How Volunteering Makes You Healthier, Happier, and More Fulfilled
Research shows that people who volunteer feel more fulfilled overall, and they pay this forward, by building thriving communities.
"Everybody can be great…because anyone can serve," the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, and it's still true today. Volunteering opportunities are available to anyone, anywhere, and the possibilities are as varied as the causes you care about.
Being able to volunteer your time and skills, and then directly seeing how you made a positive impact, can be incredibly rewarding: Think of a student you tutored getting an A on a test, or seeing a beautiful and clean riverbank after a day picking up litter. Knowing you played a part in something good can feel pretty amazing.
But there's more! Research shows that people who volunteer feel more fulfilled overall, and they pay this forward, by building thriving communities. So, if you want to make a difference that's really meaningful, there's an easy way to get started, and that's volunteering.
Here are just a few reasons why volunteering is worth your time and effort.
Volunteering Makes You Healthier and Happier
Volunteering has been called the secret weapon of successful, happy people. Think about it: Volunteering gives you the opportunity to learn and develop new skills, like helping to build a new home, even if you've never done any carpentry before, or preparing meals for the elderly, even if you're not much of a cook. Volunteering introduces you to new people, expands your network, and builds relationships, both with your fellow volunteers and the people you serve, which makes you feel more connected to others. And when you work alongside like-minded volunteers in pursuit of a common goal, studies show you become more confident, less prone to depression, and even healthier physically.
These wellness and better health benefits are pretty impressive: Researchers at Harvard Health found that weekly volunteering makes people feel just as happy as if they got a major salary boost. Additionally, studies have shown that adults who volunteer regularly have longer lifespans and are higher functioning overall, compared to those who don't!
So, if you want a longer, happier, and more productive life, try volunteering.
Volunteering Makes Work Better
Volunteering as an individual is great, but the positive impacts really grow when it's done on a larger scale, like through a company. Hundreds of volunteers from a law firm, for example, can repaint a community center in just a day or two. A team of nurses, volunteering at a week-long mobile clinic, can get flu shots to an entire neighborhood fast and effectively. We can think of corporate volunteering as a different way to define "good work."
Nowadays, many businesses understand the importance of giving back, and have made volunteering a key part of company activities. Research shows that for employees, a company that volunteers gives them a sense of pride, a chance to develop new skills, and builds stronger connections with colleagues and the greater community. New hires want to know a company is civic-minded, too: A 2016 Deloitte study found that 61% of millennials look at a company's community involvement when deciding whether to take a job, even if they rarely or never volunteer themselves.
Those health and happiness benefits we mentioned for individual volunteers? They apply to companies that volunteer, too. It turns out that businesses with active volunteer programs have employees that are more engaged, which leads to higher employee satisfaction levels and lower turnover.
So, if you want a more rewarding career, one where your work has purpose both for the company and the community, try finding a company with a strong volunteer program.
Volunteering Builds Modern Cities
We know volunteering can make happy lives and more fulfilling workplaces. On an even bigger scale, cities benefit from volunteers, too.
A modern city, or a desirable place to live, often means a safe and healthy community, lots of innovative employers offering good jobs, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and strong public services, like excellent schools and well-run public transit. But these things don't happen by accident. They come about from actively committed citizens who take pride in their cities and want to make them the best they can be. And this type of commitment often leads to volunteering.
When it comes to a modern city that represents the power of volunteering, Minneapolis leads the way. CNN reports 37% of Minneapolis residents volunteer regularly, the most among U.S. cities. It's also top-ranked for variety, coming out as number 2 on Volunteer Match's Top 10 Cities with the Most Volunteer Opportunities. Because volunteering is such a big part of the city's identity, it's not surprising that it's tops for quality of life, too: U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Minneapolis number 6 in its Best Places to Live List. (Fun fact: COIN CEO and co-founder Megan Schleck grew up just outside the city.)
Now, we're not saying you have to pick up and move to Minneapolis – quite the opposite, in fact. If you see opportunities for volunteering in your own backyard, that's all the more reason to get involved, because it's likely your efforts will make your community better and improve your quality of life.
Here's how to get going.
Make the Most Out of Volunteering
To make volunteering especially meaningful, take the following steps.
- Choose a cause you care about. If you love animals, for example, get in touch with local shelters and rescue organizations to see how they work with volunteers. You can research available volunteering opportunities in your area on sites like Create the Good, Idealist, the United Way, and Volunteer Match.
- Think about the types of activities you'd enjoy. You could approach volunteering as a way to share your existing skills, or as an opportunity to learn something new.
- Decide how much time you want to volunteer, and how often (e.g., two hours once a week). Make it manageable for your schedule.
- Recruit your friends or family. Shared experiences bring people closer together, and you'll make an even bigger impact with more helping hands.
Volunteering provides a way to pitch in, live our values, and be the change we want to see in the world. The personal and community benefits are pretty incredible, too. So… how will you volunteer to make a difference?

