I've got more Bibles than I can count, and, much to Jack T. Chick's chagrin, I've got multiple translations.
My primary Bible is a genuine leather NKJV New Geneva Study Bible. The Thinklings might recall an email exchange, circa 1999, when we discussed the purchase of Bibles and all that goes along with such an endeavor. The end result was me purchasing the Bible I use today.
I like the feel of the genuine leather in my hands (as opposed to the ubiquitous bonded leather). I like the familiarity of knowing where all of my favorite passages are, and accessing them with the flick of a wrist.
Even during the height of my rebellion, I always read scripture. The inspired word always resonated with me, convicted me, wooed me. I often think how fortunate we are that most of us can read, and that Bibles (at least in America) are cheap and universal.
I imagine I'll start looking to replace my primary Bible when it's about ten years old, and that'll be in about two years. My plan is to use a Bible for about ten years, pack it away somewhere, and then, one day, give it to one of my kids or grandchildren.
(A few words of advice, if you're looking to have a Bible that'll last for years, you'll want to buy a genuine leather Bible, not a bonded leather Bible. Something like calfskin leather might even be better. Also, the leather stays oiled by frequent use. The oils in your hand keep the leather of your Bible nice and hydrated. If you store a genuine leather Bible away, you might want to break it out every six months or so and oil it up with some sort of leather lotion.)
Sola scriptura.
I've got more Bibles than I can count, and, much to Jack T. Chick's chagrin, I've got multiple translations.

The sneakers are durable, supportive, and easy to clean. Running styles are Nike's bread and butter. From the original Air Max 1 to forward-thinking lines like the Nike Air Presto, Nike Flyknit, Nike Roshe, and everything in between, Nike has so many running shoe styles for both men and women to choose from. A pair of "Jesus Shoes" are on sale for $4,000 — and for that price, the lucky owner can literally walk on water. The shoes were designed by Brooklyn-based creative arts company MSCHF and they come with holy water in the soles. That was when Nike first planned to release its own footwear, unveiling the iconic swoosh logo for the first time. By 1976 Nike was already running national ad campaigns, and by 1980 it owned half the U.S. market share for athletic shoes.
A souped-up, speed-oriented version of the Pegasus, the Peg Turbo continues the winning combo of ZoomX and React foams found in the first version. Together they deliver exceptional shock absorption and energy return, so these shoes feel comfortable and fast. Unfortunately, the new thin mesh upper has issues. Its minimal heel support means you have to cinch the laces down for a secure fit, but the tongue isn't thick or long enough to prevent the laces from causing irritation. If you can handle a looser fit, though, you might avoid the issue.
Whether the shoes violate rules from track's governing body, World Athletics , depends on how one interprets this sentence from its rulebook: Shoes must not be constructed so as to give athletes any unfair assistance or advantage." It does not specify what such an advantage might be. The Air Zoom Pulse features a laceless upper marked by a protective PU-coated synthetic vamp while an elastic strap keeps the heel secured and open for flexible and easy one-handed entry. Branding on the shoe comes in the form of Nike Asterix logo side tabs and printed Swooshes. Elevating the shoe is a Zoom Air heel unit-assisted flexible drop-in midsole paired with a rubber outsole with a water-dispersive traction pattern.
Look for the six Doernbecher Freestyle 2019 takes on the Nike Air Zoom Pulse to release December 7 on with all profits will be donated to OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, while the debut colorway of the Air Zoom Pulse will hit and select retailers sometime in December. Nike created a sneaker that was designed with the needs of nurses, doctors, and home health providers in mind. Nike shoes for boys – Bringing out the young athlete in your little child is our collection of Nike shoes for boys. They are designed for everyday wear as well as for specific needs of sports. Our Nike shoes' price range for basketball, football, running and other sports varieties is quite affordable. The uniquely engineered shoes which are great on and off the field, will make active little boys stand tall and smart at school.
Featuring a full Air Zoom Unit under the foot for the first time in tennis, these shoes offer a smooth heel-to-toe transition that allows players to use their natural momentum to explode into sprints. Buy the very best in men's trainers from the world's leading sportswear brand. Our latest Nike range of mens trainers are suitable for all occasions, whether you need them for working out or just relaxing at home. For everyday wear browse our Tanjun, Court Royale or Air Max range. While for the runners and fitness fanatics choose from Flex, Zoom Winflo or Downshifter running shoes. Available in a variety of colours, sizes and prices you're bound to find the right trainers.

