I Corinthians 4:8-21 - Making the Right Evaluation
- tonight I'd like to begin our time together by asking us
to think about several questions
- let's suppose tonight that your car is giving you problems
and so you take it into the mechanic to be fixed
- INPUT - how important is it that the mechanic makes the
right evaluation of the problem and why is that is
- INPUT - what are some other areas (other than the Christian
life) - where making the right evaluation of the
situation is very important?
- tonight, we're going to be looking at "making the right
evaluation" in the Christian life from I Cor. 4:8-21
- read verse 8
- before we read this whole passage, we need to point out
something about the literary method that Paul is using
- INPUT - in what way is Paul speaking in verse 8?
- there's no other way to understand these verses other than
to say that Paul is using what some have called "sanctified
sarcasm" to make a point
- now, we need to talk about that for a minute
- we often talk about sarcasm in a negative way
- INPUT - was it sinful for Paul to speak in this way to the
Corinthians? (no) - All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, (II Tim. 3:16-17
- "Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one
title shall in no way pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled."
- we believe in verbal, plenary inspiration
- which means that each word in the Bible is inspired
- each word is inspired to the same degree - each one is
equally important (plenary)
- So obviously God knew that this method was the most loving
and effective way to get the point across to the
- there's nothing wrong with the way Paul was speaking
- INPUT - however, does that mean that you and I should go
around trying to imitate that method? (no, because of
the great possibility of sin entering in to the way we
exercised it)
- there are a number of things that the Lord did because He
was sinless that we wouldn't necessarily do because of the
great potential for our own sin and weakness to enter in
- Jesus counseled the woman at the well apparently by Himself
- with just the two of them present
- that's something we don't do
- because of the appearance of evil
- the possibility of temptation
- Jesus had such perfect control of Hs anger that He was able
to drive the money changers out of the temple with a scourge
of cords and not sin
- We're not going to deal with sinful folks in that way today
because of the great possibility of sinfulness entering in
- ***what can be a thing of beauty and power in the hands of
one person can be a thing of destruction and death in
the hands of another
- cf. Paul Smith - doing a demonstration with explosive
chemicals - (you wouldn't want me doing that)
- Point is - while Paul is using sarcasm here - most of us
would say that:
- because we've wrestled with the sinful use of sarcasm so
much in the past
- because of the great possibility of sinfulness entering
in now
- there would be other methods of communicating truth that
would be wiser for us to use
- Paul's addressing an obvious problem in these verses
I. The Problem Paul Addressed
- let's divide these verses this way
- first, let's think about:
A. The Corinthians evaluation of their situation
- INPUT - there are at least six different
words/phrases that Paul uses to describe the way
the Corinthians were evaluating themselves. WHAT
1. full (NIV - have all you want)
2. rich
3. reigning as kings
4. wise
5. strong
6. honorable
- INPUT - how would you summarize their evaluation?
(you've got all you need - you've reached all
your goals - you've got the world by the
tail, etc.)
- INPUT - on the other hand, how does Paul evaluate his
situation along with the other apostles?
B. Paul's evaluation of his situation
- I've organized these various characteristics around
four key words
1. spectacles
- when Paul says in verse 9 that "we are being
made a spectacle unto the world", he's calling
up an image that would have been very familiar
to the Corinthians
- when a Roman general won a major victory, it
was celebrated with what was called a triumph
- the general and his troops would enter the city
with great military splendor
- behind them would come the prisoners with the
conquered king and military officers displayed
prominently for everyone to see and mock
- the prisoners were then taken to the arena to
fight the wild beasts
- that was called the "spectacle"
- Paul is saying – that's what its like to be an
- one writer translated this verse "God means us
apostles to come in at the very end like doomed
gladiators in the arena."
- now just think about how Paul's description of situation
compares with what the Corinthians were striving for
(we'll talk about that more in a minute)
2. fools
- he said earlier that that the preaching of the
cross is WHAT to those who are perishing?
