Apple have come a long way from their humble beginnings, and are now arguably the most popular gadget giant on the planet. Since the release of the very first iPhone in 2007, they've upped their game and incorporated cutting-edge technology into each new iteration. A decade later, in 2017, the iPhone 8 has been announced, along with some other exciting products - including the super exclusive iPhone X. Here's a run-down of what's been announced, the release dates, and how much you can expect to spend on the new designs.
iPhone 8
The iPhone 8 follows the current iPhone 7 and is set to be extremely popular, as every previous release has shown. Available in both 64GB and 256GB options, you get the choice of size based on your needs and wants. This new iPhone retains the classic look of the iPhone 7, with a home button in the usual place, yet appears sleeker due to the glass casing on the back.
Naturally available in the classic Apple black and silver, the iPhone 8 is also available in a subtle gold colour which should please those who like something a little different. Of course, you're likely to cover the phone up with a protective case, so keep this in mind if your favoured finish has sold out when you're ready to buy.
This new iPhone 8 has 2 gigs of RAM and runs the latest A11 Bionic processor. Video can be shot in 4K, and the phone is completely water resistant. The thing that's getting people most excited however, is the fact that the iPhone 8 can be charged wirelessly, which means you need only lay it down on a charging pad to top up the battery. The future of this new technology is already evident, as you can buy furniture from places such as IKEA with charging pads already built in.
Release date: 22nd September 2017
Price: starting at £699
iPhone 8 Plus
The iPhone 8 Plus is the larger version of the iPhone 8, giving you more screen and space through which you can conduct your business, social life and hobbies. The iPhone 8 Plus has all the features and benefits described above in the iPhone 8, but it has additional perks on top of being a larger version. The 8 Plus has two cameras on the back and two new sensors which are able to build more in-depth images – particularly with portrait photos. This can allow the user to artificially alter the lighting of the images in a very detailed way, giving those with a passion for photography something fun to play with.
Release date: 22nd September 2017
Price: starting at £799
iPhone X
The release of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus was an expected announcement from Apple, but it seems they have been busy, as they made a surprise announcement about a third iPhone model. The iPhone X is a brand new, super futuristic smartphone which really shows off the new tech that Apple have been working on. It's safe to say that this is likely to be a hugely popular model and is bound to sell out, so be prepared to queue outside your local Apple store for a long time if you want to get your hands on one!
The iPhone X has no home button, and the screen fills the whole front of the phone. The device is unlocked not by number code or fingerprint, but with facial recognition technology, meaning you'll need to hold your phone up to your face and look at it before it will let you in. The technology has been stringently tested for safety, and it cannot be unlocked using a mask, image or 3D printed version of the owner's face. The owner also has to be looking at it and 'engaging' with the phone, so it cannot be used while the owner is asleep. It will still recognise you if you grow a beard, or if you're in the dark due to the whopping seven cutting-edge sensors and a high quality front-facing camera.
However, if you happen to be an identical twin, Apple does recommend setting an additional passcode.
The screen on the iPhone X incorporates OLED technology. This is superior to the standard LED screens we know so well as it is able to deal with black more effectively. LED screens still need to project black onto a pixel, whereas OLED is able to turn individual pixels off to create a deeper, sharper black within image or text. If you enjoy reading on your phone or if you look at it a lot for emails, catching up on news etc. then this will make words and images much easier to take in.
Release date: 3rd November 2017
Price: £999 - £1149 depending on model
Apple Watch Series 3
The new Apple Watch Series 3 is a must for those who love 'future' technology, as a version is available which allows you to make phone calls and send messages via the watch itself. You can add the watch to your current phone plan and use your usual mobile number, giving you more options when needing to communicate on the go.
You can also stream audio to the watch and use with wireless earbuds. This will surely be a hit with joggers and those who like to stay connected while they work out, as well as with those who are very busy.
Release date: 22nd September 2017
Price: £329 without cellular connection, £399 with cellular connection
Apple TV 4K
Finally, Apple announced their new generation of streaming set-top box, the Apple TV 4K. It's twice as fast as the current model, and supports Netflix in 4K Ultra-HD, and will soon be able to integrate Amazon Video as well. If you have purchased any HD films from iTunes, then these will be upgraded to 4K for no cost, allowing you to enjoy your favourites with a more detailed picture. The inclusion of Dolby Vision allows for brighter colours and sharper lines.

ST. LOUIS - Dangerous heat combined with high humidity means heat index values will soar to 110 degrees across the St. Louis region. This excessive heat is forecast to last well into the weekend. And while everyone needs to take certain precautions to stay safe, overexposure to extreme heat is dangerous to both pregnant women and their babies.
During pregnancy, women are more sensitive to the effects of heat because of some of the changes already happening in their bodies. They have extra fluid and weight, a higher base body temperature and an increase in baseline heart rate level. All of these factors make them more prone to feeling overheated compared to the average person.
Dr. Eric Strand, Division Chief of General Obstetrics and Gynecology, says there are early signs of heat exhaustion that pregnant woman need to recognize.
"A rapid heart rate, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, profuse sweating or feeling of clamminess, fatigue can be one," he said. "Certainly, if a woman is using the bathroom and she notices her urine is very dark that's usually a sign that she might be becoming dehydrated. So those would all be early warning signs that somebody might want to take a few measures to get themselves cooled off."
Dr. Strand says that if you start feeling any of these early signs of heat exhaustion you need to get to a cool place, drink cool fluids, apply cool compresses, shed layers or change into looser fitting clothes. If taking these precautions doesn't alleviate the symptoms, or if you become confused, lethargic, or your body temperature is at 103 degrees or higher, you need medical help.
Dr. Strand says experiencing heat exhaustion or stroke can have impacts on not only the mom but their baby as well.
"So many patients will find that they're a little more prone to contracting if they get dehydrated. And so one of the things we always tell women throughout the course of pregnancy that they want to stay well hydrated and obviously they're at risk of being dehydrated when it's so hot outside. Certainly, severe forms of heat exhaustion to heatstroke can have significantly negative effects for mom and baby. Just in terms of the baby's ability to survive through that very hostile environment," Dr. Strand said.
Pregnant women should limit outdoor time, avoid exercising outside in the middle of the day and use caution.

