Committee to harmonise citizens’ data

National Identity Card
National Identity Card

By Doris Esa
The Committee on Citizen Data Management and Harmonisation has assured Nigerians that it would work toward speedy harmonisation of the citizens’ numerous identification data held by different government’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).

The Committee, which was set up by President Muhammadu Buhari, said this was to ensure a single database owned and managed by the Federal Government.

Mr Mohammed Manga, Director Press and Public Relations, Ministry of Interior made this known in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

Manga quoted the Minister of Interior and Chairman of the Committee, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, as noting the president’s commitment to the global fight against terrorism at the inaugural meeting of the committee on Tuesday.

The minister said no stone would be left unturned in ensuring national security and public safety of Nigerians and foreigners alike.

Aregbesola said, “The harmonisation of the database has become imperative because of the present global security challenges and the urgent need for Nigeria to join the international community in the fight against transnational crimes and criminality”.

The minister also set up three sub-Committees, for speedy and efficient delivery of the presidential mandate as contained in the terms of reference of the committee.

The committees are “Citizen Data Management and Harmonisation, Central Crime Data Management and Harmonisation, Limited and Temporary Visa Restrictions.

Aregbesola called on the committees to immediately commence the review of the recent limited and temporary immigrant visa restrictions by the United States of America.

He also urged them to develop and implement systems and processes that would address the security concerns raised by the U.S and submit their interim report on or before Feb.14.

Members of the Committee present at the inaugural meeting were Ministers of Communication and Digital Economy,
Foreign Affairs, Finance, Budget and National Planning.

Others are Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Minister of Police Affairs, Governor of the Central Bank, Inspector General of Police, Comptroller General, and Nigeria Immigration Service.

Also present were the Director General, State Security Services (DSS),
Director General, Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), Director General, National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), and Director General, National Population Commission (NPC).

The Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Chairman, National Electoral Commission (INEC), Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and Accountant-General of the Federation also attended the meeting.

The presidential committee is expected to prepare and submit its final report on or before March 16.

I have to apologize right upfront, I am not taking a look back at 2020 but rather want to talk about 2021.

As you think about the year ahead, what does it look like? What are you excited for? What are planning on accomplishing? What milestones will you celebrate?

In other words, when you take look back at 2021, what will you “Year In Review” look like? Just so we are clear, you are the one that will control what happens. Sure, there will be challenges, speed bumps and even set backs, but the focus on your goals and how you respond will determine your success.

I was able to gain incredible insights from the book “Essentialism” by author Greg McKeown. He states, “Essentialism is not about how get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done…it is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.”

The ability to focus on what is essential is something I have struggled with but the times I do, my success increases exponentially. When I commit to using my energy to accomplish those items that are of most important, I notice my energy levels actually increase, not decrease because of the effort it took.

What are the essential actions you must take today, tomorrow, next week, next month to ensure you accomplish what you want to in 2021? How can you decide what are the essential actions or priorities?

Here is what McKeown shares:

1- Explore and Evaluate

2- Eliminate

3- Execute

Each of these items are pretty self-explanatory but if you want to know more of the specifics I suggest you check out McKeown’s book.

I can tell you that each step takes time to ensure you don’t short change yourself. You want to be honest with yourself so you get dialed into what are those most essential things you need to do. I love this takeaway McKeown shares. “If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will.”

So I take us back to where I started, what is your 2021 Year In Review going to look like? What are the most essential actions you need to take that will guarantee your success?

This can be an awesome year if you want it to be. It comes down to your motivation and desire to focus what is most essential.

You’ve Got This.

Charles Okocha breaks silence about video smashing friend’s car over alleged daughter

Nollywood actor, Charles Okocha, has debunked claims that he damaged his friend’s car after he spotted his daughter seating at the front seat.

In the viral video, Charles Okocha was seen holding a spade which he used to hit the windscreen of his friend’s car several times; hence damaging it.

The video sparked controversy on social media as some fans believed it’s a skit, while some others slammed Charles.

However, in a chat with The Punch, the actor cleared the air stating that the video snippet is from a movie role from a yet to be released movie.

Charles Okocha said,

“You should know me by now that I will never do a thing like that. I will want people to zoom into the video, look at the face of the lady and compare it with my daughter. That is not my daughter.

“What people saw is a scene from a movie I am featured in but it is not yet released. I will have addressed this issue since but I am currently filming in the east and I am very busy at the moment.”

A Trophic Cascade

Eric Tonningsen's Awakening to Awareness

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” ~ John Muir

Trophic cascades are powerful indirect interactions that can control entire ecosystems. This 270-second video beautifully describes and illuminates the favorable affect of a recent trophic cascade. I’m sharing the video because, in my mind, it parallels our responsibilities and human role in a chain or cycle.

In July I added this post which highlighted how we, individually and collectively, can create ripple effects with our intentional actions. While the above video addresses fascinating wilderness recovery efforts, from a human perspective I was drawn to the aspects of and potential in:

  • giving life to others
  • changing behaviors
  • regenerating significance
  • how, even in small numbers, we can effect change

The Real Ben & Jerry’s Exposed as Supporter of Israel’s Enemies; Massive Boycott Launched

Anuradha Mittal, the Chairman of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream has been previously involved with Code Pink, the Jewish Voice for Peace as well as other radically left wing, Anti-American and Anti-Israel organization.

Edited by:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is the latest prominent figure to join the movement to boycott Ben & Jerry’s ice cream after the company on Monday announced that it would be ending all sales in Judea and Samaria, caving to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, as was reported by Israel National News.

