Part 2: Will Private Number Lead to Privacy Leaks?
Having a private cell phone number is useful in many different ways, but there may be circumstances in which you want your phone number to appear. For instance if you are calling a higher up about a job you desire, you would want to give them an easy way to call you back. In order to make this possible again repeat the same process.
Scroll through the selections that are available until you find, ‘Show My Caller ID’, select that option.
Then move the toggle button to the on position.
This will make it so your number will be non-private for any length of time, until you decide there is a need for it to be hidden again.
Part 2. Will Private Number Lead to Privacy Leaks?
Have you ever thought about that the private number you deleted on your iPhone can be recovered again? This means that someone else can easily access your number with some sort of recovery technology or software. So how to take off private number on iPhone to prevent from privacy leaks can certainly be a daunting task.
However, luckily there is a better way, iMyFone Umate Pro for Windows or iMyFone Umate Pro for Mac . It is great if you need to sell your phone at any point and have used a private number for that particular phone. This will make it so the floating is not out there to be found. You don’t want someone knowing your private information, deleting the data is the best way to ensure your privacy is not invaded.
Note: You can choose either Erase Private Data or Erase Deleted Files, for they both can help with your privacy.
Here let’s take Erase Deleted Files as an example. Click "Scan" and then iMyFone Umate Pro will start to scan the device and list all of the deleted files. This process would take several minutes.
After the scanning process is finished, it will list all the deleted files including your private number. You can preview and tick off the file types which you want to erase in the box. Then click "Erase Now" button.
Private number is when you set your phone number as a private number it will show “Private” on the phone screen, which is primarily for privacy and security concerns.
With a private cell phone number, not only will you keep your cell phone number from getting to telemarketers; you also keep people from getting it who you don’t want to have it. Say you have to call a co-worker who you really don’t like. Just set your number as private so they cannot call you back.
Having a private number on an iPhone, keeps your phone number from showing up when you make a phone call. Using a private number makes it so when you call someone all they see when they receive the call is the word, ‘Private’.
To make your iPhone a private number first go to ‘Settings’ on your iPhone. Then scroll down through the selections to ‘Phone’ .
Click on phone and you will be taken to another screen where you will scroll down slightly.
There should be a ‘Show My Caller ID’ selection with an arrow.
This will take you to another screen with ‘Show My Caller ID’ on it, use the toggle button next to it and merely slide it to off.
If you have problem like how to take off private number on iPhone permanently, iMyFone can help you. iMyFone Umate Pro or Umate Pro for Mac is technology which can be utilized to save space as well as to protect your information. This technology is convenient and easy to use. All you need to do is download it and let it find the files you need deleted. iMyFone is grateful for your business and would love to be contacted by you.

A new scientific paper calling for more protection for a population of Risso’s dolphins living in a ‘hotspot’ around Lewis in Scotland has been published ahead of the Scottish government public consultation on this and three other proposed protected sea area sites.
The paper, produced by marine charity, Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) and published in the Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, reveals for the first time that individual Risso’s dolphins are returning to the same spots in one of the proposed sites (off east Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides) each year and have been for at least 12 years, making this the longest site fidelity evidenced in UK waters for the species.
Risso’s dolphins are vulnerable to noise pollution, and this particular site (being considered in terms of protection for marine wildlife) lies within one of two UK military exercise areas.
Octopus are likely to be a primary source of food for Risso’s dolphins, so activities in the area that might affect their prey, such as scallop dredging, which ploughs the seabed where the octopus are protecting their eggs and feeding, might be expected to affect the dolphins too. As no data has been collected on this to-date, it is hoped that protecting the area will enable the government to prioritise data collection on this.
‘Our research highlights a unique discovery and a very significant reason for this particular proposed site to be officially made a protected area. It is the only known location in Scotland that Risso’s dolphins rely on to feed and bring their calves and return to again and again, month after month and year after year’, says Nicola Hodgins, WDC policy manager and one of the paper’s authors.
The high sightings rate of calves in this persistent ‘hotspot’ for Risso’s dolphins was identified using data collected by WDC since 2010 in the area, with dolphin sightings occurring year-round, and peak numbers recorded between May and October.
One hundred and seventeen individual dolphins, recognisable from photographs, were catalogued from 2010-2017 in the waters around east Lewis. Calves, including new-borns, were recorded in more than a third of encounters, one of the highest rates anywhere in the world.
Some individuals return to the area repeatedly, with some photographically captured in up to six of the eight survey years.
Risso’s dolphins are classified as ‘Unknown Conservation Status’ at UK and EU level. Their physical appearance is unique and the numerous scars, from their major prey, squid, and made by other Risso’s dolphins, give them peculiar, scratch markings.
WDC provided initial evidence and proposed the Lewis MPA with other conservation groups in 2011. The evidence gathered supports the ongoing use of this proposed MPA by Risso’s dolphins as a feeding and nursery ground.
1. WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue.

So many things are better as leftovers: pizza, rotisserie chicken, and even baked potatoes. Unfortunately, rice is definitely not one of them. When you leave rice in its takeout container overnight in the fridge, it becomes dry and utterly unappetizing. So how do you reheat rice to make it just as delicious and fluffy as when it first came out of the pot? Lucky for you, we've covered the many methods for reheating rice, including how to reheat rice with and without a microwave.
