Strut along Delusional St
India is in danger of confusing the desire to be 'world class' with being 'world class'india Updated: Sep 03, 2010 22:38 IST
There is a big difference between the desire to be something and actually being something. In the last decade and more, India has made much of its growing economic prowess, tangible for all to see. Without throwing figures to prove a point, more people have access to goods and services that were earlier available only to the rich, and fewer people are languishing in poverty in terms of a percentage of India's population. One can say that the country is on its way to making that much-awaited transition from being a developing nation to a developed one. But to confuse India as being on the cusp of gaining 'First World' status today is not only delusional but detrimental to the process of actually pulling the nation out of the old, rickety basket. What India is on September 4, 2010, is a developing country with 'First World' aspirations and toppings. The danger lies in thinking that having these neon-lit garnishes — wonderful and precious as they are — is enough to make the country another 'China', never mind America. It isn't.
Even if one sidesteps the real issue of 'Two Indias' — one inhabited by rich, visible and confident Indians, the other by the proverbial 'unwashed masses' yet to frolic in the effects of a 'trickle-down' effect — there is a woeful disconnect in the boom towns and metropolises that are showcases and posterboys of India 2010. In practical terms this is the difference between you inside your home and you stepping outside your house. This lack of 'continuity' between individual islands of comfort and the sea of 'Third World' 'Third World' dysfunctionality is not because of economic disparities or policies yet to kick in, but because of the sheer lack of statutory interest in prioritising basic infrastructure. So even if you are being driven around in your Mercedes, the roads are early 20th century. Services may have mushroomed, but the quality provided is still jugaad-centric.
By bypassing the Western trajectory of industrial-to-post-industrial societies that have a basic set of infrastructural (and, therefore, civic and social) template in place, the Indian model is a hodge potch quilt of shiny objects stitched to a rotting fabric. Basic urban phenomena like travelling from one point to another, civic amenities such as power and water, and services that range from garbage disposal to policing, remain ad hoc at best and dysfunctional by default. And all this without going into the regressive nightmares still prevalent outside the cities that most of us take to be the 'Indian way of life'. For a country increasingly self-aware of itself in the world, being delusional about becoming 'world class' is a joke that's stopped being funny or cute. It just propagates the notion that we can't tell the difference between a good life and a bearable one.

What do you want from your relationship with your dentist? Oftentimes, this question is answered when there is a dental problem or emergency requiring immediate attention. There is a different approach to your relationship with your dentist that relates to your own needs and dental health.
This approach is designed to help you create the kind of experiences you want with your dentist. You have a choice about this relationship and how it can support and assist you in your life. It begins with the simple question stated at the beginning of this article: What do you want from your relationship with your dentist?
The answer to this question can take many forms. For some people it may mean having a lot of information about their dental health and future. They seek facts to know they are making good, informed decisions. Others may want a friendly relationship in which openness and communication are valued.
They want information but, more importantly, they want to know they are important to the dentist and the dental team. Some individuals want minimal information and discussion -- just the facts and the solutions to take care of any problem.
We all have different wants in our relationships with health professionals such as dentists. Here are four tips to assist you in deciding what you want in your relationship with your dentist:
Each person looks for different things in their relationships. It is your responsibility to determine what you want and look for that in the relationship with your dentist. The answers to the questions above will tell you something about this.
The next step is communicating what you want so that you are understood. Only you know when someone else understands you. Here are four tips to assist you in this communication process:
Communicating what you want is important to your dentist for it is the best way for him or her to plan for the optimal dental health for you.
By Brian DesRoches, PhD
It's called sedation dentistry (performed by a specially trained dentist called a sedation dentist), and it may well be the greatest advance ever made towards truly comfortable and anxiety free dentistry procedures.
For a lot of people, the unpleasantness of a dental appointment isn't so much fear as it is stress from that "in-your-face" aspect of the procedure.
We all have our own sense of personal space. And when hands and tools enter the mouth, as they must, the feeling can get downright claustrophobic. Fortunately, there's an antidote to this problem, anxiety-free dentistry!
After an initial consultation with a sedation dentist you'll take a medication just before your next visit. You'll need a friend to help transport you to and from the office safely.
When you arrive for your appointment you'll be awake, but drowsy. Most important, you'll be relaxed and anxiety free. While you're in the chair, the sedation dentist and team monitors you closely. You won't be unconscious, you'll just enjoy a soothing mental and emotional "distance" from the goings on.
Next thing you'll know, your dentist is telling you the procedure is complete and it is time to go home - thanks to anxiety-free dentistry.

