This weekend our spotlight falls on one of the brightest Soca starlets, Kisha Joseph. Even before giving us the "D'Vibe" there seemed to be something very "Low Key" about the artiste formerly known as Sweet Kay. She started her musical journey at her Alma Mata, Corinth Secondary School, where she got her first taste of competition after taking part in her school's calypso competition. She placed second that year and then went on to participate and win the Mathematics Soca competition in 2014.
"The riddim I sang on was sent to me by Soca icon Fay Ann Lyons from Trinidad and Tobago. That same year I took second place in my school's groovy and power Soca competitions," a still gleaming Kisha told us.
In 2015 she received her big break, performing as a guest artiste at the Groovy and Power Soca monarch competitions but up until this year, she was hardly a household name. Let's find out a little bit more about the lady who has made it ok to "dance" with T.P.M.
When did you first realise that this is your calling and how did you break into the industry?
-From a tender age I've always been into music so it's been in me naturally, but into 2014 I decided to record my first power Soca track "Fire waist" which was produced by Scottish
Tell us about the struggles you faced as a new artiste and what has changed this year.
– The struggles I've encountered are criticisms, which is expected, and not enough air play of some of my songs. This year I've branched out to a different genre of music and I realised that persons have an appreciation for controversial songs.
How did the collaboration with you and Mata happen for T.P.M?
-Well I always wanted to work with Mata because the two of us have a good musical relationship and he is also part of the Dennery segment, so the idea came to mind that I should try a Kuduro because I believe that I have the potential to sing different genres of songs. The rest is history. Mata came to my house and we worked on the song in one day. The concept for TPM: I had it in mind from since last year.
You have been receiving a lot of criticisms on social media for the song, how do you deal with detractors and stay focussed on your goal?
-People never like the truth especially when it refers to them because this is something that's been happening in our everyday lives. Many persons have embraced the song while there are others who have criticized it. From the time I entered the industry I had already prepared myself for the critics because I know that would come, but i do not let it break me down cause at the end of the day it is just music and I am not one that could be broken down so easily.
At Soca Switch you did a freestyle that really surprised and excited the crowd is that a new part of Kisha we can expect to see more of?
– Lol"well you can expect a lot from me in the future, but I will keep it quiet for now and save the surprises for later. I am growing in the industry I'm no longer the little girl who started. I am a big girl now.
Your second song with Red Boys birthed your first major title, did you anticipate that from Vaval Vibes and will we hear more from you and the Red Boys?
– Certainly. Vaval Vibes is a very good song, I've been getting alot of compliments about it. The song speaks for itself. It's all about Lucian carnival. I would like to encourage the deejays to push the song as I believe it is a wonderful theme song for our carnival and it can also market our tourism industry.
What is the ultimate goal for you as an artiste?
– I will continue to push my music and hope one day that my music will take me in the right direction that I want it to go, which is outside the boarders, because in order to make it you need the right set of people in your corner. I hope that my dream can become a reality so that I can represent St Lucia to the fullest.
Who is your idol and inspiration in the industry?
-My idol is Destra. She has always been my inspiration. I've always pictured myself on a stage doing what she does and I am pleased to say that the two of us maintain a close friendship and we've been in touch with each other.

Concerned Individuals Raise Hope for Virachey National Park
A Cambodia-based conservationist recently described Virachey National Park as a place littered with the bodies of NGOs that tried to save it. Even the mighty World Bank is counted among the casualties. When the Bank pulled out in 2008, the wildlife conservation groups grabbed some of their dead and wounded from the forests and hopped on the last helicopters out.

Yay or Nay: Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss
I'm trying to remember if I ever tried Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss prior to today. I could swear I had one a really time ago but can't for the life of me remember if I liked it or not…hmm….that's what happens when you're a beauty junkie, you simply forget what you have and haven't tried. It all begins to run together and you start experiencing sad little senior moments and brain farts as you try to recall product details. This is around the time they stick you in a beauty nursing home, this would be where all fabulous beauty junkies go after their mind is burnt out from too much product.
What do you think of Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss?
Yay or Nay?
Well…I got a crumb load of Avon Glazewear to try this week and I was kinda impressed particularly because they will only set you back $6 bucks each (sometimes cheaper during a sale). They have 'em in a wide variety of colors and finishes plus the affordable price tag always helps so I gotta say, at this point in my testing, I'm going to say Yay!
Do share!
Really curious how you're feeling about Glazewear and whether you're yay'ing all the way or no way'ing them.

The Honest to Goodness Truth on ResumePosted on
Regardless of how outdated you are it is by no means too late to make a career change or provoke the process of career planning. If you have by no means made a career plan, you could be missing out on nice opportunities carefully aligned with your true calling. Perhaps you have obtained inventive interests that you've solely considered a pastime quite than a legit skilled objective. It's essential to do not forget that there are literally artistic jobs on the market. Remember, the Internet has given rise to a new set of entrepreneurs who are making their goals come true and committing themselves to their passions.

My will remains strong–barely. By mere chance, Friday saw me perusing the store once more (perhaps if I avoided the mall altogether….) And, as if the train, and Lord of the Rings kits weren't enough, they now have an array of superhero kits. I suspect a conspiracy to separate me from my money. Will this assault on my bank balance never end?
Which one do you think looks the best? My vote goes to Thor–though I thought he'd be taller.

CAROLINE KALOMBE, PRISCILLA CHIPULU, Lusaka
UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) Chilanga Member of Parliament Keith Mukata and his co-accused, Charmaine Musonda, yesterday pleaded not guilty to murder in the Lusaka High Court.
And a Lusaka woman, Tshiabu Benos, accused of murdering Auto Force proprietor Reeves Malambo, broke down in court yesterday after she denied causing his death.
In the earlier case, Mukata, 45, a lawyer and politician, and Musonda, a business executive of 2158 Lusaka West, are charged with the murder of Namakau Kalila kwenda.
When the case came up for plea before High Court judge Susan Wanjelani, the duo said they understood the charge, but denied committing the offence.
Mukata and Musonda are represented by three lawyers, Eric Silwamba, Lubinda Linyama and Willis Muhanga.
Mukata came to court clad in a black suit and white shirt, and appeared unperturbed as he sat in the courtroom. He chatted with some of the lawyers that went to greet him.
Musonda was clad in a sky blue knee length jacket, a blue top and a cream chitenge wrapped underneath the jacket. She appeared calm and collected as the charge was read out.
Particulars of the offence are that on May 6, 2017, the duo jointly, and whilst acting together, allegedly murdered Namakau Kalila Kwenda, 63, a security guard of Lusaka's Ng'ombe Township, at Mukata's law firm in Rhodes Park.
The case has been adjourned to September 8, 2017.
Meanwhile, Tshiabu Benos, accused of murdering Mr Malambo broke down in court as she denied causing his death.
Dressed in black, Benos, who appeared distraught, could not hold her tears as she wept throughout the opening of the September criminal session of the High Court.
And when her case was called, the sorrowful Benos was kept wiping her tears as she took her stand.
After a plea of not guilty was recorded by high court judge Getrude Chawatama, Benos said she understood the charge, but denied it.
She is represented by five lawyers from the legal aid clinic for women, and another lawyer Barnabas Bwalya from Kaswata and Company.
Benos, 38, of Ibex Hill, is accused of murdering Mr Malambo after a fight between January 7 and 13, 2017.
Prior to her committal to the High court, Benos applied for a preliminary inquiry in which she accused Mr Malambo, 48, of wanting to decapitate her.
In the application filed, Benos said on January 29, 2017, Mr Malambo allegedly locked her up in the bedroom where he attempted to decapitate her using a knife he got from the pantry.
Judge Chawatama set September 11, 2017, as date for commencement of trial.