Blockchain assets are a form of digital logistics , network, and payment ledgers that can be executed over the internet between any two parties. For more detailed information on the subject matter please contact the Invstur team at email@example.com
Every Blockchain Asset requires computing power to find, confirm and process transactions. "Mining" is simply a term referring to the act of providing processing power to the Blockchain network and in return one receives payment in the form of that asset, which can be traded for traditional currency.
Based on the investor's preference, We pay quarterly upon request,or roll the returns into your in your local currency.
When buying Blockchain assets, it is similar to investing in the stock or forex markets. You can make a return, yet small, and it is not always guaranteed. On the other hand mining such assets, and converting them to traditional currency guarantees a return.
Yes. Tax documents will be issued for the previous year during the beginning of each tax year. Each investor is completely and entirely responsible for filing their own tax returns.
Our returns are calculated by taking into consideration processing power, electricity, operation costs, maintenance costs and the relative performance of the Blockchain asset market as a ratio of its current value compared to it's most recent all time high in the blockchain market with various Indexes.
Returns will be professionally managed and removed from the Blockchain market in order to reduce risks.

Invstur is designed mainly towards individuals and investors who would like to take full advantage of the returns possible in the blockchain environment but may have limited knowledge about how the system works. We are a team of experienced professionals who will deliver strong and steady returns.
As a company we will be implementing whichever mining equipment that will yield the greatest returns over the longest period of time.
One basic aspect to the model is that we provide computing power to blockchain networks and receive payment for our service.
No. At present there are no regulations that govern the blockchain universe. Whenever they are implemented, Invstur LLC, a Delaware Company has positioned itself to be absorbed into that new system while still providing the same returns.
Invstur is not a MLM (pyramid) scheme. You invest in your portfolio as one does in an IRA, Annuity, mutual fund, or a 401k. As you invest in your portfolio your dividends grow, it is independent of what the other investors are doing. "Invest in Your Future," that is what each one of our investors do.
Pump and Dump, this is a terminology that has become synonymous with MLM schemes. You are promised a return of 80-120+% on your money regardless of the volatility of the market. This is done by recruiting a team that is underneath you. As they invest you get paid, when they stop investing, the company closes its doors. We here at Invstur frown upon this model. We will never implement anything such as any derivative of an MLM scheme. (This part hast be bold or underlined)
Our system has been devised and tested by professionals and is built to provide the maximum output possible. This will allow for Invstur to take advantage of the most profitable areas in the blockchain, guaranteeing a profitable return to our investors.
The company & system is setup and operational in the United States.

It's Halloween weekend and the good folks at Premier British Wrestling have a scarily good evening of wrestling at Greenock Town Centre (sorry, I promise that shall be my last Halloween related pun). Rather than read my crap jokes let's get straight into the announced matches and the order I predict they will occur.
One of the best up-and-coming wrestlers in the UK, Aaron Echo, is taking on one of the most well respected veterans in Scotland, Darkside. Both men are highly talented making it difficult to predict a winner but having seen Echo wrestle multiple times in person for Main Event Wrestling in Newcastle my money would be on the youngster in this one.
Similarly to Darkside/Echo this match pits a talented youngster against a more experienced veteran however that is where the similarities end. Lucha DS seems like a lovely, well meaning young man and one that is enjoying his fledgling journey into professional wrestling. His opponent, Jack Jester, however is known as a man who takes things very seriously and is definitely not someone that I would ever choose to step inside a wrestling ring with. I respect DS's bottle and that he hasn't backed down to the former ICW World Heavyweight champion but I will be impressed if he survives this match let alone wins.
Grado is an international megastar and Williams is one of the best lightweights anywhere in the world, together they are PBW Tag Team champions. In theory they should go into any match as overwhelming favourites given their respective reputations. However from what I know of Zak and Roy Knight they aren't the sort of men to pay much attention to theories. In the six years since the brothers started tagging together they have been dishing out beatings and leaving a trail of defeated tag teams in their wake. If the Grado and Williams are able to keep this match on the inside and stop it from descending into a brawl I predict they will retain their titles but if the UK Hooligans turn the contest into a fight they may well walk out as the new PBW Tag Team champions.
This is the match I most wish I was able to see in person. Don't get me known I am fan if Echo, Jester and Williams, I love Grado and I believe BT Gunn is the best wrestler in Europe but this match has all the components to be a match of the year contender.
In the nine previous King of Cruisers matches a total of 24 men have battled for right to be known as the best Cruiserweight in the country and add their names to the prestigious list of winners that currently includes Liam Thompson, Bubblegum (twice), El Ligero, Stevie Xavier, Noam Dar, Mark Haskins, Kenny Williams (twice). Even the list of men that have failed to win is illustrious with people like Zack Sabre Jr, Mark Andrews, Marty Scurll, Martin Kirby and CJ Banks having tried but come up short.
Given how impressive the list of former competitors is I have decided to rank this year's participants in order if how likely I believe they are to win:
(Tied) 5 – No disrespect to either Saqib Ali or Dylan Angel as both wrestlers are exceptionally promising talents but given the standard of their opposition and their lack of experience in this type of match I don't fancy either to win. If I were to give one the slight edge it would be Ali who participated in last years match so is slightly less experienced.
4 – 'The Lazarus Kid' Liam Slater may be one of my favourite wrestlers plying his trade on the UK and may have arguably the highest profile of all six men in their years match due to his appearances in WCPW but given that this only his first time in the King of Cruisers match I don't like his chances.
3 – 'The Fake Tan Superman' Lou King Sharp will be trying to win the match at the third time of asking. Maybe he will, maybe he won't but one thing is for sure, when 'Your Mother's Favourite Wrestler' is involved you know it will be entertaining.
2 – Stevie Xavier will be looking to win the match for only the second time in his record fifth appearance. If I had my sensible head on he would probably be my favourite but instead I went with my heart.
1 – 'The Priority' Chris Ridgeway is my pick for this match. He participated in this match in 2015, recently won a similar style contest for Pro Wrestling Legion and most importantly when I flipped a coin to pick between he and Xavier it came up heads!
This may not be the main event of the show but given that is is for the PBW Heavyweight Championship I believe it will headline the show.
Not to take away from the amazing ability of Davey Blaze, I was in the audience of Fear and Loathing VIII last year and he showed during his way with Stevie Xavier that he fantastically talented, but as I have already stated B.T. Gunn is my pick for best wrestler in Europe and there is literally no-one I would pick to beat him in any given night. Perhaps Blaze will catch Gunn on an off night or maybe Charles Boddington will make a difference but for me I know where my money would be on.
Despite this being my first preview of PBW I have follow many of their storylines and am big fans of several of the homegrown talent so I am incredibly jealous of those that will be in attendance as I am sure it will be an absolutely fantastic show. Feel free to tweet @CallingSpots (or me @Xtreme_Neil) and let us know what you think of the show.
Tickets can be bought in person from The Beacon Arts Centre, via telephone by calling their box office on 01475723723 or by going online here and cost:
£20.00 for front row

