Owned by an Artist and his family, The Inn at Charlotte was their first experience with a "bed and breakfast." They found the many rooms and spaces needing updating and decorating to be an overwhelming task. In an effort to do the decorating themselves, the owners painted one of the guest rooms a very bright yellow. Part of what we do at KGD is offer our clients objective input and guidance so they end up with a space that meets their objectives. Since bright yellow would be a little intense for most guests at a bed and breakfast, we took this opportunity to guide the owners to more subtle tones in the other spaces, which made for a more inviting and restful atmosphere. Because the budget on this project was limited, we had to be very resourceful to accomplish everything the client wanted. These photos show how adding a few elements of color and texture brought life and warmth to the common area of The Inn at Charlotte where guests gather for meals and conversation.

N.Z. House & Cottage 15. Glens Of Tekoa Sod Hut, Culverden
I wrote and illustrated 'New Zealand House and Cottage'. It was published in 1997. It's a snapshot of some historic New Zealand homes - both grand and modest - as they were preserved at the end of the 20th century.
I have decided to share some of the entries from the book from time to time on this blog.
GLENS OF TEKOA SOD HUT, CULVERDEN
You can still see the hole in the ground whose contents were turned into the seven-roomed sod hut at Glens of Tekoa. It was all done in the summer of 1859: beneath a bullock's hooves, clay soil and tussock were trodden and scrunched into a homogeneous mud pie from which the cob walls were hand moulded. The rafters were of beech from a nearby hillside and the roof was shingled, to be replaced by iron in 1895.
It's the oldest surviving building in Amuri County and is astonishingly good to look at; as picturesque as The Cuddy at Waimate but without the prettiness. No tended gardens surround it, just a carpet of wanton periwinkle and a backdrop of sheltering trees. It demands to be sketched and painted.
The hut was home to its builders, George and Roderick McRae,whose father William bought the 22,500 acres and leased a further 85,000 acres (43,500ha in all) which, by 1864, comprised Glens of Tekoa. William, a Scot, had arrived from Ireland in 1849 to make his permanent home at 'Bonovoree', near Richmond, while his sons became managers of the North Canterbury estate.
The layout of the hut is slightly more complex than was usual in pioneer days, with each of the main rooms having a separate front door and fireplace; probably to allow for the possibility that if one or both of the brothers married some privacy might have been necessary.
The brothers lived there until their new, brick house was built in 1865 just a few metres away. Since then, the sod cottage has continued in use, as overflow accommodation for visitors, as a schoolroom, and latterly as a museum, housing sundry maps, plans, photographs, letters, accounts and artefacts gathered over the years and relating to the McRae family and Glens of Tekoa.
George married Mary Moore in 1868 and brought her home from Nelson. William having died in 1867, Roderick returned to the family farm at Nelson in 1872 and later the brothers drew up a deed which gave sole ownership of the Nelson property to Roderick, and Glens of Tekoa to George whose descendants have farmed the station ever since.
When I sat having coffee with Beau and Georgie McRae on the terrace of the 'new' house from which the sod cottage is plainly visible it occurred to me that not too many people can be so close to their ancestors. With the fortitudinous spirits of William, George and Roderick in the air, one would think twice before making a big decision affecting the Glens of Tekoa.

