Romans 13 New International Version (NIV)
Submission to Governing Authorities
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet,"[a] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
The Day Is Near
11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[c]

Romans 13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans 13 New Living Translation (NLT)
Respect for Authority
13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. 4 The authorities are God's servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. 5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.
6 Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
Love Fulfills God's Requirements
8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law. 9 For the commandments say, "You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet."[a] These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b] 10 Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God's law.
11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. 13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don't participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.

Whalers Pastorious Signs ECHL ATO ContractJuly 12th, 2018 at 9:57AM July 12th, 2018 3:08PM
Norfolk, Virginia- Niagara Whalers forward Nicholas Pastorious has signed an ATO with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL! The Norfolk Admirals are newly affiliated with the Tucson Road Runners of the AHL and the Arizona Coyotes of the NHL.
Pastorious joined the GMHL last season for the Niagara Whalers putting up 30 Goals, 44 Assists for 74 Points in only 34 Games Played, finishing the year ranked 7th overall in the GMHL South Divisional Rankings. In the playoffs, Pastorious was a force to be reckoned with scoring over a point-per a game with 6 Goals 7 Assists for 13 Points in 11 Games Played including a hat trick against the St. George Ravens. Pastorious wasn't only dominant on the ice for the Whalers, but he was a leader off the ice as well, and was the Whalers Assistant Captain for the 2017-2018 Season. According to Head Coach Terry Masterson, "Pastorious is a true leader, and a player you can count on." Pastorious enjoyed his time in the GMHL with the Whalers, stating, "The Niagara Whalers are a first class junior hockey club with professional coaches and management. This was one of the most enjoyable years I have ever had in my playing career with the Niagara Whalers. I would encourage any player younger or older who wants a professional staff from top to bottom, an opportunity to develop and move forward with their hockey career to consider joining the Niagara Whalers. The team gave me one last opportunity to make my hockey dream come true and delivered on the promises they made. I am truly thankful I was able to associate myself with the Niagara Whalers." Nicholas has gained a lot of experience from his time at the junior level and is ready to take the next step to the professional level where he has signed an ATO with the Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL.
The ECHL is the third best professional league in North America, and one of the more prestigious leagues in the world. It is affiliated with the AHL and the NHL, and has advance players through the ranks to those levels, including players like Jordie Benn (Montreal Canadiens), Mike Hoffman (Florida Panthers), and Ryan Reaves (Vegas Golden Knights). We are proud to see one of our players get an opportunity to play at this level of hockey, and we wish Pastorious the best of luck!

Artificial intelligence creates a new retail empire. Are you ready? -Ⅴ
Application of AI in Retail Industry – Smart store forecasting and marketing decisions
What else can artificial intelligence do in the retail area? For example, what role to play in the shop site selection, sales promotion?
In the past, how to select the site for new retail stores, how much it will cost, how many people can be covered, how much can be sold, etc. All these decisions are based on human experience. But in today's high-tech artificial intelligence era, these can be predicted through precise machine algorithms, and this predictive power can subvert the traditional operating model in the retail industry, resulting in greater commercial profits.
For example, if you want to open a coffee shop, you need to know how many coffee shops are nearby and the corresponding spend power surrounding. How many of these people are target groups and how to associate feature features with people's characteristics.
Contrary to the traditional analysis model, in the past, decision-making models could only include a small number of indicators. However, now machine learning can analyze more than 200 indicators at the same time, complete the analysis of multiple indicators and the complex relationships between them, and achieve things that traditional methods cannot achieve. Not only has the quantity increased, there has also been a qualitative leap.
In the United States, a predictive model based on machine learning and clever algorithmic mechanisms can now deal with the comprehensive evaluation of commercial data in 11 cities, tens of millions of POI geolocation data, as well as population, transportation, housing prices, consumption, etc. flashing high speed computing on the system screen. In addition to get the rules of reality envirenment from large amounts of data, artificial intelligence can use random forest models to predict unknown data to calculate predictors of interest to retailers, such as the size of customers and potential sales.
In addition to intelligent forecasting, artificial intelligence can also play an unprecedented role in the precise promotion of current products, such as which products will sell well, how many goods should be prepared for the year-end promotion plan.
Using artificial intelligence, intelligent selection of products can be realized, intelligent diagnosis of current category structure, optimization of category resource allocation, intelligent management of full life cycle such as automatic division of product roles, new product excavation, and elimination of old products, meanwhile, through the data of historical achievements, promotion events, holidays, and product characteristics can better predict the stock volume and effectively reduce inventory.
In the e-commerce business, JD.com has available data to predict how many individual products can be sold in the next 28 days, and put products into warehouses in advance. Moreover, to achieve personalized and accurate recommendations, the machine judges customer preferences based on online behaviors such as customer browsing trajectories and purchase records, and recommends potentially demanding products to them to improve the match between customer demand and product supply, thereby increasing transaction volume.