This remarkable documentary of Robert Altman and the cast and crew of SHORT CUTS on location in Southern California offers a fascinating look at Altman's process and a tapestry of perspectives from the various actors in his ensemble.
Director Robert Altman and writer Michael Tolkin mercilessly rip apart the self-important execs at major movie studios who study demographics, have story conferences, listen to writers' absurd pitches and basically create grist for the mill, and they conjure a spot-on satire in the process. Tim Robbins' appropriately-named character Griffin Mill is the kind of lowest-common-denominator advocate of whom it could be said, "If he ever had an original thought it would die of loneliness." After accidentally killing a writer who has been harassing him, Mill tries to cover his tracks but becomes mesmerized by the dead scribe's girlfriend (Greta Scacchi). Simultaneously badgered at work by another exec, Larry Levy (Peter Gallagher) who is after his job, Mill gradually, hilariously unravels. With Whoopi Goldberg, Lyle Lovett, Fred Ward, Vincent D'Onofrio.
This debut feature from writer-director (and ex-minor leaguer) Ron Shelton was ranked the No. 1 greatest sports movie of all time by Sports Illustrated. Kevin Costner is pitch-perfect as "Crash" Davis, a catcher who's devoted a dozen years to baseball with only 21 days in the majors to show for it. Assigned to mentor a promising pitcher (Tim Robbins), he must compete for the rookie's attention with Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), the team groupie who dates one player every season. As they groom the hurler for the big leagues, Crash and Annie gradually are drawn to each other.

A Universal University: Is Yoga a Religion?
May 7, 201429 Views
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Just over a year ago, Huffington Post writer, Philip Goldberg, published an article regarding a lawsuit filed in San Diego, California, which "…was filed by parents, backed by a conservative Christian organization, who claim that yoga instruction in public schools violates California law because it is a form of religious indoctrination." This is not the first article, nor the first lawsuit, to address the question: is yoga a religion, or is it religious in nature?
Goldberg's article works to represent those who believe yoga is religious in nature, and those who disagree.
"The classic texts that define the principles of yoga—the Bhaghavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Yoga Sutras—are typically considered Hindu scriptures, and for millions of Hindus, yogic ideals and practices are central to their religious lives," Goldberg explained.
However, Goldberg also stresses the point that, in contemporary society, yoga and meditation are utilized as an alternative medicine without any association with religion. Perhaps yoga began as a religious practice, but it is not necessarily religious in nature anymore.
"So, if yoga is interpreted as religious, it must be the most non-secretarial, nondenominational, trans-traditional, inter-spiritual, universal expression of religion imaginable. It would also be the least religious of religions, since it demands neither allegiance to a specific tradition, nor faith, nor the acceptance of any doctrine." Furthermore, the argument can be made thatyoga is an action, not a belief.
Yoga Journal writer, Andrea Feretti, examines the specific question as to whether or not yoga is a religion in her article "Beyond Belief."
She acknowledges almost right away, "As practitioners, we aren't required to adhere to a particular faith or obliged to observe religious rituals such as baptisms or bar mitzvahs."
According to junior philosophy and religious studies major, John Wrench, yoga is not religious.
"[It is] incredibly spiritual," Wrench said. "It's meditative so I think it's helpful in that way."
While it is true that yoga's history is rooted in religion, specifically in Buddhist tradition, there is no stipulation that it still is today. These days, physicians, therapists, and psychologists encourage yoga in an effort to promote healthy living, improved coordination, improved emotional and physical stability, and increased focus and concentration. Yoga is beneficial for everyone, regardless of whether or not you choose to connect to the activity spiritually.
Pace University offers yoga classes in Goldstein Fitness Center's aerobics room every semester. I encourage you to take advantage of them, whether to relax, to get healthy, or to focus on connecting with a higher being, whichever suits your needs best.

In 2013 I challenged myself to read 50 books. And I am very satisfied to have read 52 – that's one a week. So before I progress to my intimidating 3-point uber-challenge for 2014, I shall keep you in suspense, and first pause to glory in the full list of what has been a delightful year of reading. I didn't have my blog at the start of the year so after each book I will retrospectively rate them all on a star scale of 1 – 5, 1 being rubbish and 5 being brilliant, listed in the order in which I read them. And then a little graph interlude afterwards, where we shall lament my poor taste in choosing books… All comments and particularly recommendations based on these tastes will be most welcome!

Onwards and forwards to the books of 2014!

A collection condom is made use of to gather semen for fertility therapies or sperm Investigation. These condoms are built To maximise sperm everyday living.
Condom therapy is usually prescribed to infertile couples when the female has significant amounts of antisperm antibodies. The theory is always that protecting against exposure to her associate's semen will decrease her standard of antisperm antibodies, and so maximize her chances of pregnancy when condom therapy is discontinued. Nevertheless, condom therapy hasn't been proven to extend subsequent pregnancy rates.[65] Other takes advantage of
From no less than the 18th century, condom use was opposed in certain authorized, spiritual, and professional medical circles for effectively the exact same causes which have been offered these days: condoms reduce the chance of pregnancy, which some assumed immoral or unwanted for the country; they do not offer whole defense against sexually transmitted bacterial infections, while perception of their protecting powers was considered to stimulate sexual promiscuity; and, they are not applied continually on account of inconvenience, cost, or lack of feeling.[98]:seventy three,86–8,ninety two
For several decades, rubber condoms have been produced by wrapping strips of Uncooked rubber close to penis-shaped molds, then dipping the wrapped molds within a chemical Answer to treatment the rubber.[98]:148 In 1912, Polish inventor Julius Fromm formulated a new, enhanced production approach for condoms: dipping glass molds into a Uncooked rubber Option.[106] Referred to as cement dipping, this method required incorporating gasoline or benzene for the rubber to really make it liquid.
Be pretty careful In case you have extended nails — tearing the condom will render it ineffective.[29][thirty] You should feel it fulfill resistance eventually. That's an indication you've arrived at your cervix.[31] Be sure the condom is not twisted inside your vagina.
Hi, I'm really owning problems with condoms I've tried typical ones the durex elite types (within the purple packet) and so they no were being in close proximity to suit me In spite of forcing them on Definitely no have been near!
No means of contraception can offer 100% protection from pregnancy or transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you're concerned that you simply or your spouse could became Expecting or infected, Make contact with your doctor quickly.