The key to keeping rice tasty after you've reheated it is first storing it properly. If you know you're going to use the rice within a day or two, put it in the fridge. Leftover rice that won't be used right away can go in the freezer.
Rice that's stored in the fridge should be made up of grains you plan on using soon. For that, they need to be left in an easy-to-grab container and be ready for cooking. Here's how to store rice in the fridge in two easy steps.
Cool the rice down as soon as possible. Cooked rice is moist rice, which means it's a breeding ground for bacteria if you let it sit for a few hours at room temperature. Spread the rice on a baking sheet or immediately stick it in the fridge to cool it. By doing this, you can protect yourself and your family from any icky bacteria that will make you sick.
Once your rice has chilled, put it in either a plastic container or a zip plastic bag, making sure to remove excess air before sealing. Then, place it in the fridge.
How long does frozen rice last in the freezer? The good news is that it'll keep for up to three months. After that, it may develop freezer burn. Here's how to store rice in the freezer in two easy steps.
This step is the same for storing rice in the freezer as it is for storing rice in the fridge.
Put rice into a freezer bag. Squish the bag to get rid of extra air before sealing. Place it flat in the freezer so that it takes up less space and defrosts faster. Depending on the recipe, frozen rice doesn't need to be thawed before using.
After you use this calorie-slashing cooking method for rice, portion out what you and your family will be eating, then store the rest in a zip bag while the rice is still warm. Seal the bag tightly and put it in the fridge. When you’re ready to reheat your leftovers, pop the bag in the microwave for one minute with a one-inch crack in the zip top. Reheating the rice this way steams it so you get that airy, just-cooked texture you love. Happy reheating!
NOTE: Make sure that you’re using Ziploc Storage or Freezer Bags for this trick, not their sandwich bags, as those aren’t meant to be used in the microwave. If you’re using a different brand of storage bag, check the box and their website for information about heating their bags.
Of all the microwave hacks you need to know, how to reheat rice in the microwave is near the top. If you're pressed for time, reheating rice in the microwave is the best method for quickly warming up rice. But because it's nearly impossible for people to agree on something, there are several methods for how to best reheat rice in the microwave. Here's how to reheat rice in the microwave using a paper towel, plastic wrap, or a glass of water.
Put rice on a plate in an even layer.
Cover the plate with a damp paper towel. This will trap moisture, leaving you with plump, moist rice.
Microwave for two minutes, checking periodically. You can remove the rice early if it's evenly heated.
Scoop rice into a large bowl, making sure there's enough room for steaming.
Pour in three to four tablespoons of water. You can use chicken broth for extra flavor.
Place plastic wrap over the bowl and microwave it on low for a couple minutes. When the plastic starts to balloon and steam up, you'll know it's ready.
Remove the plastic wrap carefully so the escaping steam doesn't burn you.
Stir the rice so every piece is warmed.
Pour rice onto a plate or into a bowl.
Fill a glass with 2/3 cup of water.
Microwave the glass of water and rice together for two minutes.
Check that the rice is evenly heated; microwave it again if it's still cold.
If you don't have a microwave (trust us, this means less mess to clean!) and you want to reheat rice, you have two alternatives: the stove or the oven. Taking a hands-on approach to reheating rice gives you more control, as opposed to putting it in the microwave and walking away. This means you won't have to worry about removing your rice only to find you've zapped it too long and it's become rock hard. That said, reheating rice this way will require a bit more patience and a watchful eye. Here's how to reheat cooked rice either on the stove or in the oven.
Dump your rice into a sauce pan.
Add a few tablespoons of water.
Break up any large rice chunks.
Cook over low heat, stirring occassionally.
Pour rice into oven-safe dish.
Separate any chunks of rice.
Cover tightly with lid or aluminum foil.
Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, or until rice is warm all the way through.
If you frequent the Chinese restaurant down the street for those late-night dinners, you need to know the best way to reheat fried rice. Instead of tossing this golden goodness just because it's become a little hard after sitting in the fridge, you can save your fried rice for another dinner — or even make it the base of a brand-new dish. Here's how to reheat rice that's been fried in five easy steps.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat.
Add a splash of olive oil or butter.
Pour your rice into the pan once the oil or butter has warmed up. When you're reheating fried rice, you can choose to add all sorts of delicious toppings like egg, meat, or extra veggies.
Stir everything for five to 10 minutes, or until it's warm all the way through.
Plate your rice and enjoy!
Can you reheat rice that's been frozen? Yes you can! If you froze a big batch of rice and now you're not sure whether you need to thaw it before cooking, we've got your answer. And if you're worried you won't end up with fluffy rice because it's been frozen, there's nothing to be afraid of. To reheat rice that's been frozen, you need to follow many of the same steps for reheating rice in the microwave. Here's how to reheat frozen rice in two easy steps.
Put bag of frozen rice in the microwave and open it about an inch. If you're concerned that the plastic bag isn't microwave-safe, transfer the frozen rice to a plate or bowl. As the rice thaws, moisture in the bag steams the grains, giving you that warm, fresh-from-the-pot taste.
Enjoy your rice as a side or mix it with meat and veggies for a well-balanced meal.

