7 Church Types, 1of3
~ Three Early Christian Churches ~
The Seven Churches of Revelation 2-3 outline the sequential history of the Christian Church from its beginning until the Second Coming of Christ. This post considers the first three churches described in chapter 2. In the next post we consider the final four types of churches. All dates are approximate.
The Church In Ephesus (Pentecost—a.d. 100) ~ Ephesus was the apostolic church. Jesus said, "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, 'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place — unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans [the rulers of the day], which I also hate. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God'" (Revelation 2:1-7).
Ephesus was the church in early purity, it was the desired one, but while it did good works it did not prioritize a key mark of a true Christian church—love! What a warning to all of Christ's followers. They had lost their intense enthusiasm which once characterized their love for God. Our first priority must be love. While on earth Jesus told His disciples, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:34-35).
The Church In Smyrna (a.d. 100—a.d. 314) ~ Smyrna was the martyr church—there were around five million believers martyred for the name of Christ during this period. Jesus said, "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, 'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death'" (Revelation 2:8-11).
Smyrna was a church suffering persecution, like crushed myrrh (myrrh means suffering and the city name is derived from myrrh). Another characteristic of the true and faithful church is patient enduring during times of suffering.
The Church In Pergamos (a.d. 314— a.d. 590) ~ Jesus spoke in regard to the believers in Pergamos, "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it'" (Revelation 2:12-17).
Pergamos was an intellectual church—boasting a library of over two hundred thousand volumes, but Pergamos was also a church united with the world—spiritually adulterous! Pergamos was a church that had risen to heights but slowly became a compromising church. They had returned to ritualism, clergy dominance, and they ignored the priesthood of all believers. Pergamos contrasted with the pure church in which our God desires no compromise with the truth as found in the Word of God.
May we heed our Lord's warnings as given to these three types of churches.

Our Customers Tell Our Story
We all know what it feels like to experience great service. Whether you are dining out with family, enjoying a special tour, or got a sharp haircut, each of those experiences is better if we come away with a lasting impression of genuine care. In exceptional cases, we share our experiences with others. That basic concept is what built our reputation and our Company. We work hard to earn the kind words and recommendations of our customers. We always will.
"During Operation Pacific Horizons, the Pacific Tug team assigned to the USNS DAHL was part of the impression given out of not just the Navy but also the Marine Corps, Military Sealift Command and the Vessel during a variety of tours given to various VIP's. Your crews stepped up and did what was needed for us to succeed…the deck crew was professional and the drivers never scratched the paint. The positive impact they had on several visiting command's perception of events was priceless as the entire boat team was outstanding…"
The Crew displayed exemplary competence in their duties and were always aware that we were in the care of consummate professionals. Even in an unfamiliar environment we never ha concerns regarding our safety or for the condition of our assets, whether we were dockside or at sea. Moreover, there was never a moment that we didn't feel like guests instead of customers…"
Captain Harry Bolton
"In many years of travelling to different ports around the world, we have have used countless numbers of launches to ferry the crews and military personnel to and from the ship. The launch service provided by Pacific Tugboat Service was the best, most professional service we have ever encountered.
The Captains and crew provided first class service from start to finish. They went far beyond the norm when it came to handling passengers, crew and military personnel changes, baggage, stores and trash. They safely and expeditiously made many heavy lifts with the crane wire change outs and engine room parts and spares. The Captains were very skilled in handling the launch and the crews were very conscious of safely handling passengers. Given the amount of passengers and lifts, they always maintained their schedule, which is really quite remarkable.
The launch boat performed flawlessly. The launch was in fantastic material condition. It has been essentially rebuilt inside and out…the crane saved us tens of thousands of dollars… The trash removal was always handled quickly and efficiently. Big kudos to for this less than glamorous task.
From myself and the crew of the Lopez, please extend a big thank you and well done."
Travis Saam
"Appreciation from Travis Saam of NASSCO for our work on the discharge of the M/V Melbourne Spirit. PTS provided tug service and barge rental to support the offloading and delivery of hatch covers and lashing bridges for a ship being constructed at NASSCO."
Ken Leslie
"On behalf of the Vallejo Yacht Club, I would like to express our grateful appreciation for your generous sponsorship of the 2019 Great Vallejo Race.
The members of the Vallejo Yacht Club take great pride in hosting this annual event, one of the oldest inland regattas in the U.S. and we happily put in hundreds of volunteer hours to provide a memorable experience for all racers.
The visible presence of your sponsorship on 2019 Great Vallejo Race t-shirts, tote bags, banners, and advertisements will encourage participants to patronize your business.
It is our hope that you will continue your valuable and generous sponsorship of the Great Vallejo Race in the coming years."
Pacific Dredging did a terrific job dredging our 47 boat slip Portofino Cove Marina in Huntington Beach California. They were professional and efficient. The crew kept our docks clean and damage free during the one month dredging project. They came in on budget and on time. Highly recommend Pacific Dredging.
Portofino Yacht HOA President
Santa Barbara Harbor Commission
…"Due to your leadership and your company's professionalism, Santa Barbara Harbor remains open to vessels ranging from U.S. Coast Guard cutters to deep-draft sailboats, tour boats, commercial fishing boats and more, all of which support our working harbor and local economy. We look forward to sharing what we learned on the tour with our Harbor Commission colleagues and interested members of the public."

