'Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks' Captain Zack Shackleton Reveals His Biggest Rival

Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks star Zack Shackleton may not have the biggest boat in the fleet, but he surely has the biggest heart. Shackleton and his partner Daniel Blank own the fishing vessel, Rasta Rocket, and together, the two dominate the Atlantic with their electric energy.
The 29-year-old captain is up against some pretty tough competitors that may just knock his 28-foot boat off the leaderboard. As it turns out, though, Shackleton and his team only fear one unstoppable opponent.
"Our biggest rival is mother nature," the Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks star shared in the show's latest clip. "If we were able to get out as many days as the bigger boats, I'm certain we'd be the leader."

Because Shackleton and Blank's boat is less than 33 feet long, the vessel qualifies as a small craft. So, when the National Weather Service issues a small craft advisory, the Rasta Rocket has to stay back at the dock, missing out on some vital fishing days. Meanwhile, the other Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks stars tend to have boats that range in size from 35 to 48 feet long, the Hot Tuna being the longest.
While Shackleton recognizes this might hold them back from prime fishing opportunities, he also believes in persistence and beating the odds.
"Yeah, we're at a disadvantage on our smaller boat, but no excuses," the Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks underdog said. "We're just as good a tuna fisherman as anybody in this fleet, and we're here to prove it."
'Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks' Star Describes 'Rasta Rocket' Crew as 'Family'
Besides Shackleton and Blank, the Rasta Rocket has three other crew members, and one of them has four legs. Shackleton's dog, Minnie, often accompanies the bright-eyed team on its offshore missions, always in her tiny lifevest or a jacket. This is exactly the kind of friendly atmosphere that her Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks owner likes to encourage on his vessel.
"We're a family, and that's a big part of the Rasta Rocket," Shackleton said. "And I'm super proud of that."
Although, surely at times, Shackleford and Blank don't always see eye-to-eye, as any duo would. Thankfully, though, the two have as great a working relationship as they do a friendship.
"A lot of people say that the worst kind of ship is a partnership, but we've made this thing grow," he shared.
As the Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks season comes to a close, the Rasta Rocket team once again shows its ability to rise to the challenge. Even if they don't place in the top three by the end, they'll still have earned the respect of their competitors.
"We're more determined than any boat in this fleet, and we're looking forward to cracking that top spot this year," the Wicked Tuna star said confidently. "We're a rare breed."

Ok, so we're not quite at that point yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Voice control for TV has been a fast evolving feature on phones and tablets but the move to TVs has been a slower process – until now.
Here's what the TV landscape looks like right now.
Most major TV brands are either using Google Android, Amazon Fire systems, or making their own systems compatible with these two software.
Brands like Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and LG all carry models that use Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa.
These systems not only allow you to control your TV with voice commands, they also open up a new world of functionality that can even extend to other devices in your home.
Voice control is a system where artificial intelligence (AI) uses speech recognition to understand our verbal instructions and to carry them out.
The beauty of advanced AI with speech recognition is that you can talk to it like you would a person.
Speech recognition software works with a range of accents, understands casual conversations, and can handle most common slang. It even learns as you use it, becoming better at understanding you over time.
Today's AI can perform complex multi-part tasks almost instantly, such as finding the highest-rated restaurant within a 5km radius.
LG has voice control through its own speech-recognising AI called ThinQ, as does Samsung with its equivalent – Bixby.
Both of these companies have made their systems compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa to extend their functionality and compatibility with other Google and Amazon devices.
Sony doesn't have its own on-device AI but does produce Android TVs which allow voice control through both Google Assistant and Alexa.
Panasonic has a more round-about method. First, you'll need to invest in a compatible smart speaker. Then you can download the Google Assistant or Alexa apps onto the TV which can be set up to allow voice control through the speaker.
Regardless of how they get there, the end result is the same – the TVs will do what you tell them to do.
Who needs the remote anymore?
Voice commands handle all the usual functions of a remote like changing channels and adjusting volume and brightness.
They also cover fiddly tasks like setting a series to record or having your TV switch automatically to your favourite show when it's on.
But the tech is more than just an upgrade on control, it completely changes the way you navigate content.
With powerful AI handling all your instructions, you have a lot of room to improvise.
You're not limited to naming shows or channels. You can search for content and give commands using information like cast members, scheduling, networks, and program content.
For example: "Put on that superhero movie with Ryan Reynolds and Josh Brolin" is actually something you can say to your TV now.
Once we sat with our eyes glued to the TV. Then they were glued to our smartphones. In 2019, they return to their home screen thanks to the ability of TVs to host voice-controlled applications previously limited or better suited to smartphones.
It looks a lot better on TV, but having to search by typing with the remote is usually more trouble than it's worth. With voice commands, that problem no longer exists, so now you can watch famous people eating hot chicken wings in 4k to your heart's content.
TVs with Amazon or Google technology can interact with other compatible devices in your home, meaning things like lights, speakers and even kitchen appliances can all be controlled with voice commands to your TV.
Yes, you can already do this with smartphones, but what about when you're all comfortable on the couch and realise your phone is charging in another room? First world problem solved.
It's now quickly becoming a question of what can't be done with voice commands than what can.
With all the major players adopting voice command technology, 2019 is shaping up to be the year voice controlled TVs take over the market – and maybe also the world.

Home / Education / Lecture Series / Past Lectures / Past Lectures 2019
Thurs 19 Dec 2019: Critical Mass: Gender Integration in the Canadian Armed Forces
Lecturer: Dr. Robert Engen
Dr. Engen will be presenting a lecture on gender integration in the Canadian Armed Forces. He is the author of two books: Canadians Under Fire: Infantry Effectiveness in the Second World War, and Strangers in Arms: Combat Motivation in the Canadian Army. He is also co-editor of Military Education and the British Empire.
He has had articles published in Canadian Historical Review, Journal of Military, Veterans and Family Health, Canadian Military History, and Canadian Army Journal. He is lead editor of a forthcoming volume on the Canadian experience of combat motivation.
Sat 14 Sept 2019: Dual book launch
Lecturers: Ted Barris and David O'Keefe
Ted Barris launches his 19th book – Rush to Danger: Medics in the Line of Fire – while David O'Keefe unveils his latest book – Seven Days in Hell: Canada's Battle for Normandy and the Rise of the Black Watch Snipers. Both books will be published this fall by HarperCollins Canada.
Barris's 18th book – Dam Busters: Canadian Airmen and the Secret Raid Against Nazi Germany – was awarded the 2018 NORAD Trophy. Barris's latest book pursues the untold story of military medical personnel – military medics, field surgeons, nursing sisters, stretcher-bearers, orderlies, and ambulance drivers who have always disregarded their own well-being in order to save the lives of others on the battlefield. Barris's father was a WWII medic in the U.S. Army and so he threads that story through the middle of his new book.
O'Keefe's first book – One Day in August: The Untold Story Behind Canada's Tragedy at Dieppe – was shortlisted for the Charles Taylor literary prize. O'Keefe's new work about the Black Watch explores one of the most controversial military stories of WWII, involving the Black Watch engagement in Normandy at Verrieres Ridge in July of 1944. It's a story that O'Keefe was destined to tell since he was the Watch's regimental historian and interviewed many of its WWII veterans.
