He applies pressure. Begs. Cajoles. Makes promises. Gets in her face. Sends flowers. Arranges for dates. Talks to her family and friends. Calls her on the phone. Asks questions… daily, sometimes hourly. He is on her like a fly on doo-doo.
At a deeper level this is confusing enough for the cheating husband or cheating wife. Any additional input will be overwhelming and she is liable to close the door on the marriage even further. Plus, she is really looking for some stability, some solid centered core that will hold her firm when the wind of drama entices her and blows around her.
At this point with those I coach, I teach them a skill called "charging neutral" to help "back off." Use that skill.This will take some effort. It might take some coaching or therapy. It most likely will demand that you get to know yourself better, that you gain more confidence in you – apart from what she does with him – that you build a strong foundation under yourself that can weather any storm.
Backing off does not mean that you don't have anything to do with her. Quite the contrary. You want to maintain your contact with her, but it will be QUALITY contact. It will be contact that does honor to you, confronts her with the reality of her decisions and works toward resolution for the marriage.
Summary: Less often means more when facing emotional infidelity. Learning a specific skill such as "backing off" enhances one's chance to save the marriage.


How different would your life be if you only spoke from a posture of faith?
In the last two posts, I've written about borderless faith, probably because God is trying to teach me something very essential. I want to remain in the same vein of thinking with this blog. The Bible says, "But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, 'I believed, therefore I spoke,' we also believe, therefore we also speak" (2 Cor. 4:13). Paul indicated that we're to speak from a posture of faith; we believe, therefore we speak. Statements that we make should be declarations of what we believe, not laments of what has failed to happen. Our language should reflect our faith. Too often we become overwhelmed by surrounding circumstances: the economy, sickness, crime, failures, sin, or disease, and if we're not careful, these issues begin to become the center of our conversations. In other words, the nature of our language starts to reflect the content of this world; it revolves around earthly issues. This shift gives way to grumbling and complaining, something that we're commanded not to do (see Phil. 2:14), not to mention that it increases false beliefs. While I'm not suggesting that we ignore people or avoid conversations, I am suggesting that we heed the exhortation that says, "Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear" (Eph. 4:29).
An impartation of grace usually doesn't occur when we ruminate on the brokenness of our world; we impart grace when we see our world—our city—through the lens of faith. What would our cities look like if a sweeping revival ignited them? What would it look like if a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit fell on our communities? To merely define the sin of your city is to fall short of becoming an ambassador for Christ (see 2 Cor. 5:20). Looking at your city from the perspective of faith will lead you to pray for it with passion and fervor and additionally it will place you in a position to minister to those you are praying for. My wife and I have been praying for our neighbors, and we've been following the Holy Spirit in ways to minister to them. However, they are far from God and their lifestyles reflect that fact. Cindy and I look beyond what we see to what they can be through the redemptive grace of Jesus Christ. Our conversations are not laments of their condition; rather, we are speaking about them from the perspective of faith. We believe, therefore we speak; we have faith that they'll be redeemed, set free, and leaders in our church, so our language about them reflects the focus of our hearts.
The infamous "faith chapter" in the Bible begins with this: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). Assurance can be defined as a foundation or something that has substance. Faith has substance to it; we actually "stand on" what we hope for because it's that real to us. In this same chapter, we read about Moses who, by faith, "left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen" (Heb. 11:27). How was Moses able to endure? He saw something that very few others around him saw. His faith gave him a foundation to stand upon and he wasn't going to be moved by anything. Faith is not merely the assurance of what's hoped for, but it is the conviction or proof of what's not seen. The BBE translation reads: "The sign that the things not seen are true." Faith proves itself. When you read chapter eleven of Hebrews in its entirety, you discover many men and woman who proved the reality of their faith; every person stood on what they hoped for.
If we live by faith we will see things long before they are a reality. We will see families reunited, marriages restored, prodigals saved, believers sanctified, bodies healed, churches revived, and cities transformed. What we see will determine what we speak. Jesus, from the perspective of the kingdom of God, decreed over a sinful city: "Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest" (John 4:35). He looked at a mountain in Caesarea Philippi, the very place where pagan worship occurred hundreds of years before that moment, and He said, "Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it" (Matt. 16:18). Jesus saw with a kingdom viewpoint, therefore He spoke. What do you see? How do you view your neighborhood, church, or city? Maybe the question should be: What kinds of things come out of your mouth? What you say might be an indicator of what you see.
Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ (see Rom. 10:17). So let's remain close to Him. Let's stay at Jesus' feet like Mary and listen to His Word (see Luke 10:39). No matter what we might walk through, my prayer is that when we come to the end of our earthly journey we will say, as Paul did, "We have kept our faith" (see 2 Tim. 4:7). But until then, let's learn to see with eyes of faith and speak with mouths filled with kingdom declarations.
God, I repent for gripes, complaints, and negativity. Increase my faith, and help me to see my world from the perspective of faith. Let my mouth become an instrument of praise and a voice of hope. Let my words impart grace to all I speak to, in Jesus' name, amen.

