Yet, we all have the power to create a joyous life, to grow, and to build the confidence to move beyond our limiting beliefs and unhealthy habits. But often we simply do not know how.
For many years I was a high performance manager, juggling professional and personal demands, feeling that the daily pressures were taking a toll on my health and decision making.
I started to look for solutions and discovered Coaching and the Art of Living. Participating in the Happiness programs was my first step towards developing new habits and mindsets, which would in time, increase my well being, happiness and resilience.
I realised then, that all we need are the right set of tools AND the determination to take a few hours out of our busy lives, to step back and learn how to better deal with our body, mind and emotions. This was my catalist to becoming an Art of Living teacher. Since 2010 I am facilitating the Art of Living Happiness Program and have seen so many positive changes in people from all walks of lives.
So, if you too feel that you could benefit from a set of tools that will help you with reducing stress and anxiety and to live with more joy, purpose and confidence then register to participate in this Happiness program today.
Plus: follow up meetings are available.
Registration closes on Oct 26.

Founded over 125 years ago, Anita is an exclusive German company that has been making premium underwear to fit and flatter the female shape.
Once you've tried Anita, you'll never want to go back. From gorgeous lingerie and shapewear, to nursing bras and mastectomy recovery pieces, Anita is a company who really understands the importance of high quality underwear.
It all began in Dresden in 1886, when this family business first began manufacturing body belts and braces. They went on to produce corsets in the 1920s and 30s, and, after surviving World War II, the company was re-imagined by Dr Christine Weber-Unger.
Dr Christine saw the value in creating underwear that went above and beyond the normal expectations for lingerie. As well as looking incredible, she felt that each piece in the Anita range should be made with comfort and function at the forefront of the design process. Anita was one of the first underwear brands to create pieces with special features for pregnant women and those in breast surgery recovery.
Towards the end of the 20th Century, Anita began to expand beyond Germany, and since become an established brand across the globe in France, England, the Czech Republic, Austria and Portugal, with new and innovative designs being developed all the time.
At NeedUndies, we love Anita. We're proud to stock a brand with such a rich history and a reputation for excellent underwear - and our customers love it too.
Discover comfort like never before, and browse our collection of Anita lingerie today. We stock a wide selection of items from the Anita Rosa Faia, Anita Comfort, Anita Active, Anita Care and Anita Maternity range.
We also stock bras in the Anita Mastectomy range. For more advice, contact us today and get friendly, professional advice from one of our two retired nurses who work alongside us.


For the second time, Kunsthal Extra City, in partnership with the Middelheim Museum, is creating a platform for discussion in which we cast a critical eye on the contemporary significance of monuments.
This second edition raises questions surrounding the (under)representation of women in monuments in today's cities. By which (historical) context might we be able to understand the absence of monuments to women? In 2019 does it still make sense to think in terms of stereotypes such as 'man' versus 'woman'? And how can we give due attention to the intersection of gender and superdiversity in our society?
Through a series of public discussions and artistic suggestions, we will – as city residents, activists, academics, opinion-makers and artists – put our heads together to think about how we approach the various aspects of female representation in monuments in the public space.
During this second evening Henk De Smaele, Marcia Poelman, Milan Rutten and Stef Van Looveren engage in a conversation moderated by RoSa vzw.


