Fifth Third Bank to Provide 1 Million Meals to Fight Hunger Across Bank's Footprint
CINCINNATI—Fifth Third Bancorp's nearly 20,000 employees will celebrate Fifth Third Day by providing 1 million meals to the hungry. The meals are being donated to various food organizations across the Bank's 11-state retail footprint in honor of the Bank's annual companywide community celebration in May, centered on May 3. The date, 5/3 on the calendar, is recognized as Fifth Third Day.
"May third is a day to celebrate the positive difference we make in the lives of our customers, our co-workers and our communities as we continue to address hunger across our footprint," said Greg Carmichael, Fifth Third's chairman and CEO. "Through this pandemic and through every era, we remain true to the strong spirit of the Bank as we work to build stronger communities one person, one family, one business at a time."
The Bank has celebrated Fifth Third Day since 1991, and since 2012 the Bank and its employees have worked toward a common goal to fight hunger. For four years, Fifth Third has met or exceeded its goal of providing 1 million meals to those in need. The meals are provided through monthlong events, including volunteering, group employee efforts, and individual employee efforts. And customers will have an opportunity to support the effort by purchasing shields at the Bank's locations for $1 where every dollar donated will go to local organizations to provide meals to those in need. Like last year, due to the pandemic, traditional in-person volunteerism will not be part of the community service efforts during May, but employees will have an opportunity to participate in various virtual volunteer activities, which will go toward providing meals across the Bank's footprint.
According to the USDA's latest "Household Food Insecurity in the United States" report, more than 35 million people in the United States experienced hunger in 2019. Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, estimates that, because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, more than 42 million people may experience food insecurity, including up to 13 million children.
"There has never been a time when Fifth Third Day has been more important," said Lars Anderson, vice chairman, strategic growth initiatives and Fifth Third Day corporate champion. "This is a time when so many individuals are under distress and the basic need of having food is a challenge for so many. Fifth Third Day aligns with a key part of our mission, which is to help make our communities better places to live. We have a keen focus on helping those who are dealing with food insecurity and we are grateful to help be a part of the solution."

"Kick een she back door" making waves in Grenada
in OPINION/COMMENTARY
by A. Anande Trotman- Joseph
Long after Antigua 2012's Carnival is over, the notorious song "Kick een she back door" is popular in Grenada as an "anti establishment anthem". Reportedly banned in Antigua, where the "Burning Flames" are from, Antigua's own WAR (Women against Rape) first declared war on the song. A firestorm of protests, was fanned by regional women's rights activists, including Code Red and Grenada's own GNOW.
The rhythm and beats are road march worthy. However, you should really listen to the song. Stripped of its rhythms and beats, the lyrics begin with blood curdling screams of a woman screaming in fear for her life… At the very least, it suggests a case of violence and house breaking "…Bruk am een, bruk am een… and she bawling murder, murder, murder… accompanied to sounds of more screams…, call de police".
Further, the "Urban Dictionary" tells us, that "getting your back door kicked in", refers to anal sex. Lyrics which suggest unlawful violence, without consent at two levels, obviously encourages the "dissing" of our women.
This song must bring trauma, chills and flash backs to all women who have been victims of abuse, violence, rape and to the survivors of women who were killed as a result of male violence. Grenadian statistics show that sexual violence against women and children are too high for such a small nation. Grenada is being labelled dangerous for women and girls. This is evidenced by one third of all Criminal High court trials, being for sexual offences. Therefore, continued airplay of this song shows great insensitivity by artistes, DJs, radio stations and promoters.
Through the media, we heard justifications for the acceptance of the local performance of the song, including by some women themselves, stating that Sparrow's and others' suggestive vintage lyrics may have similar impact. Maybe the time is right to discuss the role songs play in contributing to modern social behaviour and related sexual violence.
Given many negative responses to GNOW's campaigns on violence against women, they may wish to find new strategies, even faces, to effectively reach persons attracted to inciting songs and lyrics. Obviously there is desensitisation to the campaign messages. With Carnival around the corner, GNOW should regroup, stay on message, lobbying Ministries, Carnival Committees, censors, studio owners, DJs and the public on acceptable guidelines for songs played and performed in our tri island state.
I am all for creativity and dancing to good soca and calypso. But I won't dance to the Kick down the backdoor song. It "disses my sisters and me. It celebrates violence against women. So conscious brothers and sisters, don't jump, wave or wine to songs with rude, raw, out of place lyrics. There is already too much rape, sexual violence and murder against our sisters and even brothers , Let's just say, "I cyaan wine for dat…"

Ninety Days Gone – Now The Action
Antheajapal says:
I remember being appalled when my femal cousin jived to Desire. That was many years ago. This campaign should have started years an years ago. I was extra sensitized as I witness the violence my mother endured at the hands of my father "… a lash a wood for she." Weaponised male penis and lyrics the worst my young mind could ever imagine.

Almighty Dollar Slots
Almighty Dollar is an odd but welcome mix of biblical imagery, money, and some special features you don't usually see in games by rival gaming. But a cut above most of their other titles, this is one that clearly spent more time in the oven and is decently done for that reason. We had a blast playing it, enjoyed the added wilds and multipliers that you usually see lacking in classic 3 reel games, and wouldn't trade the time we spent with it for the world.
The gameplay here, unexpectedly, is the star of the show. Most of these games all play the same, and in the 3 reel space, there isn't much going on in the way of innovation. This isn't bad, and they all pay well, but it makes for largely forgettable experiences that all blend in and are soon forgotten as you move onto the next. This game takes a bit of the modern additions to the genre, such as wilds and multipliers, and keeps those thankfully intact.
We do love the theme and the art as well, but it's the gameplay here that flies and soars above the rest, all the way to heaven and into our hearts.
Things We Hate
We do wish we could see more of this game, as it really is good. A sequel would be lovely, as would the addition of more features since they already added a few of them, such as the inclusion of various jackpots in a progressive fashion, and things of that nature. A little can go a long way here, and they've already laid a solid foundation for that in the eventual sequel.
Almighty Dollar Slots is a great game that sings and soars in all fronts, managing to impress is with both the gameplay and the art style. That's not usually the case with Rival Gaming titles, but this one is a clear gem. If you love the biblical imagery you see in the screenshots, and want something that's easy to get into and bet on but still has some nice additional features, this game strikes a good balance between the two extremes. We're hoping for a sequel, and would love it if more of the Rival Gaming titles played and looked as good as this fine game managed to be! It's a gem.


