"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan."(Proverbs 29:2 NKJV).
Let's face it: there are many weak-willed people around us who need continuous guidance and correction (2 Timothy 3:6-7). In my observation, such people always need the approval of others in order to be more comfortable with their decisions and choices. This has unfortunately led to mistreatment of such people financially, emotionally and spiritually.
Brethren, we must also remember that life have been so design to allow for the measure of control and authority (Genesis 1:28; 3:16). The Lord told me that how we exercise this duty is largely dependent on how we would like to be treated if we place ourselves in the other's position (Matthew 7:12) and we must also remember that what we dish out to others that same will be returned to us (Matthew 7:2; Luke 6:38). The solution is, exercise control and authority fairly, with love, respect and kindness and not out of feelings of hatred and malice (James 2:1-4) considering that our Judge, Christ will give us the same measure we used in our dealings with people created in His image, BE CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT OTHERS!
In a very short vision this morning (July 20, 2015), I was shown a young lady speaking on her cell phone with a man. I could not hear their conversation, but the Lord made me understand that she was blackmailing him. What I further understood is that she was angrily demanding of him to do something for her and if he would not, she would take some action against him. The Lord said we should include this type of power play in our article, and that many Christians are guilty of this kind of sin. This is the power game people play over others, and it leads to people doing things under duress, pressure and distress.
Brethren, the Lord has shown us that when He ministered to people, He never demanded their respect or gratitude; instead He allowed people to respond spontaneously (Luke 17:11-18). This kind of action has nothing to do with a contractual obligation; the Lord is referring to things we do for others freely without expecting something in return (Luke 6:35; Matthew 5:25).
In this article, we are going look at authority and controlling others from a Biblical perspective. I will also share how the Lord responded to brethren who demanded submission while trying to control others. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18). He is the good shepherd and by His authority, He died and rose again that we may have eternal life (John 10:14-18).
In an address to the Corinthians Church, the apostle Paul rebuked and discouraged the brethren against those who were going about using their influence of Scriptural knowledge to control how people should live in relation to their commitment to the Lord (1 Corinthians 9:12). Likewise, there are some marriage relationships where a spouse deems themselves stronger spiritually; they may try to control how the other spouse should pray, read the Bible, and witness for example. Although these are good things to encourage one another in, it can become toilsome to the person being "forced" to do it (2 Corinthians 9:7). In other words, the conviction from the Holy Spirit as a result of the gospel should govern us to discern the way of truth instead of someone else burdening it upon us (John 16:13).
Briefly, to every truly born again Christian, the truth of the Bible holds authority over our lives and conscience. What I mean by this is that we simply submit our will to the Lord and consciously follow and allow His Word to control our actions and attitudes, while strongly believing by faith that such a submission leads to God's approval and ultimately His blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-2; Psalm 119:133). Since God is Supreme and superior to us, He educates our conscience through His Word and teaches us to submit to Him and others whom He placed over us for our well-being (Isaiah 48:18). In terms of authority, God has given parents authority over their children (Ephesians 6:1-4; Deuteronomy 5:16) not to abuse them but to respectfully teach them in godly living. Here we see God giving parents authority with a limitation to exercise Godly values of love and respect (Titus 2:4).
Furthermore, the authority of the husband in the family relationship should be one of love and respect to both children and wife (Ephesians 5:25). Brethren, sadly we as fathers abuse this right of authority from God by being too controlling and demanding unjustified submission. On this matter, judge for yourself where you unjustly demand things to be done for you when you could possibly have done it yourself and still demand the right of authority; are you not abusing both your wife and God's Word? Similarly, there are wives who are outright rebellious by disregarding God's teaching on the family's unity (Ephesians 5:22-23). From experience, this kind of attitude destroys the family's unity, love and respect. This is what the Lord says makes for a divided home which will not stand (Mark 3:25; Proverbs 14:1); if we were to examine the relationship of every kind of problem in the house, wouldn't the marriage hold together when we apply Scripture (Colossians 1:17)? I know that this kind of teaching is unacceptable to a wife who is influenced by the modern worldly view; but for those who enjoy a happy family unit, it is a crown of God's blessing which overflows in peace in that house (Haggai 2:9). Although human quarrels start as a result of an individual's self-interest (James 4:1), family feuds are avoided and destroyed by submission to God's authority and in this case, Scriptural instruction (2 Timothy 3:16).
