Hi, I'm Stacey and welcome to On The Ball Walkies pet services!
I understand entrusting your pets to someone is no easy task, so let me tell you a little bit about me.
I'm happiest when in nature combining my love for animals with outdoor exercise. Ever since I can remember I have been passionate about animal welfare.
Over the years I have cared for many dogs, cats and other animals. I have enjoyed getting to know and understand them and their unique personalities through charity work; having my own family dogs, cats and hamsters; and helping others with their family pets.
Some of my previous voluntary work includes socialising animals at the RSPCA Stubbington Ark, crowdfunding for animal charities nationally, and fostering animals in need. Before getting On The Ball Walkies rolling I was employed by a wonderful and well-respected charity as a Resettlement Worker, taking pride in helping vulnerable people find their feet again.
As a long-distance runner who enjoys canicrosssing, I started my journey as a dog walker, dog jogger and pet sitter in order to unify a lifelong passion for animals with a dedication to helping people.
Your pets will be in caring hands with me. Updates on your pets and their adventures are always provided (unless otherwise preferred) and you can keep updated on their daily experiences via my pet services Facebook page. Rest assured that your pet and I are always just a phone call away.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family pets on board!

The composition is very lovely, the colors caught my eye :) I like how you kept a good color scheme and that this doesn't look very "heavy", and good use of texture on the background! However, the extraction is poorly done, it looks like you used an eraser to remove the background; I suggest using the Pen Tool to do so, it's much more efficient and you won't be left with wobbly edges :)

It goes without saying that smoking is an extremely unhealthy habit that carries many risks. In addition to causing cancer and heart disease, cigarettes can also damage the eyes.
What Does the Data Show?
Studies have shown us that smoking cigarettes nearly doubles your risk of developing cataracts. This clouding of the lens can result in vision loss as well as complete blindness when left untreated.
This habit also triples your risk of developing macular degeneration. While some age-related degeneration is completely normal, macular degeneration will quickly impair your vision in a short period of time.
It was also found that smokers are more than twice as likely to develop uveitis. This eye disease causes an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye called the uvea, producing reduced vision or blindness.
Other Negative Effects of Smoking on the Eyes
Smokers are also at a greater risk for developing Diabetic Retinopathy, another serious eye condition that can result in blindness.
In addition, smoking while pregnant can increase the risk of giving birth prematurely. This puts an infant at higher risk for developing Retinopathy of Prematurity, which can be a blinding disease.
Along with higher risks of diseases, smoke itself can be irritating to the eye and can lead to dry eye or the worsening of dry eye. Patients with dry eye will experience itching, burning, tearing, the feeling like something is in the eye, and fluctuating vision.
What Do I Do?
To reduce the risk of these conditions, your best course of action is to quit smoking altogether. For example, it has also been shown that quitting smoking even after you have smoked for years can significantly reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.
Quitting can be difficult, but it isn't impossible. Nicotine replacement therapy is more effective than ever, and it has helped countless patients quit smoking. This form of therapy minimizes cravings by giving small doses of nicotine throughout the day. This nicotine usually comes in the form of patches, sprays, lozenges, or gum.
The statistics are clear: Quit smoking now, and your eyes will thank you!

We may be getting some answers in the saga of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman sooner rather than later.
DOJ's Office Of Professional Responsibility expects "in the near future" to complete its probe into allegations of politicized prosecution in the Siegelman case, according to a letter from the DOJ sent to Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) yesterday. The letter also reveals that the OPR is looking into the allegations of improper communications between jurors and members of the prosecution team during Siegelman's trial.
At issue are charges made by a whistle-blower, who worked in the U.S. Attorney's office in Alabama, that were first publicly reported in November after Conyers sent a letter to the DOJ about the matter.
Emails provided by the whistle-blower suggested that U.S. Attorney Leura Canary — whose husband was a top GOP operative and Karl Rove associate — continued to be involved in the case after recusing herself. Other emails suggested inappropriate contact between jurors and the prosecution, including expressions of romantic interest by jurors in an FBI agent on the prosecution team.
In an interview with TPMmuckraker last month, an outraged Siegelman called it "astounding" that the alleged impropriety involving the jury had not been revealed to the judge and the defense. There has long been evidence that Siegelman's prosecution on corruption charges was politically motivated.
It was back in July that the DOJ publicly acknowledged the existence of an OPR investigation into whether the prosecution was "selective and politically motivated."
The letter sent to Conyers yesterday gives us a fuller picture of the OPR probe.In the letter, Principal Deputy Assistant AG Keith Nelson confirms that the OPR is looking into the jury issue and into "whether United States Attorney Leura Canary complied with her recusal from the case." The letter continues:
We have confirmed that OPR is aware of the e-mails you forwarded, and we expect that they will evaluate the significance of those e-mails in the full context of the prosecution. We understand that OPR expects to complete its investigation in the near future.
The letter also notes that a separate DOJ investigation into the case — which was begun at the behest of the Office Of Special Counsel and was recently reopened — remains in progress. Arguments on Siegelman's appeal of his conviction were heard earlier this month.

Published December 26, 2018
SANTA FE — Earlier this month, The Higher Learning Commission, one of IAIA's accrediting organizations, approved the school's application to launch AFA and BFA Programs in Performing Arts. The change is effective immediately, and students may begin to apply for the degree programs beginning with the Spring 2019 semester.
Performing Arts has been a part of IAIA for more than 50 years. Theater, music, and dance courses were first taught at IAIA in 1964, just two years after its founding as a high school. Lloyd Kiva New (Cherokee), a founder and an early director of the Institute, composed his "Credo for an American Indian Theatre" in 1969 which made the case that American Indian theater was a distinct form of American theater.
Once IAIA became an institution of higher education in 1975, courses continued, but Performing Arts was never a degree program. Unfortunately, in 1996, after Congress cut IAIA's budget by one-third, the program was discontinued. Serious interest in the program re-emerged when a performing arts building was included in the Campus Master Plan of 2010. Faculty, staff, alumni, and the Board of Trustees all participated in public meetings and focus groups to develop the plan. A full-time faculty member was hired in fall semester 2014 to help with planning. He taught several classes and developed a minor in Performing Arts. A new faculty member, Dr. Sheila Rocha, (Tarasco/Pure'pecha) was hired for the Fall 2017 semester when the first individual left the institution; and a second faculty member, Dr. Jonah Winn-Lenetsky, came on board in Spring 2018. The new Performing Arts and Fitness Center opened in November 2017. Classes and productions have been held in the building starting in Spring 2018.
The post Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Approved to Offer AFA and BFA Degrees in Performing Arts appeared first on Native News Online.