Dr Tom Widger, Founder/Curator Tom has been involved in the ethnographic study of suicide in Sri Lanka for more than 10 years. His PhD thesis was based on 2 years' fieldwork in community and clinical settings, alongside census and archive research. In 2011 Tom was awarded an Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) Post-Doctoral Fellowship. Tom has published several articles on suicide in Sri Lanka, and is co-editor of Ethnographies of Suicide, a special issue of Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry. He is currently working on his first monograph. The book traces the effects of social and cultural processes on meanings and practices of suicide and self-harm in Sri Lanka.
Dr James Staples, Member After completing a first degree in anthropology in 1990 I worked for nearly ten years as a journalist before my ongoing fascination with South India drew me back to SOAS, University of London, to undertake a PhD. Thanks to ESRC and British Academy Fellowships I was able to stay on there for four years after completion as a post-doctoral fellow, broadening out my initial research on the social consequences of leprosy to consider how attitudes towards negatively construed bodily differences in India are shaped by – and shape – ideas about what constitutes human completeness. A further 16-months' fieldwork in Hyderabad examined how the category of disability is constituted in multiple ways, and how it is experienced by disabled people in their day-to-day interactions. I joined Brunel as a lecturer in January 2007, returning regularly to my original field site to pursue new research on various topics, including food and social mobility, and suicide.
Tharindi Udalagama, Member Tharindi Udalagama graduated from the Department of Sociology, University of Colombo in 2010 with a First Class honours in Sociology and is currently a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Colombo. She has been working with the project Biomedical and Health Experimentation in South Asia for the past two years as a Research Fellow, managing the fieldwork in Sri Lanka, which included observation at case study sites, in-depth interviews with respondents, writing and presenting from the project outcomes. Her research interests include science and technology studies, bioethics, policy studies, and suicide in rural settings.

Surbhi thanks Sumit. Sumit asks how did you know this? Surbhi tells him talking to Pandit ji and he tells her that he is going to Harak Singh's house for Harman's marriage. He asks why Harman is remarrying? Surbhi asks him not to ask her. Sumit says ok and removes the sim from the mobile.

After everyone goes out of room, Harak

MAINSTREAM Documentary Donor is Matching Your Donations!
How Hollywood Movies and the New York Media Are Promoting the Globalist Agenda
Progress Report
Dear MAINSTREAM ASSOCIATE,
I have some good news. Since my last Progress Report of 27 May informing you that the production budget was depleted and we had to stop work on MAINSTREAM – a total of 38 of you rallied with donations averaging about $140 each. As a result we were able to commence editing and now have the first 24 minutes of MAINSTREAM Part 2 done. Thank you very much for proving that many of you want to see this movie completed.
Special thanks must go to those who donated well above the average. This group consists of Gerald Tufts, David Bulmore and Richard Gullotti who each donated $250. It also includes Leslie Baird, Cristy Zook, Lorraine Sterling, Joel Faust and John T. Law who each donated $500. This was a happy acknowledgement that you folks care that much about getting this film done that you would do this. Thank you so much – you are priceless citizens.
As an incentive for those of you who are thinking about making a donation, I am informed by an anonymous donor that he will match donations up to the sum of $10,000. This means for every dollar you donate, this donor will ALSO donate a dollar. This is exciting, because we don't need all that much to get this documentary done. Given this, if each one of you reading this were to donate $100, that would be equivalent to a donation of $200 each because of the multiplier effect. The donation URL is www.MainstreamMedia.us/donate
Excerpt 2 – John McManus/Edwin Vieira https://youtu.be/5EYHh_rAJ6M
Excerpt 3 – Sam Chew/Pastor Baldwin https://youtu.be/u19QArinl4Q
Excerpt 4 – Stewart Rhodes/G. Edward Griffin https://youtu.be/Zd4TDekcTs8
1. Total running time of MAINSTREAM Parts 1 – 4 will be 213 minutes. We now have about 78 min done to date, need to edit 135 minutes.
Those who donated, and the experts who courageously interviewed, are like the 300 warriors who confronted the Persian Army at the Battle of Thermopylae. We may save a portion of Western Civilization by encouraging others to make documentaries about the Mainstream Media that is now trying to destroy Western Civilization.
And remember, if you pray for somebody else to speak out — or to stand up and defend our liberties — realize YOU are somebody.

Carrefour Poland To Reduce Weight Of Private-Label Packaging
Published on Dec 5 2018 1:04 PM in Private Label tagged: Carrefour / Poland / Carrefour Polska / Crumbies
Carrefour Poland has committed to reducing the weight of its private-label packaging – including reducing the amount of plastic therein – by 5% by 2022.
The retailer has already reduced the weight for its popular Crumbies private-label breakfast products, resulting in a total reduction in weight over one year of three quarters of a tonne.
In January, the retailer reported that it would turn its attention to reducing the packaging of another product group.
Environmental Boost
Carrefour Poland also said that it is taking other steps to improve the environmental credentials of its own-brand products, increasing the number of seafood products that are MSC certified, and also introducing products certified with the FSC mark, which indicates that they have been developed in accordance with responsible forest management principles.
The retailer is also a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) group, aimed at promoting responsible palm oil cultivation.
It recently introduced the Jakość z Natury Carrefour (Quality from Nature Carrefour) range, which is developed in cooperation with farmers, growers and producers using sustainable agricultural methods.

