Fish Waste for Profit 2019: what you missed on day one
Day one of Fish Waste for Profit
Here is the official round-up of day one of Fish Waste for Profit 2019 with details of what you missed during our two-day packed agenda.
Chaired by the Iceland Ocean Cluster's Thór Sigfússon, the Fish Waste for Profit conference in Reykjavík got off to a flying start with a few home truths to get the ball rolling on Wednesday 10th April 2019.
The conference began with a keynote address from Hörður Kristinsson, chief science and innovation officer at Matís, who noted that while an estimated 8% of fish is lost in discards, the genuinely startling figure is the estimated 35% waste rate at consumer level.
"Food waste is one of the biggest challenges," he said before commenting that real advances are being made in utilising by-production, such as the work being done with 3D printing technology to make food products such as a cod castle, made with cod production offcuts.
"I'm amazed at the money that's available for R&D in Iceland, focused on research for the seafood industry," he said. "This is a unique system we have in Iceland."
Following keynotes from Matis and Neil Auchterlonie from IFFO, who covered the future predictions for availability of raw material from byproducts, session one explored the prospects for funding the future of full utilisation.
Húni Jóhannesson, a corporate finance specialist at Arctica Finance kicked off the session with an exploration into the investment opportunities he sees in the byproduct industry.
There are more than sixty companies in Iceland working with by-products. "It's amazing for a small country," said Jóhannesson, examining the way these companies come into existence, and subsequently grow – or not – as well as looking at how successes and failures come about. He commented that frequently those who are pioneers in utilising material that would otherwise become waste are seen as "eccentrics working with smelly garbage," but pointed out that often these are people working with ingenious solutions to complex problems.
"That's the reality. It's important that these 'eccentrics' are there to lead the way. We should support and encourage them," he said.
Sigurdur Bjornsson of Rannis joined Huni on stage with an insight into investing in bioeconomy in Iceland. Following a packed lunch break offering delegates the opportunity to speak with the presenters who had already shared their experiences that morning, session two kicked off with five presentations from Icelandic experts in the reutilisation industry.
Katrín Pétursdóttir of Lýsi has been leading by example for a long time. Lýsi dates back to 1938 and the company has 145 staff – 25 of them working on quality, which highlights the crucial importance placed by the company on quality control and management.
"Everything is used," she said. "That's the way we have done this for twenty years. Nothing is wasted. We have full utilisation of all our raw material, and we extract value from everything."
As a poignant aside, Katrín Pétursdóttir added that Lýsi has also invested in plastic recycling as part of a response to the growing problem of plastic waste.
There's a future in fish leather, according to Gunnsteinn Björnsson of Atlantic Leather, which emerged as an offshoot of a traditional lambskin leather production that found itself short of raw material.
"We started in 1995 and as a business model we were probably far too early," he said.
Today Atlantic Leather is one of only a few companies worldwide producing fish skin leather, and it hasn't been an easy process. Björnsson explained that traditional leather production is geared to temperatures that don't suit fish skin. Atlantic Leather managed to surmount the technical challenges – and is still doing so, even in highly demanding markets such as producing fish leather to hugely strict specifications for cars.
"Things are changing," he said. "Is there a market for this? Definitely. Fish leather is classed as exotic leather, but fish leather will become a normal product."
Lipid Pharmaceuticals, Feel Iceland and Zymetech also presented during this session, providing the audience with insight into how they have grown their businesses and how their innovative and unique products are breaking into international markets.
Day one ended with a session focused on the international applications of the 100% utilisation model. Speakers from Scotland, Ireland, Denmark and Indonesia covered the steps they are taking to ignite the reutilisation industry in their countries.
Stay tuned for more stories including a day-two round-up, an exploration of the technical visit at Haustak, Iceland's largest fish drying facility, and keynote videos.
The presentations and papers from this year's conference will be made available to download at the end of this week. Those who attended will receive a username and password. If you missed the conference, you can buy the download online here.
The team would like to thank all those who attended and spoke at this year's event. It was a pleasure to see a room of almost 100 individuals passionate about 100% utilisation.

The terrorist attack on Muslims by a white supremacist terrorist has resulted into more depression and confusion among the people. It is time to explain this subject critically to eliminate uncertainty about what is happening at the global level in the context of white supremacist terrorism. If decoded and analyzed properly, the signs and symbols involved in this attack are not only mysterious but also provide links about the involvement of those of are benefiting from the war on terrorism and other radical ideologies resulting into the more division among the people. With uncertainty among the masses there is one thing which is plain and clear to the casual eye; that this terrorist attack is an act to incite violence among the Christian and the Muslim world.
Firstly, why would an Australian white supremacist terrorist would go all the way to New Zealand and choose a city named "CHRIST-CHURCH" to attack "MUSLIMS"? There is no coincidence involved here; it was a carefully planned operation to send a clear message to the Muslims. According to the first investigative report by the New Zealand authorities there are no international agencies involved in the attack. But if one carefully and logically raises the question that who will benefit if there is more division and hatred among the Muslims and the Christian countries?