The apostle Paul had been given authority, but it was for building up the body of Christ, not for tearing it down (1 Corinthians 13:10). As we know, it is easy to exercise control over those under our authority. This might be our congregation, family or work subordinates with authority given by our position. God is interested in exactly how fairly and honestly we exercise our authority and our attitude in guiding others. The apostle Paul warned employers not to mistreat their workers, but to treat them with respect considering that the Lord exercises an authority of love and respect over us (Ephesians 5:25; Colossians 4:1). In emphasis, Christian employers are even admonished to treat their fellow brethren who work for them with Godly love as brothers in Christ (Philemon 1:16-17).
In addressing a problem of controlling others in our ministry, some time ago the Lord Jesus Christ showed Charis in a vision how someone in our ministry was busy controlling the finances and the way the other person should live. This message and teaching from the Lord was very sobering as He taught us not to take advantage of those who live under our authority by using their ignorance to benefit us. In other words, this sister was guilty of making the other person believe and do only what she said, and this was gross abuse which displeased the Lord. It is very unjust and humanly wicked to use the fear or respect others have for us to exploit them for our benefit. In a separate message to someone else, the Lord both warned and encouraged a brother not to fear people, as this would open the door for controlling others, or others to control you. For the Lord's sake, we are called to submit to every human authority and respect those over us (1 Peter 2:13; 1 Timothy 6:1-2). Therefore, I am not encouraging rebellion here, but people will often take advantage when we are too submissive due to our fear of them. When we allow such people to rule over us, we create a burden that may restrict and limit us, as well as blind us to truth.
We have had quite a few people requesting us to ask the Lord how they should help our ministry or others; in a gentle message to them, the Lord admonished them to listen to the Holy Spirit for He would guide them in making a decision that is void of pressure and demand (Exodus 25:2; 2 Corinthians 9:7). Scripturally, while our Lord Jesus Christ is Lord over all the human race (John 17:2), He never exercises undue authority over us unless we were wrong and intent on harming others (Romans 14:9; Daniel 3:16). The enemy often uses deception to mislead people, but he also uses coercion, manipulation, and force (Job 1:13-19; 2:7; Matthew 27:40; Matthew 16:22-23). The Lord, however, has given us free will, and He operates with us on the principle of choices and consequences (Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Joshua 24:15; Galatians 6:7-8). The Lord Jesus Himself, as we mentioned previously, never demanded of people to follow Him; He simply shared with us Truth and the choice to either obey Him and enter everlasting life, or follow Satan's deceptions and suffer the consequences (Matthew 5:20; 7:13-14; 10:32-33; Matthew 18:8-9; John 3:3; Revelation 21:6-8).
In conclusion, I am a product of Bible school teaching and I warmly appreciate the culture of Biblical learning which well-intentioned men and women of God teach. However, the problem with some Bible institutions is that they teach formulas that promote financial gain and the pursuit of prestige through the pastoral qualification. The end result of such a student is only Biblical knowledge and demand for submission to them with NO fruit of the Spirit. Submission to our spiritual leaders is good, but we are equally warned to discern truth and motives and apply what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:12, 21). In this regard, our submission is to the Word of God that our leaders proclaim; we must give them respect but NOT submission to their will for our lives (Matthew 23:3). Our total submission in word, will and deed should only be to Christ.
Have you been wrongly using your authority to control others? Have you been neglecting to allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in making decisions and allow the Word of God to control your actions and attitudes? If so, please repent. To accept Jesus Christ, who has authority to give you eternal life (John 17:2; John 5:21; John 3:16), as your Lord and Saviour, please begin by praying this Prayer of Sincere Repentance.

