The Details
Please send across all articles as Word Documents if possible, with single spacing.
- Single page – Roughly 500 words

Three in four Palestinian children detained by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank last year endured physical violence during arrest and interrogation.
Data compiled by DCI-Palestine from 98 affidavits of Palestinian children aged 12 – 17 also showed that night arrests between midnight and 5 am increased to 56.1 percent from 45.4 percent in 2012. In 21.4 percent of cases, Israeli military, police and security agents held children in solitary confinement for an average of 10 days for interrogation purposes, according to Defense for Children International Palestine research.
"Despite international condemnation and awareness of Israel's widespread and systematic ill-treatment of Palestinian child prisoners, there have been no practical steps taken to curb violations," said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program director at DCI-Palestine. "The international community must demand justice and accountability."
Israel is the only state to automatically and systematically prosecute children in military courts that lack basic standards of due process. Around 500 – 700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12, are arrested, detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military detention system each year. The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones. No Israeli children come into contact with the military court system.

In the final pre-season fixture before the League Cup takes off at home to Rangers, Mark McGhee's men lost 4-1 away to Hibs.
Tait, Heneghan, McHugh and Blyth all featured in the starting eleven together for the first time since they penned deals with the Fir Parkers.
Scott McDonald got involed early on, when he collected the ball outside of the area but was dragged to the deck.
And what a start to the game it was. From the resulting free-kick Marvin Johnson curled his strike over the wall and it crashed off the crossbar leaving the Hibs trialist goalkeeper no chance.
But the lead didn't last long as Hibs struck back instantly, with Martin Boyle tapping in from close range.
In an exciting opening 6 minutes, the Steelmen almost took the lead again, but Lasley's cross was struck over the bar from a corner.
The game settled down just before the tenth minute, with Hibs keeping the ball in their own half, unable to cross the half-way line with the intense pressing of Mark McGhee's team.
Some neat defending from the 'Well kept Hibs from taking the lead, and on the break, McManus sprayed a lovely ball out wide which was collected expertly by Tait, but his dangerous, curling cross from deep was a few yards ahead of Blyth and it ran out for a goal-kick.
In the 18th minute, Hibs took the lead after Jason Cummings evaded the off-side trap to square the ball into the path of Holt, who finished past Samson.
Motherwell looked hungry to bounce back though and won a corner in the 20th minute – McManus' flicked header resulted in a brilliant finger-tip save from Hibs trialist stopper.
Four minutes later, Hibs double their advantage, after a whipped cross was headed into the top corner by John McGinn.
A dangerous ball across goal from Boyle was picked up by Fyvie, whose effort never looked to trouble Samson and went wide of the mark.
Some strong hold-up play from Blyth allowed the centre-forwar to work a yard of space and fire a low-strike at goal, but the trialist made a good save.
Motherwell maintained the pressure by winning a couple of corners, but Hibs scrambled clear to keep the score at 3-1 going into the final ten minutes of the half.
A brilliant challenge from Ben Heneghan denied Jason Cummings what could've been an easy tap in for the striker.
Some clever footwork from Scott McDonald in the box looked certain to lead to a goal for the Steelmen, but a good block denied the Aussie from silencing the home support.
But it remained 3-1 to the Scottish cup winners going in to the half-time break, a score that didn't reflect the good play from the Fir Parkers.
'Well boss Mark McGhee didn't make any changes at the break, but Hibs brought on Dylan McGeouch for Marvin Bartley.
At the start of the second-half, a good save from Samson denied Hibs their fourth. In a blow, Jacob Blyth made way for Ainsworth after getting a bloodied nose from a corner in the 51st minute.
Cummings the took the ball down six yards from goal, but his strike on goal flew over the bar and out for a goal-kick.
Marvin Johnson looked to have injured himself after a mazy run led to a corner for the 'Well, and McGhee took no chances, withdrawing the goal-scorer and replacing him with Allan Campbell after 60 minutes.
Hibs made a change on the hour too; Cummings and Trialist goalkeeper made way for Keatings and Virtanen.
Hibs did eventually make it four after a loose pass was picked up by Keatings, who curled a low shot in off the post in the 63rd minute.
Dan Carmichael replaced John McGinn shortly after the 70th minute for the home side, and shortly after that Danny Handling came on for Grant Holt.
Samson was called in to action again, but the stopper got a strong hand on Boyle's effort, and Ben Heneghan cleared for the Fir Parkers.
A trio of changes arrived in the shape of Thomas, Moore and Trialist, who came on to replace McDonald, Lasley and Cadden with ten minutes left
There were few chances left in the match as Hibernian saw it out for the win.
Motherwell: Samson; Tait, Hammell, Heneghan, McManus; McHugh, Lasley (Thomas '80); Johnson (Campbell '60), McDonald (Moore '80), Cadden (Trialist '80); Blyth (Ainsworth '51)