Thurs 25 July 2019 6:30 - 8:30pm: Workshop: Embroidered Postcards
Workshop Leader: Caitlin Thompson
World War I soldiers sent embroidered postcards from France to their loved ones at home. In this workshop, local artist Caitlin Thompson will introduce participants to the history of embroidered postcards. Featured in this summer's exhibitions Keepsakes of Conflict ad Red Cross Quilts, embroidered postcards from WW1 were a connective thread between military and civilian life. In response to these artifacts, each participant will be given a replica of wartime postcard to embellish with stitches learned in a casual group sewing circle.
Caitlin Thompson grew up in rural east-central Alberta and completed her BFA in Sculpture at Red Deer College and The Alberta College of Art + Design (2007). Caitlin moved to Montreal to pursue an MFA in Fibres and Material Practices from Concordia University (2015). She then moved back to Alberta to complete the beneficial cycle of journeying and returning. Her studio practice focuses on the relationship between the act of making and the formation of identity, specifically in embroidery and animation. Caitlin's latest body of work, Panoramada, will be exhibited in Edmonton at the Art Gallery of Alberta's group show Processor: Digital Translations for a Simulated Future this summer.
Thurs 27 June 2019: "Keepsakes of Conflict" Contemporary Craft's Role in Understanding Trench Art
Lecturer: Julia Krueger
Julia Krueger teaches History of Craft at the Alberta University of the Arts. She assisted with the publication and exhibition, Keepsakes of Conflict, Trench Art and other Canadian War-related Craft.
What might it mean to physically and visibly transform a machine-made object meant for the battlefield into a handmade souvenir-type object for the home? Keepsakes of Conflict researcher and craft historian Julia Krueger will explore this question while sharing other insights and stories associated with the exhibition. The presentation will begin with the definition of trench art used by curator Heather Smith and Krueger and continue with a discussion on craft and the handmade. Specific objects included in the show will be used to illustrate important stylistic influences and unique characteristics found within these objects.
Thurs 20 June 2019: The Battle of Waterloo
Lecturer: James Istvanffy
Join us on June 20, 2019, for a lecture with James Istvanffy where he unpacks the battle that led to the defeat one of the greatest generals in history. The Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815 was one of the most decisive battles in history where the French under Napoleon Bonaparte battled British forces under the Duke of Wellington south of Brussels, Belgium.
The hard-fought battle saw the arrival of the Prussian Army under Field Marshal Blucher which greatly tipped the scales against the French. Waterloo was the end of an era - the last major engagement of a long series of wars and over 70 major battles.
Sun 16 June 2019: Sword Making
Lecturer: Robert Pooley
Join us on June 16, 2019, for a Lecture by world renowned sword maker Robert Pooley. This is a once in a lifetime event! Treat your Dad for fathers day and let him try his hand at Sabering a bottle of Prosecco.
The Pooley Sword, formed in November 2005, has an outstanding reputation for craftsmanship and has been established as the leading supplier of swords to the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth Nations, and Overseas Defence Forces including Canada.
In August 2005, Wilkinson Sword – distinguished sword makers for over 200 years – ceased trading as sword makers. Robert Pooley, who had been commissioning swords from Wilkinson's for over forty years, purchased from Wilkinson's their drawings, spares and much of their tooling.
This event is only available for people over the age of 18 and a waiver will need to be signed prior to participating. Waivers will be available at the event. Light refreshments will be available.
Thurs 6 June 2019: 75th Anniversary of D-Day
Join us on June 6, 2019, for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day as we commemorate the day with a lecture by James Istvanffy on the greatest amphibious invasion in history.
The discussion will include the Allied and German preparations leading up to the invasion, the main events of June 6, 1944, and the aftermath of the Allied liberation of western Europe from Nazi occupation.
Fri 31 May 2019: D-Day Dodgers
The term "D-Day Dodgers" was coined by Lady Astor, a generally disliked socialite and Member of Parliament, in reference to the troops fighting in the Italian campaign. Despite the negative ring to the name "D-Day Dodgers", the men fought a long arduous campaign to free Italy, enduring up to twice as many casualties in taking the island of Sicily as those that fell on the beaches of Normandy. Not ones to turn the other cheek when slandered, the D-Day Dodgers responded to Lady Astor's remarks through a song which will be played at the event.
The opening night will feature:
The Calgary Crescendo Choir
The Prairie Motor Brigade
The King's Own Calgary Regimental Band
Thurs 2 May 2019: The Empire on the Western Front - Book Launch
Lecturer: Dr. Geoffrey Jackson
When Great Britain and its dominions declared war on Germany in August 1914, they were faced with the formidable challenge of transforming masses of untrained citizen-soldiers at home and abroad into competent, coordinated fighting divisions.
The Empire on the Western Front focuses on the development of two units, Britain's 62nd (2nd West Riding) Division and the Canadian 4th Division, to show how the British Expeditionary Force rose to this challenge.
Geoffrey Jackson follows their development, from their respective genesis through to the end of the war, and all aspects of the division-building process – from leadership and training to discipline and morale. What influence did the senior leadership and the fighting doctrine that shaped training have on the divisions' performance in France? How did internal operations and the divisions' role within the larger corps and armies influence their effectiveness in battle? Did the division-building process differ in Britain and the dominions?
In answering these questions, The Empire on the Western Front examines army formation and operations at the divisional level and ultimately calls into question existing accounts that emphasize the differences between the imperial and dominion armies. This book will appeal to those interested in the development and operations of the dominion armies and the British Expeditionary Force during the Great War.
Thurs 28 Feb 2019: Dark Tourism: Canadian Residential Schools through the European model
Lecturer: Jackie Jansen van Doorn
Dark tourism is not a new concept, although not widely known, in North America. Jackie Jansen van Doorn looked extensively at dark tourism sites throughout Europe with a primary focus on Holocaust sites. She explored how these models could be best applied to residential schools.
Through graduate work at the University of York, United Kingdom, she developed the proposition that the techniques of dark tourism could enable, Canadians to further their knowledge about the atrocities of residential schools and thereby create a more sustainable stride for reconciliation.

NAB Launches Cloud Guild, A Training Program in AWS Skills
Staff Writers / April 12, 2018
Home > Insights > NAB Launches Cloud Guild, A Training Program in AWS Skills
Staff Writers 2018-04-12
NAB has launched the NAB Cloud Guild, a technology training program which will give more than 2000 NAB employees the opportunity to develop skills in cloud computing, working with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The program will provide participants – from beginners to professional developers – with the opportunity to acquire or build their cloud skills, in support of NAB's technology transformation.
Sign up for Which-50's Irregular Insights newsletter
NAB Chief Technology and Operations Officer, Patrick Wright, said the bank is transforming to become simpler and faster – and AWS cloud technology is a critical enabler to NAB's transformation.
"Cloud computing is becoming a dominant technology platform and our people need to have the relevant skills to deliver for our customers," he said.
"Customers are demanding seamless, digital experiences and we need to be ready to deliver."
Graduates will have access to become certified 'AWS Cloud practitioners'. They can also continue training to become an Associate Developer, an Associate Systems Operator or an Associate Architect.
The training will be funded by NAB and run by AWS, and focus on five key areas:
• Architecture
• Developers
• Operations
• Big data
Training programs will be tailored to different competency levels and will run for between three and five days, with additional hands-on experience provided over a three to six month period.
"The battle for technology talent is fierce and we're taking action. We want to create opportunities for our people who want to learn new skills and grow their career in technology – and we want the top talent in the industry to come and join us."
NAB has been focused on reshaping its workforce for the digital future and the NAB Cloud Guild creates a new pathway for employees to develop their skills and capability in technology.
"You can't pick up cloud skills overnight, but if you have the right mindset, a passion for technology and desire to learn – this could open up new horizons in your career," Wright said.
