As I have been reading Romans I just felt a tugging on my heart to go deeper, so I felt that I needed to go deeper in Romans 1:16-17, which talks of God's Good News.
Have you really thought about the Good News that Paul is talking about in these verses? How great it is that by faith in Christ and believing that Jesus died to take our sin away and that Jesus was resurrected that you find freedom in salvation. This salvation is for everyone who believes, both Jew and Gentile. That is the greatest news of all.
It is through faith that a righteous person has life. We are made righteous in the eyes of God because as believers in Christ Jesus, we are washed clean and made righteous by the blood of Christ. This makes me want to shout from the rooftops because it is so great. It is not by our works that we are made righteous, it is by our belief and faith in Jesus.
Saving everyone who believes. Believes means accept (something) as true; feel sure of the truth of. So, do you accept as true and feel sure of the truth that Jesus was both a son of man and the son of God? Do you accept as true that Jesus was sacrificed on the cross to wash us clean as the ultimate sacrifice for mankind? Do you accept as true that Jesus was raised from the grave on the 3rd day? If you say yes to these than for sure you are a believer. If you say yes to only some of these you are a partial believer, but I recommend that you take time to read the book of Romans in the New Testament so that you can discover the truth of what God did for mankind through the sacrifice of his beloved son Jesus Christ.
When you believe, the next thing is to realize the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus was for mankind. Jesus did not die to save the righteous, but rather to save the unrighteous. Jesus was a sacrifice to bring salvation to those that are unrighteous, by making them righteous by the blood that Christ shed for you and me. None of us are perfect and we will never achieve salvation through our works, rather it is a gift of God. Salvation is nothing that we can earn, and we need to always remember that. I am not saying that good works should be avoided, but rather that our good works will not bring us salvation. It is only by believing in the blood of Christ washing us clean that we are made righteous and truly receive salvation.
Just as Romans 3:21-22 says But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
The key is placing our faith in Jesus Christ.
I just think it is wonderful and amazing when you discover the love, grace and mercy that Father God has shown us. God has always wanted to bring us back to our first love, him! As you read the bible you begin to realize that God is always chasing and fighting to bring us back in right standing with him.
You call yourself a Christian, but are you really a Christian? In this current environment many people call themselves Christian, but you would not know it by their lifestyle. There are many individuals out there that say they are Christian, but they continue to live in the world, not repenting from their sinful lives, or seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ. Then there are individuals that may call themselves agnostic, or atheist, but if you really talk to them, they may believe parts of the bible but not all of it.
I hope to clear the waters on some of these various descriptions that people use to describe themselves when it comes to religion. I have come to learn these things by looking at my life and how Jesus has opened my eyes. I hear so many people say they are Christian, and I was one of them. They do not go to church very often, don't read their bible, they are not in relationship with Jesus, still cuss, drink, and basically follow the ways of the world. For instance, I found Jesus at 19, but I went right back to following the ways of the world, occasionally, I would go to church, but found it boring or felt unwelcomed. I would pray or talk to God when things were not going well. Oh but then nothing when things were going well for me, I would stop praying. I did whatever I wanted not thinking about the consequences, to myself or others, I was more focused on myself then on others. I would have compassion at times for others, but not like I do now. This probably sounds like some of you and it is nothing to be ashamed of, it just lets you see that you might need to shift your focus, from yourself to Jesus.
What I have come to realize is that when you are living your life this way, you may be a Believer, but not a true Christian. You believe in God, you believe in Jesus, but you think you know what is in the bible, and who has time to read the bible to really know what is in it! You might go to church every Sunday, or just on special occasions, (Christmas, Easter) or you don't even go to church because you have been offended, or you think they are a bunch of hypocrites. That was me, because every church I had been in after accepting Jesus in my life, judged me on what I wore, where I lived, etc. They did not accept me for who I was broken and lost looking for answers.
Then you have a life changing encounter with Jesus, that transforms your life. You start to find the time to read you bible and you discover you really did not know the truth that was in the bible. You start to discover that the bible has stories that pertain to things happening now just as much as in the past. You start to change without even realizing it, because Holy Spirit has been busy giving you a heart change. You understand that judgement is only for God, but it is ok to point out sin in a loving way, but there should not be judgement and condemnation; as Romans 8:1 tells us.
That every Christian is at a different place in their walk. Some are baby Christians, where others are farther along in their walk with Christ. You hold your head up proud that you are a Christian, and people around you can tell by your actions. You stop living in the world and focusing on yourself, and you start to shift your focus to others. There is a confidence in your walk, you talk of God in most of your conversations, you stop cussing and many stop drinking. But, we should not be worried about what other Christians are doing compared to us, our focus should be on ourselves and how God will look at us. We need to stop looking at the splinter in our fellow mans eye, and instead look at the log in our own eye; just as scripture says.
There are some out in the world that call themselves atheist or agnostic, but as I listen to some of them when asked questions, I think they are really just confused. For some that happens because of well-meaning Christians standing on a street corner condemning everyone, instead of spreading the love of Jesus and speaking from the heart of God. Some have never taken the time to read the bible to know what is really in it, and many of them believe in something spiritual but they can't put a name to it.
I really encourage those that are not sure about God or Jesus to just take the time to read through the new testament to get to know the amazing and wonderful Jesus that I know. I think you will find it life changing, but then again who am I! I am just someone who loves Jesus and I want everyone in the world to know the love and sacrifice that Jesus made for all of mankind. Yes! For you and for me. Jesus loves the sinner for he is chasing after the lost sheep to bring them back into the sheep fold. Just remember that Jesus will leave the 99 to chase after the one lost sheep.
Are you someone that is super shy? I was one of those people, I was so shy that when I was in junior high and high school people thought I was stuck up. If someone would come up and talk to me then I would have slight conversation with them, but I would never approach someone. Especially if I did not know them well, and even then, I was unsure of myself. I was always afraid that I was going to say something they thought was stupid, that I would sound dumb. In fact, I was really convinced that no one would like me for who I was, so I spent a good part of my life trying to be what I thought others wanted me to be. Let me tell you that never turned out very well. In the end I was the one that would get crushed and that would just push me into a greater fear. I was even my own worst enemy, believing things about myself that no one had ever spoken over me except for myself. There were lies that were in my head, and they plagued my life for 52 years. Those lies kept me a prisoner, afraid to be around people or to do things with others. I was just content in my little world of work and animals. The truth is that it was only in the last couple of years that I figured out that shyness is really a fear of man. Fear of what they will think, am I good enough, smart enough, funny, cute, the list goes on and on. I believed that no one would want to be around me, and this caused me problems in relationships and it kept me from having any close friends growing up.
Then back in 2015 God really was talking to me and was really encouraging me to step out and trust in him. We moved back to Tri Cities, Washington area, after moving away in 2012. When I moved back God got my husband and I into a really, great church. After about two weeks of us attending, I heard the Lord tell me ministry, and I was like what can I do in ministry. I am afraid to talk to people that I don't know. So, when we went to church that Sunday my husband told me to go up and talk to someone to see if there was some way that I could be involved as a volunteer in Women's ministry. I was so afraid that he had to literally take me by the hand and walk me up to someone to talk to. That was just the beginning, I ended up getting involved as a volunteer with a Ladies Brunch that they were going to do for Christmas, and I started to meet people, and suddenly I was not feeling as fearful around people. But the Lord was not done with me on this journey.
In December of that year I got hired at the church to work as an Admin. for the pastoral staff. As part of that I was going to be helping the youth pastor on Wednesday nights. Well that took me on a new journey, and I had to get past my fears of not fitting in, so that I could connect with the students. I would struggle for the whole year of 2016. As I went on a mission trip I kept hearing these lies in my head that I was not supposed to be going and that I did not matter, but on that journey, something great started to happen. I had someone tell me that God had given me the boldness of a Lion and that I did matter and that I was supposed to be on the trip. Suddenly, I started to see Lions up in the clouds, of course no one else saw them, but I saw them for a whole year. I even had one of the students in our youth group come up and give me a word that I was bold like a lion and was no longer like a tiger. Then she explained the difference between a lion and a tiger to me. Even though I was not sure about that boldness I kept walking in boldness and trusting the Lord along the way. Just let me say that when you trust God, you never get let down.
Now I walk in a wonderful freedom that I found on this journey, and that freedom only comes from the Lord Almighty. The first step is always the hardest, but after that they start to get easier. What I have found is that I matter, I am wanted, people like to be around me and that I have all kinds of friends. Now I look for the individuals that are sitting in the back corner hiding from everyone, so that I can call them into something greater as well. Oh, don't think that I don't get self-doubt that comes back to haunt me on occasion, but now I am quick to stop those lies and to speak out the truth of what God sees in me and says about me. I walk with my head up high, and I walk in a new-found boldness and authority that only comes from Jesus.
My encouragement to anyone that is walking that same road is to call on God, and trust him as you start to step out of the fear and into the light. Feel the weights fall off and you have a bounce in your step as you walk in new found freedom and you encounter new growth way beyond anything you could ever imagine. When you start to listen to the truth of the Lord, it brings you freedom. Freedom brings you so much more. Stop believing lies about yourself and ask God to help you take the first step. Ask God to give you strength and to take away the fear that is churning in your stomach. I know it can be hard and frightening, but the Lord can give you a boldness beyond anything you can imagine. Please believe me you start to see things through different lenses and you start to feel better about yourself.
Let's talk about prayer, it is a subject that many don't think about very much. Some people say that they pray on occasion, others will say that they pray more often. Trust me I am no expert when it comes to praying. A good prayer life can look many ways, there is not one clear cut approach; however, everyone should be spending at least a small amount of time praying. Prayer can be short or long, and it can be as simple as having a conversation with Father God, or on your knees pouring out your heart.
Make time to pray – What does that mean, just what it says make time. You can pray at any time and any place. Some of my best prayer time has been when I had a long drive to make, I would just spend the whole time praying and conversing with God.
Pray from a thankful heart. It is all right to ask Father God for things, but don't always ask, without spending some time thanking God for the things that he has done. Let me explain a little better. When I am praying, I take time to thank Father God for the things that he has done for me or the blessings he has bestowed on me. I thank him for my home, work that he has provided, vehicles that he has provided, family, etc. I try very hard to always have a thankful heart because it changes my perspective. If Father God has healed, you of something make sure and thank him for it. No matter how bad things may seem, there is always something that you can be thankful for.
Pray with boldness and expectation. Yes, the bible tells us to come boldly before the Lord. So, don't be afraid to ask for healing, for a broken heart to mend, for hearts to be changed. When I pray, and I ask Father God for something or to do something, I expect that it will happen, and I don't just pray once for breakthrough. Keep asking and keep praying. I spent 3 years talking to Father God about the type of man that I wanted in my life, after a couple of bad marriages, and broken relationships. So, I had a mind and heart shift and I thought about the important things for the next man in my life. I prayed every day for 3 years, then I met someone that had all the qualities that I had been praying about. He had some brokenness in his life and so then I prayed for 5 years for God to tear down the walls that were built around his heart, and after 5 years we got married. Some answers to prayer come quickly, but others take time, just keep asking Father God, he listens to our prayers and he responds in time.
There is not a perfect way to pray, and there is no hard and fast rule about praying; however, you do need to pray to see breakthrough and change. Pour out your heart to the Father, he wants to know you. Spend time in prayer thorough out the day. For instance, when I wake up most days I thank God for giving me another day on earth, another day to be with friends and family, another day that I can share the love of Christ with others. Then as I go through my day, I will just talk with the Father; what does that look like, well I walk out the door and just see beauty in the sky. I throw my arms out and look up and thank God. I am driving, and I start to get frustrated with another driver, but conviction stops me, and I thank God for teaching me about patience and not to judge others. I change from complaining about the other driver to praying a blessing on that driver. For about 3 years I drove 87 miles one way to work, so I had a lot of time that I was in a vehicle. That became my quiet space, and the best God time I could have. I would pray and talk with the Lord about my struggles, dreams, any and everything that was going on with my life. The cool thing was, Father God was listening, and when I would be on my way home I would hear him talking to my heart through the songs that were playing on the radio. Just a side note I only listen to Christian music, as it is medicine for my Spirit. So, as you can see prayer can be elaborate and focused, or it can be a simple conversation with God. But you will find that when you start to spend more time with the Lord in prayer, changes will start to happen in your life. You begin to have a shift in your spirit and you start to see things through the Fathers eyes, instead of through yours.
Have you ever thought about God's wild, reckless love for us? Or maybe you think of God is vengeful and angry. A God that only wants to bring wrath down on his people.
Well today I want to help you to understand that we have a loving God that is constantly trying to bring us back into right standing with himself. We were created to have relationship and good standing with our Father in Heaven. But early in creation sin entered the world and changed that forever. Since the time that sin first entered the world, Father God has been trying to bring us back into right standing so that we are in relationship with himself. God wants to know us and for us to not only call on him in times of trouble, but to always be talking to him.
What does talking to God look like? Well it is waking up in the morning and thanking him for another day here on earth. It is going through your day and taking the time to just talk to God about your struggles. He knows what you are going through, but Father God wants you to talk to him about it, just as a child would tell their parent. Talk to the Father about the good and the bad. I can remember a few years ago, I was crying out to God, because my Dad had Parkinson's Syndrome, and was no longer able to talk to me, so he would not even let me talk to him. I was a Daddy's girl, and I was missing my Dad so much, that I got on my knees and poured out my heart to Father God about how much I missed talking to my Dad. How I missed hearing his voice, and I just wanted to be able to talk to him about things going on in my life. What made it even harder was that I was 2500 miles away from my Dad at the time. Well the Father heard my cries, and he felt my pain. Two days later I got a phone call from my Dad and for 10-15 minutes my Dad could, talk and have a conversation with me. I knew instantly that this was a blessing and gift from Father God. It was the last time that I got to hear my Earthly Fathers, voice but it was priceless. This is what a loving Heavenly Father does, he gives good gifts because he loves us.
Just think about John 3:16-17: "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." These are the words of Jesus as he is explaining to a respected Jewish teacher. So, if God was always angry and vengeful, he would never have sacrificed his one and only Son to bring us back into righteousness when we accept Jesus in our hearts. No this is something that a loving God would do, that has a father's heart for each one of us. Think about how much love God really has for us, any parent knows that it would be hard, if not impossible to sacrifice their child for everyone else. I know I can't begin to imagine the pain that would cause. So, to allow that to happen so that we could accept Jesus into our hearts and become saved, to be made righteous through the blood of Christ is the ultimate act of love.
Do you read your bible? Is it just a book with words that you think is lifeless? Is it just a bunch of history that does not pertain to you? What if I told you that your bible is the living and breathing word of God! It has history that we can learn from, but it is a tool that the Lord can use to teach us and speak to us.
There was a time in my life when I thought that my bible was just a book. What I was reading made no sense. It just seemed like it was talking about things that did not pertain to me, because I was not one of the chosen people (Israelite). But then one day it was like a light came on, I decided to pray before I even opened my bible. I asked Father God to help me to understand what was in the bible. Suddenly the bible came to life and things were being highlighted to me. I was understanding things that had been confusing. Suddenly my bible was the living word and I would read, and have verses speak to my heart.
So, that started to change my perspective of my bible. I also started to notice that I was having a heart shift. I got excited about opening my bible and hearing what God had to say. Then in 2016 I started an actual bible reading plan. It was having you read part of the old testament and then part of the new testament. A new awareness suddenly came to me as I was seeing how the old and new testament tie together. I would get super excited, and pester my husband about what I had read which would lead to awesome discussions. It brought me into new freedoms as I started to find out that some things I had believed about the bible were not true. That was not what God had said, rather it was lies I had been believing.
Can I just say that when you make a dedication to actually read your bible in a year, it changes your life. Freedom comes from knowing the truth of what God says and applying that truth to your heart. You also start to discover your identity in Christ rather than in the lies of the world around you. I don't know about you, but I do not want to be a prisoner or a slave to the lies of the enemy. Life is beautiful, and I want to live it to the fullest through Christ. You gain wisdom and insight, so that you can make good changes to your life. You start to memorize scripture and applying it to your life. For instance Romans 8:1 There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Now talk about freedom when I read that and apply it to my life. All of a sudden when I feel condemnation coming on I can stop it in its tracks and declare the truth of the Lord. Bam just like that I have beaten the enemy back and taken another step forward.
Think about the bible as a tool to help you grow with Christ. Yes there is history, but even through historical things that happen you learn so that you don't make those same mistakes. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in the wilderness forever like the Israelites when they were freed from oppression in Egypt and then let fear keep them from the promised land. I want to walk in bold confidence that God is with me just as Joshua and Caleb did. But I did not gain that confidence until I actually made the time to read my bible and apply it to my life.
Yes that is the other thing, don't just read, but apply what you are learning to your life. If you are reading about being rebellious like Jonah was and you see what happened to Jonah. Then learn from that story so that you don't run from God but rather run to God. Let your bible be a journey into learning to be more like Jesus. Your bible is a tool and when you take time to read and apply it, your life begins to change.

