In Singapore, only public accountants or accounting firms approved by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) can act as company auditors.
Auditors will hold office from the time of their appointment until the conclusion of the company's next annual general meeting (AGM). Therefore when a newly-incorporated company first appoints an auditor, this auditor will hold office until the conclusion of the company's first AGM.
Then during the first AGM, the company will have to appoint a new accounting entity (or reappoint the same accounting entity) to act as the company's auditor until the conclusion of the next AGM. This auditor will then hold office until the conclusion of the company's subsequent AGM, and so on and so forth.
If the directors fail to appoint a company auditor, any company member may apply to the Registrar to have it appoint an auditor for the company instead.
Companies that are regarded as a "small company" for a particular financial year, or are dormant, are exempt from audit requirements. These companies therefore do not need to appoint auditors (or have their financial statements audited) for that financial year.

This is known as the VAT or Value Added Tax in some other countries, and this means that GST is another consumption tax, which is levied on supply of goods as well as services as well as the import of these goods into Singapore.
GST is another indirect tax and often expressed in terms of percentage (current rate at 7%) and it is applied to selling price of goods as well as services provided. You will remit the net amount after setting off with allowed input taxes on your purchase, etc to the tax authorities. GST is neither income nor expense as you will be collection agent on behalf of Government from the consumers.
This means that you need to register your company if you want to have humble time enjoying the types of services that you offer to your customers.

Intended activities of the company may or even may not need a business licence. Whenever your company needs a licence, the managers must apply to obtain all necessary approval prior to commencing offering products or services through their business activities.
You can commence your business operations only after obtaining one or more business licences which depends on the nature of your businesses. Employment agency, educational institutions, restaurants, travel agencies, financial services, import-export related trades, etc. are falling under this category as some examples to be applied with specific licences.
Every company must always keep accounting as well as other records essential to explain their transactions as well as their financial position and to allow for a profit and loss account before preparing a balance sheet. These accounting records need to be kept for five years after completion of the essential operations or transactions. Each director has a right to inspect these accounting records at any time.
Every time change occurs in particulars of company or even to its officers and shareholders, changes must also be lodged with the Registrar of Companies and on failure, this will always incur penalties.

Private companies must hold a general meeting to lay financial statements if any member or auditor requests for it no later than 14 days after the financial statements are sent out. Directors must, within 14 days after the date of request, hold a general meeting to lay the financial statements.
Private dormant relevant companies*, which are exempt from preparing financial statements, do not need to hold AGMs, subject to the above safeguards.
*A private dormant relevant company is a private company which is dormant, not listed (or not a subsidiary of a listed company); and has total assets less than or equal to $500,000 (consolidated value if it is an ultimate parent).
A private company need not hold AGMs if all the members pass a resolution to dispense with the holding of annual general meetings. Companies may pass written resolutions for matters that would have been tabled at an AGM. The written resolutions may be circulated via hardcopies or other legible form (such as e-mails) as agreed upon by the company and the members.
You can apply for an Extension of Time (EOT) of up to 60 days, if you need to delay holding the AGM or filing the annual return.
An EOT application can be made by a company officer (e.g. company secretary or director), or by a professional firm on behalf of your company.
The application fee is $200.
Provide the reasons for the application (Listed companies are to attach the reasons for the application, along with any relevant documents, including any comments by SGX on the application).
Once the EOT application is successfully submitted, a confirmation email will be sent by ACRA to the person making the application.

Q: Preferred request handler interface to implement AWS Lambda I am writing an AWS lambda in Java. Lambda provides two interfaces to implement the request handler.

*

*RequestHandler - Uses lambda's serialization for converting input request to InputPojo and vice versa for output.

*RequestStreamHandler – Implementor writes serialization-deserialization logic on input/output stream.

I could not find documentation on serialization behavior of Lambda. I am not sure of questions like

*

*Will the serde ignore unknown properties?

*Will the serde ignore null
fields?

*How to i specify names of json fields

*Can the above behavior change in future?

I wanted to use Jackson annotations to have more control on this. But the documentation specifically states
"You shouldn't rely on any other features of serialization frameworks such as annotations.."
So I am planning to use the second interface.
Before proceeding, given all above, want to check the recommended interface to use? which to use when?
Thanks

