Before we enter the blog proper, I feel it is important to make a couple of excuses. Firstly, I'm sorry that there have been no new recipe posts in the past week or so, but what I shall call a 'negative life event' took place and I haven't found the time. However, we shan't go any further into that since I'm not, as you may know, much of a sharer – I simply don't feel the need. Secondly, this was supposed to be a post regarding a certain rhubarb, strawberry and orange compote. Unfortunately, the fates took time to collude against any honourable intentions I may have held and the photographing of the intended dessert fell flat on its face. I'm extremely glad to be back and I hope to bring you news of my recipe for individual rhubarb and custard galettes as soon as possible.
Clafoutis is a baked French dessert made primarily from a sweet, rich custard. They usually contain pitted black cherries, though, as one can see, they are by no means integral to the recipe. This dessert was first brought to my attention last Wednesday when my girlfriend and I were strolling contentedly through Hampstead, in London. We popped into what turned out to be a surprisingly reasonably-priced coffee shop, in which there were free samples of this delicious dessert. Indeed, so delicious was it that we resolved immediately to attempt it as soon as the opportunity presented itself. At this point we had no idea that it would be so simple – it would un-boggle the mind of even the staunchest of inane buffoons.
In the past fortnight Britain has undergone rather frightening extremes of weather. Though the weather has been mostly fine, rain has also been a frequent fixture; Aberystwyth received a month's worth of precipitation in a mere 24-hours. Indeed, this had the effect of swelling several rivers which consequently burst their banks, flooding at least three caravan parks, one of which actually had flood defences – isn't a little irony fun? Many people were working day and night to prevent basement flooding. Camping can be enjoyable, in the right situation, but spending a little extra on proper accommodation can often prove to be a decision well made.
There isn't an awful lot to say about this recipe, it does what it says on the tin. However, those of you concerned about the choice of flavour needn't be worried – it works beautifully. Strawberries, when soaked in pimms, take on a rather delicious flavour which causes the tongue to tingle a little, an experience best likened to the act of indulging in a sherbet dip. Anyway, I have rambled on for quite long enough and am in danger of alienating those of you who don't like to read more than 500 words in one sitting. Doing such a thing bores me to death if the writing is anything but exemplary. Please, enjoy this taste of the British summer!
1. Put the strawberries in a bowl, along with 1 tbsp of sugar and 45 ml of pimms. Allow to soak for an hour.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, 100g of sugar and flour. Pour the milk and cream into a pan and heat gently until they reach boiling point. Whisk the creamy mixture into the egg and sieve into a bowl. Cover and set aside until the strawberries have finished soaking.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C. Butter a large, but shall oven dish and sprinkle with sugar. We used two smaller dishes. Spoon the strawberries, along with a little of the pimms, into the dish. Pour the custard over the strawberries and bake until golden brown but just set – between 40 and 50 minutes.
Cost: The British strawberry season appears to be in full swing as they have really come down in price. As such, this sumptuous dessert should set one back around £3.60 – less than £1 per person.
hey frugal, you're hard to find on the "reader" ~ i might just have to subscribe!
Oh no! I contacted support and I was told to direct those of you who can;t find me to them. Definitely subscribe 😀 Thanks… it was bizarre.
2 of my favorite things. In a word- brilliant! Might you guest post this on my blog and i will convert to American measurements?
Thanks, Jereme. They were really lovely.
No. 1, I presume? Looks great, Frugal! I love clafoutis of all kinds.
Oh yes, should have mentioned that… Thanks, Michelle!
Thanks, Carol! Yes, we're dealing with it :D. Clafoutis always helps.
I will be making this for sure – I LOVE strawberries, the ultimate summer thing!
Thanks! I'm glad to be back. You definitely should!
Strawberries and pimms – glad you're embracing summer even if the weather isn't, Frugal! Brilliant idea for a summer clafloutis.
Thanks! It's the Brit in me… we attach ourselves to any sort of sunshine.
Sorry to hear of the negative life event but love this dessert! Delicious.
Thanks! It was SO nice.
Love it! I have guests for lunch tomorrow and this looks within my capabilities. I may try with rhubarb as have an abundance in the garden. Rhubarb and pimms? Could work.
Thanks! That would definitely work!
This is such a great, great idea!! Hope things are looking up for you.
oh that looks so so delicious!! i love the strawberries…yum!
Thanks! I'm so loving strawberries at the moment.
Wow. I love this. And I love Pimms.
Thanks! IT;s one of my favourite drinks.
A great take on a French classic – and strawberries soaked in pimms are indeed a delight!
Thanks, Claire! They really are – so tangy.
I can't believe I almost missed this (didn't come up on my WP Reader). I've never had Pimms or clafoutis but now I definitely want to try both – separately and together!
Oh no! Perhaps you should e-mail support about that? Apparently there's nothing wrong on my side (that's what they told me). You should. Pimms is INCREDIBLE.
Stunning! Will be making this when I am back home in Spain with some of my precious Pimms supply. Sorry to hear that things have not been so good recently, wishing you well.
Sounds like it's been a long couple of weeks, hope it's all good now. Lovely recipe!
Strawberry and Pimms? Together in a clafoutis? Wonderful idea!
Oh yes… these things have to be done. Thanks :D… no one wants the French to win really.
This is true. Kind of sad, really.
That sounds yummy too. I have a peach recipe on the horizon.
Very cool combo. I always add an extra shot though, just to give the cook a bit of fortification!
Yes, you totally must :D. Thanks!
Thanks! Isn't is just wonderful? Well, I'm not past it, but I've come to terms with it. Our weather is silly.
Wow! This looks ace. I literally just blogged a Strawberry and Pimms Tiramisu recipe just a week or so ago.
Thanks! What a coincidence – I shall check it out.
Mmmmm Pimms…..& strawberries….in a dessert, heaven. I'm just about to do a savoury clafoutis with cherries, goats cheese, purple basil & pistachios & having been scouring the shops all morning for a cherry pitter but to no avail! Just read another recipe where they leave the pips in, I'm going for that I think, desperation! It's my first clafoutis, wish me luck!
It was totally heavenly :D. That sounds amazing! I'll have to try it. You could always halve them?
Beautiful recipe to come back to!
Thank you for visiting my blog!! This recipe looks delicious!! I absolutely LOVE strawberries… I will have to try this soon!
No problem, Laura! I hope you do.
Beautiful but then you had me at strawberry and pimms. I oggled your food then I had a laugh about you saying booking proper accomodation would be wise in the rain and flooding – should of read that one before I went camping in the VW! Then I panicked when you said about the 500 words for a blog post – yes I know but it's so hard to tell a story in less than 500 words. I tell you what it will be my personal challenge but a tough one!
Haha – I had myself at strawberry and pimms. Oh a VW is fine, much better than a tent. Haha – I was always taught that a paragraph longer than 250 words isn't worth writing.
Haha – i'm sure it was still absolutely delicious.
Can't wait for the strawberry season to do this, it looks wonderful! Amazing and very inspiring blog, thank you!

