Wash, rinse, repeat, be successful. That's a great recipe for both clean hair and creating successful people. What does that even mean? Simple, routines help us accomplish more. You want clean hair? You follow those steps each time and get a positive result. You want to be successful? Then make a routine. To be even more successful, execute that routine in the morning. By starting out the right way you create and fuel success from start to finish each and every day.
Who do Routines Work for?
There you go my success ninjas!
A routine is something you do without fail to get a result. To find an example of positive routines that work for successful people, let's take a look at two very prosperous individuals you have most likely heard of.
Our first example is Tony Robbins.
What does this effective life success coach do each morning?
He takes a cold shower.
Meditates with thoughts of gratitude and envisions his future.
Primes himself up to have a successful day.
And self-help guru and entrepreneur Tim Ferris?
What these successful people do each morning may seem like little things that really don't add up to much at first glance. So how do a whole lot of small things equal great accomplishments? So glad you asked. Read what I got out of Tim's book here.
As Aristotle said, "the whole is greater than sum of its parts" and that is what routine is all about. When Aristotle said these words he meant the little parts equal something of great magnitude, well beyond the worth of the little pieces on their own. When you do little things, like meditating or making your bed in the morning, like Robbins and Ferris do, you are implementing routines that can prime you for maximum productivity each day. Having order and organization is a vital need, and this is exactly what a routine offers.
Those that constantly excel and are go-getters seek out and establish routines that work for them and then stick to them. So the key is to find those little parts that equal your greater whole because they work FOR YOU. See our top exercise routines that work for men over 50.
Here are 10 examples of little things that make successful routines and in turn create a successful you.
This can actually begin the night before and is the essential key to creating a routine. We've all heard to old adage…early to bed, early to rise, makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Yeah you remember, and it's true. Being rested and having time to think through day allows us to use our minds when they are fresh and full of creativity. If you start your day just 20 minutes earlier, you create a less stressful morning. Doing this keeps your mind and body calm, and will without a doubt, make the rest of your day better and more fruitful. Also by getting earlier, you allow yourself time to incorporate the rest of the little parts of your routine. If you aren't into getting up earlier, then look at your work schedule. Can you push your workday start time back by a half an hour? If so, then you have created more time for your morning routine. There's no right or wrong way to make a routine work for you. As long as you create the time in the morning, then you have accomplished the most essential part to creating a routine and successful day.
Besides making your mom extremely happy, by making your bed each morning you have already accomplished something. This sense of accomplishment leads to wanting to accomplish and actually executing, more tasks, putting you on a roll of supreme success output. Plus, when you return home for the day, even if the rest of the world is out of control, your bed is still made, still in order, and ready for you. So, making your bed actually, begins and ends your day with success. A two for one isn't that a heck of a deal.
Yeah right, maybe that's what you're thinking. But do you really think both Tony and Tim, two very successful individuals, are both wrong? Meditating isn't religious, nor is it sitting high on some mountain top, with your legs crossed, chanting ohm over and over again.
Meditation can be simple. Just taking the first 5 minutes before you rise from your bed to focus and become aware of yourself is enough. Take in a few deep breaths, concentrate, and feel them move through your body.
In meditation, the mind is uncluttered, calm, and focused. Mediation is not sleeping, but full alertness with true unadulterated focus. It's when your mind truly becomes still and silent. When you return from your meditative state, your mind and body are ready to begin with fresh new invigorated ambition for the day and ready to accomplish great feats. Mediation has many benefits from improving mood, reducing inflammation, increasing the brain's ability to process information more efficiently, and even help reduce pain. All these can improve your day and life, equaling a more successful you!
I believe breathing is power. If you can breathe and control it, you can lead your body and mind to push through anything. Breathing is part of meditation and helps you focus. When you meditate you also are practicing purposeful breath. Learning to breathe when not under stress, teaches you to use your breath to calm yourself and to maneuver your way through stressful moments. Simply put, if you can breathe through it, you can think through it, and therefore you can work through it.
By allowing time in the morning to see and feel the morning sun you allow your body to wake more naturally. This will reduce cortisol levels and bump serotonin and melatonin production. This will make you happier and sleep better the following evening. Once again, a good morning equals a good day and a good night. If the weather is pleasant you can go outside to do this and enjoy listening to the birds or the wind in the trees. This can also be how you meditate. If the weather isn't something you want to venture out into, or perhaps you have a little one sleeping that you need to mind to, just sit by the window and feel the sun's energy that way.
Many swear that by taking the time to write down your early morning thoughts you allow your mind to begin and stay more creative. Journaling allows us to focus inwardly, much like meditation. This can also make us feel more at ease by organizing our thoughts, which helps us organize our day too. It's much like the sense of accomplishment of tidying up the kitchen (which can be part of your morning routine too) in order to productively work in it to create something masterful.
Several years ago I received a fortune cookie with the fortune inside that read "You love life very much", which I taped to my computer monitor and still read aloud every morning. While this may not seemingly be infused with abundant wisdom or telling all my future has to hold, it actually is indeed both profound and a predictor of my future. By simply reading that modest statement out loud to myself, I affirm my life is good and things are going to go my way. By affirming each day in an audible voice what you want, and what is positive, makes it so.
Create the happiness you want.
Exercising in the morning increases blood flow, releases endorphins, and strengthens your body. It prepares you for the coming day, increases your overall energy levels, and helps you remain in optimal health. To reap the benefits of early morning exercise you don't have to perform your full workout. A quick yoga routine, a walk around the block with the dog, or some quick push-ups, pull-ups, or squats gets the blood flowing and gets the mind moving. Plus, if you find you can work out outside, you will also reap the benefits of seeing and feeling the sun.
Nearly every morning Tony Robbins eats salad and fish. Perhaps an odd breakfast, but it's packed with essential vitamins and minerals and important macronutrients. Plus it isn't loaded with sugar or other things that will have him mentally crashing in an hour. He believes fueling the brain to take on the day is a must to fueling success. I'm not much of breakfast eater myself because my stomach isn't ready to digest a whole lot early in the morning. However, I do often add some hydrolyzed collagen to my coffee or take a scoop of coconut oil before I head out the door. We're all different, so just see what works for you when it comes to eating breakfast. Just be sure that if you do choose to eat breakfast it didn't come from the supermarkets sugar, um, I mean breakfast aisle. This will do you no good, and in fact can move you in the opposite direction of success.
Wait, did I just hear a mass screaming of "NOOOOOO!"? Yeah, I feel you on this one. The last thing I want to do in the morning is pop myself into freezing cold water. However, before you discount this idea completely, note there are some very real benefits to this one. Taking a cold shower, or jumping in a cold pool or lake if you have one nearby, can increase blood flow, burn away unhealthy fat, and release dopamine into the body. Simply put, you are kick starting your body. You will be truly invigorated, alert, and come out of that water ready to be a success ninja!
Tony Robbins swears by this and plunges into 57° water every morning. He's convinced that it's essential for maximum productivity and that it wakes every cell up.
The cold heightens your senses and readies you to take on whatever comes your way. Don't believe me? Try it, at least once. If you need to start small, try just splashing icy water on your face. Next, move to allowing your shower to end with a cold water blast, to eventually an all-out frosty morning cascade. Baby steps my friends, baby steps.
You have heard the term, "save the best for last". With this one here, I did just that. If you choose not to do any of the other 9 items listed above, do this one thing. Being grateful is the most powerful way to change your life. It can improve your mood, satisfaction with life, and help you to focus on what really matters. Knowing what's important helps to know what to work towards, and helps us be successful.
For those that practice yoga you are aware of the tree pose. This pose is a gratitude pose. As you hold the pose on one side and grow your tree, you offer gratitude for something and/or someone in your life. Then as you hold the pose on the other side and grow your tree again, you offer gratitude for something about yourself. This practice allows us to be thankful for what is around us, as well as for ourselves.
If you truly learn how to be appreciative, you will be successful!
Ten little, seemingly minor parts, that can be put together to make whole successful you. A morning routine puts the calm in your day and sets the pace for the rest of your waking hours, and even your sleeping hours. You can modify or add to the 10 examples I gave you if some of these things don't work for you, just don't take out 1 and 10, as these are the most important ones. However, if your routine needs to include drinking coffee for 10 minutes with your cat on your lap, then do that. It's your routine, just be sure to make the time and effort.
If you don't have the time to practice your routine each and every day, then you don't have the time to be successful. So get up, crush your routine, create a successful day and life, and conquer the world! If you still are having trouble just start with one and try it for a week. Then add another routine the following week and build up. Over 10 weeks you will have installed a new habit that will make you outperform most people. All it takes is action and consistency.
Which routine was most surprising to you?

