Santa Paula Art Museum to Unveil Its New Cole Creativity Center with Free Event on August 18
Santa Paula Art Museum
Saturday, August 18, 2018, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Santa Paula Art Museum's Cole Creativity Center. Admission to the event is free for everyone.
SANTA PAULA, CA – You're invited to the grand opening of the Santa Paula Art Museum's new Cole Creativity Center on Saturday, August 18, 2018, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Guests of the event can take a tour of the Museum's new building and experience a variety of creative activities for all ages including sidewalk art, maker stations, face painting, and more. Nationally renowned street and chalk artist Naomi Pitcairn will be leading the sidewalk art project! Plus, learn more about upcoming art classes at the Cole Creativity Center, enjoy the Museum's current exhibitions, and grab a bite to eat at one of the food carts on-site. Admission is free for everyone.
The official unveiling of the Cole Creativity Center comes after an extensive ten-month renovation that transformed the 1954 former Santa Paula Savings and Loan building into a modern, accessible space where creativity is abundant, artists share and inspire, students discover and explore, imagination has no limit, all are welcome, and art creates community. The building was donated to the Santa Paula Art Museum by Mr. Lee Cole, whose late wife Jeanette was a beloved docent at the Museum. Mr. Cole, Mayor Ginger Gherardi, and other members of the Santa Paula City Council will be on hand for a ribbon cutting ceremony at 12:45pm, just before the grand opening event on August 18. The now renovated Cole Creativity Center offers a much-needed space for the Museum's growing educational programs, permanent art collection, and arts library. Art classes for children and adults began in early summer 2018 and will continue to be offered year-round. An upcoming schedule of classes can be found online at www.santapaulaartmuseum.org/creativity.
Attendees of the grand opening can enter a raffle to win one of three paintings by historic Santa Paula artists Cornelis Botke, Jessie Arms Botke, and Douglas Shively. Raffle tickets can be purchased during the event until 2:30pm, or online now at www.santapaulaartmuseum.org/grandopening. You do not have to be present at the event to win. The drawing will be held at 3:00pm during the grand opening celebration. You can also make a donation and have your name or the name of a loved one added to a permanent art installation inside the Cole Creativity Center. Donations can be made during the grand opening, or online now at www.santapaulaartmuseum.org/grandopening. All proceeds benefit the Cole Creativity Center.

Travels in Alaska.
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1915. First edition of this classic work by Muir. Octavo, original grey cloth lettered in white, color illustrated paper cover label, top edge gilt. Illustrated with several plates from photographs, including frontispiece with tissue-guard. From the library of Moorfield Storey, with his bookplate to the front pastedown. Story was a lawyer, anti-imperial activist, and civil rights leader based in Boston, Massachusetts. According to Storey's biographer, William B. Hixson, Jr., he had a worldview that embodied "pacifism, anti-imperialism, and racial egalitarianism fully as much as it did laissez-faire and moral tone in government." Storey served as the founding president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), serving from 1909 to his death in 1929. In near fine condition. An exceptional example with noted provenance. Travels in Alaska, by John Muir, reflects Muir's exuberance for life and almost everything he encountered in his many travels. In addition to being an ecologist and traveler, John Muir was a botanist and geologist, a fact which readers will be reminded of through his contemplations of the southeast Africa flora and the activity of glaciers. Travels in Alaska is John Muir's journal of his 1879, 1880, and 1890 trips to southeast Alaska's glaciers, rivers, and temperate rain forests. For Muir, the wilderness was a medicine or spiritual tonic. Physical impediments and frailties faded into the background when he was alone in the wilderness. Much of "Travels in Alaska" is given to glaciers, including … [Click Below for Full Description]

It is hard to put lipstick on a pig.
China's November trade data (a 2.2% year over year fall in exports; a 17.9% year over year fall in imports -- see Andrew Batson of the Wall Street Journal) suggests that global trade is contracting quite rapidly. And since trade accounts for a rising share of global activity, it suggests that the global economy has stalled -- and perhaps is contracting.
The fall in China's exports suggests global demand is falling. And the fall in China's imports on first blush seems larger than can be explained just by the fall in demand for imported components for China's exports and sliding commodity prices: it suggests that Chinese domestic demand is quite weak ...
The November data from Korea and Taiwan tells a similar story. All experienced far larger falls in year over year falls in their exports than China did.
Sometimes the y/y change for China paints a misleading picture -- as the timing of China's New Year can have a big impact on the data. Not in this case. The 3 month moving average is heading down too -- and it almost certainly has further to fall.
Up until now the widely reported difficulties in China's traditional, labor-intensive export sectors (textiles, shoes) have been offset by strength in China's more capital-intensive export sectors (electronics, machinery). See the World Bank Quarterly. But not anymore. November's exports plunged well below China's trend growth (using a linear trend, with monthly exports running roughly $20b over their level the previous year ... ).
There isn't much of a case for China to allow the yuan to depreciate against the dollar to help exports though. Not when Chinese exports are falling less than other countries exports, and China is gaining global market share. These are going to be hard times for everyone.
And China -- with its large external surplus and strong fiscal position -- should have more room to stimulate domestic demand than most. It certainly needs to do so.
China's imports fell significantly faster than its exports in November, pushing China's monthly trade surplus up to a record $40 billion. That is a lot of cash. Let's see how large the US deficit is in November -- it might not be all that much larger than China's surplus.
China's 2008 trade surplus looks set to exceed China's 2007 trade surplus. Given that oil is going to average close to $100 a barrel in 2008 -- more than $30 a barrel more than in 2007 -- that is rather stunning. And right now there isn't any much reason to think that China's trade surplus will shrink in 2009. Exports will fall. But so will imports. And the fall in commodity prices implies that the terms of trade have shifted in China's favor.
Watch how this chart evolves over the next few months ...
The global flow of funds right now is actually quite simple: China runs a large surplus and the US runs a fairly large deficit -- and, assuming hot money flows are (still) modest, China's large surplus leads to rapid growth in China's reserves and large Chinese purchases of US Treasuries. That is the dominant global flow right now -- together with the "deleveraging" of the private sector.
One last point. China has released its November data before the US has released its October data. And I rather suspect China's export data has already established the likely trajectory for US exports.
The seasonal dip in China's exports (the data isn't seasonally adjusted) usually comes after the US and European holidays -- not before. The US trade data for the next two months is unlikely to paint a pretty picture of the health of the US or the global economy.
UPDATE: Nice analysis from the Economist.