Our two orchestras performed in the Region Orchestra Festival yesterday at Salem Hills High School.
The Concert Orchestra played well and received three scores: One Superior (I-) and Two Excellent (II+, II+). The Chamber Orchestra also played very well and received three superior ratings (I, I, I), which qualifies them for state. The judges complimented them highly-one saying that if he were allowed to do so, he would have given them a I+ (a "I" is the highest score possible). The second judge said it was a "stellar" performance from start to finish, and the third described it with "Bravo!"
The students have worked very hard, and I'm very, very proud of them. As we all know, we have great students at MMHS, and I'm grateful I have the opportunity to work with the orchestra students. They are truly awesome people.Thank you for your support of these kids and our orchestra program!

Cost Benefits of an Improved Credit Score
Better Credit Means Better Rates
An individual with a credit score in the range of 620-639 can expect to pay, on average, more than a full percentage point higher on their APR rate when compared to an individual with a credit rating above 760. A single percentage point may not sound like a ton, but on a $200,000 mortgage, this amounts to an additional cost of over $40,000 over the life of the loan. Even if you are able to lower your APR rate by .2%, this could amount to a savings of more than $8000 on a $200,000 mortgage.
Paying an extra $40,000 for anything is a lot of money. Comparatively, improving your credit score is inexpensive and involves a small amount of work and responsibility. Loan One, a division of The Union Bank Company, will even provide up to a $650 Closing Cost Credit to go through a program to improve your credit, which offers additional benefits beyond cost savings on your mortgage.

Your Turn: Nov. 15
Flawed system
Your Sunday editorial deploring attorneys' political contributions to judges as "tainting the system" ignores the much more important fact that "the system" itself is fundamentally flawed.
Electing judges — who are expected to be completely nonpartisan — on the same enthusiastically partisan basis as legislative and executive branch officials is guaranteed to raise questions about the fairness of the "system" when attorneys contribute to judicial campaigns.
Why do attorneys exercise their First Amendment right to contribute to judicial campaigns? Think about it: If NFL referees or major league umpires were elected the same way, who would contribute to their campaigns? Franchise owners and players would be first in line. Why? First of all, because they would be the voters who actually know which ones are the best qualified and the most impartial. Would some also hope to cultivate favor, or at least avoid comparative disfavor, by contributing? Perhaps. And would that hope be justified? Perhaps, unfortunately, in some instances.
In every general election cycle, attorneys talk to other attorneys to compare notes and seek informed opinions about which judicial candidates to vote for, and why. Attorneys whose practices seldom involve trying cases seek informed opinions from attorneys who do; and attorneys who don't do appellate work inquire of others who do. And all attorneys, regardless of political party affiliation, fear "wave" elections in which top-of-the-ticket races for legislative and executive offices result in heavy, highly partisan voting that mindlessly sweeps out incumbent judges and sweeps in their replacements — regardless of qualifications in either case.
In short, judicial qualifications and judicial impartiality are not best evaluated through the same spend-and-elect, free-for-all, partisan-ballot system by which we choose legislators, governors and presidents.
Your editorial premise that "the system" of electing judges is tainted because attorneys contribute to judicial campaigns suggests that they should be barred from exercising that constitutional right and, more importantly, overlooks the fundamental inconsistency of choosing nonpartisan judges through a highly partisan process. That's the real problem.
John E. Clark
Saved his life
I would like to express my thanks to the numerous individuals responsible for my survival when my vehicle caught fire and burned on I-35 near the downtown campus of UTSA on Nov. 9.
This includes the many passing drivers who gave me warning and granted me right of-way as I lost power and worked to steer my vehicle out of traffic.
Special thanks go to Marine Sgt. Don Crain, his wife, Catherine, and Don's father, who were visiting San Antonio. Assisted by an African-American gentleman whose name I do not know, they cut my seat belt and pulled me through the driver-side window seconds before flames engulfed the car. Because Catherine contacted my wife, I was able to thank her family personally.
I hope someone who reads this will convey my gratitude to the other gentleman. Fire and EMT personnel and police officers, including Officer Finley, who also called my wife, were quick to respond. Because of all these people, I returned home with only bruises.
My thanks go to these unselfish individuals and the professional public servants who protect our residents every day.

Re: "California guman goes on rampage," front page, Friday:
Mass shootings have become so common that they have been replaced to the second story under sex abuse at schools.
Ellen ONeal, Helotes
It is unfortunate that some of your readers, some Americans, and even our president, seem unable to understand the most basic principles of our Constitution and the most fundamental values upon which America was built.
The United States was built by foreigners as everyone of the founders came from a foreign country themselves or their ancestors a few generations previous. And today foreigners still contribute significantly to America's development. And the United States has offered sanctuary to those fleeing persecution in other countries.
Xenophobic policies, practices and statements, by our president or our neighbors, hurt America. They show that we are unable to stand by our Constitution in a contemporary world. They show that we are unwilling or unable to uphold the values upon which the United States of America was founded.
A strong America must be built on fair cooperation with others to make the world a more equitable and fair place to live. It must be based on protecting those fleeing from persecution and welcoming those who want to contribute to America.
Let's hope Americans will reflect upon, speak about and act on these sentiments that underlie our Constitution and reflect the values upon which America is founded.

