on this earth. We all want them to have long and happy lives. But when we're fearful of the future, what can we do with that? The reason I chose to bring all this up today is because last weekend my husband passed along to me a pretty awesome blog post by Erick Erickson over at RedState.com . This is a political blog, so I was pretty surprised, and very pleased, to see Mr. Erickson's post, "50,000 Feet Looking Down," so blatantly and openly talk about his faith in God and God's view of this whole election. If you'll jump over there and read his post, I think you'll be blessed. To give you a taste, here's a little of what Erick Erickson wrote: "God is sovereign and He is in charge and He will return. That is my hope and my ever present expectation... "When I wake up on Wednesday morning, I'm still going to have my wife. I'm still going to have my kids. I'm still going to have my family. And I'm still going to have my God. So will you." I would add: You are still going to have your grandkids, too. And regardless of what happens today in this election, what you do here on this earth matters -- no matter how much time we have left. Spending time with your grandchildren matters. Loving them matters. Praying for them matters. Working toward a moment to lead them to faith in Jesus Christ really matters. Training

doctrine and discipline, and in advice to them, which might have the greater weight with them; see Acts 18:17 . Paul, {1} called to be an {2} apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and {3} Sosthenes our brother, (1) The inscription of the epistle, in which he mainly tries to procure the good will of the Corinthians towards him, yet nonetheless in such a way that he always lets them know that he is the servant of God and not of men. (2) If he is an apostle, then he must be heard, even though he sometimes sharply reprehends them, seeing he has not his own cause in hand, but is a messenger that brings the commandments of Christ. (3) He has Sosthenes with himself, that this doctrine might be confirmed by two witnesses. Greetings to the Church. Thanksgiving for the Grace of God. An Exhortation to Unity. Schisms Rebuked. The Sin of Honoring Human Leaders Instead of Christ. The Preaching of the Cross the Power of God to Salvation. Not the Worldly Wise and Proud, but the Humble and Lowly. Converted. Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. Some of the Judaizing teachers, who had visited the church at Corinth after the departure of Paul, in order to lessen his authority, had asserted that he was not an apostle, divinely called like the Twelve. Hence, at the beginning, he asserts his apostleship, and refers to his divine call. See 1Co 9:1 2Co 12:12. Sosthenes,

took time and the maturing of her discerning obedience to God to transform what was originally intended as a charitable lay association into a classic religious congregation. (Catherine's motto was "Fiat Voluntas Tua". In 1825 Fr Nugent died of typhus and Catherine nursed him in his last illness. In 1824, Catherine on the advice of her friend and advisor Fr. Edward Armstrong, with the concurrence of Archbishop Murray and the support of Dr Blake, purchased a plot of ground on Baggot Street. She showed great prudence in building rather than buying a house which she intended "for the glory of God and dedicated it to him from its very foundations". (Dr Blake laid the foundation stone of this house before he left Ireland to re- open the Irish College in Rome as the Penal Laws in Ireland began to abate). In her dealings with the clergy she was profoundly respectful even when their behaviour caused extreme inconvenience for others and actually deprived children of the Holy Sacraments. She felt resentment and extreme agitation yet she persisted towards an arrangement that would be consistent with both justice and charity. Catherine - A Pioneer of Mercy Mercy was the motivating power underlying Catherine's love. It was not philanthropy or human solidarity because it was directed towards the weakest. Neither was it to preserve their Catholic faith nor to win back souls fallen into Anglicanism or Protestantism because for Catherine there was no difference between Catholic and Protestant when it came to helping,

fee schedule, which is for the few organizations who have obtained IP resources without membership. The financial status for year to date 30 June, which is effectively six months, we had a reported surplus of AUD 1.4 million on revenue of AUD 7.4 million. 7.4 minus 1.4 is an expenditure of AUD 6 million. As you can see, the surplus there is quite high. In some cases, there is a little bit of timing differences, where we end up with more revenue being accrued or more expenses being expensed in the first six months, so we don't expect the surplus to be that high at the end of the year. Key membership stats, there were 242 Members in the first half of 2011, up significantly, giving APNIC a total of 2,763 Members at 30 June. You can see there is a good increase in membership numbers. The forecast surplus for the full year should be close to AUD 1 million, on forecast revenues of AUD 15 million, which is 4.5 per cent ahead of the budget the EC adopted. That is again due to membership growth.Our forecast expenditure will be AUD 14 million, which is 1 per cent below our budget of AUD 4.2 million. So Paul and the team and Richard and the team have been doing a great job of keeping expenses under control.In the first column, the budget, we expected to have a AUD 200,000 surplus for the year 2011.

me on your scales, your scales of light. I'll never dread the bread of our love's communion for in that exchange, that fleshy union you give me the eye of the eye of the eye of your sight. Monday, 25 June 2012 Sometimes it seems that there is so little of the world left - how could we have done it? The world is not TV or radio or newspapers - it is bullet-holed skulls, labourers' cracked hands, the milky skin of virgins, the gnashed teeth of murderers, the quiet rapture of two lovers in a candle-haloed room. So answer me, how could we have done this? And where has the time gone? And when will the time come? And why did Nick Drake die at 26 a virgin? And why is love always only emerging, when it should be right here bursting from the two of us. for ever? The universe is for ever life is for ever, but we are the brief arrangements of cells. I look upon you in absolute wonder, Auden's words ringing in my ears: lay your sleeping head, my love, entirely the human, upon my faithless arm, and Armitage can cleave it from the joint or seam if that's what love means, carry a gun, signal the alarm. You are a miracle, life is fantastical, and I want to celebrate in it with you before the clock runs your beauty down to the wind.

can be a great way to share your insights and lift the spirits of others. 2. Don't go on a personal rant. You wouldn't go to a party if you weren't feeling social. Likewise don't go on to social media if you only want to complain. Personal rants only leave you looking dramatic. It's likely you'll end up regretting what you have exposed. 3. Pointing out what's wrong doesn't make you better. No one ever wins by pointing out the flaws in others. This applies to business as well. Attacking competitors is unprofessional and doesn't attach a positive image to your brand. Keep digital footprints grounded in a positive stance. Cheers!

