Prophetic Purpose

Prophetic Purpose

“See, I have this day set thee
over the nations and over the kingdoms,
to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy,
and to throw down, to build, and to plant
Jeremiah 1:10

The people of God become weary with the words of His prophets. They perceive the negativity and the sharp words as antagonistic. The desire for only encouraging and comfortable words is human nature. The thinking is that the world, the trials, the heartache and troubles of this life are more than enough for us to bear. This would be fine if God had no other purpose in His house than to bless us and comfort us in our situations. But God has a purpose and He sent His Son to bring about the thing He has purposed. God is intent upon His end and He sends His word to bring it to pass. God is a wise builder He is not going to patch up an old thing (see the parable of the wine skin). He must make everything new. It is the New Wine-skin which receives the new wine. He is not going to pour out Himself (the New Wine) into the Old. While men cling to their sins, former ways and institutions God withholds Himself; and He, as a loving Father suffers while He withholds. Joseph had to keep himself hidden from his brothers until there was a change of heart. At one point he had to leave the room as the desire to embrace them had to be restrained because of the hardness of their hearts.

The words of true prophets are not harsh for the sake of being harsh; they speak words necessary for God to finish His work. God cannot build until He tears down. He cannot plant until He roots up the evil and self-seeking ways of men. He cannot and will not sully His ways with the methods of men; the overlooking of sin to populate their churches and accomplish their agendas. He must tear down the lofty pursuits of those who seek the preeminence in His house.

God’s end is to prosper, bless and reveal Himself to His own. He never wavers in His faithfulness to us. It is we who need to change. It is we who need to give heed to His word and His purposes in this day. God is Holy and as such He requires us to be holy, pure and set apart as purchased possessions. It is the joy of the Lord we pursue not our own. His joy becomes our strength to do the things which please Him.

“Therefore, have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me” Hosea 6:5

The hard words and God’s judgements were as “light” going forth. righteousness is the result of light. It is a light which proceeds from God to give light unto His people concerning their ways and their condition. He desires mercy, not religious sacrifices. He desires that His people know Him rather than all the programs, religious prayer meetings and traditions of men. His people become content with tepid offerings of lukewarm hearts. They become satisfied with elaborate events and magnificent buildings even though Jesus said there would not be left one stone upon another when He is finished! The true building of God is made up of living stones built together as a holy habitation wherein He alone has the preeminence; One Lord, One faith and One body. It is to this end His prophets speak, weep and anguish over the blindness and stubbornness of the day.

“We are not diplomats but prophets,
and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum”
A.W. Tozer

“And it came to pass,
when they had eaten up the corn
which they had brought out of Egypt,

their father said unto them,
Go again, buy us a little food”

Genesis 43:2

The Manifold Workings of God

There was a famine in the land. The famine was for a purpose. It was to end the separation of Jacob and his sons from Joseph (whom Jacob thought was dead). Joseph was in one place and they were in another. Jacob was content to stay where they were as long as they had provision. God’s purpose was to bring them to Joseph, the source. This place of independence is not God’s ultimate design. We get our sermons and teachings so that we can sustain our way of living. We want provision so that we can maintain our independence and our “place” of abiding. God is only interested in a living expression called the ONE Body of Christ. We hold on to our “teachers” and our “ministers” while living in independence from the Body of Christ around us. Not only is this a meagre existence, it also prevents the real edification that is ours by the local gathering and functioning of the Body of Christ. It keeps us from participating in the things of our Father with each other; from developing the very ministry that HE has called us unto; from realizing that my relationship with my brother is paramount in the seeing of His Face.

“And Judah spake unto him, saying,
The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying,
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you
Genesis 43:3

For Jacob’s part he must sacrifice the object of his greatest love. For his independence to die he had to give up that which was most dear to him. The thing that he clung to had to be released in order to realize God’s full revelation. Little did he realize that the Faith of Abraham must be lived out through each succeeding generation. Doctrines and teachings can pass without much cost, but real and vital faith must know true sacrifice. Abraham’s experience (of offering up Isaac) would not suffice for Jacob. Jacob must also offer the same sacrifice to know the same God. The famine had to be greater than Jacob’s resistance to hold back, yet in the final relinquishing of his last love he found that God gave more than he could ever imagine. So too is it with each of us.

For Jacob’s sons part they would not see the face of Joseph until they were willing to sacrifice their lives for their brother Benjamin (Genesis 44:18 – 45:2). Joseph means, “He shall add”. As the early Church revealed the life and power of the risen Christ in their day, we too are standing on the brink of the coming forth of Benjamin, the Son of HIS RIGHT HAND! This Benjamin will require people who are willing to lay down their lives for each other that the Lord Jesus Christ himself may openly declare HIS presence in our midst. The sacrifice and faith required for the early church must once again be known by this generation. It is a day to repent of living APART from the people of God around us; a time to cease from a life of subsisting on a provision from somewhere else. The manna that sustained us in the wilderness is not designed for the Land of Promise! Let us lay down our lives that we might see the face of our beloved. It is for Benjamin that the Son is looking; it is to Benjamin that the fivefold portion is given. It is in loving one another, interacting with one another and praying for one another that we shall know of this Glory.

“Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind”
Philippians 2:2

“Ye know that my wife bare me two sons” *

“The sons of Rachel;
Joseph and Benjamin”

* Later writing

B.o.B. is back with the fourth and final installment of his element series, A.I.R. (Art Imitates Reality).

The 11-track effort comes after the ATLien released W.A.T.E.R. (We Are The Enemy Really), F.I.R.E. (False Idols Ruined Egos) and E.A.R.T.H. (Educational Avatar Reality Trailing Habitat). For his latest project, B.o.B. goes solo dolo with no features -- he also produced all of the tracks.

