Activist Attests to a Pro-Homosexual Judiciary in His State, Cites Examples
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/1/232006g.asp
"A homosexual teacher in Massachusetts who admitted to raping one of his teenage students and possessing child pornography has escaped jail time. A Waltham-based pro-family leader says the case is yet another indication that most judges in his state are in league with homosexual activists.
In 1997, Judge Suzanne DelVecchio handed down an eight-year prison sentence to a highly respected gym teacher who had pleaded guilty to raping two school girls. While delivering the sentence, the judge branded John A. Shockro a "sexual predator" and "a parent's worse nightmare" But when Gregory Pathiakis, 26, of the Boston suburb of Brockton recently stood before the same judge and pleaded guilty to raping a 15-year-old male student, Judge DelVecchio gave him no prison time for the assault."- Jim Brown, Agape Press, Jan. 23, 2006

How did Korean households cope with negative shocks from the financial crisis?
Chor Ching Goh, Sung Jin Kang, Yasuyuki Sawada
This paper employs a panel of household data from Korea to examine how households coped with the shortfall in consumption during 1994-1998, which encompasses the financial crisis of 1997. We adopt the econometric framework from Glewwe and Hall [Glewwe, P., & Hall, G. (1998). Are some groups more vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks than others? Hypothesis tests based on panel data from Peru.f Journal of Development Economics, 56, 181-206] and estimate a household consumption growth equation. We find that larger households tend to be protected to a greater extent from shortfall in consumption, and that the vulnerability of female-headed households is not greater than that of male-headed households. Among the coping strategies, private transfers act both as an ex-ante risk-managing device and an ex-post coping mechanism. Urban households and those headed by the self-employed experienced a larger shortfall in consumption during the crisis. While credit was used to smooth consumption of children's education, medical and childcare services during the pre-crisis years, it was not utilized as a coping strategy during the 1997 crisis, possibly due to the credit crunch caused by stringent monetary policies. Instead, households cut back consumption of luxurious and durable goods to preserve food consumption and spending on children's education. We do not find evidence of households liquidating their assets to cushion the shortfall in consumption, during the 1997 crisis. It is possible that they did not liquidate their assets because land and stock prices declined significantly.

I completed a paint project. YEA!
I was excited about doing this project…..it's a Herringbone paint finish. I see the Herringbone design everywhere and I also see long complicated how-to's to get the pattern just right.
I do things the easy way……ok, some may say the lazy way….and those tutorials look difficult to me.
The way I achieved the look was super easy.
I started with this table from My Favorite Junk Shop.
Ok, it's not quite a table yet.
The JTS was nice enough to cut a top for me (thanks honey).
Now here comes the easy part……Shape Tape in a Herringbone pattern from Frog Tape.
Frog Tape was a sponsor at Haven and all the attendees received Frog Tape Shape Tape in our Haven bags.
It's as easy as peeling the backing from the Shape Tape and sticking it on!
I first painted the table top white then when the paint was dry I put on the Shape Tape and used Rust-Oleum Satin Lagoon spray paint for the Herringbone stripes.
I let the spray paint dry for a short time and then peeled off the tape.
The Herringbone tape can be used to make other designs.
There is a diamond design example on the Frog Tape package.
All you have to do is position the tape in a different manner.
The pumpkins add a little color.
I'm ready for the change of seasons and I've been working on some fall projects.
What about ya'll, ready for Fall?
If you don't have a blog….that's ok…you only have to leave your name (first name is ok) and your email address, then your comment. Your email address will not be shown on my blog. It is to prevent spammers from leaving comments.
I received the Frog Tape in a gift bag at Haven and have not received any compensation for this post.
Hi Kathy! Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to let you know that on Fridays, we are going to start sharing out some of linkers posts and I am sharing this one today. Love it. I used the waves frog tape for a dresser. Love what you can do with it. Have a fabulous weekend.
This turned out fantastic!! I want one I want one!!
Love this simple idea. I had never heard of shape tape before! It turned out lovely.
Kathy, this is so great, I love it!!! The pumpkins are a perfect finishing touch!!
Kathy, this is just so cute; love the pumpkins. I did not know about this shaped tape either. MUst look for it.
Love that Frog Tape–I need some! I have never seen it here in Columbus, Ohio, but then maybe I haven't been to the right place. You make everything look so easy..I love that table, it looks like an old magazine rack side table. Did you paint the metal first?..or leave it original?
I left the metal original and rusty!

