Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Jeremiah, Book Of:
consists of twenty-three separate and independent sections, arranged in five books. I. The introduction, (Jer 1). II. Reproofs of the sins of the Jews, consisting of seven sections, (1.) Jer 2; (2.) Jer 3-6; (3.) Jer 7-10; (4.) Jer 11-13; (5.) Jer 14- Jer 17:18; (6.) Jer 17:19-Jer 20; (7.) Jer 21-24. III. A general review of all nations, in two sections, (1.) Jer 46-49; (2.) Jer. 25; with an historical appendix of three sections, (1.) Jer 26; (2.) Jer 27; (3.) Jer 28, 29. IV. Two sections picturing the hopes of better times, (1.) Jer 30, 31; (2.) Jer 32,33; to which is added an historical appendix in three sections, (1.) Jer 34:1-7; (2.) Jer 34:8-22; (3.) Jer 35. V. The conclusion, in two sections, (1.) Jer 36; (2.) Jer 45.
In Egypt, after an interval, Jeremiah is supposed to have added three sections, viz., Jer 37-39; 40-43; and 44.
The principal Messianic prophecies are found in (Jer 23:1-8; Jer 31:31-40; and Jer 33:14-26).
Jeremiah's prophecies are noted for the frequent repetitions found in them of the same words and phrases and imagery. They cover the period of about 30 years. They are not recorded in the order of time. When and under what circumstances this book assumed its present form we know not.
The LXX. Version of this book is, in its arrangement and in other particulars, singularly at variance with the original. The LXX. omits (Jer 10:6-8; Jer 27:19-22; Jer 29:16-20; Jer 33:14-26; Jer 39:4-13; Jer 52:2,3,15,28-30, etc). About 2,700 words in all of the original are omitted. These omissions, etc., are capricious and arbitrary, and render the version unreliable.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.

The cars were both absolutely on time, clean and comfortable. The drivers were both very polite, friendly and helpful, loading the cases for us which isn't always a given. The lady at Paphos airport co-ordinating it all was also very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely use them again
Great service and wonderful staff
Easy process to get the car from the airport with a dedicated desk for the car.
Nice car with helpful driver
Same comments as previous review
Reasonable price tidy car on time drivers lovely
Reasonable cost abc would definitely use again

Even though the flight was 1hour 15 minutes late into Paphos, they still had a car and driver waiting, guess they are used to Ryanair flights been late.
Cheapest price around by far
Great service in transfer within 10mins and the driver geo was wonderful telling us about the area and what to go see and explore.
Not much more expensive than a bus transfer well worth the extra cost
Everything was nice and in time. Nice service, good price!
Everything was nice, good organisation.

Given all the other privacy controversies rocking Facebook, it should come as no surprise that the social media giant is reading your messages, too. Facebook itself confirmed this week that it scans the contents of messages sent through the Messenger platform, looking for what Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called "sensational" content.
Facebook considers the actual content of your messages private, but it does keep an eye out using automated systems to find evidence of malware or crimes like child porn.
"On Messenger, when you send a photo, our automated systems scan it using photo matching technology to detect known child exploitation imagery or when you send a link, we scan it for malware or viruses," a Facebook Messenger spokesperson said in a statement. "Facebook designed these automated tools so we can rapidly stop abusive behavior on our platform."
Facebook also recently updated its data policy to be more clear about how it gathers information. However, it could prove extremely difficult for the company to recapture public trust following the recent wave of revelations regarding how it handles our private info. In the case of scanning your messages, Facebook was quick to point out that its practices are no different from many other popular websites. But that's small comfort for users already worried about what Facebook's doing with their data.

Less Stress
Stress comes in many forms:
It means different things to different people. As a rule of thumb my personal definition is:
If it makes me happy and makes my heart sing, I do it.
If I feel a pang of 'oh no' I don't do it.
But, I do live in the real world and have first-hand experience of when even I cannot hold myself to that maxim.
We don't willingly admit to any form of stress, we say we are "OK", "fine" and other words. But we are not.
If we were fully assessed I would guess that the majority of us are chronically stressed: we are used to being stressed that our bodies don't know any different.
How we can help you:
There are many ways to relax; we guide and coach you through Professional Relaxation techniques. This allows the body to fully (physiologically relax). It does not involve a bottle of wine or a film!
- Breathing – for relaxation and to energise your body when it is feeling low
- Look at some of the reasons for being stressed – we often don't see a solution as it is usually underneath our noses!
- We make sure that your 'space' for relaxation is the best it can be.
- We help you body and mind calm down and settle
- This in itself can help you sleep much better
- Help you feel less anxious
- Helps reduce your pain

No one exercise has been proven to be superior to another. When selecting the right exercise program for you, you should do something that you enjoy! If the exercise of your choice is of moderate aerobic intensity, aim to do at least 150 minutes every week. If you prefer to do a vigorous aerobic work-out, 75 minutes per week is an appropriate goal. Consult your doctor for a more personalized exercise prescription and to evaluate your health before starting an exercise program.

