How To Fill The Time In Between
The First Sunday of Christmas is what I call the in-between time. It sits between the great festivals of Christmas and Epiphany and doesn't seem able to muster up its own special liturgy after all the awe and wonder of the Saviour's birth and the star lit revelations of the Wise Men. We also leap from cradle to the teenage years and then back to a toddler in the space of two weeks marking three of the four biblical appearances of Jesus as a child, which still leaves us with a lot of questions. Who, where, why and how? But as with all questions, if we ask the right ones we should get the right answers and learn something.
Based on Colossians 3:12-17 and Luke 2:41-52
I suspect that we all have stories of our childhood, some which show us in lots of different lights – the early achiever 'Yes, she was walking and talking before her first birthday'; the dexterous enabler, 'Oh he could put together all of the Star Wars' Lego models by the age of two!'; the future celebrity, 'I think she came out of the womb singing and dancing, we LOVE all the 'shows' she creates for us to watch'; but also the innate rascals, 'every tree, every wall, every supermarket aisle shelf would need to be climbed – I think he's going to be a mountaineer.'
Of course, we don't always remember the things that we did from a very early age but have to rely on stories that are passed down to us and which become part of our family's history. No doubt for Jesus, there were also stories from his childhood, that his parents, aunts, uncles and cousins would remind him of as he grew up, but we don't get to hear about these, despite his later 'fame'. Nothing comes out of the woodwork to show us the times when he wasn't so obedient or got into scrapes with other children or indeed did anything out of the ordinary.
We have to be content with four brief episodes to tell us something about the child that grew into the man who was God, his extraordinary birth, his presentation in the temple, that he had some special visitors when he was a toddler, and that by the age of twelve he was displaying wisdom and knowledge beyond his years, astonishing his elders whilst at the same time being utterly respectful and freely submitting to his parent's authority.
Yes, we could look for other remarkable stories of the child and youth Jesus, offering healing and miracles, that were recorded in the Infancy Gospels of Thomas and others, but these were gnostic texts, written some two centuries after his birth and we have no way of knowing whether any of 'these' stories are true and reliable and they were certainly not accepted into the canon of the bible
In our gospel today, the gap between the twelve year old on the cusp of becoming a nominal adult through his bar mitzvah and the man Jesus beginning his ministry following his baptism, is covered in one brief sentence, that he grew 'in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favour'
Perhaps this is all God determined that we needed to know, but it's obvious that these were the years in which he would have been able to experience humanity to its fullest extent before living the last three years of his life in a fishbowl. If we recall the verse that Luke give us immediately beforehand (v40), 'the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favour of God was upon him,' it indicates a normal childhood and early adulthood. We can imagine Jesus learning his trade as a carpenter from Joseph, his adoptive father; being a pleasant and hardworking individual, inquisitive and innately knowledgeable beyond his years, which amazed some who saw him as an uneducated handy man; growing physically, spiritually and mentally under the cover of God's grace.
As devout Jews, his parents would each year travel to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover, they would have travelled together with a large group of family and friends, and at twelve, Jesus would not have been expected to stay with them. So, the fact that they would not have noticed he wasn't among the returning celebrants, would not have been negligence on their parts, and with men and women generally travelling in separate groups, it wouldn't have been until the end of the day, when they came together that they might notice that he was missing. You can imagine the conversation of Mary asking Joseph, 'Have you seen Jesus since this morning?' and Joseph replying, 'No, I thought he was with you'.
No doubt they were worried and spent the next few hours increasingly frantic, asking all their friends and relatives whether they'd seen him, before setting off back to Jerusalem, and finally the relief of finding him after a three day search, calming sitting among the teachers, asking questions, not quite oblivious to the apparent distress he has caused them, as indicated by their understandable reaction, 'Why have you put us through this anguish' but reassurance that why would they think he would be anywhere else but in his Father's house, not Joseph's house, but God's house.
'Why were you searching for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?'
For Mary and Joseph, there was still no full understanding of who Jesus was and what his work would entail, but Mary would once more reflect carefully on these events and would add them to her treasured memories of Jesus' life. So, we hear that Jesus, returned with his family and as far as we know caused them no further upset, accepting their authority of parenthood, and at the same time growing and maturing into perfect manhood.
Now I don't know about you, but I did not have a perfect childhood, mainly because I was not the perfect child! I can remember that I was not always obedient to my parents and would often find myself in trouble. However, I do know that I was loved, and any discipline metered out was undoubtedly for my own good. But that's another story!
Let's, therefore, get back to this morning's story. We know that Jesus' calling was to follow the will of God, so for him to spend time in the temple, the centre of Jewish worship, was an opportunity to discuss theology with experts, develop his own understanding and challenge people on their concepts of God. He was able to do this because of the personal relationship that he had with God
We too are called to develop a personal relationship with God in order for us to better understand his will for our lives. However, for many people the sense of being drawn closer into the story through the events leading up to and celebrated at Christmas is already dissipating. 'Phew, I'm glad that's over and done with, let's pack the baby Jesus away with the rest of the nativity set and get back to some kind of normality'. Of course, they don't really mean it like that, what they do mean is they're glad the frantic shopping has ended, no more stressing about whether the presents you bought are appreciated and family member and other guests are finally heading home… and even though you love them and have been glad to spend time with them, there is the relief of getting back to your regular routine.
Relationships can be pretty tricky; there was an article I read the other day that asked people if they had argued more over the Christmas period and what had they argued about? Most people said, 'Yes' they had had a row and that it was about petty things like the tree decorations, how the turkey was cooked and what they wanted to watch on television. An expert commented that this was perfectly understandable as when people in families are thrown together for a time, tensions can be unearthed and expectations can be different.
Just like Jesus' parents were stressed, there was probably some tension between Jesus' true identity, what his mission is and his relationship with his parents. I am sure that they didn't expect to find him discussing theology in the temple, otherwise they'd have gone straight there and not spent three days searching.
But Jesus was setting the foundations for a new understanding of family. One that would be built on a relationship with God the father though his son, Jesus and which would be founded on love, forgiveness, peace and thanksgiving. A family not sharing a bloodline or DNA but linked together through the Holy Spirit.
Our reading from Colossians sets this out in more details. It's a reading that a lot of wedding couples choose for their reading as they too set out on a new relationship. It starts by reminding us that we are all part of God's family, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved. Many people feel unloved and some are damaged psychologically. Yet no-one is unloved. God loves each and every person so much he sent his son Jesus to die in their place on the cross.
It is a wonderful, unconditional, free love and we are called to live lives that reflect this. To clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. To bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances we may have against one another.
Above all, clothe yourselves with love,
which binds everything together in perfect harmony
Showing compassion that comes from within, concerned about meeting people's most basic needs; kindness that is gracious and humble; a gentleness that is not weakness, but a willingness to suffer injury rather than inflict it and patience that forgoes anger and resentment and does not seek revenge.
Of course, we all have our own faults, but God has forgiven us and so, who are we, who have been forgiven, to withhold forgiveness from someone else? This is based on God's choice and love for us and is completely undeserved and helps put into perspective any problems that really are no more serious than a Christmas tree or a turkey!
That doesn't mean that we shouldn't attempt to correct any conduct that is not part of God's will, we are Christ's ambassadors, we bear his name and we should reflect his kingdom values in everything that we do.
Many people came to church this year, and we hope that they would have felt loved, welcomed and accepted. But let's not be complacent, instead let's make sure that we continue to reach out to show even more compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. In that way we will all grow in wisdom and in both human and divine favour