Miracle in the Andes: An Unforgettable Survival Tale
Stewart L
News and SHTF Events, Skills You Need
5 November 2019, 10:29 AM
Forty-seven years ago this month, an Uruguayan Air Force charter plane took off carrying the nation's rugby team en route to a match in neighboring Chile. The flight never made it. Flying over the majestic Andes mountains, the inexperienced pilot ignored his instrument panel and crashed the plane into the side of a mountain.
The forward part of the fuselage containing the 45 team members, their coach, and the pilot and crew slid down the side of the mountain. Seventeen of the passengers died from the crash's impact. The survivors, completely unfamiliar with the snow and cold, fashioned a makeshift shelter and desperately tried to survive the night hoping they might be rescued the next morning
Instead, for the next 72 days, they huddled together and prayed for help. They had virtually no food and at one point took to eating the stuffing from the seat cushions.
But as one after another succumbed to the elements, the survivors were forced to contemplate a more horrific solution: Cannibalism.
Together the survivors formed a pact: Whoever died would become food for the others.
The story of Flight 571 and the so-called "Miracle of the Andes" is the stuff of legend now. Several of the 16 survivors would eventually write books and the story of their ordeal also led to a 1993 movie that widely publicized their story and caused an international sensation.
How they managed to stay alive after rescuers had given up on them and they were left without protective clothing or food except for candy bars, peanuts and wine was beyond remarkable.
Eventually, as the number of survivors began to dwindle and the situation became dire, two men decided to set out on an expedition across the mountains in search of help. It took them ten days on an 80-mile trek to reach the outskirts of settlements and to encounter human life. A Chilean mountaineer that made contact with them rode ten hours on horseback for help.
Search planes from three countries began looking for them and eventually, they found the remains of the white plane barely detectable against the snowy landscape.
One of the survivors' main concerns was their belief that the public would judge them harshly for having engaged in cannibalism to survive. They tried to conceal those facts from the public but word leaked out along with a photo of a partially consumed leg.
There was a brief backlash initially but it subsided once the public learned of the group's pact. A priest involved in the aftermath publicly forgave the survivors for engaging in anthropophagy (the eating of flesh), which is forbidden under Catholic religious doctrine. At a public event, survivors compared their sharing of flesh to Christ's Last Supper, adding to the mystical quality of their survival.
It's hard to second-guess the decisions of those who lived through this ordeal, arguably the worst recorded survival experience in modern times. The survivors of the crash might have tried to mark their plane or a nearby peak with bright clothing to aid the rescuers that first searched for them. The survivors saw those planes but the planes failed to detect them. A signal fire might have provided additional marking of the crash site.
The two survivors that decided to walk from the site in search of help went in the wrong direction, adding miles to their journey. They might have read the terrain better. In the end, they did decide to follow the valleys low in search of water, a decision they might have made earlier. It may have saved additional lives.
The real lessons from the "Miracle in the Andes" were felt in the lives of the survivors. In his 2006 memoir, Nando Parrado, who lost his mother and sister in the disaster, and was one of the two survivors who trekked in search of help, said the experience taught him the enduring value of human relationships.
They call the crash a "disaster story," he noted in a 2015 interview, "but in fact, it was a love story."
"I wanted to get home to my father. I tell young people all the time when you are alone and dying on the top of a mountain, you do not miss your car or your stereo — you miss the loving embrace of your family."
Another survivor, Roberto Canessa, decided to dedicate himself to saving lives by becoming a doctor. He said the biggest lesson he learned is that those with a strong faith and a belief in the power and wonder of human existence are the most resilient — and can survive where others may lose hope and perish.
"I believe this was a kind of experiment by a malicious hand that decided to throw onto the mountain a group of young rugby players," he noted in a 2016 interview.
"University students with education and a belief in God—ideal guinea pigs for an experiment in human behavior. Who survived? It wasn't the smartest, most intelligent ones. The ones who survived were those who most felt the joy of living. That gave them a reason to endure."