Women Uplift the World
When they have dominion over their fertility
The FDA is studying a new morning-after pill, commonly known as Ella, for approval in the United States. Ella is short for EllaOne, the brand name of the pill in Europe. It is effective for preventing pregnancy up to 120 hours following unprotected sex and was approved for use in 44 countries in early 2009. Though it is still a new drug and needs further study, I am hoping for rapid approval for prescription use. Why? Because the number one predictor of a woman's status worldwide is whether or not she has dominion over her fertility.
EllaOne is comprised of ulipristal acetate, an antiprogesterone drug that prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. Though ulipristal acetate has similarities in chemical action to mifepristone—aka RU 486—it is not intended for use as contraception or as a method of terminating an ongoing pregnancy. Clinical trials of both Plan B and Ella, published recently in the Lancet, Glasie1 showed that Ella prevented twice as many unwanted pregnancies as Plan B.
Despite advances in birth control since The Pill came on the scene in the 1960's, the fact is that 50 percent of pregnancies are still unplanned. And contraceptive failures happen even in ideal users. That means that there will always be a role for the morning-after pill. Ella does this job particularly well.
Politics, Religion, and Hypocrisy
Of course there will be the usual political jockeying before the FDA does the right thing (which is to approve this drug). Frankly, I wish the government, the church, and everyone else who would oppose the morning-after pill would simply back off and leave medical and pregnancy decisions to the only person who can really make the right decision: the woman herself, in partnership with her healthcare provider.
Let me give you an insider's view of all this. Back in the mid-1970's, when I was an OB/GYN resident in Boston, I worked at a Catholic hospital. We were not allowed to discuss contraception with our patients, nor do tubal ligations or anything of that nature. So we hid the diaphragms in the depths of our exam tables so the nuns wouldn't find them. And we routinely wrote stealth prescriptions for birth control pills to "regulate periods." Yeah, right. And every week I'd get phone calls from men who were bigwigs in the community, asking me if I could arrange an abortion for a daughter or other woman close to them. I remember one guy saying to me, "I don't believe in abortion myself, but this would ruin my daughter's life." I quickly caught on to the hypocrisy of those individuals who maintained a split between their public stance and their private behavior. Publicly they imposed the moral codes popular at the time as a way to limit the choices of others, but privately they used their power and influence to bend the rules when their own personal lives were impacted.
Believe me, a lot of personal lives are impacted by fertility decisions. In the new edition of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom (Bantam 2010), I wrote, "According to Trudy M. Johnson, a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience counseling women who are grieving what she called voluntary pregnancy (VPT) terminations, 43 percent of women under the age of 55 have had voluntary pregnancy terminations. Thirty eight percent of these are church members. That's 55,000,000 women. (To learn more about Johnson's work helping women grieve and process the emotional aspects of VPTs, go to www.missingpieces.org.)
"The bond between mother and child is the most intimate bond in human experience. In this most primary of human relationships, love, welcome, and receptivity should be present in abundance. Forcing a woman to bear and raise a child against her will is therefore an act of violence. It constricts and degrades the mother-child bond and sows the seeds of hatred rather than love. Can there be any worse entry into the universe than forcing a child to inhabit a body that is hostile to it? Life is too valuable to inhibit its full blossoming and potential by forcing a woman to bear it against her will. Since we know that the early lives of criminals and societal offenders are often filled with poverty and despair, it may even be dangerous to bring a being into the world who isn't wanted. (In their best-selling book Freakonomics [William Morrow, 2005], authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner hypothesize that the reduction in crime over the past few decades can be traced to the legalization of abortion!)." It's also true that human nature is resilient. And it's entirely possible for individuals to heal from this kind of beginning. But this should be an individual decision.
A Global Turning Point
When it comes to having babies, a woman's ability to say when and how many (children) is one of the most significant factors that explains the greatly expanded role of women in business, education, and self-development in the last 50 years. Goldin2 The best predictor of a nation's health and economic strength is the status of its women.
We have collectively reached a turning point in our understanding of the global impact of a woman's state of health. It is estimated that in the 1840s half of all pregnancies ended in abortion. Smith3 Currently, as women's power is rising, like it was in the 1840s, so is anti-choice rhetoric. Though no culture at any time in history has been a stranger to fertility control, the research of historian Carroll Smith-Rosenberg documents that reproductive freedom becomes a political issue only when there are "significant alterations in the balance of power between women and men, and of male heads of household over their traditional dependents."Smith3 At just such a time, these changes are reflected in laws concerning women's right to manage their own fertility.
Currently the status of women is the number one issue on the planet. And women are, in the words of Sonia Johnson, "rising like yeast all over the planet." It's time for all of us to assume dominion over our bodies, without fear of repercussions. As Pulitzer Prize winning journalists Nickolas Kristoff and Sheryl Wudunn have so beautifully documented in their book Half the Sky, the education and economic development of women is the key to ending global poverty and terrorism. And a woman's education level is directly linked to her ability to assume dominion over her fertility. The approval of Ella here in the United States is a step in the right direction for women everywhere.

