Zakat Al-Fitr
$12 – Per Person Single Donation Monthly Donation
$12 PER PERSON Giving Zakat-ul-Fitr (also known as Fitrana) is one of the many obligations of the holy month of Ramadan. Like the Zakat on an individual's savings, it also entails giving a small amount to charity. Zakat-ul-Fitr, however, must be given before the Eid prayers are performed after Ramadan. It is not uncommon to get Zakat-ul-Fitr mixed up with Zakat or vice versa. Both terms sound similar and even by definition have some similarities which often lead to confusion.
There are, however, some very notable differences between these two important Islamic rites. As long as you have a clear understanding of these differences, you will easily be able to differentiate between the two and know how to go about fulfilling their obligations.
Difference between Zakat and Zakat-ul-Fitr
The first difference lies in eligibility. Zakat-ul-Fitr is compulsory on all Muslims regardless of age or financial standing. The only exemption is for those who do not have one sa' (approximately 2.6 – 3kg) of their staple food in excess of their needs.
Because of the wider range of people who have to pay Zakat-ul-Fitr, it is the responsibility of the head of the household to pay for those under their care. Thus, for children, this task is undertaken by their parents on their behalf. Zakat, on the other hand, compulsory for only for Muslims who meet the Nisaab values after all their yearly Zakatable earnings are calculated.
The second difference lies in the amount. The amount due for Zakat-ul-Fitr is very small, and rarely exceeds $12. Zakat, however, can amount to a larger number because its 2.5% of all net savings.
The third and final difference lies in their due dates. Zakat can be paid at any time, with the only condition being that the earnings reflect one year's worth of net savings (one lunar year).
Zakat-ul-Fitr, however, goes hand in hand with Ramadan. Zakat-ul-Fitr is paid during Ramadan before the month ends. It needs to be paid before the Eid prayers at the very latest. This is a very specific time frame that all Muslims must abide to. Giving Zakat-ul-Fitr before the Eid-ul-Fitr prayers is extremely important, as a late payment is invalid and the obligation can't be made up for.

Note to GM's, Call for Sense Motive rolls with every Interaction, not only does it prevent annoying metagaming it also gives you great opportunities to put extra information that the players are in dire need of.
Take that a step further. Require a sense motive check at the most inopportune times, like in the middle of a date, or heck, during things like wedding vows.
Or when being rescued! That will really mess with them!
To be fair, "Good morning," from the average PC or questgiver in my party's game translates to "I want something from you" a good 82% of the time.

NRA Accused of Pressuring Officials to Allow Guns in Schools
Jim Owen, October 18, 2018 2:36PM
The National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups allegedly influenced the federal government's recent decision to let public schools buy firearms with taxpayer money.
The American Federation of Teachers, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence announced this week that they were suing the U.S. Department of Education to find out how officials developed the policy.
The organizations, represented by Democracy Forward, previously filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act for department documents. They wanted to know the role that the NRA and other pro-gun lobbyists played, and which school districts were planning to arm their teachers.
The government failed to respond to the requests within 20 days, which violated the law, according to The Huffington Post. Details of communications involving the department, state and school district officials, and gun-rights groups are "plainly of great public importance," the lawsuit states.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos revealed two months ago that she was considering whether to let schools purchase firearms with grant money they receive from the Every Student Succeeds Act. Texas officials had sought permission to do so, even though lawmakers created the fund in 2015 to support academics.
The act authorized expenditures for art, music, mental health, digital technology, and dropout-prevention programs, The New York Times reported. The government earmarks about $1 billion per year under the statute for so-called "student support and academic enrichment" grants.
DeVos, signaling her opposition to restrictions on how districts may use the grants, wrote that she had "no intention of taking any action concerning the purchase of firearms or firearms training for school staff."
Gun-safety groups claim that the secretary's opinion contradicts the will of Congress, which has repeatedly stipulated that public-education funds may not be spent on weapons. The latest legislation addressing the controversy, approved in March, banned using any part of a $50 million school allocation for guns.
The Education Department "wants to turn the U.S. government into an arms dealer for schools. That's insane," declared Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. "It's time Betsy DeVos starts standing up for kids and teachers, not the NRA."
The Giffords Law Center argues that "schools should be a safe haven from the violence that touches so many Americans, yet many states lack proper legal protection against the presence of firearms in schools."
The organization points out on its website that "gaps in gun-free schools laws, like concealed carry exceptions, threaten the safety of children and increase the likelihood of tragic school shootings." Allowing schools to purchase firearms "will only lead to more gun deaths and injuries, not fewer," according to the center, which advocates "laws that prohibit guns in schools and impose harsh penalties for gun possession."
One of the NRA's most outspoken critics on Capitol Hill, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, is the lead sponsor of a bill that would prevent the Education Department from providing funds for firearms. Rep. Robert C. Scott, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Education Committee, agrees with the prohibition. He said DeVos is "openly violating the spirit of the law, as well as common sense about gun safety."
"Redirecting that money to arm teachers and school staff will recklessly endanger the safety of both students and educators, while robbing underserved students of the support and opportunity they deserve," Scott warned.
Others, including Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, contend that local officials should have the right to decide how to use federal funds. However, Alexander told the Times that he is "not a fan of arming teachers."
Allowing guns in schools appears to be at odds with the grant program's "violence prevention" provision, which states that weapons are not compatible with a safe school environment.
The Times noted that Texas, which has established a "school marshal" program, is among nine or more states where school employees may carry firearms or have access to them. In May, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott wrote in a letter to DeVos that the state needed more money for school-safety efforts.
President Trump weighed in on the matter by predicting that arming teachers would stop mass shootings in classrooms. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Education Committee, fired back: "When Republicans and Democrats came together to pass the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act, we were clear that these grants were intended to help foster safe, healthy and supportive environments that improve student learning — not prop up the NRA and gun sales."
Lily Eskelsen García, president of the National Education Association, called Trump's stance "one more example of the corruption, greed and misplaced values of this administration." She told the Times: "If we use the funds for what they were intended to be used for, we might start tackling some of the issues that lead to gun violence."

YOUNG BUCK Biography - Theater, Opera and Movie personalities
Biography » theater opera and movie personalities » young buck
Rap musician David Brown (a.k.a. Young Buck) was born March 15, 1981, in Nashville, Tennessee. He is a member of the G-Unit rap music group.
Before joining G-Unit, he was a drug dealer in Nashville. Having struggled for a while, Buck met Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and 50 Cent, and the latter signed him on G Unit Records. First he appeared on a mixtape called "50 Cent is The Future". Later he was signed on Cash Money Records.
Brown represents what he calls the "Dirty South" and uses Southern slang in all his music. He points this out in the G-Unit song "Betta Ask Somebody" when he says "I'ma country boi, you can hear it when I speak".
He has diamonds, or "ice" as he calls it, worth an estimated $100,000 in his mouth as teeth.
He has a daughter whom he supports financially.
His first solo album Straight Outta Cashville was released on July 27, 2004. It included the singles "Let Me In" and "Shorty Wanna Ride", and it debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts.
On Tuesday, November 16 2004, Santa Monica Police released a warrant for Buck's arrest in relation to a stabbing incident at the 2004 Vibe Awards. Dr. Dre was assaulted by an angry stranger, and Buck jumped in to support him. Videos showed Buck lunging at the man with a knife in his hand. Buck is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He surrendered to police on November 20.
In the Southern United States, the term "young buck" (derived from an adolescent deer) means a young man, and in particular a young man who is energetic. The phrase provides the nickname Buck.

