NBA Draft order 2019: Complete list of picks for Rounds 1 and 2
Written By Thomas Schlarp
(Getty Images) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/sporting_news/76/d2/adam-silver-getty-021619-ftrjpg_1n561c7w42j29z997ir0hcr5y.jpg?t=-115877560&w=500&quality=80
The NBA Finals may have ended just a week ago, but the new faces of the upcoming season are already set to join their future organizations.
The Pelicans will have the first overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft held Thursday, June 20 at 7 p.m. ET at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. and have been the recent center of much of the league's buzz after sending Anthony Davis to the Lakers for a bundle of players and picks.
Former Duke freshman Zion Williamson is a virtual lock to be the No. 1 overall pick in a draft that is deemed by many to only have three potential stars (Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett). With a lack of sure-fire prospects making up the bulk of the first round, trades among teams are likely to be frequent and plenty.
MORE 2019 NBA DRAFT:
SN's final mock draft | Top 60 big board
Last year's top five picks consisting of Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Luka Doncic, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Trae Young were part of a class for the ages - for the first time since the 1984-85 season, all five picks made the NBA All-Rookie First Team.
Below is the complete list of all NBA Draft picks in 2019 from No. 1 overall to No. 60.
How many rounds are in the NBA Draft?
The NBA Draft consists of only two rounds, the fewest of the four major North American sports leagues. Start to finish, 60 players will be drafted from the 2019 class.
How is the NBA Draft order determined?
The order of the NBA's first round is set by a lottery and the NBA's regular season. The first four picks were determined during May's draft lottery, won by the Pelicans with a 6.0 percent chance of landing the No. 1 overall pick.
The Grizzlies, Knicks and Lakers filled out pick Nos. 2-4 while the other lottery teams pick in inverse order of the regular-season standings.
Pick Nos. 15-30 in the first round and the entire second round also are determined by regular-season record.

Alphabet signs pact with Cuban telecom firm to improve access to Google properties
By Mark Coppock	 December 12, 2016
Cuba's internet infrastructure has long lagged behind the developed world, something that President Obama made a central part of his effort to improve ties between the United States and that island nation. Historically, Cuban citizens have suffered from tight governmental controls that limit their access to a variety of internet services.
In March 2016, Google announced that it would be working to set up improved Wi-Fi and broadband internet access in Cuba. Today, Google's parent company Alphabet announced that it's doing just that, by entering into an agreement with Cuba's state telecommunications monopoly, ETECSA, that will make it easier for Cuban citizens to access Google properties, as Fortune reports.
Basically, Google is improving access to services like Gmail and YouTube by providing access to Google's Global Cache network, which stores content on servers that are closer to those who need access. In a statement, Google said, "This deal allows ETECSA to use our technology to reduce latency by caching some of our most popular high-bandwidth content like YouTube videos at a local level."
This should theoretically reduce reliance on local internet access, which remains poor. This in itself might not be a panacea, though. As one anonymous technician said, "This may improve reception of cached materials, but not for example email which depends on local bandwidth." In other words, Cuba's poor-performing networks won't benefit much from caching for dynamic content.
Ultimately, Cuban citizens will benefit most from more basic improvements in network infrastructure and more robust and affordable Wi-Fi hot spots. In the meantime, however, Google's efforts should at least help Cuban citizens access YouTube cat videos with slightly better performance.

Your Daily Horoscope For August 17, 2018
By Mecca Woods
nanihta/Fotolia
We're constantly fascinated by what our zodiac sign says about our lives, whether it's which signs are most compatible or how each sign handles conflict in relationships. That's why Bustle has enlisted Mecca Woods, a New York City-based astrologer of MyLifeCreated.com, to tell us all about how astrology is affecting our lives each day. Today's topic: your daily horoscope for August 17, 2018.
The Moon remains in passionate and seductive Scorpio and we're still in the mood for intimate encounters, secrets, and experiences that test our mettle. The day starts out fairly easy with the Scorpio Moon joining forces with lucky Jupiter in Scorpio and dreamy Neptune in Pisces, though on the flip side, emotions could be at an all-time high, too. For those of us that may be feeling moody or blue, the Scorpio Moon encourages us to draw close to those we love and to reach down deep and find our inner strength. By the late afternoon, the intensity turns up once again as the Scorpio Moon teams up with powerful and transformative Pluto in Capricorn. However, with these two together we should be able to find the courage and determination to go after what we want while letting go of what we don't want.
Read below to see what the stars mean for your sign today, and check out your August 2018 monthly horoscope.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Tina Gong/Bustle
If a financial-related matter has been stressing you out, you could receive some good news today that helps to put your mind at ease. Overall, when it comes to your financial future, you should be feeling more confident about it now than you have in the past. In terms of intimacy, you get what you want.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Partnership is the focus for you today as you could connect with a teacher or mentor figure that can help you get closer to achieving a dream. In terms of romance, now's the time to be crystal clear about what you want, as you just might get it. Your wishes are being granted as we speak.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Your professional life should move along swimmingly today, which is good news not only in terms of getting things done but also for getting recognition that you deserve. Job hunting? You could receive an offer or some promising news. Meanwhile, it's a good time to let go of an old habit.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Love and romance are on the agenda for you today, which may feel like it couldn't have come a moment sooner, especially if you and your sweetie haven't had much quality time lately. Single? Your romantic dreams could come true when you meet a charismatic stranger. Get out and have fun!
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Home and family are on your mind today, making it a good time for spending time with those that you love, especially if you find yourself in your feelings today. Though, you don't have to sit around moping. You can channel your energy into a home improvement or organizing project.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
You have the power to influence others with what you say and think today, so make sure you're asking for what you want and sharing the ideas and information that you want to get out. You might even receive an opportunity to write, speak, or teach for a major audience. Knock 'em dead!
Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
Your cash flow could get an increase today, thanks to all the work that you've been doing. If you've been thinking about asking for a raise or going after a job with better pay, today's a good day for setting those wheels in motion. Financial stability no longer has to be a dream. It's becoming a reality.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
If things have felt off-kilter lately, today offers you a reprieve from the madness. In fact, you should be feeling like you're on top of the world. Your creative energy should be flowing, too, which is a good excuse to follow your heart and delve into something you're passionate about. Believe in you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
You should be feeling reflective and introspective today, which is a good thing as you could use some time to slow down and meditate. Even if you have a busy schedule, make some time for yourself to chill and clear your head. You'll feel much better if you do. Also, your intuition is on fire.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
Your friends and siblings are your source of joy and support today, so make sure that you connect with them. If invited to a party or social gathering, accept the invitation as you thrive on community and friendship right now. On another note, a friend may come to you for advice; be tender.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
Your career gets a boost today as you could say or do just the right thing that impresses the right people. As a result, you could manifest a dream opportunity or receive some sort of widespread recognition. If fear or self-doubt has been tripping you up, that's about to change. Power up!
Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20)
If you're feeling like there's just about anything that you can do today, you would be right. Now's the time for taking a risk on something you believe in and for pursuing your dreams. As long as you believe in what's possible and what you're truly capable of, you can't go wrong. A helping hand will arrive.