I am a fan of yours, but I don't like the way you lumped a discussion of the morning after pill in with a discussion on abortion. They are two very different things…. especially abortion after 20 weeks when the fetus gets to feel the pain of its own death.

60 seconds with Gillian Parkhouse
Currently playing Goldilocks in this year's King's Panto Goldilocks and the Three Bears, we sat down for a quick interview with Gillian.
Is Goldilocks your panto dream role?
No, it was actually Cinderella; however, my favourite role to play was last year's Belle in Beauty and the Beast! She was quite feisty and I was lucky enough to get stuck into a few of the comedy scenes. I've never had so much fun on stage.
Who's funnier - Grant, Allan or Andy?
Andy, obvs 😛 Eeeeek! Just kidding (I'd like to keep my job this Christmas.) They are all hilarious but completely different… *cough* Andy!
What's the best thing about the panto season?
Seeing the children's faces all light up and especially the hugs I get from the little girls dressed up as princesses. Year made!
What's your advice to all the young actors out there who aspire to being in Scotland's biggest panto?
Go to drama college, work hard, be a team player and send Qdos Entertainment chocolates!
From your many career highlights, what's the show you are most proud of being part of and why?
Judy, a film about Judy Garland, played by Renée Zellweger. Working in a rehearsal room or on set with someone you've admired for years was hugely exciting. The reviews have been incredible and Renee's even tipped to be nominated for an Oscar. We had the nicest team (I got to work with a couple of my close friends), days full of fun, banter and I'm thoroughly proud to be part of it. She was always up for a laugh and looked after us making sure we got enough breaks and even sent her friend out to get our coffee orders if we had early starts. She had time for everyone and she worked exceptionally hard to portray the iconic Judy Garland - a very special job indeed.
How do you like your porridge?
Made for me! Warm, smooth and tonnes of golden syrup.

This fourteen-minute interview with Tracey Bregman is a lot of fun and especially if you're a fan of her work. She starts off talking about her 1982 film THE CONCRETE JUNGLE. She talks about how she got the part by having to replace the original actress and from here she goes into some very good stories about the production, her co-stars as well as her thoughts on the director. From here she jumps to HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME where she tells some very good stories about the production of that film, how she got a part and her mother didn't as well as how she ended up being the killer in the picture. Both films get a lot of very good stories so fans should really enjoy this.