Today, on the European and World Day against the Death Penalty, the European Union reaffirms its strong commitment to promoting the right to life as a fundamental right of every human being and to supporting the worldwide trend towards the abolition of the death penalty. Today more than two thirds of all countries (141) have abolished the capital punishment in either law or practice. Abolition of the death penalty is a distinctive achievement in Europe. Its absolute ban under all circumstances is inscribed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and all 28 EU Member States have enshrined a de jure moratorium in their national legislations. The European Union also urges all European States to ratify the protocols to the European Convention on Human Rights, which aim at the abolition of the death penalty.
The death penalty indeed is incompatible with human dignity. It implies inhuman and degrading treatments, does not have any proven significant deterrent effect, and allows judicial errors to become irreversible and fatal. No legal system is perfect. Maintaining the death penalty makes the execution of innocent people inevitable. This is an unacceptable risk. Death penalty creates more pain, for the families of the people sentenced to death, and in particular their children, but also for the families of the victims who are increasingly rejecting death penalty worldwide because it does not honour their late relatives and can violate their ethnical and religious beliefs. The world is moving away from the death penalty today because some alternatives to the death penalty – rehabilitation at first – have proven more effective.
Moreover, the death penalty often first hurts poor and vulnerable people disproportionately. The theme of this year's Day against the Death Penalty looks at its inextricable link to poverty. Social and economic inequalities affect access to justice for those who are sentenced to death for several reasons: defendants may lack resources to defend themselves and will in some cases face discrimination because of their social status. Worldwide, the individuals sentenced to the capital punishment are often migrant workers and disadvantaged people, often victims of illegal trafficking activities who benefit little if at all from the crimes they are accused of.
In Laos, a de facto moratorium on the death penalty has been applied for more than 25 years – which means that if the death penalty is still retained in the Lao legislation, no executions have been carried out since then. The recent revision of the Penal Code has triggered lively discussions at the National Assembly among people's representatives. The death penalty is often perceived as a preventive and deterring measure to prevent relapse and address severe crimes, including drug trafficking. As intended by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the number of crimes punishable by the death penalty should be reduced to a minimum so as to meet the international definition of the most serious crimes. Narcotic-related crimes, in particular, do not meet the threshold of "most serious crimes". Overall, studies have shown that the threat of punishment is not a decisive factor for people who engage in drug crimes.
The EU has been giving considerable importance to the violation of the minimum standards defined by international law around the world. In Laos, the EU supports the reforms undertaken under the revised Penal code that aim at meeting those standards - including the extension of the moratorium's scope to juvenile offenders, pregnant women, elderly and persons with intellectual disabilities and the reduction of the number of crimes calling for death sentences – and encourages the consideration of an increasing number of abolitionist voices within the National Assembly.
The EU today invites to celebrate on the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states that everyone without any distinction has the right to life. The message to abolish the death penalty is as important today as ever. Where capital punishment remains in force, there are serious violations of international norms and standards. Where capital punishment remains in words, maintaining a lively debate and considering all voices is essential.

THE BRIGHTON WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S A Cause Close to My Heart
When I talk with clients about the safety and security that comes with thorough elder care planning, many of them want to give back to their community. Once they know their loved ones are taken care of, they want to contribute to the greater good. It's very rewarding to hear these desires from clients because I share the same philanthropic impulse. One motto I try to live by is "leave the world a little better than you found it," and I've found that one of the most meaningful ways to do this is supporting worthy causes. For the past five years, our firm has played a role in Michigan's installments of the Walk to End Alzheimer's. Our first three years, we participated in the Detroit Walk. From then on, we have been a featured sponsor of the Brighton edition. This year's walk is on September 30, and we'd love for you to provide support in whatever way you feel comfortable. I'm on the organizing committee, and last year, we were the No. 1 donating team. It
means a lot that our entire staff is as invested in this cause as I am, and I'm so thankful for their support, as well as the support from so many of our clients. Alzheimer's research is a cause close to my heart for many reasons. As an undergraduate, I studied psychology, and I've always been fascinated by how the mind works. Memory is part of what makes us human, and understanding it better will help us fight Alzheimer's. Of course, as an elder care attorney, it's a condition I've seen affect many families. I've also went through some family experience with Alzheimer's. Nearly everyone will know somebody who suffers from Alzheimer's or dementia, so it affects all of our lives. However, if I can help generate more research on these conditions, I am more than willing to do. Alzheimer's research is not the only cause I care a great deal about. I also work with the Area Agency on Aging. They do incredible work providing
support and education on all aspects of the aging process and are a resource I recommend to many clients. LACASA, who provide help to child and adult victims of abuse, is another organization I do whatever I can to help. Before I sign off this month, I just want to send out one last reminder about this year's Brighton Walk to End Alzheimer's. I know we've put this information in the newsletter before, but it's worth repeating. If you want to contribute to our donation page, walk alongside us, or volunteer your time, give us a call at 888-390-4360, or visit www.alzeldercare.com. We're grateful for whatever contribution you can make and want to thank everyone who donates in whatever way they can. Together, we can make a difference. Let's make 2017 the best year yet for the Brighton edition of the Walk to End Alzheimer's. – Christopher J. Berry