Legal education is ripe for disruption because the legal profession and the law itself are ripe for disruption. In the last recession, demand for legal education dropped 40 percent, and only in the last year are we seeing increases in law school admissions. The recession illuminated an even bigger crisis for law and legal education—an increasing mismatch between the limited services that the law and lawyers provide and the vast and acute societal needs for legal services. A recent American Bar Association study estimated that 80 percent of the poor and those of moderate income lack meaningful access to our justice system and legal services.
Ample scholarship exists on how to restructure legal education to address this mismatch. However, this essay undertakes a new focus—the tough and potentially perilous road of attempting necessary change in a real-world law school setting. We impart our experiences as unwitting "disruptive leaders" prodding a small, private law school to meet the changing legal environment, and experiencing extreme blowback as result. We discuss characteristics of academia generally that contributed to this resistance—tenure, academic freedom, and the imperatives of university administration to raise funds and maintain tradition rather than respond innovatively to shifting economic and social dynamics. We also highlight characteristics of legal education that make disruptive leadership particularly unlikely to succeed: the ABA monopoly in legal regulation and the gendered nature of law and legal education.
This essay provides a narrative that will resonate with many in legal academia, as well as academia in general. The peer reviews we received also confirmed that this essay will jumpstart an important and necessary conversation on these issues.


Acrylamide is fast becoming a big concern for the food industry, due to the growing body of evidence of its role as a potential carcinogen. Acryleast™ is a new fully non-GMO solution for acrylamide reduction brought to market from today by Kerry, in partnership with Renaissance BioScience.

I've had a few requests to post my recipe for Black Bean Enchiladas since I put it on Instagram a few weeks ago.
This recipe is super simple (and delicious) because unlike fajitas, you mix all the ingredients together in one bowl, wrap in tortillas and bake everything all at once; perfect for busy weeknights.
I adapted this recipe from The Kitchn (amazing food blog), and they feature it as a slow cooker recipe, but you can also bake them in the oven, which is what I did.
This recipe is considered a healthy choice, and perfect if you're trying to cut back on your meat intake (trust me, you won't miss it).
Black beans are a great vegetarian source of protein, and their high fibre content makes them easier to digest than meat protein such as beef, pork or chicken. Proper digestion & elimination is the key to good health. Improper digestion leads to toxic build-up, which can cause bloating, gas and acne.
Another reason this recipe is a healthy choice; it uses salsa instead of enchilada sauce. Salsa is one of my favourite condiments because it's tomato-based, (tomatoes are high in the antioxidant lycopene), flavorful, and low in calories. The organic salsa from Costco is my favourite.
This recipe is loaded with other healthy veggies as well: red pepper (high in vitamin C), organic corn kernels (high in fibre & antioxidants) and avocado (rich source of B vitamins & healthy fats – good for your skin!) – enjoy!
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine beans, onion, peppers, corn, cilantro, and spices – stir to combine.
Step 2: In a large casserole dish, pour and spread 1 cup of salsa on the bottom.
Step 3: Fill each tortilla with about ½ cup of the mixture or more (depending on how full you want them). Roll and arrange the tortillas in the bottom of the dish, on top of the salsa (should fit 3-4).
Step 4: Pour another cup of salsa on top of the arranged tortillas, and sprinkle with ½ cup of shredded cheese.
Repeat Step 3 with remaining tortillas & mixture and arrange them on top of the bottom layer.
Pour another cup of salsa on top of your second layer of tortillas, but wait to sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top until last 10 minutes of cooking.
Cover dish with glass lid or aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve on a bed of organic baby spinach (or any greens you like) and top with remaining salsa & diced avocado.
This recipe makes for great leftovers, and will keep for 1 week in the fridge.
SUCH a delicious recipe!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
We have had this recipe a couple of times now my husband and my 3 kids aged9 through 21 months love it!!!