There are few things more important in life than our children's wellbeing and their future. As parents we work, consult experts, deliberate and pray that our children are given the best chance to thrive and succeed in a world that seems increasingly difficult to understand. We dedicate our time instilling character traits, values and confidence in their young lives. We wish for our students to grow up to lead more than they are led and to influence more than they are influenced. This is such an immense undertaking, but it is a journey we at Timothy Christian School are willing to take with our parents.
At Timothy Christian School, staff, students, and families are all part of a team, working together for the same result. Educating and nurturing each student to their fullest potential. TCS is where you will find a warm and welcoming community for your child and your family. In fact, our school is well-known for our unique culture of community and that is something we cherish. We really are more than just a school, we're a family.
We invite you to come any day to see our great school and to meet our warm and caring staff! At Timothy Christian School visitors are always welcome! Please feel free to stop in and see why we believe TCS is more than just a school.
Learning truth is all about educating, not with just science and math, but with life values. Living faith is applying what we have learned in our classrooms, our homes, and our communities. Building hope is how we partner with our parents to prepare our students for today, tomorrow, and eternity.
Educating Christian leaders for tomorrow in our classrooms today.
To us this means that we know the importance of raising up students who will be leaders in all aspects of life. We strive to graduate students who understand their calling in the world, will accept that calling and have the skills required to be effective servants of Christ in this world.
Timothy Christian School, Owen Sound was founded in 1976 by dedicated families that wanted to incorporate their family's Christian values into their children's education. As a community they established Timothy Christian School on the principle that, "the earth belongs to God and everything in it". Meaning that the school belongs to God and the curriculum that is taught must also reflect the majesty of God. TCS has continued to grow and offers a wonderful alternative to public education in the Owen Sound and Grey-Bruce area, graduating many great leaders in our community and abroad. In 2005, the Timothy Christian School community moved into the former Victoria Public School in Owen Sound and today TCS continues to educate many great leaders in their classrooms. We are proud to say that today TCS graduates span the globe and serve and work in their communities in all areas. We are proud of all of our alumni and many continue to return for annual school events. At Timothy Christian School, we are more than just a school, we are a family!

Sinn Fein accuse Leo Varadkar of 'hysterics' after 'campaign of intimidation' claim
Dan Grennan
The leader of Sinn Fein's government formation team, Pearse Doherty, has accused Leo Varadkar of 'hysterics' after the Taoiseach labelled rallies to be held by Sinn Fein as part of a 'campaign of intimidation and bullying'.
Speaking ahead of a government formation meeting with the Green party, Mr Doherty rejected the idea — also floated by Varadkar — that his party encourages their supporters to attack and harass others on social media.
The Taoiseach made the accusations at an event in Dublin on Monday morning.

The Sinn Fein Donegal TD said that his party had no plans to hold a protest if Sinn Fein are locked out of government formation talks with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.
When asked by an Extra.ie reporter whether Sinn Fein encourages their supporters to attack others on social media, Mr Doherty said: 'Absolutely not. Absolutely not, this is absolutely hysterical stuff coming from the Taoiseach.
'[Sinn Fein are] absolutely unaware. It doesn't happen. If there are any cases of that type of behaviour that is untoward, then obviously if that is brought to our attention, we will deal with it.
'Let me be clear, the only threats that are happening, at this point in time, are to our Vice President, Michelle O'Neill and to one of our ministers in the North.

'Maybe I'm mistaken but I haven't heard Leo Varadkar come out and condemn the fact that the PSNI told our party that they had intelligence that there was an attack going to be carried out on their lives.
'What we're doing is engaging with the public. Seriously, we are elected representatives, we have a huge mandate, and we're going out in public meetings to talk to the public and to answer questions from the public.
'That's what we're doing, and in any other democracy, this would be applauded and welcomed. For Leo and Micheal Martin, they fear the type of change that the public wants.
'They fear the fact that we will engage openly with members of the public in relation to the position that we hope to end up in, which is forming a government for change.

When asked about any potential Sinn Fein plans to protest being locked out of Government talks, Mr Doherty said: 'We have no intention of a protest. I have one mandate, as the lead negotiator for our team, and that is, to secure a program of government for change.
'That's the only mandate that we have. That's what we're completely focused on. And that's why we are stepping up and intensifying the negotiations this afternoon and over the rest of the week.

Our New Member Ministry oversees two lunches per year which are held on various fifth Sundays. We gather to honor the new members and to become better acquainted with them by interviewing them in front of the audience.
We provide them with a series of questions in advance so that they are prepared with the answers for the interviews.
The Elders also host at least one quarterly class per year for new members to help acquaint them with our church body and to answer any questions they may have. This class also helps the new members identify their gifts and begin to find their specific place in the body here at Murrieta Church of Christ.
On the first Saturday of every month, you will find the Men's Ministries cooking breakfast in our Fellowship Center. They meet at 7:30AM, cook their breakfast (and even eat their own cooking!), and then have a time of prayer and fellowship.

The Seniors plan trips to various destinations in Southern California, and they answer Uncle Sam's call whenever our church building becomes a polling place by being on hand to assist voters with their needs.
Our Senior ladies are also very involved with potlucks, showers and other events, as well as with communion preparation.