Brushing your teeth i s one of the most important tasks in your day, it has numerous benefits, it keeps your teeth clean and free of plaque, helps keep your teeth white, can help keep your breath fresh and it can just give you a fresh and clean feeling in the morning. I've used many different types of toothbrushes over the years but I have settled on Electric Toothbrushes as I feel that they do a more thorough job. Braun is the brand I have been using for years, this is the one I use on the right, they have a range of models and toothbrush heads that vary pretty dramatically in price. Mine is just from our local supermarket and it has served me very well.
I'll go into a few benefits of electric toothbrushes and why I think you should switch to one as soon as you can! With the rotating motion of an electric toothbrushes head it can reach hard to reach places with ease, it can get itself easily between your teeth and push the food particles out. Using a normal toothbrush can make it hard to brush as thoroughly as we would like to. I also find that an electric toothbrush makes for longer, more thorough teeth brushing. The toothbrush I use myself has a timer on it and it lets me know when I am done brushing. I try to get a good portion of time done on each side of my mouth both top and bottom.
I used to have some issues with bad breath but after using my electric toothbrush regularly it has become much less of a problem, I find I can just get a much better clean when using an electric. The movements per minute when using an electric toothbrush is obviously much higher, according to the website for Oral-B an electric toothbrush can do up to 48,800 movements per minute while regular brushing can only deliver between 300 to 600 movements per minute. This is a huge difference!
Overall I have had great success when using this toothbrush for the past 5 or so years. I have only had to replace the unit once (I use mine in the shower with no issues) and the replaceable brushes last for a quite a long time. I have been lucky to never require a filling or dental work throughout my life and I am sure I can credit some of that to my usage of an electric toothbrush over a vast period of my life.
I would definitely recommend an electric toothbrush to any person who was wondering whether to switch!


Slavery had mostly died out in western Europe about the year 1000 AD, replaced by serfdom. It lingered longer in England and in peripheral areas linked to the Muslim world, where slavery continued to flourish. Church rules suppressed slavery of Christians. Most historians argue the transition was quite abrupt around 1000, but some see a gradual transition from about 300 to 1000.The major European languages, including English, used variations of the word ""slave"", in references to Slavic laborers of Byzantium.

Prussian Army
The Prussian army was at once the most important and historically the most interesting of the forces of the German empire. Its début (about 1630) was not satisfactory, and in the Thirty Years' War troops of Sweden, of the Emperor, of the League, &c., plundered Brandenburg unharmed. The elector, when appealed to for protection, could but answer, "Que faire? Ils ont des canons." The humiliations of this time, were, however, avenged by the troops of the next ruler of Brandenburg, called the Great Elector. The supposed invincibility of the Swedes did not prevent him from inflicting upon them a severe defeat at Fehrbellin, and thereafter the Prussian contingents which took part in the many European wars of the time acquitted themselves creditably. One of their generals was the famous Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau, and the reckless gallantry of this leader was conspicuous on many fields, from Blenheim to Malplaquet.
But Leopold's greatest work was done in the years of peace (1715-40), during which Prussia was preparing the army with which Frederick the Great won his battles. He had introduced (about 1700) iron ramrods into the infantry service, and for over twenty years the Prussian infantry was drilled to a perfection which gave it a superiority of five to three over the best-drilled troops of the Austrian service, and still greater predominance over the French, which was then accounted the best in Europe. Frederick William I., king of Prussia, directed and supervised the creation of the new Prussian army, and Leopold was his principal assistant. In organization and methods of recruiting, as well as in tactical efficiency, the army of 1740 was equally pre-eminent.
Then came the wars of Frederick the Great. It is not too much to say that the infantry won his earlier battles; the cavalry had been neglected both by Frederick William and by Leopold, and Frederick wrote that "it was not worth the devil's while to fetch it away." But the predominance of the infantry was so far indisputable that Frederick was able to devote himself to the reorganization of the mounted arm, with results which appeared in the splendid victories of Hohenfriedberg, Rossbach, Leuthen and Zorndorf. But long before the close of the Seven Years' War the incomparable infantry of the old army had disappeared, to be replaced by foreigners, deserters and vagabonds of all kinds, not to mention the unwilling Saxon and other recruits forced into the king's service.
The army of 200,000 men which Frederick bequeathed to his successor was indeed superb, and deserved to be the model of Europe. But with Frederick's death the genius which had animated it, and which alone gave value to such heterogeneous materials, was gone. The long peace had the customary effect of sapping the efficiency of the long-service troops. They still retained their imposing appearance and precision of movement, and overweening self- confidence. But in 1806, after two crushing defeats and a series of humiliating surrenders, Prussia found herself at the feet of the conqueror, shorn of half her territory, obliged to receive French troops in all her towns and fortresses, and only existing on sufferance. But in these very disasters were laid the seeds of her future greatness. By the treaty of Tilsit the Prussian army was limited to 43,000 men.

