text: This is an established fact that once upon a time the civilization of Mera Bhaarat Mahaan was a leading ideology because of our thinking and practicing unity in diversity. Now, a section of people who represent fused and confused ideology and believe that whatever the past legacy we had are useless discriminative and feel that only imported communism can solve all evils of the socio-political situation – although, author of these lines have entirely different opinion. The author may be branded as disgruntled mind, as once upon a time he himself was having love affairs with such ideology when he was young college going student with slightly above average IQ during late sixties and upto late eighties. It was 1968, when BBD moved from a very close traditional Brahmin atmosphere of a remote village in the then Gaya district of Bihar to a more liberal, clean, semiurban atmosphere with international repute as abode of Lord Shiva – one among 12 jyotirlingam – Baidyanathdham Deoghar (now in Jharkhand) – sizeable number of population was migrants. Majority of them were Bengalies with upper middle class tag, but residents only for few days and were called locally as "changers" and ridiculed as 'damm cheaps'. Not far from the place a new movement had taken place called Naxalism. The place was nice for a hideout for few leaders. They were getting good support and all logistics from the local Bengali intelligentsia. The place was frequented by Com. Kanu Sanyal and Com. Jangal Santhal. But BBD never saw presence of Com. Charu Majumdar. Basudeo da a first class student was his neighbor and Dr. Bhattacharjee who was the professor at Deoghar College were guiding force for BBD to develop romance with the leftist ideology. Strong hate was infused for Vidyasagar and Mahatma Gandhi. Incidentally the birthplace of Vidyasagar was not far off. From crow fly point of view village Naxalbari was not more than 100 KM away from the place and local people were mostly santhals. The santhals were so simple and honest people that cannot be described. It can only be felts to be believed. Santhals were truly Good men and God men. Siddhu, Kanhu were their established leaders and Birsa had already acquired the position of Bhagwan. BBD was physically 14 years old only, so the readers may infer the mentality of a boy who was borne under influence of Gemini and a borne rebel. BBD was borne with a manufacturing defect of reactionary, inviting irritating argument, and nagging having problems with all and sundry. The path of naxalism was a blind tunnel. If you have witnessed a Bangla movie SAGINA remade as SAGINA MAHTO (Dilip Kumar Sairabano starrer) you may get a glimpse of harsh reality. BBD was lucky to get out of this tunnel by the end of 1971 – say roughly 30-35 months. Again, this period provided a laboratory for political churning in Bihar and strong political leader in Bengal. Mahamaya baboo represented a weak government while SS Ray was just opposite. Under the leadership of Indira Priyadarshini Siddharth baboo had made a comprehensive roadmap to crush the naxal movement, which was successfully implanted by the entire team. BBD, experienced and witnessed those actions, inactions, decisions and after effects from both the angles. Friends like Jiwan, Durga, Arbind, Rajshekhar Richards, Dilip maamu (Dilip Sinha and Dileep Richards) were the source of inspiration, information etc. Then there was lull from 1973 to end of 1978 due to quest for livelihood. BBD acquired double graduation, got married; and blessed with two sons (both were products of unemployed graduates) During last days of 1978, BBD was posted as a development Banker. The place was further closer to the village Naxalbari – this time less than 50 KM geographical distance. The entire working situation was an example of blatant and nauseating explicit exploitation of adivasis – the most pious but highly exploited common men. We, as a banker too had become a part of the team to take benefit of the situation. BBD finds no word to share the height and depth of level of inhuman behavior of WE THE PEOPLE. On the date of joining the Bank, that was 30.12.1978, BBD was strong follower of leftwing ideology. BBD was supported by Com. Sengupta, Com. Baraik under the influence of great Com. Tarkeshwar Chakraborty. But, as BBD was having very strong liking or disliking character as manufacturing defect – argued with Com. Tarkeshwar Chakraborty as his associate in travel in major part of Punea Division of the Bank, and found that Shri N.C. Mitra (a senior level development Banker (may call him management representative) was doing better service than Comrade (by the time dada was one among the Directors) while one Shri Diwan another Director of the Bank had innovative idea for development in Vaishali area of the Bank, which was implemented under his direct supervision. The love of the left wing ideology when tested from ground reality, even in the area very close to the place of birth of the extreme left wing was vanishing in thin air. Ultimately, BBD became a member of Junior Management Scale I with few months. First reaction was from Yadav ji – the Branch Head. He advised that as now I am part of management – ensure that whatever you were having grievances from management, will not allow happening wherever you are in the decision taking position. Destiny brought BBD at another place where leftwing ideology had great impact and it was Dhanbad – now in Jharkhand. BBD was the branch head of a fairly large branch of public sector commercial bank. The unit was notoriously infamous for trade union activism. The area was notoriously infamous for Coal mafia – a bye product of trade union activism, and countless graveyards of industrial units – once again gift of trade union activism. By the time BBD had personal experience of trade union activism at Kolkata – thanks to Com. S.K. Bose, Com. S.C. Das, Com. P.K. Das, Com. Shyamal Mukherjee, Com. D.K Rakshit, Com. Ashis Sengupta. Comrades at Kolakata were my guru (teachers). BBD closely witnessed the episodes of N.S.Road Kolkata, meetings and dictates at G.C. Avenue, differences between HR and MR. Then at Dhanbad, my next in command was Com. Tapan Sarkar – a very hardcore leftwing ideology supporter with his own perception of Banking. During the last few legs of active service of the Bank, destiny put me to understand leftwing ideology in Wynad district of Kerala – again a laboratory for BBD to understand this issue. North India particularly Bihar and UP states are victim of selective thought process of sickulars and pseudo liberals. The discrimination between haves and have-nots in rural area of Wynad, as observed by BBD was the worst of its kind. Now, BBD is retired person with nearly 50 years (half a century) of close watch to the so called pro poor (or any adjective you can use) ideology, had no gainful fulltime employment, and have no better option other than wasting time on screen including social media. Had to bear great intellectuals like Raza, Yechuri, Karat, Kancha, John Dayal, Varshney, Suneet Chopra few brains of alumni of JNU. BBD is confused once again – are they truly reflect their view points or act as paid stage actors? Nearly 50 years of confusion dear readers. Kindly do mercy and suggest where BBD went wrong – if at all. Either he is right in his perception that they have got only NEGATIVITY, ANIMOSITY AND HATRED towards the established system and procedure and ultimately a bunch of fused & confused bulbs of Indian politics, or BBD is a bloody stupid idiot.