The series seems to fall in line with B.o.B.'s conspiracy theory that the Earth is flat -- not round.

Earlier this year, he tweeted "No matter how high in elevation you are… the horizon is always eye level … sorry cadets… I didn’t wanna believe it either."

Afterwards he shared some "evidence" of the theory with a photo of himself standing 16 miles away from a skyline that he claims shouldn't be able to be seen if there is indeed a curve.

Luckily, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson was quick to drop some science knowledge and explain to B.o.B. why he's wrong.

"Earth's curve indeed blocks 150 (not 170) ft of Manhattan. But most buildings in midtown are waaay taller than that," he said.

But it seems that B.o.B. is keeping hope alive -- even after Tyson broke down the facts in a rap, "Flat to Fact," on the newly canceled The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

But as Tyson said -- "Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music."

Therefore, check out the album below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

The Kansas City Chiefs or the San Francisco 49ers, who will you be rooting for on Super Bowl Sunday?

Will you be attending a party at a friend’s house or going out to a bar? Either way, 33rd Street Bail Bonds wants you to stay safe and out of jail on Super Bowl Sunday.

Here are a few tips to stay safe:

•Have a designated driver
•Don’t drink and drive
•If you are drinking alcohol, make sure to eat food. Also, alternate an alcoholic beverage with a non-alcoholic beverage such as soda or water
•If you are hosting a party, make sure that no one drives home impaired. Offer to get them a cab, a ride-share service, or to let them crash on your couch
•If playing games during the Super Bowl, don’t make them alcohol related. Instead, have games based on the results of the game such as the score after the first quarter, how many interceptions are thrown, or how many extra points will be made
•If you are attending a party at a bar, only accept drinks from the bartender or waiter/waitress
•Scope out all of the exits when you first enter a bar
•Tempers can flare when alcohol and emotions mix. Bad mouthing the other team, questionable calls in the game, and perceived flirtatious behavior can all lead to trouble
•Be careful driving home. A combination of fatigue, alcohol, and being distracted by re-living the game in your head, could all lead to trouble
•Make sure everyone in the vehicle buckles up
•Watch out for other drivers who might be impaired

33rd Street Bail Bonds offers these tips for staying safe on Super Bowl Sunday.

33rd Street Bail Bonds has bailed clients out of jail for numerous charges including battery, theft, assault, DUI, drug possession, larceny, and more. To start the bail bond process, please call 407-425-7200 or 407-425-3303. A bail bond agent is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all year long including Super Bowl Sunday.

Xeomin® (Injectable Wrinkle Relaxer for Dynamic Wrinkles) – Naples, FL

41 Procedures ( View All )

About Xeomin

Even though you may have been able to smile, frown, laugh, and make other facial expressions without concern when you were younger, you may now be realizing that the facial wrinkles caused by these expressions are staying, even after your face has relaxed. These lines are actually called dynamic wrinkles and they're caused by the overuse of the facial muscles that make them stay contracted, forming etched lines in the skin. Xeomin is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that, like BOTOX, periodically relaxes the facial muscles with a strain of purified botulinum so your wrinkles appear smoother and softer. At Basile Plastic Surgery in Naples, FL, we provide a number of aesthetic and dermatology procedures similar to Xeomin nonsurgical wrinkle relaxing treatments. Arrange for a consult with aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Basile for more information about Xeomin.

Ideal Candidates

Xeomin helps to diminish the look of dynamic wrinkles on the face, including frown lines, forehead lines, Crow's feet, and smile and laugh lines. Ideal candidates for Xeomin are in good overall health, are not currently pregnant, and have never had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin products, including BOTOX and Dysport. Speak with Dr. Basile at your consultation about your aesthetic goals, current medications, and medical history so he can create a Xeomin treatment plan that is specific to you.

Procedure Technique

Xeomin injections typically last around 30 minutes beginning to end and can be completed in our procedure room at the conclusion of your consultation. The parts of the face receiving treatment will be sterilized before Xeomin is gently injected with a dermal needle. The procedure is fast and generally does not cause great discomfort, so local anesthesia is not necessary but available upon request. Cold compresses and pressure will be applied to the site of the injections to prevent minor bleeding prior to your returning home.

What to Expect

You will be permitted to leave our facility after receiving your Xeomin injections to return to your daily activities; however, vigorous exercise should be skipped until the next day. We may recommend that you sleep in a slightly elevated position and apply cold compresses as needed to expedite recovery and results. After a Xeomin treatment, you may experience some bruising, swelling, and redness near the treatment areas, but this is no cause for concern and can be easily covered up with makeup. Many individuals will notice marked improvements 3 – 4 days following their Xeomin treatment lasting approximately three months. Repeat injections at Basile Plastic Surgery can be arranged to optimize your results.

Ordinary people
Ordinary people
Evans, Diana2018
South London, 2008. Two couples find themselves at a moment of reckoning, on the brink of acceptance or revolution. Melissa has a new baby and doesn't want to let it change her but, in the crooked walls of a narrow Victorian terrace, she begins to disappear. Michael, growing daily more accustomed to his commute, still loves Melissa but can't quite get close enough to her to stay faithful. Meanwhile out in the suburbs, Stephanie is happy with Damian and their three children, but the death of Damian's father has thrown him into crisis - or is it something, or someone, else? Are they all just in the wrong place? Are any of them prepared to take the leap? Set against the backdrop of Barack Obama's historic election victory, Ordinary People is an intimate, immersive study of identity and parenthood, sex and grief, friendship and aging, and the fragile architecture of love. With its distinctive prose and irresistible soundtrack, it is the story of our lives, and those moments that threaten to unravel us.

