You might be surprised how many people don't know they're sending money through their roof.
A standard single family home going from an existing R-19 to R-38 will see a minimum reduction of 20% on their cooling and heating bill. If your electric bill averages $200.00 per month, about half of that is for cooling and heating typically. A 20% savings would equate to a $20 reduction on your bill each month.
However 80% of homes built before 1980 are not insulated to government standards.* Even newer homes may not be as energy-efficient as you think. State energy codes are only the minimum insulation requirements for new construction–not the amount recommended to optimize energy efficiency.
Overall, about 60 million homes in the U.S. are under-insulated, costing Americans $8.2 billion each year.* Simply insulating existing homes to current standards would save 800 trillion BTUs (that's 76 supertankers of oil) each year.
An energy-efficient home appeals to buyers' financial and environmental interests.
Owens Corning insulation products save many times the energy used to make it in the first year alone. And they continue to help conserve energy year after year without consuming any additional resources.
The products Owens Corning sells each year are responsible for the prevention of more than 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions. This equals the emissions of 200 million passenger cars or the use of 2 billion barrels of oil.
Many Owens Corning products are made with renewable resources, recycled materials or the byproducts of other production processes. Owens Corning Fiberglas™ insulation is made of plentiful sand and recycled glass. Its minimum of 35% recycled content is the highest in the industry.
Loosefill insulation, also called "blown-in" insulation, is made of virgin PINK fiber glass insulation. It's used in new construction and in existing homes, typically in hard-to-reach areas.
It will not settle or lose its energy-saving abilities over time.
It does not require the addition of fire-retardant chemicals that can promote corrosion of pipes or wires.
It will not rot or decay, support fungus or mold growth, or provide sustenance for insects or vermin.
The Department of Energy states the one thing Americans can all do to help reduce our dependency on foreign oil is to improve the insulation in our buildings which account for 60% of all our energy consumption.
To meet the need, Owens Corning introduces AttiCat, a blown-in insulation which expands to 18 times its size for better insulation R-value. The average family in the U.S. spends $1,600.00 per year for heating/cooling. Typically 35% -50% of a total electric bill is for cooling costs. AttiCat guarantees at least a 20% savings or $320.00 per year.
AttiCat is made up of 100% renewable materials (60% sand and 40% recycled jars and bottles) which are crushed into cullet, super heated and made into strands of micro glass fibers.Nothing is added to AttiCat - no binder,glue,chemicals or additives. It will not itch, crush or settle over time.
The competitive insulation, Cellulose, is made with boratic acid which is highly corrosive. This product is a fire hazard, it is reported there is a Cellulose fire in America every day. It also holds moisture which produces mold. Cellulose settles and looses its R-value.
To get an idea of what insulation could do for your comfort, your pocketbook, and the climate crisis, consider what it's already doing: without existing residential insulation U.S. carbon dioxide emissions would increase 15%. That's 1.35 trillion pounds of carbon dioxide, and it would take a forest of 300 million acres, equivalent to all of our harvested cropland, to take it back up.
The savings for existing insulation are nearly $84 billion in avoided heating and cooling costs per year! So while insulation requires up front costs, it's also one of the most rewarding, and long-lasting, cost savings and climate benefits. The industry has calculated that if all U.S. homes met just the insulation standards in the Model Energy Code from 1992, total residential carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. would fall nearly 30%.
Insulation even helps with creature comfort, making it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Combined with a good house sealing effort it can also reduce persistent moisture-related problems such as floor squeaks, drywall cracks, and condensation damage. The most cost-effective solution really depends on your house - how much insulation you have already and how it's heated and cooled - as well as your local climate. Insulation impact is measured according to its R-value. The R-value can range quite a bit; the higher the number, the better insulated your home will be. Different parts of the country and different parts of your home require insulation with different R-values. In general, ceilings (with attic or cathedral pitches) call for R-49 in most of the US, walls should be R-13 to R-18, basement interiors should be R-11 to R-19, and exteriors should be R-10 to R-15. State and local governments and your utilities provide financial incentives for insulation, so don't miss out on the savings. If a check from the government isn't enough, check out your potential return on investment, and compare it to any forays you might have had on the stock market. If energy prices continue their upward trend, insulation could be your most solid performer.
It is customary to re-insulate your attic during the roof process. Doing so will save a minimum of 20% off of your cooling and heating bills and make it more comfortable. Homes built before 2007 were required to only install R-19. New code is R-30, FPL suggests R-38 and The Department of Energy suggests R-49. Typical investment payback is less than 3 years. Insulated areas do not included non-conditioned spaces.