Tony La Russa awed by Baseball Hall of Fame
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) Surrounded by statues of the game's greats, Tony La Russa was simply awe-struck as he contemplated his place in baseball history.
"I'm getting overwhelmed," the former manager said Thursday after touring the Baseball Hall of Fame in preparation for his induction this summer. "When you get over the overwhelming, you try to sort out the impressions."
"I'm looking at Babe Ruth over there, and I look over here and there's Ted Williams. There's Tony La Russa. You've got to be kidding," he said. "It's really difficult because this is an overwhelming place, especially when you go see the archives."
The 69-year-old La Russa is the third-winningest manager in the majors, leading Oakland to the 1989 World Series title and the St. Louis Cardinals to championships in 2006 and 2011.
La Russa was unanimously elected in December by the Hall of Fame's expansion-era committee along with former managerial colleagues Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.
They will be inducted July 27 with pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine and slugger Frank Thomas, who were selected in January in their first time on the writers' ballot.
"It's absolutely perfect," La Russa said of the class. Cox (2,504) and Torre (2,326) are fourth and fifth all-time in managerial victories.
La Russa compiled 2,728 wins in 33 seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Oakland and St. Louis, behind only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763). Members of the Hall of Fame's second class in 1937, the plaques honoring Mack and McGraw are attached to a wall – one atop the other – near the entrance to the Plaque Gallery, and La Russa made sure to look.
"They didn't acknowledge me when I walked by," La Russa said with a smile.
La Russa's teams finished first 12 times and won six pennants, and he was picked as Manager of the Year four times, finishing second in the voting five other times. He went to the World Series three straight years from 1988-90 and also lost in the 2004 World Series when his Cardinals were swept by the Boston Red Sox.
In 1983, La Russa managed the White Sox to their first postseason berth in 24 years, and 13 years later rewarded new Cardinals owners with a division title in his first season in St. Louis (1996). That ended the franchise's nine-year postseason slump, and they made it to the playoffs nine times in 16 seasons overall.
La Russa also had 70 postseason victories, trailing only Torre's 84, and he and his role model, Sparky Anderson, are the only managers to win the World Series in both leagues.
La Russa's plaque will go on a wall not far from Anderson's.
"More than anything, I just appreciate being part of three organizations that contributed to the record that earned this selection," La Russa said. "My feeling, very specifically, is that everybody that was part of those three organizations are part of this."
That La Russa found success in the dugout and not as a player is not a surprise. He made his big league debut as a teenage infielder with the 1963 Kansas City Athletics and appeared in just 132 games over six seasons, hitting .199 with no home runs and seven RBIs.
"I kind of made it because I got to sit on the bench in the big leagues," he said. "That's how lousy I was. I was hoping the guy wouldn't call me in to play. That's the truth. I was more a cheerleader."
La Russa has spent the past two years as an adviser to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, working closely with Torre on the installation of instant replay into the game.
"I miss the winning and losing," La Russa said. "I think anybody that competes does. I'm very fortunate that MLB and the commissioner have given me a chance to stay close to the game. I really appreciate what I'm doing. I think it (instant replay) is going to work out."
La Russa walked off into retirement after the Cardinals won the 2011 World Series, the grandest of exits.
"It was like Fantasy Island the way it finished," he said.

Tuesdays are for posts on church development and leadership.
Remember this song?
If faithfulness is what God longs for what we do with what we've been given matters, and not necessarily the end results. It reasons to say those given more, more is expected. For example, are well resourced churches being faithful with what they've been given, or are they using the vast majority of resources to cater exclusively to the already churched?
Usually a good measure of faithfulness is how a budget is used. We live in a time when the best many churches can muster is a mere 10% of annual budgets going towards activities not for the membership. Is this faithfulness?
If not, then what should our measure of faithfulness be? Attendance? Outreach? Money? Building? Size? Or something else?
If faithfulness is what God longs I believe it should look like the calling found here: Ephesians 4:1-2. Trouble is, many leaders measure faithfulness in two different ways: the individualized relationship with God, and corporate definitions based on free-market metrics.
For most contemporary churches the ABCs (attendance, buildings, cash) are THE measure of success (no thanks to the widely popular National Church Development craze). Thankfully, Jesus didn't care much about the ABCs, he yearns for faithfulness to this call: love one another.
This call doesn't mean the race for more and more, or bigger and bigger. I think it means, particularly with established churches, DEEPER with what you've already been given.
[tweethis]Deeper in the right things doesn't chase the continued commoditization of church services, programs, and events, but seeks depth in existing relationships (discipleship) and presence (parish). [/tweetthis]
What if we seek the embodied characteristics of deeper Christian experience? Experiences found notably in a re-orientation to faithful presence in our place (neighborhood), and the renewed attraction towards robust discipleship coupled with deeper Christian spirituality in worship.
The rhetoric is out there for this shift, but we're still struggling to find a rhythm of embodied Christian spirituality in an age of rampant consumerism. Nonetheless, here are some pragmatic responses.
Leaders can shift towards DEEPER but it will come at the cost of losing some certainty. Certainty is what a religious consumer expects in the sterilized religious experience. Certainty breeds a system that needs the ABCs. Certainty denies mystery–the space where we can profoundly encounter God anew.