Good advice
Re: "Whitaker said judges should heed the Bible," front page, Saturday:
I read this article with interest. Heed the Bible? This is excellent advice for acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to give to his boss, our president.

Good reading
Whether or not you enjoy reading history, Tim Gautreaux's novel, "The Missing," will tell you more about the Great War than you ever expected to learn.
The main character arrives in France on Nov. 11, 1918, to be assigned the job of ordnance disposal in war-torn France. Monsieur Gautreaux shows his protagonist facing terrible situations after the war and doing his best to behave as a Christian.
One can learn a great deal about excellent writing — and about life — while reading the author's three novels and three short-story collections.

What would you have to give up in order to have what you want?
Most of us have dreams, but why is it that so few actually achieve them? Without realizing it, many of us underestimate the effort it takes to get to a big goal. As a result, it can be really easy to have an expectation that starting that business, writing that book, getting out of debt, or losing those pounds should unfold more easily than it actually will. Then when months or even years pass and we don't see progress, we can become disappointed.
When I am moving towards a big goal like writing a book, I have to give up social time. I don't like it. I feel like I'm missing out. But it is a sacrifice that has to be made for a period of time in order to focus. The same can be said of saving money or losing weight. Even if your big goal is about finding a healthy and happy relationship, you may have to give up some old habits that are not so happy and healthy.
There is a critical powerful question that you must ask when you want to reach a big goal. I invite you to bring to mind your biggest goal. Perhaps one that you are frustrated has not come to pass yet, and answer this powerful question:
What will you have to give up in order to have what you want?
Whatever your answer to the question, keep in mind that you may not have to give it up forever, but be disciplined enough to give it up until you can get to your desired goal. If you set that expectation, you may be surprised at how inspired and motivated you are to do whatever it takes to get there.

When my teacher wrote me a report saying that I'd never make anything of my life, I vowed that one day I would make him eat his words.
I finally had that opportunity last week and I kept my teenage promise. I have to confess that it left me feeling a little hollow though; something about a 47 year-old-man force feeding paper to a man in the final stages of lung cancer whilst he lay in his hospice bed seemed somehow to strip us both of our dignity.

under pressure
My favorite youtube video for today is this emotional one called "homeless man under pressure". It shows an obviously homeless man performing the wonderful song "under pressure" by Queen featuring David Bowie with two Kermit the frog puppets. The sign next to him says:
family in need with 2 kids. homeless and out of work. anything helps. thank you!
I already wrote about the inspiring movie "the soloist" here about a homeless musician on the streets of L.A. It was real touching and brought to me a glimpse of the torment and suffering of homeless people in our cities. The details in this video are leading to a real great site were you can learn about helping the homeless for free. The author Kylyssa collected some great ideas such as helping homeless people fill out job applications and resumes or donate labor at homeless charities or to join programs to teach homeless people how to read and write.
I think this is an great approach in giving and sharing and I will definitely search projects here in Hamburg and also in Brazil where huge parts of my heart a closely linked to the suffering of the people on the streets of the favelas. I think we all should spend some of our time for projects like these since we're too quick in walking by the signs of homeless people in our streets.
Under pressure – that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out

After finishing out her boxing year in 'Grand Style' on December 8, 2018, 'The First Lady' Cecilia Braekhus travelled to Uganda to open the 'First Lady Primary School, a high school located just outside the capital city of Uganda.
Braekhus has been working on the project for three years with 'Bring Children From the Streets', a Norwegian/Ugandan group headed by Richard Kiwanuka. The Opening Ceremonies took place this past Sunday, December 16.
"It's a high school for both girls and boys. It is located a little outside the capital, in a safe and idyllic setting. It is intended for children from the slums in Kampala, who get an opportunity for an education, as well as some children from other areas."
"When I leave Uganda, the school will still be there. And the past experience is that those who educate and move on and graduate, come back and help those who are in need. So it will be a positive circle. It's a wonderful process to participate."
"The new buildings are stunningly beautiful. It's been all we dreamed that it would be."
Braekhus improved to 35-0 defending all of her undisputed titles (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF, IBO and Ring Magazine) on Saturday, December 8, 2018 with a dominant ten-round decision over world ranked contender Aleksandra Madgziak-Lopes at the Stubhub Center in Carson, CA.
The victory headlined the final HBO Boxing telecast marking Braekhus' second appearance on the premium cable channel in 2018 and capping off a remarkable year filled with tremendous performances inside the ring and a wealth of accolades outside.

May 12, 2012 WHALE WATCH..what a day!
What a fun whale watch on Saturday! This was our first weekend whale watch this season and it was spectacular! The weather was perfect for early May and made for a wonderful Mother's day weekend.
It was great to have the Miss Cape Ann out on the water again. Capt. Mark was on board with first mate Ray, our resident photographer extraordinaire. See some of his unbelievable photos of whales below and on our facebook page. Beth, our Whale Center of New England trained naturalist, was also on board. She recently returned from her winter in St. Augustine, FL, where she performed aerial right whale studies along with fellow naturalist, Orla. We are so excited to have them back this season. Be sure to ask them about their winter adventures and research. We also have a new summer intern, Abbie, a student at North Eastern University, who will be assisting our naturalists recording whale behavior. Welcome Abbie!
Saturdays whale watch also brought out some other familiar faces. Hip Hip hooray….Mason was on board! As well as some of our other regulars, Deb and Cliff who traveled from New York. This just goes to show you once your come out with us, you are like family. You will want to, and many do, keep coming back for more and more whales!
The photos speak for themselves but here is a recap of what we saw: At least 15 humpbacks, with 6 ID'd. They were Tongs, Falcon, Mostaza, Ventisca, Lavaliers 09 calf, and Scylla's 08 calf. Scylla's 08 calf was a great hit, playing with the boat for at least a half hour, also blowing bubbles, and spy hopping. We also saw flipper slapping, lobtailing and a small group of white sided dolphins
After the whale watch a bunch of the crew and passengers wandered up to Capt. Carlos for some much needed drink and nourishment. Something about an amazing whale watch mixed with a warm night that makes you hungry and thirsty. It was fun to continue on with the whale's tales (pun intended) and talk about the excitement of the day.
It is going to be an amazing whale watch season here at Capt. Bill and Sons Whale Watch! We can't wait to see all of you soon!