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse

Tillamook Rock

Built on a rocky island 1.2 miles offshore of Tillamook Head, Tillamook Rock Lighthouse represents an engineering and construction feat that overcame great obstacles. From 1880 when the lamp was lit until 1957 when it was decommissioned, “Terrible Tilly” served the maritime industry. Five keepers attended the lighthouse: four on duty at the lighthouse and one onshore on leave. No families lived at the lighthouse. Rotations were every three weeks for that’s when a boat returned the man on leave and brought provisions and mail. Because of the danger and isolation, these lighthouse keepers were paid more. Giant waves battered the lighthouse often shattering the protective glass around the light. During a storm in 1896, a rock weighing 135 pounds crashed through the roof and into the kitchen of the keeper’s quarters. After decommissioning, the lighthouse was abandoned for two decades. Under private ownership in 1980, the lighthouse was renovated and converted to a columbarium cemetery. Since 1994, the rocky islet has also been designated a federal wildlife refuge filled with nesting common murres and cormorants. The lighthouse can be seen from Ecola State Park and from Highway 101 south of Cannon Beach. It is not open to the public.

Bookworm for Kids Blog Review of Nepal

Bright colored and packed with Nepal’s variety, this short book gives a great first glimpse into the mountainous country. The text is simple enough for young, beginner readers and short enough not to scare away more reluctant ones. Important facts are sprinkled among more fun ones, which not only holds readers’ interest, but also allows the country to be presented in a diversity of ways. Everything from food to history to sports and, of course, Mount Everest are touched upon. The bright photographs allow readers to get a glimpse at everyday life and the sights in Nepal. Little bubbles with extra tidbits help express the images in the photographs. There are also pronunciation helps with some of the more difficult words. At the end of the book, there’s a glossary, index and website address, where readers can go to find more information. It’s a simple book packed with first bits of interesting facts, so kids can get their first glimpses at the country and culture.

Booklist Review for Ecuador, Honduras, Jamaica, and Peru

With bright photos and welcoming descriptors, like “Full of Wonder” and “Breathtaking,” the books in the Countries We Come From series present young readers with attractive overviews of individual countries around the world. Each begins with a world map showing the country’s location and two to three sentences stating its population and the region of which the country is a part (e.g., Central America). Vibrant photos fill the ensuing pages, mixing full- and double-page spreads with circular pictures that spotlight specific elements of the land or culture. Readers will learn about the country’s geography and wildlife; crops and/or industry; Native peoples, conquerors, and independence; and aspects of culture, such as language, festivals, cuisine, and popular pastimes. Ecuador shows off the blue-footed booby, unique to its Galapagos Islands, and reveals that despite being a small country, it produces most of the world’s bananas. In Honduras, readers discover that the Maya originally lived here and that its modern residents love playing soccer. Although the other three titles reviewed here gloss over the unpleasantness of conquest, Jamaica briefly describes its history of slavery. Deserts, mountains, and the rain forest kick off Peru, but readers may be most taken with Lima’s cat park. “Fast Facts,” a picture glossary, and an index round out these concise and reader-friendly introductions to some of the world’s countries.

SLJ Review - Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Colombia

The latest titles in this continuing series visit countries of the Caribbean Basin. The strongest element of the set is the appealing format; large, colorful captioned photos arranged in clean layouts with two to three sentences of simple text. Books begin with a locator map and population statistics and continue on to cover landforms, animals, cities, agriculture, history, food, and celebrations. Extras include two simple words in the nation’s language and a “Fun Facts” summary page. Coverage is positive, with an emphasis on the people, customs, and natural world rather than governments and institutions. In Cuba, the only mention of its communist government is a paragraph about the lifting of the travel ban due to the country’s recent rapprochement with the United States. This set continues the series’ focus on introducing countries with large immigrant populations in the United States. VERDICT Recommended additions.

School Library Journal Review for Countries We Come From

Large, vibrant photos, many of children, are the strongest element of this attractive series. Clean layouts feature captioned double- or full-page photos and two to three sentences of simple text. Books open with a locator map and population statistics, and while topics vary somewhat by country, they generally include landforms, interesting animals, cities, crops, history, foods, and celebrations. The titles also feature a page with two simple words or phrases in the nation’s language and conclude with a brief “Fast Facts” summary page. Coverage is upbeat and emphasizes the country’s land, people, and animals rather than governments and institutions. VERDICT These offerings celebrate diversity and introduce nations that have strong ties with our own, making them good purchase choices.

Booklist Review for Guatemala

Ready to do some armchair traveling? This entry in the Countries We Come From series lets readers explore Guatemala’s cities, landscape, ruins, and more. The first thing readers learn is that Guatemala is colorful, busy, and warm. Vibrant photo illustrations support this claim, showing huge, colorful kites, a crowded market, and bright green palm trees. While the text remains simple, it does dig a little deeper as the book progresses, offering basic facts on population, languages spoken, information about the Maya, and popular pastimes and celebrations. Large-scale photos grace almost every page, showing the country up close: a farmer picking coffee, a woman making tortillas, a quetzal in flight, and a smoking volcano. Though too spare for more in-depth reports, this provides a well-rounded and attractive first glimpse into life in another country.

« Recipes for Peace Cookbook | Main | Marcel Khalife Tours USA »

October 22, 2004

Is this the one where the filmmakers tell random people the parable of Solomon and the baby, in an attempt to make the point that the ones who love the land the most are those who refuse to partition it? If so, I've seen it, and my vote is with the person who caught on and said "but that's different." Unlike babies, things - such as parcels of land - can be divided without killing them. There may be some issues too fundamental to be compromised, but these are very few; there's a reason that the phrase "sawing the baby in half" is usually used in a _positive_ sense.

Besides, the ones who are most adamantly opposed to a two-state solution these days are Hamas and the Israeli far right. Are they, then, the ones who love the land the most?

Some Days

12745456_10100322965717949_8887268010168419454_nEveryday things happen and in the same element, they also don’t happen.

