In the 15th century, an Italian mathematician invented the idea of a trial balance to check that accounting systems were correctly in place.  We’ve been using this system in the five centuries since. It’s a reliable measure that your accounts are in good order but there are three tell-tale signs that your balance sheet is peaky – and about to be tipped.

The first clue is when your business has so much to do and everyone is so busy that no-one notices you are going into the red. If you are making sales and customers are happy, how can there be a problem?  The answer is of course – easily! Unless someone is keeping an eye on whether you are paid for all those sales invoices and on time – it’s very easy to get in a financial pickle. If there is no-one in your business who is monitoring your financial performance, you can quickly get in a ‘fine mess’ as Oliver Hardy might have said. The solution, of course is to outsource your accounting function and focus on what you are really good at – such as sales.

Clue number two is that the business does not have a strategic plan.  It doesn’t really have proper sales targets or if it does, they are poorly communicated. Staff don’t really understand the order in which they should do things – maybe the business is so busy that vital activities are not prioritised. Basically, the business lacks proper leadership as the leaders are busy doing other things.  The trick is to outsource the things that you can’t cope with – or at least need help with – to give you the time to look at your business in a strategic way and be able to plan the next steps before the problems arise.

The third thing that gives away the idea that things are not good in the finance department is that there is no check on spending.  Items are purchased in a haphazard way, not taking advantage of incentives or bulk-buying or advantageous terms, expenses are not monitored or capped and generally, the business is spending more than it is earning. With outgoings for a new business high in the early stages, this needs to be carefully planned. Again, a good way to keep track of your finance department is to have specialists take over through outsourcing.  You can outsource as much or as little as you like – from just your sales invoices to the whole department.

Trio of Cases Limit Union Activity

Publisher: Day Pitney Employment and Labor Quarterly Update
July 30, 2020

The National Labor Relations Board (Board) has continued to issue pro-employer decisions, including three that curb workplace union activity, such as soliciting other employees, using employer resources, and intimidating employees.

Employee Solicitation

In Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, 369 NLRB No. 91 (May 29, 2020), the Board clarified the definition of "solicitation" for the purpose of implementing and enforcing work rules. Previously, the Board narrowly defined solicitation to apply only where a union authorization card was presented to an employee for signature or where discussion among employees continued for a significant period of time. In Wynn, the Board overruled its prior decisions on workplace solicitation and defined solicitation to include any act of soliciting employees' sentiments to vote for or against a union, regardless of the length of the interaction or the presence of a union authorization card. Under this definition, an employer lawfully can establish work rules that prohibit any discussion during working time, of any duration between employees, to vote for or against union representation. Given this decision, employers should consider updating their no-solicitation/no-distribution policies. Employers must continue to uniformly administer any prohibition of solicitation during work time to avoid unfair labor practice charges, including those related to other matters, such as soliciting colleagues for donations for a local charity or to purchase Girl Scout cookies.

Employer Resources

In T-Mobile USA, 369 NLRB No. 90 (May 27, 2020), the Board further solidified employers' right to prohibit employees from utilizing their resources, including e-mail systems, for non-work-related purposes. The Board's decision in Caesar's Entertainment, 368 NLRB No. 143 (December 16, 2019), held that employers generally have a right to impose non-discriminatory restrictions, and outright bans, on employees' use of employer-owned IT systems for non-work purposes. In T-Mobile, the Board went a step further to find that an employer's new rule, purposefully implemented after an employee attempted to solicit hundreds of employees through the employer's computer and e-mail system, was lawful. Given these decisions, employers should consider modifying their policies to restrict employees' use of their various resources, including but not limited to computers, telephones, and e-mail systems. Again, such rules cannot be enforced in a discriminatory manner, and exceptions may apply where the employer's resource is the only reasonable means for employees to communicate with other employees during the workday.

Employee Intimidation

In Graphic Communications v. Bemis Company, Inc., 369 NLRB No. 97 (June 5, 2020), the Board found that a union had violated the National Labor Relations Act by attempting to retaliate against employees who reported other employees' improper conduct to their employer. Specifically, the Board found that the union threatened employees by posting a memo indicating that it would assess fines against the employees and/or blacklist them from union jobs if they reported fellow union member misconduct and/or participated in employer investigations. The Board also found that the union's attempt to have a particular employee disciplined by the employer for violations of minor work rules because that employee reported misconduct, and participated in the employer's investigation, also violated the National Labor Relations Act. This decision helps to ensure that employers receive reports from employees regarding misconduct in the workplace, and demonstrates the Board's willingness and ability to protect employee rights, whether the infringement stems from employer or union conduct.

No, we are not a satire site. We are not a conspiracy theory site. The information you are about to read is factually accurate and 100% real despite the ostensible ‘skeptics’ who claim otherwise. The controversial subject of geoengineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term “chemtrails” – is once again stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny. And it may soon be a reality as Harvard scientists plan first ever experiment to spray particles in the sky to dim the sun.

What was once a conspiracy theory is now the subject of congressional debate, peer-reviewed studies, and now a Harvard experiment. Harvard scientists will attempt to replicate the climate-cooling effect of volcanic eruptions with a world-first solar geoengineering experiment. The university announced this month that it has created an external advisory panel to examine the potential ethical, environmental and geopolitical impacts of this geoengineering project, which has been developed by the university’s researchers.

According to Nature Magazine, Louise Bedsworth, executive director of the California Strategic Growth Council, a state agency that promotes sustainability and economic prosperity, will lead the Harvard advisory panel, the university said on 29 July. The other seven members include Earth-science researchers and specialists in environmental and climate law and policy.

What was once a conspiracy theory will soon be a reality—any day now.

Known as the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), the experiment will spray calcium carbonate particles high above the earth to mimic the effects of volcanic ash blocking out the sun to produce a cooling effect.

The experiment was announced in Nature magazine last year, who was one of few outlets to look into this unprecedented step toward geoengineering the planet.

If all goes as planned, the Harvard team will be the first in the world to move solar geoengineering out of the lab and into the stratosphere, with a project called the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx). The first phase — a US$3-million test involving two flights of a steerable balloon 20 kilometres above the southwest United States — could launch as early as the first half of 2019. Once in place, the experiment would release small plumes of calcium carbonate, each of around 100 grams, roughly equivalent to the amount found in an average bottle of off-the-shelf antacid. The balloon would then turn around to observe how the particles disperse.

Naturally, the experiment is concerning to many people, including environmental groups, who, according to Nature, say such efforts are a dangerous distraction from addressing the only permanent solution to climate change: reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

The idea of injecting particles into the atmosphere to cool the earth also seems outright futile considering what scientists are trying to mimic—volcanic eruptions. If we look at the second largest eruption of the 20th century, Mount Pinatubo, which erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it injected 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide aerosols into the stratosphere. Scientists from the USGS estimated that this 20 million tons only lowered the temperature of the planet by about 1°F (0.5°C) and this only lasted a year because the particles eventually fell to back to Earth.