In the episode, a society-wide dating system pairs up couples temporarily, then feeds each individual's reaction into an algorithm that sorts them into yet another couple. After Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) are paired together for their first trial, both characters suffer a series of loveless relationships, each one more tediously robotic than the last. There's sex, lust, and desire, but the real intimacy is in the stolen moments: hands held over the sheets, a meaningful glance across the room, a quiet conversation at twilight. "Must have been mental before the system," Amy reflects in one such scene. "People had to do the whole relationship thing themselves." In a world where complex algorithms referee hookups and dates, "Hang the DJ" tackles not just romance, but autonomy and free will. It's a celebration of love, but more importantly, the extent we will go to get it. Coupled with Brooker's impactful dialogue, Van Patten's careful direction tackles love without schmaltz, setting up for a gut-wrenching plot twist in the episode's final minutes—a typical "Black Mirror" device, wielded with maximum impact. The course of true love never did run smooth, but it sure packed a punch.

text: I am reading a book about the python programming language. the book says that there is a numeric extension to the Python language called NumPy. I googled NumPy and found a site where i could download NumPy. I downloaded the disk image, and when i went to install it the installer had two options on where to install NumPy. I have partitioned my drive in order to be able to run Windows Vista, i am pretty sure that was one of the drive's that the installer was talking about. The installer wouldn't let me install to my Hard Drive, it said something like: You cannot install numpy 1.1.0 on this volume. numpy requires System Python 2.5 to install. as far as i know i have system python 2.5. so i am wondering why i can't install NumPy? I also downloaded a .tar file from the same site, it is platform independent, i am wondering how to extract a .tar file?

I think it's beyond refute to say the U.S. has a spotty record of "success" when it comes to intervening in humanitarian crises. Intervention comes too late, haphazardly, in the wrong ways, through the wrong channels, with too little oversight, etc.
There is just such a crisis brewing now in Pakistan, where the government is in the process of asserting its authority and rooting out extremists in the region of the country which heretofore has largely existed outside its purview. Between those who were displaced amidst intense fighting last fall and those who have been displaced since the most recent round of fighting commenced two weeks ago, there are now approximately 1.5 million who have fled their homes. According to the UN, it's the largest displacement since the Rwandan genocide.
In politics, as in life, it often seems the flipside of crisis is opportunity. This is no exception. The stability of Pakistan is vital to U.S. national security interests. To that end the U.S. has already pledged aid to help displaced persons, but we need to follow that aid and not just write a check and washing our hands of it. Effectively assisting in relief efforts will provide a rare opportunity to be seen in a positive light — an unusual role for the stars and stripes in that region of the world. Does this mean, "death to America," will never be uttered again? Hardly. But under the broad umbrella of public diplomacy, this is a chance to build some modicum of goodwill (or at least a more neutral ambivalence, should "goodwill" seem to ring of pie-in-the-sky idealism).
Additionally, if executed properly, the allocation and distribution of aid could be used as a tool to help cement the relatively new political reality of civilian rule throughout the entire country. Eventually, most of these 1.5 million people will venture back to the towns from whence they came. What will they find when they get there? If the answer is total destitution and isolation with little provision of government services, we'll once again have a breeding ground for the kind of parallel state structure one sees with Hizballah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza — government ineptitude providing a vacuum for extremist organizations to fill. If, however, the civilian government is seen as capable of establishing some sort of order throughout, it will go far in debunking the cause of those who would promote a return to military rule or embrace extremist ideology in governance. Key to all of this, of course, is exercising a great deal of oversight and prodding of Pakistani leadership to utilize U.S. aid in a manner conducive to those ends (desirable for both parties, but not always self-evident in a fractious, variably corrupt, nascent democracy such as it is).

Hey Guys,
Here we are again, Meter Reading Monday. I must admit, I do like Mondays, but today is Bank Holiday and it is so boring. We are in 2013 now, we should not need Bank Holiday's any more apart from 2 days as Christmas.
Anyway back to why we are here… Gas,
The gas reading has not changed again, still 3449 and it has been like that since February, that's 7 months with no heating, gas cooker, hot water and I don't miss it at all. I enjoying the money savings too much.
Water has not changed since May. BUT, this may change next month. I may be taking part in some market research and for this I will need to use the washing machine so will be turning water on for that. Remember though, this may not happen, I have applied and just hoping I have been accepted, will find out this week.
- Rate 1 reading: 00166. Which means I have used 20 units this week costing £3.72(excluding VAT).
- Rate 2 reading: 00050. Which means I have used 6 units this week costing £0.42 (excluding VAT).
This means this week bill including VAT is £4.34
I have used 1 extra unit for rate 1 this week. Last week I used 19 units and this week I used 20. As for rate 2, used 6 units again, for the 5 week running. I do find it pretty funny how it seems to stay on 6 units, but my goal is to still get day units lower and night rate higher.
Till tomorrow for Telecom Tuesday,
Newt x

With the recent announcement of 510(k) clearance of a retinal examining attachment and companion app can we now declare the outcry against the FDA finished?

The topic of this week's post was a bit more challenging than normal. Ever since my inadvertent "reboot" of the Everyday Usability series, my brain was stuck in that frame of mind. Even today I struggled to break my mind from it.

As with all software and technology, security is, and will always remain, a hot-button topic. It is even a point of contention for computer consumers - Mac vs. PC debates often will focus on how Mac's don't "need" virus protection (which is somewhat of a misnomer, but certainly good marketing).
It has been predicted by many technology pundits that smartphones will be in everyone's hands within the next few years. Of course there will be different flavors of smartphones to adjust to different consumer ranges, but the way of the numpad flip-phones will be left to the late 90s and the 2000s.