A Church of England priest briefly disrupted the consecration ceremony for the first ever female bishop in the church after he shouted "not in the Bible." The ceremony went on as planned, however, and the Rev. Libby Lane was ordained as the Bishop of Stockport in front of over 1,000 people.
"It is a remarkable thing that this happens to me, and people have been very supportive of me personally, but actually this is about a moment in the Church's history," Lane said, reflecting on the occasion.
BBC News reported that the priest who spoke out was the Rev. Paul Williamson from Hanworth, West London. Williamson made his views heard after the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, asked during the ceremony whether Lane should be ordained as bishop.
Back in December, the Church of England made history when it announced the appointment of Lane as its first woman bishop, breaking centuries of tradition that had defined the position as exclusive to men.
Most in the Anglican leadership, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev. Justin Welby, have backed the change.
"Her Christ-centered life, calmness and clear determination to serve the church and the community make her a wonderful choice," Welby said about Lane.
"She will be bishop in a diocese that has been outstanding in its development of people, and she will make a major contribution. She and her family will be in my prayers during the initial excitement, and the pressures of moving."
More conservative voices in the Anglican communion have argued that tradition should not be broken on this matter, however.
"There is still at least a quarter of the Church for whom this package does not provide for their theological convictions," said Susie Leafe, director of the conservative evangelical group Reform, after the Church of England approved women bishops in the major vote in July 2014.
A Church of England spokesperson identified Williamson as one such voice, who has often made his opposition to female bishops clear.
"He's got the right to protest but the contrast was between a lone voice protesting and a sea of voices affirming," said the spokesperson, who wasn't named.
The Telegraph noted that Williamson also protested in the 1990s when the first female priests were ordained.
In February 1994, he even accused the Church of England of "treason" for going against the Bible and elevating the role of women within the Church.

On the morning of April 17th, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners filed a lawsuit against Wu Guanzheng for the crimes of genocide and torture of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Wu, a member of the standing Committee of China’s Communist Party Politburo and Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Chinese Communist Party, is currently visiting Spain.
Wu Guanzheng was Party Chief of Shandong Province between 1997 and November 2002. During this period, Wu was directly involved in carrying out Jiang Zemin’s order of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. At least one hundred Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death in Shandong Province, making the province one of the most severe areas of persecution in China.
Currently the Justice Department of Spain has started its investigation into the Chinese Communist regime’s genocide against Falun Gong. In June 2006, the Spanish National Court accepted the lawsuit against Jia Qinglin, a member of the standing Committee of China’s Communist Party Politburo and Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Committee. The Spanish Justice organisation already formerly started the legal procedure to investigate his crimes against Falun Gong.
The judge already applied to the United Nations’ Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International and other human rights organisations for information. Aside from this, the judge has personally requested to the Chinese Government, through the Spanish Foreign Department, for information of the Chinese Communist regime’s persecution of Falun Gong. An international arrest warrant was issued for Jia Qinglin so that if Jia visits other European countries, he faces arrest and extradition to Spain.
The prime culprits of this most severe persecution in human history, former head of the Chinese Communist Party Jiang Zemin and senior CCP official Luo Gang, are also under close watch by the Spanish Justice Department. Recently the Spanish Supreme Court and the Constitution Court has started to collect evidence of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners from the lawyers.
Falun Dafa Practitioners in Spain Wish Compassionate Great Master Happy New Year!

For many products, pay-per-click search engines can be very good. The idea is that you decide what you’re willing to pay per click through to your website.
In fact, now that advertising prices are much cheaper than they used to be you could really clean up by using the pay per click search engines.
It all comes down to knowing your numbers. What marketers call your metrics. We’ll talk about the metrics of advertising in a moment.
If you know that you make $1 for every visitor to your web site, you could theoretically bid 75 cents per click and make money. Assuming, of course that the traffic was the same quality as your existing traffic.
Of course, I’ve found with advertising that is rarely the case.
The most well known of the pay-per-click engines is Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture).
With Yahoo! Search Marketing you just pay to be listed when the search results come up. In other words, you pay for “placement”.
It’s relatively easy to get started. All you do is come up with a list of keywords that you want to check out, go to overture.com and in the search box on their main page just type in your first keyword.
When the results come up you’ll want to look at the top right and click on “View Advertisers’ Max Bids” so you can get a peek at how much everyone is paying for the keyword you’re thinking about buying.
Type that into the search box and you’ll see the first nine results are from paid advertisers.
Please don’t click the links in the search results. Copy the URL from the results and paste that into a new browser if you want to see the site.
When we click the link to see the maximum bids Yahoo! Search Marketing shows us the top three people are paying anywhere from $1 per click to $0.21. Of course these bids change all the time. That’s just what I am seeing today as I write this.
With some other keywords like “hosting”, the cost can be around $7 a click! It all depends on how much the advertisers are willing to pay. I’m sure they’re watching their conversions closely and probably wouldn’t continue to pay that unless they were profitable though.
If you’re interested in promoting your favorite associate programs in the pay per click search engines it’s easy to get started.
Just go to Yahoo! Search Marketing and access the advertisers center.
Yahoo! has created some pretty good demos to show you how their service works so you can watch those. Or, you can just type in a search term to see who’s bidding on it and what they are paying “per click”.