“I can say I will not be eating anymore Cherry Garcia for a while,” said de Blasio in a video shared on social media.

He called the company’s decision “sad.”

“I don’t know them well but I’ve met them over the years and I think they’re good people, with good values,” de Blasio said. “But this is a mistake. They shouldn’t do this.”

INN reported that the mayor said that “BDS is a movement that will undermine peace in the Middle East.”

“It’s as simple as that,” he said. “You cannot have peace if you undermine the economic reality and create division. I believe it’s absolutely the wrong approach and I don’t think Ben and Jerry’s should be doing that.”

“They’ve done a lot of good in the world but they should stand back from this,” he added.

An online petition to boycott Ben & Jerry’s ice cream after it announced it was ending all sales in Judea and Samaria has garnered over 3,000 signatures in 16 hours, according to the INN report.

The Coalition for Jewish Values petition on states, “We, the undersigned, condemn Ben & Jerry’s decision to end sales in Judea and Samaria, two areas that have been continuously in the possession of the Jewish people for nearly 4,000 years – since Abraham purchased the Cave of the Patriarchs.”

Remarking that Ben & Jerry’s decision to cave to the BDS movement by ending all sales in Judea and Samaria would serve to embolden anti-Jewish hate worldwide, the petition says that “the company’s decision will perpetuate malicious, ahistorical notions and fuel what is already rampant Jew-hatred in the United States and around the world.”

It adds, “In response to Ben & Jerry’s decision to participate in an anti-Semitic boycott, we refuse to purchase any of the company’s products until it abandons this inhuman policy,” as was reported by INN.

As of Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. EST, the petition had received over 3,000 signatures in 16 hours.

“An Ice Cream company should be focused on making children of all backgrounds joyful. Not in the establishment nor reinforcement of systemic discrimination against children from a particular area or background; according to a selected and intolerant view,” said Rabbi Professor Alan Friedlander, one of the signers of the petition.

On Monday, Ben & Jerry’s announced: “Ben & Jerry’s will end sales of our ice cream in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

In a statement, the ice cream company said, “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.”

INN reported that Yesha Council chairman Yigal Dilmoni said: “The global Ben & Jerry’s company did not withstand the anti-Semitic pressure of the BDS organizations. I call on our friends, the friends of Judea and Samaria in the United States, to put economic pressure on them by taking their products out of stores until they back down from this unfortunate decision.”

The State Department refuses to directly condemn Ben & Jerry’s. Ned Price, State Department spokesman noted that this is a private company and therefore he would not comment on it. However, Price stated that alongside the Biden administration’s support for freedom of expression, he opposes the BDS movement, which unfairly discriminates against Israel, as was reported by INN.

“I condemn all anti-Israel and BDS activities. We will work with Israel against attempts to delegitimize it,” Price said.

INN also reported that sales of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel jumped 21% Tuesday, a day after the global company announced it would boycott Judea and Samaria.

Ben & Jerry’s Israel, which is licensed to produce the ice cream in Israel, has rejected the global corporation’s calls to pull its products from Jewish communities over the ‘green line.’

“Since the morning hours there has been a significant increase in sales of our ice cream–over 21% over sales on a normal day,” Ben & Jerry’s Israel said in a statement.

“Don’t stop!–We must put pressure on the Unilever Corporation, the owners of the global Ben and Jerrys, to turn” their decision around, the statement continued, as was reported by INN.

“We call on everyone to stand firm with us and with the hundreds of Israeli workers who could be affected by the global BDS pressures. As it was yesterday, so it is today–we will continue to sell in all of Israel and to all Israelis.”

INN reported that Ben & Jerry’s Israel, which operates out of Be’er Tuvia, will continue to hold the license to produce the ice cream in Israel until the end of 2022. Until then, Israelis living in Judea and Samaria will continue to find the sweet dessert in their stores.

Several kosher supermarkets in the United States announced that they would no longer stock Ben & Jerry’s products after the ice cream company announced that it would not allow its products to be sold in Judea and Samaria.

Glatt Express Supermarket, a store which serves the Jewish community of Teaneck New Jersey, announced on Facebook: “Due to the recent actions by Ben & Jerry’s, Glatt Express will no longer be carrying Ben and Jerry’s products. Am yisroel chai.”

INN reported that store owner Dani Secemski told the Jewish Link: “Food in general should not be politicized, especially in this way. Glatt Express will always stand with Israel…and we are looking forward to carrying other brands of ice cream.”

The Seasons chain of kosher supermarkets which operates in New York and New Jersey sent a message to its customers stating: “Seasons has removed all Ben and Jerry’s products from all its stores as a result of the ice cream maker’s decision to cease sales in parts of Israel. We stand with Israel. Always,” according to the INN report.

The board of directors of the Morton Williams Supermarkets, which has 15 shops in New York City, decided to reduce its stock of Ben & Jerry’s products by 70%,, stop advertising for Ben & Jerry’s and consign the rest of its stock of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to the “least desirable” parts of the freezer sections, the New York Post reported.

Aron’s Kissena Farms, a supermarket in Queens, New York, also announced that it would no longer stock Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, according to the INN report.

Kof-K, the kashrut certification organization which certifies Ben & Jerry’s, announced that it was preparing a response which would be released in the coming days.

Speaking to NBC News, Ben & Jerry’s chairman Anuradha Mittal said that a statement Monday by Ben & Jerry’s that it will no longer distribute its products in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory” but will remain in Israel was released by the company’s owner, Unilever, without consulting with the ice cream maker’s board. She said that they had intended to put out a different statement that made no mention of committing to continue doing business with the Jewish state, according to Times of Israel report.