Though women are making progress, music directors of big-league orchestras still are overwhelmingly male.
In March, Xian Zhang made history: The Giuseppe Verdi Orchestra in Milan appointed the 35-year-old conductor to the position of music director, making her the first woman to earn that title with an Italian symphony orchestra. Pope Benedict XVI attended her inaugural concert at the Vatican alongside Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, and afterward compared the music to prayer.
Zhang has been associate conductor of the New York Philharmonic, won awards and appeared with major orchestras around the world, including the L.A. Philharmonic at Disney Hall, where she is leading a program of works by Bartok and Prokofiev this weekend.
But opinions about Zhang's new role bouncing about the blogosphere most frequently commented upon her gender. Music aficionados even posted close-up photographs of the Chinese-born and educated Zhang's glitter-painted lips on the Web. It's hard to imagine Gustavo Dudamel receiving the same treatment.
The appointment of a female music director in a country as conservative as Italy has generated considerable buzz and again focused attention on the progress women have made toward taking their place on the podiums of major orchestras -- and the stubborn forces that prevent more of them from getting there.
Classical music institutions throughout the world are embracing the notion of female conductors more than ever. In addition to appearing regularly as guest conductors and in assistant conductor positions with top orchestras, women are now commonly in the running for -- and occasionally winning -- music directorships.
Recent appointments in North American orchestras include Joana Carneiro at the Berkeley Symphony, Laura Jackson at the Reno Philharmonic, Anne Manson at the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Teresa Cheung at the Altoona Symphony, Elizabeth Schulze at the Flagstaff Symphony and Antonia Joy Wilson at the Midland Symphony.
The nation's most established female music directors are proving successful at their jobs. Over the course of JoAnn Falletta's 11-year directorship of the Buffalo Philharmonic, the orchestra's budget has grown from about $7.5 million to $10 million. The orchestra has won two Grammy Awards, made 14 recordings and boasts record subscription levels. Meanwhile, in 2008, the Baltimore Symphony announced its first balanced budget in five years, which observers attribute in part to enthusiasm surrounding the appointment of music director Marin Alsop in 2007.
It couldn't have been more different only a few decades ago. "It is safe to say that until the past 15 or so years, there simply was no woman with an important international conducting career," wrote Henry Fogel, the League of American Orchestras' former president, on his blog in 2007. Despite inroads by such early pioneers as Antonia Brico (1902-89), Sarah Caldwell (1924-2006) and Judith Somogi (1941-88), women rarely appeared on the podiums of major orchestras in the first half of the 20th century.
The 1980s saw a small surge in female conductors, with Alsop, Falletta and the composer-conductor Victoria Bond leading the pack.
These conductors had to fight hard for their success. When Bond was conducting the Pittsburgh Youth Orchestra early in her career, a doorman tried to prevent her from entering the rehearsal studio because he couldn't find her name on the orchestra's list of players. "I looked like a youth orchestra musician, not the conductor," recalls Bond, who is conducting the premiere of her own composition, "Frescoes and Ash," at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Monday evening.
"Then a newspaper guy got hold of the story and ran with it, saying, 'She's no bigger than a bass fiddle, but she's in charge of the orchestra,' " Bond said. "That was all very flattering, but it undermined my sense of authority."
Faletta has an alarming experience in her past as well. "When I was conducting a major symphony on the East Coast, one of the older members of the orchestra said he hoped he would die before seeing a woman on the podium."
The new generation of female conductors don't report the sort of skepticism encountered by their forebears. "I don't feel like I am being held back because of my gender," says Jackson. "I can continue to excel."
They are also reluctant to attribute professional difficulties to their gender.
"The chemistry between an orchestra and its conductor is very subtle. There are times where I feel that there is something not quite right, but I can't be sure why. Is it because I'm a woman or Asian or young or something else?" says Zhang. "I try not to be too sensitive to the fact that I'm a woman. The majority of my experiences have been very positive. I haven't felt any prejudice so far."
There seem to be several reasons for the growing self-confidence and prevalence of female conductors. Female instrumentalists are no longer a novelty in the country's top orchestras, which has helped audiences and industry insiders to accept that women are as capable of the highest levels of musicianship as their male counterparts. The increased visibility of women in leadership positions in politics and government as well as in key orchestral management positions, like L.A. Philharmonic President and Chief Executive Deborah Borda, also has had an impact.
"In the past, people saw leadership as a quality connected solely with men," says Boston Symphony assistant conductor Shi-Yeon Sung. "But now women like [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel hold very important positions, so people see that there is no limit to what women can do."
The increasing availability of training opportunities for women has also helped to attract more aspiring female conductors. Since its inception in 2002, the League of American Orchestras' Conducting Fellows Program has offered nine fellowships to up-and-coming conductors. Four of the recipients have been women.
The Taki Concordia Fellowship, founded by Alsop in 2003, exclusively supports the development of female conductors through mentorship and providing professional conducting opportunities with major orchestras alongside established musical directors such as Alsop.
"The fellowship provided me with a unique experience both in terms of the significant podium time as well as one-on-one coaching with Marin," says recipient Jackson. "I learned a ton from her. She was able to say things to me that no man would have dared to say. Once, when she was watching my left hand, Marin shook her head and said, 'Your left hand is way too girly.' We laughed. Her comments cut to the chase."
In the past, a conductor's job was largely wielding a baton from on high. These days, the role demands a more collaborative, nurturing approach. Orchestras expect their conductors to work as partners with the musicians and the community rather than be aloof artistic dictators.
"The old idea of the autocrat who led by absolute authority has fallen away," says Jesse Rosen, president of the League of American Orchestras. "The qualities of leadership have changed, enabling different types of people who possess strong partnering and nourishing skills, many of them women, to inhabit leadership roles."
If today's up-and-coming female conductors are able to ignore gender issues, it's partly thanks to their forebears.
"Without these amazing women, I know history for my generation would have been very different," says Carneiro. "I feel a deep sense of gratitude towards pioneers like Marin and JoAnn who have made it possible for my generation to have full access to all the opportunities we have. I have never felt I won or lost an audition or competition because of the fact that I am a woman. It was always based on musical reasons. This is a very profound gift and a privilege when we think of our recent history."
Yet the podium still remains largely male territory. Women head up only 11.9% of the country's symphonies, according to the latest data from the orchestra league. While female conductors are now more regularly ascending to music director positions at small and midsize orchestras, only two women in this country -- Falletta and Alsop -- run big-league institutions.
Conductor training programs continue to be dominated by male students. Tanglewood's three conducting fellowships all went to men this year. The Los Angeles Philharmonic's new conducting program offered four fellowships, all of them to male conductors; of the 26 conducting students enrolled on the Juilliard School's prestigious program since 1990, only four have been women.
And some people's minds change slowly. "A while ago, I auditioned for a music director position and was one of two finalists," recalls Sarah Ioannides, music director of the El Paso and Spartanburg, S.C., symphonies. "I didn't get the job. Later, I found out from a board member that the executive director didn't want a woman on the podium for its 50th-anniversary season."
Still, it may not be too long before the world's most august classical music institutions hire female music directors.
"I think we'll see a woman at the top within a decade," says Alsop, who hopes that there will be enough professional female conductors working in the world some day to open the Taki Concordia fellowship up to male applicants. "Then again, I might have said the same thing 25 years ago and would have been proved wrong. Hope springs eternal for me."

Three NC State College of Education faculty members recently received research grants from the STEM Education Initiative, a North Carolina State University initiative aimed to enhance and support faculty members who teach and conduct research in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
This year, the STEM Education Initiative selected 13 projects to receive more than $100,000 in research funding to enhance the teaching and learning of STEM fields at the university.
Assistant Professor K.C. Busch will use the STEM Education Initiative support to continue the development of Learning STEM in Informal Contexts; a course offered next semester to engage NC State students in the processes and practices of STEM learning that occurs outside of school. The coursework will focus on collaborative, community-engaged projects that include working with community partners who offer informal learning programs. The projects will encourage and support students to apply what they have learned from course activities about learning theory, research and evaluation. Community partners that have committed to the project include N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences, N.C. Museum of Art, N.C. Museum of History, the Museum of Life & Science—Durham, the NCSU Libraries, Gregg Museum of Art & Design, the Citizen Science Association, and N.C. State Farmers Market. Busch aims to develop the course further as a Graduate School certificate.
Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor Karen Hollebrands will use funding from the STEM Education Initiative to develop engaging tasks in online courses using videos and the latest technology platforms to enable teachers to learn how to implement effective mathematics teaching practices. In the tasks, mathematics teachers will be asked to watch video clips, identify important classroom moments, then describe those moments regarding the pedagogical moves made by the teacher or the features of students’ mathematical thinking. Teachers can then enact, record and share examples from their own practice that illustrate effective teaching practices. The goal of the project is to enhance the experience of online instruction using methods and techniques — like observing models of effective teaching and classroom discussion.
Associate Professor Temple Walkowiak will use the STEM Education Initiative funding to provide professional learning experiences through graduate-level coursework to a cohort of practicing elementary teachers to help them become leaders in mathematics teaching and learning — or mathematics specialists — at their respective elementary schools. The coursework will allow the cohort of practicing teachers to develop their mathematical knowledge for teaching in combination with the pedagogical practices necessary to facilitate conceptual understanding of mathematics among elementary-aged children. Additionally, the cohort will develop their roles as teacher-leaders and establish a professional network and community which aligns with research on teacher learning and the benefits of collaboration.

