Keeping a Balanced Diet when Eating at Truck Stops
Throughout your trucking career, you're probably going to see hundreds of truck stops. While these facilities were designed to meet the basic needs of truckers everywhere, they don't always offer the healthiest choices. Here are some tips that can help you maintain some balance in your diet when eating at truck stops is your only option.
Plan Your Meals around Your Schedule
For many average shift-workers, it's easy to plan breakfast, lunch, and dinner is at pretty much the same times each day. However, when you're a trucker, mealtimes can vary based on the job. A good time to think about mealtimes is when you're planning your route. Plan to eat every few hours, so that you're not depriving yourself of necessary sustenance. For a long-haul or overnight job, this may mean that you have four meals in a day or that they are at "odd" hours. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you're eating when you need to. Building mealtimes into your travel plans also
Keep an Eye on Portion Sizes
Truck stops across the country are famous for their diners, and the typical American diner serves colossal portions. Keep in mind that there is nothing wrong with having leftovers. Eating too much at once can make you sluggish and tired, neither of which are good things when you're trying to drive safely. Eat until you feel satisfied and then stop. You can save the leftovers for your next meal, and probably save yourself some time!
Keep Proper Nutrition in Mind
It's important to remember that there are nutrients that your body needs. Many years ago, it was almost impossible to get anything that wasn't full of sugar or deep fried at truck stops. Fortunately, most truck stops nowadays have significantly more healthy options. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are crucial for maintaining a balanced diet. While all that fried stuff may look appetizing, it is essential that you choose to prioritize your health.

Fee hikes at SJSU
San Jose ,SJSU ,Soapbox Prophet ,Tech ,blog ,,Web 2.0,,Andrew Venegas,New Media, journalism,Andrew,Venegas,vlog,fee increase,Student Union
There's a great article in today's Spartan Daily about the new renovation proposed for the Student Union, along with a rather large $240 fee that students are going to be paying shortly.
Whether you're for or against the proposal, the increase may have dramatic effects on the student body. Those already struggling to hold down jobs and attend the University may be forced to increase their workload while decreasing their units.
And while the proposed facelift for the SU may have the consequence of attracting higher income full-time students, it may also shut the doors of opportunity in the face of many lower income students in the San Jose area.

What foreigners who live here really think of the British way of life
A SURVEY this week of expats living in Britain found that although 69 per cent of them liked the country there were some significant drawbacks: the food, the weather and a heavy drinking culture.
A SURVEY this week of expats living in Britain found that although 69 per cent of them liked the country there were some significant drawbacks: the food, the weather and a heavy drinking culture.
The research, conducted by a visa application help website, even found that the British taste for sarcasm baffled many of those who have come here from abroad.
But it can't be all bad. We sent reporters out around the nation to find out what foreigners living here really think about their adopted country - with surprising results.
While one of our sample made special mention of the greatness of Scotch eggs, another worries that we allow in too many immigrants and a third thinks English men are wonderful.
And guess what? One of them even likes the weather.
Here, they give their own verdicts on Britain…
MICHELLE ANTHOFER, 24, a law student and part-time bar maid from Toronto, Canada, has lived in Holborn, central London, for two years.
My favourite thing about Britain is the Scotch eggs. I'd never had one before I came here. Everyone rips the British food but I love it, especially in cosy British pubs.
The high street shops are great too as there are some here such as Topshop that we don't have back home and I love a cheeky Primark.
The only thing I don't like, which sounds like a cliche, is the weather but as a Canadian I feel spoiled here with the mild winters you have. I don't have to pile on loads of layers. I'm still loving that.
MOHAMED DEGHIDY, 34, is an Egyptian waiter who has been here for seven years and lives in south London.
I enjoy living here but things are starting to change. The Government has now opened up the country to everyone and done it too fast.
Since more countries have joined the EU a lot of poor people have come here and if it carries on they will bring the country down.
I think Britain should look after the people that are already here before letting other people in. We are working, paying our taxes but they come and don't pay tax.
It turns into a bigger problem if the Government keeps doing what it has been doing.
LIAN TANG, 24, from China has lived in Manchester for a year where she is a student.
I adore the UK. I just love the atmosphere, the culture, the art, the history. The atmosphere is so free. There is also beautiful scenery in places such as Cornwall and in Scotland.
The people here are kind and friendly.
The only things I don't like about the UK are the weather and the food. I just ate some awful fish and chips.
LERDAL AVCI, 39, was born in Turkey but has been here for 12 years and runs a cafe in Cardiff.
The UK people haven't got the same care and attention to their work and their lives as we do. Everyone is waiting to clock off. As soon as their shift ends work is out of their mind.
It's the same for the world around them. A smashed bus stop or graffiti in the street is ignored because people don't understand what hard work someone puts in to keeping things in order.
SHUROOQ ALALAWY, 21, from Oman, has lived in Chorlton, Manchester, for five months and is a student.
In the UK you have the opportunity to do anything for yourself. In my country, if I want to go to the bank I must take my brother and he has to do everything for me just because I'm a woman. Here I can do everything for myself.
I like the weather here. I love it when it is rainy, cold and cloudy. The people are also lovely and friendly. I find British people very helpful.
HARRIET DAVIES, 62, an American, who runs the New York Deli in one of Cardiff's Victorian arcades is marking her 30th year of British citizenship.
I love Britain. It's the most civilised place in the world. Even if I won the lottery I would not move. I grew up in the American South. I moved here for the gun control and less extreme weather.
I think that values and politeness are very important to British people and I really appreciate that.
The Welsh welcome is second to none.
I love Britain. It's the most civilised place in the world
JIANFENG LI, 33, has worked in a restaurant in London's Chinatown for 10 years and lives in Stratford, east London.
I find British people very friendly and I love an English breakfast and fish and chips. But I don't like it when I finish work at 11pm or midnight and people are drunk in the street. It's not always nice and they make a lot of noise. I don't worry for me but I'm concerned for my wife at night over here. Overall though I like living in Britain. It's much better than back home.
LUCIA NORIEGA, 25, a beautician from Peru, has lived in Cardiff, Wales, for nine years.
I'd be lying if I said the weather was great but I love the freedom of living in the UK. It's so welcoming.
Experiencing the later end of my teens here was difficult. I was used to rules and my family coming first. My parents were owed respect and I never answered back.
But British teenagers have so much more freedom and that's great to express themselves but staying out late and lack of rules, that's not always a good thing.
ESTELLE GAITS, 21, is a restaurant hostess from the Pyrenees in the South of France and has lived in Plaistow, east London, for one year.
I'm from a small village so it's great to be in the big city. The nightlife is amazing and I love the English men. They are better dressed than French men and the English accent makes me swoon. I met my English boyfriend here.
People say the Brits moan but you should hear the French. Even though I live in Plaistow which is supposed to be a dodgy area I feel safe, much safer than in Paris for example.
The only thing I do really miss is the French cuisine. I miss my bread and cheese and you just don't get the same products here. I also find the food more expensive in the UK.
CAMILLE LACOTE, 20, an office worker from Nantes in France, has been living in Liverpool for three months.
I love how friendly the British are. It's wonderful the terms of endearments you have. To be called "love", "sweetheart" and "darling" by a stranger really brightens your day. I love the culture and how many things there are to see and do but I dislike how much people drink in pubs and the way some of the women dress. It's a bit too revealing."
KHALAL GULLI, 39, from Iraq, is a shop worker and has lived in Newcastle for 12 years.
I like how it is a lot safer than my own country and the fact that everybody is treated fairly. However, I don't like the weather. One minute it is hot and the next it is raining. It changes all the time.
I also think people in Britain use too much potato in their food. I don't like the idea of having things like sausage and black pudding for breakfast.
VICTORIA ODUMADE, 30, from Nigeria moved to Kenton, Newcastle, eight years ago and is a child minder.
I think the education system needs to be improved. They do not push children hard enough at school. There is too much drinking and smoking too. It is hard to tell your children why it is bad for them when there are so many people doing it. It is confusing for the children. I don't like how people don't go to church any more either.
YANG BO, 25, from southern China, has been here for two years and is studying electrical engineering at the University of Liverpool.
The culture here is amazing and I really like the literature.
Shakespeare is one of my favourites and I love Mr Bean. Like me, Rowan Atkinson studied electrical engineering at university. But people here are lazier. You get too many holidays, especially students.