Lucia di Lammermoor is an Italian opera in three acts. Salvatore Cammarano wrote the libretto (story and words). Gaetano Donizetti wrote the music. The opera is based on Sir Walter Scott's novel, The Bride of Lammermoor.
The opera was first performed on September 26, 1835 at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Italy. Fanny Tacchinardi-Persiani played the title role. The opera is celebrated for the sextet "Chi mi frena" and Lucia's lengthy Mad Scene, a technically and dramatically demanding double-aria tour de force. The opera was a great success. Every number received a tremendous ovation. Donizetti and the cast were called forth for numerous curtain calls. The opera is number 19 on the Operabase list of the most performed operas worldwide.
Background. The story is set in the early 18th century at Lammermoor Castle in Scotland. Two noble families — the Ashtons and the Ravenswoods — are bitter enemies. They have very nearly exterminated one another with constant warring. Enrico is almost broke. He has arranged a marriage for Lucia with a rich man. He hopes this marriage will relieve his money troubles. He is aware however that Lucia is in love Edgardo.
Act One. Normanno and others search the castle gardens for an intruder. They believe it is Edgardo on his way to meet Lucia. Enrico has marriage plans for Lucia, and vows to end her affair with his mortal enemy. Lucia waits for Edgardo in another part of the garden. She says she has seen the ghost of a maiden who died for love. Her maid believes this is a bad omen. Edgardo enters. He tells Lucia he must leave for France on family business. He hopes to make his peace with Enrico and marry Lucia. They exchange rings.
Act Two. Enrico has decided Lucia will marry Arturo at once. He knows she will resist, so he shows her a forged letter. It says that Edgardo has found a new lover. Lucia is crushed. Raimondo urges her to marry Arturo. Arturo arrives, and, with the stunned Lucia, signs the marriage contract. Edgardo suddenly enters and discovers Lucia's signature on the marriage contract. He curses her, and throws his ring on the floor.
Act Three. The wedding has taken place. Arturo and Lucia have retired to the bridal chamber. Raimondo interrupts the festivities in the Great Hall. He says Lucia is insane and has stabbed her husband to death. Lucia enters carrying a dagger. Her gown is smeared with blood. She acts disoriented. She imagines she is beside Edgardo, and soon to be married to him. She collapses and is carried away. Outside the castle, Edgardo learns that Lucia has died. He stabs himself, hoping to be united in death with Lucia.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks target specific individuals in a company, usually executives. In piecing together compromised data by studying a company, its main players, and social media, the attacks are convincing and effective.
Threat actors are utilizing spoofing emails in two distinct ways. First internally, using the CEO's or CFO's email accounts, after social engineering research. Or carry out a defrauding attack extracting payments from what is perceived to be a vendor's account but is really a threat actor's account. Second externally, using a spoofable email infrastructure to send out emails to a company's user base and customers - resulting in brand damage, as well as lost customers and revenue.
This was the case of the malicious "netflix.om" website, by misspelling the Netflix's website ever so subtly. Website spoofing refers to the creation and use of malicious sites which closely resemble legitimate, and usually, very well-known websites. With so much information available on social media, cyber attackers have many options for their attacks, and data points to how successful they are: Fifty percent of top Alexa 500 sites are spoofable.
Web spoofing attacks also come in the form of content theft by copying all of a legitimate site's content via a "spider" and by altering links to a spoofed website. Once sites harvest online banking credentials, social security numbers, or any other highly valuable information, attackers load malware onto the visitor's computer.
Phishing can net quite a haul when directed towards a company's executives. In fact, such business email compromise (BEC) attacks are increasingly prevalent, costing companies around the globe more than $5 billion in losses over three years.
From that initial foothold, cyber criminals can then dupe someone in accounting to wire a large sum of money to an attacker's overseas bank account or fool the head of HR to send W2s loaded with personally identifiable information (PII) straight to them.
In either case, traditional spam and even phishing filters are powerless to defend against this attack, as there's no foreign prince, no obvious foreign IP address, or mention of Viagra. Besides sidestepping the usual digital defenses, BEC attacks bypass human scrutiny as well: people are 74% more likely to open an email if it comes from their teammates or someone else within the organization. Especially when the email is crafted to look and feel like it was actually sent from a legitimate teammate.
Until the recent development of DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM), there hasn't been a standard, reliable, and vendor-neutral mechanism for verifying that an email landing in someone's inbox came from the address listed on the message. Cyber attackers exploit this lack of verification by using legitimate domains to disguise their malicious activity in the "From" and "Reply-To" fields. The recipient is tricked into clicking on any links in the message. Those links, in turn, take the target to a spoofed website.
Although these two types of spoofing can be used separately, attackers have learned that they are very effective when combined, resulting in a phishing attack. When phishing is combined with reconnaissance of the target's public-facing online accounts (Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), social engineering, and a highly targeted email message, the result is spear phishing. With spear phishing, a highly targeted form of phishing, cyber criminals put much more effort and research into crafting the emails because they aim to compromise specific individuals within an organization. By expanding the extra time and effort, cyber attackers can make quite convincing fake emails which are more likely to be read and clicked on.
No surprise: the best defense is a multi-layered one. Thoroughly training all staff on how to spot phishing emails becomes a higher priority each year for companies. And enabling two-factor authentication for all email accounts (especially those belonging to HR, finance, IT, and the C-suite) can also prevent hackers from sending out the fraudulent emails even if they manage to obtain email login credentials.
With a robust ETM platform in place, you will have far fewer concerns and defenses set up to protect you and your business. It's the win-win solution on this one.

