Q: Custom newfrom (upload a picture and fill in the picture url) I have to customize an announcement list new and edit form.
In the form is there is a Picture Colum. But I don't want the user to go first to a picture library, upload the picture, copy the picture url and fill in the url in the announcement list form.
In the Internet I found this helping jScript (http://spimagefieldupload.codeplex.com/).
//If the link is clicked, show the existing RteUploadDialog.aspx page as a popup
      var dialog = {url: SP.Utilities.Utility.getLayoutsPageUrl("RteUploadDialog.aspx") + "?LCID=" + SP.Res.lcid + "&Dialog=UploadImage&UseDivDialog=true&Source=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location),
            allowMaximize: true,
            showClose: true,
            width: 500,
            height: 160,
            dialogReturnValueCallback: function (success, html) {
                if (success) {
                    //Gets the picture's url from the popup, shows it and hides the links
                    var $emptyPanel = jQuery("#" + selectorId + "_EmptyPanel");
                    var $assetSelectedPanel = jQuery("#" + selectorId + "_AssetSelectedPanel");
                    var $imageFieldDisplay = jQuery("#" + selectorId + "_ImageFieldDisplay");
                    $imageFieldDisplay.html(html);
                    $emptyPanel.css("display", "none");
                    $assetSelectedPanel.css("display", "inline");
                }
            }
        };
        thisDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(dialog);

But how i can change the script (dialogReturnValueCallback: function) so that the picture url and the picture name is stored in jScript Variables in the form. So I can write I back in the form fileds.
Thanks for your help

A: I used a plain single line textbox named "Feature Image" to achieve this.  I also added in a "Test Link" hyperlink for users to verify the image was uploaded correctly.  Code below:
 //If the link is clicked, show the existing RteUploadDialog.aspx page as a popup
    var dialog = {
        url: SP.Utilities.Utility.getLayoutsPageUrl("RteUploadDialog.aspx") + "?LCID=" + SP.Res.lcid + "&Dialog=UploadImage&UseDivDialog=true&Source=" + encodeURIComponent(window.location),
        allowMaximize: true,
        showClose: true,
        width: 500,
        height: 160,
        dialogReturnValueCallback: function (success, html) {
            if (success) {
                //Gets the picture's url from the popup, shows it and hides the links
                $("input[Title$='Feature Image']").val(thisSite + "/" + html.substring(11,html.indexOf("alt") - 2));
                var tagId = $("input[Title$='Feature Image']").attr("id");
                var testLinkDiv = "
Test Image Link" +"
";
                $(testLinkDiv).insertAfter($('td.ms-formlabel:contains("Feature Image")').parent('tr'));
            }
        }
    };

    $("input[Title$='Feature Image']").focus(function(){
        $('#testFeaturedImage').hide();
        if($(this).val() == ""){
            //Featured Image is blank, enable click to add
            thisDialog = SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(dialog);
        }
        else{
            var imgIndex = -1;
            var tagId = $(this).attr("id");
            //A value exists in the featured image textbox.  Allow user to test
            var testLinkDiv = "
Test Image Link" +"
";
            $(testLinkDiv).insertAfter($('td.ms-formlabel:contains("Feature Image")').parent('tr'));
        }
    }).blur(function(){
        if($(this).val() == ""){
            $('#testFeaturedImage').hide();
        }
    });

Today's world is complex and stressful, which causes feelings of anxiety to arise in many. You need to know how to relax in order to deal with your anxiety. The article below has tips that will help you relax more and stop anxiety.
Try avoiding negative people if you can, as they can add to your anxiety throughout the day. Surround yourself with people who are optimistic, so they can assist you in having a positive perspective on your life and the issues you will eventually experience.
Sometimes, those who feel the most stress or anxiety are simply not allowing themselves enough opportunities to relax sufficiently. Dedicate some of your time each day to relax. Doing this type of therapy about twenty minutes each day, will drop anxiety levels as time goes on.
Doing silly things while in the midst of a panic attack can help you forget about your anxiety. Thought distraction is the best way to overcome a panic attack. Do whatever is needed in order to get out of this predicament.
Rub both hands together for a while, cover your eyes with them and focus on relaxation. Many people find this an effective way to escape feelings of anxiety. When anxiety next makes its way into your life, try this.
The most important first step for you in your quest to eliminate anxiety is to acknowledge that you have the condition. It is challenging to take the first step, however, admitting there is an issue is the first step on the recovery path.
Consider getting a professional evaluation of your anxiety. A lot of times, you might be underestimating the issues in your life, or you are just not taking good care of yourself. Professionals are trained to see things you may not see that are stressful, as well as knowing how to get you feeling well again.
Music is a positive tool in the battle against anxiety. If you feel like you are suffering from anxiety, put on your favorite album. Focus on each word in the lyrics. You will soon forget the thing that is making you anxious. Try to entertain your mind at all times.
When you are threatened with anxiety, try to distract yourself. Try being around others and do activities you enjoy. Distracting your mind and keeping it busy can help you from dwelling too much on your worries.
Now that you know effective ways to combat anxiety, keep them in mind for future use. Stress is a common cause of anxiety. So, to get you to where you're in control and not your anxiety, take this advice and use it every day so you don't have to worry as much.