A Parish Reformed According to Vatican II

Researcher from UC Santa Cruz's Institute of Marine Sciences have been spending time with west coast elephant seals, trying to learn they how communicate. The researchers have recorded the snorts, snarls, grunts and growls that sound a bit like belches in a barrel.
They figure the huge mammals settle disputes over breeding rights and prevent fights by their language code. Their calls can reach 130 decibels, as loud as a jackhammer as pointed out by Nadia Drake of the San Jose Mercury News. Each male has a unique sound or call. Drake reports the UC Santa Cruz researchers believe much of the language is used to settle disputes before coming to bloody and brutal battle.
There is a large colony of elephant seals on the central coast, just a few miles north of Cambria. Visitors from around the globe trek to the viewing area to watch the massive and blubbery beach dwellers, who are often comical. They wallow, snort at each other, mate, give birth and simply nap, flipping sand with fins that are uncannily like human hands.
Here you can see a few pups, newly born elephant seals. They get about six weeks of attention and nursing from their mother, then they are on their own. The mother's interest turns to mating, and once that is done, she swims off to feeding grounds in the north Pacific. The pup then becomes a "weaner" as they are called and has to learn to swim on his or her own. When nature dictates, they swim off singularly to either the male or female feeding grounds. Those who survive, come back to the same beach, year after year, to molt, mate and mostly nap and snore.
See you down the trail.

Like a vinyl record with a stuck needle, we sometimes find ourselves in a spiritual rut, repeating the same old tired refrain. Today, from the Twenty-third Psalm, Ron Moore shares God's solution to get you off "stuck." Its insight will jolt you into a fresh path of righteousness.

It's a visual masterpiece painted with words by dirt-stained hands and an awe-struck heart. It's easily the greatest of King David's art, featuring a confident passion that resonates deep within the human soul. And today, Ron Moore begins an intimate look at that masterpiece…the Twenty-third Psalm.

"You know you make me want to shout," that joyful refrain from the Isley Brother's tune "Shout," is a faint echo from an earlier time.

"Virtualization has revolutionized IT."
It's a familiar refrain, and you're hard-pressed to find an IT professional that disagrees with the idea that 10 to 20 years from now, all data centers will be virtual. Virtualization offers unprecedented benefits for the server side — from better resource use to greater reliability and flexibility. It's a foregone conclusion that virtualization rates will increase in the coming months and years.
But on the storage side, until recently, virtualization often increased cost and complexity. As my colleague Ed Lee noted in our blog last week, virtualization poses a serious challenge for old-style network storage—systems whose architecture was laid down before virtualization was even a consideration. This was the initial catalyst that led Kieran and I to found Tintri and develop a purpose-built storage appliance designed specifically for virtual machines.
Until recently, data centers were a collection of hardware devices. IT professionals focused on how the hardware interconnected, and developed a myriad of techniques to manage it: rack location, IP addresses, etc. Enterprise storage management evolved to support direct connectivity, serving all types of non-transient workloads.
Virtual environments pose a new challenge: Where a VM "lives" can change daily. This has meant a shift from dedicated, manually provisioned storage to a shared, flexible model. Several noteworthy data-center trends have followed-on:
The virtualization layer has become the new global namespace. The high demand for flexible, virtualized storage means fundamental change on the storage side. Just as network computing did more than 25 years ago, virtualization is revolutionizing the data center, accelerating efficiency and output. Aligning the storage layer with the virtualization layer—from the ground up—brings the same efficiency to storage that we've grown accustomed to from servers.
We built Tintri VMstore™ based on these principles. For a more detailed look, learn more by reading this white paper, where Ed and I describe our approach.
Unique control with VM-level actions for infrastructure functions including snapshots, replication and QoS make protection and performance certain in production, and accelerate test and development cycles.