"We have a lot of smart, dedicated and passionate people in our bank – and we want to enable them to build great tech; we will continue to look at ways to develop and diversify skills in our people."
Applications will be open to all NAB employees and applicants will be required to show a passion for learning new things and a basic understanding of technology concepts.
Amazon Web Services Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, Paul Migliorini, said, "AWS is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform and we are pleased to be working with NAB to deliver one of the most significant AWS Cloud training programs in Australia or New Zealand.
"Demand for skills in cloud technologies is increasing. We are delighted to see that through this program, NAB is taking a real leadership position in technical skills development."

I know this isn't new but this is my jam of the moment.
Let me start this post off by saying that I am a complete and total amateur when it comes to hair braiding (cornrows). Just like almost everything else in my life I have the fundamentals down I just haven't mastered making it look pretty. So needless to say when my boyfriend (who I affectionately call Mr. Grumps) and I found out that we were having a girl I had a superficial panic attack wondering what the hell was I gonna do with her hair. If her hair was anything like mine when I was a wee one (massive, light and fluffy) I was in for it! I lucked up because my mom, g-ma and stepmom were all masterful hair braiders and so my hair was always nicely done. One of my pet peeves are beautiful baby girls with messy, unkempt hair and so in an effort not to have my babygirl be one of them I've borrowed my cousin Erica's doll head (who she's affectionately named Destiny) and have been feverishly practicing and trying to master this whole head braiding thing.
On top of my horrible braiding skills is the obstacle of that stupid "U" in the back of babygirl's hair. For those of you who don't know what the "U" is, it's when the hair usually from ear to ear in the back of the head is shorter than the rest of the hair due to the child sleeping on it most of the time. So up top and in the front of her head babygirl has nice healthy, thick but manageable, braidable hair and in the back she has short, crunchy, tough, too short to braid hair. Ugh! What makes it even worse is that I honestly do try with all of my might to make it look nice and neat and then Mr. Grumps comes home and says out of nowhere her hair looks like "who shot John"! Seriously dude? Luckily for me, my mom and g-ma see my efforts and my frustrations so they've kind of taken over the hair situtation for the time being and all I can say is Thank God because they make miracles happen in the hair department. I'm sure Mr. Grumps is happy about it although he tries to hide it so not to hurt my feelings.
So yesterday I'm blog surfing as I like to do when I should be working and I came across pictures of Jay-Z & Beyonce's daughter Blue Ivy on Necole Bitchie. This is kind of a big deal because they've done a great job thus far of keeping her out of the spotlight. Blue Ivy is about 3 months older than my babygirl and is such a beautiful little one. While viewing pictures of one of the world's most popular babies I couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of relief. Clearly Beyonce knows my struggle and is having the same issues as me.
So for all you parents out there who are like me and have been beating yourself up about your child's wild hair don't be too hard on yourself, Beyonce & Jay-Z are rich and famous and haven't seemed to unlock the secret of taming the mane!
After taking a "break" from the spotlight Beyonce came back with a boom. First with the Superbowl Halftime Show, singing at the Inauguration and then with her documentary "Life is But a Dream" then on to announce her Mrs. Carter tour, so it was only fitting to think that her first single since being on hiatus would be a banger. Although, I must admit that I'm a sucker for some Houston style chopped and screwed beats me no likee. What do you think? Check it out….
If you style watch like me you've noticed an emergence of leather sweatpants. As a lover of pants d'sweat I am all about this look.
All I've got to say is I looky and I likey. Now if only I could find somewhere other than the grocery store and laundry room (hashtag new mommy)to rock them without getting side eyes and furrowed brows.
What are your thoughts? Yay or Nay on sweatpants of leather?
Saturday night I watched Beyonce's HBO documentary Life is but a Dream. In the times of social media, oversaturation and celebs being part of the news I think she's mastered being elusive or as she called it "mystique", wise decision to show this documentary and become a little more personable and show a little more of herself to her fans.
I give props where props are due and it was awesome to see a strong woman run her career wisely, assertively and knowledgeably all while being feminine and dealing with the punches that life sometimes throws. In her own words Life is but a Dream showed us how "we're smart enough to make these millions, strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business".


Calcarenite Series is a project intimately linked to nature, materials and traditions of my motherland, Salento, southern Italy.
The term "Calcareniti of Salento" encompass all those Plio-Pleistocene calcarenitic sediments known under the generic and improper name of "tufi". Usally they are found in the form of calcareniti or bioclastic limestones, medium fine-grained, colored from light gray to reddish, often porous and rich in microfossils of marine origin.
The area of Salento peninsula, since prehistoric times, has witnessed the growth in size and number of scattered through the territory quarries involved in the extraction of limestone. They appear as a typical open quarry, very similar to an amphitheater within which the material is directly cut into rectangular blocks of various sizes. Limestone is a traditional material, mainly used for small-sized construction works, being rather tender, unresistant to compression and very porous.
Currently most of the quarries are inactive although acting a pitiful role in major environmental everyday disasters being frequently used as sites of illegal dumping. The old disused quarry, near the town where I grew up, has always exercised a strong attraction over me. Such a wild place to explore. During one of my recent explorations I found some material for a potential project: heaps of blocks of limestone, waste material from the old mining.
At the beginning of the project I looked for suitable material, basing my choices on the aesthetic qualities of the surfaces and mainly relying on instinct to imagine and foresee the future shapes of objects from the raw material.
Selected materials then inspired me forms, gestures, and tools. Every single item has been carved using traditional techniques and tools: a hammer, a chisel, a saw, a rasp and lots of patience. I found necessary to approach primitively, in the sense of instinctive, no separation between what you think and what you do, and I instructed myself while trying and experimenting.
All the pieces of the collection are characterized by a strong color contrast between the external "scab" and material came to light after processing. I thought it was appropriate to highlight these contrasts by applying a layer of white plaster or lime on some surfaces both for functional purposes and to facilitate the reading of the objects.
I was fascinated by the beauty of the material, observing how time and climate exposure could have shaped such chromatic changes and natural textures on the surface of the blocks. I noticed indeed that the arrangement of the blocks in the piles leads to different exposures to the elements for the material determining thus different levels of oxidation and formation of mosses and lichens on every single block.
The pieces in the collection Calcarenite Series, with their strong physical and intrinsic fragility, express man's need for a more meaningful and deep relationship with the Earth and the elements, establishing a tactile bridge toward the past, in a dimension where this becomes useful because gets present and alive. They dust off the archetype of the cave, both landscape and home, a primeval environment site with endless possibilities where the borders between the spaces seem uncertain and ambiguous giving birth to beautiful example of "interior landscapes".

A: Looks like the API call is using certificate pinning security policy.
When the certificate pinning fails the data task will return with NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled.
Check the ServerTrustPolicy.certificates() and see that it's returning a valid certificate data - usually it automatically load any certificates that are in the SAME bundle.
If not make sure to load it manually

Coming to you in our next issue; information on some of the biggest events and moments from the upcoming month. Every month, I will continue to do the best job that I can to make your reading experience enjoyable. The new season begins for everyonea€™s favorite offbeat work buddy comedy from TBS is back on April 4th. A new thriller that takes you inside the world of crime and intrigue and shows you just how far one woman will go to protect her family. Based in part by the book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin this film was adapted for the screen by the creative screenplay from Tony Kusherner. Steven Spielberg helmed his long-in-the-making biopic of Abraham Lincoln for DreamWorks and Touchstone Pictures. Based on the autobiographical writings of California-based journalist and poet Mark Oa€™Brien, tells the story of a man confined to an iron lung who is determined at age 38 to lose his virginity and study the inner workings of sexual mechanisms through scientific research.