As the likable host of The New York Times' wildly popular podcast The Daily, Michael Barbaro has two accomplishments to his credit.
First, he has contributed mightily to the parent New York Times Co.'s goal of making its flagship newspaper relevant. In a media ecosystem that has become increasingly fractured by the likes of Vice, Vox, BuzzFeed and other internet properties – not to forget Facebook, Apple and Google – The Grey Lady continues to showcase the value of an enduring brand name.
And, not insignificantly, by the way, Barbaro has also become an improbable cult hero to the millions of people who tune in on a regular basis.
To put this all into perspective, The Times Co. has received its fair share of criticism for failing, earlier in this century, to figure out how to maximize its world-class name. Such hopeful innovations as The Times Select, a subscription model, fizzled and was eventually terminated unsatisfactorily.
But The Daily – and, to a degree, the admired television program, The Weekly – has shown that the media goliath understands how to innovate.
A Must-Listen Destination
The Daily was an instant commercial hit. Launched in January 2017, its listener ranks swelled to 3.8 million by that August. (I emailed the Times to inquire about a current user figure, but didn't hear back in time to include the data here).
Further, The Daily has attained that elusive goal - creating a buzz in the cluttered genre of podcasts. Media people often quote from it and the vehicle has become a must-listen destination for serious news junkies and not only because it is free for Times subscribers.
The Daily's review of China's recent dispute with the NBA was a primer in what scholars like to call explanatory journalism. Barbaro and his guest, fellow Timesman Jim Yardley, did a first-rate job of explaining the nuances of China's discontent and the hapless/impossible position of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who found himself torn between the lure of China's gargantuan financial potential and his free-speech instincts. Yardley also contributed a nifty bit of historical perspective about China and the sport of basketball. This segment was a model for anyone interested in doing podcasts.
The format for The Daily is simple and effective. It focuses on one major issue of the day – ranging from President Trump's immigration policy to the demonstrations roiling Hong Kong to the #metoo movement to the Times' brilliant series on slavery. Barbaro invites a reporter (sometimes two) to discuss how (s)he covered the story. Each installment tends to last roughly 25 minutes.
The Savvy Point Guard
At the center of the hubbub is Barbaro, a Times reporter-turned-host. He is the ideal person for the job. Like a savvy point guard on a championship basketball team, Barbaro sees his primary responsibility as making sure that his gifted teammates get their share of shots.
Barbaro doesn't seem to worry about hogging the spotlight and unlike, say, MSNBC's Chris Matthews – who appears to think he is getting paid by the word – does not talk over his guests. He is comfortable in his role.
His folksy interviewing style and natural empathy may remind some of CNN's Anderson Cooper, who has made a living out of providing the kind of emotional depth that CNN viewers identify with.
The Daily's devoted flock could start a drinking game based on how many times per show Barbaro will mutter or murmur or express surprise in a quick-hitting one-syllable utterance (or begin a sentence with the word "So," which is part of his informal, breezy style). Barbaro's winning quirks have become a big part of his popularity.
A Single Caveat
It's clear that The Times Co.values The Daily as a business property. Still, I could live without having Daily staffers and notable Times journalists shill during broadcasts for the home team by imploring listeners to become Times subscribers. The line between class and crass blurs and I cringe every time I hear an employee sound the bugle call for The Times on The Daily.
I also hope that eventually we can see a Daily-lite podcast, based on lighter fare than The Daily serves up. The Times has the mojo on its side – a successful format, a proven track record, a loyal audience and a powerful staff.
The Times, once unable to master the new media, has conquered the 21st century.

Editor's Note: Inspiration to the Core
With so many new products being released each month, it can be difficult to stay focused on what we truly need to express ourselves musically. Sometimes, you have to step back and look—not at what you have, but for what you're hoping to achieve aesthetically and conceptually.
More and more, I've found my way back to my center by looking to the past for inspiration—not for the sake of nostalgia or fashion, but as a way to remind myself of where I came from and how I got to where I am, with the hope of picking up the thread where I left off. It's a way that we can be true to ourselves.
For me, a good example of this form of re-evaluation can be seen in Dave Rossum's approach to creating the Morpheus. Rather than repackage his popular z-plane filter design as it appeared in the original synth of the same name, Rossum took advantage of the technological achievements in the intervening years to create a Eurorack module that is far more powerful than its '90s-era namesake, while remaining easy to use and affordable, considering what it does.
Recently, I was inspired by a face-to-face encounter with the original Buchla system Morton Subotnick used to create his most famous works. While in Washington, DC, last April, I visited the Library of Congress' Recorded Sound Research Center. After getting my library card (I didn't know it was that easy!), I introduced myself to the librarians and explained my interests. "Do you know we have Subotnick's Buchla?" a librarian asked. I immediately made an appointment to see the historic instrument.
And I wasn't disappointed. Among the library's reading tables, I carefully unpacked the racks and ancillary parts to see what was included. Within a few short minutes, I was staring at clumps of tangled wiring inside beat-up wooden racks: old-school circuitry, yet innovative for its time. (I've posted photos of the instrument at emusician.com.)
But what's so inspiring about outdated circuitry in ratty old boxes? Without even powering up the system, the aesthetic choices that influenced its design—traceable to the interests of Don Buchla and Subotnick—were clear. As Subotnick explains in this month's interview, his goal was to design an "instrument to make instruments," and this dusty old relic was a reminder of early explorations into achieving that ideal.
Moreover, it was transformative to confront such high-order concepts through this ancient artifact, because it not only reminded me of my own interests, but also it demonstrated both how far we've come and how far we have yet to go in creating musical interfaces that truly translate what we hear in our imagination to what others can perceive.

About Us
Our Store
Our Family
(Rachel, little Matt, Becki, big Matt?, Maddie & Shelli)
Our History
In 1989, two young newlyweds, Matt from Roselle, NJ & Becki from Patchogue, Long Island, moved to the Jersey Shore and used their wedding money to open up a small 600 sq. ft. store. In the mid-90's, as the populations of central New Jersey rapidly grew, they focused and specialized in bedroom furniture and sets. They developed a reputation for carrying well-made bedroom furniture offered at reasonable prices and backed up with exceptional customer service. Four kids and more than 29 years later, that same reputation still holds true. With their expanded 12,000 sq. ft showroom, they now display over 70 baby and kids bedroom sets; the most bedrooms displayed under one roof than anywhere else in New Jersey. They would both like to invite you to visit their store! Over 50,000 people now sleep on a bed purchased from Kids Bedroom Gallery and they would love to add you to their growing list of satisfied customers.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to offer to our customers a pleasant shopping experience consisting of:
- Refreshing styles
- Reasonable prices
- A clean & spacious showroom
- "No pressure" sales associates

Our Favorite Saying:
"When you buy from a small mom or pop business, you are not helping a CEO buy
a third vacation home. You are helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get
his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage, or a
student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders and they are the ones
we strive to make happy.
We thank you for supporting our family business!

What Chinese Students Told Meposted: 3.28.13 by Andrea Lunsford
Flying in to Beijing from San Francisco, I wondered what I would encounter at Beihang University. I had been invited to visit this large university in the fall of 2012 but had to postpone the trip because of back surgery. I had hoped to learn a lot more about the university and its students in the months I gained by the postponement, but little information was forthcoming. What I knew was that the College of Foreign Languages at Beihang has a new Department of Rhetoric and Communication and that the Dean, whose Ph.D. is in linguistics from Carnegie Mellon, wanted some U.S. scholars to visit to help establish the new department. I was very excited about the visit, but also intimidated by the news that they wanted me to deliver two 2-hour lectures every day of the visit–and by the fact that I didn't know my audience, a big problem to one who preaches the necessity of audience awareness!
Greeting me at the airport were two graduate students who shepherded me to the Beihang Training Center, the hotel on campus where I was staying. Soon after, we joined a group for a quick supper in the dining hall, and then I was grateful to be able to go to bed. The next day was my first lecture, this one to 600 first- and second-year students on why I believe rhetoric and argument are necessary to all of us today. [read more]

"Soma in Yoga and Ayurveda weaves together with remarkable clarity rejuvenation of the body, revitalization of the mind, and awakening to the inherent immortality of the Spirit. The book reveals special healing secrets of Soma from the ancient Vedic rishis and yogis reflecting a profound vision and wide range of application that can transform both our individual lives and our collective culture. Vamadeva Shastri has provided one of the most important and original books on Yoga and Ayurveda in recent times that is bound to be studied for decades to come."
Deepak Chopra, author ?Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New Self
What is the secret of Soma, the legendary mystic drink of immortality, first lauded by India's ancient Vedic seers? Is Soma a single plant, type of plants, a way of healing, a special intoxicant, or an inner elixir produced by Yoga and meditation?
Going back to the vision of the Vedic seers, David Frawley reveals the secret of Soma for body, mind and spirit, with its profound implications from diet and herbs to pranayama, mantra and meditation. His new analysis of Soma, reflecting forty years of study of Vedic texts, is practical, comprehensive and deeply insightful – so that you can bring the secret power of Soma into all aspects of your life and consciousness, and for the world as a whole.
He follows the yogic approach of Ganapati Muni, the chief disciple of the great Advaitic guru Ramana Maharshi.