by Kenneth Westby Looking for a fight? Just bring up the subject of abortion in mixed company. Strongly state your opinion and soon there will be "blood." Abortion is one of those incendiary topics that sit at the intersection of religion and politics like a lit match between two open cans of gasoline. But why has the subject of abortion become so charged with emotion, vitriol, and even, at times, violence? For most of history the right and wrong of abortion was not a polarizing issue. Most cultures regarded it as an evil. In modern, more civilized times, it was a shameful practice and against the law. People who did speak out in favor of abortion, such as the Marquis de Sade, were universally condemned as deviant reprobates. In 1973 with the famous Roe v Wade case all that began to change in America. The U.S. Supreme Court declared "open season" on the unborn. The court had somehow conjured a "privacy" principle from the U.S. Constitution, and from that phantom constructed a "woman's right to choose" - to choose to kill her yet-to-be-born baby. From 1973 to now the death toll stands at 40 million (and counting) helpless innocents slaughtered in the name of "a right to choose." A third of American women have had their sons and daughters snuffed out. A quarter of unborn children will die this way. Those promoting abortion (pro choice) and those abortionists making money on its thriving business are treated as noble pioneers in the emancipation of women from the drudgery of motherhood or the consequences of sexual promiscuity. Those who stand against abortion (pro-life), especially for religious reasons, are often portrayed as intolerant, bigots, and out to abridge freedom and women's rights. How did we as a nation get to this contorted moral state? A COARSE CULTURE This moral coarsening of Western civilization had already begun early in 20th Century with the advent of barbarous communism, and later, the savagery of German Nazism. These brutal, anti-God, socialist tyrannies waged war against their own people and against their people's unborn children. The twisted ideals of the almighty state took precedence over an individual's needs and even their right to live. If the state deemed some people less than fully human it forced abortions of the unwanted before they could breathe their first breath. In the "worker's paradise" women were needed to work the lathes of industry for yet another attempt at a giant leap forward and requiring burdensome pregnancies to be terminated by state-provided abortions. In Hitler's Reich the weak, mentally or physically handicapped, "racially impure," and other inconvenient humans, such as the entire race of the Jews, were terminated whether by abortion, firing squad, starvation, or the gas chamber. It was "the state's right to choose" that was of higher value than the helpless innocents. It is not too much of a stretch to liken today's killing of the helpless unborn in America and Europe to the barbarities of the 20th Century? In raw numbers the abortion death toll in post World War Two America and Europe surpasses all the killing done by Soviet communism and Hitler combined. The major difference is that instead the killing being done in the name of the state; it is now done in the name of the individual for his/her personal comfort and convenience - with the blessing of the state. The state facilitates the procedure by making it legal, and in many cases, paying for it. This gruesome practice is tolerated by a majority of the public in all western democracies; the elected officials who support it are routinely returned to office. If government won't stand up to protect the vulnerable, the weak, and the innocent, who will? God has never been silent on protecting those who most need it. He proclaims himself the defender of the fatherless, the widow, the weak, the oppressed, and the enslaved. He warns that he will bring to judgment upon those who abuse the helpless. THE PROTECTION COMMANDMENT In the Ten Commandments, there is one commandment that specifically takes up for the powerless and for people (slaves) owned as "property?" Of course, the unborn in today's culture is considered the owned property of the woman: "women have a right over their own bodies" - meaning a woman's ownership includes the separate human being growing within her body. Apparently the rights of the unborn count for nothing in the face of the master's ownership. For most of world history including recent American history, slaves - like the unborn today - were considered property, not free people like you and me. They had to depend on others to protect them from abuse. What Divine commandment tells us that even the powerless are humans; even the owned have rights and should be afforded respect, protection, and kindness? That special commandment is "the forgotten commandment:" The Fourth Commandment, the Sabbath commandment. A commandment regarded by many as obsolete, a doctrinal artifact, extinct like the dodo bird, and irrelevant. But the dimensions of the Sabbath commandment include more than a specific day of religious attention. It speaks of affording kindness and respect to all who have been made in the image of God and are in some way dependent upon others for protection. Specifically in view are those most vulnerable to be abused and neglected. The reason for this Godly demand for fairness and concern is because all human flesh has the same creator, the same savior, and the same deliverer. Those who bear the Image of God are "sacrosanct" and must be given respect and justice. In this commandment, found right in the middle of The Ten, God tells his nation that in their rest and rejuvenation on the seventh day they are to insure that the disenfranchised are likewise given an equal opportunity for rest. EXODUS VERSION Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.... On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. Far in six days the Lard made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. 1 DEUTERONOMY VERSION ...But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt....2 PROTECTING THEW WEAK AND HELPLESS Notice that Yahweh (the LORD) is concerned that the disenfranchised "slave" class of people should rest on the Sabbath. Though they may be "property" to their masters, they are humans before God and should be treated as such. The Sabbath commandment protects the "personhood" of all classes of people. As the U.S. President reminds us, "liberty isn't something that nations have authority to grant; it is a gift from God. God has made all men to be free." And I add, every human should be free to be born, as life is the greatest gift from God. The prestigious Anchor Bible Dictionary, in its lengthy article on slavery in the ancient Near East, has this to say about the Sabbath commandment: Thus, the 4th Commandment contains an interdiction against forcing the slaves to work on the Sabbath (Exod 20:10; 23:12; Deut 5:14)....We have in the Bible the first appeals in world literature to treat slaves as human beings for their own sake and not just in the interests of their master. Thus, slaves both born to the household and those bought with money, just like the free; Israelites, were to be circumcised in order to share cultic [religious] life and eat the Passover (Gen 17:13,23,27; Exod 12:44; Deut 12:12, 18; Lev 22:11). The Hebrew law also restricted the master's power over his slaves. 3 What an extraordinary fact: The Sabbath Commandment is the first appeal in world literature to respect slaves as people and not just as property to serve solely the interests of their owners. How might this Sabbath principle be applied to those who claim ownership over a life growing toward birth? Is not this most enlightened commandment every bit as applicable to vulnerable unborn babies as to slaves in another era? At the time this commandment was given to Moses the disenfranchised were male and female servants/slaves who for one reason or another were in servitude. They were owned. They were property. Sometimes it was not slavery per se, but a voluntary servitude usually for financial reasons - although slavery in that world was not uncommon. Native Israelites could also "sell" themselves into a specific number of years of servitude in order to pay off debts. Desperate conditions led others into indentured servanthood - employees without many "rights" (and certainly no union representation!). Also mentioned in the Fourth Command is the alien who was a foreigner, a non-Israelite, a person without stake or citizenship within the nation. These aliens could be considered "strangers" temporarily travelling through Israelite territory; or they could be permanent residents. Often the alien took jobs as low-level servants and attached themselves to a specific family for care and provision in return for their labor. Later in Israelite history, prisoners captured in war were made servants or "slaves." This entire class of people was in large part at the mercy of their masters. The Torah was clear in its instructions that Israelite and non-Israelite servants be afforded kind treatment and abusing them was forbidden. The unborn are not in view in the Fourth Commandment as Israelites did not practice abortion, but the "owned," the vulnerable, the young sons and daughters, and the weak clearly are in God's view. THE POWERLESS TODAY Who are the powerless today? Who among the human race have always been the most dependent, helpless and most in need of protection? Children, of course. And of children, the unborn are the most vulnerable of all. Why does God mention animals in the Fourth Commandment? Is God so concerned for animals that he wants them to rest. Plainly that is not his prime concern. To work animals means to work people - slaves, farm hands, and servants must work with the animals. While discussing support for the ministry, the Apostle Paul mentions the scripture about not muzzling the ox treading the corn and asks, "Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn't he?" 4 (Let me say here, that though some main thought may be towards us humans, God DOES concern Himself with proper care for animals that we humans are allowed to ruler over. As a horseman, working on Stud Farms and Riding Ranches since a teenager, I can most assuredly tell you that working horses NEED a day of rest. To work horses or oxen seven days a week is going to have detrimental health repercussions, which in the end is not only cruel to the animal, it is going to shorten the animals life span. When Roy Rogers [who became the famous King of the Cowboys with his just as famous golden Palomino horse Trigger] entered the movies in 1937, he was told by the horse veterinarian that to use Trigger for all the running scenes of every movie [and Trigger was in all Roy's movies and TV series, every one of them] would cost him good health. Roy then often used a "look alike" horse for Trigger in the distant running scenes. Roy says Trigger was very well cared for and then lived to an unusual old age for a saddle horse, of 33 years). The Sabbath command extends to domesticated animals only - not wild animals since man does not care for or work them. In Eden, God didn't commune with the animals on the Sabbath, but he did with man. (I'm sure the Lord went into much more detail on Sabbath keeping with Adam and Eve than is recorded, so also with marriage and child-rearing etc. Genesis is a nut-shell story only, especially in the first chapters. Domestic working animals NEED a day of rest, this is just the plain truth of the matter, as anyone working with "working farm and ranch animals" knows very well - Keith Hunt). God made people free and even if circumstances in life cause people to lose freedom, they are still people before Him and they bear His image. As a memorial to man's created purpose, the Sabbath command tells all who listen, that children, servants and slaves are people too and are invited to rest and commune with their Creator on the Sabbath day. They are delivered from work on this day because God declares: "I am Lord of the Sabbath and I made man free - today they shall be free to rest, for even I rested on this day." Jesus said "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." 