If you are looking for decorative shutters for the interior of your home then you will have no doubt already realised the many benefits of these beautiful window dressings. The ranges in prices can highly influence what type of shutters you decide to get, but there are so many different materials, designs and colours that you are bound to find something that fits in with your décor and house style. Thankfully in this day and age we are lucky enough to have the internet allowing us to order decorative shutters online from the comfort of home. Due to the benefits of shopping online you can also bring the price of shutters down quite considerable and have a great professional looking fit that you can do yourself.
When ordering shutters online the main thing you have to focus on is getting the measurements correct, especially if you are ordering from a site that is not local so cannot send out someone to help you to measure. Once you have measured your windows and doors always double check as once you have ordered the shutters will be made especially for your measurements which means they cannot be sold on to another customer at a later date should you measure incorrectly.
The shutters will be delivered to your door with full instructions and/or a link to a video site where you can get visual instructions by watching another persons fitting process. Done properly it can take as little as 20 minutes per window (depending on size and man power of course). Most people are surprised at how easy it actually is and how much money they can save buying online and doing their own installation.
When your shutters arrive you will need to put the frame together so that you can nail it in place ready to attack your new shutters. Once installed they will make a huge difference to the look of your home and of course your ability to alter the amount of light you let in and shut out. Here are some great reasons why people choose shutters for their homes over blinds and other window dressings:
Safer for children and pets
There has been a lot of fuss about children and animals becoming tangled in the cords of blinds. With shutters you dont have that worry as there are no cords to become entangled in making them a safer option.
Variable light
If you want to shed some light on your home during the day you can open them up to give you privacy yet still enjoy natural light. When you want to shut it out they are effective enough to act as black out blinds letting your home cool down in the summer as well as insulating it to keep heat in during colder months.
No need for additional window dressings
Thanks to the beauty of shutters you dont have to spend additional money on curtains or drapes to match. This could save you an absolute fortune, plus you have the additional benefit of not having to pay for the laundering of cloth window dressings and you can keep the shutters clean yourself with ease.

While it may not be the biggest news, PlayStation Plus is slowly developing into a program that continues to deliver not only massive savings to its members, but exclusive access to upcoming demos as well, like Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.
Though normally scheduled for a September 15th debut, it looks like those who adorn the PS Plus badge will be getting their hands on Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 a wee bit earlier, a full week early, to be exact. If you've been eagerly awaiting PES 2011 and are a PS Plus subscriber, then next week is when you'll want to look out for it. Those who aren't subscribed to the service will have to wait an additional week. It's sort of funny how PSN users used to get frustrated with XboxLive users snagging early demo access and whatnot over the past few years. Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now, but still… for a price.

New Business research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2012 -- The Taiwan Real Estate report examines the Commercial Office, Retail and Industrial segments throughout the state in the context of the country's exported economy, which is particularly susceptible to global economic dynamics.
With a focus on the principal city of Taipei, the report covers the rental market performance in terms of rates and yields over the past 18 months and examines how best to maximise returns in the commercial real estate market, while minimising investment risk and exploring the impact of the growing Chinese interest in a relatively stagnant market. After slipping into a technical recession in Q411, we believe that Taiwan's economy is set to face further struggles, stemming primarily from a deterioration in the hightech sector, we expect exports and investment weakness to be the main drags on growth. This, in turn, has the potential to depress the performance in both the industrial and office sub-sectors of the commercial real estate markets, and any longer-term slowdown would adversely affect private consumption and thus the outlook for the retail sector.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Nevertheless, our latest data collection show that an economic slowdown has not yet had a tangible effect on the real estate market, with only prime retail rents noting any form of year-on-year (y-o-y) contraction. In the short term, we anticipate a steady growth in rental rates across the market, and we will be watching the H112 data carefully for any further signs of a slowdown in the market.
Key Points
- Stronger economic ties between Taiwan and mainland China are boosting the Taiwan commercial property market
- Political stability derived from the re-election of incumbent president Ma Ying-jeou and the victory of the Kuomintang (KMT) in the legislative elections provides opportunities in the business environment: for example, Germany's Volkswagen (VW) is reportedly reconsidering its abandoned plans to produce cars in Taiwan
- Our forecast for real GDP growth in 2012 has been revised downwards from 3.4% to 2.4% as we expect net exports and decline in investments pose a drag on the economy.
- We believe that construction activity in Taiwan could remain relatively lacklustre in 2012 and have revised down our construction forecasts for 2012 and 2013, from 5.5% and 8.1% to 4.4% and 7.3% respectively. This pessimistic outlook is primarily due to Taiwan's sizeable trade exposure to China and Europe, as both countries are expected to see a significant slowdown in economic development. However, over the medium term, we expect Taiwan's construction sector to grow at a relatively robust pace as the victory by the previous incumbent, the KMT, is likely to lead to a continuation of infrastructure projects that facilitate greater economic integration with China, as well as greater non-residential investment from Chinese companies.