Concussion leads to Colts running back giving up football at age 22
Indianapolis Colts running back Tyler Varga announced his retirement Tuesday, stepping away from the game of football after one season in the NFL.
Colts fans notwithstanding, the move likely did little to move the needle. An undrafted free agent out of Yale, Varga was somewhat anonymous by NFL standards -- he was said to be the last player to make the Indy roster out of training camp last season -- and was no guarantee to make the squad or see the field again this fall.
But the circumstances of Varga's sudden retirement are what make his decision so unique, and important. At age 22, Varga is moving on, not because he's worried about whether he can make it in the league, but because he's concerned about what impact continuing to play might have on his health going forward.
"For me, the risk involved in going back and possibly sustaining another bad head injury like that wasn't worth it," Varga told FOX Sports by phone Wednesday. "Obviously that risk profile is going to look different for everybody, and whether or not you have other opportunities in life is going to way in your decision. But given my situation, it wasn't right for me to go back and play."
Last season, Varga suffered a concussion while covering a kickoff during a Sept. 27 win over Tennessee Titans. Two weeks later, the Colts put Varga, who had never been diagnosed with a concussion prior to the hit, on season-ending injured reserve. Varga then spent the next several months dealing with post-concussion symptoms, which didn't fully subside until February.
Originally, Varga expressed a desire to return to the NFL this season despite the ordeal, and participated in Colts' offseason workouts. Ultimately, he decided that putting on the pads represented a chance he wasn't willing to take.
"I took my time figuring it out and figuring out, 'All right, is this a decision I want to make? Do I want to go back and play? Should I go back and play?' And for me, at the end of the day, the answer is no," Varga said. "But I definitely can say that I thought through it and played out all the different possibilities in my head. And I think I made a sound decision."
Still, that decision, which Varga said he's been mulling for months, didn't come easily. But Varga said he's positive his desire to play again isn't strong enough to make him change his mind.
"I think when you work so hard, or as hard as I have, to get to where you are and compete at such a high level, you've invested a lot to get to that point, and you want to be absolutely sure that the decision you're making or thinking about making is the right one," Varga said. "I'm also a competitor, so a little bit of that natural instinct takes over as well, but when you're making a big decision like this, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. I wanted to be absolutely sure."
To that point, Varga said returning to the team during the offseason was all part of the process. Varga said there was no particular moment or impact during workouts that changed his mind about playing; rather, he knew he needed to get on the field before he could truly decide whether leaving the game behind was the right choice.
"Obviously it wasn't a real fun time for a few months, and you just don't feel like yourself," Varga said of his initial recovery. "So it's hard to make decisions when you're in that state, but now I'm in a clearer mind.
"You get that itch, sort of, come season time, and that's going to cloud your judgment as well, so getting back out there on the field during the spring sort of allowed me to feel it," he continued. "It allowed me to think about it and make it a little bit more real to help me make a decision, and it definitely contributed to the process."
Still, Varga said he fully expects to long for the field once the season kicks off later this summer.
"Look, football has been a really big part of my life for a long time now, and I'm sure I'll miss it," Varga said. "I'm sure I'll miss competing, but I'll find other ways to compete. I have other interests outside of football and I have a great degree to fall back on. I think I'll have some opportunities in front of me that I can pursue, and I'm confident in my ability to pursue them."
As far as his post-football career is concerned, Varga isn't positive what direction he wants to take his life, but it's certain that his evolutionary biology degree from his Ivy League alma mater will go a long way toward attaining those goals.
"I'm just trying to make the best decision for my future," Varga said. "Whatever I end up doing, I want to work toward being in a team environment again, because I sort of like that. I want to be learning and continue to grow as a person and challenge myself."
At this point, Varga said he's unsure whether he'll become an public advocate for concussion safety in football, but he said he's encouraged by the steps he and other players have taken in recent years to put long-term health first.
"I think that being aware of the risks involved in playing the game is an important part of deciding to partake in football activities in the first place," Varga said. "There's a lot of great things about football, but there are also a lot of drawbacks about playing the game, and I hope that players are becoming more aware. Definitely with the media attention and movies and all that's come out recently about head injuries has shed some light on it, and I think there's probably a lot more work to be done.
"But at this point, the more information that's out there, the better it is for all of these people who are participating," Varga continued. "I think it's a positive thing that we're moving in the right direction."
And as he steps away from the game for good, Varga said he's doing so with no regrets.
"If I could do it all again, I'd do everything exactly the way I did it," Varga said. "Things don't always end the way that you want them to, but I'm proud of what I've accomplished and no one can say that it wasn't difficult to do what I did.
"Things got cut a little shorter than I expected, but that's why I took the hard road in the long run, going to Yale and getting a degree, studying hard and having a backup plan," he continued. "The plan was put in place for situations like this. I didn't want to be stuck between a rock and a hard place. I wanted to have the liberty to choose my next move, rather than feeling compelled to go back because I had no other options."
If I could do it all again, I'd do everything exactly the way I did it. Tyler Varga