Xiapu & Xitang water town
Join Thierry Bornier and discover a quaint and photogenic fishing village in Xiapu and the water of Xitang ( close to shanghai )
October 19-26, 2019
8-Days -7 Nights Photograph Workshop: Xiapu & Xitang
Small Group – min. 4 people, max. 6 people
USD4,350.00 based single room
Day1 – October 19,2019 : Shanghai to Xiapu
This morning, we will catch a fast train to Xiapu (5.5 hrs), then transfer to the hotel for check-in.
Day 2 to Day 6 – October 20-24 ,2019 : Xiapu
Wewill be spent amidst Xiapu's quaint fishing village atmosphere. Each morning will start early to catch the village's fisherman preparing their boats and nets for the day's work while the sun rises at their backs, their silhouettes against the shining waters from different angles.
After the morning shoots, the group will return to the hotel for a full breakfast and a rest. Then, spend the rest of each day exploring Xiapu's lively fish markets, quiet, rustic corners, creaking wooden docks, and much more. Every evening, the group will have dinner together, followed by a group discussion about technique and composition with everybody's photos.
Day 7 – October 25 ,2019 : shanghai -Xitang
In the morning after breakfast we will catch a fast train back to Xitang (5.5 hrs), then a service car will bring us to our hotel, end of the afternoon we will start our shooting before our dinner.
Day 8 – April 27, 2019 : Xitang- Shanghai
Early morning, we will capture the magic sunrise in the water town, then after breakfast we will return to shanghai where our workshop will end and you will be transferred in the international Pudong airport to catch your night flight or stay one night in the airport hotel.
Xiapu (Fujian)
Xiapu, known as the most charming fishing village in China, is located in the northeast of Fujian province. The village's surrounding hills provide great vantage points from which to compose stunning photographs. With your camera, recreate the scenes of traditional Chinese ink paintings, of the sun rising or setting, of fishing boats coming in and out, throwing and pulling nets behind them, and of massive nets strung between tall bamboo poles, hung with the day's prizes.
After the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, Xiapu is Thierry's second favorite location to shoot in China. The waters' easy currents and sunny weather make the village's mudflats rich in kelp, laver, oyster and yellow croakers. So, the village is not only a prime location to photograph fisherman at work, but also a great place to taste their fresh catches. Xiapu also has a bit of variety for photographers—low-lying beaches with stunning sunrise, working fishermen communities and a picturesque old banyan tree forest, just to mention some.
Xitang Water Town (Nearby shanghai)
Xitang Water Town is a beautiful town that seems like a completely different world from the hustle and bustle of nearby Shanghai
. Cobbled streets, old buildings, bridges arching over canals, rowing boats lingering on the river, and locals singing folk songs are the features of Xitang, a charming, ancient water town. Mornings in Xitang bring fresh air and light fog; during the evening, the setting sun casts a rosy glow on the old tiled roofs.

