A Room With a View is the story of Lucy Honeychurch, a young Edwardian woman on holiday in Florence with her overbearing older cousin. While there, Lucy falls in love with an Englishman named George Emerson and the two rapidly begin growing closer. The novel is mainly concerned with the restrictions placed on young women by Edwardian society, a set of social rules exemplified by Lucy's hotel room with its beautiful view and the constant presence of her nosy and oppressive cousin.
The first part of the novel is set in Florence, Italy, and describes a young English woman's first visit to Florence, at a time when upper middle class English women were starting to lead independent, adventurous lives. Lucy Honeychurch is touring Italy with her overbearing older cousin and chaperone, Charlotte Bartlett, and the novel opens with their complaints about the hotel, "The Pension Bertolini." Their primary concern is that although rooms with a view of the River Arno have been promised for each of them, their rooms instead look over a courtyard. A Mr. Emerson interrupts their "peevish wrangling," offering to swap rooms as he and his son, George Emerson, look over the Arno. This behaviour causes Miss Bartlett some consternation, as it appears impolite. Without letting Lucy speak, Miss Bartlett refuses the offer, looking down on the Emersons because of their unconventional behaviour and thinking it would place her under an "unseemly obligation" towards them. However, another guest at the pension, an Anglican clergyman named Mr. Beebe, persuades the pair to accept the offer, assuring Miss Bartlett that Mr. Emerson only meant to be kind.
The next day, while Charlotte rests in the pension, Lucy decides to spend a "long morning" in the Basilica of Santa Croce, led by another guest, Miss Eleanor Lavish, a novelist who promises her an adventure. The older woman immediately takes away Lucy's Baedeker guidebook, which, she says, only touches the surface of things. She will show Lucy the "true Italy." But on the way to Santa Croce, chattering away, the two take a wrong turn and get lost. After drifting for hours through various streets and piazzas, they finally make it back to the square in front of the church only to have the novelist abandon Lucy in pursuit of an old man who, she says, is her "local colour box." Inside the church, Lucy meets the Emersons again. Although their manners are awkward and they are deemed socially unacceptable by the other guests, Lucy likes them and continues to run into them in Florence. One afternoon Lucy witnesses a murder in Florence. George Emerson happens to be nearby and catches her when she faints. Lucy asks George to retrieve some photographs of hers that happen to be near the murder site. George, out of confusion, throws her photographs into the river because they were spotted with blood. Lucy observes how boyish George is. As they stop to look over the River Arno before making their way back to the hotel, they have an intimate conversation. After this, Lucy decides to avoid George, partly because she is confused by her feelings and partly to keep her cousin happy—Miss Bartlett is wary of the eccentric Emersons, particularly after a comment made by another clergyman, Mr. Eager, that Mr. Emerson "murdered his wife in the sight of God." Later on in the week, a party made up of Beebe, Eager, the Emersons, Miss Lavish, Miss Bartlett and Lucy Honeychurch make their way to Fiesole, in carriages driven by Italians. The driver is permitted to invite a woman he claims is his sister onto the box of the carriage, and when he kisses her, Mr. Eager promptly forces the lady to get off the carriage box. Mr. Emerson remarks how it is defeat rather than victory to part two people in love. In the fields, Lucy searches for Mr. Beebe, and asks in poor Italian for the driver to show her the way. Misunderstanding, he leads her to a field where George stands. George is overcome by Lucy's beauty among a field of violets and kisses her, but they are interrupted by Lucy's cousin, who is outraged. Lucy promises Miss Bartlett that she will not tell her mother of the "insult" George has paid her because Miss Bartlett fears she will be blamed. The two women leave for Rome the next day before Lucy is able to say goodbye to George.
In Rome, Lucy spends time with Cecil Vyse, whom she knew in England. Cecil proposes to Lucy twice in Italy; she rejects him both times. As Part Two begins, Lucy has returned to Surrey, England to her family home, Windy Corner. Cecil proposes yet again at Windy Corner, and this time she accepts. Cecil is a sophisticated and "superior" Londoner who is desirable in terms of rank and class, even though he despises country society; he is also somewhat of a comic figure in the novel, as he gives himself airs and is quite pretentious.
The vicar, Mr. Beebe, announces that new tenants have leased a local cottage; the new arrivals turn out to be the Emersons, who have been told of the available cottage at a chance meeting with Cecil; the young man brought them to the village as a comeuppance to the cottage's landlord, whom Cecil thinks to be a snob. Fate takes an ironic turn as Lucy's brother, Freddy, meets George and invites him to bathe in a nearby pond. Freddy, George and Mr Beebe go to the pond, in the woods, take off their clothes and swim. They enjoy themselves so much they end up running around the pond and through the bushes, until Lucy, her mother, and Cecil arrive, having taken a short-cut through the woods. Freddy later invites George to play tennis at Windy Corner. Although Lucy is initially mortified at the thought of facing both George and Cecil (who is also visiting Windy Corner that Sunday), she resolves to be gracious. Cecil annoys everyone by pacing around and reading aloud from a light romance novel that contains a scene suspiciously reminiscent of when George kissed Lucy in Florence. George catches Lucy alone in the garden and kisses her again. Lucy realises that the novel is by Miss Lavish (the writer-acquaintance from Florence) and that Charlotte must thus have told her about the kiss.
Furious with Charlotte for betraying her secret, Lucy forces her cousin to watch as she tells George to leave and never return. George argues with her, saying that Cecil only sees her as an "object for the shelf" and will never love her enough to grant her independence, while George loves her for who she is. Lucy is moved but remains firm. Later that evening, after Cecil again rudely declines to play tennis, Lucy sours on Cecil and immediately breaks off her engagement. She decides to flee to Greece with acquaintances from her trip to Florence, but shortly before her departure she accidentally encounters Mr. Emerson senior. He is not aware that Lucy has broken her engagement with Cecil, and Lucy cannot lie to the old man. Mr. Emerson forces Lucy to admit out loud that she has been in love with his son George all along.
The novel ends in Florence, in melodramatic fashion, where George and Lucy have eloped without her mother's consent. Although Lucy "had alienated Windy Corner, perhaps for ever," the story ends with the promise of lifelong love for both her and George.
In some editions, an appendix to the novel is given entitled "A View without a Room," written by Forster in 1958 as to what occurred between Lucy and George after the events of the novel. It is Forster's afterthought of the novel, and he quite clearly states that "I cannot think where George and Lucy live." They were quite comfortable up until the end of World War I, with Charlotte Bartlett leaving them all her money in her will, but the war ruined their happiness according to Forster. George became a conscientious objector, lost his government job but was given non-combatant duties to avoid prison, leaving Mrs Honeychurch deeply upset with her son-in-law. Mr Emerson died during the course of the war, shortly after having an argument with the police about Lucy continuing to play Beethoven (a German composer) on the piano during the war. Eventually they had three children, two girls and a boy, and moved to Carshalton from Highgate to find a home. Despite their wanting to move into Windy Corner after the death of Mrs Honeychurch, Freddy sold the house to support his family as he was "an unsuccessful but prolific doctor."
After the outbreak of World War II, George immediately enlisted as he saw the need to stop Hitler and the Nazi regime, but was not faithful to Lucy during his time at war. Lucy was left homeless after her flat in Watford was bombed and the same happened to her married daughter in Nuneaton. George rose to the rank of corporal but was taken prisoner by the Italians in Africa. Once the Fascist government in Italy fell, George returned to Florence finding it "in a mess" but he was unable to find the Pension Bertolini, stating "the View was still there and that the room must be there, too, but could not be found." Forster ends by stating that George and Lucy await World War III, but with no word on where they live, for even he does not know.