There are good days, bad days, and “meh” days.

We have productive days and then we have days that are not.

Some days we are down, feeling unmotivated, and just want to snuggle with a soft blanket on the couch with your two orange tabby cats.

Today I want to be snuggling blankets and cats on my couch with my book in tow.  What brings this on is the fact that the weather has changed here in the desert.  It is rainy, gray and dark.  Adding to the mix, I am still working on getting over a sinus and respiratory tract infection.  I am finding myself to be tired and lacking inspiration.  It’s a challenge to do what needs to get done and I am easily distracted.

Within my distraction, I have spent time today identifying these items and working to address them in the best way that I know how.  I am making a plan of action, which includes a list, to help keep me on topic as well as on point today.  The reality is right now, I can’t go home.  I have work that needs to be finished.  After this here lunch break of mine, I will need to get back into the swing of things and start accomplishing some goals.

As I work to complete the goals that have been set forth, I feel like I am hiking the summit of a mountain.  My heart is labored, and I feel a little weak and lightheaded.  But I am determined that I am going to make it to the top.  I will accomplish this goal that is set before me.  And this is the exact thing in my actual life.  I will work through the exhaustion, the stuffy nose, and the distraction and will achieve that sense of accomplishment.

Some days are hard.  Some days I want to give up and run home and hide.  Some days I can do this, but some days I cannot.  Some days I am a ball of positive energy.  Some days I want to say the hell with it.

Today, I am going to muscle through the fatigue, I am going to power through the sludge and make it a great day.  I am going to embrace my inner happiness and put a genuine smile on my face.

Some days, a day is a day.

Son of Russia’s notorious prosecutor works in Belarus, buddies up with Viktar Lukashenka

Artyom Chaika, President of the International Congress of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (ILAC) and a son of Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika, was appointed deputy chairman of the Economic Board attached to the Russian Ambassador to Belarus.

Opening the meeting of the board, Mikhail Babich, Russia’s envoy and Vladimir Putin’s special representative on the development of trade and economic cooperation with the Republic of Belarus, stressed the importance of developing bilateral relations between the two countries, the need for greater integration of national economies and business relations, joint implementation of projects on entering the markets of third countries.

In this context, its deputy chairman Artyom Chaika, a son of the notorious prosecutor and business baron, calls attention to himself.

In April, Viktar Lukashenka, the Belarusian president’s eldest son, and Interior Minister Ihar Shunevich attended the opening of the motobike season H.O.G. Spring Challenge 2018. Russian First Nonmetallic Company, Pomegranate Wellness Spa Hotel and Potidea Palace Hotel are listed as the sponsors of the event. All the assets belong to Artyom Chaika, who also heads the biker club H.O.G. Iron Birds which has repeatedly participated in such festivals in Minsk. He is on friendly terms with Viktar Lukashenka who is a great fan of motorcycling.

“The Iron Birds has its five-year history; it stems from the friendship between the fraternal peoples of Russia and Belarus. Artyom Chaika and Viktar Lukashenka were ideological inspirers of the movement,” reports.

It is noteworthy that the Belarusian Interior Ministry awarded Artyom Chaika with the badge ‘For Assistance’.

In 2015, Russian oppositionist Alexei Navalny‘s anti-corruption fund published a 44-minute video about the business empire of Yury Chaika and his sons, Artyom and Igor. The politician claims that the Chaika brothers have repeatedly offended against the law. The fund’s independent investigation into the case took up 1.5 years.

Turn English subs on

It is curious that Viktar Lukashenka also appeared in the investigation movie. In December 2017, the United States imposed sanctions on Artyom Chaika.

Cream-vented Bulbul having an evening bath

posted in: Feathers-maintenance, Videography | 1

Lena Chow caught this Cream-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus simplex) having its evening bath on video. “Other than an occasional upward glance, this bulbul seemed quite comfortable having its evening bath caught on video…,” wrote Lena. Well, this is one way of keeping its feathers in top condition, besides sunbathing and preening LINK and anting LINK.

My favourite YA love stories

Paranormal romance is one of my least favourite genres, because often the romance totally overwhelms the story.  Some of my favourite YA books from the past few years have centered around teenage relationships, whether it’s a girl who has to remind herself every morning about the guy she loves, a red notebook that bring a guy and a girl closer together, or a terminal illness that gives two teens a shared experience.  I’ve listed my favourite YA love stories below (with links to my reviews).  The characters in these books feel like real people, with real problems, who have realistic relationships.

Hearsay, Deception and One Person Hammock

one person hammock

The Good, the Bad and One Person Hammock

Just have a look at the video below to observe how two people can comfortably sleep within this hammock. To be in its best, the hammock should be elevated and supported. If you by chance like rope hammocks, the record can create a right alternative for the bed. Cotton rope hammocks deliver more comfort and require very little maintenance as they may be easily cleaned by simply employing soapy water.

There’s as much to consider about suspending the hammock, because there is to deciding what kind of hammock is ideal for your requirements. Hammocks are handmade generally, by artisans from various parts of the Americas. The right sized hammock, the appropriate hanging angles, and the suitable style are critical.

The Most Popular Person Hammock

Some hammocks have spreaders and a few have traditional fabric at every end. This kind of hammock appears great by the pool or in the rear yard. Hammocks are made aafrom cotton cords in distinct colours, with the exceptional designs around the width. Purchasing a camping hammock resembles a daunting procedure, but it isn’t as complicated as people think. Maybe the very best reason to use a camping hammock is that it’s environmentally friendly.

Hammocks are immediately recognizable as a result of their distinctive look, but they have existed much longer than many folks realise. In fact, they can offer the most headroom of any tent since you can decide how high or low to pitch your tarp. This kind of hammock demands the protection of a hammock sock if it’s left outdoors for any duration of time. The Amor Draumr Camping Hammock is among its most well-known products.