Are Your Employees Scaring Off Customers?
Disengaged and poorly managed workers chase business out the door
by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton
Excerpted from How Full Is Your Bucket?
Not surprisingly, workgroups drained by excessive [negativity] aren't only less productive and less profitable, they also have higher turnover, more accidents on the job, and lower customer satisfaction, innovation, and quality scores.
And negative employees scare off customers. Think about the last time you called a customer service line and were treated poorly. After this experience, you might have said to yourself, "I am never doing business with that company again." If you were really angry, you might have told others about your experience and recommended that they stop doing business with the company as well. This is the damage one negative employee can inflict on any business.
Recently, we investigated the impact that a single employee can have on customers by studying 4,583 call center representatives from a major telecommunications company. We discovered three service representatives who scared off every single customer they spoke with in a given day -- and those customers did not return. . . . The company would have been better off paying those three representatives to stay home.
Fortunately, this study also identified seven service reps who retained and engaged every single customer with whom they spoke. Maybe you've been lucky enough to talk with a rep like this -- one who listened to your problem, made sure you understood that you were heard, took care of your issues promptly, and left you feeling like he or she really cared about you as a person. Did you want to tell others about this first-class service? And are you still a customer to this day?
The recognition gap
Managers, take note: Praise is rare in most workplaces. One poll found that an astounding 65% of Americans reported receiving no recognition for good work in the past year. And we have yet to find anyone who reports suffering from over-recognition. No wonder so many employees are disengaged. Although we need and want recognition and praise, the fact is, we don't get enough -- and organizations suffer because of it.
Most of the time, organizations begin formal recognition programs because someone in upper management has decided that monthly or quarterly awards ceremonies will help raise employee morale. Sounds good, right? What happens is the old reliable "Employee of the Month" program.
For the first few months, the program might actually work. There are usually at least a couple of people who have been top performers for a long time and deserve more recognition. These stars are appropriately showered with public praise.
But after a while, management struggles with the inevitable question: Who should be the next Employee of the Month? Once the executives reach a compromise, a lucky manager must stand in front of the room and say a bunch of nice -- and often insincere -- things about the recipient. The whole exercise ends up feeling like a sham to both the "winner" and the presenter.
Eventually, everyone -- regardless of merit -- gets named Employee of the Month. All their smiling photographs appear on a board in the reception area.
But the whole thing is gratuitous, and everyone knows it. The one who feels the worst, of course, is the employee who receives this recognition last. Why wouldn't he? Management waited months, or maybe more than a year, to praise his "great work," which probably feels about as good as being picked last for a team in gym class.
Of course, some organizations do provide meaningful, deserved, and individualized recognition.
Sincere and meaningful [recognition] increases the morale of any organization. Managers and employees who actively spread positive emotions, even in small doses, will see the difference immediately. And creating that difference can be inexpensive -- or even free. All it takes is a little initiative.

