Molland, Devon, England
An article on Exmoor settlememts says that "Molland church (St. Mary) is of outstanding interest. It is a simple 15th to 16th century building, replacing an older structure of which the Norman font alone remains, together with two medieval bells. It contains a series of fine monuments to members of the Courtenay family of West Molland and a defaced medieval carving, probably of St Mary Magdalene. It is renowned for its unusually complete set of early 18th-century furnishings comprising altar with rails, pulpit, screen and box pews."
Wikimapia adds:
"This medieval church possesses a handsome structure, in the perpendicular style, with a tower and four bells. It contains several neat monuments, belonging to the Courtenay and other families. It has largely remained unchanged due to the seclusion of the village and displays examples of excellent craftsmanship from its period.
Molland church also reputedly contains the Courtenay family Heart Box. Heart Boxes were commonly associated with deaths abroad, particularly those of fallen crusaders. Where it was not viable to bring an entire body back from a hot and distant country, the heart was removed and shipped home for eventual entombment."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'France' started by soccer krazy, Jul 7, 2007.
heared Lyon and Monaco was linked to Mexes in early june
Gignac scores and his team is in the final.
Mexes scored another special goal. Insane how he made connection as the ball was very high and he timed his jump perfectly.
Just saw it. Stunning goal, I could watch it on repeat all day
Philippe Mexès is a French player that's missing ALOT OF CAPS FOR FRANCE He's an amazing centerback that nevers gets a Fcuking call up
I SICK OF THE FFF affirmative action AKA racial quotas in France it makes me sick to my stomach !
Well he didn't suit the stars alignment for crazy Raymond. And he played in Italy which he hated. The same happened to the fantastic Seba Frey.
Menez Giuly Frey Mexes Trezeguet
Just to name a few
Are you implying astrology is not a suitable tool for selecting players?
do you have some proof of this?
No proof just seems like it
Frey gave up
mexes was unlucky .. i think playing in italy is disadvantage unless if u play for juventus. there seems to be favoritism towards epl players and la liga.. for example , any arsenal french player makes the teams...
Mexes was a disaster whenever he played for Les Bleues. No affirmative action needed to dump him out of the team.
yes, I felt bad for him at the time but everyone got their chance and he chewed his into a slobbery mess.
menez got all the chance he deserved too, he diddled himself out of a spot.
frey didn't get much of a look, but it's different with keepers. and his statements hurt him more than his blunder.
I seem to remember trez' attitude not helping his case either.
giuly, flamini... never got much of a chance but neither ever seemed indispensable to me.
My take on Serie A stars is this:
I don't feel that Flamini ever had the talent deserving to get on the national team. At almost every point, there were better players ahead of him, and defensive midfield has been a position of mostly strength in the last decade. Flamini arguably had his best seasons at Arsenal, but he seemed more of a system player than one who was good individually on his own.
Mexes deserved to get called up at least to Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, I felt. At that time he was among the elite (or near-elite, top 5 at least) central defenders in Serie A, and let's face it, he was a better defender than, say, Marc Planus or his old Auxerre teammate Jean-Alain Boumsong. But at Euro 2008 the Thuram-Gallas pairing was well-established (even if it Thuram would prove over the hill, it still seemed right at that moment to keep them together since they were so good at WC 06), and at WC 2010 Domenech wanted to incorporate Abidal at center back, which didn't seem the worst idea (even though it turned out poorly). So really Mexes deserved spots on the 23-man rosters, though a starting position? As others have said, whenever he got the chance, he didn't play well and more importantly, didn't seem on the same page as the central defense partner he was paired with.
Menez had his opportunity (Euro 2012). Wasted talent. The end product was sadly always lacking, as well as the attitude.
Giuly should have been picked for Euro 2004, and arguably WC 2006 as well. But by the time he got to Serie A he was on the decline.
The two who arguably deserved a better fate, I believe, are:
When he wanted to show it, Frey showed some incredible talent as a goalkeeper. Though as guignol said, what he said and the way he acted counted against him, and he always had a quirky personality. Yes, so did Barthez but Fabien had the palmares of WC and Euro winner. On the other hand Frey wanted things handed to him. And arguably the one time it seemed the national team gloves were about to be handed to him, some guy named Hugo Lloris became a force. So really the succession, except for one tournament (Euro 2008), was as it should be: Barthez to Lloris. Then why is he in the "snubbed" column? Because he deserved better recognition than what he ultimately got. In the past decade, I truly believe he was at least among the best 3 French goalkeepers at multiple junctures. So he should have made more than one major tournament, even if it'd be as a backup.
Trezeguet, if he was willing to be a backup, was truly overlooked at both Euro 2008 and, arguably WC 2010 as well, but definitely at the former. The reason that I feel this way is that he would seem a great player to bring on at the 60th or 70th minute to bag a goal to settle or tie a match if one was trailing. He's the least wasteful of the attackers we had, and while he is so frustrating to watch when he isn't getting service (we saw that at Euro 2004), when you need a goal, is there anyone else you would rather have?
Anyway, for the present, other than Paul Pogba, Evra and possibly Kingsley Coman if he comes on strong this season, is there any other Serie A Frenchman deserving of a call-up? Kalidou Koulibaly? Not unless they add a basketball element to the game since height is the only thing he brings. M'Baye Niang? Looked a possibility in 2012-13 though he has stagnated and doesn't seem ready. You can group Mexes, Rami, Yanga-Mbiwa, Heurtaux, etc. in the same basket: decent defenders who have no shot of displacing the current batch of young central defenders we have: Zouma, Varane, Mangala, Lucas Hernandez, Umtiti, Laporte. Biabiany? Too old (27, which isn't that old although will he be getting much better?) and one trick pony (speed).
So overall, even though Serie A at its peak was where many of our greatest players plied their trade, from Platini to Papin to Zidane to Thuram to Trezeguet to Pogba, I don't think we've overlooked that many. Let's hope Kingsley Coman gets a lot of time this season and makes it to Euro 2016
Frey should have been starting ahead of the brainfart barthez though, he was always a better keeper. For a long time the only name ahead of him in Italy was Buffon. Mexes and Rami had a good thing going heading into the Euros during qualfyimg. Shame the whole teams form seemed to suffer right before the tournament.
It's pretty evident no one has gotten freezed out of the national team because they're white . The most ridiculous bit of bullshit I've read on these forums in a while.
Haven't seen you in awhile
I back, Mon frere!