Here’s What I Know About One Person Hammock

Hammocks aren’t just made for singles. If you intend to sleep alone, opting for a hammock that’s too wide can wrap around you further and cause you to feel claustrophobic. The hammock includes a handy bag which makes it effortless to take with you wherever you’re going! It is vital that you make sure that you set the hammock up in a manner that doesn’t damage the tree you’re hanging from. There are presently a wide selection of hammocks out there. Not a lot of individuals are prepared to use a number of the finest portable hammocks out there on the market nowadays.

Hammocks have various styles. You might feel unstable moving within this hammock. The chair hammocks are ideal for reading sessions.

The Appeal of One Person Hammock

If you want to utilize your hammock a good deal, it is logical to spend more for a high quality product which will get a lot of use over several years. If however, you want to utilize your hammock extensively and wished to last for many decades, it makes sense to create a considerable one-time investment as an alternative to every few years buying newer products. Hammocks can be utilized in a selection of unique settings. They are produced throughout the world today and offer a huge variety of styles and functions. If you believe camping hammocks are a very good fit in your case, it’s highly encouraged that you give the game changers mentioned above a go. Needless to say, the very first thing you need to consider while buying a camping hammock is the place you will probably use it.

Education Social Network Lore Adds Student Features to its “Virtual Campus”

Lore, the social network for education that got its start focusing on individual classes, today announced new features for students which not only allows them to sign up without being invited by a course instructor, but also expands the definition of what a Lore community might be. It’s a natural next step for Lore, which early on in its life changed its name from CourseKit after realizing that the opportunities for connecting students and educators in a web-based social network extended well beyond the boundaries of the classroom.

Previously, Lore only allowed professors to create classes, and students could only join once they’d been invited to that class by an individual. Lore Marketing & Operations chief Hunter Horsley said in an interview that early on the team saw the opportunities to expand beyond that, and this is a key step towards that goal.

“This summer, we basically re-did the entire course product based on feedback we’d received and ideas we had, and today we’re expanding to the next step for us as a network,” he said. “We started with courses as the smallest unit [for education-based networking], and we’re now recognizing that students don’t just learn from courses, they also learn from groups they’re in.”

Those groups could be honors societies, faculties, majors, study groups or any number of other classifications. Horsley also said that they don’t necessarily have to be formal. Suppose, for example, a student wants to network with a former or current professor, and possibly establish a longer-term mentorship relationship. That’s now possible with the new Lore, as is grouping up with other students who don’t necessarily share classes, but share interests and study goals that cross disciplines and departmental boundaries.

“We know that students want some individual relationships, if you have mentors, if you have aspirational figures in your life,” he said. “I think the experience everyone has is they have that professor freshman year, that they love and go home and rave about, but there’s no good way to stay connected to that guy. You can’t friend him on Facebook, it’s creepy to add him on LinkedIn, so you lose that connection. But now [on Lore] you can follow professors, you can follow other students on campus and they can follow you.”

Students can also build academic profiles on the site, sharing details that can provide a more complete picture than either a resume or a CV. And they’re free to create their own groups, which Horsley thinks should lead to greater use of Lore beyond the confines of higher education, and into more informal groups of users who might be working on continuing education or hobbies.

Another social network famously began as a tool for education-centric communities: Facebook. But Horsley believes Lore will differ by sticking much more faithfully to a vision of a network that empowers and augments education. That’s also what makes it different from other education-focused tools with networking elements, he believes. Whereas something like Coursera wants to become the curriculum and classroom online, Lore is intent on becoming the virtual campus, which should make it a good fit for learners at both traditional institutions like Harvard and non-traditional education communities like Coursera and Udemy.

Expansion aside, Lore will remain free for students and educators, and will steer clear of advertising as a source of revenue. Instead, the company will explore opportunities around the sale of textbooks and other paths to monetization. Horsley notes that the textbook market alone is a $13 billion industry in the U.S., for which Lore could eventually become “the gatekeeper.” For the time being, however, Lore plans to focus on product development and user growth, true to the path taken by social networks like Facebook and Twitter before it.

Placed’s Mobile Analytics Platform Gives Developers Location-Specific Insights

Mobile developers are eager to track engagement on their apps, and there are a number of startups looking to deliver an analytics product that makes sense for mobile in ways that are better than just porting web-based metrics to portable devices. Startup Placed is among them, but this company, which is launching its public SDK for Android developers today (a public iOS debut will come later), wants to deliver insight around something uniquely mobile: location information.

Virtually every mobile device is now capable of gathering data about where they’re being used, with a high degree of accuracy. That’s a veritable treasure trove of information for developers, who can use information about where their software is being used, and in what specific scenarios, to draw conclusions about which feature additions and updates would give them the biggest bang for their buck in terms of development time and money spend. There’s also the opportunity to go directly to advertisers with solid information that an app is being used near their establishment, making it much easier to sell ad inventory and corporate tie-ins that will help drive revenue for apps that are free or ad-supported.

Developers using Placed will be able to see where users are interacting with their apps, what stores, establishments and places of interest are nearby, whether they’re being used mostly in transit or in stationary settings, and more. That kind of data could show a developer that they need to include a hands-free mode, for instance, if they see their app is being used frequently during a morning commute.

Of course, dealing with location information collected via mobile devices is also a veritable briar patch of privacy issues, one that has caught the attention of U.S. lawmakers, as well as news media outlets and consumers. That’s something Placed Director of Marketing and Operations Andrea Eatherly understands only too well, and she explained in an interview why she thinks Placed will be able to allay, not exacerbate, user concerns around the use of location-based mobile analytics.