Activision announced today that Call of Duty: WWII generated over $500 million in worldwide sales in its first three days of release (or "opening weekend," as the publisher puts it). This first-person shooter came out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 3. This opening is twice as good as last year's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, according to Activision.
Most studios will tout specific sales numbers, but Activision likes to talk about opening weekends because it lets them compare their launches to Hollywood movies. In a press release sent to GamesBeat, Activision notes that this opening tops the starting weekends for Thor: Ragnarok and Wonder Woman combined. That's not really an easy comparison to make, as blockbuster movies have more scattered releases around the world. But it still shows just how much money WWII is bringing in.
WWII also set a PlayStation 4 record for first day digital sales for a full game.
Some Call of Duty fans had been clamoring for a return to the franchise's World War II roots. Last year's Infinite War still sold well, but many players complained of fatigue. It was another Call of Duty entry that leaned into a sci-fi setting, similar to Advanced Warfare and Black Ops III. Going back to World War II has given Activision a chance to freshen up the franchise.
Our review of Call of Duty: WW2 praised the game for its intense battles and heroic characters.

Mindi Baston
About The Teacher
From a very young age, Mindi was singing, dancing, and playing various instruments. As a soulful yoga teacher, Mindi has an uncanny ability to weave her musical gifts of singing and drumming in her yoga classes and enjoys finding new ways to inspire students on their own path of transformation.
While living and studying for her Psychology Master's degree in England, Mindi experienced a paradigm shift that shook her to the core. She woke up to her new calling of healing and energy work. However, it wasn't until the insatiable thirst for her own personal transformation and self-discovery, led her to discover the mystical power of yoga while living and working in Washington, D.C. that the radical internal shifts began to take place. Years later, Mindi journeyed back to Guatemala to rediscover the magical land that had planted the seed of transformation. While living and working in Guatemala City, Mindi discovered the Mystical Yoga Farm located on the beautiful Lake Atitlan and went to work on the farm in order to deepen her understanding of yoga.
Listening to the transformational calling of her heart and her special connection to the land, Mindi decided to pursue both her 200hr and 500hr teacher training at the Mystical Yoga Farm. Over the course of several years, Mindi has accumulated nearly 1000hrs in trainings and helped to lead the first 200-hr School Yoga Institute teacher training in Guatemala City.
When Mindi is not facilitating trainings in Guatemala or abroad, Mindi enjoys teaching private and studio classes in both English and Spanish in Guatemala City. She returns to the Mystical Yoga Farm frequently to the healing land that has shaped some of her deepest transformations.Source: kurakurayogaretreat.secure.retreat.guru

How we are funded
Our accounts
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is a charity (and therefore not-for-profit) which means every penny raised is spent on delivering our charitable work - nature conservation in Yorkshire. As a charity we do not make a profit like a commercial business.
We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
Annual reports
Our income
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust receives two main types of income: restricted (for specific projects) and unrestricted (for the ongoing delivery of our charitable objectives). It is important to distinguish between these two types of income. The vast majority of grant schemes restrict their funding and if we are successful in securing funding, we are completely restricted to spending it on the items as dictated by the funding contract. If we choose to spend the money on something else, we would be in breach of our contract and would have to return the money.
The Trust draws on a variety of funding sources to cover the costs of conservation projects, education and awareness work, and to manage our network of nature reserves.
Income for 2018-2019
Total income topped £9.5 million for the year - an increase of 36% and our highest to date. This enabled us to manage over 3,000 hectares of land for wildlife and deliver many projects on land and sea in Yorkshire.
Unrestricted income
This type of income is extremely important because the Trust can use it wherever the need is greatest to help protect local wildlife. Sources of unrestricted income include:
• Membership subscriptions from more than 44,000 individuals and over 100 local businesses
• Gifts in wills
• Donations in memory
• General donations
• Support from players of People's Postcode Lottery and Vine House Farm
During 2018-19 membership income increased by 4.5 % to £1.25 million. The Trust was also extremely fortunate to receive £0.19 m in legacies and £0.23m of support from the People's Postcode Lottery.
Restricted income
The Trust receives 90% of its restricted income from grant funders, public bodies and partner organisations; this is related to the delivery of specific projects. Sources of restricted funding include:
- Peoples Postcode Lottery
- The National Lottery
- Landfill Communities Fund
- Natural England
- Environment Agency
- Local authorities
Expenditure 2018/2019
The vast majority of our expenditure (93%) is on delivery of conservation for the benefit of wildlife, across our Living Landscapes and Living Seas. Of this, 25% goes on inspiring people through education and engagement which is critical to ensure the next generation values nature so that wildlife is conserved into the future.
We work hard to keep our fundraising costs to a minimum, spending just 6.9% of the budget this year on these activities.
• Our Living Landscapes work includes both conservation projects and nature reserve management, whereas our Living Seas work includes projects and campaigning.
• Inspiring and involving people includes education, events, communications and public affairs.
To run an organisation like this costs money, so some also goes into running costs. This includes expenditure on rent and property costs, providing IT to support our operations and vehicles to deliver our conservation activities.