Guard and Grace steakhouse ready to impress Houston
Troy Guard is good at making friends. Years before the Denver-based chef announced he was opening his first restaurant outside of Colorado, Guard visited Houston frequently to get the lay of the land and familiarize himself with the city's outsize dining scene. And throughout 2019 he collaborated on a series of pop-up dinners with a few top chefs in town, such as Hugo Ortega at Xochi and Drake Leonards at Eunice.
Those dinners were both feel-good introductions to an out-of-towner and culinary precursors to the grand steakhouse that was being built for Guard at One Allen Center. Along the way Guard, with his ready smile and high-on-Houston disposition, charmed would-be diners as he and his staff patiently waited for Guard and Grace to open.
That wait ends Tuesday when the colossal 15,000-square-foot Guard and Grace – as impressive of a big city steakhouse as Houston has ever seen – opens for dinner. The Nov. 19 debut marks the official arrival of Guard's TAG Restaurant Group, already a part of Denver's restaurant landscape with 13 restaurants under eight concepts. Even before Guard and Grace opens, Guard is already scoping out the possibilities of bringing several of those brands to Houston.
HALL OF FLAVOR: We take you inside the new Politan Row food hall in Rice Village
Between the scope of the physical restaurant – a sleek, magisterial space designed to wow – and an imposing menu of international flavors orbiting an imposing collection of beef, Guard and Grace fits the ambitions of a city full of power and international clout.
Houston's multi-ethnic diversity is a perfect place for Guard to flex his culinary flash and embrace flavors that influenced the Hawaii-raised chef's career which includes work in Hawaii, Hong Kong, Singapore and New York.
"It's truly an international city," he said of Houston. "I get to be a little more creative here."
Some of that creativity bears a local stamp. To his menu (about 80 percent of it comes from the Guard and Grace in Denver) Guard has added dishes he feels will appeal to the Houston palate: Roasted Texas redfish on the half shell with lump crab, shrimp and Pontchartrain sauce; whole deboned grilled red snapper with a lush tomato sauce invested with Asian flavors of shrimp paste, caramelized shallot, Thai chiles and fish sauce; oak-smoked chicken with preserved lemon salsa verde; Texas fried quail with Fresno chile hot sauce and buttermilk dressing; gochujang barbecue pork ribs with charred scallions and pickled vegetables; and wagyu bone marrow served with short rib marmalade and smoked aioli.
These dishes make nice with proven dishes such as tuna sashimi with jalapeno, ponzu and black lava salt; prosciutto tasting flight; lobster and shrimp roll with yuzu aioli; oak-fired octopus with white bean and celery salad and Spanish chorizo; Szechuan rack of lamb; crab bearnaise gnocchi; and hamachi crudo with jalapeno, truffled yuzu sauce and a sprinkle of pop rocks.
And then there's the beef: Prime filet mignon, New York strip, dry-aged bone-in New York strip, and 21-day dry-aged bone-in ribeye; Angus filet mignon, hanger steak, porterhouse and prime rib; and wagyu filet mignon, ribeye and New York strip. Want a little of everything? There's a filet flight featuring 4-ounce portions of Prime, Angus and wagyu steaks – all seasoned with Guard's proprietary seasoning blend and grilled over oak wood flames.
While Guard's biggest steak, a market-priced "ax-handle tomahawk" he calls the Brontosaurus Steak is a head-turning monster, his showiest dish will surely be his tribute to a Houston classic: Millionaire Fajitas, a theatrical presentation of charred rib cap wagyu presented with huitlacoche and gold (yes, gold leaf) tortillas, charred peppers and onions an a side of green chile enchiladas. It fetches the oil baron price of $400. Surely, the most expensive fajitas in Houston.
HoustonChronicle.com: The best dishes from Alison Cook's 100 Top Houston restaurants list.
Guard has entrusted his new baby to CIA-trained executive chef Daniel Virola, formerly of True Food Kitchen in Houston. Desserts and house-made breads are from TAG corporate pastry chef Joy Williams. The team includes a wine and cocktail program with beverage director Nikki Guard and sommelier Lexey Davis Johnson.
As for the restaurant's look, it's a lot to take in. The soaring, two-story space is all windows framed by 30-foot gauzy bronze sheers. Overhead, 4,600 bronze rods create a textural canopy, a metallic sky curtain that dips and arches above the dining room set on multiple levels. Done in shades of gray and blue set against industrial panes of exposed concrete and textured plaster, the dining areas feature multiple options of intimate two-tops, big booths, banquettes and round tables that are at once architecturally spare and luxurious. Guard's huge open kitchen is a bustling place. The bar area could be Houston's new power den. The second floor, flanked by a mezzanine, features private dining rooms with their own kitchen and bar, and a mural created by Houston artist Jessica Rice. BOSS.architecture is responsible for the restaurant's design.
Houston foodies have long been skeptical about out-of-towners who set up shop here hoping to teach this energy outpost how to eat. Guard, however, has done his homework about Houston, and moved a dozen of his TAG employees here to oversee Guard and Gun operations. The chef, too, has purchased a home in the Heights and may even take up permanent residence in Houston.
"We just want to be a part of this community," he said.
Guard and Grace, 500 Dallas at One Allen Center, 346-326-0789; guardandgrace.com/houston. Open for dinner Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 5 to 11 p.m. Lunch (Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) will begin Dec. 2. At that time, social hour also will debut, Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m.

Even though my friends and I had a few papers due, we still decided we could head to the beach for the weekend. Because it is far better to work on an island with white sand beaches than in hot, sweltering Khon Kaen (weekend temperatures reached 111 degrees). So we threw in some towels, swim suits and lecture notes and headed out 6 hours after making the decision to go.
It was a total of 31 hours on buses, taxis, and ferries to get from Khon Kaen to Koh Samet (an island on the Gulf of Thailand) and back; 13 one way and 18 hours back. And I ended up in yet another Thai clinic. But it was worth every single minute.
What I love most about Koh Samet was the lack of farang (foreigner/white) men with Thai women. True, sometimes it's a real relationship, but a lot of times farang men purchase a woman for a night or for the weekend as a "companion". I didn't really see that at Koh Samet; it was more couples and families, and the dread-lock and elephant-pant wearing backpacking crowd was also significantly lacking. All of this led to a way more open, friendly atmosphere.
But there were a fair amount of couples and families, so we motorbiked down the island a ways in search of a more secluded, private beach. We found this in a fancypants resort's private beach.
If you walk through the resort like you know what you're doing, no one will question you.
Anyways, it was a large, sprawling resort and there were probably five other people on the beach so we spent most of the day swimming, napping and reading books.
That night, and most of the next morning, were spent writing and editing papers, with a little adrenaline kick. That came as me hastily fleeing my hostel's shower stall after I discovered I had showered with an evil-looking, potentially poisonous frog at chest height two feet away from me. But in my haste to flee, I cut my hand on the shower stall's rusted handle and had to go to the island's clinic to get a tetanus booster shot. It appears like visiting island's hospitals and clinics has turned into a habit!
We also spent a good chunk of time wandering the town looking for Mango Sticky Rice. Now that mangos are in season, this is probably the most delicious thing I have ever eaten; the texture is perfect, and the sticky rice is drizzled in sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk (as near as I can tell) in the perfect blend of sweet sugar and carbohydrates. I ate three plates of this delicacy on Sunday alone, and I regret absolutely nothing.
Overall, it was an amazingly fun, restful and productive weekend full of warm sun, ocean breezes and mango sticky rice.