Bud there's tons of bleurs and noirs on the French national team that sucks sso bad it's a ccrime wait until our Next selection I will point them out like always do
There have been plenty of players over the years that have been called up that I didn't were international caliber. Plenty, beur, noir, blanc. Singling out the minorities does nothing to prove your assertion that they are only there because they are a minority. It could be that Deschamps thinks that they're the best he's got at the moment, even if they are exactly world beaters. And frankly, it's LAUGHABLE to suggest that France, FRANCE, would go out of its way to include more noirs and beurs than would be required on merit.
In another news, Sunderland have signed Yann M'Vila on a season-long loan from Rubin Kazan lol.
what a wasted i liked M'vila

When we first started this blog, it was in response to all our friends who were saying, "How do you know about all these neat things to do?". It's a kind of repository for what we hear about, the adventures we've had, and things we'd like to check out some day.
Then, I became very excited about Twitter, Pinterest, & Facebook. Linking the accounts, trying to "increase traffic", and a few other social media buzz terms. Twitter I gave up on fairly quickly, but I thought Pinterest was pretty neat and Facebook was a great place to toss out quick pieces of information.
This year, our family has experienced a big shift away from field trips (in the past we were taking at least one a week!) toward supporting our children deeply exploring their own specific interests. Outside of a cross country trip, we've only gone on 3 outings this Fall. Unfortunately, during this time I've been feeling guilty for "neglecting" the blog and Facebook pages as well as completely abandoning our Pinterest page.
I've decided to let go of the guilt and feelings of obligation.
If there's one thing that a deeper understanding of Unschooling has taught me, it's that if it doesn't bring our family joy, it needs to go. So ~ I will stop worrying about making the posts "Pin-worthy" and trying to concentrate on whether they contain the appropriate buzz words and hyperlinks. I will stop paying for and managing a custom domain. I will stop worrying about whether or not I'm posting with the optimum frequency. I won't be linking things over to Twitter or Pinterest at all. I'll probably be on Facebook more than here simply because, for me, it's easier. I do hope that what's already here & what is posted in the future continues to be a fun & inspiring resource for you. More than anything:
Wishing you amazing and wonderful adventures in 2015!
Please note: In the time since this was posted, someone else purchased the .com domain that we used to own. We are not affiliated with that site.

Verified Voting Blog: Statement on Maryland HB706/SB919 Online Delivery and Marking of Absentee Ballots
To download the PDF click here.
Verified Voting supports Maryland House Bill 706 (Senate Bill 919) as an immediate, short-term mitigation to reduce risks inherent in Maryland's current online absentee ballot system by limiting its use to only those who would otherwise be unable to vote. Going forward, substantial changes are necessary to provide Maryland's voters with secure, reliable, accessible means of voting absentee.
Verified Voting supports the objective of helping voters to obtain their ballots and cast their votes, but any technology used for this purpose must be carefully evaluated. Regrettably, computer scientists and others have found that Maryland's system has several grave shortcomings.
Because Maryland does not check signatures on returned absentee ballots, there is no way to distinguish legitimate from illegitimate ballots. Using information that is widely available, an attacker could readily request, electronically receive (at multiple fake email addresses), and cast any number of absentee ballots.1 Even if the attacker did not cast the ballots, any voters purported to have requested absentee ballots would be required to cast provisional ballots, creating chaos and suspicion and increasing the likelihood that the voter will be disenfranchised.

Top Mumbai Model and Actress: Amruta Patki on her fitness mantra
Profile: Amruta Patki is a top model in India, former Miss India Earth 2006, former Miss Earth Air 2006, an actress in Hindi as well as Marathi films. Amruta is also a singer and a nominee of Radio Mirchi Music Awards 2013 as best debut singer.
I am actually at a loss for how to even introduce this beautiful and very down to earth Mumbai model. Maybe the best thing is to just start with how I met her. I was browsing twitter one day and the photographer who had done my own portfolio had posted some very nice pictures of Amruta. I became curious and started browsing her Twitter feed and saw post after post about yoga, workouts, pictures of her dinners, favorite foods, etc and became intrigued. So for a few weeks, I just watched…and one day, she posted a picture of her after a workout and I was floored. There was no size zero..there was no waif like model, here was a SUPER FIT and healthy girl who had achieved so much in her only 27 years of age.
#selfies #workout #eatwell #fitness http://t.co/LmZKVZD0DJ—
Amruta Patki (@amrutapatki) June 12, 2013
So I thought, let me try my luck. Not expecting too much, I tweeted her for an interview. I kid you not, she responded within MINUTES and agreed. At that point, I still expected some starry attitudes or didn't really expect the interview to happen. Seriously, she was SO easy to respond to my emails, gave me her mobile number right away and we finally were able to speak on the phone . I had promised her I would only take 15 minutes of her busy schedule; she talked with me for almost 45 minutes! And that too, so friendly with all levels of honesty and absolutely no clichéd answers.
So without further ado, I am HONORED to bring you Amruta's very honest and very interesting past and present fitness &health mantra:
1) Question: Amruta, how do you stay away from the pressure of size zero being in the fashion and movie industry? Isn't it a common misconception that models are waif like and starve to be accepted? Have u ever felt that you needed to change ?
Answer: I believe that all things should be balanced. Input into the body and output from the body should be balanced. I maintain a good diet, eat in moderation, but burn it out. Everything in the universe should be balanced by input vs output and that includes the mind and body.
I definitely do not starve myself because I am a TOTAL foodie. In the last 7 years, I have traveled to over 24 countries for my work and have tried cuisines in all parts of the world (Japanase, African, Indonesian, Malaysian, etc). So I allow myself to binge and eat and have fun. However, to balance the days I do this, I cleanse myself for the days I do not binge. I believe in only home remedies and Ayurveda and so I follow the principles of Ayurveda to ensure I output the toxins from my body.
For example, if I have a shoot coming up, or I have binged with friends the night before, I take to the following routine the next morning and every day until my next indulgence:
1. Be very careful of what I eat for the next few days
2. Drink a lot of hot water first thing in the morning (cleans the system)
3. Avoid carbs the whole day ( no rice or roti for the next 2-3 days)
2) Question: So what do you eat when you are being careful of your diet?
Answer: I am a non-vegetarian and I eat chicken, eggs, fish and now recently, I started eating red meat once in a while. I am very careful of this as it is high in cholesterol and makes a person's personality quite aggressive (you are what you eat concept). In addition, I take an Ayurvedic supplement called Triphala. Since I am traveling quite a bit and am forced to eat out during this time and also an insomniac (which contributes to acidity),
For more information on Triphala, see:
I also have cultivated a liking to Green tea. I did not like this before, but after I saw how much it improves the skin and I start feeling healthier and lighter, I have started enjoying it more!
