Gabi mentioned on twitter the other day that the dog is going to enjoy the thanksgiving left overs. This had a lot of people asking what dog so I thought I’d introduce you.
When the in-laws moved out of the house they left the dog behind to guard the place. His name is Chase and I guess they call him that because that’s what he wants to do.
Left alone for 6 years he went a little feral and when we first got here we couldn’t get anywhere near his area. The first time I tried to feed him was with a metal pole and he bit it with bone breaking force.
Over the months though he’s slowly learned what it’s like to have humans around again has chilled out. In fact when I went down to get this picture he sat down well out of my way so I could feed him, then sat on my feet so I wouldn’t leave until I gave him some attention.
Father and law came over every other day, he was lonely but well fed.

PHILADELPHIA, November 4, 2015, Penton Technology, the company behind The VAR Guy, MSPmentor, Talkin’ Cloud and the Web Hosting Industry Review (WHIR) among other destination Web sites for channel providers and technology companies, has honored Cloudnexa with its 2015 “Maverick Award” for standout achievement.
The award is given to the company that Penton Technologys editors believe best exemplifies standout achievement in terms of technology deployment and business innovation. Throughout 2015, Cloudnexa has pushed boundaries in terms of defining go-to-market practices, intellectual property development, customer enablement and more.
Founded in 2008, Cloudnexa is a managed cloud provider that helps clients realize the full utility of cloud computing on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Philadelphia-based company specializes in providing managed services, provisioning and migration assistance around the AWS cloud platform, particularly to midmarket businesses and government organizations that are increasingly adopting cloud technologies. Cloudnexa’s utility-based pricing model, which is unique among MSPs, enables customers to pay for services as an additional percentage on top of their monthly AWS spend.
In addition, the company has developed its own proprietary “vNOC Management Platform” umbrella, “stateless, single-page application that presents a global view of the customer’s AWS architecture.” The company is certified as a Premier Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and an audited AWS Managed Service Partner.
In October 2015, Cloudnexa also unveiled its White Label Managed Service Program (MSP), which allows existing APN members to expand their businesses by offering Cloudnexa managed services to their customers. This development followed news in July when the company introduced automated provisioning for AWS customers that simplified and enhanced cloud adoption.
“For these and a host of other achievements, we honor Cloudnexa for its standout work,” said Doyle.

In our industry we’re always having to think ahead which is why our year always goes so quickly.
When everyone is thinking about what they’re going to wear for their Christmas party we’re already making suggestions about where you should hold your Summer get together!
If we don’t get organised then neither will our clients and this only leads to disappointment when your summer event has to be on a Thursday in June and all the great venues are already booked up.
So we are encouraging you to PLAN.
P – Prepare yourself to think 6 months ahead. We know this isn’t always possible but with your annual events encourage the decision makers to get organised and know that the date and venue are secured well in advance.
L – Learn about what your target audience really wants. It may seem strange asking them what they like and don’t like but you’ll reap the benefits when attendance increases for your next event by delivering what your audience are wanting.
A – Analyse why you’re holding the event. It may seem like a silly question but there should always be a reason or objective for holding the event and if you’re not sure what it is then why are you holding it? Establish an objective so you can gauge the success and return on investment.
N – Negotiate the best possible rates to stay within your budget. That is where we, as an agency, prove our worth. Our contacts with venues means that not only do we get you the best possible rates but we negotiate you added value for your event too.
So next time you look at your event schedule – PLAN – and pick up the phone to us to deliver the best event you’ve done yet!

In addition to being a naturally occurring trace mineral in horse rations, cobalt has also been associated with the doping of racehorses around the world. So, what are the functions of cobalt in the body? What is the recommended requirement for cobalt, and what are safe amounts to feed in rations for racehorses?
Cobalt is an essential trace mineral used by microorganisms in the horse’s caecum and colon in the synthesis of vitamin B12. Cobalt in the form of vitamin B12 is needed, together with iron and copper, in the formation of red blood cells (erythropoiesis).
The NRC 2007 requirement for cobalt is set to 0.05 mg per kg dry matter in the ration. This means that an adult horse, weighing 500 kg, will need 0,5 – 0,7 mg per day. A cobalt deficiency would be expected to result in a vitamin B12 deficiency. However, cobalt or vitamin B12 deficiency has not been reported in horses, and is difficult or impossible to induce experimentally. This implies that under normal conditions horses receive enough cobalt to sustain the intestinal microbes in their synthesis of vitamin B12.
Cobalt is found in natural horse feeds in minute amounts. Typical concentrations in forage will be 0.04-0.08 mg per kg dry matter, and lower for grains. However, these values may vary between areas and countries based on their local soils.
Compound feeds for horses typically contain 0.3-0.9 mg per kg and mineral supplements from 5-20 mg per kg, depending on the daily amounts recommended by the producer (normally less than 100 grams/d).
Recently, reports have appeared about horse trainers who have supplemented horses with much higher amounts of cobalt than recommended, presumably believing that high intakes can increase the production of red blood cells. Whether it works or not is not known. One of the big concerns is the negative side effects of overdosing horses with cobalt. In humans, overdoses have reportedly led to organ damage, impaired thyroid activity and even to death.
Some studies showed that after oral administration of high doses of cobalt (more than 200 mg/d) to racehorses, no positive effects on red blood cells were found. Instead of physiological changes that could help a horse to run faster or endure more sustained levels of activity, the opposite was observed: profuse sweating, muscle trembling, restless circling, horses dropping to their knees, and brief periods of collapse.
Feeding cobalt in the recommended daily amounts leads to blood levels of 0.5 – 3 micrograms per litre. When it comes to doping regulations, an upper threshold for cobalt in the blood plasma of racehorses has been set at 25 micrograms per litre and in urine at 100 micrograms per litre. To obtain such levels of cobalt in blood or in urine you would have to feed cobalt in amounts far above the recommended amounts, or to inject the element directly into the blood stream.
Pegus can calculates the cobalt requirement for all types of horses, and also calculates the total amount of cobalt in each ration. By using PC-Horse when composing your rations, you will always know what the requirement of each individual horse is and how much cobalt each ration contains.

