Air France looks to Asia for growth and Gulf airlines for ideas
The Star/ANN
- Apr 27, 2013 8:05 am
Air France sees the growth opportunity in Malaysia and elsewhere in Asia, and it also sees that building cooperation doesn't always require thinking in traditional terms of alliances.
It is no secret that the action in the airline industry is taking place in Asia.
By just looking at passenger growth rates in Asia, it is clear that Asian airlines are doing relatively better than their global peers.
Population growth in Asia is the highest and so is economic growth. Furthermore, businesses in Asia are booming and hence the attraction for global airlines to get a slice of that action.
It is therefore no coincidence that Air France decided to take a bite at the pie when it landed on Malaysian soil on Tuesday after a 20-year absence.
For a start, Air France will begin with three weekly flights into Malaysia and may increase them should the demand rise.
It may even change from the B777 that it now operates to a A380, which is what Malaysia Airlines (MAS) deploys on the KL-Paris route.
"There is big potential for us here. We are targeting Malaysian tourists and businessmen to use our aircraft and we are pretty optimistic about that, otherwise we would not have opened the route, considering that we also have daily flights to Bangkok and Singapore," Air France chairman and chief executive officer Alexandre de Juniac says.
He is looking at loads of over 80 per cent for his three weekly flights and that is what MAS is enjoying with its A380. That load is also shared by Air France's sister airline KLM on its KL-Amsterdam flights. Air France is not alone in returning to Malaysia. Just two days ago, Turkish Airlines returned after a decade's absence. Turkish Airlines will fly three times weekly between Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur. And in a week's time, Philippine Airlines too will return after a decade's absence.
The move by Philippine Airlines indicates that they too want to partake in the vibrancy of Asia and the sentiment is not lost on British Airways which is rumoured to be returning to KL International Airport before 2015.
"Nowadays the Asean area with Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore represent a major opportunity for businesses, so we need to cover more of it," he says.
The rising affluence
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) says demand for air travel continues to rise on economic optimism and improved business confidence. Much of the growth is concentrated in emerging markets especially in Asia. Europe continues to be a laggard.
Air France chairman and chief executive officer Alexandre de Juniac. IATA estimates that by 2014, Asia Pacific will account for 30 per cent of all passengers. Of the 800 million new passengers who will fly by then, 360 million of them, or almost half, will be in Asia Pacific. China alone will account for 214 million passengers.
Asia is now the unchallenged leader in aviation, with 787 million journeys last year and if the present rate of increase continues, the one-billion passenger figure will be overtaken in 2015, said another report.
That explains why Europe's biggest airlines are reassessing their long-haul alliances, particularly in Asia, as a growing number of emerging-market carriers are fighting hard to take a bigger share of Europe-Asia traffic.
De Juniac was candid when he said: "We are here for the margins and traffic."
But it is not just Asia, even the Asia Pacific region offers plenty of opportunities, especially for low-cost carriers and Asian airlines. Route connectivity is not as dense as Europe as there are many points in Asia and Australia which are not covered.
Demand for flights even drove Singapore Airlines (SIA) to increase its stake in Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd this week and Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airway bought into India's Jet Airways. The deal by SIA will intensify its challenge in the Australian market against dominant carrier Qantas Airways, whose new partner is Emirates, said a report.
Pricing pressure
With Air France and Turkish Airlines coming to Malaysia, the number of seats in the European sector will shoot up. Though the number of travellers will increase, so will competition.
MAS is already flying to five points in Europe London, Amsterdam, Paris, Istanbul and Frankfurt. Four European carriers, namely Air France, KLM, Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa offer connections into multiple cities in Europe from Asia.
Besides that, the Middle-East carriers are aggressively marketing European routes via a Middle East stop. Emirates is hugely popular in Australia as many like the 30 kg baggage offer even though it means sitting in Dubai airport for up to four hours to catch a connecting flight into Heathrow in UK.
