Recent reviews
Good 7.6 From 160 reviews
Nice resort. Good food and beverages.
The stay was very good. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. Food at the buffets was generally good with many varieties, but temperatures of hot food was mostly warm and cooled quickly. Room service is very basic. Only use it when it's raining or inconvenient to go out. Buffets or restaurants are much better. I would re-visit to this resort.
I would highly recommend this resort. We have been quite a few places all over the world but I am hard pressed to think of one that was as pleasurable as this. Accommodations excellent , food excellent , amenities excellent. The employees of the resort were the most courteous and accommodating of any place we have been. We are plannining a ten day stay next year.

KG: You are a bit of a champion fighting the spammers on social media; how and when did you pick up the spam gauntlet so to speak?
VV: I actually saw another follower putting messages up, making the funnies and putting them up for all to see. I spoke to her about it. I could see this was a fantastic way of bringing the scammers to heel.
I also know of people who have been in contact with a scam and I felt strongly little was being done to stop them. At the very least people should be aware of who and what a scammer looks like, and how they can be stopped. So, I started to put up the direct messages and changed my pinned header tweet. So, everyone that followed me could see the rules. You see the scammers never read the pinned tweet, I know this because they slide straight into direct messages and then the fun begins.
KG: Some people, I'll not mention any names to protect the so-called innocent, think why you don't just block them and ignore them. Why do you feel so passionately about ridiculing and pursuing them?
VV: I think those types of people have a point! Not a good point. They just want to enjoy social media without any hassle or stress.
I say the same to all of them. If it was your relative, your Mum or Daughter and they were scammed on social media would you have had the same reaction?
Would you have been able to say, oh that's a scam? No! Because you see blocking doesn't get rid of them. They become somebody else's problem, but they are still there!
I think differently. What I do raises awareness. People see the conversations because they attract attention and have a humorous side. There fore more questions as to why I'm doing it, then more people are aware and can report and block and people can then recognise a scam before it hits them.
KG: Social media for an attractive young lady, I hope you don't mind me saying that, must be very tough and at times very hard, do you get a lot of unsolicited; how do I put this in a nice way, phallic images say? And how do you handle them?
VV: Ooh no touching! As a strong individual I treat these people in the same way that I treat the scammers. If I receive a picture of an unwanted explicit nature in my inbox, I screenshot it, and that person's account details with the corresponding image and I destroy them in a direct message before putting it up on my public page. Then report and block. If you treat these individuals with disdain, they soon disappear.
Yes, unfortunately it does happen quite a lot and I feel that the support systems in place need updating or at the least tweaking. They should really be listening more to regular people who tend to get these messages.
I am going to set up a petition shortly, that I will take to Twitter asking for a system that filters these unsolicited types of accounts before they start to hit the inbox.
KG: I am a strong believer in the woman's movement, I hate it when they just lie there. Seriously, I think women in general have had a rough deal particularly in my industry of horror films, are you a feminist? And if so what are your beliefs on modern feminism?
VV: I am not a feminist! Not at all! I'm a Me-ist!
I am a strong honest person. I believe in myself. If anything, I go by what I feel is right for me.
I believe that nobody should be treated with disrespect. I believe that men are the stronger sex. I like to feel protected, loved and nurtured even. But that doesn't make me weak. Each person brings different shall we say attributes to a relationship and one isn't better than the other. It's a partnership based on respect and love and of course hanky-panky.
KG: My wife Marge was a big woman, God she was a big, big woman. More than a handful if you know what I mean? When she burnt her bra, along with Jermaine Greer, way back in the 60's we had a call out the fire brigade. In fact, it took two fire appliances just put the fire out. Silly woman didn't realise you're supposed to take your bra off in the first place!
Have you burnt your bra?
VV: No. Although I have singed my hair and burnt down a noticeboard, when a friend and I from my school days accidentally made a flame thrower from a Bunsen burner. We were never allowed to partake in school science experiments ever again.
KG: I'd like to make a serious note, A# no wait you have Aspergers, for those that aren't in the know what exactly is that and how does that affect your day-to-day life?
VV: I have Aspergers. It is high functioning Autism. Being Aspie makes life a challenge. I'm unique and wired up differently to the average Joe. People with Autism see things differently and have to learn to adapt to their surroundings. There are three areas where this shows predominantly.
They are:
a.Social interaction
c.Sensory and processing information
I just deal with things differently. An example of this is I'm highly organised and I can not function at all in a mess. I just shut down, it's difficult to adapt to the way other people are. When I'm interested in something a new hobby or a topic, I go at it diligently till I exhaust myself with my new-found knowledge. Also, I don't understand people that lie. Why do that? I have had to learn though that there are good lies, called white lies and I can use these to save another person's feelings. I have a blog that describes what it is like to live with Autism on a daily basis. The link to this is below and on my Twitter page.
KG: Like me, family is very important to you, you have a lovely young son. Do you worry, like I do, that kids today are under great pressure and will be bombarded by spam and things on social media? How would you advise a parent, or indeed a young person, to go about their life on social media?
VV: As a parent I am responsible for my child. I am responsible for what he sees and with regards to social media he is still too young to access these apps. But he does like to watch YouTube. I tend to limit when and amount of time he has on the computer and I make use of the parental locks. I see it as my job to educate my son on the downfalls of social media. But as he is still quite young I very much hold the reins so to speak when it comes to what he sees online.