Apple Inc is reportedly prepping a new watch-like device which would run on iOS platform and perform functions of a smartphone.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the company's manufacturing partner, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, is already developing various technologies which could be used in the wearable 'iWatch'. The device is in the pipeline as part of the company's strategy to expand its market beyond smartphones and tablets.
"Foxconn, as Hon Hai is also known, has been working on a spate of technologies that could be used in wearable devices, one of these people said. In particular, the Taiwan-based company has been working to address the challenges of making displays more power-efficient and working with chip manufacturers to strip down their products," WSJ reported.
In a separate report, The New York Times also reported about Apple's experiment of a new wrist watch with curved glass. The report cited 'people familiar with the company's explorations' as saying that the watch could be used to pay mobile bills.
"Such a watch could also be used to make mobile payments, with Apple's Passbook payment software," reported The NewYork Times.
Apple declined to comment on the matter. It is not clear how the watch would look like, but reports also suggested that the iWatch would come with Siri and Apple Maps. The New York Times noted that the rumoured watch will also have Willow Glass - a tough glass that is bendable as paper from the ultra-tough Gorilla Glass manufacture Corning.
Last week, former Apple employee Bruce Tognazzini wrote in a blog post, "The iWatch will fill a gaping hole in the Apple ecosystem. It will facilitate and coordinate not only the activities of all the other computers and devices we use, but a wide array of devices to come."
"Like other breakthrough Apple products, its value will be underestimated at launch, then grow to have a profound impact on our lives and Apple's fortunes."