Anyway, a lot of my friends bid a nickel to a dime on keywords. In the old days, you could bid a penny or two but the minimum now is $0.10 “per click”.
I’m told by those who specialize in this form of paid advertising that the most important thing is to be on the first page of search results. What I learned is that it takes patience and experimentation to get profitable although you can get listed in the #1, #2 or #3 spot very easily if you’re willing to pay to be there.
What you do is bid on all the logical words. Then, you watch your clicks like a hawk and see what converts and what doesn’t.
. You probably won’t be profitable until you cut out the words that generate a lot of clicks but no sales. Those are the dead wood that cost you money but don’t make you money.
To make sure you know which keywords are converting you’ll want to use some sort of ad tracking service. If you don’t you’ll never know which keywords are making you money and which are draining your balance.
Yahoo! Search Marketing isn’t the only “pay per click search engine”.
I know I tried advertising on FindWhat, Kanoodle and some others. I got clicks but my clicks didn’t convert.
I told my friend John Keel about this. He’s a “pay-per-click” guru. John told me I just didn’t know what I was doing! He says you have to refine the results. The bottom line is, you have to learn what you’re doing and become an expert.
That’s what you’ll find with many of these methods. Whatever you do, you need to become an expert at it. That expertise is your competitive advantage. I don’t know of any way to make money where you just click a button and forget about it.
I’ve seen methods like that before. But if they’re that easy, in a heartbeat everyone else finds out about them, starts clicking the same button and the market is saturated overnight.
The path to profit is gaining specialized knowledge and information. What does that mean? That means becoming an expert. Buying “how to” products. Learning what you’re doing. Becoming better at it than the next guy.
What Jon taught me is that the words you bid on have vastly different conversion ratios. What often happens is that you bid on a word that gives you high clicks and almost no sales. That will screw up your numbers really fast.
So you track everything and kick out the words that don’t produce. You have to tweak and prune. You do that and you’ll soon be profitable!
The price of profit is study and experimentation. Everybody I know who makes money in this business makes it by working at it.
If that is true, then it gives you important information for your bidding!
You’ll find out about all the little tricks. For example, Yahoo! Search Marketing has a spreadsheet where you can bid on your words in mass. Submit a whole bunch of words all at once. That’s pretty cool.
You can also use their “Keyword Suggestion Tool”. Just type in your word and Yahoo! will suggest other words for you that are similar.
Once you know how much you’re making from an associate program on a dollars-per-click basis, you theoretically should be able to buy lots of traffic and make money.
The only hang up with that theory is your conversions. First of all, your sponsor’s conversions will fluctuate within a range due to random variation. Some days and weeks you will convert more due to pure random chance and influences.
What’s more, all traffic is not created equal. You can convert a high percentage of visitors to sales from one source of traffic and a low percentage from another source.
Every now and then we get an email from an associate who says he/she sent us lots of “hits” or “clicks” and didn’t make a sale. They want to know why.
The answer is that “hits” or “click” mean nothing. Where did the traffic come from? What is the quality of the traffic? How does the traffic match or fit the program being promoted?
Those are the questions you have to answer.
In our associate program we see the traffic that comes through our site. We can see every visitor and how long they spend on our site.
We will see traffic come through from a source that is obviously some form of very poor paid advertising. The visitors will stay on the page only a few seconds and NEVER click to a page two.
It makes me wonder if the advertising the person purchased is really a computer program that generates false click throughs. Why? Because if real people were involved, by default someone would click to page two sooner or later.
So the old saying “buyer beware” holds true. Don’t buy a large amount of advertising from any source until you test a small quantity and make sure the traffic is good quality.
Let’s say you send 1,000 visitors to a sponsor or affiliate program. You buy those visitors from a pay-per-click search engine for a 10 cents each. In U.S. money, that is $100. Now, let’s say you made two sales.
What you really paid is $50 per sale. You spent $100 to make 2 sales. So those two sales cost you $50 each. If you made 10 sales from the same traffic, your sales would have cost you $10 each.
What I’m saying is, ultimately there is no such thing as pay-per-click. All you really have is pay-per-sale. You bought traffic. You made 10 sales.
The 10 sales cost you $10 each. As long as your affiliate program pays you more than $10 per sale, then you made money.
Your goal is to double your money at bare minimum. Triple is better. So here are a few bottom line figures for you.
Assume a conversion ratio of 1/2 of 1%. That is low for some sites. High for others. But it’s a good figure to use as an example. That means you make 5 sales for every 1,000 visitors you send your affiliate program or sponsor.
If you pay 10 cents each for those visitors or $100, and you make 5 sales, each sale costs you $20. So your affiliate program needs to be paying you a $40 to $60 commission for those numbers to work for you.
If they’re only paying you $20 a pop, then you need double the conversion. You better be converting 1% of your visitors to sales.
Let’s say you’re on a pay-per-click search engine and that primo top spot costs you 50 cents per click. What are the numbers?
For every 1000 clicks, you’re going to pay U.S. $500. Let’s say your program turns 10 of those clicks into buyers. You have $50 a pop invested in each sale.