The Harvard team, led by scientists Frank Keutsch and David Keith, has been working on the SCoPEx project for several years but they haven’t always been in total agreement. In fact, as Nature reported, Keutsch—who is not a climate scientist—previously thought the idea to be “totally insane.” But he’s since changed his mind. As Nature reports:

When he saw Keith talk about the SCoPEx idea at a conference after starting at Harvard in 2015, he says his initial reaction was that the idea was “totally insane”. Then he decided it was time to engage. “I asked myself, an atmospheric chemist, what can I do?” He joined forces with Keith and Anderson, and has since taken the lead on the experimental work.

Adding to the questionable nature of this experiment is the fact that it is largely funded by none other than Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates. Gates is no stranger to funding controversial experiments as he’s publicly funded many of them including one that would implant devices into babies to automatically give them vaccines.

While the Harvard team’s experiment may sound like something out of a dystopian science fiction movie, the reality is that it has long been on the table of governments and think tanks from around the world. In fact, just last November, a study published in Environmental Research Letters, talked about doing the exact same thing—geoengineering and planes spraying particulates into the atmosphere to curb global warming.

What’s more, that study echoed the sentiments of then-CIA director John Brennan when he addressed the Council on Foreign Relations in 2016, detailing a similar process of spraying chemical particulates in the atmosphere to cool the planet.

At the meeting, Brennan addressed instability and transnational threats to global security at a meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations. During his long-winded talk of threats to US interests and how the largely CIA-created ISIL threat is impacting the world, Brennan brought up the topic of geoengineering.

Another example is the array of technologies—often referred to collectively as geoengineering—that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do.

Brennan went on to echo the calls from some scientists who have called for aerial spraying.

An SAI program could limit global temperature increases, reducing some risks associated with higher temperatures and providing the world economy additional time to transition from fossil fuels. The process is also relatively inexpensive—the National Research Council estimates that a fully deployed SAI program would cost about $10 billion yearly.

Again, this is not some conspiracy theory. Watch him say all of this in the video below starting at the 12:05 marker.

The extent to which Brennan talked about stratospheric aerosol injection shows that he and the CIA have likely been considering this for some time.

Although we are hearing more and more talk about geoengineering, it has been around for a very long time and not just in the realm of conspiracy theories. In fact, scientists have already suggested that it could be going on right now, unintentionally.

Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are suggesting contrails from airplanes may be inadvertently geoengineering the skies.

Chuck Long is a researcher with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory at the University of Colorado in Boulder. At the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in 2015, Long and his team released their paper, “Evidence of Clear-Sky Daylight Whitening: Are we already conducting geoengineering?” The analysis found that vapor from airplanes may be altering the climate through accidental geoengineering.

To be clear, no one here is claiming to be an expert on climate change or the effects of geoengineering. But one thing is clear and it’s the fact that there is still much to be debated and learned before humans deliberately begin altering Earth’s climate. Aside from doing nothing to curb carbon emissions, if we are so quick to jump on this method, it could set off a chain reaction that could prove to be catastrophic.

Please share this article with your friends and family so that they may see what’s being planned for their future.

DASA seeks technology capable of halting a tank

DASA is inviting proposals for innovative methods for halting a tank as part of a new event.

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is hosting a launch event for ‘Stopping it in its Tracks’ – Phase 2. This will take place in London, on the 16 May 2019. They are appealing for existing innovations that can be adapted and used to stop a tracked vehicle including a tank.

DASA has requested for novel approaches to stop or impede tanks and other heavy armoured vehicles while preventing or minimising collateral damage. Approaches do not need to focus on physical barriers but can target mobility, vision, or even the engine.

Dr Adam Staines at DASA said: “We are looking to harness the latest thinking and any advances in engineering, design, materials science, computing and non-kinetic weapons. Whilst the primary focus is defence, we are also interested in technologies that have wider security applications, such as preventing vehicle-related terrorist attacks.”

DASA has already facilitated a range of innovators to develop such technologies on behalf of the Army in a proof-of-concept Phase 1. Four suppliers were funded with technologies ranging from targeting the engine and sensors to deploying wired mesh technology to inhibit the tracks.

Total funding of up to £3 million is available for Phase 2 of this competition from which DASA expects to offer to fund around 5-6 projects. Suppliers do not have to have been in Phase 1 of the competition to take part, and additional funding may be available for future phases of this competition.

To attend the event please register via Eventbrite.

Why the future of warfare is invisible

Writing for Defence Online, Charles White, CEO of Information Risk Management discusses the evolution of cyber security.

Do you remember the first time you heard the term “cyber”? It used to be a thing of the future – a word used in the realms of science fiction that conjured up images of droids and driverless vehicles when it first appeared more than half a century ago. The term “cybersecurity” initially involved rudimentary firewalls and security for programmes on CD-ROMs. How things have changed. Fast forward to today and the term is synonymous with use cases around hacking and dangerous confrontations.

In the world of cybersecurity and defence, the industry is rapidly seeing the convergence of internet technology with operational technology. Manufacturers, businesses and the armed forces globally are harnessing the benefits of rapid automation to improve productivity and defence. By enabling devices and the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the defence industry has harnessed the power of connectivity to massively increase functionality and make improvements to almost every facet of defence strategy.

Planes, drones and submarines

Innovations in hardware and software, along with artificial intelligence (AI), have paved the way for the development of powerful technology-driven tools such as the dramatic advancements in drone technology. Airborne military drones have helped nations gain aerial intelligence while fully autonomous underwater submersibles laden with sophisticated systems have delivered cargo to naval crews.

Modern weapons contain highly advanced computer systems to enable their functionality and to make them more automated, easier to control, more accurate and more effective for operational requirements. However as new devices and technologies come online and are adopted by the military establishment, they are subjected to cyber threats alongside traditional physical security threats. This new invisible form of warfare has already commenced.

As recent as last month, the world witnessed this in full effect when the United States launched a cyberattack on Iranian weapon systems. There have been reports of previous cyber incursions, but this was widely seen as a game-changer. A nation state was actively looking to exploit vulnerabilities in military equipment and where warfare could increasingly look like a loss of connectivity — rather than a loss of life.

Now you see me…

Cyberattacks are now seen in the same light as acts of war and have driven the need to create cyber units in the military, such as the UK’s Joint Cyber Reserve Force. Indeed, this was the first offensive show of force since the U.S. Cyber Command, part of the U.S. Department of Defense, was elevated to a full combatant command in May this year after being given new authority by President Trump.