For the first 5 months of the year, I was living with my husband in the South of France. Provence, as they call it.
Yes, it is everything that you can imagine. Provence is COMPLETELY beautiful. What's not to delight in living in a small, Romanesque village surrounded by vineyards. The food is fresh, simple, and delicious. The wine is made in the fields nearby and unbelievable.
And as awesome as the landscape, food, and lifestyle was... I was really excited to understand why French fashion has the aura and status it does. What is it about it that makes it SO coveted and admired???
I eventually found that there are 5 KEY DIFFERENCES between French fashion and American fashion.
I found these differences by looking at my OWN closet and seeing which clothes I did NOT wear anymore, and WHY THAT WAS.
The clothes I brought from the States were primarily neutrals in pretty classic cuts/styles. A good start!
However, there was onnnnnnnnnne dress I never got around to wearing.
AND I'll attribute this piece as a consequence of being raised in LA.
So, this piece that I did NOT wear was a gold, sequin shift dress. (i know, i know... sounds like "a lot" but it's all in the styling to make it look good! I promise!!)
Besides the fact that I've been advised by TSA not to wear this dress going through airport security, I also am not likely to wear it in Provence.
This dress is just "too much" for the French.
"Mais mademoiselle, vous etes tellement belle! Pourquoi portez-vous ceci? Ca vous cache!"
It's too flashy. It's bold and trendy with the styling... it cries for a presence. It's fun and is a dress looking to have a good time! It might work for La La Land... but it just doesn't cut it for Provence.
So what did I learn, by the fact that I never wore this dress in France?
Here are my 5 Takeaways: American vs. French fashion
# 1 French fashion is relaxed with an artful ease.
The French never feel 'forced' or 'made-up'. Fashion is pleasant on the eye and never contrived.
#2 Shoes for the win!
Simple outfits turn ultimately chic with a KNOCK-OUT, well made, designer shoe. It's better to have a few shoes of higher quality than a bunch of sub-par shoes you just "get by with".
#3 It must never be "too much".
As Coco Chanel says, "before you leave the house, remove one accessory."
#4 French fashion is about classic silhouettes & prints, made impeccably well.
Investment pieces are timeless AND with beautiful attention to detail. Even down to the lining of a coat and stylistic seams do NOT get forgotten.
#5 Choose a natural makeup routine over "Done-up"
Daytime makeup is light and VERY natural. It's more common to spend more money on skincare products and foods for a healthy glow rather than makeup.
Et voila!! I've also chosen a few pieces below for you to shop!!
These pieces will get you on your way to that French Aura and coveted Look!
Try the French style and let me know what you think.


text: I'm still pondering over which DSLR to buy, my list has come to the Nikon D50 and Minolta 5D.Reviews on both these cameras seem to come out the same,both are priced around the same,they are roughly the same size,the Minolta has the anti shake system and a slightly bigger kit lens, does anyone have any views or experience as to which is the better camera ? Your views would be much appreciated.I used to have a film based SLR but no longer have any lens etc. so previous equipment is not an issue.I currently have a Nikon Coolpix4200 but miss the SLR style operation and handling.Both the D50 and 5D felt similar to hold, the Nikon seemed a bit chunkier....Many thanks in advance...

I have made quarter size batches several times. Claudia's instructions are VERY detailed. Just take your time and follow the directions taking one step at a time. If you live in Utah, the hardest part is coming up with enough Everclear at once. I was told that if you have Commissary priveledges at Hill AFB, it is cheaper there and there is no limit on how much you can buy.ReplyDelete

"If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs."
"Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."
"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected. One home run is better than two doubles."
"Our task is to read things not yet on the page."
"If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"
"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully."
"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple."
"Almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it... Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

text: Other Religions Paganism and Wicca Mortar and Pestle Share Flipboard Email Print Use a mortar and pestle when working with dry spell components. Westend61 / Getty Images Paganism and Wicca Basics Rituals and Ceremonies Sabbats and Holidays Wicca Gods Herbalism Wicca Traditions Wicca Resources for Parents by Patti Wigington Patti Wigington is a pagan author, educator, and licensed clergy. She is the author of Daily Spellbook for the Good Witch and Wicca Practical Magic. Updated May 30, 2019 The mortar and pestle set is a handy tool that many Pagans - and other folks - use for grinding and blending herbs and dried ingredients together during a magical working. The set consists of two pieces - the mortar, which is typically a bowl, although it can be flat as well, and the pestle, which is held in the hand. The wide end of the pestle, which is shaped a bit like a baseball bat, is often roughened to aid in the grinding and crushing of herbs, resins, or whatever else you may be working with. Mortar and Pestle History Interestingly, the use of the mortar and pestle ties into early herbalism by way of the pharmacy world. The University of Arizona College of Pharmacy says, "The history of the mortar and pestle is closely connected to that of pharmacy. The paired instruments have been used for millennia, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. They are mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, the oldest surviving medical document, and even in the Old Testament (Numbers 11:8 and Proverbs 27:22)... Throughout recorded history, mortars and pestles have been used for medical preparation. Compounding was an important skill, vital to the practices of pharmacy and medicine. Compounded medications were "made from scratch," personalized to suit the needs of a patient. A pharmacist would grind appropriate ingredients with a mortar and pestle to create a specialized compound." Most civilizations throughout time have used some sort of grinding and crushing tool to prepare herbs, grain, and other items for consumption. Native American tribes often incorporated flat stones into food preparation, using them to crush seeds, grains, nuts, and more. In some parts of Asia, a stone and a wooden paddle are the preferred method of grinding meat for kebbeh, and both the Romans and Egyptians used a mortar and pestle type tool to prepare medicinal concoctions. Kate Angus of The Atlantic points out that some version of this tool has been around for about ten thousand years. She says, "Throughout their long history, mortars and pestles have varied dramatically in size, style, and material depending on their purpose. Chemists and pharmacists, for example, have traditionally used small porcelain sets for trituration, the process of grinding chemical compounds. In parts of the Middle East, meat is pounded into kibbeh in mortars two or three feet wide. The Chalon and Mutsun people in California's Salinas Valley ground up acorns and grains by carving shallow depressions into bedrock. In Papua New Guinea, pestles are often carved into elaborate birds' heads; the Taino, an indigenous tribe in the Caribbean, used small figures endowed with enormous phalli. Still, the essential elements of design remain the same: a bowl and a club, used to crush and grind." In Europe, the design we know today as the traditional mortar and pestle set appears to have been in use since around the fifteenth century. Apothecaries and herbalists used them to grind plants and resins, and cooks included them as part of their regular meal prep, crushing spices, herbs, and other ingredients. Using Your Mortar and Pestle Place your herbs, spices, or other dry goods into the bowl and hold it steady with one hand. Using the other, hold the pestle. By pressing the pestle down into the mortar, and moving it back and forth, you can grind and blend the herbs or other items for spellwork. This is a great tool to use if you're using dried herbs which may be in large pieces. It also works nicely with fresh herbs, because the grinding motion of the pestle will help release essential oils from the leaves. If you're going to start using a mortar and pestle, it's a very good idea to have two different ones - this way you can use one exclusively for herbs and items that may be toxic, and the other for edible materials. Mortar and pestle sets come in a variety of materials, and you can usually find one in your local kitchen supply store. They are available in porcelain, wood, marble, and even metal. In South America, a large porous stone called a molca jete is used to grind grain and vegetables. They're fairly good-sized and wide - if you're working with large items such as corn or wheat, consider using one of these instead of the smaller mortar and pestle. Continue Reading