SOCIETY ›
A Food Network Fan Signs Off
By Eowyn @DrEowyn
My wife and I were talking today about how so many of Food Network's shows have been taken over by an agenda to force the "LGBT lifestyle" on its viewers. We have been fans of the network for a long time, but have hit a tipping point. We were watching a moment of "Worst Cooks in America" and flinching every time one of the contestants spoke with a voice that caricatured some women in his life. (He looked a bit like the First Lady.) I did a Google search for "Food Network, LGBT" and came up with a number of stridently fascist sites promoting the "lifestyle." And there was one lone post (below) that expressed some of my own misgivings. ~TD

Sorry Food Network…enough is enough
By Tami Jackson
[SEE Food Network Response at bottom of article!]
I have long been a fan of the Food Network, especially the show "Chopped," where 4 chefs compete to make a meal in a set amount of time with mystery ingredients in a basket.
But lately, with the new season, the channel has gone into full assault mode with a rabidly gay agenda.
I was set to watch my DVR'd episode of Chopped a few days a go, and one of the 4 chefs was a man by day, drag queen and chef by night. And another recent episode had a woman chef, whose goal was to win the $10K so she could marry her girlfriend.
The bio went so far as to show the women kissing…on the mouth. I stopped both episodes and deleted, then deleted Chopped from the "Series Recording."
Then, I knew I needed to write the network. It may avail nothing, but yet I had to write.
Here is the letter:
Dear Food Network,
I realize I am just one person, so this may be an exercise in futility. You have been one of my favorite channels, and Chopped has been my favorite show on the Food Network.
But the last 2 episodes I found so offensive, I deleted them from my DVR after just the first few minutes and have deleted Chopped from my series recording.
I realize many channels, in an effort to advance the "Cable Positive" vision, are implementing gay characters and a pro-gay message. I love ALL people, but I believe in a biblical worldview. I don't enjoy seeing same sex folks kissing and chefs in drag.
It has nothing to do with hate; it has everything to do with my faith and values.
Let me be clear: I believe EVERYONE has sinned and fallen short of God's glory and standards. That includes me and and my friends…should they choose a heterosexual or homosexual lifestyle.
I am a writer, editor, and talk show host, and am doing all I can to uphold solid, biblical values: to love God and people and be an instrument of His grace.
Unfortunately, I won't be watching your channel in the future, and I will tell friends and followers why. Again, I bear no ill-will nor hatred for anyone.
But some things are worth standing up for, and to the best of my ability, I choose to do what pleases God.
Although I don't expect one email from one person to sway your determination to impose your agenda, perhaps it's a start. My listening audience is a paltry 100- 200K…not large. But they will know and be informed.
I am so sad that I cannot simply watch a wonderful show, with talented chefs, many of whom cook for causes.
By the way, my favorite Chopped episode of all time was the show where Lance, the Evangelical Christian, won the redemption re-match and then gave money to the runner-up to see her dying grandmother in France.
That was so moving — I watched it several times and had friends watch.
Unfortunately, the Food Network has chosen a different, stringently pro-gay agenda to showcase…and lost a formerly faithful viewer.
With great sadness,
Tamara Jackson
I have had many conversations with Conservative friends who write, edit, and are in media. We all are seeing a "full court press" by the secular humanists and those advancing this rabidly pro-gay agenda. Everyone I talk to agrees that this is a spiritual battle, and it's just beginning.
I have been called vile names on Twitter, merely for supporting Phil Robertson and his family.
And I suspect it will get worse.
Consider this a heads up: several media outlets and networks are implementing their strategy to "re-train" a new generation of American who will be tolerant of any and all morals except those of Conservative people of faith.
Breaking: I received these comments from the Food Network QA Facebook account on my Facebook page. I am waiting from a verification of this account from Food Network. One informant said it may not be an "official FN account."

Well that's all for now. It's late on the East Coast, and time for me to sprinkle some pixie dust, and ride my pink unicorn off to dreamland.

I am new here. I worked for a risk management department of an international bank (a branch in Russia). There they use internal country regulations on how to evaluate and manage risks, and create provisions for loan losses. The acronym for the key law there is 254-P.
Currently I'm taking a course from the Institute of Canadian Bankers on the Bank Financial Risk Management. However, so far I haven't found any link to some major Canadian law on risk management for banks or creation of provisions/reserves for losses from loans.
I'm sure there should be such laws. Could you tell me the exact names and abbreviations for these please? I hope my Google search will be more successful once I know the names.

I'll try not to get emotional…. but we'll see how far I get! I know everyone says they can't believe how much time flies, but I can. For sure.
When I think back to all of the things that have happened in this past year, professionally and personally, I feel like it's enough to fill a life time. I'm constantly blown away by the support and love I feel by all of the people I have been lucky enough to have met. anatomy would still be just a concept with out the help of my friends and family, and some key players 😉 I would love to acknowledge all of you individually… but it might take me all day. So please know who you are and that I cherish you from the bottom of my heart.
The tears are welling up already!
First production trip with assistant, Jeff 🙂 In the October snow storm… yep. That little man dug us out of a snow bank.