Portman stirs mixed reaction with same-sex marriage reversal
(CNN) - Hours after Republican Sen. Rob Portman announced he reversed his position on same-sex marriage, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he won't second guess Portman but he's not entirely embracing the Ohio senator's change of heart, either.
Portman told CNN's Dana Bash that after his 21-year-old son came out two years ago, he came to the conclusion that same-sex marriage "is something that we should allow people to do."
"To get married, and to have the joy and stability of marriage that I've had for over 26 years," Portman said. "That I want all of my children to have, including our son, who is gay."
Their son, Will, tweeted Friday morning, saying he is "especially proud of my dad today."
Gingrich acknowledged on CNN's "Starting Point" that when an immediate family member reveals that he or she is gay, there are typically three responses.
"You can say I believe my principles so much, I'm kicking you out. You can say I still believe in my principles, but I love you. Or you can say, gee, I love you so much I am changing my principles," Gingrich said. "Rob picked the third path. That's his prerogative."
The former presidential candidate stands by his own belief that a marriage is between a man and a woman, and argued the traditional definition will stay in place "no matter what politicians decide."
"I don't think they have the power to change what is a religiously inspired definition," he aid.
Some on the right applauded the senator's decision. Gregory T. Angelo, executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, said in a statement "if there was any doubt that the conservative logjam on the issue of civil marriage for committed gay and lesbian couples has broken, Senator Portman's support for the freedom to marry has erased it."
"(His) evolution on this issue highlights how personal it is for Americans – whether they're the Junior Senator from Ohio or your next-door neighbor, all Americans have a gay friend, colleague or family member, and understand them to be as deserving as their straight counterparts of the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are the promise of the United States," Angelo continued.
The Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for gay rights, issued a statement saying Portman "made the basic and courageous choice to put parenting before politics."
"When it comes to marriage equality, all Americans are on the same journey toward recognizing our common humanity," Chad Griffin, the group's president, said. "But while 8 in 10 Americans know a gay or lesbian person, it still takes unique courage to speak out publicly for equality.
- CNN's Ashley Killough, Shannon Travis and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

Typical!
Republicans seem to lack the ability to "walk a mile (or even stand) in another person's shoes" when it comes to thinking about social policy. It is the same on anti-poverty efforts or healthcare reform efforts. "Doesn't affect me personally so why should I care about those other people." I know of some conservatives who rhetorically beat up on the poor a lot, then lost their own jobs, applied for unemployment, and STILL keep ragging on on those other people, the "parasites sucking at the govt teat". Total disconnect.
sonnie3
To change his mind because of his son is showing what a waffler he is. If you don't stand for anything you will fall for everything. Portman is a flipflopper because of one person, His son??
The Real Tom Paine
Fair s Fair
You've got Barack Obama and you've got Rob Portman. Both men change their views on the very same topic. One man's "position has evolved" and one is a "flip flopper". Why the difference? Anyone?
The people that understand that your feelings on an issue can change and evolve over time, usually due to personal experience or empathy, will get it and applaud it. Just because the President's views have changed over time, due to knowing people who are gay, does not make his change in position any less valid than Portman's. Considering the fact that Dick Cheney's daughter's sexual oreientation was known when he became Vice-President and no one of any real substance objected to him proves that you can be in favor of Gay Rights and not pay a price, except in the more Neo- Taliban segments of our society. I just applaud Senator Portman for being a good father.
Jeff California
I admire this man and his son for facing the truth and doing it with dignity. As for Mr. Gingrich...I just do not know how he can sit there with such a straight face and talk about traditional marriage. He should be ashamed of himself.
Yeah, let's listen to Newt on marriage: "Marriage is great, especially if you can cheat on your wife and hump a bunch of 16 year olds like I did. Those are real Republican Family Values where you can get to know the family next doors teenage daughter".
Yep, nothing like listening to a Republican talk about values.
Wake up People!
@Fair is Fair.
I would say the difference is President Obama didn't wait until one of his children came out of the closet to change his mind. I feel exactly like the POTUS did. I was raised in a Methodist Church, I sang in the choir and I was always told homosexuality was an abomination. However as I have grown older and experienced massive amounts of discrimination, I have decided I will not discriminate against anyone. I am the judge of nobody. People are people.
Now because of his gay son coming out of the closet he's changing positions on gay anything,pretty pathedic because if this didn't happen he'd be still burning gays at the stake as most sanctumonious republicans still do.And Newt Gingrich the new catholic spokeman for the republican party,the same Newt guilty of how many adultress affairs now speaks as only a sanctumonious hypocrite would from the side of his ignorent ,self righteous mouth,totally pathedic ..But you know posters you expect anything these days especially from the republicans because they bend or change as fast as the day advances and don't be in denile either posters because you've seen that its true and this is another shining example isn't it!!