THERE is a €3,000 subsidy for the installation of a system to recycle grey water (water used in the bath, wash-basins and laundries, but not toilets or the kitchen sink). The recycled water could be used for the irrigation of gardens.
Besides households, the scheme applies to schools, sports grounds, gyms, hotels etc, which are connected to a public water supply network and a central sewage system.
The subsidy for premises other than private houses covers 40% of the total cost to a maximum of €7,000.
Another subsidy scheme covers the drilling of a borehole for irrigation of gardens in private houses connected to a public water supply system. The amount of the subsidy is €700. There is a further €700 subsidy scheme for connecting the borehole to the toilet flush.
The WDD offers another scheme for the installation of a hot water circulation pump available for houses, offices, shops and foundations, worth €220.
Applications for all four schemes should reach the Water Development Department by December 6, 2010.

Hi I was looking at your article on water subsidies , when I contacted the relevant water organisation they requested deeds for the villa , which I currently don't have.
Is there any way of getting round this. Also what is the cost of installing a recycling water system thanks.

Dangerous Trend of Global Wealth
The trend of the total amount of global hedge funds is as follows:
1990 $39 billion
1995 $257 billion
2000 $491 billion
2005 $1.105 trillion
2006 $1.405 trillion
2007 $1.868 trillion
2008 $1.407 trillion
2009 $1.6 trillion
2010 $1.917 trillion
2011 $2.008 trillion
2012 $2.192 trillion
2013 $2.63 trillion
March 2014 $2.7 trillion
This amount accounts for about 5% of the total value of stock prices in global stock markets.
So, there is wealth in the global stock markets worth $62.4 trillion.
It could be distributed as 10,000 dollars per person globally, since there are more than 6 billion people in the world. Or it is contributed to by each person in the world with 10,000 dollars.
It is apparent the world entered a very dangerous era since 2005 as the above table and figure show. In the Christmas season of 2004, the world largest tsunami occurred off Sumatra, Indonesia, taking on hundreds of million lives. And in 2005, John Paul II died.
This trend was not even stopped completely in 2008 when the global financial crisis occurred starting from Wall Street.
This growth of wealth used by Satan as a tool against God must be stopped. Or something that can completely control it in the name of God must appear. Otherwise, mankind will face a very serious catastrophe sooner or later.

A Jazz-Inspired Pre-Wedding in Mumbai
Wedding Photography & Films - Dec 10, 2018
Parthvi and Tej's pre-wedding by WeddingSutra Favorite – Reflexion by Nishchay Shinde captivates with its charming vibe, compelling soundtrack and slow-motion flow. The couple took to the streets of Mumbai early on a Sunday morning as the city has played an important part in their love story. They painted the town 'Black and White' for their pre-wedding film whose pace is lovely and languid like a relaxing weekend.
The film captures the essence of South Mumbai with its iconic laneways, heritage buildings, and colonial architecture which serve as beautiful backdrops for the video. This evocative settings, paired with exceptional videography resulted in a glamorous and natural shoot as if Parthvi and Tej were on a real date and blissfully unaware of any cameras following them. Tej looks elegant in his white shirt, black trousers and black bow tie, while Parthvi reprises yesteryears glamor in her black -semi flapper-style dress and pinned back hair.
Through it all, the thread that ties it all together is the beautiful Jazz soundtrack called 'Sunday Kind of Love' by Etta James that perfectly complements the romantic moments that are rich with the palpable chemistry the couple share. The soothing soundtrack and smooth transitions make this film a multi-sensorial, magical delight, from the opening frames, capturing Parthvi waiting for Tej to the couple happily ensconced in each other's arms in the end. Who says fairytales only have to be in color? This one is vibrant with emotions filling the black and white frames.

De Beers and the government of the Republic of Namibia have announced a 10-year sales agreement for the sorting, valuing, and sales of diamonds from Namdeb Holdings, the mining company owned equally by De Beers and Namibia.

March was amazing, a little bit full of work but amazing!
I had my first exams of the semester and, thank God, I passed the first hurdles with no big issues. I'm still in the run! ❤ Also, I enjoyed the Holy Week more than I imagined. I studied until Glory Saturday and only slept 2 days but I ate a lot of torrejas. 🙂
Also, I finally ate chilaquiles, again! I discovered Pizza Hut offers green chilaquiles as one of their breakfasts and I couldn't be more excited. Of course, I went to try them!
And last but not least, I started playing Final Fantasy VII. I took a picture of the important keys because the first time I played it, all of the characters were running except mine. I press the button all I could and still my character was walking. Hahahahhaa. I'm getting better at it, though.
March taught me a lot of things about focus and discipline, I'm still learning but I've learn so far that as long as you're disciplined, a lot of great things happen, like the milestones I'm about to celebrate with you!
Milestones that made me happy this March 📚
+900 photos on Instagram.
I love Instagram so much, I have now +900 photos shared there! Woohoo. And there's still more to come! I like to share just one per day, so if you'd like to see one picture per day from me, here's my profile: http://instagram.com/queith ❤
80 people read my mails!
I wrote about this just a few days ago: I started writing my book even though I only had 3 email subscribers and now, we're 80! I can't believe how much my list has grown so far. I'm very thankful for everyone of you who wants to keep in touch with me! ❤
Right now, I'm sharing everything I know about writing books, so if you're writing a book, I think you need to hop on my list right now: http://kath.pw ❤
Also, I added a pop-up in this blog (yes, now you can add pop-ups on WordPress) so, if you want to join my email list without leaving this blog, just sign up when the thingy appears. 🙂
20 subscribers on Youtube
What! This is what surprised me the most to be honest! My Youtube channel is like the most ignored thing in the world and I was just uploading some videos to spice my posts up (like me reading books or the video with a lot of photos of the month for the milestones post). But, somehow it has called the attention of 20 of you! ❤
Thank you so much for it. I'm excited about that because my plans for April are take a part of VEDA, a tag that stands for Vlogging Every Day April, which means I'll be sharing my life with 20 people. ❤
If you want to see my videos, check them out at http://youtube.com/kathmontero 🙂