Almost Like Being in Love Lyrics TOMMY: Maybe the sun gave me the pow'r, For I could swim Loch Lomond and be home in half an hour. Maybe the air gave me the drive, For I'm all aglow and alive. What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love! There's a smile on my face for the whole human race! Why, it's almost like being in love! All the music of life seems to be like a bell that is ringing for me! And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to peal, I could swear I was falling, I would swear I was falling, It's almost like being in love. When we walked up the brae, FIONA: Not a word did we say, It was...almost like bein' in love. But your arm link'd in mine made the world kind o' fine.

as cap-n-trade is pretty much dead, which means energy prices will stay low. So the "green jobs" thing is just a bunch of pork. Nothing more. Ultimately, not much so-called "green" energy will be produced, but it will take a few years for people to realize that it was just money down a hole. To really test the concept, you'd have to really subject people to the high cost of green energy, and allow them to experience the economic impact of that, with the broad-scale job losses caused by energy prices across the economy. But there's a key distinction between jobs-as-pork and jobs-as-efficiency-reductions. The Democrats know perfectly well that raising energy prices would hurt the economy and be death politically. But they are happy to shovel pork. But the progressives really believe that if you tax the shit out of everything but green energy, you can actually create jobs by forcing people to buy from those more expensive sources. Progressive are generally incapable of seeing the secondary economic effects of raising consumer prices. It's the same thing with trade barriers. They think that buying "locally" improves the economy, when what it actually does is suck resources out of your wallet, so you have less to spend on other things. This is an interesting article which I recommended to my friends. I do not agree with all of it, but it certainly caused me to question some of my own conceptions. I recently subscribed to "Reason."

Don't you have studies or research to back it up? BRUCE BILLSON: Ah no, you're getting a little confused about who's implementing the carbon tax, Timothy. It's actually the Government's carbon tax and they're the ones that have failed to do any research? TIMOTHY MCDONALD: Yeah, but you're the one making the claim that it's going to go right through the chain. BRUCE BILLSON: Well, if you'd let me answer your question, Sir, rather than just prattle on I can point you quite simply to the correspondence that's being received by small business from their suppliers. TIMOTHY MCDONALD: For big business at least it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. Woolworths says there won't be price hikes when the carbon tax begins to bite.

an actual sentence here fuck you" and quit. posted by egypturnash at 4:42 PM on January 3 Okay, ya'll, a bit of advice: it's very, very often the case that how people think they pronounce words is not actually how they pronounce them. And how they hear other people pronouncing words is not how other people are actually pronouncing them. And orthography has a subtle but real affect on how people believe themselves to pronounce words, independently of how they actually do. This is good advice. Worcester: They are saying WOO-stah, (oo like rough or was), but it sounds kind of like wistah. In "Mr. Johnson is from Worcester," mister and worcester wouldn't be identical. Actually, they are saying Wor'ster, but the non-rhotic R becomes nearly silent. Query: I have always heard it queer-y, but not quite as dipthongy. Queer has a bit of a kwee-er dipthong to it (like "ear"), and I've never heard it pronounced that way in query. Sounds more like kwir-ee, where the ir is like irritate or irrational. Flower/flour: It's the strength of the dipthong. Flower is more like FLOW-wer (ow like now or wow), and flour would be closer to FLAR (like jar or far). Sort of how "hour" and "our" can be pronounced slightly differently. ("Ar train leaves in an ow-er.") My sociology professor in college enjoyed demonstrating to our Midwestern tin ears that "Mary", "merry" and "marry" could indeed sound different. It was "MAY-ree", "murray" and "mah-ree", if memory serves. Let's not

Thus, the person who fails to acknowledge God knows the truth of His existence, but refuses to accept it. This teaching leads to a couple of different conclusions. First, the Bible teaches that contrary to Prof. Drange's assertion, even the implanting of belief of the propositions of Set P does not necessarily lead to Situation S. The Bible teaches that God has written the knowledge of the truth of God in our hearts (Romans 1:18-20; Romans 2:14-15), so God has, in fact, done the very thing that Prof. Drange contends God ought to have done. Second, the verses show that God has given people the "free will" to "suppress the truth by their wickedness." (Romans 1:18) People, knowing the truth about God clearly, "neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him . . . ." (Romans 1:21) If it is the people who choose to ignore the obvious truth of God and suppress it, isn't that a clear, undeniable statement that people can choose against following God? Thus, I contend that Romans 1 and 2 not only confirms that the Free Will Defense is valid, but it shows that even with the direct implantation of the truth into each person (one of Prof. Drange's proposed solutions that God could have used to have people accept Set P), some (even many) reject the truth through their free will. But what about the skeptic who contends that God's existence is not "clearly seen"? Such people argue that they do not

bakeries and specialty shops, and points of interest. Your list was an asset. Gardenia's kitchen was well-equipped, which made breakfast and an occasional dinner easily executed. The bathroom was spacious, and the wardrobe provided more than ample clothing storage. The views from the windows, with the lovely geranium-planted flower boxes, gave us a glimpse into Parisian life. We even enjoyed participating in your recycling program, which we've become more mindful of back here at home. The bedroom was quiet, with a minimum of vehicular traffic, and the drapes blocked the light. The linens on the beds were quality. The living room was understated elegance and very inviting. We brought movies from home, which didn't play on the DVD player, but you directed us to a movie shop nearby, and that issue was quickly resolved. And we enjoyed playing our CDs on your player.

flu again, SARS, the human form of mad cow disease, and many more such scares. Every single one proved exaggerated -- greatly, vastly so. To add insult to injury, when each scare fails to materialise, officials close ranks and congratulate themselves on averting it. The latest example is Britain's insulting official review of the swine flu fiasco, as described by Michael Fitzpatrick in Spiked: I am on holiday in the Idaho Rockies, in a house on the edge of what is in winter a fancy ski resort, the streets of which are clogged with sports cars, massive SUVs and even the odd Hummer. The shops offer all the extravagances a pampered plutocrat needs: from pet grooming to art galleries. Sent to buy bagels, I was faced with a bewildering ten different kinds. Sounds like I am complaining? Read on. From the patio of our house can be seen a constant procession of wonderful (and remarkably tame) birds, attracted by the effect of the the suburb's sprinklers in the usually dry landscape. Squirrels come to the trees; garter snakes to the wall; butterflies to the flowers. In the crystal stream at the bottom of the hill, wild rainbow trout rise to caddis flies and dippers, martins and sandpipers snack on huge stoneflies. In the woods along the valley are moose droppings and signs of the occasional black bear.

All of you techies who pontificate about UAC being good for the average joe computer user don't have a clue. It is a nightmare for Joe Computer User who doesn't have a techie perched on his shoulder. There is no one on the planet who benefits from UAC except the MS beholden techies who get to charge for comforting the non-techies who are tangled up in its jungle. If you want Joe Computer User to start liking Vista, you better help him shut off UAC forever. Thanks, Geek, for posting this path out of the jungle.

