Advice for friends and family
The people we interviewed experienced a wide range of reactions from their family and friends. A few caregivers felt their group of friends remained the same. In general, however, caregivers saw their friends and family less often than before. There were also several people who did not receive any support at all from family.
Marc, who became a caregiver for a friend, feels the situation has been well accepted by his friend's family, his wife, and his own family: "People are open, welcoming, and we have good links." Similarly, several other caregivers felt that they had the support they needed. Val, for example, said, "We had the best network of friends and family ever. They're just awesome. We had people that were coming to see us when Dave was well who stopped [seeing us], but the real friends and family kept coming. They kept coming day after day, weekend after weekend, never forgetting Dave."
It was more common though for certain members of the family to be very supportive while others were not. Lillian's sister, for example, developed a special relationship with Lillian's son and does an amazing job looking after him. Many others caregivers spoke about a particularly supportive parent, sibling, child, or sometimes aunt or cousin.
The support from Shoshana's family-in-law was very poor, but she did receive great support from her sister.
The support from my husband's side of the family, in my opinion, was very poor. My husband comes from a large family. There are eleven children in the family. There's a couple of them that are great because they've had their own experiences with illnesses. The rest are oblivious to what this illness involves and that type of thing. His parents are both deceased. His father passed away when the illness, I think, was only a year or 2 old. So, his mother was elderly, but she was a caregiver because she had a mentally challenged child. So, she was wrapped up. Her support was concern for a son kind of thing. My family's side was probably a little bit more understanding. My father had an illness and my mother had to deal with that for a long time. So, she was always concerned and she understood when I needed to get a break, get away kind of thing. She understood that. My sister is supportive, as she'll invite me if it's something that my husband wouldn't go to because of heat or whatever. She will still invite me. She will offer it to me, and even though she and her husband could be going to this or whatever. It could be couples going to it, but she will still give me the option of saying "Yes, I want to come along" or "I don't want to come along", which I appreciate so much because, often, couples won't invite us if they know that my husband can't go.
Youth caregivers
Several caregivers we interviewed were only children or adolescents when they started caring for a parent. These young caregivers are often called "youth caregivers". They told us about similar experiences with family and friends. Kai, for example, received a lot of support from friends and family; their home became like "Grand Central Station" just before his father passed away. People were coming and going, and people brought them everything they needed.
Rachel's father is not involved with her mother's care and she often feels she is caring for both of them.
Snoopey, a youth caregiver, has no support from family; occasionally a neighbour will help her.
On my dad's side, he's not in the picture. He wanted nothing to do with me throughout my life up till I was three years. And then he got remarried, and then he had something to do with me. He wanted a boy. He was there for the labour, and then after the birth, and then after he found out that it was a girl, he took off. That was it. He didn't take care of me whatsoever.

Snoopey
Drew's siblings all had different reasons to be involved in the care or not.
I get that a lot, particularly around the fact that I'm a male—and I'm a young male to boot—and that I have sisters. So, when people learn that I [give care to my mother], the next question out of their mouth is, "Well, why aren't your sisters doing this?" For me, the reality is this: I think it, as far as the choice thing goes, it's to each their own to some degree.
Caregivers also received support from their own children. Although some remained uninvolved, many people's children were quite supportive, or at least understanding. Hélène, for example, said that her children supported their father in an exceptional way: "They all decided to have babies because he wanted grandchildren. So we got five. It seems whenever there's, 'Oh, there's nothing left,' there's a baby. But now, they closed the family channel I think."
Rowdyneko doesn't do the caregiving willingly, but her son surprises her every day with his unselfish support.