Vegan Summer Barbecue Plate: Grilled Teriyaki Skewers and Chimichurri Sweet Potatoes
From late spring to late fall, the agricultural regions of California are bursting with juicy, delicious food. Peaches, peppers, sweet onions, corn, strawberries… it is a wonder that anyone would think they need to eat animals! Life is so abundant in the summer months.
This three-in-one recipe brings colors, cultures, and flavors together for a tasty and light summer barbecue plate, perfect for Fourth of July weekend!
Most ingredients can be purchased at your local farmer's market in the summer season. Let's remember that local plant based food is one of the best things we can give to our bodies as well as the planet!
This recipe includes homemade chimichurri, a garlicky and tangy South American sauce made mostly of fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, and chilies. Put it on anything and everything: as a salad dressing or marinade, on potatoes or rice, you name it! Extra chimi can be stored in the fridge for 2-4 days.
A side note: Don't try to make this amazing sauce with dried herbs… it just won't do it justice!
Simple Summer Veggie Skewer Recipe
Chop the veggies and pineapple into roughly equal, square-ish chunks, so they'll lay on the grill evenly. Place the chunks in the large bowl.
Drizzle with a little olive oil, about 1-2 tbsp, and mix thoroughly with your hands. You want them to be completely but lightly coated so they don't stick to the grill.
Drizzle on the teriyaki sauce, and mix again with your hands. Start with about 3 tbsp and add to your taste, but err on the side of caution with the sauce: it's going to caramelize on the grill and give the veggies a delicious sweet glaze, but if you overdo it, you'll only taste teriyaki!
Fill up your skewers with your veggies and pineapple, leaving a little space between each one. Tip: Placing onions at the ends make your skewers nice and sturdy. Arrange the skewers on the tray/cookie sheet. Lightly sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder. Flip and repeat on both sides.
If you have a basting brush, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil. Preheat the grill on medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, (you'll know because the skewers will hiss when you place them on the grates), arrange your skewers and cook each side for 5-8 minutes, until they get a little softened and brown on the edges.
Be sure to make enough for sharing with your veg-curious friends!
Grilled Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Scrub and dry the potatoes. Cut into semi-thick slices, about ¼ inch.
Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, just enough to coat. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, to taste. A little goes a long way. Stir with your hands to coat the slices in oil.
If you have a basting brush, lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil. Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place slices on the grill and cover for about 5-7 minutes, until potatoes soften and get that gorgeous char mark on them. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Load these up on a tray and serve with the chimichurri sauce below!
Chimichurri Recipe
Combine vinegar, chili, shallot, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Mix and set aside while you chop the herbs.
Chop the cilantro, oregano, and parsley super finely. Squeeze the herbs together into a ball on the cutting board and chop it as finely as you can in one direction, and then turn the cutting board 90 degrees and chop again. Repeat this a few times.
Add your herbs to the bowl and stir. Last but not least, while you're still stirring with a whisk or fork, add the olive oil.
Let the chimi sit while your potatoes grill.
Drizzle over finished potatoes or set aside for dipping!