Loving Humboldt
by TRACEY BARNES PRIESTLEY
I AM ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAME to Humboldt County for my college education. Thirty-one years later, I never want to leave. But why have I stayed in a place that is wintertime-soggy, summertime-foggy, economically challenged and at times politically goofy? (Just think of the different shenanigans of every single local government body over the years!) It's simple. Like so many others, I stay here because I love it here.
For this New Year, I was curious to discover just what it is that keeps all of us living behind the Redwood Curtain. I started asking around and here's what your Humboldt County "neighbors" had to say.
Thirty-four years ago, Bruce Smith, a Berkeley Police Academy graduate, was looking for a new career and a better place to raise his family. He and his wife decided on Humboldt County, realizing "there were few places more desirable than what Humboldt County and the North Coast had to offer. It looked like a great place for children to grow and prosper and a fine place to easily enrich and renew one's own spirit."
Bruce discovered "the local population was sparse yet richly diverse . . . the people warm and friendly, always helpful. The population base included many fine minds from the academic community, musicians, artists, crafters, free spirits and curmudgeons! You could live and let live."
Local resident Catherine Andrews, vice president and general manager of Holly Yashi, Inc., moved away for a few years, but like many finally made her way back "home."
"We live in the most beautiful place in the world. There's a peace here." This mother and new grandmother went on to say, "I love the Plaza! And all of the college students, the lovely way the young people are so open."
One of those college students, affectionately known as "BB" to her friends, moved to the United States with her family when she was 12. She believes "the rain here is a good thing because without it, we wouldn't have the forests. The nature here, when it's sunny, is gorgeous . . . the clean air. And the community, such a conscious mentality."
That "conscious mentality" plays itself out in some intriguing ways, as Jackie Foote, career and college center coordinator for Arcata High, pointed out. "Using my Fire and Light glassware every day, I wonder if I am actually using any of my recycled jars!"
Registered nurse Liz Sousa returned to the area because "Humboldt County is home. I love that I go shopping at Safeway and it takes me 45 minutes to do 15 minutes worth of shopping because I see friends and visit. I love that Humboldt County has great art, music and theater, with the price of admission often under $10 and the parking free. I love that even when I meet someone I don't know, we often have mutual acquaintances."
Well-liked and respected educator Paul Gossard, Washington Elementary School principal, had this to say: "People in Humboldt County know how to take care of each other. There is a high level of concern for others, as evidenced by the high level of volunteerism in schools and other community organizations."
He cited quite a few examples of Washington School volunteers: Crossing guards stand in the rain to help children get across busy streets safely; senior citizens read with children; high school cross-age tutors help primary students at classroom learning centers; a fifth-grade chorus sings under the direction of a parent; library books are reshelved by a community member; local businesses donate equipment, time and expertise to a school playground project.
One of the most impressive people around is Lt. Randy Mendosa of the Arcata Police Department. His take on life in Humboldt County? "I most always run into a friend when I am out and about. I like that! It's a safe community and a great place to raise kids. There are countless services and opportunities available, many of which are made possible by people who volunteer their time and resources . . . I can't imagine living anywhere else!"
Leslie Lollich, familiar to many of us through her work in local television, had a list of "why she loves living here" a mile long. "If your kids do something wrong, you hear about it. If your kids do something right, you hear about it. When Ringo Starr comes to town, 80-year-old women in high heels and 10 year-old boys in tennis shoes attend the concert with everyone in between. You can go to a potluck wedding reception one week and a fancy, catered affair the next. It's okay to proudly shun modern conveniences. People often tell me, `I don't have a TV.'"
There were many heartfelt replies from many different people. But what struck me was the consistency of their responses. Obviously, those of us who choose to live in Humboldt County do so because we appreciate a community full of caring, hard-working, generous, tolerant people, one that offers education, art, music, theater and magnificent natural surroundings.
Each and every day, we hear about what's "wrong" with our community. Taking stock of what's "right" about Humboldt County strikes me as a worthwhile way to begin 2003. Perhaps your own list of why you live here will help you through this wet winter. Better yet, you may be encouraged to take an action that will ultimately eliminate something from that nagging "wrong" list.
Happy New Year!

By: Kyle Mutch, M.S., CCC-SLP
Children and students can sometimes struggle with academics once they have more expectations on their lunch trays. This is becoming far too common, and it is often a result of poorly developed executive functioning skills.
What is executive functioning, you ask? Well, it's the organization, planning, attention/focus, flexible thinking, and problem-solving skills needed to get things done!
Unfortunately these skills are not innate, however, children can develop these skills and learn the strategies necessary to survive the gradual increase in academic demands.
Speech-language pathologists provide the scaffolding necessary to help students improve in the areas mentioned above. In the meantime, here are some strategies that can help:
It starts with their binders and notebooks, but it doesn't stop there. Open your child's backpack up and you'll quickly know how organized they are. We need to teach kids how to use folders, dividers, and binders, as well as where to organize all of their assignments, handouts, tests, etc.
Many schools are really on top of providing planners for students. The problem is that most students don't use them or don't know how to use them. It's so important for them to use planners consistently and effectively to stay on top of heavy workloads and/or social lives. If your child procrastinates completing assignments or puts off studying until the last minute, you can try breaking up the work into separate parts or plan out the steps required to complete the work. Planning and prioritizing will save you headaches and time. No one likes staying up past midnight to finish assignments!
Problem Solving
Practice discussing and reasoning through problem-solving situations. Think about the positives, negatives, and outcomes of different actions. Let your child make inferences and predictions, and determine what information is important or needed. They need to be able to identify the problem, determine solutions, and weigh the outcomes.
Flexibility and Self-Control
These two areas allow kids to work through thoughts, actions, and emotions in order to accomplish tasks. It's important for children to examine behaviors and determine the positive and negative outcomes, as well as how they impact others around them. The goal is for them to gain more insight to eventually change negative behaviors to appropriate and expected behaviors. Also, having some calming strategies for when someone feels anxious, upset, or frustrated can go a long way!
Our speech-language pathologists are skilled at helping children develop better executive functioning skills through these strategies and more. If you have questions about executive functioning or other aspects of speech-language or occupational therapy, get in touch with us.