I haven't really figured out how to get around that, because I so dislike the whole caregiving thing. And I think in some ways, my husband hasn't figured out how to get around that either because he knows that I'm not happy doing this. I mean, I try and do it. I don't complain. And somebody said to me the other day, "Well, you never complain about this." And I'm going, "Well, what's the point? There's no point in complaining; it's just what I have to do." I mean, no choices here. So, not much point in complaining, not going to change anything. But I'm sure my husband would tell you there are times—like, I don't do it willingly; I do it because I have to, and I'm not really that happy admitting that. I mean, it's true, but I'd like to be doing it because it's so much fun, or it brings you closer or…No. I mean, I don't think that's true. It's not true for me anyway. I can't stand any of that stuff. I mean, I'm really lucky that I have my kids because my oldest son is… Honestly, every day he just surprises the heck out of me. He's just so completely—and my husband's like this too actually; I'm so glad he got that gene from my husband—is so completely unselfish. And so, he will go in there, he can go in there and he can cut his hair and trim his beard and stuff. I can't stand doing that stuff. If I was absolutely pushed against the wall, I would do it, but fortunately he just does it. And he doesn't mind. He goes, "Well, I'll just bring my razor in and I'll do dad's." And the other day, he reminded—he wasn't just reminding me—we were talking about Christmas and some of the issues around Christmas and he said, "Well, you know what? It doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks. It's what Dad wants, and what Dad feels about it." And that's just completely his attitude, which I find absolutely amazing because I have a hard time. Intellectually, yes, I agree with him. But on the other hand, I go, "Yeah, but what about what I want?" And when you're a caregiver, that does not factor. It doesn't matter what you want, not at all. And that's hard to take sometimes.
Rowdyneko
Not receiving support from family
In some situations, caregivers have less support from family for practical reasons. For example, Christiane's husband doesn't have any children or siblings that can provide support. Also, if family lived far away, caregivers often received less hands-on support.
Some of the caregivers we interviewed felt abandoned by their family and friends, which was very painful for them. Some did not understand why certain people disappeared from their lives, or never helped care for their family member.
Anne, who cares for her husband and daughter, had two very contrasting experiences. When her daughter had an accident, friends and family were very supportive. With her husband's illness, however, they seemed to have disappeared.
It was a real shock for Anne that her husband's family disappeared.
Your browser does not support the audio element. 5_family_and_friends_anne_audio.mp3
I feel like through most of it, we never got much support from anybody. Not family. The family disappeared. Everybody was there in the very beginning, and then the family just disappeared. And I mean, he has a brother who lived ten minutes away from us. He visited us maybe once a year. I haven't seen them in, I don't know, five years now. He has one brother who didn't visit him either, but eventually now that he's older, he starts to visit him every couple of months maybe. So, he was kind of isolated, everybody kind of drifted away and didn't bother with him. And I'm at work all day, so he's alone a lot of the time too, so it's a hard part for him too.
I was really shocked that his family disappeared. His brothers, I thought they would be there for him, but they weren't there for him. Even my family, I mean, they tried to support me, but nobody ever offered to come and stay with him so I could go out. Nobody, nobody wanted anything to do with it really. I guess because it was a horrible situation and they want to pretend it's not there. But no, it hasn't been a positive [experience]. Some people might think they have a positive experience, but I didn't have a positive experience at all.
Have you ever asked for help to these friends or family or have you?
He has a really nice cousin. He actually came twice. But when you ask people—like even with him—I felt like I was inconveniencing him. Like, "Yeah, okay. I'll do it," kind of thing. Nobody said, "Yeah sure. We'll help out. We'll give you a break." Nobody's ever done that. Never ever, nobody. So, I don't have that kind of support.
Several caregivers were taking care of a parent, but received little help from their siblings. Often, this resulted in feelings of anger, abandonment, and betrayal. Barbara's sibling, for example, did nothing to help with caregiving. But when she came for a monthly dinner with her mother, she would receive all the adoration. Barbara had to learn how to put that aside.
Even though Mike's wife has a strong family, they did not remain in contact when Judy was diagnosed with MS.
When you're diagnosed with MS, one of the first things they tell you in some of the meetings is that you'll find out who your friends are real fast, because it's such a long term, and then they start reading about it. And you'll find out who your true family is real fast. Oh yeah, right. Judy has a very strong family.
In some cases, the families' interference became a very negative experience and it even caused additional stress and worries.
Sheni's family-in-law did not offer any help. In fact, they made it harder for her.
Do I just not find a job and go through the assets or do I find a job and leave him at home by himself, or do I find somebody to help me? There was no help available. So, in order for me to get somebody to help, it would have to be a relative who was willing to do it for essentially nothing, or for a very low fee…or you just take a chance and leave them at home.
Christine's sister criticized her for the way she was caring for their mother, and accused her of being selfish and abandoning their mother.

I met someone who became very special to me. I was dating someone and that, in my lifetime, it has not occurred very often—that I became very interested and attached or went out with someone—and I was very happy. And he lived close by and he actually cared for his mother and we got along very well and… Well again, like she said, "You're abandoning your mother." And everything I did that didn't concern our mother, or caring for her, or the house was considered selfish or abandoning. And anything I did was never good enough. Like, she would say, "Is mom eating well?" And I said, "Well, I buy the groceries. I make the food. I can't force feed her. She's eating like she's eating." And she said, "Well, I think mom is losing weight." And I said, "Well, if you don't like what I'm making or she doesn't, why don't you do it?"
And she said, "I will. I'm going to come once a week and make a nice dinner for mom." And that was in 2007. In 2011, I was still waiting for her to come and make dinner, not only once a week, but once.
Support from friends
Most of the caregivers we spoke to had at least a few supportive and understanding friends. At the same time, many caregivers generally saw their friends less often after they started caregiving. Several caregivers also had understanding neighbours who provided support. The Smiths, however, noticed that their friends were less available because they too were in caregiving situations. David's group of friends did not vanish; in fact, they still help out a fair amount.
When Rachel started opening up to friends, she found that many of them were also caring for their parents.
So that has been very, beyond helpful, that support group who—they are just my friends at this point really—and then, as well, the therapist. And then, just surrounding myself with people who are up to having honest and real conversations. So I think, at that dark time in my life, I wasn't with people who could handle what I was going through.
Asking for help—and even receiving help—was sometimes difficult for the people we interviewed. They often mentioned reasons like "I don't like to impose that on her", "I am tired of asking", or, "Why take away his freedom? I feel bad." For example, Marlyn explained that she is less likely to ask her neighbours at 11pm for help, even if homecare was unable to come.
When others take care of her mother, Ginny worries that she is giving them a lot of responsibility.
For caregivers, I think, one of the best things that happened for me was when my brother came up for two weeks, and my husband and I went on a holiday, and my brother and his wife came up and stayed with my mother for two weeks. And it was wonderful, because I was comfortable leaving her.
Christiane finds it difficult to ask friends for help, especially since she is not able to pay them.
It's the same thing. He was getting up at night and falling. Now, try to lift this. He is all flabby. And he didn't want anybody. Because now, "My God, I have no choice, I have to get someone. I cannot leave you on the floor." Which means that you have to bother a neighbor, and then you... If we had a budget for this, then you feel less embarrassed.
Several caregivers explained how they had to learn to be more comfortable with asking for or accepting help.
Michael is learning to step back and accept when people offer to help.
And similarly, for us to have a social life it really means inviting people here because it's easier for us to do that than to try to find care in the evening and all that sort of stuff. But part of the learning is to—so we often will do the meals and so forth, and our friends might say, "Well, why don't we, why don't we just bring the meal?" "No, no, no.
Lilian & Michael
Rowdyneko said, "The people out around you feel helpless too. I feel helpless all the time, but they feel helpless too. And [my sister-in-law] felt really helpless, particularly because of the distance, and she said […] 'What can I do?' And I said, 'Stay in touch with me.' So every single Saturday since, she has sent me an e-mail about her week and asked me how my week was. And I've actually absolutely loved it."