Hilcia, thanks for a lovely and thoughtful review! There is something about your first book that never grows old.
You have picked my interest, though I admit I'm not patient enough to read more mysteries - you made it sound like those really good movies about mysteries.
I shall try to check it out.
I'm just wondering here... as Clare is a priest, there will never be a romance element, right?
Hi Julia. As you can see, I really enjoyed your first book. I loved your characters and will definitely continue reading the series. Thanks for stopping by!
Alex, this book is just like that -- excellent descriptions of sceneries and action, characterization, and events. I hope if you read it, you enjoy.
Nath, Clare is an Episcopalian priest so she can get married if she chooses to. :) So if the author wants to... there CAN be a romance element. That's why I think it's so interesting and can be a bit controversial. The Chief is married and she's a Reverend, so where will it go?
Hils - fantastic review! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! Yes Clare makes some bad decisions, but they are human decisions (versus TSTL :) And yes, you will meet Russ' wife and mother in later books.
As for the religious aspect, I loved the line drawn by the author. I'm not religious per say, and I was worried such a book might gallop into the realm of preachy, but it didn't.
Leslie, great! I think you'll like this series. Definitely unique characters and great setting.
Orannia, thanks so much for recommending this series! I definitely enjoyed the first book and will continue to read it. I'm glad to hear that those two characters make appearances, they seem important. We agree on the religious aspect. I liked the way it was handled.

This map shows the general location of the three shipping routes used during the Dunkirk Evacuation (1940). Information on shipping routes from Thompson, Julian (2011) . Dunkirk: Retreat to Victory. New York: Arcade. ISBN 978-1-61145-314-0. Map, page 223.
The Second World War was a war of movement. At the beginning of the war, the German army seemed unstoppable. On 1 September 1939, they invaded Poland using Blitzkrieg ('lightning war') tactics such as employing radio to co-ordinate attacks; pounding military and civilian targets with bombers or linking fast moving columns of tanks with troops who parachuted from planes to attack enemy lines from behind. These tactics were highly effective, and when Soviet forces attacked Poland on 17 September, Poland collapsed.
After this rapid victory, Hitler was confident that Britain and France would try to come to terms with him rather than oppose him. He took no action against them, but Britain and France did very little as well. The period from September 1939 to March 1940 became known as the 'phoney war'. However, Britain did send its forces, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), to France in case of invasion. In April 1940, Hitler invaded Denmark and Norway, bringing the phoney to an end. British attempts to help Norway failed and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was replaced by a new leader, Winston Churchill.
In May 1940, the German army attacked France through Belgium and Holland using their Blitzkrieg tactics. The German advance was so quick that the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), as well as parts of the French army, were caught by surprise. They were in danger of being surrounded by the Germans and were forced to withdraw to Dunkirk, on the French coast. The only escape route was by sea. At this point, the BEF was in real danger of being wiped out.
On 27 May, the British government put 'Operation Dynamo'– a plan to evacuate the troops to Britain by sea - into action. As well as the Royal Navy's ships, all sorts of craft were used, including pleasure steamers and fishing boats. On the beaches around Dunkirk the Allied troops and equipment were dive bombed by German planes and pounded by German artillery. Then Hitler unexpectedly ordered the advancing German forces to halt. Historians debate why this may have happened – Hitler may have lost his nerve (German losses were severe) or he may have hoped to negotiate a deal with the British. Whatever the reason, it gave the BEF sufficient time to evacuate most of its army. Between 26 May and 4 June, 338,000 British and French troops were evacuated, although as you will see in this investigation there were different numbers reported at the time.
Dunkirk was celebrated in Britain as a great achievement and became known as the 'miracle of Dunkirk'. Before Operation Dynamo had begun, Churchill was pessimistic about its outcome and had warned the House of Commons to expect 'hard and heavy tidings'. However, after its seeming success, the organisation of the Royal Navy was praised and the bravery of the RAF who fought the Luftwaffe over Dunkirk was emphasised. Much was made of the 'little ships' which had rescued around 80,000 troops. Yet the BEF had been driven out of Europe after only ten days of fighting, 3,500 British soldiers had been killed during the French campaign and around 40,000 Allied troops (mainly French) had been left behind to fight the Germans alone. In addition, the British forces had left most of their equipment behind. Field guns, anti-aircraft guns, tanks and motor vehicles, had been either destroyed or left for the Germans. Churchill was aware of these pitfalls and in a speech to the House of Commons on 4 June 1940 he warned that 'we must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations.' He encouraged France to fight on without the BEF, but France had lost 40% of its army at Dunkirk and 80% of its equipment, and the French government surrendered on 21 June 1940.