Dare to Pray These Dangerous Prayers: An Interview with Craig Groeschel
by Admin
Do you ever wonder, "Why doesn't God answer my prayers?" Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Are you tired of playing it safe with your faith? Does prayer really move the heart of God? What does it mean to pray boldly and powerfully? What are dangerous prayers?
In this Q&A, Craig Groeschel (@craiggroeschel) talks about his book, Dangerous Prayers: Because Following Jesus Was Never Meant to Be Safe (Zondervan, 2020).Read the Bible Gateway Blog post, So You Want to Be Useful to God…]
Explain your book's message.
Craig Groeschel: I'm incredibly passionate about this book because it's really a reflection of the personal struggles I've had with my prayer life. I think there are many Christians who know they should pray, who want to have great faith when they pray, but often don't. We get easily distracted or we end up praying really safe, boring prayers, like, "God, bless my food and keep me safe today." You almost wonder if God sits in heaven going, "You're probably going to be okay today, you're probably going to be safe. And you want me to bless your double cheeseburger and fries? I'll do the best I can with that or whatever."
This book really is born out of my own desire for more in my prayer life. Hopefully, I can help give people a pathway to fall more intimately in love with God by not praying safe, docile prayers, but instead have more of a daring, radical faith to believe in a God who says all things are possible through him.[Read the Bible Gateway Blog post, What It Means to Hope in Jesus: An Interview with Craig Groeschel]
What was your writing process for this book?
Craig Groeschel: Well, there was a guy that joked with me one time and asked me if I really believed God could do anything. I said yes. He asked if I really believed in the power of prayer, and I said yes again. His response was something like, "Good, I asked because your prayers are so lame." He was critiquing my prayer life and pointing out how flat, boring, and dull it was. It really stuck with me and convicted me. I realized I was praying for the same things, in the same way, over and over again. In other contexts, people say, "If you want something different, you have to do something different." I wanted more with God, but my prayer life hadn't changed.
This book was born out of a personal desire to stretch my faith. I studied this and shared a lot of these ideas with our church. What I found is that it really resonated with many Christians who are sick and tired of what I call self-centered Christianity, where all the prayers are about me, what I want, and what I hope God will do for me. Instead, these prayers are more selfless, more God-centered, more others-focused, and more eternity-minded than praying about the normal day-to-day stuff we often focus on.
Are you saying no prayer should be safe?
Craig Groeschel: I think prayer is inherently dangerous because we're surrendering and submitting our desires to God. I wouldn't ever say don't pray for the safety of your kids. I think any loving parent would want their kids to be safe. I don't think I'd ever say don't pray that you have a good day, because I hope you do have a great day. But if our prayers are only for parking spots and blessing food, we're almost insulting our God who can do so much more.
When I look at some of the prayers in Scripture, they're much more dangerous. In one of the prayers we talk about in the Old Testament, David asked God and gave God permission to search him. That's a dangerous prayer: search me, God. Then he prayed, "See if there is any offensive way in me." In other words, if there's any part of me that's impure, unclean, unrighteous, displeasing to you, God, I give you permission to show it to me. That's not a prayer I was taught to pray growing up in Sunday School. That's a dangerous prayer. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. "God, I give you permission, in fact, I invite you to do something more in me, to search my heart. I'll bare my soul before you." When I started praying that particular prayer, God started showing me more impurities in my own soul that he would help cleanse through that dangerous prayer.[Read the Bible Gateway Blog post, Divine Direction: An Interview with Craig Groeschel]
What is another prayer you cover in the book?
Craig Groeschel: I almost hate to tell you the second one because it's so scary and dangerous to pray. But I'll give you the story behind it. When we were starting Life.Church, I had a mentor who was an expert in church planting. His name is Gary Walter. He's helped a lot of people plant really strong, life-giving churches. We had breakfast one time and he was giving me advice. He said, "I have one promise for you, that I guarantee God's going to do." I was so excited because we were starting this new church, and I thought he was going to say, "God's going to use it to reach people and hundreds are going to come to faith in Christ." So, I was leaning in, waiting for this great promise, and he said, "My only promise is this: through the church you start, God will break you." When he said it, it was like all the life in my body just oozed out. It was a bit of a shock to think about how God would break me.
That one conversation started me on a journey where I asked myself, "Am I willing to actually have the faith to pray and ask God to break me?" After I talked about this at our church, I went to my small group where we were in a cozy living room with a fire going and music playing. Almost everyone in the group said, "I'm too afraid to pray that." We don't want pain. We don't want hardships. But we know when we read Scripture that the difficult things are the very things that God often uses to strengthen us, to draw us close to Jesus, to conform us to the image of his will, to create within us a spirit of perseverance. It's the hard things that often change us. We're even told to consider it pure joy when we face trials, and yet we're often praying away the very things that make us closest to Jesus. So, that's a really long answer to the second prayer we talk about in the book, which is the prayer "Break me, God. I give you permission to do whatever it takes to bring me to a place of complete dependence on you."
Why do you say "send me" could be the most dangerous prayer of all?
Craig Groeschel: This prayer comes from the Old Testament, in Isaiah chapter 6. It's a really bad year for God's people. The beloved King Uzziah, who everyone loved and trusted, had died. Isaiah sees a vision of the Lord in his temple and these angelic beings worshiping God, and God asks the question, "Who is going to go and do my mission?"
What I love about Isaiah is that he's so counter-cultural to what we'd have today. If there's an assignment somewhere, we want to know how much we're going to get paid, what the benefits are, what's the school system going to be like, if we like the climate, if we're going to be comfortable. We want all these details. Instead, Isaiah prayed a very, very dangerous prayer: "Here I am, Lord. [I don't need to know any details. I'm not even going to ask any questions. If you ask me to do something, my answer is going to be yes.] Here I am, send me.
Why do you think these three prayers are the most important prayers for someone to pray?
Craig Groeschel: I think there are a lot of different ways to pray dangerous prayers. Jesus prayed, "Not my will, but your will be done." That's a prayer of surrender that's dangerous.
I chose these prayers because, in my mind, they most get in the face of what I call cultural Christianity. Today, in some parts of the world, like where I live, it's pretty easy to call yourself a Christian but not really live like it. You can comfortably say you believe in God but, most of the time, not have to change the way you live. These three dangerous prayers we talk about are incredibly counter-cultural and can really help us grow closer to Jesus.
Why do you think it's so difficult for us to want to pray these dangerous prayers?
Craig Groeschel: I think ultimately, what we want is for God to do what we want, and that's why our prayers are safe: "God, bless me, protect me, help my kids grow up fine, help me win the lottery." Whatever it is, our safe prayers are asking God to do things that benefit me. These prayers aren't saying, "God, you're here to serve me." They're saying, "God, I'm here to serve you."
Jesus didn't call us to be safe. He didn't call us to be comfortable. He didn't call us to be cozy. He called us to deny ourselves and follow him. That's a dangerous calling. "Search me, show me my sin." That's dangerous. "Break me, God, of myself, my own self-sufficiency." That's dangerous. "Send me, God, anywhere. Interrupt me and my answer is yes." That's an incredibly dangerous prayer. And I believe on the other side of that is real intimacy, real faith, and ultimately, real effectiveness and fruitfulness for God.
Who did you write this book for?
Craig Groeschel: I wrote Dangerous Prayers for people who would say they're a Christian, but they know there's something more. They feel stuck. They might go to church sometimes, and they might even try to pray, but they haven't sensed the presence of God in a long time. Maybe they haven't ever seen a movement of God in their lives. They know they have spiritual gifts, they want to make a difference, and yet, they're not living out the full potential of their calling. I believe, often times, it's out of a posture of safety.
In the book, I talk about praying dangerous prayers by using the parts of the body that God created. I actually pray a version of this every day. I start with my mind, my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my arms, and then my feet. I'll pray, "God, give me the mind of Christ. May my thoughts be pleasing to you. May my eyes only look on things that are pure. God, when it comes to my ears, may I hear your truth and reject the lies of the evil one. May the words of my mouth be pleasing to you. May I lift others up and point them to Jesus. God, I know my heart is deceitful above all things. God, cleanse and purify my heart. May my hands offer your love and assistance to people. May my feet take me to places where I can deliver the good news of who Jesus is." Those are dangerous prayers that you can start off the day with and say, "With every part me, God, I want to consecrate myself to you for your purposes and your service."
I believe this book will speak to the people who'd say they're curious about Christ and want to serve Jesus, but their life doesn't reflect it. For someone who says they look more like the culture than they do like something that's different, and they want more.
Why is it so significant to surrender ourselves each day with these dangerous prayers?
Craig Groeschel: These aren't prayers to pray only once, just like following Jesus isn't a onetime decision. The apostle Paul said he died to himself daily. This is incredibly important because the trajectory of our heart naturally is deceitful. It's not toward the things of God, but it's toward the things of this world. If we're a follower of Christ, there's a battle going on every day between our flesh, or our sinful nature, and our spiritual nature. Every day we have to die and crucify that fleshly nature.
So, every day we pray, "God, I want you to search me and show me where I'm off track today." Every day, "God, I allow you to break me. If there's something that needs to be cleansed or transformed, break me." Every day, "God, I'm on call, I want to be available to do your will." For me, I wake up thinking about my agenda and what I want to accomplish. But a "send me" prayer, helps me say, "God, I'm looking for you to interrupt me. I want to have eyes to see the needs and people who I can help and bless and serve and show God's love to. It disrupts the trajectory that's headed toward self, and it moves our heart toward heaven.
Why is this book needed today?
Craig Groeschel: Many people look at my life and think that because I have a good marriage, a good wife, good kids, and I'm leading a good church that I must be madly and passionately in love with Jesus. But truthfully, there have been many times where I'm distracted and living for things that don't matter. If I can get to that place in this environment where I'm a pastor and surrounded by the things of God every day, think about the mom who is raising three kids, working two jobs. Or the dad who is trying his best to pay the bills, or the student who is facing all kinds of temptation. If it's really, really difficult for me, I'm assuming it's really, really difficult for a lot of people.
I wrote Dangerous Prayers with a raw, gut-level passion and knowing that I wanted this and needed this. I wasn't even sure I could translate my thoughts into words, but I wanted to do everything I could to pour my heart out about my brokenness, my selfishness, my small prayers, my faithlessness, my dead prayers, the times when I don't pray, the times I don't even know if prayer works, the times when I just want to give up. I wanted to open up my heart and put words on the page that inspire people to pursue a real, raw faith with God. I wouldn't say I have it all the time, but when I have it, the fire is something I wouldn't trade for anything.
What would you say to someone who is scared to pray these prayers?
Craig Groeschel: Most of us can look back on a time where we went through something that we wouldn't wish on anyone, but we also wouldn't trade it for anything. That to me is what the other side of these prayers are like. They're daunting, they're scary, they're intimidating, and they feel like a mountain too big to climb. But when you pray it, God really will reveal something to you. You'll find yourself broken before him with nothing to depend on but him. You'll be raw, ready, and completely available for the assignments he's sending you that you never thought you were capable of doing.
You have to walk through those scary times, those low times, those broken times, and those vulnerable times to reach the other side where you can say you wouldn't change it for anything. That's when you can say it was all worth it because you've been obedient, you've been transformed through the presence of God, and you're being conformed in the image of Christ.