In 2011, KL, Singapore and Bangkok offered 15 million seats to Europe and back, and last year the numbers fell to 14.2 million, and they are lower at 14 million this year. In contrast the seats offered by the Middle Eastern carriers to Europe is on the rise, from 8 million in 2011 to 9.5 million in 2013.
Lesser seats are offered by carriers out of Singapore and Bangkok to Europe but the seats offered from KL have increased from 1.8 million in 2011 to 1.9 million in 2013.
CAPA Centre for Aviation analyst Brendan Sobie believes the arrival of Air France is good for KL International Airport. It boosts competition to Europe, which is positive after AirAsia X dropped Europe including Paris last year. But that also means more competition for MAS.
Competition will intensify for the airlines as they vie for the customers even though the pie is getting bigger as more Asians take to the skies.
Competition is already intensifying when it comes to ticket prices. A return all inclusive airfare to London is between 3,000 and 4,000 ringgit (US$989.98-1,319.98) but some airlines offer tickets at 2,800 ringgit depending on the season. Air France is offering an all-in fare of 3,626 ringgit for a standard economy round-trip from KL to Paris and 11,333 ringgit for business class. It also offers premium economy seats (the in-between business and economy) at 5,777 ringgit.
With competition comes pricing pressure and being full service carriers, the airlines need to meet the high expectation of travellers.
That is despite Visa's latest Global Travel Intentions Study 2013 that showed global cross-border tourism is thriving and people are more willing to increase their budgets for their next trip by an average of 5 per cent.
European carriers have been facing tough times back home and margins are thinning because of the eurozone crisis and they are jockeying for positions to grab a bigger share of the fast-growing Asian market.
Given that competition can get fierce in Asia with pricing pressure, can these European carriers sustain the momentum?
De Juniac is taking a page from KLM's success story of being able to sustain in Asia for several decades now. He believes Air France is a "high class" product where quality matters and it will be able to attract travellers both from Europe and Asia.
"We will open additional Asian destinations and the reasons why we are targeting this part of the world is because of the strong growth here compared with the eurozone which is slow and lagging. It could recover but for the long haul we have to target the fast-growing areas," De Juniac says.
KLM flies to KL and also flies to Indonesia because of its historical ties and Air France will use the KLM's KL-Jakarta connectivity as it penetrates Asia.
CAPA's Sobie believes "the connections to Indonesia will be key in making the route (KL-Paris) work for Air France."
For players like Air France to make it big in Asia, they need partners.
De Juniac is thinking of working with partners in Asia, and China, including MAS. During his visit, he met up with the top brass at MAS for exploratory talks on cooperation.
Alliances are important for long haul carriers. A major shift occurred in the industry when Australia's Qantas partnered Emirates. That ended Qantas' relationship with Air France and BA.
Both now need to find new partners to connect to Australia because Qantas cannot do that any more from Singapore. BA has found Cathay Pacific but experts believes a viable proposition is via Singapore or Malaysia.
Hence the talks between MAS and Air France. What will come out of it is unclear as both are members of different alliances. MAS is with oneworld and Air France SkyTeam. But De Juniac believes there can be a way.
"Of course, the difficulty at this stage is that it (MAS) belongs to Oneworld and we belong to SkyTeam, which are competing alliances. But it is not impossible that we could envisage something. It could be possible if MAS asks its other oneworld members and any arrangement could be limited to a particular route, destination or traffic," De Juniac says.
Perhaps the cooperation could be beyond the KL-Paris route to include Australian and the Asian connections. Even BA needs that connection into Australia and greater Asia, experts believe. MAS is in talks with BA for a code share.
The big brands
One major beneficiary from new flights coming into KL is the tourism sector.
According to Tourism Malaysia director (international marketing division Americas, Europe, Oceania) Datin Normasila Musa, tourist arrivals from Paris alone totalled 136,172 last year and the target is over 140,000 French tourists this year.
That means there are more arrivals at KLIA, and one immediate beneficiary will be Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB). Hopefully with Air France. Turkish Airlines and Philippine Airlines returning, other big airlines will also be attracted to KLIA.