Another rhythm of embodied spirituality returns to how we live out the gospel in our neighborhoods. The measure for the things we loudly preach on Sunday is found in decades of faithful neighborhood presence and practice, not in decades hanging out with Christians. Jesus knew all about the power of localize place and depth, which is why God became flesh and moved into the neighborhood. Simply yet profoundly, perhaps a faith measure isn't what we can do in front of other Christians, rather who we are when those Christians aren't looking. Perhaps our impact isn't in the numbers but rather our faithfulness to embody Jesus in the slow arduous meandering of the few deep relationships found in our space and place.
Perhaps that's all Jesus asks of us because that's all we could handle if we were to take his call seriously.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Marking the feast of St. Josephine Bakhita, a former slave, Pope Francis urged Christians to help victims of human trafficking and migrants, especially the Rohingya people being chased from Myanmar.
For the Catholic Church, St. Bakhita's feast day, Feb. 8, is a day of prayer for victims of trafficking.
(See a related video.)
Pope Francis asked government officials around the world to "decisively combat this plague" of human trafficking, paying particular attention to trafficking in children. "Every effort must be made to eradicate this shameful and intolerable crime."
Describing St. Bakhita as a "young woman who was enslaved in Africa, exploited, humiliated," Pope Francis said she never gave up hope and, finally, she was able to migrate to Europe.
Holding up a booklet with a photograph of the Sudanese saint, who died in Italy in 1947, the pope continued telling her story. In Europe, he said, "she heard the call of the Lord and became a nun," joining the Canossian Daughters of Charity.
"Let us pray to St. Josephine Bakhita for all migrants and refugees who are exploited and suffer so much," the pope said.
"And speaking of migrants who are exploited and chased away, I want to pray with you today in a special way for our Rohingya brothers and sisters," the pope continued. "These people, thrown out of Myanmar, move from one place to another because no one wants them."
Pope Francis told the estimated 7,000 people at his audience that the Rohingya, who are Muslim, "are good people. They are our brothers and sisters. They have been suffering for years. They have been tortured, killed, just because they want to keep their traditions and their Muslim faith."
He led the audience in praying the Lord's Prayer "for our Rohingya brothers and sisters."
In a report released Feb. 3, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said since October, there had been escalating violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar. The report cited eyewitness reports of mass gang-rape, killings — including of babies and young children — beatings, disappearances and other serious human rights violations by the country's security forces.
An estimated 66,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh since October, the report said.
The recent violence, the U.N. said, "follows a long-standing pattern of violations and abuses; systematic and systemic discrimination; and policies of exclusion and marginalization against the Rohingya that have been in place for decades in northern Rakhine state."
In his main audience talk, Pope Francis continued to discuss the characteristics of Christian hope, which should be both tender and strong enough to support those who suffer and despair.
The Gospel does not call Christians to pity the suffering, but to have compassion, which means suffering with them, listening to them, encouraging them and offering a helping hand, the pope said.
The Gospel calls Christians "not to build walls, but bridges, not to repay evil with evil, but to defeat evil with goodness (and) offense with forgiveness, to live in peace with all," he said. "This is the church. And this is what Christian hope accomplishes when it takes on the strong and, at the same time, tender features of love."

Key Points
- Front-running opposition candidates are unlikely to hinder passage of the 2019 government budget, required before Congress breaks for recess on 21 December.
- Priorities for the president-elect will include fiscal changes, job creation measures, and security responses.
- Diplomatic relations with China and the United States over migration, aid, and investment issues will influence foreign investment levels for the next administration.
The incumbent Farabundo Marti for National Liberation Front (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional: FMLN), represented by Hugo Martínez, polled a distant third at 7.2% behind right-leaning Grand Alliance for National Unity (Gran Alianza por la Unidad Nacional: GANA), the third-largest party in the Legislative Assembly.
GANA, supported by 28.9% of poll respondents, is fronting presidential candidate former San Salvador mayor Nayib Bukele. The lead opposition party, the right-leaning National Republican Alliance (Alianza Republicana Nacionalista: ARENA), fielding supermarket magnate Carlos Calleja, received 16.8% support.
Under contention is the best approach to stabilise El Salvador's rising debt obligations, improve its security environment, and stimulate economic growth with an eye to reigning in persistent migrant outflow to the United States. Incumbent President Salvador Sánchez Cerén has faced stiff opposition and entrenched political polarisation in the legislative assembly that has hindered his administration's efforts to address fiscal weaknesses including an indebted pension system and periodic liquidity shortfalls. IHS Markit expects GDP growth to remain stable at 2.27% of GDP in 2018 and 2.26% in 2019.
Fiscal management strategies lead campaign issues
GANA's Bukele has campaigned on a social welfare platform, proposing to reverse pension reforms implemented under the previous administration that he claims favoured pension fund managers over contributors. Bukele stated his administration will not issue business investment incentives and will oppose legislation establishing special economic or free-trade zones.
Instead, he favours the creation of a USD300-million productive credit fund through private banks to facilitate formalisation of small and medium-sized unregistered businesses, arguing formalisation of El Salvador's informal economy in a manner like that recently implemented in Honduras will expand the tax base and increase government revenues.

The jury all wrote down on their slates, 'She doesn't believe there's an atom of meaning in it,' but none of them attempted to explain the paper.
'If there's no meaning in it,' said the King, 'that saves a world of trouble, you know, as we needn't try to find any. And yet I don't know,' he went on, spreading out the verses on his knee, and looking at them with one eye; 'I seem to see some meaning in them, after all.'

The International Starch Forum is intended to: promote a robust industry dialogue; identify and discuss common industry challenges; and provide for information sharing with industry colleagues. Please download Mr. Bode's presentation at the link below.
We invite you to learn more about the international Starch Forum by browsing this website.
If you are interested in joining our Forum mailing list, please submit your information in the Contact section.
The International Starch Forum is a developing global consortium of starch and sweetener stakeholders with four primary functions:
If you are interested in joining our Forum mailing list, please submit your information in the Contact section.