The one food group I stay away from are desserts. I LOVE desserts but I stay away from them because they are an absolute ADDICTION. As long as I stay away from desserts, my mind doesn't ask for them, however , once you start, then the mind remembers it and it is harder to not indulge. So I try and stay away from that.
If I am getting ready for a shoot, I switch myself to Nachni or Oats roti and then stick to a very light dinner such as Salads or a glass of butter milk or a milk shake with little bit of honey. This diet keeps me light and allows me to have a nice flat stomach if I have to show it for my shoots or modeling assignments
(Info on the Nachni grain, aka Ragi, is found here:
3) Question: Do you have a dietician to plan your charts? Or do you just know what to do yourself?
Answer: I Used to have a dietician in the past, but now I know my body really well and what ti responds to, and no one can know my body like I do, so I take care of my diet myself now.
4) Question: You tweeted once that you lost 2 KG in 10 days. Tell me the secret!? How do YOU manage this? Is it diet or exercise like crazy?
Answer: I believe that your weight loss is 70% diet and only about 30% exercise. If you are eating badly, you can workout like crazy and not see results. I only workout for one hour a day. I don't know why some people log 3-4 hours a day. So, for the times I want to quickly lose 2kg, I will do the following changes to my diet:
a) I completely cut OUT carbs at night and I cut DOWN on carbs during the day.
For r meals like lunch I may have 1 roti+veggie sabizi + salad or fish
b) About 3-4 hours after lunch, I will have an evening meal like sukha bhel, some fruit, 1 idli
c) I mostly do as much liquids as I can for dinner. For example, I will drink 200ML water before I start my meal and then have 2 bowls daal.
I even did a detox diet for about a week where I had UNLIMITED fruits all day.
5) Question: Wow! So isn't this difficult? Don't you get hungry!?
Answer: Yes, it is very difficult, especially the first day or so. Then, your body gets used to this. But you need to be very mentally strong to do something like this. So you really need to want to do this. Also, people with extremely healthy bodies can do this (perfect blood reports, and physically very fit). I would not recommend anyone to do this and definitely NOT for an extended period of time. It can definitely hurt people with illnesses.
However, at the end and after a few days, I noticed, my skin was GLOWING as my body purged the toxins , my hair was great, all the toxins were gone and surprisingly I was not was not weak at all as someone may think as u get natural sugars from the fruits so u have energy.
I hardly pushed my body to work out during this time. So by the end of 10 days, I lost 2 kg fat and 2 kg muscle.
One interesting thing is that once you are done and you go back ON food, you must do it very slowly. A friend of mine did this with me and started eating normally straight away and her body rejected regular food. Once your body gets used to raw foods, it needs to be introduced to foods slowly. If you take care of what you eat and stick with raw foods, you can lose about 6-7 KG in a month.
6) Question: What are your workouts like? I notice you have all kinds of days when you tweet on twitter?
Answer: I keep pushing my body to do different things. For cardio, I like running and cycling. I also do weight training, Pilates and definitely yoga I make sure to keep it to 1 hour a day and not more than that.
7) Question: Talk to me about how you got into Miss India and won Miss India Earth 2006 and went on to be a finalist during the Miss Earth pageant. Did you workout? (BTW, I loved her answer to this question because it is really inspiring):
Answer: I always wanted to be in entertainment industry in some way. When I was growing up, I had huge inferiority complex being as tall as a "giant". So when I got to college and I was asked to participate in a fashion show, I decided to try it. This fashion show was choreographed by a professional photographer. Once I walked for it, he asked me to participate in a Miss Mumbai contest.
One thing to know is, I studied in the Marathi medium in school, so I was not fluent by any means at the time in English. So I was apprehensive of going into a contest and getting on stage, how would I talk in fluent English. But, I went keeping in mind that they would pick me on my beauty and looks, not how well I could speak English. I won that pageant and Hemant Trivedi saw my pictures. Hemant is my guru, my mentor and where ever I am today, I owe it to him.
So I was asked if I wanted to shoot for Hemant Trivedi and I shot for the clothing store Sheetal. He aso groomed me during this time by advising me to start workouts, watch English movies, look on the internet to see pageants, do research on my own on how to walk, how to talk. And then he told me to come for the Miss India auditions.
I believe going for Miss India was destiny as the universe was giving me signs. 1 month prior to auditions was signed up with Pantaloons to be their brand ambassador. And guess what? Pantaloons was sponsoring Miss India that year. So everyone was very excited that I was going to be part of Miss India and I won Miss India Earth that year. I can also speak a VARIETY of languages that helped me such as Konkani, Panjabi, Hindi, English, Gujurati (She spoke to me in PERFECT Gujurati) and Marathi.
(Trust me I was blown away by her admission of not having learned English in school, her English was so perfect, I would never have guessed she self learned).
Then Miss Earth was about 6 months after I won Miss India, so I was put through workouts and dieted for it, worked on my skin and hair as well. At that time, since I did not know my body the way I know it now and I did not work out as much then, it really pushed my body and was quite difficult. I know my body now and I gain weight quite easily. For example, if I just binge for a week or 10 days, I can easily gain 1.5 KG. However, fortunately I can also lose just as quickly. So I have to be careful for events.
8) Question: You are in a profession where it is cut throat, a path full of potential disappointments, criticism. The news today is filled with Jiah Khan's suicide and that some girls just cannot handle it.
How do you keep your mind calm on a daily basis and through these tough times?
Answer: I am very spiritual and by that I don't mean religious. I believe that there is some form of energy in the universe and to just love and respect people.
You have your own expectations for yourself, and everyone has a destiny and in this rat race in the industry you really just have to be happy, and move on if u don't get there because it is not the end of the world. It could be you are maybe destined for something else.
So when I find myself with less work or not having the projects I want, I stay positive and optimistic and make sure I keep busy with friends. Or I enroll in courses that help me. Recently I did the art of living course which was great. Also, every year in June a mountain trip is a MUST for me and is like fuel In fact, I just came back from one. It allows me to be within and see Nature, eat health and meditate.
9) Question: Who is Amruta Patki's favorite celebrity?
Answer: I really like Deepika Paudakone. I find her hot and she is always looking so put together and she can carry anything. If I see her at press conferences in jeans and a top or at functions in saris or she is shooting in a bikini or shorts, she NEVER looks unclassy. She can carry off anything with style and class.
10) Question: What is next for you?
Answer: Well, I have done modeling, done Marathi films, I just did a song for a Malayalam film (coming out this week!), am looking into Telugu offers. I did a Bollywood film which didn't go for me as I had hoped, so now I am being very choosy with what offers are coming my way. I have to make sure it is right and I don't want to take my attention away from the modeling industry. Once you are out of sight, it is very hard to get back in, so I have to make sure whatever I do does not affect my fashion career.