Jessa McIntosh has lived all over the U.S., but like many East Coast families, a job opportunity resulted in a move to Dallas. While her husband, Forgan (awesome name, right?) was settling in to his new job, a pregnant Jessa and her 2-year-old daughter, Sayer, were tasked with finding the perfect house for their growing family. And after a few deals fell flat, they will close on a fabulous home in Greenway Parks this month — plenty of time before baby No. 2 is born in May. The house has almost every thing they wanted, plus a guest cottage in the back. That will be perfect for visitors after the baby is born! It was meant to be!
While the home search may have ended, that doesn't mean that Jessa is slowing down. An entrepreneur in her own right — Jessa co-founded custom textile company Loom Decor — she hopes to introduce to North Texans in need of better upholstery and linens. While we welcome the McIntoshes to Dallas, let's go easy on them this summer when they find out what "hot" really means!
My husband was offered a great opportunity at a high growth energy company. With an expanding family and a desire to do something totally out of the box, we took a leap and decided to go on an adventure to Dallas!
We had visited Dallas once before making the decision to move so we had very little understanding of the real estate market or where we would want to settle down. While we definitely explored neighborhoods such as the Park Cities, Greenway Parks, Preston Hollow and the M Streets and Lakewood in East Dallas, we ultimately decided we would rent a furnished condo for three months in an area that we thought we wanted to live in to make sure it was right for us. This was the best decision could have made because it really solidified our decision on the areas we like best and has enabled us to really get a good picture of the market. So we are big supporters of temporary housing.
How long have you been looking for your new home?
We began our search in November and looked very broadly around the Dallas area with some guidance from friends who were also recent transplants from NYC. They helped us narrow our search but we explored lots of neighborhoods so that we could get a sense of our budget in different neighborhoods and to understand what the tradeoffs would need to be.
What is on your list of must-haves?
Coming from NYC, our must-haves and compromises are probably a bit different then true Dallasites. We are coming from a 900-square-foot apartment so anything over 1,000 square feet would feel like a palace!
• Old house character – both my husband and I grew up in New England, so while we knew we weren't going to find an old antique farm house in Dallas, we did want something that had some older character and not something that felt like a complete new build.
• Four bedrooms – we are expecting our second baby in May and will have many visits from our family over the next year, so an extra bedroom is key.
• A semi-shaded back yard – A yard is an absolute have to have and we have been told how brutal the summer is, so we felt that some shade was a must.
• 2,300-plus square feet – with two kids, a dog and frequent house guests, we wanted to make sure that we didn't feel like we were going to out grow our house in the first two years.
• This will sound funny to most but I really want double sinks in the master bath! For the past 8 yrs, my husband and I have been having elbow wars brushing our teeth together!
What are you willing to compromise on to get the location you want?
• We could compromise on the fourth bedroom if there was an opportunity to renovate in the future to create the extra bedroom, or a space that could be used as a guest room during visits.
• Square footage – we don't need a ton of extra space as long as the house functions really well for a family and the space is designed efficiently.
• Yard size – we don't need a huge yard if we are close to parks.
• I can give up my second sink if I have to!
• We're not used to huge walk-in closets, so if we had to, we can give up this luxury.
What shocked you about the buying process in Dallas?
Obviously, the housing market is much more affordable in Texas versus the Northeast. We have lived in Boston and NYC, where both cities and their surrounding suburbs are extremely expensive. When we began our house hunt, we were definitely pleasantly surprised by how far our budget went in certain neighborhoods; however, we were surprised by the fact that while compared to what we could get in the Northeast, our budget didn't go as far as we thought in our most-desired neighborhoods. We found that square footage was the biggest compromise.
The major bonus about the Texas market no matter the neighborhood, is people love to renovate. So everything we looked at, no matter the price range, was updated with great fixtures and appliances and generally speaking, most homes had the open floor concept. In the Northeast, half the "charm" of an older house is all its quirks. While I love the quaint quirks of antique homes in New England, it's nice to not have to deal with them while we have young family.
If you were to start your home search over from the beginning, what would you do differently?
• We don't have a lot of regrets about our search process and are actually very pleased with how things are going.
• Early in our search we made a few offers on some homes that, looking back on now, we are very happy didn't work out. Now that we have much better sense of neighborhoods, even down to how busy certain streets are during rush hour, we are so happy we waited.
• Moving into a temporary home during our search was also the best decision we made. Even though we are expecting a new baby very soon and would ideally want to move into a home before that happens, we felt it wasn't a good long term decision to buy a home before we actually lived here and new more about the areas.
Ebby Halliday, Grande Dame of Dallas Real Estate, Has a Really, Really Big Birthday Coming Up!
And precious Erica Kuppin was one of my car-pool girls and one of Cassie's bridesmaids! So happy to be getting more transplants from the northeast!