Note the science by consensus propaganda and arrogance at the end. Strange Doings on the SunSunspots, Which Can Harm Electronics on Earth, Are Half the Number ExpectedRobert Lee HotzNov. 10, 2013 7:25 p.m. ETSomething is up with the sun.Scientists say that solar activity is stranger than in a century or more, with the sun producing barely half the number of sunspots as expected and its magnetic poles oddly out of sync.The sun generates immense magnetic fields as it spins. Sunspots—often broader in diameter than Earth—mark areas of intense magnetic force that brew disruptive solar storms. These storms may abruptly lash their charged particles across millions of miles of space toward Earth, where they can short-circuit satellites, smother cellular signals or damage electrical systems.Based on historical records, astronomers say the sun this fall ought to be nearing the explosive climax of its approximate 11-year cycle of activity—the so-called solar maximum. But this peak is "a total punk," said Jonathan Cirtain, who works at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as project scientist for the Japanese satellite Hinode, which maps solar magnetic fields."I would say it is the weakest in 200 years," said David Hathaway, head of the solar physics group at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.Researchers are puzzled. They can't tell if the lull is temporary or the onset of a decades-long decline, which might ease global warming a bit by altering the sun's brightness or the wavelengths of its light."There is no scientist alive who has seen a solar cycle as weak as this one," said Andrés Munoz-Jaramillo, who studies the solar-magnetic cycle at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.To complicate the riddle, the sun also is undergoing one of its oddest magnetic reversals on record. . . . Several solar scientists speculated that the sun may be returning to a more relaxed state after an era of unusually high activity that started in the 1940s."More than half of solar physicists would say we are returning to a norm," said physicist Mark Miesch at the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colo., who studies the internal dynamics of stars. "We might be in for a longer state of suppressed activity."If so, the decline in magnetic activity could ease global warming, the scientists said. But such a subtle change in the sun—lowering its luminosity by about 0.1%—wouldn't be enough to outweigh the build-up of greenhouse gases and soot that most researchers consider the main cause of rising world temperatures over the past century or so. "It may give us a brief respite from global warming," said Dr. Hathaway. "But it is not going to stop it."http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10...183940409194498

Citizenship and Religion
4 comments:
- Timothy said...
Not that minarets would fall even under this, but in thinking about how Kant talks about a republic and the importance of right, I have always been struck by the anamoly of this passage:
"On this supreme properietorship also rests the state's economy, finances, and police. Police provide for security, convenience, and decency; for the government's business of guiding the people by laws is made easier when the feeling for decency (sensus decori), as negative taste, is not deadened by what offends the moral sense, such as begging, uproar on the streets, stenches, and public prostitution (venus volgivaga)" (Metaphysics of Morals, 6:325)
I suppose this is based on right in some sense (it makes it easier for government to administer laws), but what if promoting some sense of (French-style) citizenship also did that? Could that be an argument from right in Kant's sense? Why or why not?
(separately, there is the question of whether Kant limits state action to considerations of right, or if he allows but not discuss further policy actions that are based on other considerations... e.g. welfare (that go beyond right-based considerations)).
- 1 December 2009 at 20:12
- Gary Banham said...
Thanks for these points Tim, both very useful and worth pursuing. The citation you give concerning begging and prostitution and relating them to decency does raise some intriguing questions. It occurs in the context of Kant's discussion of sovereignty and appears to have something to do with the general consideration of "public order" in something like Waldron's extended account of it. The relationship of that sense to, on the one hand, right and, on the other, publicity, would be something I would like to explore elsewhere.
The question as to whether welfare is something distinct from right in terms of Kant's justification for welfare is also interesting. It is, I think, fairly clear that Kant's specific scope for welfare is considerably narrower than would tend to be acceptable now but the fact that there is scope at all for it is, I suppose, the point. Again, I'll have to return to this in due course.
More generally, as you say, your comments don't specifically relate to the points I was making about religion and citizenship and don't, I think, affect the direct argument I have given.
- 1 December 2009 at 21:47
- Timothy said...
I like the public order thought. That seems to make sense.
However, I remember that Waldron brought up the burka is his lecture. He says he was not in favor of banning it. However, he seemed to allow for some space to argue for such a ban, perhaps, since its message seems to be that women, when they appear in public should not be at all public (it is the carrying of the private sphere around with them-- implying where women should be relegated to).
Afterall, (so the argument might go) if public prostitution could offend people's decency, why not oppressive clothing?
Now, I don't know that that argument is convincing at all, or even plausible, but it does seem to perhaps have the right form.
Going further, I can imagine someone saying that if (if) the government finds it easier to administer the law if the public sphere looks a certain way (no prostitutions or burkas, they might say) so as not to deaden people's sensibilities.
Now it is not clear to me that Kant would authorize anything to promote citizenship. (Note that I am not saying that the government will use coercion to promote the virtue of citizens -- just the possibility that the government will regulate appearances in the public sphere so as not to undermine adherence to the law).
Now I think a weak link in this is how burkas could be said to deaden the morals. I suppose a tale might need to be told about undermining the independence of citizens (and thus not everyone making the law is independent, and I am subject to such laws, which is bad...)
I don't know, what do you think?
- 1 December 2009 at 22:02
- Gary Banham said...
Hmm: some interesting problems here Tim and now I can see more clearly why you think the posting I have given is less of a response to the question than I might have been hoping it was.
As you say, it is not at all clear that Kant would have thought that some things were needed to advance citizenship and in fact it would seem the reverse is true (though there is the complicated problem of "independence" which I might get to in a future posting).
You are right that Waldron points to the problem with the burka being that it forces the private into the public. It wouldn't take much from there to suggest that this violates something integral to republicanism and then move to legislate around it.
So what kind of solution to this question is appropriate?
Well: leaving for now the notion of "decency" aside as its point and limit would need to be specifically considered, I think I would go the following way.
The adoption of specific clothing or given practices by members of a religion is evidently not entirely neutral (which is why forced marriages and the hideously mis-named "female circumcision" could be banned). But the practices that can be legislated about are ones that offend in any case against the guide-lines of right. Going beyond this would produce consequentialist reasonings and create difficulties.
But thanks for raising these points as I can see from them why this would be a topic that would be worth a lot more exploration (possibly in article form).