You are here: Home / Healing / What is Orgonite?
A perfectly preserved state of projective and receptive energy, orgonite is a metaphysical tool made of a petrochemical resin, organic materials, crystals and metal shavings. Orgonite works continuously to clear its surroundings of negativity and harmful environmental elements. Beautifully organized and fixed in a permanent state of being, the contents are meant to both attract and repel orgone energy, creating a cleansing affect. Orgone energy is bio-energy; our internal energy as well as the energy in our surrounding environment, also referred to as "Chi" or "Prana".
Orgone is said to sustain the projective and receptive energies of the organic and non-organic materials in a state of constant excitement. Each orgonite contains a quartz crystal, which gives off a charge when pressure is applied to it. Metal scrapings will repel or project the orgone or Chi while the organic resin and other organic materials attract or receive the orgone. The resin shrinks when it cools and therefore constantly applies pressure to it's contents. All this results in the permeation of a charge which helps to cleanse and balance stagnant and negative energies and bring them to a balanced state.
Orgonite pyramids, like crystals and colors, can be used for various specific intentions based on the type of materials included in each one. For example, a rose quartz orgonite will help bring about feelings of harmony, compassion, respect and forgiveness while increasing your ability to love yourself and engage in meaningful loving relationships. This rose quartz orgonite wand is made with metal flakes, resin, and rose quartz crystals.
Kheops, Intl., offers a collection of orgonite products including orgonite pyramids, such as the 7 chakras pyramid with seven different layers of crystals to correspond with and cleanse each of the seven chakras. The Orgonite Collection also includes many beautifully crafted and uniquely individual pendulums, pendants, massage wands, spheres and jewelry.
Enhance your creativity and imagination while clearing your space of negativity and harmful environmental elements with our Green Aventurine Orgone sphere. Our Amethyst infused Orgone Massage Wand fits nicely in your hand and has a rounded end for spreading energy and a pointed one for directing it. Amethyst helps to balance the crown chakra, is used in healing and to strengthen awareness. We offer an orgone pyramid for each of the seven chakras, such as the carnelian orgone pyramid for the sacral chakra.
Orgonite has many applications depending on the types of materials used and makes a wonderful addition to any room, office, spa or workspace. By harnessing and projecting vital life force energy, you can feel the positive effects of the many beautiful orgonite products Kheops, Intl., is pleased to offer.
NEWEST EMPLOYEE FOUND THIS BLOG VERY HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND ORGONITE AND THE PROCESS WITHIN IT. CHANGING TEMPERATURES PUTS PRESSURE ON THE CONTENTS, INCLUDING THE RESIN, WHICH HELPS MOVE CHI/PLANA THROUGH THE ORGONITE, AND THE OTHER PARTS IN THE ORGONITE HELP TO ABSORB/TRANSFORM NEGATIVE CHI/PLANA TO MORE POSITIVE.
It is very interesting how orgonite works and so glad you found this blog useful. A constant "scrubbing" action of projective and receptive energies causes this bio-organic material to work. Hope you enjoy yours!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kris Kobach rode his national reputation as an advocate for tough immigration and voting rules to a job atop President Donald Trump's short-lived election-fraud commission. But Kansas voters rejected his no-apologies conservatism in this week's election for governor.
Now the Republican's hard-line, in-your-face approach could help him land his next political position, possibly in the Trump administration.
Kobach's name immediately popped up Wednesday, after Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to resign. If Trump picks someone else to replace Sessions, Kobach's name is almost certain to surface again when Trump has another big post to fill.
"I guarantee you that if there is a place that he can find, he'll find a home for Kris," said state Rep. John Whitmer, a conservative Wichita Republican and a Kobach ally.
Kobach, whose term as Kansas secretary of state ends in January, did not immediately return cellphone messages Thursday seeking comment. Whitmer said Kobach had planned to go hunting. Kobach spokeswoman Danedri Herbert texted, "No comment," in response to a question about the speculation that Kobach was being considered for U.S. attorney general.
"The Republicans are going to be fighting for the values we hold dear, regardless of which offices we Republicans hold," he said.
In nearly eight years as secretary of state of state, Kobach turned what had been a backwater of state politics into a high-profile office by successfully pushing for laws to require all voters to show a photo ID at the polls and new voters to provide papers documenting their U.S. citizenship when registering.
Kansas went further than any other state in enforcing a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration until a federal judge struck down that law in June as an unconstitutional violation of voting rights. The state has appealed, and the case is likely to outlast Kobach's tenure.
Before becoming vice chairman of the president's voter fraud commission, Kobach was a source behind Trump's unsubstantiated claim that millions of votes were cast illegally in the 2016 presidential race for Democrat Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote.
An early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign, Kobach advised the campaign and later the White House on homeland security issues.
The day before the August primary, Trump tweeted his "full & total Endorsement!" of Kobach, which helped him narrowly defeat GOP Gov. Jeff Colyer. Trump had a rally in Topeka in October partly to boost Kobach's campaign, telling the crowd he would have liked to put Kobach in his administration.
Republicans expanded their narrow 51-49 majority in the U.S Senate, potentially making a Kobach confirmation easier.
The narrow GOP majority had presented a possible obstacle. In July 2017, Trump nominated then-Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback as U.S. ambassador at large for international freedom. But the Senate did not vote to confirm the appointment until January. Vice President Mike Pence had to break a tie.
In a May 2017 interview with The Associated Press, Kobach said he had been offered an undersecretary's position in the Department of Homeland Security and a White House position coordinating immigration enforcement. The interview was after Trump named him to the election fraud commission but before Kobach formally launched his campaign for governor.

Skepticism vs Cynicism
The line between skepticism and cynicism is a bit too blurry for many people. Today we bring it into focus.
Filed under Logic & Persuasion
Skeptical conclusions are often unpopular ones. That's why skepticism toward them was needed: whenever there's an idea that many people accept despite evidence to the contrary, it's usually because their support is ideology-driven. And when support for an idea is ideological, findings that the idea does not hold up are often met with hostility. I get this after every weekly show: my skeptical conclusion is rejected by some, often based on ideology.
It's important to recognize that nobody thinks their beliefs are wrong — that would violate the definition of a belief. Most people who hold fringe beliefs are aware that others do not embrace them — cue the familiar position "Scientists don't accept this idea because they can't fit it into their worldview." In short, when we observe that others disagree with our beliefs, logic mandates that it is they who are wrong. Beliefs are those ideas that we believe to be true. Therefore we cannot accept that a genuinely skeptical process of following the evidence would show our beliefs to be untrue. When someone disputes our beliefs, and claims to have arrived at that conclusion skeptically, we know they're wrong. We determine that their process was not skeptical, but cynical.
So, each week, I get emails from people who tell me I wasn't skeptical enough when I attacked their sacred cow, and that I defaulted to the easy position of cynicism. Had I been more skeptical and open-minded, they say, I would have come to see the truth. I'm cynical about reflexology. I'm cynical about alien visitation. I'm cynical about faith healing or psychic premonition or the value of detox cleanses.
Cynicism is like pornography in that it can be hard to define, but we know it when we see it. It can be defaulting to a position of negativity. It can be the assumption of negative motives. It can mean putting our own position on a pedestal and laughing off every other position. This is when cynicism is the most tempting: we hold a position we know (or believe) to be true, and someone else expresses a position that's the opposite. We tend to react with a negative view toward that person's position, without thinking whether we should question our own position.
There are a number of circumstances in which someone like me, who tries to be responsibly skeptical, gets accused of being only a mere cynic. Obviously one of the circumstances would be when I actually am being cynical. I do it, we all do. More than we should. But when I'm here in my chair, working carefully and double checking myself, never speaking off the cuff and always with a chance to go back and edit myself, it's pretty rare.
But if that is what happened — if a listener caught me asleep at the wheel and being cynical — that still wouldn't make my conclusions wrong. All it would prove is that I just didn't try very hard to make sure it's right.
Another such circumstance under which I am called a cynic is when I voice a conclusion that differs from some listener's preferred conclusion. Calling me a cynic is an easy way to dismiss my process that led me to the unwanted conclusion. It suggests that I just waved my hand at some idea that contradicted my own preferred dogma, and I said some negative stuff about it. You see, if my negativity toward the idea is due to mere cynicism rather than to responsible skepticism, the door is left open for the idea to still meet scientific standards. So leveling that charge against me is a pretty attractive prospect.
However, merely accusing me of cynicism instead of skepticism simply because you didn't like what I had to say is, itself, cynical. It is the assumption of a negative motivation on my part, or at the very least the assumption of intellectual laziness. I get this a lot from 9/11 truthers and other conspiracy theorists. They often accuse me of not being skeptical enough about the government. By dismissing their preferred conspiracy theory, they say I am being cynical and not skeptical. A truly skeptical analysis, they say — an examination of the government's processes based on proven evidence — would reveal the government to be a slick, well-oiled, watertight disinformation machine. They say.
I do not agree that evidence proves the government, and all the tens of thousands of people of which it consists, routinely operates as a well-disciplined unit to spread finely-tuned lies of massive proportions, and to organize the murders of thousands of citizens, with everyone willfully participating in lockstep. It's true that evidence proves small, cohesive groups within the government will sometimes cross lines and break laws, like the Watergate break-in and the Iran-Contra scandal, because they are often caught and prosecuted. But anything much larger would be checked and balanced even more quickly than those were. Our two-party system and three branches of government are eagle-eyed on the lookout for breaches by their counterparts. It's the big political win they're all looking for, in addition to being fundamentally ethical. It's just not realistic to think that any organization so complex and strung-out and full of conflicting interests could ever operate in such a cooperative manner to break so many laws and kill so many people with everyone thinking it's a good idea and without a single person ever blowing a whistle. To regard that many people as so uniformly evil is about as cynical as it's possible to be. Yet, many of the 9/11 truthers who email me state that uniform evil should be the default assumption about government — the null hypothesis, if you will. Unless I take the position of maximum possible cynicism, I'm not being skeptical enough. Well, I disrespectfully disagree.
Skepticism reveals many flaws in government, and in other systems. Cynicism sees only flaws everywhere.
However, let's change gears, and look at some cases where I think cynicism might actually be the appropriate response. When we think about a subject that involves the paranormal, such as ghosts or psychic powers or energy therapies — fields that have been exhaustively tested against rigorous standards for decades and failed 100% of the time — some cynicism is justified. I don't mean that it's the best way to approach these topics, only that it's a justified approach. The chances that they are real are so small as to be indistinguishable from zero. Here's where I might reference episode 530, "No, You Shouldn't Question Everything". We have applied so much skepticism to these topics, and come up with the same answer so many times, that it's simply no longer worth the effort to question them further. Being skeptical about reiki is a waste of skepticism. Philosophical imperatives of intellectual integrity demand that we treat reiki with responsible, open-minded skepticism; but basic pragmatism and common sense tell us that we'll be just fine if we give it a nice cynical pat-on-the-back on its way out the door.
In this sense, cynicism can be a heuristic. This is one interpretation of the point Bertrand Russell was making when he posed the thought experiment of claiming, without evidence, that a teapot orbits the Sun between the Earth and Mars. It has no reasonable chance of validity, and so it hasn't really earned the right to skeptical analysis. It's when we apply Hitchens' Razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". The absolute vacuum of evidence for Russell's teapot renders any careful skepticism uselessly premature. It leaves room only for pure, unadulterated cynicism. And that cynicism is absolutely justified in cases like this.
But note how high that bar is set. Cynicism can be justified when there is no plausible likelihood that the concept is real. Maybe that's because it's made-up and silly, like Russell's teapot; or because it's failed hundreds or thousands of tests and never had any credibility to begin with, like our paranormal claims. But such concepts as these sit in a class of their own. Few of the ideas that intelligent adults debate meet that high bar for the justification of cynicism. Most of our ideas are at least debatable. The things that we actually talk about with our friends, ideas in which intelligent, educated people see potential value, are not in that class. I would include, in this class, concepts that we typically think of as "settled science", such as climate change, vaccination, fluoridation, and the value of paying a premium for organic produce. For all of these, there are arguments that are counter to the accepted scientific perspective but that are still within the ballpark of scientific plausibility. There is at least something intelligent to talk about. And whenever an intelligent subject is on the table, any expressed cynicism betrays a foolish lack of skepticism.
It's perhaps an unfortunate bit of collateral damage from doing what I do for a living that I can see pseudoscience coming a mile away. Say there's an advertisement for some new home medical device, such as one I was shown recently, which was a wand with some blue LED lights in it. You're supposed to brush this wand over your head and it cures baldness. Supposedly. I've done episodes on unapproved medical devices. I've done episodes on baldness cures. I've done episodes on why people believe things work when the evidence clearly shows they don't. And I'm super familiar with all the most common marketing terms that charlatans slap onto their ads for such products. So I rolled my eyes and knew, without even looking at any studies, that this thing was 100% bogus and fraudulent, and I knew that the company would still make a million dollars because it's so effortless to sell magically easy solutions to desperate people dealing with difficult problems. Now, let's be clear: that reaction of mine was purely cynical. It may have been informed cynicism, because I do know the field of pseudoscience as well as anyone on the planet; but it was still cynical. I'm not a trained medical professional, I don't keep up with the hair restoration journals, and it's entirely possible that someone found some specific wavelength or some attenuation frequency that has some actual physical effect. It's not very likely, but the fact is that hair restoration is outside of my core competence and I should give it the skeptical consideration it's due.
So there's my honest confession for you. I react with great cynicism to almost every new topic idea that comes across my desk. But, fortunately for Skeptoid listeners, the show is not about Brian's Personal Reaction. If I think the topic is enlightening enough to warrant a show, I will do the research. I will not cherrypick. I will deliberately search for credible results that contradict my preconceived notion. I've been surprised before by what I've found, and I will be surprised again. I will organize what I find into as engaging a narrative as I can. This is what I do for a living, and I do it as well as I'm able to. I enjoy it. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to do this. And one of the ways I insure that opportunity is to promise to leave my personal cynicism outside, and keep Skeptoid skeptical.