Final Four Preview: Syracuse vs. North Carolina
Written By: NYSD Staff
Published: Apr 2, 2016
By Anthony Rushing – (Photo of Syracuse celebrating winning the regional last weekend – @Cuse_MBB)
Syracuse will look to continue their magical run through the NCAA tournament as they take on North Carolina in the late-night portion of the National Semifinals, Saturday in Houston. The winner moves on to the national title game Monday night.
In order to track the story of the tenth-seeded Orange, in this tournament, one would have to rewind to Selection Sunday. Syracuse, a team which started this season with head coach Jim Boeheim serving a nine-game suspension as a result of an NCAA investigation, struggled mightily down the stretch. The Orange were losers of five of their last six games, including their ACC Tournament opener. The selection committee, despite the contrasting arguments of many across the nation, still decided Syracuse showed enough to make the field of 68 teams. Three weeks later, they're in the Final Four.
The number one seed Tar Heels have hit their stride as the clear front-runners. North Carolina, along the way to Houston, dismantled FGCU, Providence, Indiana and Notre Dame. The Tar Heels offense has been clicking, they're averaging over 80 points per game. Yes, they gave up 85 points to Indiana, but they scored 101 points. 6'10" Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks, along with 6'8" Justin Jackson, are the best frontline in the nation. Johnson, an All-American, has fueled the Tar Heels attack and he's capable of lighting up the scoreboard. This team, was looked at as the best in the nation for much of the season, throughout this tournament they're playing like it.
Syracuse, like any low seed most likely would have to do in March, has overcome adversity along every stop on their road to the Final Four. The Orange knocked off higher seeded Dayton to ignite their run. They followed that up with a victory over Middle Tennessee, the team which put 90 points up against Michigan State, and held the Blue Raiders to just 50 points. Syracuse would then knock off Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, this led to their Elite Eight battle with number one seed Virginia. The Orange, sparked by freshman Malachi Richardson and freshman Tyler Lydon, went on a 25-4 run to overtake Virginia and advance to Houston.
North Carolina will want to get out and run or get the ball into the post and let their big men go to work on an undersized Syracuse team. What the Orange lack in size, they more than makeup for in hustle. Boeheim's zone defense has been their calling card on defense for many years, this tournament has been no different. In each of Syracuse's four tournament wins, they've taken away the primary weapon of their opponents with their zone defense in full swing.
These two ACC teams met twice this season, the Tar Heels came away winners in both matchups. North Carolina has seen Syracuse's zone defense and head coach Roy Williams has figured out ways to either get around it or go over it by utilizing his bigs.
The difference in this game could be how well Syracuse shoots the basketball in Houston. The Orange, much like Villanova and Oklahoma, love to shoot it from long distance. The dimensions of NRG Stadium, however, is not anywhere near a shooter's paradise. Meanwhile North Carolina doesn't look to the three-point shot as their first or second option on offense, but Marcus Paige has been shooting the ball well and with confidence throughout the tournament.
Syracuse has had a great run and, despite the two regular season losses to North Carolina, could find a way to keep this one close enough to make it anyone's game in the final minutes. Roy Williams won't let his players lose focus and there's too many weapons on this team to contain. If Paige finds the range this weekend, along with the continued dominance of the frontline, North Carolina will find themselves in the national title game.

Nearly 500 days have passed since hurricane Harvey hit - not just on the beaches in Galveston, but it made landfall on the shoreline of Lake Conroe as well. Real estate sales ceased for the week following the event as many banks and businesses remained closed. Allison and I had two waterfront closings scheduled for the following day. Neither happened as planned with one home closing 30 days later and the other taking nearly a year.
A lot of progress has been made. Many docks that were destroyed are rebuilt, and according to Les O'Brien - owner of Dockside Boat Lifts – approximately 75% of the docks damaged and destroyed after the storm have been repaired or replaced. Miles of bulkhead have been repaired and replaced as well. Within days after opening the floodgates the lake was back to normal, but how about the home sales and values? Here is how the 150 days after Harvey in 2017 compare against the same 150 days today in 2018. Included in the graph are sales during the same time frame in 2015 and 2016 for comparisons.
The data shows two distinct trends.
1) The cost of a home after Harvey increased and the cost of a waterfront home increased significantly. The price per sq/ft also saw the largest increase as materials and labor cost after the hurricane both increased significantly.
2) The total number of homes for sale both on and off the water decreased.
A look into the future shows home prices for waterfront homes will remain strong. Many of these homes received improvements from both the owners and insurance companies. Improvements such as a new roof, new boat dock, boat lifts, boat covers, bulkhead, lighting, landscaping and drainage, even new air conditioning and heating have all added to the values of the homes. Several homes that were built in the 70's, 80's and 90's that received even a minimal amount of water received a major remodeling with new floors, paint, and fixtures. Many owners took the opportunity to make significant upgrades and do extensive remodeling to their homes.
As costs for new construction continue to rise, the values of homes in our area should remain strong, and at the very least, stable in 2019. Hopefully our area will not have to deal with another storm like Harvey anytime soon, but I will personally say it was comforting to see neighbors helping neighbors during a time of need. The people in our area are some of the very best around and how quickly things were back to normal and now even better than before is a testament to the residents and workers in Montgomery County.
Looking ahead the next storm could be more financial and political. The possible increase in interest rates in 2019 may play the largest factor in home values. And of course, in 2020 we will be dealing with an upcoming Presidential election. If you are looking at selling real estate we would love to help, and can assist with recommendations to improve the marketability and value of your home to maximize profits. We can also give you an estimated value of your homes worth and you can rely on having the #1 and #2 agents in total production for over 15 years on your side!
Big Industry Still Entering Montgomery Co.