- since Paul and the other apostles had been
faithful in sharing the good news of Jesus
Christ-those who did not believe declared them
to be fools
- they were "fools...for Christ's sake"
3. sufferers
- INPUT - what verse does this come through? (12)
- INPUT - what other passage does this sound
like? II Cor. 11
4. scum
- filth and off-scouring (KJV) refer to the
scrapings and off-scouring you get after you've
cleaned a big pot
- you know what that's like - you've just had a
great dinner, and you get up to the dishes
- you do the pots last - WHY? (because you don't
want to get all that junk on the rest of the
dishes (you know what stuff we're talking about)
- in Bible days, that was called filth and dregs
- Paul says – that's what its like living for the Lord
- now, there's a lot of victories
- many have accepted the Jesus as Lord and Savior and
they love us
- but those who haven't - they have no respect for us
at all
- we're not treated well by them at all
- no riches, no prestige, no honor
- we're spectacles, fools, sufferers, and scum
- now Paul's not bitter about that
- INPUT - how do we know? v. 12 - "being reviled, we
bless, being persecuted - we endure"
- now we've separated these words out to try to get
an understanding of what the words mean
- but Paul weaved them back and forth to communicate
a point
- there's a real problem here
C. What's the problem?
1. There's a great difference between:
- where they thought they were and where they
really were
- where they wanted to be and where God wanted
them to be
- another way of saying that is:
2. they were unable to evaluate themselves correctly
- just like the mechanic needs to be able to know
what's wrong with a car and what needs to be
done to fix it
- just like an economist has to know what's wrong
with economy before suggesting a solution
- just like the physician must be able to make a
proper diagnosis before he can prescribe a
- evaluation is everything
- Paul says (with tongue in cheek) - you think
you're full, you think you're rich, you think
you're reigning
- I wish you were, he says--but you're not
- you're in trouble because you're not
evaluating yourself correctly
- we see this same problem in counseling
- sometimes the mission boards will ask us to work with
someone or a couple that was sent home from the field
- we've had situations where everyone of those co-workers
gave them negative evaluations - yet they said there weren't
any problems
- they said they couldn't think of anything God wanted them
to change or that they needed to work on
- I've had folks in that situation where I've asked them for
homework to go home and write down the five ways God wanted
them to change the most, and they came back without being
able to make out a list
- we've just come to the position in those situations that
we're not going to try to convince folks that they need
help if they can't see the need in any sense
- I think of one couple that was sent home because the wife
had an affair with someone on the field
- we told them that we would be working with them in their
marriage - they said - "we don't need any help with our
marriage - that affair just happened"
- Was that couple right?
- was everything OK? It just happened?
- see, Paul's talking about an inability to evaluate
- INPUT - can you think of another church mentioned in the NT
that had this same problem? (the church at
- Rev. 3:17 - "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing,
and knowest not that thou art wretched, and
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."
- one of the main reasons they weren't able to make the
proper evaluation is that they didn't have the correct
standards or goals
3. They were unable to set correct standards or goals
- you realize this makes all the difference in the world
- we can't possibly make the right evaluation unless we
have the right goals
- it would be like you and I taking a trip to
- I'm driving, and we get down to I-65, and I have
Indianapolis and Chicago confused in my mind
- so I get on I-65 north
- you say - hey, do you know where you're going
- I say - INPUT? (trust me)
- so you doze off and an hour later you wake up and ask
me how the trips going
- I would present to you that I'm completely unable to
make the right evaluation
- why? - because I've got the wrong goal in mind
- so when you ask me how the trips going, I'm going to
say things like:
- it going great!
- we've gone 60 miles
- we're almost to Lowell
- I've made the wrong evaluation because I've had the
wrong goal
- that's what was happening in the lives of the Corinthians
- their goals were to:
- gain respect from the unsaved world
- be thought of as wise because of the teacher they had
- to rise up the ladder of material success
- Paul says - you think the trips going great but its not
- because you're heading the wrong way
- you're heading for Chicago when you should be heading
for INDY
- the truth is - the trip is going terrible, because
you're further away from the destination than ever
- now, that's what was happening in the Corinthian church
- I said when we started this series a couple of months
ago that I wasn't going to present this material as if,
just because it was happening there means it is
happening here
- I don't believe that's true at all - at least not in the
sense that's it happening to the same degree
- but would you agree with me - that this is an area that
we all have to wrestle with?
- the issue of properly evaluating how we're doing?
- let's think about how we can avoid this kind of lifestyle
- II. Opposites of This Kind of Lifestyle
- INPUT - what are some opposites of this kind of
lifestyle, that if implemented, will help us avoid
the problem we've been talking about tonight?
- If a person is trying to avoid the kind of lifestyle
the Corinthians had - how will that affect their
relationship to the Word of God?
A. Hunger and thirst after righteousness
- Matt. 5:6
- INPUT - why would those who want to evaluate
themselves correctly have a strong desire for
the Word?
- Psalm 107:105 - thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light
unto my path
- Psalm 119:9 – Where withall shall a young man cleanse his
way? By taking heed thereto unto thy Word.