Worldwide IT services revenue totalled $748-billion in 2007, a 10,5% increase from 2006 revenue of $677-billion.
"This strong growth, combined with strong first quarter results for market leaders, runs counter to the gloomy and widespread economic concerns arising in the US," says Kathryn Hale, research vice-president of Gartner's worldwide IT services group.
"Many providers are successfully selling buyer value propositions that external spending on IT services and solutions can help customers save money and be more productive, even in a profoundly uncertain economic climate."
Across all IT services, IBM continued to be the worldwide market leader, with 7,2% of the market. IBM and Accenture delivered strong growth rates, 12,2% and 19,7% respectively, and were the only companies in the top six that experienced revenue growth rates above the overall market average.
While global sourcing makes the location of a provider¹s headquarters increasingly less relevant, Gartner tracks this information for more than 360 vendors who collectively account for more than 70% of end-user spending worldwide.
While India-based vendors' IT services revenue grew 38% in 2007, these companies earned only 4,1% of revenue tracked, and US-based vendors dominated the IT services market with 55,4% of that total.
"To build on their success in 2007, service providers should focus on selling services that will deliver visible return in 2008, either in cost, speed to market, or business impact," says Hale. "They should also focus on growing sales in emerging markets that enjoy faster-growing economies and high growth rates in IT services."