Acne is the term used to describe blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or any clogged pores that occur on the face or body. Most acne problems occur during the adolescent years, but it can sometimes occur before or even after the teenage years. Acne can often play a detrimental effect in one's self-esteem because it ruins the natural beauty of a person's facial features. Normally, minor acne will come and go on its own, recurring more frequently between the ages of adolescence and becoming less thereafter. Occasionally, acne can continually cause problems for a person later in life. More severe cases of acne can lead to more serious, permanent scarring. There are a number of techniques available today to treat acne. Doctors can recommend habitual changes in a person's lifestyle to help reduce the reoccurrence of breakouts. Medications are also often used to lessen the severity of outbreaks. Advanced laser therapies and chemical peels are also available to treat acne. There are a number of oral and topical medications available to treat mild to moderate acne. While the ingredients and directions vary from product to product, most of these medications involve either decreasing your skin's natural oil production, or removing dirt and oil from the targeted area. This will lessen the severity and frequency of acne outbreaks.
Psoriasis is a chronic disorder that creates itchy, red marks on the body. These areas form multi-layered "scales" that vary in severity. Psoriasis can occur at any age in both males and females. It is not contagious, though there does seem to be a hereditary connection. It is not a life-threatening condition, and in most cases, people who have mild symptoms may not even know that they have psoriasis. Cuts, scratches, infections and dry skin seem to cause flare-ups. In addition, lack of sun exposure and certain medications may cause psoriasis to flare up. Often, psoriasis affects the same area repeatedly. Elbows, arms, knees and legs are commonly afflicted areas. Generally, your doctor can diagnose you merely by examining your skin, but he or she may also perform a biopsy if needed. Steroids, oils, sprays, medications, vitamins, light therapy and many other treatments are available. Based on the severity of your condition, your doctor will consult with you to find the treatment that's best for you. It is important to treat this condition, both to alleviate pain and to help significantly improve your quality of life.
Many other conditions are easily treated. Please refer to the Patient Education Library tab for more information.