B. Being A learner
I John 1:7-9
- INPUT - what impact would the Corinthians' sin have on
their ability to solve interpersonal problems? (have
trouble solving problems because they weren't willing to
look at their side of the issue first)
C. Looking at your side first
Matt. 7:3
D. Having God's goals
- Rom. 8:28, 29, II Cor. 5:9
- I'm not saying it always comes down to choices,
but if it did come down to a choice between living
for God (and being called foolish by some) or
sinning (and being called wise), which would you
- in other words - is pleasing the Lord and doing
His will more important than what others think of
- let's think of a couple of examples
- Vacation - let's say you're on vacation with some
other families - and the men tend to be macho
types who treat their wives like hired servants
(without the hire!)
- let's say the wife is preparing a meal and
obviously needs some help
- what's the "Corinthian like husband" going to do
because he's in front of his buddies?"
(ignore the need)
- what's the godly husband going to do? (be loving to
his wife - even if he has to put up with some guff)
- let's take another one
- let's say a young person sits down to lunch with
some friends at school
- let's say these are guys that he really wants to
hang around with and this is the first time
they've ever asked him to eat with them
- what's the "Corinthian like young man" going to
do? (forget about praying, sneeze-pray)
- INPUT - if you asked the Corinthian-like young man
at the end of the day about what kind of day he
had, what do you think he might say?
- what would the godly young man do? (thank the Lord
for his food regardless of what everybody else thinks)
E. Dependent spirit
- Psalm 63:1 - "O God, thou art my God, early will
I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my
flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty
land, where no water is..."
F. Vibrant prayer life
- Psalm 55:17 - "Evening, and morning, and at
noon, will I pray, and cry aloud, and He shall
hear my voice."
G. Humility
- I Peter 5:6 - Humble yourselves, therefore,
under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt
you in due time.
H. Regular and Genuine Repentance
- See, the question tonight is - are you evaluating yourself
biblically and correctly or are you like the Corinthians
who thought they were doing were great when in fact they
were displeasing the Lord
- now I'm surely not saying that those who evaluate
themselves properly will:
- always come out with a tremendously low evaluation
- will always be down,
- and will be overly introspective,
- but we are talking about thinking long and hard about
whether we are like the Corinthians
- in many areas, and especially in the Christian life, it's
tremendously important that we make the right evaluation
- now, we've been studying through four chapters of this
book, and I think many of us would say:
- "its about time to give up on the Corinthians!
- "Paul needs to go start a new church somewhere - after
all-its easier to give birth than to raise the dead!"
- but of course that's not what the Lord does
- Instead, he lovingly intervenes
III. The Lord's Loving Intervention - vv. 14-21
A. sent someone to admonish them
- Paul says - I'm not trying to shame you - I'm
trying to admonish you like a father
- look how gracious the Lord was - even with
individuals who were so far out
- to send someone along to give them another
opportunity to evaluate themselves properly,
and repent
- because we have the book of II Cor, we know
that many in this church did repent
- II Cor. 7:9 - "Now I rejoice, not that you were
made sorry but that you sorrowed to
repentance, for you were made sorry after a
godly manner, that you might receive damage by
us in nothing."
- one clear evidence of individuals who are
living in line with this passage is that they
repent, and repent well
- a right evaluation often leads to thorough
- God was also gracious to these folks in that:
B. Sent someone to model
- Paul says in verse 16 - be ye followers of me
- he says in verse 17, "I'm sending Timothy, and I
want you to follow his example
- individuals who evaluate themselves properly, and
have the right goals--are getting behind the right
kind of models to help them

Celebrating my Hundredth Published Novel
by patricia Rosemoor
I'm not sure when I thought about how many novels I might write. At some point in my 30+ year career, as my backlist grew, I always thought of "100″ being the pinnacle of success – the number I wanted to reach someday.
I normally wrote 3 novels a year, but EYES OF THE TIGER didn't come easily. I got the idea when I saw the Bollywood movie OM SHANTI OM, a reincarnation story in which both good and bad karma played significant roles, generating ideas for a romantic thriller. I researched, made multiple tries to get it right, but finishing it eluded me.
I already had the idea and much of the research done when I traveled to India with another author and her husband. There I learned so much of what I couldn't know from book/Internet research. I absorbed the sights and sounds and talked to the people. We stayed in hotels that were once palaces, toured forts with incredible artwork especially in the separate quarters for women, and thrilled to a stay at a tiger preserve.
