Bidding at auction is like a sport. There are competitors, spectators, an umpire, game plans and at the end there is only one winner.
For many people, the idea of attending an auction sends them into freefall and quite often they place the property on the scrap heap before they have even set foot in the front door.
It is perfectly normal to feel intimidated about the auction environment, however, you can reduce that stress by making sure you are well prepared or by using a Buyer's Agent to do it for you.
As a Buyer's Agent in Brisbane, Location One has participated in many auctions and in that have time developed skills in this pressured environment. Many people are now choosing to appoint a Buyer's Agent to represent them at auction to take the stress and anxiety out of the process.
When purchasing property, it's important to understand that the real-estate agent is working for the seller and their job is to obtain the best possible price for them, so set yourself a price and stick to it. Prices can quickly escalate in an auction environment, so be careful not to get caught up in the moment and pay over market value.
Make sure you do your homework prior to auction day as many of the conditions that apply to buying property privately or off the plan do not apply when a home is sold at auction. For example, there is no cooling off period when you buy a home at auction and if you are holding the last bid then there is no turning back.
One of the many benefits of engaging a Buyer's Agent is that they conduct due diligence on the property prior to auction day to ensure you are fully informed and have your eyes open wide. For example, understanding the history of the property and the vendor's situation is key to whether you decide to put in an offer prior to auction day. If it turns out to be a deceased estate and there are beneficiaries then it's more likely that they will go to auction, so you don't want to show your hand by putting in a prior offer.
If you are wanting to bid at the auction, then you must be registered prior to the auction commencing.
People quite often talk about dummy bids which are a ploy to raise the bidding by someone who does not intend to purchase the property. All bids must be from a registered bidder and that way if you have any concerns you can raise it through an official channel.
Finally, take an objective friend not an emotional friend with you. Buying a property at auction can be fast-paced and highly emotional so it's important that you have someone you trust and that can help you make objective decisions in the heat of the moment.
If you want to take the stress and emotion out of buying your next home or investment property then use a Buyers Agent. Location One is one of Brisbane's leading Buyers Agent and will turn your dreams into reality.

ADM-HEA is delighted to be part of ALTO UK, a project funded by phase three of the Higher Education Academy/JISC Open Educational Resources Programme www.jisc.ac.uk/oer
The ALTO Project Manager, John Casey from University of the Arts London, gives details below:
The broad aim of the ALTO UK project is the creation of Open Educational Resources (OERs) in art and design subjects for staff, students and lifelong learners in the UK and elsewhere.
Engaging with OER creation and sharing presents challenges to the Art and Design community where there is a strong tradition of studio-based practice and learning. Traditional didactic resources such as lecture notes and project briefs can be scarce in these subject areas, with the result that there can be 'gaps' when trying to create OERs along the lines pioneered by OpenCourseware at MIT and OpenLearn at the OU. Video, image and audio documentation have been found to be the preferred media for capturing and sharing practice based art and design tutorials and resources.
Led by University of the Arts London, the project is partnering with ADM-HEA; the School of Textiles and Design, Herriot Watt University; Jorum Service, MIMAS at University of Manchester; Creative Industries and Ceramics at Kirklees College; Broadcast Media in the College of Arts and Humanities at University of Brighton; Bloomsbury Publishing Plc; Laurence King Publishing Ltd; and Bright Lemon Ltd, London.
The project will provide each partner with an institutionally branded open space in a social media platform to share these kinds of media rich OERs. The platform is based on the popular open source web content management system Drupal http://drupal.org/ and provides a user-friendly interface, rich media tools and easy integration with the rest of the Web 2.0 infrastructure such as Twitter, Facebook and Google, etc.

He has been selected to compete for Sweden in air rifle shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has attained numerous top ten finishes in a major international competition, spanning the World and European Championships and the ISSF World Cup series. Åkerholm trains under head coach Stefan Lindblom for the national team, while shooting at a rifle gun range in Uppsala ().

Åkerholm qualified for the Swedish team in the men's 10 m air rifle at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He managed to get a minimum qualifying score of 594 to gain an Olympic quota place and join with fellow marksman Sven Haglund for Sweden, following his outside-final finish at the Worlds two years earlier. Åkerholm shot a steady 588 out of a possible 600 to tie for thirty-third position with Kyrgyzstan's Aleksandr Babchenko in the qualifying round, failing to reach the Olympic final and trailing Haglund throughout the phase by just a single point.

NFL medical chief: No plans now to go to bubble

NFL has no current plans to go to bubble, chief medical officer says
Will more NFL players follow Duvernay-Tardif's lead and opt out of season? (0:42)
Jeremy Fowler breaks down why he can see more players following Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and opting out of the season. (0:42)

The NFL has no immediate plans to shift to a bubble concept in response to the news that at least 13 members of MLB's Miami Marlins have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Instead, according to NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills, the league will continue to focus on quick and efficient handling of positive tests as part of what the league now refers to as a "virtual football bubble."
"We've said all along that we expected there would be positive cases among players and personnel," Sills said in a phone interview with ESPN on Monday. "And there may be a number on each team. As long as this virus is endemic in society, we're going to continue to see new cases.