Water-use restrictions repealed for Santa Fe Irrigation District customers
By Joe Tash
One year after imposing mandatory water-use restrictions on its customers enforced by fines and penalties, the Santa Fe Irrigation District has changed course, lifting the enforced cutbacks in favor of voluntary conservation measures.
The 5-0 vote by the agency's board of directors on Thursday, June 16, means that its customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch are once again free to water their lawns and groves as often and whenever they want.
"The public is going to get relief," said district general manager Michael Bardin. "We're pleased to bring this to you today."
"That's great news," said board president Michael Hogan after Thursday's vote.
The decision came after state water regulators decided to allow individual water agencies to decide which conservation methods are needed, based on the their own determination of available water supplies.
"For San Diego, we have enough water for the next three years," Bardin said.
Last year, in the face of a California drought that was in its fourth year, Gov. Jerry Brown ordered a statewide 25 percent cut in water use. State regulators responded by requiring water districts to cut back by a range of 4 to 36 percent. Because Santa Fe's per capita usage was among the highest in the state, it was ordered to cut back by 36 percent.
In order to achieve those mandated cuts, Santa Fe instituted a series of measures, such as a two-day per week watering schedule for customers, a ban on washing cars, and other restrictions. The district also instituted allocations, or a set amount of water allowed for each customer, for the first time in its 93-year history.
Districts faced fines of $10,000 per day for failing to meet their reduction targets.
Water officials in San Diego County and their customers objected to what they called a "one size fits all" approach taken by the state, arguing that regions such as San Diego County should not face Draconian cuts because their water supplies were ample due to measures such as increased water storage, conservation efforts and new sources of supply including a new seawater desalination plant in Carlsbad.
While some urged Santa Fe and other local districts to fight the state and even mount a legal challenge to the mandatory cutbacks, local officials instead attempted to comply with the orders while continuing to press their case that individual water agencies should determine what cutbacks are needed.
"We were in a crisis mode created by the state," said Bardin in an interview after Thursday's board meeting. Ultimately, he said, state officials heeded the arguments of local water agencies and agreed to let them set their own conservation targets. For Santa Fe, that means water-use restrictions, for now, are over.
"Our conservation goal is zero now," he said.
Bardin said the district's decision to move to "Level 1" voluntary conservation measures does not mean the state's water woes are over. The drought is now in its fifth year, he said, and supplies from the Colorado River are down.
"We want people to focus on a long-term commitment to water-use efficiency," he said, and recommended that residents water no more than three days per week.
State restrictions also still apply, such as no washing driveways with potable, or drinking, water; runoff from sprinklers is prohibited; shut-off nozzles must be used when washing cars; and irrigating outdoors during and within 48 hours of measurable rainfall is prohibited.
The full list of recommended conservation measures and state restrictions can be found on the district's web site at https://www.sfidwater.org/index.aspx?page=230.
Since the mandatory restrictions were imposed last summer, district customers have cut their use by an average of 31 percent, said district officials. Bardin said demand may go up by about 12 percent now that the restrictions have been lifted, but he doesn't expect usage to go back to where it was before the restrictions were imposed. For one thing, he said, some customers have removed turf and other thirsty plants in favor of drought-tolerant landscaping.
At Thursday's meeting, the board also approved the district's budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The fiscal plan includes total expenses of $35.7 million, a 5.6 percent increase from this year's budget. The budget includes operating cost and capital improvements, as well as other expenses.
Revenue is projected at $28.4 million, and the gap will be made up from reserves.
The board approved the budget on a 3-2 vote, with directors Greg Gruzdowich and Marlene King opposed.
"We're spending more money as we're projecting our reserves to go down," Gruzdowich said. "We're spending money we don't have."

ACLU Accused of 'Union Busting' by Hiring 'Anti-Union' Law Firm Over Labor Dispute
Colin KalmbacherJul 3rd, 2020, 5:44 pm
Workers and labor organizers at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kansas have met resistance from the affiliate's executive director Nadine Johnson after reportedly obtaining majority support for a union there–accusing the storied civil liberties organization of "union busting" over a series of procedural moves apparently aimed at slowing down the union recognition process.
"THE ACLU IS TRYING TO BUST OUR UNION," ACLU of Kansas United, the would-be union tweeted on July 1. "We need your help! We just learned that the [ACLU of Kansas] hired the second largest anti-union law firm in the nation, Ogletree Deakin [sic], to represent them against our efforts to unionize."
The elite firm's website website advertises their decades-long experience helping employers beat back union organizing drives.
"Ogletree Deakins has extensive experience representing management in union representation campaigns," a summary notes. "Since its inception in 1977, the firm has represented clients confronted with every form of union organizing activity. From union card signing activity and traditional union campaigns involving NLRB elections, to campaigns involving various levels of neutrality, to multi-site and even global attacks, to corporate campaigns, our attorneys have represented clients effectively, efficiently and successfully."
Johnson says her use of Ogletree Deakins is an honest effort to help move the organizing process along.
"This process (internally) is new to most of us and we do have a responsibility to our members, our volunteers, our board and our staff to make sure this complicated process unfolds properly," she noted in a statement provided to The Wichita Eagle. "To that end, we hired a firm with experience in this area of law and have made clear to that firm that we do not oppose unionization."
But the workers and their organizer disputed Johnson's characterization and singled out the notoriously pro-employer law firm.
"The national staff has a union and they've got four or five state affiliates that have voted in a union and have union contracts," Shannon Duffy, a business representative for the United Media Guild-CWA told Law&Crime. "They shouldn't be freaked out by this."
Duffy is currently representing ACLU of Kansas United and has worked for years on organizing drives across the country.
The choice of law firm for a self-styled progressive organization received criticism. Duffy said Ogletree Deakins is known to be "anti-union as hell" and noted that they are also considered Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio's "favorite law firm" by Arizona media.
He said the process chosen by the ACLU of Kansas leadership, so far, "has been right out of the corporate America playbook" on "how to slow down and kill a union-organizing drive."
"The reaction was surprising and it was also kind of troubling because normally when you give a progressive employer the chance to recognize a union there is very little push back," Duffy said. "Even if they don't instantly recognize the union and say they want proof, they agree to 'card check,' where a third party neutral comes in and they have someone who both sides trust oversee the process."
Under the card check system, if a simple majority of authorization cards are signed by employees, the union is recognized under federal labor laws. The authorization cards are provided by the union organizer and the employer brings forms containing employee signatures in order for a mutually-accepted third-party to verify that the employees are actually choosing to form the union.
Such third parties are typically well-known local leaders sourced from politics or the clergy.
"When the minister or the elected official comes in, they take a look and they verify the signatures, and it usually takes 5-10 minutes, depending on how many cards you have to look at," Duffy explained. "All you've got to talk about is, who do you trust to deal straight?"
But the ACLU of Kansas denied the card check route.
"They refused card check," Duffy noted. "So we had to file with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). It's Trump's NLRB–and they don't like organizing. I'm surprised the ACLU would want to deal with a governmental agency that's overseen by a Donald Trump appointee."
Duffy noted that after refusing card check, the ACLU affiliate not only demanded an NLRB election, but hired Ogletree Deakins–a law firm widely reviled by labor organizers.
"We fully support our employees," Johnson insists. "We want those seeking unionization to exercise absolutely every right they have at their disposal. In case you are unfamiliar with the history of the ACLU, one of our earliest victories as an organization was a 1926 labor rights case. We have an unequivocal record of supporting people in their efforts to assert their rights as workers."
But the workers and their representatives are more than skeptical.
"I've seen all this before," Duffy said. "I just never thought I'd see it from the ACLU."
"They're acting more like Walmart," he continued. "You don't expect this from the American Civil Liberties Union. We gave them a chance to live their values. They're all about rights, but they're kind of trampling on their workers' rights."
The ACLU of Kansas provided Law&Crime with the following defense of their actions in response to a series of multiple questions:
We are early in this process, and there has not been an employee vote. Consequently, there's not much else to say at this point.