The offensive cyber-strike that disabled Iranian computer systems were used to control rocket and missile launches. This is a real example of how the military has adapted to technological advances, underscoring the essential need for armed forces to develop robust cyber offensive and defensive capabilities as part of their arsenal.

There are other high-profile examples of where cyberattacks may be considered an act of war, and this is currently an area of great debate. The Stuxnet code was almost certainly created by a nation state and was touted by many as the first cyber weapon. It was written with the sole purpose of disrupting a uranium enrichment programme.

To withstand these variants of attacks, every facet of the military now needs to ensure that the tools and techniques at their disposal are designed and built with cybersecurity threats in mind. The design and assurance activities that were applicable to traditional IT need to be adopted where these architectures are now a part of complex weapon systems and other military devices that are becoming heavily reliant on technology. It is an absolute given that cyberattacks are here to stay. Nations will exploit online vulnerabilities.

With the adoption of technological advances, such as IoT and AI, come new cybersecurity considerations that need to be controlled and mitigated. Alarmingly, security experts have found that even modern military devices such as drones have security flaws in critical mechanisms that could be exploited by an adversary. Even communications systems – via the internet, radio and other airborne transport mechanisms – have shown vulnerabilities. The speed of adoption of new technologies should not come at the expense of cybersecurity, especially in defence.

Peekaboo – now I don’t see you

“Cyber” has entered the lexicon of modern warfare through the use of cyber Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs). And in many ways, the evolution of how “cyber” has been used in both defence and offence mirrors the evolution of warfare and weapons themselves. Initially it was hand-to-hand combat. Then, as gunpowder gave rise to more powerful weapons that could be shot from a distance, adversaries began moving farther and farther away from the battleground. With cyber threats, the theatre of war continues to change.

Cyberwarfare is truly invisible. An attack can be carried out from anywhere – thousands of miles away or a few doors away. The future of warfare now depends on a military’s ability to rapidly modernise and meet a series of invisible threats. For military decision makers, out of sight is not out of mind.

Tour the Shutdown!

We’ve been getting a lot of questions of late about how the government shutdown is affecting our tours.  The short answer is: it isn’t really.  The only real inconvenience is that we are currently unable to take guests inside the Lincoln Memorial.  However, all the other memorials and monuments are still fair game, and every tour guest we have led down to the Mall since the shutdown has enjoyed getting up close to the Vietnam War, WWII, Korean War, and Washington Monuments.

In fact, there’s something quite novel about exploring the National Mall with its sea of barricades.  It’s something only tourists visiting DC during a very short window of time in history get the opportunity to experience.  To become a member of this select group, contact us to reserve a spot on our From Swamp to Swank or DC in a Day tours!

Taco Bell Is Bringing Back Some Old-School Favorite Menu Items

After 45,000 customers complained, the company finally listened.

People have a history of campaigning for some pretty insane—and sometimes wonderful—things. Like changing the national anthem to R. Kelly's 2003 hit "Ignition (Remix.)." Or converting a national park into an actual Jurassic Park (wooly mammoths optional). People even petitioned to "lift the embargo" to allow the import of Kinder Surprise Eggs into the U.S. –probably the most important petition of them all.

The most successful campaign so far, however, has to do with Taco Bell. 45,000 people and counting are members of the Beefy Crunch Movement, dedicated to bringing back the most "amazingly tasty burrito ever." For five years, these dedicated foodies have been trying to get back this cult classic.

Taco Bell has heard you, children of the burrito. They are bringing back not one but two fan favorite menu items: the Beefy Crunch Burrito and the Cheese Double Beef Burrito. They'll be hitting Taco Bells nationwide—very very soon.

Honestly, this is heartwarming. That an entire group of burrito enthusiasts have been so dedicated to their cause that they actually managed to influence an entire restaurant chain, this may be the modern American dream.

As a thanks to these vigilant citizens, Taco Bell has also posted the World's Longest Thank You Note to The Feed, Taco Bell's blog. Included in their lovely not-so-little letter are some anecdotes and videos demonstrating the crazy things fans have done in the name of love for Beefy Crunch Burrito.

If this is the result of living mas, I can't wait to see what comes in the future. Perhaps the Bell Beefer or their infamous Chili Cheese Burrito (possibly still available in secret).

Eastern Shore Rural Health names new CEO

From Staff Reports

The Eastern Shore Rural Health System will have a new chief starting in the New Year.

Matthew Clay was named the health system’s new chief executive officer to succeed longtime CEO Nancy Stern, who is retiring on Jan. 1, 2021.

Clay comes to the Eastern Shore from Michigan, where he is currently the executive director of health services at Pokagon Health Services in Dowagiac.

“Our board is very pleased to hire Matthew after a highly competitive and thorough four-month search, vetting and selection process,” said Jeffrey B. Holland, president of the Eastern Shore Rural Health System Inc.’s Board of Directors.

Matthew Clay will take over as new chief executive officer of Eastern Shore Rural Health in January 2021.

“Matthew brings an exceptional combination of experience, talent, energy and vision to our health system. Matthew’s portfolio of skills and resourcefulness will be a catalyst for continued success and positive momentum for the Eastern Shore Rural Health System as stimulated by the 20 years of leadership with Nancy Stern.”

Pokagon Health Services serves as a primary health care provider for the Native American population in Michigan and Indiana. Clay oversees operations for three Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care accredited clinics (and is currently breaking ground on fourth clinic) offering: medical care, dental care, behavioral health care, transportation services, pharmacy services, community outreach, wellness programs, optical care and food services.

He manages a $17 million budget, has 13 direct reports and 100+ staff members. Clay has built strong relationships with regional health organizations, community members and CEOs of local hospital systems to enhance communication, generate awareness of tribal health care, and improve partnerships to benefit his patients.

Nancy Stern, Eastern Shore Rural Health chief executive officer, speaks during Representative Elaine Luria's press event on March 18.

He is active on many boards and committees at the federal, state and local levels. He has led special projects as needed, including construction, process improvement and modernization efforts.

“It is an absolute pleasure to be joining you as your new CEO,” said Clay. “I am delighted to have made it through a rigorous and thorough process. More than anything, I am excited to have this opportunity to be part of the ESRHS team.

Stern has been with the health system for 37 years and has served as its CEO since 2000.

Man charged in 'brutal' attack of RPD officer denies charges; more than 200 cops crowd courtroom

Victoria E. Freile
Democrat and Chronicle

More than 200 Rochester police officers crowded a city courtroom Tuesday for the arraignment of a man accused of a "brutal" attack on a fellow officer last week.

Keith Williams, 28, is charged with attempted aggravated murder and aggravated assault of a police officer, both felonies, in connection with the attack on Officer Dennison "Denny" Wright on Friday afternoon at 37 Peck St. in northeast Rochester.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday morning and was remanded to the Monroe County Jail without bail.