Sydney Rare Wine Dinner 2009
The Dinner That Started it All!
This was the dinner that started it all. A little controversial at the time when the invitation was opened in a public forum to some like minded people to come together and share some very special, well cellared wines then splitting the cost by the number of attendees. Without going into too much history those who criticised my efforts were left with nothing to say when the reports came back of how great the wines were on the evening and how happy everyone was that they had accepted the invitation. The wines, food and company were superb and the rest is history. Unfortunately only a few photo's were taken on this night and mostly of food but i have resurrected them none the less along with the original unedited notes. You will also notice when you read the tasting notes for the wines that a few extra's were also snuck into the line up on the night and it now goes without saying that this practice has become somewhat of a tradition.
Here is the Menu and original list of wines:
1976 Pol Roger Champagne with Canapés
Course 1: 1988 Krug Champagne
Wild Iranian Caviar Two-Ways, Potato Blinis & White Chocolate

Seasonal Selection of Cheese
Course 7: 1977 Pieroth Beerenauslese
Tahitian Vanilla & Chocolate Fudge Souffle, Malt-Chocolate Ice Cream, Malt Milkshake
All Saints Grand Tokay – no food
1976 Pol Roger – Deep golden almost amber in colour, fine bead with a toffee, biscuit, yeasty toasty nose. The palate showed butter scotch, nougatine, citrus, lemon and grape fruit peel and was very enjoyable. We were off to a great start.
1988 Krug – Unlike the bottle opened 12 months ago which was extremely fruity and complex this wine showed a nose of green apples, mineral and even some apple pie sweetness. The same followed on the palate, complex, tight and massive this was still only a baby and hard to believe it was 21yrs old. Incredible acid and that granny smith apple presence. Still many years ahead of it. A Super wine.
1979 Leo Buring Show Reserve Riesling – Lovely nose showing typical aged riesling characteristics with a little citrus and some Hay. Unfortunately for me the palate just didnt live upto the wonderful nose on this wine never the less an enjoyable experience with some bitter apple, mild citrus and Kero on a lean and short palate. Im guessing we were perhaps 5 years plus too late for this one.
1995 LEAS Chardonnay – Wonderful chardonnay with peach, honey dew melon and sweet glace pineapple the same followed on the palate with some nice buttery well integrated oak. Although this bottle was a touch short on the finish compared to bottles opened recently it was a another great wine and enjoyed by all. The last of the whites and so far we were all very happy with the wine gods offerings.
1958 Seppelt Bin CH16 Colin Preece wine – Firstly an amazing colour for a wine that is 50 years old unfortunately the same couldnt be said for the nose and palate which while the fruit and structure was still some what evident this bottle was clearly long gone and probably a victim of improper cellaring at some stage of its life.
1982 Wynns John Riddoch – interesting sweaty nose with asparagus and some mintiness, the palate certainly had structure, fruit (although secondary) fine tannins, spearmint, capsicum and leather. A very enjoyable experience and this bottle i feel stilll had many years ahead of it.
1983 Penfolds 707 – Lovely redish purple in colour, beautiful nose of red fruits, cassis, boysenberry with a dash of vanilla. the palate was soft and supple with gentle cassis, leather, soft tannins but a little thin on the back palate and more middle weight. As someone else at the table put it "a lovely wine to sit and drink with a good book on sunday afternoon" Drink up!
1990 Penfolds 707 – Deep purple, lovely nose of Cassis, vanilla, coffee, Anise. Big, bold and brooding this was a superb wine. The palate showed pure blackcurrant, mocha, vanilla good tannin structure and is still yet to reach its peak in my opinion. Fantastic wine.
1966 Penfolds Grange – Quite remarkable! This was something very special indeed. Well integrated, lovely soft reddish purple colour, on the nose very complex, smoke, leather, dark fruits, chocolate, liquorice and coffee which all flowed onto a glorious palate so well integrated, complex and powerful. This was quite simply a glorious old Grange that was an incredible experience to taste and probably one of the best wines i have ever drank. Thank you wine gods!
1976 Penfolds Grange – Wow! Deep purple, lovely nose of blackberry, chocolate, mint, liquorice and tar. On the palate blackberry liqueur, chocolate, coffee, tar, smoke, liquorice and a melange of other flavours in a very powerful and full package that still has so many years ahead of it. For me this wine punched above the 66 with its sheer power and was my WOTN however at the same time the 66 was also in a league of its own making WOTN a very very hard choice.
1994 Henschke Hill of Grace – dark purple in colour, lovely nose of blackberry, tar and anise. The palate showed this wine is still only a pup, powerful, muscular, tight and still quite closed the palate showed some dark berry fruits with a solid tannin structure that is still softening out. A wonderful wine that would have benefited from more time in a decanter than it was given to open and show even better. Still a great wine and a fitting end to the red wines for the evening.
1977 Pieroth Beeranauslese – Golden amber in colour, honey, citrus, apricot and toffee followed onto the palate with a dash of golden syrup richness without being cloying. This is certainly at its peak and for me almost like drinking liquid dried apricots coated in honey and golden syrup with a touch of candied citrus peel. Just Magic!
All Saints Grand Tokay – Toffee, tea, raisin, treacle, mouth coating goodness with amazing depth! I think many of you know the deal here.
1939 Seppelt Para Port – Superb Para Port in pristine condition!