Safer Neighbourhood Teams | IT'S HAPPENING IN HEELEY!
Hello, I'm Inspector Ian Stubbs from the Woodseats and Gleadless Valley Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs), here to tell you about what's happening in your area.
The SNTs are planning a week of activities in conjunction with partner agencies, with the aim of making the area a greener, cleaner and safer place for everyone to live and work, by tackling the issues identified by local people. This joint working is crucial in achieving visible results for local people, particularly in relation to improvements in the area.
The co-ordinated week of action will run from Monday 14 June until Friday 18 June 2010. Prior to the event (in the week commencing 24 May) officers and PCSOs will be consulting with local residents in Heeley to find out what matters to them, and this will influence what we do during the week of action.
As your local safer neighbourhood team, we want to understand and deal with the issues that matter to you the most.
Following the success of the new drop-in-centre located in Morrison's car park at Meadowhead, your local SNTs are changing the style in which they hold community meetings.
We will be holding further drop-in-centre's every other month for members of the Heeley community. The mobile police station will be located in the Lidl car park on Chesterfield Road. You can call in any time between 10am and 6pm.
Future meetings are Thursday 29 July, Thursday 23 September and Thursday 25 November 2010. Everyone is welcome.
To find out what priorities have recently been agreed in your community, visit www.southyorks.police.uk and type in your postcode, or call 0114 296 3680.
Working closely with our partners, a number of ongoing operations have contributed towards overall crime falling across the Woodseats and Gleadless Valley area.
In the last 12 months, (March 2009 to February 2010) overall crime fell by almost 24 per cent compared to the previous 12-month period – that's 1451 fewer incidents.
Criminal damage fell by 25 per cent – that's 404 less incidents. Violent crime against a person is down by 126 fewer incidents. We've had 517 fewer incidents of vehicle crime, and 87 fewer house burglaries. We can achieve even more with further help from the public – that's you telling us what you know.
Police officers and PCSOs, whilst out on patrol, have been out knocking on the doors of households to have a friendly chat. Around 460 residents have provided their email address so they can receive regular information about what's happening in the local area.
If you would like to receive this type of information please contact the Woodseats and Gleadless automated contact line 0114 296 3680 leaving your email address. We will then update you each month regarding actions we have taken to address local priorities. In return, you can use email to influence what these local priorities are.

Will the Electoral College Still Exist in 20 Years?
The Electoral College has been a key part of U.S. elections since George Washington's in 1789. However, it has been controversial, especially in recent years. So often, countries across the globe do not understand the election system in the United States, and this is because this is the only nation to use an electoral collage to elect its leader. One problem that people often see with the current system is that it can cause certain states to have more power in elections than others. Essentially, when you cast your vote for president, you are actually voting for who your state chooses, through the "electors." Of the current 538 electors (435 for the House of Representatives, 3 for the District of Columbia and 100 senators), 270 votes are required for any candidate to win.
Let's talk about distribution. This is a crucial factor in deciding the outcome of an election because it causes certain states with a smaller population to have more influence than a bigger state. For example, Wyoming has 3 electoral votes. One for one congressperson in the House and another 2 for their senators. California, a much larger state, has 55 Electoral College votes. It gets 53 from their congresspeople and 2 more from the senators. Now, initially, you may not see anything wrong with this. However, when you look at how many people are being represented by each electoral college point, you find that Wyoming's points represent less people. In other words, each person in Wyoming has a more powerful vote than each person in California. If we base our numbers on the 2019 census, we can determine how many people each electoral point represents. Wyoming had a population of 578,759 people which divided by 3 equals around 193,000 per vote. In California, which has a population of 35.51 million, each electoral college point represents over 700,000 people. And this is where the flaw of the Electoral College can be seen.
If each vote was distributed evenly, then each electoral college point would represent 600,000 people. In addition, despite the fact that only 0.18% of the US population lives in Wyoming, that state controls .56% percent of the Electoral College votes. Whereas California makes up 12.1% of the U.S. population but only has 10.2% of the Electoral College points. There are two possible solutions to this issue.
One would be to have an election simply based on the "popular vote." Whoever gets the most votes nationwide wins. Another solution would be to split the states Electoral College points like they currently do in Maine and Nebraska. For example, in Nebraska they award 2 Electoral College points to the overall winner of the state and then they award 1 Electoral College point to the winner of each of Nebraska's 3 congressional districts. So in the 2020 election, although the overwhelming majority of Nebraska voted for Donald Trump, Joe Biden still received 1 electoral vote from Nebraska because of how they split their vote. Now, the chances of the U.S. switching to a popular vote is very low. This is because, despite the fact the overall opinion of the majority of the U.S. population wants to get rid of the Electoral College, the Republican Party does not. The Republicans have won 4 elections over the history of the U.S. because of the way the Electoral College operates. For example, in 2016 Hillary Clinton received almost 2.9 million more votes than Donald Trump but still lost the election by 74 Electoral College votes.
In conclusion, the Electoral College is controversial, especially these days. Often considered a vestige of history and a somewhat outdated system, many see it as opposing the idea of "One Person, One Vote." While I believed that the Electoral College needs reform in order to increase how fair our elections are, there is no doubt that the Republican Party will fight with vigor to keep this integral party of the American election system, as long as it continues to benefit them.

I recently had some time away on a game farm in what we in South Africa refer to the Bushveld. This area has a large number of smaller trees so they are not like a forest. Lots of game is on the farm and it is a great area to relax as even the internet reception is limited. My Wife enjoys her sleep while I am not the best sleeper so I take a building project with to keep me busy. The project for this trip was a 72" Sinbad glider that my mates had made a laser cut kit of.
It was a last minute decession to take this with so planning was not as good as I would like so some tools were left behind along with some of the kit parts. Did most of the structure and added parts to strengthen som of the structure was very weak. The sheeting was 1mm balsa and it is long time that I since I used this thickness, infact the stock I had was still Solarbo Balsa!
The Bushveld was very hot and dry so the wood glue dried very fast and I would build on the patio outside but you had to watch out or the monkeys would steal of break the parts.
Thanks for sharing your build Chris which looks very nicely done. I used to take a build project with me on my frequent travels abroad but the building took place in my hotel room so monkeys weren't a problem! I know how frustrating it can be when you leave something vital behind like a razor plane or even the cyano, but often you can find something to be getting on with, as long as you have some wood. I used to have a checklist but it wasn't infallible, especially when I forgot to refer to it!
A wonderful country South Africa.
Just to show that I did not just build the Sinbad whilst on holiday, here are some pictures from 1 of the 2 game drives that we went on, one was a night drive.
The Sinbad is an old free flight design and is popular due a u tube clip showing a very good pilot having a ball flying on a outstanding slope. The problem is that I do not have easy access to a slope so it will have to be launched via Bungee or aircraft. I made up a launch gradle but the depth of the fuselage made the gradle very high. The design is also weak incertain areas so mods had to be made, I added cross grain sheeting between the fuselage longerons so you can get a good grip when using the bungee. Not sure how good the glide will be, the wing is undercamber and with the large fuselage the drag will be high.
Covering is Oracover and colours are what was in the cuboard.
My son and I went to test fly the Sinbad last Sunday afternoon as it was wind still. My Bungee is tired but we decided the Sinbad would not need much pull so we tried to see if it would work. The hand lauch test confirmed it would fly so it was time to commit to a bungee launch. First attempt showed that the towhook was in the correct position with a straight climb but not enough pull. Next attempt we streached the rubber a bit more but it snapped. We tied a knot and tried again. 2 launches showed the glide was fair but we needed more pull, when we tried the rubber snapped. I decided to try and hand tow. My son and I are more like props or locks than wings so we were a little slow for the initial launch so I suggested that we try having a litle of the rubber on the line for extra pull on the line. My son ran and I flew the Sinbad, this launch was good but it appeared to pop of the line near the top of the launch. When I landed my son was moaning that the rubber had snapped and stung his hand. My turn to run, good launch and getting nice height when suddenly it was my turn to have a sore hand, the rubber had snapped again! We decided to pack up and go home before we were on the next episode of The Science of Stupid!