Things go from bad to worse, as if that’s even possible, though you do have to be paying some attention to realise.
This chapter, in large part, is about seeing glimpse of what Pienya could have been, given better role models. We catch a glimpse of what might have happened if she’d ever felt part of the wider King’s Eyes network. Of course, she did have good role models, but instead leaned heavily on Queen Anja, who it’s turned out is perhaps not the best of people.
This is the middle part of a mini-trilogy inside this arc, where events in Treydolain come to a head. I’m aware that the characters I’m dealing with on this side of the story are supporting or minor characters, so hopefully they’re still engaging and there isn’t frustration at being away from the core group.
THAT SAID, while this Treydolain-set sequence is important to the overall plot, it’s also a way to draw out the tensions and sense of despair after Fenris & co arrived on the other side of the mountains to find it a desolate wasteland. This part of the story is about dragging everyone down into the mire, and we haven’t yet got to the point where they can hit bottom and push back up to the surface.
There’s a few real world political reference points in this chapter which I hopefully deal with more subtly than back in ‘Late warning signs’ (which marks a rare instance of me going back and tweaking dialogue in a post-publication edit). It’s a brief, almost throwaway reference in the chapter, but demonstrates the benefits of having named minor characters. Hearing what is happening to the top tier families is one thing, but having encountered some of the nobility in earlier chapters we have ae more direct reference point.
What makes this more interesting is that the Verase family was demonstrated to be morally fairly dubious and highly scheming, so they’re hardly innocent bystanders caught up in the political fallout. That helps to emphasise that TMC isn’t really a goodies-vs-baddies story – although it skews pretty close at times – and that it’s aiming to depict something messier.

FLINT — Numerous cases of bottled water have been discovered inside a former school in Flint, Michigan.
The Flint Journal reports the water was found by two people who were inside an old school next to the former St. Agnes Church. Jimmy Cowell shared his video with the newspaper. He says he was "dumbfounded" to see water mixed with debris in the building.
Torres says he's not sure if water found in the old school was part of his 2016 delivery. He says many families were taking water home that same day.

I was always a shy kid, a classic introvert. In school I’d always prefer to play on my own or read books in the quiet than to interact and engage with other children.
School was the hardest in terms of dealing with social anxiety. I was much taller than the other kids and this made me self-conscious. My peers would often bully or taunt me for my height, and I would take these remarks to heart and it would make me withdraw and fear people and social settings even more.
In high school my anxiety remained the same. I’d fear everything involving people; including catching public transport, eating in front of others, attending birthdays or places where there’d be heaps of people, talking to my peers (especially boys!), giving presentations, going to a grocery store, walking along the street, talking on the phone, and even sending an email!
All these situations ignited great fear within me and I would become overly conscious of myself and my behaviour in social interactions, the classic ‘spotlight effect’.
It wasn’t until graduating from high school and starting university that I began to acknowledge my behaviours and the thoughts which may have been contributing to my anxiety. I began seeking self-help books which dealt with social anxiety and CBT, and worked on myself to counteract the negative automatic thoughts I’d have.
From this, my anxiety relieved enormously. However it wasn’t until I begun the Learn to Live online program in conjunction with daily meditation that I saw tremendous results.
I finished the Learn to Live program within 3 months, and in this short time I found my whole mindset and approach to social anxiety change for the better. Through the online coursework I was able to adapt the new knowledge and coping strategies and use them in social settings which would usually cause me great anxiety.
This program is different to others I have tried in terms of its format and its use of tailored CBT strategies for social anxiety sufferers. It gave me a challenge; something to work towards and commit to. I would start a new module each week and commit myself to doing the activities outlined.
Obviously it wasn’t an easy process. Essentially I was training myself to do the absolute opposite of what I’d usually do in situations which caused me fear. Instead of avoiding situations like I usually would, I would make myself confront them and stick to them until the initial fear all but disappeared. From talking to a stranger on the street, to striking up a conversation with a store person, or calling and making my own appointments.
By exposing myself to fearful situations and reminding myself of the practical strategies outlined on the program, I was able to overcome my fears and realise that I have much more inner strength than I realised.
One of the turning points was when I decided to attend a big event by myself. It included meeting and talking to a celebrity. I was so anxious beforehand, but because I was aware of these thoughts I knew how to counteract them and relax.
Not only did I make new friends, I also managed to hold a conversation with the celebrity and ask for a picture!
From this event I’ve continued to improve in leaps and bounds. I can happily walk down a street or go shopping without feeling that crushing sense of self-consciousness and fear of what people think of me. I have no qualms about picking up a phone and talking to a stranger. I initiate 90% of my conversations with strangers, friends, and family.
Rather than fearing social settings, I now look at them as ‘challenges’ and find I actually end up enjoying being in these situations.
One of my favourite things to do now is to sit and eat at a café in the city – by myself. I also feel calm and confident in my social interactions, to the point that now talking casually to a stranger in passing or with a co-worker is second nature.
Of course there have been times where I’ve felt my old feelings of crippling fear and anxiety. Sometimes it has been a case of 3 steps forward and 5 steps back. The difference now though is that I am now aware of the reasons behind my behaviours and am able to effectively deal with the anxiety as soon as it arises.
Through continued training with CBT and the modules on Learn to Live, these positive coping strategies are starting to become – and will end up – being my normal way of behaving.
Dealing with social anxiety is extremely prohibiting. It can make you feel alienated, alone, and like there’s something wrong with you. In my experience, the worst part was having others think that you were arrogant or rude or disinterested in them, when in fact, the opposite was true!
Such behaviours which I used as coping strategies included avoiding eye contact, pretending to not ‘see’ someone as to avoid conversation, covering my mouth while I ate, letting others do the talking in groups, and completely withdrawing from people, to name a few.
I can never thank Dr. Russ and the team at Learn to Live enough for helping me to realise that social anxiety is not who I am and that essentially, I am in control of how I choose to let this fear dictate me.
Social anxiety is not a sign of weakness, moreover it is a heightened sense of awareness of your own thoughts and behaviours in social settings. Once you begin to learn this, it becomes easy to begin changing these negative and prohibiting thoughts and behaviours and to start accepting yourself for who you are and learn to live as the interesting, confident, and fun person you really are!