Are There Books On Being Funny? (More Than You'd Think)
Written by Jackie Booe in Kid Safe Media
Being funny is rated one of the most desirable character traits for one's self and in a mate or friend. It's also a little known superpower when it comes to dealing with kids for parents, grandparents, teachers, or basically anyone. With that in mind, you may wonder, 'are there books on being funny?' To which I say, more than you'd think!
As for books on being funny, there are more than you'd initially think. From self-help books for building a sense of humor to how to write funny to books that can be used comedically, there's almost an infinite amount of books to help you improve your use of humor tactics.
As a teacher for almost two decades, I've relied on a sense of humor from time to time to not only get me to the 3 o'clock bell, but also to help me teach admittedly boring material to kids who'd rather be at recess. And humor didn't come naturally to me, either. Fortunately, I discovered through trial and error that humor is a learned skill and books are quite useful for that process!
One way to build humor with your kids is to use it strategically through routines or regular activities. For instance, our Fun Jokes For Kids Coloring Book is a great tool for embedding humor through kid-friendly activity.

Books To Improve Humor
https://youtu.be/MdZAMSyn_As
Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: The Skill of Humor | Andrew Tarvin | TEDxTAMU (https://youtu.be/MdZAMSyn_As)
Humor is used to break the ice, build relationship bridges, diffuse conflict, and soften awkward situations. Humor truly is a skill that can be learned.
As a teacher, it's no surprise to most who meet me that I enjoy reading. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say I've read thousands of books over my lifetime, but have I ever encountered books to improve humor?
There are certainly books designed to improve humor, most notably books that are informationally driven and provide insight into humor tactics. However, other books can improve humor, too, by teaching it indirectly, such as classical literature like works of Homer, Shakespeare, and Twain.
Research abounds supporting the importance of a sense of humor, so much so that most specialists (as well as the general population) rank it tops as desirable on character trait lists. Now further studies are being done to verify humor intervention programs to build humor and/or teach humor tactics to aid well-being in other parts of life.
And research shows us more about humor, too. For instance, there's research to show humor's positive effects on resiliency, coping, and stress and other research about humor's significant impact in the classroom on learning and rapport.
This means humor, and humor-related books in particular, are recommended for use with kids. Parents, for instance, can use bedtime books with a funny bent with their children. Humor naturally engages kids and holds their interests. It's also a way for parents to improve their relationship with their children and strengthen their family bond.
3 Funny Books I recommend for Parents to Read Aloud (over and over)
Title Humor Device
Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein Repetition, Irony, Subtle Sarcasm
The Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith Pattern, Rhyme
Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus by Mo Willems Onomatopoeia, Hyperbole
All Books Are Available Free With an Audible Trial Membership
Teachers can also use classic literature with a humorous tone in order to improve their own sense of humor and present themselves as humorous with kids. Works of Homer like The Odyssey is known for its exciting adventure but there is also humorous dialogue and situations that will surprise (and interest) students.
I still remember my middle schoolers laughing out loud at the confrontation between protagonist Odysseus and the one-eyed Cyclops called 'Nobody.' If you haven't read The Odyssey or don't remember this section, I urge you to look it up! I bet you'll find it just as hilarious as my former students.
Likewise, Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is one of the funniest of his plays to share with students. Teachers who struggle with humor or 'being funny', can take advantage of humorous classical lit as a way to make themselves more relatable to students.
"I can see he's not in your good books,' said the messenger.
'No, and if he were I would burn my library."
― William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
Parents, teachers, and anyone in charge of children can also use books that directly work to build or improve humor. Many comedians, from Jerry Seinfeld to Aisha Tyler, have written their memoirs to explain how they use humor, and these can be helpful for building humor indirectly.
Also, there are books by psychologists and other specialists on improving humor that commonly tie in self-confidence and health. The idea is that a person working to build a good sense of humor can also increase self-confidence, alleviate stress, and generally improve professional and personal relationships.
"I'm here as your advocate, to equip you to utilize humor so you can build your self-confidence, which will eventually contribute to becoming funnier and kickstart a healthy symbiotic relationship…"

How To Be Funny Book
As a teacher, I had to learn ways to be funny. One way to help with that process is using a direct approach such as taking a comedy course or reading 'how to be funny' books. So what do you need to know about how to be funny books?
How to be funny books are books that teach a step-by-step process or formula for being funny that can be applied in most situations. Books like this are a helpful guide for comedic beginners or those struggling with humor devices, and are recommended for growing humor.
How to Write Funny: Your Serious, Step-By-Step Blueprint for Creating Incredibly, Irresistibly, Successfully Hilarious Writing (free with a new Audible membership) by Scott Dikkers provides a detailed explanation to writing funny, using a tried and true (according to the author) formula. Judging by the popular Amazon reviews and 4.5 out of 5 rating, it seems Dikkers is on to something.
Other books can help you be funny in everyday life. For instance, You Can Be Funny and Make People Laugh: No Fluff. No Theories. 35 Humor Techniques that Work for Everyday Conversations (available on Amazon) is about how to use humor devices and tactics in casual situations. This is an excellent, direct approach to improving your sense of humor.