Heel spurs are a condition that usually makes its presence known first thing in the morning via heel pain. Discomfort is typically felt in the front and bottom of the heel (calcaneal). Pain can be constant for several months or intermittent for lengthy periods of time.
Heel spurs are bony outgrowths positioned where the plantar fascia tissue attaches to the heel bone (the calcaneus). Heel spurs seldom cause pain. It is the inflamed tissue surrounding the spur that causes the pain. The Latin meaning of Plantar Fasciitis is, ?Inflammation of Plantar Fascia.? The plantar fascia is a long, thick and very tough band of tissue beneath your foot that provides arch support. It also connects your toes to your heel bone. Each time you take a step, the arch slightly flattens to absorb impact. This band of tissue is normally quite strong and flexible but unfortunately, circumstances such as undue stress, being overweight, getting older or having irregularities in your foot dynamics can lead to unnatural stretching and micro-tearing of the plantar fascia. This causes pain and swelling at the location where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone. As the fascia continually pulls at the heel bone, the constant irritation eventually creates a bony growth on the heel. This is called a heel spur.
Heel spurs result in a jabbing or aching sensation on or under the heel bone. The pain is often worst when you first arise in the morning and get to your feet. You may also experience pain when standing up after prolonged periods of sitting, such as work sessions at a desk or car rides. The discomfort may lessen after you spend several minutes walking, only to return later. Heel spurs can cause intermittent or chronic pain.
A Heel Spur diagnosis is made when an X-ray shows a hook of bone protruding from the bottom of the foot at the point where the plantar fascia is attached to the heel bone. The plantar fascia is the thick, connective tissue that runs from the calcaneus (heel bone) to the ball of the foot. This strong and tight tissue helps maintain the arch of the foot. It is also one of the major transmitters of weight across the foot as you walk or run. In other words, tremendous stress is placed on the plantar fascia.
Non Surgical Treatment
The majority of heel spurs are treated with non-surgical interventions. These can relieve pain, but may take from about 3 months to up to a year for symptoms to resolve. Rest, icing, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory or prescription medications can help ease symptoms. Cortisone injections may also be used. Physical therapists may instruct you to perform stretching exercises to help relax the tissues in the heel. Your doctor may recommend custom orthotics or shoe inserts to position and cushion your heel. Night splints can help position the heel and arch of the foot while you sleep. Some doctors may recommend extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). This treatment uses energy pulses to start the repair process in the heel tissues. ESWT is recommend when other non-surgical treatments have failed.
Surgical Treatment
Sometimes bone spurs can be surgically removed or an operation to loosen the fascia, called a plantar fascia release can be performed. This surgery is about 80 percent effective in the small group of individuals who do not have relief with conservative treatment, but symptoms may return if preventative measures (wearing proper footwear, shoe inserts, stretching, etc) are not maintained.