The crack-up
Does inequality cause suicide, drug abuse and mental illness?
In "The Inner Level", the authors of "The Spirit Level" argue that it does
Books and artsJun 14th 2018 edition
The Inner Level: How More Equal Societies Reduce Stress, Restore Sanity and Improve Everyone's Well-being. By Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. Allen Lane; 352 pages; £20. To be published in America by Penguin Press in January 2019; $28.
THERE is something peculiarly haunting about the recent suicides of Kate Spade, a well-known designer, and Anthony Bourdain, a chef and author (see Obituary). Evidently success—building brands and businesses, achieving wealth and fame—does not ease the psychic pain that many people suffer. Even at the top of the capitalist pyramid, these deaths insist, there is no escape from inner demons. That sad rule applies to nations as much as celebrities. Nearly 45,000 Americans took their own lives in 2016, an increase of almost 30% since 1999, according to new figures released by the Centres for Disease Control. Another 42,000 died from opioid overdoses, victims of America's drug epidemic. The world's richest large country, the city on a hill, sometimes seems to be coming apart. But why?
In "The Sane Society", published in 1955, Erich Fromm, a German-American psychologist and philosopher, asked whether a society could grow sick—whether conditions within it might so distress the inhabitants as to generate mass mental illness. Fromm's argument focused on the strains of economic life at the time he was writing, such as the tendency to work long hours in pursuit of ever more consumer goods. In recent decades globalisation and mechanisation have added new kinds of worry. Yet, so far as mental health is concerned, the pain of these trials has not been evenly distributed.
In a paper published in 2010, Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson found that about one in ten people in Japan and Germany suffered some form of mental illness in the year they studied, compared with one in five Britons and Australians and one in four Americans. If economic ups and downs are the source of such troubles, they seem to have torn at the minds of citizens in some societies more than others.
The key to the puzzle, Ms Pickett and Mr Wilkinson argue in their new book, "The Inner Level", is inequality. When the distribution of income spreads apart, a society begins to malfunction, affecting the mental health of everyone living within it.
Curse of the social animal
The pair have addressed the subject before. In "The Spirit Level", a bestseller released in 2009, they sought to demonstrate a link between high levels of inequality and all manner of social ills, from poor health and obesity, to crime and violence, to educational failure and low social mobility. The more unequal a society, they wrote, the worse it was likely to perform on such measures. Indeed, the social damage wrought by inequality might be severe enough that the rich in less equal societies would benefit from efforts to even things up. The book attracted its share of criticism, as theories of everything tend to, in particular for confusing correlations with causality. Nonetheless, it helped to inspire a burgeoning debate about the costs of widening inequality.
"The Inner Level" seeks to push that debate forward, by linking inequality to a crisis of mental health. This time the authors' argument focuses on status anxiety: stress related to fears about individuals' places in social hierarchies. Anxiety declines as incomes rise, they show, but is higher at all levels in more unequal countries—to the extent that the richest 10% of people in high-inequality countries are more socially anxious than all but the bottom 10% in low-inequality countries. Anxiety contributes to a variety of mental-health problems, including depression, narcissism and schizophrenia—rates of which are alarming in the West, the authors say, and rise with inequality.
Manifestations of mental illness, such as self-harm, drug and alcohol abuse and problem gambling, all seem to get worse with income dispersion, too. Such relationships seem to apply within countries as well as between them. Damaging drug use is higher in more unequal neighbourhoods of New York City, in more unequal American states and in more unequal countries. The authors emphasise that it is a person's relative position rather than absolute income that matters most. A study of 30,000 Britons found that an individual's place in the income hierarchy predicted the incidence of mental stress more accurately than absolute income did. And in America, relative income is more closely linked to depression than absolute income. It is not enough to lift all boats, their work suggests, if the poshest vessels are always buoyed up more than the humblest.
The fact that relative status matters so much is a result of human beings' intrinsically social nature, Ms Pickett and Mr Wilkinson argue. Group interaction and co-operation have been an essential component of humanity's evolutionary success; indeed, the authors say, its social nature helped drive the growth of human brains. Across primates, they write, the size of the neocortex—a part of the brain responsible for higher-level cognitive functions—varies with the typical group size of a species. Living in complex social groups is hard cognitive work. Survival requires an understanding of roles within the social hierarchy, and intuition of what others are thinking. Thus people are necessarily sensitive to their status within groups, and to social developments that threaten it.
Such hierarchies are found in all human societies. But as inequality rises, differences in status become harder to ignore. There is more to be gained or lost by moving from one rung on the ladder to another. And however much some maintain that disparities in pay-cheques do not correspond to differences in human worth, such well-meaning pieties feel hollow when high-rollers earn hundreds or thousands of times what ordinary folk take home. Money cannot buy everything, but it can buy most things. The steeper the income gradient, the less secure everyone becomes, in both their self-respect and their sense of the community's esteem.
And so people compensate. They take pills, to steel their nerves or dull the pain. Some cut themselves. Some adopt a more submissive posture, avoiding contact with others. Yet such withdrawal can feed on itself, depriving recluses of the social interaction that is important to mental health, undermining relationships and careers and contributing to economic hardship.
Others respond in the opposite way, by behaving more aggressively and egotistically. Studies of narcissistic tendencies showed a steep increase between 1982 and 2006, the authors report; 30% more Americans displayed narcissistic characteristics at the end of the period than at the beginning. Scrutiny of successive American cohorts found a progressive rise in those listing wealth and fame as important goals (above fulfilment and community). Over time, more people cited money as the main motivation for attending college (rather than intellectual enrichment).
Domineering responses to anxiety are associated with loss of empathy and delusions of grandeur. Thus highly successful people often display narcissistic or even psychopathic behaviour. In surveys, the rich are generally less empathetic and more likely to think they deserve special treatment than others. Modern capitalism, the authors suggest, selects for assertiveness, for a lack of sentimentality in business and comfort in sacking underlings, and for showy displays of economic strength. From the top to the bottom of the income spectrum, people use conspicuous consumption and other means of enhancing their image to project status.
The least secure are often the most likely to exaggerate their qualities. For example, countries with lower average life-expectancy tend to do better on measures of self-reported health; 54% of Japanese say they are in good health compared with 80% of Americans, though the Japanese live five years longer on average. Whereas 70% of Swedes consider themselves to be above-average drivers, 90% of Americans do. Such figures cast declamations of America's greatness, and the politicians who make them, in a new light.
"The Inner Level" is not a page-turner in the usual sense. But it holds readers' attention by elaborating a phenomenon most will already have observed, and by providing an explanation for the dysfunction they see around them, from the brazen disregard for rules among many corporate and political leaders to the nihilism of drug addicts and school-shooters. And yet the idea that inequality alone is responsible for all this, and that reducing inequality will solve it, does not in the end convince.
That is partly because the authors are not always as circumspect with their evidence as they should be. They declare, for instance, that "growth has largely finished its work", and that "higher average material standards in the rich countries no longer improve well-being". This is a controversial judgment. Work by another pair of analysts, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, concludes that, "If there is a satiation point" beyond which income no longer boosts subjective well-being, "we are yet to reach it." Moreover, the highly egalitarian policies of the post-war decades were themselves made feasible by rapid economic growth. Slower growth in recent years has strengthened the hands of political leaders looking to trim the safety-net.
So the link between growth and equality is stronger than the authors allow. More important, they aver that inequality causes stress without admitting the possibility that some other factor is contributing to both, or indeed that social breakdown contributes to inequality. They argue, for instance, that "social cohesion is reduced in more unequal societies", noting that higher inequality is associated with less willingness to help others, diminished levels of trust, and lower participation in civic groups, from recreational clubs to unions. But causation almost certainly runs in the other direction as well. Civic institutions foster solidarity, reminding citizens that there is such a thing as society. Research suggests that higher levels of "social capital" are associated with more support for redistribution and welfare states.
Towards a great awakening
That is not to say that close community ties are an unalloyed good. They constrain individual freedom, increase suspicion of outsiders and discourage mobility, all of which limit a place's dynamism and inventiveness. But low levels of trust, poor governance and corruption do all that too. The ideal, perhaps, is a world in which strong communities help individuals to thrive—a Nordic model, producing high incomes, low inequality and rosy levels of well-being. Unfortunately, such societies cannot simply be conjured out of a hat.
Which is one reason to be sceptical of the policies proposed by Ms Pickett and Mr Wilkinson, such as an infusion of "economic democracy". Worker representation on boards is one suggestion; a move towards employee-owned or co-operative-style firms is another. These are not crazy ideas. Worker representation in Germany has probably dampened inequality without making the country an economic backwater. But it is hard to imagine that such schemes alone could put a broken society back together. Reversing the cycle of institutional fraying, gaping inequality and mental distress seems likely to require a much broader civic rejuvenation.
That is not impossible. American history has been punctuated by civic awakenings that yielded social, political and economic reforms. Those movements were generally bottom-up affairs, however, powered by a sense of purpose and moral outrage. Whether America, Britain or other sickly places retain the capacity for such mobilisations is an open question.