Lay Activity in the Early Church
We begin with the miracle on Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came and glorified Jesus and led the disciples into all the truth.
Pentecost is our spiritual birthday. Christ became the real and living One. His disciples received a new vision, a new power and a new message. The unconverted fell under a deep conviction of sin. They "had crucified the Lord of Glory" They cried to the brethren for help and to God for salvation, were saved and baptized - 3.000 in one day.
May the fire of Pentecost be kindled in our hearts! May we carry that fire of the Holy Spirit out to all who are dead in trespasses and sins! That has been the aim of all living and God-inspired lay activity in all ages. May sinners receive the sting of the Holy Spirit in their hearts! May we pray for a new experience of Pentecost!
I. The First Christian Church
In the first Christian church all were members of one family, the family of God's people. All attended the Gospel meetings. They could not get along without the prayer meeting, even every day. They lived in the blessed and sweet fellowship of brotherly love. Souls came to the Lord every day. Their Gospel meetings, love-feasts, communion, prayer meetings, worship, all was done joyfully and in holy simplicity, no special vestments, no chanting, no high church ceremonies. But the Spirit-filled prayers, simple songs of praise, and the testimony of God's people could be heard on every hand. Acts 2:42-47.
All Inner Mission and laymen's work is a returning to the old fountains. A return to the personal experience of conversion on Pentecost; A return to the love-life, Christian fellowship, the free prayer-meeting and testimony meeting and old-time simplicity of the first Christian Church. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the lord." But only the experience of new birth and personal faith in Christ led into God's Church. How is it now?
We are in danger of getting stiff, stale and petrified. We have divisions and misunderstandings among the brethren; some of us are leaning toward high-churchism, others are getting over-critical. Selfishness, love of honor with its chilling breeze, and love of the world are getting in among us. Let us come back to the fountains of the Holy Spirit in a true repentance. May our impure and selfish hearts be thawed up by the grace of God, the Christian family fellowship be renewed, and sinners be converted.
II. The First Christian Witnesses
Moses wished fervently that all God's people were prophets. Num. 11:29. All God's people belong to the royal priesthood. I Peter 2:9. One of the blessed rights of this priesthood of believers is to bear witness of Him who has "called us out of darkness into His marvelous light."
The first witnesses were unlearned lay people. Acts 4:13. But "They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus." Men felt the power of their holy lives. They felt the power of their testimony. How is it today? We need both the lip-testimony and the life-testimony.
Just before parting, Jesus told His own to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15.
And out the living witnesses went-men, women and even children, while the enemies tried in every way to stop them. Acts 4:17 But they must obey God more than man, and could not but be living witnesses for Christ of the things they had experienced. Acts 4:19, 20.
The persecution which the dead Jewish Church raised helped to scatter the living fire. God's people, except the apostles, left Jerusalem and went everywhere preaching the living Word. Acts 8:1, 4. "Their lives and lips ex- pressed the holy Gospel they professed
Some were especially gifted by God to do personal work with the individual, like Philip. Acts 4:26-40. He led the eunuch to Christ while they rode in the chariot. What a holy love for souls! How few of us have this living fire now!
God made use of an obscure Christian, Ananias, to lead the wise and learned Saul to the Gospel light. Acts 9:17.
Don't forget that God is still choosing the foolish instrument to confound the wise. God works through the lowly and despised to bring the great down to nothing-that no flesh shall glory before Him. 1 Cor. 1:27-29. All Inner Mission and layman's work has advanced along these lines. We need especially to stress it in these days, when education and theological learning are worshipped. God is still calling Ananias to go to Saul to set Him free! Why did not God send a theological professor?
But we had no preachers and professors with a degree of learning in those days. Had not Christ told them: "But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your Master, even Christ; and you are all brethren. And call no man father upon the earth; for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters; for one is your Master, even Christ"
How is Christ's Word followed in this age? The Roman Catholics have fathers-even holy fathers. Among others we have "reverend'' Rt. Reverend, Bishop, Doctor of Divinity and various kinds of "masters.''
We are thankful we do not have Dr. Matthew, Dr. Mark, Dr. Luke and Dr. John or Dr. Paul-though some are bound to say St. John, etc. But they never called themselves for special "saints''. We are all saints in Jesus.
John calls himself an elder. 2 John 1; 3 John 1. Peter says about himself: I am also an elder-! Peter 5:1 - no cardinal, no pope, just an elder among the other elders of the Church. Paul called himself "less than the least of all saints.'' Eph. 3:8. By such men the souls were won in the first century. Yes, the evangelist Philip had four daughters, who were along in the soul-winning work. Acts 21:9. Did Paul hinder them? On the contrary, Paul desired for them all to have spiritual gifts, especially that they might prophesy. For he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation and comfort. 1 Cor. 14:1, 3.
That is the prophesy we need today. The prophesy of Jonah to Nineveh: "except you all repent, you will likewise perish." And the testimony, which is prophesy for edification and comfort in these days of depression and discouragement.
III. The Spiritual Gifts in the Early Church
In Rom. 12:3-9 and I Cor., chapters 12-14 Paul speaks about these wonderful spiritual gifts which flow from the life abundant-they flow from the fullness of the spirit, from that heavenly "stuff" that had flowed into the hearts of God's people, when the Kingdom of God was not in word, but in power.
These gifts differ, as the members of the body differ- one body, many members. We shall enumerate some of these gifts which God's people received when they drank of the Holy
Spirit:
1. The gift of wisdom and knowledge I Cor. 12:7.
"Wisdom,'' the deep insight into the deep things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
1 Cor. 2:1. "Knowledge" the practical application of this heavenly wisdom. The difficulties of the early church were straightened out through this wonderful gift of the Spirit, as in Acts, chapter 15 and 1 Cor. 5. We are strongly exhorted to pray for this heavenly wisdom in James 1:5 - "and it shall be given him"
2. The gift of teaching. Rom. 12:7; l Cor. 12:28; Eph.4:11.
This was a power given by God's Spirit to interpret God's Word very clearly and apply it to the people. How wonderfully Peter did this through the Spirit on Pentecost day-he just interpreted Ps. 16 and Joel 3 and applied it to the hearers, till 3,000 called on the name of the Lord and were saved. How did not Paul have this gift of spiritual teaching in all his epistles?-and Stephen in Acts 7? How few messages from the pulpit or in Sunday school are filled with spiritual power! Lack of personal spiritual experience is one reason. Paul gave to the Corinthians what he had received. 1 Cor. 15:3. You cannot give to others what you have not first received from the Lord.
What has made the laymen's testimony so effective? They have preached through personal experience. That is the true gift of teaching.
3. The gift of prophecy. Rom. 12:6; I Cor. 12:28; I Cor. 14.
Justin Martyr (died in 177) writes: "With us you can see men and women who have this gift from the Spirit of God" To be sure, one part of this gift was to tell coming events, as in Acts 11:27, etc. But the real value of spiritual prophecy lies in the spiritual, personal testimony for exhortation, edification and comfort. 1 Cor. 14:3. This gift the apostle specially stresses to be encouraged and made use of. 1 Cor. 14:1. It is especially valuable to convict the unconverted. 14:25. How many have been awakened through a personal testimony, when ordinary preaching did not reach the heart! The Spirit has in a special sense given the lay people the trust to take care of this gift, to encourage it, to bring it to the front. When spiritual deadness gets the upper hand, this gift is the first one to suffer from it. 'The devil has always been very busy slandering this gift and bringing it into disrepute. It is connected up with spiritual life.
If you throw the gift of your personal testimony overboard, you throw spiritual life overboard.
4. The gift of discerning spirits.
This was a gift to discriminate between the true and the false prophet, the true and the false teaching, between divine inspiration and human enthusiasm, between the work of the Spirit and the work of the devil, when he comes in the shape of an angel of light.
This holy criticism is commanded in God's Word: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God'' (1 John 4:1). This know also, that in the last days grievous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves-lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ; having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof (II Tim. 3) .
We certainly need this gift-this holy criticism-in these last days of falling away, days of sects and parties, formalism, ritualism, imitation of Christianity and denial of the faith. Many Christians don't seem to know the difference between the formalistic spirit and mere human learning, and the true work of the Spirit.
But if I have this gift without having the real love of God in my heart, like the Angel of the Church of Ephesus, Rev. 2, I may develop into a harsh and sour, critical fault- finder. Fault-finding is easy, but dangerous to the soul, and it chills the spirit and brotherly love. But work faithfully and lovingly for the Lord first, then you are also commanded to exercise holy criticism.