It's Called Christmas For A Reason – The Wise Men's Story
The Wise Men Came Travelling
Originally written for a Messy Church service storytelling slot to celebrate Epiphany
I want to tell you the story of three men who decided to leave their comfortable homes and travel a very long distance in search of…..well at the beginning they weren't entirely sure what or who it was they were searching for? They just knew that it was so important that they set out on a new adventure.
Some people called them wise men…but I'm not so sure they were very wise to consider going on such a journey …at least not at the start. Others call them kings… In fact only one of them was a king and his name was Balthazar. He was a very kind king and looked after his wives and servants very well. His life was extremely comfortable, because he could afford to buy anything he wanted. The trouble was he had bought everything that he wanted and now he was bored!
He was also very intelligent and liked to try and find out everything about the world around him. He read loads of books and his favourite subject was history. However, he was not as clever as his best friend Melchior, who was indeed a wise man. Melchior, was also very rich and so he could spend all of his time studying the stars. That is he looked up at them at night and watched them as they moved across the sky, and during the day when the sun hid the stars he plotted their movements on his charts. Whenever Balthazar went to visit his friend he had to try and find him behind a mountain of papyrus rolls
Also living in the city was another man called Caspar, who was also a friend of the king. He was a man who thought a lot about the world – about how it was created; about who created it; about why it was created; about why he had been created! He had read all of the ancient scriptures of lots of different faiths and had come to the conclusion that there must have been a very powerful God who had done all of these things
One day Melchior, rushed into the palace when Caspar was visiting Balthazar. He was very excited and told them both to come and see what he had discovered. He spread out a large chart on the table in front of them and pointed to a small object that was separate from all of the other stars.
"I noticed it the other night…I'm sure it wasn't there the night before! Come and see it for yourselves.
They all went back to Melchior's house and waited…..and waited….and waited. Actually they had to wait for quite some time as it had been lunch time when Melchior had rushed to the palace and the sun needed to set before the stars would be visible…
Eventually though, when the night was very dark, they saw an incredible sight…. on the skyline a bright light was shining… it was brighter than all the other stars and seemed to twinkle and sparkle as if it was waiting for them to make a decision.
"I think I know what this means," said Caspar, "I read about a star appearing in the sky when God wants to send a message to the world"
Balthazar and Melchior wondered how a star was going to tell them a message. Stars can't talk after all. But they did notice that the way the star hovered over them it seemed to be saying 'Follow me' before it disappeared as the sun rose. Over the next few days they kept on seeing the star and each night it seemed to flicker more brightly and urgently.
Eventually they came to a decision. Caspar had reread one of the ancient books and declared that the stars appearance was because a very, very special person had been born…a prince or a king!
Melchior said that the star was moving very slowly westward, so perhaps that was where it had happened. Balthazar just thought it was the chance for a great adventure and began making plans for a journey…. and because he wasn't sure how long that journey was going to be he packed lots of things, including gifts for whoever they were going to meet…after all it's only polite to take a present when you go visiting.
The three men travelled for many months and days through the desert. They tended to sleep during the day when the sun was at its hottest and then set out again as the sun set and the stars began to appear; and every night the brightest star in the sky seemed to lead them onward into new lands, never stopping. Even when it was a cloudy night the light seems to glow through the clouds so that they could see where it was.
Then one day they were sleeping in their tents when some men entered their camp. They told Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar that they were King Herod's guards and that their master would like to welcome them to his country, so they were escorted to the palace of King Herod
Now King Herod wasn't a very nice king. He was greedy and cruel and extremely jealous of anyone who threatened his power. None of his own people were ever allowed to see him. Only the important people were allowed into his palace. So we've got to stay outside…
…However, Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar were allowed in. King Herod seemed very friendly to his three visitors. Apparently he asked them lots of questions about their journey, about how they had got there and where they were going. Melchior, who was very excited about how the star had led them on their journey, told Herod about his discovery and Caspar tried to explain that they were looking for a very important person, possibly a new king… Balthazar just felt uneasy.
After a while, despite all the splendour and luxury of the palace, the three men thought it would be wise to continue on their way. Especially as the star had moved on – and they had to spend three or four nights travelling very swiftly to catch up with it. King Herod had made them promise to let him know when they found the new king, so that he could come to welcome him. Balthazar thought that was one promise he really didn't want to keep, and had kept his fingers crossed behind his back when he said they would!
After a few more days they approached the town of Bethlehem. They were only expecting to top up their food supplies and allow their camels some rest, as the city was not very grand – there were no majestic palaces, or magnificent houses within its walls; only ordinary houses, in ordinary streets. Yet the star seems to be hovering right over the town, as if it had come to a stop.
As they made their way through the twisting and winding streets, they kept asking themselves was this the place? Surely not! Yet the star was right there in the sky above them and was shedding its light onto a particularly small, very plain looking house. The three men stood in front of the wooden door
"You knock," said Caspar
"No, you knock," replied Melchior
"Oh for goodness sake, I'll knock," sighed Balthazar, as he rapped very smartly on the door. At the sound of the knock, a woman's voice from within the house bid them to come in and so they entered the house.
At first it seemed very gloomy, then they made out a young woman sitting on a stool, with a child on her knee. Maybe it was the light from the star, or maybe it was the candle but the room seemed to glow with light and all three men fell down on their knees as they felt the presence of someone very special. It may not have been a palace, there may not have been hundreds of servants or furniture of gold and silver, but there was definitely someone royal there – a future king.
Balthazar then remembered the presents that they had brought and he laid down his gift of gold – certainly fit for a king! Melchior had some frankincense, which would be useful if he turned out to be a great priest and teacher. When Caspar hesitantly laid his gift of myrrh in front of the cradle the others were a bit confused. Surely myrrh was used when people had died.
"He may need it later on," explained Caspar
Mary, the child's mother, just smiled and thanked them for their gifts.
"His name's Jesus, and Joseph, my husband and I, are very grateful. He is truly a gift from God."
The three men bowed again and each thought that they would remember this journey and this night and this child for a very long time. As they left they knew that were all leaving wiser than when they had arrived.
Oh, and by the way – they never did tell King Herod where they had found the child. Which was just a well, as Herod did turn out to be a very, very nasty man!
Wise Men Came Travelling
The visit of the Wise Men or Magi to the Holy Family is celebrated in the Church of England as Epiphany on Twelfth Night (6th January). An epiphany is a moment of sudden and great revelation, which the wise men experienced on seeing the Christ child. Despite their names not being recorded, some traditions believe they may all have been Eastern kings – and of the three Balthazar is an alternate form of the Babylonian king Belshazzar, mentioned in the Book of Daniel.
As to whether there were only three of them, this may be an assumption from the fact that there were just three gifts mentioned in Matthew's Gospel (Chapter 2:1-12); in the East, the Magi traditionally number twelve,
However many there were, they certainly didn't arrive on the night of Jesus' birth, as the family had relocated from a stable to a house (Matthew 2:11). It would also seem that only Mary was there at the time of the visit to her child, who was likely to have been several months old but no more than two years old (Matthew 2:16)
And the star that they followed? Now known as the Star of Bethlehem or the Christmas star, and which astronomers throughout the ages have attempted to link to unusual astronomical events, such as a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, a comet or a supernova. Whatever it was it led them to the correct place.
May Christ's love be revealed in and through you this Christmastide!