If you want to double your money, you better be getting $100 per sale. To triple your money, you need $150 per sale. Either that, or you need a higher conversion percentage than 1%.
Let’s say your program converts 2%. Now what are the numbers? You have 20 sales. 500 divided by 20 equals 25. Each sale costs you 25 smackers.
To double your money, you need a commission of 50 bucks a pop from your affiliate program sponsor.
Same story. You go to a banner advertising network and buy 10,000 impressions for the same $500. You get 1000 clicks when your banner runs.
Your cost per click was 50 cents.
But cost-per-click means nothing. You can’t bank that. You can’t buy food with it. You must have sales. So you get 1,000 clicks and the same 20 sales. You’re back to the same numbers as above.
The point is, in actuality, you aren’t buying impressions. And you aren’t buying clicks. The only thing that matters to you as an affiliate is cost-per-sale.
What if your program isn’t giving you conversion rates that are profitable for you? Or they aren’t paying you as high a commission as you’d like.
You have to try to increase your conversion ratio. The way you do that is by writing an endorsement for the product and placing it on your web site. By adding testimonials or other proof the product works. By displaying photos of the product.
You have to work on your end BEFORE the click to increase the results AFTER the click.
Perhaps you ask people to contact you if they have questions about the product. Perhaps you use one of the instant messaging systems to allow people to contact you live with their questions.
Another thing you can do is juice up the incentive to subscribe to your mailing list. That way, you can follow up with your prospective customer more than one time.
This puts the odds in your favor.

In my STOCKS & COMMODITIES articles on auction market analysis (see suggested reading), I gave examples of making trades with value-based information. Implicitly, these were all “first-chance,” breakout trades. You do the analysis, the market meets the entry criteria and, boom! you initiate the trade.
• The second chance occurs during a subsequent congestion.
If you’ve missed a great trade, don’t lose hope, because the market often gives second chances. Here’s how you can recognize them when they appear.

According to a study published by the Claims Conference , the percentage of people who are oblivios about the history of the darkest period of humanity is increasing, something that is even more prevalent among millennials.
31% of Americans believe that less than two million people were killed during the Holocaust, while the percentage reaches 41% among millennials.
In a survey carried out in England by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, one in five Englishmen also claimed that less than two million Jews had died in the Holocaust and half of all respondents said they did not know how many Jews had died.

Why Not Baptize Your Baby?
Either infant baptism is willed by Christ, or it is not; it cannot be both. If Christ’s intention was for parents to baptize their babies, then parents who refuse to do so deprive their child of grace freely offered. If Christ did not desire infants to be baptized, then parents who do so subject their child to a useless, unbiblical ritual and prevent their child from a meaningful baptism later in life.
Making the case for infant baptism won’t work if baptism is only a symbolic ritual that requires a person’s free choice to accept Christ as their Lord of all. But if baptism is more than a symbol—say, if baptism somehow saves us—then the case for infant baptism is much easier to present cogently.
So there’s a lot on the line with this question. Luckily the Bible is rather clear about whether or not baptism is more than a mere symbol.
First a definition. By baptism I mean a ritual that, by washing with water and a prayer to the Blessed Trinity, makes the baptized a member of the Church, cleanses the baptized of all sin (and remits all punishment due to them), and gives supernatural grace.
The first letter of Peter teaches that baptism now saves us (1 Pet 3:21). Jesus taught that unless a man is born of “water and spirit” he will not enter the kingdom of heaven (John 3:5). St. Paul alludes to the cleansing power of baptism when he teaches that “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word” (Eph 5:25-26). Paul also recalls the words directed at him from the devout man, Ananias, who urged him to act with haste after his conversion: “And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name (Acts 22:16).
“‘I have heard, sir,’ said I, ‘from some teacher, that there is no other repentance except that which took place when we went down into the water and obtained the remission of our former sins.’ He said to me, ‘You have heard rightly, for so it is’” (The Shepherd of Hermas 4:3:1–2 [A.D. 80]).
“As many as are persuaded and believe that what we [Christians] teach and say is true, and undertake to be able to live accordingly . . . are brought by us where there is water, and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated. For, in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said, ‘Except you be born again, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:3]” (First Apology 61 [A.D. 151]).
“Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life. . . . (Baptism 1 [A.D. 203]).

We are saved by grace. Baptism confers a free gift of God: God himself, the Holy Spirit. Jesus won our salvation once and for all on the cross—and won back for us the right to be “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet 1:4).
St. Paul teaches in his letter to the church in Ephesus that “by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God” (Eph 2:8-9). Baptism is about the faithful disposing themselves (or their dependent loved ones) to receive grace. In fact, we see the faith of parents proving to be sufficient in the obtaining of grace for their children throughout the New Testament Scriptures. Consider, for example, when Jairus appeals to Jesus to heal his daughter and she is brought back to life on account of his faith (Mk 5:21-43). “Do not fear; only believe, and she shall be well,” urges Jesus. Consider also how the faith of the Roman centurion led to the healing of his servant.
The sacraments are not magic. They require faith; and in the case of infant baptism (or the severely disabled) they require the faith of the infant’s parents.
Baptism of infants is implied in the Scriptures.