California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo graduation rate is above the national average.
72% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution's new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This index doesn't consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare educational institutions.

What would Michael Sata think of this ?
– Rupiah Banda, Dora Siliya, Felix Mutati and other MMD corrupt thieves sold Zamtel to Lapgreen after receiving bribes.
– in 2011, Sata won elections and repossessed Zamtel.
Finance minister Felix Mutati says government will compensate LapGreen Network in compliance with the High Court order following a consent judgment between the Libyan firm and the Zambian government.
And government has announced the sale of 17.3 per cent of government's shares in the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH) on the Lusaka Stock Exchange.
Recently, FDD deputy national secretary Antonio Mwanza disclosed that he had information to the effect that LapGreen was threatening to seize Zambia's assets abroad if the debt in excess of US$382 million, which was long overdue, was not settled.
In this case, LapGreen which is Libya's government investment portfolio, sued the Zambian government after it forcefully took over 75 per cent LapGreen shares from Zamtel in 2012.
LapGreenN bought the shares during former president Rupiah Banda's reign at a cost of $252 million.
Mutati confirmed that Zamtel had been moved to the Industrial Development Corporation, and added that government had resolved to compensate LapGreenN following the ruling from the High Court.
"Mr Speaker, the correct status is that Zamtel has moved to IDC and then the issue of LapGreenN was determined by the High Court and LapGreen was awarded compensation. Government is dealing with the matter of compensation," said Mutati.
Meanwhile, Mutati announced that government would soon sale 17.3 per cent of its shares in the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH).
"Mr Speaker, allow me to appraise the House on the intended sale of 17.3 per cent to have these shares in ZCCM investment holdings held by GRZ and listed on the Lusaka Stock Exchange. Sir, the long term strategic plan is to reposition ZCCM Investment Holdings for growth through strategic partnership and to comply to LUSE requirements. LUSE listing requirements stipulates that 'no single shareholder should control more than 25 per cent of equity in any one listed company'. In compliance with the listing requirements, government intends to sale 17.3 per cent of its shareholding in ZCCM investment holdings," Mutati said.
He assured the House that the sale of the shares would not affect NAPSA which holds 15 per cent stake in ZCCM.
"As honourable members are aware, NAPSA holds 15 per cent shares in ZCCM Investment Holdings. Mr Speaker, in conducting the sale, we will ensure that the articles of association are amended to provide that IDC's shareholding will not at any time fall below 50.3 per cent to serve the national strategic interest and to give the right of first refusal to IDC, should NAPSA want to sale its 15 per cent shareholding. Sir, as a transparent and consultative government, we thought it is prudent that we share with the House and the nation at large the intentions of government on this issue. The sale is strictly meant to ensure compliance to the LUSE regulations while firmly protecting the interests of the nation," said Mutati.