"What we think is important is that we have protocols in place that can identify those cases as quickly as possible, and make sure that once we identify them, we take the right action, which is to isolate the individual away from the team, get them the appropriate treatment and then do the contact tracing."
The NBA, the WNBA, MLS and the NWSL all implemented bubble structures that allow essential personnel to enter only after extended isolation and multiple negative tests.
Like MLB, the NFL considered doing the same for its 2020 season. But the NFL decided instead on a series of protocols that limit movement and contact at the team facilities, during travel and in games, while giving teams the option to discipline players or other employees who take risky actions when away from the facility.
"We landed at the place where everyone felt the most comfortable," Sills said, "in terms of the safety balanced against the pragmatic aspects."
No options have been ruled out moving forward, Sills said, but he said the NFL's current protocols amount to a "virtual" bubble around each team.
"When you talk about a 'bubble,'" he said, "people define that term differently. Some people define it one way and others define it another way. We would say that we already have a virtual football bubble, because as we said before, everyone in our team environment shares the same risk, but they share the same responsibility to each other. At the facility, they share a responsibility for what they're doing, but they also share a responsibility when they're away from the facility.
"This isn't just about players. It's coaches, staff and their families. We want them to make good choices, the same way we do all of society. We want them to wear masks, practice good hygiene, stay away from sick people and large gatherings. All of those things are going to be critical to the success of our season, and that's why we're spending a lot of time on education and making sure that everyone hears that message and is on the same page."
Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson expressed similar sentiments Monday while speaking to reporters from the team's NovaCare Complex.
"I feel extremely safe," Pederson said. "This is our bubble right here at NovaCare. I can't control everything, we can't control everything. There are probably going to be some things that come up down the road, but right now I feel extremely safe and this is a great environment for our players to succeed in."
The bulk of the NFL's players are scheduled to report to training camp Tuesday. According to protocols updated late last week by the league, players must produce three negative results over a four-day period. If so, they would then begin daily testing on the fifth day and be admitted to the team's facility. Earlier versions of the protocol required only two negative tests before entry to the facility.
ESPN staff writer Tim McManus contributed to this story.

Coronavirus Numbers Jump In Manasquan
October 30, 2020 [email protected]_84 coronavirus, jump, Manasquan, numbers
MANASQUAN — With New Jersey entering the second wave of the coronavirus, the disease's presence in Manasquan has continued to rise over the past month.
Manasquan's cases increased from 80 on Sept. 21st to 99 on Thursday, a 23 percent jump.
The increase in cases comes as Gov. Phil Murphy announced that the second wave of the coronavirus has begun in New Jersey. The Garden State has had 12 straight days of new daily cases topping 1,000, the most in five months. Read more: Gov. Murphy: NJ's Second Wave Of The Coronavirus Is Here
Murphy, however, has said he doesn't plan to reverse any reopenings. In fact, Murphy has suggested that he may allow schools and businesses to expand their capacity if the state can find a way to manage the spread.
State Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said contact tracers have been redeployed to the region to investigate if the new cases are related.
Persichilli said New Jersey has seen new cases linked to not only to celebratory gatherings but also solemn gatherings such as in funerals.
"No matter the reason, this increase in cases reminds us that this virus is unrelenting," she said. "It treats everyone the same. We are fighting an invisible enemy, and we must continue to be cognizant of that fact, and we must continue to be vigilant to protect ourselves and our loved ones."
Monmouth County Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone and Freeholder Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley also announced there were 106 new positive cases of COVID-19 in Monmouth County on Thursday. There are two new deaths being reported today related to COVID-19 in Monmouth County.
Monmouth County will offer free COVID-19 testing for County residents on Saturday, Oct. 31 in Long Branch from 9 a.m. to noon at the Bucky James Community Center, 231 Wilbur Ray Ave.
Residents should note the clinic has 100 tests and once those are administered, the clinic will close for the day. More information about the County's COVID-19 testing program is available on www.visitmonmouth.com.
Here are the latest local updates from Manasquan:
Manasquan had 99 cases as of Thursday, Oct. 29th, according to the Monmouth County Health Department.
Manasquan has launched a relief initiative to provide support to those in distress. The Manasquan Borough mayor and council say they recognize the unprecedented health-related and financial hardships that many residents are experiencing as a result of this insidious pandemic.

'Aspirational' students cause jump in university applications for Oxbridge and medicine in 2021
October 29, 2020 [email protected]_84 applications, Aspirational, jump, medicine, Oxbridge, students, university
Students are being "aspirational" with their university choices for 2021, with applications to the most competitive courses seeing a significant jump, Ucas has said.
According to figures released by the admissions service, a total of 44,220 UK students – up 14 per cent on last year – have applied to undergraduate courses with the early application deadline of 15 October.
This is the deadline for those wanting to study at Oxford, Cambridge and for most medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses at other universities.

Applications up
A record 2,800 18 year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK have applied (Photo: Steve Parsons/PA Wire)
The increase in applications has come despite grim scenes of rampant Covid-19 outbreaks at many universities and locked down student halls.
A record 2,800 18 year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK have applied – an increase of 19 per cent on last year. This compared to an 8 per cent increase in applicants from the most privileged backgrounds to reach 17,140.
International applicants from outside the EU increased by 20 per cent to 17,510, but EU applicants dropped by 19 per cent to 5,220.
'Students aim high'
Clare Marchant, the chief executive of Ucas, said: "It's great news to see students aim high and aspire to a future beyond the current limits of Covid with their choices for next year."
The main deadline for university applications is 15 January 2021.
The figures from Ucas came as a survey found the majority of young people who applied to university this year think it would be fairer to overhaul the system so students only submit an application once they have their final grades.
Post qualification applications
The research from the Sutton Trust social mobility found that working-class applicants were more likely to say they would have applied to a more selective university if they had known their A-level results when making decisions.
Two in three (66 per cent) of university applicants said they favour a move to a post-qualification applications (PQA) system rather than university offers based on predicted grades.
Sir Peter Lampl, founder and chairman of the Sutton Trust, said: "The utter chaos of this year's university admissions exposed major flaws with the system that are due principally to our reliance on predicted grades. Two thirds of young people support PQA which allows both them and universities to make decisions based on actual grades. It's as if applicants have real currency in their possession, rather than counterfeit currency as is now the case.
"PQA would benefit high achieving low income students as their grades are often underpredicted. PQA would also result in admissions becoming more efficient, simpler and fairer for all students."
10 Best Jump Ropes for All Fitness Levels
October 22, 2020 [email protected]_84 fitness, jump, Levels, Ropes
An affordable and compact piece of exercise equipment, the jump rope is a perfect staple for any home gym or gym bag. This small but mighty pick can completely transform your workout. That's why we sat down with the jump rope queen herself,psychologist and fitness trainer Dr. Janine Delaney, known for her sculpted physique and impressive jump rope moves on Instagram, to learn more about the sport and what to look for when choosing the ultimate jump rope.
"Jumping rope is a great way to lose weight and burn fat and calories while having fun," Delaney says. "Most people think of jumping rope as a sport for children, but it has many benefits for adults as well, especially for individuals over the age of 40." Delaney herself actually started jumping rope at the age of 43, mainly because she wasn't a fan of running and was looking for another form of cardio.
When it comes to the benefits of jumping rope, the advantages are vast. "Jumping rope increases your natural endorphins, which puts you in a good mood and increases your energy and libido," Delaney says. "What most people don't realize is that jumping rope will actually burn more fat and calories than running, swimming, or biking. It not only puts your cardiovascular system to use, but also helps to build muscle strength, improve coordination, and even boost metabolism."
Delaney says that you don't have to be athletic or coordinated to start jumping rope, but adds that making sure your rope is sized correctly to your height is critical as well as maintaining proper form and a little practice. If you're a jump rope beginner, Delaney offers these important tips:
Arm positioning: Keep your chest up, core engaged, and arms close to your body. If your arms are too wide, it will shorten the length of the rope and you'll likely trip.
Utilize your wrists: Jumping rope is all about recruiting your wrists to do the work instead of moving your arms.
Keep your head up: Jumping rope is about timing, and if you look down and wait for the rope to pass you then you'll likely trip. A better approach is to look straight ahead and jump as the rope crosses your line of sight, which will guarantee better rhythm as you skip.
Take a video of yourself: Practice makes perfect, and just a little bit of practice each and every day will help you get better and better. Watch YouTube videos of tutorials to help you visualize the proper movement, and take a video of yourself to check your form.
Properly size your rope: To size your rope, stand on the middle of the rope with one foot and bring both handles up to your shoulders. The rope should come up to your shoulders, no higher and no lower. Make sure to buy a rope that you can either cut to your size or one that comes according to height.