2020 Toyota Fortuner Release date, Specs, Redesign, and Price. These days, you can find various kinds of reports on the network. Many of them are about the 2020 Toyota Fortuner. The capable off-roader has been around for years and the latest rumors suggest its arrival in North America. The reason for such rumors is simple. The current 4Runner is more than 10 years old and Japanese manufacturer definitely needs something more up to date, mainly because of poor fuel economy and overall efficiency that characterized the 2020 4Runner. Still, keep in mind that this is just a rumor and that probably won't happen at all.
This would be a tricky part, definitely. Considering that the current version is sold around the world, it mainly comes with diesel engines. The North American version would definitely get a new powertrain. Adding same thirsty engines from the 4Runner makes no point, so we are pretty sure that the 2020 Toyota Fortuner would come with a familiar 3.5-liter V6, the same one that powers Tacoma pickup truck, which is good for about 275 horsepower. It wouldn't be a surprise to see a diesel version too. In this case, it would be a familiar 2.8-liter turbodiesel with around 180 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque.
Transmission6-Speed Automatic with Sequential Control.
PRICE RANGE: $41,590 starting msrp, $45,220 dealers.
It may sound unrealistic, but there are actually many good reasons to believe that 2020 Toyota Fortuner would be successful in the U.S. market. Of all, this SUV is based on the world's most iconic truck, Toyota Hilux. Even this is enough to count on spectacular reliability and off-road performances. Of course, its arrival in North America would probably demand a few visual modifications. This refers primarily to the front end, which would get a more attractive layout, with new grille, bumpers, headlights etc. On the other side, mechanics would probably remain untouched, of course, if we don't count new engine options.
The Fortuner is a mid-size SUV. It offers a spacious cabin, with three rows of seating. Two rows are quite spacious, while the third one is cramped, which is a common thing for the class. The dashboard features great quality. It is durable and built to last for ages. It lacks refinement, something that the U.S. market would demand. The possible arrival in North America would probably mean a lot of work on the inside. This would mean a new dashboard design, with a little bit more style and finer, soft-touch materials. More standard equipment would be another certain thing.
The 2020 Toyota Fortuner probably won't come to North America. On the other side, the version that is available around the world probably won't feature any bigger changes. Still, if it ever arrives at the U.S. market, it would probably feature starting price around $40,000.