Maneater tigress claims eighth victim in west UP
Priyangi Agarwal | TNN | Updated: Jan 29, 2014, 7:04 IST
BAREILLY: A tigress, which has been on the prowl in the districts of western Uttar Pradesh for almost a month, mauled a farmer to death on Sunday night, its eight victim in less than a month.
Devendra Saini (35), a farmer, was working in his field in Badhapur village of Bijnor when the tigress attacked him. His wife, Suman, told officials that the tigress dragged Devendra to the nearby forest before it killed him.
The elusive cat made Vijay Singh (20), a farmer in Moradabad district, its first target on December 29 after it strayed into human habitation possibly from Amangarh forest. Since then, the tigress has killed seven people in Bijnor and Moradabad districts of western Uttar Pradesh and one in Uttarakhand's Kalagarh.
BC Brahma, divisional forest officer of Moradabad division, told TOI that the maneater's tactic so far has been to hide itself in the cane fields before it went for the kill.
"At present, the tigress is moving near Badhapur village of Bijnor," said Kamlesh Kumar, forest conservator of the Moradabad division.
The forest officials have declared the tigress as a maneater and six shooters have been deployed for its killing. The department has also placed baits and cages at several places in the region.
However, the sub-divisional officer of Bijnor division Salil Shukla says it has been difficult for the shooters to kill the cat as she hides in the sugarcane fields during the day. "Nearly 90% of the region is covered with sugarcane crop and hence, it is extremely difficult to tranquilize or shoot her," said Shukla.

Wonder when or where you can ever find actual subjective views of phones, without the authors kissing the arse of Apple and Samsung. How I wish for a real review. I guess I can always LOL.
you have every criterion. but phone is a phone and it most essential use is TALKING. which is the best phone for TALKING., particularly for moderately hearing impaired and not using hearing aids. It is absurd to talk about camera, internet use etc etc.
The LG V20 is there best phone for music, and it isn't even close. I'm an audiophile and I have had very high end components and this sound quality from this phone and its capabilities deliver incredible sound, and can drive high-end headphones like the HiFiMan 400i's.
Nope, the Note is the best overall phone and camera phone. The iPhone the best camera phone?!? I don't think so!
XPERIA XZ PREMIUM is performance king has best and first 4K HDR display with most accurate colors possible. It has most natural camera with best stabilization. It also has best secondary cam with ultimate stabilization. Best speaker setup. One of the top 5 phones for battery backup on 100%charge(iPhone 8 or 8Plus not tested but don't think they will be in top 5 positions).
XPERIA XZ PREMIUM is presently holding the throne of best all round smartphone.
@MARK SPOONAUER please get you info correct and please do more research before posting.
Usually I just don't read them.
I'll stick with HTC..They have always treated me well and I like supporting the underdogs..
So much slamming of phones and phablets. What's the best phone you have is the one in your hand. Deal with it.
I personally like more ram like people like to have in their computers so 6 gigs is fine right now. Being able to input with a stylus is also a plus.
I think a cell phone should provide phone service as a high priority. It would be nice see that feature addressed.
Many folks live outside the center of a large city..

Having a very strong marketing campaign is the key to a successful business and when it comes to restaurants, more than 70% of the campaign is held in the online. Food photography is highly important for advertising restaurants, which is why many restaurant owners invested a great deal of money in it in the past years. However, as easy as this might sound, it is recommended to hire a food photographer in order to benefit from the best results, so a quick research on the internet to look for a professional is mandatory and websites such as www.foodstudiohire.com/ might be a good starting point.
In order to increase the number of customers coming at your restaurant, it is important to provide them a glimpse of the dishes you can offer them once they walk into the restaurant. You can make your service tangible through food photography. Your customers will know how the dish they want to order is supposed to look like once they see a picture of it in the menu, which believe it or not, increases the chances for them to actually order that dish.
Food photography is a great way to express your brand's personality and a way of communicating with your customers. Whether your restaurant's personality is playful, bespoke, minimalist or high-end, make sure you capture the essence and offer your customers an idea upon how the atmosphere is like within your restaurant. Ask your food photographer to take photos while cooking the dishes for instance to show customers the attention and care that goes into all dishes.
Even though this might sound like an old cliché, you have to agree that it is actually true, since pictures do speak a thousand words. People react better to seeing a photo of certain dishes a restaurant prepares rather than listening to their friends or acquaintances that have been to that specific restaurant describing the food they tasted there. Customers will be more interested in tasting a certain dish at your restaurant after seeing a picture of it rather than hearing about it from someone else.
Food photography is a great method to promote restaurants on the internet, since numerous people nowadays have access to it and have accounts on popular social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. What is more, Instagram is a must-have in your marketing campaign.