Dagyum Ji is a senior NK News correspondent based in Seoul. She previously worked for Reuters TV.
U.S. insistence that international sanctions will remain in place until North Korea fully denuclearizes is not a "realistic" position, a former top Bush Administration nuclear negotiator told NK News this week, arguing diplomats must be clearer about what Washington expects.
Speaking in an extended interview at the 19th World Knowledge Forum in Seoul, Christopher Hill, who served as head of the U.S. delegation to the Six Party Talks on North Korea's nuclear program in the 2000s, said current U.S.-DPRK talks were being undermined by a lack of clarity from both sides.
"I don't think the Trump policy of keeping sanctions in place until North Korea completes denuclearization is realistic. I think there needs to be a tight sequencing of actions by all parties," Hill, who led negotiations in his capacity as Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs at U.S. Department of State from 2005 to 2009, said.
"The issue is to work out what that sequence is."
Hill told NK News that while he welcomed the ongoing diplomatic rapprochement between Washington and Pyongyang, he believed President Trump's "understanding" of the North Korean issue "could be improved."
He also discussed his past role as a negotiator with North Korea, whether Kim Jong Un really intends to relinquish his nuclear arsenal, and South Korea's position as a mediator between Pyongyang and Washington.
This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity and readability
NK News: Do you believe North Korean leader Kim Jong Un really wants to give up his nuclear arsenal, and do you believe he would exchange those weapons for assistance with economic development?
Christopher Hill: No. I say no because I think it is better to say "no, not at this time." But I think Kim Jong Un believes the nuclear program that he has is the best way to encourage the Americans to remove its troops from the Korean peninsula, and I think that's what he is trying to do.
And when he looks for corresponding measures from the United States, it's not just about economic measures, I think he looks for the corresponding security measures – namely, the removal of U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula.
NK News: South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are eager to declare an end to the Korean War. Do you believe the prospect of USFK withdrawal is the reason why Kim Jong Un has pushed hard for this this?
Christopher Hill: Yes. I think the declaration of the end of the war is something that they want to see because they believe it will assist in their argument that that U.S. forces need to leave. My impression is they think that the declaration of the end of the war will lead to the withdrawal of the U.S. troops.
That's certainly not the U.S. view, and I don't think it's the South Korean view, but I think it is the North Korean view. Our troops are there pursuant to our alliance with South Korea, not because of what happened in 1950.
NK News: In your opinion, if Pyongyang asks the U.S. to withdraw their troops from the Korean peninsula, do you think the Moon administration or the South Korean government would agree to it?
Christopher Hill: I think it's speculative – we don't know – but I think that's a matter between the U.S. and the ROK. It has to do with our alliance. If North Korea is saying "we will do away with nuclear weapons, but we want to end the alliance between the U.S. and South Korea" I don't think that's their right.
Our alliance is in support of each other. We are major trading partners, we have a lot of cultural, economic, political ties between South Korea and the U.S. It's not for North Korea to tell us about our relationship with South Korea.
"My impression is they think that the declaration of the end of the war will lead to the withdrawal of the U.S. troops"
NK News: North Korea has said it will allow inspectors into the Punggye-ri nuclear test ground and the Tongchang-ri missile engine test site. Do you believe that's a reasonable trade for an end-of-war declaration?
Christopher Hill: No. I think we need to get a full picture of the North Korean nuclear program – the full picture as provided in the declaration. Then we need to have some kind of idea of what would be a schedule for dismantlement.
Unfortunately, the North Koreans have decided the schedule and decided what is to be dismantled. It is not pursuant to an agreed plan. If there was an agreed plan, they may not start with Punggye-ri test site because they can always use another test site – it's a matter of digging holes.
NK News: In the Pyongyang Declaration, the North also expressed its willingness to permanently dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear facility in exchange for corresponding measures in accordance with the June 12 US-DPRK Joint Statement from the U.S. – what could be corresponding measures that North Korea might ask for?
Christopher Hill: They don't need to do this in the press. They need to sit down and tell Pompeo that, and then make a specific request on the U.S. side.
I think it should something significant from the U.S. side. I don't know what it is, but that's a real active denuclearization, I think it needs to be balanced against a real active sanctions relief. If you really dismantle Yongbyon and then have international inspectors there, that's real.
NK News: Do you consider that the measures Pyongyang has taken so far are not part of a genuine comprehensive denuclearization process?
Christopher Hill: Yes. It's not the agreed plan. I don't think that they should get to make random acts of denuclearization. I think the acts of denuclearization need to be agreed.
"We shouldn't be guessing what they want, we should be asking them what they want."
I would think that they should shut down the means to produce fissile material. I would do that before the Punggye-ri test site. The Punggye-ri test site would only be important if they were planning a nuclear test and then they say, "we cannot have the test because we've shut down the test site." I don't think that's how it works.
NK News: When compared to the period you were involved in nuclear negotiations as a chief nuclear negotiator, do you believe that North Korea is demanding more or less in return for denuclearization than it did?
Christopher Hill: I don't know. We have to ask them. What do they want? What do they want? I don't know the answer to that question. Do they want economic assistance? I suspect they want more. I suspect they want something on the non-nuclear side of security.
I believe that they probably want us to pull our troops out of South Korea. But it doesn't matter what I believe, it is a question for them. What do they want?
I don't know what they want. We need to get into a negotiation. We shouldn't be guessing what they want, we should be asking them what they want. We should say: "look, if you dismantle Yongbyon, if you dismantle your highly enriched uranium, what do you want from us?" That's the question.
I don't know the answer to that. And if they say, "we want your forces off the Korean peninsula", my answer would be "no." If they say, "we want more economic assistance", I would say, "yeah, let's talk about that." If they say "we want you to reduce exercises with South Korea," I would say "okay, let's talk about that." But to withdraw our troops from South Korea, to me, is not acceptable.
NK News: Do you think that the Trump administration is moving in the right direction on North Korea?
Christopher Hill: I would like to see a more comprehensive diplomatic architecture, and I don't see it right now. China is a historic ally of North Korea – whether they should be a historic ally or should not be, the fact is they are a historic ally.
China is not going to sit around waiting for the U.S. to give them a report of what their meeting is or what their agreement is with the North Koreans. China needs to be a part of that. I think, to suggest that China is just a by-stander waiting for the U.S. to finish this, is a lie.
NK News: Some argue there is a need to build a multilateral framework to curb the influence of North Korea. After the failure of the Six-Party Talks, do you think this is still true?
Christopher Hill: It wasn't a failure of the process, it was a failure of North Korea to honor the process. So I don't say it's a failure of the Six-Party Talks and therefore we need to try Two-Party Talks. That doesn't make sense to me.
It's not a matter of the process, it's a matter of whether North Korea is prepared to take these measures. They say they are, and if they are, they should be prepared to do it at a multilateral context.
"I would like to see a more comprehensive diplomatic architecture, and I don't see it right now"
NK News: Was the fundamental cause of failure back in the 2000s Pyongyang's failure to keep its promises?
Christopher Hill: Yes, yes, yes. If the problem were that they didn't get enough sanctions relief from us, they should have asked for it. They never asked for more. What they did was they said they would do away with all their nuclear weapons and they did not even declare what their highly enriched uranium program was. And then they wouldn't give us verification.
So they were asking for a kind of exceptionalism to our verification regimes that are accepted the world round except by the North Koreans. North Korea cannot claim some kind of exceptionalism. They need to understand that if they want to live in the world, they have to go by the rules of the world.
I know the United States has been accused of not accepting the rules of the game, and I think every country needs to work on doing better, but the North Koreans need to work a lot harder because they are far removed from any kind of sensible and honest approach.
NK News: To resume the multilateral framework negotiations, there would need to be agreement between concerned parties on sanctions. How can we make that breakthrough?