"then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; and he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." (Matthew 24:30,31)
The trumpet in Bible is often used as a way to herald an event, the start of a battle, the start of a great festival, the entrance of a king and so on. There are other verses which mention the trumpets at the return of Christ:
"Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.'" (Revelation of John 11:15)
The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of God. This of course will only happen, in the fullest sense, at the return of Jesus Christ.
Also Paul by the Spirit writes, "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed." (I Corinthians 15:52)
Here Paul describes and event, an unexpected event (for some), it happens in a flash, a trumpet sounds, the last trumpet. Christ has returned. On returning there is a gathering of the saints (which we will look at in the next post).
The same if written in I Thessalonians 4:16, "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;"
Again we see the same pattern, Jesus returning with Angels (even Archangels), with a trumpet call and then a gathering of the saints (both dead and alive).
Note: There are some who don't like to link all these trumpets together, they see them as seperate trumpets. We shall look at these things a little deeper soon when we discuss the different viewpoints about the return of Christ.
What we are seeing is a pattern for the return of Christ, if you like a sequence of events.
1) Clouds 2) Angels 3) Trumpets 4) The gathering.
Why is this pattern important? It is important because it tells us when the gathering of the saints will be and that is our next topic.
God bless,
God bless,

Crown takes over Indian Government
|India's History : Modern India : British Crown takes over the Indian Government : 1858
Aftermath of 1857
By the middle of the nineteenth century, the British Empire was the largest and richest empire in the world. This naturally gave rise to the belief that the British themselves, were the chosen race; chosen to bring the benefits of western civilization to the less developed and civilized areas of the world. This white supremacy was enforced in Britain's colonies, especially in India and naturally, saw much native opposition. Indian uprisings against British rule, however, were unsuccessful due to the superior technology and organization of the British army.
In 1857, with the outbreak of the Indian Mutiny, India witnessed its first war of independence against the British. Thanks to the efficiency of British media coverage, the Britishers followed the developments of the mutiny avidly. The British saw the India Mutiny as a fight against barbarians who were rejecting the civilizing influence of Victorian Britain. But as the suppression developed, the atrocities committed by both sides became obvious. The British armies swept across Northern India in an enraged and cruel rampage of rape, murder and savagery, which shocked Victorian society.
The Background, 1857
British presence in India stretched all the way from the 17th century when the East India Company (EIC) acquired its first territory in Bombay to 1947 when India and Pakistan were granted self rule. Over the years the EIC expanded by both direct (force) and indirect (economic) means eventually, chasing the French out (after the War of Plassey, 1757) and dominating the whole of the Indian sub-continent.
British rule in India rested on its military might and as long as the British army in India was invincible, British rule was assured. This of course depended on the Indian army, which comprised of Indian troops under British officers.
British rule inevitable brought western influences into India. The spread of Christianity was to cause great unease among the Indians. Evangelical Christian missionaries had little or no understanding and respect for India's ancient faiths and their efforts to convert many natives quickly brought clashes with the local religious establishments. As the missionaries were mostly British citizens, the Colonial Administration often had to intervene to protect them, which naturally gave an impression of official condolence for Christianity.
It was against this backdrop of uneasiness in which the mutiny erupted in 1857. But the spark was interestingly not so much of religious clashes, but the grease used in the new Enfield rifle. The cartridge of the Enfield rifle was heavily greased - with animal fat, to facilitate an easier load into the muzzle. Rumors began to circular among sepoys that the grease was made of cow (sacred to Hindus) and pig (taboo to Muslims) fat. As such, biting such a cartridge was sacrilegious to both Hindus and Muslims alike. Their British officers realized their mistake and changed the grease to vegetable oils, but in this atmosphere of distrust, the mutiny seemed inevitable.
Meerut witnessed the first serious outbreak of the Indian Mutiny when angry sepoys broke open the town jail and released their comrades, who had refused to bite the new cartridges. The mutineers, joined by locals soon degenerated into a fanatic mob, which poured into the European settlement and slaughtered any Europeans or Indian Christians there. Whole families, men, women, children and servants, were killed on sight. The settlement was then burned and the mutineers fled to Delhi and proclaimed Bahadur Shah, the last of the Moguls as Emperor.
This, the mutineers had hoped to create a general rising against the British and they turned to Bahadur Shah to lead them. Forced to cooperate, Bahadur Shah accepted the allegiance of the mutineers and became the titular leader of the Indian Mutiny. Most of the Europeans living in Delhi were murdered along with Indian Christians.
The massacre at Meerut provoked a strong British respond. In mid-August, British forces, reinforced by Gurkhas from Nepal and the Queen's regiments fresh from the Crimea War began a bloody campaign to re-establish British rule in India. After a short siege, Delhi fell to the British. The Emperor's three sons, Mizra Moghul, Mizra Khizr Sultan and Mizra Abu Bakr along with the mutineers were executed. Although Bahadur Shah was spared, he was deposed and with this, ended some 200 years of Mogul rule in India.
The Aftermath
By the first six months of 1858, the British managed to regain their losses in spite of heavy resistance from the locals. With the relief of Lucknow, the possibility of British defeat became remote. The British saw themselves as dispensers of divine justice and given the initial atrocities committed by the mutineers, their cruelties were simply repayment in kind. Every mutineer was a "black-faced, blood-crazed savage" which do not deserve mercy from the British troops. Their fellow countrymen derided some British like the Governor Lord Canning, who spoke of restraint as "weak" and "indifferent to the sufferings of British subjects". In fact, Canning became known contemptuously as 'clemency Canning'.
After the British recovery, there were few sepoys captured as British soldiers bayoneted any who survived the battle. Whole villages were hanged for some real or imagined sympathy for the mutineers and the widespread looting of Indian property, was common and endorsed by the British officers. Later, convicted mutineers were lashed to the muzzles of cannon and had a round shot fired through their body. It was a cruel punishment intended to blow the body to pieces thus depriving the victim of any hope of entering paradise. Indians called this punishment "the devil's wind".Apart from the fury reprisals of the British, another significant impact for India was the abolishment of the East India Company. The British Parliament finally realized that it was inappropriate for a private company like the East India Company to exercise such enormous powers and control a land the size of India. In 1858, the East India Company was dissolved, despite a brilliant defense of its achievements by John Stuart Mill, and the administration of India became the responsibility of the Crown. Direct rule on India was exercised through the India Office, a British department of state and till 1947, India became known as the Raj, the Crown Jewel of Queen Victoria's extensive empire
Queen of England Titled Empress of India
|India's History : Modern India : Delhi Durbar: The Queen of England proclaimed Empress of India - 1877
Queen Victoria
The title Empress of India was given to Queen Victoria in 1877 when India was formally incorporated into the British Empire. It is said Victoria's desire for such a title was motivated partially out of jealousy of the Imperial titles of some of her royal cousins in Germany and Russia. Prime minister Benjamin Disraeli is usually credited with having given her the idea. When Victoria died and her son Edward VII ascended the throne, his title became Emperor of India. The title continued until India became independent from the United Kingdom in 1947.