Too Much Hype
Well, it happened again. Apple started the hype machine rolling over a new, top-secret product. All that they revealed was that it would be "the next big thing," but "not a Mac." Then the rumors started flying. "It's a PDA/TiVO/game console/AirPort-connected/Postage-stamp sized handheld that costs under $200!" Anything less would be a disappointment. Then, after all the hype and anticipation, October 23rd finally came, and Steve Jobs unveiled Apple's new iPod MP3 player. The Mac community responded with a collective groan.
This is what all the fuss was about?
The blame has to fall squarely on Jobs' shoulders. He throws about terms like "revolutionary" and "stunning" and phrases like "never before possible" and "nothing like this before" so cavalierly that almost anything Apple's engineers come up with will pale in comparison to his hype. No, the iPod isn't revolutionary, and it isn't cheap (Steve still manages the former from time to time, while leaving the latter to his buddy, Michael Dell), but it is a small, light MP3 player with lots of space and a blazing transfer rate. So what are its strengths and its weaknesses?
It Has FireWire
Perhaps Apple's biggest innovation is incorporating a FireWire interface in an MP3 player. This gives iPod two distinct advantages. First, the transfer speeds are dramatically improved. 5 GB of MP3s makes more sense when you can load them in a reasonable time. USB is way too slow for large numbers of audio file transfers, even those in the highly compressed MP3 format. Second, the FireWire cable also carries power, so your Mac can recharge your iPod while it's synchronizing your music.
This is worth at least some fuss.
It's Also a Hard Drive
What if you don't have a hundred CDs encoded on your hard drive ready to load onto iPod? You can use it as a portable FireWire hard drive as well. A 5 GB FireWire hard drive the size of a deck of cards is pretty cool, too.
It's Not Only Small, It's Light
The point of MP3 players is portability. At 6.5 oz., iPod has set a new standard for portability. It also meets Jobs' definition of "sex appeal," which he used in January when comparing the Power Book G4's form factor with the Sony VAIO's.
It's not perfect. It costs a hefty $399, placing it out of the range of the average teen or twenty-something who would be Apple's most likely customer. It only works on a Mac, and only on either Mac OS X 10.1 or Mac OS 9.2.1. If you've been hanging out with OS 8.6, 9.04, or even 9.1, waiting for the dust to clear around OS X, you're out of luck (though I suppose the drive would still mount, and you could transfer the files manually). It also lacks a line level out (though an RCA adapter will get around this limitation) and, most significantly, an audio input.
What's So Important About An Audio Input?
At the moment, iPod is just the latest, and priciest, in a long line of MP3 players. With an audio input and portable microphones equal in quality to the audio output and included headphones, Apple would have a device that would compete with MP3 players, MiniDisc recorders, and even portable DATs. That's a lot more value, and would warrant the $399 price tag.
How Does iPod Compare?
Finally, let's get an idea of how iPod stacks up against the competition. A comparison like this is far less than complete, as it cannot take into account the intangibles of the individual owner's taste and temperament, but it's a good starting point.

Mac OS Requirements 10.1 or 9.2.1 8.6 8.6
Syncs with iTunes2 Yes No No
There are other players in iPod's price range with 20 GB of storage (such as the $349 list Neo), but who wants to take the time to transfer 20 GB via USB?
Initial Opinion, Sight Unseen
Among MP3 players with similar capacity, iPod has the decided edge. It's the first FireWire-enabled MP3 player, it's small and lightweight, and it also has the extra bonus of synchronizing with iTunes2 (due out this month). But will it sell at $399 in a tight economy? Only time will tell.

Speaking as a member of the target audience of the iPod, I agree that it's way too expensive. It's an awesome product, maybe not revolutionary, but very cool nonetheless. If it's a choice between this and tuition, however, I think I'd have to pass on the iPod.
anonymous · November 8, 2001 - 00:27 EST #2
Who is the iPod aimed at? Is it aimed at college students? Obviously not. Is it aimed at rich kids in a Mac household as a Christmas present? YES! Is that a large enough audience? Nope! Well, I guess we forgot about those people that don't mind buying an iMac for $799 then adding on more than half that price for an MP3 player! It's funny to look at the online Apple store and see NEW IMAC, $799 and NEW MP3 PLAYER, $399. Does anyone else notice something wrong with that? It's like NEW CAR, $30,000 and NEW BICYCLE, $20,000.
Robert Emslie · November 8, 2001 - 09:42 EST #3
Why this price? Apple carries other brands of MP3 players in their brick-and-mortar stores. I guess pricing the iPod at $299 would whack the competition and they'd sell a lot fewer of the other brands. I think they want to keep their selection in each digital device section, low-pricing the iPod would defy that logic. And I'm sure they're bound to announce a special $349 Christmas offering! Microphones? I guess Apple will supply a whole choice of Apple- and third party-branded Firewire microphones along with the iPod: mixdown boxes, multiple line-level inputs, whatever. Imagine using your iPod to record a 4-track jam session. I mean a real 4-track AIFF that you could master in Cubase VST, for instance. Think out of the box, friends. Apple axed the 5 1/4" floppy, the floppy drive itself, legacy inputs, and analogue audio input! The last item seems as a brainless amputation, but consider this: mainstream audio will kiss old analogue wires goodbye anytime soon (Sony heralds this with the iLink in a lot of mainstream and pro equipment) and Yamaha is promoting the new mLan system to replace MIDI AND classic audio connectivity. What is mLan is based on? Firewire! Check it out on Yamaha's site. It only promises good things for the development of Firewire audio!
Bruce Johnson · November 14, 2001 - 18:36 EST #4
Look at the specs on competing devices. Yeah they're cheaper, they're also twice the weight, and use USB instead of Firewire connectivity--more than twice the wait. The iPod synchs with iTunes and has an enormous RAM cache which figures into the extended battery life. Also, where on earth is everyone getting the idea that teenyboppers and twentysomethings are the primary target for these things? As soon as Toshiba can make bigger drives this size, the iPod will get a bigger capacity, since they're the only ones with drives that small.