5 God is demonstrating both the dignity and personhood of the weak and disenfranchised. He takes up their cause in his role of deliverer. Deliverer from what to what we may ask? Deliverance from slavery, abuse, bondage, loss of status, loss of rights, loss of dignity, loss of hope, loss of land, and loss of a future. Delivered to enter freedom, if but for only a day of rest. The Sabbath is the symbol of freedom, a sign of a better day when the oppressed can cry, "Free, free, thank God, free at last." And for the unborn, freedom is to be born and live! Abortion is not much in view in the OT. It is assumed people would give birth to their children, not abort them. In Scripture an unborn child (a fetus) is always dealt with as a person, not "tissue" (see: Ps 139:15-16; Isa 40:1, 5; Jer 1:5; Gal 1:15) 6. Accidental abortion and abortion collateral to violence to a pregnant woman are dealt with as serious events. An abortion occasioned by violence against the mother is treated as manslaughter (a crime) since the death of the unborn was not the object of the violence. Even prior to the exodus from Egypt Israelites resisted, at great personal risk, the Egyptian government's attempts at "partial birth abortions" upon expecting women. Abortion was the rule of the land, but it was disobeyed by the God-fearing Israelite women. Moses was one of those babies targeted to be thrown into the Nile River upon birth. His parents wouldn't commit infanticide and Moses lived. In time God used him to deliver an entire nation from slavery. The Sabbath Commandment is not the only commandment that either directly on in principle forbids abortion, but it the one that reveals God's concern for the most vulnerable among us. The other nine commandments stand against the practice in various ways: 1) The first commandment requires us to have no other gods before him and that would include the "god of self" upon whose altar the unborn are sacrificed; 2) Idolatry is erecting symbols of authority (constitutional "privacy," "choice," "my body") in place of the one true God. It is rebellion against the invisible Creator; 3) Misusing God's name by destroying the man he has made in his image and to bear his name, "son of God"; 4) See above; 5) Abortion dishonors parents by killing their grandchildren. How can you honor your parents and destroy their grandchildren?; 6) You shall not murder means what it says. Murder is the deliberate killing of another without the cause of self-defense; 7) the command to preserve the integrity of marriage includes the injunction from creation to be fruitful and multiply. This is violated when one willingly chooses to kill the fruit of the God-created union of man and wife; 8) Stealing what is not yours would include taking a life that is not yours to take. The woman does not own her child - born or unborn - God does; 9) False testimony would apply to all the so-called reasons for an abortion being necessary "I can't have this child," "I can't afford this baby," I'm too busy, too poor, too young, too old, etc." "It will change and interfere with my life." The truth usually is: "I'm too selfish," or "I'm too ignorant" or both; 10) to covet is to put personal desires ahead of your neighbor's rights. To want to take things you have no right to take. To put personal lusts and enjoyment above all else. To take away the life of your child so you can have a better life. Covetousness is labelled "idolatry" in the New Testament. 7 A CONFLICTED CULTURE Consider the following comparisons made by Jesus and ask yourself if the unborn could be included among them. Speaking on God's care and feeding of lowly sparrows, the most common of birds, Jesus asks, "Are you not more valuable then they?" 8 We ask, is not the fruit of our bodies more important to God than sparrows? Elsewhere Jesus says, "Even the very hairs of your head are numbered." 9 If that continually changing, and to us unknowable, number is indicative of God's detailed concern for us, how much more so an unborn human made in his image and growing within a woman. Ours is a conflicted culture. On the one hand we consider it double-murder for a man to kill a woman and her unborn child, as the California case against Scott Peterson for the murder of his wife Laci and unborn son, Conner, illustrates. On the other hand politicians proudly campaign for votes by advocating a woman's right to kill her own unborn child. Lamentably, most people are not sufficiently repulsed at abortion having never seen one performed nor ever cared enough to read about its gruesome details. We shall let Jane Roe (of Roe v Wade), whose real name is Norma McCorvey, tell us what pro-choice advocates don't want known. Norma was a 21-year-old street person who was ignorant about abortion and made up the story she was raped. Her pro-choice lawyers and handlers deceived her and used her to construct and advance an argument to make abortions legal throughout America. She was told that the baby inside her was mere "tissue." Because of her fame following the Supreme Court case she was regularly given jobs at abortions mills. Along the way her heart was changed. She had held the hands of countless women being aborted as they dug their nails into her palm. In an affidavit she recently filed in the cause of reversing Roe v Wade, she describes what it was like in the "clinics:" But the most distressing room in the facility was the "parts room." Aborted babies were stored there. There were dead babies and baby parts stacked like cordwood. Some of the babies made it into buckets and because of its disgusting features, no one ever cleaned the room. The stench was horrible. Plastic bags full of baby parts that were swimming in blood were tied up, stored in the room and picked up once a week. At another clinic, the dead babies were kept in a big white freezer full of dozens of jars, all full of baby parts, little tiny hands and feet visible through the jars, frozen in blood. The abortion clinic's personnel always referred to these dismembered babies as "tissue." 10 "This is a scene straight out of hell," writes Pat Buchanan of Norma's description. In 1995 Norma became a Christian and has devoted herself to stopping the butchering of these tiny bodies. IN ONE GENERATION How could our culture slide so quickly into this cruel abyss? It has taken but one generation for this civilized nation to so cheapen the value of its helpless unborn children that it could throw 40 million of them into piles like dismembered chickens. Peggy Noonan, a columnist, commentator, and the former speech writer for President Ronald Reagan, illustrates the startling quickness in changing attitudes toward abortion. She tells of recently attending the Broadway revival of a popular play, "Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, which was first performed in 1960. Ms.Noonan had seen the play a few times previously, but not for decades. It is the story of 1950s intact nuclear black family coping with the cultural changes of the time. The tragic moment in the play comes when the young woman, married to a ne'er-do-well, tells her mother-in-law she's pregnant and planning an abortion, and has already put down $5 with the local abortionist. "When this play came out in 1960," Peggy writes, "it was perceived by the audience as a painful moment - a cry of pain from a woman who's tired of hoping that life will turn out well." Audiences reacted in hushed silence at the moment's tragic unfolding. The Broadway debut she recently attended featured the rapper P.Diddy, the former Puff Daddy, whose real name is Sean Combs. The house was packed and Peggy and her friend were enjoying the well-acted revival of the play until it came to that tragic scene when the young woman announces her intent to abort her baby. But this time the audience did not know that it was tragic. They heard the young woman say she was about to end the life of her child, and they applauded. Same of them cheered. It was stunning. The reaction seemed to startle the actors on the stage, and shake their concentration. I was startled and turned to my friend. "We have just witnessed a terrible cultural movement," I said. "Don't I know it," he responded. And I can't tell you how much that moment hurt. To know that the members of the audience didn't know that the taking of a baby's life is tragic that the taking of your own baby's life is beyond tragic, is almost operatic in its wailing woe. ...They reacted as if abortion were a political question. They thought that the fact that the young woman was considering abortion was a sign of liberation. They thought the cry of pain was in fact a moment of self-actualizing growth." 11 America has changed in but a generation. While our modern culture prides itself on its newly found sensitivity to all sorts of politically correct concerns, on its Herculean efforts to save the whales, endangered rodents, and pigs from being used in medical research, it has nevertheless become hard, calloused, indifferent, and even cruel to humans beings in their most helpless and vulnerable state. SABBATH AS SYMBOL I wonder if our culture could have become so coarse had its citizens every week paused to listen to and internalize the message of the Fourth Commandment. The Sabbath stands astride our culture as a beacon, like the Statue of Liberty, to welcome those who need rest, who need protection, who need liberation from bondage. Jesus illustrated what the Sabbath represents by choosing that day to heal a woman who had been crippled for eighteen years. He was promptly criticized by an indignant synagogue ruler who said Jesus had six days during the week to do his healing business and the Sabbath wasn't the place for it. Jesus replied, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her? When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated...." 12 We in this great land should likewise be humiliated that we have such love for animals, yet care not for those in greatest need, our young innocents, who bear the image of God, struggling toward birth and life. Proforma Sabbath keeping is no guarantee that people will automatically share God's concern for the vulnerable, as the example above illustrates. Neither does washing your face give you a clean mind. But the kind of Sabbath celebration our Creator has in mind for us requires our heart to be in fellowship with him. Perhaps those of us who understand our Creator's great passion for the weak and vulnerable, as expressed in the Fourth Commandment, should sometimes use our Sabbath days to bring rest, or aid, or deliverance to someone in need. And with every Sabbath we celebrate let us pray and cry out for an end to the slaughter of the innocents. I have indeed seen the misery of my people....I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them .... 13 End Notes 1. Exodus 20:8-11, NIV 2. Deuteronomy 5:14-15 3.