'Texas 7' prison-break gang member gets execution reprieve
The inmate, claiming religious freedom, won a reprieve from execution for the killing of a police officer
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A member of the "Texas 7" gang of escaped prisoners won a reprieve Thursday night from execution for the fatal shooting of a suburban Dallas police officer after claiming his religious freedom would be violated if his Buddhist spiritual adviser wasn't allowed to be in the death chamber with him.
The U.S. Supreme Court blocked Patrick Murphy's execution about two hours after he could have been executed.
Lookout man for 'Texas 7' set for execution
Attorneys say member of 'Texas 7' should be spared
Murphy's attorneys had said that Texas prison officials' efforts to prevent the inmate's spiritual adviser, a Buddhist priest, from being with him when he is put to death violated Murphy's First Amendment right to freedom of religion. Murphy, 57, became a Buddhist almost a decade ago while incarcerated.
Lower courts had rejected Murphy's argument.
But in a concurring opinion Thursday night, the newest justice on the court, Brett Kavanaugh, said the Texas prison system allows a Christian or Muslim inmate to have a state-employed Christian or Muslim religious adviser present either in the execution room or in the adjacent viewing room. But inmates of other religious denominations who want their religious adviser to be present can have the adviser present only in the viewing room and not in the execution room itself, he said.
"As this Court has repeatedly held, governmental discrimination against religion_in particular, discrimination against religious persons, religious organizations, and religious speech_violates the Constitution," he wrote. "The government may not discriminate against religion generally or against particular religious denominations."
Kavanaugh said Texas can't move forward with Murphy's punishment unless the state permits his Buddhist adviser or another Buddhist reverend of the state's choosing to accompany Murphy in the chamber during the execution.
"What the State may not do, in my view, is allow Christian or Muslim inmates but not Buddhist inmates to have a religious adviser of their religion in the execution room," the justice said.
Kavanaugh did not hear any death penalty cases in his 12 years as an appeals court judge joining the Supreme Court.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jeremy Desel the state would review the ruling to determine how to respond.
Desel said Murphy would be returned from the Huntsville Unit prison, where executions are carried out, to the Polunsky Unit, about 45 miles to the east, where death row inmates are imprisoned.
"I knew there was a thin thread of possibility," a smiling Murphy said from a holding cell just a few feet from the death chamber after he was told by the warden he received a reprieve.
Texas officials argued to the court, citing security concerns, that only chaplains who had been extensively vetted by the prison system were allowed within the chamber. While Christian and Muslim chaplains were available, no Buddhist priest was. Prison officials allowed Murphy to visit with his spiritual adviser for about 40 minutes Thursday afternoon.
Murphy was among the inmates who escaped from a South Texas prison in December 2000 and then committed numerous robberies, including the one in which they shot 29-year-old Irving police Officer Aubrey Hawkins 11 times, killing him.
Hawkins, who had been with the Irving police force about 14 months, had just finished Christmas Eve dinner with his family when he responded to the call about the robbery at a sporting goods store and was ambushed.
The escaped inmates were arrested a month later in Colorado, ending a six-week manhunt. One of them killed himself as officers closed in and the other six were convicted of killing Hawkins and sentenced to death. Murphy would have been the fifth to be executed. The sixth inmate, Randy Halprin, has not been given an execution date.
Murphy would have been the fourth inmate put to death this year in the U.S. and the third executed in Texas, the nation's busiest capital punishment state.
In February, the Supreme Court rejected a request from a Muslim death row inmate in Alabama to have his Islamic spiritual adviser be present in the execution chamber. Dominique Ray, who was executed , also argued his religious rights were violated because Alabama allows a Christian chaplain employed by the prison to be in the execution chamber.
Murphy was convicted under Texas' law of parties, which holds a person criminally responsible for the actions of another if they are engaged in a conspiracy.
Murphy's attorneys had also asked the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to stop his execution, arguing his death sentence is unconstitutional because he was only the lookout during the robbery, never firing at Hawkins because he had left the scene before the shooting began.
The appeals court earlier this week turned down the request while the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles declined to recommend either a commutation of his sentence or a 90-day reprieve.
"It is unconscionable that Patrick Murphy may be executed for a murder he did not commit that resulted from a robbery in which he did not participate," his attorneys, David Dow and Jeff Newberry, said in a statement.
Toby Shook, the lead prosecutor who handled Murphy's case and those of the other five members, said Murphy actively participated in the robbery, monitoring a police scanner from a getaway vehicle and telling the other inmates when Hawkins was coming to the back of the store.
"He alerted them. That allowed them to set up their ambush," said Shook, who is now a criminal defense attorney in Dallas.
Murphy was serving 50 years for a Dallas sexual assault but was only 15 months away from being released on mandatory parole when he took part in the prison escape.
Shook said Murphy has a very long and violent criminal history, including molesting his step-sister and pulling a gun on his father.
"They all were violent felons," Shook said. "So, he fit in perfectly with the rest of the Texas 7. He actively participated in all their robberies and all their crimes when they were out on the run."

Q: How to remove off-screen desktop gadget? I was stupidly messing around with one of my desktop gadgets, and I ended up getting it stuck in the corner of the screen so much that the x-button won't show anymore. This is a big problem because the only solutions I could find is to click the x-button. Is there a way I could remove it from the desktop WITHOUT the x-button?

A: Sure! Go to your start menu and type "gadget" in the start menu. Click the "view list of running gadgets". Then remove the gadget in question.
Also, you should be able to move the gadget back into the display by just clicking and dragging on part of it. (Unless that invokes some gadget function...)

Data scientist Matthew Coatney took algorithms created for music and protein sequences, respectively, and applied them to analyzing global public-health data. Researchers wanted better insight into health outcomes across the world. They needed to break out of the binary, simplistic perspective of "developed" versus "developing" nations. Coatney's work took decades of time-series data and enabled detailed comparison between individual countries based on public policy, living conditions, and health outcomes.

Oliver Selfridge, one of the most influential thinkers in AI, had his ah-ha moment while reading Milton's "Paradise Lost." This 17th century epic poem tells the story of Adam and Eve cast from the Garden of Eden in the war between God and Satan.

Selfridge developed the four-tier "Pandaemonium Architecture" for visual pattern recognition, comprised of image demons pushing data to feature demons pushing data to cognitive demons pushing data to decision demons. This architecture revolutionized the field, and Selfridge became known as the "Father of Machine Perception."