Several years ago I found a B2B sales model that looked at different buying scenarios and how to approach the sale in these situations.
I was reminded of it the other day, as the model is also applicable to marketing and sales strategy, positioning, messaging in content marketing, and indeed many aspects of the B2B sales funnel.
You may gain insight from this model to help you assess your proposition and your prospects perception of their requirements. You may then be able to re-frame the requirements in ways that are more favourable to you, and increase your value in the eyes of your prospect.
Four Buying Scenarios
The axis of the model is essentially about whether the buyer or seller can or can't see the problem and solution.
Whether you are a vendor or a buyer, by making a more accurate assessment of your situation and the situation of the other party you can increase the likelihood of a win:win – with a better quality solution and relationship, and save time and money.
Alternatively, if you start off on the wrong footing in your marketing and sales, or in the buying process, or if the position changes during the course of the sales or buying process, it can lead to unfortunate consequences.
Vendor perspective
For the vendor it could lead to the loss of the sale, (if a competitor engineers the situation to their advantage), or loss of profit if you win the business on the wrong basis.
Two big implications of these buying scenarios for vendors and their marketing and sales are:
- on your market positioning, content marketing and lead nurture
- on your qualification process, either as a fact-find or lead-scoring
Recognising these buying scenarios, and agreeing the 'ideal' sales lead criteria between marketing and sales based on this will help to increase lead conversion, sales revenue and profitability.
Buyer perspective
For the buyer it could lead to having a short-list of vendors with the wrong capabilities, or selecting a supplier without strengths in key areas that would make a project successful, or with a commercial arrangement that is unsustainable.
Two big implications for buyers and their approach to procurement are:
- do the work internally to determine what the scope and requirements are
- be conscious of what skills potential providers bring, and the value of those skills
Involving an external party to assist with requirements assessment, prioritisation etc. could be money well spent at the end of the project, equivalent to using an architect or an engineer to help with equivalent projects.
To illustrate the four different buying scenarios below I'll refer to a website design and build project.
Four Buying Scenarios based on buyer & seller viewpoint
1. Both Seller and Buyer can see the need and solution
This situation is fairly transactional and may exhibit characteristics of a commodity market. The buyer knows they have a need, they (think they) know what type of organisations can deliver, they can Google key phrases, give a clear brief for the requirement, and so on. The sales organisation supplies a quote or responding to a tender. The vendor has probably delivered similar solutions many times before therefore can accurately price, deliver and make a profit.
Other examples that come to mind include stationery, print, IT hardware like PCs and printers, some professional services, some marketing services, and a lot of lower cost public sector procurement. The Hosted, SaaS applications for Marketing and Sales are typically being offered on this basis. In the website design and build example it applies when there is a clear-cut case of a 'simple' new or replacement website.
Challenges for the vendor include, how to differentiate where price is often the main criteria, whether there is scope to move the requirement into another area in order to create differentiation, and conversely how to avoid the scope creeping into other areas while still being price competitive and making a profit.
2. The buyer can see the problem and solution but the vendor can't.
This situation is more project based and consultative. When the buyer has a fairly clear idea of the pain and the solution that would relieve the pain, but their specifics are fairly unique, then the vendor needs to undertake a fairly thorough fact-find, diagnostic, and explore the boundaries of what the buyer has in mind.
Marketing Campaigns and IT systems are example in this area. The marketing campaign probably needs to fit with other marketing activities, with brand guidelines, with communications and sales channels etc. The buyer knows what these are, and it's important that the seller establishes what these are, in order to come up with a creative solution and an appropriate price.
A larger and more complex website design and build project needs to take these into account as well as technology and integration with other systems that may be required to create a more integrated marketing and sales solution. This might mean integrating into back-office systems, or to an existing Sales Force Automation (SFA) or Customer Relationship management (CRM) system. Uncovering and suggesting how these needs can be met is a great way for a vendor to add value and create differentiation. Failure to uncover these requirements can seriously compromise the bid and the project, allowing another vendor to win the business, or the supplier wins the business at an unrealistic price.
3. The vendor can see the problem and solution but the buyer can't.
This is typically where new ideas, innovations, products and solutions have been developed and are being brought to market. There is a good deal of awareness raising and educating the market required in order that the vendor can develop a pipeline of opportunities. There needs to be a focus on creating a need, based on a mix of developing the sense of pain that the prospective buyer may not even be aware of, and the vision of the potential gains.
The technology sector, and particularly technology for marketing and sales area typify this, due to the innovative nature of the sector. Cloud-based applications is one such area recently, where initial awareness needed to be raised, then concerns about things like security and resilience needed to be addressed. Within 2-3 years there is a much greater market awareness and acceptance of this approach. This has paved the way for the myriad of hosted application providers and solutions that are clamouring for our attention.
Back to the website example, the addition and integration of social media, email marketing, marketing automation, and many other applications around the website content publishing capability are areas of added value to the client. Going one step further, marketing and selling these additional applications as discrete areas can establish a foothold for a subsequent website redesign and rebuild with new clients.
4. Neither the Buyer nor the Vendor can see the problem or the solution.
This scenario is typified by change management and a partnership approach. Senior management in large businesses may recognise a business issue as a starting position, and call in management consultants to help them to identify business performance issues, and corrective actions. Small and mid-sized businesses may end up in this scenario through evolution from one of the other examples.
Getting into this situation may be the underlying reason why many IT projects, especially those for Marketing and Sales systems, end up failing to meet expectations or even to be delivered at all. The complexity of integrated IT, combined with the close inter-relationship with business processes, (that may need to be improved as well as mapped onto a new application), and with people who will need training on the new system, (and who's roles may change, and who may be resistant to change for many reasons), adds a whole range of different demands onto a project.
To return to the website example, integrating a website with back-office and CRM systems, introducing sophisticated email marketing, introducing automation of lead generation campaigns, lead scoring, workflow, triggers, and so-on needs a level of understanding and indeed of updating to business processes, and also an impact on people within the organisation.
A supplier who has this range of skills may not be the first choice for an organisation who considers that what they need is 'a new website', and has budgeted accordingly. However, having selected a supplier that can 'design and build a website', if the requirements and scope increases, and the factors that create significant business benefits impact on business processes and people, there comes a point where there may be a fundamental mis-match in expectations and capabilities, in both buyer and vendor organisations.
An independent assessment of Buying Scenarios
One way for senior management of businesses to improve their marketing and sales, increase the potential benefits and align expectations and capabilities while reducing risk is to commission an independent assessment.
The value to a business owner, director or senior manager of a Review and Action Plan is that it identifies quick wins and long term strategy and benefits, along with resource requirements and risks. This enables a more informed decision to be made, before engaging potential delivery partners, or investing time in trial and error evaluation of 'free trials' of various marketing and sales applications.
There are also benefits to marketing agencies and website design and build companies of including a senior business development and systems strategy consultant on their team. This could be during the pitch and proposal stage, or having won or even started to deliver a project, and when discussing subsequent phases to grow an existing client.
Aligning your LinkedIn Activity with these scenarios
Your prospects may fall neatly into one of the four categories. In which case your LinkedIn activity can be very focused on them, their needs, and their buying process.
More likely your prospects could be in any of the situations. In which case you have a wonderful opportunity to educate them about the different elements in their research and definition of needs.
If you'd like to explore any of these ideas and develop your positioning, sales messaging and/or your LinkedIn profile(s), page and activity, then click the image below and set up a call with me, Mark Stonham.