Savannah Stopover releases detailed schedule: over 100 bands, 11 venues, 3 days (3/5-3/7)
by bill • January 30, 2015
Savannah Stopover released the 3-day indie music festival's detailed schedule earlier today.
Click here to see the detailed schedule. Once again, the festival is using Sched to help passholders plan their experiences. It's easy to sign up and in, and super easy to re-sort the listings by time, venue, etc. Click here if you want to see the whole grid. A mobile app is on the way.
Savannah Stopover also confirmed the list of festival venues:
Abe's On Lincoln (Secret Shows)
Ampersand**
Club One
Congress Street Social Club** (Inside and Outside Stages)
Hang Fire
The Jepson Center For The Arts*
The Jinx
Moon River Beer Garden*
Trinity United Methodist Church*
Trustees Garden*
Wild Wing Cafe @ City Market (2nd Floor)
* all ages
** all ages until 9pm
If you've been to Stopover before, the most interesting addition to the lineup might by the second floor of Wild Wing Cafe in City Market. Wild Wing books a fair number of bands and occasionally has some really interesting acts, but it's not typically the type of indie venue that we cover. But there's a good stage, good sound, and a lot of room up there — and it's really close to other key venues including Club One, The Jinx, Hang Fire, Moon River, and Trinity United Methodist Church.
We've previously talked about how interesting it is to see Trinity as a Stopover venue. Again, great room, great acoustics, and definitely a space that can handle large numbers. It is a church and there will be pews, so it's not your typical rock club — it will be interesting to see how bands and fans negotiate the space. No booze will be allowed in the church, but attendees of shows at Trinity will be able to buy drinks at the Jepson Center across the street, and drinking outdoors from plastic cups is legal around Telfair Square as it is around all of this year's venues. By the way, there are three really strong Trinity headliners that should sound great in that room: Hiss Golden Messenger (3/5), Rocco DeLuca (3/6) and San Fermin (3/7).
The annual band poster exhibition and contest will be held during a special Art On Tap event at the Telfair Museums' Jepson Center for the Arts from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, 3/6.
Six new bands have also been added to the lineup. Sonicbids was used to award Stopover slots to Penicillin Baby (Nashville), Hare and The Hounds (Atlanta), Weather (Brooklyn) and The Kickback (Chicago). Host (formerly Ugly Hussy) from Savannah has been added to the Furious Hooves showcase at Ampersand on Saturday. Justin Collins (Nashville), best known as producer of Deer Tick and others, has a debut album in the works.
UPDATE: Stopover noted that there would be a special guest at Trustees Garden performing just before Southern Culture on the Skids on opening night — that guest has been reveal as Turbo Fruits, an awesome band that we can't wait to see again.
One of our favorite things about Stopover is the chance to wander with no clear plan from venue to venue. If you love live music, it's hard to go wrong even if you don't preview any of the acts or make a schedule for yourself.
But if you do have specific bands or styles in mind, you are going to be faced with some difficult choices.
For example, at 11 p.m. on 3/5, you can see Alanna Royale at The Jinx, Avers at Wild Wing, Cobalt Cranes at Hang Fire, and Hiss Golden Messenger at Trinity. I'd really like to see all four of those bands, but that will likely be impossible (though, maybe, you know?).
On 3/6, the tough choices begin early and continue right through the night, with up to five bands beginning simultaneously. At 7 p.m., for example, there's a secret show, Christopher Paul Stelling, Jack + Eliza, Music Band, and The Prettiots. Yep, I'd like to see all of them too.
That final 12:30 a.m. slot on Friday night is tough one too: All Them Witches and Reptar.
Ditto for Saturday, with touch decisions all day (Savannah's Black Water Choir takes the stage at Ampersand at 2 p.m. for the Furious Hooves showcase, and at 3 p.m. there are five acts performing around town) and night. The final midnight slot on Saturday, 3/7 is a tough one too, with Computer Magic at Club One, Diarrhea Planet at The Jinx, French Horn Rebellion at Hang Fire, and Mothxr at Wild Wing. Meanwhile, Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires will be about halfway through a blistering set at Congress Street Social Club.
We'll have some previews and such over the next month here at hissing lawns, and there will be lots of coverage in Do Savannah and Connect Savannah

Solskjær is raging: Ban him for life!
Saturday's lokalopgør in Manchester between City and United was marred by a spectator, as in the second half of the supposedly fixed abelyde against United's

Indo NewYork
Saturday's lokalopgør in Manchester between City and United was marred by a spectator, as in the second half of the supposedly fixed abelyde against United's brazilian midfielder Fred.
it Stands to the Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the person concerned should be prohibited from ever again to be let in to a football game.
Manchester City were quick to condemn the incident, which circulated a video on social media. The City reports that the club cooperate with the police to identify the follower.
Some persons, who threw the objects down against the Peace, then he should take a corner kick, try the club also to put names on. the Watch the event at the top of the article.
In a statement, writes the Manchester City that "the club has a zero-tolerance policy regarding all forms of discrimination. Any who are found guilty of racist speech, will be excluded from the club for life".
Ole Gunnar Solskjær believes that it would be wrong to punish Manchester City for the spectator's racist behavior. Often it is the clubs who are awarded the harshest penalties in such cases.
"It is not the club's fault. It is his fault. He's been caught on camera, and he should never again be allowed to enter a football stadium. It is unacceptable," says Norwegian on the spectator's behavior.
Manchester City's manager, Pep Guardiola, supporting the club's position and said:
"It's a battle that must be fought every day. Unfortunately it happened in many places and hopefully it doesn't happen again," he says.
In October, a european championship qualifier between Bulgaria and England stopped twice as a result of the racist chants towards English players. And about a year ago, was Raheem Sterling from Manchester City subjected to something similar during a udebanekamp against Chelsea.
"We continue to talk about it every week, and it doesn't stop, unless it will have consequences," says Solskjær.