Over the next year, I began writing the story between contracts, but I kept struggling with combining romance and paranormal and thriller and historical details. I had written all of those elements before, but not all in one novel. How could I tell this story properly when I had three reincarnated souls from the British Raj? All six characters needed a voice. It was my biggest challenge. I was so busy with other work I let the project sit before returning to my story of a love that wouldn't die. I finally spent an entire year making EYES OF THE TIGER my priority.
I was thrilled that my obsession paid off when I went to contract with Tule Publishing Group. I finally got to celebrate EYES OF THE TIGER, my 100th published novel, which I consider my personal best and toughest accomplishment. I'm still amazed at what it took to get here… and though I've hit my "100," I've decided I'm not done yet…
My advice to all writers: continually challenge yourself with new ideas – things that might be difficult and scary. It makes the journey worthwhile.

From the outside, the iPad Pro looks an awful lot like the iPad Air and iPad mini. But are the similarities more than just surface deep?
As usual, iFixit was eager to supply an answer. Early on in the teardown process, it was pretty clear that the iPad Pro was a different beast. One of the biggest differences? Its clever self-adjusting, four-speaker audio system. It takes up a significant amount of room — so much that iFixit thinks that Apple could have boosted battery capacity by almost 50%.
That's not to say the iPad Pro needs that extra power. Apple was able to ensure that their largest iPad ever still offers battery life that's comparable to its smaller siblings. They did it by cramming in a pair of big batteries that total just over 10,000mAh and provide 38.8Whrs of juice — which iFixit notes is ever so slightly more than what Microsoft crammed into Surface Pro 4.
Though they've got a history of making it hard to remove batteries, these ones actually come out rather easily. The secret is that they're held in place by Command Adhesvie-like strips now. All it takes to free up a cell is a bit of gentle pulling on each of the four tabs underneath. It's a step in the right direction in terms of repairability.
In the narrow gap between the cells, you'll find what makes the iPad Pro tick. The logic board is positively packed with components, from the powerful 64-bit A9X processor to the Toshiba-supplied NAND to NFC and fast charging chips.
When the scores were tallied, the iPad Pro was given a repairability score of 3 — not great, but better than the Surface Pro 4. The usual suspects held it back: a panel that's fused to the LCD and copious amounts of glue to hold various components in place.

New Delhi. If sources are to be believed, shifting of IPL venue to match fixers' paradise UAE is a part of Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's bigger plan to catch fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim.
The sensational news has been confirmed by Home Ministry insiders, and is being seen as Shinde's most ambitious project, since attending music launch of Rajjo, till date.
Shinde had earlier promised a couple times that he would bring Dawood back to India and it was speculated by experts as the trump card by UPA before the general elections.
"Keeping in mind that Shinde ji himself is a movie buff, he came up with this plan by his own. He was hugely motivated after watching the movie D-Day, and has been thinking of a grand plan to nab the most wanted terrorist of India," disclosed a close aide of Shinde on condition of anonymity.
The aide further informed that BCCI had wanted to host IPL in South Africa again, as was done during the last general elections. However, it was Shinde who suggested UAE.
"In fact, the government could have provided security to IPL, but Shinde ji intentionally refused it, making a solid ground for shifting the venue to UAE, where Dawood goes when he gets bored of mujras in Pakistan," the aide further disclosed.
Shinde is banking upon old habits of Dawood, which include match fixing, which will pull him towards this secret trap called IPL.
"Shnde ji knows Dawood very well," the aide pointed out.
As per sources, an Indian match-fixer (not Gurunath Meiyeppan or Vindoo Dara Singh) has already been planted as a mole in the inner circles of the D Company, without Dawood's knowledge.
Not only the undercover match-fixer, Indian secret service agents have also reached major cities of UAE and are doing the groundwork.
"Shinde ji is personally taking care of each and every detail. He himself is undergoing the basic combat training, and most probably will lead the secret service team on the D-Day," a home ministry official told Faking News.
"From being associated with foot in mouth, he will become an icon of head over shoulders," the official claimed.
When asked for comments, the Union Home Minister confirmed that such a plan was in place. He thanked Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for the opportunity to catch Dawood.
"But don't tell anyone, we have to plan this in a secret manner," Shinde said addressing a press conference.

People Is What Makes the Difference
This is going to be a special blog post about the experience I've gone through during the two-days seminar held in Las Vegas I've just gotten back from. Quite honestly, I think this is one of the best benefits taken from being part of this Inner Circle family at Warrior Trading.