If we were having coffee today, then I would tell you that it has been forever since I last did a coffee share post. I don't know how long it has been, but let's not dwell on that. You can find all old coffee share posts in the category Weekend Coffee Share and all new ones (erm future ones as this is the first one) in the category If we were having Coffee.
If we were having coffee, I'd tell you how happy I am to have you join me today. I'd tell you that I still don't drink coffee and that we will thus be having tea or water, or that we can have a coffee in a nearby café (but I am frugal…). As the weather is nice (global warming alert) we can find a nice place outside, and if it's cold there are often blankets and heaters to keep us warm.
If we were having coffee or some other beverage, then I'd ask you how you are. So, how are you doing? I hope that you are happy, that you and your loved ones are in good health, that you have a good life balance. What are your projects, aspirations? What have you been up to lately (if you also do coffee shares then I'll try to find some time to join you and read up)?
I suppose that you'll have a lot of questions for me, especially seen my absence from coffee shares and blogging in general. I love blogging, the creativity and exchanges that come with it are so great, but sometimes a break just happens. After my birthday I decided to take things into hand and I am now posting once a week for my 30 to 31 challenge. This week, I suddenly found the time, energy and inspiration to write. That was on Monday. On Monday, I was home alone, I didn't have to work and spending some time with myself just for myself seems to have rebalanced my energies.
I posted something in German. I know that most of my regular readers don't really read in German, but I am a German teacher and my blog is also a way for students to find me (they actually do). Lately, many of my students have been asking for audio and video material to use in their own time. I am blessed that I currently have motivated students (that isn't always the case). As I don't want to post a simple list, I figured to start a series on my blog where I share some useful resources.
You might have noticed that my blog has changed its appearance. Now, I have a theme that needs visuals, pushing me to be even more creative. You should follow me on Instagram! Sometimes my blog posts lead me to end up posting sketches over there… When I wrote about being eco-friendly, I had to draw this tree:
View this post on Instagram
When I was a kid, a science experiment taught me that rubbish won't grow, even if we water it daily. What a nightmarish vision, to picture plastic bottles growing on trees 🌳, ready to litter our environment. When we look at the plastic problem, it does seem as if this were true. Plastic is worse than any garden-weeds… In my most recent blogpost I touch upon the question of being environmentally friendly: solveigwerner.com #plasticfree #plasticworld #doesnotgrow #sketch #notolandfill #singleuseplastic #plasticbottle #motherearth #inksketch #gardening
I hope that I'll be sharing coffee with you many many times in the months to come. But I won't be making any promises. Speaking of promises, I will do my best to put up a post regarding the 4th edition of the advent calendar! Yes! I will host it again. Hopefully, between now and the 1st of December I'll be nice and active on my blog as to draw in readers and participants. It's just such a fun thing, a lot of work, but if everything is done in advance it is manageable. I still haven't updated my list of participants from last year, and I never posted an overview post. I am sorry about that, but I just fell of planet blogging. And the truth be told, creating a post with about 30 links and no real content just ain't my cup of tea.
I shall leave you here, my kids want some fresh air and some sun. I'll try to catch up with you and I'll try to reply…
It looks like that the #WeekendCoffeeShare has changed host, thus head over to Eclectic Ally to see read her's and find the links to the other posts.
Thanks for joining me and have a lovely weekend!
Solveig 😘

How to Workout at Home8:30 AM
One of my New Year's goals is to work out 3-4 times a week, but I personally don't like going to the gym. It gets really crowded after work (which is when I go to the gym) and it requires me to carry an extra bag for my workout clothes and shoes. A few months ago, I decided to buy some equipment to work out at home instead and it's been AMAZING. To supplement my workout, I also purchased digital workouts from Barre3. It sounds expensive, but it's the same amount of money for a gym membership as it is for buying equipment and digital workouts. Here's how to do it:
1. Buy the 'Essentials'
What are the 'Essentials'? It depends on what you want to work out. I want to make sure I get a full body workout every week, so I focus on arms, chest, abs and legs - sometimes all in separate workout sessions or sometimes they're combined in one. Here's what I recommend as the essentials for working out at home:
- Yoga Mat: this can be used in multiple ways. Yes, it's great for yoga, but if you plan on doing any floor workouts (ie abs), you'll most likely need a mat. I recommend AmazonBasics Pink Exercise Mat with Carrying Strap, it's under $20 and has great reviews.
- Weights: these can be used for everything. Normally, when you think of weights, you think upper body workouts, but you can use weights for leg and ab workouts as well. Plus, if you buy a good set, they will last you a while. I recommend AmazonBasics 20-Pound Dumbbell Set with Stand, White Lettering. You get three sets of weights with a stand. These are pretty light. If you want a heavier set as well, purchase Unipack Neoprene Dumbbells (6/8/10 sets).
- Resistance Band: These are essential if you plan on signing up for barre workouts like I am. Resistance bands are used a lot for leg and ab workouts. I like this because they're travel friendly. If you're going on vacation or traveling for work, this is something you can easily bring with you. You can do a few simple workouts while you're away so you're still keeping up with the schedule. Get the Your Choice Exercise Bands Set of 4, you receive 4 bands of different resistance levels.
2. Subscribe to a Digital Workout Channel
Like I mentioned before, I subscribed to Barre3 online classes to guide me through my workouts. I know a few basic workout routines, but doing the same routine week over week is only challenging those same muscle groups. It's important to vary workouts so you're focusing on all the different muscles in your body. I personally love barre classes - it's a mix of pilates and yoga. It's a nice addition to my workout schedule as it's heavily focused on thighs and calves. I will do a barre class once or twice a week. The rest of the week will focus on abs and arms/chest.
There are a ton of workout routines online that are free to access. Pinterest actually has a ton. I'll find a circuit that I like and incorporate it into my weekly schedule. But remember, switch it up every week!
3. Block time on your calendar and hold yourself accountable
The only way you'll be successful in working out is by holding yourself accountable. I always review my calendar for the next week on Sundays and block off an hour on three days that week I know I can work out. Whether it's in the morning, afternoon or night, I'm committing myself to spending that hour pushing myself to my limits. An hour or two before working out, I'll add a reminder to my calendar to either drink coffee or have a quick snack to ensure I have energy for my workout later on. I love Clif Bar Chocolate Chip Protein Bars - they provide enough energy to get me through my 3pm slump and my workout after work.
Mornings can be extremely tough to work out, especially for me. Waking up at 6:30 am to work out? Doesn't sound great to me. But I've found several tricks to force me out of bed and to work out. One of my favorites is to wear my workout clothes to bed. Instead of my jammies, I'll throw on my socks, sports bra and leggings to bed. Why? Because it's one less thing I have to do when I get up. There's no excuse. I'm pretty much dressed to work out! My other trick is setting alarms in 10-minute increments a half an hour before I need to wake up. If I need to wake up at 6:30 am, I'll set an alarm for 6:00 am, 6:10 am, 6:20 am and 6:30 am. This is enough to get me up, but you can add more or less depending on your preferences.
Those are my three tips for working out at home. You can also find all the products I mentioned in this post at this link. What do you think? Would working out at home fit in with your lifestyle? I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions below!