Anna Triller's Highs & Lows
Injuries Test Shanley Soccer Standout
by Kayley Erlandson
Photography by Friesen Photography
Anna Triller has played soccer for as long as she can remember. One of her first memories of the sport was practicing kicking a ball through cones with her pre-kindergarten teammates.
"I always loved being part of a team," Anna said. "I love experiencing different personalities, working with different people. I also love the physical aspect, the contact. When you're using your hands so much during the day and you have to go to using your feet, it made me push myself to do something differently."
The road through Anna Triller's soccer career has been filled with high points and low points, but several things remain constant: her unwavering ambition and dedication to the game, her devotion to her team, and her gratitude for the supportive people in her life.
Anna joined the girls varsity team at Shanley as an eighth grader, the year the team won the state championship.
"I learned so much from my team that year," Anna said. "As an eighth grader, I was always so nervous, but they were so supportive."
A solid support system is something that Anna has never had to look far for. She quickly names her father as one of her biggest advocates and supporters, both on and off the field.
"He's always helping me be the best person I can be in school, sports and my faith. I'm so thankful for that. My family is definitely a big support system. I have been blessed with the best coaches ever. They've taught me so much. A lot of stuff that's not even related to soccer, like having a better attitude. It has affected me a lot outside of soccer. And of course, my teammates. That's the greatest part about being part of a team, you always have your support system."
As Anna perfected her soccer game, her playing style became drastically different than her calm, laid-back attitude off the field.
"I'm physical for sure, I use my body a lot. The trick is to have a balance between your footwork and your body. If you don't go in with your body, you'll get schooled."
In high school, Anna began managing and practicing with the boys' soccer team to get more practice, and says that there are benefits to playing with each team.
Anna, who is predominantly right-footed, said, "With the girls' team I got stronger with my left foot. There's emphasis on little stuff like that. The boys' team is quicker. I have to rely more on my spacing and play more efficiently. You have to tighten up your own game."
Ambition is clearly something that Anna doesn't lack, but her soccer journey hasn't been without setbacks. She opened up about her experience with ACL tears and their effect on her athletic career.
"I tore my right ACL the summer before my junior year," Anna says. "Someone slid into me. It hurt. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced."
Anna had surgery and went through a grueling six-month recovery process to get back in shape for the upcoming soccer season. She spoke about the difficulty of coming back from a major injury.
"I worked hard," Anna said. "I went back and played my junior year. I had to wear a knee brace. I felt way slower, it hurt, I couldn't shoot as hard, just random things like that. My fitness was awful."
It was at this point in her recovery process that Anna experienced doubts about whether she wanted to continue playing soccer. She decided to push through, and in time, began to heal physically.
"Everything was looking up, I was back to absolutely loving soccer. I felt like myself again," Anna said.
This January, Anna tore her other ACL in the middle of her senior year. Even though she's already had surgery for her most recent ACL tear, Anna says she likely won't get cleared for soccer until the end of the summer or early fall.
After working so hard to get back in shape and strengthen her leg after her first ACL tear, the news was difficult to hear.
"I can't play my senior year of high school," Anna said. "It's so hard."
Anna decided to help manage her soccer team while she undergoes the ACL tear recovery process for the second time, saying that she can "be a positive spirit for them."
Anna is also taking the time to focus on her physical therapy.
"Physical therapy is hard," Anna said. "Some things I do, it does hurt. Today I started jumping. This time around, it's not as painful when I do physical therapy. I know what's coming."
She revels in every little victory during her recovery. "You get excited for stuff that you never thought you'd be excited for. When you walk. Today, when I jumped. When I'll run again."
Anna isn't letting her injury get in the way of her other goals in life, either. She wants to get into NDSU's competitive nursing program and has been taking CNA classes with some of her extra time. She also is learning the violin and recently played the flute in her school's musical production of Cinderella.
How does she stay positive despite major injuries?
"I always tell myself that it's going to get better," Anna said. "No matter how hard it is now, my mom says people have it worse somewhere else. I have the ability to fix it and make it better. It's a little cliché, but I want to live every moment to the fullest."
Anna also has some advice for other athletes who have experienced physical injuries like an ACL tear.
"Do your exercises. Everyone around you is looking out for the best in you. Whatever your doctors say, do it. Whatever your parents say, do it. It's all about staying strong. Don't get discouraged. It gets better."
Anna has committed to North Dakota State University's soccer team for the upcoming fall and plans to redshirt during her freshman year.
She has come a long way from kicking a soccer ball through cones, becoming an ambitious young woman both on and off the field. If her perseverance and positive attitude are any indication, she'll soon be back on the soccer field, stronger than ever. FMSV

We at Vriksha follow the Multiple Intelligence theory. Children are empowered to choose their modality of learning with abundant emphasis on honing their strengths. This method helps children identify their aptitudes and guides them to excel in their chosen area.