Slang is a type of language used by a particular group of people - e.g. teenagers - or by people in a particular occupation - e.g. members of the army. It can act as a kind of code: using slang creates a sense of identity or belonging among members of the group and effectively excludes outsiders. It's better to avoid using this sort of language in general contexts as people outside the group in question may not understand it, or may well interpret it wrongly.
Slang terms are often very short-lived: most of them will never become well established. But some do pass into standard English in time. Here are some examples of words that started life as slang but are now part of everyday language.

The Bruce Forsyth Story: part 3 – I'm still in charge!
AUTHOR: Bruce Forsyth
18 August 2017 tbs.pm/10883
From the TVTimes for week commencing 3 January 1960
Since I became compere of Sunday Night at the London Palladium some of my wildest dreams have been realised. I am told that I have become a National Figure. Certainly my fan mail has never looked so healthy — or my bank manager so happy.
But one of the things that has most impressed me about television is the way you let something drop casually — and find it isn't a remark you've dropped so much as a brick. Or a catchphrase that sweeps the country.
I was lucky – was a catchphrase which is just as well since I'd rather compere the Palladium than sweep the country.
I never set out to originate anything in this line, but it looks as though I'm saddled with "I'm in charge!" and gags about drip-dry shirts for life.
The story of "I.I.C." goes back to a "Beat the Clock" game in November 1958. I explained to a young couple how to play a game involving plate throwing. They got in a terrible state — there were plates flying all over the place. If the whole thing had taken place years earlier I doubt if flying saucers would ever have caught on.
Anyway, I stopped the clock and said: "Look, throw them one at a time, alternatively, and you'll be all right."
I turned round to see how many seconds they had left and would you believe it, in a twink they were off again, slinging plates one at a time — one handful at a time! So I shouted: "Hold on, I'm in charge!"
I have never understood why it got such a big laugh. But there it was, a catchphrase was born. Only I didn't realise it. By the following week I had forgotten all about it. But others hadn't. The show had hardly finished before I was being asked "What's up, Bruce? Aren't you in charge any more?"
That's when I realised it might be a good gimmick. And how it has caught on.
I heard about a hole in the road in Birmingham, around which workmen had painted "I'm in charge!" in white paint. Then there was the factory where the workmen pinned a card on the back of their foreman's overalls announcing "He's in charge."
In an exclusive Manchester restaurant, I found the immaculately dressed manager wearing an apron on which he had written my catchphrase.
Autograph hunters demand I sign their books "Bruce Forsyth, I.I.C."
It grew so much, it became the title of touring stage show. One theatre advertised this simply as "Bruce Forsyth is ino charge."
What about that drip-dry shirt gag? It started off to fill in 20 seconds. I said: "Aren't these drip-dry shirts marvellous? No ironing. Just wash them and put them on. Do you know, this one is nearly dry now. Mind you, my shoes are full of water."
This is the car viewers sent me. We passed it on to help old folks
That started it — a cascade of comebacks from the customers. "It's your fault if your shoes are full of water. You should wear drainpipe trousers … Why don't you wear pumps? … Wear a leek in your buttonhole … You shouldn't do so much tap-dancing." I thought the gags would never stop.
And the gifts! In came a shoal of plastic buckets, clothes lines, packets of detergent, bundles of pegs. Children sent paper cut-out shirts. There was a never-ending supply of tiny drip-dry shirts with my initials. My dressing-room was packed with so many gifts that Father Christmas asked me for my union card!
I once received a haggis all dressed up in a paper kilt. When I showed it on the show, just like the nervous amateur, it went all to pieces. Literally!
Waiting for me at the Palladium next week was a tartan wheelbarrow with the message "This is a haggis carrier." Now this surprised me, for I have always thought a haggis carrier was a Scotsman with a full stomach.
Remember the time I casually mentioned that my car was not running so well? I was inundated by a fleet of toy cars of all shapes, materials and sizes. Somebody sent a handle. Another a tow rope. And a do-it-it-yourself tuning kit. To cap the lot, came a full-scale car which we showed on the programme in November and passed on to an old folks' welfare organisation.
As for my future, I hope I'll be able to stay with the Palladium show for a long time to come. But I have a number of other things lined up. On Boxing Day I started eight weeks of pantomime. In the spring I hope to appear in my first film.
Perhaps this is something of a gamble, but I believe I ought to branch out as much as possible. In show business, risking your neck is often the only way to get ahead.

One more item is that Bruce Forsythe 70th birthday was marked with a special Sunday Night At The London Palladium in 1998 which return end to the original format plus Beat The Clock. An attempt to revive the show as Tonight At The LP failed and I think the attempts to revive this show are daft and should be abandoned…in Bruce's name.