Bhurijana dasa develops a school in Pennsylvania for the first generation of Krsna conscious children in the West.
I often make the three-hour drive from Philadelphia to Gita-nagari, the Krsna conscious farm community in the fertile Juniata Valley, about fifty miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Two of my children board at the school there. But the visit is a great pleasure for many reasons. Gita-nagari has become a place of pilgrimage for me, a source of spiritual restoration. Coming out of the hard-surfaced city, that monstrous machine for making money and ragging the senses, where devotion to God hangs in as a tenuous and frail anomaly, I enter a complete community where the devotional spirit sustains and pervades every part of it. This, a peaceful rural village, is the natural setting for Krsna consciousness. From here the play of light over forested hills rising in steps to the sky and the vast moving composition of clouds are all redolent of Krsna. Here I see people living as people are meant to live. Gita-nagari is the homeland of the soul.
To me Gita-nagari is also the future. I become acutely aware of this when I visit the school to see how the first generation of Americans born into Krsna consciousness are being brought up in devotional service. And here I can fulfill one of the main objectives of my pilgrimage: to spend time with a devotee who is fully absorbed in creating that future, the headmaster of the school my children attend, Bhurijana dasa.
I first met Bhurijana and his wife Jagattarani in 1976, when my wife Saudamani and I took our five-year-old son Yudhisthira to enroll in the school for boys at Gita-nagari. It had only recently opened, starting from scratch with ten children, but we were happy to have a school close by where we could keep our eyes on Yudhisthira and watch what was happening. For although my wife and I were both fully committed to the Krsna consciousness movement and willing to follow the direction of Srila Prabhupada, our spiritual master, in the matter of raising and educating our children, we still had large misgivings about what the school might be like.
We were convinced of the need to set up a whole alternative school system for devotee children, but we also recognized that the beginnings of such an enterprise were bound to be difficult, full of false starts and mistakes. Most devotees were rather young and inexperienced, and trial and error was the only way to build a working system.
Working through a rough moment. Bhurijana teaches lsvara Puri to deal with problem through Krsna consciousness.
So although I immediately liked Bhurijana, one part of me measured him in a. more dispassionate and critical light. After all, I was turning my own child over to him.
Still, Saudamani and I quickly established close relations with Bhurijana and Jagattarani. At that time the boys’ school was in a small two-story building with one big classroom, two smaller rooms with child-sized bunk-beds, and one room for Bhurijana, Jagattarani, and their two-year-old daughter, Vrndavana-lila. The school was modeled on the Vedic guru-kula system, in which boys at five years go to live in the house of their guru, or spiritual master. As a representative of Srila Prabhupada, Bhurijana was much more than the boys’ academic instructor; he was their constant companion and exemplar, living closely with them to guide the formation of their character.
With skillfully formulated questions, Bhurijana holds the attention of children on various grade levels, a necessity for a one-room schoolhouse.
Character formation is one of the main goals of the gurukula system, and it requires that the students have continuous and intimate association with a teacher who instructs them by the example of his own conduct. This system naturally demanded a high standard of behavior from the teachers in Gita-nagari—not just from Bhurijana but also from Jagattarani, who saw to it that the boys were properly bathed, clothed, fed, rested, and so on. In effect, Bhurijana and Jagattarani had taken on a family of ten boys, and I was fairly awed by the heroic self-sacrifice they were rather cheerfully undertaking. While the gurukula style of education is immeasurably superior to the sort of American factory schooling I had been subjected to, I could see that it must be rough on the teacher, even if he’s a saint. “You stay with ten boys all day long?” I asked Bhurijana in amazement on one visit. “How do you stand it?” “Some days,” he said, “they drive me up the wall.” I could believe it.
Gita-nagari students learn American history on a field trip to the nation’s capital.
Saudamani and I soon felt sufficiently at ease with Bhurijana to be frank about our misgivings concerning gurukula education. These were mostly about academics. My wife and I had between us garnered a large store of educational experience. We were both university graduates, and I had gone on to graduate school. She had taught in elementary school; I had taught college students as well as preschool children. With our dreadful experience of the low and ever-sinking standard of literacy in American schools, we thought that almost anything would be an improvement, but we were still concerned about the inexperience of devotee teachers and possessed by a nagging worry that the emphasis on spiritual development and character-building would lead to a neglect of academic learning. Moreover, I had already begun to formulate plans for our movement’s own university. What kind of students would the lower schools be sending us?
Bhurijana straightforwardly confessed that he had almost no curriculum and few books. He was planning his lessons one step ahead of the students, developing curricula as he went along. Yet two features of the school particularly impressed me as so intelligently conceived that most of my apprehensions were set to rest. The first was the adoption of the old-fashioned method of the one-room schoolhouse, in which a single teacher can instruct children of all different grades. The students get individual assignments from their teacher, prepare their lessons at their desks, and then one by one bring their completed work to the teacher, who corrects it, instructs them, and sends them back with new assignments. Not only is this an eminently practical method for a small school, but it also frees each student to work at his own pace, without being slowed or rushed by the demands of mass instruction.
The second impressive feature was the method adopted for teaching the children to read. Before coming to Gita-nagari, Bhurijana, together with Jagadisa dasa, the superintendent for all the gurukula schools, had investigated various programs for teaching reading. They discovered a reading series written by Clarence Barnhart, of dictionary fame, and Leonard Bloomfield, one of the most respected linguists of the century. Bhurijana was enthusiastic: the children learned to read quickly and effortlessly.
a race through the forest.
Over the years I grew close to Bhurijana, coming to know him as the teacher of my child, a colleague in Krsna consciousness and in spiritual education, an exemplar of a wholly dedicated devotee, and a friend.
Bhurijana and I had both gone through college during the turmoil of the sixties, both majored in philosophy; we even turned out to have had a migrating professor in common. In 1964 Bhurijana, then Warren Weinstein, had found himself at the University of Buffalo, a freshman on state scholarship going through the motions of school, wondering what for. But in his sophomore year everything changed: the San Francisco Mime Troupe, psychedelic missionaries, visited campus; Bhurijana pilgrimaged westward with friends to the hippie holy lands; his hair grew longer; he bought a motorcycle. None of this helped his grades.
Bhurijana’s wife, Jagattarani, entertains two children with her puppets .
But then in the heady days of the flower children, when the divine became something you could encounter, his early religious feelings came back to life. By his senior year the counterculture had become institutionalized in the U.B. Experimental College. When it offered a course on meditation, Bhurijana signed up, and sitting on the carpet in the back of a crowded room in the student union, he chanted Hare Krsna with Rupanuga dasa, the instructor, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, the Swami whom Allen Ginsberg used to chant with on the Lower East Side. Bhurijana kept on chanting mornings and evenings in his attic apartment, and when he returned for the next class he considered himself a devotee. His spiritual advancement had been moving at a pathetic crawl, if at all; now he found himself aboard a speeding train.
So Bhurijana became a double dropout: from straight society into the counterculture, from the counterculture into Krsna consciousness. And, in a strange way, by going further out, he came back in: he gave up drugs, his hair became shorter and shorter, and by the time his head was completely shaven—save for the distinctive tuft in the back—he was on the Dean’s List.
“This Utopia is different from other Utopias because it is real.” In Montreal he became Srila Prabhupada’s initiated disciple, and repeating the name “Bhurijana” to himself, he hitched his way back to Buffalo for his last semester. He graduated wearing the twin lines of tilaka on his forehead.
Offering obeisances before Krsna in the temple, the boys learn to think of themselves as eternal servants of the Lord .
Somewhat later, on New Year’s Day of 1970, we find Bhurijana arriving, to his surprise, in Tokyo, a missionary going to a lonely outpost. In November he left to open a temple in Hong Kong, and by then he had decided he wanted a wife, a devotee wife. This request went back to the large Krsna community in Los Angeles, where, as it happened, a rising young Australian actress had recently cut short her career to join the temple. Jagattarani, known then as Janne Wesly, had made a name for herself in Australian film and television. But she had become increasingly uncomfortable in the roles she played and in the lubricious and meretricious atmosphere of film society. A growing desire for spiritual wholeness led her to visit regularly the small Krsna temple in Sydney; she loved its pure atmosphere. She would do her singing exercises with the Hare Krsna mantra. Then she got a starring role opposite Mick Jagger in a film about an Australian outlaw named Ned Kelly. This was a major production, and on her way to London for its premier she stopped off in Hollywood, staying in the house of one of the Beach Boys. In Hollywood she saw big-time film life, and when she visited the Los Angeles Krsna temple, its purity was a welcome refuge. She asked to stay for a week, and the day Ned Kelly opened with fanfare in London, she moved into the temple for good.
Four months later she was told about a good young devotee about to start a center in Hong Kong who wanted to get married. Would she consider going to serve there, so she could get to know him and, if things worked out, marry him? Her visa was about to expire anyway, so she decided to try it. The day before she left, an Australian reporter came to interview her at the temple. A few months later in Hong Kong she received from her mother a clipping out of Australia’s most popular tabloid: WEIRD CULT FORCES FAMOUS ACTRESS TO MARRY JAPANESE MONK. It was her last press notice. By then she was Bhurijana’s wife.
Now, ten years later, when I visit Bhurijana and Jagattarani in Gita-nagari, I am enlivened to see how fully they express their talents and aptitudes in devotional service. I generally find Jagattarani surrounded by a tumult of busy children, calmly sewing the ornate and intricate costumes for the children’s plays she puts on, all the while directing the multitude of kids through a variety of simultaneous tasks, dominating the scene with striking stage presence, a star surrounded by bit players. Her room is heaped with beautiful hand puppets in various stages of completion. She and her husband put on elaborate puppet versions of scriptural stories, with lavish changes of scenery, rich sound effects, strobe lights, and smoke bombs. Jagattarani creates the puppets and the sets, and Bhurijana writes the scripts. Bhurijana frequently introduces the plays with two popular comic puppets, the sweetly naive Rasgulla and the cynical and gloomy Skurd, who comments on local affairs and members of the audience and brings down the house.
Bhurijana has instituted a course of learning for the children that includes intensive Bhagavad-gita study, geography, history, mathematics, nature study, music, current events, Sanskrit, and English. His English curriculum is most interesting; it has developed remarkably, and the clever methods he has adopted to teach composition delight the children. They begin writing essays in the first grade and continue to write at every step. They learn how to observe, organize their impressions and ideas, structure paragraphs, expound thought logically; they learn how to generate ideas by directed free-writing, how to refine and polish their work by rewriting and editing. Bhurijana is training them to come out supremely literate and articulate, to become experts in understanding and in expounding the philosophy of Krsna consciousness.
For Krsna is the context and the goal of all study, all work, all play. Bhurijana continues to teach this daily by his own example. He still lives with the boys, rises early in the morning with them, and remains with them throughout the community’s morning devotions in the temple. He has also built a camp for them in the woods, he takes them swimming and hiking, and he shows them the workings of the farm. “I have the idea,” he says, “that they should remember their childhood as fun.” Thus Bhurijana is creating a special childhood for these children. They are growing up happy, strong, intelligent, self-disciplined, and imbued with the spirit of devotion to Krsna.