KG: I feel this book 'You've Been Spammed' is doing a great service, and making people aware, but it is also very funny and entertaining. Have you found getting the right mix to be difficult in the writing of your book?
VV: Yes indeed!
I think this book has a very serious message to give. But in a frank and funny way. I have found myself drawn to people, since writing this book. I have an empathy for what some have been through at the hands of thoughtless scammers. I hate to see people taken for fools, so trying to get that balance right and not get drawn into the shock side of it has been a challenge.
KG: Looking into my crystal balls what do you see coming out in the future?
VV: I really don't know. I came into this to raise awareness about scams on social media. It's been an absolute joy to be given such a great opportunity to be able to write about my passion, of getting rid of scammers. I think the joy for me is now. I don't know what the future brings, and I like to live in the here and now.
KG: Who are your favourite writers and how have they inspired your writing?
VV: With this particular book I have to say a writer hasn't inspired me. What has inspired me, is reading stories of people real people with real lives. Friends on social media! The highs and lows of other people's lives. My friends! I have made some very close friends on Twitter in particular. Some lovely funny individuals who I love to chat with. And who have encouraged me to write. They have been my inspiration.
KG: What advice would you give to people who are being troubled by spam and fake accounts and bullying?
VV: Never ignore it! They don't go away on their own.
I don't mean argue or even respond if you feel out of your depth. I mean report them to the support system that is in place to protect you. Then of course block them!
KG: Final question what is your favourite lunchmeat? I myself am quite partial to a bit of spam but I must admit I prefer a lovely corned beef sandwich with lots of ketchup on it dripping out of the bread but that's just me!
VV: Firstly, can I say that is vile! My ultimate favourite sandwich meat would have to be bacon, lightly grilled a fine spread of lurpak and of course a nice layer of branstons pickle. Then mash it together and wash it all down with a big mug of Yorkshire tea, brewed to within an inch of its life. Yummy!
Have you ever been "SPAMMED?" Be it on the phone, on social media, or in a letter?
This book by Vicky Vixen tells you in a frank, funny, but educational how to spot the spammers and the best way to deal with them.
Vicky Vixen tells it how it is, so if you are easily offended do not buy this book.
If you like straight talking, blunt, funny as fuck advice you MUST buy this book & copies for all your friends!

Financial Management Skills Every Freelancer Needs To Know
A lot of freedom comes with being a freelancer given that you get a chance to become your own boss. Nonetheless, there is a price to pay given that you'll never enjoy employee advantages. What is more, the unpredictable nature of income is another issues that can make the person sink heavy into debts. In this write-up, we will delve deep into how to manage finances as a freelancer.
The need to track finances cannot be overemphasized. You need to keep an eye on how much you make over a given period of time. Regrettably, many freelancers do not have the slightest idea of the money they make on a monthly basis. Having a record of your finances by your side helps you avoid running broke given that you will be amply prepared for high and low season. As a way to stay more organized, you can choose to use a 457 calculator.
Drafting a budget is what every freelancer needs to take seriously. This is what most freelancers might view as daunting but the truth is that it is indeed possible. Once you've got your payment, it's a good idea to purchase necessities followed by clearing any bad debts so as to prevent buildup of interest. It is on the same note that it is essential to save for retirement to ward off trouble during old age. Saving for emergencies is also advisable and this should be replenished anytime you withdraw.
This probably goes without saying but giving the taxman his dues is of great importance. Taxes can be a tricky matter and it doesn't get any better as a freelancer. While an employee has his/her taxes paid by the employer, a freelancer is supposed to make payments by themselves. It's thus important to calculate your earnings annually and in case you've no idea how much it is, you can always refer to returns you made last year. The taxman has clear set guideline for freelancers and you will be doing yourself some good if you learned more about them.
Research shows that a good number of freelancers are not insured. This is perilous in light of the fact that if a medical emergency was to pop up, the individual would be in for a hard time. Feel free to choose between insurance offered by government and that offered by private companies. According to professionals, a medical savings account will ensure that one is at all times capable of paying for health insurance.
Make sure that what you are being paid is commensurate to the services you have to offer. Start by finding out the rates your fellow freelancers are charging. If your rates are low, it is perfect time to revise your pay upwards.

"- Lisa, 40 years old"What a huge relief it was to be referred to Linda by a friend. I've had treatments from other clinics and can honestly say the service from Linda is the BEST. Her professional, personal and caring manner shines. She listens to what I want and genuinely does her best for me. Linda thrives on making positive changes for her clients, I love going to her and because she works from home her prices are ABSOLUTE value for FIRST class treatments.""
"- Kirsty, 35 years old"I'm a Horticulturist from Henderson so I spend a great deal of time outdoors. Over the years I've spent thousands of dollars on products for my sun damaged skin and hair removal treatments and never achieved the results they promised. I became more and more self conscious of my appearance to the point of it turning me into a recluse. Then I meet Linda. Linda made me feel so comfortable and has literally changed my life. I no longer spend hours a day in the mirror looking at my imperfections because they are pretty much gone. I would never go to anyone else again.""
"- Andrea, 32 years old"From my first consultation with Linda I have been very impressed with the service she provides at Refresh Skin Clinic. Linda is passionate about achieving the best results for her clients; she has great understanding about different treatment options and great skin care knowledge. I recently got married and Linda was wonderful. In the lead-up to the big day she arranged a treatment programme that was affordable and within my budget. I was so happy with my IPL treatments and my skin has never looked better. I highly recommend Linda to anyone.""