I am the Community Relations Director for Vineyard Place- a brand new memory care being built in Murrieta. I wanted to reach out to your church to see if there is any possibility in the future to have someone from the church do services with our residents. I know some churches can't do that, but I figured I would ask around and find out how we can best meet our future resident's spiritual needs. Also, do you guys at the church ever have seniors who are in need of guidance if they need to find housing whether its independent, assisted living, or memory care? I have been serving the needs for seniors for over 8 years now, so if you ever come across someone needing guidance, I'd be happy to help out! I live here in the Murrieta area so I know what resources are around! Anyways, please let me know if your church might be able to do services at our community once we are open!

Q: selecting multiple key with condition in python I have a dictionary containing thousands of key here is an example of it.
Mydict = {'A01': 'value1', 'A02': 'value1', 'C01': 'value1', 'C02': 'value1',
          'D02': 'value1', 'D03': 'value1', 'D04': 'value1', 'D05': 'value1',
          'D06': 'value1', 'D07': 'value1', 'D08': 'value1', 'D09': 'value1'}

I want to creat sub-dictionaries out of based on condition. I want to creat a dictionary that start with specific letter up to. let's say I want 'C' and 'D' but up to 'D08' .  here is the code I wrote. it'll select all C and D.
NewDict= {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if x.__contains__('C' or 'D')}

A: You appear to at least need an update:
Mydict = {'A01': 'value1', 'A02': 'value1', 'C01': 'value1', 'C02': 'value1',
          'D02': 'value1', 'D03': 'value1', 'D04': 'value1', 'D05': 'value1',
          'D06': 'value1', 'D07': 'value1', 'D08': 'value1', 'D09': 'value1'}
NewDict= {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if x.__contains__('D')
         }
NewDict.update({x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if x.__contains__('C')
         })
NewDict

There's probably a more efficient way to do this, however...
Also Python variable names should be in snake case e.g. new_dict

A: You can create a set for the letters that you want to keep and another for the "ranges". Then you create your dictionary by examining the key appropriately:
ranges = set(range(9))
letters = {'C', 'D'}

NewDict = {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict if x[0] in letters and int(x[1:]) in ranges}

Since checking membership in a set is O(1) you shouldn't have a problem with performance even if you have thousands of keys.
If you want to get really detailed about your keys and ranges, you can create a dictionary specifying which ranges you want for each key. For example:
ranges = {
    'C': set(), # empty set denotes select all 'C'
    'D': set(range(9))
}

NewDict = {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict if x[0] in ranges and (len(ranges[x[0]]) == 0 or int(x[1:]) in ranges[x[0]])}

print(NewDict)

Output
{'C01': 'value1', 'C02': 'value1', 'D02': 'value1', 'D03': 'value1', 'D04': 'value1', 'D05': 'value1', 'D06': 'value1', 'D07': 'value1', 'D08': 'value1'}

A: The expression 'C' or 'D' evals to 'C', henceforth what you wrote is equivalent to look only for 'C'. You just have to separate your test in two expressions. Also using in will be more idiomatic than using __contains__
{x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if 'C' in x or 'D' in x}
If you want to apply a test on every keys in a list, like check is it's smaller than 'D08', just do that and use lexicographic order.
NewDict= {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if x < 'D08'}
For comparizons of interval python provides a shortcut avoiding to write two expressions and you can directly write:
NewDict= {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if 'C01' < x < 'D08'}
Use inclusive <=or exclusive < comparizon operator depending on what you want.
For more complicated conditions on keys, it's probably clearer to use an explicit function like:
def condition(key):
    return 'C01' < key < 'D08'

NewDict= {x: Mydict[x] for x in Mydict.keys() if condition(x)}

With such format you can make your test on key as complicated as you want and the result will remains easy to read.
It would also be more idiomatic and shorter to use items() to iterate both on keys and values like:
NewDict= {k: v for k,v in Mydict.items() if 'C01' < k < 'D08'}

As a last word Camel case variables are usually reserved for classes in python. For variables the common convention would be to use snake case, like new_dict.