Christopher Hill: Again, China is not going to be indifferent to what happens. China needs to be involved. We cannot presume that China will just wait on the side and wait for the U.S. to come and inform them.
I don't think that's a realistic expectation. So, I'm kind of getting back to a multilateral framework – I know people don't like the idea of Six-Party Talks, fine, I don't care, but there needs to be some coordination.
NK News: Do you then agree with the top-down approach to resolve the North Korean nuclear issues?
Christopher Hill: I think there is some value having the President say "I believe in this," but I don't think that he should try to negotiate it.
Unless he becomes a much better expert on nuclear weapons than I think he is, he should let his staff negotiate it. But if he wants to start from the beginning by saying "I believe in this and I'm committed to it", that's good.
I'm just saying when I was doing it, not everybody in Washington was committed to it. I had a lot of people who opposed to it, but President Bush supported it, and I think President Trump supports it. But I think he should not then try to negotiate it himself because I don't think he understands it.
NK News: So do you think that President Trump has a lack of understanding of North Korean affairs?
Christopher Hill: I wouldn't say that, but I think his understanding could be improved.
"I don't believe the negotiations have gone well and nor do I think there is any achievement yet"
NK News: But he doesn't have enough to take the initiative in nuclear negotiations?
Christopher Hill: If he wants to meet with Kim Jong Un and say "we believe in this" and assure the North Koreans that President Trump actually believes in this, fine. But then he needs to turn it over and support his team.
NK News: Trump has announced that he will hold a second summit with Kim Jong Un after the midterm election. Does this mean negotiations are going well?
Christopher Hill: I don't believe the negotiations have gone well and nor do I think there is any achievement yet, but I think it's better that they negotiate than to be insulting each other through the media.
NK News: My understanding is that Trump appears to be satisfied with the results of nuclear negotiations. Is there any risk that Trump may give up his goal of achieving complete denuclearization and make concessions with North Korea?
Christopher Hill: You have to ask him. I sometimes don't understand the things he says. And when he says something like "the nuclear threat from North Korea is finished," I'm not sure I understand what he is saying. Neither does he.
NK News: So you don't have trust in Trump?
Christopher Hill: I have trust issues, yes. Again, I think it is a good idea to talk to the North Koreans, but I think this needs to be tightened up – clear statements of what each side wants, clear statements of what the differences are, things like that. It's very unclear.
NK News: From your perspective, did U.S. President George Bush have a clearer message, compared to Trump, on North Korea?
Christopher Hill: We had the Six-Party agreement. China understood it, we understood it, the North Koreans understood it, the South Koreans understood it, the Japanese understood it, and the Russians understood it. That was clear.
In Singapore, we had one page which looks like it was written in some kind of haste. I don't understand it – it's not well written.
NK News: But do you think it's still valuable that Pyongyang and Washington have reached an agreement on the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula?
Christopher Hill: Yeah, I am all in favor of negotiation, but I think they need to be much clearer about each side's obligations. Trump is continuing to say he will do nothing until there is full denuclearization, the North Koreans are continuing to say they will do nothing until there is full sanctions relief, even till today, that's how they are talking. So there is obviously some problem there.
NK News: North Korea has consistently said in recent weeks it wants "trust-building" steps from the U.S.
Based on your experience as a diplomat, what could be North Korea's definition of confidence-building and how can both sides enhance mutual trust to facilitate negotiations?
Christopher Hill: I don't think the Trump policy of keeping sanctions in place until North Korea completes denuclearization is realistic. I think there needs to be a tight sequencing of actions by all parties.
"I am all in favor of negotiation, but I think they need to be much clearer about each side's obligations"
The issue is to work out what that sequence is. I think, for example, the U.S. should be prepared to start discussions on a treaty or a declaration, the U.S. should be prepared to do that provided the North Koreans are doing things on denuclearization.
So, I think they can have much better sequencing. I don't think the U.S. will be successful in demanding everything from the North Koreans before any sanctions relief, but I don't think North Korea will be successful demanding all the sanctions relief before they do anything on denuclearization.
NK News: So, what would be the best solution to break the deadlock?
Christopher Hill: Work it out. Negotiate it. Sit down and say, "okay, if you do that, we'll do this". And then they say, "well, if we do this, you need to do this and this". Then "okay, we'll talk about that". That's called negotiation. But there is no negotiation, from what I can tell. There is just sort of general discussions.
NK News: In terms of sanctions relief, South Korea appears to seek relief or exemption from sanctions to resume inter-Korean economic cooperation. Seoul thinks that the resumption of economic cooperation can be a valuable political card to encourage North Korea to denuclearize.
From your perspective, how might Seoul's attempt to boost the inter-Korean economic cooperation affect the ongoing nuclear negotiations between the DPRK and the U.S.?
Christopher Hill: I think there needs to be a better understanding of the scope and pace of peninsula talks. The South Koreans seem to have ambitious plans in this regard. I think they need to make sure there is an understanding between the U.S. and South Korea.
It's not that the U.S. decides this, or South Korea decides this, but I think there needs to be some better understanding on what they are doing and some better connection between the peninsula talks they are doing and the denuclearization talks.
Again, I think the Americans need to be very respectful of the bitter history that's divided this peninsula. At the same time, we all need to understand that the alliance has been a very good thing for both countries and when we take actions, we should do so in a way that strengthens that alliance.
NK News: Before the fifth inter-Korean summit, President Moon had said that he hoped to enhance his role in facilitating DPRK-U.S. nuclear negotiations. Do you believe President Moon's mediation has helped?
Christopher Hill: I'm more interested in President Moon as an ally rather than as a mediator. I don't think there should be a need for a mediator if the ROK and the U.S. are together in the negotiations. I would like more effort to multilateralize the talks and include South Korea in real time in the talks.
"I think there needs to be a better understanding of the scope and pace of peninsula talks"
NK News: It seems that there have been some inconsistencies between Washington and Seoul concerning North Korean policy. Do you believe that there has been decoupling in handling North Korean issues?
Christopher Hill: I don't know what the Trump policy is. He says one thing, John Bolton says another, Pompeo says something else. I don't know what the policy is and I think that's a problem.
NK News: You just mentioned that there has been no consistency among the key officials in the Trump administration over the North Korean policy, what could be the ramifications of the inconsistency between the officials?
Christopher Hill: I think when there is inconsistency, there is also confusion. I think the North Koreans, when they sit down with Pompeo, should be able to say "if we denuclearize, if we get rid of all of our nuclear weapons, get rid of the fissile material, we need to know what you would be prepared to do".
That's a fair question. And we need an answer. I don't know what the answer is because I'm confused too. Pompeo is saying one thing, you've got Bolton saying another, and you've got the president saying lots of things.
NK News: When you worked for the Bush administration, were no inconsistencies between key officials?
Christopher Hill: We had problems, but nothing like today.
NK News: And were North Korea's demands much more clear when compared to today?
Christopher Hill: Yeah, because we had a piece of paper that was written in English and the paper said: "North Korea shall abandon their nuclear programs and nuclear weapons and return, at an early date, to the Non-Proliferation Treaty" – very clear.
"I don't know what the Trump policy is"
NK News: But what was the most difficult part when you were engaging in nuclear negotiations with North Korea?
Christopher Hill: They seemed to want things until they didn't want things. It was always difficult to see what their strategy was. I was told by the Chinese that they wanted to have interest sections – that is, not embassies, but North Korean offices in Washington and an American office in Pyongyang, which is what we did with China in 1972.
I was told that the North Koreans really wanted that, so I went back to Washington, I fought very hard, I got Rice and Bush to agree to it, I came back to the North Koreans I said "good news! if you want to have an office in Washington and we have an office in Pyongyang, we approve that."
And they said "no, we don't want that". So I went back to the Chinese and said "I thought you said that they wanted it" and the Chinese said "well, they did want it… I guess they changed their mind." So that was a problem.