The history of Bethel Tabernacle is rich in Christian sacrifice, determination, and a great family heritage. This history began with Oliver F. Fauss. It all started in 1929, when Oliver F. Fauss and his wife, Jewel, felt the calling of the Lord to build a church for the glory of God in Houston, Texas.
For four years, Pastor and Mrs. Oliver F. Fauss, family, and congregation worshiped in rented halls and tents. During one period of time, services were held under the trees in a public park. This church began during the onset of the Great Depression. In 1934, the church located a five-room building on North Palmer Street. This place was converted to a church. In 1940, a stone building was built at 116 North Palmer Street. As God continued to bless the church with souls, the congregation eventually outgrew the building.
In 1953, the church relocated to a new facility at 8902 Irvington Blvd. At this new location, the Lord continued to bless the church for many years.
Pastor Orlin R. Fauss was 1 year old when his parents moved to Houston to begin Bethel Tabernacle. He grew up watching and participating in the establishment and growth of Bethel. After graduating from Milby High School in Houston he graduated from Apostolic Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1947, he and his wife, Lois, entered the ministry as traveling evangelists. Their travels were throughout Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Rev. O. R. Fauss, together with his wife, Lois, and three sons, moved to Houston in January 1960. They moved from Shady Grove, Jena, Louisiana to help his father, the late Oliver F. Fauss, the founder of the church.
In 1976, a new sanctuary was built at 14615 Aldine-Westfield Rd. In 1978, Pastor O.R. Fauss felt the need for Christian education and Bethel Christian Academy was founded. BCA has graduated hundreds of students over the past 29 years. For over 47 years, Pastor and Mrs. O.R. Fauss were the wonderful pastors of Bethel Tabernacle. Literally, many hundreds of people have been saved and touched by the powerful pastoral ministry of Pastor O.R. Fauss. Many of these are scattered throughout churches in the Houston area serving the Lord.
Rev. David L Fauss, son of Rev. and Mrs. O.R. Fauss rejoined his father as Pastor of Bethel Tabernacle in September of 1998. His history with Bethel spans many years of ministry including 11 years of pastoral ministry from 1979-1990. During this period, Bethel experienced great revival and growth, and BCA also dedicated a new facility during this time.
In 2004, God led Bethel Tabernacle to relocate to the present facility on FM 1960.
Pastor and Mrs. David Fauss are leading this wonderful church in tremendous growth and Holy Ghost Revival.

Clients often come to me with the same questions: where should I start? What should I focus on to make the biggest impact?
Some people will say your kitchen, others your bathrooms. As a designer, my answer is always your entry. This is the first place that your guests will see on arrival and it's so often overlooked both architecturally and decoratively. Why not make it great? Why not make it pop?
I like to create a moment and give the best possible first impression.
I love an entry that's inviting and sets the tone for what's to come. When you consider what effect design has on a space, I measure the impact not in how it looks but how it feels. Does the space feel calming? Polished? Comfortable? The entry is the space to establish these feelings as you carry them through the home. It is where you state your identity, establish your style and tell your story.

The term "elder law" was first coined in the late 90's to describe any form of law relating to senior citizens and their legal problems. This might consist of healthcare, proficiency, age discrimination, estate planning, Social Security survivors' benefits and numerous other topics that often affect anybody who is past retirement age. If you are over 65 and have questions about any of these concerns, make certain you consult with a lawyer experienced in elder law.
This is an area of elder law that senior individuals can benefit; it is the United States health program that is aimed at helping households with low incomes and resources. Privileges for individuals with impairment and other nursing home care concerns - it is really essential because senior individuals are more susceptible to sickness and other health problems that might cost some major amount of assets.
A legal guardianship has to do with the duties of an individual appointed by a court to manage mentally incompetent senior citizens and this might cover their welfare and security. The guardian can decide on spending read the elder's money, where the elder will live, and medical care.

Nevertheless, troubles occur when ones attempt to have the elder create such authorized documents when their emotional capacities remain to be in jeopardy.

Hiring elder law lawyers to draft these papers is an important service, which ensures clients that their desires and instructions shall be followed on the occasion that they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves. When it pertains to elder law, legal representatives have the understanding and experience to draft the proper files and papers to keep you, your loved ones and your properties protected.
Senior financial abuse cases are where financial predators use excessive control and bullying to take residential or commercial property and money from senior citizens who have actually decreased mental capacity. The criminals can be anyone, however are typically members of the family, caregivers or good friends who have the most access to the senior and are not likely to be challenged by outsiders.
An elder law lawyer might likewise be required in any of the following cases, conflicts having to do with Medicaid, helping with monetary management and health-care decisions, administration and management of trusts and estates and long-term care planning for assisted living home. They might function as estate coordinators, tax advisors, accountants, client's supporter and even social workers. Whatever the situation, you would wish to get your loved one an elder law attorney to look after his or her interests in old age.
The probate procedure allows a decedent's estate to be distributed to loved ones after death. With the appropriate use of trusts and wills, the probate procedure might not be necessary. Nevertheless, if no previous estate preparation was accomplished, then it might be required to make use of the probate court in order to complete the distribution of properties.
Assisted living home abuse or disregard of a nursing home patient usually results from insufficient staffing where there are too many patients and inadequate nursing assistants. Sometimes, this is a conscious policy on the part of the retirement home who puts business earnings ahead of client care. Fortunately, there are many legal solutions readily available to stop these wrongful acts and to compensate the senior victim for injuries suffered.
When an elder is not able to make sound monetary and healthcare choices and no other options are offered, then a demand can be made to the court to establish a conservatorship and designate someone to have the legal authority to make such choices. This is an involved procedure but offers a solution to help look these up a senior who can no longer safeguard their affairs.
There are countless firms that concentrate on elder law concerns. The very best senior attorneys belong to at least one of these organizations in order to take advantage of the many advantages of fellowship, consisting of advocacy and research groups. On the local level, ask if the law office is an active member of the area Council on Aging or any equivalent groups.
If an attorney regularly provides lectures or has speaking engagements on various issues facing those get the facts 65 or older or is an attorney hired to educate others through the Bar Association, you can be sure she or he has an in-depth understanding of any problems dealing with the elderly. Look for Bessemer Pennsylvania elder law attorneys who frequently teach others about elder concerns, estate planning, elder abuse, competency concerns, and healthcare concerns.