To share resources and coordinate on product reputation defense.
To share resources and coordinate on policy advocacy, including health & nutrition, workplace safety, sustainability, and environmental affairs.
Present common positions on product safety and nutrition issues to international organizations (e.g. WHO, international nutrition/scientific societies).
Provide joint representation on areas of shared interest to international standards organizations (e.g. Codex, ISO)
21st Century Challenges for a Changing World
By the year 2050, the world population is expected to rise to over 9 billion people with nearly all of this occurring in developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America. During this period of global population growth, an additional 3 billion people are expected to enter the middle class by 2030. In order to meet the nutrition demands of this growing population, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization predicts that food production will need to increase by 70 percent.
At the same time, developed economies such as the United States and the European Union are beginning to see a profoundly different shift in consumption patterns. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the sustainable aspects of their food including safety, nutritional value and environmental footprint. This is leading to mounting pressure for transparency and accountability among food producers and processors.
This new focus on sustainable production growth must occur as climate patterns continue to change. Many parts of the world are already beginning to contend with more intense droughts, larger floods and the proliferation of crop destroying weeds, insects and diseases. Sound scientific solutions, such as biotechnology, and global cooperation on decarbonization must be a part of any resolute effort toward mitigation and adaptation.
The Vital Role of the Global Starch Industry
The starch industry occupies a unique position between agriculture and the public. They are at the very heart of food production: supplying hundreds of ingredients for use in thousands of food products and animal feed. Many of today's shelf-stable foods are produced using starches which enable them to maintain the proper textural characteristics during freezing, thawing and heating.
At the same time, starches play a vital role in a wide variety of products beyond food. Natural and modified food starched can be found in products and processes in the consumer products, pharmaceutical, energy, industrial and chemical sectors. With the world beginning a gradual shift away from fossil fuels as the primary engine of economic prosperity, there will be a larger opportunity for starch producers to contribute renewable, sustainable materials through the bioeconomy.
Key Issues Facing the Global Starch Industry:
Food and Workplace Safety
Food safety is very important to worldwide socio-economic development as foodborne diseases can cause significant disruptions in a country's economy. Many of the issues that can cause unsafe food can be addressed through proper workplace health and safety procedures. Ensuring a safe and productive workforce is vital to the security of society as a whole.
Environmental Responsibility
Meeting the demands of the now while ensuring future generations are able to meet their own means carefully balancing production methods with the environmental impact of these methods. And this must all occur within the framework of intensifying environmental regulation. Many of these responsibilities can be addressed through the advancement of the bioeconomy and biogenic CO2 as 21st century solutions.
Sustainable Production
A significant improvement in food production will be necessary to meet rising global demand while working with finite natural resources. This goal can be achieved through adaptation of best management practices on farmlands, more sophisticated farm equipment for efficient application of resources, and an acceleration in the development and utilization of biotechnology.

Our Story
Sign up for our newsletter
email us
In 2012, we converted our fruit and vegetable farm into Colorado's first organically certified commercial aquaponics operation and soon afterwards expanded into herbs and hemp. With over 60 acres of pristine farmland on the banks of the Piedra River, Chimney Rock Farms borders the San Juan National Forest wilderness area which is the source of our water supply. We drip and flood irrigate river water originating from snow melt high in the Rockies, guaranteeing no herbicide or pesticide run-off from upstream conventional farms or industrial parks. Since we don't use ditch water, nor pump groundwater; we know the source, quality and sustainability of our water supply will meet our customers desire for pure food and hemp products far into the future. To us "Pure" means much more than "Organic" because it includes sustainability. Our research includes on-farm energy production and regenerative field farming practices.
Much of our hemp is grown on contract for nutraceutical companies requiring full spectrum oils high in cannabinoids such as CBD, CBC, CBG, CBN in addition to vital amino acids, vitamins, terpenes and trace minerals (
often lacking from overseas sources)
which contribute to good health*. We provide the highest quality hemp oil to the market by feeding our soils not just plants, controlling quality beyond industry practices, and delivering it via a fully transparent supply chain.
Early native Americans once considered this land sacred and were among the first humans to farm in North America. Their staple crop called "Teosinte" was the seed grass precursor of the corn we grow today. The farm is nestled in a magnificent valley within the shadows of the twin rock spires of the Chimney Rock National Monument. Native Americans used Chimney Rock as a celestial calendar for planting and harvesting. The connection between humans, nature and
the land
runs deep at Chimney Rock Farms.
Germination of seeds is still illegal in some states. And federally, cannabis growing is in a legal gray area. Be informed before you purchase.
By purchasing, you are indicating that you are at least 18 years of age, and are aware of your local laws regarding growing this plant.
You also waive any liability against Chimney Rock Farms if you act outside your laws. Chimney Rock Farms is not trying to persuade anyone to break the laws in their state or location.

Wisdom doesn't come with age or experience; it comes from God. And without wisdom, we can't see the world as it is, see current events as they really are, holistically, through wisdom as God sees them. Human logic is faulty and limited, so we must cling tightly to the Word of God which tells us how things are: the Truth about life and reality.
Job 12
This is a rebuttal against the arguments of the three friends—Eliphaz: the argument of history, Bildad: of science; Zophar: of philosophy and theology. Job's concluding dialogue is breaking all their worldviews apart. He now begins to attack all three of them (and all three disciplines: history, science, and philosophy/theology). So far they have assumed that they can understand God and His dealings in heaven: this is the pre-modern viewpoint—that everything on earth reflects everything in heaven. Job 12-13 is his sarcastic response against the DR Principle and the pre-modern worldview.
Job 12:2
Here he addresses "the people" plural, referring to these three. He's being sarcastic. Wisdom dies with them, because they kill wisdom. Their words are the direct opposite of anything that is perceptive or has skill in life. Wisdom is the skill of applying Truth to life in all its diversity. Job's point is that their words lack that skill completely. Job isn't accusing them of being ignorant, but of being incapable of handling the Truth, which is Wisdom. A simple example is little kids who can memorize piles of memory verses in Awanna, but they don't understand them and how to use/apply them.