While many companies and countries have differentiated between Israel and its settlements in Judea and Samaria, a complete boycott of Israel by a major Western company has been almost unheard-of in recent years.

TOI reported that Mittal said the board had been pushing for years to stop selling its products in settlements and intended to release a different statement from the one Unilever put out. NBC, which reviewed the intended statement, said it made no mention of remaining in Israel and focused on Ben & Jerry’s commitment to social justice causes.

Mittal did not rule out the company doing business in Israel in the future with a different distributor but said such a decision would have to be agreed upon by the board and that Unilever had no right to make the commitment on behalf of Ben & Jerry’s, according to the TOI report.

Mittal accused Unilever, the European consumer-product giant that bought Ben & Jerry’s in 2000, of violating the purchase agreement that allowed the company to maintain control over its social mission, brand integrity and policies and implied that the decision to ignore the will of the board was racist and sexist, as was reported by TOI.

“I am saddened by the deceit of it,” Mittal told NBC News. “This is not about Israel; it is about the violation of the acquisition agreement that maintained the soul of the company,” Mittal said. “I can’t stop thinking that this is what happens when you have a board with all women and people of color who have been pushing to do the right thing.”

“The statement released by Ben & Jerry’s regarding its operation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory (the OPT) does not reflect the position of the independent board, nor was it approved by the independent board,” said the board in a separate statement to NBC. “By taking a position and publishing a statement without the approval of the independent board on an issue directly related to Ben & Jerry’s social mission and brand integrity, Unilever and its CEO at Ben & Jerry’s are in violation of the spirit and the letter of the acquisition agreement.”

Mittal also said that the board had passed a resolution to end sales of Ben & Jerry’s products in Israeli settlements last July, but that the company’s CEO Matthew McCarthy, appointed by Unilever in 2018, “never operationalized it,” as was reported by TOI.

“They are trying to destroy the soul of the company,” Mittal said. “We want this company to be led by values and not be dictated by the parent company.”

Unilever, which has a very large presence in Israel, later released a separate statement expressing its commitment to its presence in Israel. It did not mention the dispute with the Ben & Jerry’s board, according to the TOI report.

“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a very complex and sensitive situation. As a global company, Unilever’s brands are available in more than 190 countries and in all of them, our priority is to serve consumers with essential products that contribute to their health, wellbeing and enjoyment,” Unilever said. “We remain fully committed to our presence in Israel, where we have invested in our people, brands and business for several decades.”

“Ben & Jerry’s was acquired by Unilever in 2000. As part of the acquisition agreement, we have always recognized the right of the brand and its independent Board to take decisions about its social mission. We also welcome the fact that Ben & Jerry’s will stay in Israel,” Unilever said.

Glatt Express Supermarket, a store which serves the Jewish community of Teaneck New Jersey, announced on Facebook: “Due to the recent actions by Ben & Jerry’s, Glatt Express will no longer be carrying Ben and Jerry’s products. Am yisroel chai.” Photo Credit: YouTube

The original statement put out by Unilever on behalf of Ben & Jerry said: “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.”

“We have a longstanding partnership with our licensee, who manufactures Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel and distributes it in the region. We have been working to change this, and so we have informed our licensee that we will not renew the license agreement when it expires at the end of next year,” it said.

“Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement. We will share an update on this as soon as we’re ready,” the statement added.

Anuradha Mittal’s political proclivities however appear to be suspect, according to research by the Jewish Voice. She is the founder and director of the Oakland Institute, a self proclaimed independent policy think tank, however they consistently propagandize for Palestinian causes and provide spurious information about Israel.

Her name has also been attached to the radically left wing and notoriously anti-Israel organization Code Pink as well as the Jewish Voice for Peace that consistently spews forth vile anti-Israel propaganda. Ms. Mittal’s name is consistently found on anti-American and anti-Israel petitions alongside such infamous radicals as Angela Davis, Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, actress Jane Fonda, writer Eve Ensler, playwright Alice Walker and others of that ilk.

AP reported that the move by the Vermont-based ice cream company drew swift reproach from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, a former leader of the Judea and Samaria settlement movement who called it “an immoral decision and I believe that it will turn out to be a business mistake, too.”

Bennett said the Unilever ice cream brand had taken a “blatantly anti-Israel step” and that the government would act aggressively against any boycott aimed at its citizens.

The Israeli foreign ministry called Ben & Jerry’s decision “a surrender to ongoing and aggressive pressure from extreme anti-Israel groups” and the company was cooperating with “economic terrorism.”

“The decision is immoral and discriminatory, as it singles out Israel, harms both Israelis and Palestinians and encourages extremist groups who use bullying tactics,” the ministry said in a statement. It also called on Ben & Jerry’s to withdraw its decision.

The Ben & Jerry’s statement cited “the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.”

The company did not explicitly identify those concerns, but last month, a group called Vermonters for Justice in Palestine called on Ben & Jerry’s to “end complicity in Israel’s occupation and abuses of Palestinian human rights,” as was reported by the AP.

“How much longer will Ben & Jerry’s permit its Israeli-manufactured ice cream to be sold in Jewish-only settlements while Palestinian land is being confiscated, Palestinian homes are being destroyed, and Palestinian families in neighborhoods like Sheik Jarrah are facing eviction to make way for Jewish settlers?” the organization’s Ian Stokes said in a June 10 news release, as was reported by the AP.