Texas Republicans Duck Trump's Fire on NAFTA
by Kirby Wilson Aug. 9, 2016 12:01 AM
By Kirby Wilson, The Texas Tribune Aug. 9, 2016
"Texas Republicans Duck Trump's Fire on NAFTA" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
Caught between the anti-globalist tirades of their presidential standard bearer and their state's close trade ties with Mexico, Texas congressional Republicans are straddling a tricky political line when it comes to talk of renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Republican nominee Donald Trump called NAFTA a "disaster" and backed renegotiating the pact in a policy speech in Detroit on Monday. Barring a better deal, he said, the United States should withdraw from the 22-year-old agreement that lowered trade barriers between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Texas grassroots conservatives also want to abandon the deal. The Republican Party of Texas' 2016 platform demands "immediate withdrawal from the North American Free Trade Agreement."
But when The Texas Tribune reached out to each of the 27 Republican members of the Texas congressional delegation, not one joined in Trump's call for renegotiating the treaty. None agreed to be interviewed, three responded with written statements and the others either did not respond or declined to comment.
"NAFTA is responsible for increasing trade between Texas and Mexico by almost 110 percent since 2004," Rep. Will Hurd, R-San Antonio, said in a statement.
"Texas leads the nation in exports and benefits from international agreements that put Texans' goods and services in front of more customers," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, who voted to ratify NAFTA in 1993.
In 1991, the year before President George H. W. Bush signed on to the terms of NAFTA, Texas exported $15.5 billion in goods to Mexico, according to the Texas Center's Institute for International Trade. By 2015, that had increased sixfold. Last year, Texas' export industry employed 1.1 million people — the most in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.
"NAFTA is not a dirty word in Texas," U.S. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn said in a March interview with the Brookings Institute.
Texas GOP public opinion on international trade deals has nonetheless soured. While no recent Texas polls have tracked NAFTA's popularity specifically, a June 2016 poll conducted by the University of Texas at Austin's Texas Politics Project showed 51 percent of state Republicans view trade agreements unfavorably, compared with just 17 percent who support them.
Scott Lincicome, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, said public opinion of trade deals is often subject to "blind partisanship."
Some Texas Republicans may dislike NAFTA in part because it was ratified when Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's husband was president, said Republican Party of Texas communications director Michael Joyce.
Clinton was also secretary of state during early negotiations of the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Even Texas' NAFTA detractors say the state has seen an economic boost from the deal's reduced trade barriers.
"It's very unclear what renegotiating NAFTA would do, especially in an economy in which jobs are being lost to technology." — Rachel Wellhausen, assistant professor of government at UT-Austin
U.S. Rep. Gene Green, D-Houston, who voted against NAFTA's ratification, said, "I think NAFTA's benefited the state as whole, but it hasn't necessarily benefited my district." Green added that if NAFTA were up for a vote today, he would not vote for it.
U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, said his region was "devastated" by NAFTA initially, with thousands of manufacturing jobs moving just across the border "almost overnight." Eventually, though, El Paso adapted to the new economic reality, regaining many of the jobs originally lost, he said.
"If you're just looking at the net impact, NAFTA was positive," he said.
Trump's campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but Trump has suggested that he would renegotiate NAFTA by creating tariffs on certain goods to help protect U.S. manufacturers from foreign competition.
Tim Wise, director of the research and policy program at Tufts University's Global Development and Environment Institute, has long criticized NAFTA's lax environmental and labor standards. Like Trump, he would like to see NAFTA renegotiated. But he called Trump's likely reform plan "absurd."
"The idea that the U.S. could bully Mexico into accepting whatever trade protection Trump wants to impose without giving anything in return is not the way trade negotiations work," he said.
Lincicome, a NAFTA supporter, noted that the tariffs Trump may favor are subject to congressional approval. But if Trump were to pull out of the deal, he said, many Texans, particularly poorer consumers and workers in the all-important energy sector, would feel a "devastating" economic backlash.
"NAFTA is not a dirty word in Texas." — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas
No Texas congressional Republicans addressed the possibility of a NAFTA opt-out.
In 2008, then-Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both said the next president should use an opt-out as leverage to renegotiate the deal's labor and environmental standards.
President George W. Bush, a former governor of Texas, defended NAFTA then, saying, "now is not the time to renegotiate NAFTA or walk away from NAFTA."
A campaign spokeswoman would not specify which aspects of NAFTA Clinton would now like to see changed or whether Clinton would opt out if those standards are not met.
Many NAFTA critics, including Green and Wise, attribute some of America's immigration challenges to Mexican workers' inability to prosper under NAFTA's poorly enforced labor standards.
Clinton has said she does not support the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which would create stricter enforcement mechanisms for labor and environmental standards in NAFTA countries.
Trump has also not specified the reforms to NAFTA he would like to see. Asked in a July 26 Detroit News interview about renegotiation specifics, he assured he wants to change "many, many things."
Rachel Wellhausen, an assistant professor of government at UT-Austin, said a potential renegotiation of NAFTA may not be as impactful to the larger economic picture as our politics might suggest.
"I would want the political rhetoric to be about job creation in the face of global competition and technology change," she said. "It's very unclear what renegotiating NAFTA would do, especially in an economy in which jobs are being lost to technology."

Q: Adding UITableView's instances to the view of UIViewController, only one of them was adjusted I have two UITableView's instances. When I add them as subviews to the root view of the UIViewController, which is in a UINavigationController, I got one of them was automatically added contentOffset with y is -64, because of the new property automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets, but another one is 0. Only the first one will be adjusted.
I have do some research from Apple's Documents and the Internet. Still cannot find any clue.
Here is the code I adding the table views.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // the table views are init in their getter methods
    // both frames are equal to root view of this view controller

    [self.view addSubview:self.firstTableView];
    [self.view addSubview:self.secondTableView]; // this one will not have contentOffset
}

After the addSubview, 'cause I want both of them have contentOffset. But even I have try to set contentOffset to secondTableView manually, somehow it was change back to 0 after the view controller was shown, the break point is in viewDidAppear:, on the screen.
Miscs: Xcode 5.0.2, iOS 7 SDK, ARC, neither Storyboards nor xibs.
I will be grateful if any one could help me with this.

A: This problem would be easier to solve if you were using storyboards. It sounds like autolayout is automatically making the contentOffset adjustment for you, despite never explicitly asking it to. See this answer for a very similar (or exactly the same?) issue with one UITableView seemingly being different from another identical UITableView. Xcode may be assuming that one of your instantiated UITableView objects is the topmost UIView.

I've updated my macbook pro to macOS Sierra and now my (apple) wired keyboard is completely broken.
It was working before the update.
Also Shift+tab don't work to access at Steam while in-game.
And here are just a few.... I keep discovering new ones every day.
Everything was working perfectly before the update.
I resolved all the issues. On the previous version (OS X) I was using Karabiner. On macOS Sierra since it was not working I've installed Karabiner-Elements.
I've deleted all of these, make sure to delete all the file. Rebooted. And now all is working properly.


Raw Apple cider vinegar is expensive to purchase. It is a valuable staple in the kitchen and home remedy box. Why not make your own unlimited supply? Apple cider vinegar is extremely easy and cheap to make at home. You can make a lot using big two gallon crocks or you can make smaller amounts using mason jars. All you need is: Apples to fill your container 3/4 full and enough filtered water to completely cover the apples.
The best part about creating your own apple cider vinegar is that you often get a mother, something highly revered in the health food circuit. You can use the mother to speed up the process of making future batches of ACV or for making other vinegars such as wine vinegar. Just add the mother once you have strained out the solids.
Once you've made apple cider vinegar you will want to consider making wine vinegar and fire cider. I can guarantee that they will taste better than any you've had from the store. You can get the instructions for wine vinegar here and fire cider here!
Clean your jars and containers well with hot soapy water and let dry.
Wash and scrub your apples and then chop them up roughly. You can also use apple scraps, peels and cores.
Pour filtered (purified) water over your apples and cover them completely. You don't want to use city water right from the tap if it contains chlorine, fluoride or other additives.
Add a weight to the jar to hold down all of the apples. Make sure there is an inch of liquid over the apples. Apples that get exposed to air will go bad and ruin your apple cider vinegar.
Cover the container with cheese cloth or cotton fabric and secure with a rubber band or twine.
Store in a dark place such as a large cupboard for three to four weeks. Check every few days to see how it is progressing. You should see some bubbles on the surface and over time the liquid will darken a bit.
Strain the apples from the liquid and return the liquid to the container.
Cover it again with the cloth and rubber band and return it to its storage place for another three to four weeks. Give it a stir a few times per week.
Taste the vinegar until it's to your liking (usually three to four weeks.). Re-bottle adding a cap and store in a cool/dark pantry or cupboard.
TIP: You will start to notice a gelatinous type of form on top of your vinegar. This is "the mother". You can accelerate future apple cider vinegar making by adding the mother to the jar after you have strained out the solids. You can also use it to make wine vinegar with left over wine!
Does ACV ever go bad. I made some last year and still have some. I am wondering if it is safe to give to my chickens in their water.
Hi Mary. Vinegar does not typically go bad. The quality degrades over time (years) but unless it looks/smells bad it will be safe to use.
Thanks a bunch. I thought it was good forever but not sure. I overthink things sometimes so hubby says. Thanks again.
Glad I could help! I over think things too. It's a good thing right?
I can't wait to make my own vinegar this fall! Does the pantry or cupboard need to be warm or cool? I tried to make a ginger bug this spring but the house was too cool and was wondering if the same thing would happen with the vinegar.
I'm wondering if the quality of the vinegar would be affected by using summer apples instead of winter apples. What do you think?
I made some raw apple cinder but after the 3 week fermentation (with the apples still in), instead of having the second fermentation, I bottled the fluid. Have I ruined the process by doing this. Can I do anything to save it and proceed with the next stage.
I would remove the lid and cover it with cheesecloth to continue to the next ferment. There are factors that I just can't be sure of without seeing it for myself but I expect everything will work out fine. If you happen to have some raw apple cider vinegar in your pantry, you could also add a few tbsp to boost it along. I think this should work out fine for you but if not, don't give up – the first batch is always the trickiest.