The Masjid Ramadan, also known as Shacklewell Lane Mosque, is based in the heart of East London. Founded in 1977 by Turkish Cypriot businessman Ramadan Guney, the mosque offers a wide range of religious and social services to our diverse community of Muslim worshippers.
Our charitable trust runs a well-established Islamic funeral service, which includes arranging burials in Britain and repatriation to Turkey, North Cyprus and other destinations.
Next week, we enter the blessed holy month of Ramadan. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to wish you all Ramadan Mubarak. We pray that during this most spiritual of months all Muslims have a chance to become better acquainted with the true teachings of our beloved faith. It is a time for spiritual and physical cleansing, and we therefore encourage all our worshippers, both young and old, to read the Holy Qur'an as much as they can, and to ideally complete it at least one during this month. Please remember our Masjid and those less fortunate in your prayers.
The family of young Rashan Charles, who died earlier this year, have asked us to announce the plans for his funeral, which will take place on Friday 6 October. A commemoration service will be held for Rashan at two local places of worship in Dalston, East London, before he is laid to rest at Manor Park Cemetery. At 11 am, we will hold a funeral service here at the mosque, where Rashan's father Eesa Green is a regular parishioner. After prayers conclude at midday, the funeral cortege will collect other members of the family and proceed to nearby St Mark's Church for a second service at 1pm, in keeping with Rashan's mother's wishes. A further service will be held at the graveside at Manor Park Cemetery, E7, at 2.45pm. The public are invited to join Rashan's family and friends at any of these services. Just 20 years old, Rashan Charles died on 22 July after being restrained by police officers following a chase on Kingsland High Road, less than a mile away from the mosque. The mosque's board of trustees are long-term friends of the family and have been actively supporting them through their bereavement and quest for answers on how their son died. Masjid Ramadan has been the centre of several public meetings concerning Rashan's death.
Later this month, Masjid Ramadan will be seeking to alter Britons' perceptions of mosques by hosting a unique multi-faith festival. Members of the mosque will be working with PranaMotion to deliver an interactive multi-faith festival of music, dance, eclectic prayer and storytelling to celebrate diversity and unity. The Golden Egg Love Fest will run all day on Saturday 22 April (Earth Day) and Sunday 23 April. This co-creative collaboration of musicians, dancers, spoken word artists, and community facilitators from diverse ethnic and faith backgrounds will welcome people from all religious backgrounds and those with none in a "spirit of love". The family-friendly festival is a strictly alcohol and drug-free zone, with all food suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Its programme encourages festival-goers to focus on and stimulate their spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing. While some may frown upon such events taking place at a mosque, our chair Erkin Guney believes in a more progressive and inclusive approach to Islam that is reflective of his Turkish Cypriot Sufi roots. Mr Guney said, "Islam is a peaceful religion and at its core, it's inclusive of other religions, cultures and philosophies, as well as non-religious ones. By hosting non-Islamic events at the mosque, we welcome many non-Muslims who get the chance to view Islamic culture from a different, more positive perspective to the one that is constantly being relayed to them by the media." "For me, encouraging interaction between different cultures and faiths is essential. It's a way of contributing to peace among our diverse communities," he added.
On Friday 8 April, Masjid Ramadan welcomed the honourable Ismail ibn Musa Menk, also known as Mufti Menk, a Muslim cleric and the Grand Mufti of Zimbabwe. He was part of a trio of guest speakers at special event called Walking in the Light of the Qu'ran. Also speaking was London-based Shaykh Hasan and Abu Bakr al-Shatri from Saudi Arabia. Three thousand people from all over the country attended the talks at the mosque. In unprecedented scenes, there were queues going around the block on to Stoke Newington Road and down Shacklewell Lane as people patiently waited to be admitted. You can see Muftu Menk's talk in full here.
We have stepped up security following a visit by Metropolitan police officers, who are investigating a threatening letter sent to the mosque. Last week, we received a threatening handwritten message in the post. Featuring a skull and bones, it warned: "I am coming to your mosque in August to make you vermin pay. Muslim blood tastes particularly sweet." Erkin Guney, the chairman of the board of trustees for Masjid Ramadan, said he was going through the mosque's mail last week and opened the initial envelope to find a second one inside with the threat written on the front and more menacing words, "A Muslim Slayer Production", on the back of the envelope next to a small hand drawn heart. In shock after reading the threat, Mr Guney told his wife, who promptly called the police. A local police officer visited the mosque on Friday and spoke to Mr Guney about the letter. The officer said the Met were "taking the threat seriously" and that it is being investigated by counter-terrorism.


DroneShield Limited (ASX: DRO) provides drone detection technology. The Company offers analysis, identification, and alerts solutions. DroneShield serves the detention, airport, government, commercial, and infrastructure sectors.
On 13 February 2019, the company stated through a release on the exchange that its securities will be placed in a trading halt at its own request & will remain so until the earlier of the commencement of regular trading on Friday, 15 February 2019, or when the announcement is released to the market. This is said to be owing to the announcement in relation to the material capital raising.
As on the same date (i.e., 13 February 2019), the company has released its investor presentation in which it highlighted about FY18 activity and its outlook. As per the presentation, the drone security market is becoming significant and is fast growing, with the company estimating the size of its addressable market to be worth over US$12bn with circa 12 million drones to be operating, often in metropolitan airspaces, by the year 2020.
Since the time of its listing, the company has grown from a single acoustic detection solution to a company providing a full detection and countermeasure package utilizing the latest radiofrequency, radar and other technologies. The company is now experiencing rapidly growing revenues and is well positioned in competitive tenders, and direct non-competitive sales processes with the military, law enforcement, civil infrastructure and head of state/presidential customers with 90 potential contracts valuing up to US$45 Mn.
The firm recorded in 4Q2018 a record $500k in customer cash receipts. The month of January 2019 marked $730k in customer cash receipts, which were received in the first three weeks alone. Moreover, the firm has recently received orders from the Middle Eastern Ministry of Defence for 70 DroneGuns valued at A$3.2m. Other smaller contracts include multiple DroneGun units for major Asian and Western Government Agencies, DroneSentry and DroneGun units for a government security agency in Central America.
As per the release, the company has also executed a Teaming Agreement with Kuwait's Zain Group, a US$7 billion leader in telecommunications in the Middle East. Zain has now placed its first order with the firm. Further, the firm has been able to consolidate market position with its DroneShield products now been used by Queensland Police at the Commonwealth Games in Queensland, Texas State Department at the NASCAR, the ADF at the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit 2018 in Sydney and by local authorities at the 2018 Olympic Games. Other users include special forces of a G7 NATO country, Asian homeland security, and the Turkish Prime Ministry.
The company is now well positioned in competitive tenders, and direct non-competitive sales processes with the military, law enforcement, civil infrastructure and head of state and presidential customers with 90 potential contracts. Also, the U.S. Government has approved DroneShield products for placement on the General Services Administration schedule, a list of products pre-approved for purchase by U.S government agencies.
DroneShield's detection technology displays strong advantages over other competitors, including non-line-of-sight detection, night-time detection, an increase in detection ranges and effective coverage area, hence, providing a significant competitive advantage to the firm.
Now, let us have a quick look at DroneShield Limited's stock performance and the return it has posted over the last few months. The stock last traded at a price of $0.145, with a market capitalization of ~$26.40 Million. The stock has provided a YTD return of -14.71% & also posted returns of -6.45%, and 3.57% over the past six months and three months, respectively. It had a 52-week high price of $ 0.290, with an average volume of 273,854 approximately.