It's been such an immersive event that is really impossible to share everything we've gone through within these few lines below. However, I'm trying my best to get you a sense of what this one adventure has brought back to me now that I'm sitting at my home desk in Italy again.
First and foremost, it's about people. Because I've once again realized, great people is what makes the greatest communities a reality. And the importance of belonging to this one has been a game-changer to me.
And mind you, I'm not only referring to the senior day trading mentors or the other junior moderators but also to the profound contribution that each one of the participants delivered with such a high sense of commitment.
Especially during these days where distinguishing between what's virtual and what's real has become increasingly difficult, putting the name to each one of the faces and personalities has been huge.
Here it's impossible to mention every one of you but you need to know that it's been a great honor meeting you all and that I've been really fortunate to have been part of this memorable experience.
Living Vegas from a different perspective
It has been the third time for me in Vegas, the other two times I've stopped through there it was for vacations trip only and I've never spent more than two days in the city. In fact, anyone who knows me enough will be aware that I'm not a gambler and that I don't enjoy doing that very much.
As my friend John L10 often says:" We're not traders but risk managers instead", I believe that's what has distinguished us from the 99% of the other people hanging out in Las Vegas! And that's what make traders very different from casino gamblers when proven to be successful strategies are applied with perseverance and discipline.
It has been awesome living the city from a total different perspective and I am leaving it with a true sense of gratitude for the outstanding opportunity that I've been given. I feel that I have received brand new "aces in the hole" (what's better place to get those from than Vegas???) for bringing my trading to next level.
"If you know how to live in Vegas, you can have the best time." – Tony Curtis
See you in chat-room.
Trade safe,
Roberto Barbaro

Gardening with young children can plant perennial memories — not only for parents and grandparents, but especially for youngsters.
A garden exposes children to a special space distinctly different from their everyday, increasingly denaturalized experiences. Gardening with children passes on to them something from an older time, when our lives were less hectic in pace and more natural in rhythm.
Gardens can be a magical place for children. What they see, touch, smell, taste and even hear in a garden can converge into a healthy, inspiring sense of wonder.
It is good fortune, indeed, that there are excellent garden books designed for young children. Here is a sample worth a second look when thinking about gifting or reading aloud to a child at this time of year.
For kids between the ages of 3 and 7, the new lap-sized board-book edition of Eve Bunting's Flower Garden offers a lavishly illustrated verse-story of a father and daughter planting flowers together to create a window box as a surprise birthday present for the little girl's mother. Expect to be asked to read this one aloud again and again.
Also for 3-to-7 year olds, the new lap-sized board-book edition of Lois Ehlert's Planting a Rainbow gorgeously celebrates the diverse colors and shapes of garden plants. In this story, a year passes as a mother and a daughter plant bulbs, order seeds, watch first growths and enjoy summer's bounty. A word of caution: youngsters might ask to plant something now.
Written by an elementary-school science teacher and designed for preschoolers, Jack's Garden explores planting in the backyard. It ends with glorious blooms. Garden visitors, especially birds, are also highlighted. Depicted activities both below and above the ground will fascinate youngsters, who might also find this book suitable for early-reading efforts.
A translated 19th-century fantasy based on a quilt, Mother Earth and Her Children features the seasonal cycle. Mother Earth's children scurry about readying bees, ladybugs and other insects for their spring work. The children themselves eventually emerge as flowering plants, which (like everything else) must once more return to Mother Earth. Children between 4 and 8 should especially enjoy delving into the details of the intricate close-up images from the quilt.
For children between 6 and 9, there's The Runaway Garden, a funny, cautionary story which is drawing awards as easily as sunflowers attract bees. So far it has received the Growing Good Kids Children's Book Award, the USA Book News Award and the Mom's Choice Award.
The young girl in The Runaway Garden is unhappy with her chores: "'I really, really hate this job!' I yelled and threw a fit. / 'The work's too hard! My fingers hurt! I don't like this one bit! / If Grandpa makes me pull more weeds, there is no way I'll stay. / I'll pack a bag of dolls and things and leave this very day!'" The knowing grandfather sits down beside her and begins his tale of the night all the plants in the garden planned to runaway.
Of course nothing goes according to their plan. The plan of The Runaway Garden, on the other hand, works out perfectly.
Gardening tips
This is a great time of year to prowl your neighborhood looking for bags and bags of leaves. They will make a great addition to any compost pile and can even be used as mulch and placed between rows as a mud-free walkway in the vegetable garden. You will be improving your garden soil and helping the environment as well.
Have a favorite gardening tip you'd like to share? Texas Gardener's Seeds is seeking brief gardening tips from Texas gardeners to use in future issues.