Hugh's Story - Redkite Receives a DJ Grant towards Education & Career Consultant Program
Feb 16, 9:20pm
Life can throw anyone a curve ball as Hugh, 17, and his family discovered when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. Yet in little over a year, Hugh was back on the path to achieving his dreams – and then some.
Hugh was happily juggling school with a busy competitive cricket schedule.
So, it was no surprise to Hugh's mum Lee when he complained of a pain in his left leg. "We thought it was normal," Hugh recalls. "Mum said 'You're playing cricket three times a week, you have to expect some aches and pains'."
Still, Lee sent Hugh to see his physiotherapist Ben. It was so fortunate she did. Ben suspected something serious. He immediately ordered an ultrasound.
"Even we could see something wasn't good," says Hugh. "The ultrasound pictures looked like honeycomb. They asked us to wait for an X-ray and a CAT scan. We were starting to worry."
Soon after, Hugh was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancerous tumour in his left fibula (knee bone). His family was in shock.
Just 15 days later, Hugh began nine months of life-saving treatment., Hugh was told he could lose his left leg, and with it potentially his dreams of cricket success.
"I had 12 weeks of chemotherapy, then limb salvage surgery to remove the tumour and a further 12 weeks of chemotherapy," Hugh remembers. "It was exhausting, but fortunately I was in good hands and I didn't lose my leg."
Hugh was determined to stay positive and continued to go to school when he was well enough during chemotherapy. He even competed in his school athletics carnival, his mate huffing and puffing as he pushed Hugh's wheelchair in the 800 metre sprint.
Not surprisingly, cricket remained Hugh's priority.
"I went to cricket training as often as I could," he says. "I couldn't train but would stand at the nets offering advice and sometimes I ran drills for my coaches."
The support of Hugh's family was vital to cope with the ups and downs of cancer treatment. And Redkite's help made sure his parents and big brother Finn could be there for Hugh from the moment he entered hospital. It began when Hugh received the signature Redkite Red Bag full of essentials to make the hospital stay more comfortable for them.
And like many parents of young people receiving cancer treatment, Hugh's mum Lee had to stop working to care for him. Redkite also provided vital financial support during this time to help cover bills, groceries and petrol. This really took the pressure off.
Just before Christmas, after nine months of treatment, Hugh received momentous news - his body showed no evidence of cancer.
It was at this point that Redkite Education and Career Specialists facilitated tutoring for Hugh, so he could catch up on missed education and keep pace with his peers. Hugh also received a Dare to Dream Scholarship from Redkite, to use to pursue his cricket career.
Recently, Hugh was offered the chance to play the 2018 cricket season with an English club – a life-changing opportunity. He is well on the way to achieving his dreams.
Yet, Hugh says it's also the simple things that mean the most right now. "I have enjoyed learning to drive and hanging out with friends," he says. "Just being a normal teenager feels pretty good!"


It was in the Ottoman Empire, in the year 1623, when an alchemist named Avedis Zildjian first discovered a method of fusing copper, tin and silver to create unique musical instruments. From that day to the present day, the Zildjian mystique has captivated musicians and music lovers alike. The secret method for blending metals survives to carry the celebrated 'Zildjian Sound' into the present day and beyond. It takes so much more than merely crafting cymbals, drumsticks and mallets to fulfill the dreams and desires of drummers around the globe. It takes passion and dedication: two things we have known for centuries.


Drugs made from plasma donated by paid donors are just as safe as those made from plasma from volunteer donors.
Access to the commercial paid plasma market is essential in ensuring enough supply so that Canadian patients continue to receive the lifesaving therapies they need.
While some have argued that a parallel paid donation system for plasma could mean fewer volunteer donors, the experiences of other countries suggest both paid and voluntary plasma donation can safely coexist. We will continue to monitor these practices closely.
Transfusion: Some plasma is transfused directly into patients to treat bleeding disorders, trauma and other indications. We collect enough plasma to meet patients' needs for these treatments.
Plasma protein products: Plasma is also used as a raw material to produce a category of drugs called plasma protein products. Large volumes of plasma are heavily manipulated and manufactured into small amounts of finished product. Within this category of drugs, the products in highest demand are immune globulins. We only collect enough plasma to meet about 25 per cent of the demand for immune globulins. The remaining plasma needed to make these drugs comes from paid donors in the United States.
This is not a new practice and has been common for decades. It is safe and is acceptable to patient groups who use these products and recognize this practice ensures security of supply (as outlined in the Dublin Consensus statement).
Canada, the United States and Europe have strict standards for collecting plasma and turning it into pharmaceutical products. That means all donors (paid or volunteer) must meet specific criteria to be eligible to donate, and their donations are thoroughly tested. As an added safeguard for patients, manufacturers also use technology that eliminates viruses. Most of the products we buy are sold worldwide and are subject to regulation and licensing in multiple countries, including Canada.