"- L.K"I have been a client of Linda Gormly for the last four years and have appreciated her honesty and advice when planning my treatments. Linda has a great eye for detail and not only does she listen carefully to her clients, she then gives opinions which most of us need to help with the decisions taken to accomplish the results we want. I am very happy with the results we have achieved.""

Volkert provided emergency bridge inspections after the I-10 Escambia Bay Bridge was severely damaged by Hurricane Ivan. The Category 3 storm knocked fifty eight spans from the eastbound and westbound bridges and misaligned another sixty six spans, closing the bridge to traffic. The bridge, which connects Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, is an essential east-west corridor for the region and I-10 is one of three trans-continental interstate highways.
Following the initial inspections, Volkert was responsible for construction management and CEI services for the repair project.
Eighteen days after work began, and weeks ahead of schedule, I-10 was reopened with one lane in each direction on the westbound bridge. The eastbound bridge was opened on November 20, twenty seven days ahead of the planned schedule. Volkert operated an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) to alert officials and motorists of the conditions on the bridge and the detour routes.
Volkert continued to provide bridge maintenance services to the design/build team replacing the bridge, including constant inspection of the Acrow Bridge spans, the repaired bridge components, and the maintenance-of-traffic needed for the detours and bridge maintenance. Volkert's bridge inspectors provided bridge inspections every other month with FDOT personnel providing them in alternate months.

A business forum aimed at engendering trust between public and private sector actors as important stakeholders with significant interest in trade facilitation has been held in Accra.
The forum, which was targetted at unearthing measures that could help improve trade facilitation in the country, focused on roles the private sector can play in supporting government to become compliant with objectives of the Trade Facilitation measures.
Jointly organised by the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation (GATF) and International Chamber of Commerce Ghana in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the forum was under the theme 'The Role of Ghana's Private Sector in Implementation of the World Trade Organisation's (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA)'.
On 22 February 2017, the first multilateral TFA was entered after the WTO obtained the needed two-thirds acceptance for the agreement from its 164 members. The main goal of the TFA is to expedite the movement, release and clearance of goods across borders.
Ghana ratified the WTO TFA in January 2017 and was the 104th country to do so. Full implementation of the TFA is forecast to slash members' trade costs by an average of 14.3%, with developing countries having the most to gain.
The TFA is also likely to reduce the time needed to import goods by over a day and a half and to export goods by almost two days, representing a reduction of 47% and 91% respectively over the current average.
According to the 2018 World Bank Doing Business Index, in Ghana an importer spends an average of 6.8 days and pays about US$1,027 in order to satisfy border and documentary compliance at Ghana's ports.
Mr. Anthony Nyame-Baafi, Director of Multilateral, Regional and Bilateral Trade at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, reading a speech on behalf of the Minister for Trade and Industry Mr. Alan Kyerematen stated that government has developed a roadmap for implementing the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement to ease the cost of doing business.
Nyame-Baafi said the comprehensive document entails a strategic vision for implementing the trade facilitation reforms, which will cover a period of five years and end in 2022.
It is expected that: "By 2022, through improved efficiency and risk management, the trade reforms to be implemented will decrease the time for clearance of imports, exports and transit goods to 48 hours," he explained.
Mr. Nyame-Baafi indicated that cross-border trade will be increased by 40 percent, adding that the country will also witness a 40 percent reduction in clearance cost for imports, exports and transit goods.
"The number of documents required for imports and exports will also be reduced by 2022. As much as possible, only five or less documents will be needed to clear exports and five to clear imports – and these will be paperless. Ghana is expected to implement at least 60 percent of the trade facilitation measures for the period."
He indicated that government is committed to pursuing pragmatic measure to remove bottlenecks along the entire domestic and global value chain, adding that the measures will involve addressing port access and capacity issues, transport links, finance, trade facilitation and market access issues.
He said for the past decade the country has been undertaking a number of reforms aimed at facilitating trade to improve its import, export, and transit trade regime.
"The reforms have seen a reduction in the processes and an increase in use of information and communications technology at the ports, as well as unifying and reforming the tax administration function of Customs," he said.
Mr. Helge Sander, the Deputy Head of Mission for the Federal Republic of Germany, said partnership toward the implementation of such an agreement helps to build mutual trust, making implementation less difficult.
He said the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation is focused on contributing to how the TFA can be of benefit to all stakeholders and increase job-creation, and that is why its successful implementation is relevant.
Mr. Sanders said Germany has established the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation jointly with other donors including Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the United States, due to the their commitment to supporting trade facilitation efforts worldwide.
The President of IMANI Ghana, Mr. Franklyn Cudjoe who Chaired the forum – urging government to recognise the private sector as the engine of growth – said private sector actors should not be ignored on major policies that directly and indirectly affect their operations.
He said although government claims it has removed some bottlenecks at the ports, the country continuously declines in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business rankings.
Secretary-General, International Chamber of Commerce Ghana (ICC Ghana), Emmanuel Doni-Kwame, welcomed the country's entry into the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) – indicating that the trade agreement could provide a boost of over US$1trillion to global trade flows.
"Facilitating trade is about streamlining and simplifying international trade procedures. Exporters and importers in the international trade arena in Ghana have decried the continuous bottlenecks they encounter when engaging in trading activities at the ports and borders of the country," he stated.
Mr. Doni-Kwame said bureaucratic bottlenecks at the ports have resulted in businesses losing huge sums of money. This, he said, adds to the cost of production – rendering businesses uncompetitive.