A heart touching post, Karen. One of the many reasons why I admire you, my friend.
Such a great post. Sharing.
Mouthwatering meatloaf muffins! I like it spicy.
Thanks for supporting my very favorite charity! (I think you know I serve as a volunteer chef educator for CMC and am on the advisory board for them as well.) Would love to have you help out more with the organization if you have the time - just give me a call and thanks for doing this post!
I saw that you are donating one of the prizes for this challenge so I am now aware then that you are quite involved with them. You are such a powerhouse, they are fortunate to have you in their corner. It is a wonderful program. If you every need my help, just let me know.
Great recipe! You make me feel very fortunate. Cooking matter is a great program.
It is a great program and I hope that all my Colorado blogger friends will join in the challenge. Not only is it fun, but it really makes you think about what food means to others.
Karen, what a special post and a meaningful way to spend your time helping others. Thanks for sharing.
I'm impressed with what you were able to pull together and stay within budget; I think it's easy to lose sight of what it can really mean for some folks to stretch every dollar and feed a family on such a tight budget.
It is a great organization; thanks for coming with me. Now I need to get on the ball; I might miss this challenge but I still feel compelled to work with the Mac & Cheese recipe we were given; wondering if I could up the flavor profile a bit without increasing the expense. That's another challenge altogether!
Thanks for bringing this great project to our attention. So many do need to eat on a budget but why should it be boring. This is perfect.

Chef hails the bus for Red Light stop
Anne Ford
Jackie Shen takes two buses to work. Photo: Andreas Larsson
Executive chef Jackie Shen is accustomed to being observed. At Randolph Street Market District restaurant Red Light, she prepares pan-Asian food in an open kitchen under the curious eyes of nearby diners. But during her daily commute on the No. 72 North Avenue and No. 8 Halsted Street buses, she's the one doing the people-watching.
Why do you take the CTA instead of driving?
No. 1 is convenience. Chicago's transportation is the safest and the cleanest. Also because of the cost savings. Also, my driver's license expired.
What do you do on the bus?
I usually read, but when I get tired of reading, I study people. I think, "I'd really like to know your life story." I'm not a very, very social person, but I usually start a conversation, for some reason. Some people, you just get connected. Some people, you turn your head and read your paper.
What kind of people do you encounter?
You see yuppies on the bus, working people on the bus. You know how the newspaper says Americans are getting chubbier? You get some of those. What I usually do is, if that person sits across from me, I think, "If I were this chubby, how would I feel about my life? How would I feel sitting there taking up two seats?"
Do you get to know the drivers?
My regular bus driver is Marvin. He's real cool. I always catch him. Once I was like half a block from the bus stop (when the bus arrived) and thought, "Crap!" I knew I couldn't catch that bus. Suddenly he stopped in the intersection, said "Come on in!" and let me get on.
Any unpleasant situations?
One time I got really mad because some kids put two bags on an empty seat in a crowded bus. Being me with my big mouth, I said, "Would you please just put those bags under the seat?"
And did they?
Yes. People at work tell me I have a look of death.