#JewsandArabsRefusetobeEnemies
While the war in Gaza goes on under the effects of the israeli Protective Edge operation (the latest in a series of operations undertaken by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza in recent years).and the Hamas rocket shelling of israeli towns, two university classmates Abraham Gutman and Dania Darwish have launched the campaign #JewsandArabsRefusetobeEnemies. Gutman is a 21-year-old Jewish Israeli, while Darwish is a 23-year-old Muslim. The campaign launched in Twitter has gone viral (it can also be accessed at Facebook) and aims to underline the basic human nature of both Peoples and that there is no fundamental reason why they could not live together, in peace and fairness.
Perhaps if, on one side, the messianic dream of Eretz Israel was abandoned and, on the other, atavistic hate was extinguished, the objective of the campaign would have a chance. As things stand, it is unlikely, but not less praiseworthy for trying.

America's "high moral ground" in Syria
Posted on August 27, 2013 by TheYogiRock
Drums of war again. Among unproved allegations of a chemical attack by the Syrian government against its own people, the USA is preparing to go to war, again, and topple the Syrian regime. Not that the Syrian regime is a model one and that deserves praise, but if the allegations of a chemical attack are false, why the relentless march forward of America towards war? There is a geostrategic reason behind it, one that we explored in our previous post Arab Spring, Arab Fall & where it all began, in which we described how Wesley Clark, already in 2001 shortly after the S11 attacks, discovered the blueprint of a plan for a domino-like makeover of most of the Middle East countries, a plan that looking back 12 years into the future, has been executed in all but Syria and Iran. The main beneficiary of such a plan is "the one that cannot be named".
Syria is a special case though. It is the place where the forces opposing the banking oligarchy that controls the West have decided to make a stand. Not that they care much about the Syrian population, but they care about their interests. These forces are Russia, China and Iran.
America seems to be willing to risk a bigger confrontation and seems to be prepared to justify it with a False Flag operation, which is what the chemical attack allegations seem to be given the fact that the Syrian government, winning the war against "the rebels", has little to gain and lots to lose by perpetrating such a crime. It would not be the first time and it will most likely not be the last given the nature of the present day USA.
A different issue is whether the USA has any high moral ground on which to base its case for war. We believe that it has none, the country and its owners discredited after the Iraq War based, also (?), on false allegations of use of weapons of mass destruction, and the continuous use of drones in bombing operations, undeclared wars in foreign countries not authorized by the american Congress, where thousands of civilians have been killed or severely injured, like the girl in the photo above, victim of a USA drone attack perpetrated in Pakistan in 2011. High moral ground or shifing moral sands?. The latter.