The ensemble cast included: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Zach Braff, Mila Kunis, Bruce Campbell, Bill Cobbs, and Tony Cox. In the past month, in the pages of Batman Incorporated, Damian Wayne, Robin died a heroically in Gotham. After the events of the last few months of the Rise of the Third Army that took place over the pages of Green Lantern, Green Lantern: New Guardians, Red Lanterns, and Green Lantern Corps, the next Green Lantern-centric story-arc started with the Wrath of the First Green Lantern. An epic, destiny-fueled adventures began here with the beginning of Wrath of the First Lantern.
Tony Bedard and Aaron Kuder were the creative team behind the latest adventure of Kyle Rayner as this Green Lantern had mastered the emotional spectrum. Peter Milligan and Miguel Sepulveda were the creative team behind the fourth chapter of Wrath of the First Lantern.
Richard Castlea€™s Storm Season reunites the lauded writing duo of Brian Michael Bendis and Kelly Sue DeConnick for their second Castle story.
The Championship match on the Womena€™s side at Indians Wells, on March 17th was between #2 seeded, Maria Sharapova and #8 seeded, Caroline Wozniacki. The Championship match on the Mena€™s side at Indians Wells, on March 17th was between #5 seeded, Rafael Nadal and #7 seeded, Juan Martin Del Potro.
The Championship match on the Womena€™s side at Miami, on March 30th was between #3 seeded, Maria Sharapova and #1 seeded, Serena Williams. The Championship match on the Mena€™s side at Miami, on March 31st was between #3 seeded, David Ferrer against #2 seed, Andy Murray.
The final score of the 2nd and final regular season match-up between UNC & Duke was- 69-53. Meanwhile this month marked plenty of political drama on top of the sequester, 2013 C-PAC conference took place with heavy hitters, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman and Paul Ryan each taking the podium.
March was especially big for the complete chaos that was the Pop Culture world of comic books.
To cap off an incredible month in the DCU: The New 52 management and content shake-ups, on March 19th, writer Andy Diggle went on Twitter and explained to his fans and the press that he has stepped down as writer of Action Comics which he recently was announced as the new ongoing writer of the series starting with the issue in April. From the world of basketball, to politics, to Popes, to tennis, pop culture & comic books a€?March Madnessa€? was never a more appropriate phrase to describe the past month. 2.Marvel announced that on September 4th, it would release the first ever Once Upon A Time OGN HC. 3.DC announced that Superman Unchained #1 would include a 4-page 2-sideded Jim Lee foldout, showing two different sides of The Man of Steel in combat. 6.Guillermo del Toro updates the Justice League Dark adaptation once titled Heaven Sent now going by Dark Universe at #WonderCon 2013. Habemas Papam, a€?We have a pope.a€? And the name of the man to emerge on the balcony in Vatican City is Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina. The church leader that believing Roman Catholics call the a€?successora€? of the apostle Peter and a€?the vicar of Christa€? will go by the name of Pope Francis and is the first non-European pope in modern times, and the first from a developing country.
He was elected by a conclave that overwhelmingly shares the conservative views of Benedict who has held sway as an enforcer of orthodoxy in the Vatican since 1982. As John Allen of the National Catholic Reporter writes, a€?Either John Paul II or Benedict XVI appointed each of the 117 cardinals who will cast a ballot, including 11 Americans, so there will be little ideological clash. Left-of-center media have descended into a feeding frenzy to attack the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) in the wake of its 40th year of hosting a successful gathering for conservative activists.
Isabella Penola, a 15-year-old from the Midwest, is a co-editor at Brumbargera€™s website for conservative high schoolers. In the United States federal budget, the sequester or sequestration refers to budget cuts to particular categories of federal spending that began on March 1, 2013 as an austerity fiscal policy. The cuts are split evenly (by dollar amounts) between the defense and non-defense categories. Over the 2014a€"2023 period, the sequester would reduce planned spending outlays[note 2] by $995 billion with interest savings of $228 billion or a total of over $1.2 trillion in debt reduction. Check back next month for plenty more details on the above information and more about overall first impressions as the fall season less than a week old. It was a month filled with announcements by the major networks and some notable cable series. As for the pilots ordered from the last few weeks they include: ABC announced it signed Rebel Wilson to star in the ensemble comedy, Super Fun Night. The momentum for the present church fascination with a€?Leadershipa€™ dates back nearly 20 years. Throughout this long and very subtle piece of story telling I have been struck by parallels to our present context and at the risk of generalising I offer just a few to invite discussion. This corner of scripture well mined by writers and speakers on a€?Christian leadershipa€™ but the focus is to easily over-personalised and lifted from the complex hinterland that is its context. The unfolding story of Samuel, Saul and David is told against the background of an uncertain nation, competing power groups, issues of Yahweh, faith and theology. It did not start with a proposal from a strategic review group in the way that it might today. In fairly rapid succession the faces of a number of well-known leaders are projected onto the screen.
A community reveals its own face in the image its projects, for good or ill, onto those it asks to lead them. The task of developing leadership will never be effective unless it sits within the task of developing community. So we should not be surprised if the story struggles to find a theological outcome - which it does throughout.
And in any case wasna€™t Israel supposed to be a sign of a different way among the nations?
Leadership theorists have long noted how Western approaches to leadership are essentially a€?Heroica€™ in mode a€" great men (and just occasionally women) who rise to the fore in times of crisis.
But notice that by definition a€?Heroic Leadershipa€™ actually requires everyone else to be helpless. Here the conviction is that leadership is not something imported from outside but is found within, and is an expression of, the whole community. These insights feature in the more reflective approaches to clergy leadership training around the country. It is interesting to note that the only passage in the Torah to mention Kingship in Israel addresses the same concerns and teaches a very similar vision for community based leadership. Brueggemann suggests that reading the Bible for insights into leadership and ministry involves a continual reflection on the complex and uneven relationship between power, providence and personality (2000) and he uses the Samuel narrative to illustrate this. The Samuel narrative warns us that a€?Leadershipa€™ that pursued for pragmatic outcomes a€" growth, results, significance - rather than rooted deeply in the utter priority of Yahweh and his ways, is dangerous. Providence is a€?the hidden, patient, sovereign enactment of Goda€™s overriding purpose beyond the will and choice of human agentsa€™ (1990 p15). Personality and appearance is a recurrent distraction in the Samuel narratives when it comes to choosing leaders.
Popular Christian approaches to leadership find a€?The Heroica€™ as hard to resist as the rest.
We find ourselves drawn into a reflective narrative that invites us to circle around what we read, to come to the drama from different angles, to question the text itself - both what it implies or hints at and what it claims.
The style is contemplative rather than didactic, reflective rather than prescriptive, participative rather than directive. Robert Alter, The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel, W W Norton, 1999. Walter Brueggemann Power, Providence and Personality - Biblical insights into life and ministry, Westminster John Knox, 1990b. The momentum for the present church fascination with a€?Leadershipa€™ dates back nearly 20 years.A It followed revolutions in leadership theory in the business world. The task of developing leadership will never be effective unless it sits within the task ofA developing community. Leadership theorists have long noted how Western approaches to leadership are essentially a€?Heroica€™ in modeA a€" great men (and just occasionally women) who rise to the fore in times of crisis.