5. The gift of tongues I Cor. 14.
This was an act of worship, as praying in sort of a spiritual trance, and in a peculiar language inspired by the Holy Spirit. It was for edification to the speaker himself; but Paul counted it as one of the least important of the gifts of grace. He "would rather speak five words clearly understood, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." It appeared first on Pentecost, also in the house of Cornelius and in Corinth. Paul says it must not be forbidden, but be done decently and in order. 1 Cor. 14:39-40.
How sad and un-Biblical when this gift is made a show of with screaming and rolling on the floor and such like. God grant it should not be an inspiration from Satan. Or when it is put above all other gifts in importance-yes, even made a sign of a real born-again believer. When Paul plainly makes it one of the less important of the gifts of grace and plainly says that we do not all speak in tongues.
How much imitation and spiritual humbug follows this so-called interpretation of tongues. God only knows. However, we must not forget that there really is such a gift as speaking in tongues and interpretation of them.
6. The gift of service and helps. 1 Cor. 12:28.
The Greek word for servant in God's Word is "diakonos," wherefrom we have our "deacon" and "deaconess.'' But all God's servants are "diakonia" (plural). We don't want a cheap, lazy religion; we want to spend our strength in God's service. But the real spirit of service is a wonderful gift of grace from God. To serve in God's Church, to serve God's people; especially to look after the sick and needy, both to soul and body. Jesus stresses this emphatically: "Verily I say unto you; inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me'' (Matt. 25:40).
The love of the early Christians always reached down to the sick, the needy, the forsaken and the prisoner. "Remember them which suffer adversity.'' Help them. Serve them. Thank God that your life will count for something in His service.
7. The gift of church government and the care of souls.
The so-called Pastoral Epistles, 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus-these in particular stress this most important work-"how to take care of the Church of God." Peter warns against the temptation to God's servants to put themselves up as over-lords, as so many church leaders have been guilty of, but to labor for the salvation of souls in love and humility.
Paul adds: Though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers (1 Cor. 4:15). Few real spiritual fathers. Only the Holy Ghost can make you a true pastor, a true church-leader. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood'' (Acts 20 : 28) . What a wonderful shepherd-heart Paul had, when he did not cease to warn every one night and day with tears.
Or when he writes: "Praying always for you. I do not cease to pray for you'' (Col. 1:3, 9). What a blessed gift from God to have a true pastor's heart, filled with heart-concern for the salvation of souls; and such you should esteem very highly in love for their work's sake.
Though every Christian is not a church-leader or official pastor, every Christian should have a pastor's heart. Often we find this gift of tender heart-concern for souls bestowed on humble believers, who never have been and never will be elected to any office in church or Inner Mission.
8. The gift of miracles.
God gave Stephen and the early church-workers this special power to heal the sick and to cast out devils. Peter even raised the dead. These gifts were outward seals and credentials of the divine mission to lead souls to the Lamb of God. Since the time of the apostles none that we know of have ever raised the physically dead to life again. The great men of God through the ages, as Augustine, Luther, Spener, Francke, Wesley, Bunyan, Hauge, have only in a very limited degree healed the sick, or cast out devils, if they have done any of it at all.
There are signs that indicate that in the last age this wonderful gift will be greatly revived.
9. The evangelistic gift (Eph. 4:11).
Paul admonishes Timothy to do the work of an evangelist. Philip, the soul- winner, is called an evangelist (Acts 8 and 21:8). The evangelistic spirit is a special gift of grace and gift from God (Eph.4:11). "Ye must be born again," is the burden of the evangelist's message. When spiritual life declines in the Church, people and preachers turn away from the great heart-truth of conversion and new birth. They set sacraments and outward Churchianity in its stead. How we then need the strong and direct message of the evangelist: "Repent ye therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, and the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord'' (Acts 3:19).
10. Finally the gift of love, as the most precious and most useful of them all (1 Cor. 13).
This heavenly love is created by the Spirit in your heart, when you are born again. It has been called the soul of all the other gifts of grace. What would deep insight into God's Word, eloquent preaching, giving to God's cause, even martyrdom, what would it all profit, if it lacked a soul-lacked the true love of God, Paul asks. It would profit nothing whatever. "The greatest of these is love."
Paul wept over the hardness of the enemies of the Cross. He was in great heaviness and continual sorrow over the unconverted Jews. It was said about the first Christians: "Behold how they love one another." Love was aglow in their hearts toward all the poor and needy. Stephen even prayed God on his knees to forgive his enemies. This love of God shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit was the magnet that drew them to prayer meetings and drew the unconverted to the Gospel meetings and drew them to the Savior. The soul-winner, Paul, was constrained by the love of God. Love goes together with obedience: lf you love Me, keep My commandments, Jesus said. But there is nothing the devil is more after, than to disturb and destroy brotherly love and create suspicion, cold criticism and misunderstanding. Then his battle is won.
Stir up these ten gifts of God (11 Tim. 1:6). This is one of the main aims of all laymen's work.
IV. Why the Early Christians were Persecuted
The way of blood, the way of persecution, the way of the great tribulation for the early Christians is well-known- from Pentecost till the year 311, or 314, when the cross finally conquered. Why were God's people persecuted so terribly by Jews and Gentiles? We shall find the devil is the same, then as now, only now perhaps more like the snake in the grass; then more like a roaring lion. Here are some of the causes.
1. The strong, Biblical preaching of repentance and conversion. Acts 3:19.
The preaching of John the Baptist and Jesus: "Except ye all repent-except ye be born again- ye shall all likewise perish," John 3; Luke 13:5. This kind of preaching brings results, but it also brings persecution.
It brought down the wrath of the self-righteous people upon John, upon the early Christians, and upon all God's people of all ages, who have stood out- and-out on conversion and the new birth. They have always been accused by the devil, because that kind of preaching disturbs his kingdom. The lay people in all ages have always been among the foremost to unfurl the banner of the preaching of repentance and the new birth, which have made them so unpopular for the most part in the organized church.
2. The personal testimony of the individual Christian.
"Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven." Matt. 10:32. When an old infidel, Celsus, sneeringly remarks, "weavers, cobblers, and fullers and the most ignorant persons are preaching (giving their personal testimony) the unreasonable faith''-like Stephen and the early martyrs-it has always stirred up the devil. Stirred up the devil in their own homes, "three against two and two against three;'' stirred up the devil in the Jew and in the heathen and in the worldly organized church in all ages.
The very first persecution, Acts 4, started because the early witnesses would not keep salvation and the personal experience to themselves. And it has been kept up ever since. The more you stand up for Jesus, the less the world and the devil will like you. Not even the worldly relatives will stand this in you.
3. The living proof of a godly life.
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.''2 Tim. 3:12.
The early Christians forgot not to live the popular side of Christian life, which is to show the fruit of the Spirit- love, gentleness, meekness, goodness, etc. Gal. 5:22. This brought them faver from the people. Acts 2:47. So it will now. The world will like a meek, humble, gentle and kind person. This is to make Christianity attractive. We are commanded to do it.
But there is that side of godliness where you refuse to conform to the fashion of this world-refuse the godless ways of the world, refuse to recognize the religion of the worldly people-this last is often the worst. lf you then on top of all this reprove the godless, but perhaps religious world, you will in any age more or less be opposed, hated, slighted, misunderstood, ridiculed, or openly persecuted.
Those who are chosen to live apart from the world will be hated, Jesus says. John 15:19. And the pietists and lay- people of all ages certainly have had their share of it.
4. The Christians were persecuted for slighting the formalistic church - or social customs and for trying to change them. Acts 6:14.
This brought the wrath of the religious Jews down upon Stephen. Paul was called a trouble-maker for teaching, as they said, new customs. Acts 16:20, 21. He turned the world upside down. Acts 17:6. Then the Jews again accused him of forsaking Moses and slighting the sacrament of circumcision and the ritualistic customs. Acts 21:21.
When earnest Christian witnesses have attacked worldly or sinful social customs, and even religious customs which church people in their blindness build on, they have in all ages been hated and persecuted. These customs are the idols of the people. If you try to knock down their idols, they will turn fiercely against you at any time and any age.
5. The Christianity we're persecuted for stirring up the people and starting a new sect. Acts 24:5.