Restaurant KPIs: 5 Key Performance Indicators for Restaurants
By: Kendal Austin
If I had a dollar for every time I used the word "data-driven" in the past six months, I'd maybe have enough money to open a restaurant. Data is driving business these days, especially in the highly competitive restaurant industry. Toast's 2017 Restaurant Technology Report found that 48% of restaurant owners check key restaurant KPIs on a daily basis. Because she who has the most cash flow, lowest prime cost, best RevPASH, and highest retention rate - wins.
While it may not be possible to define the "silver bullet" of restaurant metrics that determines the success or failure of the business, we should talk about where to focus.
So, which restaurant KPI is the most important? Check out some expert opinions and vote in the poll below.
Restaurant Key Performance Indicators to Measure
1. Cash Flow
Cash flow is simply the amount of money going in and out of the restaurant. It's essentially how much cash you have on hand. Naturally, you'd look for a positive cash flow where the cash input exceeds the cash output over a period of time.
Cash Flow = Cash Input- Cash Output
"If you don't keep an eye on [cash flow], you realize later you're in a hole and you can't recover," says Chris Yeo, owner of Straits Restaurants in San Francisco.
2. COGS
COGS or Cost of Goods Sold refers to the cost required to create each of the food and beverage items that you sell to guests. It requires an accurate COGS is often representative of the largest expenses for the restaurants and thus an important metric for profitability.
COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchased Inventory - Final Inventory
"You simply cannot manage your food costs if you do not know what they are," says John Nessel of Restaurant Resource Group. "You cannot know what they are if you do not count and record you inventory variances."
3. Prime Cost
Rather than looking at ways to make more money overall, some strategists will urge you to first look at cutting expenses to improve profitability. Prime Cost is the standard way of determining how much it costs to operate your restaurant and is a standard line item on your P&L statement.
Prime Cost = Total COGS + Total Labor
"The most profitable restaurants I've ever worked with all track their prime costs on a weekly basis. They don't wait around until their monthly or 4-week P&L is prepared to find out what happened," says Jim Laube, founder of RestaurantOwner.com. "And for their efforts in preparing a weekly report, they are rewarded handsomely on their bottom lines." I'd imagine that one of our blog contributors Ryan Gromfin would be inclined to agree with him.
4. RevPASH
RevPASH stands for Revenue Per Available Seat Hour during a given time period (and sounds really cool when you say it). Developed by Sheryl E. Kimes at Cornell University, RevPASH is used to optimize labor scheduling, plan food purchasing, and to improve table turn times.
RevPash = Total revenue / (available seats x opening hours)
RevPASH is a good measurement because it uses time and capacity in addition to average check to paint a bigger picture than just margins or average checks do on their own," says Ryan Croson at Vanee, who, for the record, doesn't share my opinion that the acronym is cool.
5. Retention or Repeat Visitor Rate
A restaurant is only as strong as its loyal customers. Some experts argue that all other metrics are moot points if the customer experience isn't up to par. If acquiring a new customer is six to seven times more expensive than keeping an existing customer, this might be the best way to measure the success of the business.
Retention Rate = ((Number of customers at end of period - Number of new customers acquired during that period) ÷ number of customers at start of period)) x 100
Business consultant Adam Witmer tells the cautionary tale of the restaurant that focused heavily on upselling and "squeezing" customers and it went out of business within just a few years. "The problem with the failed restaurant was that they never really considered the final and most important stage - locking a customer into their brand," he says.
Note: The most difficult thing about calculating Retention Rate is finding the data to plug into that formula. Check out systems with built-in customer relationship management tools to track customer history.
This list hardly scratches the surface of important metrics, but if you had to choose just one metric to determine the health of your restaurant, what would it be?

Unibet belongs to the group of largest online bookmakers in Europe, with the Scandinavian region, Netherlands, Belgium and France being its crucial markets. It also has an increasingly growing cutomer base in the UK and the German-speaking countries.
The bookmaker deserves particular credit for European Sportsbetting Operator of the Year 2006, 2008 and 2009 titles awarded by the prestigious eGaming Review. Unibet is also among the twelve leading gaming companies in Europe with a membership in the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA).