More than a decade ago BA, Qantas and Lufthansa left because of the economic crisis. The latter returned some years ago and MAHB has been in talks with BA.
BA may return, some say, but is there a compelling reason for its return or can it just make do with the code share with MAS?
Passenger arrivals will help boost tourist receipts and the airport. A decade ago, it was hard to justify KLIA as a hub in Asia. That is changing with the return of more big brands.
Last year, KLIA was the 27th busiest airport globally, recording 39 million passenger arrivals, according to Airport Council International (ACI) data. Experts believe it should go up a few notches over the next two years and should be in the top 20 by 2020. But it would be hard to beat the growth Soekarno Hatta records as last year, 57 million passengers passed through the airport in Jakarta, beating Changi which chalked up 51 million and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi 53 million.
A decade ago, both Jakarta and KLIA was not even on the ACI charts.
All this indicates the growth is in KLIA and Soekarno Hatta and Malaysia's vibrant economy led by the economic transformation programme is also seeing a lot more foreign investors coming and setting shop in the country.
With more investments, the expatriate community will also increase and it also induces tourism activities. Just this week Germany's BASF and Petronas Chemicals Bhd say they will invest US$500 million to expand their operations at Gebeng, Kuantan to manufacture products for the global flavour and fragrance industry.
All this bodes well for Malaysia, which is moving in the right direction. If the European carriers want a slice of this market, they need to be in Asia and Malaysia stands to benefit from that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by abbeyee32 from OBSESSED This pack has helped me fight acne and an over oily face!! I have been using since Christmas 2018 and not even a week later I had amazing results!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jane28 from Gave me a rash I was really excited to try this product because it was highly recommended by so many people and I had really high hopes for it. Unfortunately i was really disappointing with it. I thought it was working and that my skin was "purging" which is a good thing because its cleaning your pores and getting everything out. So i continued to use the product for 3 weeks mostly just at night. My skin dried out and felt really tight. I then stopped using the cleanser and the toner and my "bumps" slightly decreased and the dryness got better. I don't have sensitive skin so i was really surprised as to how my skin reacted to this product. I would probably recommend only the moisturizer. I think the chemicals in the cleanser and the toner are too harsh.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Romero_k from Amazing oil control products I discovered Olehenriksen a couple months ago and I love their products, especially their oil control regimen. It Does not leave the skin too dry compared to other oil control products our there in the market.
Rated 5 out of 5 by YamiZelda from Best morning routine I can't believe how effective this product is. My skin has a renewed radiance. So much so that I feel confident enough to ditch the makeup most days. Just love it and what you guys do.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Krys from Caused MAJOR breakouts I started out really excited about this product because the reviews were so stellar. Unfortunately, my skin reacted very poorly to this product. At first, I thought it might be my skin purging, but the breakouts never let up and my skin looks horrible compared to what it was before beginning the use of this set.
Rated 5 out of 5 by rebekah from Best Facial Sets Ever I came across Ole Henriksen through a blogger and started it a few months ago. I specifically picked this line due to my blemishes and oily skin. My skin has NEVER been better!!! I am so happy with my results and will never use anything again.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheryl from balance it all Started with sample size and fell in love with product. Have sensitive, very oily skin. Am 65yo so didn't want acne product but something to help with oiliness and large pores. This is so clean and mild and just right for me. Have tried a lot of products and there is no comparison to Balance It All.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ally M from Great value set with the best products The balance cleanser and toner are my favorite ever, and I wanted to restock on the hydrator for summer (I've been using the balance cream), so this was an incredible bundle. The cleanser and toner are incredible calming, never drying, and really do tame existing breakouts and prevent new ones. There was a heat wave a couple of weeks ago that was freaking my skin out, and I got the hydrator just in time to calm it down.