FIFA finally decided to hold the 2022 football world cup in Qatar during the winter. The decision results in a welcomed extra time for the organisers and in huge business and investment opportunites for both regional and foreign players. Despite the slide in the oil price and the hard economic challenges to the GCC countries recently reported, Qatar proved to constantly meet the expectations with consistent growth trends and positive results in diversifying its economy structure. The new Doha underground railway project together with the building of new key infrastructures and stadiums or bulding closely related to the World Cup are expected to generate an overall investment volume very close to $200 billion.
Several important projects are being approved, such the recent $79 million Doha Metro project awarded to Louis Berger JV, leaving room to many daring innovative projects standing out from the traditional and commonly expected improvements on ports, airports, road networks. One interesting example is the Msheireb Downtown Doha project that has been approved with the aim to redevelop, regenerate and preserve the historical city centre. The project will also include several hotel buildings, office spaces, retail and leisure facilities in a vaste operation that will have a long lasting international echo. The most innovative feature of the whole project is definitely the close attention to green building standards. While many are deeply concerned about many projects in the GCC area (like the the heart of Europe site in Dubai we’ve recently covered) that aren’t properly sensitive to ecological concerns, the Msheireb project in Doha is going to be the largest pool of LEED certified buildings on a 31 hectare showcase of the latest and most innovative green building features. The design elements with comply with the most severe LEED requirements while incorporating and expressing the most appreciated elements of the Arabian architecture and tradition.
The entire project is scheduled to finish in 2016, and represents the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project. The main purpose is to achieve a relevant change of direction in the city’s development pattern that commonly relied on isolated land us, car transportation, and energy consuming buildings and infrastructures. The architectural concept relies on the creation of a social and civic hub that will hopefully become the soul of the citizen’s life in all the areas: culture, leisure, business tourism, everyday life. Cars and traditional city service will be strategically placed in underground facilities in different basement levels, with the opportunity to realize a pedestrian friendly environment.
The project is being realized together with the Pearl Qatar which spans an artificial islands of nearly 4 million sqm with upscale residential and retail structures and a total investment of $15 billion for 12.000 residential units.
While keeping the concerning passion for artificial islands and energy hungry development projects, Msheireb represents a great change of direction that will hopefully set the path for further similar projects in the GCC area.

Camera IconANZ has announced structural changes to deal with the challenges facing banking sector.
ANZ has overhauled its leadership structure in Australia following last year's departure of retail chief Fred Ohlsson, giving two executives joint responsibility for the bank's local financial performance.
Mark Hand has been named Mr Ohlsson's permanent successor as retail chief, and digital banking boss Maile Carnegie is taking on an expanded role as digital and Australia transformation executive.
The pair will jointly share responsibility for ANZ's financial performance in Australia, which chief executive Shayne Elliott indicated was a response to the challenges posed by the financial services royal commission.
"It was clear that retaining a single governance and accountability structure is no longer suitable given the size and complexity of the challenges facing domestic banking in Australia," Mr Elliot said in a statement.
Mr Ohlsson, who was ANZ's NZ boss before becoming Australia group executive in 2016, stepped down on December 29.
He assisted Mr Hand throughout January.
Ms Carnegie joined ANZ in 2016 after working for Google as managing director in Australia and New Zealand following 20 years with Proctor and Gamble.
The structural changes to the executive management team will come into effect from March this year.

“Sixteen parents involved in the college admissions scandal were charged today in Boston in a second superseding indictment with conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering in connection with a scheme to use bribery to cheat on college entrance exams and to facilitate their children’s admission to selective colleges and universities as purported athletic recruits,” a Department of Justice press release announced.
So what’s behind Loughlin’s decision to enter a not guilty plea?
As for how much jail time she’s possibly facing, the Department of Justice press release states that each charge against the actress provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