Kansas City hospitals overwhelmed, some forced to turn away ambulances as COVID-19 cases jump
October 16, 2020 [email protected]_84 ambulances, Cases, City, COVID19, forced, hospitals, jump, Kansas, overwhelmed, Turn
Hospitals in and around Kansas City, Missouri, are overwhelmed amid a troubling spike in COVID-19 cases that has forced some facilitates to refuse non-emergency care and others to turn away ambulances due to over-occupancy.
Average daily COVID-19 hospitalizations were up about 10% this week across the Kansas City region as the Midwest grapples with record-breaking daily infection rates and intensive care unit bed shortages, according to the Mid-America Regional Council's dashboard.
Earlier this week, the Kansas City metro area saw its highest number of new COVID-19 hospitalizations on record with the seven-day average rising to about 133. Separately, hospitals in the area reported a 28% increase in the average number of patients on ventilators, week-over-week, while daily ICU occupancy rose about 11% from last week, according to the dashboard.
All in all, total weekly hospitalizations jumped to 867, compared to 835 last week, pushing several area hospitals to refuse ambulances due to lack of beds.
Marc Larsen, operations director of Saint Luke's COVID Response Team, the second-largest care provider in the region, said Kansas City area hospitals are "bursting at the seams."
Hospitals being 'pushed to the brink'
Saint Luke's daily patient average rose to about 85 for the month of October, compared to about 63 per day in September, Larsen said. The system reported a daily patient average of only about 15 COVID-19 patients a day in May and June.
"The current trajectory and the rapid increase in infections is a big concern for me," Larsen told ABC News in an interview Friday. "And with our numbers where they are coming into influenza season, I worry that the facilities will continue to be pushed to the brink on our ability to care for each and every single one of these patients like we need to."
He added, "As a result, our emergency departments and having to leverage alternative care units in our facilities, meaning that we wind up seeing emergency department patients in our pre-anesthesia care units, recovery rooms and sometimes in waiting rooms."
Fans take in a flyover before the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 11, 2020.
Larsen, who is also an emergency care physician at the downtown Kansas City hospital, said at least eight metro hospitals and emergency departments had to temporarily stop accepting ambulances due to the high volume of patients on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"We had eight facilities at one given time that were on 'diversion,' or what we call high-volume status," he said. "That doesn't mean that we don't still take the time-critical diagnoses — we still take our stroke patients, our trauma patients and our heart attack patients — but it does limit our ability to provide care to the remainder of ambulances."