Amaldass, M *Dr.Neema Gnanadev, P.hD
'When a woman moves forward the family moves and the village moves and the nation moves,' asserted Pandit Nehru. Development/Upliftment of women is an essential ingredient of human development. Entrepreneurship development among the rural women folk would strengthen the village economy and promote regional development. The women entrepreneurs have proved that there is "a source of immense untapped power in the womanhood of India" (Margaret, 1992). There is no doubt that the women of India, who had so long been shut up in seclusion, can shoulder actively, the responsibilities not only of their own families but also of the country. Women are the backbone of the socio-economic-cultural aspects in the hill scenario. The subsistence agriculture which leads to low incomes and unstable incomes, which in turn lead to a sizeable out-migration of male members that leads to only women headed families behind, and the role of women in the household economy becomes more important(Rawat, 2004). In the midst of limited opportunities, tough terrains and lack of resources, the contribution of women entrepreneurs to the society is enormous.
An attempt was made to highlight the strategies and development aspects of rural women entrepreneurs in Almora district. Entrepreneurs who are engaged in self employment and innovative entrepreneurial activities were selected for the study. A total of 50 samples were selected and the data was collected through interview and focus groups. The study reveals various aspects related to rural women entrepreneurship and constraints that need attention so to empower women in their efforts toward integral development.
Key words: rural women entrepreneurship, women empowerment, IGAs, self employment.
Economically empowered women contributed to the wealth and well-being not only of their families, but also of their nations (Blumberg, 1995). The opportunities and privileges provided to the women especially in the rural areas are growing rapidly that the job seekers are turning into job creators. Women contribution to the social and economic development of societies is more than half as compared to that of men by virtue of their double roles in the productive and reproductive spheres. They are flourishing as trend setters plunging into skill exploring new avenues of development and economic participation. Their contribution to the all round development of the family, society and their involvement in the national development cannot be undermined. According to a recent study, improvement in women's economic position may not only increase their happiness, but also alone enhance their status (Sharma, 2000:p.22)
Among women, Dalit women are in the lowest socio-economic strata of Indian caste society. They are downtrodden among the downtrodden (Nandu, 1998) suffer oppression on the basis of gender, caste and class (Narasimham,1999) and face the dual core of the struggles for survival and the social threats of injustice and inequality. Gender inequality is displayed in morality, basic facility, special opportunity, professions, ownership, even household matters (Amartya Sen, 2001) and Gender disparity includes the discrimination of dalit women in all spheres. They are looked down upon as vulnerable, voiceless and dependent. More than 70 percent of Dalits are estimated in below poverty line (BPL), as compared to 48 percent of the general population (Suresh, 1996). They have been culturally negated, socially oppressed and economically exploited by the powerful especially in the rural areas. Rural dalit women bear the brunt of living below the poverty line (Sakuntala, 1999), are generally engaged in their traditional jobs (Sunderaj, 2000) and often vulnerable to violence (Amnesty International, 2001) and could hardly protest the injustice done to them (Ramaiah, 1998).
Women entrepreneurs have grown in large number over the last decade and increasingly the entrepreneurial potentials of women have changed the rural economies in many parts of India. Women entrepreneurs have been making a significant impact in all segments of the economy in India. Not only are few women involved in running non-agricultural enterprises of any kind, the scale of operation of women operated units is distinctly very tiny, particularly in rural areas.
"My greatest hope is women. They want a helping hand to lift them out of the well"
- Mahatma Gandhi
The meaning and definition of an entrepreneur is common to all irrespective of the sex, caste, religion and race. The wisdom of entrepreneurship is not gender specific. In general, those who are playing the entrepreneurial role can be called as entrepreneurs, irrespective of their sex. Hence, there is no need to define the woman entrepreneurs separately. However, in the practical sense, the woman entrepreneur is regarded as a woman who accepts or taking a challenging role in any business venture to become economically strong by making suitable adjustments in both family and social life (P.Balamurugan, 2008).
Women owned businesses are highly increasing in the economies of almost all countries. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually been changing with the growing sensitivity to the role and economic status in the society. Skill, knowledge and adaptability in business are the main reasons for women to emerge into business ventures. "Women Entrepreneur" is a person who accepts challenging role to meet her personal needs and become economically independent. A strong desire to do something positive is an inbuilt quality of entrepreneurial women, who is capable of contributing values in both family and social life. With the advent of media, women are aware of their own traits, rights and also the work situations.
In former days, for Women there were 3 Ks- Kitchen, Kids, Knitting, then came 3 Ps- Powder, Papad, Pickles and now at present there are 4 Es- Electricity, Electronics, Energy, Engineering. Indian women had undergone a long way and are becoming increasingly visible and successful in all spheres and have shifted from kitchen to higher level of professional activities. Women entrepreneurs are fast becoming a force to reckon with in the business world and are not only involved in business for survival but to satisfy their inner urge of creativity and to prove their capabilities. Educated Women is contributing to a great extent to the social transformation and in the future, will be seen that more women venturing into areas traditionally dominated by men.
Today, many women have established their own economy i.e., entrepreneurial empire and are now ruling their world as they wished to. The hidden entrepreneurial potentials of women have gradually been changing with the growing sensitivity to the role and economic status in the society. Skill, knowledge and adaptability in business are the main reasons for women to emerge into business ventures.
Women represent half the resources and half the potential in all the societies. Efforts to promote greater equality between women and men can also contribute to the overall development of human societies. The empowerment and autonomy of women and the improvement of women's social, economic and political status is essential for the achievement of sustainable development in all areas of life (Anita,H.S, 1999).
'When a woman moves forward the family moves and the village moves and the nation moves,' asserted Pandit Nehru. Upliftment of women is an essential ingredient of human development. Entrepreneurship development among the rural women force would strengthen the village economy and promote regional development. Earlier, involvement of rural women in entrepreneurship was limited. In most cases especially in developing countries like India women are victims of social prejudice and discrimination. In the past two decades, rural women have made their mark in different walks of life- thanks to the growing level of education, social reforms, political awaking, legal framework and safeguards.
The SHG movement has given an impetus in enhancing the equality status of women as participants, decision makers, and beneficiaries in the democratic, economic, social and cultural spheres of life. Being assisted by SHGs and loans from banks, rural women have taken up income generating activities and small scale entrepreneurial programs to increase their economic base. Given to the various dimensions of hill situations, this initiative becomes one of the viable strategies for the development of the hill economy. Further this would pave the way toward their self sustenance and sustainable development to a large extent.