I believe that I may have become a victim of a modeling/photography scam out of Sarasota, FL. My purpose is to ascertain that I have been, and if I have, to warn other aspiring models.
It all started innocently enough, by answering an ad in the paper. In big, bold letters was the question, "HAS ANYONE EVER TOLD YOU YOU COULD BE A MODEL?"
What type of modeling would you prefer? What are your measurements? What is your address?
Then I was directed to sit with dozens of other hopefuls (we were jammed in that room like sardines).
At around 7:45 PM, George came in and gave a lengthy speech about how his wife modelled in NY and still did up until several years ago, but now she has M.S.
He went on to rail about schools and other agencies. "It is never a good idea to sign any agreement because of the obvious ramifications."
Basically, he did a lecture or a quick review of the modeling industry and stressed the importance of getting a comp card.
It is extremely important, he said, it has to be done by a fashion photographer, and done on location with a professional hair and makeup artist.
He then went on to show us comp cards (he passed these around to us hopefuls). He passed around comp cards from his colleague first. Clearly pitching his cohort.
And then he passed around other comp cards by other fashion photographers, supposedly from Tampa, which, in his opinion, weren't any good.
"Everything has to be natural, natural lighting. Not posed in a studio with a back drop."
And he pitched for his photographer again.
Now, he didn't insist that we use his (who incidentally is a big-shot photographer in NYC and normally gets $1,500 per day), but he could arrange (nice guy that he is) for us to use him, because (as luck would have it) he vacations here in sunny Sarasota, FL.
He repeatedly insisted that we did not have to use his colleague. But insisted that we use a "fashion photographer" who shoots on location. At preferably three locations.
He ended it by saying that he has an eye for prospects and can tell just by observing how people behave in the audience if they are viable for the modeling industry.
He spoke about how many people come to him looking for commercial, print, fashion shows for malls, and promotional work (John Deere) models.
And he also insisted that on these comp cards to never pose in a swimsuit. His exact words were, "Keep your clothes on, choose tasteful outfits."
Towards the end of his lecture, he summarized by saying, "Don't sign anything or pay any upfront money."
And the best way to start up is to have a comp card. He would help us, or act as a consultant (hence the name) to get started in the modeling industry by giving us the top names of agencies and addresses to send our comp cards to, by holding free workshops, and helping us put in a good name with people he knew.
He doesn't recommend any photographers other than the one out of NYC.
He told us the typical cost for a day's worth of shooting for a comp card is anywhere from $600-$1,500.
He ended by saying that he would not pick everyone in the room to "help." He said that he would only pick about three of us (out of the approx. 26 of us in the room).
Next he dismissed us and shook each one of our hands and wanted all of us to call him the next day between 10 and 2 (if memory serves correctly).
Well, lucky me, I was one of the three chosen, and he had my questionnaire right in front of him with my snapshot (at that very moment).
Now that I was picked, I needed to find a photographer.
Well, I checked around and a lot of what he said rang true. I even checked his company on the BBB. He had and still has a satisfactory record and has been in business for 30 years (all corroborated in his story).
So I went with his colleague, thinking, "Well, $450 is better than $700."
So I got my appointment. But instead of paying the photographer, I paid, (surprise!) S.T.A.R.T. modeling.
I was to pay in three non-refundable increments of $150. The first $150 was due at my first appointment back at S.T.A.R.T. models; the second payable at the "free workshop"; and the third on the day of the shoot in cash (the first two we paid by check).
All payable to S.T.A.R.T. models.
We were herded like cattle into small, make-shift dressing rooms where the makeup artist was also the hairstylist. She did not use hairspray of any type, opting for the natural look, I suppose.
The photographer rushed us in and out for our different looks.
My on-location shots? They were outside of the agency's building in a crowded parking lot, using a palm tree for a backdrop.
I should also mention that this company moved twice. They were in Pine Park Plaza, but had recently moved to Coral Cove Plaza, supposedly to give them more room just in time for the shoot.
My shoot was in the summer. I just now received my comp cards, about five months later.
And they moved back to the old location at Pine Park Plaza, just in time for me to pick up my cards, I guess.
And all this "help" they were supposed to give? I received 50 comp cards ($60), my slides, a portfolio book ($37), internet posting ($84), a computer-generated manual on "Becoming a Model," with, as promised, a complete listing (or is it?) for agencies in FL (approx. 60 agencies listed) and other selected states.
He led all of us to believe that he would help us, he had connections, etc., etc.
If he were to help me, why wouldn't they have kept some of my composite cards? I received all 50 of them, and all of my slides, including those that were used for my comp card.
According to them, when I need more cards, I am to contact them only.
My apologies for the length of this letter. I hope it is of some benefit to any aspiring models out there. Hindsight is always 20/20. Please do extensive checking. I thought we were careful enough.
In describing the nature of this company's business, the BBB said: "Model consulting agency. Help them get to composition cards and list of agencies to send cards to. Provide manual regarding modeling industry. No costs or fees required."
What is a "model consulting agency"? Either they are a model/talent agency or they are not. What is a consulting agency? Are they trying to sound like a model/talent agency?
Do they have a Florida talent agency license? According to the online state database, they don't. Now that we know they are not a licensed talent agency, which relegates them to relative insignificance, look at what they do.
The first thing they say is they help people get comp cards. Hello? You should not get comp cards unless and until you get representation from an model/talent agency. Comp cards are used for marketing. The agency has to market you. They have to approve of the comp cards. Therefore getting comp cards before you get representation, and without the approval of an agency, could be a total waste of money.
The second thing they claim to do is get a list of agencies to send cards to. What? Are they passing out phone books? Lists? What do they offer that you cannot get yourself easily? Is that "consulting"?
The third thing is to provide a modeling industry manual.
Is that it? Has this company been getting models comp cards before they get representation, handing out lists they could get on their own, and passing out manuals worse than books they could buy in a store for the last 30 years?
If they have been in business for 30 years, and they are so experienced and knowledgeable to the point of being experts, why are they not a licensed talent agency?
In a state like Florida where a talent agency license is required, the further aspiring models get away from a licensed agency, the more flaky it gets.
The NYC fashion photographer requirement line is overused and ridiculous. And false. In the past, it has been used to promote photographers and persuade aspiring models to pay for expensive photos.
You mentioned you had to pay $84 to be on their website. That's expensive and a waste of money, not only because you probably won't make that much from work through their website, but also because it does not cost them $84 to put your picture online.
Even though you did get something out of your money, unlike others, who, for example, never got the comp cards they paid for, this whole "model consulting agency" thing sounds half-hearted, half-baked, unimaginative, disconnected, unaccountable, unnecessary, and expensive.

A friend of mine, a young man, of excellent habits, having an aptitude for scholarly pursuits and a genuine call to full-time ministry, was just denied entrance to a seminary because he does not believe in eternal security. Can you imagine such blindness on the part of the administration? They are turning away one of the finest candidates that will ever apply to them because he does not subscribe to the readily disproved, destructive doctrine of eternal security (once an individual makes a profession of Christ he can never be denied entrance to Heaven).
Personally I am thankful they did not receive him, for he is outspoken in his beliefs and he and they would have been in combat within the month.
You and I and everyone else are to do the Father's will at all times, under all circumstances. Anything else is absolutely unthinkable. All who persist in disobeying God from this point forward (for the trumpet of the Lord is sounding in the spirit realm—the Kingdom is at hand!) will experience very severe chastening in the hope they will repent and choose to obey the Father with a whole heart.
God will always help every individual who desires to do His will.
How could we have been so deceived?
This is how we are to regard sin. We are to "utterly abhor and detest it."
All sin of every sort has been "set apart for destruction." As Matthew tells us in the thirteenth chapter, all that offends God shall be removed from the Kingdom. After that, those who offend shall be removed.
This means each one of us will be given an opportunity to surrender that which is displeasing to the Lord. However, if we choose to cling to our sinful, disobedient behavior, we ourselves shall be removed from the Kingdom. This is true whether or not we have "accepted Christ."
We have made accepting Christ an alternative to righteous behavior. Receiving Christ is not an alternative to obeying God and living uprightly in His sight. Rather, receiving Christ is the means whereby we obtain forgiveness and then the grace to live so as to please God.
The totally unscriptural concept that accepting Christ is an alternative to righteous behavior has so deceived the Christian people that numerous churches are little more than prisons of unclean spirits. The things that take place in such churches range from unforgiveness, bitterness, and rage to the wildest forms of sexual anarchy, and everything in between. And all of this demonic revelry proceeds from the Christian doctrine that once we make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ we are eternally protected from the anger of God that is directed toward unrighteous behavior.

The River Slaney is a wide strong flowing river punctuated with slower flowing areas and pools in some stretches. The river between Enniscorthy and Bunclody is wide and fast flowing. From Bunclody to Tullow the banks are generally clear and the river is wide, with a strong fast current. However, there are a good number of weirs punctuated by pools with some slower flowing areas. The stretch from Tullow to Baltinglass is fast flowing, rocky and overgrown in parts. In the Co Wicklow stretch of the Slaney north of Tullow, brown trout is the dominant species.
The River Barrow shares a common estuary with the Rivers Nore and Suir, they are known as the ‘Three Sisters’. The Barrow is a more gently flowing river and has been made navigable by building canals round the shallow areas, and therefore best fishing areas are downstream of the weirs that divert the waters to the canals. Because the Barrow is a slower and deeper river than the others, the distribution of its trout stock differs significantly. Therefore the best numbers can be found in the vicinity of the shallower water downstream of the weirs.