Here the conviction is that leadership is not something imported from outside but is found within, and is an expression of, the whole community.A So the language is of a€?shared leadershipa€™, a€?leadership in communitya€™, a€?servant leadershipa€™.
These insights feature in the more reflective approaches to clergy leadership training around the country.A But the widespread frustration expressed on these courses is that diocesan leadership styles have yet to embrace the same insights and all too often remain entrenched in more hierarchy and patronage. Walter Brueggemann Power, Providence and Personality -A Biblical insights into life and ministry, Westminster John Knox, 1990b. Do you remember the story in the Bible about the businessman who went searching for the most priceless gem in the world? Nevertheless, we still tend to sympathize with Lot in his frustrated attempts to hold the reins on his unregenerate wife and children. Nowhere in the Bible does God give the slightest tolerance for men to modify His revealed will.
Nadab and Abihu were not guilty of any rebellious defiance of their faith in other areas of their religious office. How can people become so blind and deceived that they feel securely saved while willfully breaking God's commandments? Have you noticed that in the stories of Nadab, Abihu, and Uzzah the seemingly slight offense had to do with things God had set apart for sacred use?
The tithe is something else which has been separated by the Word of God for a special, sacred purpose.
Some people are horrified to read about the judgments which fell upon Uzzah when he touched the ark of God and upon Lot's wife when she simply turned her head. No wonder, then, that Lot's wife suffered the same terrible consequences as all others who trifled with the word of a holy God.
The same issues which precipitated the dramatic showdown in Sodom are leavening the Christian churches at almost every level. The story of Lot and his family proves that God will not long tolerate a double lifestyle on the part of His professed people.

Rowling announced the recent ebook release of Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In the vein of Netflix House of Cards, it would launch original TV shows starting with Alpha House, a political series starring John Goodman; and the comedy- Onion News Empire starring Jeffrey Tambor. Kristen Bell has voiced her excitement about the possibility to return to playing the title character of the fictional detective that made her a breakout star. See what these four guys are up to when this show returns to the post-March Madness-less NCAA TBS primetime schedule. Meet Marta Walraven (played by Radha Mitchell) a suburban housewife who is living the good life in Northern California.
Daniel Day-Lewis portrayed the former head of state in the Tony Kushner-penned adaptation of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals, which chronicles the President's time in office between 1861 and 1865 as he dealt with personal demons and politics during the Civil War.
Russell, this film had an astonishing ensemble cast which included: Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Jacki Weaver, Julia Stiles, Chris Tucker and Robert De Niro. With the help of his therapists and the guidance of his priest, he sets out to make his dream a reality. A small-time magician arrives in an enchanted land and is forced to decide if he will be a good man or a great one. Now this title shifts its theme (not name) in the next five issues starting with this issue and it is a Batman team-up book. The threat that first led to the formation of the Guardians of the Universe returns, and hea€™s set his sights on the biggest and brightest of the Corps. In this issue, Atrocious and his Red Lanterns seek final vengeance against the Guardian of OA, but things do not go as planned. In this adaptation of Richard Castlea€™s second Derrick Strom novel, the private investigation is hired to help a wealthy woman get back the money she lost to a con artist, but what should have been routine mission quickly spirals out of control when the con artist reaches out to Storm seeking his help finding a missing woman. Emanuela Lupacchino supplied artwork for this new tale of the hit ABC drama fictionalized character Derrick Storm. The overall #1 seed went to Louisville (Midwest Region), the other #1 seeds followed in order: Kansas (South Region), Indiana (East Region) and Gonzaga (West Region). Sharapova beat Wozniacki in straight sets to capture her first Championship trophy of 2013. Williams won her 6th Championship trophy in front of her a€?hometowna€? fans with a final score of: 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. The Blue Devils swept the season series against the Tar Heels after winning this game at UNC.
On the heels of NCAA Mena€™s Basketball tournament, March Madness, Duke faced off against UNC. The first part of the month belonged to California where in Indian Wells Maria Sharapova claimed another championship. Another story made its own headlines on the other side of the political Aisle was that in the middle of the month the infamous video from a closed door Boca Raton fundraiser during the 2012 Presidential Campaign for Mitt Romney, a€?47%a€? comments came forth and revealed himself to the country as the person who recorded those comments. Between the Emerald City Comic Convention, news came out that Geoff Johns would be leaving his tenure on Green Lantern, his long running DC title, and a flagship book of DCU: The New 52. For details on this, check below for some highlights from the first day of the event that was not complete as of press time. DC was caught by surprise because it already went to press with a five-page Action Comics preview in the back of its weekly books in March to showcase the new creative team, which also included Tony S.
Coming soon, Entertainment & Press is developing a Twitter themed section that just kicked off in the pages of this very issue. This will tie into the in-continuity series of the hit ABC fairytale adventure show, Once Upon A Time. The much-awaited choice is something of a surprise, as the new pope was not foreshadowed prominently on the short lists of various experts, though the 76-year old was said to be the runner-up to retiring Pope Benedict in the 2005 conclave.
Like his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI who resigned last month, the first head of the Catholic church to do so in 600 years, Pope Francis is said to be theologically orthodox and socially conservative.
No matter what happens, the church almost certainly won't reverse its bans on abortion, gay marriage or women priests.a€? After all is said and done, a new Pope has emerged. The cuts were enacted by the Budget Control Act of 2011 and initially set to begin on January 1 but that date was postponed by two months by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Some major programs like Social Security, Medicaid, federal pay (including military pay and pensions) and veterans' benefits are exempt.
The blunt nature of the cuts has been criticized, with some favoring more tailored cuts and others arguing for postponement while the economy improves. Below is a majority of the moves made by all sorts of networks including NBC, CBS, The CW, ABC, and FOX. The subject has moved so firmly to centre place of attention, budgets and programs it is hard to remember. No serious diocese or Regional Training Partnership is without its own a€?Clergy Leadership Coursea€™.
It usurped the place of Torah and undermined the vocation and freedom of Goda€™s people by the near irresistible drift towards the despotism.
It is an idea is already embedded in and emerging out of the story and hopes of a community.
Part of the cost of leadership is that it is lived out in the shadow of a peoplea€™s unmet needs, unexpressed anxieties, idealized hopes and ambitions. For a€?Kinga€™ read - a€?CEOsa€™, Appraisal Schemes, HR, a€? best practicea€™, middle managers a€" a€?like they have gota€™? A significant number of clergy on these leadership courses have had previous careers in business or industry. I reflect how often, after the last candidate has come through, there can be a lingering sense of disappointment in the air that someone we hoped for and needed has not turned up. Deuteronomy 17.14-20 anticipates a time when the people will ask for a King on almost identical terms as the Samuel narrative. Its strategies will be insufficiently rooted, he says, in the a€?providential presence and absence of Yahweha€™. Biblical vocation to leadership and the exercising of power starts from a very different place.
We a€?do Goda€™ in the midst of raw and complex human dilemmas, in real and costly engagement within actual history.
And in our media driven age, and in declining institutions, a€?personalitya€™ and appearance are criteria harder than ever to resist.
Our reading of the Bible can be heroic too a€" a text that takes us over, telling us what to do and think. I am grateful to Paul Barrett, friend and former director of SmithKline Beecham for his perspectives on this period of business history.