Sunnyside Daycare: Fair Play: Collectibles
- Star Command Card 14 - Gamma Quadrant
- Star Command Card 13 - Star Command
- Special Card 2 - Kids
- Star Command Card 11 - Space Ship
- Star Command Card 9 - Utility Belt
- Zurg Piece - Head
- Zurg Piece - Body
- Zurg Piece - Cape
- Zurg Piece - Gun
It's back to "real world" platforming, and you'll want to start off with Jessie. Switch to the cowgirl, and descend the gazebo's ramp. Take a tight left, and you should spot the Zurg Piece - Head spinning atop a wooden foot stool. Pick it up, then turn around, and face middle of the open room. In front of you, there's a colorful, thin foam mat on the floor. Just beyond it, there's a series of shelves with various containers and a pot of paper pinwheel flowers. Walk over to those shelves, and look in the corner, right next to the dark blue bins. There, you'll find Zurg Piece - Body. Collect it, then head back over to the wooden foot stool.
Look toward the closest wall to find a colorful chest of drawers with a dry fish tank on top, and a green plastic chair at its side. Hop onto the chair, then wall jump back and forth to get on top of the aquarium, and pick up the Token. Alternatively, you can reach the fish tank lid by returning to the yellow gazebo and climbing over the green barrier. No matter how you get there, after you've collected the token, continue moving forward by hopping along the storage shelves against the wall. You'll soon reach a dead end atop a tall standalone cabinet. Behind the stack of overturned plastic bins on its roof, you'll discover Star Command Card 14 - Gamma Quadrant.
Climb atop the bins, and face the hanging fluorescent lights. There's two rows of them, each containing four light fixtures. Although you can double-jump across each group of four, the rows themselves are too far apart for that. For now, make a long double-jump to the fixture that's closest to you. Face the second one, and prepare to double-jump to it. Like before, you'll only succeed if you squeeze as much distance out of your leap as possible. To accomplish that, inch up to the edge, leap toward the next light, and when Jessie's hat dips beneath the fixture in front of you, hit the A Button for the double-jump. She should grab onto the fixture, and you'll be able to pull her up onto it.
Continue jumping along the fixtures (picking up Tokens along the way) until you're near the gazebo's green roof. Carefully examine the area in front of you, and you should see a thin black wire. Jump onto it, and you'll slide to the roof, collecting a Token along the way. In the corner, grab Star Command Card 13 - Star Command, then turn around. Hop back onto the closest fixture, and face the blue support pillar in the middle of the room. A number of blue and red butterflies surround it, and you'll want to jump onto the closest one. To do that, leap at it and use Jessie's pin-point Landing ability (by hitting the B Trigger), and do it again to reach the adjacent butterfly. From there, jump over to the first light in the second row, and double-jump to its neighboring fixture.
Two Collectibles for You, from Butterflies and Vents
Look toward the windows, and you'll see two more butterflies. Near the highest one, Special Card 2 - Kids is spinning 'round in wait. Leap to the upper butterfly, then perform a double-jump toward the card. If you miss initially, make sure to use the B Trigger to land on the lower butterfly so you can try again. You may also want to drift closer to the blue brick wall during your leap. Once you've finally grabbed it, hop back over to the closest light fixture. Turn the camera so you can see the far end of the room. Near the vaulted ceiling, you should see an open air conditioning vent, and the collectible waiting inside of it. Double-jump your way to the last light fixture and inch as close to the collectible as possible, then switch to Buzz.
Starting from the beginning, climb on top of the aquarium, and travel all the way to the gazebo's roof (where you snagged Star Command Card 13). Find the thin black wire again, and hop onto it. Buzz will grind across the room and stop right by Jessie's location. Pick her up, and throw her into the open vent. When she lands, switch to her, and snag Star Command Card 11 - Space Ship.
Change off to Buzz, and—while facing Jessie—walk off the fixture. When you land, you should see a countertop up ahead, adorned with a pink curtain and paper towels in a cubbyhole. Move closer to it, then switch to Woody. Since he's still at the beginning of the stage, he can run straight ahead to cross the entire room and meet up with Buzz. Once he's there, switch over to Lightyear, and pick up the sheriff. Throw him onto the white countertop, then take control of Woody once more. Face the off-white rack, and double-jump over to it. After Woody grabs onto the edge, leap straight up to latch onto the brown shelf up above, and pull him up.
Look toward the mustard-colored cabinets above the countertop, and you should see a set of yellow-tipped wall pegs. Double-jump toward them, and press the B Trigger to use Woody's pull string. You'll swing to the top, and in the corner, you can nab Star Command Card 15 - Sector 4.
Fall down to the floor, and turn toward the opposite corner. You should see an old green desk. Run underneath it to collect Zurg Piece - Cape, then go 'round the side to find another foot stool. Use it to reach the top of the desk, then change to Buzz. Bring him to Woody's location, then pick up the skinny lawman, and point him toward the brown shelf beside the purple cabinet. Toss Woody to it, then take control of him. Leap on top of the black and gray storage box, then hop onto the purple cabinet, and grab Star Command Card 9 - Utility Belt.
Change to Jessie, and drop from the vent. When you hit the floor, turn toward the door in the far corner, and you should see an art easel (which has a sailboat painting on it). Head over to it, then run inside of it, and jump to collect Zurg Piece - Gun. That's the last "free" goodie, so you're ready to take on Lotso's challenges.

Dr Susan Lim pioneered the first Da Vinci Robotic General surgical procedure for the private sector in Singapore in 2004.
"She has this to add : "Robotic surgery is still in it's infancy, and has yet to make a quantum leap, to enable surgeons to deliver the best in precision surgery at a cellular level. So far, the Da Vinci robot is the reigning FDA approved robotic system for general, cardiothoracic, urology and gynaecologic surgery. But the system is cumbersome, bulky, and can be scary to patients as it's metallic arms (telemanipulators) hover over the patient. Though the latest model Xi is beautifully sleek and surgeon-friendly, we need disruptive innovations that will ultimately enable surgery at a cellular levell".

Emily Harris, as quoted in the NY Times on part of why she's not leaving New Orleans. She's apparently doing alright.
They live on high ground in the Bywater neighborhood, and their house escaped structural damage. They are healthy and have enough food and water to last almost a year. They have a dog to protect them, a car with a full tank of gasoline should they need to leave quickly and a canoe as a last resort. They said they used it last week to rescue 100 people.
"We're not the people they need to be taking out," Mr. Kay said. "We're the people they need to be coordinating with."
I'm beginning to paint myself as some kind of stoner (which I'm not - born again nerd is more like it), but I'm really reaching for the positive news in New Orleans at this point. After reading so many stories of tragedy, horror and neglect, it's time for levity and hope.

Remembering the outlaw in Medieval England: the emergence of the Robin Hood legend.
2017-02-27T23:28:34Z (GMT) by
This thesis explores the origins and development of the legends about Robin Hood between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries. It argues that they were shaped by memories of political and social events and of particular individuals in the early thirteenth century, subsequently transformed over time.

Texas State CAMCO sponsors Bra Night, fashion show
Posted by Jayme Blaschke
University News Service
October 8, 2010
The Cancer Advocacy Movement for Colleges and Outreach Organization at Texas State University-San Marcos will kick off its schedule of events for 2010-11 with the inaugural Texas State Bra Night and Fashion Show on Oct. 13.
The event will be at the Alkek Teaching Theater on campus and will begin with a reception at 6:15 p.m. Admission is free with complimentary refreshments provided. Two door prizes--an iPad and a Dell laptop computer--will be given away during the event.
Texas State Bra Night is part of national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and begins a series of activities planned by Texas State CAMCO to promote cancer awareness and prevention on campus and in Central Texas.
More than 20 student organizations will take part in a cancer bra-decorating contest, to help raise awareness of breast cancer and other cancers as well.

In 1839 Jean-Claude Colin moved from Belley to Lyons. In subsequent years he led the Society of Mary through years of extraordinary growth both in France and Oceania.
Many bishops were calling for Marist schools in their dioceses. The demand for more missionaries in the Pacific never stopped. Vocations to the infant apostolic group blossomed as Marists were to be found in an increasing number of ministries, especially amongst the young.
In the midst of this growth was the person of Jean-Claude Colin, founder and father of Marists near and far.
And whilst his dream of a family with several branches was never approved by the Holy See, each branch soon received the Church's recognition: the Marist Brothers under Fr Champagnat's leadership and the Marist Sisters with Jeanne-Marie Chavoin.
Marist lay groups were already emerging and later decades would see the appearance of a new branch: the Missionary Sisters of the Society Mary.