The distribution of the paleolake basins in mountain areas is analyzed. The description of the genetic features of the lake basin deposits is given. Authors suggest distinguishing the lake period in the history of mountain areas.
Authors suggest new method of gully history reconstruction for the last 50 years, based on 137Cs and 210Pbex-dat-ing of proluvium. The application of this method to a certain gully investigation together with a traditional geologic -geomorphologic studies has allowed to determine the thickness of the gully deposits, to fulfill their detailed stratifi-cation, to reveal the main events of the gully development during the period under consideration. The comparison with the data on land-use and precipitation has helped to suggest possible causes of these events.
Authors consider the geographic map as the main source of information about gully erosion. Special maps of erosion factors make it possible to show the different aspects of the distribution and the development of gully formation. They in-volve quantitative characteristics of gully density, area affected and intensity of the process. The latter may be represented as gully runoff module on the catch basin of the larger links of drainage network.
The adjusted values of average heights of continents (but Antarctica) and height's standard deviations were obtained on -e base of ETOPO 2' data bank. The height distributions (histograms) for the continents and their parts were made by 100-m nervals down to -200 m and for continental margins - by 10-m intervals within the altitude range 100...-200 m.
The structure and texture of the "Hills Formation" give an evidence for existence of variable environments during its sedimentation, dominated by dynamic aquatic conditions with submeridional northern and northwestern transpor-tation of clastic debris along or across the strike of the long axis of hills.
Lakes of the Lower Amur basin are numerous and diverse. Together with the north-west of the Russian Plain and plateau Putorana they consist one of the three main Lake Countries of Russia. The paper concerns their classification and distribution features.
The geomorphology of the lake shorelands and surrounding areas is described. The factors of lake morphogene-sis, the main of which is neotectonics, are discussed. Special attention is paid to social importance of the lake stock of the region.