Books On Being Funny
As a teacher, I found some books on being funny better than others for classroom use. From books with witty dialogue and silly scenarios to books written by educators that describe humor approaches, I'm happy to share what I've found most useful.
Books on being funny can work in the classroom as well as the home. From books written for teachers and parents about using humor with children to books written directly for children that are funny, the only caveat is knowing your purpose for books on being funny prior to making your selection.
It's important to know your reasoning or purpose for books on being funny. If you are a teacher, you might want to use books to engage your students. Research tells us that engagement and motivation are keys to long term learning, after all. And nothing engages kids as easily as funny books.
Example: When I was teaching adding and subtracting decimals, particularly with money, to my 3rd graders, I didn't just teach steps for properly regrouping tens and hundreds. Rather, I found Alexander, Who Used To Be Rich Last Sunday (free with an Audible trial membership) by Judith Viorst. It's a great, AND FUNNY, story about a little boy who loses and sometimes gains money over the course of a week.
Then, there are books on being funny to counteract life's problems. For example, there are 'funny books' to help with sadness and depression. These books spotlight a different area of humor, almost an opposite side. One book is called Just Peachy: Comics About Depression, Anxiety, Love, and Finding the Humor in Being Sad by Holly Chisholm.
Chisholm used writing about her mental illness through a humorous scope as her own personal therapy, which can be helpful for others with related issues.
And then there are books that teach teachers how to appropriately and successfully use humor in the classroom.
Humor is helpful not only to teachers in traditional classrooms, but also teachers of children in church, as well as parents and grandparents, coaches, and so on. As said before, anyone working with or in charge of children will benefit from humor know-how.
Teaching with Comedy: A Guide For Using Humor in the Classroom by teacher Evan Hoovler, is one such book that I recommend for this purpose. It's full of light-hearted but real stories from a teacher's decades-long experience and how humor played a major role in his students' learning, and in his longevity and dare I say, sanity!

It may be surprising to some, but writing comedy is similar to writing any kind of story with archetypes and patterns, only with a humorous bent.
One way to express humor is through writing it yourself. Whether you're a grandparent wanting to send jokes to your grandchild or a person who's always desired to be a stand-up comedian, there are many how-to books for being funny on paper.
How to write a funny book may seem simple at first, but it's as complicated as writing any book. While books about comedy can help with humor, good writing techniques including proper grammar, organization, and structure are necessary regardless of audience or genre.
Writing any book well is an in depth process, not to be taken lightly, even if it's a funny book. It requires organization, planning, diligent work to put thoughts to paper (most likely, digital paper), revision time, more editing, and if all goes as hoped, publishing. And if 'funny' is the goal, then there's work to make that happen too.
To check for humor, make sure you target your audience. Older kids and teens will like funny books that include sarcasm, irony, and embarrassing situations and mishaps while younger kids need more over-the-top humor or funny, silly words repeated a lot.
Types of Funny Books You Could Write:
Comic strip books like Calvin And Hobbes
Graphic Novels like Big Nate or Captain Underpants
Picture Books like Dr. Seuss books
Jokes and Riddles books
We even have a joke coloring book, Fun Jokes For Kids Coloring Book you can check out for inspiration (available on Amazon). Each page has an easy-to-color illustration and an accompanying joke or riddle made just for kids. This is a good type to try as a beginner, especially if you have drawing capabilities.
Best Books On Comedy
I listed a few recommendations for funny books already in sections above. However, what are the best books on comedy?
Best books on comedy are books that explain the thought process behind humor, while providing laughs too. Look for informational books that provide the ins and outs of comedy, but present the material humorously, as well as, books by notable comedians that can give a personal side to humor.
Is This Anything? by comedian Jerry Seinfeld (also available with an Audible membership) was released in 2020. In it, Seinfeld recounts the evolution over 5 decades of his jokes and joke style. As one of the highest earning comedians in history, being ranked first in 2017 by Forbes, it's evident that Seinfeld knows his comedy potential.
Some Suggested Reading for Best Books On Comedy:
The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the History of American Comedy– This history book of comedy is debatably the best place to start in order to learn about comedy. It presents 100 years of comedy material, with more detail than you could imagine!
Mastering Stand-Up: The Complete Guide to Becoming a Successful Comedian– Even though it's written for budding stand-up comedians, any teacher in front of a room of students could benefit from some of the tips for humor!
The New Comedy Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Writing and Performing Stand-Up Comedy– I especially think the writing tips make this book 'best of' material for parents, grandparents, teachers, or anyone thinking of writing funny material for kids.
The Punchline For Books On Being Funny
Books on being funny surpass just joke books, though joke books are one avenue to go down.
From books that take a psychological look at humor to books about improving a sense of humor to books about writing funny lines…not to mention, humorous books you can read aloud, there's a plethora of material to help anyone looking to laugh or make someone else laugh!
The main thing is to not be intimidated, know your purpose, and then, have fun on your journey through books about being funny!

My kids are young and they enjoy art. They have a fine art teacher (a dear friend of mine), and that translates into enjoying art in school hours and at leisure. When they were younger, we routinely bought coloring books and printed out coloring worksheets for them. Now as they are growing up, they do more explorative free hand art.
After watching movies or TV shows, they love drawing out their favorite characters and coloring them. But, the coloring workbook still makes its appearance quite frequently. Sometimes they also pull out their old coloring sheets to see the colors spilling out, evidence of the uncontrolled joy of early childhood coloring!
Some months ago, I read an article in the Huffington Post about coloring not being just for kids. How true! There is one family activity we all still enjoy – on a large sheet of paper, we all take turns to add a small drawing, to make a cohesive whole. We might start with a tree and at the end we might have a park with swings, flower beds, stick kids, stick adults, toys etc. Everything drawn in is also colored in. When my older one was still a toddler, I remember coloring along. Filling in the printed designs was great fun!
Psychologists say coloring reduces stress levels in adults by getting their creativity flowing and taking them into a comfort zone from childhood when they naturally had less stress. If the adult's stressed mind, seeking happier times from childhood, finds it in the humble coloring activity, it translates into a fact, parents, teachers and caregivers must never forget – coloring activities can never be overemphasized.
In most older cultures, drawing an outline and then filling it in with color was there in some form or the other, using chalks, paints, vegetable dyes or even powdered colors. Even ancient cave art reflected this. It was a way to express what was in the mind.
In the modern education model, it has translated into the coloring activity. All early education models include the coloring activity. In fact, observant teachers notice trouble that a child might have through their artwork. Psychologists study a child's coloring and art to get clues to a troubled child's state of mind. Working with children and their drawings is a vast area of study in itself.
The creative result of coloring is enjoyed by all who see it, and like any art, people enjoy seeing it many times over. That is the reason it hangs on classroom walls and on home fridges with such regularity. Kids take it home with pride in their achievement, even as teachers see yet another batch of kids moving to the next stage in their development.
1. Coloring is engaging and even absorbing, as it is primarily a creative outlet. The involvement trains their mind to stay focused.
2. From historic times it has been believed that color is a reflection of the state of mind, which therefore gives coloring a therapeutic effect.
3. Children learn to be patient and persevering (which is important in these short attention-span years), as they work on coloring activities which they complete.