TYR reads "The Real Reason Behind War"
Posted on October 3, 2012 by TheYogiRock
by James E. Miller of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Canada
First some excerpts, then a comment, and finally the article.
The excerpts:
"As economist Joseph Salerno notes: We thus arrive at a universal, praxeological truth about war. War is the outcome of class conflict inherent in the political relationship – the relationship between ruler and ruled, parasite and producer, tax-consumer and taxpayer. The parasitic class makes war with purpose and deliberation in order to conceal and ratchet up their exploitation of the much larger productive class. Thus, a permanent state of war or preparedness for war is optimal from the point of view of the ruling elite, especially one that controls a large and powerful state."
"Using war as both a diversion and a cover for imperialistic motives is best exemplified by the ongoing tension between the state of Israel and Iran. "
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is so determined to put the boot down on a nuclear Iran that he is actively interfering with the U.S. presidential election with the hope of obtaining military assistance. He arrogantly carries on this crusade even though there is no evidence of a weapons program and the Iranian government remains a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty."
"So why does Netanyahu desperately want war with Iran? "
"..as former Assistant Secretary to the U.S. Treasury and Wall Street Journal editor Paul Craig Roberts points out: the real agenda hiding behind the hysterical concern about an Iranian nuke, is the rightwing Israeli government's design on the water resources of southern Lebanon."
"The Israeli government knows that it cannot be forthright and say that it wants Americans to go to war with Iran so that Israel can steal southern Lebanon. But if fear over nonexistent nukes can muster the Western populations to support an attack on Iran, Iran can be eliminated as Hizbollah's supplier, and Israel can steal the water from Lebanon."
"The undertaking of war masks this reality for a short period while accelerating the pace at which liberty is stripped away. In the end, wars are waged to fulfill the sadistic desires of government leaders and to give them an opening to tighten their grip on society. The parasitic class which makes up the state doesn't just war with other states; it conducts war against the citizens it claims to protect."
The comment:
The central idea of the article is that war is always a deliberate policy, exercised by the elites that control the state for their own purposes, which are not the protection of the citizens of the states under whose banners they hide.
This idea has already been expressed before. Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, one of the most colorful officers in the Marine Corps' long history, was one of the two Marines who received two Medals of Honor for separate acts of outstanding heroism. General Butler was still in his teens when, on 20 May 1898, he was appointed a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps during the Spanish-American War. In the early part of the last century General Butler led assault troops in Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Haiti. He was a regimental commander in France during World War I and later served in China. On 1 October 1931, he was retired upon his own application after completion of 33 years' service in the Marine Corps. Major General Butler died at the Naval Hospital, Philadelphia, on 21 June 1940, following a four-week illness. After his retirement General Butler wrote a book, War is a Racket, which begins as follows:
"WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.".
To mark the 11year anniversary of the Afghanistan occupation, the death toll for the U.S. military reached two thousand. The soldier who had the misfortune of both dying and becoming a stark symbol of America's longest running war died under unusual circumstances. Instead of being killed while on patrol, the unnamed soldier was the victim of an "apparent insider attack" that was conducted by American-backed Afghan forces. This latest incident comes one week after an announcement by NATO that it would scale back its operations with Afghan security forces after a spike in insider attacks. At the time of the announcement, a total of fifty one NATO troops had been killed by soldiers wearing Afghan uniforms.
This upsurge in violence committed by supposed allies remains a challenge to the U.S. military which is attempting to arm and train a suitable domestic security force to leave behind as the troop drawdown deadline of late 2014 approaches. As the Associated Press reports, the internal attacks are "undermining the mantra that both sides are fighting the Taliban "shoulder to shoulder.""
The AP comment is representative of the American public's understanding of the so-called War on Terror. Since the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2011, Americans, as well as most Westerners, are under the impression that the U.S. government and its allies are waging war with the Taliban and Al Qaeda. These radical Islamic terrorist groups are said to threaten America's way of life. In the words of former President George Bush on the evening of 9/11, "America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world."
This line of reasoning ignores the decades of intervention conducted by the American military and intelligence apparatus which resulted in the deaths of thousands, the overthrow of democratically elected leaders, and financial support for repressive dictators. Yet as neoconservatives and liberals alike still appeal to this notion to justify American "leadership," it becomes preposterous in the face of revelations that U.S. tax dollars areaiding rebel militants suspected of being members of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. According to the Centre for Research on Globalization, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently pledged $45 million in "non-lethal aid" to the opposition currently trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. This "opposition" is labeled as civilian but is actually partly comprised of foreign terrorist brigades including the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. The LIFG, which is labeled a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department,is described by the United Nations as "an Al-Qaeda affiliate." And as the State Departmentspeculated back in 2011, Al-Qaeda "was believed to be extending its reach into Syria and seeking to exploit the popular uprising against the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad." The Libyan fighters now in Syria also played a crucial role in the overthrowing of former leader Muammar Gaddafi that was supported militarily and financially by the U.S. government.
As Texas Congressman Ron Paul described it,
In Libya we worked with, among others, the rebel Libyan Fighting Group (LIFG) which included foreign elements of al-Qaeda. It has been pointed out that the al-Qaeda affiliated radicals we fought in Iraq were some of the same groups we worked with to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya. Last year in a television interview I predicted that the result of NATO's bombing of Libya would likely be an increased al-Qaeda presence in the country. I said at the time that we may be delivering al-Qaeda another prize.
Not long after NATO overthrew Gaddafi, the al Qaeda flag was flown over the courthouse in Benghazi.
Such truths may strike the heart of those who unquestioningly support the U.S. government's War on Terror. It isn't just hypocritical that the enemy is being funded by the same people they target, it is a slap in the face of all those who lost their lives on the day the World Trade Centers fell to the ground. American lawmakers claim to be on the side of freedom and democracy even when they support not only the arming of accused terrorists but also other dictators such as King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
If the U.S. government was truly fighting the War on Terror to rid the world of violent extremists and iron-fist authoritarians, it wouldn't be aiding and abetting their crimes. So what is the purpose of war then?
The waging of total war is not an act carried out irrationally or on a whim. Like all human action, it is purposeful and used to achieve particular ends. And unlike armed conflict between private individuals, war is generally defined as being fought by one or more institutions known as the state. The state is unique institution in that it holds, as famed sociologist Max Weber defined it, "the claim to the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force in the enforcement of its order." This arrogated authority gives the enforcers of the state the legal right to plunder whatever citizenry happens to be living under their rule. Whereas in the private sphere all dealings are voluntary by nature, the state's operations are financed solely through force. This creates a kind of tension between those coerced into paying and those who live off the proceeds. War with foreigners can thus be seen as a kind of distraction from the exploitive state of affair known as state governance.
As economist Joseph Salerno notes,
We thus arrive at a universal, praxeological truth about war. War is the outcome of class conflict inherent in the political relationship – the relationship between ruler and ruled, parasite and producer, tax-consumer and taxpayer. The parasitic class makes war with purpose and deliberation in order to conceal and ratchet up their exploitation of the much larger productive class.
Thus, a permanent state of war or preparedness for war is optimal from the point of view of the ruling elite, especially one that controls a large and powerful state.
Historically, freedom has been trampled upon with little remorse or protest during war. Enhanced domestic surveillance, the outlawing of political dissent, the internment of suspected enemies without due process, robust inflationary policy, higher government spending, increased taxation, and stifling economic intervention are all common occurrences during war. They are policies that in the absence of war would garner a greater amount of pushback from the public. Even more crucial is the effect war has on national identity. Simple reasoning says that government is composed of a small group of individuals; it does not represent in some metaphysical sense all of "the people." This distinction is blurred and forgotten during war however as those who insist on fighting appeal to emotion rather than reason. With the media's assistance, allegiance to the state is championed as a display of support for war. Dissenters are openly ridiculed as unpatriotic and friends of the enemy. As Randolph Bourne wrote in his renowned essay "War is the Health of the State"
The moment war is declared, however, the mass of the people, through some spiritual alchemy, become convinced that they have willed and executed the deed themselves. They then, with the exception of a few malcontents, proceed to allow themselves to be regimented, coerced, deranged in all the environments of their lives, and turned into a solid manufactory of destruction toward whatever other people may have, in the appointed scheme of things, come within the range of the Government's disapprobation. The citizen throws off his contempt and indifference to Government, identifies himself with its purposes, revives all his military memories and symbols, and the State once more walks, an august presence, through the imaginations of men. Patriotism becomes the dominant feeling, and produces immediately that intense and hopeless confusion between the relations which the individual bears and should bear toward the society of which he is a part.
Using war as both a diversion and a cover for imperialistic motives is best exemplified by the ongoing tension between the state of Israel and Iran. Western media figures have done their best to portray the rulers of Iran as lunatics hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is so determined to put the boot down on a nuclear Iran that he is actively interfering with the U.S. presidential election with the hope of obtaining military assistance. He arrogantly carries on this crusade even though there is no evidence of a weapons program and the Iranian government remains a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
So why does Netanyahu desperately want war with Iran? Why does he insist with childish tactics such as presenting a picture of a cartoon bomb before the United Nations even as amajority of Israelis and military leaders are opposed to a unilateral attack? And why must the attack be imminent when U.S. intelligence has indicated that it would take years for the Iranian regime to weaponize their current nuclear program?
Wars aren't fought because the ruling class that instigates them lacks a good reason. In the case of Netanyahu and Israel, there are a variety of explanations why state leaders see mass murder as beneficial to their cause. First, with bank profits falling and economic growth slowing down, Israel's economy is showing recessionary signs. War would be a preoccupation from a deteriorating job market. Second, there has been little noise made over the people of Palestine and their struggle for statehood since the hysteria over Iranian nukes has picked up. And lastly, as former Assistant Secretary to the U.S. Treasury and Wall Street Journal editor Paul Craig Roberts points out
The real agenda hiding behind the hysterical concern about an Iranian nuke, is the rightwing Israeli government's design on the water resources of southern Lebanon.
Twice the Israeli government sent the Israeli army into southern Lebanon to occupy and eventually annex the territory. And twice Hizbollah defeated and drove out the vaunted Israeli army.
The conventional validation for perpetual war in the Middle East does not hold when looked at rationally. When the ideas of nationalism and statist glory are wiped away, the state appears as it really is: institutionalized exploitation of the masses by the few. The undertaking of war masks this reality for a short period while accelerating the pace at which liberty is stripped away. In the end, wars are waged to fulfill the sadistic desires of government leaders and to give them an opening to tighten their grip on society. The parasitic class which makes up the state doesn't just war with other states; it conducts war against the citizens it claims to protect.