Respecting the silence of the scriptures and of God is not practiced among various religious intitutions. There is discussion and debate for and against the teaching of speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent.
The characters of Nadab and Abihu provide for us insight into the sense of godliness we are to have toward God. This is something Nadab and Abihu rejected. What we find in this record is a principle of attitude that has not changed since the beginning of time nor can it. God's divine character and attributes are eternal in nature – he does not change. Therefore, any principle regarding a sense of respect, awe, or piety of devotion toward God does not change for human kind.
As was mentioned before in Part 1, in the religious world, of those who say they believe in Christ, there are at least two teachings regarding the silence of God's word. Some teach that if God, through His written word, does not expressly speak against a particular practice of worship, it is authorized to practice. Others teach that if God, through His written word, does not expressly speak against a particular practice of worship, and there is no express or implied authorization to practice the deed, it is not authorized to practice. The latter teaching respects God's silence, the former does not.
Then an illustration was used showing that playing instruments of music in public worship is not authorized. In the New Testament God is silent about playing instruments of music in public worship. However, not everyone believes in being silent where the scriptures (God's word) is silent.
A Lutheran, so called a "Reverend" named Keith Schweitzer says, "There is no express command of prohibition from God in Scripture against using musical instruments. Thus, if there is no express command in the Scriptures forbidding the use of musical instruments, it cannot be so imposed by any man or man-made church."
It appears that Keith assumes that the forbidding of the use of the instrument is arbitrary and without authority. His mistake is that he thinks that there must be an "express command in the Scriptures forbidding the use," that is, the scriptures must condemn the specific use of the instrument in worship before a "man" can forbid its use.
Keith attempts to thwart scriptural teaching, which by implication teaches us to respect the silence of God's word in the scriptures. Keith says, "Another argument frequently presented against the use of musical instruments is the account of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10:1,2). These two men offered "strange fire" before the Lord and they were consumed by fire for doing so and put to death. Campbellites fail to mention that Nadab and Abihu did what God in Exodus 30:7-9 had expressly forbid."
I am a Christian and not a "Campbellite." The remark "Campbellite," is made many times in ignorance. We will overlook this remark so that we can deal with the issue at hand.
In Leviticus 10:1-2, Nadab and Abihu did not violate Exodus 30:7-9. In fact, I could not find a scripture expressly forbidding what they did offer. Exodus 30:9 condemns the offering of "strange incense" on the altar of incense. Nadab and Abihu offered "strange fire" before the Lord. "Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them." (Lev. 10:1 NASB, bolding mine ACW). There is a distinction between "strange fire" and "strange incense." Even in this passage, what they put in their firepans is distinctively written, ". . . after putting fire in them, placed incense on it . . ." (bolding mine ACW). Two other passages reference this sin to offering "strange fire before the Lord." Numbers 3:4; 26:61. The fire and incense was in their firepans, not on the altar of incense.
The Lord in Exodus 30:34-38 gave the express instructions regarding the preparation of the incense to be used by Aaron and the priests. Specific ingredients and proportions relative to each ingredient are given. "Then the LORD said to Moses
, "Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each. And with it you shall make incense, a perfume, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy."" (Exodus 30:34-35 NASB). This incense was not to be used for personal use nor was anyone to prepare the same ingredients in the same proportions for their own use. This incense, including its "recipe," was holy and dedicated to the Lord's use. "And the incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the LORD. Whoever shall make any like it, to use as perfume, shall be cut off from his people." (Exodus 30:37-38 NASB).
Nadab and Abihu offered a fire, which God "had not commanded them." This is one thing that made the fire strange. That is, God did not command the fire they offered. This was unlawful because of their presumptuous attitude in respect to God's silence.
Therefore, strange incense used in the priestly service could also be incense, which God does not command. However, since we do see what God commanded the Israelites concerning the incense to use, strange incense would also be incense not according to God's instructions. Again, this is not what Nadab and Abihu violated, that is, offering strange incense.
Firepans and censers were used to hold fire or coals. Fire put in the firepans or censers was to be retrieved from some place. Aaron was instructed were he was to get the fire when he was to enter the holy of holies once a year to make atonement for himself and the people. "And he shall take a firepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground sweet incense, and bring it inside the veil." (Lev. 16:12 NASB). On another occasion Moses told Aaron to get the fire from the altar, put it in his censer, then lay incense on it. (Numbers 16:41-50). This was to make atonement for the children of Israel for their rebelliousness. The Lord struck the assembly with a plague. When Aaron did as instructed, and ran into the assembly with his censer, the plague was checked; but by that time, over 14,000 souls were destroyed.
In these instances, it is clear that God required Aaron, a high priest, to get his fire from some specific place. However, it is not expressly stated where Nadab and Abihu, (also priests) were to get their fire, or even if they were to offer fire at this time. There is not recorded in the scriptures any explicit commands by God toward Nadab and Abihu, concerning what they were to do with their firepans (or censers).
Nevertheless, Nadab and Abihu were put to death, because offering something to God in worship, which God did not command, was a treatment to God as unholy and profane. "Then Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the LORD spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honored.'" So Aaron, therefore, kept silent." (Lev. 10:3 NASB).
Since God did not command them to offer this fire, in Leviticus 10:1, then God did not speak. If He did not speak, then He was silent.
The bible does not say that God instructed Nadab and Abihu not to offer this fire. The bible is silent about "Thou shalt nots," regarding the offering of the fire that they offered.
Whatever God told the priests to do, that was enough! If God had not instructed them the fire they were to offer, then again, God's silence was to be respected. In either way, the actions of Nadab and Abihu were presumptuous. Because of their arrogance, they presumed too much of their importance, and took it upon themselves to worship God in a manner that pleased themselves. If they thought it would please God, without a "thus saith the Lord," this also is presumptuous and would be a demonstration of their irreverence towards God's silence. This is the lesson we are to learn.
"But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die." (Deut. 18:20 NASB). This is the principle regarding words. Wrong thoughts lead to wrong words, wrong words lead to wrong deeds.
David said, "Also keep back Thy servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression." (Psalm 19:13 NASB). Presumptuous sins can be committed by both words and deeds.
We now go back and make application of this lesson to the subject of playing instruments of music in worship.
God told us what to do and it is enough! Anything less, would be a lack of what God requires. Anything more, would be more than what God requires. If more than what God requires, then who requires it?
God commands N.T. churches to sing. (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16). If we offer to God in our worship strange music, he will be displeased with us as he was with Nadab and Abihu when they offered strange fire. Playing instruments of music in worship is strange to God because it is music not according to God's instructions. It is music GOD HAS NOT COMMANDED. It is not required by God, but by man. Playing instruments of music in worship is "will worship" or "self-made religion." It is a perfect example of profane behavior and ungodliness regarding God's silence in the scriptures.
Finally, let us ask, no, DEMAND for a book, chapter, and verse for everything we say and do. If God does not say it in the scriptures, then He is silent. If when God is silent about a matter, why do men speak?