That is an old, but ever new accusation. Paul was called a ringleader of this new sect. As long as this "new sect'' did not make much progress, it was barely tolerated. But when revival came from heaven, and people were converted in great numbers, neither Jew nor heathen would stand for it. So in all ages. A real revival in a dead church, as well as in a heathen community, will always be a fearful trouble- maker.
6. The Christians were persecuted for not being willing to compromise.
Paul tried it once with regard to the Jewish customs. It was a good thing he did not succeed. See Acts 21:18-40. A complete break came, both over against the religious Jews and the religious heathen. These latter regarded the Christians both as godless and ungodly, for breaking completely away from heathen religious customs.
The dead church in all ages has done the same. And if you refuse entirely to compromise with the world, they will hate you.
7. The Christians were persecuted for being poor and disloyal citizens.
In the old Roman Empire the state was the god of the people. The emperor should be worshipped, which the Christians, of course, refused. Mussolini is reviving the old Roman Empire these days. Who is god? The state is. The main representative is the dictator himself.
The Hitler government seems to be still more so. The old heathen customs are revived. The state and its main representative are worshipped. Those who criticize, refuse to conform, or even are lukewarm will be suspected and persecuted, just as in the old Roman Empire. Persecution of Christians will come with a dictatorship-sooner or later. Material for a persecution is being piled up.
8. Confessing Christians were sometimes themselves the cause of persecution. 1 Peter 2:20.
Paul must have meant the same in 1 Cor. 12, when he says: Though I give my body to be burnt, and have not love, it profits nothing." These sad martyrs have been found in all ages. They imagine they are persecuted for Christ's sake, when they just suffer for their own sins and faults. They may be critical, hard, judging, dishonest, careless or in an unforgiving spirit, stiff and unyielding in personal affairs. Yet they profess Christianity. The world will hate them. They do an immense amount of harm to the Kingdom of God.
V. Some Reasons Why Spiritual Life Declined and Lay Activity
Died Out in the Early Centuries
The church historian, Philip Schaff, writes about the wonderful spiritual life in the early church: "Every congregation was a missionary society, and every Christian believer a missionary, inflamed by the love of Christ to convert his fellow-men. Every Christian told his neighbor, the servant told his master and mistress, the laborer told his fellow laborers, the slave told his fellow-slave, the story of his conversion, as a sailor tells the story of the rescue from shipwreck." What a wonderful, real, living, loving and powerful thing Christianity and salvation must have been to the early Christians. Why should it decline and decay so sadly after two or three centuries? Jesus told us before, and the Epistles to the Seven Churches are prophecies that spiritual life will go down and down and down. Here are some of the reasons gathered from the New Testament and Church History:
1. The Church Organization and the Church Offices
Some of this is necessary. Jesus had chosen first the 12 and then the 70. The church, which was a group of converted Christian people, then as now must have leaders. Paul had appointed elders, Ads 14:23, to have the over- sight of the Christian groups or churches. But these offices were to help along the gifts of grace, not to hinder them.
The universal priesthood according to 1 Peter 2:9 was greatly emphasized, as all the church historians agree. But they also agree how the growing church organization tended to stop and ruin lay activity and spiritual life, and these two cannot be separated.
Heggtveit writes: "At the time of the apostles, the congregations were led by the elders, but the gifts of grace had free exercise and the priesthood of believers prevailed to a great degree and without limitation. But when the priest and the bishop came, the free lay activity is more and more crowded out, and instead all activity as to the preaching of God's Word is laid in the hands of a special class-the priests, or pastors with the bishop at the head."
Another Norse church historian, Ivar Welle, writes: "After a while all activity of traveling evangelists stopped, and all preaching of the Word was taken over by pastors and bishops.
"Spiritual life was growing weaker, but the congregations were increasing. The spirit of the time demanded dictatorship in church and state. And about the year 150 A.D. the church organization took the form of a church dictatorship. The chairman of the Council of Elders became a real bishop and was chosen for life. The people were exhorted to obey him in all things, and he came to be called "holy father'' and to be a middle-man between God and the ordinary Christians."
Philip Schaff writes: "In the apostolic church preaching and teaching were not confined to a particular class, but every convert could pro- claim the Gospel to unbelievers, and every Christian who had the gift could pray and teach and exhort in the congregation. The apostles themselves never laid claim to a special priesthood with the exaltation of the clergy appeared another tendency. Yet the priesthood of believers continued for some time to exert itself.''
The sad story then as now, is only too well known. In- stead of encouraging the priesthood of believers and the gifts of grace, the pastors and church leaders crowded it more and more into a little corner, or tried to stop it all predation. The apostles themselves never laid claim to a sort of a program lay activity is developed, which is run according to form and rule. The spirit of the time now as in the second and third century is dictatorship in church and state. The testifying lay people need to stand together as never before, if the Christian testimony, the fellowship of the saints and the strong preaching of the need of a new birth shall not be choked and strangled by a growing church organization as it was in the early centuries.
2. The Danger from Sects and Parties
Even in the apostolic age, and much worse later, there were those like Simon Magus, Acts 8, who were baptized with water, but not with the Holy Spirit; they were not really born again, but bore the Christian name. So we got Ebionism, or the leading form of all those who wanted to take the Jewish customs and ceremonies with them into the Christian life ; and Gnosticism, the leading form of all the converted heathen, who dragged as much as possible of heathenism with them into the church and into Christian life and teachings.
These converted (?) but legalistic Jews we meet already in the year 52 A.D., in Acts 15. They wanted to be Christians, but to drag circumcision and the whole ceremonial law with them into the church. But Peter and Paul stood up for the simplicity of the Gospel-salvation. These Jews got in among the Galatian congregations, Colossae and Corinth, trying to draw the believers into the legalistic, formal and ceremonial Christianity. They were stopped for the time being, but especially after 300 A.D. a new wave of ceremonialism and legalism broke out again, until we got the Roman Catholic Church with the pope at the head.
In this twentieth century a new wave of the same old Jewish formalism and ceremonialism is sweeping several denominations. Now as in the early church, it has no use for lay activity, no use for the simple Gospel evangelism, or for preaching of the new birth - all this they have in their Ordinances, ceremonies and Sacraments. This movement now as always is the worst enemy of all true spiritual life and lay activity. It just makes the old carnal nature a little religious, and it appeals to the natural man. It is an easy religion.
The other leading form, Gnosticism, was brought into the church by converted (?) Gentiles. As many Jewish Christians were Jews at heart and had a Christian outside, so many so-called converted heathens were heathens at heart, with a coat of Christian paint on top. They are the fathers of our modern rationalists. They were especially strong at Ephesus, Crete, Corinth and other places. They wanted "wisdom" speculation and philosophy. So Paul made it a special point to know nothing among them save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2. But this preaching they despised. About the year 90 A.D. they had got so far in Ephesus that they denied Jesus having come in the flesh - the spirit of anti-Christ. I John 4:3.
So in these last days anti-Christ is openly confessed by leaders of many denominations and so-called Christian schools. This, what John calls the spirit of anti-Christ, has absolutely no use for the Christian testimony, or the preaching of the new birth - denying the Lord who bought them. These are doctrines of devils. I Tim. 4:1. These doctrines of devils are in the air and appeal to modern man-yet with a religious, moral outside. It pretends to be very broadminded and tolerant. It's the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man philosophy, with all its clubs, lodges, modern amusements and social activities - but at heart it is the worst enemy of all true Christians and the living truth itself.
Then after the year 150 A.D. or so, we have many of God's real children breaking up into various sects-the Novatianists, who stood for a very strict type of Christianity with strict church discipline; the Montanists, our Pentecostals, carrying on much in the same way with wild excitement in their meetings; and many other sects and parties. But these divisions and splits, then as now, weakened God's people. Instead of fighting together, they fought separately, and often against each other, is Augustine against the earnest Christian Donatists. The earnest Christian life in these sects died out. In the main church dead ceremonialism took the upper hand more and more until finally about the year 500 we find the dead Roman Catholic Church with the pope at its head. Yet a stream of living Christianity, like an undercurrent, has come flowing down to the Valdense revival, down to the Reformation, down to our own age-a 'holy remnant according to the election of grace." Rom. 11:5.