I bought this for my daughter in-law. My 2 grandsons play baseball and football, so she is constantly bleachers with fibromyalgia. I am so hoping this is a comfort for her, it looks like it should be perfect. If so , Ill be getting me one.
I have taken it to 2 of my grandson's baseball tournaments and it was very comfortable to sit on. It even had a little rocking motion to it that I really loved. Great product for the price.
Needed something for drop in guests when playing group games or watching TV. Perfect! Stores easily. Non-gimmicky.
Hi - bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter since she goes to her husbands softball games and sits in the bleachers. Anyway, she called to tell me she loves it!! She tried it on her couch and said her couch is deep and this Reclining Seat gives her back support. I'll be ordering another for myself now!
needed a boat seat to help back discomfort. this is sturdy, light, makes it happen!
My husband and I both liked our first Oniva seat so much, we decided we needed a second one, so we wouldn't have to flip a coin to decide who got to sit in it. Easy to carry, easy to adjust and very, very comfortable.
My husband loves this...he sits on the edge of the pool with it to soak his tired feet after work. Wish they would come out with a waterproof version. I purchased a much more expensive waterproof one and sent it back because it wouldn't allow you to lean back enough. He absolutely loves this seat and the support it gives.


When browsing in the Internet it is easy to come across different opinions about imagined stories but things are not always look like the way they are described (especially in case it comes to legality and honesty). So it looks like it is necessary to clear up the data regarding numerous viewpoints and myths in order to avoid misunderstanding and create an explicit comprehension of the whole idea.
English proverb declares the truth: "The less we know, the more we suspect" (Billings). It is common knowledge that some people to the more or less extent take other human's opinions as the only and unshakeable truth and actively share it. They actually make no efforts to find out whether the stated opinion is truth or false.
Take your time and read through the following information about myths and legends that are widely popular and are actively discussed in the Internet. Hopefully this data will shatter the myths and dispel incorrect points of view.
Myth â"– 1: Virtual gambling is illegal. Online gambling houses cannot be trusted.
Truth: This rumor in the Internet discourages people very loudly from playing their favorite casino game. And though this opinion is well-grounded because of legalities that involve the functioning and promotion of low-quality websites, online casino fans can stay confident because the best online casinos always supply their websites with detailed information about licensing and other crucially important facts. Moreover the best and largest virtual betting houses use services of third party companies that conduct audit overviews and validate the honesty of payout rates and fairness of operating.
Myth â"– 2: Online casinos are poor in security. Security measures are not good enough to detect fraud and prevent hackers' interference.
Truth: Nonsense if to look closer at the best online casino operating systems. The use of SSL and firewalls helps to stop cracking activities and keep sensitive credit card and payment information on specialized servers. What is more: you can trust virtual casinos that use a piece of software developed by famous software brands such as: MicroGaming, Realtime Gaming, Cryptologic and some other companies.
Myth â"– 3: Gambling isolates you. Online gaming is designed for lonely people.
Truth: Widely spread opinion that only lonely people play virtual games is incorrect even taking into consideration the variety of games where the player is supposed to solo. Table games as well as online slots are very sociable games as far as people usually play in groups: 2 against 2, or 4 against 4.
Myth â"– 4: The more time I spend playing and the higher are my bets, the larger will be my wins.
Truth: Every gambling round has a random outcome. What you need to remember: define the amount you are ready to spend and never go beyond this frames. Control yourself and be ready to sop when it is necessary.
Myth â"– 5: Virtual casinos do not return remuneration bonuses and payouts.
Truth: It will never happen if you have chosen decent gambling establishment which official license is legal and software programs are developed by leading companies. The variety of banking opportunities is another fact that should be considered as crucial in this concern.


IRSN, BP3, 13108 Saint-Paul-Lez-Durance, France.
The data on 210Pb and 210Po activities in French foodstuffs acquired during the last 15 years are numerous enough to derive reference values which will be usable to assess the dose to the French population due to the intake of these two natural radionuclides. The means and ranges are close to those observed in various countries and are most often higher than the reference values proposed by UNSCEAR. Mussels and oysters exhibit the highest 210Po activities of all kinds of foodstuffs, with a mean value of 27 Bq.kg-1 fresh weight , followed by crustaceans and small fish species (anchovies, mullets, sardines, etc.) with 210Po activities in the order of 3 to 10 Bq.k-1 fresh weight; cephalopods and other fish species presenting activities around 1 to 3 Bq.kg-1 fresh, close to the UNSCEAR reference value. Below these highest 210Po activities are those of 210Po and 210Pb in terrestrial kinds of foodstuffs, by decreasing order: meats (around 1 Bq.kg-1 fresh), cereals (0.4 Bq.kg-1), leafy vegetables (0.3 Bq.kg-1), other vegetables and fruits (0.1 Bq.kg-1), and milk (from 0.03 to 0.1 Bq.L-1).