Samuel Patta Ministries was founded in 2007 by Rev. Dr. Samuel & Ps. Merlyn Patta in Hyderabad, India. Both Dr. Samuel and Pastor Merlyn are also the founders and senior pastors of The King's Temple Church that was founded in 1986.
SPM was birthed out of the vision of loving people and changing lives around the world.
We equip believers with the un-compromised Word of God and teach them that any challenge or obstacle in life can be overcome if you have Faith in God & His Word.
A major part of this mission is hosting "THE CHANGE FESTIVALS" or "THE CHANGE EXPERIENCE" events all over the world.
THE CHANGE events are usually three day meetings where we travel with our team to different towns, cities and countries and preach and teach the Word. Dr. Patta teaches on one subject over the three-day period to clearly teach the people on the aspect of FAITH, ABUNDANCE etc. And Ps. Merlyn encourages people to believe God for their increase and challenges them to sow for their needs to be met! We've had countless testimonies of financial breakthroughs, terminal diseases healed and many more!!!
We've hosted over 25 CHANGE events in 15 cities and three countries.
Apart from CHANGE events, SPM hosts major international conferences throughout the year in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and other major cities in India and Sri Lanka. Dr. Patta & Ps. Merlyn invite renowned Generals of the Faith to come and teach and impart to believers in our nation. We've been honoured and privileged to host ministers like Dr. Bill Winston, Dr. Creflo Dollar & Ps. Taffi Dollar, Bishop David Oyedepo, Dr. Rodney Howard Browne, Jeremy & Sarah Pearsons, Ps. Ashish Thomas, Ps. Gregory Dickow, David Herzog, Ps. David Hall, Ps. Juan Diego Luna, Ps. Joshua McCauley and many other renowned international ministers.
Apart from all these events and conferences, Dr. Patta and Ps. Merlyn have invitations from around the world to speak and minister in conferences and crusades. SPM is represented at all these events.
We have travelled to over 50 cities and towns around the world teaching and preaching the word.
Samuel Patta Ministries has a strong media presence on television and social media.
SPM has two broadcasts called, "All Things Are Possible, & "Look What The Lord Has Done". ATAP is a daily broadcast that is aired on 5 television networks including the GOD Channel & Revival TV. ATAP is a daily teaching broadcast by Dr. Patta. LWLHD is a weekly twice broadcast that is aired on two major christian networks in India. On this broadcast, Ps. Merlyn interviews people who were healed in our services or crusades and encourages viewers to believe God for the same in their lives.
We are also active online on FaceBook & Twitter. With over 22K+ followers on FB we regularly update our social media pages. Follow us today!
SPM publishes a bi-monthly magazine called the WINNER. In this, we have articles by our founders and also guest articles by international authors and speakers. This magazine is free to all our partners and also available for purchase. Many use the WINNER magazine as tool for evangelism as it is always loaded with challenging and faith-building articles.
Limitless Love Foundation is the outreach ministry of SPM. LLF was birthed out of a passion and vision to empower the underprivileged.
God has used LLF to affect the lives of thousands in more than six different countries. Over the past three years we have been a blessing to over 40,000 orphans, widows and the underprivileged, blessing them with new clothes, shoes, groceries, hot meals, book etc. It's an honour to live out the biblical mandate that states that we are blessed to be a blessing to others!


President Obama set the number of Syrian refugees to be resettled here this fiscal year at 10,000, with next year's target probably being 25,000. It's not that he and Democrats in Congress didn't want to take hundreds of thousands more, but they calculated that 10,000 is all they could get away with politically in the face of opposition from the bitter clingers.
There may be ways that we could encourage Syrians to come to the U.S. without going through this laborious, time-consuming process of refugee resettlement.
The first thing the White House has done is simply cut corners, reducing the screening time for refugees from 18-24 months down to three months in a "surge" operation in Jordan. But this is designed simply to reach the 10,000 target by September 30 (the end of the fiscal year), which could not have been reached had the administration maintained the "laborious, time-consuming process" it boasted of previously.
UN meetings in London and Geneva so far this year, where these topics were addressed, were preparing for the Global Refugee Summit to be hosted by President Obama in New York this September. If the administration agrees at that meeting to increase admissions of Syrians outside the existing refugee program, will Congress have any say in the matter? Will the administration report on how many additional Syrians come via those avenues? And if refugees are "subject to the highest level of security checks of any category of traveler," does that mean Syrians coming through these alternative means will be less-thoroughly screened? And who should we blame when one of them blows something up?

Q: Proving $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}\ln^3(n)}$ is convergent I need to prove that the following series is convergent:
$$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}\ln^3(n)}$$
I tried the ratio test and the root test and both were inconclusive. Then I tried to calculate the integral $\int_2^\infty \frac{dx}{x\sqrt{x}\ln^3(x)}$ but I don't know how to integrate that function. How can I prove that this series converges?

A: You can use the comparaison test, together with the fact that$$(\forall n\in\Bbb N\setminus\{1,2\}):\frac1{n\sqrt n\log^3(n)}\leqslant\frac1{n\sqrt n}=\frac1{n^{3/2}}.$$

A: For all $n \geq 3 > e$, $0 \leq \frac{1}{n\sqrt{n}\ln^3(n)} \leq \frac{1}{n^{\frac{3}{2}}} $. By the comparison test, the series converges.

A: You can just note that
$$
\frac{1}{n \sqrt{n} \ln^3 n}\leq \frac{1}{n \sqrt{n}} = \frac{1}{n^{3/2}}, \quad n \ge 3.
$$
Since $\sum\frac{1}{n^{3/2}}$ converges, so does your series.