Q: left outer join question I have three tables than manage different social media accounts- facebook, twitter and linkedin. the following query will return facebook accounts fine but nothing else- what am i do doing wrong? each table is linked via a user_id field but every record has its own id fiel as well.
SELECT
  bla_facebook_accts.id as facebook,
  bla_linked_in_accts.id as linkedin,
  bla_twitter_accts.id as twitter
FROM
  bla_facebook_accts
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
    bla_linked_in_accts
    ON
      (bla_linked_in_accts.user_id = bla_facebook_accts.user_id)
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
    bla_twitter_accts
    ON
      (bla_linked_in_accts.user_id = bla_twitter_accts.user_id)
WHERE bla_facebook_accts.user_id = '12';

any ideas where im going wrong- i simply want it to return a row for if the user has an account on each  network- ie- record in each table

A: The problem with your query is that if the user has no facebook account then you will not get any information about this user. And if the user has no linkedin account then you will not get information about its twitter account. LEFT JOINS are not suitable for this purpose, but MySQL does not support FULL OUTER JOINS, so as a workaround you can do something like this:
select
    (select id from bla_facebook_accts where user_id = user.user_id) as facebook,
    (select id from bla_linked_in_accts where user_id = user.user_id) as linkedin,
    (select id from bla_twitter_accts where user_id = user.user_id) as twitter
from
    (select 12 user_id) user

A: I think you want to use INNER JOINs if you want to return a row that has a record in all tables.
SELECT
  f.id as facebook,
  l.id as linkedin,
  t.id as twitter
FROM
  bla_facebook_accts f
  INNER JOIN bla_linked_in_acctsn l ON f.user_id = l.user_id
  INNER JOIN bla_twitter_accts t ON f.user_id = t.user_id

A: Following the comment about no FB account:
(SELECT 'Facebook' as 'ac', id FROM bla_facebook_accts WHERE user_id=12)
UNION
(SELECT 'LinkedIn' as 'ac', id FROM bla_linked_in_accts WHERE user_id=12)
UNION
(SELECT 'Twitter' as 'ac', id FROM bla_twitter_accts WHERE user_id=12)

A: If you want to list all existing accounts for a given user, regardless of how many accounts that user have, LEFT JOIN (aka LEFT OUTER JOIN) is the correct way to go, but you must join on something you know will exist for all users. Therefore you should base your query on your user table, and join all the tables on the user_id in the user table.
Rename userTable to whatever your user table is called
SELECT
    facebook.id as facebook,
    linkedin.id as linkedin,
    twitter.id as twitter
FROM
    userTable
LEFT JOIN
    bla_facebook_accts facebook ON (userTable.user_id = facebook.user_id)
LEFT JOIN
    bla_linked_in_accts linkedin ON (userTable.user_id = linkedin.user_id)
LEFT JOIN
    bla_twitter_accts twitter ON (userTable.user_id = twitter.user_id)
WHERE
    userTable.user_id = 12

A: try:
Select t1.column, t2.column, t2.column from table left outer join (t1,t2,t3) on (t1.user_id = table.user_id AND t2.user_id = table.user_id AND t3.user_id = table.user_id)
etc

A: You'll never get an answer if you try to do the second join using the linkedin id if your user doesn't have a linkedin account but does have a facebook account. You need to alwaysjoin using your source account (facebook)
SELECT
  bla_facebook_accts.id as facebook,
  bla_linked_in_accts.id as linkedin,
  bla_twitter_accts.id as twitter
FROM
  bla_facebook_accts
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
    bla_linked_in_accts
    ON
      (bla_linked_in_accts.user_id = bla_facebook_accts.user_id)
  LEFT OUTER JOIN
    bla_twitter_accts
    ON
      (bla_linked_in_accts.user_id = bla_facebook_accts.user_id)
WHERE bla_facebook_accts.user_id = '12';

The Great Indian B School Debate on InsideIIM is back!
One of the biggest changes in this year's competition is that it is open to all business schools! We had limited the competition to only IIM ABCLIK,XLRI,FMS,MDI,JBIMS. There were a lot of inquiries and grouses on why we weren't allowing other schools to participate. So that issue has been put to rest now.
There are two stages to the competition. The campus round and the final round.
Each team needs to consist of two participants. The participants need to pick up two existing stories on InsideIIM which they do not agree with and each participant needs to write a counter to one story. Points will be given to both the participants and a team total would be done. You need to have an InsideIIM account to participate. Each participant needs to publish the story in his/her own name.
Test Case : There is an article titled 'Delay your MBA, for your own sake!'. Now you can refute this point of view with an entry of your own giving solid reasons why delaying your MBA may not be the best idea. Another example could be this article – "If you are interested in entrepreneurship, do it right away". Now you can refute this piece of advice too with a solid piece of your own using insight and data from the world around you.
Pick up any article from InsideIIM from any period. Browse the various categories on the red bar at the bottom on all pages or go through the panel on the left on all pages. You can also look at the Best of InsideIIM page to pick up a story to argue against.
As long as there are at least 5 entries from the business school, we will announce a campus winner who will participate in the finals. If there aren't 5 entries from your school, we will still consider you among the wild cards for the finals and you could still represent your school in the finals.
Campus winners will get a cash prize of INR 500 apart from a resume bullet point of having won on India's most credible management education portal which is visited by HRs of all top companies in India. Also, you stand a chance to win more by representing your school in the Finals.
Entries need to be at least 200 words and not more than 1500 words. You can use as many images and videos as you need. Please ensure you give sources of images used. You need to ensure that there are citations given in the form of a link whenever you use data or references from another source.
The competition is open now and you can open an account if you haven't already and start writing! The competition will close on 19th August 2014 at 23:59:59 hrs.
For your entry to be considered as part of the competition, you have to indicate that your post is formally an entry for the InsideIIM B school Debate (along with the name of your B school your team mate, and your team name, and the article you are refuting).
We will shortlist 20 teams from all the entries that we receive. This means that 20 Business schools will participate in the Finals of the competition. We will then come out with a draw and you will know which school has been pitted against another. The finals will be held between 20th August and 10th September 2014. There will be a Round of 20, Semi Finals and Finals. So a finalist would have gone through 4 rounds of debate in total.
The rules for each round in the finals will be unveiled closer to the date.
The finals will be judged by a Campus Relationship Manager/Top HR professional of a leading recruiter. We will announce that in due course.
How do we participate in it? Please mention the email address on which the article has to be sent. Thank you.
You can participate by writing an article using the self-publish option. Log on to InsideIIM and click http://www.insideiim.com/new-post and then write your story. It will come to us for approval and we will approve it immediately. In your article, you need to specify that your article is an entry for this debate competition, along with the details of your B school, and your team mate….
Thank you for the prompt response. There has to be two articles by a team; so both should be posted in the single post or two different posts?