The Peacearch News is reporting that "Police have identified a 22-year-old Surrey man as the victim of a targeted shooting in Cloverdale Tuesday evening. Pardeep Singh was found dead in his driveway in a residential area near 166 Street and 63B Avenue. Team news release issued just before noon Wednesday, Singh was known to police and had gang associations." Multiple shots fired 8:30 PM. The victim was found dead in the driveway of his own home.
"Brun wasn't terribly surprised. She's not happy with the direction the neighbourhood has been heading. 'We know that there are drug houses in the area, there were halfway houses in the area,' she said. She doesn't attribute the increase in crime to an increase in population, but says it's the people who happened to move in." Imagine that. Drug houses in the area but the police and city hall don't do anything about it until there's a fatality. More halfway houses in Surrey that are just drug houses for addicts to use drugs.
The Peacearch News is also reporting that "The 22-year-old man shot dead in his Cloverdale driveway Tuesday had been involved in shootings as far back as 2015, police revealed on Wednesday. At an Integrated Homicide Investigation Team press conference Wednesday afternoon, Cpl. Meghan Foster said that Pardeep Singh had been offered RCMP protection in the past after he had been involved in four shootings in less than 24 hours. Foster told reporters that Singh was an unco-operative victim in 2015."
I will however say this: every crime has a means and a motive. This guy was killed because he sold drugs. He wasn't killed by his employer he was killed by a rival. Something tells me this guy didn't work for the Hells Angels. That made him a rival who they terminated just like all the others.
e.a.f. August 31, 2017 at 10:27 PM
You live by the sword you die by the sword. Its never a good thing when some one is murdered, but this man did nothing to help himself.
All these murders are simply corporate fights over market share. Its too bad they can't figure anything else out.
of course we will hear from the RCMP the usual b.s., but really they aren't doing much about the drug problem anyhow. these half way houses don't sound as if they are credible medical facilities and the sales of drugs out of neighbourhood houses are going unchallenged by the police even if neighbours complain and that goes back to the 1980s in Surrey.

All types of hardscape features and amenities must be built using top-quality materials. Using substandard materials can lead to the early deterioration of the structure and pose safety risk to people. For example, a poorly built retaining wall may sag or collapse during a heavy rainfall or snowstorm. This can result in injuries, damage to properties, and costly repair works. It may also disrupt your business operation if the wall is located in your business premises.
As a property owner, you should rely only on tried and tested brands. Go for leading retaining wall block manufacturers since every product they offer is guaranteed top-quality. This is also what we do here at Structural Stone Company, Inc. All our retaining wall blocks are sourced from trusted manufacturers in the country. We carefully select them to give our clients the finest products available in the market.
If you want to see more options, just visit our yard and personally choose your desired wall block design, color or pattern.

Two Dayton advocates named to JobsOhio board
JobsOhio has appointed two men with a long history of Dayton region advocacy to its board of directors.
Retired Air Force Gen. Lester L. Lyles, of Vienna, Va. has been appointed to the JobsOhio Board of Directors for a term beginning July 6, 2019, and ending July 5, 2023, Gov. Mike DeWine's office said Tuesday.
And Scott A. Sullivan, of Springboro, has been appointed to the same board for a term beginning July 6, ending July 5, 2023. Sullivan is president of SelectTech Services Corp.
MORE: Workers wanted: Hiring slows but local jobs abundant in certain fields
The Dayton Development Coalition, the Dayton regional arm of JobsOhio, welcomed the appointments.
"Both Gen. Lyles and Mr. Sullivan will bring an extensive knowledge of Ohio's business climate and the critical role our federal installations have in Ohio's economy to their work for JobsOhio," Jeff Hoagland, the coalition's president and chief executive officer, said. "For more than a decade, they have been strong advocates for the Dayton region and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, working to increase the economic impact of Ohio's federal installations, support commercial industry, and share the benefits of doing business in Ohio with fellow business leaders."