Windfarm campaign groups could veto new developments after the Government pledged a change in planning law.
Giving her first interview since becoming new Conservative energy secretary, Amber Rudd said she wants to put the "local community back in charge" and ban subsidies being paid out to new onshore turbine operators.
Yet anti-windfarm campaigners in Northumberland, which is subject to several plans, are "cautiously optimistic" over her pledge made in the Sunday Times, and want new consultation promises to be truely meaningful as residents views have so far been "completely ignored".
Nine turbines each over 400 feet tall are currently planned at a site at Ditchburn near Eglingham.
Miss Rudd, who takes over from ousted Lib Dem Ed Davey, said legislation will be included in the Queen's speech later this month.
Current planning rules will also be overhauled and Miss Rudd she'd pressured her team to make it a priority.
The detail of how the new-look local community consultation model is yet to be clarified, as residents are already able to write in and have their letters of objections or support noted and the parish council are also able to have a say - although their views do not bind the local authority.
The new rules are expected to include a greater weighting towards the views of the community when it comes to a local authority planning committee making its final decision.
Cornhill farmer Andrew Joicey, who has previously challenged wind-farm applications in Northumberland and is a member of the Save Our Unspoilt Landscape group, said: "We've heard promises like this before so we are cautiously optimistic.
"There have been cases in Northumberland where there have been 1,000 objections to a wind farm planning application and still it's been recommended for approval by offiers.
Mr Joicey said until the current system where communities are offered large sums of money by wind farm companies for developing community assets, it will be difficult to encourage people not informed on the "economics of windfarms" to oppose them.
Don Brownlow, who runs the website Windbyte, which tracks new developments in Northumberland, said the Government's pledge to ban subsidies which are paid to windfarm operators producing certain levels of electricity could conflict with reforms already due to be made in 2017 to the Renewables Obligation.
Electricity companies must source a proportion of their energy supply from renewable resources under the obligation agreement which runs out in 2017. The new structure will introduce supply based contracts, which are perceived to involve less generous subsidies.
However, those already with permission to build a windfarm in place, can expect to continue receiving money under the old system for up to 25 years.
On greater consultation with local communities, he added: "The devil will be in the detail in this. You can't make a judgement until you know what the Government calls 'local'. What the Government regard as local level will be county level, so I doubt a parish council objection would have the slightest effect.


The SDC Jean-Talon is the initiative of merchants and business places, supported by the Corporation of economical and community revival of Saint-Léonard (which became the Corporation of economical and community development of Saint-Léonard before disappearing), the Chamber of commerce of Saint-Léonard and the district of Saint-Léonard.
Following the results of a survey conducted by Convercité in 2002, a promoter committee was created to lay the foundations for a structured organization. During this first year, the efforts were concentrated on setting up activities such as a street sale, a shop window contest and a Santa Claus parade.
Few years later, the promoters took steps to create a corporation for business development (société de développement commerciale or SDC). In January 2008, all the occupants of the SDC sector were called to vote in a referendum. Thanks to a broad mobilization and a great success in the referendum, the SDC Jean-Talon settled in the heart of its commercial artery, at the corner of Valdombre Street, in April 2008.
In the spring of 2018, the Quebec government finally agreed to extend the blue metro line, two of which were directly on the territory of the SDC (Viau and Lacordaire) and another nearby (Langelier). Jean-Talon Street is therefore called for an ambitious development that would allow it to finally become the long-awaited city center of the citizens of Saint-Léonard.

Mass protest staged in Hong Kong over extradition Bill
Hong Kong: A mass protest was staged in Hong Kong on Sunday calling for the complete withdrawal of the government's extradition Bill and the resignation of Chief Executive Carrie Lam, a day after she announced the suspension of the controversial legislation. The protesters, the vast majority of whom were dressed in black as a symbol of what they consider to be a loss of democracy in Hong Kong, also urged that Lam, who has only suspended the Bill temporarily, must condemn the excessive use of police force during the June 12 protests, reports Efe news.
Sunday's protest, which left Victoria Park and was heading towards the Legislative Council headquarters, also held a minute's silence for the death of a young man who fell from a scaffolding on Saturday night while trying to put up a poster, and many were seen to wear bows and flowers as a sign of mourning. Youths along with families and children participated in the protest carrying banners with the slogans "Stop the violence, we are not rioters" and "No to police brutality" amid demands for all charges to be dropped against those arrested during protests.
Lam on Saturday backed down and announced the suspension until further notice of the controversial legislative proposal that would allow those accused of certain crimes to be extradited to China. Lam's change of stance, which had strongly been in defence of the Bill, came after meeting her government and after some political leaders urged her to postpone it or suspend it. Hours before the march began on Sunday, the Civil Human Rights Front expressed its support for the general strike called in Hong Kong by trade unions on June 17 and urged Hong Kong citizens to join it. Opponents of the Bill, which include a broad spectrum of Hong Kong society, fear that the new law could mean that local activists, critical journalists and dissident residents of Hong Kong could also be sent to mainland China for trial.