In a Monday statement, the organization said Ben & Jerry’s actions did not go far enough.

“By maintaining a presence in Israel, Ben & Jerry’s continues to be complicit in the killing, impDonatebalance of naturerisonment and dispossession of Palestinian people and the flaunting of international law,” said the Vermont group’s Kathy Shapiro, as was reported by the AP.

Time Magazine reported that Ben & Jerry’s, founded in Vermont in 1978, has a history of publicly embracing socially progressive causes, from same-sex marriage to the Black Lives Matter movement. When it was purchased by consumer goods giant Unilever two decades ago, Ben & Jerry’s insisted on keeping its own board and maintaining independence over its social mission and brand integrity.

Ben & Jerry’s took a stand against what it called the Trump administration’s regressive policies by rebranding one of its flavors Pecan Resist in 2018, ahead of midterm elections, as was reported by the AP.

The company said Pecan Resist celebrated activists who were resisting oppression, harmful environmental practices and injustice. The AP reported that as part of the campaign, Ben & Jerry’s said it was giving $25,000 each to four activist entities.

Aida Touma-Sliman, an Israeli lawmaker with the Joint List of Arab parties, wrote on Twitter that Ben and Jerry’s decision Monday was “appropriate and moral.” She added that the “occupied territories are not part of Israel” and that the move is an important step to help pressure the Israeli government to end the occupation.

Some 700,000 Israeli settlers now live in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem.

Israel in recent years has become a partisan issue in Washington, with many Democrats — particularly of the party’s progressive wing — growing increasingly critical over a number of Israeli policies, including settlement construction, and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s close ties with former President Trump, as was reported by the AP. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has been an outspoken critic of Israel.

The AP reported that the BDS movement, a Palestinian-led movement that advocates boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israeli institutions and businesses — applauded Ben & Jerry’s decision as “a decisive step towards ending the company’s complicity in Israel’s occupation and violations of Palestinian rights,” but called upon the company to do more.

“We hope that Ben & Jerry’s has understood that, in harmony with its social justice commitments, there can be no business as usual with apartheid Israel,” a statement read.

The Israeli government says the BDS movement masks a deeper aim of delegitimizing or even destroying the entire country.

On the Tuesday afternoon broadcast of the John Catsimatidis radio talk show on WABC in New York, the supermarket magnate and chairman of the Red Apple Group devoted the first portion of his program to a discussion of the Ben and Jerry’s controversy. Mr. Catsimatidis called the decision of the ice cream company to stop production of their product in Judea and Samaria a “stupid and immoral” one and suggested that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream may be removed from the stores that he owns.

In a statement sent to the media on Tuesday, Rabbi Aryeh Spero, the founder and director of the Conference of Jewish Affairs said that his organization along with millions of Jews worldwide, is “disgusted by the hypocrisy, cowardice, and anti-Semitism displayed by the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream company refusal to sell or produce their ice cream in the Jewish sections of Jerusalem and neighborhoods in the biblical regions of Judea and Samaria.

“Ben and Jerry’s has now become a leader of the boycott and disinvestment campaign against Israel, though Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and the only country in that entire region focused on preserving human rights and dignity. Singling out the Jewish people or the Jewish nation for boycott and disinvestment is blatant anti-Semitism and not social justice.

“What can be more hypocritical than a company such as Ben and Jerry’s producing and distributing its product in dozens of countries where there is no democracy, where people are killed because of their Jewish or Christian faith, and people are oppressed because of their differences, yet boycotting Israel due to a political matter, one which Israel consistently tries to resolve but is rebuffed.”

Rabbi Spero added: “Ben and Jerry’s sells in countless Muslim countries where Jews are consigned to second class and inferior status, prohibited from settlement and worship, yet Ben and Jerry’s sells and produces their products in these countries. They also produce and sell in communist countries where human rights are violated daily.

“Ben and Jerry’s punishment and ostracizing of Jews living in areas the Muslim world considers off-limits to Jews is an acquiescence to the terrible anti-Jewish theory called judenrein, namely that an area formally be free of Jews. Is that Ben and Jerry’s idea of social justice?

“Ben and Jerry’s acts of hypocrisy,” added Rabbi Spero, ‘and willful assault against Israel is a capitulation to Hamas, and to the “woke” world which is becoming more anti-Jewish by the day. Ben and Jerry’s announcement will go down as a day of infamy in the food industry.”

I love hand lettering bible verses. This one could use a redo, but it’s okay…

This is what became of the horses. I like it. I’m not a very big horse person, so I didn’t really know what a horse really looks like…

This was extremely fast and simple, but I like that🙂 it was a quick hand lettering practice.

This is a line from the song from Charlie Brown, “Christmas time is here”. I’m just now realizing that I didn’t finish this! 😬

Well, that’s all the Art for now, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope y’all have a wonderful day! Bye! ~theJunebugblog

Neodymium Compact flash card hard drive
Periodic Table Poster   My periodic table poster is now available!Periodic Table PosterPeriodic Table PosterPeriodic Table Poster
3D3DCompact flash card hard drive.
This is just crazy. When I first heard about these things my jaw literally dropped (not literally). They are obsolete now, having been hopelessly beaten by solid state flash memory, but in their day they were the highest capacity compact memory cards available, up to 8GB by 2008 (by which time 64GB flash memory cards were available).
And they are mechanical hard disk drives. Let me remind you of the dimensions of a compact flash card (type II): 1.4" x 1.7" x 0.2" (36.4mm x 42.8mm x 5mm). The platter in this drive is about 1" (2.5cm) in diameter. It's just crazy small. There's an electric motor spinning the platter, an electro-magnet that moves the read-write heads back and forth, the whole works, plus of course all the control and interface electronics, packing into no space.
I stand in awe of this device.
The platters are aluminum, the electronics are silicon, the wiring is copper, the magnets are neodymium iron boron, and the magnetic coating is iron and cobalt based.