Jay Austin wants to sell you a car, and it doesn't matter to him how he does it. He is dishonest in his business, and that's exactly how he conducts his personal life as well. He is dishonest in all of his relationships – even his wife and son know they can't trust him. However, as Jay works on restoring a classic 1958 Triumph TR3A convertible, he comes face-to-face with the reality that his life is spinning out of control because of the choices he has made and the way he has conducted himself in his business and in his relationships. He resolves to give his life and his business over to God and make God the "Boss," and begins the ride of his life! Despite the fact that selling cars at honest prices may cause him to loose his business (as it would have been a struggle even at the dishonest prices he had been selling cars), he decides that he is going to be honest in all of his dealings. He gives the business over to God and says that it is His car lot and He can do with it as He pleases. If the business goes under, then it is because God allowed it; if the business succeeds it will be because God saved it… all he desires is to finish well by honoring God with the way he conducts his business, and indeed to honor God in all of his relationships.

2019 Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete Award finalists tell what it means to be their respective school's representative. Naples
Thursday, May 23, 2019 will go down as a pretty big night for Jensen Jones.
Hours after graduating at St. John Neumann Catholic High School, Jones was named the recipient of the 30th annual Winged Foot Scholar-Athlete Award at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort.
"It's going to be a very special day in my life," Jones said, "skipping graduation photos to come here and then the unexpected win — truly. there was an amazing group of people, amazing athletes and students. It's just crazy."
Jones, who is headed to the Air Force Academy as a quarterback, will receive a $10,000 scholarship — $2,500 a year for four years.
Jones was chosen over 12 other senior finalists from Collier County high schools. They will receive a $5,000 one-time stipend.
"It's a cherry on top," Jones said of the award.
Jones didn't realize his father, Damon, who also is his football coach and athletic director at Neumann, also was a Winged Foot finalist, back in 1991 at Lely.
"As a dad you couldn't be prouder," Damon Jones said. " As a coach you couldn't be prouder. As the athletic director of the school he comes from, you couldn't be prouder."
"Everything I've tried to do is just to reach his expectations," Jensen Jones said of his father. "Hopefully I've succeeded."
Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. was be the keynote speaker. He followed two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange, a part-time Naples resident.

Graduating seniors from Collier County high schools were eligible for the award, which was created in 1990 by the Collier Athletic Club.
This year's Winged Foot finalists, in alphabetical order, were
Anthony Alvarez, Lely
Mia Gallegos, Immokalee
Teagan Havemeier, Marco Island Academy
Jensen Jones, St. John Neumann
Tobey McDonough, Gulf Coast
Logan Nikolich, Seacrest Country Day
Mo Palmer, Palmetto Ridge
Gerald Roger, Golden Gate
Jayden Rolle, Barron Collier
Jett Su, Naples
Natalie Thompson, Everglades City
Nicholas Tompkins, First Baptist Academy
Parker Weiss, Community School of Naples
Jones won the Broxson Trophy, given by the Naples Daily News to the top overall football player in the county, and also was named the Class 2A Player of the Year.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Jones led Collier County in rushing with 1,970 yards and was among the state leaders with 34 touchdowns. He also was third in the county with 1,525 passing yards and 14 touchdowns, and led Neumann to its first playoff win. He added 55 tackles at linebacker and also was the Celtics' long snapper. Jones also played baseball.
Jones easily won the Class 2A Player of the Year award, voted on by statewide media. The Celtics star had more than twice the amount of points in the voting than the second-place finisher.
Jones is just the second from St. John Neumann to win the Winged Foot. Shannon McGregor won it in 2001.
Ripken focused on sportsmanship, doing the right thing and treating people the right way. He also stressed people to measure themselves against themselves, not against one another.
Emcee Jeff Fridkin also introduced a 30-year perspective, going all the way back to inaugural winner Terry Dean of Barron Collier with basketball analyst Dick Vitale as the keynote speaker. Photos of all of the winners and keynote speakers were shown.
Winged Foot Chairman Bud Hornbeck was honored for endless contributions. To date, the Winged Foot has given out over $1 million in scholarships.
Former winners on hand were Naples High's Lynn Miller from 1995, St. John Neumann's Shannon McGregor from 2001 and Naples High's Ingrid Schumacher-Kelly from 2004.
Each candidate was required to complete an extensive application process in order to be considered by their respective schools. Each school then determined its representative.
On April 30, the Winged Foot Selection Committee met and conducted informal interviews with each candidate. The committee then made its final decision, which will not be announced until the banquet.
Paula Gomes of Gulf Coast was the 2018 recipient.
Major sponsors of the banquet include Barron Collier Jr. Foundation Inc., Iberiabank, Grant Fridkin Pearson, PA, Dr. Charles Karpas, Premier Sotheby's International Realty, The Lutgert Companies and Gallagher Lutgert Insurance.