Quality - Quality is everything. Low fat, high protein, as many natural ingredients as possible, and a brand name that is notorious for flavor and attention to good products. Trust us, you can taste a poor quality jerky from a good one.
Brand Reviews - The voice of the people. Even if we liked it, that's not enough to put it on this list. We took a look at what everyone else thought, their experiences with the brand, customer service, replacements, and more.
Taste - This was a truly fun test, but was plenty of sodium for the day. Taste comes down to the marinade they use, and it's very much influenced by the texture, which we'll get into in a moment.
Price - You pay a lot for a little with beef jerky. On average, packages contain three ounces. Price is heavily influenced by how lean the meat was during production. Don't worry, we found far better deals than average for you up above.
Taste - After all, this is why we're here. Taste is heavily influenced by texture when it comes to beef jerky, so you'll need to take the toughness and moisture into consideration before digging in. For example, organic beef jerky tends to be moister because it has a short shelf life. Smoked beef jerky is tough and dry, so you'll get a lot more shelf life out of it.
Ingredients - Beef jerky has a relatively short list of ingredients, even when heavily processed. You'll run into various spices and flavorings, commonly seeing soy sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Few preservatives are used and are usually only citric acid and salt.
Type of Meat - Yes, it's all beef, but from different cuts. Most commonly, you'll see beef flank steak, round steak, rump roast, and brisket flats. Occasionally, you'll also see London broil cuts.
Dry/Moist - Beef jerky is traditionally enjoyed dry, though some brands have a moist version that doesn't have as long of an expiration date, but has a lot more flavor and retained marination mixture.
Tough/Soft - Beef jerky has a natural leathery texture to it, which is what you want. However, this could seriously impact how well your teeth can handle it. Different brands have a different standard for how tough or soft they make their beef jerky, usually indicated on their package. This comes down to personal preference.
Either way, you'll need to go ahead and use one of two methods to properly store it and reduce the effects of oxidation.


My family used to go Camping at Canvey Island in the late 50s early 60s. the owners were a Family named Fielding or Fielder.

Contract: Incorporation of Collective Agreement
Was a term in a collective agreement reducing overtime pay apt for incorporation into an individual employment contract?
Not on the facts, held the EAT in Lozaique v Tesco Stores Ltd.
Mr Lozaique was employed by Tesco in security. His contract of employment required him to do 20 hours of overtime per week, for which he was entitled to be paid at time and a half. This was confirmed by a letter to him in October 2005.
Tesco argued that a subsequent collective agreement was incorporated into his contract of employment, and that, as a result, the rate for 12 hours of that overtime had been reduced from time and a half to single time. Mr Lozaique brought a claim to recover the shortfall in pay via an unlawful deduction from wages claim in the employment tribunal.
The tribunal rejected the claim and decided the collective agreement was incorporated into the contract, including the section on pay. The tribunal held that the agreement was therefore effective to reduce Mr Lozaique's overtime entitlement.
The EAT allowed Mr Lozaique's appeal. While the collective agreement was expressly incorporated in the contract of employment, the revised term about overtime premiums was not apt for incorporation. The terms in the collective agreement which referred to premiums did not, as a matter of construction, apply to the 20 hours of overtime which were provided for in the 2005 letter. Mr Lozaique had an obligation to do this overtime, and the overtime was not therefore voluntary. The terms about premiums could not therefore displace the provisions of the 2005 letter promising 20 hours of guaranteed overtime.
The tribunal had erred in law in not asking whether each of the relevant terms of the collective agreement was apt for incorporation into the employment contract. The tribunal assumed that, having decided that the collective agreement was incorporated into Mr Lozaique's contract, it followed that every term of the collective agreement was also incorporated. That, said the EAT, "was a non sequitur".
Nor had the contractual position changed by custom and practice. It is settled law that a term implied by custom and practice cannot contradict an express term of the contract (here, the 2005 letter).

Researchers Hope To Re-Create Historic Scents From History What did history smell like? A new project wants to help you find out. The project is bringing together historians, chemists and perfumers.
Researchers Hope To Re-Create Historic Scents From History
Researchers Hope To Re-Create Historic Scents From History 1:49
What did history smell like? A new project wants to help you find out. The project is bringing together historians, chemists and perfumers.
What's That Smell? Researchers Hope To Recreate Historic Scents From Europe's Past
So what did history smell like? A new project called Odeuropa wants you to find out.
WILLIAM TULLETT: What we're aiming to do is to locate, trace, understand and preserve the smells of the past.
GREENE: That is history professor William Tullett at Anglia Ruskin University in the U.K. He wants to bring historic aromas as ancient as the 16th century back to life.
What makes those smells so important?
TULLETT: One of the things that we're really interested in is how some of the fundamental transformations that have characterized European history over the last 400, 500 years have affected people's smellscapes.
INSKEEP: One example of a smellscape...
TULLETT: The impact of colonization and empire and the way in which new smells have kind of come into Europe and also, of course, how other cultures have interpreted the smell of Europeans who, for example, in the 19th century were held to smell quite weird actually to non-European noses. There was a suggestion that Europeans smelled vaguely kind of like gone-off dairy because we drank lots of milk and ate lots of cheese.
INSKEEP: So historians, chemists and perfumers are trying to find historic references to scents in literature and then recreate them. Old cheese is not the only smell the project will highlight.
TULLETT: A scent that I think is endlessly fascinating to smell is civet.
GREENE: So civet is an oil secreted by an animal, the civet. They kind of look like a cross between a cat and a raccoon. Centuries ago, Europeans extracted the oil for perfumes. This is a process now viewed as inhumane.
TULLETT: Raw civet on its own smells really weird because it's got a fecal scent to it, but it also smells really nice at the same time. You know, you're kind of both disgusted and kind of intrigued, and it's kind of weirdly sexy at the same time.
INSKEEP: OK. The hope is to share these aromas in museums and create an online encyclopedia of smells.