Dry dusting powders are placed on latex condoms right before packaging to forestall the condom from sticking to by itself when rolled up.

Way back in October, I began making a duvet cover . I bought fabric (a lot of fabric for a lot of money) in yellows and grays to start a quilt and quickly got frustrated with the too-difficult-for-an-almost-novice pattern. Instead, I sewed the hundreds of pieces I had already cut back together to make a strip quilt. When I finally finished it about 2 months later and slipped it on the duvet, I lied to myself for a couple hours before admitting that I hated it. I didn't think much of it. Since I still liked all the individual fabrics, I figured I could just use them on a different project down the road. I also realized that I'd rather stay away from the trendiness of grey and yellow. I ran to Target to see if they were carrying any inexpensive duvet covers that might work. As luck would have it, I ran into this beauty on clearance for about $30!
While shopping, I noticed some of it was a tad redder than I had originally wanted to go with; but because I had been shopping frustrated for quite a while, I decided take the leap. When it came, It still felt a bit too red. What I didn't originally notice was the orange. Alas, I was stuck with it. That's definitely a risk you take when shopping for fabric online. As the days grew longer, so did my affection for the fabric. I love the gradient effect and I really do love the colors. For some reason, it reminds me of the friendship bracelets I used to make out of embroidery floss. Remember, Mom? Using the same method as last time, I whipped up some curtain panels. Check 'em out.
When making the purchase, I worried the fabric would be too narrow. I planned on cutting the fabric in half to make 4 panels. At 44 inches, it was a skinny mini, but I couldn't bring myself to buy double the yardage. Having to hem almost an inch on both sides, each panel ended up being just over 20 inches. After hanging them, I'm okay with the narrowness. After all, they're just there for looks. We're rocking purpose-serving cellular shades behind 'em.
I hung them using a method I found on Pinterest. Basically, I took a scrap piece of 12 x 12 card stock from my collection. From the bottom right hand corner, I cut a 3 x 3 square. From the top left corner of the small square, I measured 8 inches up (the distance I wanted the curtain rod to hang from the top of the window). From that point, I measured 9 inches to the left (the distance I wanted the curtains to hang from the left side of the window). I pierced a hole through the cardboard, held the 3 inch cut square up to the top left corner of the window, and marked a dot. For the right side of the window, I just flipped the cardstock around and repeated the process. The dots are your drill marks! It's fool-proof!
|If you look closely, you can see the marks I made at 8" up and 8 and 9" over.
So far so good, don't ya think?

I was investing a great deal of money, time, energy, emotions, resources in this team and I was getting nothing, literally, nothing in return. Nada. Zip. Zilch. 0. I relocated from NJ to LA in 2013 and the distance definitely took the edge off a bit but, it still hurt when I would tune in every Sunday to watch our beloved franchise blow it...again and again and again...This year, due to the lack of ROI over the past 10-15-20-25 years, I decided to step away from the franchise a bit, put a little distance between this team and myself, my emotions, my mind, my energy...it was time. Like an abusive relationship, like a bad friend, like a cheating wife, put some distance...finally, take back the control. I missed all of Sunday's game in its entirety for the the very first time in 10-15 years (by design) and it felt good, it felt freeing, it felt liberating. Now, I am here to discuss the "whys"...how did we get here? What made us get to this point? When and why did it get SO bad? Welp, look no further than our first round draft pick history over the past 10 years...you can start there...and that's exactly what I did...