Influences would be Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance type stuff. Take a listen on my page and if you like e-mail or add me to MSN. Note: My production skills suck, and my singing has improved a bit since then too. Hi im Franki. I am a professional actress and singer, and am looking for an attractive female or male to start a Duo for regular gigging. Not sure whether it will be for covers, or own music, or a bit of both.

leaders and representative institutions, yet the Islamic world is still seeking to restore its representative of an order which had lasted for 1300 years, and it feels the pain of this void deeply. I would like to mention the explanation that Imam Bediuzzaman made about the tragic end that the Ottomans experienced, because of its importance: In a veracious dream that came to me during the fifth year of the First World War, the following question was put to me: "What is the reason for this hunger, financial loss, and physical trial that now afflicts the Muslims'?" I replied in the dream: "From the wealth He bestows upon us, Allah Almighty required from us either a tenth or a fortieth so that we may benefit from the grateful prayers of the poor, and so that rancour and envy may be prevented. But in our greed and covetousness we refused to give zakat, and Allah Almighty has taken from us a thirtieth where a fortieth was owed, and an eighth where a tenth was owed. "He required of us to undergo, for no more than one month each year, a hunger with seventy beneficial purposes. But we took pity on our instinctual souls, and did not undergo that temporary pleasurable hunger. Allah Almighty then punished us by compelling us to fast for five years, with a hunger replete with seventy kinds of misfortune. "He also required of us, out of each period of twenty-four hours, one hour to be spent in

There are three little words that can always put a smile on my face: Gail Gaymer Martin. Sometimes it can take a few books for me to become a fan of an author, but that was not the case with Gail. I became a fan right away and that has not changed. A Dream of His Own is the third and final book in the Dreams Come True Series. Each book in this series deals with a child who has an illness and his or her parent finding true love again. I loved the theme of this series because we all have dreams and very often we don't have the faith or trust to believe that God wants those dreams to come true for us. That was certainly the case for Quinn and Ava and Ava's teenaged son, Brandon who was battling Hodgkin's. These are three very lovable people who need each other more than they realize and each has their own issues that keeps people at an arm's length.

enslavement. We are bad animals Richard. Even among the original paleos. The theory is that human sapiens eliminated neanderthal man in the very first act of ethnic cleansing. So imagining a hunter gatherer idyll is a bit naive. Yet should we take care of ourselves physically and not eat twinkies? You bet. Congratulations on the book deal though. Despite what I perceive as fallacy in your historical analysis, your practical recommendations will do many people a world of good. The hypothesis that humans wiped out neanderthal is pretty much without any evidence. It made sense in the context of the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries. There is more evidence that we made love not war with the neanderthal. Anthropological books are not hard to find but can be pricey, even in very hard conditions hunter gatherers tend to get on better than agricultural peoples. Enslavement (unheard of), theft and rape occur in far, far lower incidences and murder rates are also lower than agricultural peoples. Indeed while murder rates are often reported as high among hunter gatherers "similar to new york city" we have to remember that most hunter gatherers have virtually no health care and use really dangerous weapons. "manslaughter""attempted murder" and even "GBH" are all likely to be murder in a foraging society. Life probably wasn't idyllic and a foraging lifestyle is not proof against terrible violence (Mesolithic Scandinavia) but war, enslavement theft and other problems really got going in an endemic and widespread manner

"Bill Foster is an Obama Democrat." Is that a fair thing to say? B.F.: Yeah, I think that's fair to say. On most issues I find myself fairly well aligned with the president. There are all sorts of policy details on which we differ. In broad terms, I think it's difficult to characterize me as being left or right of what he's trying to accomplish. Q: One of the real tensions for a place like Fermilab, the United States' sole particle physics lab, is that the type of research that scientists do there is not really seen as a priority within this administration, which has strongly emphasized research more directly connected to clean energy technology. Do you break with the administration and say, "No, no I'm going to advocate for Fermilab?" Is this an area of tension between you and the administration? B.F.: Well, there are two things. One of your duties as a representative of an area is to advocate for the facilities there. The other thing is to guide the facilities on a path toward success, in the field of political realities. Both of those are very important. It does no good to encourage labs in and around your district to go down paths that are destined for failure. So teamwork is essential. Q: But Fermilab needs a major new project. And they're working very hard to get the $789 million Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment in the next decade.

of environment where we can experience ubiquitous access to the internet that will in turn support the things we do as confident, capable, life-long learners. Hi Derek I couldn't agree more in terms of the need for wireless access in particular. This is the means by which the world can get to our students and our students can become resources to the world once they have broadband in place. Interestingly I wonder if some our biggest schools are the ones who have underestimated this the most because they have been most constrained by access. Regardless there have been some interesting decisions about this over the past few years even within the same budget area of ICT or e-learning. Schools who have invested in servers, workstations, Interactive whiteboards over networks. Some of the change needs to be a repositioing of spending with funds already allocated to ICT. It is our leaders that need to future focus and for our leading learners to show them what that might look like. The lack of provision is also an indicator of perception and percieved value. At ISTE in San Diego one thing I noted was the need to become more sophisticated and ambitous for student capability. A standards focus is a focus on the floor rather than the ceiling and means that we can get by without giving our students the access and the challenge to create their own relevancy.

of things to cover during your discussion: list of bank accounts to combine ow much is "too much" to spend without consulting the other partner mock budget why you really want to combine -- is it a good reason? bank account buffers cash vs. credit vs. debit spending combining all or just some accounts? A couple words of caution: For one, do not combine finances after your first and only money talk. This decision should come after a long time (years) of developing trust and having open conversations about finances. Secondly, and very importantly, remember that married couples can lean on the legal system to separate their finances in the event of a divorce; unmarried couples don't (usually) have a legal system to separate their finances if they separate. In other words, if you're not married, put all your money into a joint account, and your partner dumps you and drains the account, you could be both heartbroken and broke. So if you do combine finances before marriage: Don't combine everything! Leave some accounts separate. Create a simple contract that outlines what savings accounts and investments belong to each other (and what will be divided 50/50) before you actually combine any money. It may or may not help you legally recover funds in the event of a nasty breakup, but it's better than nothing. Is it okay to keep financial secrets? No! Okay, sorry, that was my gut reaction. In my very humble opinion, I think you should put everything

voice of their Lord, and eating together from the bread that keeps multiplying as it is shared. When we remember that, we may be able to say, "I love the Church, and I am glad to belong to it." Loving the Church is our sacred duty. Without a true love for the Church, we cannot live in it in joy and peace. And without a true love for the Church, we cannot call people to it. MEETING CHRIST IN THE CHURCH Loving the Church does not require romantic emotions. It requires the will to see the living Christ among his people and to love them as we want to love Christ himself. This is true not only for the "little" people - the poor, the oppressed, the forgotten - but also for the "big" people who exercise authority in the Church. To love the Church means to be willing to meet Jesus wherever we go in the Church. This love doesn't mean agreeing with or approving of everyone's ideas or behavior. On the contrary, it can call us to confront those who hide Christ from us. But whether we confront or affirm, criticize or praise, we can only become fruitful when our words and actions come from hearts that love the Church. THE AUTHORITY OF COMPASSION The Church often wounds us deeply. People with religious authority often wound us by their words, attitudes, and demands. Precisely because our religion brings us in touch with the questions of life and death,