The political situation in 26AD - Lucius Aelius Sejanus.
Received by H.
Cuenca, Ecuador.
My dear brother:
During Tiberius' rule, something unique happened: Two people occupied jointly, during one year, the position of the praetorian prefect. The praetorians, as I have already mentioned, were the emperor's bodyguards, and in later times frequently murdered the emperor himself and enthroned another, and as in the case of Nero, which we will see later, they exercised so much influence over the regent that they manipulated him like a puppet on a string.
The two praetorian prefects were Lucius Sejus Strabo and his adopted son Lucius Aelius Sejanus. Sejanus was born in Volsinii in Etruria. In the year 15 Tiberius rewarded Strabo with the position of prefect of Egypt, one of the most important and richest provinces in the empire. That meant, as everybody knew, that Strabo could accumulate vast riches.
When the legions in Panonia mutinied against Tiberius, the emperor sent Sejanus together with Drusus, the son of Agrippina and Germanicus, the declared heir to the throne, to repress the rebellion. Drusus considered that to indicate a lack of confidence in his person, and developed a strong aversion against the chief of the praetorians. When his father, Germanicus, died, the tension between both characters grew even worse.
But Sejanus proved his administrative ability and his loyalty to the emperor on many occasions. First, he ordered the building of barracks for the praetorians, who until then had lived dispersed throughout the city, in order to be able to mobilize them more quickly. Then, during a fire in a theater of Pompeii that threatened to destroy the whole town, Sejanus took charge of the rescue works, and the town really was saved. In gratefulness, Tiberius erected a statue in Sejanus' honor in front of the rebuilt theater. On one occasion, on the island of Capri, Sejanus protected the emperor with his own body, when a cave that they were visiting collapsed. In short, Tiberius' trust in his prefect was unconditional.
His stepfather Strabo's death conferred some wealth on Sejanus. However, as we will see, that money did not last very long and he had to look for other sources of income.
One day, Sejanus took a dangerous risk. He started a relationship with the wife of Drusus, the heir who hated him from the bottom of his heart. Lavilla, the unfaithful wife, together with Sejanus forged a plot to murder her husband. Drusus was poisoned, and he died after a short "disease." Many people suspected Sejanus, but nobody dared to denounce him. With Drusus, the last of the inner circle of heirs to the throne had died. And this led Sejanus to think that he could inherit the power.
The problem he faced in his aspiration was that he did not belong to the high nobility, and so he would not find any support among the noblemen. He was only an "eques," a knight, from lower nobility.
Drusus' death put Tiberius in an uncomfortable situation. We have already seen how he hated to be the emperor, but his oldest male family members were the children of Drusus, all of them too young. Tiberius was under obligation to continue as the emperor without being able to abdicate in favor of one of his possible successors. However, he wanted to retire from Rome, to abandon everything and to live his free life on the island of Capri that he loved so much. He needed a strong man, a capable administrator: And he had such a man, in the person of Sejanus! Finally, in the year 26, Tiberius retired, leaving Sejanus with almost dictatorial powers in Rome.
From that moment on, Sejanus used all his power and influence to take control little by little. Even the correspondence for Tiberius passed through his hands, and the emperor on the distant island in the future would only read what Sejanus deemed appropriate.
Sejanus immediately began to conspire against the imperial family, accusing Agrippina, Drusus' mother, of betrayal, and on the other hand advising her to flee from the city with her son Nero, because her life was in danger. But Agrippina did not leave the city, and Tiberius did not pay attention to Sejanus' accusation.
Sejanus knew that he had to improve his social position, that is to say, to ascend in the scale of nobility's hierarchy, and he asked Tiberius for his permission to marry Lavilla, Drusus' widow. However, the emperor refused. He already had begun to suspect something, but he was not sure. At any rate, he did not want to open to Sejanus the doors to high nobility.
Then Sejanus began to change the commanding generals of the army, replacing them with men of his trust, and spent enormous amounts of money in bribes to win favors. So his considerable inheritance dripped away. He needed money, and urgently!
It was then that Sejanus remembered that the Temple of Jerusalem was where more money accumulated and circulated than in any other place in the empire. And just a little time before retiring to Capri, Tiberius had called back the prefect of Judea, Valerius Gratus, to Rome. Sejanus took advantage of that opportunity to name his personal friend Publius Pontius Pilatus as his successor to the vacant position. Pilate's work would include guaranteeing a continuous flow of money into the vaults of Sejanus.
The period of service for a prefect or provincial governor was usually three years, as in the cases of Coponius, Marcus Ambivulus and Annius Rufus, the first three prefects from Judea, from the year 6, after Archelaus' destitution, to the year 15. Valerius Gratus, however, served eleven years, up to the year 26, because Tiberius tried to maintain more continuity in provincial administration. Pilate would serve until the year 36 in Palestine. But of him, we will speak in a separate message.
