Luther wrote in the introduction to his commentary on Galatians, "The Epistle to the Galatians is my epistle, to which I am betrothed. It is my Katie von Bora." Galatians was an eye-opener and rallying cry for Luther, as it addressed the issue legalism in the Galatian church. A sect, which Paul calls "Judaizers" were teaching that Gentile converts had to come under Mosaic law. No says Paul. You are saved by grace through faith in Christ. This became Luther's (and later reformers) raison d'etre if you will. To lift the burden of religious obligation, do this, pay this, donate to this, say this prayer, bow, etc.
In Galatians 6, Paul switches gears. He begins his paraenesis- a series of teaching points which follows the argument of the letter which addresses a specific issue in the church to which he is writing. "Brothers", "therefore", "But", "Now" mark these transitions in Paul's letters (See Romans 12, Col 3). Also notice a change in verb tenses. No longer Greek aorist or perfects. Suddenly we see imperatives and participles. Paul is shifting gears from what is true, to how it should be lived out.
"Caught" in this case does not mean an "a-ha, I caught you!" moment. We are not responsible for going looking for others' sins, hoping to catch them doing something wrong. Jesus addresses this repeatedly (see Mt. 7:1ff, John 8:1-12). It is not our duty to police the sinners, to probe the church members lives looking for skeletons.
What Paul means here, what the Greek actually says is "trapped" or "entangled". Sin does that. Think of Hebrews 12:1-2 where Christians are called drop our chains, remove anything that hinders, and "sin which so easily entangles us." We get stuck in sin. It's like quicksand. The harder we fight, the worse it gets. The people around us will likely get "stuck" in something they shouldn't. Galatians 5:1 says "It is for freedom that Christ set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Sin is something that you get "yoked" to. You become enslaved to it. That guy who you look down your nose at say I can't believe he would keep on doing that, he needs to clean up his act- guess what, on his own, chances are, he can't. He needs the freedom which comes through the power of Christ. Show him Jesus.
The word used for sin here is one of several words translated as sin. paraptoma is different from the more generic amartia. paraptoma carries more of a "fall away" or "step to the side". This isn't just a one off moral failure or not being as good as I should be. Paul is specifically talking about habitual sin; patterns which are enslaving, addictions even.
you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness.
Spiritual and spirit of gentleness. Catch that. Twice in the same thought. This is a spiritual thing. Sin requires a spiritual solution.
Dealing with sin should always have restoration in mind. In this instance "restore" refers to repair or "put in order", but can also mean "perfect" or "make complete". Dealing with sin is not about punishing the guilty. The priority is reconciliation. Moving toward making things right again- getting that person back to where they should be. Helping the one who has fallen to the side get back where they belong.
Gentleness. How often is our reaction to sin something which could be described as gentleness. Gentleness doesn't mean saying it's ok. Gentleness doesn't mean being dismissive to spare the person's feelings. Gentleness mean you are clear in your intent not to harm the person but help. It means communicating in humility and tenderness. Respecting the fact that this person probably feels guilt and shame already. Gentleness is how Jesus responds to those trapped in sin. Think of the woman caught in adultery in John 8, or the Samaritan woman in John 4. Jesus says hey, what you've been up to is wrong. But let me help you. I am not interested in seeing you punished, but in seeing you made whole. When do we see Jesus get harsh? It isn't with the "dirty sinners". Prostitutes, tax collectors, adulterers, pagans, the drunks, the drug dealers, the homosexuals and all those folks the Pharisees glared at found Jesus to be tender, kind, humble. The only folks who get an earful of hellfire from Jesus are the religious folks; the self-righteous, arrogant, condescending, those with the "habit of censorious and carping criticism" (Tasker, Matthew, Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1975); the folks who are certain they are right, and the "other" is a sinner.
Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
When you go digging through someone's skeletons, it rarely ends well. Be careful. Watch yourself… don't watch them. They're already stuck. If you end up stuck too, you can't be of any help.
Your job is not to let them know how serious their sin is. Your job is not to prooftext all the ways that so-and-so has angered God. Jesus didn't quote the commandments at the woman caught in adultery. He didn't tell her to be ashamed of herself. He said, go and sin no more. He is saying, you can be free of all this. You don't have to carry this baggage.
Fulfill the law of Christ. Law of Christ? Wait, I thought we had grace not law. That's the point. Live out grace. Love the Lord and Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no law against love.
For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but you're not as holy you think you are. You are not in a position to tell others how to live. "First get the plank out of your own eye," Jesus says, then you can deal with the speck in your neighbour's eye. Just remember when you point out your neighbour's sin, chances are your neighbour can point out yours.
Does this mean we ignore the others' sin? No. Just don't pretend to do it from a place of moral superiority. Get rid of your plank so you can help with their speck. Mutual moral accountability can be a powerful thing in the Christian journey. Correction is helpful if it's give and take and done with the purpose of genuine desire to assist one another to grow in love and obedience. Humility is key.
But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbour.
Test your own work. Evaluate your own obedience. Measure your work against God's standard, not against the moral failure of someone else. Remember the parable of the tax collector and the Pharisee (Lk. 18:9-14). You aren't righteous because your neighbour isn't. Not committing the sins your neighbour does is not the way to impress God.
It's weird for a pastor to comment on this verse, because, basically Paul is saying pay your pastors.
But also more than that. Share all good things. Not just money. Encouragement, hospitality, respect, testimony.
Your leaders should feel appreciated and respected, not taken advantage of.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
If your faith is self serving, you're in trouble. If you live life for your own benefit and your expressions of faith have selfish desire behind them, it's all going to go sour, in a real hurry. The Christian walk is not about you. Yes, God loves you, and pours himself out for you, to redeem you and reconcile you to himself. But the life you live now is not your own (Gal. 2:20). Really it never was.
Sin entered the world in Genesis 3 when mankind wanted more. Adam and Eve wanted what wasn't theirs. They wanted to be like God- not in the sense of reflecting godly character, but they were after God's status, equality with God.
Sow in the Spirit and good things will happen. Remember this passage comes right after the Fruits of the Spirit discussion. In 5:25 Paul says "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Quit living for yourself. It is not you who live, but Jesus Christ lives in you. Let him do it. Let him live through you. Let the goodness of God which is in Christ flow through you to bless others. You are blessed to be a blessing. The fruit of the Spirit is not simply for your own benefit.
Abraham was promised that he would be blessed. The Pharisees clung to that; And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abrahamas our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham (Mt. 3:9). What they forgot was that the promise came with an imperative. I will make you into a great nation. "Be a blessing." (Genesis 12:2, see L. Turner, Genesis, London: T&T Clark, 2000, 64) Do good. Bless others. Is your presence a blessing to the folks you encounter? If not, you're doing it wrong (See Mt.5:14-16, 1 Pet. 2:12).
Keep in step with the Spirit. Let the Spirit lead, and follow through. Our promise is that if we do it, if we let him live in us, he will produce Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self control. He will produce it, in you and through you to others.
Are you missing love, joy, peace… etc.? Chances are you're missing this essential piece of the gospel- that when you stop living for your own selfishness and let Christ live in you, he will produce the good things in you and through you. The people around you will be blessed. Ever wonder why certain people always seem to draw others to them? The Holy Spirit is contagious. If people see God at work in you, and they see love, joy, peace… etc. They'll take notice. They'll know that thy have been blessed.