NABARD initiated the Self-Help Groups (SHG) – Bank Linkage Programme in 1992 to encourage thrift and savings amongst the rural poor and to supplement their credit needs through banking systems. It envisaged that Voluntary Organisations (VA), Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) and Self-Help Promotional Institutions (SHPI) can play the role of facilitating the rural poor into SHG process. NABARDs SHG-Bank linkage programme vouchsafes the group approach as an effective mediation for promoting rural entrepreneurs. Group approach facilitates larger outreach, reduction in bank transaction costs, group savings as collateral and peer pressure ensures timely repayment.
Rural women need credit and credit related services to adopt entrepreneurial activities. With the availability of a good framework, entrepreneurs could create new jobs for themselves and others and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities in the society. Although the framework is quite good to meet credit needs, the problem of getting financed by the Banks and availing Institutional finance is still very difficult for rural entrepreneurs.
Uttaranchal, the northern sub-region of Uttar Pradesh came into existence as 27th state of Indian Republic on 9th November 2000. The name got changed from Uttaranchal to Uttarakhand in 2007. The state is situated in Central Himalaya of Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) and mostly comprises the hills of Central Himalaya. The state has a population of 10,086,292 (51,37,773 Males+ 43,25,924 Females), and the sex ratio is 1000:963 (Census-2011).
Kumaon or Kumaon is one of the two divisions of Uttarakhand state. It's headquarters is located at beautiful lake city Nainital. Kumaon division consists of six districts- Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh and Udham Singh Nagar. As per the 2011 census, the total population is 622506, and 259898 respectively.
Life for most people is one of hand to mouth struggle and misery. Neither there are industries nor large flat land for cultivation in the hills. As a result, it is well evident that the demand for both food and non-food products of people living in rural areas of Uttarakhand is largely met through remittances which are sent by migrant family members of different households. In this sense a study postulates that is good that a workable population are benefitted through the money order economy.(G.S.Mehta 1999).
In Uttarakhand, the main thrust of the women's empowerment and entrepreneurship program is on setting up SHGs and in making credit facilities available to them so that they can engage in economic activities. Nautiyal's study (2003) raises the issue that the fact that micro-credit is focused almost exclusively on women highlights that women are targeted because they are the best repayers of loans and are thus viewed as the most efficient means of making an impact on families and households. The needs of women are therefore not the central concern of micro-credit. By targeting women, it is the institutions, the family, and the economy that benefit from the poor women's own savings and resources.
Hence the study is undertaken to find out the multiple constraints that are faced by small scale rural entrepreneurs in entrepreneurship management.
A total of 50 women small scale entrepreneurs were selected from the universe of 102 women entrepreneurs who are doing good in Baisyachana Block of Almora district. The data were collected through primary and secondary sources. The main source of primary data was interview and focus groups. The secondary sources include the reports of NGOs, District Rural Development Authority, NABARD and data from banks.
Objectives of the study
- To know the growth of rural small scale entrepreneurs
- To analyse the aspects involved in entrepreneurship management in the background of hill scenario.
- To find out the constraints faced by women entrepreneurs and to give suggestions
The following aspects are covered in the analysis.
- Motivating factors
Chart 1 Motivating factors for Entrepreneurship
Source: Primary data
The above Chart-1 highlights that 21 respondents had started the entrepreneurial activities due to arising financial needs, 13 respondents due to family poor conditions, 12 to become economically independent and 04 respondents for self actualization.
- Factors hindering entrepreneurship
The Chart-2 shows that 20% of the respondents voiced that availability of marketing facilities is a major hindrance followed by lack of well-knit, bank-credit linkage and lack of family supports, 18 and 16 percentage respectively.
A total of 10 respondents agreed that traditional mindset and lack of professional trainings are hindrances. According to 14% of the respondents the tough geographical conditions are unfavourable for entrepreneurship. 12% of the respondents opined that illiteracy and lack of education is the hindrance.
Chart 2 Factors hindering Entrepreneurship
Source: Primary data
- Sources of Credit
Chart 3 Source of Credit
Source: Primary data
As shown in Chart-3, 21 respondents amounting to 42% of the total respondents relied on SHG inter loan for credit purposes. This is due to easy access and saving capacity of the members. But the good trend ought to be accessing banks for the inter loan must be limited to consumption purposes. A total 18 respondents opined that they accessed banks for credit needs. Atotal of 14 respondents from other institutions such as NABARD programs, and 4 respondents received financial assistance from relatives and friends.
- Type of Entrepreneurial Activities
Chart 4 Type of Entrepreneurial activities
Source: Primary data
In the Chart-4 it could be noted that 12 respondents amounting to 24% of the total respondents and 10 respondents amounting to 20% of the total respondents are involved in Tailoring & Embroidery and Wool knitting & warm cloths respectively. This is due to the cold climatic conditions as well as the demand from tourists for hand-knit woollen warm cloths. A total of 8 and 6 respondents are involved in off-season vegetables and mushroom cultivation respectively. A total of 5 respondents are involved in petty shop business. 4 respondents are involved in masala packing units. A total of 2 respondents are involved in pickle making units.
- Sources for Trainings
Training is an important component that leads to the success of the entrepreneurial activity. As shown in the Chart 5, 46% of the respondents obtained trainings from Non-Governmental Organisations, followed by 28% from Government bodies such as NABARD, 20% from Bankers and 6% of the respondents did not undergo any training. Capacity building trainings given by NGOs goes a long way in enabling the rural women entrepreneurs to plunge boldly into entrepreneurial activities.
Chart 5 Sources from trainings obtained
Source: Primary data
- Supportive sources of Entrepreneurship
Chart 6 Supportive Sources of Entrepreneurship
Source: Primary data
The chart-6 shows that 22 respondents rely on NGOs for ongoing trainings and capacity building programs, 13 respondents opined that they benefit from NABARD schemes and trainings, 9 respondents rely on bank schemes and programs and 6 respondents depend on family and friends for supports.
- Difficulties in repayment
Chart 7 Delay in repayment
Source: Primary data
As shown in the chart-7, the respondents expressed various reasons for delay in repayments. A total of 14 respondents due to non cooperation from husbands and family members, 11 respondents due to consumption purposes, 10 respondents revealed that due to thin layer between business and consumption priorities, 7 respondents due to unforeseen expenditure, 5 respondents becuse of business loss and 3 respondents due to natural calamities.
Entrepreneurship plays an eminent function in creating an avenue for employability for rural communities, providing self-employment for those who have started-up a business of their own and enhancing the economic status of the rural sector as well. It has transformed many entrepreneurs into successful business persons and generated income for rural communities. Entrepreneurs in rural area have transformed their vicinity into trading hubs thus enabling them to become urbanized areas.
Entrepreneurship especially in the hill society largely depends upon to a great extent on the economic, social, religious, cultural and psychological factors. Hence developing a proper environment through provision of sufficient information and needed skills will pave the way for many women to undertake entrepreneurial activities. A well developed Infrastructure is very essential for hill development. Up gradation of skills and market exposures to these artisans would open new avenues for creative entrepreneurial activities
Procedural delays, tedious formalities and maximization of documents on the part of banking institutions and Government departments could be minimized. Special schemes for unemployed women and youth with an incentive to take up self employment in forest and agriculture based allied activities would enable easy access to financial availability and to undertake entrepreneurial activities.