When a male monarch held the title, his Queen consort assumed the title Queen Empress, but unlike Queen Victoria, they themselves were not reigning monarchs but the consorts of reigning monarchs.
Emperors and Empresses of India
- Queen-Empress Victoria (1877-1901)
- King-Emperor Edward VII (1901-1910)
- King-Emperor George V (1910-1936)
- King-Emperor Edward VIII (Jan-Dec 1936)
- King-Emperor George VI (1936-1947)
George VI continued to reign as King of India for two years during the viceroyalty and then the short governor-generalships of The Earl Mountbatten of Burma and of Rajagopalachari after which in 1949 India became a republic. George VI remained as King of the United Kingdom until his death in 1952.
Royal Consorts also were called Queen-Empress. This list of Queen-Empress Consorts is
- Queen Empress Alexandra (wife of Edward VII)
- Queen Empress Mary (wife of George V)
- Queen Empress Elizabeth (wife of George VI, and mother of current sovereign Elizabeth II)
Vernacular Press Act
|India's History : Modern India : Vernacular Press Act : 1878
Lord Lytton
Vernacular Press Act, 1878 a highly controversial measure repressing the freedom of vernacular press. The regime of viceroy lord lytton is particularly noted for his most controversial press policy which led to the enactment of the Vernacular Press Act on 14 March 1878. Earlier dramatic performances act (1876) was enacted to repress the writing and staging of the allegedly seditious dramas. Vernacular Press Act (1878) was aimed at repressing seditious propaganda through vernacular newspapers. Introducing the Bill the Law Member of the Council narrated how the vernacular newspapers and periodicals were spreading seditious propaganda against the government. The viceroy Lord Lytton strongly denounced newspapers published in the vernacular languages as "mischievous scribblers preaching open sedition". He remarked that the avowed purpose of most of the vernacular newspapers was an end to the British raj.The papers that made the government worried were Somprakash, Sulabh Samachar, Halisahar Patrika, Amrita Bazar Patrika, Bharat Mihir, Dacca Prakash, Sadharani and Bharat Sanskarak. All these papers were said to have been leading the seditious movement against the government. The Act provided for submitting to police all the proof sheets of contents of papers before publication. What was seditious news was to be determined by the police, and not by the judiciary. Under this Act many of the papers were fined, their editors jailed. Obviously this repressive measure came under severe criticism. All the native associations irrespective of religion, caste and creed denounced the measure and kept their denunciations and protestations alive. All the prominent leaders of Bengal and of India condemned the Act as unwarranted and unjustified, and demanded for its immediate withdrawal. The newspapers themselves kept on criticizing the measure without an end. The succeeding administration of Lord Ripon reviewed the developments consequent upon the Act and finally withdrew it.
The First Factories Act
|India's History : Modern India : Factory Act : 1881
The First Factories Act
In 1875, the first committee appointed to inquire into the conditions of factory work favoured legal restriction in the form of factory laws. The first Factories Act was adopted in 1881. The Factory Commission was appointed in 1885. The researcher takes only one instance, the statement of a witness to the same commission on the ginning and processing factories of Khandesh: "The same set of hands, men and women, worked continuously day and night for eight consecutive days. Those who went away for the night returned at three in the morning to make sure of being in time when the doors opened at 4 a.m., and for 18 hours' work, from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m., three or four annas was the wage. When the hands are absolutely tired out new hands are entertained. Those working these excessive hours frequently died." There was another Factories Act in 1891, and a Royal Commission on Labour was appointed in 1892. Restrictions on hours of work and on the employment of women were the chief gains of these investigations and legislation.
Indian National Congress
|India's History : Modern India : First meeting of the Indian National Congress : 1885
Indian National Congress
Events like the passage of the Vernacular Press Act in 1878 and the Ilbert Bill of 1882, as well as the reduction of the age limit for the Civil Services Exams in 1876 resulted in a wave of opposition from the middle class Indians. Consequently some of them came together and formed a number of small political parties that came out in the streets for protests and rallies. The British foresaw the situation resulting in another rebellion on the pattern of the War of Independence of 1857. To avoid such a situation, the British decided to provide an outlet to the local people where they could discuss their political problems. In order to achieve this goal, Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British civil servant, had a series of meetings with Lord Dufferin, the Viceroy. He also visited England and met people like John Bright, Sir James Caird, Lord Ripon and some members of the British Parliament. Hume also had the support of a large number of Englishmen in India, including Sir William Wedderbun, George Yule and Charles Bradlaugh.
On his return from Britain, Hume consulted the local Indian leaders and started working towards the establishment of an Indian political organization. He invited the convention of the Indian National Union, an organization he had already formed in 1884, to Bombay in December 1885. Seventy delegates, most of whom were lawyers, educationalists and journalists, attended the convention in which the Indian National Congress was established. This first session of Congress was presided over by Womesh Chandra Banerjee and he was also elected as the first president of the organization.
To begin with, Congress acted as a 'Kings Party'. Its early aims and objectives were:
- To seek the cooperation of all the Indians in its efforts.
- Eradicate the concepts of race, creed and provincial prejudices and try to form national unity.
- Discuss and solve the social problems of the country.
- To request the government, give more share to the locals in administrative affairs.
As time went by, the Congress changed its stance and apparently became the biggest opposition to the British government.Muslims primarily opposed the creation of Congress and refused to participate in its activities. Out of the 70 delegates who attended the opening session of the Congress, only two were Muslims. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, who was invited to attend the Bombay session, refused the offer. He also urged the Muslims to abstain from the Congress activities and predicted that the party would eventually become a Hindu party and would only look after the interests of the Hindus. Syed Ameer Ali, another important Muslim figure of the era, also refused to join Indian National Congress.
Plague in Bombay
|India's History : Modern India : Plague in Bombay : 1897
The Plague Epidemic
In September 1896 the first case of Bubonic plague was detected in Mandvi. It spread rapidly to other parts of the city, and the death toll was estimated at 1,900 people per week through the rest of the year. Many people fled from Bombay at this time, and in the census of 1901, the population had actually fallen to 780,000.
In the first year of the plague, a research laboratory was set up at the J. J. Hospital. It moved in 1899 to the Government House in Parel under the directorship of Dr. W. M. Haffkine. This was the beginning of the Haffkine Institute.
Those who could afford it, tried to avoid the plague by moving out of the city. Jamsetji Tata tried to open up the northern suburbs to accommodate such people. The brunt of the plague was borne by mill workers. The anti-plague activities of the health department involved police searches, isolation of the sick, detention in camps of travellers and forced evacuation of residents in parts of the city. These measures were widely regarded as offensive and as alarming as the rats.
In 1900, the mortality rate from plague was about 22 per thousand. In the same year, the corresponding rates from Tuberculosis were 12 per thousand, from Cholera about 14 per thousand, and about 22 per thousand from what were classified as "fevers". The plague was fearsome only because it was contagious. More mundane diseases took a larger toll.On 9th December 1898 the Bombay City Improvement Trust was created by an act of the (British) parliament. It was entrusted with the job of creating a healthier city. One of the measures taken by the CIT was the building of roads, like Princess Street and Sydenham Road (now Mohammedali Road), which would channel the sea air into the more crowded parts of the town.