No serious diocese or Regional Training PartnershipA is without its own a€?Clergy Leadership Coursea€™. Not for the first time the church was thinking the worlda€™s thoughts after it.A British business had long been structured around families or run on military, hierarchical lines. It may be that an institution that chooses its senior leadership through the archaic and secretive system of a€?prefermenta€™ will always struggle with the consultative, collaborative transparency that post-heroic leadership aspires to. We a€?do Goda€™ in the midst of raw and complex human dilemmas, in real and costly engagement within actual history.A Without that context theology becomes a detached piety, a pseudo-innocence feeding on idealized assumptions about God and ourselves. And in our media driven age, and in declining institutions, a€?personalitya€™ and appearance are criteria harder than ever to resist.A When leadership is seduced by the search for reputation, status, ambition, or its own needs we will be missing the tough realities of the seductiveness of power and the hidden theology that shapes us and our story. What does that woman of long ago have to do with people who are watching the closeout of history?
Perhaps a newly baptized family in the church is bubbling with that wonderful first-love experience.
Their vast combined flocks and herds didn't have enough room to graze in such a restricted area, and they had to separate. Quite obviously he did not actually plan to take his family into the urban environment of sinful Sodom. Outside of the home, united with the enemies of God, they lost all faith in the ancestral religion of their childhood and youth. He had much against him, but most of it had been created by his own weakness and indecision. She was so reluctant to leave the fine appointments of her affluent Sodom home that she lingered. God says what He means to say, and He accepts nothing less than full compliance with His commandments.
Often it is asked, "What is the difference between worshiping on the Sabbath and worshiping on Sunday? They never considered refusing to carry out the proper type of offering in the manner prescribed by the Levitical statutes.
In their vain worship, they bowed regularly in prayer, sang songs of praise, and probably never missed a church service. As you see them hurrying about their regular work program, pursuing their own pleasure on the seventh day, there seems to be no remorse for violating the clear command of God. To appropriate that one-tenth for ourselves is actually to steal from the very coffers of God.
You know the story of how those angels visited Abraham and then Lot, telling him that God had tolerated their fence-straddling long enough. Materialism and lukewarmness have placed a mold upon the lifestyle of millions who profess to be followers of truth today. As the True Witness of the Laodicean church, He calls upon this lasta€"day religious remnant to repent. They would linger, and then look back with longing heart upon those things which are forbidden. The book of Revelation foresaw the unholy mixture of Laodicean Christianity which would make God sick on the stomach.
The Bible makes it very clear that willful transgression is the antithesis of spiritual security. Any effort to reconcile God's love, character, or righteousness with a tolerance for sin must end with miserable failure.
In this final fragment of probationary time, have you renounced every competitor of Christ for first place in your heart?
We might abhor the evil and desire deliverance, but there is only one source of strength to break the pattern of sin. Are they merely delivered from the guilt of sin, or do they also receive deliverance from the sin itself?
No one has been delivered from sins of the flesh without receiving that deliverance as a gift through the merits of Christ's suffering and death.
If you've came today during our Pre-Launch phase you have either purchased one of our Reports before or expressed interest. Understand these are Beta Reports and not Fancy but the information stands the test of time.
This is a magazine that highlights key movements from pop culture, politics and other goodness.
The first issue will feature cover artwork from: Joe Benitez, Ardian Syaf, Billy Tan and J. Original creators, Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson will reunite and return for this DC The New 52 themed title. He will complete the story drawn by himself and be credited along the lines of a€?co-plottera€? with Andy Diggle credited for script.
Lee directs this fifth installment that parodies the last number of scary movies from the recent pop culture fodder. The movie, lead actor, and some supporting actor categories are in play along with a nomination for Best Screenplay seems to be in the cards. After a stint in a mental institution, former teacher Pat Solitano moved back in with his parents and tried to reconcile with his ex-wife. Haunted by a recording of the womana€™s scream for help, Storm investigates, and soon discover an international conspiracy reaching further than he ever imagined, perhaps all the way to Clara Strike, a CIA agent the world thinks is dead. The fans in South Beach got their moneya€™s worth with these two great athletic tennis players. The two powerhouses teams each made the grand tournament during a busy Selection Sunday on March 17th.
On the mena€™s side the tennis world was happy to reaffirm how much it missed the prodigal son, when Nadal returned to the U.S. Once Upon A Time: Shadow of the Queen features Queen Regina and an untold tale between her and The Huntsman. He has opposed Argentinaa€™s gay marriage laws, has been fiercely pro-family, and is also known as an advocate for the poor. He said the issue he is mainly concerned with is the persecution of Christians around the world. Her site, RepublicanGirlProbs, grew as an online hub for young people with right-of-center views to congregate and speak truth to power. She said her interests were in discussing a€?why we believe what we believe.a€? She focuses on history and reviving young peoplesa€™ faith in our nationa€™s heritage. The spending reductions are approximately $85.4 billion during fiscal year 2013, with similar cuts for years 2014 through 2021. Cutting edge theological training establishments will have their a€?Leadership studies departmenta€™.
Across the scriptures generally, a€?leadershipa€™ is an idea that sits in tension between the Kingship of Yahweh, His Word and His peoplea€™s story. Then, as now, a€?leadershipa€™ does not exist as a pure theory that comes with a universal adaptor for plugging into any organization or business in a€?needa€™. We have strong expectations and requirements of those who lead us and are blunt in our assessment of those who dona€™t match up. One parish priest described the experience as like being required to live a€?by a script I had not writtena€™. They know very well that what a€?The Churcha€™ is drawing on from outside as examples of a€?best practicea€™ is actually very mixed in practice. Leadership a€?like other nationsa€™, as Samuel pointed out (1Sam810ff), was routinely despotic. This is characterised by a collective abdication from shared responsibility, a culture of blame, fragile relationships and a perversely ambivalent subservience to a€?the powersa€™ while projecting messianic expectations onto those it chooses to a€?rule over thema€™. But beware of coming to narratives such as 1&2 Samuel expecting an unambiguous teaching, with unambiguous characters and unmistakable meaning. Both operated forms of patronage that rewarded loyalty and long service without always a due regard to ability. They know very well that what a€?The Churcha€™ is drawing on from outside as examples of a€?best practicea€™ is actually very mixed in practice.A Alongside a serious commitment to developing in leadership skills there is a right unease with an institution that feels in thrall to and intimidated by secular business theory and language.
As the nephew of Abraham, Lot shared the tremendous faith of his uncle and prayed at Abraham's altar. He would only live in the vicinity, where he could take advantage of the economic opportunities of such a bustling trade capital. They began to look upon Lot as narrow and bigoted and soon expressed their extreme loathing of his half-hearted appeals to establish true worship in their homes. One compromise led to another, until finally he must have become totally demoralized over the rebellion of his worldly family. Her heart and life had been so bound to material things that she could hardly pull away from the accumulated treasures of those finely furnished rooms. The record describes how angels had to take hold of their hands to hurry them out of the doomed city. Some dramatic experiences are recorded in the Scriptures which emphasize this urgent truth. The small matter of the fire was the only command which struck them as frivolous and arbitrary.
Yet tomorrow many of them will be in church, praying, singing, and talking about how much they love Jesus. It also revealed the fact that her heart was still bound up with the affairs of a corrupt, condemned social order. They had reached the limits of their double life, so God faced them with an ultimatum: get out or get in! While the winds of destruction are slowly slipping through the fingers of the four apocalyptic angels who have been holding them back, the professed people of God relax in a carnally secure dreamworld. Just as those heavenly messengers laid down the ultimatum so long ago, we are also being called to leave it all or perish. Multitudes linger in the twilight zone of indecision while the fires of destruction are poised for the annihilation of this world. Christ's substitutionary death at Calvary satisfied the penalty which transgression had placed against every living soul in the world. We are made dead to the world's appeal by looking into the face of our Substitute and Saviour.