I think every Major League outfielder played infield at some point. Usually they were all shortstops on their Little League teams. I was messing around and fielding ground balls in Toronto when they had some young kids coming up in the outfield like Adam Lind and guys who could swing the bat and they were flirting with the idea of moving me to second base. I took some ground balls, but I'm a lot more comfortable out in the oufield, and we'll leave it at that.
We've got some guys in the middle of the order who are big production guys who are out of the lineup, and that makes it tough. To say we're not going to miss guys like Ramy and Milton, you're just kidding yourself. You're going to miss them. At the same time, this team has pride in how deep we are off the bench. Over a 162-game schedule, you're going to have injuries and guys off the bench will need to step up and fill in those spots and hold down the fort until they get back. That's what we'll try to do in this situation. Hopefully, none of the injuries are that serious. We'll have those guys back and hopefully Marmol back ASAP because we're going to need all of them.
Kind of missing DeRosa right now, aren't we? Hang in there guys. We are lucky to have you, Reed to take care of the outfield, that's for sure!
what in the world is going on!!!! the team is not a team, everybody is playing for themselves. no bullpin at all!!!! right now this bunch of guys STINK!!!! this is not the cubs. DLee.Soto. Bradley cant hit, bullpin cant get anybody out.
time for some buttkickin!!!! did we start were we left off last year?
Reed your awsome, you theriot, fontenot, fukudome all u small guys can play u guys play as a team now that needs to rub off on all the other guys like soriano and lee those 2 arnt really good right now and this team is scaring us right now but i hope u guys pull it together quick cuz im sorry u guys are not palying like the NL central central u guys should be defending ur title, LETS GO CUBS I KNOW U CAN DO IT but playing like u have been wont get u anywhere GO CUBS!!!!
Good luck! It is tough when guys gets hurt. Stay healthy!
Ok, how can you say that the Cubs are going to miss Bradley when he wasn't even a regular until this year and he is batting .043. Bradley acts like he is so tough let him put up or shut up… the Cub players and coaches need to stop defending the guy and let him get his act together or trade him. Supposedly Bradley was going to be such a great signing so far he doesn't deserve to wear number 21. As far as I am concerned, Hoffpauir has done more when given the opportunity to play. Hoffpower had a great knock against the Reds to open the series and he should continue to play. The Cubs have a great outfield with Sori, Reed, and Fuku ( leave Bradley out of the equation until he proves otherwise). Bradley wasn't even a good mix for the Cubs. All he does his create a lot of controversy. Why the Cubs signed him is beyond me and they could have saved themselves $30 million. Hey, but it's only money. Go Cubs!
I'm about Lou Piniellas age, and I seem to remember that teams used to start the season with 40 players, and had to trim the roster down before May 15. If it were that way now, the Cubs would be in better shape. There is no way to anticipate who will get injured, but reality is that a team can carry no more than 13 position players, and if more than one is injured, there is no bench. I know some fans miss DeRosa, but he was just as stubborn about playing second base, as Soriano is about leading off. DeRosa is too tall to play 2b. and is much better at third, but, of course, we have Aramis. Miles is much more versatile, even if he doesn't hit as well, and will prove to be a good trade. As for Fontenot, he has been holding down 3rd as though he had played it for years. At least we don't have to miss Aramis' glove. Even during his hitting slump, Mike has been showing hustle both in the field, and at the plate. The attitude that you and Mike have been showing will eventually rub off on the others, and when it does, the team will take off. By September , even the biggest players will be looking up to you and quiet little Mike.
Watch a full game and you can see who cares and who does not. Theriot, Fontenot,YOU all seem to care, but the rest, Ah Boo!
Good luck making it through the year, but I can tell all Cubs this… Maybe next year!
Keep going to Wrigley and wasting your money!
I love the Cubs, but I can hardly watch anymore. I don't feel the teamwork. I see a lot of individual players and I have a hard time liking any of them. I want to see some small ball and some passion.
I hope I get the "Cub" feeling back, but it is hard to watch.
What's with the ugly beard? I think it is interfering with your bat. Get rid of it Puleeeeese.
Hang in there with the injuries rub some dirt on it and get back to playing the game. GO CUBS GO.
All I can see one of the biggest mistakes the Cubs have ever made is trading away Mark Derosa…..we could sure use him now! He played any position he was asked to play and I never read or heard he complained…he played with enthusiasm and played every position to the best of his ability…you could count on him……it's so great to see Theriot,Fontenot and Reed play like Derosa does…you can see they love playing baseball…..and they never stop trying their hardest……I miss DeRo!
I'm glad to see you getting more playing time, Reed. I for one, like the beard!
It's been a rough week, but today's game showed you guys are still alive. Know that the fans are still going to cheer you on, and that we still love and appreciate all that you do for this team.
Please fans, it's not even May and some of you have already lost hope? What's that about? When players get hurt, when things seem to go down hill, that's when you show your true colors as a fan. In 2 months they will be on a winning streak and you will be saying "Oh yeah, it's gonna happen this year". It's April. Be reasonable! So come on Cubs fans! You don't want to have it on your conscience that you almost stopped being a fan ( you probably weren't actually serious, were you?). True Cubs fans always bleed that blue even during a slump. Let's show some support for the club and players we know so well.
Reed, I am a devoted fan. Thank you for always giving your all. You too Lil' Font! Your awesome and so is your hair!
Guys, I will forever bleed that famous blue!
As you have been all season… You are again totally right that it takes an entire team!! In situations like this, with starters hurt, I am very thankful that you Mr. Johnson are in a CUBS uniform. Your love for the game and your positive attitude is what baseball is all about!! Thanks for being a CUB!
I must say watching the games the past few days has been heartbreaking and just painful. Today you came out and kicked a** and on my birthday no less. It was the only present I wanted, a Cubs win. It's funny I forgot it was Kosuke's birthday today too until Len and Bob brought it up. Thanks for the win today, you made this Cubs girl very happy. 😀 Keep your head up. You'll get everyone back at full strength soon and will be a force to be reckoned with.
We can all thank Todd Wellemeyer for yesterday. THANK YOU Wellemeyer!!!! You guys are lookin flat and need to find a different look on this tough road trip. Lets buck up out there and scratch out some W's. Go Cubs Go!!
Keep up the positive attitude. You guys will be just fine.
Thats why you play 162 games a year. One game at a time.
GOOD LUCK 2 U ALL!!
To all of my fellow die-hard Cubs fans: please try to relax. It's only April, and we are only 3 games back. Division championships can't be won in April, and we are certainly not losing this thing in April. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and the Cubs will be just fine in 2009.
Also, Reed, keep up the good work. I love watching you play. You are fun to watch.
All you can do now is play as hard as you can with the guys who step between the lines. Hats off to Soriano for staying in the game after being hit in the head.
All you can do is play hard with the guys who can take the field. Hats off to Soriano for staying in the game Sunday.
Reed—I must say that I certainly appreciate your comments on teamwork. Too often in this world that concept in lost. I've always been a fan of baseball though never much of a Cubs fan but that has all changed for me now. My son, Reid, heard your name one day last summer while i watching a game. He thought it was the greatest thing ever that there was a ball player who has the same name as him. If he's going to to look up to a professional ball player, I'm glad it's someone like you who believes in the game and what's it all about. My son Reid turns five next week. As part of his birthday gift my husband and I are bringing him to Wrigley. We'll be at the game on May 14 against the Padres and I sure hope you're playing. Reid would just LOVE to see his hero, Reed, playing at Wrigley. Thanks for all you do.
I totally agree with you Reed. I played, college and semi-pro softball in my younger days. Even went to the Jr. Olympics. I understand that players get hurt and the rest of the team has to step up. I think we have the bench to do it, and yes! We need Marmol back a.s.a.p. With a long season, the bench and the bullpen are vital. I think we have enough utility players on the bench and bullpen to support the team when the starters are out. However, in my opinion, the bullpen is a bit week. Maybe it's because they are young?.
Signed, Your Chemo Friend…I'll be there, right behind the dugout on May 1st…if we don't get rained out.
I enjoyed DeRo's blogs and met him in Florida, so I was disappointed to hear he was traded. We miss him, but as Cub fans, we adjust to new faces on the field. Glad you are back, tho, and doing spectacular things to help our Cubbies have another good season. Love your blog and look forward to what you have to say. Give up on the Cubs this early in the season? How can anyone do that and be true, blue Cub fans? Never, never never. Tell Font to keep up the good work, and "keep smiling." Baseball is a team sport and love seeing everyone getting "in the game." Would love to see Big Z hit for the cycle sometime!
I think you guys are going to be fine the team will get healthy and you will win games.
Reed- I sincerely appreciate your positive attitude yet again. Though things are difficult right now, the season has just begun. We are all Cub fans because we have hope and those of you who can only seem to be negative need to put things into perspective. Oh and if you're going to insult someone, you should probably at least use your spell check.
Thanks again Reed, you are doing a great job!
…Mark DeRosa!… I MISS YOU! ….geez, this team could REALLY use him now. I was sick the day he got traded. Now I'm simply depressed. I was in AZ, and Font looks like a complete stranger to third base. I like Mighty Mike, and his bat had some noise this series. …however, this team seems completely different. I'd rather have the chemistry and personalities of leadership such as DeRo and Edmonds (and you of course…love the all-out play). Signing Bradley was a huge mistake. …how about that Adam Dunn? …so depressed.