Tuesday Muse, News & Reviews: Samhain Edition!
Greetings of Hallows, my lovelies. I trust you are celebrating appropriately tonight, or when true Samhain (the cross quarter) comes on November 7th. Hallow tide is best celebrated over a period of a few days, in my opinion.
My birthday has just passed and I am still celebrating! For one thing I have not baked a cake yet and plan to do that tomorrow. Tonight, after I come home from my class at the botanical garden where I am studying towards a certificate in horticulture, and after my weekly viewing of American Horror Story: Cult at a friend's house, I will re-do my altar to honor my ancestors. A sad task but one which, this year, I am looking forward to with a sort of solemn sense of duty and hope.
I am planning some reviews for you this week (I have just finished Alice Hoffman's new novel, The Rules of Magic, the prequel to Practical Magic, and it's pretty wonderful), and maybe some news. But first things first: it is worth noting that months' worth of binding spells, targeting our dangerous president Trump and all who aid and abet him, have shown some dramatic results this week, with the first or what will be a series of indictments brought on my the Mueller investigation. May the committee's work proceed apace and may justice be done, may truth be revealed and may integrity be restored once again to our government. So mote it be!
Today I offer a list of my favorite witchy movies for this witchy week of wonders. I am currently reading Ronald Hutton's new book The Witch: A History of Fear from Ancient Times to the Present, which explores, in scholarly in-depth fashion, the legacy of the figure of the witch around the world. So, these movies, which of course often traffic in stereotypes, are really resonating with me right now. Feel free to chime in and add your own favorites!
The Craft (1996) Really, is there any movie about witches that has had so much influence? Teenage girls in the late 1990s began to flock to the internet (newly made accessible to all) for spells, lore and any and all things related to witchcraft. The current witchy revival is still influenced by this film's aesthetics.
The Wicker Man (1973) Okay, it's not specifically about witches, but its treatment of old-world paganism practiced by contemporary Scottish folk has had profound influence on the contemporary pagan community. It's downright weird, thrilling and beautiful.
Practical Magic (1998) Romantic, funny and suspenseful, this popular movie is based on Alice Hoffman's gorgeous novel of the same name; who wants to bet how quickly the prequel novel will be made into a sequel film? My bet is within two years; I am toying with trying to acquire the rights so I can try my hand at the screenplay. I was disappointed that the film version of the first novel left out the very interesting details of the lives of Sally's adolescent daughters; but then again, by bringing the aunts "to life" and giving them such vibrant personalities (due in part to great performances by Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing), the film just may have made that prequel novel possible.
The Blair Witch Project (1999) This low-budget work of genius inspired a whole new genre of horror (the "found footage" film) and left many audiences terrified, and not a few people convinced it was all real (despite ample evidence to the contrary). The sequel, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows is also worth checking out, and if you didn't I did a bit of witchy advising on that film, well, now you do.
The Love Witch (2016) Anna Biller's unique and original film is a sort of homage to 1970s horror, and a wonderful satirical take on the image of the witch as seductress. Biller, who also designed the costumes and props, studied Wicca ceremonies to give the film a chilling air of authenticity. I can't recommend this colorful, clever, irreverent film highly enough. You may find it shocking, but that is also part of its charm.
The Witch (2016) A beautifully made, horrifying tale of a family that emigrated from England to the New World, a land awash in superstition and harsh reality in equal measure. When bad luck overtakes their farm, their teenage daughter is suspected of witchcraft. The film's authentic dialect and quiet intensity may be off-putting to some viewers at first, but stay wth it and you'll be rewarded with some of the most intensely horrific scenes imaginable. A witch movie for the ages, with excellent performances and stunning cinematography.
Aaaaand it's October: that month when witches suddenly become a Very Important Presence (VIP) in media. Movies, TV, books, comics, games, cosplay-it seems every aspect of popular culture has gone through a witchcraft wave in recent years and lately it's everywhere. This month I'll be looking at witchcraft as a media trend that's influencing everything from fashion to politics to social media.


Kpop feminine idols are now well-liked on this planet of vogue as they continue to encourage many girls for his or her easy but beautiful magnificence. It's been a solid week since I got here right here for the first time, and I am still dreaming about their wings. When the chicken is nearly executed……..dump in all your greens and hold stirring and cooking. Relying in your definition of barbecue," you'll be able to slather the ribs with sauce earlier than the final step of cooking, or you possibly can finish the ribs on the grill as soon as they have been tenderized within the oven. Add chicken pieces to Korean-model marinade and refrigerate no less than 2 hours – okay to marinate hen overnight. But her Instagram account is definitely every bit nearly as good as her YouTube channel: from makeup appears to image-good hairdos, comply with her for a K-beauty fix in your feed. Short ribs should be cooked low and gradual – at a low temperature for several hours. In true Korean vogue, shove the complete morsel into your mouth in a single bite, after which wash it all down with a swig of Hite, Korea's hottest beer.
You would possibly see sea snails (yup, I will probably be doing a gol-baeng-ih moochim recipe), octopus, squid, ggop chang, tripe, rooster gizzard, and possibly even bbun-dae-gi. A Korean pear is one other marinade addition, however I've substituted that with simple-to-get apple juice. In true Korean Model, all the time settle for a pour of soju by holding your glass with your proper hand whereas clutching your wrist your left hand. Beef ribs are often wrapped in foil and cooked by oblique warmth on a charcoal grill.
The first time I went, was on a Saturday and after I got there the guy stated 1 hr look ahead to chicken. You'll find produce resembling Korean pears and perilla leaves as well as fresh meat, kimchi (Korean spicy sauerkraut), Korean toothpaste, and perhaps even Ok-pop socks. It's also possible to let the ribs prepare dinner in their very own natural juices, with only a sprinkling of herbs and spices. In BBQ rubs, simply substitute Preferrred Brown brown sugar substitute for the common brown sugar. A full-bodied but not-too-intense purple will best highlight the dark hen meat and the sweet, deep soy sauce.
Samgyeopsal (삼겹살) is a favourite choice for communal dining and many a social gathering will begin sitting cross legged on the floor of a BBQ joint salivating over thick cuts of grilled pork stomach. This Korean It-woman initially turned famous thanks to her YouTube beauty videos including The Descendants of the Sun hairstyle tutorials. To me, it's the texture of Thank U Mom's baked hen that left the deepest impression. Different times, normally more often than not, Korean Style" signifies that the locals want to introduce a foreign good friend to a fun approach of experiencing something the Korean means. Like many Korean It-girls, the 22-year-old appeared in a supporting role in Korean drama Young-Pal.
Also, Ideally suited Brown doesn't lose its taste throughout cooking like some sugar substitues do. In truth, I nearly at all times use it in my BBQ rubs now, since I am trying to use principally diabetic recipes. One thing I learned to do that may be very serving to when discovering Korean style on-line is to consider it as hunting relatively than browsing. Then place the meat short ribs into a big sealable freezer bag (or other container). Switch the chicken to a piece surface and let stand for 5 minutes, then reduce it into half-inch strips. Park Hye Min, higher known as Pony to followers, is without doubt one of the hottest makeup artist in Korea.