"Efforts have been made to address these difficulties businesses encounter. Among some of these measures are policies and laws related to trade facilitation. To enhance international participation of countries, especially developing and least developed countries, the WTO members entered into an agreement on trade facilitation," he remarked.

Hey lads, really need help here
Which option?
Ablett and Greenwood to Blakely and Wingard
Ablett and Newman/Newnes to Sidebottom and Blakely
Newman/Newnes and EVW to Blakely and Young (bench) and play Mountford for Ablett with no cover
Help is much appreciated 👍
Hey boys, trade Newman/Newnes to Blakely and Ablett to Wingard or
Trade Newnes/Newman to Blakey and EVW to Young for bench, play Mountford with no cover and keep Ablett as a finals POD?
Mark my words a quiet one for danger…
your words have been marked and found inconclusive
+2, the only time I'll agree with Powerade. Bye
once more than wifey
Try trading out danger…
1 Game down, and already half my trades are shit: brought in Laird for Touhey; Laird didn't even reach an easy BE and was outscored by Touhey.
Sorry J that sucks when that happens …
Laird can either go 70 or a 120+ feel for you getting him in on a week where he stinks i have had him all year so guess i am use to it hehehe
thank f**k i have zac guthrie in my backline what savior he has become!
26 f**k yeah!
thank you luke ryan for drinking piss after playing a handful of games
Last comment 6 hrs ago..has everyone lost interest?
It's what happens this time of year when people are knocked out of early starting finals. Finals should be uniform so everyone stays interested until the end.
The moment I get rid of Ainsworth it looks like he is finally going to post a decent score. Oh well, hopefully bringing in Sidey will make it worthwhile.
Newman has to go.
So not one of Jack (though If I didn't bring him in I would of got Parsons score), Hanners, Lloyd, Franklin, JPK, Newnes or Issac Smith could ton up for me tonight. Thank goodness my only ton tonight was my captain though. Tom MItchell, gun
1331 with Docherty, Adams, Witherden, Zorko, Murphy, Gaff, Rocky, Stef, Yeo, Sheed left. What score am I looking at getting?
Could be anything from about 2200 to 2400+ 10 to play leaves a lot of room for variation in score, my guess is for 2328, good luck.
Low score in my fwd line (Menegola 79) currently better than high score in back line (Newnes 78). WTF?
Anyone else have a Koby Stevens shaped problem in their forward line?? Brough him in last week on the back of those 3 tons for a 55 and now 56 this week… Absolutely putrid numbers, but not sure whether it's worth a trade as there's not really anyone to go to that's that more guaranteed of a ton.
Has a shit fixture this week as well, port in Adelaide, so have to accept that there's probably another crap score on the way and gamble on good results in those last 4 games at the Etihad & MCG… Hmm, worth a trade to Buddy?
Think he's just back to his usual form. Been there, won't go near him again.
Good week to get rid of Nank!
Do you guys remember when Rocky wasn't an absolute shit c**t?
Toby Mcclean and Jack Crisp anyone?
Fuck you Rocky. NEVER again. I don't care if he hits 200 for 5 years in a row. What a useless turd
Rockey is now a tagger… believe it or not.
He's gone to the dark side.
Anyone else here enjoying not having rocky?
Who replaces Rocky next week in SC? Kelly, Zorko, or Duncan?
(That's if I can afford to replace him, seeing he'll be worth nothing.)

The following text explores the concept of repentance from both secular and Biblical perspectives. Society has become so preoccupied with personal rights, that the thought of repentance is now archaic. , but man's fickle nature does not alter your responsibility before the Lord.
Webster offers two secular definitions for repentance: 1. Sorrow for anything done or said; the pain or grief which a person experiences in consequence of the injury or inconvenience produced by his own conduct, or 2. in theology, the pain, regret or affliction which a person feels on account of his past conduct, because it exposes him to punishment. Biblical repentance includes regret about an act of commission or omission before the Lord, but adds censure from repetition of the same.
Relevance Of Repentance
Repentance is antiquated now, primarily because sin and the consequences thereof both here and eternally have lost their place in the contemporary church. Notions of easy-believism and decisional-regeneration now supersede the Biblical decree that the fall and subsequent curse (Genesis 3) separated everyone ever born from the Lord and eternal life, which can only be regained by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-10) through repentance. One of the popular religious ideas is that everybody enters life on a neutral spiritual plane, and one's action/reaction set in the course of life earns you merits and/or demerits, which some divine authority tallies at death to determine that soul's eternal disposition. These lists vary depending on which religion you align with, but irregardless, there is no Biblical support for this methodology because…
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:23 (KJV)
And the Apostle James clarifies…For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
James 2:10 (KJV)
In theory, there are two ways to attain eternal life: either by never committing any sin, or by realizing your separated state from the Lord and submitting yourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ! In practice, the Apostle Paul disqualified option one when he wrote, 'there is none righteous, no not one (Romans 3:10). The Lord Jesus Christ clarified mankind's disposition in life when He said…
(13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: (14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV)
Therefore, the consequence is…
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (KJV)
While some religious disciplines suggest a third possible cleansing portal, Scripture only identifies two dispositions following death: Heaven, or Hell! The above verses tell you that every one of us, even if we committed only one sin is guilty of the entire Law, for which the tariff is eternal separation from God (Second Death – Revelation 2:11 20:6, 20:14 and 21:8), and no humanly-devised contrition can make up for this short-fall. For those desiring Heaven, the Lord Jesus qualified that there is but one way to get there…
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 (KJV)
Sin is the prohibiting factor to Heaven, a reality we must all deal with and in fact, are trapped in. Concerning this, in the Apostle Paul's correspondence, he spoke often about redemption and the context was from the slave market of sin.