We must understand the importance of our reverence to Christ. We come before a holy God.
Jesus is not just a pal or friend or guide, He is our Savior and our Lord (2 Cor. 5:16; Rev. 2-3). A healthy church is all about who Christ is and what He has done. He is not just a Savior and/or best Friend; He gives us life, holds our lives, and will judge our lives. He is the One who overcame life and death for our benefit, and when we seek to run His church our way, we embarrass and dishonor Him and His Way. He has the keys in His hand, as the door to knowing Him and making Him known is only locked from our side. We have no need to fear our future when He is our Light, Guide, and Lord!
This understanding of Who Christ is will help us truly worship Him, and be people who are humble and be a church that, lives a life worthy, that He can use.
One of the central themes of humbleness is if we do not do it, God will. God asks us to "humble yourselves" for the essential reason that if we do not, He will, and when that happens, it may just be too late. If we do not start to reform our churches to be as they were designed and destined to be, then it will be too late. The doors will close just as has already happened in most parts of Europe. The church once flourished there, but apathy and disease took over and now her pews sit empty in the midst of a confused and decadent culture. We cannot just visualize what a healthy church can and should look like; we must act on it to make it happen.
A healthy church is not just a question of believing in Christ, but being filled with the knowledge, of doing what He has called us to do with trust and obedience.
A healthy church is not about our comfort or what we can experience, but about being people of faith and maturity, bearing fruit, and being what we can be for His glory.
If you have spent any time at all observing churches, then you have seen what takes place. And, if you have spent any time in the Scriptures, then you know what Christ has called us to do. Many times, these two are in conflict. I have personally seen the results of what happens when we do, and when we do not follow our Lord, when we do not humble ourselves. So, the choice is up to us; we are given choices in life, options to follow. We can see for ourselves in the church that is worshipping the Lord, caring and loving one another, steeping itself in prayer, and reaching its neighborhood and world for Christ. Conversely, we can see the church that is full of strife and conflict.
The church that has given up its call to be in Christ and substituted it with their own inclinations and agenda results in people leaving the church, bitter and disillusioned. Too many Christians have traded their election of grace for advertisements of hostility, thus they have forgotten the main thing. As a result, the disillusioned world has confused the strife of Christians for the care of the Lord, thus seeing an uncaring God by seeing His uncaring people and leaders.
This stethoscope is used to hear heartbeats from your church devotion, teaching, fellowship, and breaking of bread, which means community and doing it all in love.
What does the stethoscope "hear" from your church?
What is your church devoted to?
What and where is your awe and wonderment?
These will be the questions, and if answered honestly, will be the measuring rod to the health of your church. This passage in Acts gives us the purpose, vision, and call of the Church, both as a whole and individually. Not just a certain church down the street, but your church, and all churches together as one body. The healthy church looks like Acts 2!
This means we look like we are devoted to Christ and His call, we are teaching effectively, we are in fellowship and community with one another, we are forgiving and honoring of one another, and doing all we do in love. We also look like people who are focused on prayer and our growth in Him. It is not just what we look like, it is because we are. And we do this, with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. The healthy church can be your church; perhaps it already is, or maybe it needs to be reformed. So, strive to catch that AWE, that passion and devotion to our Lord and the reason for our being!
Most churches that are failing did not wake up one day and just decide, "Hey, let's fail." They did not start off with "me first" intentions, ignoring our Lord's call.
Here, too, was a process that went from the love and excitement of newlywed bliss to bitterness, criticism, patronizing, defensiveness, and withdrawal, and finally, the decision to end the relationship.
How? By losing focus on Christ. By not being in the Word. By weak and irrelevant teaching with no Bible or application. By leaders who are not growing in the Lord. By tracing trends and not Christ as Lord. By accepting the ways of the world and not His Way?
Are we His sheep? Do we hear His Voice?
If so, do we respond and follow? God calls us to Himself and to love Him and one another with the love of God. God calls us out of our self-love pride that mutes our effectiveness and purpose and changes us so we are effective and purposeful for Him. So, we need to ask ourselves how is my love life? How is our love for our Lord and the response of love we are to have for one another? We are the sheep of the Lord, and He has given us endless love and care. He gives His sheep endless life and abounding fellowship with Him. He gives us His perfection and His protection, gathering us in to the fold of His wings, as a hen calls her chicks. Giving us the confidence and support for us to stay away from the dangers of the world, protecting us from Satan's grasp while we engage the world for Christ. Christ perseveres in us, modeling to us how to persevere in our walk with Him and our call to one another.
Our shepherd desires for us to be true and faithful because He is that way with us. This is our call to be true and faithful in our love, in our care, in our walk, and in our talk.
So, are we hearing the voice of God?
Are we practicing the centrality and supremacy of Christ? Are we? If not, where is the call? What do we need to do to build His kingdom church? As Christ bore witness to the Father, so we are called to bear the care for one another and bring it back to Him. We cannot be as the so-called "expert of the law" and debate whom our neighbor is, thus excusing us from our responsibility. Nor, can we ignore the sheep in our care, ignoring our Lord's call. Yet, so many churches do.
Consider this: how we see others, whether it is a spouse, child, friend, boss, or stranger, will be the measure of how we see our Lord and how seriously we take our faith. What if we were measured by how we see others? What if this is how Christ sees us? Not a very pleasant prospect, is it? Fortunately, grace covers us¾His amazing and loving grace for which we could not venture to do anything to earn it, be acceptable, or receive anything eternal except damnation.
We are to forsake our pride, arrogance, and selfish nature and receive our Lord with joy and eagerness so we can help build His church as He has called us to do!
Remember, the doctrine of Scripture and the call of our Lord will cut "against the grain" of our pride and will. We are fallen, but He will lift us up, as our Lord is our shepherd, guiding us His way and showing us the way of the shepherd, the way of love and care.
Too many Christians only see the church as a consumer entity, which becomes "what I can get out of it." But, are we reciprocating that care or are we just catering to our clique and ourselves? We cannot expect others do be the "doers" while we sit comfortably in a pew. We cannot even expect a return on our investment (money given to the church) for personal gain of some sort. The consumer church will become the demise of the church before Satan even has a chance at it. We can utterly eliminate ourselves and achieve total annihilation without any external help from below. God calls us out of the "consumer" mentality and into His reality. Ask yourself if you only see the church as what it can do for you or what you can get out of it.
We do need to be in a church that will take care of us. It is our attitude and determination that will set us apart to either be fully used by Christ, or sit in a pew for our selfish gain and receive our judgment later. I know I do not want that to be me; do you?
• Churches that are healthy are in line with and in touch with Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD. The leaders and the people have an effectual sense of God's presence and seek Him out of gratitude for who he is and what He has done. Their growing faith and their joyful attitude in life evidences this.
• Unhealthy churches tend not to be interested or centered upon the Lordship and centrality of Christ. They are places of personality, leadership in control for personal agendas, and/or seeking trends contrary to the agenda or call of God's Word.
• Churches that are healthy have leadership that surrenders to the Lordship of Christ and builds their church on His foundation.
• Unhealthy churches tend to have leadership that are prideful and build their church on the foundation of their legacy or personality.