But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. Once Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
Bronnie Ware, author of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, worked for many years in palliative care. She was with patients for the last three to twelve weeks if their lives. She wrote; "It is not logic that assists one in moving toward the yearnings of the heart, but faith and courage. In pursuing one's dreams, applying logic is often illogical."
His brothers called him "the dreamer." The moniker was used derisively. Joseph had big dreams. He was seventeen years old and in the stirrings of his heart and mind he dreamed of a great future. Of course his dreams reflected the social structures of the era in which he lived. He dreamed of leading a great family empire. A young woman or man today might dream of building a company, becoming the CEO, heading a surgical department, leading a research team to discover a cure for cancer.
Perhaps you can remember the hopes and dreams you had for your life. Why is it that such dreams always meet opposition? Others seem so ready to cut them down to size. If a seventeen year old in your family orbit spoke of such a dream we find ourselves conflicted. Yes, we want to affirm them in these aspirations but our life experience teaches us that there is not always a direct road to such dreams; that some things get modified along the way. Even Jacob was conflicted by young Joseph, the son he loved more than his other sons. (I am of a mind that you should dream big because you will find that your capacity to dream will enlarge as you go along.)
1. Many dreams get shut down for that very reason—they are opposed, ridiculed, stomped on. The naysayers triumph and dreams are thrown into the garbage. In Bronnie Ware's Top Five Regrets of The Dying one of the five most common was, "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." We settle for a dumbed-down version rationalizing our current situation as in some measure fulfilling the dream. Or maybe we simply discarded it altogether as childhood fantasy; the musings of the unrealistic.
Genesis chapter 37 begins what is known as the Joseph sequence that extends to chapter 50. This is this the story of how it was that God brings this family to Egypt; of how God has his hand on Joseph—though callously sold into slavery by his brothers—such that he becomes the chief administrator for the Pharaoh; of how Joseph's administrative and leadership skills are put to use such that a large portion of the middle east avoids the ravages of famine because "there is grain in Egypt." It is the continuing story of God redeeming his people.
Listen to what Joseph says to his brothers having forgiven them of their treachery. "I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. … God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. So it was not you who sent me here, but God; he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt." (Genesis 45:4-8)
This belief that Joseph has that his life was to serve God in being a blessing to others is not something he gains after being thrown into a pit to die by his brothers. He learns it in his home where Jacob tells him of the promises of God first given to Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob and now them. Through you God wants to bless the nations of the world. This vision capture's young Joseph's imagination. He believes God and in the stirring of his heart a dream emerges—a dream of Joseph being a blessing. A dream I believe that emerged in the heart of a young man who asks, seeks, and knocks.
Are all dreams God given? John Wesley gave this advice to his preachers. "Do not hastily ascribe things to God. Do not easily suppose dreams, voices, impressions, visions, or revelations to be from God. They may be from him. They may be from nature. They may be from the devil. Therefore, 'believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God.' Try all things by the written word, and let all bow down before it." He went on to say that we on not to "despise or lightly esteem reason, knowledge, or human learning; every one of which is an excellent gift of God, and may serve the noblest purposes."
Paul, in his Roman letter, wrote "if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Our Lord's redeeming of our life is never merely personal. You are in the life boat and that is the end of it. All rescued and on my way to shore. No. We are saved for something. Jesus gave himself for us so we are to give ourselves for him and others. Because we belong to him who blessed us with himself we are to be a blessing—the same call of God that was on Joseph is on us. I would say to you that within that context of being a blessing for his sake dreams emerge and are blessed of God. Each of us has been given human capacity of reason, knowledge, and human learning; every one of which is an excellent gift of God, and may serve the noblest purposes. Look to what God has given you and use such as best you can to be a blessing for his sake. And may your dreams reflect his glory.
2. We call it the green-eyed monster. Envy. In his book Envy Joseph Epstein has this clever quip, "envy is nothing to be jealous of." Epstein writes: "Of the seven deadly sins, only envy is no fun at all. Sloth may not seem that enjoyable, nor anger either, but giving way to deep laziness has its pleasures, and the expression of anger entails a release that is not without its small delights. In recompense, envy may be the subtlest—perhaps I should say the most insidious—of the seven deadly sins. Surely it is the one that people are least likely to want to own up to, for to do so is to admit that one is probably ungenerous, mean, small-hearted."
There's plenty of research to back up Epstein's statement. Psychologists have found that envy decreases life satisfaction and depresses well-being. Envy is positively correlated with depression and neuroticism, and the hostility it breeds may actually make us sick.
But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. To be sure, Jacob's favouritism of Joseph was a problem. However, these sons are responsible for their response to it. Envy, like bitterness, is like drinking poison waiting for the other person to die. AS this envy metastasized in the brothers' hearts they can't even bring themselves to have a civil conversation with Joseph.
On the surface we may wonder why the brothers are so exercised by Joseph's dreams and their father's favouritism. It seems they must all be rather thin-skinned to let such things elicit so visceral a response. A little family history and review of the practise of primogeniture may help us understand.
Primogeniture said that the oldest male gets everything—essentially becoming the family/tribal ruler. With that in mind, consider a brief review of Jacob's children. (slide) Recall that Jacob marries Leah and Rachel and that he loves Rachel more than Leah. After their marriage Leah has four sons in succession. Rachel is jealous, seemingly unable to bear children herself, so she gives her maid-servant Bilhah to Jacob as a potential surrogate mother—Dan and Naphtali are born. Leah, not to be outdone, does the same with her maid Zilpah—Gad and Asher are born. Then Leah has two more sons and a daughter. Finally Rachel conceives and Joseph is born. Rachel died in childbirth bearing Benjamin.
So the question is who is the oldest son? Technically it is Reuben, Leah's firstborn. But Joseph is Rachel's firstborn, the wife Jacob loved most. Further, Joseph is his favourite. He gives Joseph a richly ornamented robe—a robe of leaders. And then Joseph has dreams; in the first where the brothers' sheaves bow down to his; in the second the sun and moon and eleven stars bow to his star—signifying the whole family. The brothers' envy is loaded with all the problems of primogeniture and jostling one another for position. To be sure, Joseph could have handled the sharing of his dream so as not to appear to be braggadocios. Perhaps just youthful exuberance.
At an early age it was evident that Joseph was unusually talented with acumen for management and leadership. Jacob could see it in him. This is why he keeps Joseph at home to help in managing the family empire; why he sends Joseph on an inspection tour to see how things are going. Jacob knows he can rely of Joseph's insights. Jacob can trust Joseph to tell him the truth—good, bad or indifferent. It is this very acumen that we see on full display and tested to its fullest limits as he rises to power in Egypt.
It is worth noting how envy destroys those who cannot accept that sometimes God gives remarkable gifts to other people; and in this case to someone so undeserving as the young upstart brother Joseph. At a conference I attended last June I heard Dr. David Novak, Chair of Jewish Studies and Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Toronto, read a paper. He has to be one of the most learned men I have ever heard speak. When he cited a Hebrew scripture passage he first gave it to you in Hebrew and then an English translation—all from memory and all quite naturally. He wasn't trying to show off; this is how he did theology. This was just one instance of his remarkable learnedness.
There are moments when I thought—I wish I could do that. But each has been given the gifts they possess—given by God—and are to be used the best we can to bless others. Rather than envy him I get to read his work and benefit from the gifts God has given him.
3. Betrayal by an associate is tough enough to take; by a friend harder still; betrayal by a family member can undo us completely. Imagine Joseph in the cistern having no water (Genesis 37:24), such that Joseph will not drown but will also not be able to drink. Ringing in his ears is the taunt of his brothers—"so let's see how all those dreams of yours work out now." What was it about Joseph that sustained him in all of this? What was it about Joseph that rendered him a blessing?
I read a recently published article titled I'm 19 and on the cusp of something. The author was a young woman starting out on a writing career and had moved from her Canadian home to Australia. (Rhiannon Collett) She wrote, "I'm on the cusp of something. It's a strange, mildly awful period of your life, this "cusp," this transition from childhood to adulthood. It's comparable to having your hard drive erased on your computer, except there's no friendly Apple employee there to hold your hand. … Becoming an adult is heartbreaking; you realize just how scary it is to be a human. This year I became aware of my own fear. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of fear. Yet among all that terror was a glimmer of bravery. I'd come this far. That was something. Being away from everything I'd ever known allowed me to discover what I had always known. I started to see who I was."
What sustained Joseph wasn't because down in the cistern and being hauled off in chains he began to see who we was. Rather he could see whose he was. Joseph always knew whose he was. Regardless of where he was, but especially when he was in Egypt, in all circumstances Joseph knew whose he was. It's crucial that we know whose we are for out of that we know who we are.
Who am I? This question is answered by another—who tells me who I am? Who are you? And who tells you who you are? By faith in Jesus Christ I am a child of God. He makes me who I am; and having made me who I am, he — and he alone — tells me what he has made: child of God, not child of darkness or child of night. A child of blessing and hope and dreams.