It all started with a simple question: "How are you getting to Chicago?" And with that, folk musicians John Roberts and Debra Cowan decided to team up for a series of small concerts before arriving as separately booked artists at an annual festival. The combination of car-pool and mini-tour was successful enough that John and Debra have continued to perform together.
At their concerts, you might hear sea shanties or a broadside ballad, pub tunes or a love song with a feminist twist, a ripping good yarn or a laugh-out-loud funny story. John has been a guest on one of Debra's albums, and they have now released an album together, Ballads Long & Short.
In advance of their Golden Link concert on Saturday, May 14, I interviewed Debra to find out more about their musical journey.
Q: When did you and John first meet?
A: I met John in 1999 at the New Bedford Whaling Museum when he and Tony [Barrand] were doing a concert there. Of course I had known their work for a couple of decades before that and as the years rolled on, we would encounter each other at festivals and we became friends.
How do you determine which songs the two of you will perform together?
There wasn't a deliberate strategy to begin with and I suppose there still isn't. We each have songs we have performed or recorded and we began with those, mainly with me working out harmonies on his songs and John finding instrumentation for songs I sing.
Where do you look to find new songs?
For me it's usually something I might hear on a recording, especially with contemporary songs. With the traditional songs, I do look into the many collections: Child, Flanders, Creighton, etc. The internet has been a wonderful tool for song finding. One can now not only hear many versions and variants of songs, but can also see videos, whereas pre-online, we had either musical notation or hard-to-find- recordings. I might add that John has a huge library of books and recordings and he has become my number one source if I need either lyrics or sound.
Do you have any special tricks to get the audience to sing along with your songs?
I also try to make sure to sing a song in the beginning of the performance with a very easy chorus to get the listeners started in singing. I think it's our job as performers to let the audience know that we want them to join in and that it's okay to sing.
I have many, mostly women: Maddy Prior, Jacqui McShee, Linda Thompson, the late Sandy Denny, June Tabor. These are ladies whose singing greatly affected me at a very young age. I have always admired Richard Thompson and think he is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. Of course, it's a thrill to work with someone like John. Along with him, Tony Barrand, Lou Killen, and a few others, my awareness and love of traditional songs has grown and continues to expand.
How did you decide to become a folk singer?
I am not sure it was a conscious decision. I've always liked the old ballads and folk music has always been a part of me all of my life. I am 59 and missed the folk revival by about 10 years, though I certainly heard the songs on the radio when I was a kid. I have done my share of bluegrass, jazz, swing rock, and for a short time in the late '70s, sang in a top 40 covers band. That was an experience I never want to repeat.
I love all kinds of music and when I work with certain guitarists, like Bill Cooley or Brooks Williams, we certainly extend the boundaries and perform blues, standards, or even acoustic versions of some rock and pop stuff.