The latest healthcare topics from a trusted, proven, and unbiased source.
Caldwell Memorial Hospital's supply chain was struggling, as many hospital operations do, with multiple stock locations, excess and often incorrect inventory, and low accountability for what was on the shelves.
So the hospital's leaders took action, and their successful initiative provides several steps that other providers may want to consider, too.
#1 Use Lean thinking
Caldwell leaders looked to their prior experience with Lean management tools to guide their efforts in the supply chain. A value stream assessment helped them pinpoint specific challenges, while data collection and analysis helped them develop a strategic plan for tackling them. This critical prep work revealed several key areas of focus: inventory visibility, demand flow optimization and management of physician preference items.
#2 Get visual
First up: inventory visibility and demand flow optimization. By introducing a new, Lean-based visual replenishment system, Caldwell gained the transparency needed to consolidate supplies, eliminate excess inventory and lower distribution costs. Plus, clinicians no longer had to spend valuable time managing supplies when they should be with patients. The combined annual savings from these initial activities totaled more than $3 million.
#3 Reign in requests
Next on the list: physician preference items. From supplies to lab resources to room and board, no two Caldwell physicians seemed to utilize assets in quite the same way. And these variations were adding up.
Digging into and analyzing resource usage data allowed Caldwell to break down the costs by clinician, case and location. This revealed just how much the inconsistency was costing the hospital — more than $4 million — and what Caldwell needed to do to convert those costs into cost-saving opportunities.
If you'd like more information on how this hospital achieved its remarkable result, please reach out to us.You can also read the full case study here.
An efficient revenue cycle has always been an important factor in the success of a healthcare organization. But in today's complex and dynamic industry, where value-based reimbursement models are becoming the norm, streamlining the flow of money from payers to providers may be more important than ever.
That streamlining is just what Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) accomplished. Faced with looming financial challenges, leaders at this Tennessee health system sought a way to reduce expenses, and withstand financial pitfalls for the long term.
By implementing a Lean revenue cycle management (RCM) process, MSHA:
How did do they do it?
MHSA leaders did it through improved communication, transparency and consistency among departments, and the adoption of Lean tools for continuous process improvement.
Since RCM affects every patient in every department, MSHA had to tear down the walls separating the front end (scheduling, registration, financial counseling), the middle (medical records, coding, billing) and the back end (claim drop, liability, accounts receivable).
Daily huddles brought staff members together to discuss key metrics and share information. Progress was tracked on daily improvement boards that were visible to anyone. And Rapid Improvement Events helped staff members get a handle on the interconnectedness of their work, which in turn helped them identify redundancies, reduce variation and waste, and create standards of work.
And the results speak for themselves.
If you'd like more information on how the health system achieved this remarkable result, please reach out to us via our value-based care resource page.
Tell us if this health system's challenge sounds familiar: CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System, located in Northeast Texas, was facing a staggering potential setback when a number of payer contracts changed. The difference amounted to a $25 million shortfall in their budget's revenue.
The system's first reaction might have been to issue an across-the-board expense reduction mandate to make up the budget difference. We all know that can happen a lot in the industry, but it doesn't always produce the results healthcare organizations need, and quality of care can be impacted.
Instead, this system chose a data-driven, strategic savings approach as the path forward, with an eye on long-term financial independence from these types of shortfalls.
A look at the targeted expenses
Using a comprehensive comparative database, the system was able to benchmark costs, productivity and resource utilization against best-in-class facilities of similar size and demographics.
Leaders identified cost improvement opportunities in areas such as supply, labor costs, length of stay and purchased services — areas where the system was not at the same level as high-performing peers in terms of expenditures.
The benchmarking information from the database was also used as a call to action for staff to find methods of improving processes and cost management. CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances leaders formed teams and assigned financial targets. Teams then used the database to answer the question, "If another health system is able to keep supply costs at this level, what can we do to bring our costs to that level with no bearing on our patient care or satisfaction?" The health system also created a dedicated project management office to help guide the process. The results of these efforts (in box below) speak for themselves.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him."
For God's own reasons (inexplicable to us) God loved the world (all creation) from the very beginning. In more scientific terms God loves all matter and whatever matter produced, developed into or evolved into, from the very beginning.
Love (God's love) was the trigger, the motivation, the catalyst for creation. Love seeks reciprocation. Inanimate, non-sentient and sentient creation reciprocate God's love be being true to their nature (e.g. a stone exists as a stone and does not try to be a plant. )
Intelligent creation (human beings) can also recognise and understand God's goodness and love and reciprocate in like manner.
From the very beginning God's motivation was, and is, the sharing of God's life, existence, being and love. This involved God's revealing Itself (demonstrating what God is like) to creation. Firstly by the work of God's hands (creation itself), secondly through the writings of Scripture (the Bible etc.) and thirdly through the Incarnation (God becoming a human being and being born, living and dying among us).
The Incarnation was not an antidote, an adjustment, a repair job necessitated by the fall of man ( Original sin). The Incarnation was part of God's plan from the very beginning (part of God's ongoing plan of self-revelation). God's plan for creation was not and never will be disrupted or put in jeopardy by anything human beings did or will do or not do.
Salvation is knowing God through God's self-revelation and responding to this knowledge in spirit and in truth. "This is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil." …… "But whoever lives the truth comes to the light."
God is light, God is truth, God is straightforwardness, God is genuine, God is authentic. Worshipping God is not about doing certain things or acting in a certain way. It is about being a certain sort of person.
"Jesus said to her. Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. … But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
That is why Jesus said; "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it."
This is about genuinely putting others first. Genuinely being compassionate. Genuinely being forgiving. Genuinely being tolerant. Genuinely being generous. It is not just about acting in a loving way but being genuinely loving. Not just about donating to the needy but believing that what is yours is only held in stewardship for helping others. Etc.
This is the cross that Jesus tells his followers they must take up. The cross is self-denial. The cross is selflessness. The cross is putting the needs and the wellbeing of others before one's own. This is what 'losing ones life' for Jesus sake means. By being genuinely
generous, putting others and their needs first, being unselfish, one is taking up one's cross and following Jesus.
Religion is worshipping God in spirit and in truth.
Religions are human organisations which seek to guide me towards worshiping God in spirit and in truth. Religions are there to constantly reminding me what worshipping God in spirit and in truth means. Religions are there to help me to worship God in spirit and in truth. Religions are there to help me to take up my cross every day and follow Jesus of Nazareth.
4th Sunday of Lent (B) 2018
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him."