According to court documents, Williams allegedly punched Wright in the face and used an 8-inch bladed knife to repeatedly stab Wright "multiple times upon his face, left eye and lower body, causing serious physical injuries which were deemed to be life threatening."

Keith Williams, 28, of Rochester is arraigned in City Court on felony charges of attempted aggravated murder and aggravated assault of a police officer,. He is accused of stabbing Rochester police Officer Dennison "Denny" Wright several times.

Wright had responded to the residence for a domestic disturbance call shortly before 12:30 p.m. Williams allegedly was hiding under a bed when the officer arrived, but then got up and tried to run out, according to police. The stabbing occurred when Wright attempted to stop him.

Williams, who was initially hospitalized after the confrontation, was charged Monday afternoon. Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said she plans to present the case to the grand jury later this week, including additional charges.

Williams is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on Thursday morning.

Wright, a 23-year member of the Rochester Police Department, remains hospitalized at Rochester General Hospital. He suffered cuts to his face and at least one other part of his head.

Williams  is also a suspect in a shooting in May and faces charges of assault and weapons possession. In June, Williams was arrested on those charges after a standoff with police.

Wright's family shared a statement over the weekend:

"We would like to thank everyone for their support in this difficult situation. We are humbled by the outpouring of genuine concern and compassion from his brothers and sisters in blue, the medical staff at Rochester General, and his family and friends.

"The overwhelming support is a true testament of Denny’s character … a caring, giving officer who always did and always will place the safety of others before his own. On behalf of our loving Denny, thank you and please keep him in your prayers."

The canopy at Rochester's airport will be bathed in blue lights throughout the hospitalization of police Officer Dennison "Denny" Wright.

On Monday night, the canopy at the Greater Rochester International Airport was lit in a blue light in recognition of Wright and the Rochester Police Department.

Also on Monday, Rochester Police Chief La'Ron Singletary announced that two officers will be assigned to each patrol car until further notice.

Wright was solo when he responded to the reported domestic dispute on Peck Street.

Singletary, who along with the rest of the department's leadership team and more than 200 police officers, attended Williams' arraignment Tuesday.

It was a sea of blue as uniformed and off-duty officers filled each row and lined the back of the courtroom.

Over 100 police officers leave court after attending the arraignment of a city man accused of stabbing Rochester police Officer Dennison "Denny" Wright. He was seriously injured when he responded to a family disturbance call.

"We stand shoulder to shoulder to support Denny," Singletary said, adding that it must be clear that "an assault on a police officer won't be tolerated."

 "Every single one of those members of law enforcement, they go out every day and they work diligently to make sure that our citizens are protected," Doorley said after the arraignment. "Officer Wright was just doing his job. He was responding to a domestic call. … He's lucky he's alive."

Christianity,  Theology/Bible

Why Remember the Martyrs?

In an attempt to raise awareness about the Turkish martyrs, I sent their story to a religion writer at the Dallas Morning News. He posted links to reports about them on the Dallas Morning News religion blog: “The killing of Christians in Turkey.”

Unfortunately, one of the other religion writers at the Dallas Morning News got rankled by my concern for the martyrs. His frustration with me is posted here: “With all due respect to Professor Burk.” This reporter’s main problem with my efforts is that he thinks I am paying too little attention to all the suffering in the world. The murder of three Christians is not such a big story in light of the wars and genocides that occur daily around the globe.

One thing is for certain. I do pay too little attention to those who are suffering around the world. For that matter, I pay too little attention to suffering Christians around the world. I feel the burden of their suffering too infrequently, and I pray too little. For all of that, I repent. Lord, have mercy on me, the sinner.

So why the focus on these three murdered men? I’m not drawing attention to the suffering of the three Turkish martyrs because I think Christians are the only persecuted people, nor is it because I think their martyrdom outweighs the mass of human suffering around the world. As a matter of fact, I am overwhelmed when I think about the atrocities and the tragedies of daily life on planet earth. There aren’t enough tears for the grief due to the afflictions of humanity. One can only pray, “Maranatha.”

Nevertheless, there are important reasons for Christians in particular to mark the deaths of those martyred for Christ. First, the one who dies for Christ offers the world an embodied picture of Christ’s own suffering (Philippians 3:10). Second, the martyr’s death teaches us that Christ and His kingdom are more valuable and precious than anything. The martyr is not cowed by death, but by faith can see past it to the reward of resurrection. Christ is more precious than riches, relationships, or even life (Matthew 13:44-46). Thus the martyr shows the world that death is gain for the one who has faith in Christ (Mark 8:35; Philippians 1:21). Third, John’s apocalypse teaches that there is a fixed number of people that God has chosen for martyrdom. It is only after this number is completed that Jesus comes back to set the world to rights (Revelation 6:9-11). Anyone who longs for peace and justice on earth will only find that desire fulfilled when the Lord returns. Thus while every martyrdom is an occasion for grief, they are also a reminder that the glorious day of the Lord is hastening on.

So we mark the deaths of Tilman Geske, Necati Aydin, and Ugar Yuksel. We thank the Lord for their testimony to the supreme value of Christ over all things. And we thank God for the promise that He will one day make all things new. And we pray again:

Come soon, Lord Jesus. We need you to come very soon, indeed.

  • Chad Ethridge

    Glad to have stumbled upon your blog site. Appreciate your comments on this glorious tragedy that God has ordained. The scriptures you mentioned will help me in talking through this with others in my peer group.

  • Wonders for Oyarsa

    This is like saying it is hypocritical of you to make such a big deal when your wife dies of cancer, since people die of cancer all the time. Why did you choose just then to focus on the havoc cancer causes?

  • Vegas Art Guy

    It’s nice to see I’m not the only one interested in this brutal crime. Again we get to see the face of evil in the world. The question is do we run or do we confront it?

  • Patrick

    Thank you for your humility in thinking this through and clearly delineating the important reasons for why we should sit up and take notice of these three men. Excellent thoughts.

  • KathleenM

    How exactly are these three men “martyrs”? Martyrs are given the choice of death or renunciating their faith — the choice of death over life is precisely what makes them a martyr. These men, while their deaths are tragic, did not voluntarily choose death — death was thrust upon them. That makes them victims of murder; it doesn’t make them martyrs.

  • KathleenM

    Burk writes: “Third, Johnâ€™s apocalypse teaches that there is a fixed number of people that God has chosen for martyrdom. It is only after this number is completed that Jesus comes back to set the world to rights (Revelation 6:9-11).”

    Wow. So, according to your holy book, your god is busily tallying up the number of Christian corpses saying “Just 324,674 more dead bodies to go, then it’s showtime!”. And this is the guy who’s on your side?

    Kinda like a Holy Telethon of the Macabre, eh?