In years that followed, Unibet has developed into a company which at present can boast over 650 employees and 10 million customers in more than 150 countries. Unibet has strengthened its bookmaking position in Scandinavia by acquiring Maria Holdings, the largest online bingo operator in the Nordic market, and Travnet (Swedish harness racing), in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Unibet.com contains a comprehensive sports betting section which covers more than 50 different sports. Apart from the usual disciplines (e.g. badminton, soccer, football, floorball, handball, trotting, golf, cricket, plus exotic pesapallo – a Finnish variation of baseball) and live betting (about 80 events every day), the betting offer includes such unique options as: superscore (predicting the correct score of the 3 matches on a coupon), supertoto (soccer-lottery coupons), Swedish trotting (via the Travnet Live Racing platform) and French horse racing. English football was the most popular betting market for Unibet's customers in 2009 with 17 million bets accepted.
Additionally, since 2009 Unibet offers live sports streaming that adds a whole new dimension to in-running betting. In 2009, the online bookmaker streamed 4 500 live events out of the total 21,000 live betting events offered.

Unibet's smaller football partners include Romanian Rapid Bucuresti, Žalgiris Vilnius (very popular Lithuanian football club), Ferencváros Budapest (famous Hungarian football club), as well as JK Nõmme Kalju, Estonian football club.
Since 2009, Unibet has also been the titular sponsor of the Polish football second division 1. League. Because of the the adoption of the Act on Games of Chance by the Polish government, the cooperation on sponsoring the Polish 1. Liga has been suspended in March 2010.
In 2012 the Scandinavian bookmaker became the main sponsor of the Belgium football club Standard Liege. That same year Unibet signed a partnering agreement with two football clubs of the Dutch Superleague – Copenhagen and Midtjylland.

The next time you step out of doors your house, you might want to take a more in-depth study your private home's landscaping and hardscaping. Upgrading a domestic's landscaping from OK to W-O-W can growth ordinary fee from 10-20%, according to investigate from Virginia Tech.
Landscaping is going beyond simply flora and shrubs to hardscaping, which incorporates retaining walls, patios, walkways paver driveways and other guy-made enhancements on your outdoor space. There are hundreds of landscaping portfolios at the web. You would possibly try looking landscaping and hardscaping thoughts.
A panorama contractor or panorama architect can paintings with the patron to generate a detailed plan. Typically, the homeowner then hires a landscape contractor to perform the set up. A genuinely professional landscaping firm can do both.
It is going without saying that you want a layout professional. Like any domestic development project, don't forget this an funding-discover the proper expert who's knowledgeable, professional and eager to collaborate. Be sincere- if you do now not have the time or the inclination to preserve your mission, ask about low-maintenance plants and easy-care hardscaping.
You and your landscape contractor should anticipate to walk the assets a few instances. There's more to the venture than including; you will want to decide if there are loss of life bushes or overgrown shrubs that need putting off. And the pro will factor out regions of intricate grading, irrigation desires and gadgets that may require just a bit of clean.