Spiritual Condition Of Everyone At Physical Birth
Tragically, redemption is also archaic to contemporary Christians, because many equate redemption with a simple financial transaction, but relative to eternal life, it carries a far deeper meaning. The etymology of the Greek language created mental images to help the audience understand the depth of presented principles. The root word in redemption painted the picture of a slave being set free from the slave market. Slavery was a widespread social practice in the land and time of the Bible, particularly in the Roman Empire. This formed the backdrop of the Apostle Paul's correspondence. People became slaves for a variety of reasons, and it should go without saying that these people had no freedoms whatsoever. Once classified as a slave, you were the master's property to be sold or traded at his discretion. Children born to slaves were the master's property, and slaves spent all his or her energy for the master's benefit.
First-century slave trade was a lucrative business. Insight to this sociological practice may help you better understand the Apostle Paul's references to slavery. Slaves for trading were transported chained together in the holds of ships, but weren't released to relieve themselves, so the slaves had no choice but to defecate and urinate where they stood; in many cases, on one another. You can imagine the foul stench from these ships by the time they reached the destination. The market was surrounded by ten–to–fifteen–foot fences made from tree trunks, driven in the ground adjacent to one another. These walls extended out from shore several hundred feet to thwart escape attempts. Slave ships eased into shallow water between the walls, where the chained slaves waded to shore. The slave holding place resembled a concentration camp, with a limited number of doors that opened onto a slave–block. These doors were secured to prevent escape from these filthy, stinking areas. On trade days, slaves were stripped naked and paraded under guard through the secured doors onto the slave–block for viewing and inspection. Here the auctioneer called for, and received bids.
This was the slave market, with only one way out! Wealthy masters desiring to buy slaves would survey the merchandise from afar. They didn't get too close because of the stench, but sent ambassadors to examine candidates with a rag over their nose, wait for the master's signal, and submit bids. On payment, slave custody transferred from the slave–block guards to the ambassador, and his first responsibility was to mark the slave with the new master's seal for identification. This consummated the transaction. They were then freed from the slave–block to serve his or her new master. The slaves could do anything they wanted to behind the secured doors of the slave–block, but they could not declare themselves independent, pass through the door and jump to freedom. When the slave's owner changed, the slave was now free to serve the new Master, but not free from an authority.
And so you have the sociological backdrop painting a vivid portrait of the unregenerate's spiritual condition, and what happens in the salvation process. Here we should pause to explain the term unregenerate. In the Lord's economy, you are either alive or dead spiritually, saved or lost spiritually, unregenerate or regenerated to new life in the Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul certified this in his letter to Titus…
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:5 (KJV)
Repentance is no more a meritorious work than its counterpart, faith, but is an inward response. Genuine repentance pleads with the Lord to forgive and deliver from the burden of sin and the fear of judgment and hell. The Lord Jesus contrasted two men in the Temple to exemplify true repentance…
(10) Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. (11) The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. (12) I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. (13) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:10-13 (KJV)
The Pharisee completely missed the point, while the publican clearly understood his sin could only be absolved through the Lord's mercy. Regeneration is not an earned status, but a divine gift of God, according to the Apostle Paul…
(8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast. (10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJV)
Repentance is not merely a change of behavior because it involves a change of heart and purpose and results in a change of behavior. Like faith, repentance affects the intellect, emotion and volition. Because of the politically-correct press to tolerate all manner of conduct, sin has swept through the church like a tsunami. Western culture struggles to relate to the squalor of the slaves' condition, but then so do we struggle to comprehend the depravity of sin. Sin is just as repugnant in the nostrils of Holy God as the stench in the hold of slave ships. The contemporary attitude toward sin is, "Hey, this stuff smells pretty good", and yonder you go! Terms such as "coming out of the closet", politically–correct and/or pro–choice, do very little to camouflage evil portent. The unregenerate are free to marry, divorce, make money, steal, cheat, politic, go to church, do charitable deeds and/or anything else they choose. They can play games, do tricks and fantasize about freedom, but remain bound and for the most part, are blind to their bondage and don't even realize it. They are free to walk, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2). Redeemed slaves didn't return to the slave market to reminisce, nor did they swim back out to the ship to savor the odor of the hold, yet this graphic portrait reflects the actions in the modern church community. The Apostle Paul wrote…
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
The redeemed are not freed from the slave–block of sin to continue in carnality, living any way you choose, nor is God a Divine Genie at your disposal, but you are to actively seek to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, Who redeemed you by His blood. Are you doing that? The Apostle Paul mentions being sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise twice in his letter to the Ephesians. Referring to the Lord Jesus, he wrote.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:13–14 (KJV)
The serious disciple would ask, "What is this seal and why is it important?" The theme for the book of Ephesians is God's eternal purpose in redemption. Please note that the focus is on the Lord Jesus, Who is the Operator. The events in operation are, hearing the gospel, trust or faith in Him, and being sealed with the Holy Spirit. The term translated sealed, carries legal, military and social connotations, representing contractual authority. In Roman law, a man's word was as binding as a mark used to execute written contracts. In a military sense, citizens of an occupied country could redeem their freedom. Wealthy people were known to purchase their freedom for a great price. The poor were constrained to captivity until the captors were overthrown or a benefactor redeemed their freedom for them. This idea originated with the slave market of the ancient world. Very few slaves were ever able to buy their own freedom, but a wealthy, benevolent individual could redeem one from the slave block, again for a price.