We believe that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus provides us with the clearest picture of God that humans can receive (see John 1:1, 14). The person and work of Christ should rise above all other considerations in our formulation of the doctrine of God as well as our doctrine of salvation. Nothing is more important to us than the person and work of Christ.
We believe that the Bible is God's revelation of Himself to people. The entirety of the Bible (the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation) is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
We believe that Jesus is the only way for people to have a relationship with God. Jesus declared this Himself, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
Man is made in the spiritual image of God.
We were made for eternity, so we will exist forever in Heaven or Hell.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Furthermore, He lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice on a cross. He arose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. He will return to the earth again to reign as the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Salvation is God's gift to us. However, only those who receive Jesus as Lord and Savior receive this gift.
The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He empowers believers and provides spiritual understanding.

Today in history, a final battle for England
949 years ago today, there was a final battle for England. In a way, it was a three way battle for the country. The battle leading up to this one involved Harald Hardrada, King of Norway and Denmark at the time who felt he had a valid and rightful claim. Without Harald Hardrada's involvement, Harald Godwinsson King of England at the time might have actually been better prepared and able to win against William of Normandy at the battle of Hastings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Hardrada
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings
I am not going to go into a detailed discussion of the events but I do want to share a few books and such that I have read about the people involved in this history and these events.
Helen Hollick has two excellent books about the prior events leading up to the battle and the final outcome.
The Forever Queen: This book is a great depiction and detail of Emma of Normandy, whom little is known about but who is so important in history. It is the first of two books on Emma and her offspring, with the second book being, I am the Chosen King.
What kind of woman becomes the wife of two kings, and the mother of two more?
Saxon England, 1002. Not only is Æthelred a failure as King, but his young bride, Emma of Normandy, soon discovers he is even worse as a husband. When the Danish Vikings, led by Swein Forkbeard and his son, Cnut, cause a maelstrom of chaos, Emma, as Queen, must take control if the Kingdom-and her crown-are to be salvaged. Smarter than history remembers, and stronger than the foreign invaders who threaten England's shores, Emma risks everything on a gamble that could either fulfill her ambitions and dreams or destroy her completely.
Emma, the Queen of Saxon England, comes to life through the exquisite writing of Helen Hollick, who shows in this epic tale how one of the most compelling and vivid heroines in English history stood tall through a turbulent fifty-year reign of proud determination, tragic despair, and triumph over treachery.
I was quite impressed with all of this book. I appreciate that it was not so much a gushy over done, made up romance novel but more of a historical docu-drama of her life. Helen Hollick took the limited details surrounding this somewhat forgotten queen that we hear so little about and wove those details into an excellent story!
It is not a feel good, happily ever after love story by any means. If you are looking for that, you will be quite disappointed. What you will find is a story about the grim and gritty realities of a woman's life in those early medieval times. Just because a woman was of noble blood and ended up with a crown- more than one, it did not mean her life was any easier. In fact, in so many ways it was even more difficult.
Emma was married first to Æthelred who failed as both a King and a husband, but Emma did do her duty in providing him with not one, but two legitimate heirs. That should have given her some security in those times but unfortunately luck was not with her… or maybe it was? The kingdom is overtaken by Cnut who claims her along with the kingdom. She finally finds love with him only to have him die leaving the kingdom in another battle of who should rule.
The story of her life was well documented in this book with more than enough factual information woven into the story to give what I felt it was an excellent representation of the constant hurdles she endured throughout her life that colored and shaped how she viewed her role and her destiny as well as that of her sons.
In this beautifully crafted tale, Harold Godwinesson, the last Saxon King of England, is a respected, quick-witted man both vulnerable and strong, honorable and loving-and yet, in the end, only human. After the political turmoil and battles leading up to 1066, we all know William the Conquerer takes England. But Helen Hollick will have readers at the edge of their seats, hoping that just this once, for Harold, the story will have a different ending.
I was just as impressed with it as I was with the first book! What is interesting for me now is the comparison between this work and the information I previously read in Carol McGrath's books about the same people. Where as Carol's books deal more with Edith's and her daughter's lives and their possible perspectives of the time and events, this work goes into more depth concerning all of the key figures of the time. By reading all of them, I think you could gain a better insight and picture of what was happening and how those involved might have come to the choices they made.
http://www.helenhollick.net/index.html
Carol Mcgrath has a series about the women involved in these events. The Handfasted wife and the Swan daughter by Carol McGrath.
These two books are about history during the time of William the Conqueror. They are well written historical biography types more than romances.
The first one, Handfasted wife tells the story of the Norman Conquest from the perspective of Edith (Elditha) Swanneck, Harold's common-law wife. She is set aside for a political marriage when Harold becomes king in 1066. Determined to protect her children's destinies and control her economic future, she is taken to William's camp when her estate is sacked on the eve of the Battle of Hastings. She later identifies Harold's body on the battlefield and her youngest son becomes a Norman hostage. Elditha avoids an arranged marriage with a Breton knight by which her son might or might not be given into his care. She makes her own choice and sets out through strife-torn England to seek help from her sons in Dublin. However, events again overtake her. Harold's mother, Gytha, holds up in her city of Exeter with other aristocratic women, including Elditha's eldest daughter. The girl is at risk, drawing Elditha back to Exeter and resistance. Initially supported by Exeter's burghers the women withstand William's siege. However, after three horrific weeks they negotiate exile and the removal of their treasure. Elditha takes sanctuary in a convent where eventually she is reunited with her hostage son. This is an adventure story of love, loss, survival and reconciliation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Godwinson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_the_Fair
The second book is about Edith and Harold's daughter, Gunnhild. The Swan Daughter is a true 11th C tale of elopement and a love triangle by best-selling author of The Handfasted Wife, Carol McGrath. A marriage made in Heaven or Hell. It is 1075 and Dowager Queen Edith has died. Gunnhild longs to leave Wilton Abbey but is her suitor Breton knight Count Alan of Richmond interested in her inheritance as the daughter of King Harold and Edith Swan-Neck or does he love her for herself? And is her own love for Count Alain an enduring love or has she made a mistake?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Rufus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunhild_of_Wessex
Carol has recently published a third book in the series- I have it on my list to read!
The Betrothed Sister
(Book three in The Daughters of Hastings Trilogy)
xile, Danger and Revenge
1068 and exile for the royal women of Exeter. Thea is betrothed to Prince Vladimir of Kiev. She carries revenge in her heart for the Normans who killed her father and the Rus court is threatened from within and without. Can Thea find peace in her heart and understanding from her prince?
http://www.carolcmcgrath.co.uk/books.html
Finally, a third author gives her version of the events and the people. Patricia Bracewell has two books available so far of a planned trilogy. She gives a slightly different perspective but the stories are just as compelling as Helen's or Carol's versions!
England, A.D. 1002
In a world lit by fire and ruled by the sword, a fifteen-year-old girl kneels to receive an English crown – an act that will echo down the ages. Within that circlet of gold the ambitions of four powerful men are about to collide, for this young queen is the key to all that they desire. To a calculating Norman duke she is a blood tie to the wealthiest monarchy in Europe. To a haunted English king she is a guarantee of allies against a fierce and brutal enemy. To Denmark's Viking ruler she is a prize worth ten times her weight in silver. To a young ætheling of England she is a temptation to forbidden passion. Her name is Emma…and she will change the course of history.
England is under siege. Famine and death stalk the land, ambitious royal sons chafe against a father's implacable rule, and across the Danish Sea a fierce enemy is poised to strike. A desperate, feckless king sits upon England's throne, railing against a pitiless God and fearing Almighty vengeance for an ancient sin. His young queen, Emma, fears for the life of her infant son, for she has wed into a royal line that does not balk at murder to win a crown. Determined to protect her child from any who would harm him, the queen forges alliances with men of power, unaware that in a far corner of the kingdom there is treachery afoot. When England is ravaged by wave after wave of Viking armies, when loyalties are strained to the breaking point and no one is safe from the sword, the queen faces a final, terrible dilemma, and at stake is the one thing that she holds most dear.
In these first two books of the series, Patricia has done an amazing job of sweeping us into Emma's world. She has given us a view of that world with it's desperation, conspiracies and treacheries from a young girl's perspective as she tries to weave her way through all the traps, snares and entanglements that become her life. I am looking forward to book 3 to read Patricia's version of the outcome for Emma and the others who make up her world.
http://www.patriciabracewell.com/
None of these books should be labeled or put into a Historical Romance genre or category. All three of these authors have put an enormous amount of time, effort and research into telling these stories from a historical point of view and reference. What they have done is well beyond any simple story of romance. They have all taken the people involved in these historical events and breathed life into them. They have all approached it from different perspectives and made these people come alive, made you care about them and better understand the situations that they were placed in during this time of chaos and turbulence. They deserve much credit, praise and appreciation for telling this story and these events in a way that we might not always think to look at it!