Q: cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation - npm not working in ios 10 I have been using this plugin from last 2 months. It was working fine in android and ios but to my surprise it stopped working in ios 10 and the issue is when I close the app, app is showing permission pop ups but since there are more than 3 permission pop ups, it gets overriding each other. So the background geo is not able to start the tracking.

Here's what SEC revealed after lawsuit against Ripple
January 9, 2021 John Ripple 0
Ripple's XRP has witnessed a massive blow after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit claiming the company sold the token as a security. Alongside its price drop by almost 90%, this even put the cryptocurrencies' identity to question.
Inevitably, stakeholders and investors have been calling for better clarity on XRP's legitimacy. SEC finally broke its silence in the first official interview with Forkast since the lawsuit. SEC commissioner, dubbed Crypto Mom, Hester Peirce said the organization must do better and that enforcement isn't always the best way to provide guidance.
Stressing on how the matter is not being dealt properly by the regulating body, Pierce also said:
"I don't want to speak to any particular cryptocurrency, whether it's in litigation with us or not in litigation with us."
Pierce highlighted that "everyone needs to look at the facts and circumstances," and further stated that her own views are not the same as those of her SEC associates. For an enforcement action to pass, three of five SEC commissioners must vote in favor. She continued:
"In enforcement actions, it's often a unanimous vote, but it's sometimes not – once that vote has been taken, the litigation moves forward. Often, you'll see that the litigation ends in a settlement – sometimes it goes through and the litigation actually plays out in court."
Furthermore, Peirce added that while the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) classified XRP as a digital currency, every agency follows its own regulations. "I think that's not only a problem with respect to digital assets, it's actually a broader problem because we have this very open-ended category called an 'investment contract'.
"So something might be characterized as one thing by another agency, yet still be a security under our rules, and that can be frustrating for people," she said.
Building on the need for crypto regulation and what the US election results might mean for the industry, Peirce said: "a lot is going to depend on who the chairman is under President Biden, and that will help determine the direction that the Commission goes on a lot of issues, but cryptocurrency being one of them."
"[The] SEC hasn't done a fantastic job in getting out in front and setting clear lines for crypto and other countries have been much faster to do that," she added.
It should be noted that Ripple maintains that the lawsuit is a direct attack on the crypto industry as a whole. "We've always said that there is a dangerous lack of regulatory clarity for crypto in the U.S. — their lawsuit has already affected countless innocent XRP retail holders with no connection to Ripple," it said in a previous statement.
The first pre-trial hearing of the lawsuit is to take place on Feb 22. An official legal response from Ripple is expected "within a few weeks."
The crypto industry's response to SEC's lawsuit
In the aftermath of this kerfuffle, several platforms suspended support for XRP. Including crypto-asset manager Grayscale which said it removed XRP from its Digital Large Cap Fund at the end of December. Ripple Investor Tetragon Financial Group sued the company to redeem its equity and in response, CEO Brad Garlinghouse tweeted that he was "disappointed that Tetragon (who owns 1.5% of Ripple) is seeking to unfairly advantage itself through the SEC's allegation."
Consequently, XRP is now trading at around US$0.30, down from an all-time high of US$3.40.