The Best Weight Loss Diets

The 4 BEST DIETS For Weight Loss That I’ve Used

Looking for the best diets based off of personal experience? Good…because I’m going to start this one off with saying that there is no perfect diet! Everyone is different and overtime one diet that you really liked, you might end up hating.

When looking for the best diet for yourself, you need to have an open mind and not be scared to try new things if something isn’t working out.

The biggest thing you can do wrong in this game is to not know how to accept failing. You’re gonna screw up and the quicker you learn to screw up and move on, the quicker you’ll reach your goals.

With that said, here are the best diets for weight loss that I’ve tried.

Best Diets: Intermittent Fasting Diet

This was the first “real” diet that ever worked for me and still works for me to this day. Seriously, before I tried this I just couldn’t get super lean and then BOOM, it was way easier.

Intermittent fasting is where you don’t eat for a set number of hours a day, also known as fasting. My fasting split is almost always either 16 or 20 hours. I break my fast for the remaining time.

This means I’ll be eating for either 8 or 4 hours that day.

The goal with intermittent fasting is to get all of your calories in that 8 or 4 hour block (or however long your eating block is). Since you’re only eating for a few hours a day you get to eat a ton of calories in a short amount of time. I love eating bigger portions so that’s my favorite thing about this diet.

Another couple things I like about IF? I always tend to have way more energy despite not eating first thing in the morning. I also feel like I save a ton of time not having to eat throughout the day.

The first maybe 2 or 3 days of intermittent fasting is somewhat hard but after that you adjust and it’s a breeze.

Best Diets: If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM Diet)

I’ve never been one to follow a strict meal plan, it’s just not enjoyable at all for me. Bland chicken with broccoli and rice multiple times a day? No thanks, I’d rather wear a swim shirt year round.

Being able to eat what I want in moderation, when I want is what works for me and that’s what IIFYM allows you to do. Selecting my meals as I go, especially when I’m traveling, is another huge benefit of this method of dieting.

The best part? This diet is super easy to follow because of technology nowadays. There’s about 1,000 apps out there (search calorie tracker in any app store) that can do all the work for you, no more pen and paper. Yes, I actually used to use pen and paper to track everything!

All you have to do for this one is to figure out how many calories you need to be eating. You can easily do this with an online calculator like this one. Once you figure your calories out, find out what kind of macro split you want to do.

The 40/30/30 split is a good example and pretty common. This means 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

If you need to be eating 2,000 calories a day that would be 800 calories in carbs (1g of carb = 4 calories), 600 calories in protein (1g of protein = 4 calories), and 600 calories in fat (1g of fat = 9 calories).

As you understand the diet more you can change your split up daily or weekly and when you really understand it you probably won’t even need a calculator.

Flexibility is a huge bonus with this one

Best Diets: Your Standard Diet

I don’t think there’s a real name for this one, hence the standard diet name. You could also call it a meal prep diet or in my opinion…a really boring diet.

Having just mentioned above that I’d rather wear a swim shirt than eat the same thing over and over again, if you’re someone who likes routine and to keep things simple, this type of diet is always a safe bet. Its worked for me and millions of other people for decades now.

All you do for this diet is prep a bunch of meals each week and that’s it, you’re good to go. What you want to focus on with these meals is to make your portions smaller and make smarter choices.

Have a vegetable, some fruit, 4-6 ounces of a grilled protein, and a quality carb like a sweet potato or some quinoa. Don’t use tons of sauces or oils and as the weeks go on make your portions a bit smaller and/or use less sauces/oils.

There’s no need to calorie count with this one and you’ll always have something prepped.

Although this method of dieting isn’t my cup of tea anymore, it works, it’s easy, and some people prefer a diet that takes a little bit more discipline.

Best Diets: Low Carb Diet or Keto Diet

If you’re doing a keto diet, you’re doing a low carb diet but if you’re doing a low carb diet you’re not always doing a keto diet.

There’s no real guideline to what low carb is so low carb to some could be 100 grams of carbs which means you’re not doing keto since keto is typically (for most people) less than 50 grams of net carbs per day.

Net carbs are carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols if they’re keto friendly like erythritol.

What you’re also doing with a keto diet is eating a high fat diet so you’re eating cheeses, whole eggs, bacon, 80/20 burgers, the best steak you can buy, avocado, and so on. Sounds delicious, right? Because it is!

The downfall with the keto diet is you’re eating your bacon stacked avocado burger without a bun. Is that always a downfall? NO! A lettuce wrapped burger is just as good in my opinion!

For the past year this diet has been my bread and butter when I’ve needed to drop a few pounds, without the bread obviously.

As for what keto means, it’s short for ketosis which your body enters from going low carb after around 1-3 days. Depending on your body/activity level this could take up to a week)

Ketosis is your body converting fat into compounds known as ketones which can be used as a source of fuel for your body.

To keep this simple, on a standard diet your body will use carbs which break down into glucose. That glucose is used for energy. Without glucose for energy you need to get that fuel from somewhere else.