Martin Dodge
For Martin Dodge, nature has always been a haven. Growing up in Connecticut, Dodge said, "I gravitated to the woods as often as I could. There was steep gorge nearby with a perennial stream and big trees. I would build forts and treehouses and just escape into the wilderness." Dodge's love of nature continued when he attended Colby College in Maine, where he founded and coached the school's woodsmen team as he majored in chemistry. "Had it not been for the joy and outlet that I had with the woodsmen team I doubt I could have overcome the academic challenges of my chemistry major," he remarked.
Following graduation, Dodge spent two years teaching junior high science. "Teaching is something I was born to do," he said. "I'd found my calling." But duty also called in the form of a draft notice. Dodge spent 3½ years in the Coast Guard stationed in Alaska during the Vietnam War. "Even during that difficult time, the surroundings were unbelievably inspiring and beautiful."
After his service, Dodge received his graduate degree in forest recreation and returned to the classroom, this time at the college level. "I taught at Finger Lakes Community College for 39 marvelous years before I retired," Dodge noted. "I so enjoyed leading 14 month-long expeditions to Alaska to immerse the students in the biological and spiritual significance of wilderness. And I still volunteer as a coach for the woodsmen teams at Finger Lakes. They are the most successful collegiate team in the country."
Dodge has passed on his love of the wilderness to countless students as well as his two daughters. "Now I'm working to ensure that my three young grandsons will also gain a deeper appreciation of nature," Dodge said. Because of his passion for conservation and wildlife education, Dodge decided to support The Wilderness Society through a gift in his will.
"If you want to promote wilderness values and preserve wild places, it's necessary to join with the organizations that are fundamentally in a position to make a difference," Dodge explained. "The existence of wilderness is so significant to the soul and spirit of humanity. Thoreau said 'In Wild is the preservation of the Earth.' That's why, when I recently updated my will, I decided to include a bequest to The Wilderness Society."

cannot be changed or cancelled
tax on gifts generally paid by the person making the gift rather than the recipient

the part of an estate left after debts, taxes and specific bequests have been paid
a written and properly witnessed legal change to a will
the person named in a will to manage the estate, collect the property, pay any debt, and distribute property according to the will
A donor advised fund is an account that you set up but which is managed by a nonprofit organization. You contribute to the account, which grows tax-free. You can recommend how much (and how often) you want to distribute money from that fund to The Wilderness Society or other charities. You cannot direct the gifts.
An endowed gift can create a new endowment or add to an existing endowment. The principal of the endowment is invested and a portion of the principal's earnings are used each year to support our mission.
Tax on the growth in value of an asset—such as real estate or stock—since its original purchase.
Securities, real estate or any other property having a fair market value greater than its original purchase price.
Real estate can be a personal residence, vacation home, farm, commercial property or undeveloped land.
A charitable remainder trust provides you or other named individuals income each year for life or a period not exceeding 20 years from assets you give to the trust you create.
You give assets to a trust that pays our organization set payments for a number of years, which you choose. The longer the length of time, the better the potential tax savings to you. When the term is up, the remaining trust assets go to you, your family or other beneficiaries you select. This is an excellent way to transfer property to family members at a minimal cost.
You fund this type of trust with cash or appreciated assets—and may qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize. You can also make additional gifts; each one also qualifies for a tax deduction. The trust pays you, each year, a variable amount based on a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust assets. When the trust terminates, the remaining principal goes to The Wilderness Society as a lump sum.

Each year the trust pays you or another named individual the same dollar amount you choose at the start. When the trust terminates, the remaining principal goes to The Wilderness Society as a lump sum.
A beneficiary designation clearly identifies how specific assets will be distributed after your death.
A charitable gift annuity involves a simple contract between you and The Wilderness Society where you agree to make a gift to The Wilderness Society and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life.