World Record Broken: Largest Coffee Party
October 15, 2013by AdminNo Comments
Last Monday (October 7, 2013), a coffee-related Guiness World Record was broken in Boyaca, Colombia: Largest Coffee Party in a Single Venue. This project was a collaboration between the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC) and the Department (State) of Boyacá, Colombia. The venue was the Plaza de Bolivar, located in the city of Tunja, where 13,567 thirsty coffee drinkers (including over 400 independent coffee growers) were welcomed into the city square with a hot cut of Colombian coffee. Participants were directed to different sections of the square until the entire crowd gathered and was counted. The final count was then revealed on a large screen in the center of the plaza.
"Breaking this record means the world to Colombian coffee farmers as we look to promote and encourage Colombian coffee consumption," said Luis F. Samper, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer of the FNC. "And which better place to break the record than in Boyacá, Colombia, one of the 21 departments known for the production of export quality coffee." According to Governor of Boyacá, Juan Carlos Granados, the event was to show support for the 12,000 coffee growers in this region known for it's "export quality" coffee production.
The previous record was set in 2009 by Krüger GmbH & Co in Cologne, Germany after 8,162 coffee-loving Germans gathered together in a park.

T2016 Tax relief for vehicles purchased for use by people with disabilities.
You can now complete the tax relief application through the 'register for myAccount' link on the revenue.ie website. The DD1/ DDO form for buying vehicles and the fuel claim can be done on the site now too. See letter to scheme members here.
This scheme provides a range of tax reliefs and benefits linked to the purchase, adaptation and use of vehicles by disabled drivers and disabled passengers in Ireland.
Under the terms of the scheme, you can claim remission or repayment of vehicle registration tax (VRT), repayment of value-added tax (VAT) on the purchase of a vehicle and repayment of VAT on the cost of adapting a vehicle, up to a maximum of €9,525 for a disabled driver and €15,875 for a disabled passenger. Relief is limited to a vehicle that has been specially constructed or adapted for use by a disabled person and that has an engine size of less than 2,000cc in the case of the driver and 4,000cc in the case of the passenger.
If you qualify for tax relief under the scheme, you can also claim repayment of excise duty on fuel used in your vehicle for the transport of a disabled person, up to a maximum of 600 gallons per year. In addition, if you qualify under the scheme, your vehicle may be exempt from the payment of annual road tax on application to a Motor Tax Office.
Specially adapted vehicles driven by disabled drivers are entitled to exemption from toll road fees. Toll road operators issue special passes which are recognised by all other toll road operators and which allow such vehicles pass through the tolls without paying. To obtain a special pass apply to your nearest toll road operator.
In order to qualify for tax relief under the scheme, you must have a valid Primary Medical Certificate. A Primary Medical Certificate confirms you are severely and permanently disabled.
Local Health Offices of the Health Service Executive process applications for a Primary Medical Certificate. The appeal process is through the same offices.