Is shock therapy a usable treatment again?
The controversial shock therapy treatment may become popular again.
Post author By Neil Raymond
No Comments on Is shock therapy a usable treatment again?
Shock therapy or more scientifically known as ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). Psychiatrists don't like the term "shock therapy" because othe stigma surrounding it, which they say prevents the large majority of severely depressed patients from even trying it.
It might be surprising to learn that despite its misuse in the past, ECT is now considered one of the most effective treatments for people who haven't been helped by antidepressant medication. In just the U.S., there's more than 5 million Americans suffering from depression so crippling that it leads many people to kill themselvesy
Dr. Sarah Lisanby says that "One of my patients explained it to me saying that: "It's not that I want to die. It's that living is too painful."
Dr. Sarah Lisanby works at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland, and is developing new ways to help the more than 35 percent of depressed patients who don't get better with medication.
Dr. Sarah Lisanby added: "Imagine feeling severely depressed, and then you try medication after medication, and those treatments, even though you're doing everything the doctor told you, the treatments are failing you. It's not uncommon for someone to have tried 20 or 30 different medications by the time that they come to see me."
A big issue facing doctors is indeed the stigma surrounding this controversial treatment. It has been suggested by doctors that popularizing a different name would help convince more patients to try this technique. It's unknown exactly what will happen going forward, but it's an interesting topic to follow.

Harmonic mixing, or mixing using musical keys is very prevalent today. From the bedroom DJ to the superstar, almost everyone is doing it to achieve the perfect sounding mix. When properly applied, harmonic mixing can achieve superb results.
Traktor Tips has previously touched on the basics of harmonic mixing and today we will be looking at Mixed In Key software that, among other things, classifies your tracks by musical keys.
Mixed in Key uses their own proprietary Camelot Wheel for classifying keys.
Once you install Mixed in Key and run the program you are presented with a nice clean intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface). Browse to your track collection folder(s) and immediately your songs are loaded and Mixed In Key begins analyzing.
After you have analyzed your files they are added to Mixed In Key's localized database and can be referred back to as needed via the Mixed in Key's "browse collection".
As of version 6 there is now a convenient piano popup that allows you to play and hear the keys.
In addition to the above, Mixed In Key also indicates the need for audio file optimization by showing a key result that appears as an underlined hyperlink. Once you click on the file it will indicate the adjustment needed in the space below. With the click of a button the file can then be optimized in Platinum Notes, which will be covered in a future review.
A search area is provided and all fields are sortable plus you can click the Camelot Wheel in the GUI to show only the key specified. Drag a track into the preview area and you can listen to it in its entirety viewing the waveform as well which is also color coded by its key.
Mixed In Key integrates nicely with Traktor. In the "update tags" section of the "Personalize" menu you can set it to populate the "key text" field viewable in Traktor with the key value. Additional settings allow you to insert the energy value in fields of your choice. Keep in mind that .wav file values will need to be entered manually for Traktors database, as they do not utilize IDv3 tags.
I found Mixed in Key to be extremely accurate and useful beyond the scope of DJing, It is also a handy tool to refer back to when listening to tracks, and doing remixes or mashups. I analyzed 270 tracks of various genres and it returned key values for all including the very hard to detect minimal techno. Mixed in Key has received positive recommendations from many big name dj's and rightly so.
At $58 (US) I believe it is an excellent value and a worthwhile investment for any DJ pursuing the art of harmonic mixing.
Thanks to Matthew Shaw for providing Traktor Tips with this review.