I had heard many legendary stories of the infamous Full Moon Party, and I was NOT going to miss it when I made plans to travel to Thailand! The massive party takes place on a stretch of beach on Koh Pha Ngan (Koh Phangan) island in Thailand. Each month, on the night of the full moon, thousands of people come from all over the world to partake in the festivities and dance all night long.
Here's what to expect at The Full Moon Party in Thailand!
My friend Lindsay and I took a morning ferry from Koh Samui to Koh Pha Ngan to partake in some pre-Full Moon Party festivities. We ended up meeting some awesome Italian guys on the ferry and made plans to meet up for the party that evening.
I had also made some awesome new friends Sevi (from Germany) and Katy (from the UK), that I met while snorkeling in Koh Phi Phi, who were also in Koh Pha Ngan for the party. So, we all met up in Thang Sala to spend the day on the beach preparing for the party.
That's the beauty of traveling in Thailand. You meet SO many other travelers!
Depending on where you're coming from, the two closest islands to Kho Pha Ngan are Koh Samui and Koh Tao. There are inexpensive ferries running daily between all the islands.
The actual beach party is located on Haad Rin beach on Koh Pha Ngan island.
From Bangkok: The fastest way to Koh Pha Ngan is to take a short flight to Koh Samui and catch a ferry to the island. There are also budget-friendly overnight bus & boat options you can purchase from travel agents in Bangkok.
Accommodation typically books up solid on Koh Pha Ngan the week before and after the Full Moon Party. Book in advance to make sure you have somewhere to stay. Or, do what I did, and leave your bags at a friend's hotel and stay out all night.
After experiencing it, I would personally recommend finding accommodation on another island, catching a ferry to Koh Pha Ngan, partying all night, and catching a ferry back the next day.
We changed into our traditional, neon, Full Moon Party attire complete with fanny packs, enjoyed a couple of pre-moon drinks, and made our way to Haad Rin where the famous beach party takes place!
Once in Haad Rin, we got the fun started! We began the artistic ritual of covering ourselves in neon paint. I went for a mysterious mustache and some beautifully painted vines down my arm.
No need to pack anything special for the party! You can get all your FMP swag from street vendors for about USD $10-15.
Once we were covered in paint, we made our way to the beach to get amongst the "wild & crazy." Lindsay and I happened to run into the Italian guys from the ferry as soon as we got to the beach, so we all stuck together for the party experience of a lifetime.
The beach was packed with people from all over the world, fire dancers, drink bucket stands, dance stages, DJ's…you name it!
All along the beach, there are vendor stands selling these little plastic buckets (the kind kids normally build sand castles with) made into giant cocktails with about five straws in them to share! They're about 350 baht, or around USD $11 each.
Do not attempt one of these alone…it's a teamwork sort of drink!
Helpful Tip: Plan on wearing sneakers, so you aren't barefoot on the beach. While there isn't really any glass being served, you still want to be careful not to step on anything that would hurt you.
In addition to all the festivities, there were giant jump ropes lit on fire that five people could jump over at the same time, twirling fireballs on ropes, and people spinning fire poles.
Having seen multiple people with bandages from burns on their feet, legs, and arms, I spared myself the exciting experience.
I did, however, dance all night long until the wee hours of the morning. I have no idea how many buckets'o'drink we consumed throughout the night, but we danced until the sun came up!
Is the Full Moon Party Just for Backpackers?
Overall, the Full Moon Party is a crazy party made up of visitors from all around the world. As much as it is generalized that the crowd is mostly made up of young backpackers, I met people of all ages and from every background.
You will, however, find a LOT of young, hard-partying Aussies and backpackers all over Thailand.
Do you have tips for Thailand's Full Moon Party? Let me know in the comments below!
Shop My Full Moon Party Essentials!
I was feeling super hesitant about going, but now I think I have a handle on it. Thank you! This is perfect!
Those pics make it look like you've had a great time down in the Islands! I'm up here in the city, but it's equally amazing, in a totally different way.

Q: Panel plot using lattice package in R I would like to make an xyplot using lattice with 2 panels one over the other corresponding to a variable(date) having 2 levels(Weekday and Weekend). My dataframe looks like this:
 interval    date      steps
1        0 Weekday 2.25115556
2        5 Weekday 0.44528000
3       10 Weekday 0.17316889
4       15 Weekday 0.19789778
5       20 Weekday 0.09895556
6       25 Weekday 1.59035111
 .
 .
 .
289        0 Weekend   0.21462500
290        5 Weekend   0.04245000
291       10 Weekend   0.01651250
292       15 Weekend   0.01886250
293       20 Weekend   0.00943750
294       25 Weekend   3.51178750

I used the following code:
xyplot(steps ~ interval| levels(activity.week.mean$date),
           data = activity.week.mean,
           type = "l",
           xlab = "Interval",
           ylab = "Number of steps",
           layout=c(1,2))

What happens is that I get 2 panels with both having the distribution of Weekend and Weekday but I need one for each. Thanks in advance.

A: Instead of |levels(date) you should be using |factor(date) or just |date
xyplot(steps~interval|factor(date),
       type='l',layout=c(1,2),
       xlab='Interval',ylab='Number of Steps')