Indian coffee is set to record the highest production in 2015-2016 thanks to adequate rainfall in the coffee growing areas and timely blossoming of the coffee bushes. The production is estimated to reach 3,55,600 tonnes as against 3,27,000 tonnes in 2014-2015. Given that, 70% of what is produced is exported, India emerges as the third largest producer and exporter of coffee from Asia. Coffee consumption in India is growing at the rate of 6% annually. The year 2014 saw 115.02 million Kgs of coffee consumed in India alone. This translates to about 16.6 cups on an annual per capita basis. So the popular and already well-established coffee chains are gaining a lot more coffee lovers by the day, maybe even weaning away ng from the tea drinking majority of India. So, what about coffee startups? Retail coffee outlets such as Café Coffee Day and Barista Lavazza didn't start out yesterday. In fact, it took them the best part of 20 and 16 years respectively to acquire a huge coffee fan base in India. With such leaders, it was only a matter of time before other entrepreneurs took the plunge to join the coffee bandwagon.
Coffee Startups Bringing Coffee to Your Doorstep!
Coffee startups have revamped the coffee consumption quotient in India, be it the traditional cafés and lounges or E-commerce.
Coffee lovers will swear by the "kick" a perfect cup of coffee brings. The so-called gourmet coffee is in fact, an attempt to provide the best quality coffee to the consummate coffee drinkers. Keeping in mind the need for high-quality specialty coffee, several young entrepreneurs and self-professed coffee aficionados have set up shop for their caffeine-yearning brethren.
Here are the top three coffee startups in India that have changed the caffeine landscape in the country.
Blue Tokai: We Love Indian Coffee Farmers
Matt Chitharanjan and Namrata Asthana, a Chennai-based couple, started Blue Tokai as a coffee roasting hobby. This coffee startup intends to revolutionize India's vast coffee plantations into a coffee connoisseur's preferred source for quality coffee beans. True to Blue Tokai's official tagline "We love Indian Coffee Farmers", this startup has been able to build a win-win relationship with several small-scale coffee growers starting with Nachammai Estate in 2014. So why the name "Tokai"? "Tokai" is the ancient Malabar term for a peacock's tail.
The venture started on a small scale. The promoter Matt Chitharanjan, a coffee hobbyist, decided to gauge the demand for roasted coffee and invested in a small portable roaster and tested it hands-on. After getting encouraging results from their initial trail, Blue Tokai has now partnered with retailers across India. Blue Tokai's in-house team members are driven by a passion for seeing coffee lovers getting for knowing the source of their coffee beans, the growers.
The Flying Squirrel
The Flying Squirrel started with a vision to promote quality Indian coffee. Ashish Dabreo, the founder of The Flying Squirrel, targets uncompromising coffee drinkers of India. On receiving orders through their online store, the company dispatches freshly roasted coffee.
At present, they offer six coffee varieties. Each of these varieties are distinct from the other in the manner in which they were roasted, which gives the drinker a unique aroma and flavor.
The Flying Squirrel has their coffee plantations at Coorg, Karnataka. It took them two years to understand the market and develop their product line-up and it was only in 2013 that they shipped their first batch of coffee.
The Indian Bean
Theindianbean.com is an online platform that assures coffee lovers sip in the elemental flavors and tasting notes of the brew. The founder Kunal Ross, believes that India has the potential to grow one of the best varieties of coffee. Since 70% of the coffee produced in the country is exported, the domestic consumer is left to contend with the "dregs". After a tie-up with coffee farmers from Kodaikanal and Coorg to supply him single plantation beans, Kunal sent out his first batch of coffee in November 2012.
Each order is processed individually one at a time to ensure that consumers have a premium coffee experience. With an excellent rapport with the farmers, Kunal and his team look forward to making his presence felt in the Indian coffee market.
What Next in This Growing Coffee Surge?
According to Rita Teaotia, Chief Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Industries,
We have already requested the Chairman of the Coffee Board to focus their efforts in identifying some coffee startups who might need hand-holding. We want to make everything accessible to them. The aim is to channelize these start-ups towards the kind of policies that have already been announced and enable them to access all the benefits. We have asked the Coffee Board to make this a regular activity. Source
At present, Zizira's food lab is excited and working on learning the best procedure for processing coffee in-house! We are learning and improving roasting methods so as to produce high-quality coffee which is sourced from the pristine hills of Meghalaya. In the process, we might convert a few members of the tea-loving regime to coffee connoisseurs?
We hope to put high-quality coffee on Zizira's store shelves soon! Be the first one to know. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter now!

Season 7 U.K. Premiere Date!June 9, 2015 at 3:43 am | Posted in Airings and Dubs, Nickelodeon | Leave a comment
In our second bit of news for today, it appears that season 7 will be premiering in the U.K. in around a month!
NickOnAir (a blog dedicated to Nickelodeon news) reports that Winx Club Season 7 will premiere in the U.K. on the 4th of July and air every Saturday. The episodes will be repeated on Sunday at 7AM and 7:30AM (twice in one row, which is weird, but not surprising since every Winx Club episode lasts around 25 minutes).
A little confusing, but the schedule provided by that website appears to state that the first two episodes will air on the same day; that's July 4th.
I'll update this post as soon as I have any additional information to clarify the air dates. Remember to fly to your TV sets in July, U.K. Winx fans! 😀

My Blog
... a blog to make sense of the world through writing and acts of creativity, to reflect on and respond to the crazy world in which we live. Can beauty, creativity, compassion, and activism emerge from this tension?
I just read Austin Kleon's list of 100 things that made his year and thought that I could do that, but on a smaller scale. Let's see, using my photos to jog my memory, and without much explanation:
1. The Women's March.
2. Sunsets
3. Butterflies
4. Books: 1984, Handmaid's Tale, and many more. Not many newly published ones.
5. Teaching my playwriting class for the first time.
6. Making Almond Joy cookies several times to great acclaim.
Diane Aoki is a writer who explores other modes of creativity as her intuition leads her.