Signed up your kids for summer camp yet? If not, you're probably not alone.
I, for one, typically operate on a day-to-day, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants mode. Panic sets in when I have to schedule a week, or even a few days, in advance. So when billboards around town, brochures in the mail box, and emails in my in-box began to bombard me with reminders about summer camp—at least three whole months away—I initially tried to shut them out.
But, realizing this would only result in my kids getting shut out (desirable camp slots fill-up quickly), I finally relented, scrambling to find some suitable scheduled activities to fill my kids' otherwise unscheduled summers. Seems sort of counter-intuitive, right? But that's another subject, for a different day. For now, we're sticking to the topic of summer camps or, more precisely, how to pick them.
I may not be forward thinking when it comes to summer camp, but I have a good memory of what's worked in past summers for my kids—and which mistakes I hope to avoid in the future. So when you're sorting through the dizzying array of summer camps out there, these tips may help you decide which options are right for your kids.
Avoid procrastinating. Much like summer beach rentals, many if not all slots in prime camps get filled by February or March. So, even if you have a tough time wrapping your head around a seemingly simple child experience that will not happen for months, remember: it behooves you to focus now.
Make camp work for the whole family. Sure, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience. But it's got to work for the whole family. Case in point: When my kids were younger and I worked at home, it made no sense for me to stagger the camps they attended so that one child was home with me one week, the other the next—as that would have meant two straight weeks where I wouldn't get any work done. I chose camps they could attend simultaneously—not easy as my kids are different genders and ages. Though it took more leg work on the front end, it usually proved worthwhile.
Don't succumb to mob mentality. Signing up your kid for whatever a bunch of his best buddies are doing might seem like the surest bet. Then again, it might not be. For instance, a sleepover soccer camp with your son's teammates sounds like a blast. But if he tends to dehydrate or fatigue easily in hot weather, playing soccer all day on hot turf in potentially 100 degree weather for several consecutive days may not be the best idea. (Hint: If this kind of camp is up his or her alley, check with the local colleges as some of them offer decent overnight sports camps.)
Do your research. A glossy brochure or even a video on a website can make any camp look amazing. But they can't give you the inside scoop. You want answers to questions like: What are the counselors like? Are the activities age-appropriate? If it's an activity-specific camp (like art or music or swimming), how much time is spent honing that skill, and what do campers do the rest of the time? Is it safe, clean, well-run? How many return visitors do they have? Is the price in line with other similar camps? What's the staff-to-camper ratio? An above-board camp should have no qualms answering these questions. It's also a good idea, whenever possible, to ask families who've been there before what they thought.
Be wary of the buddy system. To attend camp with a friend or not to? This decision can be a crap shoot. I'll never forget driving to camp daughter and a little girl that we—my daughter and me, that is—thought was her friend. "I hope some of my friends are going to this camp," the little girl exclaimed from the back seat. I almost wrecked the car. On the flip side, had my daughter chosen to attend a camp with someone who really was her friend, they may have clung to each other all week and not made any new ones. So, if one of your goals in sending your kid to camp is to open her up to a new experience, including new friends, think twice before signing her up with a buddy.
Consider what's close to home. If you want to keep it simple this summer, you've got lots of options in your own community. Most, if not all, the independent schools offer summer camp programs, from academics to sports and beyond. Recreation councils and local colleges sometimes sponsor summer camps for kids. Do a little digging, and you may come up with something that's practically in your backyard.
Lean on professional help if you're overwhelmed. Researching summer camps for kids can become a full-time job, if you let it. But assistance is available. Local family resource magazine Baltimore's Child hosts a summer camp fair March 10 at Timonium's Crowne Plaza Hotel. Find out more here. The website Tips on Trips and Camps promises virtual support on sleep-away camps. And Student Summers, a free advisory service, also doles out advice on summer camp opportunities for kids. Lanie Yerman is the local consultant for this service, and can be reached at [email protected] or 443-790-9851.

MacArthur Foundation Awards Grants for Local Justice System Reform
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation has announced grants of $150,000 each along with technical assistance to twenty U.S. jurisdictions seeking to create fairer, more effective local justice systems.
Awarded as part of the foundation's $75 million Safety and Justice Challenge, the grants will support efforts to develop comprehensive local reform plans that reduce unnecessary over-incarceration, improve public safety, save taxpayer money, and lead to fairer outcomes. Technical assistance and expert counsel will be provided by the Center for Court Innovation, the Institute for State and Local Governance at the City University of New York, the Justice Management Institute, Justice System Partners, the Pretrial Justice Institute, and the Vera Institute of Justice.
The twenty jurisdictions include large cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Houston; small localities like Mesa County in Colorado and Pennington County in South Dakota; and the State of Connecticut — collectively representing 11 percent of the nation's jail capacity. From this group, ten jurisdictions will be selected in 2016 to receive a second round of funding of between $500,000 and $2 million to implement their reform plans.
"Nearly two hundred diverse jurisdictions responded to our challenge, reflecting nationwide interest in reducing over-incarceration," said MacArthur Foundation president Julia Stasch. "Each of the sites selected has demonstrated the motivation, collaboration, and commitment needed to make real change in their local justice systems. The aim is that local efforts will model effective and safe alternatives to the incarceration status quo for the rest of the country."
For a complete list of the jurisdictions awarded grants, visit the MacArthur Foundation website.

Scotland has turn out to be the first dwelling nation to ban the sale of plastic cotton buds after new rules prohibiting their manufacture and sale got here into pressure.
The transfer has been heralded as a 'incredible win' for wildlife by the Marine Conservation Society which stated it had cleared greater than 150,000 of the plastic sticks from Scotland's seashores over the previous 25 years.
It follows an earlier outlawing of the sale and manufacture of plastic micro beads, launched in June 2018.
The ban is available in as rules laid within the Scottish Parliament in September took impact this weekend.
Scottish setting secretary Roseanna Cunningham stated: 'I'm proud that the Scottish authorities has turn out to be the first UK administration to ban plastic-stemmed cotton buds.
'Single-use plastic merchandise are usually not solely wasteful however generate pointless litter that blights our stunning seashores and inexperienced areas whereas threatening our wildlife on land and at sea.
'This ban builds on work already beneath means to deal with Scotland's throw-away tradition, and we are going to proceed to take motion on different problematic objects within the coming years as part of our efforts to cut back dangerous plastics and single-use objects, shield our surroundings and develop a thriving round economic system.'
Ms Cunningham added: 'We are going through a worldwide local weather emergency and should all work collectively to cut back, reuse and recycle to guarantee a sustainable future for the present and subsequent era.'
Major retailers started switching to paper-stemmed buds main up to the ban following robust campaigns.
A clampdown- additionally together with plastic espresso stirrers and straws comes into pressure subsequent 12 months for the remainder of the UK.
Cotton buds are commonly among the many largest seaside litter blights as listed by the Marine Conservation Society.
Their conservation officer Catherine Gemmel stated the ban was 'a incredible win for our seas and wildlife'.
She added: 'We look ahead to extra bold motion from the Scottish authorities and to working with them on additional actions wanted to cease the plastic tide.'
WWF Scotland director Lang Banks added his voice to these backing the ban.
He stated: 'Cotton buds are some of probably the most pervasive varieties of marine air pollution so a ban could be very welcome and a step and one which we hope different international locations will comply with.
'We know plastic is suffocating our seas and devastating our wildlife with tens of millions of birds, fish and mammals dying every year as a result of of the plastic in our oceans.
'Plastics are additionally discovering their means into the meals we eat and the water we drink so saving our oceans would require additional bold motion from governments, business and customers.'