“From a privacy standpoint, we don’t associate any personal information with the location data, so it’s completely anonymous,” she said. “By aggregating the information that way, we can help [developers] avoid any privacy concerns.” The idea is that Placed operates as a disinterested third-party, providing developers with the information they need to improve their product, analyzed and broken down with analysis done for them, while also making sure that consumers are protected.

Part of Placed’s emphasis on privacy and avoiding any perceptions of misuse of consumer data extends to how the startup uses the data it gathers; the company doesn’t partner directly with advertisers to do the kind of location-based real-time contextual ad placement that many see as the golden opportunity for place-based analytics. Instead, it provides its insights to developers, who can then use that data to work out deals with advertisers that make sense, but the distinction is that the raw data, even in its anonymized form, isn’t making it into marketers’ hands directly.

There are other concerns when it comes to location-based data gathering and mobile devices beyond privacy. Battery life is a big concern, especially if an app is going to be checking location information and transmitting it regularly. Placed has worked to minimize the impact it has on device battery life by building in algorithms that recognize when a user has been at the same location for a while, and checking location data less frequently as a result.

For now, everything Placed offers developers is free, since the company is focused on driving adoption at this point, though Eatherly explained that the company is formulating plans for creating revenue. “Further down the line, we see opportunities to start charging for premium features,” she said. “One that we’re already thinking about is benchmarking, so that an app can see how their audience compares to the overall audience.”

Placed offers a lot of valuable insight to developers, which could help on both the product side and with surfacing revenue opportunities that might not otherwise be apparent. As long as the company stays clear of the minefield that is the dark side of mobile location data usage, it stands a good chance of becoming another key pillar in a developer’s analytics toolbox.

Winter Skincare Must-Haves #gifted

Winter is always the time of the year that my skin doesn’t enjoy, I’m used to having really oily skin and having to re-powder throughout the day. However, in Winter, my skin is the complete opposite, it is really dry and sometimes flaky which I hate!! In this post I will be talking through the products that have helped my skin throughout this period and showing you my winter skincare routine.

2 of the products mentioned in this post go hand-in-hand with the PMD Clean that I was recently sent to review from the lovely Harlen Leonard. The PMD Clean is a ‘smart facial cleansing device’ which helps for the products to absorb in to your skin and to ensure a really good cleanse. I have been testing this product for a while to see if I could tell the difference when using it and when not.

One of the products that this works really well with is The Body Shop facial wash from the vitamin E range. I have loved this for ages and you may have seen it mentioned in a previous post of mine when I reviewed some of the products from the range. This, mixed with the PMD Clean, absorbs really well in to your skin and fully gets all of your face makeup off which is amazing and so quick and easy. When using the product alone, I found that it didn’t absorb in to my skin very well, it just felt very heavy on my skin and didn’t take my makeup off too well.

Another product that this works well with, is the PIXI Glow-O2 Oxygen Mask, which PIXI kindly gifted me. I recommend this product to only be used around once a week as it works best when you have breaks from it. I have had amazing results from this, you apply it on to your face and it lathers almost instantly, when using it with the PMD Clean, it really gets in to your pores and the areas that you can’t reach when using your hands to rub it in. The Glow Mask makes your skin feel so smooth, refreshed and awake, it has really helped my dry skin over the past few weeks! Definitely recommend this product!

The final product that has helped my skin throughout the colder months is the PIXI Glow Tonic which they also gifted me. I had seen so many great reviews of this online so was desperate to try it. I use a small amount of this on a cotton pad and rub it all over my face. It definitely lives up to its name as my skin feels so refreshed and awake after using it. This isn’t the best toner for removing makeup as that isn’t its main priority so I tend to use a face wash like the Body Shop one mentioned above before applying this.

My moisturisers never change as I stick to ones that I know won’t irritate my skin (as many have). I tend to switch between the Body Shop one in the Vitamin E range and the Clean and Clear one all year round as they work best for me.

Overall, I would say that the PMD Clean makes a difference in my skincare routine, although it doesn’t affect the dryness of my skin in the colder months, it definitely does reduce spots and makes my skin feel so much cleaner! The PMD Clean can be found here and it retails for £89. It comes in 5 colours and the packing is really nice! I went for the light pink one with the rose gold detail on the bottom as these are some of my favourite colours.

Thanks to Harlen Leonard for sending me this to review! Although some products within this post were sent to me, all reviews are my own and this post in not sponsored by Helen Leonard or PIXI.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know some of your skincare favourites in the comments:) If you’d like to follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you can find me at @bethxkate.

Mark 11
Douay-Rheims Bible
The Triumphal Entry

1AND when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, 2And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat: loose him, and bring him. 3And if any man shall say to you, What are you doing? say ye that the Lord hath need of him: and immediately he will let him come hither. 4And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways: and they loose him. 5And some of them that stood there, said to them: What do you loosing the colt? 6Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them; and they let him go with them. 7And they brought the colt to Jesus; and they lay their garments on him, and he sat upon him. 8And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way.

9And they that went before and they that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

11And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. 13And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs. 14And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the chairs of them that sold doves. 16And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple; 17And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves. 18Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

19And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

The Withered Fig Tree

20And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away. 22And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. 23Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. 24Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you. 25And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. 26But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.

Jesus' Authority Challenged

27And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients, 28And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? 29And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word, and answer you me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. 31But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. 33And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

I've just finished a long bicycle tour on a loaded touring bicycle, and I'm interested in calculating the number of calories I must have burnt over the trip. However, all the calorie calculators I come across don't take into account the weight of the bicycle, which means the data must be a significant underestimate.

So, what is the calculation used to calculate number of calories burned on a bicycle ride, and how can it be modified to take into account the weight of a heavily loaded touring bike?