How to Make a Blog Button Many people have asked me how to make their own blog button. This is the mother of all blog button tutorials (well, at least it felt that way when making it!!). Stick with me. Update: Before you embark on your blog button-making journey, I highly recommend you read my two blog button tips . These are two things I learned when making my own blog button. This time I'm going to show you how to make a 125px by 125px blog button like this (ahem...pardon my ugly, thrown-together button) : Once you do, you might want others to be able to grab your button and put it on their own site, in which case you'll need a grab box along with your button like this: A visitor would simply copy the code in the grab box, paste it into their own site and your button would show up there! In order to do it you need to: Create an image 125px by 125px (which will be the button itself). Upload your image to your server. Create the code others will copy & paste to grab your button. Display your button & grab box on your own site (ready to be grabbed by others). 1. Create an image 125px by 125px (2 options) Blog buttons are typically 125px by 125px square. To create your button, you can use either an existing image as your base, or you can start one from scratch. Option A: To

why he was famous... Q: I'm a crazy obsessed fan and have listened to just about all the bootlegs and read all the interviews...Despite "not being into" the music on 'Angel Dust' (so it is written in places), you played flawlessly all of 92-93 and I even caught you banging your head enthusiastically during the Phoenix Festival. Also, while others were bad-mouthing you, you always played it off with a joke and came off as the bigger person (you were hilarious in the Maida Vale interviews!)...something doesn't add up. Were you really that unhappy? If so, how do you keep such a cool head and stay so professional? A: Thank you for the great compliment. My publicized "not being into" 'Angel Dust' was all about the way the whole process went down. There was a lot of weird pressure to follow up 'The Real Thing,' and as a consequence, the album AD was more contrived musically than I thought was necessary. I wanted more of the record to happen in the studio and Bill wanted every last tack nailed down before we went in. I wanted to spend time with it, management and the record company wanted to rush it out the door. There were a bunch of journalists in the studio. We were paying for a bunch of sampling that we could have created. Matt Wallace was calling me on the phone complaining about Mike Patton's performance.

of Shawwal and keep fasting up to the 7th. However, if they are kept on other days, it is hoped that the requirement of the above hadith will also be fulfilled. Note: The method of Eid prayer described above is according to the Hanafi school of Muslim jurisprudence. Other jurists, like Imam Shafi'i, prescribe slightly different methods. They perform takbir twelve times before beginning the Qur'anic recitations in both raka'ahs. This method is also permissible. If the imam, being Shafi'i, follows this method, one may also follow him as both methods are based on the practice of the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace. RELATED: The meaning and fiqh of Eid The Companion Anas (Allah be pleased with him) said, "The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) migrated to the city of Medina and saw the people celebrating two days of festivities. He said, 'What are these two days?' The people of Medina replied, 'They were days of festivities in the pre-Islamic era (jahaliyya).' Then he said, 'Verily Allah has replaced these two days with (what) is better for you -- the day of Adha and the day of Fitr.'" [Abu Dawud] After much reflection upon the meanings and actions surrounding Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the depth of the Prophet's words befit a striking reality. These two days are not 'holidays' in the sense that Muslims take the 'day off' from worship, but they serve as yet another opportunity for the believer to excel in

He also complained about Wikipedia's lack of "persuasive analysis and interpretations, and clear and engaging prose". [ 36 ] Wikipedia's policies on original research , including unpublished synthesis of published data , disallow new analysis and interpretation not found in reliable sources. A web-based survey conducted from December 2005 to May 2006 by Larry Press, a professor of Information Systems at California State University at Dominguez Hills , assessed the "accuracy and completeness of Wikipedia articles".

Of the fifty, seventy-six percent (76%) agreed or strongly agreed that the Wikipedia article was accurate, and forty-six percent (46%) agreed or strongly agreed that it was complete. Eighteen people compared the article they reviewed to the article on the same topic in the Encyclopædia Britannica . Opinions on accuracy were almost equal between the two encyclopedias (6 favoring Britannica, 7 favoring Wikipedia, 5 stating they were equal), and eleven of the eighteen (61%) found Wikipedia somewhat or substantially more complete, compared to seven of the eighteen (39%) for Britannica.

the steel mills in Ontario and Ontario Hydro have found it advantageous to import most of their coal from nearby mines in the US. The 2 major railways that carry western coals to Pacific tidewater also carry potash, sulphur, grain, petrochemicals and forest products. Huge capital investments are being made to increase rail capacity, thus enabling the railways to meet projected offshore demand for these products. Environmental Impact The production and use of coal can create certain environmental problems. In Canada, environmental protection is addressed at all stages of coal production. Environmental assessments are an integral part of provinces' process of approving new mining operations. Activities associated with coal mining, such as the removal of vegetation, relocation of overburden, construction of roads, blasting and reclamation of previously mined areas are carried out to minimize any negative effect on the ENVIRONMENT . Several Canadian coal mining companies have been recognized for their successful environmental mine management programs. In Canada, only relatively small areas in the West are being disturbed at any one time for the purpose of coal mining. Land disturbed annually by operating mines includes 182 ha in mountainous regions of BC, 174 ha in Alberta, and 130 ha in plains areas of Saskatchewan. Using technology now available, coal can be mined, transported and used in most parts of the world in conformity with high standards of health, safety and environmental protection without unacceptable increases in cost. At the coal utilization stage, air emissions are a concern ( see AIR

Lombard four may face civil claim A decision whether to proceed with civil claims against Lombard Finance's four directors will be made soon, receiver John Fisk says. The directors, chairman Sir Douglas Graham and fellow former justice minister Bill Jeffries along with Lawrence Bryant and chief executive Michael Reeves, were found guilty last month of making misleading statements in documents seeking money from the public. In the High Court at Wellington on Wednesday, all were spared jail and sentenced to long periods of community work. Graham and Bryant were also ordered to make $100,000 in reparations. But the court case would have already been a costly process for the directors. Sources in the financial industry suggest they would have spent at least $200,000 each on their defence. The Justice Ministry said none of the offenders had received legal aid to help fund their defence. Fisk said the criminal trial had helped to identify the key issues for any civil claim.

He bears no part in the Epistle itself, the apostle in the very next verses (1Co 1:4, &c.) using the first person: so Timothy is introduced, 2Co 1:1. The bearers of the Epistle were probably Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus (see the subscription, 1Co 16:24), whom he mentions (1Co 16:17, 18) as with him then, but who he implies are about to return back to Corinth; and therefore he commends them to the regard of the Corinthians.

Thus Paul's call as "an apostle by the will of God," while constituting the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church (compare Ga 1:1), is a reason for humility on his own part (1Co 15:8, 10) [Bengel]. In assuming the ministerial office a man should see he does so not of his own impulse, but by the will of God (Jer 23:21); Paul if left to his own will would never have been an apostle (Ro 9:16).

in states that had abolished the death penalty. "I guess it's a question of whether they go after state accredited dispenseries for openly flouting federal law?" That's exactly what they are doing in California. "How many federal marijuana prosecutions are there really?" I'm curious about this too. The only statistics I've found so far are from 8 years ago, and they said about 25% of people in prison on marijuana charges were in federal prison. I realize that's not quite the same question. In Claifornia it isn't the actual prosecutions that are the problem; it's law-enforcement harrassment of the landlords of the pot dispensaries.