As conservatives, it can be easy to grow discouraged. There are very few of us. It seems that all of American Christianity (sorry, David de Bruyn) is abandoning the way of worship that we understand to be reverent. The good, the true, and the beautiful rarely brings in an audience. Our churches are shrinking. Fundamentalism is dying. We have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. But God's people have forsaken their covenant, thrown down his hymns, and killed his prophets with the sword. We, even we only, are left, and they seek our lives, to take them away.
I am one who generally advocates a frank appreciation of the situation. The state of the church and separatist Christianity does, at times, seem very grave. We ought not be discouraged, however. There are still Christians who appreciate reverence in worship (I know it; I have met them; I have served beside them). All is not lost. There are actually many things for which to be encouraged. Numerous handfuls of Christians of many different stripes are, in many different ways, still laboring to fight against the ecclesiastical trends advocating pseudo-relevance (for examples, see this, this, this, or this, just to name a few). But even if there was not so much to be encouraged about, the truth of the matter is the Lord is still God.
We must be ready to sacrifice the political power within movements at the altar of following Jesus Christ more fully. It is always painful (speaking in a fleshly way) to see the control we have in previous years enjoyed move toward others with opposing viewpoints. This is natural. When we see the power and control of institutions and movements moving from those who share our viewpoints toward those who do not, it easy, from a natural sense of the loss, to let the vitriol spew forth from our mouths and pens (and keyboards). Sometimes this grief of the loss of power is justified, for we should lament the spread of irreverence and blasphemy and falsehood in the holy worship of the Triune God. But the line between justified indignation (John 2:17) and carnal panic (Matt 16:22) is a difficult one to draw.
When we are confused where our justified indignation and carnal panic begins and ends, we should remind ourselves that the Lord is still God. Jesus never promised us that serving him would be easy. He never told us that the money and energy we have given to Christian institutions would ensure their perpetuation orthopathy (as if they ever had it to begin with). Yes, we may be forced to take smaller churches, have smaller ministries, and even see our young people go the way of all flesh. But the Lord is still God. What we are doing is good and true and right. (The case for this has been made on this website and elsewhere many times, and is not the point of this article.) As good, true, and right, we ought to continue doing it, no matter what the cost.
We are not pragmatists. We must remain principled. Church history has repeatedly shown (as have the history of the people of Israel) that a simple majority does not prove the truthfulness of the true position. More and more, we will see our opponents arguing from the majority of other churches' practice, as if that in itself justifies the move to more contemporary and popular worship. Are we ready to be even more severely outnumbered than we are now? We must be ready to follow Christ in this matter, even if the world is against us (Athanasius contra mundi). It will no doubt require great personal sacrifice and cost to us. But if we believe these things, let us go forward. The Lord is God.
We ought not only continue to practice these things, but we ought to continue to labor to make the case that conservative, reverent worship is good, true, and right. Let us be winsome and convincing. Let us be happy warriors in this endeavor. We must be ready to make the positive case for conservative worship to our peers, our forebears, and (especially) our children. We should lead with these distinctives we hold, not hide them away like a crazy uncle we're embarrassed about. As more and more churches embrace the so-called "new hymnody" and popular music, it is incumbent upon us to continue to make the case that, though we recognize the brothers who disagree with us to be orthodox Christians, that the manner in which we communicate our praise to and love for God is an extremely significant concern for true Christian worship, as important to us as it was to the Old and New Testament authors.
In the end, we must ready to take up our cross and follow Christ, confident in what the Scriptures reveal. In times of success and failure, whether our numbers are many or few, our bedrock will always be that the Lord is still God.
A good word, Ryan. Thanks.
I appreciate your concern for defending views about music that honors God that are increasingly becoming unpopular, Ryan. Thanks.
Well said Ryan- wisdom is justified by her offspring and not by her contemporaries.
The ones pushing worldly worship have no idea of the ultimate carnage they are wreaking on the church.
Thank you for this reminder. I have been reminding myself more and more lately that historic Christianity has never been popular or trendy. I believe there are more "conservative Christians" than we may think, but American Christianity is being more and more tainted by celebrity status, materialism, pragmatism, and the desire to be loved. May God help us to remain faithful to the end.
Do you think that the Northland you (and I!) attended was musically conservative? If so, what was it conserving that was worth passing down?
No, Brad, obviously not. I allude to that in the fourth paragraph.
Absolutely, Taigen. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, Rajesh.
O.K. I assume you are referencing the "as if they ever had it to begin with" parenthesis.
I guess I wonder, then, why you are making this "departure" out to be something worth mourning over. This doesn't seem to help "make the positive case for conservative worship" in the most effective way. Isn't it something of a light healing?
I realize it might come off as sour grapes, but might it not be better to talk about what was wrong even when it was "right"? But I imagine you would come back with, "That is one of the purposes of this very site." Fair enough.
I know your post never even references Northland; and it applies with or without whatever happened or is happening or will happen at at Northland; but I think the reference is pretty easily picked up on. It just seems a little late to be concerned about our dear mother now.
I do appreciate the encouragement of this post. And I know I am doing some reading between the lines. While I do not appreciate the changes at Northland I am not surprised nor do I think there is much point in feigning dismay or heartbreak about something one never really cared for in the first place.
Brad, even though I thinly referenced NIU at one point, I really was thinking more generally.
Really, I want us to remember the sovereignty of God going forward. I don't want us to embrace the "Elijah complex" in the midst of our labors. I tend to think that things could get even worse. Even so, no matter what, we must remain principled and determined to continue on for the glory of God.
Let me also use this opportunity to say publicly that I was not the one who wrote the anonymous post about NIU that has been so decried and since removed. There appear to be rumors to that effect, and they are not true.
In part, the point of my post is that we should moderate our grief (keeping things in the big overall perspective) and keep moving forward serving Christ.
Thanks, Brad. I appreciate the interaction.
Musical styles affect the size of a church?
Not a problem. Praying you all will have wisdom and grace in dealing with the latest vitriol from B.Bixby.
Fundamentalism used to be a place where conservatives could at least go to church without having to endure rock or adult contemporary forms decorated with pop theology. Fundamentalism also used to be a place where, if not often judiciously or beautifully, the antithesis between the world and Christ was still present, sort of.
Bob was kinder than I would have been, but it sure is good to see a respected and influential pastor that is willing to speak up against the pharisaism that this website teaches.
Um, respected? Influential? Are you talking about Bob Bixby??
Actually, I think Bob does deserve respect for his years of service to Christ here and abroad, his love for people, and his willingness to take unpopular stands. Recent willful pokes in the eye notwithstanding.
We would do better to deal with whatever substance Bob presents than take potshots.
Willingness to take unpopular stands? On the contrary, he almost always defends what is popular! And love for people? More like love for himself. You clearly don't know how he trashed lives and split churches to build his own.
True, I know nothing about any of that. But making this about Bob's alleged failures misses the point and ends any fruitful discussions.
To say that we are anti-intellectual (#Bob Bixby) simply b/c he disagrees with our presuppositions is quite anti-intellectual (i.e. like saying "if it doesn't fit in my worldview framework of progressiveism then those thinking in a different framework of presuppositions must be legalists" = either/or fallacy).
I agree with David on this. I'm not going to respond to Bob's article, but it doesn't serves us at all to insult him. We have to move past character attacks and gossip. I, for one, am thankful for the preaching of the gospel that is coming out Morning Star Church, even if we disagree.
The ideas are what we want to discuss. In the future, I'd like to see interaction on that level.
I know this post is old, but I serve as a part-time youth and children's minister and I do find it depressing, when my kids seem to respond more to messages that don't speak of sin and the Gospel of Christ being His shed blood for us. I always tell myself there is no other way under the heavens for man to be saved! But seeing their success can sometimes make us doubt ourselves. This article comforted me, so does the knowledge that my Lord possessing more Holiness than I made less converts than many of His disciples, success is not how the world measures with censuses and the gloating of treasures, but in soulful humility. Thank you for bringing these thoughts to my mind, the LORD Christ bless you.
Continue preaching the good news of Jesus Christ, my friend. Thank you for your encouragement.