From the year 26 until the year 30, Tiberius eulogized Sejanus in all possible ways. Motivated by a mixture of uncertainty and fear, he even named him consul of the Senate, he coined money bearing his name, he ordered the celebration of public sacrifices in his honor, etc. However, in the year 30, Tiberius' sister-in-law, Antonia, who had always stayed away from intrigues and politics, sent an accusation to the emperor, accusing Sejanus of conspiracy and treason. She detailed the methods that this man used, and convinced Tiberius.
Tiberius was fearful. All of Rome was under Sejanus' control. He could not trust the troops, whose commanders were installed by Sejanus. What could he do?
First, in his letters of commendation for Sejanus, which were read publicly in the Senate, some slight critiques began to appear. Then he prohibited public sacrifices for people still alive, that is to say, for Sejanus. And finally, when the praetorian prefect wanted to arrest and execute an opposing leader of the Senate, Tiberius impeded it.
Finally, in the month of October, Tiberius carried out his mortal blow against the traitor. Secretly, on the island of Capri, he named Quintus Sutorius Macro prefect of the praetorians. Macro traveled to Rome with a letter from Tiberius, which would be read publicly in the Senate. Macro told Sejanus that this letter contained the order of conferring imperial powers onto Sejanus, naming him practically Tiberius' heir. Sejanus was pleased.
But when they arrived at the Senate, Macro first had another letter read, his appointment as the new praetorian prefect. Sejanus was confused. Macro sent the praetorians to their barracks, and surrounded the Senate with his own loyal soldiers. Then, when the second letter was read, a letter which was intentionally endlessly long and boring, Macro moved to the barracks of the praetorians and made sure of their loyalty.
At the end of the letter, Tiberius had written an open accusation of betrayal against Sejanus, who was taken prisoner immediately. When the senators saw people cheering and the praetorians' loyalty to the emperor, they condemned Sejanus at once and had him executed on the same night, strangling him.
Well, my brother, this was the story of Sejanus. As you see, during the Master's entire public ministry, Sejanus was at the peak of his career and power. He was the "strong man" of Rome, not Tiberius, and Pilate's loyalty was to him and not to the emperor. All that would have serious consequences for the Master's destiny. But this we will see later. Next time, I would like to deliver a similar message on Pilate.
H.: May I ask a question? You said that Pilate's name was Publius Pontius Pilatus. In fact, all history books say that we do not know his first name. Is it true that his name was Publius? On a web page, I read "Lucius Pontius Pilatus."
His first name was Publius, yes, this is true. I remember very well how people made fun of him, not openly, of course, as the "quadruple P," Publius Pontius Pilatus Praefectus. On that web page, they possibly inserted Lucius in allusion to Sejanus, who had this name.
By the way, there is one more thing I wish to tell you: Do you remember yesterday's mail, on poverty?
H.: Yes, I remember.
(Yesterday somebody sent me the following story:
One day a father took to his little son to take a trip to the countryside, with the purpose of showing him how poorly people live there.
That day they spent visiting some rural friends, who formed a very poor family.
When they returned from the trip, the father asked his son, "How did you like the trip?"
"I liked it very much, dad."
"Did you see how poor people are?" the father asked him.
"What are you talking about, dad?" his son replied. "I saw that they have four dogs, on the other hand, we have just one.
We have a pool that scarcely stretches halfway into the garden, they have a river that never ends.
We have lamps in the garden, they have stars.
Our patio ends with the neighbor's wall, theirs ends with the horizon.
They have time to sit down and converse, but, you and mom have to work the whole day and I never see you."
When the small boy finished, his father looked in silence.
His son added, "Thank you, dad, for showing me so much wealth and letting me know how poor we are."
Everything depends on how your see things.
If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life — you have everything!
You cannot buy any of these things.
You may have all possessions that money can buy, but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing.
Author unknown)
Well, my friend, at the beginning you liked the story. But then you thought of the poor people on the Ecuadorian coast, how they live right now in the water up to their waist and have lost everything because of the floods. In fact, it is not so romantic to be poor. Because if they had money, they could abandon these shanties where they live, and move to their flats in the city, to wait until the catastrophe passes, and then fix the damage. But they cannot. They don't have any place else to go.
It is true that poverty is not romantic when one has to live it. However, this small story also teaches you other things: always try to see the positive side of things. And when you really cannot find it, never forget that there is Somebody who is always willing to help. And in order for Him to do so, you have to trust Him and to ask Him. He never lets you down. And as a last teaching, stop trying to control your life. Give Him the control. He knows better to manage things than we all do. Situations often are difficult. However, despair makes them desperate. If you have faith, then you have hope, and if you have hope, then you will overcome anything.
Well, it is enough for today. We will see you soon.