Q: Click como se fosse toggle ou hover Estou com um problema em algo similar a um tooltip legado, o que acontece é que fizeram no hover desta forma:
var elem  = jQuery('#interrogacao_adicionar_cartao_div');
jQuery('#tooltip-cartao').hover(
    function() {
        elem.show();
    }, function() {
        elem.hide();
    }
);

Ele funciona porem em mobile ele não some, ta é por que mobile é touch etc
Então estou mudando para que seja click tanto desktop e mobile, eu vi que tem outras formas mais simples de se fazer etc, mas eu não posso mudar nada apenas o evento que exibe e remove devido a estar em milhares de lugares e tem que funcionar de forma igual entre desktop e mobile
Então se clicar no #tooltip-cartao ele exibe e se ele ja estiver aberto e clicar nele ou em qualquer outro elemento fechar
Fiz da forma abaixo:
var click = jQuery('#tooltip-cartao');
var elem  = jQuery('#interrogacao_adicionar_cartao_div');
var att   = '';

jQuery('#tooltip-cartao , body').click(function(){
    att   = click.data('active');
    if (att === 'disable' && jQuery(this).attr('id') == 'tooltip-cartao') {
        click.attr('data-active','enable');
        elem.show();

    } else if (att === 'enable') {
        click.attr('data-active','disable');
        elem.hide();
    }
});

O problema que ele acaba pegando 2 eventos ao mesmo tempo então ele fica sempre mostrando ou sempre fechado pois não consigo juntar os 2 eventos em apenas um
Obs: não posso usar toggle por que não funciona em iphone 4 e 5

A: Em vez de usar body, é melhor usar document que abrange todo o HTML, enquanto o body se restringe apenas à área onde há conteúdo.
O exemplo abaixo mostra o conceito, então você deve adaptar ao seu código:

$(document,'#tooltip-cartao').click(function(e){
  if($("#div").is(":visible")){
      $("#div").hide();
   }else if(e.target.tagName != "HTML"){
      $("#div").show();
   }
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="tooltip-cartao" type="button" value="mostrar DIV" />
<div id="div" style="display: block; width: 100px; height: 100px; background: yellow; display: none; padding: 10px;">
   Olá! Clique em qualquer lugar para fechar
</div>

Sutton confident Barnt Green can avoid the drop
Barnt Green skipper Andrew Sutton. Picture: MARCUS MINGINS 1918005MMR6
Craig Gibbons 26th Jul, 2018
SKIPPER Andrew Sutton says he is 100 per cent confident Barnt Green have what it takes to haul themselves out the Birmingham League Premier Division drop zone.
The Cherry Hill Road side currently sit second-from-bottom after 13 games, 13 points behind third-from-bottom Walsall with nine games remaining.
It has been a tough campaign for the Green who have lacked regular consistency with bat and ball, according to Sutton.
With a home game against title-chasing Shrewsbury on Saturday followed by a clash with league leaders Berkswell the following weekend (August 4), Sutton knows every point claimed will be vital.
"I am 100 per cent sure we have the ability to dig ourselves out the hole we are in because at times this season we have shown we can grind out good results," he said.
"It's not the fact we are not good enough because we have some brilliant cricketers here, it is just the fact we are lacking consistency and that is something we need to work on.
"There's no doubting we are a young side which is learning all the time but if players have aspirations of staying at this level or playing higher they need to be more consistent.
"If we play at our potential we can beat anyone in this division.
"It's not great that we are second-from-bottom but we have got to find a way to stay in this league and if we finish third-from-bottom that has to be considered successful because of where we are in the group."
Green were comfortably beaten by six wickets by reigning league champions Knowle & Dorridge last Saturday.
Warwickshire's Ed Pollock (45) got the Green into a good position but once he departed it was a procession back to the pavilion as the visitors were all out for 154.
Zain Ul-Hassan showed some late spirit with 32 runs off 75 balls.
New Zealand international George Worker (6-29) and Jack Grundy (4-49) did the damage with the ball.
Worker then crashed 60 off 49 balls to provide the platform for K&D to ease to 155-4 in reply.
"It was a good toss to win and Ed put us in a good position but we lost a cluster of wickets which put us behind," said Sutton.
"When you get bowled out for 150 it's going to take a blinding effort from your bowlers to win the game.
"Not batting out your overs is criminal in this division."

Despite sheriff's support, Chesterfield County's opioid committee tables needle exchange