The Music Gallery has a long history of presenting innovative combinations of music and dance. We shared our home at the Great Hall (1984-91) with Danceworks and since then, not a season has gone by without some element of dance gracing our venue. 918 Bathurst is particularly suited to dance presentations, and in this season of new beginnings, we are proud to present a new collaboration with Dancemakers, one of the city's most fearless contemporary dance organizations, Emerging Artist-in-Residence Amanda Acorn who will expand her incredible work multiform(s).
Driven by questions surrounding habitual ways of seeing and researching the abstract body, Acorn created the solo work multiform, which has developed into a piece for five dancers and two live musicians. multiform(s) premiered in Toronto in 2015, receiving critical and audience acclaim and the Canadian Stage Award for direction.
multiform(s) featured artists Jonathan Adjemian, Meryem Alaoui, Lori Duncan, Germaine Liu, Kate Nankervis, Ann Trépanier, Kathia Wittenborn.
Opening both nights of multiform(s) was Open Fortress, a collective of dancers organized by Allie Blumas, Anna Mayberry, Lee Gelbloom and Jolyane Langlois, featuring the music of David Psutka (aka Egyptrixx). Open Fortress aims to support its members by encouraging collaboration and sharing space, as well as creating and showing physical performance in non-traditional "Dance World" settings.


Loss: Why Is It Harder For Some People To Handle The Loss Of A Parent?
In precisely the exact same way that getting older is normally part of life, experiencing loss is also a part of life. And while getting older can be hard, experiencing loss can be something which is even harder to manage.
There are, obviously, different kinds of reduction, and while one kind of loss may not be too painful, another type can be. If someone was to eliminate a pet they may find it difficult to function for a couple of weeks, but if they were to get rid of a loved one, they may be like this for a whole lot longer.
The effect that losing a pet has on one individual is subsequently not always going to be just like the effect it has on another.
Losing a loved one can make it difficult for someone to work for a matter of months and then they may slowly begin to settle down. What took place could be in their mind after this, but what occurred will not have made it impossible for them to deal with life generally.
For somebody else, it may not matter how many months or years pass, as they just won't have the ability to continue with their life.
It was not a surprise that this individual has passed , and this could have enabled them to get ready for the inevitable.
Unlike this individual, another could have lost a loved one who wasn't at the end of the life and neither was their wellbeing in a terrible way. If this was true, it would make complete sense as to why these two individuals have undergone different responses.
At exactly the exact same time, what might have played a significant role in how these two individuals have reacted to a reduction is how emotionally developed they are. 1 person might be emotionally together, which will have allowed them to manage what took place.
For the other, they may not have been in a fantastic place in the first place, meaning that they might have been emotionally troubled until they experienced loss.
Then again, the reason why the former has been able to move forward so quickly might have been a sign that they just pushed their feelings from their point of consciousness. It may then be erroneous to say they have a wholesome relationship with their emotions.
That the latter has not been able to readjust to their life after a couple of months can then be regarded as a sign they do have a healthy relationship with their emotions.
When someone loses a parent, the experience of loss may have a different effect on them. However, though this is true, the situations above can still apply to this sort of loss.
This implies, then, is that somebody may have known that it was just a matter of time before this took place and this enabled them to emotionally prepare, which makes it easier for them to come to terms with the loss. Or, someone may not have expected this to occur, which makes it incredibly tough for them to manage what's taken place.
The sort of relationship they had with this parent may also play a role in the way they feel. If they had a close relationship with them, it's naturally going to be more difficult for them to manage what's taken place.
Likewise, if this was not the case and one did not have a close relationship with them, it may make it easier for them to manage the loss. This shows it that there are several factors involved.
Yet, even if a person did not have a close relationship with their parent that has passed on, it does not automatically indicate that this will make it easier for them to deal with.
By way of instance, as this man is no longer around, they might wind up going into survival mode. So, irrespective of whether the reduction has resulted in them feeling unsafe or to be too preoccupied with how they will support themselves, it's very likely to prove that something was triggered in their early years.
One is then not only going to get heavy heart afterwards; they will have a body that's anything but calm. Still, this does not imply that they have been dependent on this parent for anything before, however.
This illustrates what took occur during someone's early years can have a large impact how they react to life events as an adult.
If a person has lost a parent, and they can see that there's more to how they feel than that which has lately taken place, they might want to reach out for outside support. This is something which may be provided by the aid of a therapist or a healer.