I've noticed that when people are playing in pool (mainly jumping around, resulting in a "wave" action in the water) occasionally I'll hear a knocking/thudding sound that appears to emanate near the skimmer & portion of plumbing that is above ground, you can feel pipes vibrate slightly. I turn pump off as soon as I hear it & wait a few minutes, start back up & it's gone. Does the waviness of water going in single skimmer doing this? Some sort of air lock? Any way to prevent from obviously not jumping around? Thanks!

I'm going to buy a watch for
$100,000. The seller says that I can deposit
$30,000 by wire-transfer, and then pay the whole thing off in
6 months, and after it is fully paid, I will get the watch. I can afford this, but why should I risk paying him this money, when I can just save this on my own without paying him a dime? Are there any advantages to layaway?
If It helps understand why I would spend that much on a watch here's a similar one: http://www.jomashop.com/audemars-piguet-watch-26322or-zz-1222or-01.html?utm_source=googleproduct&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=googleproductsearch&pt_source=googleads&pt_medium=cpc&pt_campaign=(ROI)+Shopping+-+Non-Sale+Watches+$10000+-+25000&gclid=CK2zvua_oNQCFRBMDQodl1EMsQ

Nickname: Lost Boys
The origins of the Lothorian bloodline remain a mystery to this day. None of its members known are older than Seventh generation. All of the research presented here comes from Ahab, a Malkavian who has dedicated himself to discovering the final dichotomy of truth.
The roots of the Lothorian have been traced deep behind the Silk Curtain. While the founder of the line is unknown, all of the earliest practitioners are Oriental. Ahab reports to have contacted a few, and gives us the following:
The Lothorian (not the original name, obviously) is one of four bloodlines dedicated to the five elements. The Lothorian line is of the Air; these five lines work in concert and opposition to one another. This explanation, while still an enigma, is supported by two pieces of evidence very strongly: The hatred by the lycanthropes (Earth=Gaia) as well as their unique weakness, to be discussed later.
(For the reader's interest, no information is yet available on the other four lines.)
But this long tradition from the Orient has little impact on the Neonates. This is partly due to the reticence of the Oriental Kindred. But the real problem is that of the Lothorian traditions. In the Embrace, the lone Lothorian will embrace a handful of childer at once, teaching them little more than survival. They are taught nothing of the Traditions of the Camarilla; they usually learn nothing at all of other Kindred. This lack of education has led to their defeat time and time again (and if one survives, he teaches his brood just as he was taught, perpetuating the cycle of ignorance.) Their defeats have been at the hands of inexperienced hunters, raging Lupines, and other occasional horrors (like the one brood that was haunted by a Hunter who kept being reincarnated.) Rumor also holds that the Oriental sect of the clan will hire kindred to destroy these young upstarts.
The Neonates of the clan, these packs, are Anarchs of the worst kind. They break the Masquerade at will, running the streets like an immortal gang. So far, their activities have been confined to the Anarch Free States and surrounding territories. Most Princes know little of this line, identifying them as simple Caitiff, or more commonly, Sabbat. The Sabbat, on the other claw, knows of the Lothorian powers, and are quite interested in using this clan for their own ends.
The Broods are always started by a Master Vamp, who then Embraces the rest. Sometimes, he Embraces one who he then has embrace the rest, thus keeping the masses with weaker power. Neonates are always observed as humans, chosen for their strength or appearance. These chosen are made into Ghouls first, and then after they prove their worth, are made one of the line. Those deemed unworthy are lunch.
All members are bound to the master, sometimes unwittingly (such as with a wine bottle to be passed around.) Even the Ghouls are bound to this. The first embraced by the master works as a sort of second-in-command, and may or may not be seen as the master.
Appearance: Young toughs, almost all are chosen from their late teens or early twenties. The rumors of James Dean as Kindred come from one brood in San Francisco, who was chosen just for that very reason.
Havens: The brood usually keeps a communal haven, in some abandoned place far from the hunt. Some old forgotten haunt is preferrable, like an abandoned hotel, or an old '50s bomb shelter. And travel is never a problem....
Backgrounds: Misfits and Anarchs of the youth culture, always Ghouled before Embraced.
Character Creation: Nature and Demeanor favorites are Rebel, Deviant, Jester, and Bravo, although all bets are off for the Nature in some cases. Physical attributes & Talents are primary.
Clan Disciplines: Icarus, Potence, Protean
Culture: Ignored by Camarilla in most cases, Hunted by them in the others. They appear to have some long-lost tie to the Gangrel, but if this was true, it was probably a marrige of convenience. They have recently started making forays out of the Anarch Free States, but to little success.
Weakness: The true Line weakness is a throwback from their roots: A stake to the heart will kill them. Final Death. Also, due to the lack of education, Hollywood-itis runs rampant. Many end up with flaws of Cast No Reflection, Repelled By Garlic, and Repelled by Religious Objects.
The Double Edged Razor:
There is one great secret of the Lothorian,
guarded by those of high generation (who have little to no
contact with each other, ever.) This cannot be explained, only
observed. If a Lothorian has a full Blood Pool, and is invited
into a house by the master of the house, all vampiric
weaknesses and powers are negated. Blood pumps the heart,
she can eat food, (please note the aura remains pale)
skin temperature rises. The Vampire is human to all who view
him. (He is, however, still vulnerable to sunlight, fire,
and the stake.) If the Lothorian is not invited or the
invitation is repealed, all bets are off.
Remember, this secret is closedly guarded by the higher generations: no one else knows of it, much less how they do it.
Humanity: Most Lothorians lose their humanity while Ghouled. Their brutal practices strip away what little they have. Most seem to follow the Path Of Cathari.
AFTERWORD: Imprimis, remember that all the names used in this article are the American names. The Oriental names are much different, as is their entire outlook. Secundus, the Oriental Kindred logically would have different sorts of disciplines, as well as being more powerful due to their higher generation. More information will be made available as it is discovered by Ahab, who is still researching this enigma behind the Silk Curtain.