Fat is now your energy source when you’re in ketosis.

There’s 2 quick ways to tell if you’re in ketosis:

  1. By using a keto test strip like these. They’re super cheap and a pretty good starting point but not always accurate.
  2. You have bad (terrible) breath, also known as keto breath.

Another thing you can do with these best diets is to stack them. For example, incorporate IIFYM with intermittent fasting and things will get even easier. If you don’t like that then keep trying until you find a formula that works great for you!

The Worst Diet

The worst diet I’ve ever done? A low fat diet! Don’t ever do a low fat diet unless you have a GREAT reason to. Going low fat for a long time seriously messed up my hormones and gave me crazy mental fog. It took me over a year to get everything back to normal, no joke!

Fats are super important (I now rarely eat less than 30% fat a day), especially with hormones. Eat them and don’t be scared of them. Eat lots of them.

With all this said, these are the best diets that have worked great for me. Let me know in the comments below what diet or diets have worked best for you and/or maybe some tricks you’ve learned a long the way!

The Oil for Your Lamp

This saying may be better known in military circles, but it is still a principle of logic: when someone threatens you, always take what they say at face value.  Had we done this in the 1930’s, then we could have read “Mein Kampf” and we would have known exactly what Hitler had planned for the world and — maybe — the world would have moved to stop him.  But we did not listen, and those who did refused to take Hitler at his word.  Russia threatened to take America from within.  We did not listen.  In fact, in the 1960’s, we ridiculed those who were trying to get us to take the Soviet threat seriously.  Today we know that every person McCarthy accused of being a Communist actually was a Communist.  What’s more, the Communist agenda has been so thoroughly advanced by the Democrat Party that the Communist…

Unique experience – something interesting to talk about

One of the most connecting elements between artists and their audience is the experience. Let’s put it in another way – most people that listen to music do that because they’re searching for some kind of experience, which helps them to escape their life routine for a length of a song, album or a show. Some are listening to music while commuting, on the train or in their car, some are listening to music at home, while doing other stuff, or preferably while sitting down and focusing on the music experience, or better yet – attending a live show.

The experience listeners have when being exposed to music depends on many small elements that make the big picture: On the level of songwriting – the lyrics and music, how they interact together, have a huge impact on the experience that the listener will have. On the level of performance – The way the band plays, the way the artist sings, and the overall performance value has a lot to do with the experience. On the level of production and engineering – The instrumentation, arrangements, sounds and sonic signature are also contributing to the experience.

Now, that’s not all. How the band or artist looks, how good their show is, how they talk on TV, how they behave on social networks and so on… It never ends.

For a moment, let’s consider today’s “indie” environment: How many artists and bands out there are fighting each other for listeners’ attention? Millions. The sad thing is that the majority of them are writing similar lyrics, melodies and harmonies that were written decades ago by their favorite artists and bands, they all sound the same, play the same, look the same, using the same marketing tricks on Facebook.. You got my point.

So yes, there are listeners and music fans that look for the same experience every time. They mostly find it on Pop music stations and dance clubs everywhere. Again – if you’re looking to do the next radio hit or club banger – this blog can’t help you.

A lot of music fans are looking for a unique experience that in turn will make them feel unique. Then, that same experience might lead them to connect with other fans that look for the same thing. That’s where the unique experience come into play. This unique experience must be clear and defined, and projected in every element I presented earlier (which I will discuss in depth later). This unique experience is crucial in building the artist’s brand, and the one that can’t describe it or just don’t have it is just not interesting enough.

Try to find something unique in your presence, look, talk, writing, playing or show. Enhance it and project it through the other elements as well. Be the first to give the audience such an experience. Anyone who comes to your show will only remember you and talk about you if you give them a unique experience that they never had before with other artists. You actually give them ways to describe you to someone who never heard about you – think along the lines of “Their sound was so unique because they…, their singer is so unique because he is…, then in the middle of the show they suddenly did…, they went on stage doing something I’ve never seen before…, they made everybody in the crowd feel…”. If you “look like… sound like… play like… sound like… and have songs like…”, well, there is nothing extraordinary to talk about, and your show or the song you posted on You Tube might be forgotten after two days.

Can you describe some unique experiences you’ve had while listening to one of your favorite artists, while attending a certain show or while listening to a certain album for the first time?

Which unique experience do you claim to give your audience as an artist? In your songwriting? Performance? Sound? Look? Show? Are you the only one who does that? Are you the first?

  1. Hi Shtik, really pleased to have discovered this blog and will read with interest. Also interested in the emotional connection between artist and audience … and “the experience”! Cheers, Michael!

$126 billion in Chinese exports last month. The number is 25 percent lower than February last year, and is also lower than the 15 percent drop predicted by economists.

Reduced exports, combined with reduced imports ([get_bloginfo]url[/get_bloginfo]/wp-content/themes/8ziwz80qkxvg0yp35mywzx62031/files/business/down 14 percent from last February) and the recent announcement by the Chinese PM that growth in the country would now be a “battle” have economists reassessing China’s status as “the world’s factory” and “the engine of global growth.”

China seems to be both selling and buying less internationally. The Chinese government this year revised its growth target for 2016, reflecting the slowest economic growth in the country in 25 years.