PORTLAND – The Southern Maine Democratic Socialists of America (SMDSA) voted unanimously on Monday, August 20, to endorse Jon Torsch for Portland City Council (District 2) in the November 2018 general election. Torsch, a member of the SMDSA Executive Board, is running for the first time.
Torsch is the only candidate for District 2 pledging to take no money from out-of-state donors, PACs, corporations, or real estate interests. If elected, Torsch will propose clean elections legislation at the municipal level, modeled after the state program of the same name. Torsch has also made priorities of participatory budgeting, open data, progressive property taxes, cooperative development, housing security, and public resource investments such as libraries and light rail.
"I am beyond excited and proud to have received the endorsement of the Southern Maine DSA. I have been organizing and doing activist work with this chapter for a while now, and to know that the membership body came together and unanimously endorsed my campaign shows real solidarity – that we are all in this together. I believe that collective action is the answer, and to have SMDSA behind me as a real grassroots organization, I know that we can win this seat and democratize the power that it holds," says Torsch.
As socialists, we understand that elected officials can govern either on behalf of special moneyed interests, or on behalf of the great majority: working people. Torsch's campaign promises to improve the lives of everyday Portlanders and amplify their political power. "Jon is a comrade and a friend. He has the energy, vision, and ideas to bring a fresh dose of democracy to city council," says Caleb Horton, co-chair of SMDSA's endorsements committee.
As his colleagues, the membership of SMDSA has seen that Torsch means what he says. We also understand that even the most diligent elected officials are constrained by the countervailing forces of the capitalist system. When working people organize in the workplace, the street, and the voting booth, we can overcome the power of exploitative bosses, destructive property speculators, and dictatorial social forces. Jon Torsch's success depends on all of us.
SMDSA encourages its members and the general public to learn more about Torsch's campaign, join his campaign for District 2 in any way they can, and vote for him in November.
The DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States. The DSA welcomes members and endorses candidates of any party affiliation who share its mission to decrease the influence of money in politics so that ordinary citizens can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.
For more information about SMDSA or its endorsement process, contact email@example.com

Additional US$558,671 allocated for luxury tax on President's vehicles
COLOMBO (The Island/ANN) - Government tables supplementary estimate for US$118 million, including US$558,671 for luxury tax on President's vehicles.
The government, yesterday, submitted a supplementary estimate, seeking parliamentary approval for USD 118 million including USD 558,671 for the payment of the luxury tax on two security vehicles imported for President Maithripala Sirisena.
Approval was also sought for USD 448,873 for setting up community based Green Clubs at Divisional Secretariat level. It is an initiative by the Ministry of Finance.
The key allocations for which House approval was sought included USD 8.8 million for the provision of foreign and domestic components related to the Urban Regeneration Programme, financed by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, under a loan agreement signed on 25th April 2019.
Based on Cabinet Decisions, USD 8.8 million will be allocated for settling outstanding bills pertaining to projects for rehabilitation of the areas affected by floods and landslides in the Matara District; they commenced before 31st December 2017. USD 829,710 will also be provided for the repayment of Deposit Holders of the Golden Key Credit Card Company Ltd. as per a Cabinet decision reached on 17th June 2015.
Ministry of City Planning, Water Supply and Higher Education will be allocated USD 5.5 million for township development in lagging regions. USD 6.9 million is allocated for the implementation of the Budget Proposal on interim allowance of USD 13.83 for Public Sector Employees.
The supplementary estimate also seeks USD 34,837 for the purchase 20 walkie-talkies and related equipment for the President.

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #chargeandrefresh #CollectiveBias
Heading back to college this fall is definitely a challenge now that I have Camilla. As I am still adjusting to becoming a mother. Thankfully, I've had support from my significant other to complete assignments and continue my studies. I was suppose to graduate with an associates in Communication Studies and Social Behavioral Sciences in May of 2019. As you can imagine I probably will finish a semester later. Although, I had hoped to finish within the same time frame I now understand priorities come before plans.
5 Tips for College Students to Survive Each Semester
- Study: Find the ideal place for you to study with the least amount of distractions.
- One Stop Shop: There will be plenty of times when you are running late to class, group project, or an appointment. In order to save time have a one stop shop where you can pump gas, grab a snack, and something to drink. At the moment the NEW and exclusive MTN DEW ICE™ on fountain at Circle K has become a favorite.
- It's a clear refreshing carbonated soft drink with a blend of lemon and lime flavors. With a splash of real juice to keep you charged and refreshed throughout the day.
- Get Organized: Buy an organizer, use the calendar on your phone, or even a wall calendar to stay up to date. Professors will usually provide a syllabus the first day of class with everything that will covered. Tip: Keep the syllabus because you will often need it to verify a due date, material that will be covered, and contact information for your instructor.
- Go to Class: The easiest points you will earn in any course will be attendance. Simply avoid the temptation to skip class.
- Seek Balance: Without a doubt, college can be overwhelming. Find the ideal mixture of social and academic happenings that suit you the best.
As a college student I understand the importance of finding a one-stop-shop like Circle K to take it easy. I am able to find products, deals, and have a convenient life. You can find MTN DEW ICE™ in a lemon lime flavor on fountain at a nearby Circle K. I've had to learn to prioritize instead of having a solid plan since becoming a mother. As I mentioned recently being in control is within my comfort zone. As a mother I've had to understand that being in control is not always the best and to go with the flow. That's why I rely on Circle K to help me save time when I am running late.