This sermon helps me alot to understand how we treat and help people arounds to bring them in the place where should they live.
Blessed to be a Blessing is something I try to do, thank you for reminding us about that.
Thank you for the reassuring words of grace.
Well what a refreshing look at sin. How others see you who sins, may not always be the right way, I may not appreciate what they say or do to me because of it. I am glad that God nudges me to look at Him and tries to get me to be whole again. In turn, I must just love the very people who reacted incorrectly and realize that they also sin.
this is such a great read!!! I loved it!

Over the weekend, I ran across a post about World Hijab Day. I decided to participate this year.
So I didn't wear a full hijab, but more of a headscarf. I also invited the Muslim student in my class to bring a hijab to school and talk about it. She is only nine, so she doesn't wear it all the time.
I was very aware I was wearing it all day....I had some looks at school, but I just explained why I was wearing it....I really didn't go anywhere else, except to pump gas.....it was an interesting experience.
Got lots of compliments on it actually....I just felt I needed to show solidarity, in light of the things that I are happening in my country.

Notorious Drug Lord's Hideaway Mansion Is Now A Lavish Resort
By Srushti Palkar
How about a getaway in one of Colombia's notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar's hideaway mansion in Tulum, México? Well, it might sound a little weird, but the mansion once owned by the most powerful man in Colombia during the 1980s and 90s is now a lavish resort worth millions.
After Escobar was killed by the Colombian National Police in 1993, the property was neglected, until 2012, when a New York based art pundit Lio Malca decided to renovate it and enhanced it with trendy artwork from his collection.
So all the Narcos fans out there, are you ready for one hell of a vacation in one of Tulum's secluded nook surrounded by dense vegetation and beachfront mansion with soothing blue waters?
1 Where is it?
2 How to get there?
3 What to do?
Casa Malca, a tropical paradise is nestled on an undisturbed beach of the Yucatan peninsula in Tulum, México.
But apart from the gorgeous art-filled interior, the mansion is quite extraordinary in itself as it offers 71 suites and beach rooms, along with three swimming pools, one which is built underground, restaurants serving traditional and modern dishes hailing from Mexico, and two bars serving chilled margaritas for its guests. Casa Malca also has a number of wooden cabanas lined up on the white sand for its guests to view the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean sea, hammocks hanging between the palm trees to get soaked in some vitamin D and a 360-degree view terrace in the middle of a lush green forest for experiencing an Instagram worthy sunset of Tulum.

One can get to Casa Malca by air, as the Cancún International Airport (CUN) receives flights from a number of international airports, like that of the USA and the UK.
A 2-hour bus ride from the Cancún International Airport (CUN) to Tulum's Ado Bus Station is a quick option to reach Casa Malca via Playa del Carmen. Various private cabs and rentals cars are available from the airport to Casa Malca costing between 300 to 3000 pesos. Reservation for a private airport transfer can also be made at the resort in advance.
Moreover, for accommodation, Casa Malca offers its guests a wide variety of well-appointed suites and beach rooms to choose from, each varying in size and price and equipped with modern amenities.

For recreational and relaxation activities guests can stroll in the sugar-like white sand or sunbathe and develop tan-lines, relax in the hammocks or cabanas, take a dip in the blue-tiled swimming pool or the Caribbean sea or discover the mansion filled with contemporary art.

Casa Malca also offers other leisurely stirs, like yoga, spa and surfing along with meditation in the light-changing underground swimming pool which also acts as a steam room.
Guests can also discover the outside of the resort and unravel the ruins of Tulum, as it has a history dating back to the 13th century. Guests can also roam in a number of national parks, or swim in one of Tulum's famous cenotes, or go bird watching, observe the dolphins and turtles, fly fishing and snorkel at the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve via certain boat tours.
Last but not least, if you're not a fan of the overly populated tourist wave which is usually between January to March, then you can also visit Tulum between October to December.