The city of Corfu is a former municipality located in the island of Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece. It became world wide known since it plays a central role in the science-fiction novel Year Zero, by Jeff Long. Corfu has a long tradition in the fine arts and the Philharmonic Society of Corfu is part of this tradition along with its Museum, which presents in detail the musical heritage of the island. Corfu city has a Mediterranean climate with temperatures reaching 33 °C (91 °F) during the warm summers and around on or above 10 °C (50 °F during the mild winters.
The town of Corfu stands on a peninsula, whose termination in the Venetian citadel is cut off from it by an artificial fosse formed in a natural gully. The so called Contra-Fossa is a salt-water ditch at the bottom of the town, that serves also as a kind of marina. The old city is a labyrinth of narrow streets paved with cobblestones, that grew up within fortifications, where every metre of ground was precious. These streets are called "kantounia". Many of them are too narrow for vehicular traffic.and the older ones sometimes follow the gentle irregularities of the ground. There are good restaurants and European style bistros in the promenade by the seashore towards the bay and also a beautiful esplanade between the town and the citadle.
This island has being one of the most colonised in the Mediterranean sea. The Corinthians, Romans, Byzantines, Russians, French and Turks were there. But none of them influenced the island as much as the Venetians, who gave its capital such grace that, two centuries after they left, it attracts people from everywhere. Count von der Schulenburg still stands guard in stone at the Old Fortress's entrance, where he led Venetians, mercenaries and Corfiots to repel the last westward Ottoman push in 1716. The Spianada, a lawned square show sus the legacies of the British protectorate (1815-64) which include occasional games of cricket. In our times thousands of sun worshippers who descend on Corfu each summer. Corfu's highest peak (Mount Pantokrator) located in the north-eastern part of the island, reaches the 2,972 feet (906m) height. At the summit, the whole of Corfu as well as Albania which lies a short distance from there, can be seen. At the top there is a café for tourists, a telecommunications station, and a monastery dated from around 1689, with its current facade built during the 19th century. A place that is worth visiting…

Terry 'to keep England captaincy'
October 26 2011 10:52 AM
John Terry will remain England captain for next month's friendly double-header with Spain and Sweden if the investigation into his alleged racist slur against Anton Ferdinand has not concluded.
Press Association Sport understands the Football Association have no plans to suspend Terry as skipper pending the outcome of their inquiry, with the game's governing body adopting an "innocent until proven guilty" policy.
There is still no guarantee the Chelsea captain will lead his country out in either game at Wembley, with manager Fabio Capello planning to blood several of his fringe players during the back-to-back matches on November 12 and 15.
The FA have launched an inquiry into allegations Terry racially abused Ferdinand during Chelsea's west London derby defeat at QPR on Sunday.
Terry responded by vowing to clear his name after categorically denying the claims, which are also being assessed by Metropolitan Police following an anonymous complaint.
Being found guilty after either the FA or police probe could have a ruinous effect on Terry's future in the game. The 30-year-old has endured a difficult time over the last 12 months, with allegations that he slept with the ex-girlfriend of former team-mate Wayne Bridge costing him the England captaincy.
The Londoner regained the skipper's armband in March, but manager Fabio Capello could be forced to rescind it again - and even stop picking Terry altogether - if the defender is found guilty of racially abusing a fellow player.
He and Ferdinand both look likely to be quizzed by the FA during their inquiry, while a key witness could be Terry's Chelsea and England team-mate Ashley Cole.
The video footage which sparked the current storm shows Cole walking past Terry as he utters the words which some have interpreted as a racist slur.
Terry has admitted using the language but claimed he was actually responding to an accusation of racist abuse from Ferdinand and was simply denying using those words towards him.

Q: How to find coordinates of intersecting circles using TikZ? I'm using code based on Tomas M. Trzeciak's Stereographic and cylindrical map projections example to draw spheres.
I have added three great circles to the sphere: The equator, and two longitudinal circles. I want to mark the (frontal) intersections of the equator and the other two great circles with dots (just as I have with the zenith and nadir), and label them A and B. For this, I probably need to use the coordinates of the intersections of the circles somehow. How do I do this?

Remark
For PGF/TikZ version 3.0 the code given in the original question has to be modified to produce the desired result by changing  (as in my example code) estyle to style in the lines
  \tikzset{#1/.estyle={cm={\cost,\sint*\sinEl,0,\cosEl,(0,0)}}}

and
  \tikzset{#1/.estyle={cm={\cost,0,0,\cost*\sinEl,(0,\yshift)}}} %

In any case, my solution will work for any version > 2.10.

A: For what it's worth, here is a version done in Metapost.

Finding the intersections is easy using the intersectionpoint construct.  But as you'll see I've cheated a bit by keeping the north and south poles at the top and bottom.  To rotate the figure freely as in your example would require working out all the projections, which would be a bit tedious in plain MP (but not impossible).
prologues := 3;
outputtemplate := "%j%c.eps";

beginfig(1);

path outline, equator, prime_meridian, ninety_meridian;

r := 100;
outline := fullcircle scaled 2r;

n := 40;
for i = 0 upto n:
  fill outline scaled (1-3i/4n) shifted (-i*r/2.8n,i*r/2.8n) withcolor (0.5+i/1.6n)*white;
endfor

equator         = outline yscaled 0.14;
prime_meridian  = outline xscaled 0.54;
ninety_meridian = outline xscaled 0.84;

drawoptions(dashed withdots withcolor .3 white);
draw subpath(0,4) of equator;