Psalm 62:5-8 (NLT) Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
The most difficult part of sowing and reaping is the inactivity of waiting. The seed is planted safely under fertile soil and watered sufficiently. Now what do I do until I see its potential? I must wait. Waiting takes a little thing called patience which I was not born with. One of my earliest recollections is my grandmother lovingly but firmly telling me, "Lori Lynn, you must learn to be patient." However, historically in the church I was told whatever you do for the love of all that is holy DO NOT pray for patience. So where do I find this little genetic insufficiency called patience. Waiting. Waiting. And waiting some more. I have tried my whole life to do whatever possible to avoid waiting one moment longer than absolutely necessary. God has jokes, friend. If I pick a line at the grocery store, I can guarantee you it is behind the world's most famous coupon queen or the cashier is slower than Christmas. Do not follow me, I am prone to extended wait times. I prefer ordering lunch from the sandwich that boasts being "freaky fast" and lives up to its name. God has prescribed the perfect plan for me and it has included long arduous periods of waiting. But, I can attest to one thing – each time I have waited for the Lord, it has been worth the wait.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT) For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
Forgive me, if this sound as though I am stating the obvious but indulge me for just a few minute. Ecclesiastes 3:1 is important. It is the purpose of waiting. Everything has a season. Not some things, but all things. This is referenced in two places. Psalm 139:16 tells us that during the Creation process as God packed us with potential that He prerecorded every moment of our life. Every year, every month, every day, every hour right down to this very minute. Jeremiah 29:11 which tells us that God has a plan for us including a future and a hope. Future is not today but later. Tie it all together with the principle that God does not lie or change His Mind, and that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever – it solidifies the truth that EVERYTHING has a season.
There is a time for every activity under Heaven. Again the word "every" is used. There is not a moment of a person's natural existence that does not have the potential to yield His Purpose and His Promises in our life. Seeds of potential that must be pressed in the broken and fertile heart to produce those things that faith has promised in our life. If Romans 8:28 and Psalm 138:8 are correct, and they absolutely are, it means every moment of our life can yield God's Promises and Abundant Blessings. Every detail of our life can be made into something good no matter how terrible or tragic. God is always working to perfect those things that concern us. Everything good or bad in our life can be made right through our relationship with Jesus Christ.
The seasons of life are carefully listed in Ecclesiastes 3:2-8, while some are joyous others can be quite devastating. We celebrate life but mourn death. We complain about planting but love to reap the harvest. Killing is tragic but healing is a miracle. Tearing down is tough but building up quite rewarding. Crying is soulful pain that makes us all puffy and snotty, but doesn't laughter produce the same tears sometimes. Nobody likes the grieving process. We all love to dance even if alone when nobody is watching. Who doesn't love a hug? Parting is such sweet sorrow. There are times to hang on and times to let go. There are times to press in and times we give up. Things kept while others discarded as unwanted, unnecessary or not beneficial. Time to tear and time to mend. A time for conversation and long separations of silence. There is good and evil and so therefore love and hate. Finally, the Latin adage of "Si vis pacem, para bellum" or if you want peace, prepare for war. The Lord went to all the trouble to touch on every season of human life. God has a plan. It is a good one with a future and hope. It will always require waiting.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
In every detail of our life, God has placed a promise. God will make everything beautiful for its own time. The seeds of potential the Lord placed in us all have a set season or time for which they are entrusted. The attempt to harvest any seed prematurely will abort the potential within it. A baby born too soon, a harvest cut before it is ripe, and even a promise entrusted to God but snatched from His Hands impatiently because there is no faith to secure it. Hope is the anchor of our soul but it is not based on anything that can be seen with the human eye. It is help secure by one's ability to trust God at His Word. The good seed planted in our heart. It is called eternity. It is based on forever and a day.
Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.
Faith is defined in worldly terms as confidence and trust that is not based on proof. Tangible evidence is absent when faith is applied. Faith comes from the Latin root word "fidem" which means "to trust." The only way to engage in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is by faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Faith is referred to as a mustard seed. The smallest of seeds with the largest potential. Faith demonstrates that hope is a reality in our life. It is evidence of our belief in the unseen God to the point of entrusting our life and future to Him. Hope is to look forward to (expect or anticipate) with reasonable confidence. To believe and again to trust.
In a world of broken promises, hearts and dreams, trust is a tough commodity. It is not harvested easily from our very human heart. Yet, it is in brokenness that the promise is received. If life was great all the time and our future secure – who needs a Savior? Why make Jesus Lord? Well, life is hard. Love is cold. The future uncertain. We need a Savior because sin has devastated the life that He purposed for the people who God calls His Special Treasure. Jesus died so that our faith could harvest hope in our life. Many people believe in a God or higher power, but few truly will commit their life by faith in the Truth that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. I will not engage in such conversation. The need for a god comes from the eternity placed in each heart. Everyone searches for meaning and purpose in life based on this motivation. If my faith becomes a tree of life for me, it will become an attractive resting place for others. They will want what I have. What I have is not a law by which I cannot abide, but a book packed with promise and potential that by faith, hope and confidence trust – the Lord will produce in my life. It takes time.