A meeting of the working group on overcoming threats in the energy sector was held at the Staff of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine
A regular meeting of the working group on overcoming threats in the energy sector was held at the Staff of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The conditions for introducing and utilizing renewable energy sources in the United Energy System (UES) of Ukraine were discussed.
Representatives of ministries and agencies, specialists of the Staff of the NSDC of Ukraine.
Opening the meeting, Chairman of the Working Group, President of the Ukrainian National Committee CIGRE, Honored Power Engineer of Ukraine Oleksandr Svetelik stressed the importance of introducing new rules of the domestic energy market that would meet European standards, promote renewable energy and increase responsibility for power imbalance in the power system.
Director General of "NTK ENPASELECTRO" LLC, Vice President, Chairman of the Technical Committee of the CIGRE National Committee Yuriy Bondarenko analyzed the challenges and major trends in the development of world energy given the introduction of new technologies.
He proposed, in particular, to establish in Ukraine a coordination center to develop the concept for developing the electric power industry based on innovative technologies, as well as working groups to develop technical requirements for the introduction of new technologies. According to Mr. Bondarenko, given the rapid growth of the distributive renewable generation, it is necessary to implement new solutions to ensure the regulation of the domestic power system.
The participants of the meeting discussed the ways to stimulate the development of storage capacity (speaker – Olga Babiy, a member of the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities).
The participants of the meeting also paid attention to the issues of forecasting the production of electricity by renewable energy sources (RES) and the implementation of BESS systems (battery energy storage systems) using smart grid technologies. Relevant reports were presented by Doctor of technical sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Power Plants and Systems of Vinnytsia National Technical University Petro Lezhniuk and Chairman of the Board of Global 100% RE Ukraine, President of MHP Eco Energy Oleksandr Dombrovsky.
The participants of the meeting through Skype conference got acquainted with the experience of forecasting electricity generation and control of RES operation modes on the example of the European Spanish power system control center.
As previously reported, the President of Ukraine by Decree of May 29, 2020, № 206 approved the Regulations on the Council of Experts on Energy Security at the NSDC of Ukraine (Chairman of the Council is Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov).
The NSDC Secretary has repeatedly stressed the need to take urgent decisions to balance the electricity market, prevent manipulation, and protect the citizens' interests.

Happy FriYay! I hope you all had an amazing week so far? I have had a pretty exciting week myself. One of my close friends is visiting from Nigeria, so it has been great hanging out and catching up with a very familiar face. Apart from playing catch up, I have been living in Red boots, like I said I would! LOL. In the last 2 weeks, I have found every opportunity to wear my red boots.
I had previously blogged about the Top shop Over The Knee (OTK) and Steve Madden pairs of Red Boot from my fall shopping haul, in the last few posts (check them out if you missed it). For today's look, I paired the Steve Madden Suede boots with a white shirt dress and a Camo Parka Jacket. I love the Camo Print, and tend to invest in Camo pieces when I can. I usually tend to style them with bright colors such as red, yellow, or orange, or with other prints such as Leopard and Stripes. You can also get 25% off and free shipping at SteveMadden.com with code BFF.
I am sooo glad it is the weekend y'all. I plan to go to the movies, and see Thor: Ragnarok, and probably just catch up on a few TV shows.
I appreciate your thoughts and comments as always. Thank you so much for stopping by.