Situated on the mighty Belize River and central to all of Belize, the ranch is a place where the horses roam free and huge iguanas laze in the branches above the bamboo. The land here is surrounded by evidence of both the ancient Maya and a historic logging tradition. Nestled in a quiet jungle setting, in the midst of birds and other tropical wildlife, the jungle ranch resort features delightful accommodations that blend with the local landscape and culture. Home to the finest equestrian center in Belize, here you will experience something different from the familiar. If you've ridden over mountains, prairies and park lands we know your expectations are high. Can the tropics show you anything you haven't already seen? Absolutely!
You awaken to the shimmering glow of dawn materializing through the tropical haze. Horses are roaming freely and grazing in green pastures surrounded by large palms. The day is young and a sudden rush of excitement fills the air. It's time to ride! The ranch is big, beautiful and boisterous. Miles of jungle and riverside trails are awaiting you. There are opportunities to experience horsemanship in a variety of ways, from setting your own trail itinerary to participating in structured instructor lessons. The well kept horses, quiet river, gentle breeze, flocks of parrots, saturated sunsets, delicious meals, friendly people, and exotic surroundings will sooth your soul.
In addition to the day to day riding tours, you have the opportunity to participate in a hands on experience with the horses here. In the arena or on the trail, communication between horse and rider begins to meld. The concepts we follow are those of natural horsemanship, as presented by John Lyons and Pat Parelli, two of the most popular horse clinicians in the United States, and are the basis for horsemanship at the ranch - even down south here in Belize! Key words are communication, trust and discipline. Of course you may just opt for just some exciting trail riding instead.
While we mostly ride western, we also have two sets of English saddles and tack for your use. There are miles of jungle trails in and out of the forest canopy. Nice long canters along jungle trails can be an exhilarating experience. This is a place far from the real world and near to the things you've dreamed of. An exciting, yet peaceful place. You will be taking more than pictures home. You'll have memories to last a lifetime!
Available every week from Saturday to Saturday.
You'll be met at the Airport for your transfer to our lodge. If you arrive on an early flight you might want to visit the Belize Zoo or Old Belize. After check-in, you can tour the grounds and get acquainted with our own local wildlife. Soon dinner will be served family style, providing perfect time and setting to meet your hosts and the other guests.
After breakfast you select and get to know your horse. We'll start our with some pointers in the round pen and arena and after lunch we'll take you to a challenging ride to Tiger Creek. Then we'll wind down at dusk with a relaxing stop at the Birding Tower by the lagoon. Take your binoculars to see some of the 210 species of birds identified.
By now you've probably bonded with your horse and have honed your skills and horsemanship. Our wrangler will provide tips and pointers as you ride. Your afternoon trail experience will take you through more jungle along the river and through teak trees and fields of corn or beans. If you like we'll stop for a river swim before heading back for an evening of relaxation, chats about the day and another great meal.
With the new skills you've learned, you may want to try out a more challenging horse, but if you want to stick with your buddy, that's okay too. Today we'll do the Maya Trail and Colorado Lagoon stopping for a picnic lunch on the way. This trail will test your endurance a bit but it's worth it for the true jungle experience. The staff is preparing you a hearty meal back at the lodge and a good night's sleep will refresh you for the day ahead.
Today we're off to Roaring River Cave. We'll ride through the village of Roaring Creek and explore a seldom visited cave where you'll see ancient artifacts and feel an exquisite Mayan presence. We'll break for lunch at wonderful swimming hole so be sure to take your swimming suit. The water's quite clear and you might want to bring along a snorkel mask too. Chill back at the ranch with dinner and conversation.
For a change in pace, we'll take you down the Belize River in the skiff where you'll be guided through Guanacaste Park. The park is famous for it's 10 foot diameter tree and multitude of birds. Iguanas dart along the paths and scamper up the trees while you observe hundreds of botanic wonders. After lunch back at the dinning room, and an afternoon of relaxing we'll saddle up for a sunset ride.
This is going to be fun! This morning you'll test your skills and speed on the obstacle course, and we'll have a little barrel race competition. You will be awarded with a certificate of achievement, and an opportunity to win a prize. Lunch will be either at the ranch or in town depending on time and weather. The afternoon will be spent driving down the Western Highway to historic town of San Ignacio. We'll stop at the Butterfly Farm and Belize's most visited and best restored Maya ruin, Xunantunich which is Mayan for 'Maiden of the Rocks'.
In case you didn't get enough riding in, you may choose to do a short aloha ride (we hate to say goodbye). If there's time you can stop for a tour on the way back to the airport or wherever you wish to go within our transfer range.
There is an option to visit Mayan Temples of Tikal (Guatemala) during the week or we can add a day for you.
There is an extra charge and we will need a minimum of 3 participants.
Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is located in the archaeological region of the Petén Basin in what is now northern Guatemala. Tikal was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya. Though monumental architecture at the site dates back as far as the 4th century BC, Tikal reached its apogee during the Classic Period, ca. 200 to 900 AD. During this time, the city dominated much of the Maya region politically, economically, and militarily, while interacting with areas throughout Mesoamerica such as the great metropolis of Teotihuacan in the distant Valley of Mexico.
Tikal is the best understood of any of the large lowland Maya cities, with a long dynastic ruler list, the discovery of the tombs of many of the rulers on this list and the investigation of their monuments, temples and palaces. An early breakfast prepares you for a 'must see' trip to visit the Temples at Tikal in Guatemala. Your English speaking guide will lead you through the 5 major temples built around 700 AD - he dominant features of the city, identified only by numbers. Two of them stand in the middle of the square which can be viewed only from the top of the temple number 2. The top of this temple reaches the height of 38 m. Temple number 1 is not accessible, for safety reasons. The north acropolis stands among these temples. Archaeologists uncovered layers of earth, and thus proved that the Maya had lived here before Christ. The current appearance of the acropolis comes from the 8th century AD. Nowadays, Tikal has become a part of the Tikal National Park , and in 1979 it has been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour lasts 4-5 hours.
Pace: Moderate with lots of opportunities for canters and gallops - according to riding level.