Reaching an altered state of consciousness is easy. Going anywhere with it is the hard part.
On a serious note, I'm not personally a fan of alcohol or entheogens for journey purposes... they're some of the quickest ways to an altered state, but controlling them and actually entering the Otherworlds is an entirely different kettle of fish. And people who use those then often have a hard time reaching altered states through other means... so it's a crutch that becomes an inhibiting practice rather than a useful one. Music and rhythm, including dance, is similar... thousands of people reach a trance state every day via music and dance... but riding that into the Otherworlds is a step that very few can manage. Innerworlds is easy. Otherworlds, not so much.
That's why core-shamanism is usually talking about Innerworlds work (a term coined by an old friend of mine from the Blue Mountains, which I just love and so shall use forevermore)... all that 'listen to this drumming track and do this guided meditation and enter the Underworld to meet your shadow totem' is not Otherworld journeywork. If you can learn it in a weekend workshop or from reading one book and sitting down to one drumming session, it's not Otherworld journeywork. Hitting the Otherworlds is hard, and takes years of practice to get there. I remember when I first started journeywork (faring forth in NT terms) I thought that the non-core shamanists were elitist and snobby... until I realised that what was coming so easy was Innerworlds work, and that travelling from there into external Otherworlds was a very different thing... until I actually made it into the Otherworlds and felt the difference for myself.
There are thousands of 'shamanists' and 'shamanic practitioners' who never make it out of the Innerworlds. Which is okay. Because Innerworlds work is very profound and is actually what most people are looking for. That's where you do all the personal growth and improvement stuff. That's where most 'soul fragments' are lost. The external Otherworlds are not about us... they're about the entities that live THERE. The unfortunate thing is that it's all called 'Otherworlds' by modern neo-pagan and core-shamanic communities. Which causes a great deal of confusion.

As an organization with a mission to give marginalized youth a seat at the table of democracy, Georgia Shift aims to build relationships with a variety of individuals. In many efforts to understand the local community and our audience's needs, we want to hear your stories. For the month of June, we want to highlight Samira "Sam" Pilgreen, our new Field Event Fellow.
Sam was born in Spain, but has spent majority of their life in Atlanta, GA. Currently, they are studying at Augusta University (AU), pursuing a Bachelors of Art in Communications degree. At AU, Sam stands as the president of the LAMBDA Alliance, the university's gay-straight alliance. This organization "makes an effort to promote equality, increase gender/sexuality minority awareness, and disperse information on LGBTQ+ issues that affect communities." In addition, Sam currently works as the Field Event Fellow here at Georgia Shift. They hope to raise voter turnout in the Augusta area, but mostly want to bring awareness of helpful resources to the local LGBTQ+ community.
- Why is civic engagement important to you?
"The biggest reason is reaching out to those who feel excluded or feel that there isn't someone on a grander scale that can help them with their personal issues. It's also about helping those who aren't actively engaging in civic duty realize that there's someone in their same demographic who is trying to make a difference on a larger scale. A lot of LGBTQ+ people are sometimes told that because of who they are, they won't succeed. Therefore, seeing someone else within their community achieve the things they wish they could gives them the courage to try. Representation matters and it shows that their goals are attainable."
- What are some issues in your community that concern you?
"Specifically in the black community, I would want to make it apparent that LGBTQ+ individuals go through the same discrimination we fought so hard against. It's not right as black people to treat anybody differently, especially when our ancestors advocated for equal rights for not only us, but everyone. Ultimately, we shouldn't treat anyone differently because we know what it's like to be treated unfairly. It kind of makes us hypocritical."
- What are some issues you wish could be addressed?
"In our local school system, I'm aware that some faculty/staff openly discriminate against LGBTQ+ students. In order to give these students a healthy environment to grow, I don't believe that these people should be working with children. There needs to be more safe spaces in Augusta. Period."
- Why is Pride important to you?
"Going to a Pride festival for the first time was a miraculous experience. I got to meet people that were just like me and I felt a lot less alone, in such a judgmental world. Pride is one of those things that's needed to bring a community together and to reach out to those who don't know we are here. I would hope that pride instills more bravery in all LGBTQ+ individuals young and old. The way that we love should not be criticized and we should be proud to love who we love."
- Why is your blackness important in your identity in the LGBTQ+ community?
"The more I speak out as a black LGBTQ+ person, the more apparent our existence is. Someone has to speak out against our own ignorance [in the black community]. I'm willing to make myself vulnerable, to show that you can be black and queer, and that's okay."
- What's one thing you want people to know about you?
"I am a non-binary, pansexual, polyamorous, black individual and I exist."
Georgia Shift wants to thank Sam for sharing their story with us. We look forward to working with them!