In the Old Testament circumcision was administered on the eighth day after birth as an external sign of an infant’s belonging to the people of God. In the New Testament it makes sense that the “new” circumcision of baptism—one spiritual and not literal—might be administered as both a sign and a cause of the child’s adoption by the Father through the Holy Spirit into the family of God (see Rom 8:14-17).
Peter in his first sermon after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost proclaims to the crowd, “Repent and be baptized every one of you for the forgiveness of your sins….and the promise is to you and to your children…” (see Acts 2:38). In the Acts of the Apostles we are also told that entire households were baptized. No exceptions are mentioned. St. Paul also recalls baptizing the household of Stephanus in his first letter to the Corinthians.
Failure to baptize infants is a deprivation. If baptism is a sacrament (which it is) and gives “free”, unmerited grace (which it does) then there is no good reason for Christian parents to hold back their children of the cleansing waters of this sacrament.
Baptism is only the beginning of a person’s journey of faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1996) describes the grace that we receive in baptism as “favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.” As a baptized infant increases in age this “seed of grace” planted at baptism begins to bloom inasmuch as he grows in faith, hope, and love.
Baptism anticipates the sacrament of Confirmation. Critics are right to point out that infants cannot claim Christ as their personal Saviour. Thus the sacrament of Confirmation exists as a sort of intensification of the grace of baptism where, upon rejection of Satan and sin and personal acceptance of Christ as Lord, the person who was baptized as an infant experiences a full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as the result of their maturing faith later in life.
Again I want to be clear that I understand the Protestant’s difficulty in accepting infant baptism (and I also understand that not all Protestants reject the sacramental view I’ve defended). The Bible does not explicitly endorse or reject infant baptism—it leaves the question somewhat open—and one’s interpretation of the Bible will ultimately decide how the sermon of St. Peter or the baptism of households are understood.
In the end I see no good reason to adopt the fairly novel idea of a merely symbolic baptism (I believe the Reformer, Ulrich Zwingli, was the first prominent Christian figure to argue this). Based on the evidence—biblical and historical—I’ll continue to stick with the priests, bishops, and teachers of early Christianity and, ultimately, the Catholic Church’s constant teaching for two millennia.

Even though I am focused on writing blogs about the Canadian digital landscape and emerging online trends, I wanted to share an idea that I have been kicking around in my head for a while. I mentioned in an earlier blog that I meet on Wednesdays with my “Career Yoda”, Rachel. We meet every week at a Second Cup where we discuss my assignments. I am always amazed by how many people are there working on their laptops and I have noticed that there are a number of regulars (sometimes teams of laptop workers) who are there every day. I believe that someone could write a book about the companies that these coffee shops have launched and I sense that there is an untapped market out there for coffee shops.
I recently discovered someone on Twitter who also had that thought and is already one step ahead of me. I recommend you check out @thecoffice to see what I mean. So, instead of writing a story about the entrepreneurs who now call coffee shops their “coffice”, I thought I’d outline some opportunities for coffee shops like Canada’s Second Cup and Starbucks (obviously an American chain) to tap into a new revenue stream by accommodating entrepreneurs beyond providing free wi-fi.
1. Private workbenches to rent by the hour – Toronto has already opened a few Centres for Social Innovation where entrepreneurs can rent a desk and chair or office space by the hour or for a short period of time. I believe that coffee shops have an opportunity to also offer this service if their shop is big enough. They could either have an upstairs area or an area in the back designated to entrepreneurs who are working out of their shop.
2. Private call rooms – If the coffee shop doesn’t have the space for full desks or tiny offices, another alternative (or addition to small offices) would be tiny phone booths or call rooms. They could have one or two tiny “phone booths” that just have a chair, tiny table and a phone that entrepreneurs could again rent for a small fee and would just pay the barista for a key to one of the booths, or book the room online in advance.
3. Conference call dial-in numbers – If small businesses are already there working for an hour or two, perhaps Starbucks or Second Cup could host a number of 1-800 dial-in numbers that they could rent to entrepreneurs for the day via an online service. This would likely involve a partnership with a Telco – I believe that Starbucks has already partnered with Bell on some web services. This could either be a separate fee or be built into the fee for renting a tiny space for the hour or day.
4. One or two private meeting rooms for teams – Again, this could be booked by the hour on some sort of web portal hosted by the coffee shop where entrepreneurs could book the room in advance when they know they will be working out of that “coffice”. The meeting room could be equipped with a projector and conference phone. Perhaps you could also pre-order coffee and treats to be set-up in the room when you get there?
5. Online Community for Entrepreneurs – Starbucks or Second Cup could tap into a community like Sprouter to have entrepreneurs share their stories about launching their business from their shops and also provide some coffee perks, no pun intended, to frequent users of their office services.
I suspect that there are additional opportunities for coffee shops to accommodate an “anywhere office” for entrepreneurs. Please share your ideas and I’ll add them to the list.
Thanks so much for the mention above in your post about The Coffice.
Free (sometimes limited) wifi service in partnership with the big telcos; a “laissez faire” attitude towards us Cofficers who plant in the Coffice for full work days; access to power outlets — these are just some of the benefits provided to us — whether they know it or not.