The term sealed by the Holy Spirit does not imply that the Holy Spirit is the agent delivering the sealing mark, but rather the Holy Spirit is the seal, which lives in and works through the saved to accomplish the Lord's eternal purpose. When a soul gets saved, the Lord puts His mark on that one and that mark is the Holy Spirit of God. That one is then freed to serve the Lord. This seal has to do with the past, the present and the future work of the Lord in the life of one of the one being saved.
But the seal itself is not the most important aspect of this principle, but rather the effect of the seal. Ephesians 1:14 tells us that the Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance. This is a commercial term. If you put earnest–money down on a contract and do not fulfill the terms thereof, you forfeit the earnest–money you paid. The Apostle Paul is saying that if the Lord does not fulfill your inheritance, He forfeits the Holy Spirit. If that happened, God would cease to be God and that will never be. This certifies your assurance of your personal salvation!
If you are a Christian, you have two citizenships and therein must you function effectively in both temporal and spiritual realms. Nobody ever said it is easy to be a Christian. In fact, apart from the power of the Holy Spirit living the life of the Lord Jesus Christ through you, it is impossible! The Apostle Paul makes an interesting statement in his letter to the Romans…
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
Romans 6:16
The Apostle Paul's Roman audience would have understood the verse above in this context. Every one of us is born in the slave market of sin, because of the nature you inherited from Adam through your Dad. The sin nature passes from generation-to-generation through men, because Eve sinned by virtue of deception, whereas Adam sinned volitionally.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
I Timothy 2:14 (KJV)
This cannot be altered, overturned or negated by good deeds. The only way anyone can get out of the slave market of sin is to be purchased by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! According to the Apostle Paul, you either serve the Lord or Satan (Ephesians 2:1–2). The unregenerate may think he or she serves neither, but he or she is only fooling himself or herself.
As a member of the human race, you must live with others like yourself. The unregenerate are left to personal recognizance, which explains the conflict around you. Self and Satan walk a common course. It's like being in a trough. The unregenerate can bang around in the belly of it all they want, but they can't get out. Those saved by the Blood of the Lamb can act as the world (Galatians 5:19–21), or live according to the direction of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22). The cause of Christ, together with your testimony rest on your decision. Choose wisely today.
The Apostle Paul clarifies the spiritual condition and desire of everyone at physical birth…
(10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: (11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. (12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become (spiritually) unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. (13) Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: (14) Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: (15) Their feet are swift to shed blood: (16) Destruction and misery are in their ways: (17) And the way of peace have they not known: (18) There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans 3:10-18 (KJV)
The Apostle Paul's words certify that if you possess any measure of spiritual sensitivity, an external agent (the Holy Spirit) must have engineered it in you!
Now For A Closer Look At Repentance
The Old Testament contains twenty-two references to repent in various forms, which are translated from two Hebrew words…
Nahum – to lament, or to grieve, a word describing the emotions aroused when you are motivated to take a different course of action.
Shuib is a word expressing a radical change of mind toward sin. It implies a conscious moral separation from a specific action, followed by a decision to forsake it and agree with God.
The New Testament contains forty-six references to repentance in various forms, which are translated from two Greek words…
Metamelomai means to have feeling or care, concern or regret, akin to remorse?
Metanoeo means to have another mind, describing a radical change whereby a sinner turns from the idols of sin and of self to God.
The primary message of Biblical prophets was calling their audience to repentance. In the four-chapter book of Jonah, the Lord commanded Jonah to preach repentance to the Ninevites, who actually repented. Over the next century, sin diluted the Ninevite's righteousness, and the Lord sent Nahum to call them to repent, as had Jonah, but they disregarded Nahum and the Lord destroyed Nineveh! Jeremiah preached repentance to Judah his entire life, having had but one possible convert, and the Lord sent Nebuchadnezzar to sack Jerusalem and take Judah into captivity for seventy years. John the Baptist, Jesus, the Apostle Paul and the other Apostles all preached repentance as the prerequisite to eternal life, and so it is. Consider the Apostle Peter's instruction…
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38 (KJV)
Regeneration precedes repentance! In the lost state, repentance begins when you realize your sinful condition separates you from the Lord, and ultimately from eternal life. There are some who claim they want to go to Hell, but they occupy an extreme minority. In the lost state, most reason that compared to others, they are relatively good and God would certainly excuse your faults, but your conduct is not the deciding factor on your eternal disposition! In short, repentance is a change of mind, or a conversion from sin to God, and the Lord Jesus Christ provided clarity…
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
II Corinthians 7:9 (KJV)
Repentance In Practice Following Regeneration
Regeneration must occur before a soul even realizes they need to repent! In some, the transaction is immediate, while in others, a process of time, but once regenerated to new life in the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit indwells you from that point on. His responsibility is to conform those He regenerates to new life in the Lord Jesus Christ, to His image…
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:29 (KJV)
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6 (KJV)
When a regenerated soul is tempted to sin, the Holy Spirit quickens you not to yield and enables you to resist the temptation. Everyone develops a unique list of familiar sins prior to salvation, and these are the things we are most often tempted to commit. Obedience to the Holy Spirit's quickening advances your spiritual maturity. This is called sanctification. Failure to obey the Holy Spirit's quickening pauses your spiritual maturity, and you can be certain you will experience similar temptation until you learn how to obey.