I've never done a favourites post or video but as I've just done 5 countries in 6 weeks, it'll come as no surprise that travel is at the top of my list and I wanted to share some of the things I have been loving whilst away.
As much as I like travelling though, I'm not a huge fan of flying. Thankfully, I've never had a fear of flying but long haul flights are simply just tiresome and you quickly run out of things to do.
Skincare routine – tick ✔
Try to sleep, fail miserably & end up with a sore neck – tick ✔
Read a book – who am I kidding! I never read any book I ever take with me.
Play Solitaire; the only game I have on my phone – tick ✔
Try to edit a video while the person behind & next to me is asleep (so they don't think I'm a weirdo) – tick ✔
Watch re-runs of the Big Bang Theory from the past few seasons – tick ✔
Delete photos (well, ridiculous screenshots you will never need) from your camera roll because you forgot to do it before you left – tick ✔
Eat everything that's put in front of you – tick ✔
Keep scrolling through your phone (unsuccessfully) trying to find things to do without using wifi – tick ✔
Regret drinking lots of water because let's face it, aeroplane toilets are the worst! Yuk! – tick ✔
..and after all that, you realise there are still 8 hours to go before you land.
*rolls eyes*
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser
This was the sample I got in my M&S beauty advent calendar last year and it's all I've used for the past 2 months. A little really goes a long way as you can see, and though it doesn't remove makeup that well, it leaves my skin feeling super clean and fresh without stripping it of it's natural oils. With no residue and dry or tight feeling left on the skin, it's definitely one to add to my never ending list of repurchases I would make.
I would however, probably only repurchase this in travel form as the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse (another fave) transformed my skincare game by making me realise how much I love the feeling of a cleansing balm on my skin. The way it annihilates all traces of makeup while working it into the skin is incredible. I love this as a 'luxurious' skincare routine I would do at home, but for travel, the packaging is a bit bulky and I just want a simpler routine.
The Philosophy Purity cleanser, paired with a mini bottle of Garnier micellar water & some cotton pads is perfect for travel – especially as I don't bother with makeup in hot climates, so a single cleanse is sufficient.
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask
This mask, that I reviewed in depth here, was a lifesaver pre, during and post flight! Super hydrating and cooling on the skin; it's a brilliant way to kill a bit of time on long haul flights while indulging in a pamper session and nourishing the skin. Though the mask looks green, it's actually clear and can't be detected on the skin, so it can be used 'in public' without worrying you'll give somebody a fright!
While this isn't a necessity in any beauty routine, there's no denying that this is one of the best smelling spritzes on the market. The mist promises to tighten pores, smooth fine lines, set makeup and give a boost of radiance, but honestly, through my sporadic use I haven't noticed any long term benefits yet.
I simply adore the scent; a combination of grape, orange blossom, rose, mint and rosemary and it really 'wakes my skin up' giving me a much needed boost after a long flight and during a very sweaty trek up a waterfall!
While it isn't the most travel friendly packaging in a glass bottle, I still managed to traipse around South East Asia with this travel sized bottle in my backpack.
OGX Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner
I have been a huge fan of OGX shampoo and conditioners for a while now simply because of their extensive range suitable for every hair type with an inexpensive price tag and salon worthy results. If you're looking for silky, smooth hair that feels lightweight – well, as lightweight as thick curly hair can possibly be.. Look no further.
My hair is naturally extremely dry and frizzy and no amount of hydration is ever really enough. This fantastic duo not only removes all the dirt and grease from my scalp, it hydrates and conditions my hair like no other. As you can imagine, the smell is divine; filling the entire bathroom like a tropical breeze. It's so dreamy!
FYI the Brazilian Keratin Smooth set is my favourite range for the days I straighten my hair and want it to last for a few days. For me, the process starts at the beginning and, not to quote Tesco, but every little bit helps. The keratin proteins in the shampoo and conditioner help to smooth out the frizz and soften the hair, prepping it for an hour long blow dry and straightening session. Prior to discovering this duo, the process used to take 2 hours and it was such a faff! *snore*
Kiko Night Balm Nourishing Lip Treatment
As an avid liquid lipstick aficionado, there are countless lip balms I have tried and tested that just don't make the cut. This little pot however, is a game changer and quite honestly, it just does what it says on the tin.. really, really well!
Though it's marketed as an overnight treatment, it performs just as well during the day, both alone and under lipstick. Say goodbye to dry, cracked, flaky lips – nobody likes that feeling!
A bit of a random addition, but I couldn't not include my new favourite snack! I have recently been obsessed with Nakd bars – so much so that I dragged my friend to Costco, armed with his membership card just so that I can stock up on an industrial sized multipack before my travels.
We all know that cereal bars are the easiest thing to throw into your handbag on busy days that you're out and about. However, unlike the other ones available, these are dairy, gluten and wheat-free, made from 100% natural ingredients consisting of purely raw fruit, spices and nuts and they're actually filling! This is what sold me in the first place as more often than not, I'll have a packet of crisps or a cereal bar and still be hungry five minutes later. What a waste of calories!
My flavour of choice is the berry delight, closely followed by the cocoa orange and then the cashew cookie.
Too Faced Born This Way Concealer in Tan
I almost forgot to mention that I found another concealer in the perfect shade for my skin tone! If you're a long time viewer of my channel, you'll know that there are literally 2 brands I have come across that do my perfect shade of concealer. The Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Caramel and the MUFE Ultra HD Concealer in Y41 – the struggle is real.
I swatched this little gem in Sephora in Malaysia and as I wasn't convinced it would be perfect, I went back the next day with my Nars concealer in tow. I'm so sick of wasting money on base products that 'look' like they'll be a good match under the poor lighting in stores that these are the lengths I now go to! Anyway, it looked identical to my beloved Nars one, and fully aware that we can buy this in the UK, I couldn't resist throwing it into my basket.. just in case!
I also bought another concealer that I'm still on the fence about, but I think it's best I save that for a future Sephora haul video. What do you think?
Let me know if you have any particular favourites from this month, I always love to hear about what you guys have been loving!