Appoint people to the relevant positions who have no intention of enforcing federal drug policy in those states all while publicly claiming to do no such thing. But he doesn't appoint at that level. He just appoints the attorney general. As important as this issue is, it's very far from being the only important constraint on who would make a good attorney general, and maybe the perfect person doesn't exist. This is true, but witless chum didn't propose that the feds focus their resources better.

Delicious Body A beautiful pair of feet, our way of grounding to our earth, of carrying us on this life's journey ... amazing calves, spunky knees and lovely thighs that run + jump + stretch + stride a beautiful butt, a saucy stomach and (if you are a gorgeous one of the feminine species) a magnificent set of boobalicious breasts. Add to this a set of arms to hold + carry + snuggle A stunning swan like neck and a gorgeous, sunny-smiling face, full of love eyes, a crown full of shiny hair. When is the last time you thought of yourself like that honey? Coz the thing is your body is not some disconnected, somehow separate part of you. It's one third of the perfect trilogy of your mind + your body + your soul. Let's for a moment pretend that your body is an animal, a wild beast (coz it really is babe). Now this wild beast has needs + wants + desires + drives. No matter how refined you are. No matter how rich. No matter how large, small or in between. No matter how deserving you feel. Your body needs to be loved. She needs to be cherished. You need to give her what she really needs, what she really craves. And she's always listening honey. Always. Shes listening when you smash out fifty more reps because you ate a bite of cake, or make yourself run or swim or climb, even when she really craves

an entertainer's best friend in that the batter can be made well in advance and, if necessary, the crepes themselves can be made in advance and reheated. If you want them fresh, it takes but a minute or two to cook a crepe, and it makes great kitchen theater, especially if you master the technique of flipping the crepe. I suspect the must useful chapter may be the one on eggs. Knowing ones way around egg cookery will take you a goodly distance toward being able to prepare really great dishes from standard pantry. I find that an author's discussion of how to make an omelette is often a good test of the quality of their book as a whole. I can say that Julia comes through for me by citing an omelette technique I have seen nowhere else. That is, the warning to limit oneself to two eggs when you have only a typical household burner available. As the book is published by Knopf, the layout, editing, and photography are first rate. I was just a little surprised when I could not find 'barbecue' in the index, yet there is clearly a master recipe for barbecue in the chapter on meats. The very best feature of the book is Julia's very familiar voice and attitude which carries you on with reassurances that you can do it and these techniques will do you great service in your life. Very highly recommended. Lots of French recipes and lots of modern appliances

Mad Women is a candid insider's view of the women--and men--who made modern advertising and what drove them. Great reading." -- Bob Liodice, CEO, Association of National Advertisers "Maas's humorous yet authoritative account of her life in advertising during the Mad Men era is a welcome look behind the curtain into a traditionally male world... Maas mixes personal stories with advertising history, making this a compelling read." -- Publishers Weekly "Part respectful homage to a glamorous and golden age, part good gossip over lunch at 21, Mad Women proves that behind every man's career, another successful woman is pedaling even faster to get where she is today." -- BookPage "Don't be misled by the title: this book is far more than an overdue antidote to the fantasy ad world of Mad Men : under the guise of a Madison Avenue memoir, Jane Maas slips in a shrewd and witty first-hand sociocultural history of America in the sixties and the seventies from a woman's point of view. A smart, funny, irreverent woman." -- Bruce McCall, New Yorker writer and cover illustrator "I read Mad Women in one delicious gulp.

the ordinary seamen and boys tailing on, and perhaps the cook, steward, carpenter, and sailmaker lending a hand, and all hands join in a ringing chorus of the ocean, mingling in harmony with the clear sky, indigo-blue waves, and the sea breeze purring aloft among the spars and rigging: "Oh, poor Reuben Ranzo, Ranzo, boys, O Ranzo, Oh, Ranzo was no sailor, Ranzo boys, O Ranzo. So they shipped him aboard a whaler, Ranzo boys, O Ranzo, And he could not do his duty, Ranzo boys, O Ranzo.

"Aye, aye, sir!" And so every sheet, halliard, and brace is swayed up and tautened to the freshening breeze.

the universe, it certainly begins to look like some kind of hub. The connections/links should pass through each other. But (1) how they stack and (2) how big they can get (in terms of diameter) will require some discussion. Every particle in a star has (a) internal connections, but more importantly, (b) has connections to every particle on a nearby planet that is orbiting this star. If, for the sake of discussion, every connection has a diameter of one angstrom, there will certainly be a lot overlapping of links transmitting momentum and gravitational force effects. But lets say we go outside at night and look at the stars. We see the photons from a star 20 million lightyears away. We acknowledge that it's wave front, 40 million lighyears in diameter and an area of 4pi(20 million)^2; as a really big "hub" of bazillions of links; we admire that it lands upon our eyes (1cm^2). It just collapses into our eyes giving the appearance of an "instantaneous" information event. The photon of energy suddenly and instantaneously picked one link to manifest its hf energy. The event makes us start to wonder if there are superluminal events occuring to govern this "wave collapse". As the photon gives some electron a good kick, maybe we can imagine the bazillion of photon links suddenly all snapping in acceptance that the photon has ceased to exist. But what if the connections are really attached to the energy itself? This is where Physics and the Diety

The pictures are all lively and vivid. The story itself was not the best Madeline, but any collector or fan will enjoy it. My little 9 month old sat still for it. The poetry is cute and some lines made me laugh aloud. This is a must own book for sure. As with all the Madeline books, a child, or reader, or traveler actually learns something about some important place in the world. For our young Americans, this is a wonderful opening of the White House doors to the young people.

Unlike the majority of parenting books out there, this one goes beyond just theory and advice, with an actual "toolbox" that arms parents with proven, effective, and respectful tools that REALLY work. I am so grateful to have this book- it's made a difference in the short term and I have no doubt the long-term impact on my girls will be even greater. I now know I'm raising them to be self-reliant, confident people who know how to make good choices.

children, then the ranch hands, if they had any interest in the water that remained. Not a cushy life, but several of the cowboys liked it enough to stay at Lazy B for over 50 years. The self-reliance in the area of first aid is even more striking: Sandra's father successfully mending the uterus of a cow with a wine bottle and some stitches; one of the cowhands giving himself a root canal with red hot baling wire, or taping his broken finger to a nail so he could keep working. And while all of them--Mom,Dad,kids,cowhands--did whatever they had to do to keep working, O'Connor's memories are overwhelmingly happy ones of card games and wild animal pets and riding through the desert and, more than anything else, conversations. One gets the impression that no one ever had a better childhood. O'Connor may or may not be a great justice--I don't know much about the law--but it seems to me that she was a part of something great long before she ever got a law degree. A happy family and a solvent ranch are two things which are hard to maintain for more than a dozen years. The Days did it for a dozen plus a year and a century. Looking at the picture on page 257, I see the very bedrock of the country.