Well Amruta, here's to see you soon in many more movies and hopefully something fun in Bollywood too! Thank you Amruta for such an AWESOME interview and I will surely call her next time I am in Mumbai as she has promised me a coffee together I have added some links of Amruta's website and videos of her I found interesting:

Transcend Coffee & Roastery
Claro de Luna translates to Moonlight which we feel is appropriate for this silky, delicate coffee from the La Coipa district in northern Peru. The coffees are grown, harvested, washed and dried by farmers around the town of Rumipite Bajo who then deliver their freshly dried parchment to Origin Coffee Lab. Coffees that pass physical and sensorial quality checks by the team at Origin are either kept completely separate to be sold as microlots or blended together with other coffees from the same area to create community blends. Origin Coffee Lab started working with Mr. Milciades Minga in the area in 2017, and since then he has brought 20 other small farmers in the area together to work with Origin. Each farmer has on average only 2 hectares of land for coffee, and each produces about 20 sacks of green coffee per harvest. This regional blend reflects the communal approach to production that these farmers share. Although the coffees are grown and harvested in individual farms, whole communities come together to share resources and labour.
Origin Coffee Lab was started in 2017 by José Rivera to show the world that the reputation that Peruvian coffee had was outdated. Not only is Peru already producing some excellent coffees, but there is the potential to produce so much more. He believes that the best way to realize this potential is through establishing trust with producers who have been at the mercy of unfair markets for too long. This trust is developed over time through being able to pay consistent prices and helping to manage quality. Trained agronomists provide assistance with agricultural practices, and quality control staff evaluate the coffee and provide feedback on harvest and processing practices. Claro de Luna is a testament to how well this process has been working.

The death of an elderly diabetic woman following a slapping therapy workshop is currently being investigated by the police. The death of Danielle Carr-Gomm in a hotel in Wiltshire (UK) is being treated as suspicious, and three people were arrested in connection with the case and later released on bail.
Another case was reported in Australia. A man and woman have been charged with manslaughter following the death of a six-year-old diabetic boy who had attended a 'workshop' in Sydney in April 2015. Police now say gross negligence led to the boy's death and both Geoff Fenton, 56, and Lily Fenton, 41, will appear in court in the coming months.
What is slapping therapy?
Slapping therapy is a controversial Chinese 'therapy' also known as the paida lajin method. According to The Guardian, one of the persons arrested in the Wiltshire case was probably Hongchi Xiao, a Chinese therapist who developed the "therapy". He was also at the centre of controversy surrounding the boy's death in Sydney. So what exactly does "slapping therapy" involve and why is it so dangerous?
Slapping therapy to 'purge toxins'
Hongchi Xiao advocates slapping as a way to purging toxins from patients. They should either be slapped repeatedly or slap themselves on different parts of their body – the heads and the join areas in particular. They should continue with this "self-healing method" until the skin starts looking bruised. The workshops also involve doing stretches against the walls or on the floor.
Hongchi Xiao details his approach in a book published in 2009 and entitled "The World of Medicine: The Paida Lajin Self-Healing Method". He has since then conducted workshops in parts of Asia but also in the US, Australia and Germany.
Paida lajin takes its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. It is based on the idea that the blood can be poisoned by toxins, but that these toxins can be expelled.
Seeing the skin turning red as a result of slapping is seen as a confirmation that the body is releasing the bad toxins trapped in the blood and a sign of "latent diseases" affecting the individual.
Why it is dangerous
The method has no scientific basis despite the claims that it can treat a lot of different conditions. There are no rigorous scientific studies that bring evidence that slapping therapy can actually improve the symptoms of chronic illnesses, let alone cure them.
A few examples taken from the testimonial sections of a website dedicated to slapping therapy illustrate how dangerous the method can be. Some people who have gone through the treatment claim it has healed their cancers and encourage other cancer patients to try it. Others say they have stopped taking their medicines after discovering paida lajin. Parents have also shared stories of how they have slapped their children to relieve them from stomach pains, high-fever induced convulsions or the flu.

THE issue of availability of foreign currency to Zimbabwe's mining companies is being addressed, according to Zimbabwe's Minister of Mines Winston Chitando, but he said details could not be revealed at this stage.
Chitando was speaking at a 'Spotlight on Zimbabwe' seminar organised by strategic risk firm Africa Practice & law firm Webber Wentzel at the Mining Indaba being held in Cape Town.
His comments follow a barrage of complaints from the country's gold miners in particular that they were not being allowed to keep enough of their hard currency earnings from gold sales to sustain their operations.
Instead, they were being paid the bulk of their revenues in bond notes or zollars which had a nominal face value of parity with the US dollar, but which had plummeted in value over the past few months and now traded at around three to one US dollar.
In November, RioZim announced it had shut down three of its gold mines after running out of the hard currency required to buy consumables and spare parts for its operations.
Asked what exactly the Zimbabwean government could do about the foreign currency situation given reports that the country was nearly bankrupt and on the verge of a new bout of hyperinflation, Chitando replied: "There will be a statement by the Reserve Bank governor any day now and it would be improper for me to release insights into what he is going to say".
"But Government is fully aware that the issue of foreign currency retention has to be addressed," Chitando added.
Panel member Sheila Khama, a lead mining specialist, energy and extractives for the World Bank stressed the importance of transparency in the Zimbabwe government's dealing with business. Khama proposed a modification of Chitando's mantra of "Zimbabwe being open for business" to one of Zimbabwe "is open for open business".
However another panel member, Colin Chibafa, CFO for Anglo American Platinum's Unki mine, commented that: "Our approach has been that if you raise issues in private you get a lot more of a listening ear than through trying to raise them in public".
"That's how we have managed to navigate Zimbabwe and keep our mine operational."
Referring specifically to the country's indigenisation proposals, Chibafa commented: "Asking an investor to be a minority shareholder yet take all the risk in terms of putting up capital … that scenario does not work".