Job 12:3
Job says he knows everything they know, that there's nothing new here.
Job 12:4
Job says they are just mocking him, making fun of his pain. They claim that God would never condescend to answer his questions. This is VITAL to remember later.
They can't even see what's in front of them because they are mocking the righteous man. This in essence is the picture of the folly of human rationality: we see what we want to see (we are biased) and we can't handle the big picture.
The book of Job is intended to shatter every worldview except God's—the right one.
Job 12:5
Presents the DR Principle.
Job 12:6
Job is saying the DR Principle doesn't work.
Job 12:7
"Ask the beasts…" literally "behemoth" This is laced with irony because Job is saying to the scientist, look at your own cows and let them teach you.1
Job 12:12
This is probably a proverbial statement taken from the culture, an axiom from the DR system which says wisdom comes with age. Well, Job's friends are older, but wisdom has died with them because they aren't actually wise. All these holes are popping up in his worldview and the whole thing is falling apart.
Job 12:13
Job speaks Truth. Wisdom isn't a by-product of life; it's with God and comes from Him. And in order to come to Him you must have fear; this is why the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
When something doesn't go the way you think it should, it shows you have a faulty worldview.
Job's statements about God go from Job 12:13-25. Eliphaz spent about four verses (Job 5:8-11) on the complexity of God, but Job spends 12: 3 times as much. Basically he's proving he knows more about the complexity of God than Eliphaz.
In this section he proves that God is the wild card in our system of life, and if he isn't there, life doesn't make sense because the DR Principle (i.e.: you reap what you sow) doesn't hold up.
Job 12:14
He begins by affirming God's sovereignty, something the other three all agree on.
Job 12:16
Begins to transfer from God's wisdom into how it works in the world.
Job 12:17
At this point Job starts to rhyme. It's become a rap-battle just so Job can prove he's even better than the friends who are talking down to him.
"Counselors" and "judges" are from the military and political system. You'd expect them to be very smart because they are the backbone of society.
Job 12:18
Kings are even subordinated to God. God can reverse the flow of power. It's natural for us to expect power and wisdom to come from certain places, but they don't always work that way. If you believe otherwise how can your worldview survive?
Job 12:19
Priests. We expect purity and merit to come to them, from them, but it doesn't always work that way either. They should always receive God's blessing for their merit, but priests are let down all the time in the Bible.
Job 12:20
Even the people who have studied and worked hard for knowledge don't always say smart things, aren't always discerning and helpful. It doesn't always work the way you think it should, even in intellectual things.
Job 12:21
Job 12:22
We can discover things out of the darkness, so that means our worldview can never actually contain all the things to be discovered because your worldview never knew they existed before. Example: When they discovered quantum mechanics people were jumping out of windows and committing suicide. Why? Because they discovered something new that destroyed everything they thought about physics. It shattered all their models because they found something new which had been there in Reality all along.
Another example: Sociologists have finally discovered that kids by the age of three months know right from wrong and make moral choices, even though 20 years ago they berated Christians and said that kids were basically good, or at least neutral.
Job's point is their worldviews can't handle it. Even Job sees that his own worldview is inadequate.
Job 12:23
The reversal of stability. We think nations will always go on, but they will fall. And Job doesn't even have the host of empires we have now to prove this point. Rome, Greece, Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, etc.
Job 12:24-25
Concluding indictments against Job's friends. People are in the dark and have no clue what's going on. God is complicated we can't even predict them. He breaks our cause-and-effect models and we don't know where to go from there. He does things they can't anticipate and so none of them know what's going on.
So their pre-modern worldview falls apart. They can't understand what God is doing, so in the next round they move to the modern worldview and limit their claim to knowledge to the earth itself.2
Job's wishes actually becomes the replacement to their broken worldview.

Episode 11 Eric Hoffman
Eric Hoffman is the Director of Maracatu Pacifico. Located in West Oakland California, Maracatu Pacifico is a community-based performance group that brings Afro-Brazilian maracatu music and dance from Northeastern Brazil to the San Francisco Bay area.
Maracatu Pacífico draws its inspiration from both traditional maracatu nações (especially Estrela Brilhante do Recife and Maracatu Leão Coroado), and more "modern" maracatu groups like Maracatu Badia and Maracatu Nação Pernambuco. We owe great thanks to these groups (and their mestres) for their inspiration, teaching, and example, especially Pitoco de Aira of Estrela Brilhante and Nininho of Maracatu Badia. We strive to be as respectful of this tradition as we can be, and constantly work to improve our understanding and practice.
Maracatu Pacífico was founded in late 2012 under the leadership of director Eric Hoffman, with an emphasis on community and personal development through the study of Maracatu rhythms.
He is also a long-time member of Grupo Samba Rio. You may have also seen him hanging around California Brazil Camp.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, American households typically spend around $100 per month on energy costs. They predict this figure could increase by over 100% in just two decades as energy prices keep going up. While the demand for energy keeps increasing, and the supply starts to get somewhat limited, homeowners need to be concerned about how they use energy. They need to find ways to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing their quality of life.
Based on many studies, a typical home usually consumes more energy than it really needs. By simply paying more attention to energy conservation homeowners can significantly reduce their consumption without affecting the quality of life.
Also Read: Advances in Window Technology: How can they benefit you and your home
One of the areas of the home that is notorious for energy loss is the windows. The wrong type of windows can drive energy costs higher than what they should be. By installing energy-efficient windows, you can reduce your energy consumption, lower your energy costs and help protect the environment as well.