Tuesday's finance meeting was brief, consisting only of two items.
The first, an alleged claim for recovery of unlawful tax was put forth by Sterling Water Inc. The claim was denied unanimously.
The second item on the agenda was a $340,000 concrete improvement budget modification.
There was not sufficient money in the annual budget for concrete improvements and no other likely sources for funding for that purpose. Thus, it was proposed that funds for concrete improvements throughout the city be taken from the savings fund. In other words, the money would come from what was left over from other projects that were allotted more money than they ended up needing, items that came in under budget, or other such savings. In this way, the money would come from funds on hand and so would not increase city debt.
The proposal was approved.

The program aims to democratize news and information at the local level through a group of local contributors who attend meetings and document their observations.

In today's age of technology, mobile marketing is key to engaging your customers. A successful mobile marketing campaign does require that you do your research to get the best results. However, it is possible to run a profitable mobile marketing campaign. Use the tips here to get you started with mobile marketing. It can turn into big profits for you.
Always tailor your campaign to your customers. It's crucial to know what your customers want. If you don't know the needs and preferences of your target market, you will have difficulty gaining them as customers. In order to be successful, you need to do your homework and know all that you can about them.
For your mobile site, it's important to come up with ways to convey your information in as few words as possible. Lengthy descriptions, and action-packed landing pages filled with keywords will not work in your favor. Mobile marketing copy needs to be concise and clear.
If you are not an expert on designing for a mobile audience, then by all means, hire one. Making an appealing and attractive mobile website can be difficult. It is best to hire a professional to handle this task.
Ask your friends to test your campaign before you make it public. For an unbiased opinion, you may want to consider paying someone to help you test each aspect.
Changes within your industry and market are inevitable, which means that your total subscriber base is never fully secured. For example, technology issues can cause you to lose some of your business, so it is essential for you to stay updated on advances in this area in order to keep up with or surpass the competition.
Make sure your first campaign is successful before you start a new mobile marketing campaign. Measure your marketing success, not by immediate returns, but by the long-term effectiveness of your campaign. To build a plan you will want to look far into the future.
So, as you have seen, it is true that mobile marketing requires research, work, and effort to start bringing in the profits. It is also accurate that in order to see results that you have to keep at it. Keeping the aforementioned tips in mind, you are well on your way to being successful with it.