The Palm Centro is a delight to carry around and it can do anything the iPhone can do and more for nearly half the cost of an Iphone even with the purchase of an 8GB MicroSD card. You will not have the huge screen or touchscreen technology of the Iphone, but you will have some extra money in your pocket and faster/cheaper data access on the Sprint Network.actually, the centro does have a touch screen and comes with a stylus.
again, why apple chose to pair with at&t is beyond me. they have the slowest network out of all the major carriers. while iphone users aren't even able to access data on a first generation 3G network, sprint has already upgraded to the second version of their 3G network. sprint has the cheapest unlimited data pack on the market (at $15 a month) as well. i just bought a 2 gig microsd card for $15, and that little bugger will allow me to load 500 songs onto my device.
apple should open the iphone to sprint customers, and they should do it soon.

Extra €90 million spent on groceries during the festive period
An extra €90 million was spent on groceries during the recent festive period, according to the latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel in Ireland.
This morning Kantar published the latest grocery market share figures for the 12-week period ending December 31.
Commenting on the announcement, director at Kantar Worldpanel David Berry said: "Over the Christmas period the average household spent a record €1,532 on groceries – an increase of €38 compared to last year.
Much of this increase has been driven by staple items – with fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry posting a combined sales increase of €28 million.
"Shoppers were also partial to a Christmas tipple with sales of alcohol up almost 6% – a boost of €13 million. Wine was the drink of choice this year, with white wine and red wine sales up an impressive 10% and 12% respectively," he added.
The figures also showed that Dunnes Stores remained Ireland's most popular supermarket, with a market share of 23% – up 0.3 percentage points on this time last year. The grocer also achieved its strongest sales growth since May 2017, up 4.9%.
Dunnes Stores' customers remained loyal to the store, with perks such as the 'Shop and Save' campaign encouraging customers to add extra items to their shopping baskets, Kantar added.
Tesco record strongest sales increase since 2011
Continuing, Berry said: "Tesco also performed strongly, achieving its highest sales growth since February 2011 – up 5.8%.
The supermarket's impressive growth helped it increase its market share by 0.5 percentage points compared to this time last year, and it now stands at 22.8%.
"SuperValu clocked in sales growth of 2%, with the grocer encouraging customers to spend an extra 70c every time they shop."
Kantar explained that, historically, shoppers have chosen to trade up over the Christmas period.
However, Lidl seems to have broken the trend this year, it added. The retailer "enjoyed a positive performance" over the Christmas period, with market share rising to 10.4% thanks to sales growth of 4.8%, figures show.
Meanwhile, Aldi saw sales rise by 0.9%; this was below the overall market level and led to a slight dip in market share – down 0.3 percentage points compared to this time last year.
Online shopping
The trend towards online shopping is showing no signs of slowing down, Berry said.
"Online grocers experienced impressive sales growth of 24%, which boosted their share of the market to a record 2.3% over the Christmas period.
"Although grocery e-commerce shoppers haven't increased in numbers, customers who already shop online have upped the frequency of their purchases with – on average – one extra order placed over this period," he concluded.