Brixton Rock

Alex Wheatle

Winner of The London Arts Board’s New London Writer’s Award

Brixton Rock

‘Brixton Rock is a pacey document of teenage angst… which is why the pockets of humour… prove to be such a triumph. This is a debut which confirms its author…a pro in prose.’ The Times

‘The story trundles along energetically but the novel’s real strength lies in the dialogue. Wheatle gives us a fascinating snapshot of black English in the early eighties’ Daily Telegraph

‘Alex Wheatle’s narrative is pacey; witty; his characters real and recognisable.’ Linton Kwesi Johnson

‘Alex Wheatle’s Brixton Rock has initiated the debate on how it feels to be a mixed race Briton.’ New Statesman

‘Sharp-edged and sardonically funny, Brixton Rock is Graham Greene for the hip-hop generation – a strong and quirky debut by Alex Wheatle.’ Crime Time

‘Wheatle has a powerful subject which he made into a Brighton Rock for contemporary England, a story about the inner life of a wounded social outcast who is redeemed while being a criminal.’ World Literature Today

‘A great debut novel. Really, really exciting story… Alex Wheatle will be a great writer…brilliant ending.’ Greater London Radio

‘…powerful debut …a real page turner. The mystery and intrigue just keeps on coming as the suspense builds to an explosive ending.’ The Big Issue

‘A powerful first novel… the very best book I have read so far this year…extremely explosive…beautifully descriptive passages which are in a commendable and original style…if you are not thrilled by the book and moved to tears by the final denouncement, you have no right to call yourself a book lover.’ Borough News

‘…an excellent debut… Wheatle’s choice of chapter headings reads like a classic late seventies reggae collection… his prose too is liberally sprinkled with knowing references to Marley lyrics,…you’re going to love this.’ Echoes Magazine

‘Brixton Rock is a funny fast-paced read and shows that Wheatle has definite promise.’ Touch

Set in South London in the 1980s. Brenton Brown is a 16-year-old mixed-race youth who has lived in a children’s home all his life. He has never met his mother and is haunted by her loss. The best thing happens: Brenton is reunited with his mother, Cynthia. And the worst: he falls in love with his beautiful half-sister, Juliet. At the same time, Brenton meets his Nemesis in the shape of Terry Flynn, a killer who scars him for life. Brenton seeks revenge. All this leads to an explosive climax with the troubled teenager struggling to hold on to his sanity.

PAS is the ongoing inability to:

  • Process the painful thoughts and emotions, particularly guilt, grief and anger, which come from one or more terminations.

What Counts As Prophecy? image

What Counts As Prophecy?

It's a Sunday morning meeting in a charismatic church, and a woman comes to the front during the singing time, takes the hand-held microphone, closes her eyes, and begins to speak. "My people: I am calling you to a season of multiplication. Until now, you have been faithful, and you have been growing steadily, but in this new season I am leading you into, you will find yourself multiplying. You are called to fruitfulness, and abundance, and you need to lift your eyes and believe that I am powerful to save, powerful to add to you, powerful to multiply you beyond what you can imagine. I am in the business of multiplication. And I am calling you into a new season, says the Lord." (Fade out).

(Fade in). It’s a Sunday morning in a Presbyterian church, and the minister is preaching from Acts 13:1-3. As he approaches the end of his thirty minute sermon, he applies his message like this: “Brothers and sisters, the word of God, and the book of Acts in particular, is the story of expansion. From Adam being told to be fruitful and multiply, to Abraham being sent as the father of many nations, to Isaiah telling Israel that they were to be a light to the nations, to the early church going from 120 to 3000 to 5000, to Antioch sending Paul and Barnabas in this text here - God’s heart for his people is that they grow, and flourish, and multiply. So for all the challenges we face, and all the opposition we encounter, God’s will is that we continue to preach the gospel, and continue to see people added to us. For the word of God will not return to him void. Amen.”

My assumption is that most readers of this blog, and most people who attend charismatic churches, would be in the habit of calling the first “prophecy” and not the second, even though the speaker is saying almost exactly the same thing in each case. So my question is: why? Or perhaps more specifically: is that because of the prophetic content or because of the prophetic form? Have we got in the habit of regarding things as “prophecy” (or not) because they use (or don’t use) common charismatic identity markers: posture, tone of voice, phraseology, where they come in the meeting, whether they are accompanied by background music, who delivers them, or whatever else? From my limited experience of being around charismatic churches, networks and conferences, I suspect that the answer is yes. And I also suspect that some Presbyterian churches see more prophecy (as biblically understood), and some charismatic churches see less, than we are accustomed to believing.

Any thoughts?

Days of Hell:  Living 24/7 With my Caretaker Under Foot

Be Civilized, Show Compassion

Well, I guess nothing is perfect, and right now the humans seem to be in a pretty dicey predicament.  Seems like Bobby Dylan is right, A Hard Rain’s A Gonna Fall and you all don’t know when it’s going to stop raining.  But I’ve got news for you all:  You will make it (but don’t forgot to wash your paws, ah hands)!

There was this famous anthropologist named Margaret Mead who once said that the first indication of civilization in an ancient culture was the sign that a femur (thighbone) that had been broken had also healed. Because in the animal kingdom if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from bad animals or get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. (And we all know what great hunters cats are!)   Because in order for an animal to survive, they need someone to care for them long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has bound up the wound, carried the person to safety and nursed the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is when civilization starts, this famous human anthropologist said.  I would like to think I’m a civilized kitty, because I’m helping my caretaker through a difficult time.  And she too, is quite civilized as I have lots of food and someone who cares for me.  Perhaps this pandemic will show how civilized we are.

So here’s some advice for you humans:  Be civilized…show compassion.  Remember, the world is coming together, even though the people stay apart.

What Are Earnings and How Are They Determined?