Eid is just around the corner, so this week, You! talks to hair & makeup experts Fizzah Batool and Mona J for some tips to get the perfect festive look...
Dressing up for Eid is fun but when the temperatures start to soar, it can get a little tricky to look cute and feel comfy at the same time. While models on magazine covers flaunt their flawless hair and makeup for the summers, it only feels like a long lost dream for Pakistani gals to look and feel just like that - not sweating their seamless foundation or have frizzing hair. And, while there are still a couple of days left for meethi Eid, it's never too early to begin plotting and planning your warm weather hair and makeup. If you cannot decide what sort of look you want to go for and how to let it stay, than we have got just the thing. This week, You! brings you expert tips and tricks of renowned stylists for the perfect Eid look! Read on...
Go nude!
This seems like a no-brainer and something a lot of girls prefer in the hot weather, too. Even the summer royal bride, Meghan Markle, opted for a no-makeup look for her big day. According to stylist Mona J of Mona J Salon, rather than putting on a cakey foundation, keep it natural this summer. Opt for a light BB cream or a tinted moisturizer rather than a foundation.
However, if you are looking for some coverage, and are going to stay in an air-conditioned environment, you can use a moisturising foundation and set it with some loose powder. The trick is to keep your makeup to a minimum. "It's best to keep it natural because the more makeup you put on, the more it'll melt and spread.
Even setting sprays don't work that much if you're stepping out in the heat. A little bit goes a long way," says Mona.
For an overall nude, dewy look, add a little powder blush - something along the lines of a shimmery coral or rose - which will add just enough warmth without veering into too-pink territory. As for the lips, go for nude pinks or browns of your choice.
Spice and berries
When the weather warms up, our beauty looks swing towards the more natural side because it's easier. But, you could either breeze through the rest of summer with the same sheer balm and nude gloss you always wear. Or you could throw caution to the wind and try one of the super fun, super bright lipstick shades we spotted in the spring! While nudes look great on anyone and everyone, there is a certain thrill in putting on bright and peppy shades. According to Mona, all the berry shades - cherry, cranberry, and blueberry and so on - are the hottest colours to opt for your lips this season. The best way to pull off these lip stains is to pair them with the nude summer smoky eyes. Use a light shade of brown or spice brown to create a cut-crease look and pair it with a deep shade of berry lipstick. Spice browns and berry shades make a gorgeous combination!
Braid away
Even if you don't do much, getting your hair right can pull your entire look together. According to hair expert, Fizzah Batool of Numra - Makeup Studio & Salon, Lahore, loose curls and braids will look amazing with eastern clothes on Eid. "Braids can never go out of trend, but yes one has to experiment different looks before, to know what suits you more. Try curling your hair and making a braid to give it a voluminous texture and look. There are gazillions of braiding styles online so you can always make one at home. A little effort can make you look catchy this Eid. Also, hair with highlights and Balayage gives definition when braided."
Buns and roses
As the temps rise, Fizzah suggests tying up your hair to stay hassle-free and save yourself from the heat, "You can totally opt for some nape buns, man buns, or messy tied-up buns to play safe and easy. And to make it more formal, you can add in flowers (babies-breath) or a head piece. It's all about how you carry your hairstyle. Brushed off curls look gorgeous and are tending for all sorts of occasions this summer. It's a big NO to Goldilocks so refrain from neat tight curls."
For your tresses
If you are looking for a change, get a good haircut, giving your hair a fresh and healthier look, but avoid short fringes or flicks in summers. "You can opt for colour trends like sun kissed browns and hues of caramel. Don't apply henna to your hair to beat the heat as henna treated hair gets you in trouble when you go for colouring your hair. Try other home remedies that do not leave permanent colour in your hair," says Fizzah.
Summer gets you a lot of moisture and oils so we should know how much amount is the right amount. Fizzah has a few pro-tips for all the girls to keep their scalp healthy in the heat:
Oily scalp: Use conditioners or hair masks that suit your hair texture applying only on the length and ends completely avoiding the roots.
Treat dandruff & itchy scalp: Applying yogurt can ease itchy scalp and fight the warm weather. It also helps in killing bacteria that causes dandruff by adding half lemon or so.
Use of oils: Applying oils that are less greasy like coconut oil (has water-base) and olive oil as compared to mustard oil also helps.Not too tight: Don't tie your hair too tightly as it will make your follicle produce more sebum hence hair fall.
Not every day: Don't wash your hair daily, it will not solve the oily scalp problem but will make it worse. Also, don't use moisturising shampoos or conditioners; rather switch to hydrating and voluminous formulas. Use a dry shampoo to fight back the issue.