The church at Corinth was burdened with self-made problems. Endowed with abundant spiritual gifts - and proud of them - the believers were largely failures. Factions, carnality, immaturity, immorality, ignorance and selfishness were charges laid at their door by the Apostle Paul.
e church at Corinth was burdened with self-made problems. Endowed with abundant spiritual gifts - and proud of them - the believers were largely failures. Factions, carnality, immaturity, immorality, ignorance and selfishness were charges laid at their door by the Apostle Paul.
Corinth was the onIy local church addressed by Paul as being "carnal" and immature "babes in Christ" (3:1-4). So pathetic the fellowship, its appraisal was: "Your church services do more harm than good" (11:17). Thus, a church rich in wealth, numbers, popularity and spiritual gifts can go hand-in-hand with an abysmal spiritual condition.
As a corrective for the Christians - and much needed today - Paul declares the divine standard of character and conduct. Holy Spirit fullness (control) is demonstrated in lives by Agape love. All giving to the poor, all sacrifice, even martyrdom - if not motivated by agape - ends up being meaningless (13:1-3).
This "more excellent way" - superior to other spiritual gifts - is described in chapter 13, verses 4-7: "Love endures long and is kind, love is not jealous, love is not for display, it is not conceited or unmannerly, it is neither self-seeking nor irritable, nor does it take account of a suffered wrong.
"It takes no pleasure in injustice, but it sides happily with the truth. It covers up everything, has unquenchable faith, hopes under all circumstances, endures without limit" (Berkeley translation of 1945).
Agape is an impossible standard - for it is the Christ standard. The essence of agape is selflessness, a repudiation of self-interest, self-importance and the humanistic religion of self-esteem. This is the life of Christ - our Pattern.
Agape is patient and kind. Regardless of how I am treated or mistreated, ignored or criticized - I repay with kindness. No matter how much I am provoked, how undeserving others may be - I am not resentful, and I do not retaliate. I speak to the Lord about it.
Love does not envy, and it does not brag. I do not begrudge the success, credit or possessions of anyone else, even though I feel more deserving of them. I am willing to take the back seat and be unacknowledged. I do not exaggerate and foster an inflated impression of myself.
Love is not proud, and it is not inconsiderate. I am not self-centered and do not draw attention to myself. "God makes war against the arrogant" (James 4:6). Love is always considerate of the feelings of others, always keeps its word and commitments, is always on time, and never disturbs others unnecessarily.
Love is not self-seeking nor easily provoked. When conflicting interests, I give others priority - even if they are not grateful. Agape is unconditional love. I do not have a short fuse. I am not easily irritated, even when I am unfairly criticized. "He opened not His mouth a word."
Love does not attribute questionable motives to others. I am never gleeful when someone else falls, fails or makes a mistake. I am never pleased at another person's misfortune. Rather, I make every effort to prevent it and to remedy it.
Love keeps no list of wrongs done. I readily forgive and wipe the slate clean. I harbor no resentment or bitterness for wrongs done to me. I do not gossip or publicize the faults of others. I leave injustices done to me with the Lord to remedy in His time and manner.
Love forgives others as the Lord has forgiven me (Ephesians 4:32). I never pass on an unflattering story about another, even though it is true. David is mentioned over fifty times in the New Testament. Not one hint of his many deplorable sins is mentioned.
Love rejoices when the truth prevails (13:6). I conceal with silence the weaknesses of others and do not pass them on. However, agape is intolerant of apotasy and false teaching. That I most assuredly rebuke, expose and refuse to fellowship with (Ephesians 5:11; Romans 16:17). Love contends vigorously for the revealed body of truth (Jude 3).
Love does good to all men and works no harm towards its neighbor (Romans 13:10). But, agape is not a doormat. It does not force itself on those who reject it (Matthew 10:14). It does not give what is holy (time, affection, resources) to dogs" (Matthew 7:6). Agape is wise and not a dupe for the leech who constantly cries, "Give! Give!" (Proverbs 30:15).
Human love is famous for having ulterior motives, trying to serve two masters, God and self. Giving, and yet wanting to be recognized for it; yearning for the left hand to know what the right hand does; giving to the attractive person to receive their smile and gratitude; ministering for applause; giving for reciprocity, "you owe me."
This is false love, the "golden calf of self-love." Genuine love is without guile, denying seIf (2 Corinthians 4:10,11). It serves the unlovely, the ungrateful, the personal enemy, the unfair, the irritating, the undeserving - as Christ did and does for us.
I can never, ever hope to attain to such a standard on my own. Agape is produced in the believer, but not by the believer. My duty is to look to my Savior continually (Hebrews 12:1); saturating my mind in His transforming Word (2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 3:16); and "praying always" - for His grace to help in time of need.
The motivation for agape is Christ's love for me. The more I learn of Him, His sacrifices and forgiveness towards - unworthy, helpless, wretched - me, the more I will love Him. The one forgiven much, loves much (Luke 7:47). The more I love Him, the more I will obey Him and desire His love to function through me (John 13:34; 14:15,21).
And, in humility, confess: "I need Thee every hour."

It takes care of your heart health, lowers the risk of diseases, releases feel good endorphins and has even been proven to prevent dementia –walking has a long list of virtues – and you can do it anywhere! However, if you’re regular walker, you might wonder why you haven’t been seeing any drastic weight loss – well it’s a simple answer. Let Rohan Mathew, fitness expert from The Transformation, tell you.
“Apart from being the simplest form of exercise, walking has quite a few benefits that people underplay or don't know about – it keeps your muscles strong, your cardiovascular system healthy, prevents the onset of disease, and lastly, it's something almost everybody can do, from the young to the old,” lists out Rohan.
But why you haven’t been shedding any kilos even though you’ve been strict with your daily evening walks? There's an interesting reason why. “It could probably be your diet – if you’re eating junk throughout the day, there isn't going to be any weight loss happening. But it is interesting to note that if you’re bigger and unfit, and you’re doing a low physical activity such as walking, then in you’re not really burning fat, instead you’re burning carbohydrates stored in the muscles,” he explains. But hold up, there’s good news too! “However, if you constantly work at it, then your body adapts to switching from carbohydrates to fats,” he continues. Then, you’ve probably set your body’s weight pendulum in motion, and you’ll be burning calories before you know it.
So go outdoors, take a quick stroll, soak up some vitamin D, keep at it regularly, and see the transformation.

The first month of the New Year is coming to a close, and many of us have spent some time reflecting on the past year and contemplating changes we wish to make in the New Year. This year, I decided to take a survey about my past year in the classroom, and draft a few goals I wish to achieve with my students this year. Below you will find the guiding questions along with my responses. A link to these questions can be found in the Resources section of the READ 180 Community page as well. I always enjoy sharing within the 180 Community Resources. Check it out.
I am teaching in three different classrooms and have no place to "hang my hat." I knew I would need to establish my space and comfort.
My READ 180 class meets for 42 minutes a day versus the double block I previously had. Talking with my HMH team members, I know there are flexible models, but it is a shift in planning that I knew I will need to continue to adjust and learn through 2019.
My Intensive Reading class (READ 180/System 44 together) meets every other day for 42 minutes. Again, a shift in prioritizing and processing how I will maintain the same growth rate.
Training in the Glass Analysis for Decoding Only reading method. This method helps some of my classified learners in learning the key clusters inherent in our language that is necessary to learn as they navigate the "Look/Spot/Split/Read" method that is integral in System 44.
Learning and successfully navigating HMH Teacher Central. I learned that ALL of the resources for System 44 instruction are readily available and that I do not need to carry around the RDI book to find answers and information as to how I can reteach lessons to my students' needs. Also, the Phonics and Word Study Lessons for each series are available under the Resources tab. The lessons for instruction appear with a simple click! YAY!
Implementing Google Classroom in all of my classes. I post writing assignments from the software and ReaL Book onto my Google Classroom so that I can edit and give feedback on my students' work. It's great and it works!
Giving too much of my time listening to naysayers who claim that "some kids can never learn" or that "this program will never work." I began to practice how to tune out this noise and respond with a data point that may support changing perceptions.
Compulsory attendance at Staff Development workshops that didn't enhance my skills as a teacher and were completely unrelated to the work that I do. I would like Staff Development to focus on the intricacies of IEP writing and tips to increasing success with students on the autistic spectrum.
My trip to India and Nepal, where I got to visit schools in impoverished areas, speak with students and teachers, and realize that literacy skills can be developed wherever there is a desire to attain them.
The time I spent with educators who are not "marigolds." Click this link to learn more about MARIGOLDS. I know you will because you are a MARIGOLD!
The high quality of HMH's literacy programs. This is why I stay so active in the Community and look for tips from other bloggers as well as respond to posts from Madigan and Noelle.
Self-doubting and staying too concerned about the change in time so that I focus on my instructional decisions.
Parents who think I am on call 24 hours a day. I now wait until the next school day to respond to a matter, unless, it is urgent.
Myself, my intuition. "Yes! I got this!"
Is open to learning new computer applications and technology that can enhance my students learning in class. I need to request more access to Clever for all of the applications my students use in my classroom.
I am grateful for my job, the school district, the materials that are given to me to do my job, supportive friends/colleagues, students, and the parents that care.
May the year 2019 be the best year of your life as an educator...ever!!! Share some of your reflections and goals for the new year.
Wow Sally! You have had a lot of challenges thrown at you this year. I love your tenacity and how motivated you are to continue to serve your students with excellence!