Jill Zarin's Shocking Confession about Ramona Singer's Husband by NMD
The credit goes to a friend from the Prairie. Her intuition led her put some clues together that linked the gossip about Mario Singer's alleged cheating to Jill Zarin. The story is about to be blown open according to a source, and we should get confirmation today that Jill was involved.
NaughtybutNiceRob tweeted:
|Naughty But Nice Rob @NaughtyNiceRob3hTune into #gossiptable at 9:30am on @VH1 we have @Jillzarin shocking confession about @ramonasinger naughty husband! IT'S JUICY!
Here is my original blog:
You Hit Me, I'll Hit Back, Did Ramona Spill Jill's Secret – and Jill Spill Hers? by NMD
The credit for piecing this one together comes from a friend on facebook with a love of Star Trek. It intrigues me enough to bring to the blog and the public realm. The history is from memory – the current is from guesswork. We know these ladies and they are both capable of this – it just about stringing the hints together.
It all started when Jill and Ramona went to the same wedding in the Hamptons a few weeks ago. Actually, it all started many years ago, and we watched it build on the Real Housewives of New York. Team Jill and Team Ramona – fighting over a silly tennis match. As Bethenny Frankel explained in the reunion of Season One of the show – the two ladies ran in the same circles – their relationship was different. Season Two opened with Bethenny and Jill sitting at Jill's table, with Bethenny telling Jill she needed to apologize for an article she "leaked" to the newpaper saying that Simon Van Kempen was falling down drunk at a party. Jill explained that Simon had hurt her for saying she was a typical Long Island girl so she hit back with the "drunk" article. Foreshadowing?
On Season Four of the show, the relationship between Jill and Ramona had sunk to an all-time low. This was the year that Jill was under fire as the most "hated" housewife of the franchise. I'm sure WE all remember that time well. Simon was taken to task on screen for mean tweets (only Kelly Bensimmon could think that Simon's tweets were mean – but this is the woman that freaked out over Bethenny giving her a gift bag) and being friends with a "hate" blogger and "stalker" by Bobby (thank you Bobby for mentioning Lynn's blog (I Hate Jill Zarin) on national TV.) The person accused of stalking was WSL, a frequent poster on Lynn's blog (and an occasional poster here). At that time, she had gone to a birthday party for Simon's children, and written about it on Lynn's blog. She lived near Jill in NY, and had gone for a walk and taken some photos of the outside of what she thought was Jill's building (based on some shots she saw on the show.) Turns out she was mistaken – that the show shots were taken of another building, but it was enough for Jill to call her a "stalker" on national TV. During this heated time, Ramona took to her Bravo blog and defended Lynn's blog, calling it funny.
Season Four deteriorated into a vitriolic hate fest, culminating in an all out attempt to label Ramona as a drunk (Ramona didn't help herself by shamelessly plugging her Pinot Grigio line every chance she got) and her husband Mario as a cheater. It was rumored that Jill pulled out all the stops, setting up fake blogs, paying people to seed blog comments, and trying to conduct an all out social media war against Ramona. Ramona struck back by insinuating that Jill was a recovering alcoholic. Jill never really denied that – just took Ramona to task for breaking the alcoholics anonymous "code." After two horrific hours of reunion footage where the ladies yelled and screamed and demeaned each other, viewers had enough, and panned the final reunion segment. This, along with the suicide of Russell Armstrong (husband of a Beverly Hills housewife) send shockwaves through Bravo management. After hemming and hawing all summer, they decided to retool the franchise, cutting Zarin, Bensimmon and Alex McChord (Simon's wife).
This move will undoubtedly go down as the worst move ever made by Bravo executive management – represented by Andy Cohen. Ratings of the show plummeted as three new ladies were brought on board. Even though Ramona Singer managed to get into fights with most of them – the raw and heated emotions of the original cast couldn't be duplicated. Do not get me wrong. I was very happy to see Zarin and Bensimmon get tossed from the show. But from a purely rating standpoint – when you have the "most hated housewife" in history on your show, you should keep her. Villains bring in the ratings. They should have just tossed Bensimmon.
That should have been the end of Zarin, but it wasn't. After Season Five closed with disappointing ratings, she was invited on Cohen's late night talk show – Watch What Happens Live – to discuss being fired. It brought in HUGE ratings. Enough so that Cohen had to go on record stating unequivocally that he stood behind the new cast and Zarin would not be invited back on the show. Actions speak louder than words, and the whole cast was put on ice – not learning for around six months if there would even be a Season Six. In contrast – Real Housewives of New Jersey finished about the same time last year – a new season was filmed and has already aired. That must have been rubbing salt in the wound to Zarin – she proved she could bring in ratings, the show needed the ratings, but Andy wouldn't have anything further to do with her.
When all seemingly seemed to have settled down, but New York is a small place, and it appears as though Jill and Ramona ran into each other at a wedding in the Hamptons on September 7th. Jill tweeted:
"Another weekend another wedding! Beautiful day!" and "Beautiful ceremony. Yes this is their house in background. Beautiful !" and tweeted a photo of her dress, standing in front of the back of the house. (Picture Credit (Jill Zarin))
Ramona also tweeted that day: "Pulling up to a wedding in southampton ride before the bride" (Picture credit (Ramona Singer))
Same bridesmaids dresses – same wedding.
A few weeks later, Star News published a story saying that Jill got drunk at a wedding and fell into the pool, then got out and went into the kitchen asking for left over lamb chops to take home to Ginger. The story was pulled the next day. When asked why the story was pulled, Jill responded on September 18th:
"Because just because you say it "doesn't make it true!" a jealous mean girl told that lie and it wasn't true. RT @RealityLuLu1 Hey @Jillzarin Is this true? Why did @Star_News pull their story?"
Interestingly, Ramona responded to that tweet on the 22nd – with a simple tag @jillzarin.
Then on the 24th – Zuzy tweeted Jill asking her if the story about her falling into the pool was true. She responded: "Ramona pushed me in i heard! RT @ZuzMiami @Jillzarin Is it true you fell in a pool at a wedding?"
Fast forward to this week – when Page 6 published a story about Mario Singer having an affair and getting a young woman pregnant. Anyone could have given that story to Page 6, but this small note on NaughtbutNiceRob's writeup makes inquiring minds suspicious (what's that about protesting too much?).
"UPDATED: The only way this story could get past NYPOST legal team is if came from someone with first hand knowledge. This would never have run if it were leaked by another housewife." see story here.
For those of us that have watched these two ladies since they came onto our TV screen, it is entirely conceivable that they are still bent on tearing each other down. Ramona is known to speak first and think later. Even on last year's reunion, there was a segment when she started to say something about LuAnn de Lesseps – and LuAnn shot her a warning look and said "do you really want to go there" and Ramona snapped her mouth shut. It is conceivable that she thought it humorous to tell a story about Jill falling into the pool. But of course, that story would not be funny at all to Jill – especially the part about being drunk. Jill's MO would be to hit back – hard. Someone hit Ramona hard. It's doesn't take much of a stretch of imagination to think it might have something to do with her former cast mate – and rehash the rumors of Mario's infidelity.
As I said earlier – this is all memory and guess work – except the part about them both being at the Hampton's wedding – that my fb friend figured out by watching their twitter timelines.
The NY ladies will always be my favorites, but this reminds me about why the IHJZ blog was so popular during the day. It makes me very tired and sad to think how their lives will be affected by these latest rumors. Is the price of being on TV worth is?
Update: In the Article about Jill falling into the pool – it also says Bobby was trolling for dates. Almost a direct link now. Thanks again to my Star Trek loving friend. (photo credit – Andy Cohen's fan page photo timeline facebook.)
Real Housewives of Miami – S3Ep11
"The Black Sheep" by HydrangeaHussy
Last week we saw Adriana & Frederic finally walk down the aisle. Hopefully we can stop dealing with the Adriana marriage scandal now. This week we get to take a trip back to Texas with Lea. Should be interesting to see where she comes from.
We begin with Lea & RJ packing for the trip to Waco, TX. I love that she has a packing list & is checking things off – I do that too, otherwise I'll get to my destination without a toothbrush or something. In her TH, she gives some info on her background. Lea says that Waco is a small town in TX & that she moved away on the day after her high school graduation. She doesn't see her large family very often, but is going for a weekend as RJ misses his cousins. She doesn't really understand why her son wants to visit TX, but she's going to make him happy. I know Lea is now the unofficial 'mayor of Miami,' but she could have the decency not to belittle her family or her hometown. For those who aren't familiar with it, Waco, TX is about halfway between Dallas & Austin. The population is about 125,000, which isn't tiny, & it's the home of Baylor University.
Lisa has been invited to travel with Lea. She & Lenny have had some tension following the wedding, so she's glad to be getting away for the weekend. Lisa tells us that she's curious to see where Lea grew up because no one knows much about Lea's history. I can't wait to see how Lisa reacts to TX!
Joanna & Romain are video chatting with Romain's biological mother. It's unclear if this is the abusive mother that he talked about in Episode 9. They all seem friendly, so it may not be. They tell his mother that they have set a wedding date & she is overjoyed! Joanna is excited to have all of her family & Romain's family at the wedding. His mother tells them that she cannot be there because she is having back surgery. Joanna says that she knows Romain is upset. They call Romain's father next. Joanna says that she has never met him in person, but only through video chats. Romain's father says that he wants to come visit after the wedding so that he can spend time with them & not be busy with wedding things. They finally call Romain's brother, who will try to take off work. Joanna asks what is wrong with the family? After 6 years, they are finally getting married & no one can be there! I would be devastated if my immediate family were unable to attend my wedding. Once again, we see the contrast between Romain & Joanna' families.
Adriana says that, now that she & Frederic are married (remember that wedding license didn't count), there is a sense of family. She wants to chaperone Alex's formal dance so she can be there with him. Alex doesn't seem keen on the idea. Frederic ushers Adriana out of the room so Alex can get ready. I see a little of Ramona in Adriana here. Both want to be involved in their children's activities & are a little resistant to them growing up. The boys get into Frederic's car & drive away. Adriana does not go with them.
Lea, Lisa & RJ are on the way to TX. Lisa expects to meet socialites & fabulous people on this trip, based upon her impression of Lea. I live in northwest Louisiana, so I'm familiar with Texas. There is plenty of money & there are plenty of socialites in Dallas! Lea says that Lisa is going to be surprised by Lea's home & family. RJ is wearing a cowboy hat – he's already in the TX spirit! The trip is starting out to be a long trip – they have mechanical issues in Miami & then luggage trouble in Dallas. They finally arrive at the hotel. As they enter the hotel, RJ tells a man to stop smoking & the man asks RJ if he wants a dip. Just shows the difference between Miami & Dallas.
Lea's whole family has gathered in the hotel bar. Lea says hello to everyone & introduces Lisa. Lea says that her family is more laid back than Miami folks. They are two different worlds, so she tries to keep them separate. Lea's parents divorced when she was young & she has two half-sisters. Lisa has never heard that Lea has a sister, much less two! Lea has only a phone relationship with her mother because she only visits TX twice per year. Lisa notes the contrast between Lea & her mother. While Lea is always put together & wears fancy jewelry, her mother is not over-the-top. Lisa says that Lea's family is "normal," which surprises her.
In the morning, RJ is wide-awake & ready for the day. He's afraid that Lisa will be running late. Surprise! Lisa is awake & joins them for breakfast. She tells Lea how nice her family seems. Lea says that her family is closer to each other & that she is the outsider. Lea isn't happy with a nice house, picket fence & dog, as her family is. She feels different than the rest of her family. Lisa observes that Lea has trouble relating to her family. They all pile into the car & head out to see Lea's family. Lisa finds it amusing that a road is called "Cotton Gin Rd." She says "only in Texas!" It was kind of fun for me to see them traveling through Dallas, as I visit there several times each year. It's where people from north Louisiana go for a little culture & good shopping.
They arrive at Lea's cousins house, which is pretty nice by most people's standards. It's located in the suburbs. The family is dressed nice, but casual, & is having cocktails. RJ gets a lesson in the proper way to wear a cowboy hat. Lea's sister asks if Lea minds them saying a blessing before eating. RJ looks confused so I'm assuming that they don't often say grace at home. Lisa says that her family says a blessing before meals. The gathering seems like something my friends would put together – good food, buckets of beer & everyone just mingling. The ribs look amazing!!!
Lisa gets some scoop on Lea's childhood. Lea was a cheerleader & dated football players. She was bossy, go figure! Lea doesn't find her background very interesting, but Lisa wants to know about her. Lea's cousin points that it's ok to be from Waco. I wonder if her family is every discouraged by Lea's disinterest & condescension. Lisa sits down to talk with Lea's mother & sister, who describe Lea as very caring. Lisa learns that Lea has been helping to support her family when they need help. Lisa learns that Lea had another sister, Kim, who passed away in a car accident three years ago. It's obvious that her death greatly affected Lea & the rest of her family. While the family wanted to talk about Kim, Lea seemed to close off. In her TH, Lea says that it's just something she gets through but will never get over.
Back in Miami, Romain has a surprise for Joanna – dinner on the dock. Joanna seems really appreciative of Romain's efforts. They discuss their relationship. Romain points out that their relationship is something that will need constant work. He has decided to forgo the pre-nup & tears it up. Romain has rented a yacht for the evening & the two set sail. The final surprise is a puppy! I would be a little suspicious with so many surprises in one day, but Joanna seems pleased. It's good that the two are working on their relationship & that she didn't focus on sex this time!
Alexia is setting up for a dinner party at her house to celebrate she & Herman's 10-year anniversary. She says that she wanted to have a small gathering to celebrate all they have overcome recently as a family. It's nice to see the whole family gather together, including Herman's sons. They show some footage of the wedding, which included all of the children. Alexia tells Herman that she truly appreciates all that Herman has done for her children. As usual, Frankie is the one to lighten the mood a little. It's obvious that others want Alexia to move on a little, but she keeps talking about all of their struggles. It got a little depressed.
Back in Dallas, Lea & Lisa are at a club to see Lea's nephew rap. He used to be a country singer, but now he's a rapper. It was great to see the whole family there to support him. The next day, Lea & Lisa arrive at a "dance hall & saloon" to meet some of Lea's friends. They mock the place as they enter, but I think it looks fun. Lea points out that she had a "very successful" company when she met Roy & that she did not marry him for money. The women they meet worked for Lea selling skin care products. Lea is eager to point out how hard they worked & that they wanted to depend only on themselves. In infomercials, Lea sounds exactly the same! Lisa is inspired by Lea's personal success. I have to wonder if Lea is actually friends with these women. The whole thing seemed to be about Lea bragging.
In Miami, Marysol arrives at Alexia's house after the dinner. She brings red velvet cake for Frankie. Marysol opens up to Alexia about how much she has been struggling with her mother's condition. Elsa has deteriorated & Marysol feels as though she is losing her. She says that Alexia is the only person who can help her through this. Alexia encourages Marysol to keep going & never give up. She understands that there will be bad days to get through. Alexia suggests having Frankie speak to Elsa.
Back at the saloon, Lea is invited to dance. She's actually not bad at the two-step! Lisa struggles a little, but has found a man to help her learn. Then, Lisa rides the mechanical bull. It's barely moving when she starts screaming, but she does not fall off. It's Lea's turn next. She doesn't fall off either. Lea says that she could live in this world, but that it wouldn't be enough for her. RJ is spending the evening with his grandmother. They order room service & raid the mini bar for soft drinks.
It's time for Lea to head back to Miami. She says that she enjoys the slower pace for a few days at a time. Lisa sees some of herself in Lea, they both wanted more than a small town life. Lea's mother wants them to stay, but Lea can't wait to get home. I'm a little tired of her putting down where she comes from. She seems to really look down on those who choose to live a more simple life. It's one thing to want more from life & to succeed, but is it really necessary to degrade your beginnings in the process?
Happy Birthday TexasTart