Question: We're having discussions in our surgical practice on a couple of issues related to complex hernia repair.
1) My surgeon thinks he should be able to bill separately for placement of a xenograft during complex incisional hernia repair using dermal graft codes 15330- 15331. I think the skin graft codes are not appropriate for hernias. Who's right?
2) When the surgeon does a component separation during the hernia repair, is it appropriate to report 15734?
Answer: To address your first question, both CPT and the American College of Surgeons (ACS) are pretty clear that it would not be appropriate to report an additional graft code when the surgeon places a xenograft mesh as part of an incisional hernia repair.
Here's what CPT states: "With the exception of the incisional or ventral hernia repairs (codes 49560- 49566), the use of mesh or other prostheses is not separately reported. Therefore, if the 'open hernia repair' is for an incisional or a ventral hernia repair, then it would be appropriate to separately report code 49568, Implantation of mesh or other prosthesis for incisional or ventral hernia repair (List separately in addition to code for the incisional or ventral hernia repair).
From a CPT coding perspective, xenograft mesh is a type of mesh prosthesis appropriately reported with code 49568" (CPT Assistant, June 2008). ACS also warns you away from reporting the 15000 series codes for graft placement during hernia repair.
"All codes in the 15000 series were specifically created for burn wounds, and fall within the skin substitute/ integumentary section of the CPT Codebook," ACS states in the November 2009 Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons.
CPT does not address whether it would be appropriate to separately report component separation during complex hernia repair, but ACS states that this would be appropriate. "Some general surgeons now perform component separation of the abdominal wall, where the oblique or transversalis muscles are incised lateral to the hernia and the rectus muscles are mobilized toward the midline, to facilitate wound closure," the society states.
• Medicare policy does not allow additional payment for 15734-50 – you'll only receive payment for one unit of the code, even with the modifier.
• Code 15734 pays $1,315 (all fees par, not adjusted for locality), which is more than any of the incisional hernia repair codes, 49560-49568 (e.g., 49566 [repair recurrent incisional or ventral hernia; incarcerated or strangulated] pays $906.70).
Medicare policy directs you to append the 51 modifier to lesser-valued codes so the multi-procedure payment reduction will be applied to them. But if the primary reason for the surgery is the complex hernia and the flap procedure is supplemental, practices will need to decide whether that is truly appropriate.
For example, the code descriptor for CPT code 45805 is "Closure of rectovesical fistula; with colostomy" and the code descriptor for CPT code 45800 is "Closure of rectovesical fistula;". Therefore, based upon the code descriptors the procedure described by CPT code 45800 is a component of the procedure described by CPT code 45805, and CPT code 45800 is bundled into CPT code 45805.
"Treatment of complications of primary surgical procedures is separately reportable with some limitations. The global surgical package for an operative procedure includes all intra-operative services that are normally a usual and necessary part of the procedure.
Additionally the global surgical package includes all medical and surgical services required of the surgeon during the postoperative period of the surgery to treat complications that do not require return to the operating room.
Thus, treatment of a complication of a primary surgical procedure is not separately reportable (1) if it represents usual and necessary care in the operating room during the procedure or (2) if it occurs postoperatively and does not require return to the operating room.
"If a hernia repair is performed at the site of an incision for an open or laparoscopic abdominal procedure, the hernia repair (e.g., CPT codes 49560-49566, 49652-49657) is not separately reportable.
"By contrast, incidental services that are necessary to accomplish the primary procedure (e.g., lysis of adhesions in the course of an open cholecystectomy) are not separately reportable with an addon code. Similarly, complications inherent in an invasive procedure occurring during the procedure are not separately reportable.

Martin Rak's interest in nature and the landscape is a key aspect of his artistic research, focusing mainly on the genre of landscape photography. Here the natural element is captured with great attention and described in all its variable and perceptible nuances. Rak takes a privileged viewpoint from which, undisturbed, he can admire the thick blanket of fog and clouds shrouding the treetops and creating thick, hazy atmospheres. The intent is a bird's-eye view of the tacit stillness that characterizes these places over the course of an entire day. What emerges is a panic sentiment, a clear desire to become immersed in and bonded with nature, viewed as a magical and enticing reality. The artist's aim is to capture – through the photographic medium – the sense of immensity and majesty that characterizes these landscapes, restoring them through magnetic images that have an extraordinary innate visual impact. The element of light is also very important, as Rak considers it an essential feature of his photographs and he studies its variations throughout the different hours of the day, from dawn to dusk.
Urged by his family, Martin Rakembarked on his path as an artist at a very young age, when his grandfather gave him his first camera. After completing his studies in 2007, he devoted himself entirely to his passion for photography and bought his first digital camera. This was the start of his career and the moment he decided that this art would be his metier. He became enthralled with travel photography, taking long trips to various continents. However, his works are not ordinary landscape pictures, but long exposures in black and white that allow him tosatisfy his creative desires. Sharply defined and with precise geometric framings, Rak's photographs interpret the natural landscape and human dimension, water and sky, and capture everything from the beaches of Northern Europe to the canals of Venice. Rak's uniqueness lies in the bond heestablishes with the space he wants to capture, so that he never focuses on the human being: human life is evident only in the photographs of cities, the quintessential artificial landscape, but they are uninhabited and silent.
Rak's endeavours were soon successful: in 2012 and 2013 he received honourable mention in the International PhotoAwards IPA, while in 2014 he won the Prix de la Photographie Paris Px3 and placed third in the International Photo Awards IPA that year.

Can you have bullet points in your Plain Text resume? The answer is yes! The latest version of Word hangs on to bullet points when a document is saved as Plain Text. The bullet points are smaller but they're bullet points, nonetheless. However, once your resume is in Plain Text, there's no easy way to create new bullet points. You can, however, copy and paste bullet points from within the Plain Text document. So, yes, you can have bullet points in your resume, which gives it a little more pizzazz than Plain Text resumes of yesteryear.