Jesus, the Prince of peace we confess in this hymn, brings God's peace into this world.
When we turn from sin and trust in Jesus Christ as our only Savior, God, and King, we have peace.
Those hardly seem like the words of a "Prince of peace," do they? More like the words of an arson! What is Jesus talking about?
Now, when Jesus spoke the words that begin today's Gospel lesson, He knew what lay ahead.
He knew what had to happen in order that you and I, here in Logan, Ohio in 2013, could hear and come to believe in the good news that God so loved the world He gave His only Son so that all who believe in Him will not perish--will not be lost to God forever--but have eternal life.
Jesus knew that before you and I could get the chance to hear, receive, and believe in that good news, He would first have to offer His own life on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
He would have to rise from the dead in order to tear down the barriers of sin and everlasting death that otherwise will keep human beings from having peace and life with God.
He would have to send the Holy Spirit into the life of every believer so that every believer could make disciples by sharing the good news of new life for all who believe in Jesus.
In the first verse of our Gospel lesson, then, Jesus is saying that He came to the earth in order to unleash the fire of His Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the one true God, is the fire that enlightens us about our sin, about our need of God's grace in Christ, and about God's love for us given to us on the cross.
After enlightening us, the Holy Spirit then fills the willing with the fire of saving faith in Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is the fire Who, as we repent for sin and turn to Christ alone as our righteousness, burns away our sin, our excuses for sin, and all that is unholy in us.
And the Holy Spirit does this so that, one day, when we come face to face with Jesus, by God's amazing grace, all that will remain of each of us is the child of God we were made to be. As we submit to Christ, the Holy Spirit unleashed by Christ works in us to make us worthy to stand in the presence of God the Father by the death and resurrection of God the Son, purged of sin and death, living once more in the innocence of Eden God will ultimately give to those who believe in Jesus.
"I can't wait to get the ball rolling on Good Friday, and Easter, and Pentecost," Jesus is saying as He sets His face for Jerusalem and all that He will accomplish there for our salvation.
Jesus is here underscoring the fact that the fiery Holy Spirit will come to His followers because He has undergone His own baptism, the baptism of His death and resurrection.
You know, every time a person is baptized in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Baptism of Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection from the tomb is reenacted. We're submerged in the water and we emerge again made new by God's grace.
By undergoing the baptism of death and rising from death, Jesus makes it possible for you and me to live.
Through His Baptism, Jesus makes it possible for us to drown our old sinful selves through daily repentance and sorrow for sin and to be raised again to live in His grace as we trust in Him alone as our only hope!
In verse 50 then, Jesus voices His desperate desire to accomplish His baptism so that we can be saved to live with God now and in eternity. If that doesn't make you feel good, nothing will make you feel good. God counts you worth all the suffering and dying that Jesus underwent in order to give you a life that only comes through Christ, and through faith in Christ and His grace and His Word, alone!
"Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
It's jarring when Jesus says that He came to earth bring division.
Does this mean that the angels were lying when they sang of "peace on earth" on the night of Jesus' birth?
Actually, when Jesus says that He came to bring division, He's using a turn of phrase common in the language He used every day, Aramaic. His turn of phrase here is an Aramaism. He's not saying that it's His purpose to bring division. He's saying that it's inevitable that He will bring division.
And Jesus is right, isn't He?
Once Jesus shows up or when someone talks about Jesus, people will inevitably have an opinion about Him.
Either they will bow down to Him as God in human flesh--as God incarnate--or they won't.
Either they will accept His claim to be the only Savior of the world--or they won't.
And some who reject Jesus for Who He claims to be will do so with hostility, insults, persecution, even death.
Truly: When we confess that Jesus is Lord, we are set smack dab in the middle of a conflict with the same world that nailed Jesus to a cross two thousand years ago!
A wise Christian woman recently told me about a conflict that happened in her church a few years back. Someone had asked this woman, "How can Christians fight like that?" She said, "Because they're Christians. And because some truths, the truths revealed by God in Scripture, are worth fighting for!"
For that woman, that meant that when the truth of the Gospel, the truth of the Bible, the truth of Jesus' Lordship were at stake, Christians won't attack, but they also won't budge from their good confession. They will proclaim the grace of God given only in Jesus Christ.
They will proclaim the truth about sin and the truth about the common human need for repentance and for the new life only Christ can give.
And they will do that even if it makes others upset with them, father against son, mother against daughter, just as Jesus says.
We might add that they'll do so even if it causes disagreement between church member and church member.
Those who believe in Jesus have peace with God. Yet not all people who hear the good news of new life for those who believe in Christ experience God's peace. They refuse to believe in Jesus. They refuse His peace.
So, peace isn't yet a fully accomplished fact in this fallen, world. Our peace as believers in Jesus comes from the fact that one day, Jesus will return, closing the curtain on the life of this planet, judging the living and the dead--those who have turned from sin and trusted in Him as their God will live eternally with God, those who haven't repented or trust in Christ will be condemned and separated from God.
Only then will the kingdom of God will be fully and finally perfected in what the book of Revelation calls "a new heaven and a new earth." Only then will the peace Jesus came to bring be fully realized.
Until that time, even in the midst of the chaos, sin, and death of this world--in the midst of the chaos, sin, and death that roils inside each of us--and even in the face of opposition from all quarters, believers in Christ experience what the Bible calls a "peace that surpasses understanding," a peace insusceptible to empirical proof, but a peace nonetheless experienced by anyone who knows that Jesus will never allow any who trust in Him to be taken from Him.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the "Prince of peace," the One Who has come to bring peace to us, even if violent, hateful people refuse His peace and even if others treat us with hostility, misunderstanding, or hatred. Even in these circumstances, even in the moment of death, we have peace with God because of Jesus.
We may find momentary peace and happiness in the sins this world offers. People may enjoy (and should enjoy) the beauties of this world.
But real peace, the peace of God, stays with us even when our lives are going crazy. The peace of God can belong to us even when, like Job, we endure multiple tragedies and our family and friends tell us that we must have done something wrong or that we're naive to hold onto a God Who lets bad things happen to us in a bad world. The peace of God belongs to us even, when, like our sisters and brothers in Christ in places like Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan, we face persecution, thuggery, and violence. Even then, we still have the peace of God as we hold on tightly to the God we know in Jesus Christ.
A sinful world today rejects Jesus and those who follow Him as much as a sinful world two thousand years ago once rejected Jesus and put Him on a cross. But whether being a Christian is in fashion as it once was or is out of fashion as it is in America today, doesn't matter. Whether the world or unbelieving Christians--wolves in sheep's clothing--will live in peace with God's people who trust themselves, their sins, their pasts, their present, and their futures to Christ alone, the people who do trust in Christ alone will always have peace.