But the rest of the Longhorns would take care of business against New Hampshire, readily disposing the team that made a 2,000-mile trip to the Frank Erwin Center. When the final buzzer sounded, Texas came away with a 78-60 victory.
“Mo’s a great player, but we’ve got 12 other scholarship guys, so if one goes down, we’ve got a whole lot of dudes that will step up and fill in his absence,” transfer junior forward Dylan Osetkowski said.
Just 20 seconds into the game, Osetkowski confidently nailed a three from the top of the key to give Texas a 3-0 lead. In the absence of his frontcourt counterpart and the team’s leading scorer, Osetkowski would take over as the team’s offensive leader on Tuesday night.
The first-year Longhorn finished with a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double — his second of the young season. Osetkowski utilized his physicality down low and his arsenal of post moves consistently powered him past New Hampshire defenders.
Head coach Shaka Smart claims Osetkowski is his team’s “Draymond Green,” always bringing the aggressive mentality to the hardwood. This style of play succeeded Tuesday night, as Texas drew 21 fouls in a physical game where no basket in the paint was guaranteed.
“When (Osetkowski’s) out there having fun, playing with a clear mind, trying to be a leader with his teammates, trying to orchestrate our offense, defense and talking at a high level, then he’s really good,” Smart said.
One of the players who stepped up to make an impact was forward Jericho Sims. It was a particularly special night for the freshman, who scored eight points and blocked three shots in his first collegiate start.
Texas did not pull away from New Hampshire until the tail end of the first half. The Wildcats were within six points with 3:45 remaining but they kept gifting Texas free throw attempts, and the Longhorns concluded the half with a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe.
Texas scored 39 points in each half, displaying offensive consistency throughout. But the team improved its field goal percentage with time and looked much more adept at the three-point ball in the second half en route to a 2–0 start to the season.
Texas will continue its early non-conference schedule on Saturday when the Longhorns host Lipscomb. Tipoff is slated for 4 p.m.