Christian character is marked by three distinct qualities – faith, hope and love. The Lord is quick to point out that the greatest of these is love. Love for the Lord produced in our life gives us a distaste for sin. Why? Taste and see that the Lord is good. It is not based on my ability not to sin but avoidance of sin because I love Jesus. Christian character is not defined by doctrine or religious beliefs. This is why I do not argue with people about religious choice or how they choose to worship. No one could convince me. It is the moment in time when all there is to make the next breath possible is faith no matter how small, hope no matter how distant, and His Love that is not tangible yet perfect when something grows in me just a little. It is called confidence. Trust yields confidence in our Christian character. Trust is only possible by faith. Faith in its smallest form yields great potential.
Romans 5:1-5 (NLT) Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
The greatest test of my faith by far so far has been our son's battle with cancer. The moment when his future became negotiable in this life and solely dependent on the Lord. Truth is that life is brief and uncertain no matter how hard one tries to secure it. If only each person could see the brevity of life and let it change our priorities each day. When I came to the throne boldly, angrily, devastated and broken before my God, I recanted the commitment of my life to Him demonstrated by the things done, ways served, and daily acts of devotion. The words fell on the hard cement floor accompanying the pieces of my broken heart. Like Elijah, it was after my rant, tirade, frustration and fear emptied and silence surrounded me that I heard the Voice of the Lord. It was calm and quiet just as described, the still small voice asked, "Do you trust me?" "Of course, I do!" Thinking back, I almost hurled them back insulted by the fact that clearly God did not listen to my previous rant. Chest heaving and tears flowing, the God of the Universe asked me again, "Do you trust me?" Completely broken before my Lord, I whispered, "Yes God, I trust you!" In that moment, He said, "Your son will live and not die." This was not the end of the season, but only the beginning. It would take five years for God's Word to come to pass.
Endurance develops strength of character. Christian character is faith, hope and love. Human expectation causes us to think that our faith is vain and trust misplaced when God's Plan is not our way, our will, and in our timeframe. The one who endures to the end with faith, hope and love is saved. I added those three things to keep us focused on what we are after. If my faith is for today is not faith at all. If my hope is anything other than what I cannot see or do myself it is futile. If my love is conditional or contingent on any tangible quality of life – it's not true love. Real love. Agape love. God love.
Hope will not lead to disappointment. A farmer cultivates the field, plants his seed in fertile soil, watering and caring for it when there is no sign of harvest. He trusts that something is growing underground based on what kind of seed that he has planted. A farmer believes in the process. It is his belief that allows him to wait and not dig up the harvest while it is seed in the ground. It keeps him from leaving the field when little plants sprout up rather than the harvest that he expected. It allows him peaceful rest knowing that if just waits until it is ready that he will reap what he has sown. He knows his labor is not in vain but that timing is everything. We must be like the farmer. We must be patient. We must learn to wait for God's Promises to be ready for harvest. It is this confidence that keeps us close to Jesus through the process until the very end. It is the kind of faith and hope that opens the door to the eternity placed in our heart that satisfies our soul.
Jeremiah 29:13-14 (NLT) If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you," says the Lord. "I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land."
God's Plans for our life are always good. Never for disaster. The Lord has given you a future and hope. He has given us a desire for eternity. Forever is secure by seeking just three things wholeheartedly. Faith, hope and love that begin and end in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Word made flesh. Those who desire His Kingdom will sow seeds of faith each day. God's Word is proof of the promises that the Lord guarantees. If the tiny mustard seeds are never planted and given time to grow, how will I ever have confident hope? Hope that keeps me standing. Hope that keeps believing. Hope that endures to the end. Hope that cannot be shaken or moved by the not-so-favorable seasons of life. Hope is expectation. To look forward with reasonable confidence. Faith is only logical when confident hope causes us to trust Him more. The more we learn to trust God the greater our satisfaction, contentment and peace in this life knowing that our future is secure forever. It makes a difference. I cannot give you satisfaction, contentment or peace. I can only share what the Lord is doing in my life. My family was right. With each test of my patience and lesson in waiting – my faith in the Lord has grown into confident hope. To walk by faith and not by sight is a process developed by sowing God's Word and waiting for it to come to pass and produce the harvest for which it is intended. It takes time. It requires waiting. Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing. (James 1:2-4)
Psalm 27:13-14 (NLT) Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
What are you waiting for today? What is trying your patience? What seems to be taking forever so you are considering striking it from your prayer list? What is impossible? What dream is dying? God's Purpose for us is that our character be fully developed, perfect and complete so that we need nothing. Satisfaction and contentment are godly traits that demonstrate trust in the Lord not the evidence of life. Are you confident in God's Word today? Do you believe His Promises? Do you trust Him? Are you willing to wait for Him to make good of all the details and perfect all that concerns you?
God's Goodness is for now. His Glory is promised by placing all that I am into the person of Jesus Christ. Grace is only sufficient in our weakness. Waiting is not a weak position but the very place when His Power overtakes my life and becomes a harvest in my life. The fruit of His Spirit are not of this world. His Harvest is named love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This is what nourishes our soul and strengthens our heart to achieve the future and hope that is offered to those who invest wholeheartedly in pursuing the Lord and His Harvest. Wait for the Lord. It is a requirement as faith and hope make us confident in His Love for us. Believing God's Word means trusting Him to do exactly what it says, not backing down, giving up, or even complaining about it but waiting patiently until it comes to pass. He promises that everything will be beautiful in its own time. Everything even that thing which is ugly and seems to be dying will produce new life according to its purpose. Nothing is impossible with God! It will be worth the wait!
Psalm 20:4-5 (NLT) May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers.