Heartland Reply to Eric Schlosser
By Joseph Bast
Eric Schlosser, the anti-fast food advocate and author of Fast Food Nation and the new children's book, Chew on This, strikes out against The Heartland Institute in an interview on the Bloomberg.com Web site.
The interview, conducted by Robin Schatz and posted on July 11, is titled "Fast-Food Critic Schlosser Aims New Book at Happy-Meal Set."
Schlosser refers to Heartland and other critics as "'AstroTurf' groups. They're fake grassroots organizations."
This characterization does not apply to The Heartland Institute. Among elected officials in the U.S., Heartland is one of the best known and most respected sources of information. Some 550 elected officials and more than 100 academics serve on the institute's advisory boards. Our work on environmental issues has won an international award and is consistent with the work of most respected scientists.
The Heartland Institute was started 22 years ago by David Padden, a small business owner who is now chairman emeritus of the Board of Directors, and Joseph Bast, at the time a college student attending the University of Chicago and now president of the organization. Initial funding came from approximately two dozen small business owners in the Chicago area.
Over the years The Heartland Institute raised funds from thousands of individuals, foundations, and corporations. Heartland's annual budget today is $3.2 million, almost entirely from charitable contributions from 1,400 donors and some 3,200 subscribers. No corporate donor contributes more than 5 percent of its annual budget.
Our long history, diverse funding base, and reputation for quality research show Schlosser's attempt to discredit us to be false.
Also in the interview, Mr. Schlosser told Ms. Schatz:
The Heartland Institute actually put out a press release recently that compared my children's book to Nazi propaganda and compared me by implication to Hitler. As someone who lost family in the Holocaust I found that very offensive.
The Heartland Institute's Web site contains two essays about Mr. Schlosser's book. The news release on Heartland's Web site, at http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=18987, is a devastating rebuttal of the claims set forth in Chew on This and contains no mention of "Nazi propaganda" or "Hitler." The second essay, at http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=19129, is a much longer book review that appeared in the June 2006 issue of Environment & Climate News, a publication of The Heartland Institute. That essay contains these lines:
In the 1930s Adolf Hitler recognized that if he could indoctrinate Germany's youth in support of this antihuman Nazi movement, the children would ultimately control their more level-headed, mature parents, thus restraining the adults' efforts to learn the truth about what Hitler was doing.
It would appear the authors are making the same effort in their drive to socialize America by feeding its children a book of distortions and untruths about the world's greatest food supplier and agricultural economy.
Both essays were written by Dr. Jay Lehr, one of the most distinguished scientists in the world. Dr. Lehr is the author of more than 400 magazine and journal articles and 12 books. He is editor of Rational Readings on Environmental Concerns (1992), McGraw-Hill's Handbook on Environmental Science, Health and Technology (2000), Wiley's Remediation Technologies Handbook (2004), Environmental Instrumentation and Analysis Handbook (2005), and the six-volume Water Encyclopedia (Wiley Interscience, 2005).
If Mr. Schlosser is offended by the analogy Dr. Lehr draws between his tactics and those of Nazis, perhaps he should change his tactics. His "children's book" is loaded with leftist and anti-market language and assertions aimed at turning young readers into advocates for policies that limit consumer choice.
If you have any questions about this matter please call Mike Van Winkle, media relations, at The Heartland Institute at 312/377-4000 or by email at vanwinkle@heartland.org.

Health Insurance Tax Break Increases National Debt, Stifles Economy
On Health Care, the Choice Will Be Easy in 2020
By Sarah Lee
Pelican Institute Serves as a Louisiana Health Care Policy Watchdog
Galen Institute Takes on Socialized Medicine, Promotes Health Care Choices


Existing home sales, as reported by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), increased 3.2% in September and were up 0.6% from the same month a year ago, as first-time buyers seized a 34% share of sales. Total existing home sales in September increased to a seasonally adjusted rate of 5.47 million units combined for single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, up from a downwardly adjusted 5.30 million units in August.
NAR attributed the September jump to buyers attempting to move prior to the beginning of the school year. As reported yesterday, builders continue to address the low inventory of homes as September single-family starts increased by 8.1% from August. Builder sentiment remains solid, suggesting positive prospects for new single-family sales in 2016.

Living the Gospel
Who are Sons of Perdition and What is the Unpardonable Sin?
Aug 22, 2019 | Laws and Ordinances, Living the Gospel | 0 comments
Alright guys, so repentance and forgiveness are HUUUGE themes in both the Bible and The Book of Mormon. And it's Jesus Christ who makes it possible for us to repent and be forgiven for our sins. But the scriptures also talk about one sin in particular that is so serious that there simply is no coming back from it: an unpardonable sin.
So let's talk about it—what the unpardonable sin is, what it is not, and who is even eligible to commit it.
In Matthew 12 we read:
I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Mark 3 says, "But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:"
We read similar verses in Luke 12, Hebrews 6, Hebrews 10, and in The Book of Mormon in Alma 39, 3 Nephi 29, And Mosiah 16.
So what does it mean to blaspheme against, or deny, the Holy Ghost? Here's what Joseph Smith said about it:
"What must a man do to commit the unpardonable sin? He must receive the Holy Ghost, have the heavens opened unto him, and know God, and then sin against him. After a man has sinned against the Holy Ghost, there is no repentance for him. He has got to say that the sun does not shine while he sees it; he has got to deny Jesus Christ when the heavens have been opened unto him, and to deny the plan of salvation with his eyes open to the truth of it."
President Spencer W. Kimball also added that,
"The sin against the Holy Ghost requires such knowledge that it is manifestly impossible for the rank and file to commit such a sin."
In other words, you really cannot commit this sin by accident. You can't be tricked into it. You have to have a perfect knowledge of Christ and his mission, and then purposefully choose to throw that knowledge in the trash. What does it mean to have perfect knowledge? Well, in the case of the Brother of Jared from The Book of Mormon, he isn't described as having "perfect knowledge" until he literally saw Jesus. And because very few people have that kind of witness of Jesus Christ, very few people could commit the unpardonable sin even if they wanted to.
In Latter-day Saint jargon, Satan and his angels, along with those who commit the unpardonable sin are known as Sons of Perdition, hailing back (I think) to John 17:12. I briefly mentioned Sons of Perdition back in an episode about life after death, and now we've come full circle. After the Final Judgment, the Sons of Perdition are cast out into Outer Darkness forever. As far as we know, they will never have the opportunity to inherit a heavenly Kingdom of Glory, but we don't know what Outer Darkness is, where it is, or what it's like. We just know that it's not Heaven, and it's not a pleasant place to be. It's like Walmart on a Saturday. During a toddler convention.
Now, there are some people who speculate on who qualifies as a Son of Perdition and who does not. A lot of people say Cain is a good example of a Son of Perdition, many people throw Judas in that pool as well. But ultimately, God will be the judge. It's probably not a good idea to go around calling people Sons of Perdition. That's kind of rude and probably not anywhere close to the truth.
If you're worried you've committed the unpardonable sin, remember this: The fact that you're worried you've committed the unpardonable sin is a pretty good indicator that you have not committed the unpardonable sin. I don't think those individuals who have sinned against the Holy Ghost are particularly remorseful about it—they preferred it.
Anyway, I know that "denying the Holy Ghost" might still seem like a pretty vague concept. I wish I could define it in more specific terms for you. I wish I could give you a whole list of sins that qualify as denying the Holy Ghost, but I can't, cuz we just don't have that much information about it. Just keep doing your best to follow Christ and you'll have nothing to worry about. In fact, you could probably do your worst and you still wouldn't have to worry about it. But that's terrible advice. So do your best.

GOP Sen. Rand Paul reportedly wants to lead America's peace talks with Iran
stuck in the middle with rand

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) apparently likes bringing business into his personal life.
While joining President Trump for a round of golf this weekend, Paul asked Trump to send him to meet with Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, four U.S. officials tell Politico. Paul's plan, the officials say, is to soften the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran — and Trump reportedly approved of it.
Paul's reported request just after Iran announced it violated enrichment levels set under the international nuclear deal Trump pulled the U.S. out of. Trump has responded with a so-called "maximum pressure" campaign on Tehran, which comes in the form of economic sanctions. Administration officials who support the maximum pressure move are "rankled" by Paul's apparent involvement in the deal, seeing as he's known to oppose foreign intervention, Politico reports. After all, Paul sent a letter alongside a bipartisan group of senators last month expressing concern over Trump's deployment of troops to the Middle East.
Zarif is in New York City this week for talks with the U.N., which is presumably where Paul would talk with him, Politico says. But Paul and his office have declined requests for comment, leaving the possible meeting up in the air. Read more at Politico. Kathryn Krawczyk


Performing Arts Hub Norway was established as an interest organisation in 1977, initiated by artists within the field of independent performing arts. The main aim was to establish a funding system for independent performing art companies working outside of the institutions.
Today Performing Arts Hub Norway is a foundation and a national competence centre for performing arts organised as a network organisation.
PAHN is a member of Norwegian Arts Abroad (NAA).
The English name of Performing Arts Hub Norway was The Norwegian Association for Performing Arts (NAPA) until 2011.
In 1977 the approximately 16 theatre and dance groups then existing gathered. They had several wishes and needs in common; to promote and to increase the status of independent performing arts, presenting performances, collaboration across companies and strengthening of the economy. In February 1977 Teatersentrum (literally: Theatre Centre) was founded (later changing its name to Danse- og Teatersentrum or The Norwegian Association for Performing Arts) – an interest organization for the independent theatre and ballet groups in Norway.
Teatersentrum aimed to work for a governmental support system for the independent groups. The organisational model was inspired by corresponding organisations in Sweden and Denmark. Among the companies active in founding Teatersentrum were Collage Dansekompani, Danseloftet (literally: The Dance Attic), Dukketeaterverkstedet, Filiokus Teatret, Fri Ballett (literally: Free Ballet), Grenland Friteater, Høvik Ballett AKA Hovik Ballet, Musidra, Perleporten Teatergruppe (literally: The Pearly Gates Theatre Company), Saltkompagniet, Teater 4 (Theatre 4), Teater Rundt-Omkring (literally: Theatre All-Around), Thesbiteatret (The Thesbi Theatre) and Tramteatret. The same summer the companies arranged the first theatre festival for independent groups in Norway.
The organisation as of today: The foundation Performing Arts Hub Norway is a national competence centre organised as a network organisation. Performing Arts Hub Norway is granted public support via Chapter 324, post 74, The Ministry of Culture. For funding projects, Performing Arts Hub Norway applies for project funding from a diversity of cultural funds.
The foundations main target: Performing Arts Hub Norway shall be the national competence centre promoting professional performing arts nationally and internationally, emphasising independent performing arts.
National aims for the foundation: The aim for the enterprise in Performing Arts Hub Norway is promoting theatre and dance as artistic expressions and to stimulate increased interest for dance and theatre in all target groups.
Ownership and communication: Communication stands centrally for NAPA. NAPA owns and runs the national archive Sceneweb. The foundation owns two limited liability companies presenting independent performing arts: Black Box Teater, a programming venue in Oslo, and The National Touring Network for the Performing Arts (NTNPA), the national dissemination enterprise for performing arts within The Cultural Rucksack. The foundation also published the news and information website Scenekunst.no with Association of Norwegian Theatres and Orchestras.

Israel's Banks Are Washing Their Hands of Their Troublesome International Operations
Several Israeli banks are closing their overseas operations after allegations they had helped clients evade U.S. taxes

Israeli banks have paid heavily in the past few years for their overseas operations. Hapoalim, Leumi and Mizrahi Tefahot all became ensnared in investigations by the U.S. authorities over allegations they had helped clients evade U.S. taxes.
Hapoalim to this day is seeking to extricate itself from its acquisition of Turkey's Bank Positif by its former chairman, Danny Dankner. Israel Discount Bank is now involved in tax evasion issues in regard to one of its Australian clients.
Not surprisingly, Israel's banks are continuing to close their overseas operations and focus on their home market, which remains highly profitable for them.
On Tuesday Discount revealed another 168 million-shekel ($50.6 million) charge in connection with lawsuits being pursued against it and its Mercantile Discount subsidiary in Australia.
The bank is being sued as part of tax fraud cases related to the Binetter family, the founders of the Nudie juice business and a former Discount client. The bank had already taken 240 million shekels in charges in relation to the case.
Brothers Andrew and Michael Binetter are accused of massive tax evasion via what Australian authorities allege were back-to-back loans.
That involves the client depositing money in a bank, then "borrowing" it back as a business loan. The bank charges "interest" on the loan, but channels all but a small commission back to the borrower, who claims the fictitious interest costs as a tax deduction.

Banks facing growing consumer loan risks
Australian authorities first grew suspicious more than a decade ago when they began examining Binetter group companies. They suspected that the brothers, and before them their parents, had been depositing money without reporting at Bank Hapoalim, Hapoalim's Swiss unit, Discount and Mercantile Discount in Israel and Switzerland. In return, the banks made the Binetters loans of similar size, the authority alleged.
The case sat in court for many years until the Binetter group companies were put into liquidation. With the backing of Australian tax authorities, the liquidators then launched suits against those involved, asserting the Discount and Hapoalim were actively involved in the alleged evasion.
Hapoalim, whose alleged role in the affair was much smaller than Discount's, put the matter behind it years ago. The executives involved, through their insurance coverage, paid out 4.3 million shekels in claims and the bank itself another 11 million.
Discount, however, opted to fight the suit in court, claiming it had never done anything illegal and seeking (unsuccessfully) to have the case moved to Israel. Discount's total potential liability in the case could reach 450 million shekels and as it came to the realization that the odds of it avoiding any penalty were small it began making provisions.
"We believe that the Australian lawsuit will not require a lot more set-asides by Discount," said Alon Glazer, banking analyst at Leader Capital Markets. "However, the Australian affair reminds us again that the risk with Discount is bigger than the baking system as a while, both because the big rise in its lending in recent years and because of the greater weighting of its overseas operations (mainly the United States), which has a much higher risk profile than Israel."

Despite that, Discount managed to avoid being caught up in the U.S. tax evasion cases against Hapoalim, Leumi and Mizrahi. That affair cost the three banks a combined 7 billion shekels. Some of its executives were sued for their personal responsibility in the affair.
The Australian suit is a further reminder how risk-laden the overseas operations of Israeli banks are and how difficult it is for them to come out on top in legal disputes with foreign authorities. Nevertheless, Discount remains committed to its U.S. arm, Discount New York, which contributes 10% to 15% of its annual profits.
Mizrahi, on the other hand, announced when it released its third-quarter results that it was exploring selling its United Mizrahi Bank, Switzerland unit. This is a relatively small operation, which as of September 20 had assets of just 121 million Swiss francs ($132 million) and 47 million in loans outstanding to the public. It earned 400,000 francs in profit in the first nine months of 2020.
Mizrahi's CEO, Moshe Lari had previously been responsible for the bank's overseas operations. But after it agreed in a settlement with the U.S. to pay a 700 million shekel penalty, it began to have second thoughts about its overseas business, shutting its German and Mexican offices, though keeping its Los Angeles and London offices.'
Leumi earlier this year used the coronavirus crisis to close its office in China, leaving its international operations confined to the U.S. and Britain. Leumi has settled its case with the U.S. at a cost of 1.06 billion shekels in 2014.
Hapoalim, meanwhile, said in its third-quarter report that it had still not completed a deal to sell its 70% holding in Positif. Over the 14 years it owned the Turkish bank, Hapoalim has lost 900 million shekels.
Last April, it reached a deal with the U.S. over its role in the tax-evasion charges and agreed to pay a 4.5 billion shekel penalty, an amount equal to 11% of its shareholders' equity. When it does divest Positif, Hapoalim's overseas operations will comprise just a single branch in New York.
Israel economy


The layout was purchased from eBay as a restoration project in summer 2009.
Overall it measures 4.6m long (15 feet) by 76cm wide (thirty inches). Construction is a softwood frame and legs are topped with ply, MDF, chipboard, etc, and with all of this it's quite heavy.
Points and track are all Peco, with point remote control by cap discharge via switches.
The track has been re-ballasted in places with Gaugemaster ballast, diluted PVA fixing it in place, and assorted craft paints mixed to weather the rails and sleepers.
KPC controllers provide excellent slow speed analogue control.
Since being in our ownership, the layout has had a fair bit of work done on it that you cant even see (such as a full week spent on the wiring, sorting track faults to get it all working. Since then, it has had lots of track reworking to level joins, and additional wiring installed to improve reliability and increase flexibility.
The scenery is gradually being upgraded as time permits. Buildings are by Metcalf (card kits), scenic papers are by Scalescenes, and there's nothing there that you couldn't do yourself.
Rolling stock is varied, and probably needs its own page to cover more fully. There are lots of standard products from Graham Farish, Dapol, and Peco, with older items from Minitrix and Lima. Some specialist kit items comes from Worlsey Works, Taylor Precision Models (TPM), the N Gauge Society, Parkwood, and others.
Some locos have undergone re-sprays by Mk1resprays, MGC Services, HeritageN, and N'thusiast.
For the future... the fiddle yard really needs an upgrade. We'd also like to add working signals (with one working signal already in place - see if you can spot it), improve point control, and undertake a complete rewiring as everything is currently squashed into two inch square electrical trunking, making any fault difficult to find - not much to do then!
Work in 2016 covered some of this, with some radical rewiring of the control panels and associated under-board wiring, plus some scenic changes at the back. Operating the layout is now a bit more complicated but many more train movements can be carried out at once, making for an even-more busy layout during shows.
The layout also appeared in the October 2016 edition of Railway Modeller, Vol 67 No 792 pp 844-849.


I had always wanted to visit the huge pet expo, Pet World Malaysia. Well, I did not have the chance until its 6th edition recently! Decided to make my way to the expo since I was in Kuala Lumpur.
Admission was RM5 and I was one of the early visitors, as I planned to head back to Ipoh as soon as possible.
Although the exposition was huge, I have to say that nothing impressed me despite visiting all three halls at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.
I have attended many events and fairs locally and I am always on the look out for revolutionary products. I have not come across many thus far, unfortunately.
I am glad I met and got to play with some doggies there. That's because visitors were allowed to bring their pets along, perhaps to allow the pets to pick out their favourite food and clothing? Haha!
Oh yes, before I forget, Pet World Malaysia 2014, the 7th Malaysian International Pets & Aquatics Exhibition, will also be held at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre in Kuala Lumpur, from 27th – 29th June, 2014, from 10am to 9pm. Whether I will attend or not remains to be seen. Maybe on the third day where there are more pet activities?
Let me share some photos of the event with you. Were you there?

I have had smooth collies all my life but I'm sure my 7-yr old tri-colored Brody dread summers here in Calif as it is about 90+ nowadays. I can't even imagine how hot it would be for a thick and furry breed in Malaysia's high humidity climate. I can only hope their owners judiously keep them cool.
Pets here are quite fortunate. Despite the humidity, there's the air-conditioner that owners have no qualms using on their dogs and cats.

All groups of favor jewellery can be found in nearly every jewellery shop. Whether it is necklaces, rings, earrings, anklets or bracelets. As women have become more and more style conscious, their requirement for fashion jewellery is booming tremendously. this jewellery consists of materials including metals, glass, plastic, shells, wood and artificial gemstones. Antique jewellery, oxidized, gold and silver plated, stone-studded jewellery, superbly cut glass jewellery etc. has turned into a craze among any age.
Precious jewels are connected with special events like weddings, engagements, parties, balls, events etc. The times of heavy chains, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, rings and so on are lost somewhere in the middle of modernity. Probably the most economical and fashion forward type of jewellery products nowadays is fashion jewellery. It's also very comfortable and lightweight-weight to put on.
Teenage women is visible everywhere putting on ornament. They're buying anklets, charm bracelets, funky earrings to remain ahead within the fashion scene. It finds favour with youthful women because it is very reasonable & super trendy. Beads and peacock down have recently been utilized in making all sorts of jewellery.

Drapery Workers (Wages)
HC Deb 23 March 1967 vol 743 cc1898-9 1898
§ 21. Mr. Ridley
asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if, in view of the difference of opinion between the Drapery Wages Council and the National Board for Prices and Incomes on pay, he intends to make an Order restraining the drapery employers from paying more wages.
§ Mr. Frederick Lee
The question of use of Part IV of the Prices and Incomes Act does not arise at present. The employers concerned are not under any statutory obligation to pay more. The Wages Council's proposals are under consideration by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
§ Mr. Ridley
Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that we have here a statutory council whose duty it is to protect low wage earners in conflict with a non-statutory board's report? In order to make any sense of this situation, he will have to reform the rôle of wages councils if he intends to persevere with his incomes policy in this form. What does he intend to do about it?
§ Mr. Lee
I do not dispute that there is a point in what the hon. Gentleman says, but the question of this Report by the National Board for Prices and Incomes has been discussed with the employers and unions concerned by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
§ Mr. Winnick
Is my hon. Friend aware of the deep concern which many 1899 people in the labour and trade union movement have about the Board's Report on drapery workers? Would he consider that it is right and just that people who earn just over £13 a week should have no increase? Would members of the Board like to live on that sort of wage?
In its Report the Board gives the reasons for its decision. It is a matter of opinion as to whether the decision was right or not, but we should not seek on every report to prejudge whether the criterion that they are using is correct.
§ Mr. McNamara
Would not my hon. Friend agree that the Board's Report in this case underlines one of the main weaknesses of the White Paper, namely the failure of the Department or of the Board to try to define with more precision what a lower-paid worker is? Until we get this definition we cannot have a successful basis upon which we can build a pyramid of negotiations.
I agree that this is a great problem. The complexities of the wage structures are such that we could have people with ostensibly pretty high rates but who, in fact, are lower paid than those whose basic rates are lower than theirs. The Board in two or three of the reports that it has issued, for instance on agriculture and on retail drapery, has given us some lead on what constitutes "lowest paid", but as yet, I agree, we have not got a complete definition.