So glad you liked this one as well as you did, Margaret! I agree with you about the wit. And it's a very clever plot, too, which really appeals. I enjoyed Edwards' introduction, as well.
It really is so clever isn't it – and I thought the ending is just perfect!
I've put your post in my "book ideas" folder. It sounds great! Thanks.
I hope you'll enjoy it too if you do read it!
I read this last year and loved it – it even ended up on my best books of the year list! I'm looking forward to reading more of Richard Hull's books too.
This is now on my list of 'must reads'. Thanks, Margaret!
I just bought Excellent Intentions in Edinburgh today so I now have high hopes of it.

HSC4: Application of Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation to Magnetism
Grenoble, 7 to 11 May 2007
Since the 1940s, neutron scattering has been an essential tool for the investigation of magnetic structures and dynamics. More recently, the intensity and flexibility of synchrotron radiation has been exploited for application to research in magnetism. Developments in instrumentation and techniques mean that the two forms of radiation can be used to give complementary information with never before seen detail.
The week-long course will be divided in to three parts:
The first part, which occupies the first two days, will consist of lectures covering the basics of neutron and synchrotron experimental techniques, with their application to magnetism. There will also be two tutorials, giving participants the opportunity to learn how to analyse neutron powder diffraction and x-ray dichroism data. The tutorials will lead in to the second part of the course, which consists of...
.... experimental training on instruments at the ILL and the ESRF. Four praticals on different instruments will be offered over a two day period, with in-house scientists supervising the experiments.
The final day will focus on the complementarity of neutron and sychrotron experiments. Leading scientists will show how these experiments have advanced studies in current topics of magnetism.

In Georgia, there are high rates of instability in foster care, and each time a child changes placement, his or her support networks are gone until he or she can rebuild them. The purpose of this case study was to explore if current stakeholders provide effective support and assistance to professionals and others who assist foster students with their educational needs. This case study used a conceptual framework based on Rankism, in which students move up and down the rungs of the ladder of their social system. Data were collected via interviews with a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) worker, a Department Division of Family and Child Services (DFCS) caseworker, a former foster parent, a teacher, a school social worker, a school administrator, and a school counselor, all of whom were involved with foster children. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and then open coded using constant comparative analysis. Findings revealed a need for greater support, and illuminated the repercussions that may occur when students are moved from their homes and/or schools: They may lose their support networks, community supports, school supports, and recognition they had previously until these are rebuilt in their new placement. The major themes that emerged were (a) a need for data sharing, (b) effect of trauma on children, and (c) the need for improved educational advocacy. These findings, along with a review of the literature, led to the development of a policy change recommendation and the creation of a data system to enable collaboration amongst all agencies. The project that emerged was the creation of a data system that affords real-time transfer of educational records, allowing for appropriate educational plans to be put in place.


With the recent highly publicized auctions at Christie's and Sotheby's, an influx of works selling for astronomical prices have grabbed the media and shocked the world. This sort of singular attention paid to the high price sales propagates the widespread belief that art is reserved for the wealthy. However, with the rise of various online galleries the possibility of owning high quality original art is democratized, rendering this notion false.
Time recently published an online guide entitled "How to Buy Art if You're Not Filthy Rich," in which they break down just that – in five simple steps. Top industry experts in online art selling offer their insight, stressing the importance of asking the right questions and doing research. Our own Chief Curator and VP of Art Advisory Rebecca Wilson offers key questions in evaluating an artist, such as "Have they done solo shows, do they have work in a gallery, what are their sales?" Ultimately, the most important component is loving what you buy.
Check out the article to see all of the tips.
Plans announced for the future of Picasso's Escola d'Arts i Oficis de Barcelona did not sit well with the trade unions and local residents this week. The space is planned to be turned into a Woody Allen museum, immortalizing the American director's work and attracting more tourists. Allen shot his critically acclaimed Vicky Christina Barcelona in 2008, providing good publicity for the city.
This week marks the birth of a considerable number of noted artists, among them are Helen Frankenthaler, Edvard Munch, Lucian Freud, Bernini, Diego Riviera, and more. Spanning a few centuries and art movements, each artist brings a unique achievement to celebrate.
Never miss an artist's birthday – follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Our Director of Art Advisory to the Trade Hayley Miner chatted with designer Vanessa Alexander about how art plays into her everyday life and design. Influenced by a childhood spent travelling the globe and her mother's own passion for collecting art, Vanessa has developed a strong aesthetic and a true sense of what inspires her.
I like to find a balance to their choices so that there's a flow to the collection (be it big or small) as you experience the house and to some extent marry the vibe of the room or the activity of the space with something in the works itself.
Check out our Q&A with Vanessa to learn more.
Pantone announced its annual color of the year, for the first time selecting two colors – a pale and tranquil blue "Serenity" and the calming and dusty "Rose Quartz." The inclusion of both colors was a purposeful nod toward an increasing awareness and breakdown of gender binaries.
The colors are not only meaningful, but provide a beautiful effect in art. Our curators have put together a selection of works in these hues, which you can see here.
This week we found ourselves charmed by the surreally wonderful murals of artist Fintan Magee. Born in Lismore, New South Whales, the artist began practicing graffiti art at a young age in Brisbane in a more traditional way before experimenting with guerilla murals.
His large figurative subjects explore themes of contemporary living – loss, consumption, dreams, etc. The above mural, located in Dunedin, New Zealand, features a dreamlike scene of three figures collecting clouds, blending into the surrounding sky.
Head to Boooooooom to see more of his work.
Following our earlier coverage of the quarrel between Chinese artist Ai WeiWei and The Lego Group over a bulk order the artist placed, the project has seen completion. After the company denied his request, claiming to not support their use for political works, people from all over rallied in support by sending their old or unused Legos for WeiWei to complete his project with.
This week saw the unveiling of his finished Lego Room, part of an exhibition entitled "Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei," packing over two million Lego blocks into one room. The parts were assembled by volunteers and come together in various components that celebrate Australian dissidents, most recognized of which is WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Artnet reports.