"This Sunday, people in Cyprus will be praying for rain..." Listen to the BBC Radio 4 piece and Photis Photiou doing a Eurovision intro here once you scroll to 53:37 of the hour-long radio show.
Our thanks to Stravaraland's minister of culture and agnostic affairs, who alerted us to the broadcast.
Last October, we mentioned how pathetically stupid Da Flag on Da Mountain looks like to any neutral observer. This year, in the anniversary of "TRNC Independence", we are told that flags of the size of 11 football pitches were placed on Pentadaktylos. So big were the flags that apparently they could be seen (with the help of non-linear vision) from Turkey. Now, my T/C friends, we had our share of "Makarios ZH" mountaintops until we grew up. It took us a few painful decades. The question is, when will you grow up?
Yet another example of alarmist journalism on behalf of the state broadcaster that raises the following questions. If, as the report states, the CyCentral Intelligence Agency has evidence of livestock being smuggled from the north, why have they not detained anyone for questioning?
If, as the report states, FMD may have been transmitted to the south by these animals, then why has there been no testing for the disease in the north?
What, if anything, are these journalists in the public employ doing to secure evidence to back up these unsubstantiated reports?
Maybe it's a matter of the intelligence agency always being right.
Of course one could be fickle and wonder how a confidential report was leaked to a broadcaster.
The CyBC-related petition as mentioned by Apodimos Kypreos in the previous post) was sparked off by that proverbial straw that broke a camel's back - in this case a story that was presented by the state broadcaster over 3 weeks after over a dozen bloggers in Cyprus voiced their solidarity in support of Neşe Yaşın, the Turkish Cypriot poet and author, who has recently been harassed by extremists within the Turkish Cypriot community.
The evening news presented the story in its usual alarmist tone under the headline "Neşe Yaşın reveals to the CyBC how her life is threatened by the Talat regime. They call her a traitor and a whore". The anchor, Emilia Kenevezou also made a blanket claim that 'Talat regime' also exercises 'cultural terrorism'. At the same time, however, it becomes apparent that those who harass are supporters of Rauf Denktash and an assortment of nationalists and the media who support them.
"We, the undersigned, strongly protest against the unbridled disinformation and propaganda as served up by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), while they claim to be "reliable and objective" in their presentation of the news. We hereby charge CyBC with willfully skewing reality when it comes to news concerning the Turkish Cypriot community, thus creating an atmosphere of mistrust within the Greek Cypriot community.
We feel that the state broadcaster merely bolsters opinions held by extremists who claim that we have nothing in common with the turkish cypriot community and that no good can come of any contact with the 'other' side. CyBC, along with other media which blindly support the establishment, maintain and reinforce a negative climate between the two communities on the island.
It is obvious that this unrelenting propaganda aims to maintain an atmosphere of animosity and rivalry, thus widen the rift between the two communities in order to convince people that they cannot live with each other..."
But this time not the UK PM's office, but your very own Agency for Objective News, The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation.
The following letter to the editor appeared today in the Cyprus Mail.
I was bemused by your article on the naming of lokoumi. It’s not very often I do, but on this point I have to take the side of the Turks over this issue. I think the Greek Cypriots are being childish and pathetic over the whole thing. Why can't we just call it Turkish Delight like the rest of the world does? Or at least Turkish Delight made in Yeroskipou.
Every time I visit Cyprus, I feel embarrassed at the childish way we call it Cyprus Delights. Do you really think the tourists are so stupid that they will not know it’s just out of pathetic grudges that we have changed the name? And the ones that don't know anything about the political situation in Cyprus simply won't buy it because they will not know that it is Turkish Delights. We would probably sell more if it was called by its proper name. The same product is also manufactured here in Britain but the manufacturers do not call it British Delights. Nobody here has ever heard of lokoumi or Cyprus Delights.
I'm sure if it was say the Italians, Armenians, French or some other friend of ours who invented the product we would not have a problem using their national name, provided they allowed it.
It’s just because its got the word Turkish in it, that’s why we call it differently from what the rest of the world. How pathetic.
Strange attitude for a people who are supposed to be wanting to get back to living with the Turkish Cypriots.
Of course, the answer could be that the attitude is just about right if you really do not want to get back to living with the other community. Especially if you live in Pafos, and you are one of the Last of the Mohicans.
We are told that last week a 64-year old Greek Cypriot died in a T/C jail. The official diagnosis talked about a combination of pneumonia and cancer, that were exacerbated in prison. I am not a doctor but, like me, you probably don’t believe a single bit of this excuse. If 15 G/C policemen can beat two G/C students during Christmas in the middle of the road (OK, it was midnight) without any fear, I can only imagine what the T/C police can do to a G/C “dealing in antiquities” in a T/C prison. Police brutality is rife on both sides of the divide, but if I had to choose a prison, I would pick one depending on my ethnic roots. I also think this would be the choice of most Cypriots on the island.
How has this point been reached? If one could somehow measure trust, do we have any doubt that trust between the two communities has been going down over time? Is it not the case that a minimum amount of trust is necessary to live in peace? Note, I am not talking about building a “bizonal, bicommunal federation,” or a “confederation”. I am talking about being able to live in good, orderly, neighborly and civilized fashion, without fear of being gunned down on the pretext of some ethnic-struggle ideal, by someone who might otherwise have been unfit to be free in society, (a "hero" for some, if you prefer).
Is either government (administration?) on each side of the divide doing anything to stop the accelerating animosity between the two communities? Does either government care about this increased animosity? Will future generations live to regret the distrust being resown on both sides of the divide? If Tassos were on talking terms with Mehmet Ali Talat, could not Tassos have secured the release (or have prevented the death) of the said G/C? What have the administrations on both sides of the divide done to reduce the deep prejudices of their peoples? Had it not been for the Fulbright program, would there have been any contact between the G/C and T/C between 1974 and 2004? Why do the governments on both sides intentionally strive to eliminate all contact between ordinary T/C and G/C? Has the Denktas mentality finally resurfaced gloriously victorious? Who gains from maintaining and encouraging conflict? Who gains from following a strategy of conflict? And what will, in 200 years, be the end result from following a strategy of conflict?
Το θαύμα είναι που υπάρχουν μερικές συντάκτριες στην εν λόγω εφημερίδα που ίσως μας αναγκάσουν να αναθεωρήσουμε τη γνώμη μας ότι ο Φιλελεύθερος συνεχίζει να παραμένει η Εφημερίδα της κάθε Κυβέρνησης.
The man who brought us killer tomatoes, dangerous onions, pseudo-Bulgarian lamb, rogue potatoes and who, at one stage, hinted at Foot and Mouth Disease having originated in the pseudoNorth is out to defend the fishermen of Stravaraland who have their knickers in a twist over the fact that the new Green Line regulations now allow for fish to cross the demarcation line.
The local fishermen and their preposterous claims have the full backing of the minister who never did a thing about desalination. The fishermen were going on about the 'low quality' of fish and even suggested that some of them came from Turkey.
Turkey, as you may well know, has a completely different sea than ours. We are surrounded by the Greek Cypriot Mediterranean, while the pseudonortheners and the Turks fish from the occupied, pseudo-northern Mediterranean.
Millions of tourists are duped every year into eating fish in Turkey which in many cases leads to instant death due to the extremely low quality of their highly toxic fish. This of course is covered up on an ongoing basis by the evil angloamericans.
But the fishermen have come up with a cunning plan. The fish ought to come with certificates that will indicate the name of the fisherman and the area in which the fish were caught. Yes, exactly the same information that is available to all consumers at all fish markets in Stravaraland where every bozo who sells fish insists it is fresh and hails from Latchi. Some of them even suggested that the fish be stamped like, say, sides of beef. What a brilliant idea! How do you stamp marides, re koumpare?
Surely, though, when Photis suggests that fish coming from the geographical north ought to be identified as 'imported' he is implicitly recognising the TRNC!
Mega acquired exclusive video images of a 12 year old schoolgirl being pushed around and roughed up by older bullygirls in what appears to be a school yard. The clip in question was uploaded to YouTube by cncminustv. As the blog quite rightly points out, the TV station has hit a new low. This time all they've done to the images of these underage girls is to invert the colours, the sound has in no way been altered. Invert them again and all those appearing in it become recognisable.
Mega, of course, is the same TV station that, in a fit of sensitivity, blurred the images of culled sheep in Dromolaxia as the carcasses were being dumped into a truck.
Since April 2004 we have not seen any attempt by the incumbent to use the internet to explain why the G/C voted NO. We have not seen any one-page advertisments in the FT, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Time or Newsweek to explain why the G/C could not trust Turkey to stand by its side of the bargain.
Not only that, when the foreign press was in Stravaraland, the President himself wondered aloud, in front of the foreign press, whether a "cold reception in Dublin meant that the waiter will not serve him"!?
Now, a few months before the Presidential Elections, the net has been discovered! To publicise our Third World mentality. Yes. Tassos Papadopoulos has his own webpage now. Moreover, throught this website, you can sign up to go to Stravaraland and vote for free (because us apodimoi are not allowed to vote at our local embassy or consulate). I guess if you have the money it makes more sense to invest it on Cyprus Airways, and get the credit for saving the national airline as well.
It's truly shocking that TeePee's new website features this capture from a video of Da Man slapping a poor child. Shameful, indeed, but the best bits are the rip-roaring, hysterical adulations poured upon the leader in the "comments" of the blog section.
What is interesting, though are the Facebook links. With over 18,600 people in the Cyprus network on the social networking site, it does seem like a smart move.
Of course there's a YouTube link as well, which is bound keep people entertained especially in view of the fact that one can't find any South Park clips any more. Now there's an idea for a debate - Cartman moderating the presidential candidates debating at CyBC. Kareklas can play the role of Kenny.
OK, now go off and have some fun. Don't forget to follow the link above and check out all those erudite comments.
I want to argue that we owe to AKEL and Jimmy the most interesting elections in Cyprus politics. AKEL decided in 1988 to support George Vassileiou and against all odds (there must have been an ambient atmosphere back then from the DIKO establishment), managed to get George elected. George was like a sea of fresh air since, unlike every other politician at the time, he had not been directly involved in politics since 1960. In fact, he was not part of the first generation EOKA fighters, and he did not even try to associate himself with them! He appointed young upstarts with promising credentials (George Lillikas), started a university against all advice to the contrary, put in an application to an organisation known as the European Community, and even claimed that he wanted to solve Da Stravaraland problem YESTERDAY. Big words. Which he lived to pay in 1993 when the establishment hit back with Glafkos. Back then, in 1993, even Tassos would support Glafkos over the upstart Vassileiou, right?
Moreover, AKEL (under Jimmy by now) stood to its guns, both in 1993 and 1998, and again we had the most close elections since 1988. AKEL lost but still, democracy became more entrenched as the final result was never disputed and it was not so clear who the winner would be (unlike pre-1988 elections). Well, to some extent. The point is that the 95% days of Makarios, or the withdraw-your-candidacy-because-Achilleas-is-abducted or even the support-me-or-foreign-agents-will-Captain-Nemo-us days of Spiros, were gone for ever.
And we come to this election campaign. Which might actually prove quite interesting. Contrary to the attempts of the new establishment (Lillikas etc) to bring back the 2004 atmosphere without any ideas or proposals about what the future holds or should hold, people are beginning to question the value a 1960s EOKA man can offer to the country post 2008. People wonder. Is there really a vision for the future beyond the goal of securing another election victory? One reads even in the state-newspaper, Big Phil, articles questioning the idea that discussing the dead-and-buried Annan Plan is productive in any real sense. One begins to ask whether the emperor has any clothes. And for that questioning to have been made possible, you have no-one else to thank but Jimmy. Yes, whether you like it or not, whether you like his post 2004 behavior, you have to thank Jimmy for taking a stand when he could do something about it, namely NOW. Given the political system and the political situation, he waited to strike at the right moment, still with substantial risk, to give us the best show in terms of elections since independence. For that alone, you have to be grateful to him.
Omikron magazine is running a TV poll. There are a number of categories which we conveniently skipped, in order to proceed to the only question of any interest which is the "sexiest female TV presenter". Our choice is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, none other than Stavriani Constantinou. You can vote for her by going straight to question 21 and ticking the fourth box.
Our thanks to the OffSite daily e-mail newspaper for bringing this Stavriani related item to our attention.
I object to people telling me that I should stop watching CyBC. To its theoretical credit, the taxpayer-funded broadcaster is the only station to carry a current affairs programme during the day. It varies in quality and hysterics. I like the smiling man who asks good questions and am usually amused by the other guy who asks interminable questions and is always interrupting or interjecting (yes, he did refer to the sheep farmers as being uneducated on Wednesday).
But the highlight of "Apo Mera se Mera" is the delectable Stavriani Constantinou, who was recently voted Best Female News Presenter in a TV Mania poll. More importantly than that, though, Stavriani was also voted the most beautiful woman in Stravaraland in our own babe poll with 170 votes cast so far.
However, as one of the presidential candidates rightly pointed out, the programme features a slew of politicians during the recent foot and mouth fiasco, and not enough epidemiologists. It would have been much more useful for the editors to find someone who could give people a rundown of what the disease entails, instead of having Photis going on and on about how impressed the EU seems to be by our brilliant handling of the situation. Strangely enough, however the minister of killer tomatoes played down the ubiquitous Turkish Cypriot factor. Maybe Marcos in Brussels asked him to tone it down a bit.
The other thing journalists seem to avoid is asking questions. This, of course, would take too much valuabe time better spent on getting hysterical and pathetic. Instead of asking what the hell cars are being sprayed with when going back and forth between contaminated zones and the rest of planet Stravaraland, they'd rather encourage the suffering farmers to tell the how they viewed the livestock as being their children and grandchildren. Maybe occasionally sending one's offspring to an abattoir is considered as perfectly acceptble in certain cultures, so I won't argue this point.
One CyBC reporteroid even went as far as to tell us that this catastrophe was tantamount to farmers being made refugees a second time over and carried on bleating "...having saved their flocks in 1974 they find themselves facing yet another disaster in 2007".
The fact that a lot of the stricken farmers happen to be refugees ought not to be used to conjure up ludicrous images of people fleeing with a sheep strapped to their backs. Let's get real and ask real questions here, shall we.
...what your country can do for you.
"I spoke to Marcos and....."
Stravaraland's minister of agriculture, natural resources and the environment has yet to resign, despite leading the ministry from one gaffe to the next. His numbers never add up, his excuses are lame and racist, and the island is already facing and acute water shortage.
Over the last few years, Photis has tried to blame everything on the Turkish Cypriots. So far we've had to endure a number of preposterous allegations which included a tomato scare (remember what an alarmist fuss was made over the possibility of National Guardsmen consuming tomatoes from the north?) followed by a rogue potato flood, which turned out to be potatoes going from south to north. Then we had onions invading the republic.
But the minister's proudest moment came when he started championing Cyprus lamb and went as far as to imply that if we were to consume bulgarian lamb masquerading as Greek (both members of the EU and foot and mouth free) we would end up in purgatory, die or both.
Then came the foot and mouth "scare". One accusation that was flung about was that this came...from the north. This allegation was later played down.
But the math is incredible. A 10 km exclusion zone around the infected farm may, according to the minister who is unable to do anything about either desalination or forest fires, will affect up to 150,000 head of livestock which may have to be culled.
Who comes up with these numbers? What is being done about the primitive state of these farms? What happened to Marcos Kyprianou's efforts to save the island's goats and sheep? How much will this cost? What are the real number of infected animals? How can we skim off the the compensation that has already been promised?
How come this minister hasn't resigned yet?