Bloomberg.com By Camila Russo
Argentine natural gas distributor shares are having their best week since October after the government allowed the first rate increases in 15 years.
Transportadora de Gas del Norte SA shares have jumped 18 percent this week, the most since October, and were up 4.1 percent today to a six-year high of 2.02 pesos at 4:08 p.m. in Buenos Aires. Metrogas SA shares have rallied 13 percent this week to 1.98 pesos, the highest since 2004.
Argentina froze utility rates in 2002 to help fuel economic recovery after a financial crisis drove the country to default on $95 billion. While natural gas prices have been largely capped since, inflation at around 25 percent made costs surge, eroding companies' income. This week's increase is a step toward improving their finances, according to Mariano Tavelli, president of brokerage Tavelli & Cia.
"We'll have to wait and see the real effect on balance sheets but any tariff increase is good," he said in a telephone interview from Buenos Aires. "If this means the situation is beginning to normalize for these companies, prices are still very cheap."
The government allowed natural gas distributors to increase rates charged to residential and commercial users by 200 percent to 650 percent, depending on the company, area and type of user, according to a resolution published in the official gazette April 7.
Part of the rates will be used to pay for the difference in natural gas prices, which also increased.
The higher rate won't be applied to users who reduce consumption by 20 percent.
"While it probably won't make a huge difference in the bottom line, it's a very good sign," said Andres Chambouleyron, a senior consultant at Chicago-based consultancy Compass Lexecon LLC. "The government recognized these companies are in trouble and did something about it."