Caring for divorcees
In this article Cath Finney Lamb outlines a dozen ways to help people stay connected to God and the church in the wake of divorce.
All of us have been touched by divorce. By the time you have reached your 20-year school reunion, there is the inevitable list of divorces within the year.
Some of us have watched parents, children or close friends undergo separation or divorce, or have been through it ourselves. Estimates based on current divorce rates suggest that 32 per cent of marriages are likely to end in divorce.
People have different opinions about what is right and wrong in situations of marriage separation. I am not addressing this issue here. Rather, I explore the matter of helping people be reconciled to God, or stay in relationship with God and His people in the aftermath of a marriage breakdown.
In the midst of situations of separation and divorce there is a unique opportunity for people to come to know Christ. The first few years after a divorce are a time of re-evaluation and reshaping of life that sets a foundation for the years ahead.
Many turn to spirituality to find strength and wisdom. Some begin to pray. Others feel urged to reconnect with childhood experiences of church in a quest to rediscover their roots as a single person.
Significantly, there can also be a search for a model of reconciliation that works, that makes sense of their experience of relationship breakdown and does not dismiss relational injury as insignificant. We Christians have this to offer. It takes our conversations with friends straight to the cross.
On the cross we find a broken relationship: one between a Creator God and each member of humanity. We find a God who offers forgiveness to all, but with whom there is no reconciliation unless we repent and "come back' to Him as our God. We find the answer for feelings of guilt or anger about injustice. We find forgiveness and the strength to forgive. We find a covenant God.
Alongside this opportunity to share Christ's love, the church faces challenges in loving their brothers and sisters well in the wake of a separation or divorce. Many church members long to be the source of spiritual and emotional encouragement and healing for their brothers and sisters in this situation, but feel inadequate in this task. They can also worry about how to best negotiate conversations with their friend about the possibility of unrepentant sin.
Christians who undergo separation generally find it is a critical time in their relationship with the church. Some feel embraced by their church. Others find that their interactions at church are so painful, it is difficult for them to stay actively involved.
Following divorce, people can carry with them for years the pain of feeling ashamed or judged by their broader church family, and grieve deeply the distance that can creep into formerly close relationships.
There are major faith challenges as well. Most rethink their belief frameworks and assumptions about the Christian walk in the light of their experiences of marriage breakdown. During this time some harden their hearts to Christ. Paradoxically, it can also be a time of rich intimacy with God and growth in Christ: walking deeply in paths of grace and knowing afresh God's love and overwhelming faithfulness.
Divorce inevitably raises pastoral issues for all those affected. As people encounter sin that has wrapped its tentacles around every aspect of life " our beliefs, relational patterns, habits and emotions " theological questions can be raised about the nature of sin and repentance, relationship breakdown and restoration, and responses to complex ethical situations.
These opportunities and challenges call us to further develop pastoral responses.
Here, we offer suggestions about helping people stay connected to God and the church in the wake of a divorce.
1. Get to know a situation and don't assume anything. In complex situations like divorce, every story is different. Some leave; others are left. Some physically separate from their partner because they want to put boundaries around unacceptable and injurious behaviour and constructively rebuild the relationship; others separate in order to finish the marriage. Some agree on where responsibility lies for the major issues between them; others disagree. Some take responsibility for their end of the relationship; others, bitterly blame their partner. Some choose to divorce; others have no choice. Some have harmonious settlements; others protracted court battles. Some have experienced physical, verbal or emotional abuse, sexual infidelity or major deceit within the relationship; others have not. Some people forgive too quickly, excusing behaviour and not allowing themselves to acknowledge the injuries they have suffered; other people struggle for years with bitterness, anger and a desire for revenge. Some reject Christ; others run to Christ for comfort and strength.
2. Stay relationally connected. Make an effort to stay connected, even when the two parties in the marriage break-up need a lot of space. Whilst close friends often provide most support, comfortable social connections with people in the broader Christian community are vital for maintaining a sense of belonging to the church. Some people find that hanging out with "happy families' can help to restore hope in the possibility of stable family relationships. Healthy, supportive friendships can help heal wounds and re-establish trust with members of the opposite sex. Where appropriate, it is important that members of the church community stay in contact with both parties to the marriage break-up.
3. Listen well and respond to immediate need. The healing process is not something you can plan or structure. Issues surface and demand attention at different points in time. Today may be a time for feeling anger about injuries received, and to forgive; tomorrow, a time to face your own failings. Immediately after separation, people often need to give attention to practical needs, such as housing, rather than relational issues. It is often most helpful to listen in a matter- of-fact way, to hear what it is like for the person, and respond to the immediate issue at hand.
4.Offer alternative perspectives respectfully. Recognise that you may not know the whole story or fully understand the relational dynamics between the two parties, even if you are close to the persons involved. Offering insights or an alternative perspective about the situation is best done with respect and in the context of long-term support.
5. Acknowledge issues of relational injury. In situations where both people are committed to keeping a covenant, couples who have separated will need to undergo a journey of forgiveness, apology, change and trust-building in order to repair and rebuild their relationship. Helping both parties know they are secure in God's love and grace can strengthen them for this task.
6. Provide teaching about divorce in the context of the gospel of salvation. Teaching about divorce needs to be set in the context of the grace and hope that we have in Christ, so that those who are listening do not mistakenly take home the message that they can never be accepted by Him.
7. Take care over sermon illustrations. When sermon illustrations use personal information without acknowledging there is permission to do so, divorcees can fear that their own private stories will not be held in confidence. Over-simplistic stories about relationship restoration can lack credibility and be misheard by divorced people as a judgement against them.
8. Avoid negative generalisations. Negative generalisations implicate all divorcees and can be alienating, but affirmation of the courage of people seeking to honour Christ in their situation is encouraging. Talking of the partner who has been left only in terms of victimhood can undermine a God-given resilience to trust God, embrace their adult responsibilities and courageously walk forward.
9. Be aware of situations that can cause distress; for example, listening to sermons on divorce; being asked to share your life story in a home group; or sitting in the pews on Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day as a single parent.
10. Find ways to meet children's needs. Children of single-parented families can feel different and find it difficult to "fit in' at church.
11. Don't automatically assume that when someone has left your church, it is an issue of faith. The primary issue may be breakdown in relationship with other church members. Some people may not be regular in attendance because anxiety or other mental health challenges arising from their experiences can affect daily functioning.
12. Help manage community conversations. The people involved need a "public story' that explains events at an appropriate level of detail. Sometimes this task is difficult because the two parties disagree about the reasons and responsibility for the marriage breakdown. People close to them may be able to help craft such a story. This task is important, because when too much personal information is released into the public arena and "assessed', the community itself becomes embroiled in the disagreement. Anger about injustice, false accusations and misunderstandings can fuel these conversations. Christian "peacemakers' do well to affirm that the God who knows all is the judge and final arbiter over the situation, and that justice for all the wrongs done was achieved on the cross.
Surely, even in divorce, comfort is found in Christ. We do not have a fairytale God who dismisses wrongs done as if they are inconsequential. We have one who died because of these wrongs. Our God knows the pain of divorce. He divorced his people, Israel because of her unfaithfulness to him but drew her back into his arms once she had repented and returned to him (Jeremiah 3:1-14). Let this encourage us to forgive.