The Director General, National Agency for the Control of AIDS, Dr Sani Aliyu, on Saturday called on Nigerians to get tested to enable them to know their HIV status.
Aliyu made the call in Abuja during a Road Walk organised by AIDS Health Care Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation, to commemorate 2018 World AIDS Day.
He said that the Day, which was commemorated annually on Dec. 1, gave opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and to show support for people living with the virus.
He added that the day was also set aside to enable everyone to know their status and to fight against stigmatisation and discrimination.
"World AIDS Day is observed on Dec.1 globally. I had my test a few days ago and I encourage everyone to get tested to know their status.
"You are our constituency, you are our people and we are here to support you," he said.
Dr Uche Okoro, Project Manager, Agency for the Control of AIDS in the Federal Capital Territory, said that the Day was set aside to create awareness on HIV and AIDS.
He said that the Day offered an opportunity to highlight the success of worldwide efforts to combat HIV and AIDS as well as the importance of continued support to end the scourge in 2030.
"Nigeria is a global signatory to end AIDS in 2030, which means that every Nigerian that is positive must be placed on treatment and that is why this year, the theme is `know your status'.
"Knowing your status is the entry point of accessing HIV services and those who turn positive are given anti-retroviral drugs free of charge.
"Nigeria can contribute to the aspiration of ending AIDS in 2030 as we encourage everyone to know their status and we are determined not to leave anyone behind.
"In FCT, we have over 360 sites where residents can get tested across the area councils, 160 sites providing drugs and 350 sites for pregnant women for prevention of mother to child transmission all free of charge,'' he said.


Nokia Lumia 800c Black GSM / CDMA Unlocked Quadband Cell Phone Buy: Price, Reviews.
The Nokia Lumia 800c was released in 2012 in the month of September. The phone supports a decent design and boasts of mediocre specifications. The price of the device is also made to be affordable.
The device was released with Windows 7.5 Mango OS. The Nokia Lumia 800c is powered by a 1.4 GHz Scorpion processor, while the graphical processing unit of the device is powered by Adreno 205. The device has an internal storage of 16 GB for installing applications and 512 MB of RAM for running applications and multi-task between them. There is no MicroSD slot available for expanding the storage for installing additional media, such as video or audio. The phone is packed with a Li-ion 1450 mAh capacity battery for a prolonged battery life.
The screen size of the unlocked cellphone is 3.7 Inches, and it is a AMOLED display panel with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, with a pixel per inch density of 252. The dimensions of the unlocked cellphone are 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm, and its weight is around 142 grams.
The Nokia Lumia 800c features a 8 MP rear camera, capable of clicking photographs of resolution 3264 x 2448 pixels. The camera of the device is great, and it captures fine amount of details. It can also record videos of 720p (HD) at 30 fps. There is no secondary front-facing camera available in the device for clicking selfies and recording videos.