Black Girl Sunscreen
BGS is one of our fully custom eCommerce store design projects.
BGS needed a site that show cased their revolutionary sunscreen product for women of color. With zero-to-no content, we were hired to completely design a starting point for their eCommerce store.
We designed the store to showcase the beautiful packaging, integrated it into Wordpress' ecommerce platform (woocommerce), and integrated the store with all the necessary technologies to ensure that Black Girl Sunscreen had a good start to their journey.

I continue to be puzzled by people who are worried about whether the initial chapters of Genesis should be read literally or figuratively.
What's more interesting — to me, any way — is the meaning of these and other ancient stories about the origin of all things.
Folklore and myth about how the world and the universe came to be may have little scientific value. But such stories do offer insights into things that science can't articulate: namely, the meaning and value that we sense in the natural order itself.
Hearing differing creation accounts — by Native Americans and others — alongside the Biblical account can be quite enlightening. That's what makes the upcoming performance by local storyteller Brian "Fox" Ellis is worth catching.
"Stories of Creation," which Ellis will perform 3 p.m. Sunday at Westminster Presbyterian Church, promises to be a highly entertaining and educational as well: full of audience interaction and music as Ellis retells Biblical, Native American and scientific accounts of how we came to be here.
The performance is free and is part of the Gretchen Iben Arts Series.

…in your computer, then all of a sudden clans started beating the drums of war in COC ad! That experience is certainly dreadful. The search engine leader paid attention to the problem. Moreover, Google says bad experience providing ads are not only the problem for the users but also a threat to the future of digital advertising industry. Consequently, Google develops a built in ad block for Chrome to save the digital advertising industry.
Google is going to bring its ad-blocking tool by 2018. In fact, the search engine giant has already told the publishers to get ready for the new ad-blocking tool. The tool will prevent all the bad experiences provided by advertisements appearing on websites.
On the other hand, to help publishers for taking preparation Google will provide a self-service tool, Ad Experience Report.
As a matter of fact, the Ad-blocking tool will actually work as an ad filter. The tool will filter out the ads that don't comply with the standard of Coalition for Better Ads.
However, for Google, the ad industry is the most crucial thing. Last year Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. earned $90 billion in revenue which is 88% of the whole revenue pie.

So much so, that he begged me for your information. He wanted to have the sameRich look that my product had. Thanks again for making my product stand out above the crowd. 8/15

Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague looks glum as she arrives home from LA as boyfriend Tommy Fury flies to Scotland
LOVE Island's Molly-Mae Hague looked glum as she arrived back in Manchester today following her trip to LA - as Tommy Fury flew to Scotland.
The influencer, 20, has been Stateside for the past week without boyfriend Tommy Fury after landing a massive £500k deal to be a brand ambassador for PrettyLittleThing.
But she didn't look too excited about being home as she was spotted walking through the airport today in a blue tracksuit with a collection of Louis Vuitton luggage – including a suitcase, holdall and bum bag, which would have set her back at least £5,000.
Tommy was nowhere to be seen and instead shared a shot of himself in a swimming pool this evening in Scotland – sending his fans wild.
Last night he made it clear how much he was missing her as he posted a cringe-worthy video singing along to 'My Girl'.
His performance might have been his way of making things up to Molly after he was spotted partying with his ex Millie Roberts this week.
Tommy, 20, was seen at the same Boohoo Man event in Manchester that his former girlfriend was also at.
Millie and Tommy dated for around ten months with Tommy saying their relationship "fizzled out" almost a year before his stint in the villa.
But according to Millie, Tommy dumped her within weeks of him jetting to Majorca to star on Love Island.
He met Molly-Mae on the show and the pair, who came second, have been inseparable up until her trip to the States.
Her deal is the single biggest paycheck any of the 2019 cast have received so far.
Most Read In TV & Showbiz
Last week Tommy revealed he can't wait to marry his blonde bombshell.
He told OK! Magazine: "When the time comes it will be very extravagant and I'd get her the nicest ring she wants.
"Whatever Molly wants she can have!
"I'm a Christian and a big believer in God; I thank God every day. It would be a big church wedding."

Knowing how to do things yourself will save you a fortune as there is always a reward, literally for the labour you put into doing something on your own.
We have all come across that situation where you take your vehicle for a simple oil change and you end up doing more than just oil change. One such man encountered the same experience where the mechanic suggested that he change his wiper blades as well. Each blade cost $12 and in total he had to spend $24. He immediately declined the offer and decided to change the wipers himself.
Getting the right wiper blades:
If you are not an expert and is not sure about what kind of wipers you should get for your vehicle, the best thing to do is to probably ask. All wipers may look the same but be assured that they are not!
It is best to head to a store that sells all kinds of auto parts or you have the option of having an excuse to head to Wal-Mart. There are associates and sales people that can surely assist you in getting the right wiper as long as you just provide the make and model of your vehicle.
There is another thing, if you decide to go to an auto repairs store which is the fact that the associates will change the wipers for free if you purchase them from the store.
How to change the wipers:
- Remove the old wipers by lifting the arm of the wiper. Press the tab the separates the wiper and the wiper arm. This will detach the old wipers.
- Attach the new wiper blade on the same location from where you detached the old wiper blade.
- Test your new wipers.
It is recommended that the wiper blades be replaced every six months or so, which would give you more opportunities to practice.