text: JakeWilson - Member Posted August 29, 2018 Hi guys, I want to start off by saying that I fucking love WOT, its a great series that is up there in my opinion with GOT due to its ability to flesh-out characters, create varied and unique societies that are unlike anything I've seen before in fiction or if their are similar ones then they are done in such a way that they are wholly unique... But... over the entire series and once I completed AMOL all in the span of a year it dawned on me that in my own mind I was thinking about minor/major changes that I would have made. Now I know that this might be an uncomfortable topic for some but if anyone has had any ideas on either minor/major changes they thought of and believe would have made a better WOT then I am beyond keen to hear them. Once again I love WOT but there is always room to make a more coherent story and avenues that might have made it more interesting. So using the templates of the Main Characters I will give you guys rough ideas of what I came up with: Rand = Really Rand's story was the most fleshed out compared to the others and is solid (mostly), so I would keep it basically the same until we come to LOC, only changing that he meets Min under Seachan controlled Almoth Plain where the two sleep together before the assault on Falme. After Rand has been kidnapped by the White Tower Dumai Wells happen similarly except that Rand is unable to break the shield over him and is rescued instead. Once Perrin is gone and Rand is by himself surrounded by the armies of Tear, Cairhien & Aiel, here Rand would take become way more active in the war against Sammuel leading the armies against Illian instead of against the Seachan which would culminate in a fair duel between Sammuel and Rand where Rand (of course) wins. Afterwards Rand cleanses the Source Above Shadar Logoth and uses the combined efforts of the Black Tower, White Tower Rebel's, Aiel Wise Ones & an small force of Windfinders that combat the Forsaken and take heavy losses even though they Cleanse the Source. When Rand awakes he is in a manor of a minor noble inbetween Tear and Cairhein where people have been flocking to ever since the battle, Rand recuperates there for over a month and in that month a shanty-city encroached the manor as a city is starting to be formed, a city the people are calling Dragon's Rest. Here Rand comes to realise just how his actions have affected the world considering that he has fused Tear and Cairhein so tightly that they have become on nation under his banner. Instead of going to Arad Doman Rand decides to start preparations for the Last Battle as he enacts a conscription where all people are taught to fight or aid in the Last Battle. As he is doing this Elayne takes the throne of Andor, she is successful but the rebels siege the city and during this time she gives birth, hours after she gives birth to her twins she is murdered by an assassin. Once he hears of this Rand travels to Andor and confronts the new monarch before blasting her away with Balefire, during this period of mourning Elayne's mother comes back and is raised to Queen by popular vote. As Rand looks out onto his baby children Min comes and shows him that she has had a son that is 3or4 yrs old and that it is his son from their time before the assault on Falme, even though he becomes aware of his children though he spirals further down the dark path where Rand being absent for half of the Last Battle after Min is killed by a Forsaken, Aveinda also gives birth to a baby that is Rand's which only adds to his stressors as he is worried that now she might be a target which all culminating in that epic scene of Rand atop Dragonmount, except that his children are also part of the reason. It is then that Rand approaches the Seachan and knells before the throne, bringing them into the conflict they are able to take Demandred's forces as a combined force of Rand, Mat, Perrin & Lan kill him. In the aftermath before marching on Shayol Ghul Rand sets down the Dragons Peace which the leaders sign in the hopes that the countless deaths are already worth the price, once all is signed and the Aiel have taken soul responsibility for enforcing. Marching with the Army of Light they come to Thankan'dar where a sea of trollocs and myraddral rolled-over each as they raced towards them from the ramshackle city in numbers that blackened the landscape. The horn is blown reviving all of those who had laid down their lives in the fighting since the Last Battle began including the Amyrlin Seat, with a force unlike anything the world had ever known before. With Rand at the lead and an inability to create Gateways this close to the Dark One they Army of Light charges with the Aiel racing behind Rand and being the first to collide with the sea of Trolloc's, they fight their way to Shayol Ghul and once inside things play out much like in the books, except he takes Avienda in and as he fights the Dark One Avienda gives her life to defend Rand. After defeating the Dark One and switching places with younger Ishmael who has been careful to show his face often wearing a mask to hid his youth, Rand now powerless as his part of the pattern is complete turns his attention to his children, he poses as a court advisor in Andor and becomes a surrogate father to them using his knowledge garnered from a lifetime of fight to help mould them into the best them they can be, not only for themselves or their people but also for the world and the pattern. Perrin = Perrin's story is well known for lagging in certain bits so this is me trying to do him justice, his story remains mostly the same until TDR with the only minor changes that he bumps into Faile in Camlyn in EOTW when they randomly bump into each other on the street, no words are passed but she admires him before Lord Luc calls her name. They meet again in TGH in Cairhein when Rand, Perrin & Matt attend a gala for nobles and there Faile is dancing, on seeing Perrin she immediately breaks from her current partner and goes for him once on the dancefloor the two share flirty dialogue as at the corner of the room Lord Luc speaks with the nobles of the land. During TDR Perrin with the Sheinaran's, Moiraine Sedia & Lan track after Rand but go through Ghealdan a budding new Nation where they are forced to attend another gala, Perrin is particularly of interest considering his eyes and how he carries himself and it is during the meeting with the Queen of Ghealdan that Cadsuane Sedia shows that she is at the court. Shortly after the gala finishes Moiraine hurries to leave as she makes Lan and Perrin duck-out in the middle of the night leaving the Sheinaran's. The rest of TDR is extremely similar except that Faile is absent, at Tear he is spiked by the Angreal and is sent to the Wolf-Dream where he fights his way out and defeats a pack of Darkhounds as they are susceptible to attacks from the Wolf-Dream. In TSR he still heads back to the Two-Rivers with Loial but also with a battalion of Stone Dogs who were sent by the Wise Women to watch his back. There they find what they find in the books except that Lord Luc is accompanied by a large party one of this party being Faile & an already large amount of refugee's who have fled the unrest along the West Coast. Faile and Perrin continue flirting whenever they are close together (Much to Lord Luc's dismay) and she helps him free the people of Edmunds Field from the Whitecloaks, due to the conditions any metal that is found is smelted and forged into spears and square-plated armour as the Aiel teach the Two-Rivers how to fight with the spear. Through the Wolf-Dreams Perrin is able to wound Laam whose eyes glow the gold of a wolf and proves that Lord Luc is a Darkfriend which even takes Faile and some of the others in the party by surprise, they fight off the Trolloc horde as done in the book with reinforcements from the other villages of the Two-Rivers. Although Perrin is absent for the next book, in LOC it is shown that he has maintained the peace of the Two-Rivers as the people are flourishing with the refugee's skills and crafts whilst the Aiel who survived continue to teach a large force of Two-Rivers men how to fight with spear creating a fight-force for Manetheren Reborn which also utilises their signature longbow. Perrin still feels the Ta'veren pull and takes his force to find Rand, they come to Cairhein and find that he has