Getting Started with Ninth Grade Homeschool
Ninth Grade Homeschooling Overview
The beginning of the high school years can be a time of anxiety for parents of homeschoolers. They wonder if they will be able to serve all the functions of parent, teacher, guidance counselor, and high school administrator. It's true that a successful 9th grade homeschool year requires some planning and preparation, but the truth is that no outside person is more dedicated to your child's success than you, which already puts you ahead of the game!
This page provides:
- Top Ten Tips for Homeschooling Ninth Grade
- Ninth Grade Homeschool Curriculum
- Ninth Grade Homeschool Resources
If you are looking ahead to college, one of the most important facets of your high school homeschool years will be keeping an accurate high school transcript. Unless you are enrolling your ninth grader in a virtual or online school, this important document is the responsibility of the homeschool parent. LetsHomeschoolHighschool.com hosts valuable advice for creating and organizing a homeschool transcript.
A typical course of study for ninth grade homeschoolers includes English 1, Algebra 1, Biology and US History 1. In addition, many students homeschooling in 9th grade will take a physical education course, and at least one elective such as foreign language, fine arts, or career and technical education courses.
Ten Tips for Homeschooling 9th Grade
- Your state's department of education website can be an invaluable resource for what a typical course of study for your child's grade level includes. This should only serve as a comparative tool, however, since ultimately, a homeschool student's coursework is determined by the student and parent.
- Credit hours, which are the normal way of tracking a high schooler's coursework, can be fulfilled in a myriad of ways. In general, a one-year course (120-180 hours of work) equals one credit. A half-year course (60-90 hours of work) equals a half credit.
- One of the most powerful advantages to homeschooling is its flexibility. Your ninth grader's interests, passions, and personality can dictate much of the content of his or her coursework.
- Prevent burnout by scheduling regular outings with other families. Find out if your area has a local homeschool support group or meetups at the library and get involved with field trips, clubs, and community service activities they offer.
- Parents of high schoolers need not be anxious about whether they are qualified to teach all the subject matter. Homeschoolers taking advanced coursework can access online tutorials, homeschool cooperatives or qualified local tutors for those subjects.
- Because teenagers have such varying natural sleep schedules, it's common to adjust a homeschooling schedule to whatever time of day he or she works best – – even if it's after midnight!
- 9th grade homeschooling can include a large variety of extracurricular activities including local homeschool athletic leagues, volunteer opportunities, summer camps, fine arts classes, ROTC, homeschool support group activities, and more.
- Homeschooling high school doesn't have to break the bank. Many of the books and resources needed to homeschool a 9th grader are available for free or at minimal cost online, at your local library, via used bookstores, or by trading off with other homeschool families.
- If you are homeschooling a 9th grader with a learning difference, you may still have access to resources from your local public school system. Check with your state and regional laws to see if your student qualifies for supplemental services as a homeschooler.
- Because homeschooling has become mainstream, many artisans and teachers now offer both public and private classes geared toward homeschoolers. Check local newspapers and online for notices about offerings near you that might fit your student's interests.