"Get Windows Vista!" says a colleague. Another says, "Don't waste your money! Wait till Microsoft gets it right with Windows 7!" Your head spins. Another headache coming on. You really should upgrade to the newest OS, right? And upgrade your Office to 2007, right? And Adobe just came out with CS4, so naturally you need to get the newest slickest stuff to keep your marketing/design folks happy, right? Wrong. Read on to discover some of the key factors you need to consider before upgrading anything in your computer and IT infrastructure.
If It Ain't Broke...
I have a confession to make. I have always loved the "latest/greatest" anything, be it a toaster, car, computer, or even running shoes. Call me the ultimate consumer, a trained monkey, or a "new-a-holic," but something in me just thrills to have the best of everything. Probably because I grew up having broken stuff, and spending endless hours helping my Greek father fix them. I got tired of stuff that didn't work, and I longed for better things. Perhaps you can relate.
Now this little tendency has caused me quite a bit of trouble over the years. And helped me learn a lot as well. In fact they don't call the latest technology the "bleeding edge" for nothing. Yet I have happily, blindly, ignorantly galloped into Microsoft's newest OS's for years, dug my teeth into beta versions of software, and even bought the first version of the iPhone when it first came out (and no, I didn't wait in line all night to get one!). So what's wrong with that?
Well, technically nothing, as long as you love a challenge and a good headache. You see, I wasn't smart enough (or perhaps tired enough) to avoid installing said latest/greatest into my production systems, treading fearlessly into unknown waters until something broke, real good! Then I had to fix it, or miss a deadline or opportunity. Which leads me to the subtitle here, the first rule of thumb with upgrading anything at all on your computer is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let's define terms now, shall we?
"If it ain't broke" has a simple, elegant meaning. Exactly as the English words state, if a computer system or software application is operating correctly and you are able to accomplish what you need to do with it, then leave it alone.
"But it's only running Windows 95!"
Leave it alone! I cannot stress strongly enough how important this is. There is absolutely no business reason to upgrade a computer's hardware or software if it is functioning to specs, period.
PERIOD! Now you are starting to sound like my exuberant youthful foolhardy new-loving heart. Tsk tsk.

"Account planning exists for the sole purpose of creatingadvertising that truly connects with consumers. While many in theindustry are still dissecting consumer behavior, extrapolatingdemographic trends, developing complex behavioral models, andmeasuring Pavlovian salivary responses, Steel advocates an approachto consumer research that is based on simplicity, common sense, andcreativity--an approach that gains access to consumers' hearts andminds, develops ongoing relationships with them, and, mostimportant, embraces them as partners in the process of developingand advertising.
A witty, erudite raconteur and teacher, Steel describes howsuccessful account planners work in partnership with clients, consumer, and agency creatives. He criticizes research practicesthat, far from creating relationships, drive a wedge betweenagencies and the people they aim to persuade; he suggests new waysof approaching research to cut through the BS and get people toshow their true selves; and he shows how the right research, whentranslated into a motivating and inspiring brief, can be thecatalyst for great creative ideas. He draws upon his ownexperiences and those of colleagues in the United States and abroadto illustrate those points, and includes examples of some of themost successful campaigns in recent years, including Polaroid, Norwegian Cruise Line, Porsche, Isuzu, "got milk?" and others.
The message of this book is that well-thought-out accountplanning results in better, more effective marketing andadvertising for both agencies and clients. And also makes anevening in front of the television easier to bear for thepopulation at large."
Jon Steel is Director of Account Planning and Vice Chairman at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, an advertising agency whose clients include American Isuzu Motors, Anheuser-Busch, the California Milk Processors ("got milk?"), Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Polaroid, and Porsche. Jon began his career in advertising as a 21-year-old account planner with the English agency Boase Massimi Pollitt. By the age of 26, he was appointed to BMP's board of directors. In 1989 he left the United Kingdom to become the first Director of Account Planning at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco. He has been profiled by Adweek as "West Coast Executive of the Year," by Advertising Age as an "Agency Innovator," and by San Francisco Focus as one of the 100 smartest people in the Bay Area. In 1995, Jon Steel was inducted into the American Advertising Federation's Hall of Achievement for executives under 40.