This is my last post on Jennifer Whiting's essay, "The Nicomachean Account of Philia."
I haven't been focusing on her interpretation, because I do not find it illuminating as an account of Aristotle, and there seem better uses of my time than to quarrel with T. Irwin over "rational egoism".
I have focused, however, on her construction of particular passages. Why? Because I think the flawed character of her interpretation is revealed in her flawed treatment of the texts. And generally good interpretations are based on a skilled use of texts. "There is, of course, no escaping the hermeneutic circle", as Whiting says near the beginning of her essay, but the circle has to be drawn through the right points.
And I've given proportionate attention always: just as much as Whiting gives and even invites. "Note especially my rendering of sunōkeiōtai as 'familiar with' ", Whiting asked. -- And we noted it, especially.
My last comment concerns the sentence highlighted in red below. I give the translation just as it occurs in Whiting's essay. You've seen this before, but I give it again. I'll also restore the second half of the sentence at the end, which Whiting omits. (I'll highlight that in blue, to flag that it is not in Whiting's essay.)
Parents are fond of their children as being something of themselves [hōs heautōn ti onta], and children [are fond of] their parents as [themselves] being something form them [i.e., the parents]. But parents know the things coming from themselves more than their offspring know that they are from them [i.e., the parents]; and the one from which is more familiar with [sunōkeiōtai] the one generated than the one coming to be is with its producer. For what comes from oneself is oikeion to the one from which it comes ... but the one from which [the latter comes] is in now way [oikeion] to it, or less so. And [these phenomena vary] with the length of time [involved]. For [parents] are fond of [their children] immediately upon their coming to be, while children [are fond of] their parents only after some time, when they have acquired comprehension [sunesis] or perception. From these things it is clear why mothers love [their children] more [than their children love them]. Parents, then, love their children as themselves [hōs heautous] (for the ones coming to be from them are like other selves [hoion heteroi autoi], by being separated [from them]) (1161b18-29) [whereas children love their parents as the sources from which they have sprung] (Whiting, trans., in Kraut, ed., p. 289).Now as regards the sentence in red, other translators have:
I don't doubt that dozens of others could be brought in also, as rendering in the same way, viz. understanding Aristotle to be drawing a contrast in the sentence between maternal and paternal affection.
Ross: "From these considerations it is also plain why mothers love more than fathers do."
Rowe: "And these points also make it clear why it is that maternal love is greater."
Ostwald: "This also explains why affection felt by mothers is greater [that that of fathers]."
Rackham: "These considerations also explain why parental affection is stronger in the mother."
Whiting sees fit to disagree. She explains her disagreement in a footnote:
The point here is not (as Ross and Irwin render it) that mothers tend to love their children more than fathers do: the thrust of this argument (as distinct from that in IX.7) is that parents (at least initially) tend to love their children more than their children love them. If mothers are suddenly singled out here, that may be because Aristotle thinks (for reasons cited in IX.7) that mothers tend to love their children more than fathers do (n. 12, p. 303).And then it becomes clear that Whiting has missed the word "also" (kai/) in the sentence under dispute (e0k tou&twn de\ dh~lon kai\ di' a4 filou~si ma~llon ai9 mhte/rej) ; she fails to see, then, that this conclusion is additional to one that Aristotle takes himself already to have stated or suggested. And one might guess she was aided in this by her omitting (from her essay--but also from her notes, or in thought?) the last clause of the passage: since she omits this, she casts around to find the conclusion of the passage somewhere else; she thinks it must be in stated in the disputed sentence ("The point here is not.... the thrust of this argument .... is....."); and then this leads her to overlook the "also".
Am I picking on a small point? The point was large enough for Whiting to write an involved footnote in explanation. For my part, I'm willing to allow that Whiting's interpretation is distinguished precisely by what it has to offer in little observations such as this, and that interpreters, when they miss Whiting's point here, are just as wrong when they miss her point everywhere else.

Oddly enough, prices the past week behaved as if they knew I would be too busy to notice, so the same trends are still in place for the most part as in my last post. The dollar continued higher for the 5th week in a row while grain prices stabilized.
Ordinarily, one would expect to see the dollar decline into a cycle low before now. The gray area on the chart below indicates a normal cycle timing band. Depending on the charting service you use, Saturday could have been the daily cycle low, but barely. Fridays trade did break the trend line which should confirm that a bottom is being made in the dollar right now, but just barely.
There are some bullish rumblings out there for the old crop which should lend itself to some support.
· There has been more talk that China is looking for US soybeans due to slow load-out in Brazil
· Nearby corn firmed following Valero's announcement that they would be running near 100%
capacity in their ethanol sector
· Some rationing concerns are being talked about as early harvest will be later in 2013
· There is some potential frost damage to the Argentine bean crop, yet to be confirmed
Some grain sales targets are forth coming this week.