Aside from replacing windows with energy-efficient ones, the U.S. Department of Energy also recommends using a whole-house systems approach in conserving energy. This means you can conserve energy by:
- Minimizing the use of appliances and home electronics
- Ensuring that the home is well-insulated
- Reducing the use of water heating
- Opting for natural lighting and taking advantage of daylighting
- Minimizing the use of cooling and heating equipment
- Choosing windows, doors and skylights that are energy-efficient
Windows and Energy Efficiency
When it comes to windows specifically, the easiest way to conserve energy and lower your monthly energy bills is to purchase energy-efficient windows. But, how exactly do these types of windows conserve energy?
First, energy-efficient windows reduce the amount of heat that passes through the window, especially during summer. In winter, these windows prevent heat from escaping the home, thus reducing the amount of energy that a heating system uses to keep the home warm.
Energy-efficient windows also improve the amount of light that passes through the window. With enough natural light coming in from the window during daytime, you can minimize dependence from artificial lighting, cutting back on energy use.
Lastly, energy-efficient windows actually help improve the health of inhabitants in a home by reducing moisture and condensation buildup, contributing to better indoor air quality.
Are You Losing Energy and Money Through Your Window?
Does your home really need energy-efficient windows? You do, if:
- You have high energy costs despite efforts to reduce energy consumption
- Your current windows are not sealed properly
- Air is passing through gaps between the wall and your window frame
- If there is moisture buildup between your window panes
How to Tell if a Window Is Energy-Efficient?
If you're convinced that your energy costs are higher than what they should be and that your windows are a part of the problem, then you'll need to find energy-efficient windows. However, you need to be careful when searching for these types of windows because not all energy-efficient replacements are created equal. Here are a few ways to tell if you're buying the real deal:
- Energy-efficient windows are durable and should have highly insulative frames. You'll need to check the manufacturer's label on the material to know what the frame is made of and other pertinent information about it.
- Energy-efficient windows have double pane glass to reduce the amount of heat that passes through the glass panels.
- Double-pane design is complemented by inert gas fills between the glass to further reduce the amount of heat passing through the window.
- Energy-efficient windows have a low-emissivity (low-E) coating that blocks heat from the sun but not natural light.
Window frame, glass, design, and coating all work together toward making an ideal unit. Make sure all the above features are in place to guarantee you are truly getting an energy-efficient replacement window.
Apart from the features described above, you can also ensure that the window you're buying is indeed energy-efficient if it has the ENERGY STAR® label. This signifies that a window has passed standards set jointly by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy for energy efficiency. Additionally, you can check the National Fenestration Rating Council's label to see a window's energy efficiency ratings and if they meet the recommended figures for your region.
There are many ways you can increase energy efficiency in the home, but one of the simplest, most effective moves you can make is to get new windows. To make the most of energy-efficient replacement windows, however, you have to make sure you work only with a trusted and experienced window contractor.

Vintage Rugs And Vintage Rugs
Fall in love with the character and magnificence of our antique rug assortment. Standard wisdom says that decorating a room should begin with the Oriental rug. In any case, there are infinite decisions in fabrics and paints and a properly-chosen Oriental rug will outlast most the whole lot else within the room. Nicely and high quality, and nice advice if you are starting from scratch. As a rule, nevertheless, a rug is being chosen for an current space with established coloration and magnificence—so it is crucial to hold samples with you. Taking a photograph of the rooms can also be useful. There are more colours and designs in Oriental rugs to selected from than ever before.
vintage indian rugs convey impressive ideas of sophistication and cultivation. their use of mesmerizing motifs have transcended time and site making some of the most sought after rugs out there. our assortment includes over 200 of the most rugs search distinguished and nicely preserved vintage indian rugs. from giant scale rugs that draw the attention of a whole room with their hand knotted century-outdated beauty, to serene slim rugs that graciously blend with stronger interior design components.
Like several art form the more rare the extra precious. There is another class of handmade rugs that we confer with within the industry as programmed". These are rugs that may be ordered in a variety of sizes and certain coloration ways. A few of these Oriental rugs are as well crafted and delightful because the one-of-a-type rugs. They differ mostly from the one-of-a-kind pieces of their potential long run worth and generally artistic appeal. One-of-a kind rugs whether previous or new must be the better long run investment.
Most people fairly literally "get tied up in knots" judging the quality of Oriental rugs. In over 25 years in the enterprise of buying, selling, and appraising Oriental rugs, I've counted the knots on less than one hundred of them. There are more necessary issues to judge by. The weave ought to be advantageous enough to obviously specific the motifs of the design. A daring geometric design may have less than a hundred knots per sq. inch whereas an in depth floral sample could require 300 or extra. Whereas tightness and regularity of weave are important, the quality of the wool determines the resilience and lasting patina of a rug. The quality and fastness of the dyes are also essential.
Ask questions. Any accountable Oriental rug vendor or private seller will know rugs intimately and can share their knowledge with you. They'll have the ability to inform you the place it is from, how it was made, who it was made by, and articulate the hallmarks. They understand that they need to articulate the worth of an genuine piece.
Quadrifoglio Gallery Oriental Rugs affords both antique and contemporary Oriental rugs, specializing in vintage Mohtashem Kashan rugs; antique Serapi rugs and Heriz rugs; antique Fereghan Sarouk rugs; antique Bidjar rugs; and vintage Caucasian rugs; plus new, hand woven Persian carpets that make the most of natural dyes and hand spun wool.

Earlier this year, on April 30 the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) bus lines looked approximately the same as in 1974, four decades ago. On May 1st the routes were changed as part of a system redesign. By COTA's estimate, 71% more jobs and 53% more people are now within a quarter mile of the new routes.
As suburbs across America continue to grow population and service-sector jobs become more dispersed, there is a need to re-think transportation systems. Older bus routes mean more transfers and climbing trip times, which no longer effectively serve citizens who need to get to service-sector jobs. System redesigns incorporate express routes and routes that directly connect residential areas to employment and education. The goal is to serve riders better by decreasing ride times and linking people to job hubs. Better service increases ridership and revenue.