It has been ages since you saw the Crazy Canvaswork Cushion – I got stuck and fed up with it and threw it aside in a huff, but since I've now sorted out the frustration I can cry "Onward and forward!" and show you Section Ten, which against my original idea, mentioned in Part Six, of choosing a horizontally striped pattern, I chose a basketweave bargello pattern. This is a pattern I have been longing to use and never had a use for.
What hadn't quite registered with me was the scale of the pattern. It's easy to work, although getting the colour progression right is a little tricky when you're stash-busting!
I did maintain the orientation of the dark to light in both of the colour sections, but I wonder whether the light squares are too light. One of the advantages of this project is that it will give me references in the future to help me to remember what I need to think about when I choose to use some of these stitches and patterns.
Section Eleven was the problem that caused me to make disgusted noises and set the whole thing aside. I started the section using and interlocking and crossing stitch, but it didn't cover the canvas thoroughly enough, I didn't enjoy working it, and it was using a lot of thread. Now, I want to use up as much of my thread as possible, but I also want the shapes and sizes to balance nicely.
All of this made me downright grumpy with the whole thing.
Finally, over Christmas (having packed everything else away so I would have to solve the problem!) I unpicked the stitch I didn't like, and started again, leafing though my books of stitches and patterns. Finally, I chose Plaited Stitch. It creates the horizontal stripes I had first thought of for Section Ten, but it is a diagonal stitch, so it contrasts with the Section Ten I finally did, and it is a crossed stitch, which contrasts with the diagonal stitches and straight bargello stitches of sections Nine and Ten.
Nice to see your crazy-canvaswork continuing. I like the plaited stitch. The bargello basketweave is impressive. If you feel it is too bold and distracting you can replace the white with the mid green that is colour two on one bar and colour three on the other (or something similar, such as mid-greenish-grey). That will leave the basketwork structure showing, but make it less obtrusive. I suspect that you will find you won't need to make any changes, and the pattern will fit in happily when all the other sections are in place. But it's an option if you need it.
I love it that you didn't give up!! In the past I have been known to do the 'stash in the cupboard' thing only to find it, still stashed and unfinished, a few years later. I'm glad you rescued your work — its going to be stunning when its finished.
sometimes putting something down and revisiting it after awhile helps see things in a different light. do hope you keep on with this one. i love the look.
Good for you! I have a feeling that we'll see this finished soon!
I'd forgotten about this project! So nice to see it again. The basketweave bargello is a fab pattern, it has such depth to it.
A New Year and new stitches! I love the plaited stitch and ten out of ten for perseverance! The Bargello is impressive and it will be interesting to see when it is all finished whether the very light is too light. So looking forward to the finished article.
a huff? you? I don't believe it……it is looking beautiful Rachel, so the huff was at least productive. Then again it looked beautiful before the huff!!
The basketweave is very effective. I can imagine it looking good on a set of dining chairs. The plaited stitch is lovely – looks beautiful in the close-up. Hope it is continuing to progress well.
Oh how many times have I done the same thing, thrown that piece aside swearing to never look at it again. Somehow or other when you come back to the piece it all just sort of sorts itself out. Looking good.
It looks really good! I would rather put something aside for a while if it isn't going well, rather than soldiering on and not enjoying it.
Very pretty gradation of color.
Visiting from Elizabeth's blog…love this piece!

'Chennai police killed criminals and not some innocent tourists'
KravMaga Sreeram
Vol 2 |&nbspIssue 8
Two daring bank robberies in broad daylight in Chennai within the span of a month! Lakhs of rupees looted from the banks. Suspects at large and believed to be dangerous since they possess guns. There is fear among the people. Where will the robbers strike next?
Then the news comes that the robbers have been shot dead by a police team in an encounter in Chennai. It is also reported that the cops had acted based on specific information from the house owner that the suspects whose sketch had been released in the media were staying in his house.
Top Chennai cops have come under fire from the media following the killing of five persons in an encounter last week (Photos: Nakkheeran)
The police claim they were shot at when they visited the house, and they fired in self-defence. Now, this is a matter that has to be established by a separate inquiry as per due process of law.
But why is everyone competing to depict the cops as villains? Why has it become fashionable for the media to go after the cops after every encounter without going into the merits of each case separately?
Since 2002 I have assisted police teams that worked on various criminal cases, some of which ended in 'encounters.' In the recent incident, I helped the police in doing the sketch of one of the suspects, who was identified in the CCTV of a bank while doing a recce.
Employees of the bank, where the dacoits had struck, identified the man as one of the gang members involved in the robberies. There is little doubt that those shot dead were members of a criminal gang that was striking terror in Chennai and not some innocent tourists who had come on a sight-seeing trip to the city.
Before proceeding any further let me clearly state that I totally accept the dictum that in a democracy, each institution, like the Legislature, Judiciary, and the Media, has the responsibility of keeping each other in check.
The media plays its role by putting everything in proper perspective. It gives space to various points-of-view, and carries expert opinions on issues.
However, in the aftermath of the recent Velachery encounter, wherein the 5 suspects of the bank robberies got killed, I found at least two leading English newspapers donning the role of forensic investigators. They had gone to great lengths to convince the public that these were planned killings by Chennai police
YOU CAN NEVER SATISFY SOME
This reminded me of a story in mythology.
A king and his minister were taking a stroll when a small sparrow flew around them, badgering the king to donate a coin.
The king tried to ignore its insistent demands, but the minister asked the king to give the sparrow a coin so that it would fly away leaving them in peace. As soon as the king gave the sparrow a coin, it flew around shouting to all, "the king got frightened of me and gave me a coin."
The irritated king caught the sparrow and took away the coin. The released sparrow now started shouting at the top of its voice, "The king robbed a poor sparrow."
THE GREY WEB OF POLICING
The media is quick to blame the police when incidents of crime go up in the city. When the cops act tough, they are blamed for acting too tough.
Police officers are caught in a web of demanding political masters, the cynical media, the powerful mafia which has the money and political clout, a burgeoning urban crime graph and the poor clueless law-abiding public who look up to the police for protection.
They have to satisfy all these stake-holders with a field force that lacks in technology and motivation!
Police standing outside the house where the encounter took place
QUESTIONS IN VELACHERY ENCOUNTER
1) Media says the encounter was pre-planned – Calls were pouring in from the public since the morning after TV channels aired the video footage of the suspect. Around 30 teams were following the leads in the city and even in other states. I was talking to the Joint Commissioner of Police at 11pm, i.e 2 hours before the encounter, and we were having only a regular discussion; I saw no undue tension or anxiety in his manner and talk.
2) Why was Police armed if it was a regular enquiry – In both the robberies the criminals had threatened the bank staff with small arms. Having obtained definite information that the suspects were staying in the house, it is only logical that the police team went armed.
3) The suspects could have been captured alive – That would have been possible if the Chennai police had a properly equipped team to face barricaded armed criminals. The reality is ordinary L&O police, without even a bullet proof jacket were doing the enquiry. They cannot afford to have a long drawn out shooting in a crowded residential area. In the US, police teams use a 'Stun Grenade' in such situations. I am sure our field force hasn't been exposed to such technology so far.
RESPONSIBLE REPORTING
Unfortunately, most of the field level reporters look for obvious interpretations which fit into the template of their theories. 'Fake encounter' makes interesting headlines, but matured and nuanced reporting is need of the hour.