'Not acceptable': Dragons hold crisis talks
22nd Jul 2019 7:15 AM
The St George Illawarra Dragons players have held crisis talks amid the team's woeful season, with Cameron McInnes ripping into his teammates after their loss on Friday night.
Coach Paul McGregor has come under increasing fire after the Red V's mid-season slump which reached crisis point when they were thumped by the Panthers.
And Fox Sports' reporter James Hooper has revealed that McGregor let McInnes deliver an almighty spray to shock the players into a change.
"He left it to his players," Hooper told Fox League's Big League Wrap. "Cameron McInnes came to the fore. He looked all the players in the eye he said boys this is not acceptable
"He's torn strips off them. It was a heavy bake."
"Mary being the style of character he is, he was given a two-year extension back in May.
"He's the coach for the rest of this year, next year and until 2021.
He said to the players we can work together and try and fight our way out or I'm going to get moved on and you blokes will also get moved on, so let's come together and let's try and fight our way out of here, that's the only way to handle this situation.
"But Mary, at the moment, he needs a bulletproof vest, they're very cut throat with their criticism.
"There's a board meeting and these fade-outs over the course of not just this season, it's last year, the year before. That's going to be high on the agenda.
"I think Paul McGregor is safe, I know it can be interpreted as a death knell - the full support of the board - but at this point in time, they have got Mary's back."
Cameron McInnes dropped some home truths.
Meanwhile, Michael Ennis has questioned McGregor's decision to rest Ben Hunt. The halfback sat out the must-win clash with Penith, leaving McGregor open to more criticism.
"I put myself in the Dragons' dressing room on Friday night and I think to myself as a teammate, I'm really happy for you, you played Origin and you deserved it and it's great our club has got rep players," said Ennis.
"But I want to win a competition, and so do the other blokes.
"Now when we need to win seven of eight games, and you're our halfback, our general, you're not the utility who comes off the bench.
"You're the bloke who controls and who orchestrates this whole club … he had to play.
"And for me personally, if the coach says: 'you weren't great, I reckon we need to give you a spell'. 'Coach, no way, we've got to win the next seven games. I've got to play, I want to play Friday night. Just look after me. I don't need to train until Thursday. I'll turn up for the captain's run and the week after … I've got to freshen myself up that way. But I've got to play'.
"Because other blokes in that dressing room are there and they've just brought in the teamsheet and James Maloney's playing."