Stateside: Investigating Detroit's homeless population
Michigan Radio | By Michigan Radio Newsroom
user anonymonous
Money awarded to help homeless veterans.
Airing this week will be a series of stories Michigan Radio's Kyle Norris compiled on Detroit's homeless population.
To introduce the series, Norris spoke with Meghan Takashima of the Corporation for Supportive Housing.
They spoke about some of the misconceptions people have about those without a home.
Norris began by noting her inspiration for the stories.
"Something is drawing me to these stories…when I'm with homeless people I have to be real, I have to be a human first and a reporter second," said Norris.
These experiences pushed Norris in new directions of both interacting and writing.
According to Takashima there are thousands of homeless people today in Detroit.
"The estimate is about 19,000 individuals who are counted in the Homeless Management Information System," she said.
Takashima addressed the need for better access to subsidized housing in Detroit.
"We still face a lot of the same challenges. For people who have been homeless for a long time, they need services. Without access to subsidized housing…they often return to the street."
Norris claims that the biggest misconception about the homeless is their level of intelligence.
"Every time I meet homeless people they're smart- they have a wicked sense of humor," she said.
Norris' series will air at 3pm every day this week on Stateside.

A healthy, easy, vegan burger that's as fun to make as it is to eat.
This happened in my kitchen a few weekends ago. I've been waiting for the right time to introduce you, and for some reason this seems like a good time. Say hello to my little friend, the edamame rice burger.
No burger has ever made me feel happier. The gorgeous green color is just what this weary winter warrior needs on my plate right now. It's a reminder that spring will come again and the gray and brown outside of my windows will eventually turn green again. Until then, I'll just be thankful for this pretty edamame burger.
Good looks aside, this healthy patty tastes amazing. I was going to call it a sushi burger because it has the ingredients of some of my favorite veggie rolls from the sushi joint down the street from my house, but then I thought better of it. Edamame rice burger is clearer. No?
And just like that….We're back to how amazing this burger tastes. Stay focused, Linda.
Let me share what kinds of spices are in this beauty of a recipe and you'll get an idea about how savory and delicious it is. I put garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, cayenne, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper in this recipe. There isn't one stand out punch you in the taste buds spice, they all just blend together to give the burger a savory, rich flavor. And the tiny bit of cayenne pepper gives them a tiny little kick. SO. GOOD.
Vegan burgers are sometimes difficult because they don't hold together well. That's because the things that we use to bind the patties are not as binding as eggs. No problem here. The rice is an outstanding binding agent, and it gives the burgers a slightly sweet, earthy flavor.
To make these you'll need a food processor, there's really no getting around it. You could try using a high powered blender, but you'd have to blend the edamame and spinach mixture in two or three batches. You'll also need to boil the edamame beans for five minutes and then soak them in ice cold water so they'll be cool enough to handle. You'll also need to make the rice. Once you do those things you can whip the burgers together in five minutes flat.
Just process the edamame, spinach, rice, flax eggs, and spices together until they're well combined and the mixture is thick and sticky. Then form the patties. You choose the size.
The last step is to sear them in a hot skillet or you can bake them in the oven. It's faster to cook them on the stovetop in a skillet, and you'll get a nice and crispy, slightly charred surface.
Since these are edamame rice burgers you can eat them three ways. Maybe more if you're super creative.
Eat them on a bun.
Eat them on a bed of spinach with sriracha drizzled on top.
Dip them in soy sauce.
How would you eat an edamame rice burger?
Have you ever had an edamame burger?
A healthy, green, delicious burger made with edamame, spinach, rice, and savory spices.
2 tablespoons of ground flax seed plus 6 tablespoons of water – mix them together in a small bowl until the mixture becomes thick and sticky. Let sit for ten minutes.
Ground sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Bring the water to a boil and add the rice. Stir well and reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Keep covered.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the edamame. Boil for 5 minutes, drain the water, and rinse with cold water. When the edamame is cool enough to touch remove the beans from the pods and place them in a bowl.
Add the edamame beans to a food processor and process until it looks like tiny pebbles. Add the spinach, rice, flax eggs, garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, oregano, cayenne pepper (only if you like hot food), sea salt and pepper to a food processor and process until the mixture starts to form a ball.
Remove the blade from the processor and form the mixture into patties. Make them as large or as small as you'd like.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat and drizzle with a teaspoon of avocado oil (optional if you have a non-stick pan). When the oil is got add the edamame burger and cook for four to five minutes or until firm and browned. Flip and cook the other side for four to five minutes. You can also bake in a 375° oven for fifteen to twenty minutes or until they begin to brown on top.
Serve on a bun with lettuce and tomato and your favorite condiments or serve the patty on a bed of spinach with a drizzle of sriracha, or serve as a patty and dip in soy sauce.
These look great, and they are such a bright and pretty color! I need to try these soon!
I just love everything with edamame, but never tried a burger before. This recipe is so incredibly creative and delicious, I can't wait to get some edamame and make these burgers. The vibrant green colour makes me wanna jump through the computer screen right now into edamame burger heaven :) Pinned.
This looks wonderful, love the color and I would totally eat it! Thanks!
Great way to eat soy w/o all of the processing in tofu. I'm thinking : roll the mixture in cute little balls, roll them around in panko, throw them in a skillet, grab the salsa.....just bc these guys are GREEN, the kids might shy away, ( OKAY, would definitely shy away ! ) so why not fry 'em. Hey I'm southern. We gotta fry something.
This looks good. If I have the Edamames already shelled how much do you think I should use, a cup? Should theys still be boiled first?
Oh my.... is that rice!! Looks incredible Linda. And what a delicious patty. I'm sure that would have been the one delicious burger! I'm drooling all over the keyboard looking at it.
I've never had an edamame burger, but it's probably the most bright and beautiful veggie burger around! That green is beautiful, and I like the double decker, extra tasty, probably won't fit in my mouth look. Although the bun-less route sounds pretty tasty too. I used to eat all my burgers bun-less, or shall I say bun on the side...I still want those carbs :D Yummy ever which way!
This is such a great change of pace from the typical black bean burger. I love wrapping my burgers in lettuce, so crisp and fresh. Thanks, Natalie!
Now that is a protein packed veggie burger! I LOVE that pick with the chopsticks, so I would have to try it dipped in soy sauce because you've totally sold me! And YES I am so ready for spring!!
Thanks, Jenn! I was actually questioning the quality of that picture so I'm so happy to hear that you like it. I loved the burger dipped in soy sauce. Spring won't come soon enough and it's only January. It's going to be a loooonnnngggg winter.
It's like a double stack of heaven! I'll take two with Sriracha, then two more with more Sriracha. I'm in love!
Yes to lots of sriracha! It's also awesome dipped in soy sauce. Thanks, Sophia!
I love a good veggie burger and this one looks phenomenal! It never even crossed my mind to make one with edamame. Looks really delicious, Linda!
Thank you, Vanessa! This burger is such a nice change of pace because of the rice and pretty green color.
Awesome! Let me know what you think. Thanks, Dixya!
I love that it's a double patty!
I did too! :) Thanks!
I love the bright green color and how easy they are to make.
Thank you, Kathy! Yes, they're super easy to make.
These look FANTASTIC Linda! I have never even eaten edamame, would you believe it? But if I ever buy some, this burger is the first thing I'll make. Love that you didn't skimp on the spices. Too many bland burgers out there, give me FLAVOR, haha. Awesome recipe girl.
What a great healthy recipe. A good alternative to a traditional burger.
I can't find Rice Plus in any stores near me. I'd like to sub brown rice, which yields 4 cups cooked rice for 1 cup dry rice. Do you know what the yield is for 1 cup of Rice Plus?
Hi Pam! You can use any white or brown rice. Usually it's a 1 to 2 ratio, so 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. Just follow the instructions on the package of rice and you'll be good to go. Enjoy!
Hello, do you cook the spinach?