When it comes to running a server, the initial setup is the most boring but the most important. You want to make sure your machine starts up and stays up while it's doing it's server duties.
In this video, we'll work with a brand new Mac mini and get it to a point where it's ready to start up and starting working with as a server. The majority of the work will be done in the System Preferences.
So, the steps are simple and probably known by most already. But, after setting up hundreds of Mac minis over the years, these are the best settings and tips we've found. All the other movies from this point will begin assuming you've set up the machine this way.
And now a link to the video: Initial Setup of a Mac Server (option+click to download)
If you have questions or comments on the video, you can send them via twitter (@macminicolo) or using our contact page.
A few years ago, I did a series of video tutorials on how to build a Mac server. These videos focused on OS X included software, free software, or very inexpensive software. We looked at tasks like setting up the server, running a website or multiple websites, running a file server, etc. This series proved to be very popular, ending with a list of 16,000 subscribers. We still receive plenty of emails both asking for further tips, or just thanking us for the videos.
I've decided to start a new series covering the same topics and some new ones. The reason is because since the last series was completed, the Mac mini has been updated in both hardware and software. Leopard changes some procedures that were show in the older videos. (which were done on Tiger.) Also, the newest hardware offers some additional options.
While these video tutorials will use a Mac mini as the server, they'll also be of use to other folks who have extra Mac hardware that they'd like to get setup as a server. The steps in the video will be very simple, and should be sufficient training for even a novice. And since we use included, free, or very inexpensive software, it shouldn't leave anyone out on price. Each post will include a link list as well.
There are a few ways to get notified when these videos are posted. You can get updates by email, subscribe to the Far Away Mac RSS Feed or follow us on Twitter where we'll tweet each time a video is posted. If you have questions or comments on the video, you can send them via twitter (@macminicolo) or using our contact page.
I'll list the videos on this post as they become available:
Initial Setup of the Mac
Connect with Screen Sharing
Enable and use SSH
Enable the Web Server
Multiple IP Addresses on One Mac
I've had people write and ask how they can see what's happening on their server. There are a lot of ways to do this, but fseventer is the best I know.
This application offers a GUI to watch all things that are changing on your Mac. It "observes filesystem changes using the same underlying API as Spotlight" so it is pretty thorough.
This is also a handy way to see what files are being changed when you run an installation or an update on your server.
The app is free…but quite forward about donations each time you quit the app. Get it here.
Whenever I set up a new Mac mini in the data center (or help someone set up their own to send in) I'll always suggest to have "Remote Login" enabled whether they regularly use SSH or not. The reason for this is it gives you a second way in if you were to lock yourself out by turning off Apple Remote Desktop or Leopard's Screen Sharing. It's easy to do.
For Apple Remote Desktop 3.2 (all one line):
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/
Contents/Resources/kickstart -configure -allowAccessFor -allUsers -privs -all
For earlier versions of Apple Remote Desktop, Apple has a nice document here.
For Leopard's Screen Sharing:
$ cd /Library/Preferences
$ echo -n enabled > com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd
(Thanks to this great hint on MacOSXHints.com.)
Computerworld has put together a short walkthrough on setting up Leopard Server with a Basic install.
"Leopard Server, the newest version of Mac OS X Server, sports many new updated features. One of the most innovative is a new interface that simplifies server setup and management. This new interface is designed primarily for small businesses or small workgroups within a larger organization that need server functionality but don't have the resources to hire a full-time systems administrator."
If this sounds like it could be of use to you, head on over for the text and photo walk through on how to get everything set up and running. You can read it here
If you're like me, you may have quite a few servers in your ARD or VNC list. This little app is a nice reference tool while you're working on different servers. Just put it in your applications folder and set it to run on startup and your IP address will be added to your menubar.
Head on over to the developer's site to download the free application.