Auditor general asked to review controversial GO stations proposed by Metrolinx
Kirby and Lawrence East are part of the proposed 12 station regional rail expansion
Ontario's auditor general has been asked to review the controversial Kirby and Lawrence East GO stations proposed by Metrolinx.
Progressive Conservative MPP Lisa MacLeod's motion requesting the audit was approved by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts Wednesday.
- Why some Markham, Whitchurch-Stouffville commuters want their GO buses back
- Scarborough subway critics want Ontario's auditor general to investigate
The two stations are part of Metrolinx's proposed 12 station expansion to rail service called Regional Express Rail (RER).
The proposed Kirby station was to be built in the Vaughan riding of Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca, but an initial business case review (IBC) conducted by Metrolinx in 2016 found major issues with the proposal.
"The preliminary results of the IBC show that the benefits which could be realized by a Kirby station are not large enough to outweigh the anticipated negative impacts to GO Transit and the economy," the report found.
A similar review of the proposed Lawrence East stop found the station would be complex to build, underused and push more commuters to use cars.
Review already underway
A further internal review of the stations is already underway, according to Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins.
"We want to assure the public we aren't going to build a station that isn't warranted," Aikins said.
She said the transit agency would happily comply with an auditor general's review.
Before the audit was requested, Del Duca indicated that he too supported a further review of the stations, including the possibility that they be removed from the proposed RER network.
"If in the opinion of Metrolinx's management team and board, the aforementioned information is not adequate to justify these stations, then both Kirby and Lawrence East GO stations should be deferred to the next round of consideration at a further date," Del Duca wrote.
Metrolinx's additional review of the stations is scheduled to be finished in February.