How to Gain Muscle Mass (HARDGAINER EDITION)
What's up, guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.com. So, today I've got Jessie with me. You recognize Jessie, I'm sure, from his gummy
bear fetish from a previous video. It's not about gummy bears today. It's about being a hard gainer. Believe it or not, his gummy bear fetish does
play into why Jessie is what he calls a "hard gainer". Now, first of all you may or may not be a
hard gainer watching this, but you're going to be able to benefit from this video because
I'm going to show you three things that you need to change – most of it is mindset – to
stop being one, or stop even thinking of yourself as one ever again. Firstly, effort alone will not stop you from
being a hard gainer. Matter of fact, effort can confuse you as
a hard gainer because nobody ever said "I'm a hard gainer who doesn't work out." They work out, they do everything, they put
in effort, and it's just that they can't gain muscle. So they say "I really have a hard time putting
on muscle, or making gains." That's where the term comes from. However, you have to stop confusing effort
for the right type of effort. I wanted to illustrate this. I told Jessie – all I told him to grab was
a pair of dumbbells here and then I would choose an appropriate weight for him. I asked him what he would grab on a dumbbell
curl. Okay, so Jessie, grab the dumbbells that you
would choose. He chose 30. I chose 20s, by the way. I've been doing this a long time. I pretty much know what people should be using. Go ahead. Now, he's just going to do his curls. Now, it doesn't look that horrible to people
that see other people in the gym doing these types of things. He's swinging a little bit, yeah. But I'm okay with that. But look at some of the other things. I'm going to point them out and be very picky,
because it's for illustration purposes. As he comes down he's turning his dumbbells
down, away from himself. Now, there's a reason why. You can stop, Jess. There's a reason why. Instinctively, he's trying to do everything
he can to make the exercise less difficult. His body knows that. Like, if I'm coming up, if I can start turning
it down and away I don't have to – I'm not really eccentrically loading the bicep. So it becomes an easier exercise. It's just something he didn't consciously
do, but it just happened. You have to start becoming trained as to what
you're really trying to accomplish if you want to stop being a hard gainer. I want you to force the muscle that you're
trying to get to grow to actually grow. So I want you, and you to start using the
bicep and make sure that it is doing the work. So that's why I chose 20s because they're
going to be lighter, but you'll be able to do what I want you to do. Grab the 20s and I just want to see you if
you can feel the difference. So now, when I see curls I want to see you
keep your elbows into your sides here, and as you come up, really contract here. Initiate from the elbow, contract all the
way up here, get it – don't go too far because you could almost rest these things
up here, right? I want you to get right to about here and
get some tension, and then when you lower, don't let the dumbbells turn away from you. Let them stay right here and face the camera,
okay? Now, as you can, if you get more advanced,
you actually start to turn them – as we talked about – as you're coming up, but
I don't really care about that at the moment. So now come up, squeeze it nice and slow,
and of course, down slow. Right there. Now you're already huffing and puffing because
it's a much – yeah. You're probably only at about six reps with
this. But the idea is – one more rep. the idea
is, quality reps will trump reps every single time. A rep alone doesn't count. A quality rep counts. So you'll stop being a hard gainer when you
stop thinking about how easy you can make the exercise. At least subconsciously. The second thing that a lot of guys will do:
they might be self-conscious when they go to the gym. I've addressed this before, I call it exerphobia. They don't address the exercises that will
probably do the best for helping them to build muscle all over and that would be your compound
lifts. Like deadlifts. Like squats. Like bench pressing the bar. I don't want to do a bench press. I could get the thing caught on my chest and
everybody in the gym is going to be laughing at me. There's a lot of psychological things that
go along with being a skinnier guy in the gym and being self-conscious about the lifts
that we do. It's far easier to stand near a dumbbell rack,
grab some 20s and do this because I can kind of hide in the corner. Believe me, I've done it myself, okay? I've done it myself. I could be doing my little shoulder presses
over here in the corner and I don't have to worry about trying to do some kind of clean
and then a press. So don't allow yourself self-consciousness
to steer you away from learning the right way to do those compound exercises. So again, I feel hard gainers avoid the hard
exercises instead of actually attacking them and learning them. On this channel I try to cover those concepts
so I can teach you the right way to do them and empower you to go to the gym and do it. Finally, let's talk about the gummy bears. Let's talk about nutrition. Jessie's not one to shy away from eating. You should see how much he eats in a day. The issue here is that he's not eating enough
quality calories. You can eat 5000 calories of shit, or 3000
calories of quality calories and it's going to have a huge impact on how much muscle you
build, okay? Because you truly are what you eat. You provide your body with the substrates
to build and if you're doing it with all sugar and no real substance – no micronutrients,
no real substance that you're getting into your body to allow your muscles to build and
thrive, no protein, just a bunch of sugar all day – you're not providing yourself
with the building blocks to become a bigger, sturdier, more formidable version of yourself. So Jessie's issue here – as the issue for
most people is – he's heard before "Well, as long as I eat I'll be fine. Eat big, get big." I've taught them about the "eat big, get big"
bullshit myth. It's not going to help you. Cut back if you have to, what you're eating,
as long as you'll start trading in the junk for more quality calories. Again, 5000 calories of gummy bears, versus
5000 calories of chicken and rice; you're going to have a profound difference on how
your body responds in terms of developing more muscle and new tissue, okay? So again, we bring Jessie out here, but Jessie
is in training here. He's learning, as I hope you are. He's happy – you're not here, I didn't capture
you here and make you do this, right? By participation, Jessie wants to be here
because he knows that the things that we talk about and are given on a daily basis can be
helpful for a lot of people watching and willing to do that. By the way, Jessie, come over here. He's actually starting to make some gains
as he's getting out of this concussion haze and we're starting to do some work. You can see, the kid is starting to get some
growth. So we're going to keep working with Jessie
in the days and weeks ahead. You're here now. But I want you guys to stay tuned as we continue
to bring you videos like this. If you have any other issues that you may
have that you want me to cover, or help to answer along with Jessie, I'm happy to do
that. Leave your comments and questions below. In the meantime, if you're looking for a program
that lays it all out step by step, and tells you the right way to train, it tells you how
to start getting over that exerphobia so you can start doing the right exercises at the
right time, the right way, and also, of course, gives you a nutrition plan that will show
you how to start increasing your calories in the right way; then head to ATHLEANX.com
and get our entire ATHLEANX training system. In the meantime, if you've found this video
helpful leave your comments and thumbs up below and again, I'll be back here in just
a few days. All right, see you. All right. Flex, buddy. Go ahead.

The daily grind of pressing forward. Learning to embrace that is one of the keys to unstoppable growth. Welcome to Bold Steps, with Mark Jobe, the new president of MBI, we are pondering the fact that when you stop pressing forward in your spiritual growth, you get into the same cycle, doing the same things over and over. Which means you're not maturing. And—as Mark Jobe shares in just a moment, God isn't going to give you "magical dust" to make you spiritually mature. This is a process which you and I must engage in ourselves! We begin today's message with a close up view of Phil 3:12-21.
Mark Jobe serves as president of Moody Bible Institute and host of Moody Radio's Bold Steps. He is the author of Unstuck: Out of Your Cave into Your Call (Moody Publishers). He is also the founding pastor of New Life Community Church, a Chicago-based ministry with 27 locations throughout Chicago. Mark earned a diploma from Moody in 1984, a master's degree from Moody Theological Seminary, and a doctorate in transformational leadership from Bakke Graduate University. He and his wife, Dee, have three adult children.
Bold Steps with Dr. Mark Jobe takes you on the path to freedom and authenticity in Christ. With candid, topical teaching from God's Word, Dr. Jobe offers simple gospel messages with the power to transform your life. Drawing on decades as a Chicago-based pastor, the new president of Moody Bible Institute brings clear Bible teaching to people from all walks of life.