Israeli minister warns Netanyahu of peace talk failure
Israel's Labour Party would walk out of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government if peace talks with the Palestinians do not resume by the end of the year, a senior figure in the party said today.world Updated: Oct 20, 2010 21:07 IST
Israel's Labour Party would walk out of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government if peace talks with the Palestinians do not resume by the end of the year, a senior figure in the party said on Wednesday.
"We will force the Labour Party to move out," Minorities Affairs Minister Avishay Braverman, who intends to challenge Defence Minister Ehud Barak for Labour's leadership, told Reuters.
"I will do everything I can," he said in an interview at a left-wing think tank in Paris. "I don't want to put a gun to (Netanyahu's) head, but our assessment is January if there is no movement in the peace process."
U.S.-brokered peace negotiations began on Sept. 2, but the Palestinians suspended the talks after a 10-month Israeli moratorium on housing starts in settlements in the occupied West Bank expired on Sept. 26.
Palestinians fear settlements will deny them a viable and contiguous state. Netanyahu says their future should be decided at the negotiating table and not serve as a condition for talks.
Barak, who has held extensive discussions with Washington on U.S. proposals to get negotiations under way again, has so far resisted giving Netanyahu any ultimatum on the future of centre-left Labour in his government.
Labour holds 13 of the 71 seats that Netanyahu controls in the 120-member parliament and its defection could bring down the government, led by his right-wing Likud party.
But Labour, once the dominating force in Israeli politics, is languishing in the polls, and a new election could weaken it further.
Braverman called on Netanyahu to make decisions on what was "important and not marginal", proposing a four to five month freeze on settlements with minor exceptions, supported by the Palestinians and the United States.
"The settlement freeze has become a major issue, but for me the key question is the survival of Jewish state and the equality of all its citizens," he said.
"If we don't move bravely to the partition of the Holy Land... eventually the United nations may declare one state west of the Jordan river turning Israel into a cumbersome country with an Arab majority."
In the interview, Braverman repeated his opposition to controversial legislation that would require candidates for Israel citizenship to pledge loyalty to Israel as a Jewish state, a measure Israeli Arabs have criticised as racist.
Braverman said Labour would do everything it could to oppose the law but would not bolt the coalition over the issue.
"This is a stupid law, unwise, it's very popular in public, but the role of leadership is to not look at Twitter, but what benefits the Jewish people," the former World Bank senior economist said.

Dear Bonnie,ReplyDelete
I love your blog and admire the hard work you put into it every day.
But please be careful about the Book Of Enoch.
Please read this:
Satan is always trying to manipulate us and tear us away from god.
It is not scripture and that really worries me.
Please be careful and take care.
God bless you,
Amanda, I read "Jesusissavior" just last night on this subject. Don't worry. God does not let the devil take us from him once he has us, he just leads us to answers in the most remarkable ways. God Bless you too.ReplyDelete
I did some research on the history of that book and where it came from, so not to worry. ♥

Bonnie, beautiful soothing Blog & Videos today on Michael's spirituality. Michael was really crucified by our evil world. Satan & his fallen angels were always fascinated by beauty & purity which they attempted to re-mould according to their evil concept. With Michael it did not work therefore he paid a far too high price for his integrity & faith. Your yesterday's paras on Nikola Tesla once more & also Phil Schneider upset me too although the subject issue was different but anyhow people of great spiritual, artistical or scientific value like Michael or Nikola Tesla & others mostly end up destroyed by evil forces : quite challenging for our faith at times !ReplyDelete
I do not follow the young Justin Bieber as an artist but he seems not to be afraid either to show his faith :
Hi Line, Thank you for the comments on the videos. I love that song "on the line", man! I still can't get over sometimes how smart he is. Stealth intelligence and the more I learn, the more I realize the timing of Michael being here was purposeful in itself. The only thing that worries me (even though I should not worry) is what is going to happen, and how long it will take. (pretty much sums up everything, LOL)ReplyDelete
The subject of Schneider, Tesla and Fulford was a topic of conversation between my mother and I that turned interesting. Aliens/angels/fallen angels . . . WHAT ARE THEY? And are they real or hoax? I couldn't get her off the phone to work. When you get into that subject and try to harness it in a scientific explanation of angels, to me it kind of "dumbs down" God and his existence. I don't like the topic, but eventually it will be important to remember.
Beiber. I have never even heard him sing but I have read both positive and negative about the use of him in the music industry. I pray he stays safe.
I am in no doubt that Michael Jackson is not God and not Jesus. As for an archangel, who knows. But I wanted to know what your take is on God's army. Do you think of yourself and others on this blog as the army? Could we be an army of Good/God? If not, then WHO is Michael going to lead? The fans are his followers, not random people who happen to be churchgoers. Michael doesn't have an army of men anyway, his army is mainly women! So the images in the videos can't be literal.
I also cannot believe that I may be part of such an army! I, who always finds out about things WAAAY after everyone else! No, in my experience archangel Michael would turn out to be Jimmy Osmond, or Cliff Richard, and I would be left standing thinking 'Really? Him?'
Hi Princess - God's army. You had me laughing out loud on Jimmy Osmond and Cliff Richard, LOL! Even if it were Michael, there would still probably be people saying the same thing, ("Really? Him?!!)ReplyDelete
God's army would consist of more than just women and you have to remember, the dead in Christ will rise first. That's a lot of people.
In the later days, knowledge will increase and eyes will be opened. So let's see what happens. :o)
Thank you, Bonnie for that informative piece! I have learned so much from you. Like they say, 'Knowledge is power!' Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Hi Bonnie!ReplyDelete
Happy Epiphany!
Eyes will be opened indeed!
Someone with 25 years of service told me about the military underground cities and how some of the ufo's that have been spotted are actually governmental experiments. Technology that has been kept secret. I wonder why certain things are leaked. Is it to help us prepare or is it misinformation?
I really enjoyed reading today's blog as I have been learning about the scriptures pertaining to the end-times for many years. I have also researched the history of the Jehovah's Witnesses, my sister-in-law is one and I spent a year in a Bible study with Seventh Day Adventists. Thanks for clearly explaining their beliefs about who Jesus is.
I could hardly finish reading this blog without
feeling renewed hope. Last night I had a dream about being a part of an army. We were confronting the the evil army. Our weapon was prayer in the Spirit or prayer in tongues. Our hands were extended as we prayed and the only time the evil army could advance was when someone stopped praying. It was a very intense dream. I woke up before the battle ended.
I will try my best to follow the words of the song you posted and not waste my time on the past any longer. I will look to the future like Michael sings and remember that the dead in Christ will rise first and I will see Jesus, my son Marlon again and I will see Michael Jackson and the angels too.
I appreciate your hard work and thanks to Micheline as well.