Greetings Exiles! Doc. Moo here with the second installment in three part series revolving around Crafting in PoE for Money. Our previous guide was hopefully able to introduce you to the more basic currencies and provide you with a base as to how orbs and items interact with each other.
This time around I will be giving you some insight on how I personally make some early currency without relying on things like the "Chaos Recipe" (covered in my previous guide on vendors). POE Affix will again be utilized throughout the crafting process.
This is so important to ensuring you are crafting things people will want to buy rather than some niche bit of junk that will sit in your stash until the last week of a league.
Check reddit and class forums and twitch to see what everyone is playing. What I mean by this is generally things like life Life/ES or Phys/Ele builds. Most of the player base has absolutely no idea what things are worth and will pay silly amounts of POE currency for a quick fix to get them mapping or round out resists after getting a desirable unique.
Jewellery and belts are my go to always. This prevents you from doing the "Chaos Recipe" (found in my vendor guide) but you will easily make 2c per piece you identify anyway.
I tend to also pick up a lot of jewels (there will be a separate section for these bad boys) and IL 71+ belts and jewellery then do a basic craft on them in the form of Transmute > Alteration spam. You either A) Hit something desirable or B) feel you have spent too much (you are looking to make a 10-30c sale for this method). Use an Augmentation if there is a free POE Affix slot and then pray to Chris Wilson and Regal.
You then head to Elreon for Amulets and Rings or Tora for the Belt and fill the remaining POE Affix slot with either a core stat or resists (preferably resists). If I am feeling exceptionally lucky I just drop an Orb of Alchemy onto them and hope for the best.
These values may appear low but provided you have a decent Life/ES roll and at least two resistances with another desirable affix, you will make an easy 2-5 Chaos, sometimes more, especially on a belt.
Rings and Amulets generally tend to need something offensive as well to really hit some money (Belts generally cannot roll anything outside of what is listed below).
Maximum Life – 70+, Belt, Rings & Amulet.
Resistance – 25%+ x2, Belt, Rings & Amulet. Two Stone Rings can easily hit 50% for two resistances; this combined with a decent Life Roll will be an easy sell or even something you will consider using yourself.
All Res – 15%+, Rings & Amulet.
Flat Ele/Phys – Rings & Amulet.
Inc Ele Dmg % – Rings & Amulet.
Core Stats Str/Dex/Int/All Attributes (Amulets) – These can be desirable for Amulets and Rings as a lot of builds need to meet requirements for gear and gems.
Inc SP – 18%+, Amulet.
These REALLY require you to know what the majority of the community is playing (referred to as the "Flavor of the Month" or "FOTM") but the pay off for your research can be huge.
Let us assume life based physical attack builds are the current FOTM and we find a Jewel of Magic Rarity with two affixes relating, Inc Phys Dmg % and Life %. This is already extremely valuable and just for you identifying it you have probably made 20c so it is absolutely worth using a Regal Orb.
Other stats like resistances, mana leech (0.35%+) and even base stats coupled with Life % as a 2 prop can make you an easy 2-10c depending on how the league is trending.
Hitting a good 3 or even 4 prop rare jewel can net you upwards a few Exalted Orbs. If you can be bothered I highly recommend picking up Jewels you find as I have made a lot of easy currency like this.
Pricing a well or even OK rolled Rare can be difficult and even harder sometimes to decide whether it's worth buying. With this in mind you can get away with overpricing a little and haggling.
Generally a decent Life roll with three resistances all over 25% will easily net you 50c-1ex. If even two of those resistances roll Tier 1 (highest possible value on that base) you are looking at a very very high ceiling for a value.
There is no method to the madness that is pricing in POE but by simply searching similar items with similar values you can guage what the community feels something is worth.
Hopefully this has served as means for you to get a leg up in a new leagues economy or allowed you to bolster your currency tab ready for that Chase Unique purchase.
If I have missed anything or you are still left with questions as a lot of the topics I cover are much broader than what can be answered in such a short guide. Feel free to hit me up in the comments section below or at my email docmoojournalism@gmail.com .
This is what i needed to read!