When Time Stood Still
Stars: Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, Max Casella, Beth Grant, Caspar Phillipson, John Carroll Lynch and John Hurt
Director: Pablo Larrain
Scriptwriter: Noah Oppenheim
Composer: Mica Levi
check on www.tollbooth.org for review of "Jackie" soundtrack
Cinematographer: Stephane Fontain
Rating: R for assassination reenactment and themed material
Running Length: 100 minutes
Screened at Kansas International Film Festival (KIFF) Nov .4, 2016
The music is what gets to you at the beginning of this film. It is ominous. You can't quite place it, but as the film continues, you realize that each section of music is based on two adjoining notes, such as G flat and A flat. You realize the composer (Mica Levi) is writing to the idea of two people joined through marriage and a presidency and this is the theme of the story of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy ("Jackie") also. This behind- the-background idea was also used in the soundtrack for last year's "Sicario" by Johann Johannsson, who used "Three Blind Mice" as the hidden theme.
"Jackie" gives the audience the immediacy of what happened when President John F. Kennedy was shot on November 22,1963. Through flashbacks from the assassination to autopsy to planning a funeral, we also see what led up to the President being in Dallas that day, and the life he and Jackie and their children had before his death. This is all tied together by music and the performance of Natalie Portman as Jackie. Now, there have been many actresses in the past who have taken on the role of Jackie Kennedy, going from 1985 (Juanin Clay) to 2000 (Joanne Whalley) to Jeanne Tripplehorn (2009) to Katie Holmes (2011) and Ginnifer Goodwin in 2013. Natalie Portman gives us the physicality of Jackie Kennedy, her determination to have a state funeral and having to go against the system of men-planning to make sure this funeral would stand out. She succeeded.
The storyline has Jackie, after the assassination and living in Hyannis Port, Mass. being interviewed for Life magazine by reporter Theodore H. White (Billy Crudup). He is intimidated by her--and it looks as though she likes playing cat-and-mouse, but in the end he does get an interview. Though it all, we see the meeting of John and Jackie, their marriage, children, life at the White House, and Jackie trying to come out of her shell of shyness. She makes a first impression of being haughty, when, in reality, she is shy and this life in the spotlight can get to be too much, too soon.
The assassination scene and hospital later, are graphic, even cringe-worthy. The audience is in the car with Jackie. Then comes, having to deal with protocol along with an autopsy, reporters, and congressional people. Jackie can see the work of her husband slowly shifting in another direction as Lyndon B. Johnson is sworn in as the next President. It's like sitting in a boat and suddenly you see the dock receding behind you and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact, a classic photo of John and Jackie, has them on a sailing boat with the wind tossing her hair and he with a big smile on his face. A happy time that is now a memory time.
Natalie Portman is on screen most of the time in this film and we see her from happy to nervous (TV shows) to gracious (concerts at the White House) to being a mother and mourning the loss of a child, Patrick. Her facial expressions are stoic in public, but in private, looking at her mirror, you can see stress there, though her body language is always good posture and a hat and gloves. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Natalie Portman will certainly get a Best Actress nomination for "Jackie," but also may win the Oscar, too. This also happened in 2011 with her performance in ""Black Swan."
Where were you on November 22, 1963?

I have a windows vista laptop and on it I have Norton 360 protecting my computer so windows defender and firewall are turned off because I have been told by computer techs that two antivirus tools should not be working together. But I am getting this alert on windows saying that I need to register my computer for the Vista Malware protection because there is malware on my computer and it could lead to computer crashing or identity theft. However, I ran Norton scans and nothing is wrong. Should I register it or ignore it? This has never popped up before so I don't know what to do. Thank you.
Have you tried hanging garlic around your bedposts and having a gun loaded with silver bullets to hand?.
Forget the firewall, unistall it and then get Adaware free and keep norton.
Run Adaware every month or so.

Burlington County student chosen as NJ winner in Google Doodle competition
BURLINGTON TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- If you've ever admired those Google Doodles when you log onto the search engine, keep your eyes peeled! A local 8th grader's original creation could be one of the next designs featured.
Jeremy Henskens, a student at Burlington Township Middle School, found out he's a Google Doodle winner in a really exciting surprise assembly on Thursday.
Jeremy's art could soon make its way to the Google homepage for hundreds of millions of people to see. The competition is open to K-12 students across the United States.
This year, applicants were asked to redesign the Google logo inspired by the theme: "When I grow up, I hope...".
"When I grow up, I want to be a cartoonist, so I drew a comic strip and that's what the doodle is about," said Jeremy.
Jeremy's design was one of 52 winners selected from 200,000 entries.
His Doodle now moves on to the next round of the competition where some of the judges include comedian, Jimmy Fallon and Kermit the Frog!
Good luck, Jeremy!

Steel guitarist, Glenn Fernando Campbell, was the star behind this band. He'd joined them from The Misunderstood. Their vinyl zenith is usually considered to be their first album which contained a number of tight, well constructed songs, including a fine cover of Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love?, which also took them into the 45 Charts. It came on the now highly collectable spiral Vertigo label in an attractive gatefold sleeve. Sadly it was downhill thereafter, their fortunes were hardly helped by several personnel changes. Paul Williams, ex-Zoot Money, came in on vocals, replacing Roy Owen on the second album, but the result was a disappointment. None of the original line-up survived for their fourth and final effort, Pieces. The line-up for this included Andy Pyle, whilst he took a brief break from Savoy Brown. The final verdict must be that they failed to achieve their early promise.
Saucy blues-rockers Juicy Lucy formed in 1969 from the ashes of cult-favorite garage band the Misunderstood, reuniting vocalist Ray Owen, steel guitarist Glenn "Ross" Campbell and keyboardist Chris Mercer; with the additions of guitarist Neil Hubbard, bassist Keith Ellis and drummer Pete Dobson, the group immediately notched a UK Top 20 hit with their reading of the Bo Diddley perennial "Who Do You Love," with their self-titled debut LP falling just shy of the Top 40. Ex-Zoot Money singer Paul Williams, guitarist Mick Moody and drummer Rod Coombes replaced Owen (who exited for a solo career), Hubbard and Dobson for 1970's Lie Back and Enjoy It, with bassist Jim Leverton assuming Ellis' duties for the follow-up, 1971's Get a Whiff a This. The constant turnover clearly took its toll on the group both creatively and commercially, with co-founders Campbell and Mercer both exiting prior to the fourth Juicy Lucy album, 1972's Pieces, which was recorded by a makeshift lineup of Williams, Moody, keyboardist Jean Roussel and the former Blodwyn Pig rhythm section of bassist Andy Pyle and drummer Ron Berg. Juicy Lucy finally disbanded shortly thereafter.

David Beckham to attend Salford City match
Ex-Manchester United star David Beckham to attend Salford game

Salford City's new co-owner David Beckham is set to attend Saturday's National League home clash against Dover.
It was announced last month that Beckham was following his Manchester United Class of '92 team-mates Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville and Phil Neville in taking a 10 per cent share in Salford.
The former England captain's appointment as a director was formally approved by the Football Association on January 31, and it had been planned that he would be introduced to fans at the FA Trophy match against Maidstone two days later.

The visit was then postponed, with the fixture having been rearranged because of the weather.
Salford said in a post on their official Twitter feed on Friday: "We're looking forward to welcoming a new face to The Peninsula Stadium tomorrow.
"New co-owner David Beckham will be in attendance at our game against Dover Athletic! #WelcomeBecks"
The Ammies, whose single largest shareholder is Singaporean businessman Peter Lim, are currently fifth in the National League.