  • Trish

    tr.v. marÂ·tyred, marÂ·tyrÂ·ing, marÂ·tyrs
    1. To make a martyr of, especially to put to death for devotion to religious beliefs.
    2. To inflict great pain on; torment.

    Kathleen, the way I read this definition for martyrs, these men can definitely be identified as martyrs.

    I am glad to see that you are reading a website such as Denny’s and hope it arouses more interest in you to find out more about what he writes and why he writes it. I hope you will go to the source he uses and confirm for yourself what it says. I hope that you are inquisitive enough to continue reading this book so you will be more fully informed about the God we know and love. I hope that as you are reading, you will see His great love and realize that His words are truth and the truth can set you free and that you will someday accept this freedom, given to you as a free gift, yours for the taking, having done nothing to warrant such a gift.

    I am forever thankful that my God operates in ways I will never understand, that somehow He takes such tragedy, such suffering, such pain, and turns it to good. If I had to look at an event such as this without having His perspective I would see no hope, no good, that could possibly come of something like this. But, because His ways are not my ways, and His thoughts are not my thoughts, I have hope that He is at work in this tragedy, that He is even at work in you because He brought you here to this website where people here can dialog with you and answer any questions you may have about our God. We will all gladly, lovingly, and gently, share our faith with you. All you need to do is ask.

    Love in Christ,

  • KathleenM defines martyr as:
    ‘a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion.’

    American Heritage Dictionary defines martyr as:
    ‘One who chooses to suffer death rather than renounce religious principles.’

    That would make these men victims of a hate crime, but not martyrs.

  • Darlene Bocek

    3 people out of 3500 Christians in Turkey is proportionately….

    As if 7000 of the whole State of New York were slaughtered one-right-after-the-other in a bloodthirsty way.

    3 people…
    Of whom ONE gave up his comfortable life to live in another country because there was NO LIGHT there to train believers and to preach the gospel…

    Of whom ONE was a mature, evangelizing, Bible-school trained pastor in a country of only a handful of mature believers able-to-lead and able-to-teach…

    Of whom ONE was being raised up to be available for a pastoral position…

    Of the three men who were the leaders of the ONLY church in Malatya (a region of 381,000) and two potential leaders, three were killed, one was the first to the scene of the crime, leaving only one foreigner who can lead, but can not safely stay because of newspaper threats.

    What would that mean? Take all the pastors of New York and kill 66% of them. The other 33% make a target by telling where they live and putting pictures of their kids in the paper. Then take all the potential pastors and kill 50% of them, traumatize 50% of them.

    One pastor of 90 pastors in Turkey was killed. Take 10 out of every 900 pastors in New York.

    You want to know why they are true Martyrs? Look at their fingers. Flayed fingers is the means of torture advocated by the Koran to persuade someone to convert (back) to Islam.

    YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”

    PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.

    SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

    I hope these facts and analogies give you an understanding of what a tremendous loss it was for us here in Turkey.

    It wasn’t 3 men. It was unequivocally more.

Satisfied patients

Computerized aneshesia

For a large number of patients, local anesthesia is the most uncomfortable part of the dentist's treatment.

Pain in the course of local anesthesia occurs when the needle penetrates deeply and impairs the surrounding tissue. It may last even after the anesthesia has ceased. This applies particularly to the lower jaw where a longer needle is used. When the anesthetic is injected into the tissue, pressure increases in it and pain occurs. That's why in our clinic we use the most modern system for providing local anesthesia that does not cause pain. This new technology is very popular in patients with a phobia of injection.

The first in Serbia, we present our patients an innovative solution for a painless visit to the dentist, COMPUTERIZED ANALYSIS CALAJECT.

Calaject is basically a computer controlled injection. It serves to provide completely PAINLESS, safe and effective administration of local anesthetics while performing all routine dental procedures including: tooth repair, nerve removal, grinding for crochets, etc.

Injections of anesthetics is controlled by the computer, so the injection is slow, constant and COMFORT. By measuring the resistance in the tissue of the injection fluid, the computer calculates the correct position of the thin needle and is warned by the therapist. Before contact with the tissue, the instrument ejects a few drops to anesthetize the tissue prior to contacting with a thin needle, and the patient is provided with a maximum comfortable and relaxed treatment.

Where is anesthesia applied?

The system is specially designed to provide anesthesia for a single tooth by injecting anesthetics into a thin space between the teeth and the gums surrounding it. The procedure is carried out WITHOUT PAIN, VERY EFFICIENT, AND WITHOUT THE FEELING OF DUMNESS OF LIPS AND TONGUE. After classical local anesthesia, it took hours and hours for numbness to pass of the lips and to allow the patient to continue working or consuming food.  Until now, no conventional technique of providing local anesthesia in dentistry has not been able to provide such comfort for the patient, and for therapist sufficiently strong anesthesia to carry out an intervention without pain.

What are the advantages comparing to a classic needle and a syringe?

  • Precise control of injection and suppression of anesthetics enables the injection to be painless, even in less accessible teeth and regions such as the palate, where the injection is usually more painful.
  • The ergonomic design and low weight make it easy for the dentist to rotate it and manipulate with the attachment more precisely to point the location of anesthesia.
  • Standard anesthesia techniques are much more comfortable and effective when computerized anesthesia is used.
  • With only one ampoule of anesthetic it is possible to anesthetize more teeth.
  • There is no collateral numbness of the lips, tongue, and nose! Only the tooth which is treated or extracted is anesthetized!

Andromeda, 1869: Canvas Replica Painting: Medium
By artist Edward Poynter (1836-1919), in the Tate Gallery, London
In rich colors and contrasting light and shadow, Poynter tells the tale of Andromeda, chained to a rock as sacrifice to a sea monster, only to be rescued by the hero Perseus who falls in love with her evident beauty. While frowning on nudity in art, Victorian patrons allowed artists wide breadth to paint the female figure without condemnation of impropriety because the mythological Greek tales were so beloved. Poynter exhibited to acclaim at the Royal Academy. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. The imported, delicately carved hardwood frame boasts a delicate leaf motif with fine feathered detailing finished in antique gold tones.

   Sir Edward John Poynter (1836-1919)

Edward Poynter was born in Paris, the son of an architect, and after being educated at Westminster and Ipswich Grammar School, he went to Rome, where he met Leighton. Having decided to take up art as a career, as a direct result of meeting Leighton, he studied in Paris under Gleyre, who had been a penniless artist before he opened an atelier, when he rapidly became a famous teacher. In 1859 Poynter returned to London, and for the next few years struggled to make a living from his painting with indifferent results. He desperately needed the RA to take one of his pictures in order to establish his name. Eventually Faithful until Death was accepted by the RA in 1865. This picture, which shows a Roman soldier doggedly remaining at his post during the destruction of Pompeii, was a great success, and still remains Poynter's most famous work. This was followed by The Catapault and Atlanta's Race. Among his famous paintings are The Fortune Teller and The Meeting between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

Build brands online design store Dsigndot

Build has created the branding and website for Dsigndot, a new online retailer for emerging and established designers.