One who has never been regenerated to new life in the Lord Jesus Christ does not have the Holy Spirit to guide their conduct. Their action/reaction set is governed only by opportunity and fear.
Now I direct your attention to the Apostle Paul's confession…
(18) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. (19) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (20) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (21) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. (22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. (24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7:18-25 (KJV)
I hasten to point out that this passage is not license to sin, freedom to disregard the quickening power of the Holy Spirit, but the reality of the Christian life. You can be certain that if the Apostle Paul struggled with familiar sin, the rest of us will, as well, and this is why the Apostle John wrote….
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I John 1:9 (KJV)
Christians are repenters! This is repetitive repentance. Only the Lord Jesus Christ spent His time on earth in sinless perfection. The rest of us commit either sins of omission or sins of commission on a regular basis. This is why it is critically important for every Christian to develop sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's Voice and learn to obey Him when He speaks to you.

Feeding for competition
The second part of this blog series looks at the importance of the salt and water intake to the horse, especially the competition horse. When our horses sweat, they loose essential body salts, otherwise known as plasma salts. These are Sodium, Calcium, Potassium and Magnesium, which can be fed in a well balanced electrolyte in order to maintain the salt balance in the body. An average horse can lose up to 90g of body salts in just two hours work, emphasizing the need to replace the salts.
If your horse is lacking electrolytes, the horse will feel lethargic, and a continuation of this loss is highly detrimental to the horses health. As the main electrolyte is salt, it important to use a salt based product (not a solution) as it is not possible to suspend enough of the mineral salts needed within a solution.
Equine America produce an electrolyte, that comes as both granules and paste. If a horse is in medium to hard work and sweating on a daily basis, an electrolyte supplement is advised. Apple Lytes is a salt based product which can be added to the feed on a daily basis. For high level competition or endurance events, apple lytes is also available in a handy syringe for instant replenishment of electrolytes.
The importance of water must also be highlighted at this point as around 70% of the horses body weight is water. An average 500kg horse in light work will require about 25 litres of water a day. This need is increased to as much as 300% or around 75 litres if strenuous work is undertaken, this should be provided as a combination of feed and water. If you think your horse is dehydrated, you will see signs of reduce appetite, poor performance and a general lack of 'oomph'.

Active immunity is defined as "the body's natural ability to resist or defend itself against a pathogen, antigen or any other disease causing agent". In contrast to passive immunity in which antibodies are injected to the organism, in active immunity the body itself produces antibodies capable of fighting against the disease causing agents.
Types of Active Immunity
There are two types of active immune response: naturally acquired active immunity and artificially acquired active immunity.
In naturally acquired active immunity, when a body is exposed to a live pathogen, it develops the disease and then its primary immune response starts to fight against the invaders. Whenever a microbe enters the body it is exposed to B-cells which produce antibodies in response and fight against it. This adaptive immune response may take days or even weeks to develop but is long-lasting or even lifelong. Because once the immune system learns to produce antibodies against a specific antigen, it can do so again and again, so the subsequent infections would be much less hazardous.
In artificially acquired active immunity, administration of a vaccine generates immunity. Vaccination or immunization is the intended induction of immune response and it the only most effective manipulation of the immune system developed by scientists. Vaccinations are almost always successful as they utilize the natural specificity of the immune system. The principle behind acquired active immunity is to introduce a dead virus or bacteria of a disease which though cannot produce the disease itself, but lets the body think of it as a disease-causing agent hence helps the immune system develop protective immunity against it. For example, the administration of Hepatitis A vaccine generates the artificially acquired immunity against Hepatitis and protects the body against real Hepatitis A virus in future.

Everybody knows that adopting a dog isn't an easy peasy task. It is expensive, it demands a lot of your time, and it asks you to be more responsible than before. However, this doesn't mean that being a dog owner is a miserable experience. Everybody also knows that being loved back by your pup is one of the best feelings in the world.
Good thing we humans have this big brain of ours to make life easier in almost all situations that life throws at us. We find ways to make difficult situations bearable and make tasks a lot easier. Of course, this can be applied to being a dog owner. Let's take a look at the life hacks we can try as dog owners.
Make dog nooks from old furniture
Instead of throwing out old furniture, why not use them as a nook for your dog? Just clean it up, paint it up to make it look new. Throw in a small bed and some pillows, voilà! Your dog's own little not-so-secret nook. It saves the furniture from being disposed of and eventually going into landfill and it will surely make your pooch happy.
Use baby wipes as paw cleaners
We all know dogs can be the biggest divas in the world, but when it comes to their skin, they have a legitimate reason to be such. Their skin is very sensitive so we must be careful with substances that we use on our little pups. Baby wipes are designed to be very mild and are perfect to wipe-off dirt from our dog's paws.
Pretend to be in trouble when chasing a runaway dog
You know how dogs are – the moment they get loose, they will run as fast as they can. Instead of trying to chase them, pretend to faint or cry for help. We all know dogs have this extra sense when someone is in danger. If they hear or see you, they will probably go to you to make sure you are okay.