12 Jul Ask the judges…
We gave our followers the opportunity to put their start-up investment questions to our panel of judges. Thanks to all of those who took part. Here's our response to the six most frequently asked questions – we hope this helps.
What was the most important criteria for choosing your previous winners?
The cliched answer here is the team – and indeed we do need confidence that the team will have the smarts, the energy, the tenacity, the ability to prioritise and the compelling communication skills needed to build a business. Then it's a big bonus if they have either experience in the market they are targeting or previous experience building a business.
Where we are a little different is that we put more weighting on the attractiveness of the market a business is wanting to compete in than we do their proposition or their business model. We are very influenced by new insight that points to an untapped need. We need to see that there is room in the market for something new, and that with effective marketing and communication the consumers in that market will adapt their behaviour – either shifting consumption from a competitor proposition or creating a whole new sub-category. We know that the proposition idea and how to make money from it can and will evolve and iterate over time, but it is unusual for a start-up to be able to completely shift out of the market they are in and into another.
What common mistakes do you see from start-ups in unsuccessful seed funding applications?
Our biggest bugbear is the templated business plan. It can be useful to use a template to guide you through the scope of what you need to consider when setting up a business. But that is not the same as what an investor needs to see. It is also an example of a second frustration, when a business does not put an effort into illustrating their brand, tone of voice and ability to communicate. If you cannot excite us with your materials how can we be expected to have confidence in your ability to motivate potential customers.
A business shouldn't spend more space extolling the virtues of their product or service than helping us understand whether a customer would care (and therefore spend money). It's a generalisation – but we see a lot of new tech that are lovely looking solutions that are desperately in search of a problem to solve.
One of the hardest jobs for an investor is to see the difference between a 'lifestyle' business and a business with real ambition. A 'lifestyle' business might be successful and throw off a good living for the entrepreneur. But not scale to the point of exit or delivering good dividends for an investor – therefore a highly unattractive investment. So, any applicant needs to illustrate they have real ambition for the business, with the plan, tenacity and drive to build the business and the intent to exit.
How do I know if my business is at the right stage for seed funding?
In simple terms – you need more cash to grow than the business is throwing off from day to day operations or that anyone will lend the business. It's when funding (and the advice that can come with it) means you can grow the business more quickly, to a higher level and grab market share before others do. So, although you've given away a piece of the pie, the pie ends up much larger. Some slightly more specific examples:
- you have a formula ('business model') that makes money – for example, your cost of acquiring new customers is much less than the lifetime value of those customers, so you know you will profit from each new customer. This means any cash invested in marketing is going to generate a return. If you are keeping a share of that return, as well as giving some to the investor, then you are making more than you would have without funding.
- you have a product or service that only becomes valuable at scale – for example a soft drink that is competing against some globally strong brands with distribution in all shops and bars. In this case you need to be large to have production economies and therefore be able to charge a competitive price, and you need wide distribution to get a return from investing in advertising. Therefore, investment is needed to get to this scale.
What is a normal amount of equity to give away in exchange for seed funding & why does the start-up series require my business to give away a 7% share option to Worth Capital?
There is no 'normal' amount of equity. The value of a business, and therefore the equity given away, is dependent on the potential market, the experience & credibility of the founders and the stage the business is at. Ultimately the value of a business is as much as investors are willing to pay for it. Some businesses are no more than an idea, with no proof points, intellectual property or assets. Therefore an investor would only be attracted at a low valuation that gives them a decent amount of equity because they are taking a very high risk. Other businesses may have a product or service in market, some good revenue that shows a customer demand and may even be making some margin. Or they might have something else valuable like a patent or a founder with deep experience of a market or a record in building and selling businesses. There may even be competition between investors to get a piece of the action. All these mean the value an investor will put on the business will be much higher. A sensible and experienced investor will always want to leave the founders of a business well motivated, there is no value in an entrepreneur that feels resentment that they could have got a better deal elsewhere.
The share option is the is the reward for Worth Capital – for finding the businesses, raising funds, matching the two together and helping the businesses grow. Anyone involved in the investment scene has an incentive – sometimes called 'carry'. We made ours very explicit and aligned – we do well when our investors and the businesses we invest in do well.
What support will my small business receive in exchange for equity?
One of the co-founders of Worth Capital (Paul or Matthew) would become a Director of the business for at least two years. Between us we have set-up businesses, built up brands, invented new products and experiences, worked with very large businesses and very small high growth businesses, know how to retail and how to create new consumer behaviours. Along with plenty of battle scars and learning from when things haven't gone smoothly. We bring all this experience to help the businesses we invest in. At a minimum we demand bi-monthly board meetings. But more importantly will be on hand to help between the meetings – either on the phone or face to face. We find this goes in waves. Often, we do more at the start of an investment, for example, honing the proposition, building strategy, deciding priorities, creating the marketing plan. Then there is a period of intense execution where we are on hand to help solve problems but let the entrepreneurs get on with it. Usually our input increases when more funding is required and we can help create the investor story and find the funding.
Is your competition open to all countries?
The winner of the competition will only be a business that meets the criteria for a Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) investment, where the UK government gives investors tax reliefs to mitigate some of the risk of investing in early stage businesses. That means it has to be a UK business. There are also some other criteria to qualify for SEIS, broadly that the business has been trading for less than 2 years, has less than £200,000 worth of assets, less than 25 employees and is going to be a proper trading entity, not something that is just set up predominantly to benefit from buying assets (such as property).