Brand Activism
Brand Activism: Stand for Something, Before Taking a Stand
"Those who stand for nothing, fall for everything"
It's been quite a year so far for brand activism. COVID-19 took hold in early March, prompting beer brands to make hand sanitizer, luxury fashion brands face masks and Dyson created a hospital ventilator in just 10 days. Then, thanks to record sales from e-comm and a spate of panic buying and stocking up, grocery chains started giving big bonuses to their staff and donating $millions to support the frontline and local communities. Oh, and Dolphins returned to Venice (but not really – it transpired).
Then on May 25th, George Floyd was murdered by a Police Officer in the middle of the street, in the middle of the day in Minneapolis for using a forged $20 note. Riots, violence and civil unrest reverberated around the world; CEOs called for a reparations commission and a ban on police unions; according to Forbes, over 28 million Instagram users participated in #BlackoutTuesday, posting empty black tiles in silent (and some might say, empty) solidarity and some of America's oldest household brands came under the spotlight for their slavery-era branding.
More recently, shareholders worth a collective $620 billion, pressured Nike, FedEx and PepsiCo to terminate their business relationships with the Redskins unless the team agreed to change its name (which it has subsequently agreed to do). Raging right now more than 200 big brand spenders have boycotted facebook over its handling of hate speech, and misinformation which has risen into the #stophateforprofit campaign. Here's the list.
Some have dismissed these temporary withdrawals from Facebook as little more than a PR stunt. Others have suggested that the movement is unlikely to have the desired material impact on Facebook's bottom line (given that the majority of its revenues are derived from small-to-medium businesses.)
Regardless, we're living in unprecedented times.
"The change coming will be as radical as the 60s. People will demand action: Change now or we burn the place down" (Research Respondent)
As Dr. Arlo Brady, CEO of Freuds, (who conducted the research quoted above ) comments; "The recent rise of backyard activism is vital and it can often act as a 'gateway drug' for action on the Global Goals. Gen Z gets hooked on impact, much like a gondola-end BOGO deal in the supermarket that you spy from the street, it pulls you in".
But here's the thing: Activism isn't really meant to be this impulsive, reactionary or convenient — unless it's driven by fear. Fear of saying the wrong thing; fear of not being seen to do the right thing; fear of being too white, too male or not black enough. There's a big difference between an existential fear of standing by and not doing anything to change the status quo and then the fear of doing something – anything – just in case you get found out.
Take Ben & Jerry's. The brand has been praised where so many others have been criticized because the company and its leaders have been doing the hard work of racial justice advocacy for decades. It has long funded and built relationships with movement leaders, giving the company a credible platform to use its voice — and be heard — when police violence against Black Americans spilled into the streets, yet again.
As Adam Fetcher in Fast Company points out; "If the last month has shown us anything, it's that there are a lot of organizations that desire to emulate Ben & Jerry's but lack a serious history of working on behalf of causes larger than their own success. There's no manual, and there are no shortcuts to credibility. It requires a willingness to build a foundation that's not driven by PR. If you can focus on impact over attention, the press will cover your efforts with the depth it merits — at a time when you actually deserve it."
Mark Ritson puts it this way; " We make change by enacting it within our organizations and therefore becoming the exemplars for others. If you care about black lives, you don't get inspired by an Instagram post. You get inspired by black faces in the boardroom. Companies need to become the change they are tweeting about. Walk the walk before you tweet the tweet. (Though that second step really isn't necessary.)"
Talk is cheap, silence can be deafening but hypocrisy is intolerable. So where to start? Simply put — stand for something before taking a stand and be prepared to be held to account if you don't.
"By choosing brands that align with their values, shoppers are voting with their wallets for the kinds of businesses they want in the world — and paving the way toward a more sustainable and just economy. We're in an unfortunate time where Governments and Institutions provide less and less moral leadership and we now expect to see it from the brands we buy," says Bthechange,
As a B-corp that helps brands, retailers and non-profits activate purpose at retail, we would wholeheartedly agree. There is no rule book. There is no relief from responsibility and things aren't always going to go to plan…and do you know what? That's OK.
A good place to start is to draw a simple Venn diagram (spot the strategist) and then find the intersection between what your brand uniquely offers, what the world needs and what the shopper wants. That's your purpose. From there find a foundation, non-profit or a social enterprise that can help you realize it. Listen, learn and understand what it really takes to translate that purpose into a mission. Last (but by no means least) find a retailer who can help you activate it – which will mean that the 'why' of your purpose will need be connected to the 'way' of profit.
If the engine of commerce, fueled by social innovation and kept in check by an ever more conscious consumer can create sustainable, scalable solutions for what the world needs and what people want, then brands can (and ostensibly should) become the most powerful instruments for change the world has ever seen. Now that's activism in our book.

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responds to fires on McKenzie Street and Elmhurst Road
Residential Parking Ban lifted
Released: 9:51 a.m.
Winnipeg, MB – The Residential Parking Ban has been lifted; the City of Winnipeg thanks all Winnipeggers for their patience and cooperation. Residents are reminded that the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban remains in effect daily from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. until February 28, 2022.
If your residential street was not cleared as scheduled, you can now contact 311 to make a report, or submit a service request using the quick and convenient snow removal request form. Crews will be addressing missed streets and other outstanding snow clearing requirements in the coming days.
Residents are reminded to watch for temporary no parking signs that may be placed on their residential street. The temporary no parking signs are used to prohibit vehicles from parking on streets so snow removal equipment can perform their operations. Vehicles parked in violation of temporary no parking signs may be ticketed and towed.
For more information about winter parking bans, to download the City's Know Your Zone app, and for more information on snow clearing and ice control activities, see: winnipeg.ca/snow.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responds to fire on Selkirk Avenue
Released: 10:46 a.m.
Winnipeg, MB – At 1:58 a.m. on Sunday, January 2, 2022, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) responded to reports of a fire in a vacant bungalow in the 100 block of Selkirk Avenue.
When crews arrived on scene they encountered heavy smoke coming from the building. An offensive attack was launched, but due to deteriorating conditions crews were forced to exit the building and transition to a defensive attack. Operations at the scene are ongoing at this time. It is expected that crews will remain at the scene for most of today, extinguishing hot spots.
The extreme cold has created challenging conditions for firefighting with water, trucks, and equipment freezing up quickly. The entire area around the scene is ice-covered and slippery. Extra units are on scene as crews need to be rotated in and out of operations frequently to protect them from the conditions.
One neighbouring home was evacuated due to water damage. The City of Winnipeg's Emergency Social Services was called to assist those who were displaced in finding temporary accommodations. No injuries have been reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available at this time, but the building is expected to be a complete loss.
Selkirk Avenue is closed between Austin Street North and Main Street. Once crews complete their work at the scene and roads re-open, drivers and pedestrians are asked to use caution in the area as water used to fight the fire has frozen and created slippery conditions. The City will be monitoring conditions and applying sand and de-icing agents to roadways and sidewalks as required to improve traction.
Released: 5:51 p.m.
Winnipeg, MB – The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service (WFPS) responded to two structure fires this afternoon.
McKenzie Street Fire
At 12:05 p.m. on Sunday, January 2, 2022, the WFPS responded to reports of a fire in a vacant two-storey, multi-family structure in the 100 block of McKenzie Street.
When crews arrived on scene they encountered heavy smoke coming from the building. An offensive attack was launched, but due to deteriorating conditions crews were forced to exit the building and transition to a defensive attack. Once some of the flames were knocked down, crews once again entered the structure and the fire was declared under control at 1:42 p.m.
Crews completed a search of the building an no occupants were found. One neighbouring home was temporarily evacuated as a precaution. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available at this time.
Elmhurst Road Fire
At 3:32 p.m. on Sunday, January 2, 2022, the WFPS responded to reports of a fire in a single-family home in the 800 block of Elmhurst Road.
Upon arrival on scene, crews encountered smoke coming from the house. An offensive attack was launched and the fire was declared under control at 4:16 p.m.
All occupants of the house self-evacuated prior to the arrival of crews. On-scene paramedics assessed one individual, and the patient was transported to hospital in stable condition. No other injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage estimates are not available at this time.