Petroleum jelly protects your dog's paws from the snow
Dogs, like children, love playing in the snow. This is fine, but we should always remember to protect their paws from extreme temperatures. Applying some petroleum jelly on their paws protects them from the snow. Playing in these conditions can make your pup's paws sore if they are not protected.
Also protect their paws from heat using the 5-second rule
If you want to take your dog for a walk in the blazing summer heat, try the five-second rule on the asphalt road first. Place your hand on the asphalt for five seconds, if it gets too hot or uncomfortable for you after five seconds, then it is not safe to take them on a walk.

Arizona Tile Pearl White
Do you remember those days when you were a little child where you watched your mother dressing up to go out with your dad and she puts on her favourite piece of jewellery, which were her drop pearl earrings? Well, nobody else remembers those days or the pearl jewelleries either but you can fantasize about having such a 50s like childhood now by acquiring the Arizona Pearl White Polish.
How does laying tiles invoke such fantasies you ask? Because if you or your parents did grow up in the 50s where there weren't that many different styles of porcelain tiles, then you would realize that those poor people in those days only got to go to bathrooms and living rooms which had these uneventful tiles.
Imagine not going into a bathroom, hallways or a coming across a kitchen counter which doesn't literally give you a headache or a tummy ache just by looking at those wild colours and patterns. It would indeed be a very uneventful trip to a bathroom as such with the Pearl White polishes where you can finally be not distracted by splashes of colours and be alone with your own uneventful thoughts.
But don't make the mistake of thinking that white porcelain are not savoury as these are some of the first material and colour used by ancient civilizations to make everyday ware or special commemorative wares.
It is hard, durable, elastic and permeable so that some of the world's most beautiful expression like Ming vases were made in polished white porcelain. Since it has properties like thermal shock resistance and chemical attacks ,in the event of a cataclysmic occurrence, you can be sure that your pearl white polish will survive, for your future surviving descendants.

Visit the Skeleton Coast, Namibia
Jump to:
North of Swakopmund the Skeleton Coast National Park stretches up to the Kunene River.
It is a barren area and particularly aptly named. Strong currents, treacherous fog and shifting underwater sandbanks ensured that many early explorers' ships were wrecked. They can still be seen, now many meters from the shore.
Wildlife of the Skeleton Coast National Park
The landscape of the Skeleton Coast, whilst stark, is stunning. Rock formations such as the Ugab Formations defy belief. There are clay castles at the Hoarusib Canyon, reverberating dunes that roar and gravel plains covered with ancient welwitschia plants. The dry river valleys are home to desert-adapted elephant, giraffe, brown hyena and more.
Fly-in safaris
The majority of the park is not accessible by vehicle. There are two safari companies that operate fly-in safaris to the area. These last three to four days and experienced safari-goers regard these as some of the best trips in Africa.

Planning the Perfect Wedding in Redondo BeachRedondo Beach is a popular destination for beach weddings and outdoor wedding celebra-tions year round. As you get busy planning your grand celebration, you'll want to make sure you're picking the right venue and planning around a theme that works with the event space. Use these tips to plan the perfect wedding in Redondo Beach, California.
Wedding Planning Essentials
- Pick the right theme. If you're planning a beach wedding, you might consider a tropical theme or something with an outdoorsy or farmhouse chic look. If you're planning an indoor wedding, you can bring the beach indoors with seashells and ocean-inspired colors. Research some beach themes to find the perfect match for your Redondo Beach venue.
- Choose the right venue. Redondo Beach is home to several hotels and event venues that are within easy reach of the area's top sites and beaches. However, only some put you within steps of the beach and have event space that overlooks the ocean. Choose an upscale venue that has rooms with large windows and views of the ocean for some beautiful wedding photos.
- Plan offsite events. Redondo Beach has a wealth of restaurants and entertainment venues that cater to groups. Plan a few events for guests off the property so they can truly enjoy all the beaches and upscale dining in the area. Consider hosting a brunch or a pre-wedding social hour at a nearby venue to make the most of the experience.

Building paths for peace – beyond your own life
During the wars in the former Yugoslavia, the idea was born to bring refugee children and war orphans of different ethnicities together for a two-week vacation at the local seaside. This is how, in 1994, a humanitarian aid project of the Committee for Fundamental Rights and Democracy has evolved into the campaign Vacation from War, which over the years has developed into a a project for dialogues and encounters across borders for younsters and young adults.
Vacation from War shows, in an exemplary manner, that in war and conflict zones – despite prejudice and hate – there are curious young people who no longer trust the prevailing propaganda and want to get to know the alleged enemies face to face.
All of this work is made possible through the support of countless private donors, legacies, and grants from a few selected foundations. Thus, we make sure that neither governments nor other institutional donors can influence our work.
Creating peace is a complex and challenging process that needs both endurance and patience. By considering Vacation from War in your will, you can support our peace work beyond you own life.
In addition to people close to you, you can consider organizations and projects such as Vacation from the War in your will, and thus play an important role as pathfinder for peace. In this way, you can continue with those things which are also important for you today – creating opportunities for young people to meet and engage in dialogue and promoting peace-building work on grassroots level, in regions where many have lost the hope of peace or in places where the peace process officially is considered to be closed and has therefore disappeared from the public agenda.
Being a project run by the Committee for Fundamental Rights and Democracy, a registered non-profit association, Vacation from War is exempt from inheritance tax. Therefore, your legacy will benefit our work undiminished.
You have further questions about the possibility of considering Vacation from War in a legacy in your will? Please do contact us!