Crispy Crunchy Gangjeong
Gangjeong (sweet deep-fried rice puffs) is notoriously difficult to make. Sweet rice powder is mixed with liquor and honey and steamed. A small amount of honey is added once again, they are cut into slices one half centimeter thick, three centimeters long and one half a centimeter wide, and then left to dry in the shade.
After soaking in liquor overnight, they are dried and deep-fried in oil. Fried Gangjeongs are coated in grain syrup and then coated with other ingredients such as beans or sesame seeds. As demonstrated by the popular phrase 'hollow Gangjeong,' well-made Gangeong is deep-fried until it puffs up and becomes airy in the center. Gangjeong is naturally healthy, as it uses medicinal herbs and natural ingredients. For instance, the puffed cereal coating of Gangjeong may be dyed pink with gromwell (Jicho), yellow with pine pollen, or brown with cinnamon powder.

To handle a faddy eater at home is never a happy task for a mum. My daughter never likes meat. Why is she so? It's something I'd like to find out too. I dare to say I've tried many ways to make my dishes as appealing as I could to "lure" her into eating. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail hard. Here's one I succeed, Pear-shaped like Korokke コロッケ.
Originated from France, Korokke コロッケ is also known as Croquette in English. Since I've never tasted an authentic french Croquette, I couldn't comment much about which is better, the authentic french or the Japanese-style Korokke? However, Japanese usually eat together with Tonkatsu sauce とんかつソース.
This is a very popular home dish here, you can find it easily in local meat stores and supermarkets. Pamper your children a little this weekend by making this dish, or make it even better, let them join in the cooking. I'm sure they love to mould the Korokke into shapes themselves. Have fun!
Potato Croquette
For 4 pieces
What You Need
250g of potatoes (I used russet potatoes)
150g of ground beef (Japanese beef more flavourful)
1 small onion (approx. 130g)
1 Tbsp of oil (I used olive oil)
15g of butter
A pinch of salt and black pepper to taste
A few stalks of Parsley stem for decoration (optional, if you're making the pear shape)
For browning breadcrumbs
Dry breadcrumbs
small amount of oil
small amount of butter (optional)
For breadcrumb crust
Plain flour
Beaten egg
Browned breadcrumbs–
Boil potatoes in a pot for approximately 10-15minutes or until they get soft. If you're able to insert a fork easily, it means the potatoes are soft enough and can be removed from heat. Drain away the hot boiling water, leave them aside for a while before tearing off their skin and mashing up in a large bowl, in between add in the butter. Slice onions into small pieces. Heat and oil the pan, stir-fry the chopped onions first, next together with the ground beef. Add in salt and black pepper along the way.
Once the meat is cooked, remove the excessive oil and leave it to cool. Combine the cooked meat with the mashed potatoes in the bowl and mix well. Instead of the conventional way of deep-frying, I'm going to airfry the croquettes this time, a healthier version I reckon. To do that, first gently brown the breadcrumbs in an oiled pan. Stir frequently as the breadcrumbs tend to get burnt easily.
Once done, spread them in a tray to cool. Now, it's time to let your fingers to the job. Mould the mashed potatoes into any shapes you prefer. Coat thinly with a layer of plain flour to keep it from sticking too much on your hands.
Gently shake off any excess and dip the floured croquette in the well-beaten egg. (*The layer of flour also helps to keep the croquette in shape after coating in egg) Then lay it on the browned breadcrumbs and coat well. Place them all in the airfyer for 10-12 minutes at a temperature of 200°C. If you don't own an airfyer, you can bake them in an oven under the same parameters.
Serve with some grated cabbage and lemon wedges.

FACEBOOK the social network giant has decided to step into Paypal's toes and start doing mobile payments mostly for apps as well as for any other type of mobile payment services needed.
The social network is planning "in the next month or so" to test a mobile-payment service that would allow consumers to pay for products via just their Facebook credentials, All Things Digital reported on Thursday, citing people who claim to have knowledge of its plans.
Facebook's plan is to offer the service to those who have stored credit card information on the social network. Those users can then access e-commerce mobile apps to buy products, and pay for that by simply inputting their Facebook credentials. Facebook's payment service will then make the purchase with the credit card on file. No billing information will be put in by the customer, according to All Things Digital.
Facebook's platform is not to be confused with Google Wallet, which allows customers to make purchases in brick-and-mortar stores with their mobile devices. Facebook's service is designed solely to provide a different way for customers to make purchases in mobile apps; the platform will not handle actual payment processing.
For its part, Facebook hasn't publicly said what its plans are, but the company confirmed to All Things Digital that it will test the service soon. When it does so, the company will partner with male-shopping platform JackThreads to test it out.

Where to Stay in Jacksonville - River View Rooms to Luxury Beach Resorts
Find a place to stay
As the USA's largest mainland city by area, Jacksonville has plenty of accommodation options. Beach resorts and vacation rentals line its coast, while downtown features skyscraper hotels overlooking St. John's River. West and southeast Jacksonville provide budget lodgings and suites from global hoteliers.
Beach cities
East of Jacksonville's city center lie 22 miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches. Three of the beach cities - Atlantic, Neptune, and Jacksonville - blend into seemingly one sandy playground. You can bike on the hard sand to an array of seafood restaurants and laid-back beach bars that each of these beach towns offer. Walk to popular Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier for prime people-watching, surfing, or to cast a line.
Many hotels here offer extensive oceanfront views, pools, and free parking. Jacksonville Beach provides most of the accommodation inventory, with Atlantic Beach a close second. Neptune Beach has kept its small, beach-town vibe, which means fewer rooms are available here, so early booking is advised. Many condos and vacation rentals also exist for those seeking self-service options.

Downtown Jacksonville
For visitors interested in urban pursuits, downtown accommodation options make it convenient to walk or take public transportation to most city attractions, festivals, and professional sporting events. Many skyscraper hotels dot Jacksonville's riverfront and provide a spectacular view of Jacksonville Landing, St. John's River, and Main St. Bridge, which glows blue at night.
Staying downtown suits those looking for luxury accommodation and convenient access to the city center. Many popular hotel names have large hotels here, and a few budget motels can also be found minutes from Jacksonville's city center. A very limited number of bed-and-breakfasts or vacation rentals can be found here.

Southeast Jacksonville
This area sits across St. John's River from Jacksonville's city center and encompasses Southbank and San Marco neighborhoods. River taxis, public buses, and a Skyway monorail conveniently connect the riverbanks. You'll find trendy boutique shopping and art galleries in this area, as well as the many dining options of San Marco Dining District.
Southeast Jacksonville provides a wide selection of suite-style accommodation and many well-known hotel chains. Visitors seeking places with amenities such as on-site bars, gyms, pools, and restaurants will find several choices to fit their needs.
Search for Southeast Jacksonville hotels
West Jacksonville
To Jacksonville's west lie Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods. These historic areas have become popular among young residents, who have infused the area with a bohemian vibe, and have attracted innovative chefs. Boutiques, outdoor dining, and small breweries up West Jacksonville's cool factor, along with thriving nightlife, cultural, and artistic scenes.
Many of West Jacksonville's hotels cluster around Orange Park on the southwest bank of St. Johns River. These range from upscale hotels to budget motels, with only 1 bed-and-breakfast in the area and virtually no vacation rentals.
Search for West Jacksonville hotels
Fernandina Beach
Visitors seeking to get away from mainstream areas will enjoy the peace and solitude of Fernandina Beach. Located 35 miles north of Jacksonville, this beach community entices people content with making day trips into Jacksonville. Visitors can fill the rest of their time with sun, sand, and outdoor activities like kayaking, horseback riding, and boating.
Fernandina Beach is filled with independent hotels, B&Bs, and vacation rentals. A few luxury resorts sit oceanfront, while several familiar hotel names also dot the coast and the banks of St. Mary's River.