Travelzoo for instance, just issued the results from its Spring 2017 Travel Trends Survey, which showed that Canada will have a significant uptick in popularity this year, with interest in visiting nearly doubling over last year among Americans and Germans.
In addition, interest from Chinese, Spanish and British travelers is also on the upswing, says the Travelzoo report.
So what's behind all the Canada appreciation? While it's always been a popular destination, the current spike is most likely tied to a combination of all the factors already mentioned.
"Canada celebrating its 150th anniversary is one of the big reasons it's popular right now. There's been a lot of thought put into celebrating that anniversary," says Susan Catto, head of publishing for Travelzoo Canada, who pointed out that national parks throughout the country are free all year long as part of the anniversary celebrations.
That's right – all of Canada's national parks, from coast to coast, will offer free Discovery passes for any and all visitors, for the duration of 2017. You must register for the pass online. But once obtained it provides access to about 171 locations across the country. Only one pass is required per car.
If you're more of a city person, consider heading to Montreal. One of Canada's most vibrant cities, Montreal is also celebrating an anniversary this year – its 375th birthday, says Calvin Iverson from TravelPirates.com. To mark the occasion there will be a variety of special offerings including a new installation at the Cite Memoire that tells the stories of Montreal residents who've had an impact throughout the years.
Anniversary and birthday celebrations aside, Canada being a relative bargain is also an increasingly big draw for travelers from around the world.
There's also the Trump/Trudeau factor which also cannot be overlooked in any conversation about Canada's newfound sexiness. While Trump policies and commentary (including his many notorious Tweets) have discouraged travel to the U.S., Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made a point of reinforcing Canada's stance as a welcoming destination.
Trudeau has done everything from give speeches emphasizing Canada's openness toward people from all countries to issuing pointed tweets reiterating that attitude. All of which led to the trending hashtag on Twitter: #WelcomeToCanada.
Travelzoo is hardly alone in observing the trend. Hipmunk has also seen an uptick in interest in Canada.
According to the site, flight searches to Canada are up 5% year over year. Some of the top trending cities among traveler's searches on Hipmunk are Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.
Lonely Planet and Travel + Leisure have also named Canada a top destination to visit this year, all of which has no doubt added to the buzz surrounding the country.
And finally, Mahesh Chaddah, co-founder of Reservations.com offers one more reason for Canada's increasing popularity this year – its perceived safety as compared to other countries.

Judith Koch (15 minutes)
Historical notes:
For many years after the end of World War II, the German people tried to forget the terrors of Nazi rule and the Holocaust, as well as the horrors they themselves had to suffer. Denying that the Holocaust happened is quite rare in modern Germany, but it is very common to hear people say, "my family didn't know about, wasn't involved, didn't have anything to do with it." In fact, of course, a project as enormous as the slaughter of six million Jews and five million others could never have been carried out without the active cooperation of many thousands of ordinary Germans – and most of those who didn't take part must have looked the other way. Since the 1970s, however, the German government has encouraged study and discussion of the Holocaust in the schools. Judith's generation knows a lot about the Holocaust, and teenagers today know even more. Many older Germans are still very sensitive on the subject and will not discuss it. This has led to generational tensions in politics, schools, churches and families.
Questions for classroom discussion:
1. Two generations have now grown up in Germany since the war. How much do they know about the Holocaust, and – more to the point – how much are they willing to talk about it? What reasons could you guess for either willingness or lack of willingness to discuss this painful subject?
2. How do you think Judith feels about the Holocaust, and about Jews? How strong are her feelings? Watch her closely – do you think she is being completely honest about her feelings?
3. Referring to the Jews of pre-war Germany, Judith says, "I can't believe Grandma when she says they all went to America." Why would her grandmother say this, and why can't Judith believe her? How do you suppose she feels about not being able to believe her grandmother?
(She has studied the Holocaust in school; knows enough to know what really happened)
4. Today, Judith is a doctor in Germany. Do you suppose that learning about the Holocaust had any influence on her career choice?
5. How did the Holocaust influence today's German culture?
(You might discuss German politics: the Greens, socialists and other liberal parties that vocally oppose racism and link it with war, aggression and/or economic inequality; attitudes toward NATO and the large-scale presence of the American military; problems that have followed the reunification of the two Germanys; prejudice against foreign workers, especially Turks; and the rise of neo-Nazism. On another note, discuss what happens in a society where different generations have vastly different experiences, attitudes and 'selective memories' about the past.)
6. Do the younger Germans of today – anyone born after 1945 – have any responsibility for the Holocaust and its legacy?
(Do you try to put the past behind you and let the wounds heal, or do you keep the wounds open so that people will remember and not let it happen again? Students can list pros and cons of both views.)
7. What evidence of stereotyping can you find in Judith's remarks?
(Jews were wealthy and smart; contrast with today's Turkish workers)
8. Have you ever seen or experienced scapegoating?
9. Could something like the Holocaust happen again? Where, and under what circumstances? What would you do to prevent it?
10. Why is it important to hear about the Holocaust from a German?