EnerBank USA is headquartered in Salt Lake City and is the 14th largest bank in the state of Utah. It is also the 425th largest bank in the nation. It was established in 2002 and as of December of 2018, it had grown to 311 employees at 1 location. EnerBank USA has an A+ health rating.
Telephone application process was simple and painless. A decision made for an emergency HVAC replacement to keep cash. Plumbing company recommended. Documents arrived quickly and website efficient, making payments easy. Excellent early repayment offer.
Two Time Customer Rates A Positive Experience.
You assisted us twice in times of great need--much appreciated.
The only thing a customer can do online is pay their bill. One cannot see their account online, can't look up interest payments or see anything because there is NO ONLINE account information. Oh, but they are more than happy to FAX or MAIL the information to you. Their customer service is hamstrung. They can't even look up the info to give it to one over the phone. No place to sign in on their website. This also means that one's account can't be linked to Mint.com, where one can monitor all of their accounts in one place. It is all manual, which is archaic at the end of 2018. It is so frustrating. If it weren't for their wonderful customer service, good interest rate and ease of getting a loan, it would be unbearable. Oh, and they took my account off of auto payments after one year and told me it was in the fine print. REALLY?!! So my 13th payment was late (after a full year of on time payments) and they charged me a late fee! Thankfully, their customer service is good and they waived the fee, but what a hassle. No notice and they screwed up a perfectly good payment program. Why would they do that?!
Sorry, we do not have rate data for EnerBank USA.


The Australian's smear campaign against the Prime Minister hasn't had a lot of new material lately. Having devoted months and acres of newsprint to investigating the minutiae of what Julia Gillard did in the 1990s and not turned up a single actual claim of wrongdoing, the brains trust at Holt St must be ruing that after such a big investment of resources in smearing her, all they got for their troubles was a few points' fall in her approval rating.
Still, The Oz didn't get where it is today -- a dying paper for angry old conservative men -- without a willingness to flog a dead horse. So today, it carried over 1000 words on the AWU matter about how there's "a prima facie case that she could have been charged", by one Terry O'Connor.

Tulane Rides Wave to 41-24 Win over Louisiana at the AutoNation Cure Bowl
Box Score (PDF) | Postgame Quotes
Written By: Dallas Ward
ORLANDO, Fla. (OrlandoSportsFoundation.com) – The Tulane Green Wave won the 2018 AutoNation Cure Bowl benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), their fifth bowl victory in school history, by defeating the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns, 41-24, on Dec. 15 at Camping World Stadium. Tulane junior running back Darius Bradwell was named the Most Valuable Player following the victory.
"I wasn't too tired but, 35 carries – that is the most that I have ever received in a game," Bradwell said. "But, I'm just happy for these seniors. This whole season went to these seniors."
This was the first AutoNation Cure Bowl appearance for both teams and marked the first time in Cure Bowl history that a game was played between in-state rivals. The Tulane Green Wave (7-6, 5-3 AAC) relied heavily on their run offense to surpass their neighborhood rival, the Ragin' Cajuns (7-7, 5-3 Sun Belt).
"I am just really proud of the football program, the university and how they supported us," Tulane head coach Willie Fritz said. "These guys worked their tails off, especially our seniors. There were some tough times here at Tulane. These guys embraced me and a new staff and just worked through everything. Every game this season was like fourth and inches – every one of them is tough."
Even with a quick start and a touchdown on their first possession, the Ragin' Cajuns shortly fell victim to the Green Wave's offensive threat. Tulane went on to score three of their five touchdowns in the first quarter and kept their momentum throughout the game.
Although Louisiana managed to shorten the gap at the start of the fourth quarter to 27-24, the Green Wave remained ahead thanks to their rushing weapon, Darius Bradwell, who broke the previous Cure Bowl records in rushing attempts (35), rushing yards (150), and rushing TD's (2).
On top of that, Tulane also managed to set bowl records for the highest net rushing yards at 337 and total offensive yards at 482. Both teams were a combined 8-for-8 in the red zone with Tulane accounting for six of those scores.
BRINGING TEAMS TOGETHER TO FIND A CURE FOR CANCER
Following the first quarter, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) presented a check for $1,145,833 to Dr. Annette Khaled, professor and head of the cancer division at the UCF College of Medicine.
The sum shows the amount that Dr. Khaled has received from the first three AutoNation Cure Bowl games, which raised $3.55 million for BCRF.
At halftime, JA Edwards provided Orlando Sports Foundation with a $15,000 check, which were funds raised during a promotion where of portion of each roof built during October went to cancer research.
FFVA Mutual also presented a check to Orlando Sports Foundation during halftime. A check of $16,600 showcased the money raised at the FFVA Mutual Invitational on Nov. 4.
After the completion of the fourth quarter, Sanford, Fla., based SoftWash Systems presented a check for $102,371, which showed a three-year total donation to the Orlando Sports Foundation. The company has a nation-wide network of more than 250 soft washing professionals.
The Orlando Sports Foundation's mission is to bring teams together to find a cure for cancer.
BACKING BRADWELL
The Tulane offense relied on the rushing attack led by MVP Darrius Bradwell, who totaled 150 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns – all bowl records.
His first plunge into the endzone came with 9:49 left in the first quarter on a 15-yard run to knot the score at 7-7.
The Tallahassee, Fla., native scampered for four yards to provide Tulane with a comfortable 24-24 advantage with just under four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
"We kept feeding him. He did a nice job of getting vertical. A couple times, they made some twists inside and got us in some fourth-and-short situations. For the most part, he did a really nice job of seeing the holes and getting vertical. He is a hard guy to arm tackle"
-Tulane Head Coach Willie Fritz
CONTROLLING THE LINE
The OUC Lineman of the Game was sophomore Corey Dublin, who helped lead the Green Wave offensive line that featured Noah Fisher, Dominique Briggs, John Leglue and Joey Claybrook.
The Green Wave controlled the clock and registered a time of possession of 40:31.
The Tulane defense held the Ragin' Cajuns to 84 rushing yards on 30 attempts, while limiting the passing attack to just 11 completions and 175 yards.
"Well, earlier in the week we talked. We take pride in that (stopping the run) and we always want to have a challenge. And, we knew with two all-conference running backs, it was going to be a challenge. But then it's fun for us and I'm happy about it."
-Junior S Roderick Teamer Jr.
SACK ATTACK
The Tulane defense was in the Ragin' Cajun backfield all game, recording 6.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss.
Redshirt senior Zachery Harris tallied two sacks and three tackles for loss, while junior Lawrence Graham brought the quarterback down twice.
The Green Wave forced Louisiana to lose a total of 48 yards on tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
Harris also paced Tulane with eight solo stops.
"I knew coming in, stopping them from in the backfield was going to be a huge challenge for us. Number nine, Trey Ragas, I played him in High School so, I know how physical he is. Just being able to stop him and stop UL's run defense was a huge accomplishment for us."
-Louisiana Senior LB Zachery Harris
RAGIN' CAJUN DEFFENSE
Louisiana seemed to turn the tide at halftime when sophomore Braylen Trahan intercepted Tulane quarterback's Justin McMillan's pass and returned it for 63 yards.
That play helped Ragin' Cajuns cut the deficit to 24-10 at halftime.
Seven different Louisiana players were credited for a sack.
Trahan also forced a fumble that was recovered by the Ragin' Cajuns.
A team-best eight stops were credited to junior Ferrod Gardner.
"We have a special group of young men in that locker room that basically started the year with a new football staff and zero expectations. Through a journey and a commitment and a lot of time, effort and discipline, they made a steady improvement"
-Louisiana Head Coach Billy Napier