Michael is as close to an Angel as human being can be. Is he literally an Angel? Do Angels really exist? Who are they? No idea. But if they are anything like Michael, they are wonderful ;)ReplyDelete
Anyway, I'm one of the "nuts" who saw UFO. I wasn't
alone that night and it was clearly some insane flying object, not a cloud or any other usual explanation.
We were far from big cities, so secret military bases could be around, why not.
Oh, I'm not in US. So if it's man-made stuff, wow, my army can do that? Unlikely it was American stuff flying here ;) Army people I talked to admit UFOs exist, also they admit they used to suspect US army... and US army used to suspect ours : )) So maybe there is army within an army, secret army usual army people are not aware of? Hmm. Why not! Often
"usual" army people are protecting they don't know what, they are told to protect the area and that's all.
Or these really were aliens, which is possible as well. All I know - UFOs are real and they fly in a way we officially can't [especially if that object had a living pilot inside!].
Actually it scares me that humans can have such hidden technology, no way it's used for good purpose.
Hi TrueJustice - I'm only pulling off of research other people have done and trying to connect the dots between pieces of info. All I can really be credited for is putting all in one place and writing the occasional poem. :o)ReplyDelete
Hi Trinia - Happy Epiphany? That should be a holiday :o) Good question on the "help us out" vs. "misinformation". As many times as I've read the Gospels with Jesus talking to his disciples and this is the first time I really saw this in the verse -
Matthew 24: 24-26
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25Behold, I have told you before.
26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
"Secret Chambers"? Jesus knew about the underground bases and "secret" places us U.S. people don't know about.
Your dream sounds like the story of Jericho, without the trumpets ♥
Hi Anonymous - Is Michael really an angel? I have no idea either. But I get his message about the armies in his films/TII. Are there really angels? Yes. Who are they? Never shook hands with one, so I don't know that either. I got a kiss by one but I couldn't see it. Are there any female angels? I've always wanted to know.
You're not nuts. When I was a teen, my mother was driving my sister, myself and my friend Denise to vocal lessons. Mom alternated which parent drove because it was so far away from where we lived (Eastern Shore, out near Hurlock, Maryland). My mother saw something in the sky and we were all watching it. She missed a turn someplace and got lost (this is farm country or it used to be until you got to down). She couldn't figure out where we were and by the time we made it back to the main road our hour was almost up (our vocal teacher was ticked!)
I've never seen one up close and never saw anything unusual other than a shooting star, but that night this thing moved so fast and maneuvered like a fly! Never saw any aircraft do that and it was low enough to see that it wasn't your usual plane.
You're right. Tesla was a good example of that. They courted this guy long enough to steal what he was working on. TESLA wanted to use it for good, but they've weaponized quite a few of his inventions and discoveries (if they are really inventions and not technology already in play).
Anonymous - I took the link down. I have no idea who wrote this, but they are writing as God. I stopped reading when I got to where it reads a name of an angel who impregnated Mary. I can learn about Enoch by reading Enoch and the Bible.ReplyDelete

It could be kiss from Michael you received that day... sorry, I'm a bit pessimistic today.ReplyDelete
The web was too tight around him.
I wonder how do people divide "saint", "angelic", "he is Jesus!" and "just a regular guy".
I know Jesus was a human, he was getting mad, he was getting scared and upset just like
any other human. He was getting hungry and so on.
I'm sure he said some angry words many times, we'll never know for sure if he ever kissed
a woman in a way man not Savior does. Such information could be deleted intentionally,
to keep the image so saint and clean and unachievable. But would it make him less Jesus?
I don't think so, even very holy soul locked in a human body gets all human weakness
as a "bonus".
So I can see why these crying girls were wondering if Michael is Jesus :) They felt this way,
Michael actually showed us how Jesus was making people feel about him. And the end was
so similar for both of them - humans are incapable of treating good ones with nothing but
goodness and love. They happily treat them with hate, angst, even rage and, of course,
greed ruled majority around him. Greed for money, fame, power. Michael did nothing
bad to anyone [ if we forget cake in the face and water balloon fights :) ] and only
advocated Love, equality, non-judgmental thinking.
You are right, they could kill Michael many times before June 25, and I wonder if
they kept him going because future profit was alluring enough or because there was
some sort of suspicion of religious nature, that they wanted him for something else.
Who knows! Michael did probably.
Female Angels? I thought they have no sex :) Bible was written by human males,
this explains a lot to me. They were writing it down in a way they "got" what
they heard. No way {especially thousands years ago, actually even to
these days} the fact such divinity can be "female" would be accepted in
patriarchal community.
Actually that universal Love for children and different life forms seems so
feminine to me. That's why many males dislike Michael.
In this harsh reality such wonderful qualities are seen as "weakness" and
"way to lose" :( "Loser" qualities you know.
How sad we are. For some reason I believed in XXI century we'll be above that.