This is entirely true--one day, I decided to Google "Caitlyn Jenner regrets" and see if there was anything interesting. I had no idea if it would be true or not; but regrets have often followed sin throughout history. Sure enough, he said, "I'm going to be honest, I regret my transformation, I have no idea what I'm doing, I miss being a man. . ." I am aware that what I read could turn out to be a hoax, but either way it goes to show that making plans apart from God is just one big mess waiting to happen.
Well, when he transformed, it was clear that he wasn't all there. Now I guess he feels like something's missing deep down. A person with mental problems can be a hero. But the way to do that is not by embracing the mental illness and proudly wallowing in it.
John Bunyan's timeless allegory The Pilgrim's Progress contains scores of memorable characters, big and small. But the two characters that help to capture the reader's interest at the beginning of Christian's journey are perhaps the most ironic pair in the book. When Evangelist directs Christian to the gate, no one wants Christian to go. His wife and children scream for him to come back; but he plugs his ears and runs. Two friends, however, actually chase after him to try to convince him to come back. Their names are Obstinate and Pliable.
Bunyan's naming of his characters prepares you for what they will be like. When the first neighbor shows up, you know he's going to be a trip. The word obstinate means stubborn; but the character Obstinate is a pain more than that. He shows all the signs of insecurity, but covers it all up with manipulation and false expertise. His wit and sarcasm make him all the more unlikeable; yet somehow he makes you pay attention. First, he treats Christian like a fool for leaving the wealth and easy life he once had. When this fails, he resorts to forcing hostility down Christian's throat, which includes name calling like "crazy head" and "sick head," mocking the Bible, and making Christians out to be ignorant and incompetent. Well before he bitterly gives up and turns back, he makes the reader want to punch him in the nose.
Obstinate only appears in one scene and, compared to the rest of the book, is pretty minor. But he is an essential character nonetheless, because there are so many of him in the world. New Christians especially may often be invaded by Obstinates, hoping to turn them back before they get far in their Christianity. Christian knew that, even though there was much pleasure back home, there was only one way to get the burden off his back that was pulling him into Hell. Being berated by an old friend was no doubt a hurtful thing, but he set a good example to the readers of not letting hate get the best of him.
The second neighbor, Pliable, is not unlikable. The word pliable means flexible or bendable. The character is naïve and fickle, jumping into whatever appeals to him at the time. After hearing about the paradise Christian is going to, he decides he wants to join in. However, this is done in haste and for the wrong reasons. Neither of them anticipate the Slough of Despond, a mire full of doubt, fear, guilt, and shame. Christian is able to persuade Pliable to push through for a little while, but it's not long before Pliable calls it quits. He pulls himself out of the muck and climbs over a fence. Christian is left alone, later to be rescued by Help.
Pliable is a character that the reader will likely feel sorry for. He has no sense of the worth of commitment. This type of "hearer" was illustrated in Jesus's parable of the sower, in the seeds that fell on rocky ground. Matthew 13:20-21--"As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away." When Christian began his journey, he already sensed his need of rescue from the burden. But Pliable was just in it for fun. So when unpleasant things happened, he turned right around.
These two characters are just the start of a long list of thoroughly developed unbelievers who cross paths with Christian; reading about them all is almost a journey itself. The dialogue in the book is just as theologically important as the events. Obstinate and Pliable are such direct opposites; yet they both die from the same ultimate danger: unbelief. Their actions are disappointing, which is a realistic reminder of what the world is like. However, instead of discouraging us, the illustration encourages us not to be like them, because we know that the burden must be removed and we must make our way through all the sloughs and valleys in order to reach the Paradise.

Through our direct contact with mines we can offer and deliver to you any kind of coal. Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Throughout history, coal has been a useful resource. It is primarily burned for the production of electricity and/or heat, and is also used for industrial purposes, such as refining metals. A fossil fuel, coal forms when dead plant matter is converted into peat, which in turn is converted into lignite, then sub-bituminous coal, after that bituminous coal, and lastly anthracite. This involves biological and geological processes that take place over a long period.
Coal is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide releases. In 1999 world gross carbon dioxide emissions from coal usage were 8,666 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. Coal-fired electric power generation emits around 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide for every megawatt-hour generated, which is almost double the approximately 1100 pounds of carbon dioxide released by a natural gas-fired electric plant per megawatt-hour generated. Because of this higher carbon efficiency of natural gas generation, as the fuel mix in the United States has changed to reduce coal and increase natural gas generation, carbon dioxide emissions have fallen. Those measured in the first quarter of 2012 were the lowest of any recorded for the first quarter of any year since 1992.
The principal use of Thermal (or also named: Steam) Coal is power generation. Nearly 39% of the world's electricity is generated through the use of thermal coal.
oke is a solid carbonaceous residue derived from low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal from which the volatile constituents are driven off by baking in an oven without oxygen at temperatures as high as 1,000°C (1,832°F), so the fixed carbon and residual ash are fused together. Metallurgical coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. The result is pig iron, and is too rich in dissolved carbon, so it must be treated further to make steel. The coking coal should be low in sulfur and phosphorus, so they do not migrate to the metal.
The coke must be strong enough to resist the weight of overburden in the blast furnace, which is why coking coal is so important in making steel using the conventional route. However, the alternative route is direct reduced iron, where any carbonaceous fuel can be used to make sponge or pelletised iron. Coke from coal is grey, hard, and porous and has a heating value of 24.8 million Btu/ton (29.6 MJ/kg). Some cokemaking processes produce valuable byproducts, including coal tar, ammonia, light oils, and coal gas.
Petroleum coke is the solid residue obtained in oil refining, which resembles coke, but contains too many impurities to be useful in metallurgical applications.
We are offering high quality Coking Coal, procured from reliable vendors of the industry. All our vendors are quality tested, and endeavor to provide high grade coal extracted using advanced equipments. Our coking coal is of high quality as effective for the coking as widely used both for the domestic and commercial purposes. These Coking Coal is available at industrial leading prices and normally used to melt iron ore and other iron bearing materials in blast furnaces. The Coal is reacting as a chemical reducing agent and a source of heat.
he table below lists the composition for raw petroleum coke produced in a delayed coker and the corresponding composition after the raw coke has been calcined in a rotary kiln at 1200 to 1400 °C. The raw coke is classified as sponge coke and often referred to as green coke.
The adjacent photograph on the right depicts a sample of typical calcined petroleum coke.
Depending on the feedstock composition and certain operating variables, other forms of coke may be produced such as shot coke and needle coke. However, sponge coke is the form most typically formed and this article does not discuss the other forms.
Raw Petroleum Coke mainly used as fuel by many industries Green Petroleum Coke is used for further calcination to produce following products: calcined petroleum coke used in aluminum, graphite industries CPC Breeze used in refractories and other specialty industries.