"JobsOhio President and CIO J.P. Nauseef first brought Gen. Lyles, Mr. Sullivan, and Joe Zeis, the governor's senior advisor for aerospace and defense, into the economic development world," Hoagland added. "Their collaboration and support helped fuel the growth of our region, and their continued partnership positions Ohio well for the future."
"Both General Lyles and Mr. Sullivan are eager to engage, and I am excited to bring them up to speed on our initiatives," Nauseef said in a JobsOhio statement. "I thank Governor DeWine and Lieutenant Governor Husted for their forward-looking and thoughtful appointments."


Africa is rich in natural resources ranging from arable land, water, oil, natural gas, minerals, forests and wildlife. The continent holds a huge proportion of the world's natural resources, both renewables and non-renewables.
Africa is home to some 30 per cent of the world's mineral reserves, 8 per cent of the world's natural gas, 12 per cent of the world's oil reserves; the continent has 40 per cent of the world's gold and up to 90 per cent of its chromium and platinum. The largest reserves of cobalt, diamonds, platinum and uranium in the world are in Africa. Africa holds 65 per cent of the world's arable land, 10 per cent of internal renewable fresh water source.
In most African countries, natural capital accounts for between 30 per cent and 50 per cent of total wealth. Over 70 per cent of people living in sub-Saharan Africa depend on forests and woodlands for their livelihoods. Land is an economic development asset as well as a socio-cultural resource. A significant share of these resources is, however, used unsustainably while others are lost through illegal activities, meaning that the stream of benefits generated from these resources is being reduced over time. For instance, Africa loses an estimated $195 billion annually of its natural capital through illicit financial flows, illegal mining, illegal logging, illegal trade in wildlife, unregulated fishing, environmental degradation and loss among others.
Collectively, the continent has a lot to gain in pulling together and harnessing its vast natural resources to finance the development agenda towards greater prosperity; and it must also ensure that future growth and exploitation of natural resources is results-oriented, climate resilient, and sustainable.
The African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) recognizes that natural capital underpins the continent's economy, affirming that using natural capital as a getaway to wealth creation and investments will allow for actions towards achievement of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the AU Agenda 2063 through financial, economic, social and environmental contribution.
The GEO-6 Regional Assessment for Africa points out that the environment is deteriorating faster than previously thought, emphasizing that governments must act faster to reverse the worst trends. The report recognizes Africa's natural capital and observes that the economic growth of Africa hinges on the sustainable management of its natural capital. However, unsustainable exploitation of Africa's natural resources by its burgeoning population, and the tardiness by authorities to effect sound policies and regulations to tame abuse and over exploitation of these resources is brewing trouble. Nature is issuing red alerts, as evidenced by the many catastrophes we are experiencing which if left unchecked, will keep aggravating food shortages, water scarcity, diseases, conflicts, migration and poverty, all of which could culminate in the destabilization of economies.
In order for Africa to reap the economic and social benefits inherent in this natural wealth, it is necessary to urgently address such issues as the management, economic and environmental impact of their sustainable use.
Africa Office supports African governments to translate decisions and statements made on natural resources into practical actions and innovative solutions at regional, national and local levels for the benefit of their population. This will lead to wealth and job creation, revenue generation, food security, social equity and a healthy environment.

Great Initiative: Trash Booms Set Up to Prevent Plastic From Entering Water Bodies in Mangalore
Plastic Fischer, a Germany-based social enterprise that develops low-cost devices to combat plastic pollution in rivers, is in the midst of placing garbage booms along river mouths in Mangalore to prevent plastic from entering rivers and oceans, with the help of Hasiru Dala, a social impact organisation.
A garbage boom, or a permanent structure made to trap and retain floating plastic waste, was built at a stormwater drain close to Kudroli Alake approximately a month ago, according to Harish Shenoy, director of Plastic Fischer India.
Every day, workers manually remove the plastic from the systems and transport it to sorting facilities. The supply chain is updated with all recycling. Unfortunately, we have found that a large majority of the collected waste is not recyclable and is instead delivered to approved incinerator facilities for thermal processing. In the previous month, the Mangalore crew collected around 3.5 tonnes of plastic through beach clean-ups and river bank cleanups. A temporary rubbish boom is now being installed at Kulur. Since it began operations in early 2021, the company has undertaken projects of a similar nature in Varanasi, Kanpur, and Thiruvananthapuram.These portable trash booms, which are simple to dismantle in case of inclement weather, are being installed in more locations.
According to Mangalore City Corporation commissioner Akshy Sridhar, the MCC has temporarily offered land for the project. As per them, it would be expanded to more locations after they successfully demonstrated it.