During the 1860s, the house was owned by Jonathan Richardson MP, who had Alfred Waterhouse rebuilt the earlier house to the style of the time. During the Second World War the main house became Headquarters of 8th United States Air Force Composite Command from November 1942 incorporating the 496th Fighter Training Group. It is believed that both Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower stayed at the house when visiting personnel in Northern Ireland. After the war the site was cleared except for some farmyard buildings. A gatelodge still remains.

'See you at the movies:' Marvel Studios previews upcoming films in new video
ByBrock Koller
Marvel Studios previews its upcoming films as it reflects on the cinematic universe it already created.
PHILADELPHIA -- Marvel Studios is celebrating the movies that make up its cinematic universe - those from the past and those yet to be released - as fans make their way back to theaters.
In a three-minute video released Monday that surely set off the spider-senses of superhero supporters from Asgard to Wakanda, Marvel reflected on the films of the past as it set the stage for its next phase.
The "Marvel Celebrates the Movies" video begins with a narration from the late Stan Lee as scenes from past MCU films are shown.
"I love being with people. It's the most incredible thing in the world. That world may change and evolve, but the one thing that will never change, we're all part of one big family. That man next to you, he's your brother. That woman over there, she's your sister. We're all part of one universe that moves ever upward and onward to greater glory."
The video then takes us to April 26, 2019 - opening night of "Avengers: Endgame" where the audience reacts together in a theater, something many have not been able to do for over a year.
The Marvel Studios opening sequence then breaks in to take us to the future.
Scenes from the following films are shown along with their release date:
Then Marvel unleashes an explosion of titles for future releases:
Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania
And a final teaser - a logo that Marvel fans would say is, well, "fantastic!"
The video ends with Marvel telling its fans - "See you at the movies."
Disney is the parent company of Marvel and this ABC station.

Trauma, "a body injury produced by sudden force ,"1 is something that man has had to confront from the beginning of time. Skull and facial trauma has long been a part of war and warring. Early biblical references, such as to David and Goliath,2 and accounts of early man illustrate the severe effects caused by a substantial blow to the head. While interpersonal violence still accounts for a significant portion of head trauma, the invention, development, and use of motor vehicles provides a medium through which a majority of skull and facial trauma occur.3 The leading causes of facial fracture trauma are illustrated in Fig. 11.1.

A Bosozoku-inspired mini bike from Malaysia
When the Malaysian outfit FNG Works landed an entry in a local custom bike build-off, lead builder Irwann Cheng had a decision to make. Would he play it safe, or would he throw common sense to the wind, and go all-out? Looking at this bizarre little machine, it's clear which way he went.
The competition was the 'Superb Mod Challenge,' organized by Modenas and MotoNation. Never heard of Modenas? It's a Malaysian bike brand, and they supplied their V15 model as a donor.
The V15 is essentially a re-badged Bajaj V15—a 149 cc single-cylinder commuter bike imbued with (a tiny bit of) classic style.
Only three workshops were selected to compete. FNG Works made the cut after being interviewed by Modenas, but Irwann didn't think they'd even get that far. So when Modenas asked what style of bike he'd build, he simply answered "café racer."
"It was a hard question," Irwann tells us, "because I hadn't seen what was behind the plastics, or the frame itself. And because I just submitted my application for luck, and never thought I would qualify, I was not ready for that question!"
FNG Works got the nod—but the comp wasn't without pressure. Contestants weren't allowed to cut the bike's frame, and the finished product had to be street legal.
Each team was given RM10,000 ($2,450) to work with. Irwann had just 26 days to deliver, and if he missed the deadline, he'd have to refund the money.
With the bike in the FNG workshop, stripped down to the frame, Irwann's brain started ticking over. Then he found out that his opponents were doing a café racer and a scrambler—and notions of playing it safe went out the window.
"I have this image of a bike that I've always wanted to build, but never did," says Irwann, "because no clients have given me the freedom to do 100 percent what I want.
"And if it's my own bike, I usually don't have the money to build it. As a small time builder, building bikes for clients earns me money to eat, but building my own bikes costs me money."
"I had it in my mind that I was never going to win, because my competitors are great builders. So this was my only chance of building what I've always wanted to build."
Irwann describes his Modenas as a mix of a Honda Dax, BMX and chopper bicycle, with a bit of 'urban lifestyle' and Japanese bōsōzoku style chucked in.
With some digital sketching—in basic MS Paint, not Photoshop or CAD—Irwann tweaked his vision to match the frame of the V15. He knew he couldn't cut the frame, but no-one said he couldn't weld on it.
So he added some rods across the back—creating a luggage rack and visually shortening the bike.
The rear end's finished off with a taillight that doubles up as a stopper for the luggage rack. And since the rules included concessions for cleaning up the frame, Irwann lopped off a few unsightly brackets too.
For the bodywork, Irwann wanted to build a new monocoque structure from scratch, even though he'd never built a fuel tank of this size. The learning curve was steep—and there was a real fear that the project would run over deadline—but he pulled it off.
The design combines a small fuel tank with a seat pan and side covers, and uses the stock fuel cap and petcock.
The seat's a clear hat tip to the fascinating bōsōzoku scene, and to vintage chopper bicycles. But our favorite feature's hiding behind the sissy bar: a neat mounting rack for a Penny board.
Irwann repainted the stock 18F/16R wheels to match the bike's fresh new color scheme, and fitted chunkier rubber.
Moving to the front, Irwann built a headlight mount in the style of the front pannier racks you find on touring bicycles. The handlebars are Peregrine BMX numbers, fitted with Biltwell Inc. grips and bar-end mirrors, and a small fairing up top holds the speedo.
"As for the engine and exhaust, it remained stock, because engine and exhaust modifications are actually illegal in Malaysia," explains Irwann. "You could even get fined for changing your carburetor. I couldn't afford to take the risk of being disqualified."
He did repaint the motor black, and switch the bolts out for chromed stainless steel items. The exhaust was painted black too, and the heat shield white.
As for that striking red paint—and the FNG Works logo—Irwann's open about their origins. "For the color scheme, I was inspired by the Supreme brand," he confesses.
"All along this build, from the start to finish, I was daydreaming that if I was the designer at Modenas, it would be targeted at hip, young urban people."
We're not entirely sure we're in the target market, but we love it. It's cheeky, fresh and looks like buckets of fun.
The 'Superb Mod Challenge' head judge was Neil Blaber of AMD World Championship fame, and clearly agreed. FNG Works not only made the deadline, but walked away with top honors, too.