The Verney Copy of the first edition of the Quartermaster's Map
By HOLLAR, W[enceslaus], 1644
The kingdome of England & principality of Wales exactly described whith every sheere & the small townes in every one of them : in six mappes, portable for every mans pocket
British Isles Great Britain
Author: HOLLAR, W[enceslaus]
Publication place: [London]
Publisher: Thomas Jenner
Physical description: Folio (425 by 305mm). Engraved title and 6 maps tipped in and made up to size, contemporary calf with roll tool gilt border, rebacked retaining original spine.
During the English Civil War, Parliamentarian publisher Thomas Jenner worked alongside Royalist supporter and newly arrived immigrant Wenceslaus Hollar to produce a detailed map of England and Wales. A reduced version of Christopher Saxton's 1583 map, it is printed on six sheets, with the western tip of Cornwall printed on a separate smaller piece of paper and glued on. It became known as the 'Quartermasters' Map',
perhaps because of the importance of this leading military rank during the Civil War, and it has been said to show every town, village, and estate capable of housing a garrison. The extensive title certainly advertises it for such a purpose: "Usefull for all Commanders for Quarteringe of Souldiers, and all sorts of Persons, that would be informed where the Armies be; and never so Commodiously drawne before this". Hollar's engraved lettering looks better than his spelling!
After the conflict, and with England now a safer place to travel, the title of later editions was amended from "portable for every mans pocket" to "usefull for all Gentlemen and Travellors and all sorts of Persons that would be Informed of the Distance of Places". Although towns, villages, rivers, hills, county boundaries and a few important buildings are shown, no roads appear. The map would prove highly influential in English cartography over the subsequent decades.
There is a reference to the map in Pepys's diary for 9 June 1667: "My Lord Barkeley wanting some maps, and Sir W. Coventry recommending the six maps of England that are bound up for the pocket".
1. Inscription of Edmund Verney (1636–1688)
On the verso of the title:
"This booke is myne, Edmund Verney, Anno Domini 1666"
Verney's grandfather, Sir Edmund Verney, had held the position of Standard Bearer to Charles I, and died at Edge Hill in 1642, some two years prior to the publication of the map.
2. Bookplate of Syston Park
From the Thorold Collection at Syston Park, Lincolnshire. Syston Park was once owned by the Verney family.
NHG Hollar 550–554
Pennington 652–7.


"From beginning to end, our faith is indeed all about Jesus."
There's only one reason to be a Christian, and His name is J-E-S-U-S.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). This text is one of the most renowned and beloved texts in Scripture. It describes in cryptic clarity the essence of our faith. In fact, the entire first chapter of John is a deep Christological treatise that captivates readers again and again.
It describes the Word in His divine and eternal state. The divine Word functioned as Creator, expressed by the simply profound fact that "without Him nothing was made that was made" (verse 3).
He's not bound by nature; He's beyond this world, but He breaks that dividing barrier and "pitches His tent" with us.1 The Word comes to His creation and is invested in the life of His creatures in such a way that He lives among us. He doesn't enjoy an isolated and safe utopia, donning a sterile hazmat suit in order to avoid contamination, but He empties Himself of all that He could rightfully cling on to, so that He can live among those who are in rebellion against Him and thus bring about God's revelation. In short, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; the eternal is made temporal, and divinity empties itself into humanity.
The tragedy is that the Word's mission was greeted by indifference or plain rejection. "He came to His own and His own did not receive Him" (verse 11). Happily, there were those who did see Him, for John exclaims, "We beheld His glory" (verse 14).
Those who saw the Word have given us, through word and time, the message that reveals what is the central component of our faith, the main reason we are called "Christians." With our name we bear witness as to the what of our faith; better yet, whom we follow. Jesus is the central figure of Adventism. If not for Him, His resurrection, the apostle Paul asserts unequivocally, "our preaching is useless and so is your faith" (1 Cor. 15:14, NIV).
Christ comes to the world with a purpose, a mission described by the apostle Paul as the ministry of reconciliation. The staggering fact is that God is the One who initiates reconciliation with humanity, when it was humanity that severed its ties with God in the first place.2 Jesus is the central means by which reconciliation occurs; without Him life is just good intentions and vain imaginations. Without Jesus we have nothing.
Furthermore, Jesus is not just central as God, Creator, and Reconciler; He takes the redemption of humanity even further. Christ is not so removed from us that He sits on a lofty pedestal as an unreachable celebrity of sorts. In His plan He becomes the one who empowers us in our faith.
The idea of the Finisher, rather than pointing to a certain state of crossing a specific finish line, is a more dynamic growth concept. It highlights a maturing process in which Christ, the One who starts our faith, is the One who brings it to maturity. From beginning to end, our faith is all about Jesus.

Christmas is coming … and this month there's lots of festive cheer with the Christmas Tree-O – a tree that needs no floor space, Nordic placemats and Robert the Red Nose Reindeer. You'll also find more woodland-themed patterns as well as some traditional store cupboard cold remedies, the final part of my series on natural dyes and colours and hints and tips on working with waste canvas.
Following feedback from my lovely subscribers, all templates are now in a separate section at the back of the magazine – and are provided full size so there's no need to worry about resizing them.