The platform, which launches on Monday, will sell limited-edition and one-off pieces from international designers and artists, including a number of bespoke products by architects Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher, shoe designer Atalanta Weller, jewellery designer Alidra Alic, fashion designer Amit Aggarwal, and furniture designer Zhouijie Zhan.

Dsigndot logo

Dsigndot was established by architects and designers Swati Sharma, who previously worked at Zaha Hadid Architects, and Kevin McClellan. They brought in Build to create the branding and site in August 2012.

Sharma says, ‘We’ve known them for quite some time and always thought of them as being cutting edge. We wanted the site to be very visual and different to what people were used to.

‘We wanted it to look a bit underground and not that commercial, but it had to be easy to navigate. It had to be all about the products.’

The site is accessible from desktop, mobile and tablet platforms. Build created a bespoke font for the logo, which uses a black and green colour palette that is reflected throughout the Dsigndot website.

Seoul Table by Zaha Hadid and partner and Patrik Schumacher

As well as offering a retail platform, the site will allow designers to submit their portfolios for consideration, and an editorial section will show interviews with designers and videos to illustrate the development of the designs.

Chair by Zhoujie Zhang

Every two or three months a new ‘pioneer’ designer will be chosen as the focus of the site, with Hadid taking the inaugural spot; while emerging designers will also be showcased.

Sharma says, ‘The essence of what we’re trying to do is make something that’s not the same as just going to a blog. We want it to be somewhere that people can discover really amazing design and new talent.’

    The ‘under construction’ site looks the most awesome I’ve ever seen and it already has got a PR2; great job! I’m looking forward to see the cool stuff;)

  • Roy Ikoroha November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am

    Good morning/afternoon there,

    As a architecture graduate (BA(Hons)) – I have set up my website as of August 2012 and do freelance design and photography.

    I love the look of Dsigndot and would be very interested to know how to get involved, and possibly including some of the work I have produced.

    Would be delighted to hear back.

This tiny brick building is the remaining part of the Lower Church of Blisland Parish, one of the Virginia colony’s more important rural churches. The original portion, a large nave, was begun in 1764 and completed in 1736. Its builders, John Moore and Lewis Deloney, both worked on Williamsburg’s Bruton Parish Church. A north transept was added in 1773-74. Following the disestablishment, the nave of the then-abandoned church was dismantled and the north transept was extended to create the present structure, which was put into service as a local school. The name Hickory Neck, used since the mid-18th century, was retained for the school. In 1907 the building was reconsecrated as an Episcopal church. Today, the picturesque structure stands as evidence of the difficulties suffered by Anglican churches in the early 19th century.

Drenched in Coca Cola

This week I was clearing myself after a healing session and asked for a bucket of ice cold water to be poured over me. Energetically of course, it doesn't happen in real life. Instead my Guides dunked a bucketful of Diet Coke and Ice on me and then asked if it was refreshing. It was not! It felt very sticky and sugary and I then had to clear myself with a water meditation to get rid of the Coke!

The clair-sentient message was accompanied by a telepathic comment about Diet Coke not being refreshing for my body either! OMG! I almost laughed but I was also a little bit annoyed. Maybe that's how my body feels when I drink colas. I had never thought of it that way. The past few weeks I have been getting hints that I should drink water instead.

To be fair, I have cut down on coffee and I'm drinking a lot more more water during the day. But I'm still having my Diet Cokes once a day, and its time to stop. On another note I am also wanting to lose a few pounds I believe the soft drinks are holding me back. Not sure how exactly but I bet there is an explanation for it. I've made up my mind to go cold turkey on fizzy brown drinks for the next month. I can start with that and maybe I'll be able to tolerate a cup of coffee a day.  Diet Coke will be a hard habit to quit, but I'd rather do that than give up my occasional Starbucks Caramel Macchiato. Or Cafe Nero. I'm a huge fan of Nero!

Reiki hugs, Regina

  1. Too funny about the coke! I think it was a message for you. I was very addicted to diet coke a few years back. Now I have about one a week and I'm even trying to cut that out. I think the diet coke with the aspartame in it can block us because it's really toxic to our bodies. Despite that, I like the taste of it even when I know it is so bad for me!

    1. I like the taste too but a cold bottle of water is sooo much more refreshing!

  2. I was drinking 1 and a half liter of Cola every evening. I quit because I felt my backpain coming again. (Cola and coffee take water out of the body). And now, months later, when i drink a Cola once, i can feel my body fighting the sticky stuff ;) I feel so much better now, and i drink pineapple juice instead...

  3. Nice visual. I am a fellow coffee drinker who understands the toxicity of the drink (because I add sugar & cream) and have also dealt with weight issues. I have found that by using Doreen Virtue's CD with Angel Healing Therapy, that I am cutting away this toxic drink through the process of 'cord cutting' during the meditation. If you've never played it or heard of this particular CD, I recommend it fully. The few times I have listened to it, amazing transformations have occurred. Truly amazing! I believe... I really believe that she has a perfect combination of words, tones, and visuals to help anyone through anything. It is a "Therapy" meditation... Try one of her online youtube videos... They work wonders!!!

Two people were arrested in Alabama after getting into a fight.

Alabama police say a dispute over crab legs at a dinner buffet ended up in a brawl where two people were arrested on misdemeanor charges.

Huntsville police officer Gerald Johnson reported that he was eating at the restaurant when the fight broke out.

Johnson told WHNT-TV that he witnessed the fighters using tongs like they were swords, and started to fence over crab legs, and then the woman and the man started to fight, and the woman starting beating the man.

Johnson told reporters that they had been waiting in line for more than 10 minutes, and they lost their temper once the food was brought out.

Johnson said plates and other things in the restaurant were thrown around as well.

He told  WHNT-TV:

“When they finally came out, it’s very heated. Especially if someone is taking more than their fair share,”

The police station reported that Chequita Jenkins was charged with assaulting John Chapman who suffered a cut on his face, and Chapman was also arrested for disorderly conduct.

Spring Clean Your Body

 It’s officially spring/early summer,  the birds are singing and the sun is shining. A time to spring clean not only your house but also your body. Now is the time to really get motivated and ready for those summer clothes.