Is the Journal Module capable to filter the content based on current page/module-content (like a "comment" module) ? @bizcomit : the Journal has the capability to be filtered down to showing specific journal types - this is in the module settings. However, restricting comments to a particular page/module will require posting under a specific journal type - which will require integration with that module. This is what the DNN Blog module has done for 5.0 - which now uses the journal module to display blog comments. I did briefly install that for this blog, but it removes the ability for anonymous posting, which I don't particularly like. Hopefully this is something that is worked around.

entertainment and is great for TV with pumping music, freestylers performing tricks and the cage battles. Players can also play in street wear or in sportswear so you don't have to go out and buy expensive kits to play. Panna is great for developing technically better players, as you have to have control of the ball, make a tackle, shoot and pass and finally try, through ground moves and body movement, to beat your opponent. It is also great for fitness, as there is no respite. To create awareness of the sport and also to raise funds for a proposed Schools Series in 2013, the event arm of Panna, the not for profit Oceania Freestyle Football Federation Inc. will be hosting the Melbourne Panna Corporate Cup on Friday December 7 at the Waterfront Piazza in the Docklands. The event will be using a 'unique' match result system with teams of three battling it out 3v3 in the cage and 1v1 in the cage to get the overall match score. It promises to be an exciting competition which is also being backed by Sports Business Insider and you can find details here. So if by reading this you are inspired to get involved with Panna Football Australia then you are in luck, as I am looking for Business Partners/Sponsors/Investors to get involved and make Panna the next big thing.

There are opportunities in commercial print (not fashion) that doesn't have height requirements, but catalog work is difficult to get. The clothes have to fit perfectly (see requirement measurements above). Flipping through a catalog, you wouldn't know that the person smiling out at you has perfect measurements, a top agent, a portfolio full of work and years of experience. Catalogs also tend to book the same models season after season, so there are not a lot of openings for new faces. Where do I start? Modelling agencies have "open calls": a time each week where a new model can go and see an agent. From this meeting you might be asked to join with this agent. I would recommend seeing several agencies before committing to anyone. If a particular agent isn't interested in representing you they will give you feedback and advice (if asked). Advice from the top agents should usually be listened to. A good agent has nothing to gain by not giving truthful feedback. What is a good plan to follow when looking for an agent? There are really only so many good modelling agents in any city. Go and see them all and go with whoever is the most interested and you have the most rapport with.

In his role as a key member of the speccy Cyrk collective, Gamble has curated or contributed to work by William Bennett, Russell Haswell, EVOL and NHK; his sonic collaborators (digital composer John Wall, artist Yutaka Makino) are from similarly rarified environments, and austere experimental stable entr'acte have handled his solo releases. 2006?s 3? CD 80mm O!I!O let complex digital processes run wild, with chaotic and spastic results. 2009?s oblique Join Extensions , meanwhile, was a tribute to "perpetual configuration, disfiguration and reconfiguration" -- five words which accurately sum up whether the record will be for you or not. Gamble's roots, however, lie in much grubbier soils. The Birmingham native came up DJing on pirate radio stations, and spent his formative years in the mid-1990s as an active participant in the jungle scene. His recorded work is all about process, sonic disfigurement and deliberate abstraction -- but there's raver's blood in those veins. Two major releases on Bill Kouligas' PAN label see Gamble pursuing two different sorts of muse. Forthcoming ten-track LP Dutch Tvashtar Plumes sees Gamble produce a sort of twilight computer music: a gossamer-thin collection of ambient and techno, it's a comparatively accessible step on from the sonic essays found on his previous solo discs.

at a low? And why are regulatory barriers keeping small producers out of the business of food production? And how did we - the constituency, the consumers, the all-powerful "demand" part of the supply-and-demand equation -- ever buy in to the notion that the institutionalization of our food supply is inexorable and must be suffered with stoic cynicism and resignation? And what is there to do about it? The answers to these questions matter, because the ultimate costs of these trends are huge, in terms of food quality, in terms of resource damage, and at many other levels. But the worst damage of all is the loss of whole communities and ways of life ... ways that have worked for centuries. Entrepreneurship - and the freedom to be entrepreneurial - is a huge part of what made this country great, and in the food business, it's in grave danger.

can you not talk about the coaches? During 2012 we saw many of them pack it in. Most of these were clearly forced out because of their teams' poor performance. But none other could have been worth talking about as much as when the embattled Eels coach, Steve Kearney , stepped down after just nine wins in two years. Shortly before Kearney exiting the scene, the Eels were paraded in front of their fans to face the humiliation of having to explain their poor performance. Has anybody ever heard that they are not there to be public speakers? They are there to play rugby -- something they did very well after Kearney left. He promised the fans a turn-around but could not deliver. Or was resigning his way of turning around the club? Well, it worked. With nothing to lose, the interim coach, Brad Arthur , gave the players the freedom to go out there and just play their hearts out. And they did! They won 3 of their next 4 matches -- as many as they had won in their first 17! It was thrilling to see these guys finally play the game they were meant to since day one, with Hindmarsh and friends finally being able to show off their talent. We certainly hope that their new coach, Ricky Stuart , can build on this. We will never forget the brilliance of Ben Barba. Even people who do not go for the Bulldogs have been thrilled by this

one day I just decided to take my digital camera, and filmed my first tutorial! Is filming tutorials and such as nerve-racking as it looks, or are you just a natural? Definitely nerve-racking at first; I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into. I didn't even think anyone would see my videos. Back in 2007, the YouTube Beauty Community was nowhere near as popular and as demanding as it is today. In person, I am known to be shy at first but once I started to receive my first comments on my videos, that gave me the push that I needed to be more comfortable with presenting myself online. It definitely didn't come naturally at first, but as the saying goes, "practice makes perfect". I am by no means anywhere near perfection, I'll fill you in on a little fact though: sometimes it takes me 100 times to say what I want to say! Thank God for editing! I am definitely more confident in myself than I have ever been on a personal level and I can thank YouTube for that! If you could meet any famous YouTuber, who would it be and why? Hmm. Gosh there are so many I would love to meet! Over my time online, I have definitely made some online friends within the YouTube Beauty Community.