Funding for MS Priorities Protected in Final Fiscal Year 2014 Budget
Over the past year, MS activists sent more than 14,000 emails and visited more than 300 congressional offices to urge them to adequately fund MS research and programs and services important to people with MS and their families in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. In mid-January, Congress finalized and the President signed into law funding levels for FY 2014 and it's clear that Congress listened to the voices and needs of MS activists. Congress included:
$29.9 billion for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), $1 billion more than under sequester;
$5 million for the MS Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), an increase of $1.2 million from pre-sequester numbers;
$2.56 billion for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), restoring industry-provided user fees;
$2.36 million for the Lifespan Respite Care Program;
$3.425 billion for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program(LIHEAP) program, restoring sequestration reductions; and,
$11.7 billion for the Social Security Administration's (SSA) administrative budget, a $650 million increase from the previous year.
This funding will help further innovative research to stop disease progression, restore function and end MS forever. It will also aid the development and availability of drugs and devices for people with MS, support family caregivers, assist families affected by MS with energy costs and ensure timely distribution of disability benefits. The Society thanks MS activists for their continued support and activism in helping important funding in FY 14.
The President is expected to release his FY 2015 budget proposal in early March, which will jumpstart congressional action on the FY 2015 budget.

UK film financier Prescience, is having a shake up. The company, which is notably known as being the majority financier of British box-office and Oscar success The King's Speech, is rebranding to its affiliate fledgling company Hindsight Media Services.
The move will see Hindsight replace Prescience, with Hindsight become the main operating company for management, new financing entities and historical Prescience companies and funds.
It's also restructuring its team: Paul Brett, who set up the original company with Tim Smith, left the business in September 2016. James Swarbrick, previously commercial director, has been appointed CEO and will take over from Smith, who will become chairman. John Story, a media investor and former EOne shareholder, joins the board as non-executive director.

Hindsight says it expects to make a number of additional hires during the first quarter of this year.
At the same time, two new funds are being launched by the group: the EIS fund Hindsight Media, which will focus on film, television and games and has already committed to projects such as Julian Fellowes' Crooked House; and a new mezzanine fund, set up as a joint venture with another UK financier. Details of the latter are expected to be announced in a few weeks.
Prescience subsidiary, Ignition Media Finance, which concluded $30M of lending in the last year, will remain the group's tactical lending subsidiary. The company will aim to increase its activities in 2017.
Hindsight is now also the biggest shareholder in the new rights management business Legacy, which was announced earlier this week.
"Our boutique media financing business has an exciting pipeline of potential projects for this year and beyond and by structuring our funds to effectively provde senior, mezzanine, development and equity along with tactical and bridge lending, we are providing flexibility, competitive pricing and often 100% of the financing of projects, for example the recent release of A Street Cat Named Bob," said Smith.
"Simultaneously, we are broadening activity to include games and television as well as film and committing to synergistic new enterprises like Legacy."
Swarbrick said: "I'm incredibly excited about this opportunity to drive the company forward during this time of accelerated change in the entertainment media. Over the past ten years, the Hindsight/Prescience team has quietly built a reputation and track record in the filmed entertainment sector with a philosophy of seeking out the best projects and delivering returns for our investors."

Charlotte Yee weighs in on WPEA
Posted in Government Whistleblowers, News
Charlotte Yee worked for the U.S. Department of Labor for twenty (20) years. During her last five years, she served as a manager and a whistleblower against waste, fraud and discrimination. She was physically attacked by her boss and eventually left federal service for her own safety. On Monday, she posted a letter about her personal journey confronting the problems with the Senate's version of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA). "Last week, when I signed MISC's change.org petition to pass the bill I did so with an asterisk," Yee says. "I did so with the understanding that the bill's main supporters would then work fervently to get the best parts of the bill passed and the poorest parts thrown out. In retrospect, it may have been a bone-headed and risky action: one made from the heart and not from the head." She realizes that "With any type of legislation, the devil is in the details." The bottom line on the Senate bill is that it "is a trojan horse." She particularly objects to provisions that would allow the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB) to deny whistleblowers a right to go to federal court either because MSPB chooses to issue a summary judgment, or because MSPB predicts that a federal court would dismiss the case. As the MSPB currently rules against whistleblowers over 98% of the time, it is easy to predict that very few cases would get MSPB's permission to go to federal court. Yee asks MISC to, "seriously consider the repercussions of the Senate bill as proposed." You can read the full text of her open letter in the continuation of this blog entry.
S.372 – Whistleblower Protection and an Open Letter to MISC
Posted in November 29th, 2010
by Charlotte in Accountability, Current Events, Federal Employee Law & Courts, Ongoing Saga, the Quest for Answers, Whistleblowers, Working Conditions
Dear Make It Safe Campaign (MISC),
Throughout the course of this inadvertent journey into a whistleblower's world, I've found few true heroes. Tom Devine of the Government Accountability Project (GAP) is among the handful I can say has no truer agenda than defending needed transparency and protecting the underdogs that reveal it. His work with the Government Accountability Project (GAP) spans decades and his institutional knowledge of accountability protection is unparallelled.
I cried in relief when GAP announced it would defend Martin Salazar, a whistleblower whose EEOC disclosures led to criminal prosecution and jail time. GAP was there for Mr. Salazar when the rest of society ran away in fear. GAP was there for Robert MacLean too, when his attorney could no longer foot the bill from years of litigation in MSPB as well as our US Courts. On a personal note, when the Department of Labor dismissed my own complaints of foul play with scores of affidavits attesting to the destruction of evidence not just in my case, but in a policy that ordered such, GAP put me in touch with the people who could order remedy. (A point made when Citizens for Accountability and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with NARA and NARA ordered an investigation into the matter).
It pains me therefore, to disagree with MISC here, on the fate of Senate Bill 372.
Last week, when I signed MISC's change.org petition to pass the bill I did so with an asterisk. Robert MacLean, appealing to his supporters, made a number of personal pleas to get the legislation out of the Senate and into reconciliation mode. When I put my name to the petition, I did so with the understanding that the bill's main supporters would then work fervently to get the best parts of the bill passed and the poorest parts thrown out. In retrospect, it may have been a bone-headed and risky action: one made from the heart and not from the head.
My concerns with the Senate bill still stand. You can read more on the analysis here: Good Intentions, Bad Law: The Proposed Whistleblower Act S.372. With any type of legislation, the devil is in the details. While much has changed since then — notably my elevated opinion of MSPB leadership — laws should be written for the lowest common denominator: those that would seek to circumvent them.
Put briefly, as it now stands, Senate Bill 372 is a trojan horse. On its surface, it promises the benefit of a jury trial in district court. In reality however, it brings the worst of both worlds (i.e. MSPB and District Court) into play.
MSPB currently has special rules that don't apply in US Courts. Under Senate bill S.372, those special rules — such as the use of hearsay and sua sponte in camera review — are still valid. Under Senate bill S.372, the use of the worst aspects of district court are then added to MSPB's arsenal. Namely, under the proposed Senate iteration, MSPB is now permitted two horrible actions: the right to predetermine whether a case would be dismissed, and the right to render summary judgment. In combination with overreaching subjective authority (i.e. hearsay and sua sponte in camera review), under the proposed law, MSPB would have more authority than the US court system and alongside with it, essentially unchecked power. Further, as the aforementioned analysis notes, the right to a jury trial is precluded in essence by MSPB's right to predetermine dismissal. Should MSPB chose not to hear a case, the whistleblower appellant has no option other than bringing the case before the Federal Circuit, sans hearing. Those decisions are, as is current practice, deferential: not questioned beyond whether such a decision was outside of permitted statute.
Returning to my current evaluation of the new MSPB as a purveyor of governmental merit does not change my opinion. As a quasi-judicial entity in the Executive Branch, MSPB is an interpreter of law, not a creator of it. To the extent that it can divine lawmakers' intent, it does. To the extent that hard rules are put in place, it abides by them. Such is the nature of our tripartite democracy. In attempting to see this from MSPB's point of view — the new whistleblower legislation makes their mission of retaining merit in government more difficult, and not less. My own viewpoint here, is not from that of an advocate, but as one who has experienced MSPB and MSPB laws firsthand. The new laws and the processes needed to adjudicate them are in essence, yet another twist in the already complex Gordian knot created by the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA) and the first Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA). As such, my own preference would be legal simplification by lawmakers rather than an added layer of complexity.
As both a pragmatic matter and one of loyalty to individuals, I still stand with MISC in voicing a need for whistleblower protection. I also exercise my common sensibilities too however, in asking MISC to seriously consider the repercussions of the Senate bill as proposed.