  • 2
    The reason they don't ask bike weight is it makes no difference - weight is only significant on hills and acceleration, even then, its way less significant than the error in the guessed Calories burnt. Wind has far more impact - did you record wind speeds on the days you were riding. – mattnz Aug 25 '15 at 21:00
  • I think the question is "what is the formula for calculating calories burned" not "is there a way to get an estimate of how many calories I burned." Does anybody know how to do the actual math? – dlu Aug 25 '15 at 21:21
  • @mattnz that assumption only works for the common case where the rider weighs 5x of more what the bike does. When the bike weighs about the same as the rider and the frontal area is doubled or worse the whole "bike barely matters" assumption is not relevant. – Móż Aug 25 '15 at 21:58
  • 2
    The simplest approach is to add the "extra" weight on the bike to your claimed body weight. – Daniel R Hicks Aug 25 '15 at 23:18
  • You may be interested in the answers to bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/30413 – mattnz Aug 26 '15 at 1:32

To be honest, you're really asking this question too late. If you had asked before your tour, I believe the easiest way you could have measured it would be to find a cycling app which takes your weight and your other physical information. Then you simply weigh your fully loaded bike and add that weight to your own, then the app would measure your total calories burned. (Even this would only be a rough estimate).

However, there is no solid answer to this question. As I said before, you would have been better off asking this prior to the trip, as there are dozens upon dozens of factors needed to give you an accurate BALLPARK of how many calories you've burned. (I.e. Speed, terrain, average gradient, food consumed while on your trip, average power output, length of time spent in the saddle, cadence, over all distance, e.t.c.)

I suppose if you wanted a very rough estimate, find a calorie calculator online, input the total weight, (you and the loaded bike), take the distance traveled, and the estimated total time in the saddle. This method would be fairly inaccurate, but without the factors listed above, I believe it's the closest you would get.

  • All of the ride data is on Strava, so I could easily change my weight data on there to get the results you're suggesting. I am actually asking what the calculation is though, not where I can get the result. – majackson Aug 25 '15 at 17:16
  • 2
    Perhaps you could add a new bike to Strava, and then assign that bike to the ride. I'm pretty sure assigning a different bike to the ride will cause it to recalculate the calories burned. – Kibbee Aug 25 '15 at 17:49
  • 1
    @Kibbee is actually correct. At least about being able to add different bikes to different rides. However, I experimented with it myself and the bike itself does not alter the calorie count at all. – Weirix Aug 25 '15 at 18:26
  • 5
    Actually it does affect the calorie count. I just tried it on my own account. I had a ride that was 1 hour 50 minutes, and covered 50 km. I did the ride on my touring bike which I have entered as 12 kg. Strava says I burned 965 Calories. When I switched it to the Tag Along Bike, which is just the same bike with the tag along mount for my kid mounted, which I have entered at 60 kg, it changes the calorie count to 1201 calories. You have to make sure you refresh the screen after changing the ride, but it's definitely taking the bike into account. – Kibbee Aug 25 '15 at 18:54
  • 2
    Also, it sometimes seems to take a little while to change the calorie count, even if you did refresh it. When switching my ride back to the original bike, the first refresh did not show the calorie count changed back to the original value. I had to refresh a second time. Also, depending on the weight difference of the two bikes, it may or may not end up calculating a different number of calories. My second bike was a full 48 kg more than the original bike. – Kibbee Aug 25 '15 at 18:58

You can't.

Calories burnt depends on your speed, elevation change, and your body composition. e.g. riding at 30mph burns more than double the calories per hour than 20mph.

The calorie calculators just make a rough approximation, and their margin of error is significantly greater than the difference between their assumed bike weight and yours.

Just take what they provide as an estimate, or supply your weight as being your actual weight plus the extra weight on your bike and call it good.

  • My whole trip is logged by my Garmin device, so I do actually have speed and elevation change data. – majackson Aug 25 '15 at 17:13
  • Tuesday morning I commuted 23 km to work into a fairly steady 60-70 kph head wind (gusting to 90 according to the weather report). Tuesday evening I commuted 23 km home with a 70-80 kph tail wind (gusting to 120 - and they tell us it is summer here...). Total elevation change less than 2 metres, I doubt that any calculation using my instantaneous velocity and elevation on those two trips could calculate calories burnt to within a factor of 2 without taking the wind into account. – Penguino Jan 24 '17 at 21:10
  • @Penguino: ok, your point? – whatsisname Jan 24 '17 at 21:34
  • My point is that mass, speed, and elevation alone won't be sufficient to approximate calories burned if other variables are not taken into account. Even minor head-, tail-, or side-wind will have an effect as might tire pressure, atmospheric pressure, mechanical condition of the bike, road surface (smooth tarmac, rough tarmac, cobbles etc.). Therefore the specific equation used by any particular calorie calculator (based on speed, distance, altitude, and rider mass alone) is probably irrelevant and any modification of such an equation to take bike weight into account is pointless. – Penguino Jan 25 '17 at 3:13
  • @Penguino: and is that not basically what I said when I opened with "You can't"? – whatsisname Jan 25 '17 at 3:15

I recently saw a site which gives a calculation, and shows formulas, which will take in to account the weight of the bike: http://www.tribology-abc.com/calculators/cycling.htm They combine the weight of the rider and the bike to get a total mass mtot and then this is multiplied by a rolling resistance coefficient Cr and acceleration of gravity g to get a rolling resistance force: Rolling resistance Frol = mtot g Cr. A separate calculation gives the air resistance force; These are added to get a total drag force, then multiplied by the speed to get the power required. You can change the rider weight, bike wt, drag coefficients, uphill slope, etc. A final calculation estimates the efficiency of the cyclist in converting food calories (kcal) to delivered pedal energy in kilo-joules (kJ). For example, using the default parameters, increasing the bike weight from 15 to 30 kg increased the calories from 577 to 589 kcal for a 60 min ride. Another site which also discusses this is http://www.cptips.com/formula.htm

  • Welcome to Bicycles @Mark29. +1 Nice first answer :-) – andy256 Jan 24 '17 at 21:17

If you're able to upload the ride to Garmin Connect, or Strava, you can get an estimate of calorie burn on the basis of speed, elevation, and so forth. If you were wearing a heart rate monitor, the estimate from Garmin will be much more accurate, but unfortunately at this time Strava does not factor heart rate into their calorie estimate.