'Fukushima, Mon Amour' at German Currents Film Festival
Posted On October 17, 2016 Life & Arts, Film & TV
Rosalie Thomass and Kaori Momoi in a scene from Doris Dörrie's "Fukushima, Mon Amour."
Doris Dörrie's award-winning feature "Fukushima, Mon Amour," starring Rosalie Thomass and Kaori Momoi, will have its Los Angeles premiere on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles, as part of the German Currents Film Festival.
Desperate to move past the heartbreak of her broken engagement, a young German woman, Marie (Thomass), joins the charity circus troupe Clowns4help and travels to Japan, hoping to bring joy to the elderly survivors of the 2011 nuclear disaster still living in emergency shelters. Burdened by her own problems, and panicked by the devastation in Fukushima, Marie finds herself ill-suited to bring joy to others whose hardships she cannot imagine.
Just as she decides to leave Japan, Marie encounters Satomi (Momoi), Fukushima's last geisha, who is determined to return to her home in the radioactive exclusion area. Rather than retreating, Marie stays, electing to help Satomi rebuild her life. Though initially very different, the two find themselves united in the need to confront the ghosts of their respective pasts.
Thomass' "fish out of water" comedic timing blends perfectly with Momoi's resourceful performance as the wise-cracking, aging geisha. Infusing both characters and script with her trademark tragically comedic style, writer-director Dörrie, shooting for the first time exclusively in Japan and in black and white, brings a refreshingly offbeat perspective to an otherwise emotionally heavy subject.
The cast also includes Mosche Cohen and Nami Kamata. In German and Japanese with English subtitles. Momoi, whose other credits include "Memoirs of a Geisha," "Sukiyaki Western Django" and the upcoming "Ghost in the Shell," will appear in person.
Dörrie completed her film studies at Academy for TV and Film in Munich. One of Germany's best-known filmmakers, she is as unconventional and determined as the characters in her films. Her long-time interest in Zen Buddhism has also found its way into her storytelling, setting three other feature films Japan.
Tickets are $11 general, $9 for seniors, students and friends of Goethe, $7 for Cinematheque members. For more information, call (323) 525-3388 or email [email protected]
Double feature with "24 Weeks," which starts at approximately 9:30 p.m. Ticket price includes admission to both films.

If you have not visited V2 Cigs for a while, then stop by and take a look. They have made some changes that show how carefully the company is listening to public and pundit opinion. As this V2 Cigs review aims to show, there is always room to grow, even when your company is pretty big to start with.
V2 Cigs maintains a top position among vapers and reviewers, but the company is not resting on its laurels. Instead, they have heard what you said about limited flavor choices and have currently offer a fun way to get what you want out of pre-filled cartridges. Check out their Customizable Cartridges available in quantities of 100 for $233.51.
The option is packed with features. Select a color of cartridge from a list of Pantones 100 to 117, or Process Yellow. Each of these shades falls within a range from yellow to brown such as shades of tan, orange, mocha.
Your e-cig will look very similar to a regular cig. As for flavors, if you have not already got one in mind, let them help you. Lists of flavors are organized under their respective headings: dessert, tobacco, etc.
You could choose a Ruyan or RY (1-4), Hilton, Swisher Sweets, or Kent. Select pomegranate, licorice, rose, or ginseng. If a flavor you want is not listed, ask for it anyway. When you have chosen a flavor or flavors, type your order into the box provided. V2 Cigs recommends sticking with regular fruits, desserts, etc., or at least not getting carried away. They cannot take back your liquid if it is not what you hoped for.
This is a good reason not to go to extremes with choices such as blending bacon, cream, and pie crust, for instance. Indicate the nicotine level you want, anything from 0.1 to 2.4% rising by increments of 0.1%. Be as descriptive as you can: your creativity is encouraged. Finally, select a base of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.
You can still buy the flavors V2 Cigs has been producing for ages, like their 10 regular styles and a few special edition flavors. These last three are chocolate, cinnamon, and grape. They will not be sold forever so buy them before they disappear. Ordinary flavors are three types of tobacco, three mint styles, coffee, vanilla, cola, and cherry. Pre-filled cartomizer packs of five each cost $10.33, which is not bad considering you could pay $17 for some brands. As always, buying multiple packs saves you money. Twenty at a time cost $36.27. Pay $17.59 for a sampler set (one of each). Blanks are $8.25 for five.
Yes, it is possible to pick up compatible blanks for less, and you might do that when you are a more experienced ecig shopper. For now, consider these fair prices. EX Products In 2013, V2 Cigs launched 280mAh EX Batteries; batteries with more capacity than standard V2 versions. These are available in Royale (featuring the Jack from a playing card), brushed steel, carbon fiber, scarlet metallic, and Bloom, each for $31.08.
The reason for this expense is that the unit is more powerful and longer-lasting than its older cousin, but also comes with a sleeve for your cartridge. Right now, EX Blanks are available, but the sleeve does not fit over it. When EX Pre-filled cartomizers have been released in 2014, the sleeve fits over one of these or a standard V2 Cigs cartridge. Regular batteries are priced $15.52 (the Shorty), $20.70 (standard), and $23.82 (long). These are expensive batteries. I suggest shopping around when you are comfortable with the topic of compatibility.
Those are all of the new features, but there is still more to say about V2 Cigs. They continue to sell their assorted starter kits and little has changed here. Prices start at $25.89 and rise to $155.62. A Power Cig kit is the cheapest with 5 cartridges included. You choose the flavor. A power cig provides the power to vape using a USB port.
A Beginner's Kit for $36.27 contains a single battery, 6 cartomizers, a disposable cig, and an express charger. You choose menthol or tobacco.
The next kit requires a bit of a jump, a large enough one that you might decide to buy a Beginner's Kit and a second battery, but the batteries are expensive and a Standard Kit includes a few other items for $62.22.
For one thing, it comes with ten cartomizers (atomized cartridges). The charging kit is included. Two batteries come in your choice of color (pink, silver, black, blue, or white) and size. A Standard Plus Kit is virtually identical except that it also includes a portable charging case and costs about $40 more. Again, a portable charging case does not have to cost $40, but you will find that out when you look for cheaper batteries, blank cartomizers, and other items. Then there is the Ultimate Kit: $155.62 (recently reduced), which features everything including a power cig, lanyard, car charger, charging kit, three batteries, and 25 cartridges.
A chart shows the cost of purchasing the items in a starter kit one at a time so you can see how much you saved already. There is more than one way to save some money here.
First of all, signing up for the V2 Cigs newsletter entitles you to 15% off your next purchase. Discounts all over then net provide savings from 5% and up, but sometimes only on starter kits. A third way to save money is to become an affiliate marketer with V2 Cigs and earn enough through commission so that your purchases cost little or nothing. Good salespeople even make money they can use for other things, like food and rent.
The hundreds of reviews on this site and several other web pages should answer virtually every question you have. If there is anything else on your mind, contact V2 Cigs using online chat, by posting and email, or by contacting their phone number. Their customer service is highly thought of in the industry.