The "democratic" decision making process in the democratic national convention 2012: Jerusalem
Posted on September 6, 2012 by TheYogiRock
Yesterday, the Democratic Party of the USA, in its democratic national convention, decided to reinstate in its party platform the assertion that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, a highly controversial issue. This resolution of the Democratic Party is in opposition to the official diplomatic stance of the USA. It is specially remarkable the "democratic" process by which the motion was approved. The video enclosed in the article of Yahoo News is worth watching.

Hallmark Channel is making an unusual move. They've decided to change their Signed, Sealed, Delivered series from a regular weekly series to a series of two-hour movies on sister channel Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
The first new movie — Signed, Sealed, Delivered For Christmas — will air on November 23rd. Three more films are expected for 2015.
Crown Media Family Networks announced today that Hallmark Channel original weekly scripted series, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," executive produced and written by Martha Williamson (Executive Producer of "Touched by an Angel"), will move to sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as a movie franchise consisting of a series of two-hour original films. Debuting on November 23 at 9pm ET/PT, 8C, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered For Christmas" will be the first movie in the franchise, with three more slated for 2015.
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will introduce viewers to the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" franchise by airing a marathon of the series on Saturday, October 11 from 11am – 11pm ET/PT, 10C.
Returning as the "POstables," Oliver O'Toole (Eric Mabius, "Ugly Betty"), Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth, "Orphan Black"), Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe, "Smallville") and Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson "Primeval: New World") will take millions of viewers on new adventures as they uncover the mysteries of lost missives and return them to their intended recipients, profoundly changing lives in the process.
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a comedic drama that follows the lives of a group of postal workers who transform themselves into an untraditional team of detectives to track down intended recipients of undeliverable mail. Their missions take them out of the office into an unpredictable world where redirected letters and packages can save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves and change futures by arriving late but somehow on time.
"Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a Muse Entertainment production in association with MoonWater Productions. Executive Producers are Martha Williamson ("Touched by an Angel"), Joel S. Rice ("Cyberbully") and Michael Prupas ("The Kennedys"). Harvey Kahn ("The Haunting Hour") is the producer.
Recently rebranded from Hallmark Movie Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is a 24-hour digital cable network featuring a unique mix of content, including all new original movies that are dramatic, cinematic and thought-provoking; new original mystery movies that focus on the lighter side of the suspense genre, as well as classic acquired series such as Murder She Wrote, Matlock, and Perry Mason. The network is also home to annual holiday programming franchise, the Most Wonderful Movies of Christmas, as well as presentations from the award-winning Hallmark Hall of Fame library. One of television's leading destinations for compelling family-friendly entertainment, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries can be seen in 55 million homes in SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) and remains one of the fastest-growing networks in cable. Along with sister network, Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is the second linear channel from Crown Media Holdings, Inc.
What do you think? Is this a good move? Would you prefer that it continue as a weekly series or are you okay with a series of movies instead?

Would the real Mr. Reagan please stand up?
By Steven H. Hanke Steven H. Hanke, a former senior economist on President Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers, is a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C.
That was two years ago. Since then the administration has continued to talk tough but spend at a rate which, adjusted for inflation, is more than double that achieved by the Carter administration.
This pattern of double talk and policy flip-flops now appears to be a hallmark of the Reagan administration. The most recent episode concerns ''public works'' spending. In the President's ''Program for Economic Recovery,'' he stated that ''given the instability in the U. S. economy, the budget reform plan requires that in the short run (public-sector capital-investment programs) be stretched out or delayed.'' Well, all this was changed on Feb. 10, 1983, when the President sent James A. Baker III, David A. Stockman, Kenneth Duberstein, and Richard G. Darman to Capitol Hill with ''good news'': the President proposed a speedup in spending on public works as part of the so-called jobs bill. This, of course, delighted House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill and House Majority Leader Jim Wright, and set the stage for another Reagan-O'Neill embrace.
* First and foremost, public works programs crowd out private employment opportunities. Regardless of whether public works are financed by increased taxes, user fees, or public borrowing, private investment is ultimately reduced and private-sector jobs and productivity suffer.
* Second, public works projects require long gestation periods. Consequently , they have their effects on public employment long after economic recovery is under way. As a result, these programs are destabilizing. For example, the peak of added public employment associated with the Accelerated Public Works Program of 1962 came a full 37 months after the bottom of the recession, and 90 percent of the public works outlays to stimulate recovery from the 1974-75 recession came 2.5 years after the recession's trough.
* Third, federal spending on public works often is nothing more than a substitute for state and local spending that would have taken place in any event. For example, as a result of the Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976 and the Public Works Employment Act of 1977, state and local public works expenditures fell substantially in 1976 and 1977, and total government spending on these projects, about $22 billion, was postponed.
* Fourth, public works programs are of limited value to participants. For example, public works jobs are of short duration. Public jobs created by the programs initiated in 1976 and 1977 lasted an average of only 3.5 weeks. Moreover, only 12 percent of the jobs generated by these programs went to workers who had been previously unem-ployed.
Armed with his original blueprint, hard evidence, and subsequent advice from his economic advisers, we must ask: ''Why has the President so consistently engaged in double talk and policy flip-flops?'' Although we cannot offer a definitive answer, perhaps the following story will shed some light on the issue.
Given the President's performance, it appears that he is unwittingly following Woodrow Wilson's example.