The Relaxation Station
Bobby Dyer March 3, 2019
Recovery is an integral part of fitness, and as members become more educated on this fact, the fitness industry is adapting. Today, more and more clubs are incorporating a number of recovery services, amenities and programs to meet the growing demand.
"Regardless of age, recovery and self-care are important for people to keep up with their busy lives," said Allison Flatley, the CEO of Allison Flatley Consulting. "Older generations viewed recovery as a reward or something special you do on occasion. That has changed. The younger generations see self-care and recovery as necessary."
According to Flatley, recovery classes present a promising opportunity. "Clubs are in a wonderful position to offer recovery services," she said. "Recovery services can be positioned to raise member value, as a revenue generator, or as a club differentiator. Many clubs are adding recovery and creating a new tier of membership, while other clubs are offering recovery services a la carte."
Depending on your facility size and member needs, you may already have the perfect starting point for recovery services at your disposal.
"Most clubs have current services or classes they could make minor adjustments to and re-market as recovery," said Flatley. "For example, clubs with smoothie bars could re-market the service as 'refueling stations' to emphasize nutrition as a solution to recovery."
In fact, transforming underused spaces into recovery areas is an increasingly common trend. "Many clubs are taking existing space and repurposing it for recovery," said Flatley. "Large lobbies or gathering areas can be modified to incorporate recovery services. Racquetball courts or underutilized classroom space can be converted to revenue-generating recovery space. Recovery does not require a lot of space."
Gainesville Health & Fitness in Gainesville, Florida, has committed to building a culture that encourages recovery. It boasts a number of dedicated recovery areas, including a Chill Room, Aquix aquatic area, and J-Bar for post-workout smoothies and light snacks.
A member reads while using a water massage bed.
The Chill Room is a relaxation dream come true, complete with eight HydroMassage beds. "This is a beautiful, quiet space where members can relax as they manage stress and recover from workouts, hectic schedules and everyday life," explained Sheila Gardner, the group fitness director at Gainesville Health & Fitness. "You can walk out feeling like a new person."
The Aquix area, a comprehensive aquatics haven for worn-out exercisers, is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, each of which promote relaxation. "Our Aquix area comes complete with a whirlpool, sauna, steam room, warm and cold therapy pools, and a lap pool," said Gardner.
Like any offering, clubs should carefully evaluate their facilities before implementing recovery programs or services. According to Flatley, this planning should involve two steps.
"The first step is doing an assessment of your club's programs, services and floor plan," said Flatley. "The second step is to determine specific goals around recovery. Depending on the club's business model, the approach may be different."
Recovery can help members' bodies feel rejuvenated after punishing workouts, so it's important for clubs to present a variety of recovery offerings to stress its importance.
"Offering many options to members makes it easy for everyone to choose what is best for them as they discover how important recovery is," added Gardner.
To aid members' recovery or rehabilitation from injuries, Gainesville Health & Fitness offers several recovery-based classes. This includes a five-week program called "Alignment for Strength and Balance," which focuses on correctly aligning and moving the body to prevent injuries.
In addition to teaching the importance of proper technique as a deterrent to injuries, there are several after-workout offerings clubs can incorporate into classes or offer as additional programming.
"Some popular classes include stretching and foam rolling," said Flatley. "Clubs are also adding meditation at the end of classes, or having an entire class focus on mediation to address recovery."
Your club's recovery offerings can also extend beyond the fitness floor. Industry-wide, there are several recovery amenities developing as member needs continue to evolve.
An increasingly prevalent recovery amenity is the water massage bed. "The most common recovery solution I've seen is HydroMassage," said Flatley. "Many clubs — low-cost and high-end — are adding it."
Several other recovery services and amenities are being used to great effect industry-wide, with each club's offerings being determined by its relative facility size, member demographics and fitness programming.
According to Flatley, some of the most commonly used recovery services include cryotherapy, floatation pods, infrared saunas, relaxation pods, barometric pressure systems, LED light therapy and electromagnetic therapy.
Personal trainers are also incorporating more "hands-on" recovery devices as a way to close out training sessions, said Flatley. There are three examples in particular she has seen frequently used, including TheraGun, Hyperice and Myobuddy Massager.
Equipping your club with the most innovative recovery amenities is a great way for members to feel more strongly connected to your club. The more they see a club invested in their wellness, the more likely they are to spend greater time at the facility.
However, according to Gardner, social interaction is just as essential to recovery as whirlpools or massage beds. And as simple as it may sound, having seats available near workout areas can aid in recovery by encouraging members to enjoy each other's company while cooling down.
"I believe our seating areas are also beneficial to recovery," explained Gardner. "Our members can relax at any of our various seating areas throughout the club, socialize and meet with friends after a class or a workout."
Clubs can play a big role in helping members achieve complete wellness by facilitating more social interaction. "Create recovery areas so members have safe, comfortable areas to relax and meet with friends," said Gardner. "Socializing with others is so important to recovery."
Another important recovery service clubs can provide is education. "First, educate members on the importance of recovery, and how it relates to injury and pain prevention," added Gardner. "If our bodies are allowed to recover properly, we can simply function better. The body functions better when it is not constantly broken down from exertion."
Part of that education is stressing the importance of relaxing the body and mind after an intense workout through social interaction, a water massage bed, or a series of yoga stretches.
Education on recovery should also extend to your club staff, said Flatley. "The American Council on Exercise offers a continued education class called 'The 3 R's of Exercise Recovery: Refuel, Roll, Remodel,'" she suggested. "And the Athletics and Fitness Association of America offers 'Exercise: Exploring the Science of Recovery.'"
As your staff becomes more educated about recovery, your members will reap the benefits. When your members can feel more relaxed and rejuvenated upon leaving your facility, they'll come back more frequently and more invigorated.
"Clients who take advantage of recovery services spend more time at the club and have longer membership retention," said Flatley. "Clients and members report recovery gives them a sense of immediacy for problems they may have. Members want immediate results, which recovery addresses."