Nevertheless, in Brussels, I attended several running marathons and one architecture marathon during the Biennale of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, basically Victor Horta. The most delicious was the chocolate one. The other two were great to burn the calories.
Grand Place is THE square and is a heaven for chocolate lovers, with many chocolate shops per square meter.
Alors, I started my chocolaty marathon in Grand Place and then went to my favorite gallery, Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, that includes three galleries: Galerie de la Reine, Galerie du Roi and Galerie du Prince (Gallery of the Queen, King’s Gallery and Prince’s Gallery). Then I had a quick detour on Rue Royale no 73.
Next, I returned to the city center, in Place Saint Catherine and ended up in beautiful Place du Grand Sablon.
Last stop – Mont des Arts or Kunstberg (in Flemish, the other language of the country).
Neuhaus aka inventor of the praline! Yes, Charles Neuhaus was a pharmacist, and in 1912 he invented the praline.
As an architecture lover, this shop is one of those unique Art Nouveau sites you must see. Plus, walking in the Galleries along the arcades in the evening is pure joy!
Fun facts – The original shop is the old pharmacy of Neuhaus where he was working and perhaps created the praline. The sales persons were happy when they realized I knew this piece of information.
Moreover, his wife invented the chocolate boxes we use today, which she names “ballotins.” One creative couple.
Madame Marie Delluc is the “grand dame of Belgium chocolates.” She founded in 1919 MARY Chocolatier Confiseur and became a Royal Family favorite.
And you notice this the moment you enter her shops. MARY chocolatier is different; there is something special about that chocolate shop. Personally, I think the royal feeling is in the details – the light, the decorations, the chocolate boxes.
Yes, the chocolate boxes! Hers are sophisticated, handcrafted, beautifully decorated and they can easily be mistaken with a jewelry box. My chocolate ballotin became the little box I keep my earrings now.
Fun fact – the original MARY’s was located at Rue Royale 180 and moved to the flagship store in 1990. To experience the real feeling, I recommend going to the flagship shop located on Rue Royale no. 73.
Pierre Marcolini is one brave innovator as he brought exotic ingredients as pepper or patchouli in the traditional Belgian chocolate world. I have to admit the chocolate here is even more expensive but is worth it. The brand is famous in Asia too. When I was showing Brussels to Miyoko, she told me that back home in Tokio, Pierre Marcolini chocolates are three times more expensive. Wow. Maybe I should complain less about prices, shouldn’t I?
In the Royal Galleries, you have two Piere Marcolini shops, one even next to Neuhaus (talk about location). But a much bigger store is located in Place du Grand Sablon. You can’t miss it if you arrive in the square.
Another hidden gem in the city is close – Place du Petite Sablon with a little park I went literally hundred times because I used to live 2 minutes away. One lucky girl.
Been there, ate that. Three insiders tips.
Of course, you see everywhere also GODIVA shops (exquisite chocolate) and Leonidas (good and most important, budget-friendly), both delicious, but I would like to share three special chocolatiers original from Brussels and to go beyond the touristic trail.
Fun fact – There are two shops one next to the other. The second one also has delicious ice cream with interesting flavors. Plus, you get to hang around Place Saint Catherine and pass by Rue Antoine Dansaert, only the trendiest street in Brussels.
The Wittamer family opened their chocolate shop over 100 years ago in the same famous Sablon neighborhood. Interestingly enough, Pierre Marcolini was at one point chef-pâtisseur at Wittamer.
Inside, you can have a peak of l’atelier where they create the chocolate pieces. And next door, you can find the Wittamer café, with a lovely terrace overlooking Grand Sablon. The kindest salesperson told me that the Wittamer family has only two shops in the world – Brussels, and Tokio! Miyoko was very happy to hear.
Address: Place du Grand Sablon 6-12-13, 1000 Bruxelles.
You won’t regret the calories here, promise! Laurent himself organizes chocolate workshops, a nice way to spend an afternoon.
This place is located next to Mont des Arts (meaning mountain of the arts), because is surrounded by museums, including René Magritte Museum. And Mont des Arts is another spot with a beautiful view over Brussels.
Fun fact: Laurent Gerbaud is also creating the chocolate for the famous speculoos biscuits Dandoy. Speculoos being another Belgian specialty.
Address: Rue Ravenstein 2D, 1000 Bruxelles.
Last, but not least, Brussels also has two museums dedicated to chocolate – the ‘petite’ one near Grand Place and a new place in town called Choco-Story Brussels.
First one is named Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate (surprise) and is a delight. I’ve been there twice, always in the fall during the Museum Nocturnes event, where certain museums are open until late on Thursday evenings.
Sorry, as a Brussels enthusiast, I can’t help it. If you are in Brussels, it’s a pity to miss the Atomium and the European Parliament. Only one time I was inside the Atomium when my parents visited me, and we all loved it, but it’s fun to go just to see it from the outside (or make silly pictures like me and Georgi).
As a former stagiaire at the European Parliament, this place was a mandatory non-negotiable stop on my tour city for my dear visitors, even if they were exhausted or it was raining (Angie can confirm). Just like them, don’t miss the Parlamentarium, the interactive museum with free access.
Mont des Arts. Merci Nina!
After all this chocolate and visits, if you need a place to get your caffeine fix, I can recommend going to the last floor of the Museum of Musical Instruments for a coffee with a view (another beautiful Art Nouveau building). The museum is near Mont des Arts and Laurent Gerbaud shop (where we had our last chocolate stop).
Or why not, stay for a cup of coffee at Frederic Blondel in Saint Catherine (you will receive two complimentary pieces of chocolate, always a plus) or buy a hot chocolate to go from Neuhaus or Pierre Marcolini in the pretty Royal Galleries. Enjoy!