Did You Know...
Earthworms are a great aid to improving soil aeration. Earthworms burrow down six feet or more, leaving tunnels as a way for air to enter. When you add organic matter to the soil, you automatically multiply the number of earthworms in your garden.

The Southern Kitchen
By William D. Adams and Thomas R. Leroy
A kitchen garden, or potager, is a celebration of the seasons: brimming with vegetables, herbs, flowers, and even fruit trees, it's our link with nature and a source for fresh produce. The kitchen garden has always been an important part of life in the rural South, at times meaning the difference between being well-fed or going to bed hungry. In recent times, the kitchen garden has become more fashionable and now more and more homeowners are reaping the delicious rewards of growing their own food.
A kitchen garden needs little more than a small raised bed, so an aspiring gardener with only a modest backyard will have plenty of room to get started. If you have more space on your hands, then you can include some produce requiring a little more space like fruit trees, corn or pumpkins.
In the book, the authors with take you through the process of starting your very own kitchen garden from location to soil preparation to planting and then to harvest. It is also loaded with useful information on propagation, pest control and is laced with mouth-watering recipes and beautiful color photographs.

Countless poets, musicians, scholars, philosophers, theologians, realists and romanticists alike, have a little something to say about love. Whether it be the cliché cheesy lines or its nitty-gritty portrayal. The idea of love is so great that people of different cultures have different definitions and ways of expressing it. Even sa ato generation karon, kanang mga emojis and long posts in social media kay nahimong the new norm sa atong expression sa gugma. Unya kanang sa una (ambot kung hangtod karon) nga kung dili mo "facebook official" kay dili pa mo maingon na tinood mag-uyab.
But right now, we don't care about that. We're here to dive into the biological process that govern love, or should I say "The Biology of Love".
Strictly speaking, it would have been "The Biochemistry and Endocrinology of Love", but then again, it would be too long and sound less catchy.
Yes, the impulses carried by our brain and the hormones secreted by different endocrine organs play important, and often invaluable, roles in the expression of the emotion we know as "Love".
Let's begin. Ngano mahigugma man 'ta?
Before ko mopadayon hinumdumi nga scientific ni nga paglantaw sa gugma ha? So please throw personal predilections out the window for now, okay? Okay. In a scientific point of view, the easiest and most appropriate definition would be: love is an emergent property of an ancient cocktail (di ni katong makahubog ha?) of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. Ha? Unsa? Kana bang gugma kay gagikan sa klasi klasi na mga chemicals sa ato lawas.
We have different motivations to love. Ang uban gikapoy og baklay sa beska maong nangitag uyab nga naay motor. Ang uban kay nangitag ra lingaw, ang uban kay nangitag lifetime partner, ang uban…ang uban. There are different reasons why one loves, but there are three major motivations for love.
The first is lust: Kahibaw na ta unsa ni. The person with lust as motivation only seeks sexual union with any appropriate member of the species.
The second is attraction: Uy! Gwapo/Gwapa! A person with this motivation selects partners (or crushes, ahem) and focuses attention on genetically appropriate individuals.
The last one is attachment: Murag linta! A person who is attached (dili sad literal nga nagatapot) sustains the relationship long enough to complete parental duties. Pang-pamilya nga gugma.
How it starts
Love starts differently for men and women. While men tend to focus on visual stimuli (timan-i kung asa na sila galantaw), women focus more on attention, memory, and emotion. Mao nang kung mag-effort gani ang usa ka laki sa bayi in ways meaningful sa ila, kiligon na so take note guys. A courting man would tend to focus more on youth and beauty (that's why you'd hear us men say "Gwapaha gud niya bai" before trying our luck and trying to get a number, kung dili sad maulaw). Women, on the other hand, are more attracted to status and resources, which could mean wealth, popularity, or being brainy (mga bros dili gyud diay tungod nga dili ta gwapo maong wala ta gisugot, wala lang gyud tay motor).
Attraction or Distraction?
Love is exciting. Love makes us feel good. Love has even been called a drug. Which is kind of true since love has a mechanism similar to that of addictions.
Love affects our reward system in the brain, it's the part that makes us want to do things because it makes us happy. Its effects? A reduction in emotional judgement and reduced fear, reduced depression and enhanced mood.