Abandonment: it is a word we in the chronic illness community know far too well. Life often times feel like a revolving door of new people entering and exiting our lives. Some are ready to stay but others already having plans to leave right after walking through the door of our lives. We hear the phrase "I will always be here for you" over and over again like a broken record only to find ourselves alone in a hospital room wondering where the people who would 'always be there' went.
When illness strikes having a true and caring support system is one of the most important aspects to finding happiness again. About a year after the onset of my illness I met a woman named Chrissy, who was later nicknamed my big sister due to her compassionate and giving nature. Regardless of the fact that Chrissy herself does not suffer from a chronic illness she has stuck by my side through the many trials and tribulations of my health. Coming across people like Chrissy can completely change your outlook on life itself. Because I have found someone who sees everything I am and refuses to let me be anything less it made me see the potential in myself again. To be honest I feel as though I owe the credit of my success and happiness to her.
It is people like Chrissy who made me realize my life wasn't over because of my illness; a new life had just begun. It's no secret that chronic illness is a source of stress and its presence also brings the stress of who should I tell and how much should I tell. Those who keep their illness concealed misuse their energy. Those who put their energy into keeping a guard up put even more stress on their lives. We must use our energy to inspire and spread awareness about the every day struggles of our health. The most common causes of illness secrecy are not wanting to be labeled as 'sick', not wanting to answer intrusive questions, being hurt over insensitive comments, fear of losing friends, not wanting to be known as a complainer, and being seen as less than due to illness. However, these are the risks we must take in order to uncover support. To be honest I cannot count the amount of people who have chosen to leave due to my illness but as much as it pained me to unearth those who were truly not there for me I never would have found the few that are sincerely here to stay.
After becoming ill I myself faced the question of who to tell and how much to tell. I lost many nights sleep and much fortitude over the stress of simply finding emotional support with my illness. Doctors can try to fix your body but it is within yourself to find those willing to help you fix your mindset. The more I told Chrissy about the struggles of my health the more I realized a true friend is not someone who will be there for only the happy pieces of life, but someone who will love the imperfect you, the confused you, the wrong you, and obviously the sick you. Most importantly I would like to thank Chrissy Sedgley. Thank you for not only being a piece of my life but positively changing my life and building me into the person I was meant to become.

Oil spills can cause more long-term environmental damage than previously thought of
Published: Monday 15 July 2002
oil spills could mean far worse for the environment than they have been blamed for till date, shows a recent study conducted in the Galapagos Islands located off the coast of Ecuador. In January 2001 the tanker Jessica, belonging to Petrocomercial, an arm of the Ecuadorian state oil company, had run aground, dunking 150,000 gallons of oil into the ocean around the island of San Cristbal. At that time it was suggested that the damage had been limited thanks to shifting winds that had kept the spilled oil away from the main island.
But the study, conducted by Martin Wikelski, a professor at the us-based Princeton University, has shown that a small part of the spill's residual had subtly caused ecological devastation -- it had killed nearly 60 per cent of the island's iguanas. About 15,000 of the 25,000 Amblyrhynchus cristatus iguanas of the island had starved to death because of the spill.
The specific species of iguanas digest seaweed that they take in from the water. The oil spill, shows the research, killed the bacteria that helps the iguanas digest the seaweed. As a consequence of this only about 10,000 of them had survived starvation.
Judith E McDowell, zoologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, usa, told the media that the Galapagos findings, though still lacking specific evidence of the toxic effects, are compelling proof. "The circumstantial evidence would certainly suggest that oil exposure was a critical factor in the iguana mass killing," he said. McDowell is the author of another recent paper that has revealed hitherto unknown long-term ill effects of oil spills.
Wikelski had been studying the iguanas for effects of El Nio on their ecology when the spill occurred. He is now seeking us $600,000 in damages as part of a wider us $14 million claim being made by Galapagos National Park against the master, owners and insurers of Jessica. He says his studies of marine iguanas in the Galapagos Islands were damaged due to the spill.

Hanul din Spessart (titlul original: în ) este un film de comedie vest-german, realizat în 1958 de regizorul Kurt Hoffmann, după Das Wirtshaus im Spessart (1827) al scriitorului Wilhelm Hauff, protagoniști fiind actorii Liselotte Pulver și Carlos Thompson.

Rezumat

Contesa Franziska este în drum spre Würzburg cu logodnicul ei, baronul Sperling, servitoarea ei și un pastor. În Spessart, trăsura cvartetului are brusc un accident. Adevărul însă, este vorba despre o bandă de tâlhari, când Franziska și tovarășii ei se opresc la un han, tâlharii îi așteaptă deja și îi atacă. Ei o iau pe Contesă ca ostatică pentru a primi o răscumpărare de la tatăl ei. Franziska reușește să scape, travestită în haine bărbătești. Dar când tatăl ei refuză să plătească răscumpărarea pentru ceilalți ostatici și mai trimite în schimb militarii la hanul din Spessart, tânăra se întoarce la ascunzătoarea tâlharilor.