March 8, 2009
BOX SCORES: Eureka | Maryville
March 8, 2009, Maryville, Tenn. — The sixth-ranked Tigers remained unbeaten and unscored upon this season as they blanked Eureka by a 5-0 score and Maryville, 10-0. With the wins DePauw improved to 4-0.

Soultz pitched another two-hitter in the five-inning win over Maryville as she struck out two and, again, didn't allow a walk. The Tigers' offense totaled 13 hits with Patterson, Brianne Weeks, Rachel Gill and Kosinksi each collecting two. Mink again homered as she delivered a two-run shot in the fourth. Patterson and Gill also drove in two in the win.
The shutouts lifted Soultz's career total to 28 as she surrendered just 11 hits and two walks while striking out 26 in 23 weekends in the four games.
The Tigers travel to Salisbury University for four games next Saturday and Sunday.

Her voice was a deep, soulful voice of husky quality. Her presence reverberated into the space of the world, creating a energy that held wisdom in it's vibration. She was powerful in her womanhood, bringing her culture, her past, and her history as a vehicle for change. Words were her weapons, bullets of love shot from a her heart and directed at her people… all of her people.
They called her the "people's poet" because she wrote messages for, and about, the people. She was not easily described by words, but held something so valuable in the cadence of her speech that she could stop moments of oppression with just a tone….. with just a word.
She was magic. Maya was and is magic; she is the best kind of magic. She was the kind of magic that wrapped her intent into a rhythm that spoke to the heart, singing a song of love that always promoted reflection. She stood in her black skin, and whispered words that motivated and encouraged millions. She was a change agent, skilled in the art of the tongue, speaking the language of the Gods without pause.
I can hear her voice in my head; it is one of the voices that reminds me of my own power. It is with the voice of the ancestors that I claim my place in the world, a place that is often hard to find and yet lives within my own spirit. The angelic voice of Maya Angelou was not the typical one of whimsical rhyme, instead it was the mystical voice of the ancestral lineage that came out of her full and lively lips. The deep tone of her voice matched her chocolate skin, and carried the strengths of the million of the ancestor's voices before her. She was gifted with the ability to call to her people through space and time, through distance and oppression. Maya Angelou manifested love around the world, and left a better world upon her departure than it was when she found it.
So tonight I find myself so very grateful for her influence on the many generations of humanity that she touched and thereby changed the trajectory of my life. It is through these moments of human exchange and love that we find ourselves, and we find each other.
The world has suffered a big loss today, but gained something so great over the 86 years of her life. And so I speak to the skies:
A voice that reverberated the love of the Gods made whole.
Stories carried by your tongue of the ancestors untold.
Giving rise to the message of a people, of a nation,
Loving our potential and challenging the complacent.
In a world of pain, you chose to spread your light,
Beyond our vision, you manifested words that brought sight.
For generations you held a picture of a future unseen,
Where love was the law, and we would do as we mean.
To be a village and manifest the world we want to see,
Breathing the wisdom of the past to create the power to just BE.
Thank you Ms. Angelou for your vision and hope……..
Tonight you shall rest, but we shall not,
Some battles have been won, but some have still to be fought.
Your work will continue in the humanity you have inspired,
Bringing light to the world as you now must retire.
As it is so, so must it shall be.