Today we continue our series Seven Letters to Seven Churches. As we look at this collection of letters in the book of Revelation, it is helpful to remember that they are pictures of every church we have ever known. Every church in the world today, including Morningside, looks like one of these churches or maybe a composite of these churches. They serve as an example of the way the church functions. They also serve as an example of the way the church dysfunctions, as you see clearly revealed in these letters.
Let's review the churches we have studied thus far in this series. The church in Ephesus suffered the loss of their first love, the love for God. They had also lost their joy and ability to love others. The letter to the church in Smyrna enjoined the Christians to stand firm under the intense pressure of persecution. Their beloved bishop, the elderly Polycarp, served as an example. The fact that he was a martyr showed them what it means to hold fast to faith. The church in Pergamum resembled those live oak trees along the coast of South Carolina, which can withstand all kinds of pressure from the outside, such as hurricanes and tornadoes; but they cannot endure decay from the inside. The church in Pergamum needed to regain their sense of holiness and dependence on the Word of God. These letters are practical for our time, practical for us here at Morningside. We need the advice they provide just as much as those first-century Christians did.
Today as we come to the church at Thyatira we see the longest letter of the seven. I invite you to turn in your Bible to Revelation 2:18-29. Hear now the Word of God.
26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one 'will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery'—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
The small town of Thyatira was perhaps the least significant of the cities mentioned so far. The governor, Pliny, had dismissed it as being of little importance. A Roman garrison was housed there, but its primary purpose was to protect Pergamum. Thyatira had no natural fortifications and they built no large temples in a prominent location, as some other cities did. We see little or no Caesar-worship in Thyatira.
The town was located on an important trade route. We know that carpenters, dyers of wool, sellers of goods, and even tent makers lived and did business there. We also know that the first Christian woman who was a member of the church in Philippi, Lydia, was from Thyatira. She was called a seller of purple, which meant that she sold a purple cloth from which royal garments were made. She perhaps sold the cloth used to make the emperor's garments.
The first and only time that the book of Revelation mentions the Son of God is here in this letter. This important title leaves no doubt about Jesus' identity. The Son of God is described as having eyes like "blazing fire," eyes that pierce even the deepest disguises, the lies of the human heart, and the pretensions of God's people. The feet of the Son of God are "like burnished bronze" that can trample underfoot and punish all wrong. The church in Thyatira needed to be reminded of these attributes and capabilities of the Son of God.
If we had seen this church at Thyatira we would have probably been greatly impressed. It must have been very attractive. The beginning of the letter suggests that it was thriving and growing. Every external appearance indicated a busy, bustling, active church. John tells them, "I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first." This church had many people who obviously manifested the love of Christ by serving others. They had faith in God's Word and expressed concern for many others. John writes that they had persevered and were stronger than in the beginning. As more people became involved the church grew, and their deeds were to be commended.
Something, however, was amiss in Thyatira. We begin to learn deeper facts about the church and come to that old admonition, "You cannot judge a book by its cover." Thyatira was the most corrupt of all the churches. This corruption merited the reference to those blazing eyes and bronzed feet. John writes, "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophet." John does not mince words here. As I read Verses 20-23 in today's text, you may have thought, That passage should be rated R if not X. Remember though that these stern words written here in the New Testament were inspired by the Holy Spirit and spoken by the Living Christ.
I heard the story of a fellow who owned a restaurant in a small Southern town. Customers who liked good ole country food had actually requested that he add frog legs to the menu.
It is amazing how much commotion a very small group can make in the life of a church.
In the church at Thyatira just one woman was causing all the problems, and what a woman she was! Christ referred to her as Jezebel, giving her the name of the most evil woman in the Old Testament. Remember that that Jezebel, the daughter of the king of Sidon and wife of King Ahab, wore the pants in that family. She was in control. Jezebel was particularly noted for killing the prophets of God and for setting up worship to Baal, a fertility god. She spread a degraded type of worship that involved immoral activity among the ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom. She herself supported over 800 prophets of Baal.
We also remember Jezebel for the attempt she made on Elijah's life after their famous encounter on top of Mount Carmel. Elijah was not afraid of 480 prophets of Baal, but he was afraid of Jezebel. He ran for his life when she started after him. She actually murdered her neighbor Naboth because her husband wanted his vineyard. According to the prophecy of the Old Testament, Jezebel was thrown from her palace window to the courtyard below where dogs devoured her body.
We see in the Old Testament a number of other women prophets. The four daughters of Philip, the great deacon and spirit-filled evangelist, were good prophets. The living Christ, speaking through John to the church in Thyatira, speaks against a woman in the church: "You have a Jezebel among you." His rebuke does not stem from the fact that she is a woman. He is angered that she is an evil woman who leads people astray and acts in an immoral way. This woman named Jezebel is not offering salvation. She is speaking in deep secrets, in mysteries, in what John calls the secrets of Satan. Beware of religious experiences that rely on secrets. They only lead to further problems.
I found a limerick that seems to make sense in this situation: "A sailor on duty was frantic when he fell in the briny Atlantic. After hours at sea he was saved, you see, and hoisted aboard the Titanic." This kind of salvation is no good.
Trouble in Thyatira also existed because of the link between the trade unions and pagan worship. A business owner basically had to belong to a trade union in order to ensure that he could make a living. Christians found it very difficult to survive in the business world if they were not part of the union, or trade guilds as they were also known. Each guild recognized its own Greek god by requiring its members to take part in the meals designed to honor the god. They were even required to take part in sacrifices to those pagan gods.
These guilds met frequently, and they met for a common meal. Such a meal was, at least in part, a religious ceremony. It would probably meet in a heathen temple, and it would certainly begin with a libation to the gods and the meal itself would largely consist of meat offered to idols. The official position of the church meant that a Christian could not attend such a meal. This was the problem these Thyatira Christians faced. In order to make a living they had to belong to a union, but to attend the union was to become involved, or to be sorely pressured to become involved, with the worship of idols…So they had to make a choice. It was difficult for a Christian to live in Thyatira for this very reason.
Can you see the error in that reasoning? It reminds me of the prophet Isaiah's words: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:20).
Paul had also challenged this way of thinking in his letter to the Romans when he addressed what in his day was called the libertines. Romans 6:1 begins, "What shall we say then? Shall we sin all the more so that the grace of God may abound?" Their reasoning was, "If this God of grace wants to forgive sins, we will just give Him a lot to forgive. He is certainly up to that. We can disregard all the rules and regulations because God will forgive us." Can you see that we have come around to this error in our way of thinking?
Dr. Karl Menninger, in his book entitled Whatever Became of Sin?, said that we have started calling sin "a mistake" or "a personality flaw." We have begun excusing sin. A very devout Methodist, Dr. Menninger said that sin is real and that when we sin the only remedy is to seek the gift of God – eternal life – through Jesus Christ our Lord (Roman 6:23).
Just as in the letter to Pergamum, John again relates the sin of adultery – the unfaithfulness to a marriage partner – to the sin of idolatry – the unfaithfulness to God. We see a reference to sexual sin in the text today. The two are often connected in Scripture as in, for example, the book of Hosea.
We must ask ourselves if we have one or more idols. We may have many possibilities. Whenever we deliberately reject the Lord's authority, we displace Him. We put something else on the throne of God, such as pleasure, wealth, power, personal ambition, or fame. The way we invest our money and energy offers our greatest temptation in terms of idolatry.
How can we identify our personal idol? First, we can perform a self-diagnosis just by looking at the stubs in our checkbook or by going to our online banking account. We can examine how we spend our money. Matthew 6:2 tells us, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Looking at a calendar and inspecting how we spend our time and energy can quickly identify what pulls us away from the Lord.
The woman called Jezebel in the church at Thyatira and those who followed her were given the opportunity to repent. Just as the Old Testament Jezebel refused to repent, so did this group addressed in John's letter.
Today, the first Sunday of Lent, is a time for repentance. The grace of God is not cheap. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote about the cost of discipleship and the cost of grace. He says that grace, the unmerited gift of God, is free. It was, however, purchased at a very expensive price. We dare not cheapen grace. We must depend on the mercy of God. The choir sang for us the beautiful anthem "Lord Have Mercy." It comes from Luke 18:13, a prayer of the publican who fell on his knees, beat his breast, and cried out, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" This statement, called the Jesus Prayer, became an entreaty in ancient Christianity that was used repeatedly in all kinds of situations. That prayer is appropriate for every one of us today because we are all tempted to go astray into our own kind of idolatry.
On Ash Wednesday I went to our Prayer Room to pray for this church and to pray about this sermon. Honestly it took me a while to get a grip on this topic and figure out where to go with Jezebel. I looked up and saw there on the wall the stained glass window, which came from the former location of Morningside on South Converse Street. That picture is based on the account in Luke 10 when Jesus goes to the home of Mary and Martha, two sisters who live in Bethany. Martha is so busy, busy, busy, making preparations for a meal; but Mary comes and sits at the feet of Jesus.
Jesus tells this church in Thyatira, "All the churches will know that I am he who searches the hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds." The church can be purified, strengthened, and helped. The letter concludes with the instructions to hold on, to hold fast: "I will give authority over the nations…just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star." The reference to the morning star previously appears in Psalm 2. This authority over the nations is shared with the Lord Jesus Christ.
That wonderful passage is so appropriate after our recent close encounter with a huge rock flying through space and hitting Earth. We must get up early in the morning before daylight to see the planet Venus, which is also called the morning star. In Revelation 22:16 Jesus repeats this imagery: "I am the bright and morning star." Those who hold fast, who have Jesus as our guide and inspiration have hope ever before us.
Do you know Christ Jesus as your Savior? Have you acknowledged him as the Lord of your life? If not, I invite you to make that decision today.

Q: How to add multi EditItemTemplate in ListView asp.net as Title
in my code,there are 2 buttons  : "btnA" and "btnB"

When I press btnA , I expect that the ListView will show "EditItemTemplate_Edit" and do not show "EditItemTempPlate_Reset"
btnB is similar to btnA

I already added 2 EditItemTemplates in ListView like this :
                        <EditItemTemplate>

                                <asp:Label ID="Label_Factory" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("test1") %>' />

                                <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("test2") %>' />

                        </EditItemTemplate>

I have already tried using script to set "display" -> "none" but it was not work
plz teach me how to make this work
thanks very much ~"~

A: I actually suggest in these cases to not even bother with the templates.
You can actually use less markup, less code, and less messy UI for the user.
Why not just let them tab around - make as many changes as they want - almost like a Excel sheet.
then have ONE save button - and on un-do button.
That way:
They just edit - not all this song and dance to hit edit + save buttons
So less UI, less code, and you can just tab around on ANY row - just edit.
Much less code.
So, say we have this markup for the listview.