Q: Displaying change of content through parent I have DHTML content inside a fieldset. This includes plain html, nested objects (even other fieldsets), and value change of input, select, and textarea objects.
I'd like to change the border of the fieldset if the contents have been changed.
The following works:
$('fieldset[name=qsfs127]').children('input').change(function(){
    $(this).parent('fieldset').css({border:'1px solid red'});
})

This handles the input; I can extend it to select and textarea.
Questions:

*

*How can I do the same for html changes?

*Can all of this change-tracking be done by comparing current html() to stored one?

*If yes for (2), will this handle cases of "undo"?

Edit: I have a button that ajax-uploads contents, and saves the changes. I then remove the border color

A: 1.) You could track HTML changes in a similar way that the jQuery livequery plugin does.  The livequery plugin wraps all of the jQuery DOM manipulation methods and when any of them are called, the wrapper method does something special and then proxies back to the original function.  This will only work for the update/undo uses cases assuming the both use one of the jQuery DOM manipulation methods to change state.
$.each('append', 'prepend', 'after', 'before', 'wrap', 'attr', 'removeAttr', 'addClass', 'removeClass', 'toggleClass', 'empty', 'remove', 'html', function(i, funcName) {

   // Short-circuit if the method doesn't exist
   if (!$.fn[funcName]) return;

   // Save a reference to the original method
   var old = $.fn[funcName];

   // Create a new method
   $.fn[funcName] = function() {

      // Call the original method
      var r = old.apply(this, arguments);

      //Do something special here! Compare the stored html of the fieldset
      //to the new html state and update border accordingly

      // Return the original methods result
      return r;
   }
});

2.) You could keep track this way, seems a little heavy handed.  Without more information about your use case and control of data it is hard to recommend anything.
3.) If you did store the value of the original html() in the fieldset it seems that it would work for the undo case as well.  You could just compare the value of the html() after an undo as well.  However if you are creating an "undo" button it seems to me that you will need to have some history of all changes, and once the user has no more undos then they should be back at the original state and no comparison of the html() should be needed.

Q: How to write a multple Not equal AND Clause in TSQL? I am using tsql to write query and my where clause seems to be returning too many results. It for some reason seems to be treating my Not equal AND Clause as an OR clause.
SELECT *
  FROM [dbo].TestTable
  WHERE
  ([SomeID] <> 0)
  AND
  ([BlahID] <> 0)
  AND
  ([TestID] <> 0)
  AND
  ([AnotherID] <> 0)

  ORDER By ID

I need it to return only rows where all four columns are not equal to zero. Right now it is removing rows where any of the columns are equal to zero.
My Table:
ID   SomeID   BlahID   TestID   AnotherID
1     0        1        4         0
2     0        4        4         8
3     0        0        4         0
4     0        1        4         0
5     6        1        4         3

What I want it to return
ID   SomeID   BlahID   TestID   AnotherID
1     0        1        4         0
2     0        4        4         8
4     0        1        4         0
5     6        1        4         3

What it Returns
ID   SomeID   BlahID   TestID   AnotherID
5     6        1        4         3

A:
It keeps not returning any row that has a zero in any of these columns
  not all of these columns

That's exactly what your query is all about. It returns rows, with no 0 at any column you've listed.
That's because if any of AND parts is evaluated as false entire condition is false as well. So if e.g. TestID = 0, the entire WHERE clause is false and the row is not being returned.
To get rows where at lease one of these columns has non-zero value, use OR.

A: Easier to read (for me, at least)
Records that never have and id = 0
SELECT *
  FROM [dbo].TestTable
  WHERE 0 NOT IN ([SomeID],[BlahID],[TestID],[AnotherID])

Records that have at least one id <> 0
SELECT * FROM TestTable
WHERE EXISTS (
  SELECT 1
  FROM (VALUES(SomeID),(BlahID),(TestID),(AnotherID)) t(id)
  WHERE id <> 0
)

A:
I need it to return only rows where all four columns are not equal to
  zero. Right now it is removing rows where any of the columns are equal
  to zero.

Based on your wording and revised update, what you do want is to use OR instead of AND. Not sure if the link will work, but you can check out this SQL Fiddle.

A: Use
SELECT * FROM [dbo].TestTable WHERE [BlahID] <> 0

The problem isn't your query, it's the results you expect.  Every row in the table has a non-zero value in at least one column, so the query returns the whole table.


Dalton Public Schools celebrated the rich history of writing that has been passed down in the district through the years at the annual Young Georgia Authors Celebration on March 27. The event, titled "Cat Tales: A Lasting Imprint," featured speakers that encouraged the audience to inspire someone else to write by passing on their stories.
The celebration kicked off with a gallery walk through the Wink Theater with students' writing on display for attendees to read and leave encouraging notes. It also featured pieces of writing by current staff members from their school days, old writing artifacts like a typewriter, and a table of the Dalton Middle School Success Academy's 18-Word Writing publication.
The program began with a welcome from event host and District Literacy Coordinator Alice Ensley and the Pledge, led by Dalton Middle School student Caddarius Jackson. Don Amonett, Minnie Marsh, Brian Suits, Laura Orr, Meleia Bridenstine, Courtenay Cholovich, Edith Nava, Abby Gleaton, Andrea Najera and Jennifer Phinney each shared a brief testimony about their relationship and history with writing. The line of speakers, from old to young, was a great demonstration of how we all experience writing in a different way and can use those experiences to inspire others and pass down our writing tools.
The audience also enjoyed performances of "Sadly in Love" by Dalton High School senior Abby Gleaton and "This is Me" by the Dalton Middle School choir. Dalton Middle School teacher Amanda Triplett and Success Academy student Maritza Pasillas spoke about the Success Academy and how it impacts students' lives. Triplett read a poem by student Alex Rodriguez titled "They Say I'm Not From Here." She then accepted the Jim Hawkins Innovative Writing Award on behalf of the Success Academy, recognized for the innovative idea to host the 18 words writing event.

I often find that when I've got the itch to start a new project, knitting projects are somewhat easier for me to start. I think this is because I've got a pile of good knitting magazines full of patterns that somebody else has already gone to the trouble of testing, so I can start immediately. Especially when there are smaller items like gloves and hats and scarves that I can finish quickly and get an instant craft "hit".
It was in one of these "itchy" moments that I happened across a scarf pattern that I hadn't noticed before (p44 of Vogue Knitting Winter 2010/11). Its essentially a panel of twisted brioche rib, with a hole so that the scarf can pass through itself, making a neat little bow at the neck. After a bit of practice to get my head around the stitch, I knitted this up in some lovely soft grey yarn for my mother who is currently swanning about France.
That was back in March and she gets home in another fortnight, so I can document that one then!
After mastering the stitch, I wanted to do something more. So I just started another panel, not knowing what I would do with it. In the end I made two short panels to be the back of a pair of gauntlets or wrist warmers. I knitted two plain rib panels to be the undersides of the gauntlets and sewed the top and the bottom together, leaving a hole for the thumb.
I made sure while stitching them together that I was doing a neat job because I was aware that both sides of the brioche knitting look nice, and the two colours had different effects on the front and back of the knitting.
The blue is Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino. The rainbow is a Cleckheaton Merino Bambino 4ply that I've always loved; none of the colours look out of place in the mix.So now I have some lovely gauntlets to warm my hands while I knit!

Police kill 5 armed robbery suspects in Calabar
The Police Command in Cross River, has killed five suspected armed robbery gang who engaged the police in a gun duel shortly after robbing a filling station at Atu Street in Calabar on Sunday.
Mr Hafiz Inuwa, the Commissioner of Police in the state, who briefed newsmen on the incident at the Atakpa Police Station, said the robbers invaded the filling station on Sunday morning.
"Some of these armed robbers are giving us problems in Calabar municipality.
"These set of robbers were caught up in a gun battle with the police shortly after they robbed a filling station in Atu area of Calabar South.
"They had a shoot-out with the police and our men were able to gun down five of them. These were the same gang that we already have their profile.