This article discusses the Scriptural principles regarding blood. See Watchtower Blood Stance for historical and current Watchtower teachings.
The Watchtower teaches that accepting a blood transfusion goes against Bible principles and will lead to a person losing everlasting life. They have admitted this stance results in the loss of Jehovah's Witness lives.
"In former times thousands of youths died for putting God first. They are still doing it, only today the drama is played out in hospitals and courtrooms, with blood transfusions the issue." Awake! 1994 May 22 p.2
The foundation Scripture to support such a stance is from Acts.
Acts 21:25 "As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out, rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as well as from blood and what is strangled and from fornication."
This article shows that application of this Scripture to blood transfusions is dangerous and wrong for a number of reasons. These include:
- The Rabbinic principle of Pikuach Nefesh (appealed to by Jesus at Mat 12:11) dictates that the Law be superseded if it would result in loss of life
- Paul showed that Acts 15 was only binding when it would result in stumbling (1 Cor 8)
- The Bible refers to eating blood from animals killed for food, not blood transfusions that do not result in the death of the donor.
Pikuach Nefesh – Life overrides Law
Throughout this article it will be shown the Bible identifies respect for life as important to God. The reason the Noahide and Mosaic Law's stipulated bleeding an animal was out of respect for the life taken. Jesus shed blood at death was the ultimate gift, given to purchase the everlasting life of mankind.
Quite opposite to this Bible principle, the Watchtower Society admits that their stand against blood transfusions has led to the death of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Watchtower articles claim that it is wrong to attempt to save life through a blood transfusion, as this risks forfeiting everlasting life.
"As Christian witnesses of Jehovah, her parents, Darrell and Rhoda Labrenz, correctly viewed blood transfusion as a violation of God's law and thus opposed it. They were concerned about their baby's eternal welfare, for everlasting life is the prospect only of those adhering to God's laws." Yearbook 1975 p.224
"But suppose one's wife or child were near death. … How foolish it would be to gamble away the prospect of life eternal for the very uncertain promise of a cure by blood transfusion!" Watchtower 1970 Apr 15 p.249
"What if a Christian is badly injured or is in need of major surgery? Suppose doctors say that he must have a blood transfusion or he will die. … Would a Christian break God's law just to stay alive a little longer in this system of things? … We do not want to die. But if we tried to save our present life by breaking God's law, we would be in danger of losing everlasting life." What Does The Bible Really Teach (2005) pp.130-131
Do these statements indicate the Watchtower stance on blood shows respect for life? Compare them with what God wants.
Matthew 12:7 "However, if YOU had understood what this means, 'I want mercy, and not sacrifice,' YOU would not have condemned the guiltless ones."
It is pertinent that Jew's are allowed to have blood transfusions. Strict Orthodox Jews soak meat in water, salt it and then drain it in order to draw out all the blood, tet no Jewish groups forbid blood transfusions. (Likewise, Muslims forbidden to drink blood are allowed transfusions as a life saving procedure.) This is because Jewish kosher probation's are waived in regards to life-saving medical use. Sustaining life overrules the Mosaic Law; a principle referred to as pikuach nefesh.
Jesus showed that Christians are to follow this principle when he healed and harvested on the Sabbath. He used David as an example to show that that acts of mercy, such as saving a life, are more important than strict adherence to regulation. Consider the following examples:
Matthew 12:11 "Who will be the man among YOU that has one sheep and, if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will not get hold of it and lift it out? All considered, of how much more worth is a man than a sheep!"
Mark 3:4-5 "Next he said to them: "Is it lawful on the sabbath to do a good deed or to do a bad deed, to save or to kill a soul?" But they kept silent. And after looking around upon them with indignation, being thoroughly grieved at the insensibility of their hearts, he said to the man: "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored." – see also Luke 6:7-10
"Matthew 12:1-4, NW: "At that season Jesus went through the grainfields on the sabbath. His disciples got hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. At seeing this the Pharisees said to him: 'Look! your disciples are doing what it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.' He said to them: 'Have you not read what David did when he and the men with him got hungry? How he entered into the house of God and they ate the loaves of presentation, food it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, but for the priests only?'" In these verses and in the ones following Jesus was calling attention to acts of mercy on the sabbath day, that it was perfectly legitimate to render a show of mercy to one who is in need even though it was the sabbath, and that there is, in effect, no violation of the sabbath by such course of action. He had no rebuke for David's course." – see also Mark 2:23-26″ Watchtower 1952 Sep 15 p.575
In these situations Jesus invoked the rabbinic principle of pikuach nefesh; that the obligation to save life supersedes Jewish law.
"According to pikuach nefesh a person must do everything in their power to save the life of another, even donate bodily organs. Ovaday Yosef, the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, ruled that one may donate an organ to a person in critical need, so long as it does not put the donor's life at risk. It is also permissible to travel on Shabbat to save a person's life. Maimonides declared that a Jew should take the individual, even if a gentile is present, in order to encourage "compassion, loving-kindness and peace in the world" (Mishneh Torah, 2:3). The laws of the Sabbath may be suspended to provide any necessary medical care to a critically ill individual or to an individual in the likelihood of danger to life." Pikuach Nefesh, Ariel Scheib (22 Apr 2007)
As respect for life is the most important issue for a Bible student, blood should be transfused in life-and-death situations. This raises the question, "is a blood transfusion ever necessary to sustain life?"
Blood transfusions are essential at times to sustain life. There is merit in not taking blood in many medical situations, just as there is merit in not taking antibiotics for every illness. Just as antibiotics have been harmfully over prescribed, so has the use of blood. However, antibiotics are essential in certain life and death situations, as is blood. Non-blood volume expanders are as yet not able to substitute for the oxygen carrying capabilities of red blood cells. When red blood cell count becomes low, your organs suffocate and die from lack of oxygen; in this situation survival demands a blood transfusion.
The Watchtower Society conceded to parliament that blood transfusions are necessary at times and even recommended that the law take Witness children off their parents in such cases. In the Hansard Committee Vin Toole, representing the legal department of the Australian Branch of the Watchtower Society makes such an admission to Senator SCHACHT.
"Mr Toole – What we have said is that there may well be circumstances arise where it does become an absolute life and death issue. We have said that in those circumstances that is the way the law should be framed. In its present form, the law is not framed that way and it allows an invasion of the family and an overruling of the principles of that family in circumstances that really do not call for that at all." (COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, Official Committee Hansard, JOINT COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS, DEFENCE AND TRADE, Reference: Australia's efforts to promote and protect freedom of religion and belief FRIDAY, 15 OCTOBER 1999)
When Watchtower articles say that surgery can be performed without blood, they divert the readers' attention from the fact that there are circumstances where blood is absolutely necessary to survive. In these situations Jehovah's Witnesses should have freedom to choose the most appropriate treatment for their own bodies. The essay Jehovah's Witnesses, Blood Transfusions, and the Tort of Misrepresentation by Kerry Louderback-Wood, presents the important finding that the Watchtower has been dishonest in its presentation on information about blood transfusions in an effort to mislead its followers;
"The Society's main resource regarding its blood policy, "How Can Blood Save Your Life?" ("pamphlet"), teaches both Witnesses and interested persons about the religion's blood prohibition. In addition to giving the Society's religious interpretation, the pamphlet relies on quotes from historians, scientists, and medical professionals to bolster its no-blood position. This essay will first discuss the pamphlet's misrepresentations of these secular writers and the availability of private action suits for persons harmed when a religious organization misrepresents secular facts."
Louderback-Wood provides examples of Watchtower publications being selective in the information presented to its members in regards to the dangers of accepting or refusing blood, going as far as to misquote in order to lead Jehovah's Witnesses to an inaccurate understanding of the necessity for blood. It is one thing to demand a follower to strictly obey a Churches specific interpretation of doctrine, but quite another to be dishonest in the portrayal of medical information. Followers have a right to informed consent.
Scriptural Stance on Blood
The consumption of blood cells is not an issue in the Bible, as meat could be eaten despite containing blood. The issue was respect for the sanctity of life. Though Biblical laws on blood changed over time, showing respect for life never has. Is refusing blood in a life or death situation showing such respect? It is interesting to examine the scriptural development.
A key argument the Watchtower uses to say blood transfusions is wrong it that the command to refrain from blood originated with Noah, by reference to Genesis 9:4.
"God imposed this one restriction. They were not to consume blood.(Genesis 9:3,4)" Watchtower 2008 Oct 1 p.31
Genesis 9:4 does not prohibit the eating of blood! Rather, Noah was told:
"Only flesh with its soul – its blood – YOU must not eat."
This command was about respect for animal life during the ritual of slaughter. This does not state that blood could not be eaten. In its strict Hebrew wording, it means that an animal should not have flesh torn off it for food, whilst the animal is still alive. In general, it is understood to mean that out of respect for the life of an animal, it was to be bled when being killed for food; a command against eating things strangled.
The Watchtower uses this as a key Scripture to show that blood transfusions must not be used, attempting to apply it to the consumption of human blood. Neither point is made in this Scripture.
Even the Watchtower originally recognised that Genesis 9:4 did not apply to eating blood, as shown in a Watchtower article that attempted to prove that vaccinations were wrong.
"All reasonable minds must conclude that it was not the eating of the blood that God objected to, but it was bringing the blood of the beast in contact with the blood of man." Golden Age 1931 Feb 4 p.294
Showing that the Law to Noah was related to the act of killing an animal, rather than the blood itself, Deuteronomy 14:21 allowed Israelites to sell un-bled animals found dead as food for "alien residents" and "foreigners." This is because the alien resident was bound by Noahide Law, but not Mosaic Law.