<asp:ListView ID="ListView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames="ID"  >
  <ItemTemplate>

      <asp:TextBox ID="txtFirst" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Firstname") %>' />
      <asp:TextBox ID="txtLast" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("LastName") %>' />
      <asp:TextBox ID="txtCity" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("City") %>' />
      <asp:CheckBox ID="Active" runat="server" Checked='<%# Eval("Active") %>'  />

    </ItemTemplate>
    <LayoutTemplate>

        Firstname
        LastName
        City
        Active

 </LayoutTemplate>
 </asp:ListView>

 <asp:Button ID="cmdSave" runat="server" Text="Save" CssClass="btn-primary" OnClick="cmdSave_Click1" />

 <asp:Button ID="cmdAdd" runat="server" Text="Add Row" CssClass="btn-primary" style="margin-left:20px" OnClick="cmdAdd_Click1"/>

Note how MUCH LESS markup we have.
The code to load this lv looks like this:
    private DataTable rstPeople = new DataTable();

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            LoadGrid();
            ViewState["MyTable"] = rstPeople;
            Session["test"] = "hello";
        }
        else
            rstPeople = (DataTable)ViewState["MyTable"];

    }
    public void LoadGrid()
    {
        using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand("SELECT * from People",
                                    new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4)))
        {
            cmdSQL.Connection.Open();

            rstPeople.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader());

            ListView1.DataSource = rstPeople;
            ListView1.DataBind();
        }
    }

So we now have this:

So, you are now free to edit - even tab around almost like a Excel sheet. SUPER easy to edit the data - no special buttons to edit/save each row.
Very nice for the user - no huge UI and clicking and messing around to edit.
And the save button code, again REALLY simple since we send the WHOLE grid edits back to the database in one simple edit!!!
(and ONE update operation for the WHOLE grid!!!).
Save button code:
    protected void cmdSave_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {
        // pull grid rows back to table.

        foreach (ListViewItem rRow in ListView1.Items)
        {
            int RecordPtr = rRow.DataItemIndex;

            DataRow OneDataRow;

            OneDataRow = rstPeople.Rows[RecordPtr];
            OneDataRow["FirstName"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("txtFirst")).Text;
            OneDataRow["LastName"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("txtLast")).Text;
            OneDataRow["City"] = ((TextBox)rRow.FindControl("txtCity")).Text;
            OneDataRow["Active"] = ((CheckBox)rRow.FindControl("Active")).Checked;
        }

        // now send table back to database with updates

        string strSQL = "SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName, City, Active from People WHERE ID = 0";

        using (SqlCommand cmdSQL = new SqlCommand(strSQL,
                                    new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.TEST4)))
        {
            cmdSQL.Connection.Open();
            SqlDataAdapter daupdate = new SqlDataAdapter(cmdSQL);
            SqlCommandBuilder cmdBuild = new SqlCommandBuilder(daupdate);

            daupdate.Update(rstPeople);
        }
    }

So the trick? We persist the data table.
Then to save, you move grid back to data table, and then send the table BACK to the database in one simple update.
And the code to add a new row to the grid is ALSO very easy, we don't have to hit the database, but just add to the table, and then re-bind to the grid.
This code:
    protected void cmdAdd_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // add a new row to the grid

        DataRow OneRow = rstPeople.Rows.Add();
        ListView1.DataSource = rstPeople;
        ListView1.DataBind();

    }

So, notice how we save world poverty, save buckets of code, save buckets of mark-up, and we save buckets of messy UI in which the user has to hit edit/save over and over JUST to edit a few rows.
So, save code, save money, same markup, save messy user interface, provide a MUCH better and seamless user experience.
What more could you want?
Note how we defined the data table at the web page class level - by persisting that data table, then we get all of the wonderful and easy to use benefits above - including MUCH less code, much less markup, and much less user interaction required to edit a few simple rows of data.
And we ONLY send ONE update back to the database to save all rows - all of the dirty work here is thus done by .net for you, and you even wind up with not only MUCH less code, but we hit the database MUCH less for the update.
I did not add a un-do-edits button, but all it would do is call loadGrid again, and that would just re-load the data gain - and thus un-do any of our edits.
(so a un-do button would be a good idea here.)

I have no idea where the notion I had of Martha's Vineyard being a suburb in New England owned by the said, 'Martha Stewart', came from, it is most definitely an Urban myth. Put it down to the fact that I am a Kiwi on the other side of the world and forgive my previous ignorance. Once I began blogging about interior design I quickly learn't that Martha's Vineyard is a small island located South of Cape Cod, and not named after Martha. Regardless, I knew this area had some lovely homes, so I wanted to share one today.
Before you move onto the images, I want to give you a brief background to the location of this home. As I have said, Martha's Vineyard is an island South of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. It has always been a holiday destination and can be accessed by Ferry from most locations, In fact, if you don't mind the long trip, there is a ferry from New York to Martha's Vineyard taking 16.5 hours which is an awful long time but I would say well worth it if your taking a long break in one of the gorgeous homes on the island.
I imagine a fair few holiday homes are vacant at periods so they may not be furnished as a permanent home, however this gorgeous house is most likely a permanent residence for it's owner's. The interior was re-designed in 2015 by Lilliane Hart of Lilliane Hart Interiors. Lilliane's style is subtle yet lively with plenty of pattern and texture and she pays a lot of attention to detail which you will see in the first image above where Lilliane has cleverly used repeated lines in the furniture and styling. Vertical lines separate the drawers, horizontal lines feature on the lamp base and small lines both horizontal and vertical can be seen in the frame of the mirror. And, of course there is the reflection of the vertical lines of the stair rails which may possibly have been her inspiration. I love the styling on top of the chest, the lamp, bowl and lavender add softness to the heavy, solid look of the drawers.
I hope you have enjoyed touring this lovely Martha's Vineyard home, I felt it was coastal yet traditional and I imagine it brings its owners joy throughout the seasons. More photos can be viewed in the link to Lilliane's Houzz profile you will find at the beginning of this post.


Abaya is a long loose black robe traditionally worn by Muslim women.I have seen the evolution of the design from 1987 to the present. When I first came to Saudi Arabia, Abaya is not a must for non-Muslim foreigner to wear in public. We usually go out in public with modest dresses , blouse and trouser. We started to wear abaya and tarha in public during Gulf war. At first, I refused to wear black, so I wore blue abaya then dark brown until later on, I wore the traditional black abaya and tarha (black headscarf). I also got used wearing it, that sometimes when I'm out of KSA, i felt naked on the first day without wearing abaya.. strange but I guess its true!
With in recent years, a lot of fashionable Abaya became a trend in public. Different fabrics and colorful design for teenagers, embroidered and tailored with swarovski elements for women. I have different kinds of Abayas, I have abaya for daily use, for party, for meetings and for fishmarket. My friend has abaya according to what shoes she is wearing, whether its high-heeled or flat shoes.
Today, we went to a Lebanese abaya-maker, we wanted something different and practical to wear.
This abaya has no opening on the front, you wear it like a shirt, and it looks like its tailored like a butterfly.
A very practical abaya with a hood at the back, and well arm fitted sleeves.
Another design with two pockets on each side.
So ladies, which abaya do you like?

I just upgraded to Artisan and it was SO easy!! A couple of clicks and all my content/tags/categories and current projects from Storybook are transferred over:) And I didn't even have to consult my hubby (ie. my personal techie). Thank you Artisan!