I have experienced the improvement. I live in a suburb of Columbus and take classes at Ohio State University. There are two bus routes I take to campus. Both take 10 minutes more than driving but avoiding the hassle, expense, and liability of dealing with a car on campus makes public transportation my best option. My quickest route is the express. There are 12 strategically placed express routes in Columbus timed to come about every 15 minutes with 3 minutes transfer time. This guarantees my trip home is quick and never more than 15 minutes delayed.
A route I commonly take now gets me to campus without a transfer: the 31 winds through apartment complexes, and passes through campus. With the new system, the 31 can also take a rider to Easton shopping mall without needing a transfer. Leaving a grid system means the 31 connects people living in small apartments to campus and suburban jobs, two important destinations, without waiting for a transfer.
COTA's redesign is Ohio's most dramatic example of public transportation system over-haul, but many Ohio cities and regions are taking a new look at their system of transportation. Akron is currently working on their Driving Metro Forward Project to reevaluate and redesign the bus system. Cincinnati, facing a widening transit budget deficit, is working to change its three least productive routes.
The success of line redesigns has been demonstrated far past the Ohio border. Nationally, the most ambitious change was in Houston, Texas–America's 4th biggest city–which unveiled new routes in Spring 2015. After losing 20% of riders in 13 years Houston METRO resolved to change their system. Despite an economic downturn, two years following the change ridership increased 7% while overall Texas transit ridership fell an average of 6%. Albany, New York has had the most striking redesign success, increasing ridership 25% since 2009. They shifted from a slow dispersed system to a few concentrated expressways where buses come every 8-15 minutes. Albany also expanded "universal access" programs with universities and local businesses. Participants pay a flat rate up front then all members ride free. COTA and AkronMETRO have similar universal access relationships.
Line redesigns aren't a complete solution to public transportation's challenges but they do increase transit efficiency, thereby better serving their riders. Greater Ohio Policy Center supports transportation innovation and recently began co-facilitating the 2017 Ohio Transportation Local Leadership Academy, a series of workshops which includes representatives from Cincinnati, Akron, and other cities. The project strives to achieve vibrant regional visions through transportation.

How to Write an Amazing About Page
If there's one thing that business owners seem to get all icked out by, it's the about page. And hey! I get it! I get weirded out by writing about myself too. I won't lie.
But it's a crying shame because when you look at most websites, can you guess what the most often visited page is? If you said any other page aside from the about page, you're wrong. Sadly.
That's right. The about page is the most visited page on most sites and there are so many good reasons for this.
There are approximately 644 MILLION active websites on the internet. I'm not kidding. 644 MILLION. That's a lot. Now average internet user isn't going to see even close to that amount but they're going to see a lot. Between online shopping and late night questions on how best to reheat day old burritos, people are consuming a great deal of interwebs. And a good portion of it is probably not very human.
Which is why bloggers and small business owners are kind of a novel experience!
While we know that there are people behind websites like Amazon and WebMD, we also know that it's a fairly large machine, right? If you send an email to Amazon, you'll likely talk to multiple people and it'll be friendly but definitely more customer service like.
With bloggers and small businesses, people stand the chance of connecting with an actual human. Not just that but the human behind the writing or the products. Which gives a greater sense of connection.
And you want that sense of connection.
So how do we foster that feeling of connection and humanity?
With a brilliant about page.
About pages are the key to showing the world that you are a real person. They give the viewer a larger glimpse at who you are outside of the business you're in. They build connection.
And in case I haven't said it enough, it's all about connection, my friend.
So what exactly makes up an amazing about page?
Of course, there will be variations from person to person. And that's a great thing! Because not only do we want to foster connection, we want to be authentic to ourselves.
And yes. Authentic is probably the most over used word of 2016 but in this case you absolutely should be true to yourself. Okay?
Anyway, while there will definitely be some variations, there are some guidelines that are tried and true no matter was business you're in. Whether you're a food blogger or you sell hand crafted elephant bonnets.
Share a little bit.
About yourself, obviously. In fact, this is the place where you can talk all about your achievements. Your certifications. You can define your business' mission statement. How you got into your line of work.
Share your why; the reason you keep pushing forward in your business. Share your dreams and your heart.
And, friend, I want you to know something.
You can absolutely brag a little bit. I know we're all trained not to be braggarts but in this case, you have full permission. After all, if you don't share it, how will anyone else know to?
Share even more.
Now you've shared all about your business and your mission behind the business. Time to inject a little real life in there too!
Share a bit about who you are outside of your business. And don't be afraid to add some quirk to it! If you're a giant Marvel comics nerd, share that! If you spend all of your spare time volunteering at the disabled kitty shelter, share it!
Share the things that make you unique and set you apart.
Make it about them.
Did I just throw you for a loop? I mean, all this time I've been talking about how you need to share things about yourself! But the truth is that the best way to keep people engaged is to talk about them too!
Have you ever been out with a person that just non stop talks about themselves. It's a little, well, boring. Because we want them to acknowledge us too! Your readers feel the same way.
So when you're writing, make sure that you keep your tone conversational. Instead of writing out an essay about yourself, write it the way you would say it to someone in real life.
Beyond that, you can share how your mission is for them. If you're a food blogger, let them know you're a foodie with a passion for helping people create easy delicious meals so they can enjoy time outside of the kitchen while still nourishing their bodies. Or maybe you're a handmade business owner. Explain how your product benefits them!
Make it Visual.
Words are great. Pictures are even better.
You know that saying "a picture is worth a thousand words?" It's true. So share some photos. This helps break up the text and keeps it more engaging. It feeds our need to see lovely things.
And as always, when sharing pictures, make sure they're high quality and good representations of yourself and your brand.
Leave a Call to Action.
As you close out your about page information, leave some directions with what to do next. You can share your favorite posts or products from your site. Or maybe even your most recent opt in incentive!