We've talked about the first 5 money management tips for OFWs. Let's talk about the remaining 5 tips, shall we?
Every year, you, the hard-working OFW, send majority of your income back home to help your parents for their medicine, your siblings for their education and even your relatives for their piggery and poultry business.
Fast forward 30 years, you're retired.
You're back at home in the Philippines.
And you have zero retirement fund.
Your parents you've helped are already with God.
Your siblings already have families of their own so they can't help you that much.
Your children are fighting each other because they don't want to have you in their homes as your medicine, your check-up and your food are dagdag-gastos.
Your relatives - the ones you helped religiously - suddenly had amnesia! They don't know you anymore.
But this happens. Every year, this happens.
If you're not careful enough, this can happen to you.
Don't worry too much, though. You can still stop this from happening.
Read the first five money management tips for OFWs.
After you're done with that, read the next five here.
OFW Money Tip #6: Do your homework.
Scammers are vile people. They know that OFWs like you would love to go home and enjoy your money after working for a long time. This is why they'll promise you insanely huge interests and too-good deals.
My friend, if it sounds too good to be true, it's probably a scam.
If you're promised low risk and high returns, it's definitely a scam.
If it looks like a scam, feels like a scam and seems like a scam, it might be a scam.
Please, ask questions. Feel free to do your research. Don't be pressured.
You worked for years for this money. Don't let it be gone in a matter of months.
OFW Money Tip #7: Have an emergency fund.
It's important that you have an emergency fund in the country you're staying at. 3-6 months' worth of expenses should be stashed here.
Have an emergency fund in the Philippines, as well, by instructing a loved one to deposit to your online savings account. This way, you can check if the amount has already been credited.
You can allot 20% of your monthly income for your emergency fund. Once you've reached your target, start directing your 20% to your basic investment plan, then.
OFW Money Tip #8: Get insurance.
If you're an OFW, there's a very big chance that your family members depend solely on you to provide for their needs.
If something bad happens to you, how sure are you that your family will be well off? Not sure? No idea? Get insurance.
Now, there are innovative insurance plans around. You can even get a VUL (variable universal life insurance) which gives you income protection and investments. Ask several companies around: I'd recommend the top ten insurance companies in the Philippines right now.
OFW Money Tip #9: Stop being a one-day millionaire.
Maybe you go back home two times or three times a year, so you're very generous when you come home. You buy everything, you go and eat everywhere and you give money to everyone.
Stop - earning money is difficult, so why are you just giving it all away easily?
I'm not suggesting that you become grouchy: what I'm saying is that you should plan your enjoyment money as well. If you're bringing P 50,000 back home, spend only 70% of it! The remaining 20% should be saved for investments, and the 10% can be given to a charity of your choice instead.
OFW Money Tip #10: Be committed.
Ahh, you're now reading #10!
After reading this, will you start practicing these money management tips for OFWs?
Or will you say, "Nice tips... Hmm..." and just forget all about it?
Please, no. This article is for your future.
You can't depend on anyone else to start managing your money for you.
You've got to take the first step!
Kaya mo 'yan. Ikaw pa.

Q: Custom ListView Adapter nullPointer problem I am trying to set the first and last elements of a list view to have their backgrounds different to everything in the middle. I have created my custom adapter .xml file and works perfectly when I set everything up statically in their to have each row the same style. As of now i'm just trying to change the first element. I think i'm getting the nullPointerException because i'm not properly referencing the LinearLayout I want the background to be changed. Here is my code:
for (int i = 0; i < categories.size(); i++){
            HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
            map.put("name", categories.get(i));
            LinearLayout linear = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout1);
            if(i == 0){
                linear.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background);
                Log.v("First Element", "First");
            }
            else{
                linear.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background);
                Log.v("Not First Element", "Not First");
            }
            mylist.add(map);
        }

I think my problem is due to the fact the R.id.linearLayout1 reference is not in the main xml file for this activity, so how do I get the correct reference. If this is not the case then how do I go about having different backgrounds for the top  and last elements of a listView?

A: You should use "inflate" to get your layout.
example (if i'm not mistaken, can't try it out here)
LinearLayout linear = activity.getViewInflate().inflate(linearLayout1,null, null);