A Language and Literacy Pioneer
Photo: Andrew Brilliant
Catherine Snow in her office, 2003
Over her lengthy career, Professor Catherine Snow has opened our understanding of how oral language skills are acquired and how language relates to literacy outcomes. She's provided an invaluable roadmap for countless teachers seeking to improve reading instruction and knowledge-building and to nurture a love of reading in their students. It's no wonder that Snow's work has been lauded for its usefulness and accessibility by educators — or that it has found its way into schools around the country.
Catherine Snow has helped spur a quiet revolution in the way children and adolescents learn to read — and read to learn.
"Catherine Snow's work ranges from detailing the contexts and processes by which children do — or don't — acquire the register of academic language, to recent interventions that demonstrate how students develop the language and knowledge of academic disciplines," said P. David Pearson of the University of California-Berkeley, upon bestowing Snow the 2011 American Education Research Association's Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award. "She has provided a compelling example of how to bridge the theory-practice gap in ways that inform both sides of the divide."
As American educators grappled with how to teach English as a second language, Snow undertook important research to gain a better understanding of second language development and the role of the home in influencing a child's English and Spanish vocabulary. Her understanding of the value of bilingualism was a message that resonated with audiences beyond educators as her research would inform language policy issues in the United States and developing nations, and testing policies. In 2002, she presented research on English as a second language on C-Span.
Much of Snow's research has focused on early literacy and bilingualism, but she shifted her attention in the past 15 years toward adolescent reading, coauthoring a seminal report, Reading Next: A Vision for Action and Research in Middle and High School Literacy, that garnered significant attention. "Educators must . . . figure out how to ensure that every student gets beyond the basic literacy skills of the early elementary grades, to the more challenging and more rewarding literacy of the middle and secondary school years," she wrote, noting the great importance of teaching comprehension.
Snow also plays an important role in creating the tools to improve middle school-aged literacy outcomes. For example, in her Word Generation project, which addresses concerns about vocabulary development in sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders, Snow collaborated with the Boston Public Schools and the Strategic Education Research Partnership (SERP) to establish curricular tools that enhance literacy and teaching. The curriculum has since informed efforts in other cities, playing a role in New York City's Middle School Quality Initiative, for example. In its creation, Snow worked directly with teachers to brainstorm topics and pilot early efforts of Word Generation, which launched in 2015 and has since developed more elaborate, helpful guides and supplementary materials, continuing to grow in popularity. – Jill Anderson

When's the last time you had your hot water heater flushed? Flushing your hot water heater is an important task that often gets overlooked. Flushing your hot water heater helps in getting rid of the gunk and mineral deposits that accumulate and will not only help your hot water heater run more efficiently, but prolong its life as well, which saves you money. Our Hinesville plumber has some simple step by step instructions for you on how to flush out your own water heater!
Hot water heaters come in two varieties: gas and electric. The biggest difference between flushing a gas water heater and an electric water heater is that with gas, you will be turning off the gas to your appliance; with electric, you'll be turning off the electricity. If you find yourself running into any issues during this process our 24 hour hot water service is here to help!
Turn the knob on your water heater's thermostat to "Off." The thermostat on a gas hot water heater is usually found near the bottom of the tank. To turn off an electric hot water heater, you will need to find your home's breaker box and turn the switch off that gives power to your hot water heater.
Turn off gas to hot water heater. This step is only necessary if you have a gas hot water heater. To turn off the gas find the pipe leading to your thermostat, and turn the valve to the off position.
Turn off the cold water supply to the hot water heater. The cold water valve is usually near the top of your hot water heater. You will need to switch it to off.
Turn on the hot water in the sink or the tub. Leave the hot water running in the sink or tub during the entire flushing process. This will help prevent a vacuum from forming in the lines while you're draining your hot water tank.
Connect garden hose to drainage spigot. Before you turn on the spigot, make sure the other end of the hose leads outside into a bucket or container of some sort.
Turn on the spigot and drain. You should drain your tank until the water runs clear and has no traces of sediment. You may need to drain it completely.
Flush. To flush your hot water tank, simply turn on the cold water spigot leading into your hot water tank and let it run for a few minutes, until the water that is exiting your hose runs clear.
Turn off the drainage spigot and disconnect the hose.
Turn off the water in your sink or tub.
Turn on the hot water spigot in the sink or tub to get the air out of the system. Cold water should be coming out of the faucet at this point. Turn it off.
Turn the gas back on that you had shut off.
You're done! You have successfully flushed your water heater! If you have any questions, concerns or difficulties then one of our emergency plumbers will be there in a flash to help you! If you're interested in more plumbing tips or services please give us a call at 770.860.8110.
Just had Dakota Bolt from High Priority Plumbing in to help with a couple different plumbing issues and I received outstanding service. Dakota was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful; I highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.

Once again, it's 'directionless' Turkey
BURAK BEKDİL, hurriyetdailynews
Turks can be fun when they collectively express their foreign policy perceptions, perspectives and passions. The findings of research in this field often produce the typology of the teenage-minded big angry Turk who has not yet finished half his soul searching: Who am I? Who are my friends? And my enemies? Which people pose a threat to me? Who can I evolve better with and advance my personal interests? These – and more – can be annoying questions for a passionate teenager whose most recent life is hardly a success story.
US Exceptionalism Has No Place in a Multipolar World
Geopolitical Monitor, Robert Shines
With the end of the Cold War twenty-five years ago, many in the U.S have taken the country's continued global hegemony for granted. However, this state of affairs is increasingly being challenged by both Russia and China, exemplified by their aerial flybys and interceptions of the US military within their respective regions.
Time for India to Stretch its Wings

WASHINGTON, DC – Imagine you are a parent with a large number of children and limited resources. Your oldest child is mature enough to move out of your home, but he does not want to. So he stays, consuming resources that his siblings desperately need. Is it right to allow your other children to suffer because their big brother is reluctant to strike out on his own?
Erdoğan's game plan
MURAT YETKİN, hurriyetdailynews
In the opening session of the first ever United Nations World Humanitarian Summit, which started in Istanbul on May 23, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan strongly criticized the U.N.'s inability to take and execute decisive moves to address man-made crises, giving the example of the Syria civil war.
Beware What You Wish For: Russia Is Ready For War

"Information Clearing House" - "RT" - So foreign ministers from the 28 NATO member-nations met in Brussels for a two-day summit, while mighty military power Montenegro was inducted as a new member.
Bad and not-so-bad executions
Under the management of the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) foreign policy, it has been a real challenge to keep a count of the flight itineraries of Turkish ambassadors in foreign capitals. Those who are recalled, resent, then recalled again, then resent or not… But all such punishing diplomatic moves have one thing in common: The extra flight costs have not changed the course of events that Turkey has protested about in the countries where Turkish ambassadors have been on the move.


First and last year of issue coins have always been sought-after and most disappeared from circulation long ago. This set of Barber quarters contains the first 1892 and last 1916 issues - both of which were minted from 90% silver. More than 100 years ago at the turn of the 20th century, Barber coins were America's standard coin and could be found in everyone's pocket or handbag. Today, these beautiful silver coins are cherished as genuine pieces of our nation's history. Designed by Charles E. Barber, the coin's obverse shows Liberty with a triple headdress of cap, laurel wreath, and a tiny coronet inscribed "Liberty."


On completion, the plant will treat a flow of over 600,000 m3/day and serve a population of 3 million. The upgrading of the El Salitre WWTP poses a complex technical challenge in that it will increase the current treatment capacity of 4 m3/s to 7.1 m3/s. Moreover, the fact that the plant is located on the site of what used to be a landfill, requires the implementation of innovative technical solutions. The design envisages the use of over 300 kilometres of piles for the foundations of the new facility.