Russia will take the narrowest of leads with them to Montevideo in two weeks' time after they beat Uruguay 22-21 in Saturday's first leg of the final Rugby World Cup 2015 qualifier in Krasnoyarsk.
However, while no team likes to lose a game of rugby, Uruguay's Pablo Lemoine will probably be the more satisfied of the two coaches as his side is still very much in contention at what is effectively half-time.
Of course, the fact that the second half will most likely be played on a warm day in front 12,000 home fans will give him cause for optimism after his team held their own in the near-freezing conditions and vociferous Siberian crowd of the first 80 minutes.
But for Russia's indiscipline and the cultured right boot of fly-half Felipe Berchesi, who slotted seven penalties, the gap would have been more. Two yellow cards, a high penalty count and the spurning of several try-scoring opportunities did nothing for the mood of Russia coach Raphael Saint-Andre but he will know that his team was the more creative on the day and, if they can somehow learn to compete at set pieces and improve their defence at mauls, they too can make the long journey to South America with some confidence.
And it was Russia who scored the game's only try. A sustained period of pressure was forged through the work of second-row Alexander Voytov and flanker Andrei Garbuzov, creating space for the pacey Russian backline, expertly marshalled by fly-half Yuri Kushnarev. In the end, outside centre Dmitri Gerasimov made a great break into Uruguay's 22 and, with the retreating defence stretched, scrum-half Alexander Ianushkin recycled quickly and fed loose-head prop Grigory Tsobiladze who rumbled over from short range.
Russia led 16-12 at half-time
Kushnarev converted and it sent Russia into the dressingroom at half-time with a 16-12 lead. The second half continued a similar pattern to the first. Russia looked dangerous when they retained the ball and made space for their backline but Uruguay's scrum and maul were too much for Russia and their rush defence added enormous pressure, hindering the Bears' efforts to manufacture that crucial go-forward ball.
On the scoreboard it was a kicking competition with both Kushnarev and Berchesi in fine form. Uruguay took a 21-19 lead on 66 minutes, which was cancelled out by his opposite number seven minutes later. Berchesi had a chance to win the match in the dying moments of the game but he saw his well-struck penalty from about 35 metres out shave the wrong side of the post.
Saint-Andre said: "We need to improve our discipline. We had two yellow cards today that cost us a lot. In the second half we had too many penalties against. It is why they came back into the game. So with a bit more discipline, we have got a chance in Montevideo. Today their kicker was on fire and maybe it won't be the same in two weeks.
"After 50 minutes our players got really tired and when you are tired you are not as clever when you are fresh. After 50 minutes because it was a hard fight we were a bit tired and that is why we gave away the penalties. Uruguay also put us under pressure and it made us concede penalties when they had a lot of possession in the second half.
We will compete with Uruguay
"We are not afraid. We know Uruguay are a good team but we tried to compete as well as possible with them. We knew their scrum was strong and they were able to make some very good mauls."
"I am not happy about the final gap because we could have scored a couple of more tries in the first half. It is why I am not really, really happy about the game. We know it is going to be very hard in Montevideo. The Uruguay welcome is very famous and we will try to give our best there in a game between two close teams.
Lemoine added: "It was a close game. We made some mistakes when we had two more players on the field which probably cost us the game. It was a classic game between the sides ranked 19th and 20th in the IRB rankings.
"I feel we were comfortable. We respected our strategy and although we made some mistakes when we kicked I felt our pack was really strong and dominant. We have to be more patient but we are happy with the result. We never like to lose but we know in Uruguay that the ambiance will not be the same. The stadium will have 12,000 there who will really be pushing behind our team. We are frustrated that we didn't win but we will prepare well for the next match."
It sets up an enthralling return leg in Montevideo on 11 October, a match that will be streamed live on rugbyworldcup.com. The winner will join Australia, England, Fiji and Wales in Pool A at RWC 2015.

Alex Eames over at RasPi.TV is the first of us reviewers to get his hands on the new PiJuice from Pi Supply. Alex has been sent a sample unit of the PiJuice itself plus a couple of solar panels and has done an unboxing video of them over at RasPi.TV – so take a look here. The first five minutes is an excellent piece on the (rather infamous) Kickstarter campaign that is well worth watching, and then he gets onto the components themselves.
Apologies for the lack of updates recently. The wind's rather gone out of my sails and I've had a lot of Pi Wars prep to do in advance of releasing the names of the successful applicants.

Pedophilia Hysteria Hinders Males Teaching Elementary Kids
Tom Leonard writing in the Telegraph notes that a man drove past Abigail Rae, the two year old who in 2006 drowned in a garden pond after wandering off from her village playgroup, shortly before her tragic accident.
She was not walking straight, she was tottering, said Mr Peachey. "I kept thinking should I go back? One of the reasons I did not go back is because I thought someone would see me and think I was trying to abduct her."
Leonard notes that an informal poll of his office colleagues found the women thought his excuse was pathetic and that he should have stopped to pick up the child. Men in Leonard's office, who have probably encountered being treated with suspicion themselves, were more sympathetic to Peachey's plight.
As a woman one can sit on a park bench overlooking a children's playground and likely be left alone. A man doing the same thing will find himself subject to dirty looks and eventually the approach of a policeman.
The hysteria over paedophilia hangs like some dark cloud over almost every interaction nowadays between a man and a child that isn't his.
All of which relates to education in the number of men who are willing to become teachers of younger children. The gender imbalance at primary and elementary school level is oft decried, with only 12% of primary school teachers in England being male and according to a 2008 report the US not faring much better with only 17% of elementary teachers being male. Kindergarten teachers? 98% female.
Abby would have been too young to know the rules about strangers, but what would have happened if Mr Peachey had stopped to help a slightly older child. Nowadays, the standard advice to lost children is unambiguous – find a police officer or, failing that, a woman with a child.
Note, not a man with a child and certainly not a man without one.
Mr Peachey couldn't stop to save Abby. Had he stopped and the mother had turned out to be nearby he could easily have found himself being cautioned by the police for attempted child abduction, subject to a local hate campaign or even being placed on the Sex Offender's register. If more men are to take on the vocation of teaching young children, or society wants them to stop and help a child wandering alone, then current attitudes which tar all men who look or approach a child with the brush of potential pedophilia have to be adjusted to a saner middle ground.
Farmers in north Wales used to greet a little boy with a pat on the head and a coin. Today, when he wants to talk to a child, he makes sure he first gets a smile out of the parent and mentions that he has grandchildren.