The thing is that your viewer may hit the bottom of the page and not know where to go or what to do next. So don't leave them hanging!
I love including a few popular links, an opt in form and a reminder that they can reach out to me any time.
[bctt tweet="Don't leave your readers guessing where to go next! Give them a call to action in your about page!" username="erinshebish"]
So there you have it. Are you ready to spruce up your about page? Or maybe yours is already amazing! Leave me a comment and let me know!
Until next time, have a beautiful day!

Congratulations to our very own Jane Handel, who was named the NESCAC Volleyball Player of the Week last week! This is very exciting, as the competition for this honor is very tough! I don't think Middlebury has had a Player of the week for, well, too long?! Here is what the write-up said:
"Middlebury College women's volleyball player Jane Handel (Evanston, Ill.) has been named the NESCAC Player of the Week. Handel continued an impressive rookie season by having a steady week for a Panther team that went 4-0 and won the Silver Bracket of the Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament. Handel averaged 3.70 kills and 3.30 digs per set while hitting at a .366 rate to go along with five aces and a pair of blocks. The Panthers will play their final home match of the season on Wednesday, October 29th against Williams at 7:00 p.m."
Way to go Jane. As I told the team, this is an honor not only for Jane, but for the team as well, because as any good hitter knows, you have to have good defense, and a good setter to be the best hitter you can be, so way to go TEAM too!! BEAT WILLIAMS!!
Also, there are new links up for pictures, courtesy of Ellen's mom, and also Caroline Monniger, so check them out. There are some great pics! BEAT WILLIAMS!!

Dear Little One
Dear little one,
What you are doing right now...
I'm sitting here drinking tea, thinking about you. Pinterest is open and I'm mapping out your room. Etsy is live and I am tempted to purchase every beautiful, hand-made dress I see. You are so loved, little one. Daddy and I dream of these things with excitement and anticipation.
Honestly, I have insecurities about providing for you. We can't give you Disney trips every year, or lavish things that kids dream of. And I catch myself…
It's not easy to come before God and ask, am I enough?
Today, I finally quieted myself to listen for the voice of God, and ask Him for that answer.
I had an overwhelming sense of his presence saying, I am Provider.
He got me. He demolished every single fear with His affirmation. He is provider. He will provide all you will ever need. We need to not worry about tomorrow, because it is all in His mighty hands.
It is the same very truth he keeps reminding me of as we go through this process to come get you. He is Provider. He has always been provider and will always be our provider.
Little one,
May you sleep safely and soundly through the night,
May you be safe as you wake to the morning's light.
May you feel our love from so far away,
May it comfort you and protect you throughout each day.
We will pray for you little one, until our time of waiting is done.
We will pray that the Lord will keep you safe from harm,
until you, little one, the child in our hearts,
becomes the child in our arms.

It's no secret that many of us women feel as though cooking food at home would help us feel better, improve our finances, and eliminate a decent amount of during-the-week stress. We talk about it all the time - but it often feels impossible to make a reality. There are weeks and months in life where a structured routine is possible and beneficial. You can find my thoughts on that here. However, since I've been pregnant, I've had to pair down a decent amount of my rhythms, routines, and systems to the bare minimum. While odds are that you are probably not pregnant, we all have stretches of time that are busier than others when we need to switch to a lighter rhythm. Perhaps it is tax season for the accountant, baseball season for the mom of four boys, or a crazy deadline packed week. Whatever the need, here's what paired down food solving looks like for us:
1. We still use Wunderlist. This is my favorite list app for so many reasons - but the reason it makes the food cut is because Robert and I can share a list with each other and both add and complete tasks on said list. As we move through our week, we both add any staple we use the last of, or any item we notice we need.
2. We have a weekend food check-in. This is usually a five minute conversation or less while driving, while eating a meal, etc. where we plan out food for the next week. Sometimes, it's just a 5 minute dialogue I have with myself and my bullet journal when I'm planning out the week. (Beware that incorporating Pinterest extends the timeframe exponentially.) I usually ask these questions:
- What do you want for breakfast this week?
- Is there anything you do or don't want for dinner?
- Do you have any ideas?
*For Married Folks - I've been surprised by how beneficial this conversation has been. It helps to set food expectations for the week and gives Robert the opportunity to toss in ideas for things he would like to cook - or suggest creative things I would never consider on my own.
3. I still maintain basic guidelines:
- Prepared breakfast is essential. (Usually something like banana bread or muffins, but occasionally a quiche or overnight oatmeal)
- At least one dinner must include a meat that I can incorporate into my lunches for the week. (Seasoned crockpot chicken that can be added to fast tacos or salads)
- If I won't prep food in time to have leftovers for Monday's lunch, I grab lunch at the grocery while I'm there. (Sushi, adult lunchable, sub, etc.)
- We must have at least one substantial "dinner is late" snack in the house. (Cheese & Crackers, Apples & Peanut Butter)
- We still need 2-3 meals. (This week: crockpot chicken fajitas, grilled pork loin with veggies & rice)
- If I'm just cooking dinners for me, for any part of the week, I will do a second super simple meal.
4. We played around with grocery shopping rhythms until we found one that fit. Right now we grocery shop together. We almost always pop into the grocery while we are already out and about. I tackle the produce, Robert tackles the rest of the list. If we aren't done at the same time, we help the other knock out the remaining items. We are usually in and out in 15-25 minutes. Not making a separate trip out of the house, and the teamwork are two things that make this click for us right now.
5. We are always open to change. Last week, we ate a spontaneous meal at Costco and ended up freezing some meat we had purchased. We are seriously considering food shopping services for once kiddo is born. We will pop into our local bakery for a loaf of breakfast bread if we've had a busy weekend. We don't stress about needing to pick up an extra grocery item or two during the week (probably because our grocery runs are so short).
More than anything, I hope that these thoughts will help you think outside of the box about what bare-minimum food necessities and food prep look like for you and that you will give it a try!