been kidnapped prompting Perrin to take charge and force all of the different fractions under Rand to unite, rallying an army to match any other they depart for Dumai Wells were everything happens similarly except that Perrin rescues Rand and captures most of the Aes Sedia. For a month afterwards they recover in Cairhein, under Rand the Aes Sedia are treated terribly almost to the point where he considers collaring them but Perrin cannot stomach this and confronts Rand openly in front of the court, during the course of the argument they almost come to blows and Perrin decides to leave but Rand rebuffs him and gives him an impossible task, defeat the Seachan's Re-Invasion of the West Coast as they have invaded Tarabon, Almoth Plain & Arad Doman then further tasks him with brining him the Prophet. Perrin leaves with Faile, as many Aes Sedia as he can save, a large squad of Ashamann, Berelain & her administration, Manetheren, Aiel, Tairen, Cairhein & anyone who has slightly annoyed Rand in the past few months. Over the Course of a month their forces Travel to the West Coast, through Berelain's adeption at the Game of Houses and his advisors he is able to attraction attention of rebel factions which include Dragonsworn. A meeting is made and he meets the Great Captain Rodel Ituralde and through a fractured alliance they force Perrin to prove himself, with his retainer Perrin obtains the members of the Merchant Council right out of Seachan hands & liberates the Diarchy of Tarabon, thus proving himself to the rebel fractions. together they unite and push out the Seachan sending them all the way back into the sea and greatly endearing Perrin to the nations of the West Coast. throughout this period Perrin experiments with the Wolf-Dream and more than once comes across Isam, through conversation Perrin finds out that Isam is a Malikeri Wolfbrother who sided with the Shadow. Once peace is restored to the West Coast an anonymous letter arrives asking all lords to meet at Falme, during the ride there Faile admits to Perrin that she is pregnant and has been since they first came to the West Coast months prior. At Falme a mysterious carriage arrives followed by a large retainer of extremely beautiful people and stepping out of the carriage Graendal sets weaves upon the men, due to her pregnancy the weaves do not work on Faile and taking actions she engages in a fight with Graendal where she is able to cut her head off since Graendal is not a fighter compared to other Channelers, once dead her weaves fade and her true extremely overweight and ugly form is shown as she wore a constant façade. The tale of Faile the Forsaken-Slayer spreads far across the land reaching Ghealdan and Amadicia even before they do, Perrin and Faile march into Jehannah and find a city that is a shadow of its former self under the Prophets merciless army even though there is only a tiny bastion there as the rest are fighting as another faction within the Children Of Light's Civil War sparked by Pedron Nhial's death between the white-cloaks and red-cloaks. the Prophets people flee as the Aiel chase them away and once inside the city he meets with the new Queen, an agreement is struck where he will quell the Prophet and his Dragonsworn making sure that the Dragon himself will make them accountable for the horrific crimes they have committed, this compels the Queen to bend the knee to Perrin as forfeits her monarchy and hands it to Manetheren. The Prophet meets with Perrin and unannounced to Perrin Mesma's legions are fortified by Shaido Aiel who claim to be sent from the Dragon Reborn to help unite the world, Mesma does not believe Perrin when he tries convincing him what they have done and instead states that their two armies will go to war. As Perrin is going back to his army to prepare for a battle he is set upon by White-cloaks now lead by Galad, like in the books he is set to trial which all goes extremely similarly. After the trial Perrin's advisors try to get him to move the army away from the Dragonsworn as they alone have nearly twice their own numbers, but figuring out that the White-cloaks being so close would be unbearable to Mesma Perrin and his forces surprise attack the Prophet's forces when they are surprise attacking the White-cloaks before they are all set upon by hordes of Trolloc's as Lord Luc leads them. Beating out the Trolloc's and fight off Lord Luc, the Shaido and Dragonsworn bend the knee to Perrin and knowing what will happen to them under Rand he agrees to save them as he absorbs them into his own army, and due to his actions the White-cloaks reluctantly change their opinion about Perrin Goldeneyes before they continue their march to Andor. For KOD Perrin marches his forces back to Manetheren and consolidates power there, with the aid of the Aes Sedia they access the ancient halls built into the mountain and take the heights as their capital where they are also able to create stationary Waygates that are always active and other marvels. Amador now monarchy-less also bend the knee to Perrin as they want the safety his Aiel-trained army can provide. Faile gives birth whilst there and seeing the state of the world and the never-ending clouds Perrin calls a Summit for all people of the Light all across the known and unknown parts of the world. The summit is attended by the nations of the wetlands, Aiel & Atha'an Miere clans, and others further beyond which includes the Dragon Reborn and the Seachan, the summit is successful mostly to unite the people and although there is hurt feelings as the Queen of Andor demanded that Manetheren relinquish themselves over to Andor but Perrin denied they are all still marching towards the Last Battle without a few key players. AMOL is similar for Perrin as he is using the Wolf-Dreams to cover great masses of land at once and is witnessed being on every battlefield, as he is hunting Slayer who has been risen to Forsaken. helping defeat Demandred Perrin with Faile by his side signs the Dragon's Peace and marches for Shayol Ghul, as the dead return after the horn is blown wolves muscle their way through the Army of Light and take their destined place at the front lines of the Last Battle as their howls become the battle cry that invigorates the Army of Light to charge against the sea of Trolloc's. during the battle Perrin and Slayer seek each other out as their fight bounces between the Wolf-Dreams and reality until Perrin brings his hammer down on Slayer's head killing both Isam and Lord Luc. After the Last Battle there is no need for Perrin to go searching for Faile as she has been fighting beside him the whole time officially being married once the Last Battle is finished by the Amyrlin Seat with their 1yr old baby and friends in attendance which happens just before Rand's body dies. I also am keen to do a few others but underestimated how much I was going to write, but before I continue on I am extremely interested to know your guys thoughts and ideas?

Les Mis: good story and epic music but super hard to follow. Also takes itself way too seriously. B-
Hamilton today
Quote from: catastrophe on April 28, 2019, 09:01:24 AMHamilton today Hamilton: lives up to the crazy hype but doesn't necessarily exceed it. The song for all dialogue is awesome and doesn't feel forced at all like Les Mis does at times, but that also means you can miss some important storyline details if you're not paying close attention. Definitely a bit of American exceptionalism which I am a sucker for when it comes to the revolutionary war. I also think that could push it to become a classic musical over time.
Dear Evan Hanson: great story with OK music. I think it deserved the critic acclaim. Not something I'd really expect to stay relevant 10-20 years from now, but that doesn't diminish it for me. Some of the themes hit a lot more close to home if you're a parent. Probably downright scary if you're a parent of teenagers.

Limbaugh Laughs at Trump's Suggestion Cruz-Kasich Alliance Is 'Criminal'
For as neutral as Rush Limbaugh has professed to be in the Republican race, he couldn't keep from laughing at Donald Trump's declaration earlier today that the "colluding" Ted Cruz and John Kasich are doing is somehow criminal.
Trump reacted to his rivals teaming up against him by bizarrely linking it to businessmen going to jail if they "collude." This was such an absurd comparison, Limbaugh started laughing.