Jacques de Lacretelle, född 14 juli 1888, död 2 januari 1985, var en fransk författare, sonson till Pierre-Henri de Lacretelle.

Biografi
Lacretelle gav den klassiska franska konstformen den analytiska romanen ett modernt, av Marcel Proust och André Gide influerat innehåll. I Silbermann (1922) skildrar han en intellektuell, av kärlek till fransk kultur besjälad judegosses martyrium i ett parisiskt lycéum; tendensfritt, i ett individuellt fall, belyser han här problemet med judarnas inställning till det moderna samhället. Till en annan grupp av de av samhället utstötta hör hjältinnan i La Bonifas (1925), en homosexuell kvinna, som under första världskriget ger prov på sin heroism och moraliska överlägsenhet. Lacretelles senare romaner är Amour nupitial (1929), Le retour de Silbermann (1929) och den i större format planlagda släktskildringen Les hauts Ponts (Sabine 1932, Les fiançailles 1933).

INDIA climate activist Licypriya Kangujam on why she took a stand
প্রকাশিত তারিখ : February 7, 2020 | আপডেট সময়: 12:36 PM
She is only eight, but Licypriya Kangujam has already been campaigning for action to tackle climate change in her native India for two years.
The young activist has pushed for new laws to curb India's high pollution levels and wants climate change lessons to be mandatory in schools.
I cry when I see children lose their parents or become homeless due to the dangers of disasters, she told the #Ftv News.
But, she adds: If you call me Greta of India, you are not covering my story.
Referring to Greta Thunberg, whose Fridays for Future school strike has grown into a global movement, Licypriya says that while she has much in common with the Swedish teenager, I have my own identity, story.
I already began a movement to fight climate change before Greta started, she said, adding that the two are good friends who respect each other.The pair both attended the UN climate change conference, also known as COP25, in the Spanish capital Madrid in December.Residing in India's north-eastern state of Manipur, Licypriya says she was a small child when she accompanied her father on fundraising events for victims of a powerful and deadly earthquake in Nepal in 2015.
But it was after attending a UN disaster conference in Mongolia with him in 2018 that she felt the need to get involved in activism.
I got lots of inspiration and new knowledge from the people giving speeches. It was a life-changing event, she says.
My heart feels sore for people who cannot help themselves when disaster strikes.
In response, Licypriya set up Child Movement, a body that aims to raise awareness to protect the planet by tackling climate change and natural disasters.Licypriya has also campaigned, often alone, for new laws to help address the issue of poor air quality across India.
She has even designed what she calls her Sukifu device – a symbolic survival kit for the future she created to emphasise the need to curb air pollution in the country.
In November, schools in India's capital, Delhi, were ordered to close by authorities who said air pollution in the city had reached unbearable levels.
India's Supreme Court says world is 'laughing' at smog issues
Making climate change a compulsory subject to be taught from an early age in schools nationwide is one of Licypriya's main aims.
Rajasthan has now become the first state in India to add climate change to the school curriculum, she says.She adds that the Indian state of Gujarat will be the second in the country to agree to educate children on the crisis.
Licypriya says she also feels inspired to continue fighting for government action to tackle climate change after witnessing others provide help to victims.
I get very happy when I see rescuers saving children and their parents from danger.
But, she says, leaders need to stop dispelling the messages of activists.
They are not taking any action, I want all leaders to do more – otherwise our future will die soon. They must act now, to save our planet and our future.

Home > National > North Korea
Kim Jong-un disappears from public eye, again
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's last appearance at a fertilizer factory in Sunchon, South Pyongan Province, on May 1. [YONHAP]
After quelling rumors of illness with his sudden appearance earlier this month, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has once again submerged into weeks of silence.
Kim was last seen at a ribbon cutting ceremony for a fertilizer factory in Sunchon, South Pyongan Province, on May 1, which marked his first public reappearance in three weeks.
In mid-April, the dictator disappeared from the public eye for weeks, even failing to attend ceremonies marking the birth of his grandfather and the regime's founder Kim Il Sung, the most important holiday for the country.
The young Kim's disappearance sparked wild speculation around the globe about his health, triggered by one South Korean outlet's report that he was recovering from cardiovascular surgery. CNN subsequently ran a report suggesting the leader was in "grave danger," followed by a litany of speculation from various media with allegations that ranged from sickness to death.
Those conjectures were dismissed with Kim's appearance on May 1 — during which he appeared visibly healthy — but the event has once again been followed by weeks of silence from the dictator.
One South Korean government official acknowledged the situation was unusual.
"When Kim appears after periods of silence, he usually resumes a flurry of activities," the official said. "But this time he has once again stopped public activities after showing that he was alright."
South Korean authorities believe Kim is staying at a special villa in Wonsan, Kangwon Province, that has become his preferential seat of government in recent years.
An article from the Rodong Sinmun — the regime's leading state-run newspaper — from Monday stressed Kim's love for Kangwon Province, which it characterized as occupying "the first place in the leader's heart."
From Wonsan, Kim is believed to be conducting regular field guidance tours — the most characteristic of public activities carried out by North Korean leaders — around the country via train or car.
Intelligence from the North suggests the dictator takes a special train when traveling, which also carries with it his automobiles that transport him from train stations to special locales so as to maintain secrecy.
"The Wonsan villa has communication and reporting systems comparable to that in Pyongyang, so it is possible [for Kim] to rule from either location," said the official in Seoul.
Accompanying him in Wonsan are close confidantes like his younger sister Kim Yo-jong and Vice Director of the Organization and Guidance Department Jo Yong-won.
The daily slog of encouraging workers and giving instructions at workplaces has been left up to technocrats in the government, like State Affairs Commission Vice Chairman Pak Pong-ju or Premier Kim Jae-ryong.
The reasons for Kim Jong-un's reclusiveness may be attributed to Covid-19 as well as an intention to promote the regime's political stability, experts say.
From Wonsan, Kim may be deliberating the course of his so-called "breakthrough" policies to overcome the country's persistent economic difficulties.

A Successful Lutheran Day on the Hill
Nearly 200 people from the three Iowa synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gathered on Monday, March 12, to meet with their local representatives and advocate for the needs of Iowans in their communities. Lutheran Day on the Hill was a joint effort of Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI), the three Iowa synods of the ELCA, and the ELCA Hunger Appeal which provided a grant for the event. This grant made it possible to provide transportation to the event in Des Moines from the out-lying areas of the state. Twenty-five people boarded vans which stopped in Iowa City and Newton. They were joined in Des Moines by many others in the synod from Central Iowa.
Participants of Lutheran Day on the Hill gather on the Iowa State Capitol steps. In the very front row (left to right): Doug Johnson, CEO of Lutheran Services in Iowa; Bishop Michael Last, Western Iowa Synod; Bishop Michael Burk, Southeastern Iowa Synod; Governor Terry Branstad; Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds; and Bishop Steven Ullestad, Northeastern Iowa Synod.
The day began with all participants gathering at Elim Christian Fellowship (adjacent to the Capitol grounds). Bishop Burk greeted the gathering and offered prayer. Mikka McCracken from the ELCA Hunger Appeal spoke about the work of the hunger appeal using the acronym READ (relief, education, advocacy, and development) noting that one of the things which makes the work of the ELCA unique is involvement in all four of these areas. She also spoke about the importance of the work of advocacy. Clients from LSI spoke of the life-transforming services they have received and Doug Johnson, LSI President and CEO, reminded the gathering of the partnership LSI has with the State of Iowa to carry out this work and the need for adequate funding to be provided by the state for these services. After a briefing regarding the logistics of contacting legislators, the group moved to the Capitol for a group picture following remarks from the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Participants then met individually or in small groups with their legislators urging them to not lose sight of the needs of vulnerable Iowans as budget decisions were made.
Thank you to all from our synod who helped may this Lutheran Day on the Hill one of the best ever!

A North African treat is to roast an egg for 300 minutes. Good? I think I'd like it.

Weird that the eggs take on a "nutty flavor," as the article describes. Still, I'd try it.


Originally, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, which is a prequel to the 4-season series of Battlestar Galactica, was slated to air this fall on Syfy... presumably around November.
The Plan shows us the beginning of the series again, but this time from the perspective of the Cylons as they deal with those pesky humans.
Now, Syfy is saying that The Plan won't air until sometime in 2010... Yet the DVD is still slated to be released on October 27th on DVD.
I don't get it. OK, I might suspect it, but I'm not sure why Syfy would try and alienate us like this.
Are you kidding me? I'm not sure how long the consumer's memory is, but I'm still peeved that they broke up the BSG seasons into 10-episode bits so they can sell us 2 boxed sets of DVD's for each season.
I guess they've been bolstered by how well Caprica may have sold on DVD being that they released it on DVD in April and is slated to air on January 22nd.
Regardless, I am looking forward to the prequel.
Are you strong enough to hold off buying the Battlestar Galactica: The Plan DVD's until the air actually shows or will you buckle and snag it.