The Rise Of The T-Pose
Episode 1 | The T-Pose is Born | Part 1
It all started last year. The T-Pose profile picture trend began, consuming profile pictures on Scratch and turning them into T-Poses. You all know that story. But what if I told you it was a lie...? What if I told you the true story of the T-Pose...?
It was a nice morning, not too warm, not too cold, and the sun was shining. "Morning, Lord Pug!" said Potato, a 12-year-old child genius who had just moved to Scratchtown. "Good morning Potato!" said her chubby, potato-shaped pug. They lived in a large house in the center of Scratchtown, not far from the high street. "Wait, is that the phone ringing?" asked Potato as she ran downstairs to stop the annoying ringing.
"Hello?" she said. "Hey there," said the voice from the other end "I'm from the Scratch Secret Services. I'm here to ask you if you are interested in a mission." "Okay... What's the mission?" "Ah. It's classified. We don't want anyone listening in on this call, do we? Come over to the Scratch Secret Services base in London and I'll tell you all you need to know." "But where in London?" "Don't worry, I'll send someone over to drive you there tomorrow morning at 10 am." "Okay."
The next day, Potato woke up to find Lord Pug sitting in the kitchen looking at a huge chocolate cake, big enough to feed at least a hundred people.
"Can I eat the cake before we leave?" asked Lord Pug, looking longingly at the cake.
"No! Of course not! That cake is bigger than you and we need to leave in 10 minutes," Potato said sternly, "It's not good for you to eat a cake bigger than you just before going on a long car journey."
Lord Pug did his best pleading face.
"Awwww. Please?" said Lord Pug.
"No," said Potato.
"Puggy pwease," said Lord Pug, doing puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. But only a slice," said Potato, cutting a teeny tiny slice from the humongous cake.
Lord Pug swallowed the slice in one go and hopped off the table, bouncing towards the door.
"9.59," said Potato "The driver's gonna be here soon"
A car pulled up and a teenager, only a few years older than Potato got out.
"Hi. This is Agent Henry from the Scratch Secret Services. You're Pug and Potato, right?" he said.
"Lord Pug," grumbled Lord Pug.
"Sorry, Lord Pug and Potato,"
"That's better,"
"Come on Pug, don't be rude," said Potato, grinning.
Lord Pug growled and jumped up at Potato's face.
"That's a feisty little Pug you got there," Agent Henry whispered.
"I know right," Potato said.
"What are you two talking about?" growled Lord Pug.
"Nothing," said Potato and Henry.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..." said Lord Pug "I'm watching you..."
To be continued in Part 2...

SQL Server scalability is high on the list of system properties, and scaling up is easier than scaling out. Follow these four tips and you'll be on your way to optimum performance.
Scaling out a SQL Server environment across multiple systems can be a difficult and complicated project, involving partitioned databases, federation and more. So, when it comes to SQL Server scalability, most organizations prefer to scale individual systems up as much as possible before trying to tackle the out option. Here are four tips for making the scale-up process easier and more effective.
Maximize SQL Server performance components. Every server's performance comes down to four basic components: memory, disk storage, network adapters and CPU. Your first step will be to maximize all four of these components in an existing server.
Start with memory – it can have the biggest impact and it's usually the most easily expanded piece of a server. There is just one limitation: On servers running a 32-bit version of Windows, there's no reason to have more than 4 GB of total RAM installed, because the operating system can't make use of more than that. On 64-bit machines running 64-bit versions of Windows and SQL Server, install as much RAM as the server can hold to get the best performance from SQL Server.
In fact, if you have any SQL Server instances running on 32-bit versions of Windows, migrate them to a 64-bit machine as your very first step, because enabling your systems to address that additional memory is one of the biggest performance improvements you can make. And don't be cheap on memory; buy whatever your server manufacturer recommends, which is often more expensive, error-correcting, high-speed memory. It's worth the expense.
Before you even begin looking at ramping up SQL Server scalability, make sure you're getting maximum value and performance from the hardware you already have and the IT infrastructure that supports it.
Storage is the next thing you'll look at. It's a big topic, and it takes up its own tip later in this article. Suffice to say that faster storage performance is always a good thing.
Network connectivity is third. Plenty of SQL Server computers get performance-bound at the network adapter level. If you can afford them, multiple network adapters will provide multiple paths to your network. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) adapters should be a minimum for SQL Server computers, and if your network can support 10 GbE, then go for it. It's especially important that your computers use a separate network and have at least one network adapter for every major use.
For example, if you're relying on iSCSI for storage communications, data transfers should be happening over a dedicated network interface controller (NIC) and a dedicated network, not over networks that are shared by client traffic.
Finally, examine your server's processors. They are last on this list for a reason: It's rare that you can upgrade them in a cost-effective fashion. That's because of the way processors are matched to their motherboards, which typically are designed for a specific family and generation of CPUs. To install significantly faster processors, you often have to get a new motherboard – and that usually means new memory and new everything else. In other words, a whole new server.
Adding more processors, if your server has room for them, will add some kick – with upgrades, more is always preferable to slightly faster. But here again, your options might be limited: Most servers are purchased with fully populated sockets, leaving no room for additional processors.
Virtualize when it makes sense. Believe it or not, virtualization can be a clever way to bring about performance benefits from SQL Server. It seems counterintuitive; after all, the point of virtualization is to run multiple workloads on a single host computer. So, by dedicating a single computer entirely to SQL Server, wouldn't you get better SQL Server performance?
Generally speaking, you would. If you have one SQL Server database that can keep an entire physical server completely occupied, then do just that. Many organizations, however, load their SQL Server systems with multiple databases or even multiple instances. There's nothing wrong with that – it's what SQL Server was designed for, in fact – but it doesn't give you much flexibility for matching workloads with the available hardware resources.
Instead, move those databases that need less than an entire physical server into a virtual machine. SQL Server is a great virtual-machine guest application, and by separating your databases across multiple SQL Server instances, each hosted in different virtual machines, you gain flexibility. Using live migration technologies, you can quickly move virtual machines from host to host, rearranging the virtual machines to best utilize available hardware based on current workload demands.
You can pull off similar tricks with clustering technologies, including Windows Cluster Service. Partition your databases into different clustered SQL Server instances (a SQL Server instance is, after all, a form of virtualization). You can then move those instances around at will, with very little interruption in database availability. If Database A needs to be scaled up one afternoon, shift other instances off of that database's cluster node, freeing up resources for use by the instance that's getting hammered. This kind of dynamic scaling can produce impressive performance results, although it does require your organization to develop a mature performance monitoring and response model.
If you're going to be spending big money on new server hardware, it makes sense to do so in conjunction with some kind of shared-resources scheme, such as clustering or virtualization. That way you'll have your expensive new hardware working as close as possible to its maximum capacity at all times while still delivering the performance your users require.
Upgrade storage performance. The size of your storage systems is driven by the capacity needs of your databases; the speed of those storage systems is something too often overlooked. In the SQL Server world, disk storage speed is king. SQL Server is most likely to become I/O-bound before memory, network adapters or processors become an issue. You want storage that's fast. That means putting storage area networks (SANs) on the other end of hyper-fast fiber-optic connections, and using fast SAN protocols such as iSCSI to communicate with your disks.
Pay close attention to the exact kind of workload your database handles and match storage technologies such as RAID to that workload. RAID 5, for example, offers recoverability in the event of a device failure, but it can slightly slow down write times because the extra striping information, which enables data recovery, must be written along with each update.
Fast disk-controller electronics can help resolve that issue by caching data as fast as the server sends it, and then quickly dumping the data to platters. Every element of the storage subsystem plays a crucial role in performance – platter rotational speed, raw device I/O, average seek times, communications media (copper or fiber). Work with an experienced storage vendor to put together a system that offers the best performance for SQL Server.
If money is an issue, skimp on processor speed, and even memory, before you skimp on storage. Storage performance will go a long way toward scaling SQL Server up, up, up.
Invest in new servers. At some point, you're going to look at your existing servers and realize that you can't squeeze any more performance out of them. Your storage I/O is as fast as it's going to get. You've maxed out the memory. Every processor slot is full. The boxes are bristling with 10 GbE NICs, and they have enough cooling fans to power a hovercraft. In those cases, it's easy to talk yourself into new servers (although your chief financial officer might still argue the point with you).
What's tougher is to look at a server that clearly has room for expansion and decide to ditch it for a new one. When you're looking at empty memory slots, available CPU sockets and desolate PCI backplanes, it seems much more cost-effective to start filling in those holes with new, performance-enhancing components.
Sometimes that's a great idea. Sometimes you need to resist the urge.
First of all, never spend a dime upgrading a 32-bit computer. Replace it with a 64-bit one and install 64-bit versions of Windows and SQL Server. Load the new server with RAM aplenty, four or more multicore processors, and fast new NICs.
One last thought on SQL Server scalability: Any server more than four or five years old should be replaced, not upgraded. The cost to add memory or processors to an older server is often too close to what a brand-new server would cost, and a new server comes with lots of performance upgrades you couldn't buy a la carte: faster BIOS circuits, faster chipsets, faster memory bridges. That old server can still find useful life as a file server, or it can handle some other, less-intense workload than running SQL Server.