Maker Faire is what a giant futuristic carboot sale at Burning Man might look like, with a bit of TED thrown into the mix. It's a global showcase for the craft, projects and prototypes of the new 'maker movement' – crazily creative kitchen-table DIY geeks, Heath Robinson-esque engineers, artists and technologists.
From very humble origins, of only 200 exhibitors, it's grown to be a fully-fledged global phenomenon, fueled by advances such as Arduino and 3D printers. Close to 200,000 people attended its New York and Bay Area events in 2013, and 98 mini fairs occurred everywhere from Oslo and Rome to Shenzhen and Tokyo.
It's the place to be to see everything that's weird and wonderful in new tech: amazing electronics, a giant metal octopus that goes to Burning Man annually, a bicycle-powered stage, a solar-powered chariot pulled by a robot Arnold Schwarzenegger, or a nonprofit that rescues 70 tons a year of fabric scraps from landfill, to give them to educators and artists. It's a bit like the 1990s Innovations mail order catalogue, brought to life, on steroids.
2015 will be its tenth year, and will see Maker Faire move to the Olympic Park, capitalising on home-grown talent such as Sugru and Technology Will Save Us.


"Micheal at the accessories department was very helpful when I inquired about rims and tires for my truck. Gave me the right info to help with my decision. Ryan at the parts counter is great to deal with. Both have the personable repport that I enjoy when dealing with Vickars. Keep up the good work."
"I purchased one of his cars at auction. He misrepresented the car in print, promised to reimburse me for some repairs I made, then renigged on his promise. Not trustworthy in my opinion."

Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?
Fortnite was in legal troubles and now is fined millions of dollars.
by Önder Erdine
in Games, news
Epic Games will pay a huge $520 million combined settlement, and everyone is asking, "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?" This comes after a Federal Trade Commission investigation revealed that it violated children's privacy and misled some Fortnite players into purchasing products they didn't want, therefore Fortnite was punished in Australia rather than banned. According to the FTC, this is the heaviest penalty ever assessed by the regulatory organization. "No developer creates a game with the intention of ending up here," Epic Games explained.
So, what went wrong with Epic Games? Why is Fortnite getting banned in Australia? The FTC accuses the multibillion-dollar gaming firm of making a fortune off of youngsters while failing to comply with internet safety regulations. The first of two settlements announced on Monday deals with the acquisition of personal information from Fortnite players under the age of 13, as well as in-game settings that permit voice and text communication by default. Fans wondered if this would prompt a more strict ruling and wondered "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?" Epic was fined $275 million for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule and pledged to change Fortnite's default settings.
If you are wondering "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?", this is the article for you
Fortnite Fined in Australia
The second Fortnite settlement in Australia includes the use of "Epic used dark patterns to trick players into making unwanted purchases and let children rack up unauthorized charges without any parental involvement." Epic is especially accused of making it easy to purchase skins accidentally when previewing them and making it tough to find the refund option when players want to reverse the transaction. According to the FTC, when money was reimbursed, Epic would occasionally restrict those individuals, preventing them from accessing previously paid-for content. As a result, Epic will provide $245 million to a fund that will reimburse consumers who made unintentional purchases.
This appears to be a thing that all online games do lately, not just Fortnite. In a blog post, Epic Games claimed that it believes this is a landmark moment in the establishment of regulatory conventions governing online gaming. "The old status quo for in-game commerce and privacy has changed, and many developer practices should be reconsidered," the company says. "We share the underlying principles of fairness, transparency, and privacy that the FTC enforces, and the practices referenced in the FTC's complaints are not how Fortnite operates."
So, for those wondering "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?", the ruling didn't include such a measure
Fortnite Kid's Privacy Policy
Here's a quick breakdown of some of the Epic says were not intentionally exploitative but will now be changed:
Automatically saving payment details.
Single-button press purchases.
Accounts requesting reimbursements for fraudulent transactions have been deactivated.
Self-service refunds are not available.
For gamers under the age of 13, there are no spending limits.
These historic settlements demonstrate that the FTC is not afraid to initiate disputes with large corporations, particularly those in the gambling sector. The commission is currently attempting to prohibit Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard for $69 billion, alleging that the Xbox maker's ability to create future system exclusives such as Call of Duty will harm competition. In response, Microsoft has promised to do whatever to placate the FTC, from putting Call of Duty on Game Pass's competitor program PS Plus to allowing its employees to unionize without fear of punishment.
Now you know the answer to "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?"
Epic Games cannot afford to make mistakes like these. Fortnite produced $US billion in sales in its first two years. It should, however, act as a wake-up call to other gaming companies to take these principles more seriously as well. For years, it's been a running joke that online gaming is filled with kids insulting each other in voice chat and parents who are pissed off about credit card bills for FIFA packs and Fortnite dances. This was both right and unlawful, according to the FTC. We'll see how much of a difference it makes when this agreement is reached.
Hopefully, you enjoyed this article on "Is Fortnite getting banned in Australia?" If you did, we suggest that you take a look at some of our other articles, such as where to find frogs: Fortnite wild life explained, or Fortnite travel distance using Kinetic Ore explained.