The Spring 2009 newsletter has unfortunately been printed with Cliff Wilkin's old address. The photo of form 5B in 1939 has been loaded into the photo gallery.
The Summer 2009 edition includes a "Chairman's Report" from Frank Wallder which talks of the move to having the school operate as two separate campuses rather than a Lower school and an Upper school. Unfortunately the detail isn't correct as the plan is to have six form entry on each site, giving a total of twelve. This increase (from nine) will provide one third of the extra nine forms of entry to secondary schools that Enfield Council anticipates will be required by 2015.
The Autumn 2009 newsletter includes a discussion of the first name of R. L. Hudson. A check through the BMD records reveal his name was Robert Lindsay Hudson, born on 3rd July 1917, and in an article somewhere a contemporary on the staff refers to him as 'Robby' or 'Robbie'.
I can't be more specific than 'somewhere' because I can't remember where I saw it. I can't find it in the newsletter archive.
R. L. Hudson joined the staff of Harrow County School for Boys in 1950 as Senior Science Master and can be spotted in a whole school photograph in 1953. The reminiscences of a former pupil are worth a read for their mention of the nickname 'rubber bung' and kipper sandwiches.

Russia Telegram ban
Le VPN Blog
Update on April 20, 2018 – 7 pm GMT.
It looks like Le VPN website was banned in Russia on April 20, 2018 for participating in the Digital Resistance movement launched by Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov, and standing for digital freedoms and progress globally. We are working on a new solution for our Russian subscribers and officially extending our MoneyBack guarantee for an additional 7-day period for all our users in Russia to compensate for all potential disturbances in the service. Our technical support team in Russian is available on a Telegram channel @levpnru and all the recent updates on the status of our service in Russia are on the Telegram channel @levpnews (in Russian).
Vive la Résistance!!
While the last couple of years have been quite hard for those who enjoy freedoms, especially those of speech, media and communication, for those of us who are enamored with 20th century spy thrillers; it is starting to look like a golden age, with the Russia vs. Telegram controversy being just the latest juicy story about David and Goliath.
In all actuality, it is not as much David against Goliath as is Goliath beating the ground to kill the dirt, only rising it in the process. Currently, by all metrics, Telegram will not only suffer no impact from what the Russian authorities are doing, but will also probably end up with more users as they are standing up to the government and keeping up with their promise that they will not let the Russian government have access to private users messages with an encryption key.
As Telegram, and its founder and CEO Pavel Durov, have acted on time asking for assistance from virtual private network (VPN) providers and hosting services based outside of Russia, it is now more than easy to connect to the service using a major VPN provider like Le VPN, which has joined the call of the Digital Resistance Movement that has been proposed by Durov. Although the Russians have blocked more than 20 million IP addresses by now, it is not evident that Telegram will be even slightly damaged in the process.
While this is more of a question about principles that about business, many businesses in Russia are suffering, and it is just a question of time for how long the Russian FSB will keep on with the idea that you are ever able to obtain something on the Internet by brute force.
The Rise of Telegram
Telegram, a relatively simple Peer-to-Peer (P2P), cloud-based instant messaging app, with an end to end encryption, available on almost all devices and fairly similar to its competitors like WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, or Facebook Messenger, with two major differences: First, Telegram is not owned by a major corporation and second, once prompted by governments to provide customer data, they refused.
The application gained its acclaim in 2014, when WhatsApp went down for about four hours and has gained a top seller spot in a couple of dozen countries, including the US, where it was a number one selling app. And after that, every time the company stood their ground and affirmed their position about the sanctity of privacy, their customer base grew. As of March 2018, the number of active users of Telegram has surpassed 200 million users.
While Telegram shares its market position as an encrypted messaging app, with the current problems with Facebook, and by that extent also WhatsApp, and their dubious dealings with private data, the App is gaining more and more recognition and support all over the world.
FSB Requesting Information
Governments, and especially security agencies, requesting specific information from tech companies is nothing new, but what the Russia Federal Security Service FSB (Федеральная Служба Безопасности) requested from Telegram is for access to their security encryption key, as to make it possible for the Kremlin based intelligence agency to access any private messages sent over the service, with no court order required.
Obviously, Telegram Messenger denied this request and thus entered a legal dispute in front of the Russian court. As most court cases with the Russian authorities go, Telegram lost but has preemptively moved to servers based in the US, mostly connected to Google and Amazon, still denying the encryption key to the Federal Security Service.
Russia Banning Amazon IPs to implement the Telegram ban
Currently, Russian authorities are not taking this laying down and the FSB has sent both Amazon and Google a request to ban the app from their servers, which has been rejected by the tech giants.
Although the Russia Telegram ban has had a little effect on the app itself, in the process of blocking all the IP addresses that are using the messaging system, Russia has blocked more than 20 million IP addresses from all over the world.
The Russian court has ruled that all access to the app in the country must be blocked, and, as the Russian News agency Tass reports, this rule is supported by Russia's new anti-terrorism law, which gives wide jurisdiction to the FSB.
The conclusion of Pavel Durov that the Russian administration is incompatible with internet business may just be correct, as the ban has mostly affected other online businesses and retailers in Russia, with the assessment that around a third of Russian businesses use Amazon as their primary hosting service.
How to circumvent the Telegram ban?
As virtual private networks and other tech companies have joined Telegram, most problems have been dealt with on time. Le VPN is one of the VPN providers included in the Digital Resistance Movement under their own slogan "Vive la Résistance!" and it is very easy to use their VPN app on any device to connect to a server in a country more sensible than Russia, and then you can use the Telegram Messenger as you would normally. With servers in more than 120+ countries, the only way to prevent Le VPN from providing you with free access is to basically shut down the internet.
In the monetary segment, Telegram has also secured their future, and the future of their users not only in Russia but globally. The app has been used by multiple cryptocurrency developers for their initial coin offerings (ICO) who are now repaying the service by spending that currency to fund the movement. The owner and CEO have also donated millions of dollars' worth of BitCoin of his own funds to promote this agenda.
The Digital Resistance Movement
The Digital Resistance Movement is a loose confederation of tech companies, individuals and organizations aimed to bring internet freedom and free communication all over the world, currently focusing on Russia.
His idea to create a semi-underground network of VPN providers and individuals all financed by cryptocurrency has fallen on fertile ground with companies like Le VPN, which has been promoting internet freedom since its conception.
Finally, while it is obvious that the Russia Telegram ban will only benefit the app, and will only slightly damage Russia's retailers and the reputation of the administration, it is more than possible that the movement resulting from this ban will be a driving force in the future struggle for internet freedoms around the world.