TRENTON >> Two charges filed by a city police officer against Edward Forchion, aka NJ Weedman, may go up in smoke.
The criminal activity allegedly occurred when Forchion appeared in a video that was shot outside his restaurant on May 10 and was subsequently posted to social media. In the clip, Trenton cops are at his restaurant when the weed advocate repeatedly calls officer Herbert Flowers a "pedophile" and a "big boy who (expletive) with little girls."
In the video, Flowers appears to laugh off the verbal assault and at one point puts his arms in the air with a smile, responding "Yep, you said it."
But several days later, Forchion was taken out of his eatery and pot temple in handcuffs and charged with disorderly conduct and cyber-harassment.
"I can't believe this dude handed me such a platform to speak about free speech," Forchion said Monday in a Facebook post, calling the charges bulls**t. "Since officer tender-butt Flowers reads my (Facebook) I want to Thank you Officer Flowers I didn't have a lawyer until u made a ASS of yourself filing phoney/false charges because your feeling got hurt. Ps - don't get Butthurt in the future just keep it moving."
But Forchion is not alone in believing the charges are unjust.
Attorney Edward Heyburn said Monday he is assuming all of Forchion's criminal and civil rights civil cases following the "preposterous" arrest.
"Trenton is filled with corrupt cops and that corruption goes all the way up to Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri," Heyburn said. "Not only are the charges unconstitutional, they're absurd and they make a mockery of what the law was actually intended to prevent. It's a scare tactic because they know that my client doesn't have a lot of money."
Adding to the outcry, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Jersey also said Monday that neither of the charges "appear to be sustainable."
In the disorderly persons complaint, Flowers cites "offensive language" against law enforcement officers in a public and social media forum as the crux of the charge.
ACLU attorney Alexander Shalom said the offensive language charge in the disorderly conduct statute has been ruled unconstitutional by the state appellate courts three decades ago.
"It wasn't ruled unconstitutional last week or last month, it was ruled unconstitutional in 1985," Shalom said. "So this isn't the one where we should give law enforcement a pass and say, 'Well, maybe they're not just reading all the latest cases.' This is a ticket that they shouldn't have written because for the last three decades, it's been unconstitutional to write such a ticket."
For the cyber-harassment charge, Shalom said Flowers omitted a necessary element of the crime in the complaint.
"The law doesn't criminalize any time you use a social networking site to emotionally harm someone," the ACLU attorney said, noting thousands of spurned lovers throughout New Jersey would then be violating the law. "Instead, what it criminalizes is when you post something that is obscene or lewd that is intended to emotionally harm someone. There's no allegation that's what Mr. Forchion did."
Furthermore, Shalom said calling the police officer a "pedophile" is "insulting and rude, but it's not obscene or lewd."
"Both of the charges should be thrown out," the ACLU attorney said. "It seems like the officer was using the criminal law to enforce his petty grievances."
Coincidentally, Forchion's attorney has filed a civil rights case against Flowers in another matter.
"Flowers by all accounts is a troubled cop," Heyburn said. "He's abused and terrorized Trenton residents for years. The Trenton police internal affairs has known this. They've chosen not to do anything about it."
Attorneys also picked apart the attention authorities have paid to NJ Weedman recently given the violent crime epidemic in the city.
Last month, Mercer County Narcotics Task Force raided Forchion's businesses, which includes a restaurant, religious sanctuary and tobacco shop, on East State Street and allegedly seized more than $19,000 in marijuana.
During the raid, 11 people, including Forchion, were arrested for various offenses. Some were apprehended in connection with outstanding warrants, and others were charged with new drug offenses.
His restaurant, NJ Weedman's Joint, was also shut down temporarily due to health violations.
"We've been reading a lot about the real and serious crime problems going on in Trenton," Shalom said. "Rather than enforcing low-level marijuana crimes and inventing crimes that don't exist, the Trenton police would be better suited to be focused on the real crime that's plaguing that city."
Heyburn claimed the prosecutor's office and police are "not focusing on the shooting and the killings." "What they've done is use all of that as a pretext to target my client and the people that frequent his establishment and try to put him out of business when there's been no issues of violence in his place whatsoever," Heyburn said, adding Forchion's activism is about peace. "They may not like his message saying, 'F**K the police,' but this is America. I think sometimes Trenton officials forget that it is America, they think that they run this place like Nazi Germany. I'm going to make sure that my client's rights are protected as well as other people that are victims of the Trenton police."
During Forchion's arrest, police also charged him with marijuana possession because Heyburn said police found "a roach" on the brim of his hat.
"There obviously have been no lab reports to indicate it was actual marijuana or whether it was just paper," Heyburn said.
Heyburn intends to reach out to Trenton Mayor Eric Jackson, who has advocated for community policing.
"He's at the top of the food chain," the attorney said. "He's allowing the police to terrorize his residents so he has some responsibility here. His hands aren't clean. He can't expect that the Trenton residents are going to trust the police when he's sitting back allowing them to file bogus charges."
Trenton Police Director Ernest Parrey did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

By: Duane Alverson, President
MacDonald Broadcasting Company (Saginaw & Lansing)
We have never had so many choices! Just look at how many different screens you can watch March Madness on this year. And most of them are not sitting in your living room in front of your favorite chair.
The proliferation of media choices in the last 10 years is amazing. Growing up, I remember three choices when it came to broadcast television: NBC, CBS and ABC. Yes, I'm dating myself; but, it wasn't that long ago. Today there are so many choices that one has a hard time staying connected with them all. This is especially true when you include all the new choices now found on digital platforms.
So, it's no wonder why advertisers are confused and frustrated as to where to invest their hard earned marketing dollars.
But wait. Instead of wrestling over all the choices, we suggest another approach—an approach that works no matter where your audience is seeing or hearing it.
Get the Message?
No matter if it's on the big screen, the handheld screen, or on no screen at all, a great message makes any advertising platform successful. By the same token, no advertising platform succeeds without a great message. In fact, the research proves it.
Roy H. Williams, author of the Wizard of Ads, points out just how important a great message is in generating results with your advertising investments, no matter what medium you select. It serves as a great reminder about what's really important when it comes to advertising your business.
Great advertising messages need to be about your customers — not about your business! Far too often, advertising messages are all about you and your product/service…all about what you think is great. But truly great advertising messages are all about your customers:
- What problems they have, how you understand them, and how you can solve them.
- Their hopes and aspirations, and how your product allows them to achieve them.
- Why people feel great about doing business with your company.
- Why they drive by all the players in your category to do business with you.
Walk in their Shoes to Sell them Shoes
I remember first learning this some 30 years ago when I first came into this business. The saying went like this: "If you're going to sell what Jim Jones buys, you better learn to sell through Jim Jones's eyes."
The right message resonates, regardless of medium. And the best messages play on the small screen and big screen alike. To take just one example I saw watching college basketball last weekend, the Capital One commercial with Sir Charles eating his snack out of his backwards hoodie played well on every screen. Large and small. I know…I saw it on both!
Message received? Only if it's a good one!

LOS ANGELES (AP) Dry and gusty Santa Ana winds sweeping through Southern California are predicted to bring days of critical fire weather conditions.
Red Flag warnings by the National Weather Service began late Sunday and will last through Thursday.
Meteorologists say relative humidity levels will plunge into the single digits and teens. Officials have dedicated extra resources to fire-prone areas.
Forecasters say it could be the strongest and longest Santa Ana wind event so far this season, with gusts capable of bringing down tree branches and power lines.
Peak gusts are expected to range from about 40 mph (64 kph) to 60 mph (96 kph) in wind-prone areas. Isolated gusts could hit 80 mph (129 kph) in the mountains.

Last Saturday after an invigorating morning marching with the Women's March in St. Louis, I headed out to more sparsely populated regions.
Mostly it was to enjoy a natural area and get that reassuring sense of gravity that such places always provide even in the face of a clearly provoking political situation such as we have now.
For I have been disturbed, sleepless even, at the thought of how low the Presidency will be brought and how much respect the institution will lose. For this will happen. It's already happening.
But I can forget this, for a little while at least, while walking the floodplain. The ground beneath my feet will survive as it has already through the massive river flooding that at times put everywhere I stood and looked at beneath water. There's a pole at the confluence about 20 feet high that represents the 1993 high water mark. Yet the trees survived this and thrived anew in the silt enriched earth once the waters receded. Thinking of these things adds a little perspective. People can deny reality, but reality has a sneaky way to catching up with you sooner or later. The earth endures and will do so long after I'm gone just as it did before I was born. I find this thought reassuring.