It is best to collect restricted pages into a single directory that contains just restricted pages. Restrictions will apply to all files and subdirectories in the restricted folder.
Restrictions are controlled by a file called .htaccess that is placed in the directory to be protected. The format of the .htaccess file is very specific; be careful when editing this file.
Place the following lines in the .htaccess file.
Restricting access to people with a K-State eID and password is not the same as restricting access to K-State students and employees. Anybody can register for a K-State eID.
The list of eIDs is a blank-delimited list of K-State eIDs that are allowed access. Any number of eIDs may appear on the line.
EIDs can be listed in any order. However, keeping the list alphabetic will aid in future maintenance.
Testing access restrictions is complicated by the use of single sign-on. After publishing the .htaccess file, if you view the protected page, you will likely be granted access without authentication -- because you are signed in already.
To veryify the access restrictions are operating correctly, use a browser that is not signed in to K-State or use the private browsing feature of your browser.
For situations where security is not critical and non-K-Staters may be allowed access, a username and password may be used that is unrelated to a K-State eID. The username and password must be distributed via email or other means.
Where path-to-site is the path to the site's files on the web server. For sites on www.k-state.edu, this is just the pathname portion of the URL, down to the directory being protected. For example, if www.k-state.edu/dept/secure/ is being protected, path-to-site is dept/secure.
For other sites, contact webservices@k-state.edu.
The actual username and password are specified in a file named userlist.txt. To determine the contents of that file, a variety of online password encryption facilities are available, such as http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/.

New York Times: Galloway to Leave Board
New York Times said Scott Galloway, who in 2008 led a shareholder fight against the publisher that ultimately earned him a seat on the company's board, has opted out of re-election.
TheStreet Staff
said Scott Galloway, who in 2008 led a shareholder fight against the publisher that ultimately earned him a seat on the company's board, has opted out of re-election.
Galloway told the
he was leaving the board because of "other commitments."
Galloway joined the board of New York Times after his investment company, Firebrand Partners, teamed up with hedge fund Harbinger Capital and pushed for strategic changes at the company. Harbinger has reduced its stake in New York Times to 13%.
The company, in a regulatory filing, said it nominated Carolyn Greenspon, a fifth-generation member of the Ochs-Sulzberger family that controls the publisher, to stand for election.
Greenspon's addition to the board would give it 13 directors, following the exit of Galloway and Daniel Cohen, who said previously he would step down.

...when you don't even have a relevant job posted? Because at Springboard Retail, we believe that this is the most strategic way to build our team.
Even with higher mobility among workers in today's generation, people still expect to spend YEARS in a job. So the idea that you have to be actively looking and stumble upon the right job when the company is seeking to fill a role (often in a very finite 6-8 week period) is a serious mismatch of supply and demand in our minds. And then within those 6-8 weeks in a normal recruiting process, you typically have a few hours at max to really get to know the company and culture. We believe recruiting should be less driven by serendipitous timing and more relationship-driven. If we can spend a bit longer getting to know each other, without the added pressure of trying to fill a position/land a job immediately, the potential positive impact for us both is very large.
So if our mission, product and team resonate with you, introduce yourself today. We'd love to see where that might lead.
What should I include in my introduction?
Please send your resume. We also appreciate links to LinkedIn, GitHub, or other social profiles!
Please indicate your areas of interest. At this stage, your areas of interest can be broad (i.e. sales, customer success, etc.). But if you have slightly more specific interest in a few areas (sales generally, plus sales engineering and sales operations, for example), please do let us know.
Finally, help us see how you could add value to our company. As a rapidly scaling early stage tech company, our org structure is appropriately dynamic and we don't yet know everything about what the company needs in the future. Help us understand how your background, experience or interests make you a valuable and strategic addition to our team.
What happens after I proactively introduce myself?
Our People Ops team evaluates EVERY incoming introduction. We will tag your information based on your expressed interest and (thoughtfully keep you informed). While we will NOT overload your inbox with unnecessary information, we will share relevant information from our Leadership or People Ops team occasionally.
In the event we have immediate needs, we will contact you to connect. In all other cases, we will notify you in advance of any relevant job postings based on your interests. You will receive notice prior to a job posting going live on any job boards.
Have you ever hired a proactive applicant?
YES. Hear directly from a recent hire in the video (link to video) above!
When does it make sense to follow-up?
When there are meaningful changes to your background (i.e new skills acquired, new experience gained, etc.). If your contact info changes. And, of course, when you are interested in an open position!
We'd love to hear from you! Email us at recruitingfeedback@springboardretail.com.

So, what are the common denominators in these three cultures? What are the things that they all do?
And we managed to boil it down to nine. In fact we've done two more Blue Zone expeditions since this and these common denominators hold true.
And the first one, and I'm about to utter a heresy here, none of them exercise, at least the way we think of exercise. Instead, they set up their lives so that they are constantly nudged into physical activity. These 100-year-old Okinawan women are getting up and down off the ground, they sit on the floor, 30 or 40 times a day.
Diets don't work. No diet in the history of the world has ever worked for more than two percent of the population. Exercise programs usually start in January; they're usually done by October. When it comes to longevity there is no short term fix in a pill or anything else. But when you think about it, your friends are long-term adventures, and therefore, perhaps the most significant thing you can do to add more years to your life, and life to your years.

August Landelius delivers his warped rendition of Sixpence None The Richer's 'Kiss Me'
Posted on May 14, 2019 May 14, 2019 by Press Release
With his eagerly awaited new studio album 'Goldilocks Zone' set to arrive on the 12th May, Swedish producer August Landelius now finalises the previews for his new full-length with the arrival of 'Kiss Me', his rework of the Sixpence None The Richer classic.
Following on from his previously shared singles 'All You Can Eat' and 'Now', his version of 'Kiss Me' continues that warped and psychedelic appeal we have been treated to in the last few months. Taking inspiration from the likes of Thundercat and Animal Collective, this new release channels a more sombre edge to the producer's usual output, leaving the lyrics of the track drowning in a wave of kinetic basslines and throbbing synths to create a smooth yet otherworldly vibe.
Asked why he chose to cover that single in particular, he explained, "To be honest; I was just humming that track one night when I was in the Dutch countryside with my girlfriend. She said "you should make a cover of that" and I didn't really have anything else to do so I did it and it turned out nice I think. I did really like it as a kid also."
'Kiss Me' previews the release of his hotly anticipated debut album 'Goldilocks Zone'. Having worked tirelessly on it since his first EP 'Float' back in 2015, he aims to see this as an example of inventing and then reinventing himself over and over again.
Adding his comments to the creation of his new album, he said, "I have worked SOOOOOO hard on the album. I know everyone who makes an album says that but I've taken the train to weird places all over Europe to pick up specific gear, then learned how to work with them, then wrote, recorded, produced and mixed everything by myself. There's been a lot of different versions of the tracks and every single detail on the album is reconsidered 300 times (just ask my label). You can expect rustic beats with more character than my previous stuff. I kinda want it to sound like a band playing electronic instruments live in one take. I'm fairly bored of perfectly sequenced beats. I've learned so incredibly much from this process and, in the end, I'm glad I really took my time. It feels like I've taken a master's degree or something in a way (although I've never actually taken one, so I don't know how that feels)".
'Kiss Me' will be available to stream and download from the 3rd May, with his debut album 'Goldilocks Zone' arriving on the 12th May via Naiv Recordings. His previous offerings 'All You Can Eat' and 'Now' are available now.