Starbucks is definitely taking a top position in my books as the corporate coffee shop leader. Their unlimited free wifi and newly launched content network has seen to that — both great moves on Starbucks’ part. The one I frequent is terrific to its patrons…from the baristas up to the district manager, whom I’ve met.
It may be a while before the other majors follow suit; I thought your ideas would be great for some of the indies to try out — especially the ones who are a bit put off by us dedicated Cofficers. Most issues tend start and end with money, so they may want to check these ideas out to maybe embrace the Cofficer and supplement revenue with some alternatives.
If Cofficers find them valuable (I think I would use one or two of them if they were available), indie coffee shop owners would know. If not, they move on. It can’t hurt.
One of the most important things I think a Cofficer (seasoned or rookie) should have is a really, really good network of other Cofficers (and beyond). Some of us could use it more than others, and this is one of the reasons why I’ve launched both the Twitter feed and Facebook page (blog to come). I really liked your Sprouter idea as well. These networks are so important to us Cofficers in provide the missing infrastructural elements needed to do our work.
Before signing off, one fantastic idea I actually read about recently (I’ll try to get the name of it) was a childcare service for work-at-home moms who want to get out of the house to do work but haven’t got alternative childcare options. I really loved this idea and think a coffee shop would do extremely well if this were in place.
We have places in the States called “Coworking Spaces” where entrepreneurs, independent contractors, and freelancers can pay monthly fees for access to a space to work at that isn’t their home. Not only do they offer places for the self-employed to go during the day, but it is also a great opportunity to network with other freelancers.
And there is usually free coffee to boot!
I’m all for working in coffee shops, but I’d like it better if they offered some kind of security for our belongings, that way I’m not totally paranoid that my bag will get stolen or have coffee spilled on it when I get up to go to the bathroom.
We have lots of coworking spaces up here too. Free coffee aside (a convenient value add), they’re all terrific and serve the needs of business people of all sorts just perfectly. Whether it’s a real desk, access to wifi and a printer, as well as networking opportunities, I highly recommend coworking spaces — if it’s something you can manage.
From my perspective, and of others, a monthly rental of any space — coworking, real office, etc. — isn’t very budget friendly for a freelancer/startup. But a coffee a day at $2.00 max. is very much workable. When I first started working out of my regular Coffice (a Starbucks in my neighborhood), I made sure to buy at least one thing in the morning and another in the afternoon.
As I’ve become better known there by the baristas and the manager, I don’t feel as obligated to keep buying. In fact, sometimes the baristas offer me a freebie every so often; it’s either an unclaimed drink from another customer or during a down time they’ll wave off my money. That’s just one benefit of becoming a regular at a Coffice.
Another benefit of being a regular at a Coffice is the networking opportunities; and with that is having a trusted co-Cofficer with whom you feel comfortable leaving your stuff. Regardless of how well you know that person, courtesy dictates that before asking them to watch your stuff, you ask them how long they plan on being there. If it’s long enough to use the facilities, great.
I’ve established a collegial relationship with another Cofficer at my regular Coffice. When he needs to step out to speak to a client, I’ll keep an eye on his stuff. When I have to take care of something at home (which is close by), he’ll do the same. Moreover, we’ve been able to trade business back and forth every so often. OH! And he designed my Coffice logo.
I could go on, but how’s that for Coffice networking benefits?
As far as spilling your coffee…that’s a tough one. I tend to put my bag and jacket on the other chair that comes with the table. I happily give it away during the busy times, but while I’m using it, it keeps my bag close to me and off the floor. So far the only spilling I’ve been concerned about is on my laptop.
Keep the great feedback coming David – here on Andrea’s blog and at our Coffice networks!

If I could wave my hands and remake the categories for the Hugo Awards, Best Editor (Long Form) would disappear. Not because the editors are not worthy of recognition, but because it is impossible to evaluate. At least when we vote for the Short Form Editors, we are really recognizing the overall body of work in putting together a particular magazine and / or their work in compiling an anthology.The short form editor is, ultimately, the face and the vision of a particular 'zine or anthology so when that 'zine or anthology is successful, the editor was successful. We don't know and can't know how much editorial work was involved in helping the author better craft the submitted story, or if a given author submitted a piece of work which barely needed to be touched. We just know if the end result of the editor's "good eye" was something we appreciate.
This is where Long Form is yet more difficult. In most cases, the editor is not the face of a publishing house and does not acquire and edit every book published by a given house. The Long Form Editor Hugo Award is not for Best Publisher, and yet it is impossible to evaluate the work the editor did that year. Presumably the Long Form editor both acquired and helped shape the final product of each book published with his or her name listed as editor, but how much credit goes to the editor in terms of being "best" versus simply having the good taste and fortune to acquire something awesome.
But this is where we are left to evaluate the editors, with a further challenge of how difficult it would be to read everything published by each of these five editors, or even just a solid representation of those works published. I read over 100 books each year and I read widely enough and mostly works published prior to the eligibility year that hitting sufficient works from each editor is nearly impossible.
What am I left with? Looking at the Hugo Voting Packet and evaluating my impression of the works listed from each editor as a measure of quality and "best" for 2014.
Anne Sowards and Sheila Gilbert both included a list of what they edited last year. Toni Weisskopf did not, but noted to go to baen.com to see her work. Neither Jim Minz nor Vox Day included sample lists of their editorial work, though Vox Day is the editor of Castalia House so presumably everything published there had Day's editorial work.