"Who is there, like unto Him? He alone is Worthy! He alone is God! Besides Him there is, nor will be any other! Our God is a consuming fire! Righteous is He and Holy! Turn to the Lord! Seek Him when He still can be found! The Day of the Lord is drawing near! An awesome and fearsome day in deed! Heed the Wake Up Call! Hear the sound of the trumpet!
Sound the Alarm! Sound The Alarm! Hear Him say: "Come up Hither! Come, see that which is shortly about to take place! Return to Me you backsliding children! I await to hear your cry!" Judgement starts first with the House of God! Enter into His Awesome, Holy Presence! His Love is true! His Word Sure! He is preparing a place for us! We who are the Bride of the Lamb, are been prepared, made ready for our Heavenly Bridegroom. The Wedding Feast of the Lamb is being prepared! Are we ready? Are our lamps burning? Do we Have enough oil? Are our lamps being trimmed?
25 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming;[a] go out to meet him!' 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' 9 But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.' 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.11 "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour[b] in which the Son of Man is coming. (Mt 25:1-13 NKJ).
Are we like the wise virgins? Or_ _ _ Are we like the foolish virgins? (Spoken of in Matthew 25:1-13). We need to be sure. For the Day of the Lord is drawing near. We only have this one life; this single walk which we are privileged to live and walk. Wherefore when we live we live in Christ and when we die we die in Christ. Whether we live or die we belong to Christ Jesus (see Rom 14:7-9). He is our Lord! He is Messiah! He is our Heavenly Bridegroom! He is coming for His own. We are no longer our own, but are Christ's.
As He is so are we in this world! 17 Here is how love has been brought to maturity with us: as the Messiah is, so are we in the world. This gives us confidence for the Day of Judgment. 18 There is no fear in love. On the contrary, love that has achieved its goal gets rid of fear, because fear has to do with punishment; the person who keeps fearing has not been brought to maturity in regard to love. (1Jn4:17 Complete Jewish Bible CJB).
The foolish are not properly prepared! Often being short-sighted! They have no oil! Neither are they prepared nor their lamps trimmed! When the cry sounds "Behold the Bridegroom cometh!" They could not enter in! They did not have oil! The Groom did not know them! The Door was Shut! They were not ready! They were not allowed in! Although they knocked, cried and cried they were not allowed in. The Bridegroom had not known them!
Alternatively the Wise virgins are always prepared! Having abundant oil! Always Ready! Always waiting! Always Watching! Their lamps trimmed! They are prepared and will enter in! Are we Prepared? Are we Ready? We need to be readily prepared! Have we abundant oil for our lamps? So they need not to go out! So we are able to enter in, When our Heavenly Bridegroom is announced!
Our Heavenly Bridegroom can be announced at anytime! His return is and remains imminent! Then our lamps need to be trimmed, ready to light the way! We need to be constantly filled! Our lamps need more than sufficient oil; in case we become drowsy or our bridegroom is delayed. We need always to be wise, watchful, ready and waiting! The wise are already prepared, and able to enter when the Groom appears!
Sunday we were privileged, to attend a traditional Xhosa Wedding. The senior apostle/pastor of their fellowship invited us to attend. We were privileged to sit with them at the pastor's main table; as their honoured guests. When seated we were able to appreciate their culture, fellowship, and loving hospitality.
This so reminded us of the Lamb of God's Wedding feast which is due to take place at the close of the age. In the beginning, as always; Marriage remains implemented, through God and by God Alone! This is why a man shall leave his father's house, be joined to his wife and the two shall be one flesh. This is a mystery, yet it symbolizes the Marriage of the Lamb of God! He is Christ Jesus our Messiah! He is and always remains Lord of all! Immanuel; God with us!
He is revealed in us! He is our Heavenly Bridegroom! He is God in Flesh! He is a Husband to the widow! A Father to the fatherless! He came to woo us back to our Creator! He calls those things into being, which are not yet in being. Faith is after all the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We hope against hope, continually believing, trusting, walking by Faith. For as it is written; "the just shall live by and through their Faith." This Faith works by Grace through Love.
Even as this bride prepares herself for her husband, and their "Happy Ever After;" that is their marriage! (Their marriage bed being undefiled). Even so we the Bride of Christ daily need to be sure we remain pure and undefiled for our Heavenly Bridegroom at His Wedding Feast (the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, Who is slain before the foundation of the world!)!
We are to regularly examine ourselves; prepare our hearts for our Heavenly Bridegroom. We need to be unspotted, untainted, unblemished from this world and pure before our Bridegroom comes, to take us to Himself! We are to be holy even as our Heavenly Father is Holy! Knowing the Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom! Remember our God is a consuming fire (Heb 12:29 NKJ). We shall at times be tried and tested as gold is tried by fire, so that which is pure shall remain.
Before I forget; on Saturday (02/09/17) after the leadership had been sharing about spiritual DNA and Terror of God. While praying together:- I saw a large brand new table. On this table, there were many brand new plates, dishes and eating utensils. All shining as if just been made. I also saw what seemed to be arms and hands coming down to prepare the table. They were dressed in brand new, fresh, white linen.
I asked one of the leadership after the prayer if she could explain them to me. Whether it would be good or bad, fresh or stale, new or old. She said it is good. While thinking about this, I was reminded of the marriage supper of the Lamb. Which would be a new and precious to and for the Bride of Christ. This vision was given me the Saturday before I Am Global Ministries Sunday's service, close to us.
Great was my amazement when I saw the preparation of their service Sunday morning. Each of us were seated at a table as guests. Then we saw the bride coming to meet her groom. Both were dressed in white. The bride had just put on her veil. She told the convener of the service, she believes the Lord restored her virginity. Therefore she put on her veil. She was dressed in white.
Great was the xcitement when her groom received her, welcoming her as his own. Remember though our sins be as scarlet, our Lord is able to wash us, making us as white as snow. He who knew no sin became sin for us, so we through our acceptance of Him, could be made God's Righteousness through Him. He is our heavenly Groom! He paid the highest price for us!
He came to woo us back to Himself! Often the Scripture tells about the Lord relating to those whom call upon His Name as been forever with Him. He relates His relationship with us, as that being between the bride and her groom or visa versa the groom with his bride. We who relate to Christ as His Bride, need to allow the Lord to search our heart through His Spirit. We even now are to prepare our hearts; ourselves to be well pleasing to Him.
For we are all to appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ! Each one may receive the things done in the body, according to that which he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing the terror of the Lord; we continue to persuade men. We are well known to God, I also trust we are well known in your consciences. This I believe is what the Lord, desires for us to know through Paul's pen.
In context we are to be motivated through Christ's Love for us. After all it is His Love for us which draws us back to Him. He first loved us. He also chose us. No groom takes his bride for the sake of just being married. In fact the groom usually weds his bride to be, because he loves her. Neither will a bride marry her groom, if she doesn't love him. Marriage is, usually a lifelong covenant, contractual commitment between a husband and his spouse. Similarly marriage is also a lifetime commitment between the bride and her soon to be husband. Often we need to be reminded that God is a husband to the widow and a Father to the fatherless. Scripture also tells us God is married to the backslider (see Jer 3:13-15).
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity: that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed My voice,' saith the Lord.14 'Turn, O backsliding children,' saith the Lord, 'for I am married unto you; and I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.15 And I will give you pastors according to Mine heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.' (Jer 3:13-15 KJ21 King James Version 21st Century).
At times Israel relates to the Lord, as His betrothed. He originally called Abram out from his people, eventually blessing him. He cut covenant between Abraham and Himself. Marriage is defined by God as a Covenant between the man and his woman. This signifies the New Covenant, based on better promises. Paul covers this more fully in his letter to the Hebrews, which we may touch on briefly in this study in due course.
Remember our God is a Covenant Keeping God. This Covenant traces its roots right to the Beginning of Genesis. For in the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. He spoke and it was so. He still calls those things which are not as though they were. We find He sent His Word out, and healed all our diseases. His Word is Sure! He honours it (ie His Word) above His Name! His Name is above every other name, both in the Heavens and upon the Earth!
All Creation is awaiting the revealing of God's sons (see Rom 8:18-30). You see when God created all things, (including the creation of man); it was good! There was no fault found therein! All was created to the finest, minutest detail. Here God is both Creator and God! Besides Him there is no other! That which God has created remains pure, without spot or blemish. Originally we have been beautifully, fearfully and wonderfully made (Ps 139:12-18). Remember God created us in His image (see Gen 1:29-31). We are created a little lower than Elohim (God; other translations say angels or Heavenly Beings).
Let us draw closer to the Lord! Learn to walk in His Ways. For this to take place we need to daily seek the Lord's Face. We are to first seek God's Kingdom; His Righteousness then all these things shall be added unto us (Mt 6:33). You see God's Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom! He rules and reigns from Eternity to Eternity. He is the Alpha and Omega; The Beginning and the End. He calls us to come up unto Him.
Sound the alarm in the Holy Temple! Blow the Trumpet in Zion, Zion! Cry out to the Belov'ed! The Bridegroom is coming seeking, finding His Bride! The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is drawing nigh. Are you going to be there? Are you drawing near to Him? Are you running away from Him? My Beloved Is mine and I am His! His Banner over me is Love! Draw near to Him and He shall draw near to you.
Seek Him while He still may be found!
Our Lord awaits our cry!
neither shall He fail you!
He remains Faithful to all whom may call upon Him!
How Great is His Love!
He remains Gracious, Just, Righteous and Holy!
Holy! Holy! Holy! Is The Lord God on High!
Return to Him; For He Truly Loves you!