Our incremental deployment, patented and patent pending technologies are poised to smoothly transition legacy 9-1-1 systems to the future of emergency services, with the latest NG9-1-1 technology available.
How is NGA 911 implemented?
The NGA 911 solution is a Solution as a Service (SaaS) deployment model. Other than network equipment there is no physical equipment required at the PSAP. Our SaaS model is deployed in the AWS cloud making it easier to install and provides higher availability, scalability and flexibility than a data center model.
Why a Cloud-based solution?
Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases, and a broad set of application services over the internet. Cloud-based solutions are easy to install and maintain, do not require new facilities or hardware, and are dynamically scalable to adjust to varying loads.
How long does it take to set up an NGA911 operation from start to finish?
The deployment of the NGA 911 solution takes 9 to 12 months. The OSP aggregation and the deployment of the ESInet take up the majority of this time.
How is AWS involved with the NGA 911 technology?
AWS is the platform on which we developed our Software as a Solution (SaaS). AWS is the leading Cloud provider for the Federal, State and Local Governments throughout the U.S. Over 3,000 agencies, including DHS, DOD, FBI and CIA, utilize the AWS cloud.
Do you provide support through implementation?
NGA 911 will work hand in hand with you during the pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation of our solution. You will be assigned a dedicated project manager whose responsibility is to ensure all aspects of the implementation are completed to your satisfaction.