President Donald Trump has signed three new executive orders aimed at targeting drug cartels, creating a task force to reduce crime and stopping crimes against law enforcement officers. The move came after Jeff Sessions was sworn in as attorney general.
In his first act as head of the Department of Justice, Sessions presented the three executive orders to Trump.
During the swearing-in ceremony, Sessions said rising crime was a "dangerous, permanent trend" in the US and promised to "end this lawlessness" of illegal immigration.
The president signed the orders in the Oval Office, as Vice President Mike Pence, Sessions and the attorney general's wife looked on.

It can be tricky business finding the right gift for someone. After all, anyone can grab something off a store shelf and stick it in a gift bag, but picking out a present with care and thoughtfulness, that will be meaningful to the recipient, is a different story. The same is true when selecting a greeting card. Should it be funny or sincere? Should it have a slot for a gift card or should it play music when opened? To choose the right card and also gift, you need a lot of gifts to choose from, and nowhere can you find a wider and better selection of gifts, greeting cards, and more than when you shop local at Elam's Hallmark in Grossmont Center.
Elam's Hallmark may be East County's largest gift store, but it's also a supersized example of a successful and thriving family owned and operated business. Proprietor Guy Elam had a strong background in big retail from the earlier days of his career, working with companies such as Dayton Hudson Corp. (where he helped open some of the first Target stores) and FedMart (whose Founder, Sol Price, later created Price Club). After Guy and his wife, Mary, moved with their children, Scott and Christie, to San Diego in 1974, they later decided to start their own business. That decision proved to be a momentous one.
In the ensuing years, the Elam name has become a mainstay when it comes to buying local in San Diego, and the family has been a familiar presence at Grossmont Center. In 1983, the Elams opened a store at Grossmont Center called Animals Galore. After 20 years, that shop closed and was reopened as Home Décor and More. Also, in 1995 they opened Mary's Secret Garden, which became an East County destination for gifts and garden décor. The Elams spent 26 years total at Grossmont Center before closing their businesses. But that didn't mean they had left the San Diego business scene completely—the Elams had been building a local empire of 10 Gold Crown Hallmark stores, and they decided to focus their energies there.
But the Elams couldn't stay away from Grossmont Center. In January 2017, the Elams returned to the recently revamped center with Elam's Hallmark, which joined the roster of 50-plus mom-and-pop businesses at the Grossmont Center where people can shop local.
Those customers enjoy having all their gifting needs met under one roof. Elam's Hallmark carries greeting cards for every holiday and occasion. Of course, that includes traditional ones such as birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother's Day (the store's largest holiday for single cards), as well as a range of other occasions such as Chinese New Year, Administrative Professionals Day, Teachers Day, Nurses Day, and many more.
And aside from greeting cards, there's everything else that's needed to put together the perfect gift—wrapping essentials, gift bags, and even the gift itself. There are gifts of all kinds for all occasions. Photo frames, candles, books, candy, kitchen and home goods, plus a range of children's gifts such as toys and stuffed animals—it's all at Elam's Hallmark.
There is a department specially dedicated to weddings. The garden department carries gifts and accessories that include a selection of items from the Elams' former store Mary's Secret Garden, a welcome addition for longtime customers who fondly remember the older shop. Elam's Hallmark also sets itself apart with a fashion department, which offers handbags, jewelry, and accessories for women. While the store has a vast selection of gifting items, it's simple to choose the perfect present with the help of sales associates who are trained to help customers pick out just the right item for any occasion.
Plus, Elam's Hallmark makes shopping for gifts fun with special promotions and events held throughout the year. For instance, collectors of Hallmark's famous ornaments are going to want to attend two special events this summer—an ornament premiere in July, followed by an appearance and signing by a Hallmark ornament artist from the company's Kansas City headquarters in August.
One of the benefits, when people buy local, is that they are supporting businesspeople who are invested in making their community a better place, and that is definitely true with the Elams. For instance, the ornament premiere event in July has a charitable component, a toy drive for Rady's Children's Hospital. That focus on community and charity support is standard for all Elam's Hallmark stores. Every February, for example, all Elam's Hallmarks host a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis—and this year's event raised $15,600 in 25 days.
"We deeply care about our employees and our customers," Mary Elam says. "We strive to make a positive difference in their lives".
That care and concern for the community is one of the best things about family owned businesses, and a great reason to shop local. Elam's Hallmark offers a terrific option for customers who want to buy local in San Diego while at the same time having the ability to get everything they need with just one car trip to a single location. Guy and Mary Elam—and Scott and Christie, who have joined the family business—are devoted to offering customers a wonderful shopping experience. "We are very happy to be back at the Grossmont Center," Mary Elam says.