"I can't let that go by!" he cried. "Am I just supposed to sit here and ignore that?!… There is no criminal enterprise here!"
He mocked Trump supporters a little bit and snarkily said, "I guess you can never co-sponsor legislation again because you're colluding."

Laura Klasek is a sixth-year graduate student in Plant Biology at the University of California, Davis. In her fifth-grade science class, she learned her first definition of photosynthesis: "sunlight plus water plus carbon dioxide yields food for the plant and oxygen for us." She continues to be inspired by the endlessly fascinating process of how plants produce the raw materials from which they craft every part of themselves and supply us heterotrophs with what we need to survive. She received her undergraduate degree from Hendrix College, where she double-majored in Biology and English with a creative writing focus. Her undergrad research investigated how seeds move to new environments and if some modern North American plants, like the American persimmon and pawpaw, may have relied on extinct mammals like Mastodons to distribute their seeds. As a graduate student at UC Davis, she joined Dr. Kentaro Inoue's lab and, since his unexpected death, continues her research with Dr. Steven Theg. Her project examines how the photosynthetic apparatus of the chloroplast develops, specifically how proteins are targeted and folded within the chloroplast, to facilitate improvements in how efficiently plants use light, water, and nutrients. Beyond her benchwork, she endeavors to improve mentorship for graduate students by developing new resources for her graduate program and for younger students interested in science. She was a 2018-2019 Conviron Scholar, and she currently serves as the early career researcher (ECR) representative to ASPB's Program Committee.

1. Introduction
My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, today I have the privilege to once again proclaim the Gospel of our Lord to you. Our theme for this sermon is: The preaching of the Gospel: the preachers of the Gospel.
First of all, for the sake of the children, let's remind ourselves of the story of David and Absalom his son. 2Samuel 18 records the rebellion of Absalom against his father, King David. Absalom was ready to kill his own father so he could become king. David fled the city of Jerusalem and eventually crossed the Jordan. Absalom sacked Joab as commander of the army and replaced his with a man of his own choice. Joab remained faithful to David. The men who gathered in rebellion against David pursued them. Under the command of Joab, David's men engaged in battle against the army of Absalom in the Forest of Ephraim. We know the story of how Absalom's hair got stuck in the thick of a tree where Joab drove his javelin through him and he died.
In the meantime David was waiting in the city for news from the battlefront. Two messengers ran to the city to tell David the news of what had happened, and that Absalom had been killed. One of the men who ran back with the news was Ahimaaz, son of Zadok, the priest. He thought if anyone he should be bringing the good news. But Joab commanded a Cushite, and he immediately started running. Ahimaaz couldn't help himself and also started running. As these men ran home, one after the other, and they were spotted by the watchman, David said, "They must be bringing good news." (2Samuel 18:25, 27).
With this in mind, as were the custom then in times of war, runners running along the mountains from the battlefront were the bringers of good news. Prophets and ministers of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ are seen as those with the good news, sent by God, running to tell about the victory of Jesus Christ of hell, sin and Satan.
The four last worship services we heard about different aspects of the Gospel of the Lord. We heard about the effect of the Gospel, the demand of the Gospel and the content of the Gospel and then the Lord of the Gospel: we understood from the Bible that Jesus Christ, as the origin of all things and therefore also of the Gospel, is at the same time the main theme of the Gospel.
This morning we ask the question: "What does the preaching of the Gospel entail?" What do ministers do when they preach when they preach? Who are ministers and who gives them the right to preach? When the people of God hear the Gospel preached by the ministers called by God, why should their reaction be?
2. Ministers of the Gospel: mouthpieces of the Jesus Christ
Let's start with this question: Who are ministers and who gives them the right to preach?
The Bible is clear about the fact that God calls people to the ministry of the Word. God ordained certain tasks for certain people and He also equips and empowers them to fulfil their ministry. God specifically called Moses to be a mediator between Him and his people. God called the sons of Aaron to be the priests. God called specific people to be the prophets of his Word to the people, and He ordained that there would be elders who would lead the people.
2.1 Korah, Dathan and Abiram
There was a day in the history of Israel when some rebelled against Aaron and Moses. They were not happy with the idea that they had to submit to the authority of these men. Listen to what they said:
They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?" (Numbers 16:3)
Now, they were not wrong in what they said in the first part of their statement. The whole community was holy, everyone of them, and the Lord was with them. That was and still is the absolute truth about the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
When the people left Egypt and they were summoned by the Lord to gather at the foot of the Mountain of the Lord, before the Law was given to them, the Lord declared to them:
You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites. (Exodus 19:4-6)
Indeed, they were called God's holy nation and a kingdom of priests. But it also true that the Lord commanded that Aaron and his sons would be the priests who would to the service around the altar. It was not the prerogative of every man to do so. The service of the priests on their behalf, and the sacrifices offered on their behalf by the Levites was accounted to them as if they did it themselves.
In the same way the Lord Jesus Christ gave his life for us as the sacrifice which was pleasing to God, we stand before Him as his children – but only in the Name of Christ, and only on account of his sacrifice.
The mistake Korah, Dathan and Abiram made was to assume the authority God ordained for the priests only to appear on behalf of the people onto themselves. When Moses and Aaron did their appointed duties they saw it as if these men were elevating themselves above the rest as if they were more important. This was not the case. They only obeyed the command of the Lord.
God dealt with these rebels; they went alive into the ground through and earthquake and 250 others were swept away in fire.
2.2 Messengers called and sent by God
This very same principle is continued into the New Testament. The Apostle Paul asks this question in Romans:
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10:13-15)
Here he quotes a verse from Isa 52:7. The feet of those who proclaimed the Word of God were those called and sent by God to be His mouthpiece to the people. God appoints ministers to preach the Word. God calls and enables them for this task. God sends them out to be his mouthpiece with the Gospel, the Living Word of the Lord.
The backdrop of all the charges against the people in the time of Isaiah was exactly that they lent and ear to anyone who proclaimed himself a prophet. The Word of God is clear in many passages: Not anyone can go to the people as prophet, and no prophet may proclaim anything else that what God charged him to proclaim.
Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the Lord. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 23:32)
There were some prophets not send by God. They had no authority from God, their message was a phony message which led the people astray to the point that they could not distinguish between the false and the appointed prophets of God.
2.3 Paul and the Apostles
In the case of the Apostle Paul he refers to himself as "a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the Gospel of God." (Rom 1:1). So then, when in Colossians 1:24-25 he refers to his ministry in Jesus Christ for the sake of the Church, he clearly wants all to understand that he was doing God's work. He actually puts it more specifically in verse 25:
I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— (Colossians 1:25)
God commissioned him. What did God commission him with? The task to present the Word of God. Only bits and pieces of the Word? No, in its fullness.