"We have been on the watch out for them because they were the same people that snatched two AK47 rifles from our men.
"This is a pointer to the fact that the police and other security agencies will not rest until the state is free from all forms if criminalities," he said.
Inuwa said that people who decides to take up arms against law abiding citizens in the state would have themselves to blame because the police was out for "fire-for-fire".
"Election is coming, the Calabar carnival is around the corner; we are not going to spare any criminal in the state.
"I am calling on parents to be on the watch out on their wards because taking arms against anybody will not be tolerated," he warned.

Also speaking, the State Security Adviser to Gov. Ben Ayade of the state, Mr Ani Esin, who was also at the police station, told NAN that his office was working in collaboration with security agencies in order to reduce crime rate.
Esin said that the Ayade-led administration places premium on the security of residents and visitors in the state, adding that the state government in collaboration with security agencies would not relent in arresting anyone caught in illegality.
He added that all necessary infrastructure had been put in place to ensure that the Christmas period is celebrated peacefully in the state.

"We are trying to revamp all the security units across the state and to also empower the security agencies because we want to feel their presence at every corner especially now that we are having thousands of visitors in the state.
"I have visited majority of the security outfits and I can assure you that Christmas will be peaceful and beyond that, we hope that the entire state will be calm during the carnival and election period."
NAN reports that the police also recovered some cash and three locally made pistols from the suspected armed robbers.

I've sent coins from my Coindirect wallet, but they are not reflecting on the other side?
If you are a new customer at Coindirect, we may pend your withdrawal for a few days in order for our team to manually review it. We will ensure that we process the same amount of coins that your originally requested.
Once a withdrawal is released, digital currency transactions must be confirmed on the relevant blockchain before they are considered valid. Bitcoin confirmation times can take up to 60 minutes, but this time may vary and will be different for other digital currencies. Many of the newer digital currencies have shortened their network confirmation times to a few minutes. Coindirect unfortunately have no control over these confirmation times.
To check the status of a transaction, you can check the table in the following FAQ question: "Where can I check the status of a digital currency send or receive transaction?"


When Are the Most Dangerous Times on the Road?
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that roughly 36 people die in car accidents every year across the US. However, those numbers increase dramatically at certain times of the year.
During Christmas and New Year's holiday, for example, average daily deaths rise to 45 and 54, respectively. The US National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reported that over 40% of automotive deaths between Christmas and New Year's are alcohol-related.
The other big drinking holiday is Thanksgiving weekend, which is one of the busiest bar nights of the year and a prime target for drunk driving accidents.
But the summer holiday is the most dangerous of all, mainly due to the increase of drunk driving—car-related deaths in the summer add up to twice the rest of the year combined.
The peak of these 100 Deadly Days of Driving falls on 4th of July weekend, where automotive deaths soar to 144 per day. The other big drinking holiday is Thanksgiving weekend, which is one of the busiest bar nights of the year and a prime target for drunk driving accidents.
The key takeaway here is that crashes are far more likely when there are more drivers on the road, and when those drivers have been drinking. That's why summer is the most dangerous season, while major travel and drinking holidays are the most dangerous days—Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.
As far as time, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety states that the time of day with the most intoxicated drivers out and about is from midnight to 3 am.
However, pedestrians are more likely to be hurt or killed between 3 and 7 pm, overlapping the evening rush hour.
Car accidents can happen in an instant, and can totally catch you off guard. While it's impossible to avoid every bad or drunk driver on the road, at least you can do your part to avoid getting hurt—not driving while intoxicated, staying off the road late at night, and being extra vigilant on major holidays.

You can get ready for another monotonous vacation or you can explore some of the range of adventure travels that are offered. You can choose from just about anything, including mountain biking, visiting caves or a range of different recreational water activities. You should be thinking about the things that draw your attention, when making plans for your adventure travels. We will be discussing some activities and destinations for adventure travel that you may wish to keep in mind. One kind of adventure travel that is increasing in popularity is bicycle touring and that can be taken part in nearly anywhere in the world.
Bicycling tours are offered for all skill levels, so you do not have to fret if you are not into demanding bicycle trips. It is best to have some comfort riding your bicycle before going on a challenging tour, so you may want to prepare a few months before taking a long bicycle riding trip. Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia are just a handful of the locations that offer bicycle tours. You can take an easy biking tour on flat grounds or you can opt for a more strenuous mountain biking tour over some rough land.
Many people that have gone to Costa Rica love this location because of its North American proximity. Costa Rica is a Central American country that offers both tourists and adventure travelers many exciting experiences. Everything from kayaking to rafting can be done in Costa Rica – you can even sit on the beach in the warm hot summer sun. The world-famous Salsa Brava reef in the Caribbean is a place that surfers flock to several times a year. Located in the Caribbean, but also in proximity to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, Costa Rica is a great place to go if you love the water. If you enjoy watching fish, birds, or looking at a variety of other animals as a hobby, Costa Rica is a fantastic destination!
An entirely dissimilar world can be opened up to you through scuba diving. Multiple individuals have just viewed the deep sea in a movie or on the television, however if you are trained just a bit and acquire the correct equipment, you can see it on your own. One generally has to obtain their scuba certification ahead of taking any trip that pertains to scuba diving. Whether or not this is an official requirement, it's a good idea as you want to know what you're doing before going on such a trip. Individuals will be required to pay out money for scuba paraphernalia and instruction, yet when they procure it, they will have the ability to scuba dive anywhere in the world and enjoy it. That way, you can explore the waters of any exotic location you visit as well as the land. If you want to try some foreign and exotic things in your life, adventure travels can provide just the right experience.
You can test out some activities you have never tried, visit exotic locations around the world and learn about their cultures and possibly get an adrenaline rush. Check out Georgia hog hunting. The recommendations we have made in this article for adventure travel are just a few of the many different opportunities that you can consider when making plans for your adventurous vacation.

Used 2015 Porsche911 GT3 Coupe Coupe
VIN: WP0AC2A95FS183803
Dark Blue Metallic
3.8L H-6 cyl
Cylinder configuration: H-6
Engine location: rear
Rear locking differential
Tailpipe finisher: dark chrome
Wheelbase: 2,457mm (96.7")
Exterior: Dark Blue
Chassis#: FS183803
"10" - CarAdvice.au
"Giant slayer" - Motor Trend
The 2015 Porsche 911 GT3's 3.8L DOHC 24-valve F6 engine produces 475hp at 8250 rpm and 325 lb-ft of torque at 6250 rpm.
"The new, and completely stunning, engine. It's a masterpiece, nothing less" - Top Gear
The Porsche GT3 rockets from 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and produces quarter mile times in 11.3 seconds and 122.9 mph. The launch control system puts the car in the most reactive state for the fastest launch off of the line, Porsche's is said to be among the best on the market.
The GT3 has enjoyed a hugely successful racing career, with dedicated track versions winning a slew of championship and endurance races, including six wins at the 24 Hours Nurburgring and seven wins in the GT class of the American Le Mans Series.
"The GT3 is built for corners, and its performance there is even more astounding. On our skidpad, it pulled an eye-straining 1.11g average, the fourth-best performance we've ever recorded!" - Motor Trend
"I rate the new seven-speed PDK as the best dual-clutch gearbox on the market and an essential high-speed supplement for the GT3" - CarAdvice.au
Motor Trend enthuses:
"And all of this with Porsche's PDK double-clutch gearbox. Top Gear reports that the transmission and the new engine "feel utterly harmonious, two seamless components that perfectly complement each other. And what's so special is what happens when you pull a paddle at the red line, experience an utterly instantaneous drop of revs and an equally immediate take up of the next gear, right in the thick of the power band. It's a small act, but it never failed to make me grin."
This 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 is a beauty to behold. The exterior is a dark blue, the color of authority, intelligence, and dignity. Aristocracy is called "blue-blooded" in European languages, and blue is the most commonly used color in corporate identity. The supple interior is black, the color of mystery and intrigue, formality and sophistication like a little black dress or cravate noire.
"The GT3's sole gearbox, the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, is a merciless machine, with snap-action shifts and the most exacting launch program in a modern car" - Car and Driver
This beautiful 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 is a perfect example of why Ferrari of San Francisco's pre-owned cars are the most desirable on the market today.
Ferrari of San Francisco is one of the top-rated franchise dealers in North America ranked by Ferrari S.p.A. and Dealer Rater. As a leader in Ferrari's most prominent market, there are many reasons why many clients are proud to call themselves members of the Ferrari of San Francisco famiglia.