They want to kill you. There are people you can't see, establishing systems and creating plots to take your life away and make you miserable. Okay, this sounds like some paranoid fantasy—but that doesn't mean it isn't true. According to the Bible, there is an evil plot to kill every one of us. In the New Testament, the leader of this plot is called Satan, and he will not stop until every human being on the planet is destroyed, or until he himself is destroyed.
Satan has been working on this plot for many thousands of years—almost as long as there have been humans. And he has gotten very good at his work. His personal goal is to have every human destroyed. But he doesn't take the direct approach—killing them directly himself. Rather, he uses God's law to condemn people to death for their sin. But how that is done varies from person to person.
Satan and his armies—called "evil spirits" or "demons"—have developed four general strategies to destroy human beings. These strategies are so powerful and effective that Satan hasn't had to create new ones (although he does revise them from time to time). These strategies are his basic strategies of war—and it is what we need to be careful of.
1. Satanic oppression
This is a prison as a consequence of sin. It is "hell on earth", where a person's motives, desires and instincts are under Satan's control. This is not the same as "possession" (which is not a biblical term), but it is a more subtle control. The person still feels that they make their own decisions, and they do—but based on Satanic principles. To everyone else they look and act insane, but to themselves they are rational (Mark 9:17-23)
Often a person can "invite" Satanic control because it makes their lives easier. Perhaps they are tired of making decisions themselves, or they appreciate what they are offered by an evil spirit. But whatever the case, no matter how strong it is, a person can gain freedom from oppression if they devote themselves to Jesus and reject the spirits controlling them.
Some dramatic examples might be:
Possession, control of one's body; Multiple personality disorder with an evil personality; Schizophrenia, where one hears voices telling them to do clearly evil things; Drug or alcohol addiction; Epilepsy with no physical cause found; Insanity combined with irrational denial of God or Jesus
Satan often has these people reach death in a violently dramatic way—through suicides, fights, car or plane crashes, drug overdoses, or other kinds of unnatural deaths. Not all of the oppressed ones end this way, but many do.
Signs of Satanic Attack:
Do you have periods where you lose control of your body that cannot be explained medically?
Do you ever have an epileptic attack, but medicine doesn't help?
Do you often have a compulsion to obey a voice that tells you to do violent, God-hating or evil things?
2. Judgment for sin
For every person who has sinned in rebellion against God, Satan has the right to judge them for their sin. God has given to Satan the authority to attack those who have sinned (and, on occasion, to attack someone who has not sinned—see Job 1). Every sin has consequences—some of them are physical, some are spiritual, some are emotional. Satan wants to gain the most from every sin. Some sins have few or no consequences, while other sin causes misery in our lives.
Some of the misery Satan causes is:
Unreasonable guilt/self-accusation
Rejection of God
Hatred of others/bitterness.
We can die from these judgements. Sickness can cause death, at times, as can bitterness, depression or guilt. However, Satan often uses these judgements to convince the sinner that one is "separated" from God, with no opportunity for forgiveness. One the ministries Jesus came to perform is the release from these judgements of Satan, offering forgiveness for people through deliverance (Mark 2:1-12).
Signs of Satanic attack:
Do you have a misery which cause cannot be determined?
Are you isolated due to a sickness or mental illness?
Has sin caused misery in you?
3. Satanic "footholds"
Satan only comes in where he is invited. But no one has to hand the authority of themselves to Satan directly. It isn't like the movies, where we "devote ourselves to Satan" and our "souls are lost." Early in our lives we learn from our parents or friends that the ways of the world are better than the ways of God, and so we begin to explore. Thus, we quickly hand ourselves over to Satan.
There are some actions that we do, even if we only do them once, then we are in rebellion against God and his ways. There are certain keys that the satanic forces look for to entrap us—and once we are entrapped in a certain area, we are not released. We remain trapped in a sin, and we have no way within ourselves to be released from them. These keys are called in Scripture a "place" or "foothold" (Ephesians 4:27). We do not have the ability to be delivered from these sins ourselves, but God does and if we ask for deliverance, God will grant it.
The footholds we need to especially watch out for are:
Anger without reconciliation; long term anger
Acts of hostility
Experimental drug use /alcoholism
Extreme sexual deviance
Rebellion against established authority
This is especially successful against Christians. For every Christian that Satan draws into a foothold, then many more can reject the truth of the gospel, because those outside the church are convinced that "Christians are hypocrites."
The pattern of sin causes us to be judged by God on judgment. Often, because the pattern of sin is out of our control, we think that we will have no responsibility for our sin. However, we will be judged for our actions, whether we can control them or not. Satan wants us to accept our sins, not ask God for deliverance, so we can be destroyed by God (Jude 1:14-15)
Signs of Satanic attack:
Do you have an area of sin that no matter what you try, you can't get rid of?
Do your prayers to be rid of temptation seem to be unanswered?
Are you trapped in a cycle of sin?
4. Societal lies
Satan's most successful strategy has been to lie to whole societies. If a person is told a lie often enough, they soon believe it is the truth, no matter how ridiculous it first seems, or how lacking in common sense. Satan's workers spread the lies, and then humans build institutions and educational facilities that promote and create human power behind these lies. (I John 2:14-17; II Corinthians 4:4)
Some of the lies Satan perpetuates in our Western societies are:
Practical Atheism: We should act as if God has no power.
Spiritual Segregationism: We should limit 'religion' or 'spirituality' to a segment of society/personality.
Pluralism: There are many ways to spiritual truth or power.
Nihilism: There is no practical spiritual reality—or we should begin all philosophy or theology on the assumption that there is no spiritual reality.
Idolatry: We need something other than or in addition to Jesus to reach God.
Materialism: Salvation through the world, not God.
Atheism/Agnosticism: God doesn't exist, or we cannot know if he exists.
Institutionalism: God works only through a particular institution (such as a church or a government).
Satan's lie works successfully in two ways: First, everyone who lacks faith in God or Jesus cannot gain the salvation of God or Jesus. While disbelief doesn't necessarily lead to immediate death, it condemns us to death eventually. This method of Satan is most successful because so many people live happy, successful lives believing in Satan's lies. Secondly, these lies create human institutions that destroys people's lives, causing them to endure a living hell—which often causes them to reject God as well.
Signs of Satanic attack:
Do you say "yes" where God says "no"?
Do you want to explain away a good portion of the Bible?
Is God's truth ultimately a lie to you?
Don't be taken in by Satan's strategies to kill you!


text: I noticed that this album by Wet Willie is no longer available on CD. Which is a shame, cause "The Wetter The Better" is among my favorite Wet Willie albums. It was their fifth studio album, and on this record it all seems to come together. This has everything which made Wet Willie such a fun band to listen to. Still a lot of energy, but more matured than on previous records. It's got Soul and Funk but it still rocks plenty! Some great songs, like "Comic Book Hero" and "Everything That 'Cha Do", this is the album to have. For me. Baby Fat!

Publications arising from EROS - Academic
Mansell, W. (2010). Bipolar Disorders. In A. Grant & M. Townend (Eds.), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Mental Health Care (2nd Ed.). Sage Publications.
This chapter describes an integrative cognitive model (ICM) of mood swings and bipolar disorders (Mansell, Morrison, Reid, Lowens, & Tai, 2007a). It has been developed to help formulate where clients present with problematic changes in mood. Many of these clients will already have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, but the model is not restricted to people with this diagnosis. The core features of the model will be described, and the core therapeutic approach explained and illustrated using a case example. The following sections of the chapter will focus on the distinction between a cognitive model of this kind, and a fundamental theory of psychological functioning, Perceptual Control Theory (PCT; Powers, 1973; 2005). This section will explain the relationship between the cognitive model and PCT, and then use the theory to provide greater insight into the multiple self-states and self-images that seem to characterise bipolar disorders. The chapter ends with an example of how the model and theory relate to clinical practice.Back to publications list