What Clinical Teams Should Know About Changing Trial Logistics
When it comes to clinical supplies, the journey is every bit as important as the destination. And these days, the journey of clinical supplies to investigator sites is becoming costlier and more complex, much like the global trials for which the materials are bound.
The price of failure is high. A supply shortfall, or the inability to deliver needed supplies to clinical sites, can delay the start of a trial or cause an ongoing one to grind to a halt. Supply shortages can imperil an entire development program and prevent study patients from receiving the drugs a sponsor has committed to provide.
It's no wonder that supply chain logistics are estimated to account for as much as 25 percent of total annual pharmaceutical R&D costs1. These cost pressures are projected to grow as a result of an evolution that is altering the clinical trial landscape and generating complex supply chain challenges.
Much in the way that a GPS constantly adjusts to accommodate shifting traffic patterns and other obstacles, clinical supply chain logistics are adapting to accommodate these developments.
In addition to discussing how supply logistics are changing, this paper contains examples of how Fisher Clinical Services is deploying flexible solutions to ensure secure, efficient and cost-effective passage of clinical supplies.

My favorite kinds of poems are those about dogs, and my favorite books have dogs on the cover, as main characters and somewhere in the storyline.
I've written a few poems, which I showed off last year in my blog. You can check those out (which I highly encourage) under Canine Poetry or Poetry.
You may question my ability to write poetry given that I'm a dog. I can and have, plus I am working on a children's book with me as the main character. It certainly will be a bestseller given how popular I am.
Wherever I go, people want to pet me, and they say that I'm cute, pretty, beautiful and soft (I have the best fur coat from my oatmeal shampoo). As they fawn over me, I pretty much can guess that they're ranking my cuteness factor an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
Here's an example of my poetic talent:
An everyday dog's view By Zoey the Cute Dachshund
What I see every day you don't with your busyness and wanting to be something important. I get to lie down on paws, look out the window bark at passersby, mostly dogs, as I blog about life, not caring if what I say means extravagance, just a simple thought that I'm okay just lying here dreaming.

Simon Ellin, Chief Executive, The Recycling Association
Jacob Hayler, Executive Director, Environmental Services Association
Dr Thérèse Coffey MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
17 October 2017
Dear fellow resource professionals,
Thank you for copying me into the letter you wrote to Resources Minister Thérèse Coffey dated 27 September, asking her to take urgent action on the Chinese government's proposed tighter import controls on waste materials. In the letter you also asked for my considered response which is set out here.
What we know so far
To summarise what we currently know, in July this year China notified the World Trade Organization that it intends to forbid the import of 24 kinds of solid wastes by the end of 2017. The filing with the WTO covers:
- Eight categories of plastics waste (covering LDPE, HDPE, PET, PVC and PS) from living sources (we take this to mean post-consumer)
- One type of paper waste (unsorted mixed papers)
- Eleven types of textile wastes (not clothing)
- And four types of metal slag (containing vanadium).
Following this, in August China announced that it would set new standards limiting all imported recycled materials to a maximum contamination level of 0.3 per cent (update: as of 17 November this increased to 0.5 per cent).
If implemented, these extreme measures would effectively prevent the export of all household plastic packaging for recycling and all mixed paper for recycling from the UK to China. We currently export over one million tonnes of recovered mixed papers and around 180 thousand tonnes of post-consumer recovered plastic packaging to China. These make up around 70 per cent of our mixed paper exports and around 25 per cent of our plastic packaging exports.
We need to consider what we can do, working collaboratively, to respond to the substantial challenges posed by these restrictions and to secure a thriving recycling supply chain for paper and plastics, which benefits the UK both economically and environmentally. For me, any response needs to consider two angles – quality and markets.
Quality is paramount
We all need to recognise that improving the quality of recycled materials is critical to the continued growth and success of the whole recycling supply chain. China and other countries importing recovered materials need to feel confident we are not dumping our waste on them, but providing them with high quality materials that can be used to create value while conserving resources and reducing environmental impacts.
The question of how to deliver consistently high quality recovered materials has been debated repeatedly in recent years, but finding solutions has now become critical in light of China's proposed restrictions. If we want UK recovered materials to be the first choice for foreign and domestic reprocessors and manufacturers who use this content in their goods, then we need both to improve the quality of the materials collected for recycling and the quality of the cleaned and sorted materials put up for sale.
Following the global economic crisis of 2008, quality recovered materials continued to find markets. In this situation too, there will continue to be other potential markets for our materials, if we can raise our game. We already export nearly as much plastic packaging to other European countries as we do to China, for example. However, other countries will compete with the UK to supply quality secondary plastic packaging materials; and data from the MF portal show that we are not currently producing sufficiently high quality products to compete effectively in the future. If MRF operators can improve their own infrastructure and processes to produce high quality plastics streams, they will be sought after by importers.
Meeting a maximum contamination level of 0.3 per cent for paper exports to China will be very challenging with the systems we currently have in place. Again, data from the MF portal shows that we are currently nowhere near meeting this stringent standard, and it may only be possible to do so with paper that is collected separately. Most players in our sector agree that collecting paper separately from glass is essential to produce a quality product suitable for closed loop recycling. With China taking 75 per cent of our total recovered paper exports we have to question whether single stream commingled collections are fit for the future. We do now have advances in bin technology that mean a three-box system can occupy the same space as a single commingled recycling bin. In this way, we can make it easier for citizens to separate materials for recycling.
Secondary markets
For mixed papers, the market outside China has been extremely limited. If China stops taking mixed papers for recycling, in effect the UK will need to phase out this grade. However, higher quality paper collected separately will continue to find markets in the UK, Europe and further afield (including China). This may mean that we need to change the way we collect and / or sort paper for recycling – separating newspapers from packaging more effectively in the UK.
For plastics, the picture is more complex:
- PET and HDPE plastic bottles already have very strong markets (for example, for food grade bottles, pipes, polyester fibres) and are high value products. If the quality is good and contamination low, they will be easy to sell.
- Similarly PP pots, tubs and trays have good markets (for example, for construction and automotive products).
- The challenge is with PET trays, PS and PVC. The markets for these are very limited.
To address this, we really need to rationalise the polymers we use in packaging to HDPE/PET bottles and PP pots, tubs and trays.
Designing packaging to ensure it is more readily recyclable is one of the goals of WRAP's Framework for Greater Consistency in Household Recycling for England. As you know, we have a cross-sector working group working on a roadmap to deliver this. The China situation makes this work more urgent. The other opportunity, also being promoted in the Framework is to use more recycled material directly in the manufacture of plastic packaging. The recent commitment to use 50 per cent recycled content (even if it costs more) by Coca Cola is very welcome and a great example of the leadership we need to see from others. This cross-value chain collaboration is also at the heart of the New Plastics Economy, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
I will leave Defra to reply concerning policy measures, but I am sure that their thinking about this will feed into the new Resources and Waste Strategy announced by the Secretary of State in July. Measures such as moving away from simplistic weight-based targets and options for extended producer responsibility could contribute to increasing quality. The call for evidence on Deposit Return Schemes will provide an opportunity to consider whether this approach might have a role to play too.
WRAP would be delighted to convene a round table to bring together key players from across relevant supply chains to identify common solutions. From this, we can develop a shared action plan to ensure we continue to realise economic and environmental benefits through recycling. We need to keep in mind that resource management and recycling avoids around 60Mt CO2e each year, contributes some £7 billion in GVA to our economy and produces around £3 billion worth of exports of secondary materials.
I look forward to working with you to find solutions to this urgent problem.
Yours sincerely,
Marcus Gover
Chief Executive, WRAP
Our vision is a world where resources are used sustainably.

Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe opens with an extremely quick rundown of Robinson's family life: he was born in 1632; his parents are German, and left their hometown of Bremen to settle in Hull, in England. They are middle-class, and Robinson's father strongly advocates a middle-class life for Robinson too, encouraging him to pursue law as a profession. Both of Robinson's brothers are missing one was killed in battle, and the other hasn't been heard from since he began a life of travel and adventure. Robinson wants to pursue travel as well, but is dissuaded by his father. In 1651, against his parents' wishes, however, Robinson leaves on a series of ill-fated voyages in search of indigenous non-Western peoples with whom he can trade. On one such voyage, Robinson's ship is captured by pirates and he is made personal slave to the pirate king. After two years, he manages to escape with a fellow prisoner — a Moor, Xury — and the two are taken in by a Portuguese trading ship and brought to Brazil. Robinson becomes quite friendly with the Captain of the ship and sells Xury to him on the condition that he free Xury in ten years (if, the Captain insists, Xury converts to Protestantism). Robinson sets up a plantation in Brazil, growing tobacco, and it quickly begins prospering. Though he could stay and continue to manage his plantation, however, Robinson is struck with the urge to take to sea again, and leaves on a voyage that will eventually lead to disaster. The ship encounters a huge storm, and Robinson is the only survivor to make it onshore a deserted island. He begins to make a life on the island, and will stay there for 28 years.

Over the years, I've argued that most "mission" in the world is carried out by everyday Christians, not "professional missionaries". The best example of this phenomenon that I've come across in a long time comes from the UnHerd news website:
Several years ago, I spent a significant amount of time in East Africa, researching the involvement of local Christian denominations in politics. While in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, I learned that China was engaged in significant infrastructure building, including a major roads project that locals referenced with a nickname that I could never quite make out: they were either calling it "the Confucian Road" or "the Confusion Road." Both labels accurately apply to the impact of China's growing presence in Africa, not only for the African nations, but also for China itself.
Much has been made of the influx of Chinese money and workers into Africa over the past two decades, as China has become the primary economic partner for the continent. Both the China Africa Research Initiative (CARI) at Johns Hopkins University and the consulting firm McKinsey & Company have compiled the numbers – and they're staggering. China-Africa trade reached a high of $215 billion in 2014; $143 billion in Chinese loans have poured in to Africa between 2000 and 2017, and annual inflows of foreign direct investment have exceeded $3 billion in recent years.
McKinsey says there are around 10,000 Chinese-owned firms operating in Africa. CARI's data shows over 227,000 Chinese workers in Africa as of 2016, though others say the number is nearer 1 million.
Much of the commentary on this relationship has focused on whether this is good for Africa; cash infusion and needed infrastructure development versus the danger of long-term debt and Chinese neocolonialism. Equally important, though largely overlooked, are the impacts that this growing relationship will have on China. The intention is to import much-needed natural resources for China's huge economy, but this link is also causing China to import something that it has been trying to eliminate at home: religion, and particularly Evangelical Christianity…
…Hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens have gone to work in Africa, where they have encountered foreign cultures that leave many of them feeling alienated. For some of these disaffected Chinese workers, a source of comfort has come from religion, most notably the Evangelical Christianity that pervades much of sub-Saharan Africa. Evangelicalism prioritises conversion of non-believers, and the Chinese, heavily discouraged from practicing religion at home, are attractive potential converts.
Many local African churches have reached out to Chinese workers, including incorporating Mandarin into services. A number of Chinese, in turn, have welcomed the sense of community and belonging that these Christian churches offer. And a small but growing number of ethnically Chinese missionaries from Taiwan and other countries are specifically targeting Chinese nationals in Africa, preaching to them with a freedom they'd never be allowed in the People's Republic.
Many of these Chinese workers are returning home, and they're bringing their newfound religion with them. Visitors to the coastal province of Fujian, for example, now hear South African accented English and see houses adorned with crosses.
Make sure that you read the whole article.
Through history, migration has probably been the most important feature in the transmission of Christianity. Christians have taken their faith with them when they move to new areas and others, as in this story, have encountered Christ when they have moved to new parts of the world. Migration into the UK brings hope to the UK as believers from parts of the world where the faith is more vibrant and thriving move here, but it also brings huge opportunities as those from areas where it is difficult to be Christians have the opportunity to encounter Jesus for the first time. Are we making the best of both the hope and the opportunity?

To say last week was a rough week at work would be an understatement. My vocation is at times physically demanding and nearly daily mentally taxing. I build and install electrical signs. Some signs are easier to make than others and some installation sites are in less than desirable locations. But this is what I do to support my ministry hobby.
At least I am in good company because God was the first sign installer. It's true right there in Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years. Admittedly God's signs are considerably more impressive than the ones I put up.
Like most people I sometimes think my job is a curse or a punishment. The truth is work was never intended as either. Man was immediately given work upon creation. Genesis 2:15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. Not only did God create man but he created him with a desire to work and a purpose to accomplish. It was after sin entered the world that work became difficult. As God declared punishment on man and woman for their sin He said; Genesis 3:17-19 And to the man he said, "Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it. 18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains. 19 By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return." Notice work was not the punishment just difficulty in the work. Work is not a curse. But the curse, that came as a result of sin, made work much harder. It still holds true that we are given a purpose in work but, it is through toilsome labor that we have food and provisions.
Almost all of us know the difficulty in working as unto the Lord. Solomon, who was the wisest man who ever lived, gave us these words of encouragement; Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. 13 And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God. Also in 3:22 So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life. And no one can bring us back to see what happens after we die.
Work will never be truly satisfying to those who strive for riches, status, or power. But for those who recognize work is a gift from God it is possible to enjoy life and the provisions we are given.