Houghton Regis North Planning Applications
As you will be aware a Planning Inspector examined the Council's Development Strategy and concluded the Council failed in its duty to cooperate with a neighbour. On the 16th June 2015 at a hearing a judge 'threw out' the Council's request for a Judicial Review of this decision on the grounds the Government had 'no case to answer'. Currently the Council does not have an approved Development Strategy.
The Council's Development Strategy contains all of the 5 sites listed;
- Thorn Turn development of 4.5 hectares of B2-B8 uses with ancillary offices (CB/15/01928/REG3)
- Windy Willows Nursery site Sundon Road (CB/15/03057/OUT)
- Land adjacent to the Old Red Lion Bedford Road (CB/14/03047/OUT)
- Land at Bedford Road (CB/14/03056/FULL)
- Land West of Bidwell HRN2 (CB/15/00297/OUT)
The National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 83, says 'local planning authorities with Green Belts in their area should establish Green Belt boundaries in their Local Plan (Development Strategy) which set the framework for Green Belt and settlement policy'. The soundness of the Council's policy for changing the boundaries of its Green Belt is accepted when the Council's Development Strategy is approved by a Planning Inspector or the Secretary of State.
The National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 87, says 'As with previous Green Belt policy, inappropriate development is, by definition harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances'. There are many examples of planning applications for housing developments within the Green Belt being refused because they are inappropriate and harm the Green Belt.
The planning application to develop land west of Bidwell (HRN2) is supported by a 'Statement of Very Special Circumstances'. The Council does not have a policy that explains what very special circumstances justify changing Green Belt boundaries to accommodate a development site. The Council's 'Policy 36: Development within the Green Belt' stipulates a presumption against inappropriate development. It states new buildings are regarded as inappropriate except in very special circumstances. The Policy does not explain what very special circumstances justify building within the Green Belt. The policy is clearly only concerned with permitting small scale development in very special circumstances.
The proposed HRN2 site is within the Green Belt and the plan is to provide new buildings on this site. Planning permission for the site should be refused on the grounds the development is inappropriate and contrary to the Council's 'Policy 36: Development within the Green Belt'. All development sites are within The Green Belt. Sites 1, 3, 4, and 5 are contiguous. HN2 by itself comprises 1850 houses therefore planning permission for each site should be refused for the same reason as HN2 and because the scale of their cumulative impact is inappropriate.
The approval of individual planning applications for Houghton Regis North sites is unwelcome as they represent the incremental implementation of this Strategic Allocation. This allocation together with the Luton North Strategic Allocation means the cumulative economic, environmental, and social impacts of all sites within them and across the remainder of South Central Bedfordshire and Luton are not being properly considered.
The Council's failure to produce a sound strategy and then pursue a costly application for a Judicial Review despite clear Government advice calls into question the Council's plan making competence and therefore the presumption its Development Strategy is sound and sustainable.

On 7 June 2018, Asian Australian Lawyers Association (AALA) and Herbert Smith Freehills (HSF) jointly held the third of its CEO series, featuring CEOs of Australian companies to explore their views on the importance of cultural diversity in the workplace.
On the panel of speakers were:
The ENGIE speakers shared their experiences and obstacles faced in the younger years of their careers.
We heard that ENGIE as a company seeks for their staff to represent the community that they serve.
It was interesting to note that in relation to hiring a culturally diverse team, ENGIE was interested in having a culturally diverse team but moreover, ENGIE was focused on having a diversity of mindset within its company and saw benefits to this.
AALA thanks the ENGIE panel of speakers and Kerry Truong for their work in preparing the excellent discussion on the night.
AALA would also like to extend its thanks to HFS for its collaboration and hosting the event at its offices.

School has been extremely demanding this week. What with confusion on the nature of tests. Naturally, It was our midterm online tests were due this week but the, multiple-choice test which was to form an integral part of the result was inaccessible. Naturally, I had done ample revision and felt ready for the multiple- choice test. It was a relief though to those of us who prefer to present detailed work when the lecturer decided that he would use only an essay sent to him via email for grading. Well, I certainly did thorough research and am hoping the grade won't disappoint. So much for that!

This week called for teamwork as we were supposed to make our final group presentation. The research had been draining but my three colleagues in the group were as determined as myself that we should make the most out of our research. We therefore conducted very thorough research that included physical surveys on the community around us, the internet and in books and other print sources on the subject. We then analyzed our findings and harmonized the results from each of our individual findings to come up with comprehensive conclusions. Afterwards, we rehearsed what were to present word for word. The problem only arose during the presentation itself. Despite my grasp of the subject since the topic (Working mother) is something that I identify with and my extensive research, I still found myself unable to explain myself explicitly. It seems I will have to work on my communication skills. The hiccups notwithstanding, I feel that we performed much better than the other three groups who had carried out only scanty research. My colleagues in the group did not face any communication problems and they saved the day.

Your Personal Cyber Safety, How To Improve It
It's quite common today for people to use the same password. Not a smart move especially dealing with financial information and personal data.
Always use different passwords. in this modern day of cyber criminals, it's a must do action. Be Aware – look at the big picture when it comes to cyber security.
That way, when one site gets hacked, you don't have to change your other passwords to prevent hackers from compromising your information. … The reason for this security breach is that we take the path of least resistance..
Security By design
On a more serious note. Is cybersecurity a concern? Of course, it is. Many governments have made it a national priority in both the public and private sectors. It affects us all and we must do what it takes to avoid being victims. Many organizations don't pay enough attention until they have suffered a loss or serious breach. Remember to always:
Improve Your Personal Cyber Safety
Human Errors
Minimizing human error is probably one of the most important areas that companies need to deal with on a regular basis. Administrator and user errors open the door to serious security breaches. Monitoring of staff training and compliance is a must for safe cyber journeys in these times of ongoing criminal activities.

One of the curious features shown in Pisani-Dossi are the pauldrons in the armoured sword section. For dating purposes these are interesting and certainly hard to find close comparisons from before about 1425. However, I found this French manuscript, dated to the first quarter of the 15thC:

Welcome in the forum!
UART_PutString() handles C-Language strings which always have to be NULL-terminated. If your string lacks the terminator, the function will start to send chars out until it finds a \0 by accident.
PutString() and PutChar() are "blocking" functions which means that they check for themselves for a free buffer and wait until all their characters are stored (but not yet transmitted. So there is no need for you to wait for an empty FIFO.

Thank you. Null termination is exactly what I was missing.