Regarding doing your bit for Luxor, I presume the Social Media outlets get pounded day after day, but the fact is sites like Facebook only generate 3% of business, that's a fact. All this about pressurising Countries to fly empty planes will just do no good at all. Look at ourselves, if we are down we pick ourselves UP, we don't rely on others. There are many large tourist companies, why don't they join forces charter some aircraft and run European routes themselves. I think many are devoid of good ideas, and because these ideas get thwarted by the hierarchy, nothing gets done. A shame really. There have been many people that have forwarded good and cost effective ideas on Luxor, but they just get tossed in the bin, because it's new and not understood, or because the idea was put forward by a foreigner.

Sorry forum members but I am not a cat lover at all. Had a nasty accident with one when a child, that. Put me off them.

Like you said yourself Bombay the business's that have closed, the Airport Shops no longer there, the rise in poverty, the visa situation, the only improvements are not improvements that concern local people and tourists, such as Television Street Bus Stops, Cameras at Junctions, all money earners. I don't mind the cameras but the licks think they are traps to get money from them, and service buses seem to be exempt anyway.
Post by carrie » Thu Aug 04, 2016 5:56 am
OK then I will ask the improvements that do not affect locals or tourists MT please tell us what they are and who they do affect?
Post by Major Thom » Thu Aug 04, 2016 4:54 pm
If the bus shops were adhered to traffic problems in TV street would not build up allowing people to cross the street safer, walk on the road safer, because they would see where bus stops are and know to avoid the areas for walking in the road. You cannot salmon the pavements they are too poor ancient full of trip hazards. Tourists has well as locals use TV Street. Basically there have been no improvements so Locals and tourists are all effected. Who thought of the idea putting a sook at the entry to an historic site so tourists have to run the gauntlet of hassle before they even enter the site. Pathetic really, and everyone virtually runs through. Public toilets or the lack of them, they effect tourists more than locals who are prepared to hang out in the river. What am I doing rising to this? God knows!

I could be wrong here Dr, but your informer in Luxor may have got this mixed up, which as you know, is often the case there, and we all like gossip,........well, I certainly did, when I was there. I would often check my watch to see how long such rumours got back to me, and what new clothes they had gathered.
Anyhow, I suspect it has more to do with an idea going around government circles to allow foreigners to take up long term visas of five years, after which the person can apply for Egyptian citizenship.
Now, before you lot start to get giddy and excited, and who knows even have a small accident,.........this is for people who invest in Egypt. Although a price has not yet been set, the House of Representatives has gone nuts about the whole idea of citizenship for Awajas.
For my money, it seems more like an Arab version of offering refugee status,.........well, to those who have money anyway. .

Cutting to the chase :
Ahram Online , Wednesday 3 Aug 2016
Egypt says it has sent a draft law regulating the residency of foreigners upon which investors can obtain temporary residence permits for legal review, in preparation for referring the amended legislation to parliament for final approval.
Under the new amendments, investors would be required to make a deposit in foreign currency into Egyptian banks in order to receive five-year residence permits, the cabinet said in a statement late on Tuesday.
"It is a new type of residency that aims to make it easier for investors," cabinet spokesman Hossam Gawish said.
After five years of their stay in the country, investors can also apply for the Egyptian nationality, Gawish added.
Several MPs and other critics have objected to the nationality article, with some arguing that the "Egyptian citizenship is not up for sale" while others demanded tougher preconditions be imposed on foreigners to obtain it.
The certain amount of deposit required to be placed by investors has not been set yet.
The draft law has been referred to the State Council, a judicial advisory body, for legal review. It will then be sent to the parliament for final ratification.
Egypt's economy has been hard hit since the 2011 revolution and the ensuing political turmoil has scared off tourists and investors, two key sources of hard currency.
In January, Egypt's parliament approved a long-awaited law on investment aimed at making deals less vulnerable to legal challenges and cutting out stifling bureaucracy.
The law has caused major controversy since it was passed by the cabinet, with critics alleging that it would open the door to corruption by restricting appeals to only the parties involved: the government and investors.