By the time Andrew Curtis-Brignell started Caïna in 2004, one-man black metal projects had already earned themselves a sterling reputation – fairly, in many cases – for laughably rudimentary songwriting, glass-shards-being-flushed-down-a-toilet production, and all-around foolishness. It was with a fair amount of preconception-shedding awe, then, that many followed the fascinating progression of this project from its fiercely raw beginnings to the sprawling ambient atmospherics and patient tension of Mourner, and then to Temporary Antennae, which took a stunning pastoral approach, mixing delicate folk, deft touches of post-rock, and relatively sparse outbursts of blustery black metal. Hands That Pluck is not so much a step backward from the largely gentle sophistication of Temporary Antennae as it is a great lunging leap sideways with a knife and some serious anger issues (helped immensely by lunatic vocal turns from Curtis-Brignell, Krieg's Imperial, Revenge/Blood Revolt/etc.'s Chris Ross, and Starkweather's Rennie Resmini). As such, it makes for an unexpected close to Caïna's generally progressive canon, yet a satisfying and ultimately brave statement from one of extreme metal's most unique voices.
Knowing in advance that Hands That Pluck is Caïna's final album has the unfortunate effect of loading it up with inflated expectations. It's one thing to assess an album through the lens of finality following a band's dissolution, but it's quite another to begin listening to an album from the very start as though each note sounds the dour chiseling of another letter of a weathered granite epitaph. Even absolving Hands That Pluck of such a weighty mission, the album is more than a little off-putting initially because of the defiantly raw production and simplistic black metal assault of its opening numbers, with Curtis-Brignell's snarled vocal exhortations flitting in and out of frame. The guitars are all fuzz and squall, while the drums are tinny and pinched.
However, both the sonics and the songwriting open up considerably following the opening one-two gut punch of "Profane Inheritors" and "Murrain," leading the attentive listener to better appreciate the nuances that are added one at a time. Once the ear attunes to the complexities buried in the bleary haze, a backward glance confirms that even when the album appears to be at its most primitive – as on "Profane Inheritors" – there is actually a canny obscuring of truly lovely moments happening at almost every turn.
The easy thing to do now would be to say that the album is a success because it eventually shows glimmers of beauty despite its ugly presentation, but that seems like a cop-out, a way that a critic gets away with praising something that she doesn't actually like, and it also perpetuates the strange idea that ugly noises mean ugly thoughts and pretty noises, pretty thoughts. What's really going on here is a more intimate relationship between the primitive, blown-out blackness and the beauty that winks like a pulsar in its midst. It's not just that the album has a bunch of ugliness on one side, and occasional beauty on the other side, but that the moments of beauty which do shine through do so all the more brightly because they have managed to escape the hulking mass of otherwise harsh noise.
It ought to be nearly axiomatic by now that the best albums are the ones that teach one how to listen to them, which is precisely what Hands That Pluck does. It is a truly engrossing listen, if given the time to complete its unfolding. "The Sea of Grief Has No Shores" is a shimmering instrumental piece that shuffles and builds with the delicate tension of early Tortoise (y'know, real post-rock from before when post-rock meant "wimpy-ANGRY-wimpy"), while "Callus and Cicatrix" features the inimitable vocals of Starkweather's Resmini, who turns the searching swells of the music's slow burn into something truly harrowing.
Even after several trips of painstakingly close listening, the production is often so odd and muddled that it makes it difficult to pick out what's going on with all the instrumentation. Still, Hands That Pluck is littered with moments of brilliance that make it all worthwhile, like 4:30 into "Somnium Ignis," when a busy clean guitar bubbles up triumphantly from the unformed chaos. In cases like this, the murky production is actually an asset, but at other times, like for much of the complex and satisfying build and burst of "Ninety-Three," one can't quite shake the feeling that the songs would be more powerful with greater clarity in the production. For album closer "Ninety-Three" especially, this is a real shame, as the song itself is a nearly flawless display of everything that has made Caïna such a unique and frequently thrilling project over the years.
Even if it falls short of being an unalloyed triumph, Hands That Pluck is a dizzying edifice of other-worldly sounds and very much this-worldly grievances. It is hugely ambitious and frequently flawed, which, after all, is just like art; just like life.

Upon reaching level 30, Division Agents will be able to activate one of several specializations. Each one unlocks a unique signature weapon and additional skills that offer new ways to play.
Sometimes stealth is just not an option. Demolitionists are agents of chaos, focusing on disrupting enemy plans and entrenched positions using a grenade launcher as their signature weapon.
A specialization for Agents looking at taking their targets out, without them ever realizing what hit them. Sharpshooters can change the tide of a battle from afar using a powerful sniper rifle as their signature weapon.
Meet the Gunner, a force to be reckoned with, equipped with a powerful Minigun, new side arm and an entirely new skill tree. The Gunner will serve as the vanguard of SHD Agents in the ongoing fight to reclaim the city.
Looking to disrupt the battlefield? The Technician wields a multi-missile launcher and can equip EMP grenades and a special Tech Hive. Specialized talents in skill power, skill support, and disrupt effects make the Technician the perfect opponent against Black Tusk.
The Firewall Specialization pairs a K8-JetStream Flamethrower with a Striker shield, which boosts the damage dealt by allies behind it, depending on how many enemies are in front of it. The Firewall also carries a Firestarter sawn-off shotgun, with Talents that complement the flamethrower's fire damage.
Take on other players to prove your skills and earn powerful high-end gear.
New content will be added regularly to The Division 2, and players will have access to a full year of free story-driven missions, map expansions and new game features.
This isn't the end, Agents. The fight for our city has only just begun. Welcome to The Division 2 Endgame.