A delicious and healthy PBJ smoothie inspired by the classic sandwich filling – peanut butter and jam (or jelly depending on where you're from). No added sugar, vegan and kid friendly.
Disclaimer: there isn't actually any jam (or jelly depending on where you're from) in this smoothie. But it is packed full of peanut butter, raspberries and banana.
What is PBJ?
PBJ stands for peanut butter and jelly.
Did you grow up with PBJ sandwiches?
Here in the UK it's not a common sandwich filling but it's definitely one that I was aware of from American films and TV while I was growing up. Although it took me ages to realise that the jelly was actually jam – I honestly thought they put the kind of jelly we used to get at kids parties in sandwiches with peanut butter. Now that would be weird. Come to think of it what do they even call jelly in the US?
PBJ as a sandwich – or more accurately toast – filling came into my life when I moved in with my husband. I soon learnt that this was his breakfast of choice – two slices of toast sandwiched together with peanut butter and raspberry jam. He got into it when travelling in the US in his early twenties and hasn't looked back since. I can't say that I have embraced it as much as he has but I do like peanut butter and I do like raspberries so I thought I'd stick them together in a smoothie and see how it turned out.
And the result? Delicious.
How does this peanut butter, raspberry and banana smoothie taste?
I think that this is a fantastic smoothie.
It has a gorgeous pink colour from the raspberries, a creaminess from the banana and a lovely hint of peanut butter. It's fast becoming my new favourite smoothie.
I love that it has natural protein in it from the peanut butter. I like to add a little flax seed for an extra health kick but this is optional if you don't have any. And you can change up the fruit to whatever you have – strawberries work well too.
I made this PBJ smoothie in my Froothie Optimum Nutri Force Extractor*. Read my review of the Nutri Force.

How to make a PBJ smoothie
It really is as simple as putting all the ingredients together in a blender and pressing go. Simple and delicious!
PBJ smoothie
- 100 g frozen raspberries or strawberries
- 1 large banana
- 50 g unsweetened peanut butter
- 250 ml milk I used oat milk
- 1 tbsp milled flaxseed optional
Place all the ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until well combined.
If you've used crunchy peanut butter you may need to blend more than once.

Clicky!Uh, yeah, they're even starting to tempt me, who vowed not to deviate from 4" scale stuff... But that? Holy ****.If Hasbro wanted to bump figure prices to $15 for the 4" line, I'd be giddy to see them go this route. Multiple scene-specific heads, hands, hyper articulated, crisp paint apps... I'd pay 50% more for figures for that kinda stuff.And these shame their 6" line, top to bottom.