Disc springs are often used to compensate for geometric tolerances in component assemblies.
On cableways a disc spring stack generates a friction lock between the cable grip and wire cable.
Depending on the type of grip, the load can be static or dynamic.
We have a wide range of Overload Clutches to suit your budget and requirements. From manually operated machinery to wireless Bluetooth controlled equipment capable of Major Structural Automotive Repairs.
In overload clutches, disc springs provide the load required to maintain sufficient friction to transmit torque.
The load level can be regulated with adjuster nuts.
If overload occurs the transmission of torque is interrupted.
Spring stacks are used for boiler suspension systems.
The spring assemblies compensate for localised deflections in the bearing surface and thus guarantee an even lowering of the boiler with load fluctuations due to thermal expansion.
The disc spring ensures that the hydraulically actuated piston returns to its original position after the load on the coupling is released.
Tolerances and wear on the coupling components are compensated for by the horizontal characteristic of the load curve in the working range of the disc spring. This results in consistent shift quality.
In slip clutches the disc spring provides a defined axial pressure on the friction linings.
Wear on the friction linings over the life of the clutch is compensated for by the disc spring, thereby maintaining a constant torque level.
Slotted disc springs with a flat load curve are especially well suited to this type of application.
The braking load is generated by the disc springs when the hydraulic pressure to a predetermined level.
In tool clamping components, the function of the disc spring stack is to hold the tool securely in the tapered holder.
In quick-action stop valves the spring stack is hydraulically preloaded when in the open position.
If a failures occurs, the hydraulic pressure drops and the disc spring stack is released, closing the valve and thus interrupting the flow.
Often ball-centered disc spring stacks are used for this purpose.

Baylor Researcher Develops Biomarker for High-Risk Colon Cancer Metastases
Findings could help avoid overtreatment, under-treatment of colorectal cancer in patients

Newswise — A new study developed at the Center for Gastrointestinal Cancer Research and the Center for Epigenetics, Cancer Prevention and Cancer Genomics at Baylor Research Institute has discovered unique metastasis-specific microRNA signatures in primary colorectal cancers that could predict prognosis and distant metastasis in colorectal cancer.
The study, published January 30 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, originally identified the need for specific biomarkers that could predict outcomes of colorectal cancer distant metastasis in order for physicians to suggest more effective therapies. It is the second stage in a long-term colorectal cancer study, which first developed a blood test for finding cancer-related microRNA before a tumor develops in the colon.
"The challenge is when it comes to colon cancer, it's still a very common cancer," said Ajay Goel, PhD, director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Cancer Research and for Epigenetics and Cancer Prevention at Baylor Research Institute. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with distant metastasis being the major cause of mortality and serious morbidity in cancer patients. "Fifty percent of people in the U.S. aren't following recommended guidelines for colorectal cancer screening. The good news is this disease doesn't happen overnight."
Results from the study would help determine which colorectal cancer patients have a high risk of developing distant metastases, of which liver metastasis is the most common manifestation. With these findings, oncologists can better predict which patients need more extensive treatment to avoid overtreating — or undertreating — colorectal cancer in patients.
"We've been doing this a long time," said Dr. Goel. "The fundamental basis is trying to understand who has a risk of developing colorectal cancer, and then understanding which patients have higher risks of their cancer spreading to lymph nodes and other distant organs."
A third phase of Dr. Goel's and the Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Lab's study is currently underway, and Dr. Goel hopes to report new findings within the next couple of years. Researchers will take the results from the blood test and metastasis-specific microRNA study to develop markers for identifying different stages of colorectal cancer, as well as which drugs best treat those stages. If Dr. Goel and his team are successful in finding these markers, the results could help establish individualized treatment—and, ultimately, start treating the right type of cancer with the right type of drug.

Up to the point of his coronation, he had been a member of the [[Guild of Writers]]. He continued his study of the [[Art]] through private mentors for a number of years ofter his coronation. It was the lack of proper Guild instruction that most D'ni historians attribute the distorted views Shomat later took on. It was an up-and-down reign, partly due to a tremendous tension that seemed to exist between himself and his older brothers. Both of the brothers, though they had little respect, did everything in their power to make Shomat's reign tumultuous. One of the first actions Shomat ordered was construction of a [[palace]]. When completed in [[347 DE]], Shomat moved in with his family, although his brothers refused, and maintained their own homes. Such an act was regarded as a tremendous disrespect to a family and only served to widen the gap between Shomat and his brothers. Furthering tensions not only within Shomat's family but within the culture as well was the lavishness of the palace. Ornate gardens were present inside the physical grounds and [[Garden Age|"garden" Age]]s were written as well, linking from within the palace. Rumors abounded that some of these "garden" Ages were even wiped of their [[Ahrotahn|inhabitant]]s in order to provide Shomat with relaxation. Whether true or not, Shomat often spoke publically about the need for Ages to serve D'ni. This was a first for the society and a direct contradiction to what the Guilds had taught: the D'ni were to "serve" the Ages. It seems that eventually the tension became too much. Some say it drove Shomat mad. In [[387 DE]] both his brothers disappeared and were never found again. It was commonly presumed that Shomat wrote a [[Death Book]] to which both of his brothers were linked into, although it could never be proven. Regardless, it was one of the first major challenges for the people of D'ni and they reacted quickly. A [[prophet|prophetess]]<ref>Women were generally seen as much better communicators with Yahvo than men. As a result, most prophets were women.</ref> was supplied to Shomat in [[400 DE]] in an attempt to guide him in the ways of [[Yahvo]].<ref>The choosing of prophetesses, as guides for the Kings, started with Shomat and became tradition for all the remaining Kings of D'ni. It was usually up to the King as to which prophet or prophetess he would seek wisdom from. </ref> For the 155 remaining years of his reign, it seems that most people believed Shomat became a better King. The prophetess became an excellent mentor for Shomat and eventually convinced him to choose the [[Ja'kreen|son]] of one of his close friends as the heir to the throne. His own children were admittedly "out of control." As it turns out, it was the bloodline of that child that led to the birth of the Great King years later. Shomat died of natural causes at the age of 299. ==Notes== {{reflist}} {{Kings of D'ni}} [[Category:D'ni people]] [[Category:People]] [[Category:Kings of D'ni]]