Chesterfield County Sheriff Karl Leonard sees firsthand the devastation that the ongoing opioid epidemic wreaks in his county, as more and more people enter his jail with an addiction and a hepatitis C infection.
He's been openly supportive of starting a needle-exchange program, otherwise known as comprehensive harm reduction, for the past year because they can help prevent the spread of hepatitis C and HIV and they offer direct links to treatment for injection drug users.
But the rest of the county doesn't seem ready to move forward.
Over the summer, Chesterfield's Opioid Steering Committee decided to, "table that and not pursue the needle exchange program," Leonard said. He added that the committee knew his position on the topic.
"My concern is this is still a very critical crisis we're in," he said.
In a statement, Sarah Snead, deputy county administrator for health services and the committee's chair, said the group decided to "continue to watch what's happening in other localities.
"The county is committed to a long-term, measured approach to fight this nationwide epidemic," the statement reads. "A subcommittee was established to develop an implementation plan related to harm reduction, including HIV and tuberculosis testing, counseling and education, and referrals to community resources."
Without the committee's support, there isn't much hope of starting a program, Leonard said.
The law on Virginia's books that legalizes needle exchanges says that support from local law enforcement agencies — which has so far been the sticking point in other localities — and from the locality's governing body is required before launching one.
"I am disappointed," Leonard said. "It's one of those things that I felt passionate about and I still do. But it brought a quick halt to my actions and I respect the committee and their decisions."
He added that he doesn't have much hope that the committee's decision will change.
The law legalizing the program is due to expire in 2020.
In an interview last week, Elaine Martin, director of HIV prevention services with the state's Department of Health, said the department is putting forward a legislative proposal for this upcoming General Assembly session to extend the sunset provision in the law, but that it has not put forward a proposal to change the law so organizations do not need letters of support to apply to start a program.
The programs not only offer injection drug users a safe place to dispose of their needles, they also offer clean equipment so that they don't spread bloodborne diseases while using. Public health officials laud the programs as gateways for addicts looking to seek treatment.
Even though Virginia legalized needle exchanges nearly 18 months ago, only two have opened in the state: in Wise County and just last month in Richmond. The Department of Health is hoping to announce a third program in Smyth County in the coming weeks.
The number of Chesterfield inmates who test positive for hepatitis C has steadily increased.
So far this year, 27 inmates in Chesterfield County tested positive for the bloodborne disease, compared to 28 for the whole of 2017, according to data provided by Dr. G. Mantovani Gay, the medical director for sheriff's office.
In 2013, only two inmates tested positive. Then, the numbers doubled from 7 to 14 between 2015 and 2016.
Gay noted in an email that the jail does not automatically test everyone for hepatitis C, but that inmates request to have the test performed.
The steady uptick in hepatitis C has been matched by the levels of addiction Leonard said his jail sees. This past month, the number of detainees with a heroin addiction was higher than it's been any month in the past three years, with 54 entering the county's jail, according to data that Leonard provided.
"It's still on the rise, it hasn't even started to level off yet," Leonard said. "We just want to see people do well. We don't want to see people harmed and ultimately we want to see everybody come off of the drugs. We're not asking for this drug use to be perpetuated by use of free needles. Our goal is to see all addiction end."

I love schnitzels but sometimes the meat is quite tough. Here is a small tip so that you always enjoy tender schnitzels. Always fry your schnitzels in a covered pan on a medium to low heat.
Are you celebrating a special occasion and you wish to serve a nice, cold champagne? Don't put the champagne in the fridge, because its aroma is altered. Better place the bottles in a bowl with ice cubes. The temperature will be perfect.
Does your recipe call for wine? Be adventurous. Try using brandy instead of wine. It will add a refined and distinctive aroma to your dish.