Garnet ruby color. The nose is very fresh and intense, with notes of wild black fruits and black cherries balanced with seductive notes of licorice. The aromas become more complex due to subtle notes of vanilla. In the mouth, wine is concentrated with powerful tannins and a soft texture. The finish is robust, very persistent, full of minerality and freshness.
Carm Grande Reserva Red is a wine that represents the entire identity of the region of the Douro Valley. After manual harvesting and selection of the best berries, the grapes were de-stemmed, gently crushed and then subjected to a very rapid temperature drop. A period of cold pre-fermentation immersion followed for about 12 to 24 hours, and fermentation in wooden vats occurred under temperature control between 24 and 26 ° C. The wine aged for 12 months in barrels Fresh oak barrels before being transferred to the bottle.
Store at a temperature of 18ºc. Serve at between 16ºC and 18ºC.
Duorum is a red wine with an intense red colour and dark violet tones. Its aroma is dominated by ripe black fruits, blackberries, prunes, and cassis. It's dense, full-bodied fruity, with well-balanced acidity, firm and ripe tannins. It features an elegant, long lasting ending.
Oboe Touriga Nacional presents itself as an extraordinarily full-bodied red wine with austere and mineral tannins, which support an entire structure of intense aromas of ripe black fruits that harmonize in a very complex aromatic bouquet.
Cistus Reserva is a rich and super fruity red wine from the Douro Region. It has plenty of ripe fruit aromas on its core, its full packed with black plums and cherries. It's dense wine, opulent and with several complex aromas. It has tight and rich tannins that give it an impressive freshness to the final.

Obviously the * is supposed to represent degrees.I have never been able to find a degree symbol on my lap top either.
Andy not that I know of. I usually put deg. After it.
"When I die I hope my wife doesn't sell my toys for what I told her I paid for them"
Money: It's made round to go round , not flat to stack.
"Get out and do it"
Do a search under the windows search for special characters, it will be found!
Sorry, but I have to stop lurking and chime in: stabilizers and hydrostatic stability - the physics that keeps you upright - have almost nothing to do with each other. Horribly common misconception.
By 'almost nothing,' I mean the only way they're related is if you're referring to ballast, which heavy gyroscopes can also serve as.
Stabilizers keep you a bit more comfortable up until you capsize, but they do nothing to prevent it. You could in fact argue the opposite, since they probably lull people into traveling in sea states that would otherwise be viewed as too rough.
May be the same on a PC.
I get ° with alt-0176 on a PC but alt-167 produces the same. For some reason I memorized some 4-digit alt-codes for when I wrote reports. It does seem the easier way would be the shorter codes. Alt-1 is ☺ (smiley), etc.
On PC it's alt 248, putting the letter or number you want to add the wee 0 or degree sign to immediately before that. How do I know? - use it a lot at work, as in medicine a lot of things are secondary to, (abbreviated as 2º to) -- hey thanks harbour950, I had forgotten option o did that on a Mac - and I use one at home all the time.
By the way for those feeling in the cold, today it reached 36ºC here, (about 100ºF) - horrible. Thank God for aircon.
Yes, thanks Harbor 950. I'll try and remember.
Pete, another hot day forecast for tomorrow plus morning showers and afternoon storm. So I think it will be Friday before I get to the 2nd Cricket Test. Then depending on where the game is at, perhaps go again at the weekend. India played well today, our guys have a big task ahead of them.
My sentiments exactly. So have decided to tow the Center Console up to Urangan to chase some small blacks and golden trevally.
If you decide to go to the 'Gabba give me a shout. Its an easy walk up the road from home for me to get there.
Benn, how come you're in our area and within cooee of Hervey Bay. I thought you were down in Tassie..?
All this time I've been using the wrong symbol, the masculine ordinal indicator (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_indicator if you have too much spare time), as in 32°F instead of the degree symbol, as in 32ºF. Who knew? I shall go and hang my head in shame.
I have left Tidahapah in Hobart as I go back to work on the 24 th Dec.
2 weeks at home have to get a boat / fishing fix some how. So the little boat will be on the trailer and off I go. May just fish out of Mooloolaba , it is all weather dependent.
Hervey Bay is only a 4 hr drive.
Look at where the intake grills are on the Nordhavn and see if you think the possibility would be great of water ingress .. its not low on the side decks like a lot of the typical trawlers. This is the only time I have ever heard of this happening on a Nordhavn.
I know James has a lot of miles under their keel but they may have survived the event in better shape than most other boats. I think the "call of the dock" may have been a bigger factor. The most prudent skipper may take a chance they would normally not.. most survive.. some don't.
I have been in that same spot a few times and haven't been bit. This is by no means a judgement on their decision to enter when they did.. and I really applaud his decision to write about the event so others may learn.
Kinda like 4-wheel drive getting you stuck in deeper mud than 2-wheel drive?
I thought hard before making this bump of old news, but felt it worthwhile.
While serving aboard the USS Siapan, a CVL, we were on the flight deck putting double tiedowns on the aircraft when (as I learned later) we took a 26 degree roll. I was outboard on the deck edge of the outboard aircraft and remember holding onto the wheel strut to keep from falling overboard. Scarier! Can't imagine 69 degrees!

When Yash Raj Films first launched its clothing label Diva’ni, it opened with a star-studded fashion show featuring the likes of Katrina Kaif, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Anushka Sharma.
Two years later, the label shows no signs of slowing down, boasting boutiques in Delhi and Mumbai, a fusion wear line, and a new cocktail collection that launched last night in New Delhi.
Says Sanya Dhir, creative director of Diva’ni, “The journey has been quite exciting in the past two years. Every day has been a new learning experience and a constant evolution.” True to its origins, the label’s latest cocktail line is all about movie star glamour, with festive ensembles in vibrant jewel tones and OTT embellishment.
Given their USP of Bollywood-inspired clothing, it’s no wonder stars like Parineeti Chopra, Vaani Kapoor and Richa Chadda can’t get enough of the label. You’ll spot them on the red carpet in everything, from their embroidered anarkalis to summer dresses.
With so much love from the film fraternity, Diva’ni has grand plans for the future too. Expect couture boutiques in the next two years, and their ensembles in the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Fan and Yash Raj Films’ first digital movie, Bang Baaja Baraat, which was recently unveiled at MAMI.
Can’t wait to own a party piece? The collection is now available at the Delhi store and comes to Mumbai right after Diwali.