Mosaic Law
The Mosaic Law gave over 600 laws for the Nation of Israel, greatly adding to the laws that were given to Noah. For the first time, a law stated that blood was not to be eaten; to do so would result in death.
Leviticus 17:10 "And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people."
Yet, this too was related to the ritual of bleeding an animal killed for food, not the blood itself. This point can be seen from Leviticus 17:15;
"As for any soul that eats a body [already] dead or something torn by a wild beast, whether a native or a alien resident, he must in that case wash his garments and bathe in water and be unclean until evening; and he must be clean."
If the animal was already dead the death penalty did not apply for eating an unbled animal; rather they were required to bathe due to being unclean from handling a dead body.
Early Christians
The strict requirements of the Mosaic Law were to show the necessity of Jesus' Ransom sacrifice. As such, the Mosaic Law ceased to apply when Jesus died for mankind.
Colossians 2:13b, 14 "He kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us; and He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake.
Jesus death did away with the legalist approach to life dictated by the Mosaic Law. His statement that Christians are not defiled by what they eat showed that Mosaic Law covering such things as pork, oysters and blood had ceased.
Matthew 15:11 "Not what enters into [his] mouth defiles a man; but it is what proceeds out of [his] mouth that defiles a man."
All Mosaic Law ceased when Jesus died. (Romans 10:4) As the Mosaic Law no longer applies to Christians, Mosaic Law regarding blood are not required to be followed. As shown earlier, prior laws given to Noah did not cover eating blood, so with the death of Jesus all rules against blood ceased.
Despite this, the Watchtower refers to the Mosaic Law to formulate its blood stance.
"However, such collecting, storing, and transfusing of blood directly contradicts what is said in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Blood is not to be stored; it is to be poured out-returned to God, as it were. Granted, the Mosaic Law is not in force now. Nevertheless, Jehovah's Witnesses respect the principles God included in it, and they are determined to 'abstain from blood.' Hence, we do not donate blood, nor do we store for transfusion our blood that should be 'poured out.' That practice conflicts with God's law." Watchtower 2000 Oct 15 p.31
By using the Mosaic Law to create binding legislation on its followers, the Watchtower undermines the value of the blood of Christ through the Ransom. Paul warned against those that revert to the Mosaic Law;
2 Corinthians 3:14-15 "But their mental powers were dulled. For to this present day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the old covenant, because it is done away with by means of Christ. In fact, down till today whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their hearts."
Acts 15 – Abstain From Blood?
The strongest support for refusing blood transfusions is from Acts 15:21 and 21:25. At Acts 15:21 it is recorded that the Apostles and Older Men gave a decree to "abstain from blood". At first glance this may be taken to imply that the Mosaic Law was to continue applying to Christians in regard to consumption of blood.
Acts 15:21 does not apply to blood transfusions when understood in its historical and religious setting. The majority of Christian religions do not understand this to be a binding command, nor was it understood as such by Pastor Russell, the founder of the Watchtower religion.
"He further suggested writing to them merely that they abstain … from blood … It will be noticed that nothing is said about keeping the Ten Commandments, nor any part of the Jewish law. It was evidently taken for granted that having received the spirit of Christ the new law of love would be a general regulation for them. The things mentioned were merely to guard against stumbling themselves or becoming-stumbling blocks to others." Watch Tower 1892 Nov 15 pp.350-351
There are two aspects to consider about the decree regarding blood in Acts:
- It is not a binding command on all individuals
- It does not refer to blood transfusions
A new situation arose after the death of Jesus, with the admittance of Gentiles into Christianity. The situation at Acts was very specific. Jewish Christians were having difficulty accepting Gentile Christians, particularly in regards to circumcision. Paul, the "Apostle to the Nations", was converting Gentiles and rightfully taught that they were not obligated to follow the Mosaic Law. Judaizers were a group of Jewish Christians claiming to be superior to the Gentile Christians due to following the Mosaic Law. As explained in the New Catholic Encyclopaedia, Judaizers were;
"A party of Jewish Christians in the Early Church, who either held that circumcision and the observance of the Mosaic Law were necessary for salvation and in consequence wished to impose them on the Gentile converts, or who at least considered them as still obligatory on the Jewish Christians."
The Apostles and older men convened to discuss the application of the Mosaic Law and came to the conclusion that observation of the Mosaic Law was unnecessary. However, they recommended that "the believers from among the nations" observe fours things from the Mosaic Law.
Acts 21:25 "As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out, rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols as well as from blood and what is strangled and from fornication."
This is not an exhaustive list of things to abstain from, (murder being an obvious omission) so why was this unusual list given. It was to prevent stumbling Jewish brothers. This was explained in the Watch Tower 1909 Apr 15 pp. 116-117 and is the common Christian understanding. The New Catholic Encyclopaedia states;
"These four prohibitions were imposed for the sake of charity and union. As they forbade practices which were held in special abhorrence by all the Jews, their observance was necessary to avoid shocking the Jewish brethren and to make free intercourse between the two classes of Christians possible. With the disappearance of the Jewish-Christian community of Jerusalem at the time of the rebellion (A.D. 67-70), the question about circumcision and the observance of the Law ceased to be of any importance in the Church, and soon became a dead issue." (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08537a.htm 17/09/2005)
How do both scholars and Russell reach this conclusion? Firstly, as the Mosaic Law had ceased to apply, it does not make sense for Christians to be required to retain only this portion of it. Particularly is this so when considering that these four things are not the only Mosaic rules that a Christian must follow, nor are they the most important ones.
James explained why the four things mentioned at Acts 15:20 were specifically chosen in the very next sentence.
Acts 15:19-21 "Hence my decision is not to trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood. For from ancient times Moses has had in city after city those who preach him, because he is read aloud in the synagogues on every sabbath."
The Law of Moses was read in Synagogues every Sabbath. The passage from Leviticus 17:1 to 18:27 was applied to both Jews and Gentiles. This passage has the same four requirements, listed in the exact order as that given in Acts 21:25. (Lev 17:7 sacrifices to idol, Lev 17:10 eating blood, Lev 17:13 bleeding an animal, Lev 18 fornication) These were the compulsory rules for both Israelites and foreigners living in ancient Israel, which is why these four items meant so much to the Judaizers and why the Apostles concluded that upholding them was necessary to prevent stumbling within the surrounding Jewish congregations.
Paul specifically states that there is nothing wrong with eating food sacrificed to idols and explains that this prohibition was provided so as not to stumble others. This was only an issue in congregations that were having trouble between Judaizers and Gentiles.
1 Corinthians 8:4-13 "Now concerning the eating of foods offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one. … Nevertheless, there is not this knowledge in all persons; but some, being accustomed until now to the idol, eat food as something sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. But food will not commend us to God; if we do not eat, we do not fall short, and, if we eat, we have no credit to ourselves. But keep watching that this authority of YOURS does not somehow become a stumbling block to those who are weak. For if anyone should see you, the one having knowledge, reclining at a meal in an idol temple, will not the conscience of that one who is weak be built up to the point of eating foods offered to idols?"
See also 1 Corinthians 10:25-33
Even though the decree at Acts 15 says to abstain from eating food sacrificed to idols, Paul makes clear that there is nothing wrong with this practice unless it stumbled the brothers, in this case the Judaizers. The same principal applies to blood. Acts 15 included food sacrificed to idols, blood and animals strangled because they caused stumbling in the mixed congregations due to their being read "in the Synagogue on every Sabbath", even though they were not offensive to God. This became less of an issue after the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D. and holds no relevance in our era.
Further indication that blood use is not unholy is that abstaining from blood is never mentioned in any other context in the New Testament. It is not included as a reason to shun a brother at 1 Corinthians 5. Neither Revelation 21:8 nor 1 Corinthians 6 mention consuming blood as a reason for not inheriting God's Kingdom. If avoiding blood was a key requirement of God it would be mentioned alongside sins such as fornication, murder and idolatry that are repeatedly condemned in the New Testament.
A Blood Transfusion is not the same as eating blood, which is what the Mosaic Law specifically forbade.
"Each time the prohibition of blood is mentioned in the Scriptures it is in connection with taking it as food, and so it is as a nutrient that we are concerned with in its being forbidden." Watchtower 1958 Sep 15 p.575
A blood transfusion does not nourish the body as it would if eaten. When eaten, blood and other foods are broken down into simple components. When blood is introduced directly into the veins as a transfusion it circulates and functions as blood. A blood transfusion is a cellular organ transplant and organ transplants are permitted by the Watchtower Society. To show how irrelevant the illustration is, consider it when put another way;
"Consider a man who is told by his doctor that he must abstain from meat. Would he be obedient if he quit eating meat but accepted a kidney transplant?" (Source http://www.ajwrb.org/history/index.shtml)
As discussed above, blood was only prohibited under the Mosaic Law, which no longer applies today. Furthermore, in life and death situations, the principle of Pikuach Nefesh dictates that a life should be saved even if it resulted in a law being broken.
Forbidding blood transfusions is an example of legalistic Western minds formulating doctrine without an understanding of the native spirit behind ancient Eastern Biblical texts. A blood transfusion is not the same as eating blood. For one, blood transfusions do not involve digesting blood. Secondly, blood transfusions do not result in the death of the donor. Biblical commands on blood, such as given to Noah at Genesis 9:4, was that blood was to be poured out of a slaughtered animal. Blood law was given to show respect for life during the ritual of killing for food. In its naive endeavour to follow the Bible, the Watchtower has done exactly the opposite by leading innocent followers to needless death.