New House, Senate Bills Pursue National 5G Strategy, Security
A bipartisan House bill pursues a U.S. strategy to protect 5G wireless networks from alleged security threats posed by foreign suppliers -- such as Huawei.
by D. Howard Kass • May 23, 2019
A newly introduced bipartisan House bill advocates for a national strategy to protect build outs of 5G wireless technology from alleged security threats posed by foreign suppliers, such as Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei.
The Secure 5G and Beyond Act, sponsored by Rep. Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and five other Congressional members, would require the administration to develop an unclassified, national strategy to protect U.S. consumers and assist allies in maximizing the security of their 5G telecommunications systems. The strategy would also promote research and development by U.S. companies to improve broadband access to all Americans.
> Related: The Huawei Banned List — Countries and Companies, and their Policies for the hardware provider
"The growing prominence of 5G telecommunications systems in China and abroad, particularly through Huawei, should concern all Americans," said Spanberger. "To protect our national security and maintain our economic strength, we must build a nationwide game plan to strengthen our mobile networks and protect the privacy of American families," she said. "Safeguarding Americans' access to the next generation of telecommunications should never be a partisan issue."
Huawei: 5G Network and Cybersecurity Concerns
Concern over the security from Chinese government surveillance of Huawei's technology has grown in a number of countries, particularly in the U.S. and U.K. but also in Australia, Canada and Germany. Not only is Huawei barred from bidding for government contracts in the U.S. but Congress has also urged European countries to refrain from using its gear to build new 5G telecom networks.
Specifically, Spanberger's bill would require the administration to build an inter-agency strategy to:
Secure 5th generation and future-generation telecommunications systems and infrastructure across the U.S.
Assist U.S. allies and defense partners in maximizing the security of 5G systems and infrastructure in their countries.
Protect the competitiveness of U.S. companies, the privacy of U.S. consumers, and the integrity of international standards-setting bodies against foreign political influence.
The Secure 5G and Beyond Act is companion legislation to a bill introduced in the Senate by Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Richard Burr (R-NC). The Senate version has been referred to the Senate Commerce Committee.
Last week, the Commerce Department added Huawei to its list of blacklisted trade groups. However, it's not a completely shut door. The agency said on Monday that it had granted a 90-day license for mobile phone companies and internet broadband providers to work with Huawei to keep existing networks online and protect users from security risks. Google promptly said it will send software updates to Huawei phones running on Android until August 19.
The House bill's additional sponsors include Reps. Susan Brooks (R-IN), Tom O'Halleran (D-AZ), Francis Rooney (R-FL), Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and Elise Stefanik (R-NY). Backers of the proposed legislation appeared to have drawn heavily on a 2018 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) report, Huawei, 5G and China as a Security Threat. The document pointed ominously to Huawei's growing influence as a provider of 5G technology that could be exploited by Chinese intelligence to spy on foreign corporations and governments. It recommended that non-Chinese companies invest in 5G research and development and suggested that U.S. and European companies rethink using Huawei in build outs of their 5G infrastructure.
A Cyber Guarantee?
Huawei's chairman Liang Hua said last week that he will sign "no-spy agreements" with foreign governments to reassure skeptical lawmakers in Europe that it will not allow surveillance access into its technology.
Among the latest developments in the Huawei issue:
May 19 – U.S.: Commerce Dept. grants a 90-day license for mobile phone companies and broadband providers to work with Huawei to keep existing networks online and secure.
May 16 – U.K.: Huawei poses such a grave security risk to the U.K. that the government must reconsider its decision to give it a limited role in building 5G networks, a former head of Britain's MI6 foreign spy service said.
May 16 – China: The country's leadership on May 16, 2019, slammed a decision by the U.S. government to put telecom equipment giant Huawei on a blacklist and said it will take steps to protect its companies, in a further test of ties as the superpowers clash over trade.
May 14 and 15 – U.S.: President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by firms posing a national security risk, paving the way for a ban on doing business with China's Huawei.