Your computer is a powerful entertainment device, but if you're regularly watching movies and TV shows using it, you need the right video player. The ideal candidate would be fast, lightweight, flexible, and able to handle obscure codecs and odd file formats. This week we're looking at five of the best desktop video players, based on your nominations.
PotPlayer (Windows)
Daum PotPlayer is our current App Directory pick as the best video player for Windows, and it's clear from the nominations that a good number of you agree with us. PotPlayer is lightweight, free and plays just about every file format, codec, media container and type of file with ease. In addition to broad format support, PotPlayer also gives you a wealth of features and controls to get your video playback looking just the way you want. It includes filters for noise reduction, deinterlacing, brightness, contrast and hue. You also get audio controls and lots of skins to customise the UI.
If you don't want all of those features and settings, then PotPlayer might feel like overkill. However, that degree of power for the low price of absolutely free is very welcome. The software can remember where you left off when you stop watching a video, and if you have a naming convention for TV shows, it will even pick up the next episode when one is finished.
GOM Player (Windows)
GOM Player (Gretech Online Movie Player) is a Windows-only, free (and ad-supported) media player that has comprehensive file type and video format support. One of GOM Player's claims to fame is that if the player can't figure out how to play the video file you're trying to open, it will search for the required components to play it on its own, without you having to intervene. It's also great at playing broken media files and partial downloads. It supports a skinnable, customisable interface that lets you change the UI to suit your own needs, and it offers some other useful advanced features (such as built-in screen and audio capture and the ability to add video effects).
GOM Player's ad-supported nature has miffed some users, but many don't seem to mind. After you close a GOM Player window or exit the application, a splash screen will hit you with ads before you close it. There are ways around it (available all over the web), but as a result, some anti-malware apps have been known to flag it as a potentially unwanted program. Those of you who praised the app highlighted its keyboard and mouse shortcuts, and noted that the default app settings work really well for most users.
MPC-HC (Windows)
MPC-HC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) has been around for a long time, born out of the stalled development status of the original MPC back in 2006. MPC-HC has largely fixed the bugs and issues with the original player, and added a stack of useful features in the process. MPC-HC is Windows only, and remarkably lightweight — in fact, in many cases, you can be up and playing video with MPC-HC before other slower media players even load. MPC-HC includes key commands to eliminate screen tearing when watching video, extensive video format and codec support, and there's even a 64-bit version available. It's completely free and open-source (under the GNU GPL licence), and it's also available at a portable app.
MPC-HC isn't totally perfect — the fact that it's so lightweight means it's also lacking in some of the features that advanced users may seek out, but it can be extended with plug-ins and external packs. Its fast performance and minimal interface are great if you don't want to do a lot of tweaking.
XBMC (Windows/Mac/Linux)
XBMC is more than just a media centre application, although it's definitely our favourite one of those as the core our favourite media centre builds. It's also a highly configurable player that you can use on a desktop or laptop to get a real media centre experience. While it's obviously great on a big screen connected to an HTPC, it works just as well on your desktop connected to a large external display, or on your laptop's 15" display while you're on a train or plane.
XBMC is open source, available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and a number of other platforms. XBMC can play just about anything without worrying about file format, encoding, codecs or even subtitles — if they're in the same place as your video, XBMC can handle it for you. XBMC can also retrieve useful information from the web for you, including movie and TV show information, ratings and episode order. It also handles music and streaming video beautifully, and is ridiculously customisable thanks to its wide variety of third-party plugins.
VLC (Windows/OS X/Linux)
Ah VLC. VLC is a portable, open-source (GNU LGPL licensed), cross-platform, free media player. It earned its stripes a long time ago as one of the first "play anything" media players. It has always had a reputation for making the process painless, being fast and flexible, and packing just enough features to keep viewers happy while simultaneously giving advanced users the control they wanted over their videos and movies. It sports a number of optional third-party plugins to extend its features, and supports skins and themes. There's a build for it for just about every desktop OS and flavour of *nix you can think of, making it an excellent all-around player for any device or platform.
VLC isn't perfect: its UI has become a bit cumbersome over the years. Some of the other players in the roundup are faster and more lightweight or offer more advanced features. However, as a cross-platform choice it remains hard to beat.
The honourable mentions this week go out to three well-regarded video players:KMPlayer (Windows), MPlayerX (Mac OS X), and SMPlayer (Windows/Linux).
Have something to say about one of these players? Want to make the case for your personal favourite, even if it wasn't included in the list? Tell us (and tell us why) in the comments.

The Cyan Restaurant Limassol belongs to the Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol and overlooks the hotel's beautiful marina. The natural hues and its contemporary décor exude a feeling of tranquility that captures the essence of beachfront bliss. Dress code: Smart Casual (no shorts, no vest, no sandals)
I have dined at the Cyan Restaurant Limassol a few more times in the past and on this last visit while staying at the Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol, I had the opportunity to try both the buffet and the à la carte options. It is really a great place to have a meal and enjoy this splendid view if sitting outdoors
Buffet Choice
Great range of freshly prepared meats and vegetables with all the little side seasonings and sauces to enhance meats you could possible want
Cyan Restaurant Limassol
The buffet was varied enough to ensure all tastes are catered for but limited enough to ensure that each course offered is fresh and created on site. Food and taste seem to matter a lot here at the Cyan Restaurant Limassol
That specific day I had a late business lunch outside the premises. When I came to Cyan Restaurant Limassol I was not really hungry so I did not even bother take photos of the main courses. As I was going around the buffet I found the above dish extremely tempting. I had a bite only to check the taste and the meat was tenderly juicy and way too flavoursome
Cyan Restaurant Limassol
The above dish was what I selected and trust me everything was perfect.
A la Carte Menu
The amuse bouche from the Chef the following night
I noticed there were sufficient staff on had to serve quickly and efficiently, at the correct times, and they were a pleasure to deal with
The food was fantastic – starters & main courses all well portioned & beautifully cooked
The food appears to be freshly prepared and of the highest quality.
There's an excellent selection on the menus and very reasonable
The Cyan Restaurant Limassol ticked every single box. Everything from the decor, to the food, to the service was fantastic
Desserts were also a treat to the eye and taste buds. Everything fresh of excellent quality, nicely presented with exquisite tastes and flavours
The meals I had at the Cyan Restaurant Limassol were exceptional! At the end of the day, the flavors were so good that I have to rank it well, along with the atmosphere and the service. The Cyan Restaurant Limassol of the Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol is included in the restaurant options for Half Board / Full Board Guests during winter. Having tried the cuisine myself all these years of staying at the property, I have only positive comments to state. The Cyan Restaurant Limassol has clearly won over a great amount of local support and well deserved as food is freshly prepared and of high quality. Be sure to try it!