Q: Diference between task.wait , Task.delay and thread.sleep I would like to know the difference between
Task.delay Task.Wait and Thread.sleep
When we are using thread.sleep. After wake up from sleep a new stack is getting created. Please let me what is real difference between them.

A: Basically Wait() and Sleep() are both thread blocking operations,in other words they force a thread to sit idle instead of doing work elsewhere. Delay on other hand uses a timer internally that releases the thread in use until the delay is complete.
There is much more that can be said about these three functions so here's a small sample set for further reading.
More Info

*

*There is no thread

*Don't Block on Async Code

*When to use Task.Delay, when to use Thread.Sleep?

*Thread.Sleep vs Task.Delay?

*Thread.Sleep is a sign of a poorly designed program.

public class WaitSleepDelay
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The thread is released and is alerted when the delay finishes
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public async Task Delay()
    {
        //This Code Executes
        await Task.Delay(1000);
        //Now this code runs after 1000ms
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This blocks the currently executing thread for the duration of the delay.
    /// This means that the thread is held hostage doing nothing
    /// instead of being released to do more work.
    /// </summary>
    public void Sleep()
    {
        //This Code Executes
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        //Now this code runs after 1000ms
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This blocks the currently executing thread for the duration of the delay
    /// and will deadlock in single threaded sync context e.g. WPF, WinForms etc.
    /// </summary>
    public void Wait()
    {
        //This Code Executes
        Task.Delay(1000).Wait();
        //This code may never execute during a deadlock
    }
}

Patriots Game Previews
Examining the roster ties between Patriots, Buccaneers ahead of Week 4
Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium marks the the return.

General manager Jason Licht and a few former New England Patriots will revisit Gillette Stadium as Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
As for what will follow, a retired receiver familiar with the situation described it well.
"It's definitely going to be weird," Julian Edelman told reporters during his video conference last week. "It's like going to a family barbecue or like a basketball event and you're the step kid, or you're like the kid who has divorced parents and your mom and dad are there and you don't know how to react. Are they going to fight? Are they not going to fight? It's going to be interesting. But I am excited. Who is not excited for it? It's going to be an exciting game."
Here are the roster connections between the Patriots and Buccaneers heading into the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.
Tom Brady, quarterback — The 44-year-old under center for Tampa Bay completed 7,402 passes for 85,959 yards and 614 touchdowns from his regular seasons to his postseasons with head coach Bill Belichick in New England. Brady has since thrown 60 touchdowns through 23 starts for head coach Bruce Arians' Buccaneers after signing a two-year contract worth $50 million in March 2020. Pick No. 199 overall in the 2000 NFL draft, now seven Super Bowl rings in, has completed 68.7 percent of his attempts this fall for 1,086 yards with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions. After a Week 3 loss, Brady stands 68 yards away from breaking Drew Brees' NFL passing record.
Antonio Brown, wide receiver — The NFL All-Decade wideout's stop with the Patriots in September 2019 spanned four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown from his current quarterback. It ended with his release 11 days later. Since Brown's reinstatement from an eight-game suspension for violations of the league's personal-conduct policy in 2020, he has played 13 games for the Buccaneers, including playoffs. And this season, the 33-year-old has caught six passes for 138 yards with one touchdown. Brown missed Tampa Bay's matchup with the Los Angeles Rams while on the Covid-19 reserve list.
Rob Gronkowski, tight end — Drafted in April 2010, retired in March 2019 and traded in April 2020, the Patriots received a fourth-round pick in exchange for a seventh-rounder and Gronkowski. The 32-year-old tight end from the University of Arizona has since caught a combined 69 passes for 917 yards and 13 touchdowns while starting every game for the Buccaneers. A four-time Super Bowl champion, four-time All-Pro, five-time Pro Bowler and member of the NFL's 100th anniversary team, Gronkowski stands with four spikes in the end zone this fall through 16 receptions from Brady.
Nick Folk, kicker — The Patriots signed Folk to the 53-man roster after the veteran kicker served as a standard elevation for the initial two games of the season. Entering the league in the sixth round of the 2007 draft with the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he became a rookie Pro Bowler, Folk spent seven years with the New York Jets. A stint with Tampa followed. It saw Folk convert a career-low 54.5 percent of his field goals and 77.8 percent of his extra points over four games in the 2017 season before being let go that February. He'd become an Arizona Hotshot from there. But the 36-year-old has since become a franchise record-setter with New England, making 35 field goals in a row. A pair traveled through the uprights in last Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints.

The procedure takes only two appointments.
Bonding is a resin filling material that was used for serveral years to cover the front surface of teeth. Today, we generally use bonding only to fill in small surfaces or cavities and repair chips in teeth. A full crown is when a tooth has had root canal treatment, or when a substantial amount of the entire tooth structure (enamel) has been lost.
Veneers can last indefinitely, depending on how well they are taken care of by the patient. Because veneers are stronger than simple bonding, the are also more resistant to stains and chipping. You must maintain regular oral hygiene at home, and visit us for routine cleanings and exams. This is to ensure that your new veneers will look as good as new. Another important pointi s that oral habits that damage natural teeth such as nail biting, opening bobby pins, and chewing on hard objects can also damage your new veneers. Once veneers are applied, just treat them like natural teeth. They look great and are exteremely durable.