The Church through the ages understood this to be an ordination of God for his church until the return of Christ: God called prophets, then apostles, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and others to be teachers.
2.4 The practice in our church today
It is in the understanding of this principle that not everyone waltzing into a church may present himself as a minister of the Lord. There is usually a very stringent process to determine the authenticity of the call of a person presenting himself for the ministry. After equipping and study, the church, through its courts then ordains a minister into the ministry of Word and Sacrament.
What does all of this mean? It at least means that the ministers, for as long as he is faithful to the Word and his calling before God is the mouthpiece of God to the people. The people understand it to be this way when accept the ordination of a man by the wider church. They induct their ministers into the office and they pledge to follow the leadership of the minister – of course only for as long as his teaching based on the Word of God!
2.5 More than just a speaker giving a talk
The implication is that when the minister proclaims the Word he is doing far more that just giving a talk. Too many ministers have gone down this path. Is it perhaps in reaction to some colleagues who might have all the right robes and apparel, but lack godliness, still preaching a gospel that I dead and unattractive? If this is the case, God has to do a mighty job of salvation in the life of that minister, or he has to go!
Or is it because they don't want to offend the people in the pew by leaving the impression that they might elevate themselves above the rest of the congregation? They then don't preach or proclaim the Word of God; they give a talk or just share a thought with the people. They avoid the pulpit like the plague out of fear that people might think they are different from them; they then only preach from a lectern.
They shun all forms of "official" dress, and don themselves in clobber to not really stand out as the minister. They deliver their talk without being acceptably dressed, in some cases with no socks on, shirts hanging out and no tie in sight. They are acceptable to the people with a user-friendly attitude, but, they forget one major point: they are God's representative to the people. They command no respect, and their message becomes their opinion about a portion of the Word of God.
Does God look at apparel? Does what one puts on make a difference? No, God looks at your heart, but the problem is that people can't see your heart. What they see on the outside to them in most cases is a reflection of what they think is going on in the inside.
With and after the Reformation, ministers were given official garb to wear. They got an academic gown as part of it. This was something real fresh in the teaching of the church. After centuries of unschooled and illiterate priests, some of whom could not even read or understand the Latin in which they had to conduct the worship, there were men educated and approved by the church as people who had the ability and the background to teach the Word of God; of this the academic gowns was a symbol. By these gowns were pitch black; they symbol behind that was that ministers were not supposed to be seen. They were hidden behind the robes, so as to not attract attention to themselves but to the Word they preached.
O, that ministers would become teachers again! O, that ministers would be burdened by the Gospel to educate, equip and edify the people of God so that they would hear the Word of God and not the words of man! May ministers once again rediscover the yoke put on them when they were ordained and set apart as ministers of Word and Sacrament and proclaim that Word with authority coming from God!
3. Ministers of the Gospel: proclaiming Jesus Christ
When the apostle then says he acts as the commissioned minister of God, he assumes a few things as his prophetic calling.
3.1 Proclamation
First of all, he understands that his task is defined by the Gospel of the Lord. He says in verse 28, "We proclaim Him." The verb here is to tell with conviction, with the implication that the authority does not lie in the speaker himself who now endeavours to convince his hearers.
Paul uses another word for what he does as a result of God's calling. In 2Corinthians 5:20 he says he is Christ's ambassador as though God were making His appeal through them. Because this is true, Paul implores, as if standing on his knees, the people on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to God.
His message is about Christ and on behalf of Christ. He said to the Corinthians in his first letter to them:
"I have resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (1Cor 2:2)
3.2 Proclamation of Jesus Christ
Why is so important to preach Jesus Christ? Well, everything said in the lead-up to this point in the chapter of Colossians 1 underscores it. Listen: the Gospel is about Jesus Christ – full stop! He is our hope (1:5); He warrants the truth of the Gospel (1:6); He qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light (1:12); He rescued us from the dominion of darkness by conveying us into the kingdom of light (1:13); He redeemed us, and He forgave us our sins (1:14).
That's not all this chapter says about Christ: He is the image of the invisible God (1:15); by Him all things were created and all things belong to Him (1:16); He is supreme over all rulers and powers (1:16); all things hold together in Him (1:17); He is the Head of his Church (1:18); all the fullness of God dwell in Him (1:19); we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ (1:21-22).
3.2 Proclamation with a view to worship Christ
All these things together are what Paul means when he says he proclaims Jesus Christ. His message is not only for people to have a mystic understanding of a source of energy that might make them feel better on bad days; Paul wants every man – this expression is repeated three times in verse 28 – to understand that Jesus Christ is the Saviour King of all kings; he wants then to develop a Biblical mindset different from what this world can offer.
4. Conclusion
My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, pray that God give me that burden. Pray that God gave me that servant heart I need to proclaim to you this Gospel, and nothing else. Pray for the ministers of the Word of God; pray for others to join this army of soldiers of Christ. Pray that they would be fully committed to the truth of the Gospel in teaching and equipping the people of the Lord.

Hey yall,
I have three whites in a 40 gallon aquarium, but i have been told this was very wrong. I am looking to switch ASAP, but need to find whats the best size tank for a good price. I am only 17 and thought my tank was fine since they have stuff to climb on, but i was wrong. I dont want one that is too cramped for them either.
Thank you!!
Honestly a 40 isn't terrible. The additional height would be beneficial but bear in mind they might not make use of it. The majority of WTFs I've owned over the past 20 years have preferred to hang out lower than higher and I've kept them in both horizontal and high vertical enclosures. If you're handy or know someone who is you can convert a 40 to a vertical with some modifications. If not the exo terra talls are a great way to go.
I have White's that enjoy the height so it depends on what your frogs do. If they climb a lot then yes I would get the tall exo terra terrarium.

The Goldberg Variations: a reduction
This past summer, I have done some work on and off on the Goldberg Variations by J. S. Bach (1685-1750). This piece consists of an aria and thirty variations, and concludes with a repeat of the aria, for a total of thirty-two sections. The theme, by the way, is also thirty-two measures long. Furthermore, every third variation has two of the voices in canon (that is, doing a round like "row, row, row, your boat"), and the interval between the two voices is a step larger every time. Thus, variation three has a canon at the unison, var. two a canon at the second, etc. You didn't know Bach could be so mathematical, did you? Anyhow, to help myself learn the this lengthy work (if you take the repeats, they take the better part of the hour) , I made the following four-part reduction version of the aria, so that I could easily perceive the harmonic structure/bass-line which is the basis for the whole piece:
