What is Sorare?
Sorare was founded in 2018 by Nicolas Julia and Adrien Montfort. Sorare is a fantasy football game that allows players to purchase, sell, trade, and manage a virtual team through NFT player cards. First things first—how does traditional fantasy football work?
In general, you select your favorite players to create weekly lineups before match day. Then, you get game points based on the chosen players' performance during that game week.
Top Players cards in Sorare
In Sorare, the game approaches a bit differently. Unlike the traditional fantasy football game where you select player names from a list, you have to first purchase the NFTs corresponding to the player you want on your team. The tagline goes like this, "Own Your Game"
Hence, you completely own the player cards in this game. These NFT cards are based on the Ethereum blockchain. Further, you can also sell them in secondary markets as with any other NFT collectibles.
Using the digital cards on this NFT platform, you can create a five-a-side team. Once you do that, you can manage your team and participate in virtual tournaments. More importantly, you can start earning weekly rewards in form of ETH and rare cards.

How to play Sorare
To start playing Sorare, you first have to sign up on the Sorare website. Then sign up for different leagues, starting from the rookie league to a host of special leagues.
The European league includes Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. Some of the special leagues include the Under-23 league, which features players under the age of 23, and also the Asian leagues for K-League and J-League players.
At the time of your first sign-up, you have to choose a league, select the name and logo of your club, and pick three of your favorite clubs. In the beginning, You will get up to 10 free "Common" player cards, you can play the game for free.
Sorare randomly assigns these cards from the clubs you select. You can use the free cards only in the Rookie league and cannot sell them outside the game.
If you are a pro-gamer or want to earn more from the game, you'll have to buy your own cards. These cards come in different rarities.
To illustrate, during each season, each player gets the following rarities of cards:
Limited cards: 1,000
Rare cards: 100
Super rare:10 cards
Unique: 1 card
Needless to say, the rarer the card, the higher its value. The common players will cost about 0.2 ETH. Some of the rarest player cards like Halaand have even been auctioned for as high as 265 ETH.

Once you have the right set of cards, it's time to get ready for exploring the arena of leagues!
Sorare Tournaments
Sorare hosts a range of tournaments that are completely free to enter every week. You'll start the game as a "Manager" and will be promoted to "New Manager" after either playing for four weeks or entering four leagues.
Once your players meet the requirements of the leagues, you can register your team for the same. Keep in mind, that your 5-a-side-team requires the following category players—1 goalkeeper, 1 defender, 1 midfielder, 1 forward, and 1 additional player from another position i.e. CDM, RB, or LB choice is yours. You will also have to select a captain from the chosen five.
Based on the Matchday performance of each player, your Sorare team will earn points. These points depend on different performance parameters such as minutes played by a player, goals scored, clean sheets kept, and the assists.
however, the yellow and red cards the players receive are also an important factor. If your player ends up getting any of these cards there is a negative impact on points.
In short, the better the performance of the players on Matchday, the better your points score.
In addition, another criterion that decides a card's score is its XP. The cards can accumulate XP based on different parameters. One such parameter is the age of the card. Cards from the ongoing season will have more XP.
Here comes the most exciting part,
Each tournament offers different rewards. These rewards are mostly in the form of ETH.
For instance, in the All Stars global championship, the top three players receive ETH as well as a rare, highly valuable player card. Needless to say, pro-gamers are more likely to win these. But, if you are a beginner, you can still win rewards by chucking in a few points. For example, while you earn 0.01 ETH for crossing 205 points, you will receive 0.02 ETH if you score 250 points.
How to Trade on this Global Platform
Sorare offers multiple ways to purchase player cards. Firstly, you can bid on new cards from the "New Signings" tab. These are cards newly minted by Sorare and put up for auction. The highest bidder gets the player.
On the other hand, the "Transfer Market" section works as a secondary market. A gamer can resell his cards for a fixed price and buy different cards directly from other gamers. Although secondary sales are a good option to buy cards at reasonable costs, you won't receive any sign-up bonus.
In order to sell the cards, click the "Sell my card" button on the card. Remember, that Sorare doesn't allow you to auction your cards. You can only sell them at a fixed price.
Lastly, you can buy players directly by making a bid. Here you choose any player you like and click on the "Make an offer" button. If the offer is accepted, the player is yours.
Here are some bonus tips to play Sorare
Your score and rewards depend entirely on your lineup. So, you must pay the utmost attention while you create your dream team. Choose each player carefully. Here's the bonus tip, always pick players that are active and play regularly for their clubs. Because if your chosen player is not playing, you won't score any points.
Further, make sure that your team members have a good average rating. You'll require large capital to buy top players. Hence, a proper team with reasonably good players can help you earn good scores.
So, before you bid for or buy a player's card, make sure to check its XP level. Also, if you have a particularly good player that you want to build up, you can send them to Special Training League. Participating in this league will help the player gain more XP.
Next, choose the captain with extreme precaution. This is because captains receive an additional 20% of the weekly XP. Also, captains in the teams play a pivotal role when there is only a marginal score difference between the first and second prize winners. Thus, choose your captain wisely.
The Future of the Blockchain Fantasy Game
Sorare's attention to detail, in terms of tournaments and rewards, and a roster of players from all major clubs make it an attractive and exciting fantasy game. It is backed by venture capital firm Atomico, D1 Capital, Eurazeo, IVP, and more.
In addition, the board of advisors includes football player Gerard Piqué of Spain, tennis star Serena Williams, SoftBank CEO Marcelo Claure, Antoine Greizmann (Investor), etc. In fact, the company raised a whopping $688 million last year, creating history as the biggest series B round for a French tech startup.
The best thing about the Sorare NFT game is its global nature. It includes players from all over Europe, America, and Asia. Further with strong backing and heavy investment, the game, is only going to expand its player base in upcoming years.
What's more, it has launched a separate NFT collection called Legends and has plans to enter into other sports NFTs as well. While there have been some hiccups along the way, Sorare surely seems to be on an upward trajectory in terms of growth!

GMO Coin, the cryptocurrency exchange subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate GMO Internet, announced this week the addition of four cryptocurrencies to its loan service which allows customers to lend their coins to the company.
The service "allows you to rent out the virtual currency held by the customer to the company so that you can receive the rental fee according to the quantity of the lent virtual currency," the exchange detailed. GMO first introduced this service last month for just BTC.
Interested customers need to apply between May 9 and May 23. If there are more applicants than needed, the company will use a drawing to select whom to borrow from. The target currencies this time are BCH, ETH, LTC, and XRP.
Customers can lend between 100 and 1,000 ETH; 50 and 500 BCH; 300 and 3,000 LTC; and 100,000 and 1,000,000 XRP.
The time to maturity is 150 days. Borrowed cryptocurrencies will be returned to customers in the same amounts and types at maturity.
The exchange will pay customers 2.04109589 ETH for each 100 ETH borrowed. For 50 BCH, the company will pay 1.02054794 BCH. For 300 LTC, customers will receive 6.12328767 LTC. Lastly, for 100,000 XRP, the fee payable to customers will be 2,041.0958 XRP. GMO explained that the fee "corresponds to 5% / year (tax included)," adding that taxes will also be levied on the loan fees.
GMO Coin is a fully licensed cryptocurrency exchange in Japan. However, it is one of the two licensed exchanges to receive a business improvement order from the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) after the agency tightened its inspection of crypto exchanges following the hack of Coincheck in January. The other is Tech Bureau which operates Zaif exchange.
The company recently revealed GMO Coin's financials, showing an operating loss of 760 million yen (~US$7 million) in the first quarter of this year. The cost of operating the crypto business rose by about 560 million yen (~$5.1 million) for the group from the previous quarter. As for the company's mining operations, GMO revealed that it has mined a total of 906 bitcoins and 537 bitcoin cash.

Some Lesser Known Facts About Jillian Fink
Does Jillian Fink drink alcohol?: Yes [3]Elle Magazine
She spent her childhood in Texas, United States.
Childhood picture of Jillian Fink with her parents and sister
During her school days, she started working at a salon and selling private-label lash conditioning oil to classmates at school at the age of 14. After developing her makeup skills in Paris and London, she moved to Los Angeles to practice her craft in the entertainment industry. She decided to follow her beauty instincts and attend Charles Ross School of Hair Design in West Hollywood.
Thereafter, she worked for the cosmetics company Shu Uemura for a short period of time.
Later, she opened a hair chic L.A. salon Delux in collaboration with her sister, Kristen Fink. Apart from running her salon, Jillian was also worked as a makeup artist in the American films 'Something to Live for: The Alison Gertz Story' (1992), Bad Love (1992), and The Crew (1994).
Jillian got her big break when she got booked for a magazine shoot with American actress Brooke Shields in the '90s. The magazine shoot attracted an abundance of opportunities for her.
Despite being in a relationship, Jillian got attracted to the popular American actor Patrick Dempsey when he visited her salon for a haircut. Thereafter, Patrick continued to visit the salon for haircuts over the next three years, and finally, when Jillian became single, he asked her out. The couple tied the knot in 1999 after Patrick divorced his first wife, Rochelle Rocky Parker, in 1994.
Patrick, 21, and Rochelle, 47, got married in 1984 when he met the widowed mother of three during one of his first acting jobs. After eight years of togetherness, Rochelle filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences' and accusing him of adultery and physical abuse. In legal documents, she wrote,
While we were on the set of his (1987) movie Can't Buy Me Love, he beat me up because he claimed he 'wanted to see what it was like to beat up a woman!' I now suffer from arthritis in my hand from where Respondent injured me."
In 1998, she sold her salon, Delux. In 2000, her plans to establish a cosmetic range got a jump start when the renowned American actress Drew Barrymore asked her to create lip glosses for the American film Charlie's Angels (2000). Consequently, she founded Delux Beauty, a cosmetics line of lipsticks, blushes, eye shadows, and liners. The brand simplified blending and application by abandoning tools and encouraging users to trust their own hands.
Her makeup brand eventually caught the eye of the multinational cosmetics and skincare company Avon. In 2006, she became the Avon Global Creative Color Director. Thereafter, Jillian created various products in collaboration with Avon for the next six years.
In 2014, she launched her eponymous makeup line, Jillian Dempsey. In 2015, the makeup line debuted with Khol Eye Liners. The products were created with Jillian's non-negotiable insistence on using organic and naturally derived ingredients that are vegan and cruelty-free. The collection includes five finger-friendly products Lid Tints, Cheek Tints, Khôl Eyeliner, a Mini Fan Brush, and a Makeup Bag, sold in stores nationwide, including Sephora and Fred Segal. She styled her iconic Gold Sculpting Bar, a skin-care tool made of 24K gold in Japan. The vibrating bar helps to tone and lift the face by relaxing facial muscles with 6000 vibrations per minute.
Jillian Dempsey's Gold Sculpting Bar
As a celebrity makeup artist and hairstylist, she has worked with Hollywood's elites like Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, who constantly seek the precision of her hand and the uniqueness of her artistry. She attracted immense appreciation for creating the kohl-rimmed eyes of Twilight actress Kristen Stewart.
Thereafter, Jillian started creating jewelry by sculpting clay and wax into small-scale jewelry. Whenever she wore her designs out for jobs, her celebrity friends like Kristen Stewart and Kate Winslet took notice and demanded their own piece of Jillian-sculpted jewelry. This inspired her to establish her own jewelry brand Jillian Dempsey Jewelry in 2013.
In January 2015, Jillian and Patrick's marriage hit rock bottom when she filed a divorce. The actor admitted he was battling to save his marriage for which he later succeeded. Later, the couple reconciled and called off their divorce on November 12, 2016.
In April 2020, she launched a makeup-education application called FYFE Beauty, featuring a collection of tutorial videos by Jillian.
In an Instagram post, she credited her mother as her original style icon.
Apart from being an established makeup artist, Jillian Dempsey is also a celebrated sculptor, painter, entrepreneur, and animal activist.
The animal activist adopted 14 animals, which were rescued from the Woolsey Fire, a destructive wildfire that burned in Los Angeles and the Ventura Counties of the U.S. state of California. In an interview, while describing her favorite smell, she said,
My farm animals, oddly. I have 14 animals (and they were fortunately safely rescued from the Woolsey fires). Two donkeys (Mable and Styx), my pig (Hank), three goats (Larry, Moe, and Juliette), four roosters, a tortoise (Clover), three rabbits, along with three dogs (Horton, Clementine, and Ginger) at home and four lizards.
In an interview, she claimed that she is a proficient arm wrestler. She said,
I could beat anyone at arm wrestling, even any boy."

Daniela Weinert, discipline chair for German at Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), has been named president of the board of trustees for the German Language and Culture Foundation (GLCF), an organization dedicated to not only promoting the study of the German language in Carolina schools and universities, but also raising awareness of the German language and culture throughout the greater Charlotte area.
Weinert, a German native, was previously a board member of the German Language and Culture Foundation. As president, she will oversee the Foundation's grant application and fundraising efforts, annual budget, scholarship endeavors, networking opportunities and more.

One of her greatest accomplishments at CPCC has been cultivating a partnership with the German Language and Culture Foundation and educating its team on the strength of the college's German program. As a result, the Foundation has become heavily involved with CPCC over the past seven years, granting close to $65,000 in scholarships, which has helped 25 CPCC students study abroad in Germany, and collaborating with the college in 2015 to create the Study and Work Abroad program that, to date, has given two CPCC students the opportunity to study abroad as an apprentice in a STEM field.
Weinert graduated from Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany, in 1997. She is a frequent speaker at conferences and remains active within the CPCC community, serving on the College Senate as well as the Diversity Committee, Faculty Welfare, Student Welfare and Web Advisory teams.

Q: How to pass card information to checkout when redirecting (Stripe) With Python code below, I want to pass card information such as card number, cvc, name on card, etc to checkout on Stripe when redirecting:
stripe.checkout.Session.create(
    mode="payment",
    payment_method_types=['card'],
    line_items=[

    ],
    success_url="https://example.com/success",
    cancel_url="https://example.com/cancel",
)

I read Create a Session in Stripe Doc but I couldn't find the parameters to do it.
So, is it impossible to pass card information to checkout on Stripe when redirecting?

A: It's not possible to pass along payment information to create a Checkout session. That's essentially the point of using Stripe - your team never has to collect and store customers' sensitive card information.
By using Checkout, your customers can securely share their payment details directly with Stripe, and these payment details never touch your server.

Who's ready to go old school with this diy schoolhouse chair with desk? Super functional and a very easy build. Ana White designed this chair with easy plans for you to follow as part of our Handbuilt Holiday series.
Folks we are 7 weeks away from Christmas – time to get cracking! Ana's plans for this chair should only take you about 2 hours to build so no excuses.
It's truly every kids dream to have a little school chair with desk and the sizing on this design is perfection. It will fit kids from 3 – 9 years old best.
Just for proportion and sizing purposes above is my super giant 8 year old son, he's extremely tall for an eight year old so don't let that fool you. But you can see he fits just fine (I can even squeeze in there although it's a little snug for adults!).
The storage compartment below is 2 3/4″ deep so plenty of space for regular size school books and notebooks.
Be sure to glue the desk portion in place then add a few finish nails into the 2×2 support arm as well as attach the mending plate.
Keep all the pocket holes of the cross support pieces to the interior. A good idea to make the upwards pocket holes in the 1x2s for the seat BEFORE assembly unless you have a portable jig.
For the back support pieces keep the pocket holes to the back. You will want to fill these with plugs but they won't be too noticeable on the back.
Six projects down, six to go until the deadline! What will you build for holiday gifts this year?


We are delighted to introduce Macmillan Cancer Support as our national charity partner 201/2018. We're really excited about working with Macmillan and together we can help change the lives of millions of people affected by cancer. Our fundraising target for the current financial year is £53,000 (across all branches) which is enough to fund a Macmillan Nurse for a year.
Support for charities like Macmillan Cancer Support is needed more than ever as the harsh reality is that by 2020 almost one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetimes. Cancer is the toughest fight most people will ever face but they don't have to go through it alone. The Macmillan team, thanks to the generous and on-going support of individuals and corporate partners such as Northgate, is there every step of the way. Whether this is from the nurses and therapists helping patients during their treatment, to the campaigners improving cancer care, Macmillan's ambition is to reach everyone affected by cancer – but they can't do this alone.
Northgate people may choose to support Macmillan because a loved one, friend or colleague has been affected by a cancer experience, or simply because they want to help others through their cancer journey. We are currently working on four fantastic events to include in our fundraising calendar which starts with the hilarious Go Mad, Go Green event, followed shortly by the popular Coffee Morning and many more volunteering opportunities will be made available to our staff throughout the year.
Anything we do will make a difference and help us support the millions of people that are affected by cancer.
On 13th October a team of 16 Northgate Vehicle Hire employees took on a sizable climbing challenge in aid of charity.

Very lightweight tension spring, aluminium. Used to constantly tension fence wire and to balance differences in temperature. Also to relief strain from wire and corner posts.

With regard to the mitznefet we find a disagreement among the commentaries. According to the Rambam, both the regular kohen and the kohen gadol wore the same type of head covering, which was made of a long strip of fabric 16 amot long. The difference between them was in the way in which it was wrapped, with the kohen making it into a tall turban and the kohen gadol would wrap it around his head and beard. The Ra'avad understands that only the kohen gadol wore a mitznefet, while the regular kohanim wore tall, thin hats.
The Gemara derives from passages in Shmot 39 that the basic material used in the fabric for the bigdei kehuna was linen, derived from flax – Linum usitatissimum. It is an erect annual plant growing between 30 and 100 cm tall, with slender stems. The flowers are pure pale blue, 1.5-2.5 cm diameter, with five petals. The fruit is a round, dry capsule from which oils are derived. Flax is one of the oldest cultivated crops on record; its growth is mentioned in ancient Egypt. Today it is cultivated mainly in tropical areas.
The main product of flax is the fibers from which linen is made. Flax fiber is extracted from the bast or skin of the stem of flax plant. Flax fiber is soft, lustrous and flexible. It is stronger than cotton fiber but less elastic. It is removed via a lengthy process whereby the plant is dried out and then soaked until almost rotten. At that point they are once again dried out and the fibers combed out.

Q: Angular $resource endpoint with two parameters I've got a setup using a service to handle $resource that is as follows:
Service
factory('EventSlot', ['$resource', function ($resource){
    return $resource('/api/events/:id/slots/:slotId', {id: "@Id", slotId: "@slotId"},
    {
        signup: {
           method: 'PUT'
        }
     });
 }]);

Calling Function
EventSlot.signup({id: $scope.id, slotId: $scope.signUpSlot.id}, $scope.signUpSlot);

However, when the PUT call actually goes through it goes through to the endpoint:
/api/events/123/slots/ where 123 is the appropriate @Id however @slotId never gets attached.  So, what I want is /api/events/123/slots/456 but that never happens.

A: I think the logic works as expected and the possible reason why it was not working is because $scope.signUpSlot.id may be undefined.
I created a demo and you can open the browser console and see the call is actually made to the correct url:
PUT http://fiddle.jshell.net/api/events/123/slots/456 404 (NOT FOUND)

Ahoy there savvy readers and welcome back once again to the weekly dev blog.
And in a shocking twist I actually managed to get Zbrush open for the first time this year (wow that's a sad statement on my time management). The main goal was to do some work on the legs and I spent a while playing with different looks, some looked like armour, some like weird piping. But after sifting through various reference images (insect legs are weird), I've hashed something together that is starting to look decent. Not sure on the toe part but the spiky leg bits look cool and insect like.
Also on the done list this week is the fact that all the of Hantu cards have been transferred into the excel doc that functions as our gang builder. I've also started on the Isogorean cards though I only have about 5/25 done so far.
Unfortunately Simon and I did not get a game in this week but hopefully it's on the schedule for this coming week.
Along with that I will be progressing the Drazz and maybe even finishing the Isogorean faction cards. Woo progress!

Kashmiri second fastest growing language in India; Urdu dwindling
🕒 1 year ago
July 2, 2018 IST
Hirra Azmat |4 Mins Read
Srinagar, July 1: Over the years, alarm bells have been rung in the valley over the decline of Kashmiri, as the younger generation is less enthused by it. However, recently released data on mother tongues in the 2011 census presents a glimmer of hope for the beleaguered language. It shows Kashmiri is the second fastest growing language in the country.
This research is corroborated by valley based experts who believe the new generation is making "conscious efforts to learn the mother-tongue" as the realization of it being a "symbol of identity" has set in. This is set to counter the decline faced by the language over the years.
Linguistic experts, attribute the decline of their mother tongue-Kashmiri-over the years to deliberate policies followed through the centuries by foreign invaders to decimate the mother tongue in favor of other languages, such as Sanskrit, Persian, Urdu, and English. The lackadaisical approach by successive governments did not help either. However recent efforts by government including making language compulsory at school, and offering it at college level has led to a revival of sorts.
The data from the census bears this out. "Kashmiri (22.97%), Gujarat (20.4%), Manipuri (20.07%), and Bengali (16.63%) are the second, third and fourth fastest growing languages, respectively," says the new census data.
Noted Kashmir poet and cultural activist, Zareef Ahmad Zareef said, "I believe the declining trend has been reversed by making language as a mandatory part in school and college curriculum. This is the first step where children are getting properly familiar with their mother tongue."
He said, "Any community is identified by their language and this belief is slowly dawning upon our younger generation. Be it writings, poetry or music, youth is making conscious efforts to revive the native language through these mediums."
The poet stressed that literature of Kashmiri language is older than some of the international languages, including English. "The quality of Kashmiri literature is rich taking into consideration the thousands of years of rich culture and history of the valley. Hence, collective efforts should be made to preserve the language."
Zareef suggested, "Apart from including it in the academia, we as individuals should try to interact with our dear ones using our mother tongue. Socializing in person and trying to eat in family gatherings are the best opportunities to give the language a new lease of life."
Salim Saliq, Editor Urdu at J & K Cultural Academy opines, "From a literary point of view, post-modern world has seen the revival of things that went unnoticed. Among them were the regional languages."
He said, "The budding writers are now taking to Kashmiri. They are showing their interest in reading the Kashmiri literature in depth."
Saliq believes, "Earlier speaking in Kashmiri was considered as something embarrassing but now the things are changing. The younger generation is coming forward to learn the language as they are realizing that it carries their identity, spirituality and value system."
Dr. Aziz Hajni, Secretary, J&K Cultural Academy said, "The language shows a revival because we realized long back that including it in the academics is not the only way out. We actively involved civil society in our efforts to preserve the language. These included members from every walk of life."
Hajni asserts, "When posterity will consider the language as a symbol of dignity and status, you will see the it flourish."

New Delhi, Jul 16: Pakistan opened its airspace for all civilian traffic on Tuesday morning, sources said, effectively removing the ban on Indian flights that were not allowed to use majority of its airspace since the Balakot air strikes in February.
The move is expected to give a major relief to Air India, which suffered a huge financial loss of around Rs 491 crore as it had to re-route its various international flights due to the closure of the Pakistan airspace.
"Pakistan has permitted all airlines to fly through its airspace from around 12.41 am today. Indian airline operators will start using normal routes through Pakistan airspace soon," the sources told PTI.
Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority issued a notice to airmen (NOTAM) at around 12.41 am Indian Standard Time, stating that "with immediate effect Pakistan airspace is open for all type of civil traffic on published ATS (air traffic service) routes".
Pakistan had fully closed its airspace on February 26 after the Indian Air Force (IAF) struck a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) training camp in Balakot in retaliation to the Pulwama attack on February 14. Since then, the neighbouring country had only opened two routes, both of them passing through the southern region, of the total 11.
On its part, the IAF had announced on May 31 that all temporary restrictions imposed on the Indian airspace post the Balakot strike had been removed. However, it did not benefit most of the commercial airliners and they were waiting for Pakistan to fully open its airspace.
In India, the biggest pain was suffered by Air India that conducts various international flights from Delhi to Europe and the US.
The national carrier had lost Rs 491 crore till July 2 due to the closure of the Pakistan airspace. Private airlines SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir lost Rs 30.73 crore, Rs 25.1 crore and Rs 2.1 crore, respectively, according to the data presented by Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in the Rajya Sabha on July 3.
Post the air strike, Air India had to re-route, merge or suspend many of its international flights that connect India with European and US cities.
IndiGo, India's largest airline by domestic market share, was unable to start direct flights from Delhi to Istanbul due to the closure of the Pakistan airspace.
The low-cost carrier started the Delhi-Istanbul flight in March. Till date, this IndiGo flight had to take the longer route over the Arabian Sea and make a stop at Doha in Qatar for refueling.

Srinagar, Jul 16: Uncertainty looms large over the implementation of 10 per cent quota for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in NEET for J&K students.
On June 20, Jammu and Kashmir government approved the reservation (second amendment) bill incorporating 103rd Amendment of the Indian constitution to provide 10 percent reservation to economically weaker sections in jobs and educational institutions.
The amendment will provide for 10 percent reservation to Economically Weaker Sections in educational institutions and direct recruitment in civil posts and services not covered under the scheme of the reservation for SCs, STs, and OBCs.
However the authorities are yet to issue a notification for its implementation in NEET. The reservation was not considered in the first round of counseling. Clouds of uncertainty looms large over the second round of counseling as well.
"Medical Council of India and Dental Council of India also granted approval for additional 85 MBBS and 26 BDS seats. However the state government is not issuing notification regarding its implementation which has put the career of students at stake," said Malik Sujad, a NEET candidate.
Principal Secretary Health and Medical Education, Atal Dullo told The Kashmir Monitor that they have succeeded in getting additional seats allotted from the Medical Council of India.
"Amending rules for EWS has to be done by the social welfare department. After the social welfare department notifies the rules, Board of Professional Entrance Examination will consider those for counseling," said Dullo.
"It will take time. We will consider EWS in counseling, once we get a nod from Social welfare and parliament," he added.
Centre proposes to scrap NEET-PG
New Delhi, Jul 16: In a relief to medical students wanting to pursue post-graduate courses, the Union Health Ministry has proposed to do away with NEET-PG and instead the final MBBS examination results would be prerequisite for admission to MD and MS programmes.
The amendment has been incorporated in the revised draft National Medical Commission (NMC) Bill which would be sent to the Cabinet soon, official sources told PTI.
According to them, the changes have been incorporated in the bill on the directions of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
"According to the amendments made in the fresh NMC Bill, entry into the PG programmes will be on the basis of the results of the National Exit Test (NEXT), which would be held as a common exam across the country. So the candidates would not have to appear in a separate exam after clearing the MBBS final exam for admission to PG courses," the source explained.
The students would also not be required to appear in a separate exam after MBBS to obtain a license to practice.
However, for admission to PG programmes at AIIMS, clearing a separate exam will remain mandatory. Also, the NEET Super Speciality, which is a national-level entrance exam for admission in DM/MCh courses, will continue, sources said.
Every year 80,000 students take admission into MBBS courses in about 480 medical colleges in the country, while 1.5 lakh students appear for entrance exams for admission to around 50,000 PG seats.
The NMC Bill was introduced in Parliament in December 2017, but it lapsed with the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha.
After its introduction in the lower house in 2017, the Bill, which aims to replace the Medical Council of India Act, 1956 and included the contentious provision of a "bridge course" to allow practitioners of alternative medicines to pursue allopathy, was referred to a Department-Related Parliamentary Standing Committee following massive protests from the medical fraternity.
The first version of the Bill also proposed a national-level licentiate exam for all MBBS graduates for getting licence to practice in India.
But it was removed following strong protests by several doctor bodies.
The provision of the 'bridge course' was also strongly opposed by health bodies, including the Indian Medical Association, which claimed that allowing AYUSH doctors to practice modern medicine would promote "quackery", although the ministry had argued that the provision seeks to address the "acute shortage" of doctors in the country.
The parliamentary panel gave its recommendations in March 2018, following which the Health Ministry scrapped the provision of 'bridge course and also made some other changes as suggested by the committee before moving the official amendments in the Lok Sabha.
"It has been left to state governments to take necessary measures for addressing and promoting primary healthcare in rural areas," the amendment stated and also made the punishment for unauthorised practice of medicine more severe with imprisonment of up to one year along with a fine of up to Rs 5 lakh.

Srinagar, Jul 16: In an astonishing development, doctors Tuesday managed to successfully remove a 25 kg cyst from the ovary of an elderly woman in south Kashmir's Anantnag district.
The remarkable surgery was accomplished by Dr Azad Malik and his team at Al Hayat, a private nursing home in the district.
The patient, a 72-year-old woman who hails from Kulgam's Kund area, had visited the doctor for consultation at Dr Malik's clinic last week.
"She was complaining of abdomen pain, breathlessness and difficulty in walking. Ultra-sonography conducted on the patient revealed a huge mass in her ovary," news portal The Kashmir Press quoted the doctor saying.
"The patient was operated on Monday and a giant cyst was removed from her ovary. The cyst weighted about 25 kg," Dr Malik told The Kashmir Press.
He, as per the report, said the cyst weighed more than the weight of a five year old child.
"The cyst was spread from lower abdomen to lungs and patient was living with it for the last two years," Dr Malik said.
"It was a tough procedure. Patient during the surgery had suffered some cardiac issues but we handled it with all the care. The patient is recovering normally," he said.
Earlier in 2016, Dr Malik, who is considered as one of the best laparoscopic surgeon in Kashmir, had removed 22 kg ovarian cyst from 16 year girl at district hospital Anantnag.
In 2015, he had performed Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), a rare surgery, on a male patient at district hospital Anantnag.

The Australian Rugby Union has locked away one of Rugby's best young talents with NSW Waratahs lock Will Skelton signing a new two-year contract extension.
Skelton is one of the rising stars of Australian Rugby and at just 22 years of age has already earned eight Test caps for the Qantas Wallabies and has made 39 Super Rugby appearances.
The giant lock, who took up Rugby as a 15-year-old at The Hills Sports High School in Western Sydney, will continue his career with the Waratahs and his re-signing has provided a significant long-term boost to Australian Rugby's forward stocks.
"You need to have high standards for yourself and I've been working extremely hard throughout the year to work on all areas of my game to make me a complete 80 minute player.
Skelton also said the opportunity to continue to push for a Qantas Wallabies jersey had enormous appeal.
"I can't speak highly enough my experiences with Wallabies," he said. "I can assure you I'll be doing everything in my power to gain selection once again.
"We've got so many great players in Australia, and it was a really special time to be part of the group. Once you've tasted it, it's something you definitely want more of.
"The group has come together really well over the past two weeks and the support since arriving in Brisbane has been enormous. We are expecting a very loud and passionate crowd at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night to bring us home."
At 140kg, Skelton is one of the powerhouse forwards in Australian Rugby, yet displays incredible stamina to often play the entire 80 minutes in Super Rugby.
He has enjoyed a meteoric rise since making his Super Rugby debut in 2013 and was an integral part of the Waratahs team which won their maiden Super Rugby title in 2014.
He also enjoyed one of the most hyped Test debuts since Israel Folau and lived up the billing with a stellar performance in Australia's 39-13 victory over France in the third Test in Sydney last year.
In that game, Skelton scored the game's opening try and also setup his Waratahs teammate Israel Folau in a devastating 56-minute performance.


Now that you've read the previous blogs on being 'tired all the time' (TATT), hopefully they've shed some light on the how and the why. In this blog we look at what YOU can do about it to make sure you're not left stranded in the cul-de-sac of TATT and low-grade inflammation (LGI). This is where you make your U-turn and get back on the road to resilience and health!
Ensure you get 6-8 hours quality sleep every night. Men need a bit less sleep than women do, but still, 6 hours is on the low side. Too much sleep, i.e. over 9 hours, can be just as bad as too little sleep, so aim for the right amount. You can't scrimp all week and then expect one lie-in at the weekend to compensate.
Remember that we're built for famine and not for feast — our protective mechanisms in the body turn on with fasting and off if we stuff ourselves continuously through the day. We just don't need as much food as we've been led to believe we need. Streamline your eating to 3 good, quality, meals a day and cut out the snacks. You can balance your blood sugar much more effectively by cutting out the starchy refined carbs and upping your protein and healthy fat levels. Our cell walls are made up of protein and good fats, so if they're not in our diet in sufficient quantity, then every cell in the body suffers. A no-carb protein like Nuzest's Clean Lean Protein can be very useful as an on-the-go shake. Mix it with half coconut milk and half water to make you feel fuller for longer. Take a look at this food plate by the Alliance for Natural Health International, it's been designed to address LGI and bring a return to metabolic resilience.
Use extra virgin olive oil on your salads and veggies. It contains an active ingredient called hydroxytyrosol, which is not only one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man, but it also helps create new mitrochondria – the energy powerhouses in your cells. If you're suffering from TATT, your mitochondria need a lot of TLC and as many new buddies as you can make!
Guess what? Exercise also helps make new mitochondria, but don't overdo it if you're TATT. When you feel like it, get out and do what you can. Being in nature is way better for your body than being indoors so swap the treadmill for the forest and get your bare feet on the ground as much as you can, for as long as you can.
Take honest and truthful stock of your emotional life. If you're carrying a 'backpack' full of sorrows, regrets or fears you need to lighten the load so that your immune system knows the sabre-toothed tiger has been vanquished and it can stand down. Emotional pain, stress and anxiety have the same effect on our immune systems as an infection. It's a wound of a different kind, but it still needs healing so that our 'engine' doesn't have to idle so high. Look into relaxation and mindfulness techniques or you may want to see a practitioner for some more focussed support.
The same can be said for having a head full of toxic, negative, thoughts and being surrounded by people that don't feed you with the right positive energy. If this resonates with you then it's time to clean house, in more ways than one.
As a rule it's always food first. Get your nutrition right and you body will reward you. If you're suffering with TATT you can be sure that you'll have a level of low-grade inflammation running in the background, so it's best not to fuel the fire anymore. Make a pact with yourself that you're going to cut out the two main food allergens that can drive inflammation and autoimmune conditions — gluten and dairy — for at least 8 weeks, 12 or more is better. You're meant to be off starchy, refined carbs anyway so the gluten shouldn't be such a problem!
Last, but absolutely not least, add in a targeted body-ready, food matrix supplement like Good Green Stuff to your daily regime. Did you know that Good Green Stuff has been formulated to feed into our energy cascade and support all 12-body systems, as well as being chock-full of powerful antioxidants?

Q: ASP.NET Core 6 ReactJS Web App on Linux has issues with IDX10634: Unable to create the SignatureProvider I have deployed an ASP.NET 6 solution based on the ASP.NET 6 ReactJS template into a Linux CentOS/Apache hosting environment.
According to the error message provided below, It seems I need to alter the algorithm for the signature provider, yet I am at a loss of how exactly to do this.
System.NotSupportedException: IDX10634: Unable to create the SignatureProvider.
Algorithm: 'RS256', SecurityKey: 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SecurityKey, KeyId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx', InternalId: 'xxxxxxx'.' is not supported. The list of supported algorithms is available here: https://aka.ms/IdentityModel/supported-algorithms

I have found several FAQs indicating to use ECDSA or similar instead, but no real examples of how exactly to implement this within my type of solution with examples of modifications in Program.cs or similar.
I would appreciate any tips of thoughts on this!
Thanks in advance!

A: You can use OpenSSL to create your own ECDSA key using:
#Create P256 ECDSA Private key
openssl genpkey -algorithm EC -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:P-256 -aes256 -out p256-private.pem

# Optionally, if you want to extract the public key:
openssl ec -in p256-private.pem -pubout -out p256-public.pe

# Create certificat file
openssl req -new -x509 -key p256-private-key.pem -days 365 -subj "/CN=MyP256Cert" -out p256-cert.crt

# Crete the PFX file
openssl req -new -x509 -key p256-private-key.pem -days 365 -subj "/CN=MyP256Cert" -out p256-cert.crt

Then you can load it in C# using:
var ecdsaCert = new X509Certificate2("es256.pfx", "password");
SecurityKey ecdsaPrivateKey = new ECDsaSecurityKey(ecdsaCert.GetECDsaPrivateKey());

You can add it to IdentityServer using something like this:
// Add ES256 (ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256)
builder.AddSigningCredential(GetECDsaPrivateKey(p256Cert), IdentityServerConstants.ECDsaSigningAlgorithm.ES256);


If you thought like I do that the Church might be gone in the next few months or years what would you want to tell people? I've thought long and hard about this and I keep coming back to the Gospel. Ultimately, all of our Christianity, biblical knowledge, and prophecy study is worthless if we don't believe the Good News.
The Apostle Paul made clear that Jesus' literal resurrection is what gives our faith its power. If Jesus did not rise again then we are still dead in our sins and hopeless - our faith is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:12-19). Yet while it is the resurrection that gives our faith its power, it is the atonement of Christ that gives our faith its substance (Galatians 2:20-3:29; 1 Corinthians 1:18, 21, 23, 2:2, 15:3).
What is the Atonement? It is when Christ died for our sins just as 1 Corinthians 15:3 says. He became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21) and bore our sin itself on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). As the final atoning sacrifice for sin Jesus became the perfect and final fulfillment of all the sacrificial types and shadows in the Old Testament (Hebrews 1:3, 10:11-12; Colossians 2:16-17; 1 John 2:2). Paul calls belief in the Atonement "of first importance" in the Christian faith.
"Jesus died for our sins" sounds like elementary Christian knowledge, right? When I share this belief with people I usually get a yawn or a "yeah, yeah, got it" in response. Yet even though it is such a simple and foundational doctrine, it is attacked, ridiculed, and twisted more than any other Christian belief. If you've studied Church history you'll quickly recognize that it is differing views of the Atonement that are the root cause for most denominational splits.
People have always wondered why Christianity has so many sects and divisions - probably more than every other world religion combined. If Christianity is true why is there so much division and how do you know which denomination is right?
Now that I've been teaching for several years, I've come to realize that the Atonement is the dividing line within Christianity. It is belief in or lack of belief in the Atonement that divides the truly saved from those who merely profess faith (James 2:14).
Proponents of works-righteousness within Christianity as well as unbelievers in other religions reject true Christianity in the same way: they reject the Atonement and therefore they reject the Gospel. And not only them, but also those within Christianity who have twisted God's grace into universalism or as mere toleration of varying beliefs and behaviors.
If you personally believe and accept this Good News then you're in. You've made it aboard the Ark. The Holy Spirit has come and indwelt you and your own spirit has been made new. When Christ appears again your body will be made new, as well.
Notice also that the Gospel as defined in 1 Corinthians 15 is not just belief in "Jesus". It is belief in "Christ". Romans 10 adds "Lord". It is one thing to believe that a Jewish man named Jesus lived and died two thousand years ago. It is another thing to believe that Jewish man is the Anointed One sent by God to be your personal Savior and Lord.
We like to pick on liberal Christianity and rightfully so, for that group calls good "evil" and evil "good", twists and maligns God's Word, and denies the necessity of the Gospel. In so doing, they promote homosexuality, abortion, and every form of licentiousness as acceptable behavior to God. They also teach varying degrees of universalism since they've rejected the need for atonement.
But don't forget the other extreme: the hordes of Christians-in-name-only who give lip service to Christ and appear righteous on the outside, but never really believed or accepted the Good News. A few of these are even well known in the Bible prophecy community. Their standard for salvation is something other than Christ and Him crucified and so, unbeknownst to them, they are in just as dire a spiritual situation as are those outside of Christianity. They believe in themselves, their performance, and their own "good deeds", not realizing that they are full of hypocrisy, pride, and self-righteousness.
I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, 'I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing', not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.
Believers are permanently sealed until the day of redemption and have nothing to fear (John 6:39-40, Ephesians 4:30, Romans 8:1-4, 1 John 5:13), but unbelievers have never known God, hence why Jesus asks them to let Him come in. There are the obvious unbelievers who don't name the Name of Christ and then there are the less obvious ones that sometimes sit on the pew next to you and pride themselves on their religiosity. Salvation costs nothing but your pride, so please, for the sake of your souls, repent.
These people who name God's Name offer their own works as satisfaction, but like Cain who offered the fruit of his labor as an offering, they will be rejected. What is the will of Jesus' Father in Heaven?
In summary, liberal "Christians" and works-righteousness "Christians" reject the Gospel in the same exact way: they deny their personal need for Christ's atoning sacrifice.
Turn back and board the Ark. Time is up. Today is the day of salvation. Repent.
Amen and IT IS FINISHED.
And I add my Amen and Amen.
This looks like a good place to toss out my favorite Bible verse!
Thank you Gary! He certainly did poured Himself out on the ground for us!
[Col 1:20 KJV] And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.
Here is a Biblical Doctrine of Blood Atonement youtube video. This guy does a good job of white boarding it out so that the Atonement really makes sense. My family really enjoyed it and it has been such a blessing to understand this better.
All I can do is say that I am sorry for the things that He doesn't like and give thanks forever!
[Psalm 30:12] That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
[1Th 2:13] For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
[Lev 17:11 KJV] For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
He is my Lord Jesus Christ for ever and ever, AMEN!
Ephesians and Colossians... both great Scriptures. Paul knew law and grace and how to rightly divide them.
That is one of may favorite classics. Amen and amen.
Have any of you ever heard of the now passed away Ron Wyatt, who claimed to have found the Ark of the Covenant?
He said it was likely hidden in a cave during the seige of Jerusalem, where it sat for several hundred years, before an earthquake cause a rend above it and the blood of the lamb of God poured down from the Messiah's spear pierced side, directly onto the mercy seat!
Could he have really found it right under the crucifixion site? ... and turned it over the the Israelites, who did not want him to show evidence of the finding... I don't know, but his Noah Ark find looked real to me, so that lends credibility in my eyes.
I watched the entire series of videos about this claim.
It is so astonishing, that I could definitely see God, causing an series of events, of placement, earthquake, cracks in solid rock to make IT SO!
But I also take the entire tale with a "grain of salt" -- because Ron's discovery happened way back in the 1980's -- and no one else has been able to repeat those discoveries.
The Holy Spirit had me start with the book of Revelation, then I had no idea why, but it's all so clear now.
It was for the prophecy, for in it I would find the truth, including becoming a witness on the wall,which can be very lonely.Now with all of the Rev.12 Intel I do not think it a coincidence that I had picked this verse as my favorite, and even after finishing the bible it remains my favorite...it was picked for me. Rev.12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
For that is all I have left,is the testimony our Father gave me, and the great humbling He put me through.
Now very often the humblest parts of the Bible are the most profound. You see, if read it in the context of Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8-10, James 2:10, Isaiah 64:6, and especially Luke 18:9-14, you see that ANY sin is enough to condemn you to hell, and that it is a pass/fail thing, because it isn't that you sinned more or less than the next guy, it's that you have fallen short og the glory of God.
It was a theme Jesus constantly illustrated and re-illustrated. We are all sinners, guilty of breaking the whole Law. The woman in Luke 7:36-50 was forgiven of the same degree of sin as the Pharisee was blind to in his own life. Thus the Laodiceans in Revelation 3 needed "salve for their eyes" because they thought they were righteous because of their works and wealth! They were as blind as Simon the Pharisee.
"you see that ANY sin is enough to condemn you to hell, and that it is a pass/fail thing, because it isn't that you sinned more or less than the next guy, it's that you have fallen short og the glory of God.
It was a theme Jesus constantly illustrated and re-illustrated. We are all sinners, guilty of breaking the whole Law."
Bingo! And that summarizes the purpose of the law: to show us our great need for Christ.
The Temple Institute states it know where the ark of the covenant is, I'm not sure if that is what Ron Wyatt was also speaking of. But it is likely underground in the passages beneath the temple site.
"This location is recorded in our sources, and today, there are those who know exactly where this chamber is. And we know that the ark is still there, undisturbed, and waiting for the day when it will be revealed. An attempt was made some few years ago to excavate towards the direction of this chamber. This resulted in widespread Moslem unrest and rioting. They stand a great deal to lose if the Ark is revealed - for it will prove to the whole world that there really was a Holy Temple, and thus, that the Jews really do have a claim to the Temple Mount. (The official position of the Islamic Wakf, the body that governs over the Temple Mount, is that there never was a Holy Temple, and that the Jews have no rights whatsoever to the place)."
AMEN! PREACH IT BROTHER GARY!!!
Spread the message, sister in Christ. The days are few.
I am shouting from the roof tops and I pray someone...anyone is listening.
I accidentally realized that the Rev. 12 sign is happening just now in the sky when I started to reread Revelation several months ago, so I managed to get more information about it. Regretfully, it's really hard to find materials in Chinese (I lived in Taipei, Taiwan.) about this topic. Seems scared by the failed end-time prophecies from 1998、2012 to 2015、2016. Even in my church, no one is talking about these. I felt depressed and lonely until I found Unsealed.
Every morning when i click on Unsealed link,I just want to express my thanks to you all who share information on this site.
Grateful to hear from you and am glad you find our site encouraging. Please pray for us and please pray we have godly discernment and spiritual wisdom to rightly divide the Word.
Keep on! Your works had encouraged me, and might encourage more others around world.
In the interest of factual accuracy it might be worth mentioning that, beyond general categories like pantheist vs. not pantheist, Hinduism actually has numerous divisions that can't even agree on, say, which god created the universe. Brahma is merely the most common answer. There has also been a lot of oneupmanship between the sects over the years, so that while once Indra being the king of the gods, like Zeus, was enough for supremacy, now there are people saying that while Brahma created the universe, another god created *all* the universes, and *above that* is the Krishna whom the sect worships. Most Hindus however would say that Krishna is only an incarnation of Brahma, much like that malformed calf whose birth and death was in the news recently. Incidentally, this kind of thing also makes Biblical stories look less impressive in comparison, which I suppose could be the point.
Wonderful article. It's not the fruit of our labour but Christ' s sacrifice alone that can save us.
Hey sister Annabel, you raise a good point, but I don't think we're saying two different things. I think we're pretty much on the same page. I added an addendum to the article - search above for "Listen carefully to what I'm saying here".
"Sinner's prayers" and "altar calls" have no power to save anyone. They are just works - as you say.
Present active tense, ongoing, relational, loyal belief is what allows us to be saved through Christ's blood.
But once we add one thing to Gospel it is no longer the Gospel. The Gospel + anything = nothing. Jesus does the saving, but we must believe in Him to the end.
The only slight thing I disagree on though is your statistic. I've studied lots of surveys, statistics, and Barna studies and there are definitely not billions of people who think they've made a decision for the gospel. In the United States, for example, recent studies show that greater than half of all self-identified Christian believe they are saved by their own works and efforts. Clearly they don't believe the Gospel. Yet, the Christians who believe they are saved apart from their works are the most theologically conservative and active members in their faith (in other words, the ones who believe in salvation through the Gospel + nothing are the ones who are the most anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, biggest tithers, most active in missions, etc). The fruit of their theology is evident.
The Christians who are typically the least active in their faith and more politically liberal are many mainline Protestants and cultural Catholics (both of which are largely works-based). This also includes the Christian universalists, inclusionists, etc.
[Jhn 3:12 KJV] 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
[Jhn 3:16 KJV] 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[1Co 1:21 KJV] For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
[Gal 3:22 KJV] 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
[1Th 4:14 KJV] 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[2Th 1:10 KJV] 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.
[1Ti 1:16 KJV] 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
[1Ti 4:10 KJV] 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
[1Jo 5:13 KJV] 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
[2Th 2:10-12 KJV] 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[Jas 2:19 KJV] 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
There are more, but here is a small listing.
This subject is such a blast! Thanks Gary and Annebel! And there truly will be a "Blast" soon a "Horn Blast"!
Not the same as acknowledging God as creator, God as LORD, Christ as the only way in and surrendering/submitting to His Lordship in your life.
Of course none of us surrender and submit well and it is this that causes us to need to be very careful where trying to set the line.
Faith of a mustard seed will do.
Much debate in Christendom about what is the minimum standard for salvation. Sad really that there's so little talk of what "all in" (poured out like a drink offering as Paul said) looks like.
Most stand on the safety of the beach with Ephesians 2:8-9 or Acts 2:38/Mark 16:16 beach umbrellas in hand, without really moving into the depths of life in Christ.
Often I am torn apart with the overwhelming knowledge of my depravity and the unfathomable riches of His grace. When I keep my estimation of myself very low and my awe at the wonders of His love, praise just comes flowing out, my life changes, the friends around me change and joy is abundant.
NOT that they believe in Jesus Christ -- and His accomplishments!
Belief in God -- is NOT the same thing as believing Jesus Christ was the Lamb of God who took away our sins by His Death, Burial, and Resurrection.
Jewish people and Muslim people believe in ONE God.
In fact one Jewish Guy I tried to witness too .... threw in my face that Christian's worship multiple Gods -- because of their confusion with the Trinity.