Opening session of Egypt's House of Representatives in January 10, 2015
Al-Masry Al-Youm
Seventy MPs have announced their outright rejection of a bill submitted to parliament by MP Mahmoud Attia granting Egyptian nationality to foreigners who deposit US$5 million or more in an Egyptian bank.
The 70 MPs submitted a request the speaker of parliament for the bill to be dismissed without even the normal reading given to draft laws.
According to the bill, any foreigner who deposits $5 million in an Egyptian bank would be granted a temporary residence permit in Egypt for years in the first instance. At the end of five years, depending on a legal review, they may be granted Egyptian nationality as a second step.
The bill is partly intended to bring in much-needed foreign currency to Egypt, helping to alleviate the currency crisis that has been hampering business activitity.
However, the 70 MPs claim that it represents an "illegal trade in Egyptian nationality", saying there are alternative ways of increasing foreign currency reserves.
They warned, meanwhile, that such a law could be exploited by foreign nations, such as Israel, as a means of increasing their espionage activities in Egypt.
MP Mostafa Bakry described the bill as "very dangerous for national security".
"The difficult economic conditions should not be a reason to abandon the fundamentals of national security, especially since private investment by proxy has become commonplace in the world to achieve hostile political goals," he said.
Bakry rejected the idea of the bill completely, describing it as unacceptable.
MP Abdel Moneim al-Aleimy also rejected the bill, saying a nation's nationality is "sacred" and should not be up for sale.
"Egypt is not for sale," said MP Bedeir Abdel Aziz.
An increasing number of countries are offering citizenship in return for investment, seeking a "win-win" proposition in an attempt to boost the nation's economic situation.
High-net-worth individuals perceive purchasing citizenship or residency rights as a legitimate privilage of wealth, along with greater global mobility (visa-free travel in many countries), tax planning and family security.
Meanwhile, those nations granting citizenship to the rich reap the rewards in terms of increased cash-flow.
According to the IMFdirect blog, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States, France, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Australia, Hungary and Bulgaria are among the 23 countries around the globe that offer the so-called citizenship-by-investment.

Oh that nothing MT, a certain Mr Hussein Salem, a business tycoon cleared off out of Egypt during the troubles and took over $750,000,000 with him. As you would expect, he is quite elderly and obviously misses the old country, so believe it or not he has struck a deal, hands over $500,000,000 to the government and in return gets a pardon.

You can get permanent residency and eventually citizenship in the US with as little as $500k investment in a business in a disadvantaged area. And the quota of visas for each year doesn't even get used up so it's ready for the taking for anyone who is willing to do the paperwork and the business planning. I know an Egyptian even who did it. Who with $5 million would invest it in Egypt just to get a five year visa and maybe a chance at a passport that doesn't let you travel very many places without a visa?

Post by Major Thom » Sat Aug 06, 2016 5:29 am
So is Egypt for sale or not, it's a bit like prostituting a Country that is virtually Bankrupt, money is needed so bad. That's what they seem to be saying. The trouble is, All these different ideas and suggestions, are telling this to the World. What about people like Dusak and the Doctor who have already invested thousands if not millions into the Egyptian economy and are likely to be added for more, judging by what is being said. Can you imagine if the UK said to foreigners you can live here but you will have to purchase property and have a Bank account containing £50,000, there would be uproar, and that would be among British people. Also what protection of your investment would you have? The laws and rules change in Egypt every day, so you can move your money and buy property on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday the law will be changed, so not really any form of security at all, to either business or private investor. I could not give anything to this place anymore and would not even consider it, I employed two people at one time because we have changed our future their jobs have gone, our imput to the local economy is well over 1500LE per week. Forget Cairo and think of Luxor, that's two people lost their jobs, and 6000LE taken from the economy every year, but there come a time in everyone's life when your security during retirement is threatened, so to us what Egypt has cost us we are prepared to put down has a loss, and then start to enjoy ourselves again. Because the Internet and communications are still in their infancy in Egypt, they do not realise the stories getting out to the rest of the world, either from Toursts or Media, and it's these stories which really put investors off. I appreciate and so does everyone else on this forum that Egypt is a third world Country, but unless it opens itself up in the proper manner it will never get investment throughout the Country, only offers of borrowed money, that has to be paid back. Of course the other thing you need to be aware of is any future devaluation of the Egyptian Pound, remember it's not a hard currency, and only linked to the dollar by concept.

A source close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now confirms that Pelosi was told in February 2003 by her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, that waterboarding was actually used on CIA detainee Abu Zubaydah.
This appears to contradict Pelosi's account that she was never told waterboarding actually happened, only that the administration was considering using it.
Sheehy attended a briefing in which waterboarding was discussed in February 2003, with Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, who took over Pelosi's spot as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Adding insult to injury was Eli Lake's story last week showing that Jane Harman wrote a letter to the CIA in 2003 questioning the legality and prudence of waterboarding (Harman also requested that the CIA not destroy tapes of Abu Zubaydah's interrogation. The agency did in 2005). So all along it was the hawkish Harman -- scourge of the Democratic Left, enemy of Pelosi, spuriously accused of being an Israeli spy by the usual cast of characters due to a politically charged and out-of-context leak -- who had the moral qualms about waterboarding and brought those qualms to the appropriate people. Meanwhile, Pelosi not only remained silent about the tactic that she and liberal allies now deem to be "torture," but apparently approved of it.