The Beatitudes read like a list of sacred paradoxes. The Lord began His Sermon on the Mount with a series of seemingly incongruous promises. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:3-4). Taken at face value, they don't make sense.
But that apparent dissonance is by design, as Christ boldly confronted the assumptions of the world and the religious rhetoric of His day. As we saw last time, the point of Christ's message was to prompt us to self-examination—to show us the true measure of faith by contrasting it against the emptiness of self-righteousness and legalism.
In short, He's contrasting pharisaical works-righteousness with true spiritual righteousness. He's not interested in the outer man until the inner man has been thoroughly dealt with. And that's apparent from His first words.
Why does Christ begin with the poor in spirit? He's talking about a new standard, a new way to live, so why begin here? What makes this the source of happiness? Well, because it is the fundamental characteristic of a Christian. Becoming poor in spirit is the very first thing that must happen in the life of anybody who ever enters God's kingdom. Nobody ever entered on the basis of pride. The doorway is very low, and only people who crawl can come in. . . .
God gives grace to the humble. That's why a poor spirit has to be at the very beginning. The only way to come to God is to confess unrighteousness, confess inability to meet God's standards, confess that you can't do it. You enter with a sense of helplessness and desperation to receive divine blessing, and you maintain that sense in order to know continual happiness as you live in Christ.  John MacArthur, The Only Way to Happiness (Chicago: Moody Publishers, 1998), 57-58.
Christ's point is clear: A life of blessing and happiness starts with understanding the true wretchedness of your soul and your utter inability to do anything about it. Until we recognize the true poverty of our spiritual state—as long as we hold onto the notion that we can manufacture our own righteousness—there's nothing God can do for us. The first step to accessing His blessing is to acknowledge you can do nothing for yourself.
Blessed are those whose spirit is destitute. Blessed are the spiritual paupers, the spiritually empty, the spiritually bankrupt who cringe in a corner and cry out to God for mercy. They are the happy ones. Why? Because they are the only ones who tap the real resource for happiness. They are the only ones who ever know God. Theirs is the kingdom—then and there, here and now.
This truth is not just in the Sermon on the Mount. James wrote, "Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you" (4:10). This is not a poverty against which the will rebels, but rather it is a poverty under which the will bows in deep dependence and submission. This is a rather unpopular doctrine in the church today. We emphasize celebrities and experts and superstars and rich, famous Christians. But happiness is for the humble.  The Only Way to Happiness, 60.
The classic example is the confession of the publican in Luke 18:13, "But the tax collector . . . was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'" As Christ explained, "Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted" (Luke 18:14).
The kingdom, as I see it, is grace and glory. Grace now, glory later. We possess the kingdom. It is ours—the rule of Christ, the reign of Christ in our lives. Do you know what that means? We are His subjects; He takes care of us. He gives us what we need. He fulfills every need of our hearts. That's the result of being poor in spirit.  The Only Way to Happiness, 66.
The poor spirit understands its limitations—it's desperate for a redemption it cannot conjure on its own. And in God's grace and mercy, it finds restoration, fulfillment, and favor in His eternal care.
Inward spiritual poverty has a natural outward extension, and Christ identifies it in His second Beatitude: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).
We must not take that as a blanket blessing for anyone who ever mourns about anything. Christ is not referring to general sorrow—the normal weeping and mourning that accompany loss and heartache common to every man. Nor is he talking about petulant sorrow—the selfish kind of sadness attached to not getting our way.
The apostle Paul helps us understand this sorrow in 2 Corinthians 7:10, "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." You can cry your eyes out about your problems, and you can weep all you want about loneliness and about discouragement and about disappointment and out of earnest love. . . . When it's all said and done, none of that worldly sorrow will bring you life.
Only one kind of sorrow brings life, and that is godly sorrow, which leads you to repentance. Therefore, we can conclude that Jesus is referring in this Beatitude to sorrow over sin. . . . Godly sorrow is linked to repentance, and repentance is linked to sin. This kind of mourning means being sorry because you're a sinner.
The Beatitudes began by referring to spiritual bankruptcy and knowing it. That is the intellectual part. Verse 4 is the emotional part. Because you know you are spiritually bankrupt, your emotion takes over, and you mourn that bankruptcy. Such are kingdom people. Poor in spirit is a recognition that we have nothing and that we are nothing and that we can do nothing, and it results in our being a beggar who has no resource, no capacity to help himself.  The Only Way to Happiness, 76-77.
Put simply, Christ promises to bless those who are truly grieved over their sin. What He's describing here is an essential element in repentance. There is no salvation apart from repentance, and no repentance apart from grief over the presence and power of sin in our lives.
There's no greater message I can think of for the church today than for it to start crying instead of laughing. It grieves my heart to see the frivolity and the foolishness that goes on in the name of Christianity. Nobody ever came into the kingdom of God who did not mourn over his own sinfulness. You cannot verify that you are a true Christian unless throughout your life there is the same sense of grief over the sin in your life.  The Only Way to Happiness, 80.
If you don't take your sin seriously—if it doesn't grieve you to your core—then you have good reason to doubt the authenticity of your faith. There's no assurance for those who take an apathetic, indifferent, or lackadaisical view of sin. And as that attitude permeates the church, God's people lose their ability to be salt and light to a world still caught in sin's clutches.
If we want to be blessed—or see others blessed—we need to heed Christ's words in Matthew 5:4. He didn't offer comfort to those who were vaguely bummed or temporarily disappointed about their sin. As John MacArthur explains, the Lord only promised comfort to those who first mourned their sin.
The emphatic pronoun autoi is used here, which emphasizes "blessed are they who continue to mourn, for they alone shall be comforted." Only the mourners know the comfort of God. Only those who mourn their sin know what it is to have their tears dried by the loving hand of Jesus Christ.  The Only Way to Happiness, 84.

In the next few minutes I will show you how easy it is to turn a simple sentence into a professional sentence. And then creepy kid (who for some reason has a female voice even though it looks like a boy to me) proceeds to transform the perfectly normal sentence "I admire your work" into the mutant "I greatly appreciate your complicated work". This miracle is performed by WhiteSmoke, a revolutionary new language enrichment tool .
Sorry, I don't admire your work. Or should that be I'm afraid I strongly disapprove your ingenious work?

Unique peptide could treat cancers, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases
DALLAS - Feb. 7, 2013 - UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have synthesized a peptide that shows potential for pharmaceutical development into agents for treating infections, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer through an ability to induce a cell-recycling process called autophagy.
Autophagy is a fundamental recycling process in which intracellular enzymes digest unneeded and broken parts of the cell into their individual building blocks, which are then reassembled into new parts. The role of autophagy is crucial both in keeping cells healthy and in enabling them to fight different diseases. Physician scientists in UT Southwestern's Center for Autophagy Research are deciphering how to manipulate the autophagy process in an effort to disrupt the progression of disease and promote health.
In their latest findings reported online in the journal Nature, Center researchers were able to synthesize a peptide called Tat-beclin 1, which induces the autophagy process. Mice treated with Tat-beclin-1 were resistant to several infectious diseases, including West Nile virus and another mosquito-borne virus called chikungunya that is common to Asia, Africa, and India. In additional experiments, the team demonstrated that human cells treated with the peptide were resistant to HIV infection in a laboratory setting.
"Because autophagy plays such a crucial role in regulating disease, autophagy-inducing agents such as the Tat-beclin 1 peptide may have potential for pharmaceutical development and the subsequent prevention and treatment of a broad range of human diseases," said Dr. Beth Levine, Director of the Center for Autophagy Research and senior author of the study. Dr. Levine, Professor of Internal Medicine and Microbiology, is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at UT Southwestern.
Disruption of the autophagy process is implicated in a wide variety of conditions including aging, and diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and infectious diseases such as those caused by West Nile and HIV viruses.
UT Southwestern has applied for a patent on Tat-beclin-1. Peptides are strings of amino acids found in proteins. The Tat-beclin 1 peptide was derived from sequences in beclin 1, one of the first known proteins in mammals found to be essential for autophagy, a finding that was made by Dr. Levine's laboratory. Her research has since demonstrated that defects in beclin 1 contribute to many types of disease. Conversely, beclin 1 activity and the autophagy pathway appear to be important for protection against breast, lung, and ovarian cancers, as well as for fighting off viral and bacterial infections, and for protecting individuals from neurodegenerative diseases and aging.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the HHMI, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research-Earth and Life Sciences Open Program, Cancer Research United Kingdom, and a Robert A. Welch Foundation Award.
Other UT Southwestern scientists involved include Dr. Sanae Shoji-Kawata, first author and former postdoctoral researcher now in Japan; Dr. Rhea Sumpter Jr., an instructor of internal medicine and member of the autophagy center; Dr. Matthew Leveno, assistant professor of internal medicine and autophagy center member; Dr. Carlos Huerta, former postdoctoral researcher of biochemistry now at Reata Pharmaceuticals; Dr. Nick Grishin, professor of biochemistry and HHMI investigator; Dr. Lisa Kinch, bioinformatics scientist; Zhongju Zou, research specialist; and Quhua Sun, computational biologist.
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego; Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego; Baylor College of Medicine in Houston; Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis; Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands; Cancer Research UK, London; Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School; the Broad Institute of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; the HHMI; and University of California, Berkeley, also participated in the study.