The bare necessities: review of Underun performance running underwear
We runners spend a lot of money on kit, don't we? But how much thought do we give to our underwear, the piece of kit that's closest to our skin and can cause chafing or irritation if it's not right?I'll be honest; I'm an ex-commando runner. I used to forego underwear because normal pants are … Continue reading The bare necessities: review of Underun performance running underwear

Fixed Bridges
What is it?
A dental bridge is a false tooth (or pontic) fused between two porcelain crowns to replace one or more missing teeth. These crowns are permanently attached—or "fixed"—to the teeth on either side of the gap. A bridge can last 10 or more years with a commitment to good oral hygiene.
Bridges can:
- Restore your smile
- Restore your ability to properly chew
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Correct bite issues
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Reduce your risk of gum disease
- Improve your speech
What types are available?
There are three main types of dental bridges: traditional, cantilever and implant-supported.
Traditional bridges are the most common type. They involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in-between. They are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.
Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
Implant-supported bridges combine the benefits of both traditional and cantilever procedures, implant-supported bridges are permanently anchored and fortified with traditional implants. They offer an economical option.
Call Lori Paggioli – our Scheduling Coordinator – to schedule your appointment for fixed bridges.

Lessons From The Stanley Cup PlayoffsJune 5th, 2008 . by 21st Century Dad
Congratuations to the Detroit Red Wings – 2008 Stanley Cup Champions
2 grueling months of playoff hockey concluded last night with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. I haven't been watching the games, but when Lord Stanley's Cup is in the building, I am parked in front of the TV.
I have always watched in awe as these superb athletes fought the fight of their lives. These guys play an extremely physical sport while nursing injuries that have left me bed-ridden for days. Every year, I think of the adversities I have faced, and watching hockey inspires me to power through them, regardless of how beaten down I feel.
I am not Dr. Wayne Dollar Dyer or Deep-pocket Deepak Chopra, but today's post is about personal development and triumph over adversity. As a long-time hockey fan, I have learned much about life by following this sport. As a parent, these lessons have taken on new meanings.

Dec. 14 (UPI) -- Kevin Hart says he's "a better man" in the wake of his cheating scandal this year.
The 38-year-old actor and comedian said in an interview with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club that he's changed since he was unfaithful to wife Eniko Parrish in Las Vegas during her pregnancy.
"It's beyond irresponsible," Hart confessed. "There's no way around it. The best way to do is just address it right on."
"That's Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment," he added. "That's not the finest hour of my life. With that being said, you make your bed you lay in it. You can't say what you were thinking, because you weren't thinking."
Hart apologized to Parrish for a "bad error in judgment" in September after a person came forward with a video of the actor and another woman in bed. Parrish was pregnant with their first child at the time, and gave birth to son Kenzo in November.
"The real positive in this, I swear to God on my kids, on all my kids -- Heaven, Hendrix, Kenzo -- I'm a better man," Hart, who shares daughter Heaven and son Hendrix with ex-wife Torrei Hart, told The Breakfast Club.
"I'm telling you man, the past is the past," he added. "I'm still Kevin Hart, I am still very much myself. The changes that are coming are changes for myself to make me better. I am very happy at the [expletive] that has happened 'cause it made me better."
Hart and Parrish married in August 2016 after a two-year engagement. The actor shared the first photos of Kenzo on Instagram in November, calling the infant "a little miracle."

A thoracentesis (aspiration of fluid or air from the pleural space) is performed on patients with various clinical problems. A diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, thoracentesis may be used for:
• Removal of fluid and air from the pleural cavity
• Aspiration of pleural fluid for analysis
• Pleural biopsy
Instillation of medication into the pleural space
The responsibilities of the nurse and rationale for the nursing actions are summarized below.
1. Ascertain in advance that a chest x-ray has been ordered and completed and the consent form has been signed.
2. Assess the patient for allergy to the local anesthetic to be used.
Administer sedation if prescribed.
3. Inform the patient about the nature of the procedure and:
a. The importance of remaining immobile
b. Pressure sensations to be experienced
c. That minimal discomfort is anticipated after the procedure
4. Position the patient comfortably with adequate supports. If possible,
place the patient upright or in one of the following positions:
a. Sitting on the edge of the bed with the feet supported and
arms and head on a padded over-the-bed table
b. Straddling a chair with arms and head resting on the back of
the chair
c. Lying on the unaffected side with the bed elevated 30 degrees
to 45 degrees if unable to assume a sitting position.
5. Support and reassure the patient during the procedure.
a. Prepare the patient for the cold sensation of skin germicide
solution and for a pressure sensation from infiltration of local
anesthetic agent.
b. Encourage the patient to refrain from coughing.
6. Expose the entire chest. The site for aspiration is visualized by chest x-ray film and percussion. If fluid is in the pleural cavity, the thoracentesis site is determined by the chest x-ray, ultrasound scanning, and physical findings, with attention to the site of maximal dullness on percussion.
7. The procedure is performed under aseptic conditions. After the skin is cleansed, the physician uses a small-caliber needle to inject a local anesthetic slowly into the intercostal space.
8. The physician advances the thoracentesis needle with the syringe attached. When the pleural space is reached, suction may be applied with the syringe.
a. A 20-mL syringe with a three-way stopcock is attached to the needle (one end of the adapter is attached to the needle and the other to the tubing leading to a receptacle that receives the fluid being aspirated).
b. If a considerable quantity of fluid is removed, the needle is held in place on the chest wall with a small hemostat.
9. After the needle is withdrawn, pressure is applied over the puncture site and a small, sterile dressing is fixed in place.
10. Advise the patient that he or she will be on bed rest and a chest x-ray will be obtained after thoracentesis.
11. Record the total amount of fluid withdrawn from the procedure and document the nature of the fluid, its color, and its viscosity.
If indicated, prepare samples of fluid for laboratory evaluation. A specimen container with formalin may be needed for a pleural biopsy.
12. Monitor the patient at intervals for increasing respiratory rate; asymmetry in respiratory movement; faintness; vertigo; tightness in chest; uncontrollable cough; blood-tinged, frothy mucus; a rapid pulse; and signs of hypoxemia.