GM strike, Day 2: Nearly 50,000 workers off the job in 19 states
GM won't pay for employee health care, but the UAW strike fund will pick up the tab
Who pays for the health care insurance for the striking workers?
Effective Tuesday, GM employees on strike were no longer covered under the company's plan. Instead, they will be eligible to sign up for medical assistance or COBRA from the United Autoworkers Union. The change doesn't represent a loss in health care, just a transition of coverage.
In a statement GM said: "We understand strikes are difficult and disruptive to families. While on strike, hourly employees will be eligible for COBRA so their health care benefits can continue."
In a letter to the UAW obtained by CNN Business, Scott Sandefur, a vice president at GM, confirmed the company will no longer be paying for employees' coverage. "Our employees should be eligible for COBRA paid for by the UAW fund so that their health care benefits continue. As a result, we believe that our employees, and your members will not suffer any loss of health care coverage," Sandefur wrote.
The UAW initially told its members on Monday that their company coverage would continue until the end of the month. But union VP Terry Dittes said that indeed members will need to sign up for medical assistance or COBRA. The UAW has activated its strike fund to pick up the cost.
GM employee: Strike is a 'battle for the middle class'
CNN's Ryan Young is outside of a GM plant in Flint, Michigan where several workers are picketing.
He talked to some workers who said they plan to stand outside of the factory for their entire shift to "make sure their GM bosses understand how hard they are fighting for this."
One employee told Young the strike is a "battle for the middle class."
Watch Young's full report below from HLN:
Scenes from the picket lines: GM workers in Kentucky are striking for a second day
Striking workers showed up Tuesday morning outside of a GM factory in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The factory employs around 1,000 and manufactures the Corvette Stingray, according to GM's website.
GM worker tells CNN he's ready for a long strike
Ray Carter-Wilson, a single father striking at a Detroit-area plant, said surviving with a limited income during the strike is "very difficult." But he's ready for it last a while.
"I understand the difficulty of the negotiations and the importance of them," he told CNN "New Day" anchor Alisyn Camerota. "This being a lengthy strike ... I'm fine with it as long as everything gets ironed out and is fair for everyone."
GM worker says strike is 'mind blowing'
Shawnte McMichael, a striking GM worker at a Detroit-area plant, said the strike was "mind blowing" because she didn't think it would happen.
"It's very scary," McMichael told CNN "New Day" anchor Alisyn Camerota. "I'm fearful and I want it to end very soon."
She said she wants the UAW and GM to agree on "something fair."
UAW wants GM to shift jobs from Mexico to the United States
The autoworkers union has asked General Motors to shift jobs and manufacturing from Mexico to the United States. GM would not budge on that point, according to a UAW source close to the negotiations.
A GM spokesperson, who asked not to be identified, confirmed that the UAW asked about moving jobs currently held in Mexico to the United States. But the spokesperson said GM understood the UAW's request to mean autoworkers wanted the company to create more jobs in the United States.
GM has pledged to create more than 5,400 new jobs and invest $7 billion in the United States as part of its offer to the UAW.
GM strike goes into its second day. Negotiations will resume this morning
Negotiators from General Motors and the United Auto Workers union are due back at the negotiating table Tuesday as Day 2 of the strike by nearly 50,000 workers gets underway.
The talks wrapped up around 9 p.m. on Monday, according to a person familiar with the talks. Typically, negotiators will work late into the night if they are close to an agreement.
GM said it is ready to engage in round-the-clock talks. Union officials repeatedly said Monday that despite some progress the two sides remain far apart on key issues of wages, profit sharing, health insurance, job security and GM's reliance on about 3,000 temporary hourly workers. The union wants those workers to have permanent and better paying jobs. The union also wants vehicles built in Mexico shifted to US plants now slated for closure.
The strike is costing GM about $50 million a day in lost revenue, according to an estimate from Credit Suisse. Those losses could be partly offset because the company won't be paying the striking workers.
UAW union members' health insurance will continue through the end of the month
CNN Business has obtained a letter from Terry Dittes, vice president of UAW, telling union members that during the strike their health insurance will continue through the end of September— paid for by GM.
"To allay any concerns that our Members may have regarding an interruption in health care coverage, I am writing to confirm that the Company will continue health care benefits through the end of the month for all UAW-represented employees as provided for in the contracts," Dittes wrote.
UAW/GM negotiations to continue through Monday night
A source close to the UAW/GM negotiations tells CNN Business that discussions will continue through Monday night.