Earlier this season I was writing an article for Vermont Ski and Ride magazine on the Vermont ties to the original 10th Mountain Division. In researching the Vermonters who served in the 10th, I came across a picture I had seen before. It was a picture of a skier circa 1940s on the deck of the Octagon waxing his skis. But I never knew who the person was until my 10th Mountain research.
Everett C. Bailey was born in 1917 in Wells River, Vermont. He began skiing at the age of six on a pair of barrel staves! In 1928 the family moved to Burlington and Everett would graduate from Burlington High School. He went on to graduate from UVM where he co-captained the ski team. During his college years he joined the Sepp Ruschp Ski School in Stowe and became a certified ski instructor.
As a ROTC graduate, Bailey was called to active duty in the Army after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Thanks to his skiing credentials, Bailey was transferred to the 10th Mountain Division and became a Company commander. As an officer he looked out for his fellow Vermonters. During training he discovered that Clem Curtis of Stowe, who had been a ski instructor with Bailey, had been assigned to the snowshoe outfit. Bailey asked Clem why he was snowshoeing and Clem's response was "this is where they put me!" Bailey quickly got Clem reassigned to Bailey's skiing company.
The 10th Mountain Division is best known for its service in the Italian campaign. The Battle of Torbole in Italy was the last battle in the European theater of WWII. Bailey's Company was part of the Battalion that successfully took Torbole from the Germans. The Battalion commander had received a minor injury in that action so Bailey became the acting commander just in time for the German counterattack. Bailey's grandson Skyler Bailey is a historian who has chronicled the battle in his work "Reconstructing the Battle of Torbole: A Neglected Episode in the History of the 10th Mountain Division in World War Two." Bailey's Company and Battalion were in danger of being cut-off and overrun by the Germans. Bailey called for more support for the Battalion, but he was at headquarters rather than with his troops. Bailey then worked his way through the battle to be back with his men as they fended off the counterattack and held Torbole. Bailey received the Silver Star for his actions at the Battle of Torbole.
The news that the counterattack had failed traveled through the German ranks quickly and they fled through the alpine passes into Austria. When the 10th entered the village of Arco they found the Germans had left behind prisoners including two local girls who were scheduled to be executed for delivering unrationed bread to townspeople. In the 1990s Everett Bailey gave a talk on the Italian campaign at the Army Mountain Warfare School in Jericho, Vermont. One of the officers listening to his talk told the story of recently being in Italy training with the Alpini, the Italian mountain troops. One of the Alpini invited the officer to have dinner with his extended family in Arco. At the dinner, the matriarch of the family gave a long emotional speech in Italian. She had been one of the two girls liberated by the 10th Mountain Division in WWII.
Everett Bailey returned to Burlington after WWII. One of his first jobs was selling ski wax and paint for Fritz Wiessner. In 1950 he began a 30 year career with E.B. & A.C. Whiting Company where he would become President and CEO. He also stayed involved with the US Army Reserves rising to the rank of Colonel. Bailey died in 2014 at the age of 96. He was truly a member of the "Greatest Generation!"

A lot of disorders arise from not eating right and a good number of them don't even manifest until they have caused a lot of damages. Eating right, not only help you stay healthy, it helps you psychologically and financially. Financially? Yes, as you are about to find out in this article. How Do You Know You Are Eating Right?
Observe and listen to the subtle messages sent to you by your body. Whether our body is healthy or not, we get messages from our body but often times, we don't listen. Likewise, if we are eating right or not eating right, we get messages from our body too.
Here are five key signs to know you are eating right;
1. On Top Of Your Game All Day
Eating right gives you energy and makes you stay mentally active all-day. This is a fact and I have found this to be true by observing myself and other people in my workplace too. It is one of the reasons you should not miss your breakfast ever again. You have enough energy throughout the day if your diet is fulfilling your needs and work requirements. Too much coffee consumption too can be implicated in this as you can have a crash or breakdown of energy towards the middle of or later on the day.
2. You Sleep Well At Night
A lot of things, including diet can keep you awake or make you have sleeps in which you wake up frequently. When you have these kind of nights, you wake up tired in the morning. When you don't sleep well at night, a lot of things can cause this but a good way to start checking is your diet. What kind of food do you eat in the day and towards bedtime? What is the space between the time you eat and time you go to bed? These are good questions to ask?
3. You Don't Have Mood Swings
Yes, when you have even mood, then you can be sure you are eating right. Although, mood swings can be caused by other factors, when you have even mood, you are eating right. Having said this, when you have mood swings or anxiety and have eliminated other possibilities, or starting to check what the possibilities are, you may want to check your diet. Too much of foods such as sugar, alcohol, caffeinated coffee, etc., can cause mood swings and anxiety.
4. Always Well Hydrated
Dehydration usually results from drinking too little water in a day, thereby causing thirst, dry lips, and dry skin. Other factors that could result in dehydration include drinking too much caffeine and alcohol. Totally avoiding them is what I usually advise.
5 . You go to the toilet everyday
Not literally as stated in the title because people go to the toilet to smoke sometimes. Going to the toilet here means you actually go to the toilet to do what the toilet is designed for.
This is avery good sign you are eating right and including the right amount of fibers in your diet, they turn your bowel often and make you go do the dump.
I mentioned at the beginning of this article that eating right saves you money and yes, it is true. You are not eating right if you eat at restaurants and eateries. These foods have been implicated in a lot of conditions and food poisoning cases. Cooking at home will not only give you quality and safe food but also saves you more money.
There are some other factors or signs that you can actually look out for in order to know if you are eating right, these are just some of the ones you can easily notice.

Always show accented keys Respondida0 votos 2 comentários
Is it possible to set swiftkey to always show keys with accented characters? E.g. in a separate line, like in xperia keyboard, which is now unfortunately dropped by Sony in favour of swiftkey. If swiftkey doesn't know this setting, I have to search for something else.
Question about email domain fill list Respondida2 votos 3 comentários
when entering an email address with Swiftkey, there's the key with the @-sign to the right of the space bar. When doing a long press, it offers a list of domain names (for me "@yahoo.com", "@hotmail.com" and "@gmail.com") for quick fill. Is there any way to edit this list? I would love to add a few entries to this list.
Best regards,

Turn off auto - cursor move Respondida12 votos 13 comentários
The feature that I find the most annoying, and would like the option to turn off, is the auto move of the cursor to the end of the word. When I want to insert/correct a character, I press on the location within the word, and the cursor moves to the end of the word! I have all the arrow keys displayed at the bottom of the keyboard, so pressing on the location & adjusting with the arrow keys is super fast. Except the cursor jumps to the end of the word! I think this feature was added a couple of years ago. It still gets in the way. I haven't found a fast workaround, so an option to turn it off would be much appreciated.
Strikethrough font Respondida0 votos 2 comentários
Hello, I was wondering if SwiftKey has a keyboard that is strictly a strike-through English alphabet, as in swiping the space bar gives a full swiping qwerty keyboard. I haven't had much luck searching for keyboards with this feature but SwiftKey is so comprehensive I thought I may not be looking in the right place. Thanks in advance!
How can I disable multilingual predictions? Respondida24 votos 43 comentários
How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).
It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.
Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.

Add to dictionary Respondida1 voto 11 comentários

How can I disable incognito theme? Respondida8 votos 10 comentários
I am not liking this new theme and how it automatically takes over my custom theme. I've been a big fan of SwiftKey, but this will force me to change keyboards. I absolutely do not like the layout change that happens. Please give an option to change.
Thank you!
Custom Keyboard Layout Respondida2 votos 5 comentários
I switched over to SwiftKey since I could see my text boxes but I'm not use to the current layout of the keyboard. I prefer to have my symbols on the left and my numbers visible without tapping on their own tab. And I like to have my emoji tab right next to my space bar on the left and not have to hold down on enter/send to get them. And way to change that sorta thing on here?