Houston hospitals compete to lure expectant moms
Competition for business delivers a variety of choices for women
After Valerie Sulma gave birth last week, nurses applied ink to her baby girl's feet and stamped the footprints on the scrub shirt the new dad was wearing, a keepsake for the occasion.
The following day, Sulma watched The Newborn Channel and ordered breakfast from the hospital room-service menu. Isabella Faith, 6 pounds, 14 ounces, lay in her mother's lap, wearing a pink cap knitted by hospital volunteers. Before the day was over, a congratulatory cake was wheeled in.
"It's like a hotel," said Sulma, who traveled from the Memorial City area to give birth at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital-Katy. "They set such high standards."
Around the Houston area, hospitals are stepping up efforts to lure expectant mothers, among the industry's most coveted patients. It's a competition that involves not only little gestures and luxury amenities, but also expanded or upgraded facilities and aggressive marketing campaigns.
The result is an abundance of choices for pregnant women. They can choose rooms with Jacuzzi tubs and postpartum spas, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, wireless Internet access and terry cloth bathrobes. They can have water births and midwives, massage or aromatherapy.
The abundance of choices is drawing even Medicaid mothers to private hospitals and away from the Harris County Hospital District, the safety net for the poor and the area's most prolific deliverer of babies.
Hurt by the trend, district officials said earlier this month that they plan to fight back by converting four-bed maternity wards into semi-private rooms.
Expansion everywhere
There's activity all around.
The Woman's Hospital of Texas, the area's most popular single delivery center, just cut the ribbon on a $75 million expansion that will add 92 beds. St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in October opened a Sugar Land hospital with a floor devoted to women's heath and recently expanded obstetrics at its hospital in The Woodlands. The Methodist Hospital in Sugar Land is adding maternity space for the third time in a decade, and Memorial Hermann in Memorial City is scheduled to open a new, upgraded center in May. Texas Children's will get into the birthing business with its own center, focused on high-risk pregnancies.
"This is a great time for Houston-area expectant mothers," says Dr. Todd Ivey, president-elect of the Houston Gynecological & Obstetrical Society and a Baylor College of Medicine professor. "Never before have they had such an availability of options to fit their individual desires."
The new options are a testament to the decision-making muscle of women, found in studies to make health-care choices for their family more than two-thirds of the time. Give a new mom a pleasant birth experience, the thinking goes, and you capture the whole family's health-care business for a lifetime.
That thinking began changing hospitals in the 1970s and 1980s. Suburban hospitals, in particular, began catering to expectant moms, offering amenities, emphasizing personalized care, prettying up the surroundings.
Ivey says Houston-area obstetrics activity has waxed and waned over the years but has been on the upswing the past five to 10.
Increasingly, the trend is to create an environment reminiscent of the home. The birth center movement, with its emphasis on childbirth as a natural occurrence rather than a medical procedure, has helped popularize the change.
"What many hospitals are doing, in effect, is creating a birth center in the hospital," says Linda Murray, editor in chief of BabyCenter.com, a Web site for new and expectant moms. "The idea is to offer women as natural an experience as they want, while also providing top-of-the-line medical capabilities."
Setting the scene
At many Houston-area hospitals, such a philosophy is obvious from the decor — wood floors and redwood cabinetry, earth-tone carpets, nature scenes on the walls. At Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital-Katy, "tranquility lights" illuminate scenes of waterfalls, meadows and bridges.
At St. Luke's in The Woodlands, staffers describe the look as "bringing the outdoors in."
Inside many Houston maternity centers, the emphasis is on security.
An anklet or bracelet on the baby sets off an alert system that screams a siren and locks the floor down if the newborn is taken close to an elevator or open exit door.
Hospitals market the centers aggressively, touting lake views, offering tours and Web site virtual tours.
The question is: Is it all really worth it? According to a BabyCenter.com poll, women's top considerations in picking a hospital are its reputation, their obstetrician's recommendation and proximity to home or work.
Consider St. Luke's in The Woodlands, where staffers acknowledge only a small fraction of expectant moms avail themselves of the Jacuzzi tubs and new mom Melissa Pinegar scrunched her nose at questions regarding whether they were a draw to her.