M2 Chip – New Breakthrough Chapter of Apple Silicon Begins
June 6, 2022 June 8, 2022 Karan 0 Comments MacBook
On June 6, at WWDC 2022 keynote event, Apple unveiled the brand new Apple Silicon "M2 Chip," which powers the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 2022 models.
Today, Apple began the second generation of Apple Silicon designed specifically for the Mac. Unlike others in the industry who significantly increase power to gain performance, Apple's approach is different.
Apple is continue to have a relentless focus on power-efficient performance. Straightforwardly, maximizing the performance while minimizing the power consumption. Combined with Apple's unified memory architecture and custom technologies, which focuses on power efficiency allows the M2 chip to bring even more performance and new capabilities.
Technical Achievements of M2 Chip
M2 chip is built using an enhanced second-generation 5-nanometer technology and features over 20 billion transistors, which is 25% more than its predecessor. Apple uses these transistors to enhance every feature of the chip.
Memory Controller now delivers 100GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, which is 50% more than M1 for even greater performance, and the company also enabled up to 24GB of unified memory to handle even larger and more complex workloads.
Considerable CPU Enhancements
It features the next-generation CPU (Central Processing Unit) with the advancement in both performance and efficiency cores. The performance cores are faster and feature a large cache and the efficiency cores have been significantly enhanced for even greater performance gains while consuming very little power through CPU-intensive tasks.
The M2 chip delivers 18% greater performance than M1 when looking at the multi-core CPU performance, provides nearly 2x faster performance than the latest 10-core PC laptop chip, and it delivers the peak performance of the PC chip while using a quarter of the power.
When compared to a 12-core PC laptop chip, which needs dramatically more power to provide an increase in performance, M2 delivers nearly 90% of the peak performance of the 12-core chip while using just a quarter of the power.
Twice GPU Performance
The M2 also has a 10-core GPU (doubles M1) that is capable of delivering a big boost of 25% in the graphics performance at the same power level as the M1 and up to 35% higher performance at its peak.
Lastly, It also features Apple's next-generation of Secure Enclave and Neural Engine that can process up to 15.8 trillion transistors operations per second, which is over 40% more than its predecessor so the processor can now able to play back multiple 4K and 8K video streams.
You can know more about the new Apple Silicon chip on the company's official website.

In this season of life, there are days when I feel frustrated about my limitations. I want to have as much energy as I did when I was in my 30's and 40's. Living in simplicity and being content is my desire. According to Jesus' follower, Paul, "Godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6 ESV).
Godliness, according to Richard Swenson, author of CONTENTMENT: The Secret to a Lasting Calm is "an attitude whereby what we want is to please God". Contentment is an inward quality of my heart and simplicity is the outward lifestyle I am able to develop because of that contentment.
The following poem describes the kind of simplicity and contentment I desire to enjoy. On some days, it's a reality.
Thank you, Susan. God is a God of simplicity.
I can see you writing each line and the love in your heart. You are a gentle and sweet soul and we are blessed to read it in your kind words.
Thank you for your comment, Betsy! The love and gentleness of my soul are gifts of God's grace, a reflection of his love and gentleness.
I felt peaceful and content just reading this Jane! You have inspired me to make a list of simple things I enjoy doing and remember to pick some each week!
Thank you, Terry. I hope you will do so. May God bless you with peace and contentment.
Sharing your encouraging poem with a new dear sister in Ecuador! Thank you, Jane- God uses you to reach many.
Thank you so much for sharing my poem, Donna. God bless that sister in Ecuador!
So beautiful Jane. As read I felt the genuine contentment imbued in your words.
Judy, I'm thankful that in my writing the contentment that I was experiencing, and desire to grow in, was conveyed.
Thank you Jane. As always this is right on the mark. Be blessed.


For my 14th Birthday my theme was Iron Chef, like the tv show on the food network. I invited 12 people and we split into 2 teams.
My mom chose the secret ingredient needed in each of the three courses: appetizer, main entree, and desert. When the secret ingredient was revealed (which was cheese) we nominated three people from each team to go to the grocery store and get everything we would need for all three courses. Both of my parents were assigned to a team to drive and help with preparations.
THe competition began immediately after the secret ingredient was revealed.
WHen each team was ready they could leave for the grocery store so don't spend too much time planning out your grocery list. My parents got each of my friends an apron and we put their names, or nicknames on the front. THese were required to be worn at all times in the grocery store.
While those 3 people from each team were at the grocery store the rest of us started making whatever we already had that was to be used in our meals.
WE have two kitchens so the other team couldn't see what we were making. If you don't have 2 kitchens ask a neighbor if you could use their kitchen for a couple of hours. THere was a time limit in which all of the foods needed to be done. WE asked 2 people to come and judge (the 2 judges were my mom's hair dresser and her nail person so that my team wouldn't be favored).
We gave samples to the judges and the rest of the food we made was our dinner. All of my friends had a blast.