Stacey Abrams says she's still considering presidential bid
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams says she's still considering running for president in 2020.
Abrams answered "yes" when asked in an interview with Pod Save America airing Thursday afternoon if she was still contemplating joining the crowded Democratic presidential field.
Abrams has also been floated as a possible vice-presidential pick, though she recently downplayed the idea, telling ABC that "you don't run for second place."
Last month, Abrams ruled out a 2020 run for Senate. She had been courted by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has said he believes Abrams would have the best shot to defeat Republican Sen. David Perdue, one of President Donald Trump's most loyal Capitol Hill allies.
In 2018, Abrams came within 60,000 votes of becoming the first black female governor in U.S. history.

The Mind Flippin' Time Slip
I asked Mike Getz, "What's your advice for 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' virgins?" Mike responded, "Prepare for anything. You're going to be surprised. There's nothing like it."
Mike Getz goes back with "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (RHPS) to 1977. Mike's considerable experience juicing the "midnight movie" market started in Los Angeles at an art house cinema in the early 1960s. His devotion to this niche spread to San Francisco and on to helping shepherd a nationwide midnight movie circuit.
In the early days of the RHPS phenomenon, more than half the audience were virgins (first time seeing the film). When RHPS comes to the Nevada Theatre October 24 and 25 for the film's 40th anniversary, who knows what the percentage will be. Mike's advice to non-virgins of the RHPS experience, "Just come and enjoy it. You don't get tired of it. There's still lots of great sex after the first time."
Although Mike had overseen long successful runs of RHPS across the country, he was still an RHPS virgin when he spoke with the Nevada City liberal arts commission about showing films at the Nevada Theatre. RHPS played four Saturday evenings in January 1979. In March, the Getz's weekend series – shifted to Sunday evenings – took hold with an Ingmar Bergman film festival. This cultural marker for independent film-mindedness is still going strong in its 36th year.
Mike says that finally seeing RHPS was exciting and fun. Yes, he joined in the audience participation: "I've yelled at the screen. It's contagious. You become more uninhibited." He thinks he remembers his wife Barbara attending a showing in costume. Not incidentally, Mike praises that he could never have made the Nevada Theatre film series or their Grass Valley movie venues as successful as they have been without Barbara's capable and complementary partnership.
RHPS has long been the flagship "midnight movie" type movie. When Mike says that the phrase "eight weeks at a time" should be part of his epitaph, he's referring to the orchestration of eight week sets of programming he's perpetually put together. When RHPS came along, it ran in some theaters for months, years. Mike calls to mind cult films such as "Pink Flamingos" and "Eraserhead," but nods that nothing comes close to a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" screening.
More than fifty years and counting, Mike Getz has been selling tickets to picture shows. "I enjoy showing movies," he says. "I enjoy that people are coming to see movies that I've picked for them to see." The first film tickets he sold in Nevada County ($2 in 1979) were for "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." When this 1975 film returns yet again to the Nevada Theatre, event trippers no doubt will be there bopping: "It's just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right. With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust. They really drive you insa-yay-yay-yay-yane. Let's do the Time Warp again."


This phrase from the Wesley hymn, "Come, thou long-expected Jesus," was the subject of my Advent study on this eve of Christmas Eve. The text with its list of names for Jesus fascinates me, and I've thought about many of the phrases Wesley uses in his text. I found little directly referring to the phrase that is the title of this post, but what I read led me to think about what the birth of Jesus means to me and in what sense Jesus is a "king."
Whether one subscribes to all the miraculous accounts in the gospels about the birth of Jesus, these beautiful stories of angels, shepherds, wise men, mangers, stars, a young mother and an often-ignored husband, seems irrelevant to me this morning. I can only speak to the profound impact that the birth of Jesus so long ago has had on my life. This wonderful child whose life began in such humble, gentle circumstances grew to become a poor itinerant preacher/teacher/healer, the leader of a disparate band of disciples. How can such a person be regarded as a king?
And yet, he is the king of my heart. If I am coming away from my Advent studies this season with any new insight, it is that Jesus still calls on us to serve him by serving others. This, for me, is the great message that Jesus has handed down across the centuries and still speaks to us about in our hearts: that to serve others is to serve him. The question then becomes, "how do I serve?"
Is it enough to live my life trying to be compassionate to all those I encounter? Is it enough to search in my budget for more money to give to causes that help others? Is it enough to pray for others? In our western culture, we continue to consume too much of the world's resources. In our country, we elect leaders who blame the poor for their own misfortunes, who continue policies that further enrich the already wealthy at the expense of those who have the least. How do I change the direction in which we're headed?
Across the centuries and in my heart, Jesus is calling me to ponder these questions, to seek God's leading in finding answers. The power of the child-king Jesus is far greater than the power of every government in the world, stronger than every army. Look at what this poverty-stricken Jewish man has accomplished. He is calling me this Advent to serve and love, and my prayer as I look forward to the wonderful celebration of his birth is that I will follow God's leading to answer the call of Jesus.


Yeah? Why your softness? It seems to me all of you deserve what you receive of the "giant" software.I invite you join The Movement:Gates,Abandon The All ey!!! Learn more about the meaning of this phrase, about the"warhol"company,about The Inertia Phase.. If you�re interested you can reach me if you type google searcher:John Bored Feedback.Thanks.
Alas! I think I have commited a mistake.My post is belonging to the forum software/group.Thanks anywa y.John Bored Feedback.


Claire has been the Deputy Editor on Homebuilding & Renovating for several years. Her background in building (she's currently tackling a major renovation project in Shropshire with her partner — a builder) and experience in the industry mean she's able to continue Homebuilding & Renovating's unique editorial ethos of 'talking the talk, walking the walk'. Her practical involvement in building means she is able to bring depth and insight to our content and empathy with our readership.
After 12 years as Editor, Jason Orme has taken on a new role as Editorial Director of Centaur Media's Home Interest portfolio, which oversees Homebuilding & Renovating but also includes Real Homes (extensions and home transformation) and Period Living (period homes).
Additionally, Michael Holmes – himself a former editor – becomes Head of Content & Product Development and continues to build on his role for Centaur Media as Chair of the National Custom and Self Build Association (NaCSBA), in which he lobbies Government for reform and easier conditions for self builders and the emerging custom build sector.