Throughout this Jubilee Year, we are called to reconciliation, which is also a theme for Lent and Renew 2000. One particular area of reconciliation Pope John Paul has pointed to is Christian unity.
This week's saint, in particular, calls our attention to the divisions, angers and misunderstandings that have divided Christians over the years.
St. Nicholas Owen was born at Oxford, England, and through the practice of his craft -- carpentry -- played a key role in saving the lives of numerous priests during the persecution of Catholics under King James I.
For two decades, Nicholas -- who also went by the names Little John, Little Michael, Andrewes and Draper -- assisted Jesuit priests by building hiding places for them in the mansions of Catholics throughout England.
These hiding places were behind walls, in underground chambers and inaccessible passageways. He not only designed these hiding places, he built them -- after receiving Communion and while engaging in constant prayer -- even though it often meant moving huge stones all by himself. He also kept their locations secret.
He himself had become a Jesuit lay brother in 1580. He was arrested in 1594, along with Fr. John Gerard, but neither one would reveal the names of any of their Catholic colleagues, despite repeated, brutal torture.
Eventually, Nicholas was released when a wealthy Catholic paid the ransom so that Nicholas could resume his work of providing hiding places for the clergy.
His brush with the authorities didn't deter Nicholas, who is believed to have engineered Fr. Gerard's escape from the Tower of London in 1597.
He avoided further arrest until 1606, when he, St. Fr. Henry Garnet (whom he had served for 18 years), Blessed Fr. Edward Oldcorne and Blessed Br. Ralph Ashley were imprisoned in the Tower of London. Actually, Nicholas' capture came only when he allowed himself to be caught instead of the priest he had hidden.
Nicholas died on March 2, 1606, from the vicious torture to which he was subjected. Blessed Oldcorne and Ashley were executed a month later, and St. Henry was martyred the next year.
Nicholas was canonized in 1970 by Pope Paul VI as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. We celebrate his feast on March 22.
The life of St. Nicholas Owen reminds us of how much work remains to be done in reconciling the various Christian churches more than 400 years after the divisions began.