Johnny Sauter: A Remnant Short Track Racer From 'An Era That's Gone By'
February 25, 2020 Michael Massie
Just prior to the start of the 2019 Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season, Johnny Sauter was let go of his ride at GMS Racing in favor of Brett Moffitt. In the 11th hour, Sauter, the 2016 Truck champion, and his longtime crew chief Joe Shear Jr. returned to ThorSport Racing to pilot the team's No. 13 Ford.
When Sauter drove for Duke and Rhonda Thorson's team from 2009-15, he and Shear won 10 races and were a regular threat for the championship. But last year, Sauter only won one race, coming early in the season at Dover International Speedway. He also took the checkered flag in first at Talladega Superspeedway, but the win was taken away after NASCAR ruled Sauter blocked Riley Herbst below the yellow line.
Sauter's sixth-place finish in the point standings last year was the lowest the Wisconsin native had been since 2012. Meanwhile, his teammate Matt Crafton won his third championship — his other two also came when Sauter was with ThorSport.
But with more time to prepare for this season, things are already looking brighter for Sauter in 2020. He's finished in the top 10 in both races thus far, including a runner-up performance last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — the only driver who beat him was defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch.
Sauter, who is fifth on the Truck Series all-time wins list, caught up with Frontstretch to discuss his expectations for 2020, his desire to get the Thorsons a championship, his short track schedule, the series' return to Richmond Raceway, his thoughts on the yellow line rule (and rules in general) and being in Crafton's shadow.
Michael Massie, Frontstretch.com: At this point last year, it seems like it wasn't too soon before Daytona that the ThorSport announcement was made. How much better does it feel coming in having known what you're going to race and being more comfortable with the team?
Johnny Sauter: For sure. There's so many things you're more comfortable with. Obviously, you've got history now — a little bit — with your guys and just the whole program. And even though it's like going back home, there's still a lot of things new to learn because it had been three or four years. I feel very comfortable with where we're at right now, just with the trucks, the way we've got them prepared, the races that we're going to. Yeah, it's awesome.
Massie: I imagine it's a lot easier for Joe Shear Jr. as well because he came in last second last year. I imagine that was pretty tough for him to get the trucks up to speed, right.
Sauter: Yeah, I mean honestly, the ThorSport stuff, it's all been awesome. Last year was just a tough year. For me personally, I feel like I've made a lot of mistakes that kind of got us behind the 8 ball. Just fluke things happen that, you know sometimes happen in racing that are out of your control. So luck is a part of this game whether people want to admit it or not. Yeah, I think the whole program, like I said, showing up, maybe looking for some things that I need to feel or I need, and we've worked on a lot of that stuff over the last year. Yeah, last year was kind of a whirlwind how it all came together last minute, but I'm very thankful that it did.
Massie: So in the grand scheme of things in your career, would you view last year negatively or positively?
Sauter: I think of it as a learning year for sure. You got to do some self-evaluating, you know honestly. Or at least I think you do. And say, yeah, by every standard or our standard of what we expect, it was not a good year. You can either dwell on the negatives or say, 'Hey, what could I have done differently to make things better?' I feel like I've done that a lot, and I know that the team does and things that they think that they could do better. I think that's how you get better. Yeah, last year was a rough patch.
Massie: Well it seems like Ford has stepped up their support in the Truck Series this year. There's more teams, obviously. Do you think that will help your program?
Sauter: The more, the merrier, especially if there's technology being shared and all that. It's a real plus to have — I think it's nine Ford trucks in the field [at Daytona]. You want to see the manufacturer do well and to win. That's always nice to have in your back pocket. But any more, technology is changing so fast, and the more trucks you have — if they'll share — it expedites the learning curve. And that's how you stay on top in this game.
Massie: You and Joe Shear Jr. have been together for what feels like forever. What is it about you two guys that clicks so well?
Sauter: Well, it has been forever. I think it's very similar backgrounds, upbringings. Both of our dads were successful short track racers. You know, just similar mentalities. I feel like Joe has always been an innovative type of guy. Sometimes, that gets you in trouble. But you know he eats, breathes and sleeps this stuff. You can ask him what we ran for a setup 10 years ago, and he can pretty much rattle it off, 90% of it. And that's kind of how I am. I can still remember what I ran for setups 20 years ago, but I can't tell you what I ate for lunch yesterday.
Just similar backgrounds, and we've had a lot of success together. I appreciate a guy that's all-in on racing. He just doesn't have any other interest. I'm kind of the same way.
Massie: The Truck Series schedule is so much shorter than the other national touring series. So what do you do in your time away from the truck?
Sauter: I short track race as much as I can. Spend all my free time working on my late model stuff. That's still in my heart. I can't get away from that stuff. And obviously, having four kids keeps me pretty busy. They're old enough now, they're getting into sports like hockey and all that. I try to take them to school every day and just be a part of that. And if I'm not doing that, then I'm in Ohio at the truck shop. I want to win a lot of races for Duke and Rhonda, and I want to win a championship for them in the worst way. Pretty much just racing, that's what I like.
Massie: What's your late model schedule look like coming up?
Sauter: I'm going to start off at the Dells for the Icebreaker and then the Joe Shear Classic at Madison [International Speedway]. The Slinger Nationals, Dixieland 250. I'll try to race as much as I can this year. I'm hoping to get to six, seven, eight shows and get it going.
Massie: I know last year Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he almost had you in a late model at Martinsville. Are you working to get into that race?
Sauter: Yeah, I'm just waiting to hear from him. The ball's in his court. I told him we could do it even last year. And if that's something he wants to pursue, that'd be great. I love Martinsville, it's been a great racetrack. I'm trying to do something that I've never done. I've never driven a late model stock, so I think it would be kind of cool to have the challenge.
Massie: So pretty much if you're going to do that race, it's only for Dale Jr.?
Sauter: Oh yeah. I mean he was the one who called me on it. I was excited about it. It just didn't work out. If it does, that would be awesome. If it doesn't, I understand how that works, too.
Massie: The Truck Series is coming back to Richmond Raceway this year. You had a lot of success there in the Xfinity Series early in your career, including a win in 2003. How excited are you for that track to be back on the schedule?
Sauter: Yeah, I'm pumped. I feel like we need more tracks like that, honestly. I was thinking about that the other day, and it's been what, 12, 13 years since I've raced there already. I'm sure the racetrack's changed immensely. I always watch that race, even the weekends we're not racing. That's always the race that I tune into for Xfinity and Cup just because I love that racetrack. I'm looking forward to it, good short track racing. And the racetrack looks like it's really wore out, it's gonna be slick. So I think it'll be fun.
Massie: Being the late model, short track kind of guy you are, are there any short tracks that you would consider adding to the Truck's schedule that aren't on there now?
Sauter: Oh yeah. There's awesome short tracks all over this country that I feel like we could do a service to, and they could do a service to the Truck Series. But I don't make those decisions. But there's awesome short tracks all over the place.
Massie: Is there one that kind of tops the list that you think could actually handle the Truck Series?
Sauter: Well obviously, I'm a Midwestern guy, so I'm partial to some of the short tracks in Wisconsin. There's absolutely some places there that could facilitate it. We go to Eldora [Speedway], and they facilitate it. So yeah, I think there's short tracks all over. Even if they had to bring in temporary grandstands, whatever. But there's a lot of economics to all that, and I don't know how that works.
Massie: So last year, it appeared you won Talladega, but NASCAR ruled you blocked below the yellow line and took the win from you. Does that one still sting?
Sauter: Yeah, I mean, of course. You feel like you do everything right, and you're in position to win the race. And your truck's in one piece, and you essentially do win the race. Anytime that's taken away, it stings.
But honestly, it's the second time it's happened to me, so — I'm more bummed for my guys, you know what I'm saying? They're the ones that busted their tails, and bonus moneys and all that stuff, they miss out on all that. That's at the heart of it all, you know. For myself, I'm a racer, I want to win of course. But whatever, it just wasn't meant to be that day. I thought I did everything right, and I didn't. So you just move on.
Massie: How would you like the yellow line rule to be?
Sauter: Well, in my humble opinion, there's too many rules across the board, not just at Talladega or the yellow line rule. I think there's just too many rules. But that's just my opinion. I'm from probably an era that's gone by, so I understand that, too.
You know, there's a fine line there I guess. Last lap, you're leading the race, you're kind of a sitting duck, so you got to do what you got to do. But the rule is what it is. And honestly, at that time, I wasn't even paying attention to the yellow line. I was just looking in the mirror trying to block. At 190 miles per hour and somebody's got you hooked in the left rear quarter panel, it's not just jerk the wheel and straighten it out. But people don't understand that because they've never done it. So there's no sense crying over spilled milk, right?
Massie: You were talking about how badly you want to get that championship trophy for the Thorsons. All three of Crafton's championships have come while you were racing for them. Does that add to the fire at all?
Sauter: Well, there's no question I make Matt Crafton a better racer. I'm just kidding. Yeah, I mean of course. You see your teammate having success. I think that's what drives a lot of guys, their teammates.
And people say, 'Oh, there's no rivalry there.' Well, then you're not a competitive person. And I hear people say that stuff all the time, and I call BS. You're as competitive with your teammates as you are everybody else, and when you have a teammate that's having success, it drives you even harder. So, of course I want to win the championship for Duke and Rhonda. And I'm glad Matt's doing what he's doing, but I'd like to be able to do it, too.