It may not be the best job in the world but think about this if cold-calling didn't work then companies wouldn't spend millions of pounds every year doing it. So may be the clever people are the ones that actually listen and not the people thinking up inefficient (and admittedly funny) ways of dealing with them. If you do not want to be cold-called don't give your telephone number, if you do receive a call you do not want ask the company calling you to provide you with the information as to where they got your details. It will probably be data collection company, then contact them and ask them to remove your details.

you and Nathan are smaller than some of your competition. Is there something in your style or technique that you may do a bit differently to adapt? JS: Yes, definitely. We row a bit shorter than most crews and we can rate a lot higher which is a benefit for us as we have the opportunity to change speed more quickly than other teams. I heard that at the World Champs we rowed at about 38 [strokes per minute] and then 45 at the end. WR: You have talked about it being hard to break through to the national team because of your height. JS: It's more that they said that I wasn't compatible with other athletes. That other people would struggle to row with me. As a junior I ended up in the single as a reserve for the four.

Is the Idea of brand heritage dead? Kodak -- established in 1892 was the inventor of the digital camera and its predecessor, the original handheld camera. Last year its digital imaging patents were sold off to hold of bankruptcy, and this week it was announced that the firm is to cut 1,000 jobs by the end of the year. Meanwhile Instagram , at just two years old was sold to Facebook for $1bn, which begs the question -- is there still value in brand heritage? Traditionally company heritage was a badge of honour and brand longevity brought connotations of quality and desirability. A recognisable logo is historically a mark of trust, but today it seems this is not enough to sustain high brand equity. Nokia was once the biggest mobile business in the world, but the company's share price has fallen by more than 85% in the last four years and dropped further last week when it failed to announce a release date or pricing for the next generation of its phones. Nokia's fall from grace seemed to coincide with the introduction of Apple 's iPhone, when the brand failed to stay ahead of the competition in terms of innovation. The latest models are seen as a make or break moment for the Finnish firm, which posted a 650m loss in a recent quarterly report. It may be that some global market leaders become complacent and rely on their former glory rather than continuing to push the boundaries of creation

Through it all, they posted a 12-6 record, second only to the Lions?? 13-5. But there was an added element of angst this week with the fallout from Tate??s comments about not remembering the first half during and following Sunday??s win, as well as Lewis??s tweet that referenced Simpson??s gloves that were a crucial piece of evidence in his murder trial for the killing of ex-wife Nicole Simpson. He was acquitted. ??I would never condone violence to anyone, especially women,?_ said Lewis on Thursday (the team said he would not take followup questions to his statement). ??I??ve been close to things like this in the past and I would never condone anything like that.

BUT you cannot "move through your grief" if you don't allow yourself to grieve in the 1st place. And remember when Maddie passed away? Jackie didn't crawl into bed w/you & tell you to be happy and write something happy: she wrapped her arms around you while you cried. She understands grief. As for celebrating her life: every picture & story you've shared has been a celebration of Jackie! and her life. Please, please, be gentle with you. You're the only you we've got!

perceives things differently. To be happy in business you have to stop making assumptions and give people and situations a fighting chance. Always assume the best! And if the worst happens? It happens. Just don't waste precious time and energy inventing dramas or issues that don't exist. Don't dwell on negativity Why are we programmed to remember the bad things people say or do rather than the good? It's in our nature to dwell on negativity but we can change the way we think. If someone attacks, snubs or hurts you, don't spend ages analysing the situation - just learn to move on quickly. Learn any valuable mistakes and then get on with your life. Instead, make sure you remind yourself of all the positive things people say about you and your work. It will help you to stay focused and happy. Never burn bridges In business, there will be many situations when you have to deal with difficult people or clients. Whatever you do, always stay positive and never burn any bridges. The creative industries can be a small pond and you never know when you're going to bump into people again. Have money in the bank Nothing is more stressful than living each month on the edge and being constantly worried about when the next pay cheque will come in. Stop this misery by having a nice cash reserve in a savings account. Plus keep your overheads low and avoid lengthy contracts with expensive things, such as vehicle

Further more, I don't see how these protestors are against corporate greed when you're updating Facebook with your Toshiba Laptop or your iPhone, once you've had a moan, you head off to McDonalds or Starbucks . Anyone see anything somewhat contradictory? Oh yes! You're supporting one of those companies that have corporate greed! The exact thing YOU'RE AGAINST . I'm sure I'm not the only one to make the connection. What's even more funny is the fact people taking their money out of their banks to put in a credit union. Let's just take the time to think that Credit Unions are backed by the big banks so they're able to keep floating. The logic in taking your money out of a bank and putting it into a credit union is zero. Complaints I have first hand seen some of the nonsense Occupy Christchurch has been up to.

NELL SCHOFIELD: I think the fact that I was a surfer gave me a special connection to the story. I started surfing when I was 13 down at Bondi Beach. My friend and I were hanging out watching the guys go out and get all these waves, and we thought why can?t we go out and do the same thing? Because back in those days there were hardly any women surfing at Bondi, some guy from Sea Notes got wind of it and came along and interviewed us for this magazine. It?s quite ironic because underneath the photo it says, ?we?re going to be actresses?. We wanted to be famous, like a lot of young girls. I think the first thing I heard about the film being made was when I got a phone call from the casting agent saying ?would you like to come along and try out for this role? A friend told his mother, who happened to be one of the producers of the film, that they might like to trying me out because I surfed. At that point they?d already cast the other character Sue, the other main character. And she was a young girl, a child of Czechoslovakian parents called Yaranka Capelja, Jad Capelja.

Something strange is happening to our credit card spending habits. We're becoming prudent and sensible. In every other recession since credit cards first started filling our wallets, there has been a sadly predictable turn of events. A significant number of consumers overspend during the good times, and are then overwhelmed by debts when the economy turns down, and job losses mount. What the finance industry calls "delinquencies and impairments" shoot up and personal bankruptcies spiral. But it hasn't happened this time. I met the boss of Barclaycard last week, Val Soranno Keating, dubbed the "Queen of Cards" because she controls an organisation that has 12 million credit card customers. She tells me that, rather than rising dramatically as expected, arrears and defaults have done completely the reverse, and are close to record lows. Instead, a grand substitution is taking place: cinema instead of theatre; fast food instead of restaurants; and public transport rather than cars. The huge rises in gas, electricity and petrol bills are taking their toll. Every time petrol prices surge, consumers cut back in other areas. An interesting relationship now exists between petrol prices and sales of electrical goods, such as TVs and computers. When petrol prices fall, almost exactly three months later consumers feel better off and buy a new flat-screen telly. The reverse happens when petrol prices rise -- which may explain why Comet is on the brink of going bust. Barclaycard says it has seen spending at fast food restaurants rise 27.4% over the

save expenditures on social services later, the situation is slightly different in the developing country context. For the Colombian government, for example, spending money now to prevent homelessness implies future social savings for the population, but not for the government. Second, the success of SIBs depends on the implementation of robust program evaluations. While social programs tend to be cheaper in developing than in developed countries, the opposite is true for robust evaluations. These can be much more expensive in developing countries due to the lack of administrative data. As a result, the implementation of a SIB is relatively more expensive, and therefore not as attractive from a public budget perspective, as it could be in a developed country. A concrete example may come from the initiatives in Peterborough (UK) and New York City aimed at reducing criminal recidivism. While evaluators in the US and the UK can look at local and national databases to identify whether treated and control individuals have ended up back in prison, evaluators in a developing country are more likely to have to periodically follow the individuals to gather the necessary data for impact evaluation. This does not mean that SIBs in developing countries are unattractive, but rather that interested governments must have greater vision if they are to sign on to an SIB project. Interested policymakers must understand and value impact evaluation as part of their long-term plans for improving the population's welfare. 3.