Home Editor's Pick Mandarin notice board placed at Mount Lavinia railway station removed
Mandarin notice board placed at Mount Lavinia railway station removed
By Indika Sri Aravinda
The Railway Department has removed the notice board in Mandarin (Chinese) that was displayed at the Mount Lavinia railway station.
Sri Lanka Railways General Manager Dilantha Fernando told Colombo Gazette that future changes to any railway stations will require the approval of the Sri Lanka Railways General Manager.
He said the station masters of all railway stations have been informed in this regard.
Dilantha Fernando said the notice board in Mandarin was displayed at the Mount Lavinia Railway station on the approval of the Sri Lanka Railways General Manager in 2015 with the backing of a hotel in the area.
When inquired on the notice board, the station master of the Mount Lavinia Railway station said the notice board was displayed in Mandarin for the convenience of Chinese tourists arriving in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka Railways General Manager Dilantha Fernando said that investigations have revealed that a hotel in the area had taken over the maintenance of the Mount Lavinia railway station a few years ago.
Earlier this month, the Railway Department launched an investigation into the notice board displayed in Mandarin at the Mount Lavinia railway station after it was circulated on social media.
The notice board gives the long distance train times in English and Mandarin.
Thereafter, the Official Languages Commission commenced an investigation into the notice board at the Mount Lavinia railway station.
The Commission's Assistant Director Sivapragashan Mathivanan told Colombo Gazette that the investigation was launched based on a complaint received in this regard.
Mathivanan pointed out that displaying a notice board using the language of another country was a violation of the Constitution of Sri Lanka. (Colombo Gazette)

Obama to promote jobs plan in Boehner's home state
Robert Beatty— September 14, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Barack Obama is visiting a school undergoing a multimillion-dollar renovation to sell his proposal for creating more jobs. And it's no coincidence that the school is in Ohio, the home state of House Speaker John Boehner, a critic of the president's proposal to tax the rich to pay for his plan.
The visit Tuesday to Columbus, Ohio, is designed to promote $25 billion in school modernization and infrastructure spending that's part of the $447 billion jobs bill Obama sent Monday to Congress.
Boehner's district is farther west, but Obama will be in Republican territory in a key swing state for the 2012 presidential election. Boehner's office had no comment on Obama's visit.
After receiving the president's jobs proposal politely after he unveiled it before Congress last week, Boehner and other Republicans grew notably more skeptical Monday once the White House announced plans to pay for the costly measure entirely with tax increases on the rich and corporations that the GOP has already rejected.
The bulk of the payment comes from nearly $400 billion from limiting the deductions on charitable contributions and other items that wealthy people can take. There's also $40 billion from closing oil and gas loopholes, $18 billion from hiking taxes on certain income made by fund managers, and $3 billion from changing the tax treatment of corporate jets.
Obama has said he's asking the wealthy to pay their fair share, and he called on Congress to pass the bill without delay.
"The only thing that's stopping it is politics,'' Obama said Monday. "And we can't afford these same political games. Not now.''
Boehner and other Republicans questioned whether Obama was really intent on bipartisanship if he was asking them to swallow tax hikes they already opposed, without any spending cuts.
"We remain eager to work together on ways to support job growth, but this proposal doesn't appear to have been offered in that bipartisan spirit,'' said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck.
The jobs package would offer tax cuts for workers and employers by reducing the Social Security payroll tax. Spending elements include more money to hire teachers, rebuild schools and pay unemployment benefits. There are also tax credits to encourage businesses to hire veterans and the long-term unemployed.
Obama's top campaign strategist, David Axelrod, said Tuesday that the White House wants Congress to act on the entire bill rather than approaching it piecemeal. "We're not in a negotiation to break up the package,'' he said on ABC's "Good Morning America.'' "It's not an a la carte menu.''
The White House, which has gotten burned in the past by making overly optimistic job-creation predictions, has avoided estimating how many jobs the package would create. But in an interview Monday on NBC News, Obama embraced an estimate from an outside economist, Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics, and said the bill "could mean an additional 2 million jobs.''
For Obama, some progress on the economy has become a political imperative as he approaches his re-election campaign with the economy stalled, unemployment at 9.1 percent and polls showing the public unhappy with his stewardship of the issue.

Q: The grammar in the English novel Forrest Gump I am currently reading the English novel Forrest Gump and this is the first time I am reading a novel using my second language.
I realized that the author is writing somehow different from the English I learned at school,
for example he spells wile for while, nex for next, sposed  for supposed, cept for except, axe for ask.
My questions are:

*

*Is this grammatically correct?

*Since this is the only English novel I have finished so far, is this style of writing common in English literature?

*What is author's intention for using spelling like this?

A: nex for next, sposed for supposed, cept for except, axe for ask
As noted in the comments, these are ways the author
of the novel uses to represent how the narrator (Forrest Gump) pronounces things.