CIF Calls on all Members to Sign up to CIF Diversity Charter
The CIF, in association with the Irish Centre for Diversity, has launched the CIF Diversity charter, an initiative designed to support members in making their companies diverse and inclusive places for all people to work.
The CIF's #BuildingEquality campaign has created greater awareness about the necessity to make construction workplaces more diverse and inclusive.
However, the CIF recognises that diversity and inclusion are multifaceted issues that need to be tackled holistically to better engage and support all underrepresented groups within each business.
To address this, the CIF, in collaboration with The Irish Centre for Diversity, has launched the 'CIF Diversity charter'.
The charter is designed to facilitate construction companies in turning their commitment to diversity into positive, practical action, and is being spearheaded by CIF's President Pat Lucey.
It confirms the commitment an organisation has to build a diverse and inclusive culture and helps quantify the company's strategic objectives. The key benefits of this are clarity of mission and a clear statement of intent.
It will help inform organisational processes around diversity and inclusion in that it sets out what the organisation aims to achieve, with the opportunity to then describe how it will accomplish this within its procedures.
What is The CIF Diversity Charter?
The CIF is asking all member companies to sign up to the charter and pledge to take the necessary steps to make their workplaces more diverse and inclusive.

Tom Parlon, Director General, CIF, welcomes the initiative between the CIF and the Irish Centre for Diversity to develop the charter.
"The CIF Diversity charter will aid already conscious companies in diversifying their workforces to build a modern construction industry that is inclusive to all, regardless of gender, gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity or disability," Tom Parlon says.
"We look forward to working with members to realise that modern, diverse and inclusive industry,"

The CIF and the Irish Centre for Diversity will be on hand to provide the necessary training and support to introduce the change to member organisations.

CIF CONFERENCE 2019 TO SET OUT FUTURE VISION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY


Got some interesting stuff going on in the world of weather. In case you've been hiding in a cave the alst few days, it's very warm outside! I didn't even have to turn on the heat this morning! Crazy for February.
December averaged 3.5 degrees above average, January 12 above average, and so far, Feb (18-22) is 15 degrees above average. These time periods were all the warmest 10 days of the month. It's like a 4 week cycle: Starts mild, gets cold, turns warm, then the cycle starts all over. And heading into March, there are indications that the same pattern will hold. This means we should cool off starting next week, yet stay mild, then grow "cold" for 7-19 days and then get warm again. And probably stay warm through the rest of spring, as the season change adjusts the weather patterns.
This idea is not based on a model, set of ensembles, set of weekly outlooks or such. It based on simple observation as to what is going on. This pattern idea is the reason I was so skeptical of the locking in of cold for the month of February, and is the reason I am skeptical of a "winter's over" cry and the dawning of an extra early spring. There is one more period of "cold" weather that could deliver some winter weather. But I suppose those who said it was over in mid-Feb would call that "spring snow from a rogue storm"? Little sarcasm there. I believe, that once past the middle of March, it's over.
Getting back to this week; warm through late Saturday, then colder, a warm up for midweek, followed by much colder weather. One more period of potentially winter-like weather before winter is officially done (not that we had that much to speak of).
· Today: Sun and clouds as cool front never made it this far south. Very warm. Highs low 70s.
· Saturday: Rain arrives in afternoon. Warm. Chance for a thunderstorm as front passes.
· Sunday/Monday: Much colder. Chance of showers Monday.
· Monday Night/Tuesday/Wednesday: Chance showers. Turning milder.
· Thursday: Colder. Sun and clouds.