Reports touch upon: pop culture, movies, politics, sports, Music, Twit Pictures, comic book conventions, and much more.
We hope you enjoy the new feel of the issue what will become a hotter pop culture melting pot in the months ahead.
Stewart announced he would be taking the hiatus in order to direct his first ever film, currently titled, Rosewater. One of the shows set to launch includes a talk show sports series, Rush Hour hosted by Regis Philbin.
The Cast includes: Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan, Terry Crews, Jerry Oa€™Connell, Tyler Posey, Bow Wow, Molly Shannon, Heather Locklear and Kate Walsh. Things get more challenging when Pat met Tiffany, a mysterious girl with problems of her own.
The downside these newfound powers he had been honing does not help in this issue as he was kidnapped and psychologically tortured by the First Lantern. While all this was going on through the start of spring, the weather patterns around the globe also changed. Romney speaking at a $50,000-a-plate Florida fund-raiser had revealed himself as Scott Prouty, a bartender working at that event. To further deepen the heartbreak of the Emerald Warriora€™s world, DC announced that all of the current creators of the other three Green Lantern sub-themed books would be leaving their respective titles with #20 issues shipping throughout May.
Daniel will take the reigns on the scripts for the remainder of this first story-arc of Action Comics. In church terms, he is seen as a master conciliator who will be adroit at healing many of the rifts and scandals over finances and pedophile priests that have dogged the Vatican in recent years. When asked if she felt out of place in any way at CPAC, she responded by saying a€?The older people stand out more than we do.a€?a€?a€? Benji Backer, a 15-year-old from Wisconsin, said he came to CPAC with a group known as Turning Point USA.
She said a€?Ita€™s great that there are so many young people here.a€? The Breitbart News gathering of these brilliant young minds was put together by Bethany Bowra, the 16-year-old blogger extraordinaire who gave the opening prayer for CPAC. However, total federal outlays will continue to increase by an average of $238.6 billion per year during the next decade, although at a somewhat lesser rate because of the sequester. FOX announced that the 2-part, season finale of American Idol would be May 15th & 16th. And lest all this sounds cynical let me declare that I have benefited from such courses myself and now regularly contribute to their programs. It is a symptom of the longings and needs of an institution facing enormous pressures and working anxiously but bravely with dwindling resources.
In the face of a crisis, The Hero is allowed to suspend all norms of moral behaviour to overcome the problem.
The passage warns against the temptation to identify leadership by outward signs of status (property, wealth, possessions etc).
We have to gloss over those large parts of the Samuel narrative where Yahweh is effectively absent and silent. What we have here is a very different kind of story telling a€" one that invites us to a different way of reading scripture. Events happen, people (or God) do things, but the narrative is very sparing about telling you their motives and feelings.
And the context and the questions today feel very new.A These are thoroughly testing times.
There are obvious parallels with the institutional church a€" the church a€?familya€™ governed under the benevolent patronage of a formal, patriarchal hierarchy.
Robert Alter describes them as a€?one of the most astounding pieces of narrative that has come down to us from the ancient worlda€™ (1999 pix). There is a discernible lack of theological confidence in this engagement and little conviction that the Christian practice and theology might actually inform this process a€" both secular and religious a€" or even transform it. The style is relational, communal, non-directive, collaborative, negotiated.A a€?It is not leadership from any one person that is required, it is an aspect of leadership each of us summons from within. As pressures of conformity and compromise crowd in, the faith gradually erodes and disappears. Those who enter God's kingdom will be there because they wanted eternal life more than anything else in the whole world.
In order to buy that pearl he would have to sell his home, his business, and use every penny of his lifelong savings. When God's call came to get out of Mesopotamia, Lot went right along with Abraham, not knowing where the call might lead. On one side lay the verdant hills with their lofty trees; the other led down into the crowded centers of commerce and trade. Very likely he made special mental reservations about letting his family mingle with the degraded inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.
He moved closer and closer to the cities until finally he actually moved in to dwell with the Sodomites. Then he had to watch with alarm the growing fascination of his family for the perverted lifestyle of their friends and associates. Two sons of the high priest offered strange fire before the Lord, and they died on the spot. In that area alone, they felt justified in making a tiny change that would more easily and smoothly fit into their idea of functional worship. Common hands were not to be laid on the ark and common fire was not to replace the holy fire. That one-seventh of time has been signally blessed and commanded by God for rest and worship. If Eve's simple act of biting the fruit could precipitate six millenniums of planetary suffering and death, surely we dare not measure disobedience in terms of size or appearance. Like Lot's family, they have become comfortable in the society of money markets and a compromised faith.
Some, with senses dulled by worldly compromise, will not even discern the final departure of God's messenger of salvation. The broken law demanded death, and when Jesus suffered that penalty for every man on the cross, a glorious transaction was made.
He almost made it difficult to be lost by declaring an emancipation from the slavery of sin for every person who would receive it. His agape love, revealed at the cross, melts the stubborn will and weans the heart away from every attraction the world can devise. These reports are the effort of over 100 hours of hard work gleaming the very best ideas from the Best Guru's in the fields of marketing, self development, and business. The movie is based on the book, Then They Came For Me: A Familya€™s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival,a€? by Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari. The plot revolves around Jamie, a very attractive lady lawyer who happens to be a Yankee, and Roy, a Southern attorney. Martaa€™s father, her brother, and husband Franklin all make their living through illegal means, and up until now, she has turned a blind eye to this fact. This dramedy had an original plot filled with wonderful chemistry, characters and controlled chaos.
Macy, Annika Marks, Moon Bloodgood and Rhea Perlman star in this r-rated deep-philosophy flick.
This issue played a bit as a€?Ita€™s A Wonderful Life,a€? in an alternate world in which Alex survived and Kyle tired to be with her.
The month started off in The Vatican with the Conclave taking place on March 1st to figure out who will become the next Pope?
From the West coast, to the East coast, by the end of the month the tennis world came together in South Beach for the annual Sony Open tournament. He gave his first public interview and explained his side of those events to the general public. In a year where The Man of Steel is going to be released on the big screen as a summer blockbuster, Superman showed he has his vulnerabilities in its iconic flagship ongoing comic book title, Action Comics.
The conclave appeared to steer away from popular choices like the cardinals of New York and Boston, Timothy Dolan and Sean Oa€™Malley, as well as the local Italian favorite Angelo Scola. He said the group avoids social issues while focusing on fiscal matters and providing space for meetings, speakers, and debates at universities.
Bowra said the most interesting aspect of the young minds here is that they all met over Twitter or other social media, though they live across the country from each other. CBS announced Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Geller have signed on to star in the pilot comedy, Crazy Ones.
They are generally loners, non-consultative and relationally dysfunctional a€" and of course ruggedly and irresistibly handsome. Providence is not trust in a certain preferred outcome so much as a faith that a greater purpose and story is being continually woven into our narrative a€" often unseen and despite all appearances on the surface. One of the honourable qualities in the Anglican tradition is its willingness to draw widely for its learning.
Leadership thus becomes a rather fluid concept focusing on those behaviours which propel the work of the group forward.
But soon the pastor notices that the ardor is beginning to wane a little bit, and the family is no longer excited about their faith. Little by little they lower the standards and compromise the faith, until nothing remains except a dead, empty formalism. The Lord Jesus used Lot's wife as an example of those in the last days who will not be single-minded for the truth; who will love material things more than the things of God. But mark this: The man's desire for that pearl was so deep and compelling that he did not argue about the cost. Together they brought their families to the entering place of the Promised Land and offered their sacrifices of thanksgiving.