Do you feel awkward or uncomfortable in social situations? Perhaps you feel like an outsider? Or maybe you compare yourself to others, and feel less attractive or not as smart?
Many people come to my Toronto counselling office because of social discomfort. They find it hard to relax and be themselves around other people. They may feel like they need to perform in order to be liked. Or worse, their mind goes blank when they try to make conversation. This can be painful and embarrassing.
·	First, I will listen closely and without judgment to your experience in social situations.
·	Together, we will identify the triggers for your discomfort and look for strategies to counteract them.
·	The bad feelings you get about yourself in social situations come from the past. And this is where we need to look to begin to undo them. Negative and false beliefs about ourselves get ingrained when we are kids. Together, we will examine these beliefs to understand them better.
·	Many people with social discomfort insist they had a wonderful childhood. They describe their childhood home as peaceful and harmonious, or fun and active. But this doesn't mean it gave you what you needed to feel good about yourself.
·	Together, we will take a closer look at your history. Sometimes, parents are troubled with money problems, marital issues, illness, substance abuse or difficulties in their own families of origin. They can also be overly preoccupied with other things, like work. These can take away from the attention and encouragement that kids need to develop a strong sense of self-worth or self-esteem.
·	If your sense of self-worth is fragile, social situations can make you feel vulnerable. This is because, on a deep level, groups of people remind us of family. And family is where negative beliefs about ourselves developed.
·	I will help you repair your relationship with yourself by identifying and clearing out negative self-beliefs. You will then be able to relax and feel good about yourself in social situations.


Three days of amazing Indian culture wrapped into one trailer. After seeing much of our previous South Asian cinematic wedding film work, Rutvi and Milan contacted us. They loved our style and the way we captured the beautiful Indian wedding traditions.
On the first night, their Mehendi celebration and musical event took place at the Waterford Banquet and Conference Center in Elmhurst, Illinois, where we are one of their preferred vendors for wedding videography. Their beautiful Moroccan-themed room, was designed by Dream Occasions in Hanover Park, Illinois. On the second day, they had their Garba/Raas celebration. The third day culminated in a beautiful wedding ceremony, which was also at the Waterford Banquet and Conference Center.
We frequently see couples exchanging cards or gifts in the morning, but we haven't seen it done with an iPad. One of Rutvi's wedding gifts to Milan was an iPad. In the iPad, she typed a beautiful note to Milan. We captured a portion of that letter in this trailer. Rutvi also came up with the idea to do a first look (in front of the mandap). For the first time on their wedding day, Rutvi and Milan were able to see each other. It was a beautiful moment we were able to capture.
Rutvi and Milan also came to us with the idea of creating a concept film about their first date, which was shown at their reception. This film, which was entirely scripted by the couple, is a hilarious look at how that day went. The film continues to include engagement pictures of them together, which were taken by Kyle Flubacker, and what it might look like for their future. Enjoy!

Allie Marie Evans
Meet Allie Marie Evans: America's vlogging sweetheart
By Ella Alexander
Allie Marie Evans is the little sister that you don't have, but you wish you did. She's an excitable, energetic, self-deprecating 19-year-old, but she wields more influence than most pop stars - she has 246,096 subscribers to her YouTube vlog and 44,400 Twitter followers.
When she shows up to vlogging conventions and events now, Evans is greeted by shaking, wildly enthusiastic fans who have grown to love her fashion and lifestyle vlogs. Like many of her vlogging peers, like Zoella and Tanya Burr, Evans is open about her own worries and insecurities, making it easy to fall for her charm. She's also innately positive and that sunny side-up approach is difficult not to fall for.
"When I meet these girls and sometimes boys at events, and they're having panic attacks I want to tell them, 'Guys, I'm not that cool,'" she laughs. "It made me uncomfortable at first, but I love meeting the people who have made my dreams come true. It can be terrifying at conventions though when you have crowds of people screaming at you."
Allie Marie Evans: How to start a vlog
The US vlogger writes about what it takes to create a YouTube platform
However, Evans has taken it all in her stride. Since launching her vlog four years ago, she has begun working with Maybelline and filming during New York Fashion Week.
"The most popular films are the motivational videos," she told GLAMOUR. "My viewers like life advice. They're teenage girls trying to figure it all out and hopefully they can learn from my mistakes."
It's difficult to work out what these mistakes might be, but Evans assures us she didn't find it easy moving from her native Canada to the US West Coast when she in her mid-teens.
"Sometimes when I look back on how I acted and what I wore, I think no wonder I had a hard time making friends," she jokes. "When I first meet people I'm very shy and socially awkward."
Not that you know that by watching her vlog, in which she endearingly chat about whatever's on her mind. She started out her career as a model but decided she wanted to have more say in the creative process. In a video posted last year, she said that modelling made her feel inadequate and was about "being a hanger wearing clothes".
"I'm a control freak," she said. "I wanted to be doing the shooting and filming, not just posing. Fashion and beauty was the first thing I thought of because that's what everyone was doing. It's also something I love, but then I worked out that my viewers are more interested in me than fashion, which was weird. So I merged both."
She puts the growing popularity of vlogging to her generation's obsession with fame.
"It's an attainable goal to vlog," she said. "People my age are fascinated by fame so it's an attractive ideal. It's not an easy as it might look though."
Although she's perfectly busy at the moment, Evans has big goals for the future.
"I think there will be a natural progression to directing," she said. "I want to direct, write and produce. There's only so much you can do with a tripod and camera, you know."