Why are Freelancers walking away from being independent?
At a glance freelancing has been viewed as a liberating way to earn a living where the freelancer has total control of their time. While this type of working environment is highly praised it comes with many disadvantages. Many freelancers can go several days without having any face-to face interactions with anyone. This kind of complete solitude doesn't work, life without colleagues can be lonely and uninspiring. Even small things, like the lack of small talk, can leave a freelancer lonely. In addition to feeling lonely and not a part of team a freelancer is always worrying about his/her next project in order to keep their financial situation afloat. Reasons such as these are driving freelancers to rejoin the corporate world where they can begin to feel part of a team again and gain financial security.

The Petrified Oak Forest of Mundon
On the Dengie peninsula of Essex sits Mundon, one of many small Essex villages, which would be easy to drive through without note, if it wasn't home to the Petrified Oak Forest of Mundon.
Essex is a diverse county with urban areas of red buses and high-rises, whose boundaries blur with London; coastal seaside towns that offer a modern tourist experience equivalent to the Victorian dream; and small rural villages, where the roads snake around farmland and occasionally become a little too narrow.
Mundon, near Maldon, is the latter Essex experience. The drive in to Mundon takes the winding country roads with fields and trees on either side, and the only signal that you are passing through a village is the speed reduction to 30 MPH.
We parked up and began walking up the road to look for St Peter's Footpath where the Petrified Oak Forest of Mundon can be found. Among the row of houses is the White Horse Pub, sitting opposite a disused Post Office, and thankfully we called in here to ask for directions.
Although walkable from the White Horse pub, it is some distance. We drove around to the disused St Mary's Church where there is room to park the car and walk through.
St Mary's Church Mundon
It is well worth spending some time at the disused St Mary's Church before passing through.
It is believed that a Church could have been on this spot since the Anglo-Saxon times.
Recently restored by Friends of Friendless Churches, when we arrived in May 2016 it stood in silence with no-one around, although the doors were unlocked and friendly notices invite visitors.
The inside of the church has been lovingly restored with some decoration of times gone by still on the walls and enclosed wooden pews with functioning doors.
There is plenty of information about the Church and the surrounding area, and it has a peaceful, reflective atmosphere.
The cemetery has many aged gravestones, some of which can be identified by a survey – details laminated inside the Church.
Haunting Landscape
Once finished in the Church grounds, it's a short walk across a field and then around a pond to see the Petrified Oak Forest.
The path around the water is difficult to spot but walk to the right and you should see the narrow path over.
At first sight the dark and twisted branches of the once magnificent oak trees, which formed part of a forest used to build ships for the Royal fleet, appear haunting.
The field is very quiet although the grazing sheep bring life to a place that would otherwise appear as if time itself had ended.
The oaks are tall, still, and stand against a backdrop of greenery that tricks the mind into believing something more sinister may have caused the demise of these trees.
Stories of Witches being common in these sort of villages and particularly in Essex with its connections to The Witch Hunter General (Matthew Hopkins), there are stories of foul-play.
However many believe that a change in the water table is responsible. A theory that is almost more haunting when you consider these giants reaching for the sky as the water they rely on slowly drains away beneath them, until finally they no longer change with the seasons, but remain frozen in time to witness the sheep and the tourists that carry on below.

DeMarcus Cousins Signs Non-Guaranteed Deal With Bucks
November 30th 2021 at 11:52am CST by Rory Maher
November 30: The Bucks have officially signed Cousins, the team announced.
November 28: Former All-Star DeMarcus Cousins is signing a non-guaranteed deal with the Bucks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Cousins, 31, split time with the Rockets and Clippers last season, averaging a combined 8.9 PPG, 6.4 RPG, and 1.9 APG in just 17.4 MPG across 41 games (11 starts).
"Boogie" is a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA member. He spent his prime seasons with the Kings and Pelicans before suffering a series of devastating leg injuries — first a torn Achilles tendon with the Pelicans, then a torn quad with the Warriors, and finally a torn ACL that sidelined him for the entire 2019/20 season.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN notes (via Twitter) that Cousins stayed in shape while awaiting an opportunity, and the Bucks were one of a handful of teams to have an open roster spot.
The Bucks have dealt with a series of injuries to open their title defense. Center Brook Lopez (lower back) has played just one game for the team, while Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Bobby Portis all missed significant time. Donte DiVincenzo has yet to suit up this season after undergoing left ankle surgery in June.
Cousins could see action immediately with the frontcourt depth thin at the moment. He was productive in limited minutes last season and Milwaukee could use his size and toughness off the bench. The Bucks have won six games in a row and sit with a 12-8 record after 20 games.

Good signing
6 more fouls at the C spot. Portis and Giannis can't handle the bigger centers not that Boogie will be much better but he will save wear and tear on those 2.
OrienGreene • 2 months ago
Boogie can board, he can score and he can pass. What he can't do is switch on D. Even a little bit.
REAL1 • 2 months ago
Besides embiid , who are the "bigger" centers??
DMC is a legend as a player & one of the nicest guys in the league, he deserves all the good things he can get!
Go there & rock it man!
KnickerbockerAl • 2 months ago
It's a good pickup. Big man depth. That can also give you points. Solid
Michol • 2 months ago
How low Boogie has fallen since New Orleans days… he no longer can get anything other than 1 year minimum. :(
MannyPineappleExpress9 • 2 months ago
Well, his wheels are basically blown, so…
phillyballers • 2 months ago
With his stats he would have been a HOF player. Unlikely now tho. He was 21 and 11 until he got injured. He's just the best version of Mo Buckets now. However he is another reason why KD should win the MVP, this is what you look like post Achilles. Wall actually looked better than I expected and we haven't seen Klay yet. But KD is posting MVP worthy numbers and came back from that injury.
stgpd • 2 months ago
Why not. Good addition
Jake1972 • 2 months ago
The Bulls should have signed him and had him play Center and Power Forward off the bench…
It make me wonder why it took so long for Cousins to sign but good addition for the Bucks…