Reserve enlisted leaders featured in recruiting campaign -
RESERVIST Magazine, Issue 4 2018
Over the summer, the Coast Guard Recruiting Command partnered with Buzzfeed on a photo essay that highlighted 10 women in the Coast Guard. The article, "10 Pieces of Advice from Badass Women of the Coast Guard," featured three reservists: Petty Officer 3rd Class Brittny Thompson, Petty Officer 2nd Class Chrissie Edwards and Petty Officer 1st Class Melissa Sprout.
Apart from Thompson's Type III uniform, the women blend in with their active duty shipmates. Chief Petty Officer Nick Ameen and his team at CGRC's marketing division worked to identify operational and support ratings, active and reserve members and, among the reservists, members of the blue guard (sectors and stations) and green guard (port security units and coriverons).
"I wanted to get as much of a broad-spectrum representation as possible," said Ameen. "My main job is like a producer; I scour the service, looking for the right people to place into our advertisements. That's the benefit of being a PA [public affairs specialist]. You develop a network." Many people remember the late-night television and radio commercials of the mid-1990 and 2000s, but as technology changed, so did CGRC's approach to finding the Coast Guard's newest recruits.
"The principles of recruiting don't change, but the platforms do," said Ameen. "Every single job in the Coast Guard is open to everyone, and we're getting that message to the people via the platforms they're already on. We're on Instagram doing Instagram stories. We have the chat program—if potential applicants have a question, they can instantly talk with a recruiter. It's a full-time social effort."
Thompson, Edwards and Sprout gave great leadership advice in each of their quotes, and based on their contributions to the Coast Guard's missions, it's no surprise that they were chosen to represent the best of the service.
Brittny Thompson - ME3, Port Security Unit 311, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
Brittny Thompson has come a long way. PSU 311's jack-of-all-trades petty officer was recently featured in the Buzzfeed article "10 Pieces of Advice from Badass Women of the Coast Guard." In her quote, she said,
"…never give up… always put forth the effort to make it to the next level. We are stronger than we think, and we can accomplish anything we put our minds to. Always use positive influences to fuel your passion to become a better person, and always surround yourself with like-minded people who want to be successful."
Thompson's words came from a storied past. A decade ago, she wasn't on the best side of the law. In fact, while in high school, Thompson found herself hanging out with the wrong crowd and doing things she wasn't proud of.
She laughed, thinking back to her rowdy days. "When I was sitting in the back of a police car, I'm looking at the police officer in front, thinking, 'I want to be doing his job.'"
She remembered one officer, and older man who shook his head and told her she'd never be able to get a good job continuing as she was. Thompson was determined to prove him wrong.After high school, she enrolled in college, and chose criminal justice as her major.
She started to realize she had a passion for law enforcement.
Two weeks after completing her bachelors in 2011, Thompson enlisted in the Coast Guard, and sought to become a maritime enforcement specialist (ME). She was disappointed to find out that she'd be on the ME A-school list for four years. But she was a hard worker, always seeking additional responsibilities. While working at the damage control (DC) shop at her first active duty unit in Sector Port Angles, Wash., the crew started to recognize Thompson's spirit and initiative.
"I think my master chief knew I was bored at the sector, but he allowed me to do a lateral move to the station," said Thompson. "I struck BM [boatswain mate] there; I was one of thelast people to make it through the striker program."
Thompson left active duty in 2015 and became a federal corrections officer. At night, she worked on her graduate degree, earning a master's in forensics.
But as a new member of the Reserve, she said her new unit, PSU 311, was a game changer for her. She went through Basic PSU school, a training course for all new PSU members.
"I got really good at the weapons," said Thompson, who's been deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since early spring.
Her command recognized Thompson's skills and attention to detail, and they asked her to become a PQS administrator for the unit's weapons program. She's even been to engineering school. She maintains all the unit's law enforcement gear, though she added, "I didn't realize how much work goes into it, especially before an RFO [ready-for-operations evaluation]."
"I do more things here as a reservist than I ever did on active duty," said Thompson. "I'm more hands on here."
The Long Beach native said she was thrilled to be chosen for the Buzzfeed article last summer, and she was surprised to see how far reaching the news of her appearance was. High school friends contacted her and tagged her in social media posts, and old shipmates reached out to congratulate her. Her quote meant a lot to her because of her background, and she said, "I thought it would be a great exposure for the PSU."
Thompson's dedicated to her unit.
"PSU is a reserve unit, made up of reservists. We only have like six active duty members there, and that's it. There's a lot of opportunities, a lot of funding. In the blue guard, as a small boat station reservist, all my gear would be hand-me-down, but at the PSU, there's opportunities and they support us. We have to be ready, at all times, to deploy within 96 hours."
Thompson is torn, because she was just hired by Customs and Border Protection, and she's considering an assignment in Honolulu, yet another facet to her career of law enforcement experience.
However, that might mean leaving her PSU, which is based in California. Thompson said she would miss the "green guard."
"You know, I'm a very active person, I want to be a boarding team member, boarding officer, and I'm willing to work on my own time to make that happen. I want to be at a station that has those same opportunities for reservists."
She might keep the door open to further deployments, volunteering with the Coast Guard's other PSUs as they rotate through Guantanamo Bay on nine-month security duty.
"I just like deploying," said Thompson. "I joined the Coast Guard with the intention of being hands on."

UNITY, Maine—The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) men's basketball team completed the season sweep of the Unity College Rams, this time winning on the road 81-58 Wednesday, Jan. 16.
First-year Ian Regan (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) led the way with a season-high 20 points on six made three-pointers—accounting for half of the SeaWolf makes from downtown. Senior captain Atencio Martin (Kittery, Maine) grabbed a game-high 14 rebounds while Anderson Kavutse (Westbrook, Maine) went for his steady 11 points, and Jacobee Burpee (Manchester, N.H.) his seven assists.
Alike the SMCC women, the men committed only one turnover and out-rebounded the opponent by almost double. It was also the sixth time this season the SeaWolves have held their opponent to under 60 points.
Unity's Hunter Engel was his team's top scorer with 19.
Following the game, Head Coach Matt Richards reflected, "Everyone found their way into the scoresheet tonight and that's something we as a coaching staff love to see. We scored the basketball with some efficiency, and most importantly took care of business yet again on the road."
The action continues when SMCC travels to the University of Maine at Machias on Sunday, Jan. 20 for a 3 p.m. tip. WATCH. For game day weather updates visit https://twitter.com/SMCCseawolves.