What Are Earnings and How Are They Determined?

Earnings are the financial gains of a company. Earnings per share (EPS) is the measure on which earnings is based. There are two other terms used in accounting namely EBIT and EBITDA for a detailed study of certain aspects of company operations. Both these terms are financial measurements of earnings by companies. They basically give a picture of what a particular company has made in a given year to date. One of the most fundamental aspects of any business is its ability to earn money which ultimately leads to profits for the company.

The basic concept of earning and profit for accounting is that the shareholders of the company have their earnings recognized by the shareholders as they receive dividends or in case of a sale of shares. The earnings are reported on the balance sheet of the company and are recorded on a profit and loss account. The company then reports its earnings, gains and losses on its income statement. In order to obtain an accurate picture of the company’s performance, the balance sheet must be prepared in line with certain principles. The balance sheet should record all the financial transactions of the company such as revenue, expenses, gain/loss, net income, debt and equity, among others.

A company earns and losses depending upon the performance of its equity and capital stock. Earnings per share (EPS) is the most widely used term in accounting because it provides investors a reliable picture of what a company earns and how it earns it. The price of a share of stock may vary from the company shares actual trading price over time. However the EPS is derived from the net income earned by the company during a particular quarter of the year. The EPS figure is then compared to the net income of the company to get a company’s gross profit. In order to get the real picture of a company’s performance, investors need to monitor and track its gross profit along with its net profit.

Industrialization in 19th and 20th century essay

Some groups, such as Cossacks and Pomors, saw that identifying as separate nations was more advantageous, especially given that government sponsorship of ethnic culture specifically catered to minorities only.

We had been brought up to believe in human innocence and even in human perfectibility.

This was plainly stated at the time of the French Revolution and has been reasserted ever since that time, and with increasing plausibility.

What was the Southern Strategy. Work conditions also hurt citizens a lot by causing fatigue and illnesses. Very real factors divide us in very real ways in any era, but electoral-based maps and even county-maps can be misleading as they only show majorities. What I like about him is that he believes what he believes passionately, but with a sense of humility.

Joyce, who spent his adult life on the continent of Europeexpressed in his fiction his sense of the limits and possibilities of the Ireland he had left behind.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. The puddling process produced a structural grade iron at a lower cost than the finery forge. Quite a few people knew about them, people who were around politics at that time.

But Henry Ford had one of the great sayings about history: One of the largest segments of this trade was in cotton textiles, which were purchased in India and sold in Southeast Asia, including the Indonesian archipelago, where spices were purchased for sale to Southeast Asia and Europe.

It is possible, as Jesse Jackson likes to say, to keep hope alive. Many Edwardian novelists were similarly eager to explore the shortcomings of English social life.

For a brief moment, Londonwhich up to that point had been culturally one of the dullest of the European capitals, boasted an avant-garde to rival those of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, even if its leading personality, Ezra Poundand many of its most notable figures were American.

In the UK in there were 20, tons of cast iron produced with charcoal and tons with coke. But it seems to me that Niebuhr has this incredible understanding of the paradigm of the original sin, the fall, that we live in a broken world; but also of this narrative of redemption that there is definitely hope out there, this understanding that there are two prodigal sons, not just one.

The show trials led to the extermination of government officials that came to prominence during the war and bore certain traits of Russian national consciousness. American power can be used morally but it should be used with fear and trembling and we have to be very careful about how we use it.

Under the putting-out system, home-based workers produced under contract to merchant sellers, who often supplied the raw materials.

So that may or may not have any significance. Reinhold inherited from his father this sense of pastoral vocation and a keen interest in social and political affairs. Self and Society in Modern America, which was the winner of a best-book award — the Merle Curti Award in intellectual history — in.

8 Weeks of Intention: Embracing Your Role at Home {Introduction}

Special Note: This article is the introduction to an intentional home series by guest-blogger Davonne Parks, author of Chaos to Clutter-Free. Links will be added below as each new article goes live, so make sure to pin this post and sign up for Time-Warp Wife updates so you won’t miss a thing!

While many dynamics are different for each family, the fact that every woman’s role at home is valuable remains the same. We’re shown over and over again in the Bible just how important wives and mothers are.

The virtuous wife in Proverbs 31 cared for her family and she was blessed and honored because of it. Abigail soothed David’s anger towards her husband Nabal in 1 Samuel 25 and in doing so she saved the lives of many. Mary was an unwed teen girl when she gave birth to a son in a culture that highly valued purity, and in her obedience to God she played a role in forever changing the world.

The Bible also shows us how a woman can tear her house down and bring harm and heartache to her family. Rebekah caused division amongst her sons when she encouraged Jacob to steal Esau’s blessing. The book of Proverbs compares a contentious wife to a continual, annoying drip on a rainy day, and shares that it is better to dwell in the wilderness or the corner of a housetop than it is to share a home with such a woman (Proverbs 21:9; 21:19; 25:24; 27:15).

We also know that Satan wants to break up the Christian family, and that he is seeking to devour us.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” I Peter 5:8-9, NKJV

On the surface, we may think we’re only dealing with a messy house or an uncooperative person, but ultimately any issues we face are outward signs that we are fighting an inward spiritual battle.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:12-13, NKJV

This series, 8 Weeks of Intention: Embracing Your Role at Home isn’t only about home. It’s about embracing where God has placed us. It’s about working through common issues – clutter, messes, bad attitudes, burnout, etc. – so we can become more armed for war.

“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:14-18, NKJV