Lincoln Sabido charged for grocery shop robbery
Coye family assets remain locked down by court order

Tricia Pitts Anderson
(Attorney for the FIU)
Tuesday, May 6, 2014. AARON HUMES Reporting: As of late on Monday, contrary to the hopes of their attorneys, the surviving members of the Coye family were not allowed access to their bank accounts following an order lifting the freezing of the accounts by Justice Shona Griffith earlier in the day.
This is because according to multiple credible reports, a Panamanian company known as Internet Experts, S.A., otherwise doing business as Instadollar, successfully applied for an ex parte injunction from the Sureme Court on Monday afternoon, which has since been served on all financial institutions doing business with the Coye family and their attorneys.
The injunction keeps the over $1 million left after Government's Income Tax Department seized nearly half the estate for income taxes out of the Coyes' hands until the resolution of their suit on Monday, May 19.
Additionally, it overrides the order of the Court of Appeal that the $1.557 million in cash recovered from the Coyes' Johnson Street property six years ago which was to be returned to them within sixty days.
They cannot now dispose of that money in any way. Attorneys for the Coyes have been unavailable since they left court on Monday morning.
In related news, it has always been questioned how it was that the family got its hands on these large sums of money.
That led the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to take a look and initiate an ultimately failed investigation on charges of money laundering.
Attorney for the family, Richard "Dickie" Bradley, sought to unravel the mystery for reporters on Monday.
According to Bradley, late family patriarch Michael Coye owned various pieces of land and a gas station among other holdings which he decided to sell.
But he only kept some of the money in the banks and the rest at home.
Erroneously, people believed that he got the money through illegal gain, leading to the FIU's investigation.

kleptocracies -- 4/12/22
Today's selection -- from Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared M. Diamond. Why do kleptocracies thrive?:
"The difference between a kleptocrat and a wise statesman, between a robber baron and a public benefactor, is merely one of degree: a matter of just how large a percentage of the tribute extracted from producers is retained by the elite, and how much the commoners like the public uses to which the redistributed tribute is put. We consider President Mobutu of Zaire a kleptocrat because he keeps too much tribute (the equivalent of billions of dollars) and redistributes too little tribute (no functioning telephone system in Zaire). We consider George Washington a statesman because he spent tax money on widely admired programs and did not enrich himself as president. Nevertheless, George Washington was born into wealth, which is much more unequally distributed in the United States than in New Guinea villages.
"For any ranked society, whether a chiefdom or a state, one thus has to ask: why do the commoners tolerate the transfer of the fruits of their hard labor to kleptocrats? This question, raised by political theorists from Plato to Marx, is raised anew by voters in every modern election. Kleptocracies with little public support run the risk of being overthrown, either by downtrodden commoners or by upstart would-be replacement kleptocrats seeking public support by promising a higher ratio of services rendered to fruits stolen. For example, Hawaiian history was repeatedly punctuated by revolts against repressive chiefs, usually led by younger brothers promising less oppression. This may sound funny to us in the context of old Hawaii, until we reflect on all the misery still being caused by such struggles in the modern world.
"What should an elite do to gain popular support while still maintaining a more comfortable lifestyle than commoners? Kleptocrats throughout the ages have resorted to a mixture of four solutions:
1. Disarm the populace, and arm the elite. That's much easier in these days of high-tech weaponry, produced only in industrial plants and easily monopolized by an elite, than in ancient times of spears and clubs easily made at home.
2. Make the masses happy by redistributing much of the tribute received, in popular ways. This principle was as valid for Hawaiian chiefs as it is for American politicians today.
3. Use the monopoly of force to promote happiness, by maintaining public order and curbing violence. This is potentially a big and underappreciated advantage of centralized societies over noncentralized ones. Anthropologists formerly idealized band and tribal societies as gentle and nonviolent, because visiting anthropologists observed no murder in a band of 25 people in the course of a three-year study. Of course they didn't: it's easy to calculate that a band of a dozen adults and a dozen children, subject to the inevitable deaths occurring anyway for the usual reasons other than murder, could not perpetuate itself if in addition one of its dozen adults murdered another adult every three years. Much more extensive long-term information about band and tribal societies reveals that murder is a leading cause of death. For example, I happened to be visiting New Guinea's lyau people at a time when a woman anthropologist was interviewing lyau women about their life histories. Woman after woman, when asked to name her husband, named several sequential husbands who had died violent deaths. A typical answer went like this: 'My first husband was killed by Elopi raiders. My second husband was killed by a man who wanted me, and who became my third husband. That husband was killed was killed by the brother of my second husband, seeking to avenge his murder.' Such biographies prove common for so-called gentle tribespeople and contributed to the acceptance of centralized authority as tribal societies grew larger.
4. The remaining way for kleptocrats to gain public support is to construct an ideology or religion justifying kleptocracy. Band and tribes already had supernatural beliefs, just as do modern established religions. But the supernatural beliefs of bands and tribes did not serve to justify central authority, justify transfer of wealth, or maintain peace between unrelated individuals. When supernatural beliefs gained those functions and became institutionalized, they were thereby transformed into what we term a religion. Hawaiian chiefs were typical of chiefs elsewhere, in asserting divinity, divine descent, or at least a hotline to the gods. The chief claimed to serve the people by interceding for them with the gods and reciting the ritual formulas required to obtain rain, good harvests, and success in fishing.
"Chiefdoms characteristically have an ideology, precursor to an institutionalized religion, that buttresses the chief's authority. The chief may either combine the offices of political leader and priest in a single person, or may support a separate group of kleptocrats (that is, priests) whose function is to provide ideological justification for the chiefs. That is why chiefdoms devote so much collected tribute to constructing temples and other public works, which serve as centers of the official religion and visible signs of the chief's power.
"Besides justifying the transfer of wealth to kleptocrats, institutionalized religion brings two other important benefits to centralized societies. First, shared ideology or religion helps solve the problem of how unrelated individuals are to live together without killing each other -- by providing them with a bond not based on kinship. Second, it gives people a motive, other than genetic self-interest, for sacrificing their lives on behalf of others. At the cost of a few society members who die in battle as soldiers the whole society becomes much more effective at conquering other societies or resisting attacks."