The Walls of Jerusalem
Carved at some ancient time in the Western Wall near the southwestern corner of the Temple Mount are the words of Isaiah. Loosely translated, they read: "Joy is with Jerusalem. All peace be with her."
When the great cathedrals of Europe were built, the walls of Jerusalem had already borne the chisel marks of Solomon, Hezekiah, Nehemiah, and King Herod. When the Great Wall of China first snaked its bulwark across Asia, these walls were ancient. Of course, Jerusalem's walls have been built over time, leaving mixtures of the originals, those built by the Romans, those built during the Middle Ages, and others. But portions of all remain. The present walls of Jerusalem were completed by Suliman the Magnificent in 1540.
Down the long, agonizing corridor of Israel's history, Jews longed to return to these walls. When Jesus wept at Jerusalem over Israel's rejection, He knew it would be almost 1,880 years—after Jerusalem was pulverized by the relentless military might of Rome and other conquerors—before the Jews would return again to kiss the Western Wall.
The History of the Temple Mount
Abraham took his son Isaac to Mount Moriah, now the Temple Mount, to offer him as a sacrifice (Genesis 22:1–2; 2 Chronicles 3:1). David purchased Araunah the Jebusite's threshing floor to build an altar here (2 Samuel 24:18–25). He collected materials, but his son Solomon built the temple on the site God had chosen (1 Chronicles 22:14–15; 28:11–20; 2 Chronicles 3:1).Solomon's temple was burned by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BC (2 Kings 25:8–9).
When the Jews returned from captivity, they built the second temple, the temple of Zerubbabel (Ezra 3:8–13; 4:23–24; 5:15; 6:15; Haggai). Beginning in 20 BC, Herod the Great enlarged the Temple Mount considerably, adding onto Zerubbabel's temple and creating a beautiful place of worship. But eighty-three years later, in AD 64, the project came to a halt. And the Romans completely destroyed the temple only six years after that!
Jesus was presented to the Lord in the second temple (Luke 2:22–39). He visited the temple at age 12 (Luke 2:41–50), cleansed the temple twice (Matthew 21:12–13; John 2:12–25), healed the blind and the lame, and taught extensively here (John 8; Matthew 21:23–23:29). Jesus foretold the destruction of the temple (Matthew 24:2). The veil of the temple was ripped in two from top to bottom when Jesus died (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38).
Judas cast his pieces of silver (his betrayal money) in the temple (Matthew 27:5). Peter and the other apostles preached and healed at the temple (Acts 3:2, 11; 5:21). Paul, after his third missionary journey, visited Jerusalem, where he was seized by the Jews during a visit to the temple (Acts 21:17–40).
Two Down–Two to Go
Two temples have been built and destroyed. The Bible predicts two more earthly temples in the future:
The tribulational temple (Daniel 9:24–27; Matthew 24:15–16; 2 Thessalonians 2:3–5; Revelation 11:1–2) will be built by zealous Jews but used by satanic powers during "Daniel's Seventieth Week," the tribulation.
The millennial (or messianic) temple is where the glorified Jesus Christ will reign for a thousand years (Ezekiel 40–43; Revelation 20:1–6).
John wrote of heaven in Revelation 21:22, "I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple."