Custom Bikes Of The Week: 13 January, 2019
Sleeper: A subtle Triumph Bonneville from 2LOUD


Start with the obvious one, let's talk beer. Our bikes are equipped with massive beer kegs, and according to the tour's preferences, we serve chilling draft beer with a maximum limit of 30 liters. That's right, up to 60 pints my friends - enough rocket juice to fuel a group of wild beer bikers for hours! Fancy a challenge? No group has ever drunk a whole keg during a tour. Just sayin'... No pressure.
Not all our groups like to drink alcohol and we are completely fine by that. While we do have a big mouth when it comes to drinking beer, we love all groups equal and as such, we are more than happy to give beer bike rides - without beer! Isn't that the whole point, you say? Yes, and well, no. Indeed, pedaling can be a lot easier with the aforementioned rocket juice, but the essence of a beerbike Budapest ride is not in fluids, it is teamwork. People on our bikes are happy not because they are drinking, but because they get to hang out with friends and awesome beer bike captains, while exploring the beauties of Budapest!

Emotional Care and Crayons: Haitian Children's Art at the Smithsonian Speaks to an RMF Approach
Photo from RMF USA: Hurricane Relief: Memphis
By Allison Glennon
There was an article published today by the Associated Press about childrens artwork from Haiti, paintings and drawings made children after the earthquake that are now on exhibit by the Smithsonian Institution. It reminded me of a story that our Founder, Dr. Martina Fuchs once told me about emotional care and one box of donated crayons.
The enormity of something as devastating as an earthquake like Haiti has a tendency to shut children off and they can become dangerously emotive, they bottle up. Sometimes art is the only way a child can express what they have seen.
Dr. Martina met a a four year old boy like this in her first month of tsunami relief in Sri Lanka, 2004. His mother had brought him in worried, not knowing what was wrong with her son. It had been three weeks since the tsunami and he had not made a sound, he had not smiled.
When the tsunami hit she was out in the open walking with her son and his 2yr old sister. With nowhere nowhere to go she raced for a palm tree and started to climb, hoisting her son above her. They climbed as fast as they could but when the water hit she was hit and the force shook her little girl out of her arms. Now, weeks later, she was loosing her son.
Dr. Fuchs was not sure what to do, so after an hour examining the boy, finding nothing physically wrong, she did the only thing she could do and sent him home with a peice of paper and a small box of donated crayons.
The very next day he was back, this time with a picture and as Dr. Fuchs looked it over and pinned it on the wall he smiled. Then, he started talking about the picture. He talked about the water and how there were people in it, and then he mentioned his sister and stopped. When he started again, he said was scared that he caused his sisters death because he did not climb fast enough. He was afriad that his mother hated him because it was all his fault. Finally, it was out and suddenly his mother knew what to do, she knew what to do to make him feel better, she knew what to say, she had her son back and they could mourn the loss of his sister together.
From this lesson in Sri Lanka, Real Medicine has made emotional care a component of what we believe to be medicine because we understand the powerful damage emotional distress can do and how sometimes, just a simple box of crayons and a comfortable space can save a life.
More emotional care:
RMF Madhaya Pradesh, India
RMF Los Angeles: Art Outreach at Florence and Western
RMF Hurricane Katrina: Hurricane Relief
RMF Sri Lanka
Help us to continue providing life saving care. When Dr. Martina Fuchs was providing relief in Sri Lanka, everything hinged on a network of friends who were able to help and who came through. Today our work is still dependent on the help of generous friends, giving what they can, together.