Dietitian UK: Spring Clean your Body
Dietitian UK: Spring Clean your Body

Top Tips:

  • Be more active everyday. With lighter evenings and better weather get outside. Build a walk into your lunchbreak or after work, gardening is great for toning and calorie burning, dust off that bike, try out an outside bootcamp or a new class. Try and build activity into your usual routine so you do it straight after work or walk to places and find things you enjoy, as you will be more likely to stick to them!
  •  Blitz your food cupboards. If they are full of unhealthy snacks and treats, give them away and build up a supply of healthier options.
  •  Spring clean your eating plans. It’s easy to get stuck into a rut eating the same meals each week. Take some time to look at new recipes and think about eating seasonally, right now that includes asparagus, cauliflower, new potatoes, radishes, cabbage, spinach and watercress. Add colour to meals with salads made not just of lettuce and tomato but try sweetcorn, grated carrot, raw broccoli, beetroot and sugar snap peas.
  •  Get gardening. Not only is it a great form of exercise but growing your own vegetables and herbs will add taste and enjoyment to your meals. You don’t need a large garden, a few pots will do the trick.
  •  Plan, prepare and portion up healthy snacks on a quiet day or weekend to set you up for the week. Homemade smoothies, oaty bars, nuts and dried fruit, yoghurts or raw veggies and low fat dips are all great options.
  •  Swap some of those cups of tea and coffee for water, herbal teas or hot water with a slice of lemon to hydrate the body and leave you feeling energised.

BT says it supports Google in EU antitrust case against Android

Ken Wolter/123RF
BT, a telecommunications provider in the United Kingdom, has sent a letter to the European Commission announcing its support for Google in an ongoing antitrust case involving Android, the world’s largest mobile operating system.

The European Commission alleges that Google is using Android’s dominant market share as a way to push its own apps and services, like Search, Drive, YouTube, and Google Maps. Anyone is free to use Android, but if a manufacturer wants access to the Google Play Store — where about 2.6 million apps reside — they have to sign the Mobile Application Distribution Agreement and prioritize Google’s apps.

Manufacturers can still preload their own apps or ones from competing services like Microsoft — this is one of the points BT calls out in its letter to the European Union. According to Reuters, BT said the carrier is “free to preinstall its own or third-party apps on devices alongside preloaded Google apps.”

“We also said that, as an app provider, we value the ongoing stability and compatibility of operating systems, whether they are ‘open source’ or ‘closed source,'” a BT spokesperson told Reuters.

If a manufacturer wants to preload Google apps, they must sign the Anti-Fragmentation Agreement and not sell devices running a modified version of Android — Google says this ensures that apps are able to work across a wide number of Android devices.

“Our voluntary compatibility agreements enable variety while giving developers confidence to create apps that run seamlessly across thousands of different phones and tablets,” Kent Walker, Google’s general counsel, previously wrote in a blog post. “This balance stimulates competition between Android devices as well as between Android and Apple’s iPhone.”

It’s unclear why exactly BT decided to send a letter announcing its position on the case, but it is Britain’s largest operator so its words likely won’t be taken for granted.

Agora: Towards An Open Ecosystem for Democratizing Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

Abstract Data science and artificial intelligence are driven by a plethora of diverse data-related assets including datasets, data streams, algorithms, processing software, compute resources, and domain knowledge. As providing all these assets requires a huge investment, data sciences and artificial intelligence are currently dominated by a small number of providers who can afford these investments. In this paper, we present a vision of a data ecosystem to democratize data science and artificial intelligence. In particular, we envision a data infrastructure for fine-grained asset exchange in combination with scalable systems operation. This will overcome lock-in effects and remove entry barriers for new asset providers. Our goal is to enable companies, research organizations, and individuals to have equal access to data, data science, and artificial intelligence. Such an open ecosystem has recently been put on the agenda of several governments and industrial associations. We point out the requirements and the research challenges as well as outline an initial data infrastructure architecture for building such a data ecosystem.

Purposes and Functions of Diplomacy

The paper of Dr. Tethloach Domach Ruey discusses the purpose and functions of diplomacy. The purpose of diplomacy is to represent the sending state in the host country. The functions of diplomacy include ceremonial events, management, and intelligence gathering in the host country. The objective of this study is to clarify the purpose and functions of diplomacy for students and practitioners of diplomacy. The paper argues that the purpose and functions of diplomacy aim to maximize the interests of the sending state. Hence, a diplomat has to represent the sending state effectively.

Purpose of Diplomacy

The purpose of diplomacy is to foster the interests of state or non-state actors at the expense of other players and to foster order and peace in an anarchic world.

Functions of Diplomacy

Broadly speaking, diplomacy has two functions. First, communication and negotiation, and second, intelligence gathering, image management, and policy implementation (Berridge 1995, p. 41) and (Griffiths & O'Callaghan 2002, p. 80).

The collection of information helps diplomats to foresee domestic predicaments and subsequent foreign policy shifts. Moreover, the functions of diplomacy are not merely limited to representing the political and strategic interests of the sending state. They also include 'ceremonial, management, duty of protection, preservation of international order, international negotiation, and information and communication functions' (Bull 1995, pp. 164-165).

Communication is the most important function of diplomacy. Without diplomacy, international relations would present a dilemma. Thus, a diplomat must be an expert generalist in order to represent the sending state effectively and win the support of interlocutors (Siddiqui & Alam 2009, pp. 6-7).

Effectiveness of a diplomat

Effective diplomacy involves carrying out tasks in accordance with the will of the sending state. Some diplomats may not convey the sending state's position appropriately, especially in a time of crisis. A diplomat is not representing the sending state effectively when he contradicts the positions of the sending state. Such unprofessionalism may well cost a diplomat his job. If a diplomat observes that his country's position needs adjustment in negotiations, or is unsure of what the position of the sending state would be, the best approach is to consult his country.

For example, during the 1991 Iraq-Kuwait war, many people blamed the United States (US) Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, for failing to warn Iraq's President Saddam Hussein that the US would not tolerate an invasion of Kuwait. Below is an excerpt from the message Ambassador Glaspie conveyed to President Hussein in 1991:

I have direct instructions from President Bush to improve our relations with Iraq. We have considerable sympathy for your quest for higher oil prices, the immediate cause of your confrontation with Kuwait. (pause) As you know, I have lived here for years and admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your country (after the Iran-Iraq war). We know you need funds. We understand that, and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country. (pause) We can see that you have deployed massive numbers of troops in the south. Normally that would be none of our business, but when this happens in the context of your other threats against Kuwait, then it would be reasonable for us to be concerned. For this reason, I have received an instruction to ask you, in the spirit of friendship - not confrontation - regarding your intentions. Why are your troops massed so very close to Kuwait's borders? (Omar 2005).

Numerous commentators blamed Ambassador Glaspie for the ambiguity of her message, which President Hussein interpreted as a green light to invade Kuwait. First, this message is not ambiguous; it is a clear green light for Iraq to invade Kuwait. Commentators blamed the Ambassador without considering the possibility of a conspiracy that may have implicated the US government. Does it appear rational that the Ambassador sent this message without the consent of the US government? If Ambassador Glaspie had distorted the original message from President Bush, she would have been in serious trouble with her government.