In the very, very earliest few seconds of the big bang, the neutrinos were the dominant particle, and they actually determined much of the kinetics of the production of the elements we know. So, the universe can't exist the way it is without the neutrinos, but they seem to be in their own separate universe, and we're trying to actually make contact with that otherworldly universe of neutrinos. And as a physicist, even though I understand it mathematically and I understand it intellectually, it still hits me in the gut that there is something here around surrounding me almost like some kind of spirit or god that I can't touch, but I can measure it. I can make a measurement. It's like measuring the spirit world or something like that. You can go out and touch these things.

A bit about Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von ... Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 - 22 March 1832), commonly known as "Goethe", was a German poet, novelist, philosopher, and scientist who is considered one of the giants of the literary world. In addition, aside from being lawyer and known also as a dramatist, humanist, theorist, and painter, he is also one of few individuals considered to have been a polymath. For ten years, he was chief minister of state for the duchy of Weimar. In 1782 he was ennobled as 'von Goethe'. In his 1809 masterpiece Elective Affinities, he became one of the first to speculate on the nature of interpersonal chemistry. Goethe was one of the key figures of German literature and the movement of Weimar Classicism in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; this movement coincides with Enlightenment, Sentimentality ("Empfindsamkeit"), Sturm und Drang, and Romanticism. The author of Faust and Theory of Colours, he influenced Darwin with his focus on plant morphology. Goethe's influence spread across Europe, and for the next century his works were a primary source of inspiration in music, drama, poetry, and philosophy. He is widely considered to be one of the most important thinkers in Western culture.

in a hearty keeping of His commandments. When we have this inwardly and outwardly confirmed love to God, we can know assuredly that we truly love the children of God. "Love to one's brother is prior, according to the order of nature (see on [2649]1Jo 4:20); love to God is so, according to the order of grace (1Jo 5:2). At one time the former is more immediately known, at another time the latter, according as the mind is more engaged in human relations or in what concerns the divine honor" [Estius]. John shows what true love is, namely, that which is referred to God as its first object. As previously John urged the effect, so now he urges the cause. For he wishes mutual love to be so cultivated among us, as that God should always be placed first [Calvin]. 5:1-5 True love for the people of God, may be distinguished from natural kindness or party attachments, by its being united with the love of God, and obedience to his commands. The same Holy Spirit that taught the love, will have taught obedience also; and that man cannot truly love the children of God, who, by habit, commits sin or neglects known duty. As God's commands are holy, just, and good rules of liberty and happiness, so those who are born of God and love him, do not count them grievous, but lament that they cannot serve him more perfectly.

substance The requirement is for a review of the assessment. This does not mean that the whole assessment process will have to be repeated at each review. The first purpose of review is to see if the existing assessment is still suitable and sufficient. If it is, then you do not need to do any more. If it appears that the assessment is no longer valid, it does not mean that the whole assessment has to be revised. Only those parts that do not reflect the new situation need amending. Whether or not there is any real change in the situation, there is an absolute requirement to review the situation on a regular basis. Without this, there is a danger that gradual change over a period of time goes unnoticed and the assessment becomes unsuitable and insufficient by default. Some substances are process generated, for example wood dust produced from sawing wood. Employers should regard a substance as hazardous to health if it is hazardous in the form in which it occurs in the work activity. You should find out if there are any health effects associated with working with the hazardous materials identified and look at how workers could be exposed, for example do you use a dry brush to sweep up dust? Use this information to evaluate risks to health and minimise exposure by taking sensible measures, such as using a vacuum cleaner instead of a brush, or keeping lids on containers.

Islamist Revivalist Movement. It is partly a mirror image of the Protestant Christian tradition that a world made entirely Islamic with Jesus as Mohammed's Lieutenant and partly a fantasy of the inevitable return of sacred space, the caliphate that includes most of Spain, parts of France, the entire Middle East right up to the borders of China. As with the Christian scheme, Islam foretells of the destruction or conversion of the Jews. Prophecy belief in Judaism, the original source for both Islamic and Christian eschatologies, is surprisingly weaker. Perhaps a certain irony in the relationship between Jews and their God is unfriendly to an end-time belief these days but it lives on vigorously enough in the Lubavitch Movement and various Israeli settler groups and of course is centrally concerned with divine entitlement to disputed lands. We should add to the mix more recent secular apocalyptic beliefs. The certainty that the world is inevitably doomed through nuclear exchange, viral epidemics, meteorites, population growth or environmental degradation. Where these calamities are posed as mere possibilities in an open-ended future that might be headed off by wise human agency, we cannot consider them as apocalyptic, they are minatory, they are calls to action. But when they are presented as unavoidable outcomes driven by ineluctable forces of history or innate human failings, they share much with their religious counterparts though they do lack the demonising cleansing redemptive aspects and are without the kind of supervision of a supernatural entity that might give benign meaning

even the Obama administration, which is pledging a much stronger policy of engagement with the U.N. Security Council is going to find that there are certain international crises, security crises or humanitarian crises, that are not workable or are not being adequately addressed through the U.N. system. And I think the Obama administration is going to reserve for itself the possibility of operating outside that system. I think it -- On security issues like weapons of mass destruction proliferation, I think the Obama administration internally is going to reserve for itself options that look a lot like the preemption doctrine that the Bush administration articulated.

Obama is currently at 6.62 on intrade, so to "cash in 100 grand" I would have to put up 200 grand. I would have to send it to some people in Ireland, and trust that they're not going to misplace it, or collect it and disappear, or whatever. I just don't have that much trust in whoever owns/runs intrade. (If it was the feds offering T-bills, that would be another story. Or Vanguard. Or Fidelity. Well, maybe not Fidelity!) And my negative utility for losing 200 grand is WAY bigger (in magnitude) than my positive utility for an extra 100 grand. Allan Marlow November 3, 2012 at 9:50 pm Ok, lets finish the argument with this note. If you project 98% and the underlying assumptions have a p% probability of being wrong (prob of polls biased, etc.), then you should report 98% * p as your final result, with the caveat that p could be large. That would be a different story. What I don't like is the degree of intellectual dishonesty in all this.