The problemThe problem that promises set out to solve is that when you make asynchronous calls to a server where the results of one call are dependent on another call, you need to return the results in the order of your dependencies, not in the random order that will happen depending on which server call returns its results first.
ExampleSay I have a page where users can subscribe to or unsubscribe from email mailing lists and RSS feeds. The data displayed on the page is an amalgam of two different services fetching data from two different servers.
The unsubscribe action and the subscribe action both send calls to the server. As we don't know which call will return a result first, we need to run them asynchronously in the background.
This means there are six different asynchronous calls to the server (services in Angular):
- fetch list of mailing lists (HTTP GET request)
- fetch list of RSS feeds (HTTP GET request)
- subscribe to a mailing list (HTTP POST request)
- subscribe to an RSS feed (HTTP POST request)
- unsubscribe from a mailing list (HTTP POST request)
- unsubscribe from an RSS feed (HTTP POST request)
Clicking on the toggle button will send a request to the server. As the request is asynchronous, I can then click another button and send another request. The second click might happen before the first click has returned a result. I want the page to refresh each time and display my up-to-date list of subscriptions.
In order to do this, I need to use an Angular promise.
First I have function calls within my controller to each of my data fetching and sending services.
$scope.loadEmailLists = function () {Then I use a deferred promise to display the results of each of my function calls.
$scope.emailLists = [];
var myEmailLists = getEmailLists.fetch(function (emailLists) {
$scope.emailLists = emailLists;
$scope.loading = false;
$scope.loadRssFeeds = function () {
$scope.rssFeeds = [];
var myRssFeeds = getRssFeeds.fetch(function (rssFeeds) {
$scope.rssFeeds = rsFeeds;
$scope.loading = false;
var deferred = $q.defer();var promise = deferred.promise.then(loadEmailLists).then(loadRssFeeds);Don't forget to inject the $q service into your controller.

Why don't Catholics use the Bible?
The answer Father George Heyman gives on http://spiritualpilgrim.dor.org/ under Commonly Asked Questions is that many years ago, it was feared that anyones private interpretation might conflict with the churchs interpretation. Since we are a bible-based people, this changed with Vatican II and we were encouraged to use the Bible as a source of inspiration, a source of prayer, and a source of access to the world in which Jesus lived. Further, it is a source of access to Gods word for us today. We are also encouraged to find a good librarian to help us understand the many books of the bible and the complexities of ancient scripture. The church offers a scholarly community to serve as librarians: Pastors, Bible Study Leaders,Catechists, and Evangelists.
Some Christian faith traditions memorize many texts. The Catholic Church has never practiced this and perhaps we might gain something by adding this to our traditions.Regardless, we have always known that the texts are important and so we need not shy away from exploring the bible and seeking the additional wisdom our Catholic faith tradition provides.