Cremation has become increasingly popular as an option to handle the final remains. When you finally settle on this option for the departed, finding a reputable cremation provider is a major responsibility. You need to know a lot of details about the cremation and funeral services offered by a provider.
Ask for the inclusions and exclusions of products and services in the pricing as different providers have different solutions.
Request for the price list of services and products as they are bound by law to give them. This will allow for price comparison while selecting a provider.
Ask for the referrals to check about the quality of services, products, and the reputation.
Check whether the price quoted is the final price as add-ons for incidental services can inflate the budget..
Enquire about the on-site cemetery. In the absence of one, the body will be transferred to a third party provider and you will need to check their credentials.
Enquire about the remembrance center for products like caskets, urns, keepsakes etc. and their price list.
Ensure the easy availability of the cremation provider on phone and on the internet as there are always last minute issues you need to clarify.
Request for a tour of the cremation facility to judge its cleanliness and maintenance standards.
These queries will help you to arrive at an informed decision in choosing a cremation provider. This will also enable a competitive and flexible cremation package that suits the family budget.
Asking these questions and some more that you feel are relevant is one way to ensure that your loved one gets the best care available. If you want to know more about our services, contact us at Ocean County Cremation Service today. We'll be happy to help.

In a world where animals no longer exist, twelve-year-old Kester Jaynes sometimes feels like he hardly exists either. Locked away in a home for troubled children, he's told there's something wrong with him. So when he meets a flock of talking pigeons and a bossy cockroach, Kester thinks he's finally gone a bit mad.
The pigeons fly Kester to a wild place where the last creatures in the land have survived. A wise stag needs Kester's help, and together they must embark on a great journey, joined along the way by an over-enthusiastic wolf-cub, a spoilt show-cat, a dancing harvest mouse and a stubborn girl named Polly.
The animals saved Kester Jaynes. But can Kester save the animals?

Australia risks withdrawing state support at own peril
The legacy of the Australian bushfires and the shock of the Covid-19 pandemic are solid ground on which to build a new consensus that deficits are not nefarious
03 June 2020 - 16:53 Daniel Moss
Sydney, Australia. Picture: THINKSTOCK
Australia went into the coronavirus calamity with an economic record that was the envy of the world — a three-decade run without a recession. Now there's a risk that any strong recovery will give policymakers a false sense of security. This would be a grave misreading of the situation. The worst decision they can make would be withdrawing government support too quickly.
The damage from the lockdown is staggering. Bloomberg Economics expects GDP could drop 6% in 2020, and doesn't see activity returning to pre-virus levels for a couple of years. This pain is nowhere more evident than in the labour market: more people lost their jobs in April than any other month on record.
The jobless rate would have been even higher if not for the droves of people no longer looking for work. Government figures on Wednesday showed a slide in GDP in the first quarter, making a recession a certainty, given the collapse of activity in the current quarter. The central bank anticipates unemployment will climb to double-digits. And while acknowledging some signs of improvement this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia was adamant that stimulus will be required well into the future.
RBA governor Philip Lowe has been doing his part. He kept the benchmark interest rate near zero on Tuesday and reiterated a pledge to buy enough government debt to keep the yield on the three-year bond at 0.25%. It's a measure of the programme's success and the stabilisation of markets that the central bank could dramatically taper its bond purchases in May.
This form of quantitative easing, known as yield curve control, was speedily enacted in March when Covid-19 cascaded through the world economy and financial markets buckled.
The efficacy of the RBA's vigorous emergency measures will be greatly weakened, however, if fiscal policy doesn't follow. The labour market will be particularly vulnerable. Lowe probably had temporary employer- and wage-subsidy programmes in mind when late in May he practically begged legislators not to turn off the tap hastily.
The federal government and related agencies have undertaken steps valued at about $260bn, or about 13% of GDP. Yet the dominant strain in Australian governments, across political aisles but especially within Prime Minister Scott Morrison's centre-right coalition, has long been that deficits are bad and surpluses the mark of good housekeeping. That thinking was just starting to evolve before the pandemic and will need to continue, as Lowe acknowledged in his testimony.
Fiscal policy will have to play a more significant role in managing the economic cycle than it has in the past. For the last 20 years, monetary policy has been the mainstream instrument ... in the next little while there's not going to be very much scope at all to use monetary policy in that way. So I think fiscal policy will have to be used, and that's going to require a change in mindset.
It will be the government, not the RBA, that will bear the brunt of public opprobrium for any stinginess. Right now, it's sensible to err on the side of doing too much. One reason for the sluggish recovery from the global financial crisis was the austerity imposed in the US and Europe when activity first began expanding. The world's GDP shrank less than 1% in 2009; the IMF forecasts a dive of 3% in 2020. Its revisions, expected in a few weeks, are unlikely to be positive.
Bear in mind, too, that with interest rates this low, governments can fund themselves cheaply. In May, Australia borrowed $19 billion for 10 years at a rate of about 1%. Suggestions from treasurer Josh Frydenberg that fresh stimulus is on the way, this time for the construction industry, are encouraging. Noises about too much debt, less so.
Morrison and his ministers have an opportunity to redefine the way Australians think about the role of the state. The legacy of the devastating bushfires earlier in 2020 and the shock of the pandemic are sturdy ground on which to build a new consensus that deficits aren't nefarious and an activist state can be warranted.
For his part, Lowe is right to encourage them. As heroic as monetary authorities have been, they will have to dig deeper still if the government flees the scene. Lowe has skin in the game.

Winning Souls in South Korea
Christian MARKETGlobal
Books are still the biggest tool for introducing people to Jesus.
South Korea-based Urim Books exists to help unbelievers accept Jesus Christ and to increase and deepen the faith of current believers. Given Urim's current and future endeavors, they are indeed on their way to becoming the most influential and prominent publisher in South Korea.
According to CEO Kyungtae Noh, "We will continue to strive to publish our books in as many languages and countries as possible, and to lead as many souls as possible to salvation." Toward this end, they also have an office in New York, Urim Books USA Inc.
Even though the number of Christians seems to be on a decline in South Korea, according to Noh books remain both the area of biggest opportunity and the most popular Christian product. "In South Korea, usually the best-sellers have been the books of the most famous revivalists or the pastors of the biggest churches in Korea or famous American authors like Joel Osteen and Rick Warren. Today, with the help of Christian TV channels, we see that those pastors who are most popular in the TV ministry also sell the most number of books as well."
CREATION, PUBLICATION, AND DISTRIBUTION
South Korea is home to approximately 150 Christian publishers. Christian books are usually compilations of sermons by famous South Korean pastors or works by American writers translated into Korean.
As far as distribution, Noh says internet bookstores have taken over, especially since shipment of products takes only a couple of days at the most, anywhere in the country with the exception of some relatively remote islands.
"Until several years ago, there were many Christian bookstores selling only Christian books, stationery, and other Christianrelated items. As is the case with most countries, however, bookstores went out of business with the advent of the internet bookstores," he explains.
Today, Christian books are mostly sold online at Kyobo bookstore and Young Poong Bookstore. There is also Yes24, which is solely an online bookstore.
Urim Books primarily works with in-country authors and has translated or is translating books of Korean writers into 75 languages. "Many Korean authors have been published in other countries as well and we are trying to expand our overseas publishing," says Noh. "The more well-known the author, the easier it is to distribute their books."
He says that secularism is an ever-growing challenge to believers in Korea. "There is a growing trend and attempt to ignore God's Word about sin and hell. This trend, which misleads the believers into thinking sinning is okay as long as you superficially repent of your wrongdoings, leads to less interest in the Word of God."
Urim Books sees that broadcasting has a significant impact on the distribution of books. Therefore, they're looking to find ways to encourage authors to either start a broadcast ministry or increase their current broadcast ministry through TV and radio.
"If the viewers are blessed by the messages on TV or radio, it is much more likely that they will also purchase the books of the same pastor. And through books they can learn the Word of God in more depth and in a more systematic way."

Our Holyrood Pink botanical recipe is at least 50% juniper, with no less than 19g of botanicals in each of our 50 cl bottles. We bottle at 39% ABV which we believe provides the best flavour delivery for the floral top notes and sweet berry fresh fruit. Fruity, floral and perfumed. Deliciously deluxe.
With our Pink Gin I have started from a blank sheet with a base spirit that balances a delicate floral top note (and pink colouration provided in the final maceration of hibiscus and rose petals) with the spice and fresh citrus delivered by pink peppercorns and fresh pink grapefruit peel. I decided that tempering and adding richness to the bright front end with a hint of sweetness and fruitiness was best delivered by using fresh Perthshire raspberries. Again, our spiritual trinity (juniper, coriander and angelica) provides a classic backbone to the gin, ensuring it holds up to mixing with a range of tonics.