Simply put that's why we do stupid things for love, and why your in-love classmate doesn't care if he or she failed an exam as long as bae makes pa-kilig, perhaps a reality we can all reflect to. Love makes us ignore the need to assess the social validity of a person. Kung naa kay migo/miga unya wala gud ka kasabot nganong ganahan siya sa usa ka tawo bisag sige na kag ingon nga maot siyag dagway, bahog ilok, or bisag unsa pa man pero wa gihapon gyud siyay labot, gugma na.
Love shuts down the areas of the brain that don't make us feel good, that is negative emotions and avoiding critical social assessment but triggers the mechanisms for pleasure reward and appetitive motivation. In other words happy lang palagi.
But how does this happen?
Love makes me feel
Dopamine, the "feel good hormone", is an important part in the reward process of the brain. It is integral when cooking up love. Of course, this means that this is released when we do something that feels good to us. In this case, spending time with someone you love. Aminin, basta mag-uban mong crush kay lipay gud kaayo ka.
This chemical make us feel kilig, energetic, and euphoric. This may even lead to a loss of appetite and inability to sleep. Kay naa nalang kanunay sa FB sige ug stalk kang crush.
In an experiment where people were made to see pictures of various people, including their beloved, it was shown that the ventral segmental area, the brain's reward system, (mao ni siya ang lugar sa imo brain nga gasulti og: this feels good, I like this, let's keep doing this, kung ganahan ka sa usa ka butang) lighted up like Christmas lights on Christmas Eve when they saw the pictures of their beloved. This means that your beloved has a profound effect on experiencing happiness, and this is true for early intense (about 7.4 months ave.; apil ngari ang isang linggog pag-ibig) and on the later and not so intense love (28.8 months and more; ang pinaka nindot ani nga example kay ang inyo lolo ug lola).
With this being said, ganahan man gud ta malipay, and since love makes our body produce dopamine, we are naturally drawn to love and be loved. We constantly chase for the feeling that would please us and make us a bit elated. Mao nang dili ta mahutdan og crush and why we have the romance section anywhere from books to movies to scientific articles apparently, and tragically, people who settle for less than what they deserve.
Attachment and Commitment
Okay, so I might get a bit technical in this so grab your best friend Merriam and a pack of tissues. Pair bonding, as scientists will call permanent relationships between two animals of the same species (I personally prefer to call it marriage), is defined as an enduring preferential association (relationship) between two sexually mature adults (so mga children bawal pa tayo neto di pa tayo adults) and is characterized by selective contact, affiliation, and connection over a stranger (or bisag kinsa for that matter). This is then associated with other complex behaviors that include being protective with the partner and biparental care for a child.
Even in this, hormones have an effect that dictates it. Oxytocin, nicknamed "cuddle hormone", affects our long term relationships (including friendships). This particular hormone is produced during sex, childbirth, and breastfeeding. It's a weird trio of activities, I know, but they do have one thing in common: they are precursors to bonding.
Oxytocin and another hormone, Vasopressin, is responsible for the maintenance of long term relationships. These two hormones have complimentary effects that ensure that partners will live happily together. Vasopressin promotes action among the two. It is associated with physical and emotional mobilization and supports vigilance and behaviors required to guard a partner, territory, or offspring. (Fun fact: Those hormones also conserve your urine)
Oxytocin, on the other hand, produces the more relaxed effects that we connect with love. It allows us to become immobile without fear, to feel more relaxed with the people we love. It makes us feel less anxious and harbor trust.
It is also worth noting that the action of Oxytocin and Vasopressin is not limited to romantic relationships as it can also be applied to friendships and filial relationships, so it's high time we break the stigma for singles. Love can exist more than in the terms of couplehood.
We can always search and try to find out the true meaning of love, to understand the complexities of how it occurs. But then, love is love, we may not understand it completely, but we feel it. Carter and Porges wrote in their article that humans fail to flourish without love even if all the basic needs are met. It is underneath its warmth that man had flourished.
Taken from The Neuroendocrinology of Love, and The Biochemistry of Love: An Oxytocin Hypothesis.

The New York Times April 22, 2016
All the radar systems, lighthouses, barracks, ports and airfields that China has set up on its newly built island chain in the South China Sea require tremendous amounts of electricity, which is hard to come by in a place hundreds of miles from the country's power grid.
Beijing may have come up with a solution: floating nuclear power plants.
A state-owned company, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, is planning to build a fleet of the vessels to provide electricity to remote locations including offshore oil platforms and the contentious man-made islands, the state-run newspaper Global Times reported on Friday.
The paper quoted an executive at the company, Liu Zhengguo, as saying that "demand is pretty strong" for the floating power stations, which would be built by one of its subsidiaries.