Elizabeth Warren's pitch for 2020
Published on: Oct 11, 2019fb-roundtwitter-roundemail-round
Editor's note: This article was updated on Feb. 13, 2020.
A longtime critic of President Trump, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is here to try to flip the White House for the Dems.
The Resume
Senator since 2013, and former Harvard law professor who laid the groundwork for what became the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She has a reputation for putting a lot of pressure on the financial industry for the way it does business.
Even if you don't know her, you've probably heard about the controversy around her ancestry. For years, she's claimed Native American heritage and identified as a minority. Then President Trump challenged her to prove her ancestry – and has repeatedly referred to her as "Pocahontas." She got a DNA test to try to prove her Native American background. The test indicated she had a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations. People called the move tone-deaf and she later apologized. As part of her run for president, she's released a plan focused on addressing tribal rights and concerns including land access, infrastructure problems, and violence against indigenous women.
Another elephant in the room: how she'll pay for all the plans she keeps dropping. The US Chamber of Commerce has labeled at least one plan to raise taxes unconstitutional. Meanwhile, the American Bar Association thinks her proposed wealth tax is good to go. That's one thing she says will help pay for her universal health care plan. She's gotten heat from people skeptical that the she'd have the money to pay for the plan or that it has a realistic shot at passing in Congress.
At the top of Warren's to-do list: passing legislation aimed at cracking down on corruption in DC. Think: banning members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists and requiring anyone running for federal office to make their tax returns public.
And although she took her time before releasing a health care plan, she's pledged to offer a public health insurance option within her first 100 days. It would be free for children and lower-income families, and others can pay to opt in. Eventually, she would phase out much of the private insurance market and make national health insurance free (read: funded in large part through taxes) for everyone.
The 2020 Policies
On abortion...she supports abortion rights. And wants Congress to pass federal laws that protect women's access to reproductive care (like birth control and abortions).
On climate change…she's embraced a climate change plan to eliminate greenhouse emissions from power plants, cars, and buildings over 10 years. The plan would cost $3 trillion, and Warren says it would be fully paid for by reversing tax cuts passed in 2017. Warren also endorses the Green New Deal. Part of her plan includes investing $2 trillion in research and manufacturing of clean energy technology to fight climate change while boosting the economy and creating jobs.
On the economy…she wants to invest in housing to bring down rents by 10% while also creating 1.5 million new jobs and start closing the racial wealth gap. Ambitious. She also has what she calls her ultra-millionaire tax: it will target the richest 0.1% of Americans to raise nearly $3 trillion that can be used to "rebuild the middle class." She's also proposing to break up Google, Facebook and Amazon, and to ban companies with over $25 billion in revenue "to act as operators and users of a platform." She also wants to have regulators review already-closed mergers – like the Bayer-Monsanto merger. Oh, and she wants to give workers a boost by doing things like expanding the right to unionize and upping the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
On education…she wants free (read: taxpayer-funded) public college for everyone. She's pitching the cancellation of up to $50,000 in student loan debt for American families who make less than $100,000 a year. She wants universal child care from birth to school age – free to families that make less than 200% of the federal poverty line and what she describes as affordable for everyone else. (She has a calculator for you to figure out how much it would cost you.)
On guns…she has a plan that she hopes will reduce gun deaths by 80%. That includes requiring background checks at gun shows, banning assault weapons, and establishing a one-week waiting period for all gun purchases. She also wants to investigate the NRA for corruption. And has joined other lawmakers in calling for a redo of a federal investigation into the danger guns pose for children and schools.
On health care...three words: Medicare. For. All. The phrase you'll be hearing her say over and over again? 'Not one penny.' That's how little the middle class will be taxed for her health care plan, which she says will cost $20.5 trillion over a decade. Warren also plans to reduce drug costs, undo Trump admin policies (like ending the Medicaid work requirements), and address the maternal mortality crisis.
On immigration…she also has a plan for that. It includes getting rid of criminal penalties for illegal border crossings, instead making it a civil offense; banning for-profit detention centers; raising the refugee cap (which the Trump admin lowered) to 125,000 refugees in her first year in office; and establishing a Justice Dept task force to investigate alleged mistreatment of migrants by the Trump admin.
On national security...she'd bring US troops home and reduce defense spending. Plus rejoin the Iran nuclear deal. She also wants tech companies to crack down on extremist content on their platforms to reduce the threat from white nationalism.
On social justice...first up, she'd work to pass the Equality Act that she co-sponsored. If passed, it would ban discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community when it comes to things like jobs, housing, education, and public spaces. She also wants to legalize marijuana and end the cash bail system.
Warren's approach to the 2020 campaign has been to introduce a slew of policies. Some see it as a pragmatic approach to governance. Others see it as radical and unrealistic. Either way, she's been falling behind as her rivals surge ahead.

2020 Democratic primary debates: How to watch and what to know
Polish off your best zingers. It's debate season for the 2020 Democratic primary.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wants to be president in 2020. To get there, he's focused on the big issues. Think: healthcare, student loans, the environment, and minimum wage.
Politicians love a good buzzword. We're breaking down the ones you'll be hearing a lot about.


A 1988 Iowa State University poll showed that four of the nine top agricultural issues that concern farmers deal with the hazards of using farm chemicals. So the question is not whether producers are concerned about pesticides. The question is how to work these concerns into the pesticide selection process.
Researchers are trying to come up with systematic ways to add environment to the equation and help producers select the least-toxic products. One of the most complete sets of ideas comes from Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska, where researchers have developed environmental economic injury levels.
To create economic injury levels that consider the environment, researchers surveyed 8,000 field crop producers in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio, asking them to rank how concerned they were about each of eight environmental categories. They also asked producers how much they would be willing to spend or accept in yield losses to avoid different levels of risk from an insecticide application.
Next, the Nebraska and Iowa researchers identified how much risk various insecticides pose in the eight environmental categories. Using all of this information, they calculated the environmental cost of using each insecticide and incorporated it into the economic threshold. By adding environmental costs into the economic threshold equation, you accept more crop loss before you begin chemical control of pests.