There are many different types of security camera systems for businesses. Researching which type of system is best for your business is the first important step. Many factors play a role in the decision making process. Some of these may include the type of business, the amount of time and effort required to install the equipment, and the amount of money that the business is willing to invest.
Here at JSB Surveillance, we work hard to offer the best possible products for a variety of different purposes, ensuring that we always go the extra mile for our clients. Take a look at your premises, determine whether or not you require additional security, and budget the amount that you would like to spend on your upgrades. By taking small steps, you can greatly deter theft, and ensure that you are able to properly protect your premises.
Basic security systems are significantly better than no system. We have 4-channel DVR packages starting as low as $600.00. Even the most basic systems will record security cameras at a high digital resolution, provide motion detection recording, and have built-in remote access. Our entry system can be viewed via your Iphone, Ipad, and Android device. Our starter system even has a built-in 500GIG hard drive which will provide months of recordings.
One benefit of investing in a basic security camera system is the fact that it is going to greatly reduce the amount of time and effort that you have to put into securing your premises, and will not require you to make a large investment in the process. These basic systems can easily be installed by yourself. JSB Surveillance offers free unlimited phone tech support with all system purchases.
Installation is definitely something that needs to be considered when investing in a security system. Most basic security systems are simple enough for business owners to install themselves, but we are always available to help you throughout the installation process as well. Also, there are many guides online for different security systems, which can help you to install security system if you are having problems.
Higher-end business security camera and alarm systems are going to be a bit more expensive, usually costing hundreds to thousands of dollars. Something to consider with the larger systems is the fact that you are going to need to train management and staff on how to use the system. We offer free staff training with the purchase of any security or alarm system.
One thing that needs to be taken into consideration when you are looking at different security systems is going to be whether or not you would like an on-site security team, or if you are going to choose to go with off-site monitoring. There are many things that need to be taken into account throughout the process in order to ensure that you are able to make a smart decision, and do what is right for your business. On-site security provides a number of advantages, but is going to be several times more expensive.
An on-site private security team is able to conduct foot patrols, and keep a special eye on the blind spots on your campus. However, there are situations in which off-site monitoring through surveillance systems and closed-circuit television systems can be a great way for you to monitor the situation and also ensure that you were going to be able to get the best possible surveillance for your property. A common tactic among thieves is to create distractions for on-site security, and attempt to get into the facility. So while on-site security is still fallible, it usually results in tighter security overall, especially when combined with surveillance.
Loss prevention is an important part for any business, but especially important for businesses that have a large amount of high dollar items. You want to make sure that you are able to limit the opportunity for theft, and prevent losses to the best of your ability. Identifying problem areas of your business, and ensuring that you are able to properly secure those areas is essential for bettering your security. Many businesses conduct a risk reward analysis, which can be an excellent idea for individuals that are not quite certain how much they need to invest, and would like to identify the potential risks for their business.

After five days of intense Dota 2 action, two teams will clash in the ESL One Katowice 2018 Grand Finals for a shot at the $1 million prize pool and a huge chunk of the 1,500 Qualifying Points that will definitely come a long way in helping either one of these two teams secure a direct invite to The International 8.
Virtus Pro came into the tournament with people wondering how well Vladimir ‘RodjER‘ Nikogosyan will fit in with the rest of the team. Judging by their performance so far, which includes lifting their three-year-long losing streak against Evil Geniuses, RodjER is doing just fine. But, fine isn’t just going to cut it against ViCi Gaming; the Chinese powerhouse boasts a 2-0 record against Virtus Pro this season, including a 2-0 sweep of Virtus Pro earlier in the tournament.
Can Virtus Pro take down an opponent they have yet to beat? Or will ViCi Gaming finally hoist a trophy in their fourth Grand Finals appearance in a Pro Circuit tournament?
Claiming the first finalist spot in #ESLOne #Katowice by defeating @TeamLiquid 2-1.
Who knew that the ESL One Katowice 2018 Grand Finals would come to this? Though Virtus Pro remained a powerhouse, they weren’t one of the presumptive favourites heading into the tournament. That distinction belonged to Team Liquid, Team Secret, Newbee and arguably, LGD Gaming. Ditto for ViCi Gaming, who seem to be having none of the hangovers from the Chinese New Year that Newbee and LGD Gaming seem to have suffered from, resulting in their early exits.
Looking at their previous matchups, ViCi Gaming seem to have Virtus Pro’s number, but not in a conventional sort of way. Case in point, 3 out of 4 of their games have gone past the 50-minute mark, which indicates that these teams are very close to each other, and in more than one of those games, Virtus Pro’s early game aggression gave ViCi Gaming fits. Still, that ViCi Gaming were able to win those games isn’t a good sign; it means that they can keep up with Virtus Pro’s pace and stretch the game late if need be.
Ultimately, this is a very close matchup that could go either way. However, with ViCi Gaming’s presumed hunger to win after already making it to the Grand Finals three times this season and the fact that they are the only team to beat the reigning TI champions Team Liquid twice — and at the same tournament at that — we’ll have to give them the slight edge in this matchup.
Just as it looked like Fnatic had fully figured themselves out, Virtus Pro went on to give them a sound beating in the semifinals to move on to the ESL One Katowice 2018 Grand Finals. Though Fnatic are undeniably playing the best they have all season long, they remain very inconsistent and are still prone to beating themselves. Maybe that’s just the life of having Jacky ‘EternaLEnVy‘ Mao on your team.
Either way, a fourth-place finish isn’t half-bad, and yes, we’re assuming they’re going to lose against Team Liquid. The odds are just too great considering that only four teams have beaten the reigning TI champions since the start of the season.
Who do you think will walk out of the ESL One Katowice 2018 Grand Finals as the winners? Will Virtus Pro join OG and Team Secret as the only teams to have ever won two majors? Or will ViCi Gaming propel themselves up in the Pro Circuit leaderboards? Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.

Capital metro is very important much needed piece of infrastructure although controversial especially if you believe the Canberra Times. Canberra has always been designed to have rail and the large wide median strips show this; but this has never happened. Canberra’s reliance on cars needs to be broken to deal with many issues such as growth in population, sustainability and higher fuel prices, (ACT Government, 2012).
The first stage is Gungahlin to civic is controversial option but really this makes sense because currently Northbourne avenue is currently a pressure point for public transport, public transport from civic to Gungahlin doesn’t work, this is because there is no bus priority along Northbourne, (ACT Government, 2014). Options to rectify this are to make the left lane along Northbourne a bus only lane which would congest traffic further or the light rail. One obvious answer the light rail its good for Canberra and needed for the future, (Hass, 2014).
The other thing building capital metro is facilitating is the Northbourne corridor revamp which will completely change Canberra’s image for tourists as they drive in from dilapidated housing commission buildings to nice modern mixed use buildings, more people and more vibrancy, (ACT Government, Land Development Agency, 2014) .

We are in love with begonias. We always want more! Their ability to flower in full shade is remarkable and once they start they never seem to stop.
Leaf cuttings are the easiest method of propagating rex begonias.
Remove the stem with a sharp knife and slice the leaf into wedges, each piece with a main vein. You may get several cuttings depending on the size of your leaf.
Dip each piece into hormone rooting powder and shake off the excess. Place each leaf cutting on the surface of a tray of moist seed raising mix. Pin into place with wire.
Give cuttings bright light but no direct sunshine. Check in eight weeks when new plantlets should emerge from the veins and show good root development. Pot up each plant individually.
Stem cuttings are the easiest method of propagating cane begonias.
Select a healthy piece of stem about 10-15cm long.
Place two stem cuttings into a glass of water. Cuttings are held in place with tape.
Wait until roots are growing through the base of the stem. When they reach a few centimetres pot up your rooted cutting into individual pots.
After 6 months plant your new plant into the garden and watch it flower.