ArcelorMittal best partner for Essar Steel, says Malay Mukherjee
Malay Mukherjee had a nearly two-decade stint at ArcelorMittal, where he was often called Lakshmi Mittal's right-hand man. Later, the steel industry veteran served as the CEO of Essar Steel for two years.
Now a global consultant, Mukherjee says that the Indian steel industry has suffered because many promoters think only about themselves. That is why, adds Mukherjee in an interview with Moneycontrol, the sale of stressed assets is a great opportunity to strike a balance and ensure that the Indian steel industry fulfills its promise.date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(1*24*60*60*1000)); $.cookie("dfp_cookie_article", "Y1", {expires: date,path:"/",domain: ".moneycontrol.com"});
With an insider's knowledge of Essar Steel, Mukherjee has no doubt who is the best fit to buy the stressed steel company, and that is ArcelorMittal. Excerpts...date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime()+(1*24*60*60*1000)); $.cookie("dfp_cookie_article", "Y1", {expires: date,path:"/",domain: ".moneycontrol.com"});

PSU banks must see reforms at institutional level; insolvency resolution must be quicker: HSBC corporate head
The Indian steel industry at present is engrossed in the sale of stressed assets, some of which have got global attention. How do you see this phase?
I certainly believe that it is a good thing for the Indian steel industry. We are far from exploiting the total potential of the industry, especially if we have to cater to the increasing demand. Even now our per capita consumption of steel is about 80 kg, way below the world average, or China's.
To reach these targets we must have a balanced steel manufacturing industry.
Unfortunately, what has happened is that some promoters have not applied financials controls, were over-leveraged and created a pretty unfavourable judgement of the Indian steel industry, vis-à-vis the global market. Many of the promoters think only about themselves.
This step is in the right direction, to increase transparency and finding the right investor who has professional and technical expertise in running the companies, in keeping view interests of all the stakeholders.
You mentioned that we need to have a balanced steel manufacturing industry. What does that mean?
For balance in the steel industry, we need a level playing field – in access to infrastructure, raw materials. And this should be done in a manner where we don』t promote one company, and create inefficiency in another. For instance, there can't be a structure where someone who didn』t have capital to buy a mine, is now barred from buying iron ore for ever.
Talking about promoters, many of them blame the steel cycle for the distress.
But the steel business is such that you have to contend with the business cycle. You can』t really blame the cycle when others have been able to manage.
I went to a few of the stressed assets being auctioned. If the total capital is USD 100, promoters have spent USD 95 in assets and just USD 5 in building the infrastructure to support the assets. That is a wrong way to allocate capital.
In one of the plants, the promoter wanted to bring the raw material by road. Now instead of spending money on building roads, he could have built a rail network.
In another plant, there was no proper infrastructure to handle raw materials, which is 65 percent of the total costs.
Basically, many of these promoters thought steel is a money making machine. They had no expertise.
Some of the stressed assets have seen intense competition. Tata Steel's bid for Bhushan Steel is deemed high. What is your observation?
Tata Steel's bid for Bhushan Steel may look like a over-bid at the first glance. But then the Tatas have certain basic advantage over other companies. They have access to captive mines, and in Odisha – where they already have a facility – they can create a major hub. (Bhushan Steel also has facilities in Odisha).
So the capital spend will be compensated by lower operating costs. Tata Steel has the bandwidth to tune the operations and make marketing more structured.
If it was any other company that has bid so high, then the analysis would have been different.
Do you think JSW Steel could have been more aggressive (Mukherjee is an independent director at the company)?
In JSW Steel's case, they have always been building assets. They are very good in building world class assets at lower costs. So they are not going to pay extra to buy an asset. It is a choice.
Coming to Essar Steel's auction, ArcelorMittal, which is one of the bidders, has highlighted its global experience in turning around operations. Given your experience at the company, could you give an insight into this?
From a historical point of view, ArcelorMittal took over plant facilities that were owned by Governments, and turned them around. This was the model in Trinidad, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and even in developed markets like Germany.
The turnaround was operational – increase capacity and bring down costs.
Later on, ArcelorMittal's strategy was to make the best product in steel, in addition to turning around operations. This was the case in the US.
Overall, ArcelorMittal's turnaround strategy has been about operations, financial discipline and products. It also helps that they have the world's largest R&D facility for a steel company.
If you have all this, then it's a no-brainer that the best partner for Essar Steel is ArcelorMittal.
You were Essar Steel CEO. How do you assess the asset?Essar Steel is a wonderful asset. There is the dependence on gas, but with another blast furnace that can decrease.