She was the type who loved fine things, and the mad whirl of social activities fascinated her from the beginning. Abraham was pre- senting his prayers and sacrifices night and morning for his nephew's family.
God had required that they use only the sacred fire in the sanctuary during their priestly ministry. They reasoned that such a minor deviation in the interests of such a sanctified program could not bring any serious consequences. No one has ever read the slightest inspired intimation that sin should be reduced or diminished. It was a heavy film most of the time but it took plenty of side steps to make light of the subject and themes throughout the plot.
The answer came to the world on Wednesday March 13th when the world greeted Pope Francis, originally an Argentinean Cardinal. McNally, clearly very socially conservative in his own views, saw no issue with being involved with an edgy site or working with others who may have differing social views than the ones he holds. She felt that such a well-organized showing of youth would go a long way to convince older people that young people do have a voice and do matter in the dialogue. CBS announced that Vegas has been moved from Tuesdays 10pm to Fridays 9pm starting April 5th.
But this does presuppose a confident theological framework within which to test, critique and respond to what we are hearing.A That is not always apparent in the present context. The predictable pattern of future tragedy was settled by that early decision to move near those wicked cities. His move was prompted by selfish concern over temporal advantages, and he had no intention of losing anything. All his rationalization about counteracting the wickedness with stricter prayer schedules and family-altar religion just didn't seem to work out as planned. She was soon caught up in the excitement of party rounds of pleasure, and the evidence seems to indicate that she eventually shared much of the materialistic mind-set of the Sodomites.
To them it seemed unreasonable that one fire could not burn sacrifices as well as another fire.
He disobeyed in taking the animals and then tried to justify the disobedience by using the stolen animals in worshiping God.
Indeed, the language of the Master seems to indicate that the whole sordid picture of a dying world was before Him.
Similar strong language was used by Jesus in describing the same condition among the religious leaders of His day. The same perverse practices have become more commonplace and popular than they ever were in the doomed city of the plains. A corporate justification actually was made effective for the entire world, both good and evil.
This is where some of the montha€™s breaking news first gets reported before making it into the pages of the following issue of CBN. The pair of lawyers must struggle to deny their growing physical attraction when they find themselves on opposite sides of a police sex scandal. This film was wonderfully rendered and perfectly set up for plenty of Oscar recognition from top to bottom.
Meanwhile, back in the United States, the dreaded Sequestration was going to take effect if the U.S. That prize went to local hometown resident, Serena Williams who won her 6th Miami trophy making her the most decorated female tennis athlete in the Miami Sony Open tournament history.
From the big names: Palin, Romney, Paul, Perry, and Santorum these names might have been the headliners, but these young individuals are the future of this political party and social media movement. FOX announced that the season finales of Boba€™s Burgers & American Dad would be May 12th.
The vision for leadership here is of non-heroic, and non-hierarchical exercised among and within the community, without a€?exalting himself above other members of the communitya€™ (vs14-20). Some gained cult status and they were undoubtedly a means for rapid transformation in uncertain economic climates. The vision for leadership here is of non-heroic, and non-hierarchical exercised among and within the community, withoutA a€?exalting himself above other members of the communitya€™ (vs14-20). Finally the judgments of God fell upon her, and she became a pillar of salt on the plains of Sodom. He gradually compromised with the environment and watched his children slowly assimilate the ways of their heathen neighbors. We cannot believe that those angel messengers left them without full information concerning the snares of Sodom. Using such human judgment, Nadab and Abihu disobeyed the direct command of the Lord and died.
In the same way, modern church members disobey God by taking the Sabbath for their own use.
Lot, many read magazines more than the Bible, and thus they have only a superficial form of religion. As in the days of Sodom, men would have just one last opportunity to say Yes or No; then it would be over. That is why He demanded that choices be made; but take note that only two alternatives were ever available. The corporate guilt of Adam's descendants was canceled by the corporate justification accorded through the death of Jesus. Through that universal justification the curse of universal condemnation was erased, and Adam's children could be born without bearing the guilt of their father's sin. The next phase was that DC announced its slew of brand new creators of these above titles starting with #21 issues in June.
FOX announced that the 1-hour (each) season finales of The Cleveland Show, The Simpsons & Family Guy would be May 19th respectively. CBS announced Marg Helgenberger has been in the news attaching herself to another pilot called Intelligence. But lest we be tempted to think this is what our Bishops should become we should note that the average life span of these men (as most still are) is around two years (1). To his surprise, he discovers that they still believe as much as ever, but they have lost their love for the truth.
Immediately and eagerly he hurried away, sold everything he had, and brought the money back to buy the gem from the owners. They did not understand the seriousness of violating the sanctity of that which God had set apart for a holy use.
Then they do like Saul and try to justify their disobedience by worshiping God in the name of what they have stolen. As Marta digs into this dark underworld, she will test her own strength, relying on her resourcefulness, determination and family ties like never before.
In the church the attraction to a€?leadershipa€™ also coincided with the decision to ordain women as priests. The pearl, of course, represents eternal life, and those who desire it must be prepared to invest everything they have in order to obtain it. They linger until the world holds them with bands of steel and the voice of God dimly fades away. Lot, they linger around the edges of sina€"make no strong decision to go all the way in obedience to God.
There must be a willingness to deny self and cut away from the abominations of the flesh in every form. If you see this film, the only way to full embrace yourself in the world of Oz and what the director envisioned is to spend the extra cash and watch it through the 3D glasses lens. Bernard Chang would be the new artist on Green Lantern Corps, and that DC would launch a 5th GL-centric title, LarFleeze, the Orange Lantern from Keith Giffen and Scott Kolins. Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin and Catwoman each had a tie-in to this overall theme for the month. So, whatever the intention, at the very moment women began to minister in full, priestly partnership with men in the church the task was renamed and redefined by a noun borrowed from organizational worlds habitually dominated by men. Our only hope is to move quickly in separating from the evil attachments of a corrupt society. The next chapter of this tale was that towards the end of the month, Joshua Hale Fialkov surprised everyone when he went on social media to share that he was walking away from writing Green Lantern Corps & Red Lanterns (even before these books were released) due to the equivalent of creative differences by management. She disobeyed the commandment of the Lord, and her judgment underlines the urgency of obedience. The Green Lantern mythology was shaken, but DC came back with the final chapter of this current saga, when the company announced that Joshua Hale Fialkov would be succeeded by Charles Soule on Red Lanterns. NBC announced it would move Smash from its Tuesday 10pm timeslot to Saturday nights starting on April 6th. Observing a counterfeit day derived from the pagan worship of the sun is no more acceptable to God than Saul's prize-winning sheep and cattle. Viewers will not want to learn answers to the questions that this pilot posed to its audience. He is not honored by disobedience, and He is especially offended by the breaking of His commandments in the name of worship.

"Spanish media in this country should retreat to a corner, think for a while, find its own path, reinvent itself and come out stronger. In my opinion, Hispanic media properties often are trapped in a net of opportunistic marketers, wrong promotion strategies, selfish editors and no access to capital in order to invest in their properties.
Accepting the challenge, rejecting the token, getting some money and preparing for a fight should be the motto of Hispanic print media and Hispanic media in this country."
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were about 43.7 million U.S. Hispanics aged 2+ as of 2008.

There was a lot of soccer on Spanish-language television last week.

Based on the Nielsen ratings results, advertisers should be very pleased with the big audiences seen practically across the board for soccer.