People are content with waiting for the major shopping development and the prospect of Knightsridge shops helps here – if possible, more information on plans, timing etc. – especially about the Regional Shopping Centre, would be appreciated by the tenants. Most people in the town go to Bathgate, Broxburn, Pumpherston or the major cities once a week at least to shop at present and this is not so much a reflection on the number and range of shops but on their poor quality and high prices.
Litter has been mentioned to me and on going around I notice that it mainly consists of sweet papers round about bins outside shops and along the main footpaths from shops. Maybe a schools' campaign might help. One tenant (who is probably going to buy in Bathgate) told me that her main reason for leaving the town is that the children all 'run wild' about the streets. I am afraid it seems to be a side-effect of segregated pedestrian areas that mothers can send even the very youngest children out for a whole day without worrying about them, whereas back in Glasgow they would have to watch the children carefully. As a result there are groups of children roaming about quite unsupervised. When we do get the play areas in Ladywell, might the possibility of a warden or two be considered? I noted that many children are writing a short piece on adventure playgrounds for the exhibition said that they would like 'someone to look after us' 'someone to stop the bullying' etc. Since the focal point for all these children during the day is not mother and her watchful eye, we might find another in order to prevent vandalism long-term.
It is reported that the 'workers' bus' to Glasgow is very well used and numbers continued to grow. The passengers are counted on every journey and I hope the bus company will be so convinced of demand that it may run more buses.
It is notable that I spent time with 12 families last month whose problems resulted from broken marriages. Usually the main difficulty was housing a wife and children who had no household goods and communicating with D.H.S.S. on their behalf. I can see this problem continuing as do the S.W.D. and we do not see it as satisfactory that these people are being dealt with by all agencies rather haphazardly where a great deal of suffering is involved. For instance, we have several times given a house to woman and children, leaving the husband living alone in a 4 apt house (or larger) with all the furniture. This is legally correct, but hardly a suitable solution, regardless of which partner is in the right '1/2 I feel it might be useful to meet with SWD on this perhaps bring up a few cases to consider responsibility for welfare. If DHSS could also be involved we might further clarification.

Quality: 10 out of 10 stars
Level: Experienced Surfers
Distance to Hostel: 2km
Crowds: can be crowded when perfect, not crowded with small waves
Wave: Fast take off, short, shallow tubes
Tides: High Tide
Bottom: ReefBreak
We are talking about one of the best right-handers of Europe. Due to several reasons this breath-taking adrenaline spots is nothing for beginners. First of all because its a very fast wave. If you fall in the wrong moment you can hit the shallow reef or get eaten by some of the next sets.
The reef is a real tube machine! If it get really good we don´t recommend you to go there as the locals won´t let you take any waves, and if you do so, you could get into problems (no violence, "only" shouting).
Thats why we recommend your guests to go there in smaller conditions and early in the morning. Its like a 30 min walk from our hostel, quite far but really worth it.
Apart from the surf the Confital Beach is a real, pristine beauty. If you go there during the week sometimes you will have the whole beach for you. On the weekend locals like to party there and to barbecues. Its a real canarian place with authentic atmosphere.
Bring some food with you & spend half day there after the suring. You will come back to our hostel totally relaxed!

When it comes to high fashion and good style, no one has it quite like Meghan Markle. The newly-minted Duchess of Sussex is being regarded as a fashion icon for her generation, much like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, before her.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, Meghan Markle is turning heads yet again, this time by donning an outfit chosen for her by Lady Gaga's personal stylist.
The yellow dress, which the Duchess wore to the Commonwealth Youth Forum today, was designed by Brandon Maxwell. The Duchess turned heads as her infamous "bun" made an appearance back on her head, which has become a bit of a signature look for the former Suits actress.
But Brandon Maxwell isn't just a fashion designer — since 2012, he's been picking outfits for the one and only Lady Gaga.
It's unclear how the Duchess and Maxwell met one another, or why the Duchess decided to commission him for this event.
What is known, however, is that Prince Harry was the perfect compliment to his stylish wife as he wore a sharp blue suit paired with a crisp white shirt and an olive-colored tie.
Check out some of the photos featuring Meghan Markle's new look below.

"Meghan and I are incredibly excited to meet so many of you representing the future of the Commonwealth."— The Duke of Sussex, #CommonwealthYouth Ambassador pic.twitter.com/pBrl1tjzYr— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) July 5, 2018
The getup that Brandon Maxwell designed for Meghan Markle retails for a cool $1,495 and can be purchased at most department stores.
Prince Harry was appointed the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador by the Queen earlier this year.
The Forum's goal is to "inspire young people to shape the future of the British Commonwealth," which meant they met with young representatives from Tonga, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will go on a tour of the Commonwealth this fall, and this Commonwealth Youth Ambassador event is the first of a multi-week event that aims to celebrate the talent, and contributions, of the British Commonwealth.
What's more, the Commonwealth Youth Forum helps to "build cross-cultural connections and networks, debate the challenges facing its young people, agree youth-led initiatives to influence decision-makers and ensure young people have a voice in its future," according to their mission statement.
Meghan Markle continued to make headlines, too, because of her increased affection with her husband in public — something that goes completely against the protocol of the British royal family, which forbids public affection between royal couples. However, the couple is known for bucking several stuffy traditions put forth by the British royal family, so this should come as no surprise to anyone.