Hypnotherapy Can Help With Anger Management Issues
Mark BarrusLast updated August 2, 2019 Posted in hypnotherapy
Anger is one of the eight basic human emotions that we all deal with from time to time. There is a fine line between a basic emotion and having a situation that creates an environment in which a person can no longer control how they feel. When this happens, there are serious ramifications. Popular media also likes to highlight these situations. Celebrities like Kanye West and Charlie Sheen come to recent memory. There are ways to better manage anger and clinical hypnotherapy can work to help a person reframe their perspective.
Release Your Inner Calm After Brain Injury
There has been recent evidence that highlight the fact that anger can be intensified after a person has had a recent injury to their brain. If this happens, there are more outbursts than normal and can provide a distorted viewpoint.
The two men that took part in this study had also been enrolled in a holistic program to better manage their anger. The program lasted for a period of six weeks. During this time, these gentlemen also focused on getting a better understanding of the topic of brain injuries. In addition, they covered effective forms of communication and identifying varying levels of mood swings. Lastly, individual sessions were requested as well to include their participation in a group setting.
The first individual was 37 years old and had a severe injury to his brain while he was an adolescent. Unfortunately, he had not gotten any rehabilitation the entire time. This traumatic incident also included contusions in the frontal lobe. Afterwards, this patient had a very hard time remembering things after his brief coma due to his accident. He lost the fervor to attend his regularly scheduled classes and had been kicked out of school as a result.
This gentleman had a fine recovery of the physical nature, but never addressed the ramifications of his actual brain injury. He was able to live on his own but had difficulty keeping a job because he kept getting into fights at work. He felt that everyone was out to get him and he wanted to make a serious change in his life.
The second male in this study was 47 years of age and had experienced difficulties during a brain surgery twelve years prior. While the first man in the study was single, this gentleman was happily married with two children. After his botched surgery, he expressed high levels of anger and anxiety. As a result, he started limiting social outings and interactions with other people. His relationship with his wife also started to deteriorate and he felt he should focus on improving his circumstances.
Each session included watching multiple videos highlighting everyday situations. After each video was viewed, participants were as to give their opinion as to how they would have reacted to each scenario. Those responses were recorded and measured after each session to evaluate any differences of opinion. They were also encouraged to imagine multiple problem-solving techniques to address whether or not there were multiple Solutions that could be used.
Role-playing was also introduced in which each participant was able to highlight personal examples that they may have experienced that were similar to the previous videos that were watched. Seeing the situation in another person's eyes is also known as perceptual positioning in clinical hypnotherapy.
At the end of the six-week sessions, both participants reported having lower levels of anger. They were also able to have compassion for other people by putting themselves in their shoes. They also were better able to understand the impact of their emotions based off of the brain injuries that were sustained. Further research was encouraged to include larger groups of participants that have had brain injuries in the past.
Managing Anger Issues After Years of Exhibitionism
Hypnosis was used to address anger and three individuals who were also being treated for exhibitionism. This condition had not been treated for over 5 years prior to participating in the study and each patient also had not had any other underlying Psychopathic conditions. Each individual had also been repeating offenders in the past in addition to having Court convictions. The men's Ages were 22, 26 and 25. They were also harboring anger towards the people that had exposed themselves to them at such an early age. They were open to the subject matter of hypnosis and wanted to improve their stations in life.
While it was recommended that each participant partakes in deep hypnotic suggestions, only two of the three gentlemen were successful and reaching the state after the first session. The third gentleman found it very difficult to get past a light trance State and was referred to another clinical therapist after his job required him to travel which conflicted with the study.
Since all three participants had a long period of exhibitionism for over five years, researchers were elated to have the initial positive results. However, it was recommended that there be extensive follow-up every 6 months for a total of 3 years. At the one-year mark, the first two participants had undergone additional treatment sessions with their hypnotherapist to be proactive and not fall back on their previous deviant behavior.
This led to two additional sessions where the subjects were able to effectively share their individual experiences in addition to the treatment. This gave them a greater feeling of belonging to a group that would not abandon them in the future. Additional research was requested since there were only three individuals that had taken part in this pilot study.
There was also a discussion about further research that would include a mixture of genders and a future study to compare versus having only one demographic represented. Age would also be a factor in the future if subjects were older to determine if similar successes could be achieved at any time period in a person's life.
Everyone experiences anger at one point or another. The difference is whether or not they are able to control their emotions so that things quickly do not get out of hand. Speaking with a licensed hypnotherapist practitioner can help those that are in need of anger management.

Q: Error 83118834 when trying to open session in Xbox Live I switched on my Xbox 360 after several weeks without using it and I'm receiving the error 83118834 when trying to open session in Xbox Live. I tried it several times and after confirming the password of my Live account it seems to connect but after a few seconds the error appears again. Any suggestions?

A: I figured the answer myself, I remembered that several days ago I received an email from Microsoft asking to update the information of my account (in my case my birth date), which I had ignored, so I did the following:

*

*Went to https://www.xbox.com/

*Pressed "Sign in" to open session.

*Entered account ID/email & password using the same account that I use for the Xbox.

*After doing that, I was asked for the missing information (my birth date), I entered it and continued.

After finishing this, I switched on the console again and it connected to Xbox Live at the first try.
Hope that this help other people.

Serbian Ministry of Environment said that it has approved the environmental impact study for the project for the construction of the extension of TurkStream gas pipeline through Serbian territory, connecting Bulgarian and Hungarian borders.
In early March, Gastrans, a joint venture of Serbian Srbijagas and Russian Gazprom, has invited binding bids for booking the capacity of the Serbian section of TurkStream gas pipeline extension. Companies which have placed non-binding bids in the market test carried out last year are now invited to submit binding bids for gas transit between 1 January 2020 and 30 September 2039. The total volume of available annual capacity is 395.2 GWh/day at the Bulgaria interconnection and 271.02 GWh/day at the interconnection with Hungary. The deadline for the submission of binding bids was 18 March.
Also in March, the Serbian Energy Agency (AERS) has given a final approval for the construction of Serbian section of TurkStream gas pipeline that will connect Bulgarian and Hungarian borders and the start of its construction is expected to start in April. Serbian section of the TurkStream pipeline should become operational in 2020.

NASCAR's Bubba Wallace was not target of hate crime, FBI finds

HomeSportsNASCAR's Bubba Wallace was not target of hate crime, FBI finds
By MEREDITH DELISO, ABC NEWS
(NEW YORK) — The FBI has completed its investigation into a noose found in Bubba Wallace's garage at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this week and is not filing any federal charges, the organization announced Tuesday.
According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, the noose had been in the garage since as early as last fall.
Wallace, the league's only full-time Black driver, "was not the target of a hate crime," NASCAR said in a statement.
The FBI investigation concluded through video and photographic evidence that a garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned in that garage number 4 since at least October 2019, and thus was not directed at Wallace.
"Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week," Town and Sharp's statement said.
In a press call with media on Tuesday, NASCAR President Steve Phelps said this was "fantastic" news.
"There is no place in our sport for this type of racism and hatred," Phelps said. "It's not who we are as a sport."
Phelps said that NASCAR will be continuing its own investigation to determine "why there was a rope fashioned into a noose." He said the rope was present in the garage during a race in October. On Sunday, a member of Wallace's crew found and reported it to his crew chief, who then brought it to the attention of NASCAR Cup Series Director Jay Fabian, he said.
"To be clear, we would do this again," Phelps said. "The evidence that we had, it was clear that we needed to look into this."
Phelps said the show of support around Wallace at Monday's race was a "very powerful image" and "one of the most important days that we had."
Wallace was met with a huge show of support from all 39 other drivers and their crews with a march down pit road as they pushed his car to the front of the field.
"These times kind of bring back that positive light of love and passion and solidarity and unity, to unite together and show that love is way stronger than hate," Wallace said on ABC's "The View" Tuesday.
On Sunday, NASCAR had said it was launching an investigation after a noose was found in the garage stall for Wallace's 43 team.
On Monday, the Department of Justice announced its Civil Rights Division was also investigating to determine if any federal laws were violated.
Wallace had pushed for NASCAR to ban the display of the Confederate flag amid calls for racial justice following George Floyd's death last month at the hands of Minneapolis police. NASCAR subsequently announced earlier this month that it was banning the presence of the controversial flag at all events.