I'm just going to ignore fancy apps, gps, and physics all together:

Figure out how many calories you consume on a typical/non-exercise day and multiply that by the days in your bike tour. Subtract that from the amount of calories you consumed during the tour, and that will be a pretty good estimate of how many calories the actual biking required.

An old thread, but it's still disturbing to see how many people think heart rate monitors are going to tell you much of anything with respect to calorie burn, and who think bike weight won't matter. I suggest you disregard everything these people say about calorie burn and other topics as well.

Basic physics tell you how much energy it takes to move a given mass a given distance on a given slope. It also tells you how to factor in various factors such as drag and friction. Mark29's link is excellent. You should be able to figure roughly where you and your bike are such that you can get a decent estimate. If you doubt me on this please see a physicist or a physics professor.

The other very good option would be an accurate power meter that includes or is coupled to a recording device to keep track of your output for the entire ride. This will eliminate any need for you to determine any of the more difficult to measure items like your total air drag and bike friction, because your specific energy output required to overcome all of these, as well as to move your mass and the bike's mass is totaled for you.

  • I concur, HR monitors always way overestimate the calories burned. This could be due to the fact people don't set them up correctly with upper limits and lower limits. When ever I ride with Garmin it thinks I'm always in zone 7 !! This has a drastic effect on calories burned. As a rule of thumb I generally take it with a pinch of salt and half whatever the Garmin says for calories burned. Strava seems more accurate without any HR data – Dan K Sep 3 '19 at 19:41

    Hi, welcome to bicycles! This discussion is interesting, but SE isn't a discussion forum; you should focus your response on the question instead of replying to other answers. Please read How to Answer. – DavidW Sep 3 '19 at 19:45
  • As an aside, only 1 of the previous answers even mentions a heart rate monitor, so your first paragraph is a bit over the top and ranty. – DavidW Sep 3 '19 at 19:47

What Great Writers Know About Getting Unstuck

Whatever you write, whatever you create, the state you seek is flow. Flow is when the work is moving through you and time and self-consciousness fade away.  Flow

“When we choose a goal and invest ourselves in it to the limits of concentration, whatever we do will be enjoyable. And once we have tasted this joy, we will redouble our efforts to taste it again. This is the way the self grows.”  Indeed, in his landmark book FLOW, many of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s analyses flow. And they describe the writer’s experience.

When you are stuck or blocked, it’s easy to doubt yourself. How to get unstuck? There as many tricks for overcoming writer’s block as there are writers. Here are five tips inspired by great writers. Plus two more for good luck.

1. Examine your motivation

Late American novelist John Gardner said, Writer’s block comes from the feeling that one is doing the wrong thing or doing the right thing badly. Fiction written for the wrong reason may fail to satisfy the motive behind it and thus may block the writer, as I’ve said; but there is no wrong motive for writing fiction.” You started writing because you had a particular vision. Go back and think about what that was. Ask yourself: What was the essential image or question or desire that motivated you? You may find answers that can serve as a creative compass to help you get there.

2. Take Visual Breaks

Michael Ondaatje, the Canadian novelist famous for writing The English Patient and The Collected Works of Billy the Kid told Alison Flood of The Guardian that “During those early stages of handwriting the novels, I sometimes need a few visual breaks along the way. I might stick in someone’s poem fragment, just a few lines, or perhaps a stray visual image of a party at Oxford where quite a few are drunk that I came across in a magazine. There might be perhaps some subliminal influence.” His notes and archives contain countless photographs, maps, calendars, drawings, and other multi-media. Next time you find yourself unable to put words on a page, try taking a visual break.

3. Make bad worse

In his book On Writing,  giant of genre-fiction, Stephen King, explains how one of his solutions to not knowing what comes next in a story is to add a problem. He could take the existing conflict and make it worse, let tragedy strike his character, or introduce a complicating factor. As a writer, you want to be able to see where things can go wrong in a story and make the most of those moments. This can help drive a story towards its conclusion.

4. Write “one true sentence”

Ernest Hemingway left behind several letters and articles that discussed his writing method. To overcome writer’s block, he would start by writing “one true sentence.”

“Sometimes when I was starting a new story and I could not get it going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, ‘Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.’ So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there. It was easy then because there was always one true sentence that I knew or had seen or had heard someone say.”

5. Stopping when you know what comes next

Another Hemingway method involves making sure you never drain yourself of creativity too early. He would always leave a thread open that he could pick up the next day, instead of stopping when he was out of ideas. “The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable thing I can tell you so try to remember it.”

Here are a couple of more techniques that are not from “great writers” but helpful nonetheless.

6. The Pomodoro Technique

Developed by Italian software engineer Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s and adopted by millions of people worldwide, the Pomodoro Technique is named after the popular tomato-shaped kitchen timer and is based around 25-minute blocks of time interspersed with 5-minute rest periods. It’s a simple formula. Plan your tasks, focus for 25 minutes without checking your phone or email or working on another task, take a 5 minute break, completely stepping away from your work, then repeat for 3 more sessions.

7. Find a writing coach

A dedicated friend or colleague can act as your writing coach. Or you can hire someone.  A coach will help you break your project down into small parts and a schedule. You then commit to having these sections done by a certain time. This adds accountability.

So next time you’re stuck and can’t tap into that state of flow, try one of these suggestions and let us know how it goes. Or tell us some others that work for you.

In the meantime, take it one sentence at a time.