Easier way to do a question mark? Respondida1 voto 5 comentários
I currently do a question mark by:
- press-and-hold on period (bottom right)
- slide over to question mark, then release
I always find it quite awkward. Is there an easier why to do a question mark?
Can I remap question mark to another key maybe?
Ideally I'd like a rapid double-tap of period to produce a question mark
Can you fine tune autocorrect? Respondida1 voto 19 comentários
I'm finding SwiftKey incredibly annoying for a few different reasons: firstly because it autocorrects words that are legitimately words (i.e. not nonsense from poor typing); and secondly because it autocorrects when searching from address bar in Google.
These two things are very undesirable behaviours for me and they drive me bonkers.
I don't just want to turn autocorrect off, though, because I do want it to fix up genuine mistakes.
Is there a way to tune the settings so that I can turn off the things I don't want??

Really not liking this new Bing search bar. I removed the app and downloaded an older apk from apk mirror. Just one or two .https://pnrstatus.vip/ versions behind. None of them will install however. When i hit the apk it says installing for a bit then it says "APK not installed". Only the current version will install on my galaxy Note 8 running android 8.0. Tried https://sarkariresult.onl/ multiple reboots, clearing cache and data for the app as well as clearing cache of the phone itself. Have they prevented downgrades somehow ?

Sync Clipboard Respondida4 votos 8 comentários
I see there other posts on these but the *status is closed without any conclusion.*
How important does SwiftKey think is a good idea to sync Clipboard? This often consists of my usernames or passport number, greeting messages to my clients. And after every phone reset or phone device upgrade, I have to redo everything again. I need to take the trouble of copying every clipboard pinned texts to Evernote and then put it in SwiftKey. We are heading into 2020.

Taipei-Eighty-two minutes and 56 seconds after lift-off from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California Friday, the first Taiwan-made satellite FormoSat-5 started communications with planet earth, according to the Hsinchu-based National Space Organization (NSPO).
In a statement, NSPO said that at 4:13 a.m. Taiwan time, its ground antenna in Svalbard, Norway received signals from FormoSat-5, which was launched into the 720-km orbit by SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket 11 minutes 19 seconds after liftoff at 2:50 a.m.
"The success of the first contact marks a milestone of FormoSat-5," said the statement. It noted that its first contact to Taiwan station is expected by 9:44 a.m.
Science and Technology Minister Chen Liang-gee (???)and NARLabs President Wang Yeong-her (???)were elated by the successful first contact with the Norway station.
In about two weeks, FormoSat-5's Remote Sensing Instrument and Advanced Ionospheric Probe will beginning providing data that can be used for national security, geopolitical, scientific and academic purposes, NSPO said.
NSPO is part of National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs) which was established in June 2003 after combining 10 national labs into an independent institute.

A JEALOUSY ISSUE – If The Flames Don't Kill Us We Will
With the original singer from Poison the Well, this band is pumping out a fabulous melodic hardcore sound. Coming straight out of Florida these guys bring out all the emotion of hardcore in a plush but rough way. At first when I put it in I got a death metal feel, especially since I saw that they were from Florida. It's got a death metal sound to it in the beginning, and then it becomes more melodic hardcore after you get past the first 2 minutes of the first song. I love the sometimes soft guitar riffs in the background at some points. The vocals are another great point, they are so forceful and when he's doing spoken word it sounds just as great. He could of done the entire album either way and it would have been perfect, but doing both made it just that much better! The lyrics speak so much of love and egotism couldn't ask for a such a great mass of music, vocals and lyrics to be put together. The very end of the CD is the absolute best too! I refuse to give away what it is though, you'll just have to go get the CD and find out for yourself, I assure that most of you will recognize it.

I had an amazing 9 days at the start of the boating season with my son thanks to the Aquaventure club. On this trip to North Carolina we got on everything between the paddle board and cabin cruiser. The waverunner had real low hours, and the pontoon had just been delivered. One tip: Shoot for the weekday membership as the boats seemed to be more available and the lake was wide open except for occasional fishermen (tournament I think). My son was setting a reminder on my phone before our plane touched down on the return trip home so I won't forget to start scheduling our next trip to Lake Norman, NC. I'd say this trip was a success!
Frank labarbera
We just joined the club in Feb of 2018. The entire staff at both Marinas are extremely pleasant and accommodating. This was most certainly the right decision for us as relatively new to the boating world, its a great to be able to explore different types of boat, depending an what we are looking to do for the day. Thank you to the entire staff for making this experice, fun, safe and pleasant for my entire family!
Hod Ridings
This will be our 8th season with Aquaventures and we are very pleased. We average 20 to 30 times out on the lake each season and now that my grandson is getting older I plan to do more fishing throughout the year. I have owned boats most of my life but with the various boat types available Aquaventure is the most cost effective and enjoyable experience for our family and we love it out on the lake!
Joanne Moser
Most Efficient and Friendly, so glad AquaVenture is at All Seasons Marina!!
Joe Melrose
We have been members of Aquaventure for 2 years and wouldn't go anywhere else! Dustin and his staff provide phenomenal customer service and the boats are always ready when we arrive!!

Thought Adjuster: "The thought entered your mind that Jesus is forever relevant. His exemplary life and teachings are timeless, therefore never obsolete—they are of the 'innovative classics' category, appropriate for all age groups and the guidance they provide is applicable to any given situation—like a spiritual master key. As well, they demonstrate the far-reaching ripple effects of a God-centered life—through time and space, and beyond.
"Another point I wish to make is that, in order to reach Godlikeness, you cannot bypass Christlikeness. How so? Jesus stated over and over that "He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life." Indeed, during His human incarnation, He role modeled for His vast family of time and space the How-to-Reach-Godlikeness within the span of a short human incarnation.
"You could think that He was an extraordinary super achiever—a type A spiritual personality—way out of your league. Yet, such was not the case, as everything and anything He did was done in a humble mode of constant service, sharing His increasing personal enlightenment while remaining closely connected and accessible to those who looked up to Him for spiritual guidance, having recognized that His authentic experience shattered the many crystalized ceilings of traditions.
"No one comes to the Father but through Me" was not a narcissistic statement but a mere statement of facts. As the Son of Man, He set the first human precedent of reaching the character fullness of godlikeness. This is the reason why His life is a timeproof source of inspiration—forever relevant, as it was grounded in absolute Truth, immune to the whims and fluctuations of relative truth. To these days, Jesus reiterates to each one of you a heartfelt "Follow Me!"—an invitation to let Him lead you to a much higher state of spiritual awareness from which you can harvest the many Fruits of Spirit hanging from the branches of His living tree. He invites you to this amazing All-You-Can-Eat spiritual banquet where each soul gets satiated according to its nutritional needs."