Reaching the very poor: The need for a new microfinance model
Typical clients of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are the owners of established enterprises, who want to borrow to increase business turnover. They are mainly found in urban areas, where lending is profitable.
But MFIs that target the rural poor are challenged by a limited demand for credit and high delivery costs. As a result it is hard to service this market without subsidy or exploitative interest rates and MFIs either tend to on urban and peri-urban markets or offer rigid and often draconian tterms
There is also a gap between the financial products that MFIs prefer to offer and those that are needed by the very poor. While MFIs stress credit, it is savings that improve household cash-flow management and are a better fit for this clientele, which prefers to minimise risk by limiting its exposure to debt.
The assumption that the poor want business credit more than any other financial service is not true. Most loans go to managing household cash-flow and not so-called 'productive' enterprise
To reach the unbanked 2.5 billion adults worldwide, a new model was needed that operates at very low cost and offers the right products: Savings Groups (SGs) meet these criteria. Initiated by Moira Eknes in CARE's Matu Masa Dubara (Women on the Move) project in Niger in 1991 variations of this methodology reach more than 20 million people worldwide, with about 2/3 using the VSLA model.
The Village Savings and Loan Model
The Village Savings and Loan (VSL) model creates self-managed and self-capitalised savings groups that use their savings to lend to each other. VSLAs are comprised of between 10 and 30 members and offers self-managed savings, insurance and credit services in urban slums and remote rural areas.. The model has spread to at least 75 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, with over 20 million active participants worldwide. We also know that spontaneous replication is taking place without the intervention of a facilitating agency, sometimes more than tripling the number of groups. Thus, the number of members is likely to be much greater than the 17 million cited in July 2019
Key facts:
- Women comprise 78% of the membership
- Repayment rates are the highest in the microfinance industry;
- 89% of groups continue to operate more than five years after receiving training, on average doubling their capitalisation and average loan sizes
- At any one time the average group has 63% of members with loans outstanding
- At any one time 74% of the available funds are in circulation as loans
- The average annualised return on assets is 18%
- The cost per member averages $22.2 (and as little as $8).
- 98% of members continue from one annual cycle to the next
VSLAs have altered the development equation in marginalised communities worldwide, providing members with the means to cope with emergencies, build capital and re-build social interdependence and trust.
The microfinance industry has come to accept the place of VSLAs as an important part of the financial landscape as among the most dynamic methodologies that bring entry-level financial services to the rural poor, in their own communities, and managed by themselves, retaining capital in the community that wouold otherwise be shipped off to urban areas or remain too dispersed to be useful.

Keeping your Wood Bat in "Tip Top Shape"
Rule #1 Never hit "Dimple" rubber balls. They have give and weight that creates extra stress on the bat.
Rule #2 Never expose to extreme temperatures. There is a predetermined % of moisture in the wood that is sealed in upon manufacturing. It can freeze and crystallize in freezing temperatures compromising the wood. So don't leave in your car or outside.
Rule #3 In Dry Desert areas the bat can lose moisture and cause the wood to become dry and brittle through unprotected areas such as scratches etc...Again don't leave your bats in your car or outside exposed to extreme heat or dry conditions.
Rule #4 As your bat gets scratches and the wood is exposed it will pick up or lose moisture through those openings. Your bat can gain or lose weight ultimately weakening the bat. So use a light spray of poly or clear enamel to keep the elements out.
Taking good care of your bat will result in less breakage and saving you $.$$! Let's don't forget performance of the bat either!

As I was riding the MTA, I noticed a rare occurrence that took place. I'm on the Q train in the middle of Manhattan, during rush hour, and no one's sitting near me. Do you know how rare it is to have seats on the train during rush hour? This reminded me of the idea of Xenophobia that we learned in class. Xenophobia is the fear of others, people who are unfamiliar and potentially dangerous. When you're commuting alone on the subway, you really don't know who you're standing or sitting next to. The person next to you could be a criminal and you wouldn't even know. No one thinks about this, but when the thought is presented, it makes people realize the dangers of strangers. I noticed that everyone's on their phones while on the train to avoid human connection. Everyone's in their own little world, trying to mind their own business because they don't want interact with other people. The only time they're conscious about their safety is when a panhandler comes into the cart. #StayWoke #LastMinuteExtraCredit