Indie gas stations offer lower rates
A gas station in Hongeun-dong, Seodaemun District, northwestern Seoul, is not affiliated with any of the nation's four oil refineries. There are 1,175 independent gas stations across the country, and since they have diverse supplies of products, they can offer lower pump prices. They can get supplies from refiners, local petro-products traders, the online oil market or by importing from overseas. By Park Sang-moon
As gas prices fluctuated widely in recent years, the number of gas stations not affiliated with a local oil refiners has increased.
Independent stations can mix and match fuels through negotiations with a variety of suppliers, and their pump prices are normally lower than stations affiliated with one of the four local refiners.
"Because they can get supply from refiners, local petro-products traders, the online oil market or imports from overseas, their diverse supply portfolio lowers the selling price," said one government official related to the industry.
Independent gas stations totaled 1,175 last month, up from 836 in 2010. The number of stations affiliated with refineries decreased slighted last month to 11,732 from 12,152 in 2010.
The average gas price last month at a station affiliated with SK Energy was 1,912.57 won ($1.70) per liter. An unaffiliated station sold a liter of gas for 1,877.84 won. Stations affiliated with the three other refineries had selling prices in between those figures, according to the Korea National Oil Corporation.
From January to July, the gap between gas prices by affiliated and unaffiliated stations was 37 won per liter. In 2011, it was 45 won per liter.
However, unaffiliated stations are also notorious for selling fake gasoline products.
According to statistics by the Korea Institute of Petroleum Management, 4.6 percent of all independent gas stations were caught selling fake gasoline from 2006 to 2011. Affiliated stations were much less likely to sell the fake stuff.
"Unaffiliated gas stations are more independent: No gas provider tells them to keep the quality high," said Jo Baek-rae, a manager of the Korea National Oil Corporation's non-brand gas stations' division.
And when an affiliated station is caught for selling fake products, it's not uncommon for him to go independent after that, Jo said.
"To keep the image of a company clean and safe, large oil refiners tend to cut their contracts with the gas stations that are caught for illegal actions," Jo said.
Independent stations got a little publicity Wednesday when a lawmaker argued that they sold gas at cheaper prices last month than the altteul, or thrift gas stations introduced last year to break the oligopoly in the oil industry in Korea.
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy said that was a temporary fluke.

A few weeks ago, I was staring disbelievingly at a little blue line.
Like thousands of women before me, a million conflicting thoughts raced through my head. I felt excited. I felt nervous. I felt unprepared.
My way of dealing with things has always been by writing about them, and as I've blogged for several years (about makeup, fashion and all sorts of pretty things), here I am doing the natural thing and posting my thoughts, feelings and experiences about this whole, very new parenting thing I'm about to embark on.
At first I wasn't sure whether I would just use my other blog to also cover 'mummy' topics, but it seems to me this thing is complex and has very different concerns, so I've decided to spin off.
I feel like such a hopeless newbie about all this- but the first thing I did was look for parenting blogs that could help me understand what I was getting into.
Writing this is an attempt to feel more connected and less clueless.
I'm Sarah, a 29 year old marketing and PR specialist living in the East Midlands with my husband, Sebastian and our kitten, Shilling.
In November 2014, after two years of trying to 'second step' into a home more suitable for a family than our cosy two-up, two-down, we finally managed to pull it off and moved into a large Victorian semi backing onto the canal.
It definitely needs work, so we've been slowly doing it up – a process that is taking far longer than I naively imagined when we were only dreaming of moving!
Around Christmas, we started thinking about the next logical step – starting a family to fill all those empty bedrooms.
I was expecting the process to take a good few months, so we were very surprised when I fell pregnant straight away - before I'd even really got my head around the idea of trying.
I still feel like my mind is 20 paces behind my body. I'm now out of the first trimester, beginning to show a little (although it looks a lot more like a heavy lunch at the moment than a baby bump!) and still trying to believe that this is really all happening.
So I'm seriously about to become a mummy?
But why blog about it? Because there's so much I don't know! This whole thing is a mystery to me, and like a lot of new parents, I'll be figuring it out as I go along.
I also want to be a bit of a blank slate. I want to go into this without a whole load of preconceived ideas about how to do this and that. That way lies madness. I don't want to do it like my parents did, like my friends are, like I think I should be. I just want to be kind to myself and enjoy the learning curve. Embrace the unknown.
Also, I'm just a regular Joanna, trying to make it work. We see a lot of images of 'perfect' celebrity mums and parenting gurus. Motherhood is something everyone has an opinion on - even those who really shouldn't! I like the idea of being an unknown voice.