However, if the US government's position was against the invasion of Kuwait, the Ambassador is to blame for conveying such a message. In this case, it can be seen that the diplomat either did not represent her country adequately or did not deal with the receiving state effectively. As an implementer of foreign policy, a diplomat should not alter a government's position for any reason whatsoever because foreign policy is a matter of national security. Ineffective representation of a state might be considered treason, especially if a diplomat's insincerity endangers the national security of the sending state.

Diplomatic Protocol

Ceremonial functions include protocol, representation, and participation in diplomatic circles. Protocol is necessary for diplomacy because it provides a guide to diplomatic procedure (the treatment in international fora of diplomats of varying ranks), for example, appropriate greetings, dress codes, introductions, titles, invitees and seating arrangements (eDiplomat 2017).

Protocol is observable even during wining and dining. For example, you cannot serve pork to a Jew or beef to a Hindu. To the Jew, pork is unclean, while Hindus consider cows to be sacred. Diplomatic protocol is a sensitive and unavoidable function that requires experienced officers. Nothing works by chance in relation to protocol. Thus, understanding etiquette is crucial in diplomatic circles because a minor error may cause a diplomatic rift between otherwise friendly countries.

In the case of a state visit, the level of protocol accorded a visitor manifests the level of friendship between the countries. A state receives a close friend cordially. Conversely, it is likely to extend a relatively cool reception to a less important friend. However, excessive protocol is occasionally uncomfortable, as can be seen in developing countries, where leaders are treated like deities. In South Sudan, for example, when the president delivers a speech to the parliament, a protocol officer must stand behind him. Moreover, the guard of honor is required to play the national anthem every five minutes or thereabouts in praise of the president. A protocol which interrupts the president's speech is not encouraged as it causes inconvenience even to the President.

How did such excessive protocol originate in developing countries? Colonial and feudal legacy played a role in the protocol culture of developing nations. Colonial or feudal 'masters' treated commoners as their possessions and people revered them. During decolonization, such protocols remained in the developing world. Thus, leaders who struggled against colonialism or feudalism with all its form found themselves enmeshed into the same net of colonial character they struggled to destroy.

Management Functions

Management functions refer to the management of daily activities, promoting and maintaining the country's interests, defending national policies, and strengthening bilateral (both conventional and unconventional) and multilateral relations. Conventional bilateral relations involve the conduct of diplomacy through officially accredited resident missions, whereas unconventional bilateral relations involve unofficial means of contacts (Berridge 2002, p. 105).

In conclusion, the purpose of diplomacy is to execute the foreign policy of the sending state in the host country, and to foster order and peace in an anarchic world. And functions of diplomacy are communication, negotiation, intelligence gathering, image management, and policy implementation.

"At Atonement, you'll discover God's amazing love revealed through Jesus Christ. Wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith, you're sure to fit in. With people of all ages, from babies to seasoned citizens, Atonement has been sharing the love of Jesus since 1987" - Pastor Scott Lindner

"When I asked my friend Matt Cox, the founding pastor of Atonement Lutheran Church, why he called this church 'Atonement,' he said, 'Well, actually I was looking for a word that starts with the letter A.  I wanted us to be the first church listed in the Yellow Pages.'  We both shared a laugh, knowing that there was a much deeper meaning to that word.  Atonement is what Jesus did for you and for me on the cross... His blood shed and His body broken.  It's God, pouring out forgiveness and love to all the world.  It's the one true, perfect gift that we can never repay.  That word, Atonement, is the source of our hope.  It is why we love, because God first loved us (1 John 4:19)."

-- Pastor Scott

Atonement brings Biblical truth into today’s world with a focus on God’s grace.

John 3:16 tells us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” This message is at the heart of all we do and believe. Pastor Scott has been with Atonement since 2006 and brings a sense of humor and fun to learning about Jesus.

Atonement provides many pathways to enrich your life and grow closer to God.

A variety of worship options include an informal Saturday service and lively Sunday services with a blend of styles. Children are enthusiastic participants in the 10 a.m. Sunday service, which includes a break for children's activities. Bible and prayer groups, fellowship and youth activities as well as diverse opportunities to volunteer are available throughout the week.

We are committed to welcoming all people, regardless of race, culture, or background.

Support groups like AA and Alanon meet on a regular basis. We are proud to be home to “Helping Hands,” one of the largest local food pantries serving the area north of Tampa. Several Scout groups also meet regularly at Atonement. We are here to serve and be an active part of our "north of Tampa" community.

Come join us in a joyful life of following our Lord Jesus, who calls us to bring his love and healing into the world.

We do this by:

  • Sharing our faith

  • Helping Hands Food Pantry

  • Caring and reaching out

  • Serving the community

A Gorgeous Christmas Ornament Tear Drop Swag Decoration DIY

This DIY tear drop swag decoration made from Christmas ornaments is so beautiful.  It can be hung from a light fixture, a front door, or a banister.  There is such a variety of ribbon, yarn, and greenery that you can make one for any season.  Thanks to One More Time for the great project.

Tear Drop swag using handcrafted Christmas ornaments.  I have to tell you when I decided to go with the colors of Black, White and Red in my Christmas decor, I didn’t realize there was a lot to choose from.  Oh there are plain white, black and red, but as far as decorative Christmas ornaments with the colors of black and white it was pretty slim pickings which brought me to create my own.  Today I would love to share a few ways I created my own black and white ornaments and created a Christmas Ornament Swag to go under my farmhouse ceiling fan.

Here are three I created using paint, sashay yarn and a sock.  Today I will be sharing with you all how I did the sashay ornament.  The other two are pretty simple, the polkadot was done with black chalkboard paint using a sponge dauber and the other was done by inserting an ornament inside a white and black polka dot  child’s sock.

How to make a sashay yarn ornament

Cutting your yarn to size to fit your ornament.

Take two  pieces (now this depends on the size of your ornament on how many pieces you will cut)  of the Sashay yarn and start from the bottom and go up to the top  adding about 1/2 inch more in length and tie the two pieces together.

Human history helps connect us to our cities and ultimately, through ownership, makes our environment safer. As part of our Wellington Inner City Lighting Plan, we identified St Gerard as one of those buildings that helps build civic pride and define a city. We then brokered an agreement between the City and its owners that allowed St Gerard’s iconic status to be enjoyed by day and by night.

Sort the spells before you print or generate a PDF

I've added the ability to choose how the PDF will sort the spells when it's generated. By default it's the default order..duh! (level, a-z), but you can choose to generate the PDF by the way the tables state.

It's important that you first sort the spells and after that's done, you can check / mark the spells.