Shed Equipment
For years farmers have tried various sprinkler systems to reduce flies and heat. Cool Cow is the new fly and heat control system from the New Zealand company Pesky Ideas. Cool Cow is the whole kit you need. It includes 65m of 4mm-i.d. heavy-wall plastic delivery line, plus all the fittings required to plumb it from your washdown pump pressure line. The plastic line is routed around the milking platform, herring bone, or rotary. It is then cut at regular points for the push-fit mister couplings to be installed (up to 30 of). A line cutting tool is supplied. The brass misters are then screwed into the couplings. A main tap and line filter are supplied. With the main tap on, the mist system operates as the yard pump is turned on and off as required.
Cool Cow is a great system for control of biting flies, and also for keeping cows cool and comfortable in the dairy. You will see immediate reduction in cow fidgeting, tail swinging, and cups kicked off. *The service kit includes one new filter plus 30 new misting nozzles. (These are recommended to be changed annually)

More Information on Straight Through Traps:
If your waste pipe is located directly below your pedestal bowl, at the floor, then this high quality trap is the perfect option. Suitable for domestic or professional use, this straight-through trap features a 76mm snare and 32mm seal, plus universal compression fittings which satisfy criteria BS 1451 and BS 1455. This product is fast and simple to fit, as it will not needing solvent welding. Made from tough, hard wearing plastics, it is a highly durable component that will help keep your bathroom working properly.
We supply a wide and extensive array of waste traps, such as anti-siphon units and universal flexible wastes, to fit programs from toilets to wet rooms and kitchen sinks to washing machines. All water using appliances and fixtures within a house needs a water trap at the waste pipe to give a water seal into the drains or atmosphere, this prevents smells, bacteria and insects entering the property. Most modern waste plumbing (apart from W.C.s) utilise either 32mm (1.25 inch) (for hand basins) or 40mm (1.5 inch) (for sinks, bathrooms, showers, dishwashers, washing machines) plastic pipe and fittings (such as traps); pipe runs over 2m (6 ft ) can utilise 50mm (2 inch) diameter pipe to prevent siphon effect once the waste is utilised.
The dimensions quoted are the internal pipe dimensions (and also the waste outlet in the sink/basin/bath etc), the outer diameter of the pipework does vary between different manufacturers thus pipes and fitting may not be interchangeable. Among the most important aspects of waste water traps is the thickness of seal. Typically the waste pipe matches to the trap with a twist coupling (with a compression seal ring) or a push fit'O' ring coupling - there isn't much to pick between the two types.

An artist coming out of South Florida by the name of "Ivy" is impacting the game of conscious rap with his jazzy almost 90s style flows, and his message. He started with music in 7th grade just freestyling to beats, and loving rappers coming up like Drake, J.cole, and Kendrick Lamar. He did take a break from music to pursue basketball but music brought him back. He wants to change the culture of sound in hip hop and the voice in his community. He has a heart for the world but stays true to his roots. As he grows in making music, he will soon be a household name.
What is the concept behind the music video titled "IDK?"
-IDk- I wanted to just show my flow and lyrical talent but having a slight meaning of who I am.
And you have a dope song on soundcloud called "Energy" so what's the deal with that track? https://soundcloud.com/ivyb19/energy-prod-by-dreamlife-beats
- I just want to be different, I'm not afraid to give who I am in music. I'm just giving you my energy.

But the benefits of our vitamin C serum doesn't stop there.

84% of women saw smoother skin after 1 week of use**
*in a clinical study of 32 women after 4 weeks of use

Pat and press the vitamin C serum onto clean, dry skin over face and neck until fully absorbed. Follow with your favorite Honest Beauty® moisturizer or face cream like our Everyday Radiance Moisturizer to lock in the serum and even more glow. Use daily, morning and night.
CAUTION: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. In case of irritation, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

What to do if your employer doesn't accommodate you
Even if your company is sympathetic to your situation, they may in the end determine that they are unable to accommodate your disability. If this is the case, they would be obliged to meet the applicable conditions of your collective agreement (if you have one) as well as the Employment Standards Act, Human Rights Code, Workerplace Insurance Act and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act. You should also avail yourself of all employee benefits for which you are eligible.
Dealing with co-workers
You're not obliged to tell your co-workers you have dementia. You may be concerned about how people will treat you once they know. It's a valid concern.
However, if you don't tell your co-workers, they may draw their own conclusions about why your behaviour or job performance is "off." They may think it's because of substance abuse, lack of motivation or some other reason.
In order to minimize the chance for these types of misunderstandings, you may decide to tell your co-workers about your diagnosis. You should probably let your boss know before you do so. Your employer may be able to help address any concerns your co-workers have about how their jobs will be affected as a result of changes made to your job responsibilities.
Before telling your co-workers:
- Make sure you understand as much about the disease as you can. Your physician or the Alzheimer Society should be able to help.
- The Alzheimer Society will also be able to point you to myth-busting information about dementia that you can pass on to your co-workers. Your employer may want invite someone from the Alzheimer Society to make a presentation to your colleagues at work.
- Be prepared to discuss not only how the disease is causing you trouble, but also what you are still capable of.
Despite your best efforts, some of your co-workers may treat you differently after you tell them you have dementia. This may be beyond your control. However, if it becomes an obstruction to you doing your job, your employer or the Alzheimer Society may be able to help.