From that perspective, and without knowing specifically what Weisskopf edits at Baen compared to what Minz has edited, I would recognize Weisskopf's work as editor and publisher at Baen followed by the lists of Sowards and Gilbert. Jim Minz I place lower simply because neither Weisskopf nor Minz included their work and while Baen is very much worthy of recognition, there is no way for me to separate the two - so Weisskopf gets the nod at publisher and Minz is slid down the ballot. I recognize this is likely a disservice to Minz, but if I can't tell which works are his... Vox Day has fifth slot, above No Award, because while I can't quite tell which novel-length works were published in 2014, I do feel comfortable acknowledging that I am not the intended audience for Castalia House and I am not interested in much if not most of what they publish.

That is the latest example – the UN Human Rights Committee has registered a complaint of Vital Lapasau, activist from Hrodna. At first glance it is an ordinary complaint. Several dozens complaints of Belarusians have been registered and considered by the UN HRC recently. However, it should be noted that this is the first complaint of the kind from Hrodna region which was filed with the methodological support of Homel human rights defenders.
The reason for the complaint was the administrative penalty which the activists was fined after having attended an unauthorized mass event in the village Yakushouka , Svislach region on last year’s October 27. The event was dedicated to honor the memory of participants of the uprising of 1863. Other participants of the peaceful gathering – Anatol Valiuk and Viktar Dziesiatsik – were also fined. These activists have also filed individual complaints to the UN Committee. As was previously reported, Hrodna activist Aleh Kalinkou helped human rights activists to prepare the complaints to the international institution and methodological assistance was provided by Homel Center of strategic litigation.
In this regard, it should be noted that this example demonstrates the excellent cooperation, support and solidarity that today is developing between human rights defenders, lawyers and civil society activists in Belarus.
For example, as shows the case “Lapasau vs Belarus” filed to the Committee, Homel Center of strategic litigation does not limit its activities geographically. Specialists trained by HRH in Vilnius in the program “Bring the international standards of law home” , have become real experts in the field of international human rights standards and are able to work effectively with international judicial institutions, such as the UN Human Rights Committee .
And it’s wonderful, that their knowledge and experience multiply today and give real benefits in practice. Such an exchange of human rights experience gives positive results. This is important for the development of the process of implementation of international standards of law in the national legislation of Belarus as a country-signer of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Nevertheless, today basic constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens are being roughly violated.
In these circumstances, the practical experience of those who have been at the forefront of this important work – the protection of civil rights and liberties in the country – is very necessary for all those who continue to face unending violations at the hand of state agencies and finds no protection in the national judicial system and has no experience in protecting their rights in the relevant international legal bodies.
Exchange of experience and the appropriate legal support certainly helps in the effective human rights work, including the writing of individual complaints to the UN Committee on Human Rights, and as a result helps to improve the process of defending Belarusian citizens’ own inalienable constitutional rights and freedoms.

An important part of managing an effective change, designing a change management plan can be a difficult endeavor, especially if you have never created one before. Starting out from a change management template can help give you a guide as to how to organize your change management plan. A basic change management template will provide comprehensive framework for budget, planning, and personnel change management, and include forms and flyers commonly need during change within an organization. Many change management templates are catered to specific organizations and industries or common types of change within business.
Change management templates can be categorized by the type of business using them or by the type of change that is being made. Templates for business can differ based on the size of the business, the nature of the business, and how much money the business makes. One way to find a change management template for your business is to look for guidance from other businesses like yours that have undergone similar processes of change in the past. Find out which change management templates other managers have used to design change management plants for their businesses or departments.
The goal of a change management template is to help you and your organization plan an effective change management process. When choosing a change management guide to help you form your plan, it may be a good idea to consider your reasons for doing the change. Knowing why you made a change in your company can help you choose a change management template that helps your company reach the goals you aimed to reach when you first started planning the change.
Common goals within a change management template include executing the change within a budget, on time, and with the cooperation and success of the people involved in the change management plan. Coordinating change management for members of an organization can often be the most difficult part of effective change management. A good template guide for change management will address human responses to the change and provide resources to deal with people problems during the change.
Overall, a good change management template is one that makes sense to you and the people who need to use it. A plan guide that is too complicated or lacks detail when detail is necessary may cause frustration and confusion for the people trying to implement it. Choose a plan that helps you make your goals and processes clear to everyone so the members of your organization have the information they need to enact a successful transition.

Now that lil C is in our lives we don’t have the most exciting social schedule. We promised ourselves not to be bound to the house and our baby’s routine, but often it’s just easier to stay home.
But on Sunday afternoon we got a phone call from my cousin inviting us over for a wiener roast! I know it doesn’t sound that thrilling but for me, this was big news! In fact it was the most exciting social event of our week! I even did my makeup! Sure my aunt and uncle only live two blocks away and we were roasting wieners in their backyard, but I was pumped. It was fun. Have a look.
See, doesn’t that look like fun? It was, okay. It was.
He is SO cute! This sounds like so much fun!!!
Thanks Meridith. It was fun. Cohen is so laid back it makes everything so much easier!