Bob Hurley Quotes
He didn't think he was good enough, and he was ready to give up on himself. The supporting cast around him had a lot of question marks, but we knew what we were getting from Dave. But he wasn't happy with himself.
More Bob Hurley Quotes
His self-esteem wasn't high, and he was trying to reflect too much on the things he didn't do well. He had no idea that he was that good of a player. He just needed to be himself. Everything else would have been fine.
I think David is at peace with his own game now. He was too worried about himself and worried about others. He's a very quiet kid who doesn't say much. Maybe early on, he wasn't comfortable being a leader. But I think he feels good about who he is right now.
From what I can tell, it's a good deal for the city, where we can wind up with four soccer fields replacing one, for instance.
Quotes 1 to 25 of 4


Do not worry about your problems with women at all.
Focus on maintaining a happy persona.
A girl that I work with is always ill-mannered. It makes her very unattractive. I always thought of her as an uglo, until one day when she was very happy and I noticed that she was kind of cute.
When I was in my best moods, I attracted the most women.
When I was looking for validation, I got rejected the hardest.
When I was the most arrogant, people started to put me down the most.
When I tried to act like the smartest, I said the dumbest things.
The times when the most good things happened to me, were the times when I was in a good mood to begin with.
The times when the worst things happened to me, were the times when I was in a poor mood.
From that, all else will fall into place.
If you depend on the world to do it for you, the happiness you have will be taken away.
Why not already be content with your life and where you are headed? Then, you have nothing to really worry about, and you are naturally confident.
What reason do you have to NOT smile and look in the eyes of a person you find attractive? That is where you want to look isn't it?
Why do you need to do ANYTHING for this person? Don't you do everything for yourself? Why deny them the same independence?
Why would you be into self deprecating humor? Why wouldn't you be humorous? After all you are in a happy mood.
Don't you have any idea what you want to do? Why wouldn't you step up and voice your opinion? Why step aside and let someone else control the situation? Don't you think you are worthy enough?
Let not your cocky and funny attitude come from the thought of "all chicks want me." Let not your dominance come from "I am better then everyone else." Let not your confidence come from "she failed to recognize quality." Be a real man and take things as they are.
Don't try to impress people. Don't try to seduce chicks. Don't try to stay strong, dominant, confident, etc.
Just try to stay happy, and all else will follow.

About the Battle of Hampton Roads:
The Battle of Hampton Roads, often referred to as either the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (or Virginia) or the Battle of Ironclads, was the most noted and arguably most important naval battle of the American Civil War from the standpoint of the development of navies. It was fought over two days, March 8–9, 1862, in Hampton Roads, a roadstead in Virginia where the Elizabeth and Nansemond Rivers meet the James River just before it enters Chesapeake Bay adjacent to the city of Norfolk. The battle was a part of the effort of the Confederacy to break the Union blockade, which had cut off Virginia's largest cities, Norfolk and Richmond, from international trade.
The major significance of the battle is that it was the first meeting in combat of ironclad warships, i.e. the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. The Confederate fleet consisted of the ironclad ram Virginia (built from the remnants of the USS Merrimack) and several supporting vessels. On the first day of battle, they were opposed by several conventional, wooden-hulled ships of the Union Navy. On that day, Virginia was able to destroy two ships of the Federal flotilla, USS Congress and USS Cumberland, and was about to attack a third, USS Minnesota, which had run aground. However, the action was halted by darkness and falling tide, so Virginia retired to take care of her few wounded — which included her captain, Flag Officer Franklin Buchanan — and repair her minimal battle damage.
Determined to complete the destruction of the Minnesota, Catesby ap Roger Jones, acting as captain in Buchanan's absence, returned the ship to the fray the next morning, March 9. During the night, however, the ironclad Monitor had arrived and had taken a position to defend Minnesota. When Virginia approached, Monitor intercepted her. The two ironclads fought for about three hours, with neither being able to inflict significant damage on the other. The duel ended indecisively, Virginia returning to her home at the Gosport Navy Yard for repairs and strengthening, and Monitor to her station defending Minnesota. The ships did not fight again, and the blockade remained in place.
The battle received worldwide attention, and it had immediate effects on navies around the world. The preeminent naval powers, Great Britain and France, halted further construction of wooden-hulled ships, and others followed suit. A new type of warship was produced, the monitor, based on the principle of the original. The use of a small number of very heavy guns, mounted so that they could fire in all directions was first demonstrated by Monitor but soon became standard in warships of all types. Shipbuilders also incorporated rams into the designs of warship hulls for the rest of the century.

Woman with Brain Tumor Stabbed Herself in Chest Because God Told Her To March 6, 2018 David Gee
Woman with Brain Tumor Stabbed Herself in Chest Because God Told Her To
A woman in Switzerland who stabbed herself in the chest several times told doctors she was following direct orders from God… but it turns out the voice she was hearing was caused by a brain tumor, not a deity.
The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous and is only referred to as "Sarah," had numerous self-inflicted stab wounds — some measuring nearly 3 inches in depth — at the urging of the imaginary voice (and actual tumor).
It was a strange case, but not completely unusual, according to psychiatrist Sebastian Walther who first met Sarah in hospital and told BBC Future about her case… Walther recalls that she had a demeanour of "distinctly feeling blessed", and that she heard voices every minute or so, sometimes lasting for hours. To her they were "divine" and "persistently enjoyable", despite the fact that these voices gave her deadly instructions.
A brain scan revealed something even more surprising, Sarah had a tumour in a very critical place in her brain, disturbing a "sweet spot" of networks important for processing sound.
As Walther says, this type of thing isn't incredibly rare. A certain number of people have illnesses or other issues that cause them to hear voices that aren't really there, and many of those people assign religious meaning to it. The difference is that, for Sarah, the voices encouraged deadly violence against herself. (I guess we should be glad they wasn't directing that threat at someone else.)
While most of us can clearly distinguish between outside sounds and our inner thoughts, many people hear voices — with estimates ranging from 5% to as high as 19% of the general population. Some are benign. But some, when coupled with other mental health issues, can be more distressing. These were the kind of voices Sarah heard.
Auditory hallucinations, like those she experienced, show just how fragile our brain's auditory input can be. Her case provides a window into how our perceptual processes work and how easily they can be confused.
Thankfully, Sarah lived through her divinely inspired attempted suicide and got medical treatment. She is also no longer hearing voices, although she has reportedly retained her faith. Not everyone is so lucky, though, and this is more common than you might think.
This is exactly what comedian and The View host Joy Behar was talking about when she said there's a difference between when you talk to Jesus and when Jesus talks to you. The latter is something for which you might need to seek a mental health evaluation, while the former is religion.