In January, Xu Dazhe, the director of the China Atomic Energy Authority, told reporters in Beijing that China was planning to develop offshore floating nuclear energy plants, saying they "must undergo a rigorous, scientific evaluation," but also linking these to China's desire to become a "maritime power."
Mr. Xu said at the time that developing China's nuclear power-generating capacity was part of the country's five-year economic development plan, which runs through 2020. China has more civilian nuclear power stations under construction than any other country.

On January 23, 1995, Guy Paul Morin was acquitted in the murder of his 9 year old neighbor Christine Jessop. His 10 year legal battle finally came to an end when new DNA technology proved that he wasn't responsible for the brutal killing and sexual assault of Christine.
Christine disappeared from her home on October 3, 1984, shortly after she was dropped off by a school bus in front of her house in Queensville, Ontario. Queensville is a small farming town about one hour north of Toronto and the disappearance shocked the community.
Christine's body was found nearly three months later in a desolate field more than 50 kms from her home. An autopsy would determine that she had been stabbed in the chest. She had also been sexually assaulted. Here is a CBC news report that aired after the discovery.
Police soon focused on Christine's neighbour Guy Paul Morin. Christine's mom had mentioned that he was weird and others had commented that Morin didn't help with the search for Christine or attend her funeral.
Guy Paul Morin was arrested on April 22, 1985. Police interrogated him all night before parading him in front of the media with wrinkled clothes and tired eyes. This was a very high profile case for Durham Regional Police which didn't even have an official Homicide Squad.
Before his trial, Morin was held in jail where an undercover police officer was planted in his cell. The officer would later testify that he asked Morin how he handles stress and then Morin said "I just redrum the innocent." Redrum is from the movie The Shining and spells murder backwards.
Two other inmates also told authorities that Morin broke down one night and confessed to killing Christine. Both men were known liars with anti-social behavior but their testimony would eventually be used to convict Morin.

Police are calling for people who visited Legoland Windsor on the day two six-year-old girls were sexually assaulted to check their photos for vital information on the incident.
Thames Valley Police is reminding people of an e-fit of a man who allegedly sexually assaulted the girls at the Castaway Camp in Pirate Shores at the park between 12.15pm and 12.30pm on Thursday, August 11.
The man is white, in his teens or early 20s, and is possibly under 5ft 8ins tall.
He was wearing dark-coloured, slim-fitting trousers, a dark-coloured T-shirt and trainers.
A man police initially arrested in connection with the incident has since been released without charge.
There were 14,200 visitors to the park on the day and police the man travelled to the park with friends or family.
Police want families to check their pictures from the event to see if they recognise the man.
Anyone with information is asked to call Det Insp Penny Mackenzie on 101 and quoting reference number 705 (12/08).
Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Penny Mackenzie of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, said: "We continue to appeal for the public's help to find the person responsible for this offence.
"We believe the offender travelled to Legoland Windsor on the day of the offence with others; either his own family or with friends, so someone will know who he is. If you recognise the face of the man in the e-fit or the description given, please contact police immediately.
"If you went to Legoland Windsor on Thursday, August 11 please check any photographs you may have taken to see if you can spot anyone who looks like the man in this e-fit.
If you have any photographs you want to share with us please email them to firstname.lastname@example.com
"We are working closely with Legoland Windsor to progress this investigation and this includes a review of the CCTV. About 14,200 people attended the theme park that day so this will be a painstaking process and one that needs to be carried out thoroughly and carefully.
"I would like to thank the public and the media for their help with our investigation so far and I would urge anyone with any information to come forward.
"If you do not want to speak directly to the police you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. No personal details are taken, information is not traced or recorded and you will not go to court."
Anyone with information is asked to call Det Insp Mackenzie on 101 and quoting reference number 705 (12/08).
Alternatively, people who do not want to give their names can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Ear Training
You can master the art of hearing music in about 10 days
- Press START to generate a lesson
- Touch the notes and start comparing sounds
- Listen for notes that sound the same or are close
- Finally, drag and drop the letter onto the empty note
No. At first, it is OK to just do three or so. Once you get used to listening, you can add two more lessons and slowly work your way up to do all 10 in about 30 minutes.
You most likely won't recognize all the notes at once. Most likely, it will begin with one note. Often, the first note we build as the inner reference is the C note. After that, the game gets easier and you will start to score higher.
Relax, this can happen to anyone because our focus and fine hearing is connected to many other things. If you don't experience success, then you should make sure that you are not distracted (find a quite place or use ear phones) and try for two more days.