At the center of our homestay village there was a large town hall with peeling green paint and uneven, chipped concrete steps that led up to its barn-like doors. The building was on stilts - heavy concrete columns - and weeds had overgrown the area under the building so that they tickled your feet as you walked along the edge. The hall was bordered on one side by the Wesleyan church; when the sunlight was just right, the church's garish stained glass windows cast patches of primary colored light on the thin strands of grass that attempted to cover the dirt yard. On the other side of the hall was the road that ran through the town. There wasn't a single vehicle on the small island, so the road was for pedestrians only - of the two and four-footed kind - and the worn grass had become matted in the places where feet fell most frequently.
The hall was not just at the center of the village, it was the center of the village: the single building, half the size of a basketball court, from which life in Nuapapu took shape, grew, and emerged. During the day, the women of the islands gathered to weave together, sitting cross-legged, bending their stooped shoulders over the two or three yards of wide, straw-like strips of dried plants, nimbly weaving both new mats and new stories. The mats might eventually be placed under a bridal bed, at a graveside, or rolled in the corner until needed for extra sleeping space. The stories would undoubtedly be unrolled later that day, and again the next, and the next after that. Stories, like mats, never grew old in Nuapapu. The joke you told on the day of your arrival would haunt you until the day of your departure.
At night the town hall became the haunting grounds of the village's men. They also sat cross-legged, in a rough circle, with the minister or town officer presiding as the host. Together they drink kava, a powdery Polynesian drink made from ground roots that has a mildly numbing effect, like drinking a shot of puddle water laced with Novocain. While the women weave during the day, the men work in their bush plots, planting and harvesting the root crops that provided the greatest sustenance of their diets. At the end of their work day they sleep a few hours - restless sleep under the family's mango tree or on the floor of a breezy house - and then go to the town hall, where they drank kava until the early hours of the morning. Between rounds of kava passed in polished coconut shells, the men sing traditional Tongan songs that told of the beauty of the islands, bravery in battle, and their pride for their homeland. A young Tongan man, Lomi, known as the local artist, musician, and barber, plays a scratched guitar and selected songs from a notebook where he has written the words to each tune. On alternate pages are Lomi's drawings: ink reproductions of traditional Tongan patterns, intertwined flowers and hearts, the occasional big-breasted woman.
As a woman in Tonga's conservative society, I never left the doors of my two room home after dark, unless accompanied by my husband or on a quick trip to the outhouse. But during the day I was free to roam the village, watching the children jump rope, the older boys play rugby or tease stray dogs, the men mend a boat "Almost finished, be done tomorrow," I was told during my first week in the village, and during my last).
From their perch in the town hall, the women watched all this too, and would call out to me each time I walked past. Sometimes I would climb the uneven stairs, slip my sandals off at the door, and join the women sitting cross-legged as they wove tan and darker brown strips into a new room-sized mat. Light from the uneven clapboards drew pin-stripes on the splintery floor as the women talked and worked and laughed together.
Young mothers took breaks from their work to breastfeed their children, completely unembarrassed to unbutton their faded shirts in front of others. One woman, Oleveti, would entertain us, stopping in the middle of a row of weaving to dance to the Tongan music that played on the radio. She'd encourage me to dance too, and my feeble attempts to mimic Oleveti's gracefulness would make the women double over in laughter so hard their foreheads nearly touched the wooden floor. I tried to use my new Tongan vocabulary on the weavers, and this too would make them laugh, though they would also compliment my attempts. "Poto aupito, 'Emipa. Vave aupito." Very good, Amber. Very fast.
It was here, at the center of the village, that I realized just how soft my hands were. Even in Tonga, my fingernails were white, my cuticles trimmed, and my hands uncalloused. The weavers had strong hands, roughened from the scratch of the dried plants pulled continuously through their hands as they wove. Their knuckles were raw from hand washing, in cold water and with abrasive soap, the laundry for their family of five, or eight, or ten. Their arms were tanned and strong, from carrying water, children, and laundry. They spent their days laughing and talking, but also working, harder and more physically than I have ever attempted.
Several trees were visible from the window of the little house where I stayed: a mango tree with a table and three mismatched chairs underneath, a small flowering bush, and a few others that seemed to produce no fruit or flower. One morning I awoke to find bows of white fabric tied to the tree limbs, and each bow holding several strips of a long green plant. Slowly, using gestures and the few Tongan words I knew, my homestay mother, Lolei, began to unravel the mystery of these decorations. There were lines under her eyes as she spoke, and she didn't need to tell me that this project had kept her awake all night. Though she was in her early forties, she looked much older. A lifetime of compromising sleep in order to care for her family of eight children had left her prematurely old, though still beautiful.
Hanging in the trees to dry were panderas leaves. There were tiny red cuts on Lolei's hands, damaged in the all night effort to prepare the leaves for drying. Her work had began the day before, when her oldest son, Makoni, had returned from the family's bush plot with a bundle of panderas on the back of the family's horse. Lolei and her neighbor Marieta, who was my official Tongan dance instructor, spent the night preparing the leaves by pulling out the prickly spine of the plant. I had seen this operation occurring the night before. The table under the mango tree was piled high with plant leaves, and the women moved carefully so as not to puncture their bare feet with the panderas spines.
In the South Pacific, the nighttime constellations don't do battle with city lights, and on a full moon the sky is sometimes so bright I often felt I could have read in the outhouse just by the light of the moon. Under this bright sky Lolei and Marieta had worked all night, first removing the spines and then carefully wrapping the panderas together into large, flat rolls about 14 inches in diameter.
In Lolei's kitchen, a concrete and wood shack set a few steps from the central building where the family slept, they built a fire in the elevated fireplace and carried water from a rain tank 50 yards away to fill a large metal pot whose sides were charred into a black, sooty mess. The pot of water was placed on two metal rods that were suspended above the flames, with the roll of panderas inside. As I slept peacefully in my house nearby, and as the men started their second or third round of kava and songs, Lolei and Marieta brought the water to a boil, waited until the leaves were tender, and then removed them from the pot to cool.
While the leaves cooled, Lolei took an old skirt - a cream colored brocade fabric that must have come from a church donation box - and tore it into strips two inches wide and ten inches long. With these fabric strips at her side, she carefully unfurled the panderas rolls and separated each individual leaf, covering the mango tree table with the sticky wet leaves.
Each leaf has two layers which must be separated, like pulling apart the layers of a two-ply toilet paper. With their fingernails, their teeth, and sometimes the small paring knife the women shared, they would dislodge one side from another, slowly easing the sides apart so that neither would rip. Only one side was useable for the weaving, the other was discarded in a tangled mess on the trampled ground under the table. Then the good sides were bound and hung in the trees, using a long stick to loop the fabric bow over a small branch of the tree.
The overly sweet, chlorophyll smell of the boiled leaves, along with the scraps from the discarded sides, was still noticeable in the courtyard when I leisurely roused myself from bed and saw the leaves drying in the trees. As they dried over the next few days, they began to create a gentle rustle noise when the wind brushed through them. Their presence seemed a little ghost-like, dried specters of Lolei and Marieta's hard work and bruised hands.
One day I returned from language lesson and the panderas leaves were no longer in the trees. On the table under the mango tree was a pile of rolled leaves, now dried and the color of a wheat field. The rolls were eventually moved to the house for storage, becoming a tan-colored playground for the geckos and spiders that lounged in every corner.
Lolei and Marieta's work-sharing is one of the aspects of daily life in Tonga that can quickly become so common the beauty of it is easily overlooked. Men share work in each others bush plots, making their labor merrier by the good natured joking that travels with them. When a widow needs assistance, the men work in her plot in exchange for a meal for their families, presented to them in baskets woven from the green leaves of a coconut tree. The women share household items - sending young children to the neighbor's house to retrieve the family knife or pitcher - and household work too. In the Fale Langa, the weaving house, women bring their own mats on alternate days, working on their neighbor's on Monday and their own on Tuesday.
The rolls of dried panderas leaves sit in a pile in the town hall. They're pushed aside at night when the men come to drink kava, but during the day they are moved so they are close at hand. One woman, sitting in a plastic yard chair whose legs have been cut off so that the chair's seat is directly on the ground, unrolls the leaves and takes them, one-by-one, in her hands. With a triangle shaped piece of metal, she scrapes the leaf to make it more pliable, running the triangle up and down the length of the strip several times until the leaf becomes almost soft. These leaves form a pile around her legs, and the weavers grab them, or send children to grab them, as needed.
With their own metal scrapers the weavers slice the leaves into strips. The thinner the strip, the finer the weave, the higher the value of the mat. Quick, coarse mats called papas are woven with one inch strips for every day use. Fales, room-sized mats whose edges are later trimmed with multi-colored yarn, are usually woven with strips that are a fourth or an eighth of an inch wide. Very special mats for funerals, weddings, or gifts to nobles and royalty are woven with strands that seem as thin as a hair.
The weavers sit on the floor, with their crossed legs on top of the already completed portion of the mat. Large stones from the ocean's edge weight the mat down so that it doesn't slip as the weavers move across its length. Their fingers fly deftly, lacing leaves in and out of other strips, inserting new panderas and trimming edges so the change is unnoticeable. With skill, the women insert darker colored strips of panderas, colored with all-natural dyes, and create intricate patterns along the edges of the mat. Each one is different, reflecting the patterns that woman learned from her mother or grandmother and will teach her own daughter. After school, little girls come to watch their mothers weave, making their own school-girl projects with scraps of panderas leaves while they tend their younger brothers and sisters.
There, in the center of their village, the women weave together the traditional foundation of Tongan life. These mats are a sort of currency in Tongan society, and the accumulation of them indicates wealth as surely as a large home or livestock does. When given as gifts, they are a physical reminder of the family's best wishes to the recipient, a blessing pronounced upon the bride and groom or visiting guest. The mats are also practical parts of daily Tongan life; they are rugs, beds, chairs, decorations, and clothing, and, when desperate, can be sold as a source of income.
My soft hands attempted weaving on more than one occasion, and with the help of several women I completed a kiakia, a decorative belt Tongan women wear to church or work. The pattern was simple - the first pattern a little Tongan girl would learn - but I felt proud as Lolei tied the kiakia around my waist. She was proud of me too, in a mother hen sort of way, and squeezed my hand with hers when she finished the knot. Then she smiled, turned, and entered her house. It was early in the morning and her work-worn hands had many more tasks to complete before they could rest.