This is the only instance I have ever seen where the foundry name inscribed on a coal chute cover appears to be misspelled. The company was Gaynor & Rosenblum, but in the inscription BLUM is covered by BAUN. This would seem to indicate that the junior partner, Rosenblum, was replaced by a Rosenbaun, but I found no evidence that this occurred. The company name Gaynor & Rosenblum seems to have been used throughout their history, which ran from 1911 through 1935. They began in 1911 at 387 South 1st St., Brooklyn, moved to 132 Ten Eyck St. in 1913, then later to 340 Stagg St. from 1922 to 1935. These addresses are all near to each other in the Bushwick area of Brooklyn.
The partners were David Gaynor (1878-1962) and Joseph Rosenblum (1881 or 1883?-?). Both were immigrants from Russia, arriving in the U. S. in the early 1900s.
David Gaynor's naturalization petition dated 18 March 1910 stated that he was born 8 August 1878 in Odessa, Russia, and that he emigrated to the U. S. via Hamburg 20 June 1904. He appeared in the 1910 U. S. Census living at 592 Fulton Ave., the Bronx, when he was 31 years old. Five years later, in the New York State Census of 1915, he lived at 389 South 2nd St., Brooklyn. He stated that he had been in the U. S. 12 years, and his household consisted of his wife, Annie, also an immigrant from Russia, and two young sons, Moses, age 6, and Simon, age 4. In 1918 David Gaynor registered for the World War I draft, when he gave his birth date as 20 August 1878. He was a self-employed iron worker at Gaynor & Rosenblum, 132-6 Ten Eyck St., Brooklyn. In 1942 he also registered for the World War II draft, age, 63, born 20 August 1878, Odessa, Russia. In 1942 he said that he was retired and that he lived at 1818 East 9th St., Brooklyn.
Joseph Rosenblum was recorded in the 1910 U. S. Census when he was 26 years old and lived with his father, David Rosenblum, a grocery salesman, at 306 Montauk Ave., Brooklyn. Joseph Rosenblum gave his occupation as "Finisher, Iron Works." He was newly married. His wife's name was Dora, and the couple had no children. He registered for the World War I draft in 1918 when he lived at 284 Montauk Ave., Brooklyn. He was 37 years old, born Russia, 18 April 1881. He gave his occupation as "Iron Contractor, Gaynor & Rosenblum, 132 Ten Eyck St., Brooklyn, Kings, NY." He also registered for the World War II draft in 1942, when he was 59 years old, born 20 April 1883, Roseny, Russia. He listed his employer as Niblum Building Co., 451 Albany Ave., Brooklyn.
The American Contractor, 12 Jan. 1918, p. 36, listed Gaynor & Rosenblum as steel contractors on apartments to be constructed on Himrod St. west of Wyckoff Ave., Brooklyn.

Promotion. Marketing. Public Relations. These words don't always resonate with small businesses as they only seem to focus on working, in the business, looking after clients' needs, rather than, on the business, promoting themselves to the general public. However, there is a fine balance but ignoring this area of promotion, marketing, and public relations now puts your business at considerable future risk. It can affect future cash flow and for any business, that's the start of a downward spiral that's hard to pull out of.
As Lifestyle Financial Planners. Imagine for a moment the position of a would-be client considering our service offering. What research will they do before they come along to meet us?
At the very least as business owners you can expect new prospects to have done a Google search on you, your business, checked out your website and read other searches they pulled up from networking and other sites and maybe looked you up on social media too. You might be surprised to find that existing clients regularly look you up too, so what will they find?
Is it positive? Is it impressive? Do you know? Have you checked?
According to Mike Robertson, MD at Mike Robertson Associates Limited (MRA), who are specialists in Lifestyle Financial Planning "Client engagement is more important than ever before," he said. "Clients expect an increasingly bespoke service and, with economic pressures continuing, will only select a business that they feel is absolutely right for them and their circumstances.
It is therefore essential they know your business exists (the days of clients simply looking through the Yellow Pages have long-gone) and that they like and are impressed by what they find."
It is also essential that businesses embrace social media platforms as a communications channel says Mike. "We don't live in a 24-hour news society any more, we live in a Nano-second news society".
Potential clients are all over outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and it is essential that if you run a business you are too.
So how can MRA help you?
At MRA, after knowing your financial facts, we can work with you to potentially achieve your future financial goals. We assist individuals, corporates, small business and the self-employed. We can support you to understand your future financial journey and supply an economic destination plan. This could incorporate such things as tax and cash flow management for your present financial position, your life and your business. Working with you to understand the new destination plan could change your family's life, and if you are a business owner could increase income, potential cash flow and turnover allowing your business to grow.

Some scary news coming out of Japan suggests that P2P file sharers may be banned from using the Internet. Four Japanese ISP organizations, which together have 1000 ISPs as members, are banding together to ban pirates from the Internet after receiving persistent complaints from copyright holders.
The measures are directed against the 1.75 million file sharers in Japan who mainly use Winny, the most popular P2P software, to share music, movies, games, and software anonymously (and illegally). First-time offenders would initially receive warning emails. This could escalate to being abruptly disconnected from the Internet, and severe violations could result in cancellation of Internet service.
Previous proposals to disconnect users of P2P programs like Winny were abandoned because they were regarded as violations of the right to privacy in communications, but that objection has now been overruled.
Indeed it's getting scary, as who determines what constitutes as piracy. Abandonware which is mildly legal in some cases can be considered piracy.

Pearls of wisdom and inspiration fell from Above as we met Ms. Melissa Villa and her volunteers who drop by the newly-renovated Kris Library in Quezon City to buy 100 bottles of Satti Peanut Ketchup to be given as gifts to Project PEARL volunteers in the US.
We can’t thank Melissa enough for this honor and support to the scholars and users of the 5 Kris Libraries in as much One Peso for every Satti bought goes to the Kris literacy advocacy.
Through this deed, we got to feel first-hand the magic behind Project PEARLS, which stands for Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, Smile.
But what is great about Project PEARL is Melissa’s commitment to help little-known, struggling and fund-deprived advocacy groups like the Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library (Kris) get on its feet.
Although our meeting was short, we can’t thank Ms Melissa enough for the advises and nuggets of wisdom shared and the inspiration to continue on with our mission no matter how hard the challenges we face and no matter if we are at times driven to just give up the fight and return to our relatively hassle-free and stress-free family lives; and personal careers and businesses.
It was inspiring to know, for instance, that apart from the stress of running a full-time non-government organization from a small circle of family and friends, Ms Melissa has to stretch her work hours deep into the night so that she can have time to communicate with donors and volunteers here who are just starting the day at a time Melissa’s family should be going to sleep.
And Melissa does this after coming home from a long day at work and at the same time attending to her family responsibilities without the help of maids and drivers like Filipinos here have at their disposal. Having filed news stories from Spain, Itali, the Vatican, Canada and the US for the Philippine Daily Inquirer where I worked for 14 years, I can very well relate to Melissa’s hardships in working through various time zones to meet distinct deadlines.
Thus, we thank God for Melissa’s gesture of helping our start-up Satti Funds for Kris Libraries social enterprise but more so for giving us the psychological help and morale support we greatly need because like all advocates and NGO workers, we are all human too and prone to occasional bouts of doubts about the relevance of our work, extreme tiredness; and stress from the heavy task of working to make this world a better place one book and one kid at a time.