"I was subjected to physical violence several times a day, but psychological one was more intense. The investigators managed it better:" life-sentenced prisoner

ԷմիլՉիվչյան
"16 years ago I was foolish … naïve … probably more self-confident, than now, because at the time I was thinking, how can an innocent person be judged? I thought, it did not even matter that I was forced to say 'I did': there is a court that will prove my innocence. I was naïve… "
We met with 34-year-old Emil Chivchyan at Armavir Penitentiary. In his words, he used to read a lot, but now he is unable to cope with visual problems; instead, he develops human contacts.
"Human interaction and the environment connect you with reality, the books keep you romantic."
In August 2003, junior sergeant Arman Davtyan and brothers Levon and Hamlet Barseghyans were shot dead in the military unit N of the Vanadzor region. Two men were charged with murder, one of whom was the 18-year-old Emil Chivchyan, an ordinary soldier, who at that time was only a 40-day recruit.
"They would say:" Regardless if you accept or reject it [your guilt], you can consider yourself imprisoned "
"Every day after the incident, some people from the Prosecutor's Office were coming and going, bringing new people. In an ordinary morning, they came and took me away, saying that I have had some money issues with Arman Davtyan, that's why I killed him, and I killed the two brothers to hide my murder. And what happened? It seems like a movie began … They took me out of my sleeping room and brought and sentenced to life imprisonment," said Emil, whose hands are still shaking when he tells us about the incident that occurred years ago.
The preliminary investigative body ignored the testimony of 27 witnesses that, at the time of the incident, Chivchyan was sleeping; instead they managed to extract the desired testimony through physical and psychological pressure. It was under the influence of these pressures that Emil confessed "the crime he did not commit:"
"Several times a day I was subjected to physical violence, but psychological one was more intense. Investigators, more specifically, investigators Khachik Ghaltakhchyan and Armen Hakobyan, were very good at it. They would say, "Accept your guilt or not, you can count yourself already convicted." They took advantage of my inexperience and foolishness. "
There were great controversies between Emil's testimony and the expert conclusions. "A help came" from a person the identity of whose Emil tried to not disclose to Forrights. According to him, the desirable testimony was obtained through "inhuman" beatings and even shootings under his feet. Emil does not blame him: regardless of who he was, he would surely sign any papers provided by the investigators.
"The "motivation" was allegedly $50, which I gave to Arman Davtyan. And, according to them, I would have killed a man for that trivial sum. I and the killed persons were close acquaintances, we were from the same neighborhood, had common friends and relatives. I told them, I proved it was not me who killed them, but they did not believe … Up to today, I do not know who the killer was: if I knew what the motive was, perhaps, I would have guessed who it was. "
The military prosecutor of that time Gagik Jhangiryan visited Emily only once. The latter brought a knife to Emil and stated that he had held that knife on someone so that that person did not tell anyone about the murder committed by him. Then, seeing that the knife does not fit in any way in the case, he "lost" it.
A few months later the trial phase began, presided over by judge Elizaveta Danielyan…
The father of the killed soldier stated in the court that he believed in Emil's innocence
"We could not do anything in the court. We were just providing physical presence during the court sessions. All our petitions were rejected, instead, any petition of the prosecutor's office was accepted. We even wanted to invite a witness, but could not manage to organize it. They could at least have pretended they wanted to hear us … "
The father of the killed soldier Arman Davtyan, in one of the court sessions, declared he believed in Chivchyan's innocence. He asked Emil to announce the names of the guilty ones in his son's death:
"He said, 'boy, we know that you did not do it, you are innocent, at least tell us who has done so that we can do something'. But I did not know who did it, what would I say? "
The trial phase lasted only a few months. It is noteworthy that the last sessions were not held in the court: the prosecutor read his accusatory speech on some distance from the scene of the murder, and the verdict was read at the officer's home.
Emil Chivchyan and the other defendant Arman Hovsepyan were sentenced to life imprisonment. A few days later, the investigative body destroyed the evidence that went through the case, and the scene of the incident was demolished.
"Aghvan Hovsepyan came and said, find out who did it, I will justify you."
To date, Emil states that his conviction was not a result of an error, but a directive.
"It was a way of hiding the real culprit. They were specifically instructed from above. Well, the Military Prosecutor's Office has always played the role of human meat grinder. At the time, when the prosecutor was Gagik Jhangiryan, he had definitely played that role. No age, no psychological state were taken into account… nothing. "
"I have no demand from anyone, just — justice. I'm sure it will come, but … it is being delayed too much."
Today Emil continues to fight for his share of justice. Months ago, he reported a crime, in which he presented the fact of his torture by investigators years ago. 5 days ago Chivchyan was recognized as a victim.
Several days ago, Chivchyan took advantage of the RA Law on Making Amendments and Addenda to the Penitentiary Code of the Republic of Armenia and applied for the passage of the sentence from the closed penitentiary regime to a semi-closed one. There is still no answer yet but he waits with hope. The convict has been married during the years of imprisonment. He mentions that, although it will not be possible to returned the lost years, at least he will reach justice.

I've been busy this week at my desk doing Faculties, but I managed to get out into my studio this afternoon. I've made a start on Fingringhoe Wick: November, wielding a palette knife to slide in a smooth cloudless sky with a varied mix of Cobalt Blue Deep and Titanium White. This is very unusual for my paintings, as I usually use Indanthrene Blue and Cerulean Blue Chromium mixed with Titanium White. But the cloudless Autumn sky just called for Cobalt!
Painting number 11 of this year's painting project – and it only seems a couple of months since I started! But I have been giving a bit of thought to how my book, 'A Year on Fingringhoe Wick,' is going to go together once I've finished all twelve paintings. And I've also been planning out my 2018 painting project, poring over Ordnance Survey maps and making lists. I'm really excited about the next one, and can't wait to share it and get started.