OFFICIALS from the Interior and Justice ministries have distributed the first set of handbooks outlining conflict-resolution mechanisms commonly employed by indigenous groups, as part of an effort to assess how these mechanisms can fit in with the formal judicial system.
Yin Sopheap, a regional legal specialist for the UN Development Programme who was involved in researching and drafting the handbooks, said one purpose of the project was to identify instances – such as cases of rape and murder – in which traditional mechanisms such as compensation payments and traditional ceremonies should be abandoned in favour of the courts.
"Any customs that are contrary to the existing laws of the government should not be practiced by the indigenous groups," he said. "Any that is acceptable, you can keep."
The handbooks draw from information gathered in four villages in Ratanakkiri province and two in neighbouring Mondulkiri dealing with the roles of so-called "traditional authorities" in conflict-resolution processes and the rules that govern those processes. More broadly, the handbooks also cover the cultural norms and traditions of indigenous groups.
"The information is particularly important to legal practitioners working with indigenous communities and to lawmakers who draft laws and government policies so that they can take these different practices into consideration," said a UNDP statement marking a launch event held on Friday.
In addition to the two ministries, the NGO Legal Aid of Cambodia was involved in the handbook production process, which was supported by UNDP and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation.

Awesome! You can keep this lovely lady as a pet, right on your Iphone! How convenient! According to itunes preview, the point of the game is to "take care of cute girls and satisfy their 3 levels of needs." Ew.
Your new pet's needs apparently include:
"1. Make sure she eats the hamburger that she wants.
2. When she is full, have her exercise by using jump-rope to maintain her weight.
3. When she is done exercising, adjust the temperature for her shower."
Iphone apps can be created by anyone, but offensive apps are suppose to be removed. And yet this is considered acceptable? Really Apple? While it's not the most offensive app I've ever seen, (that prize goes to the one I saw a guy show off in a bar once that involved slapping a black woman's cartoonishly large ass while she screamed progressively louder and more painfully. That's a real gem.) it's always disturbing to see yet another game that's centered around controlling a woman for fun. It seems simple and innocent enough, but really has extremely patriarchal undertones. The idea of keeping a woman as a pet and caring for her as you would an animal (actually it's more similar to a tamagatchi than a real pet.. remember those things?!?) is obviously disturbing and recalls archaic gender structures, but the tasks you have to do to keep her happy really bug me out. You feed the lady a hamburger, and then help her burn it off by jump roping??! It's a hands-on approach to controlling your lady through the beauty standard. By controlling her diet and making sure it's unhealthy, and then forcing her to exercise because she's such a piglet, you make sure she feels bad enough about her body that her self-esteem is low enough to stick with your sorry ass. Classy. And the shower thing? You control her water temperature to keep her happy? Yea, ladies are really incapable of TURNING A FAUCET. My lady-brain and dainty lady-hands are simply too small for such a task!
This most disturbing line from the description:
"Her expression will change depending upon her mood and you can see her reaction to your touch."
The thought of creepers touching their girl-pets to watch her reaction is giving me the stabby gross-outs. Bleeegghhh.

The first printing of the new 6d. took place shortly after the receipt of the new 2nd Type "Crown over Q" watermarked paper, and was issued at the end of December 1879.
Many of these stamps were used for fiscal purposes. The printings were as follows:
From December 1879. It is estimated that 200,880 were issued for postal use. There would appear to have been at least two printings as the shades fall into two quite distinct groups; a Yellow-Green, which is fairly pale, and a Pale
Yellow-Green which is even paler. Some of the latter have been seen dated late 1883 and 1884.
From March 1881. It is estimated that 342,600 were issued for postal use. There were probably three printings with three fairly distinct shades of Green, and an additional slightly
Bluish Green. The latter is much less common than the other shades.

It was exactly one year ago today that this blog, under the name of How Do I Get Rich Quick (dot com) flickered to life on the web and over the course of the next 364 days it has evolved into what you're looking at right now.
I keep a timeline that shows some of the highlights from the past year, but today I'm going to dive a bit deeper and take a quick trip down memory lane to reflect on my first year as a personal finance blogger.