So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees. So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive wood and two doors of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door turned on pivots, and the two leaves of the other door turned on pivots. He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the engraved work. Christian Gifts

Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes." The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt. Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: ...

It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds. Share Your Faith Products
This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. ...

And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work. He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. ... Bible Verse Wall Art
As a secular, non-sectarian, universal notion of art arose in 19th-century Western Europe, ancient and Medieval Christian art began to be collected for art appreciation rather than worship, while contemporary Christian art was considered marginal. Occasionally, secular artists treated Christian themes (Bouguereau, Manet) — but only rarely was a Christian artist included in the historical canon (such as Rouault or Stanley Spencer). However many modern artists such as Eric Gill, Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Jacob Epstein, Elizabeth Frink and Graham Sutherland have produced well-known works of art for churches.[1] Salvador Dali is an artist who had also produced notable and popular artworks with Christian themes.[2] Contemporary artists such as Makoto Fujimura have had significant influence both in sacred and secular arts. Other notable artists include Larry D. Alexander and John August Swanson. Some writers, such as Gregory Wolfe, see this as part of a rebirth of Christian humanism.[3]
"Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch. "This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. "You shall make a window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Christian Canvas Art

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. Bible Verse Wall Art


On this beautiful and sacred Easter weekend, surely no doctrine will be the subject of more sermons nor the object of more praise than that of the atoning sacrifice and the literal resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And so it should be at Easter and at every other season of the year, for no doctrine in the Christian canon is more important to all mankind than the doctrine of the resurrection of the Son of God. Through him came the resurrection of all men, women, and children who have ever been—or ever will be—born into the world.
"O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the flesh should rise no more our spirits must become subject to that angel who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God, and became the devil, to rise no more" (2 Ne. 9:8).
Surely the Resurrection is the center of every Christian's faith; it is the greatest of all of the miracles performed by the Savior of the world. Without it, we are indeed left hopeless. Let me borrow the words of Paul: "If there be no resurrection of the dead, … then is our preaching vain, … and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ. … If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:13–15, 17).
"And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again" (Matt. 20:18–19).
There in Jerusalem, the Sadducees accosted him and questioned him concerning the resurrection. They had conspired to trap him, but he taught them the simple truths of the living gospel.
"Have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God?" he asked.
"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
"And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine" (Matt. 22:31–33).
Later, as they met to celebrate the Passover, Jesus and his Apostles partook of the sacramental emblems that he initiated in this last supper together, and then walked to the Mount of Olives.
Always the teacher to the very end, he continued his discourse on the theme of the sacrificial lamb. He told them he would be smitten, and that they would be scattered as sheep without a shepherd (see Matt. 26:31). "But after I am risen again," he said, "I will go before you into Galilee" (Matt. 26:32).
"… He cometh unto his own, that salvation might come unto the children of men; … and even after all this they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him" (Mosiah 3:7, 9).
We are indebted to the prophet Alma for our knowledge of the full measure of His suffering: "He shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
"Behold, they will crucify him; and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God" (2 Ne. 25:13).
"For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord" (Hel. 14:15).
"And as many of the spirits as were in prison came forth, and stood on the right hand of God; and the remainder were reserved in chains of darkness until the judgment of the great day" (Moses 7:55–57).
As the dawn of that third day was beginning, Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary" had come to the sepulchre in which his lifeless body had been laid. Earlier, the chief priests and the Pharisees had gone to Pilate and persuaded him to place a guard at the door of the sepulchre, "lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead" (Matt. 27:64). But two mighty angels had rolled the stone from the door of the tomb, and the would-be guards had fled in terror at the sight.
When the women came to the tomb, they found it open and empty. The angels had tarried to tell them the greatest news ever to fall on human ears: "He is not here: for he is risen, as he said" (Matt. 28:6).
"And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many" (Matt. 27:52–53).
In the days that followed his resurrection, the Lord appeared unto many. He displayed his five special wounds to them. He walked and talked and ate with them, as if to prove beyond a doubt that a resurrected body is indeed a physical body of tangible flesh and bones. Later he ministered to the Nephites, whom he commanded to "arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
"And … the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come" (3 Ne. 11:14–15).
It is the responsibility and joy of all men and women everywhere to "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have [testified]" (Ether 12:41) and to have the spiritual witness of his divinity. It is the right and blessing of all who humbly seek, to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, bearing witness of the Father and his resurrected Son.
As one called and ordained to bear witness of the name of Jesus Christ to all the world, I testify at this Easter season that he lives. He has a glorified, immortal body of flesh and bones. He is the Only Begotten Son of the Father in the flesh. He is the Savior, the Light and Life of the world. Following his crucifixion and death, he appeared as a resurrected being to Mary, to Peter, to Paul, and to many others. He showed himself to the Nephites. He has shown himself to Joseph Smith, the boy prophet, and to many others in our dispensation. This is his church; he leads it today through his prophet, Ezra Taft Benson. Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Hello friends! I'm here again posting my monthly journal for RNheals. I wasn't able to post my entry for the month of May because...well, I really don't have one. #lols. Reason? Our DOH Representative told us not to submit it anymore. We were like, "woah! that's so cool!!!" #lols. We even thought it's for eternity [hehe] so we didn't write one for the month of June. However, the night before the deadline of submission, one of our colleagues texted us to submit the journal in the morning! Then we were like, "what the %$#@??? " So, this journal is out of flight of ideas [hehe] and cramming!