Here's a scenario: Suppose you're trying to understand the way in which literacy rates vary around the world. You might find it easy to locate a table of world countries and their literacy rates (say, for people over the age of 15). But THEN what do you do? How do you convert this giant table into something that you can actually use to understand what's going on around you?
You might have in your mind's eye something like this:
|Interactive world literacy map. 2 minutes to generate, including finding data, etc.
This is an interactive world map I generated in a couple of minutes. (Obviously, this is just a static image of it--but when you click on any of those dots, you'll get the pop-up with literacy rate by country, male, and female literacy rates as well, if available.) Note that I'm NOT recommending this as a great visualization method--I'm including it here just to give a suggestion of the things you might do. I'm sure you can do a better job!
I know that some of you will find this an easy problem--but in my classes, I find that lots of people don't even begin an analysis like this because they have no idea how long it will take. So the theme of this week's challenge is How to get started in visual data analysis!
The challenge is simple:
Can you quickly create a visual representation
of world literacy rates by country?
And, of course, let us know HOW you did it and what you did to make it work. Please include an estimate of how long it took you to go through your steps. This is your chance to share a bit of how-to knowledge with the SearchResearch readers!
I'll be really interested to see what kind of visual maps and charts you create. Share them with us as well!
Search (and visualize) on!

Does calling or texting really matter? Find out the one true way to tell if a guy is interested.
The 2009 movie, He's Just Not That Into You followed a variety of characters as they attempted to decode how men were feeling. There were single women, attached women, and married women all pondering the same questions, and they were all attempted to figure out the hidden meaning behind every word and action of the men around them.
Women want to know how to tell if a guy is interested.
Although this film provides an amusing take on meeting guys, it isn't nearly as difficult as the viewers are led to believe.
I am consistently bombarded with questions from my readers asking me to decode the words or actions of a guy they met or like. I am often asked questions like; what does it mean if he texts me instead of calls me? Do you think he likes me even if he waited three days to call? He called the next day and I didn't answer, but he hasn't called again, does that mean he wasn't really interested?
My advice to these ladies is almost universal; pay attention to what a guy does.
It doesn't matter if a guy calls of texts, the important thing is that he is attempting to make contact with you. Some guys are simply more comfortable texting, or they may be less fearful of rejection through a text than an awkward phone call. Texting versus calling is not a secret sign detecting his level of interest.
In regards to how long he waits before calling, the thing you need to pay attention to is that he called. If a guy is not interested, he is not going to call you at all.

I have lot of scraps,small pieces of fabrics and because it is very hard for me to throw away something like fabric you can imagine how is my room…
I thought to make a small tablecloth. I started to make paper piecing first by sewing with machine but as I was keep going I realized that my fabrics were so tiny ones so the only way to keep going was to do all by hand!! Then I made a new decision – not a tablecloth, I would be lost in hand sewing for the whole year! I had to find something else and as I sew and saw how the blocks game out I knew: The coasters!! Now are they coasters or mug rugs – as you want. ( If the mug rug is something which takes also a piece of cake, so these are not mug rugs they are "only" coasters)
Thanks for visiting and seeing what I have been making!
Have a nice week everybody! x Anneli

Powerful testimonies from young people in Rome
Bullying related to a child's Special Education Need (SEN) or Disablity (D) is commonly known as 'disablist bullying'. This type of bullying can been defined as intimidating, manipulative, hurtful, or insulting behaviour related to a perceived or actual disability. Literature across Europe indicates that people with SEN/D are more likely to be a victim of bullying, and interventions that addresses this topic are very important and needed.
Little is known however about the prevalence of disablist bullying, in either the student or adult population, and only a few practical methods for intervening in disablist bullying are available.
Lead by ISCTE-IUL, in Lisbon, Portugal, data for a Trans-national Country Report on Disablist Bullying began to be gathered in October 2017. This Research Report aimed to answer the question "What information exists, e.g., publications or practices, regarding disablist bullying, in children, young people or adults, across countries?"
In order to answer this question, a literature review was conducted with each participating country providing a set number of Publications (research, academic, legal, policy) and examples of Best Practice, with all samples being as current as possible. In line with the target users of the project, data gathered could be on, Youth (15yrs+) or Adults with SEN/D, as well as publications on Students/Adults with SEN/D partners and Teachers/professionals who work with SEN/D individuals.
ISCTE-IUL provided an online template to provide the results of the data search with an end of January deadline. ISCTE then drew information from the resources provided to send to create a report for inclusion on the resource section of the website. In addition to the academic literature review, also was carried out a review in four different European countries in their specific language: Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Based on this review, conclusions and recommendations were discussed. These recommendations and a full copy of the report are available for downloading at the DisAbuse website (www.disabuse.eu) under 'Publications'.

[Thread title hur hur but really this is srs]
Ophelia felt the weight increase over her months of doing very little of importance. She had grown in size, far past her weight with Roskuld, and she couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong. Her mind pondered over and over, never resting as she ran through the possibilities. Would her child be damaged somehow? The thought made her stomach turn, and she leaned against a nearby tree for support, taking a deep breath.
Torleik had been wonderful, just as she imagined. He was attentive and kind, almost overwhelmingly positive. She was not complaining - just making a note of his enthusiasm. It was cute, really. And, much to her amusement, he seemed to be handling the heat well. His dark coat was always shimmering so brightly in its short state, and the sweat seemed to have good effects on his health. Quietly she would smile a coy "I'm right" smile and refuse to speak on the matter.
The days wore on into a fine summer evening. A breeze from the seas rolled by, and she inhaled the salty air, reminded of her home in lands succumbed to shadow. Her strange, two colored eyes gazed out beyond the sea, lips upturned into a pleasant smile as she stood comfortably beneath the stars. The shimmering light from the lost stone never lost its glory, and she seemed to sparkle in the darkness as little flecks shone in her hair.
Everything was fine until she felt a sharp pain in her side, and she growled, nipping at her rounded middle. "Tor," she whispered urgently. "I think..." she began but trailed off as another contraction hit. Ophelia dropped to her knees in the sand and breathed shallowly, laying upon her side and waiting for this part to be over with; she prayed that would be soon.
Minutes passed like hours, and she worked up a sweat trying to force Torleik's hellspawn from her body. Somewhere through the pain, she had begun calling them that - blaming this solely on him of course. Her jests were still spoken with laughter however - through gritted teeth.
The pain finally subsided when she felt one tiny child emerge into the world - a pale, trembling, leggy thing with an expression of utter confusion and distaste. A beautiful girl. Torleik's daughter. Ophelia smiled, leaning up ever so slightly to look. With some attitude which could not have come from her side of the family (haha), the filly refused to budge, legs folded up in denial about this sudden new existence.
Another pain wracked her body, and she furrowed her brows in fear and confusion. None of this made sense. She had birthed their daughter! Wasn't that enough? Then realized dawned on her. Another. There would be another. Ophelia gasped and moments later there was a second child on the ground. Not one hellspawn but two. Somehow they would have to raise two children. Two.
How were there two. Curse her genes! This could only be her fault. Ophelia smiled, finally at pace as she watched a little night and day start to explore.
You know I'm trying to believe that you're never gonna leave...
Undertow has come to take me. Guided by the blazing sun. Look at everything around us. Look at everything we've done.
Please. Anyone. I don't think I can save myself. I'm drowning.
