Plumbing also entails operate that a lot of Diy lovers also you should not have a lot expertise in. Exactly where some will get pleasure from putting cabinets collectively, or painting and decorating, not many will experience delighted soldering pipes or messing all over with correcting sewage strains.
So how could you be sure that you are obtaining the correct plumber?
Usually the most effective route is often a personalized advice. This way you can not less than vet the plumber beforehand and get adequate details to produce an informed choice.
Naturally, in the event your pipes have sprung a leak, or your bathroom is spewing its contents up, you would possibly not have considerably the perfect time to question all over for suggestions.
What to accomplish within an Unexpected emergency?
In a plumbing crisis the 1st port of call will probably be the net or Phone book. During the Uk you can head over to the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering (IPHE). It is a charity whose objective is always to "improving the science, observe and engineering rules of plumbing". There you'll be able to lookup for registered plumbers in your postcode region. They are plumbers who definitely have been vetted and who meet up with selected standards. The following move will probably be to get started on producing some mobile phone calls.

Is the plumber a member of a experienced trade overall body? When you have enough time, then get hold of the trade physique in concern and to verify out that they are at this time registered.
Of study course, if it can be an crisis you then might not be capable of do most of the over. But it can be superior to question these queries in any case and you will get an idea of what kind of a plumber he is.

Between 1960 and 1965, the CIA made a staggering 638 attempts to assassinate the Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro. During this time, Castro was seen by his countryman as a hero but lauded by the US as a dictator who committed human-rights abuses and impoverished his country. The US had a mark over his head but Castro's dogged determination laughed in their face and won.
The CIA had a secret program running at the time dubbed 'Operation Mongoose' that was tasked with assassinating and disrupting the Cuban government. Some desperate and downright bizarre assassination attempts included poisoning Castro's cigars, planting an exploding cigar and even a ballpoint pen containing a hypodermic syringe loaded with a lethal concoction designed to explode upon use. All of these attempts failed miserably, embarrassingly even for the CIA but then again, they're not hard to embarrass.
The CIA even enlisted the Mafia in Cuba to do their dirty work offering USD $150,000 (A LOT OF MONEY in Cuba) for the "prompt removal of Castro". Yep, you guessed it, these Mafia attempts failed too. The years rolled on and more and more attempts failed and eventually Castro became the nationalist hero as today.
Castro once said "If surviving assassination attempts were an Olympic event, I would win the gold medal." Damn right he would. You gotta give it to him though, regardless of his suspected atrocities, surviving 638 attempts on one's life is a feat in itself.
In 1977, US President Gerard Ford signed Executive Order No. 11,905 stating that "No employee of the United States government shall engage in, or conspire in, political assassination." We call this a way the US government saying "we completely screwed this up and have our tails between our legs."
There's even a documentary on the amount of attempts on Castro's life titled 638 Ways to Kill Castro.
On November 25, 2016, Fidel Castro passed away at the age of 90. Below is his official signature that will no doubt be remembered as the man who defined the evolution of Cuban politics and lived to tell the story.

Multi-storey parking looked at for Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre
Posted: Jan. 9, 2020 11:23AM
Hambro Portable Parking Structure
An example of a two-storey modular parking structure
City of Victoria staff confirmed Thursday that they have studied the possibility of installing modular parking at the Save-On-Foods Memorial parking lot.
The concept would be a first in City of Victoria and would create a second level of parking at the surface lot located between Blanshard Street and Quadra Street, off Caledonia Avenue.
Described as a pre-fabricated steel-based structure, modular parking allows for the installation of multi-storey parking lots, similar to a parkade but with limited construction.
During a discussion on the future of the aging Crystal Pool, Councilor Jeremy Loveday asked staff it had looked into installing modular parking on the arena site.
Staff confirmed it had prepared a detailed transportation and parking implications study that did look into modular parking as an option. The study has not gone to council, but staff said it will be put forward soon.
Parking has been one of several issues raised during the more than three-year discussion surrounding replacing Crystal Pool.
One of the proposed sites that staff will examine further over the next month includes the city's surface parking lot at 940 Caledonia Avenue next to Royal Athletic Park. The parking lot has 220 stalls that are often occupied during the week. Currently, the city isn't taking names for the monthly parking wait list.

You need more than you think. Always buy more rat traps than you think you need, and make sure they are rat traps, not mouse traps. Even if you have only seen a couple of rats, that could be a sign of a bigger infestation. There could be a whole colony of rats hiding in your walls, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
Follow the rats. These rodents are most likely to nest in attics, basements, crawl spaces, and especially dark corners. It is important to place your traps where the rats will be most likely to nest, and to hide the traps well. Make sure your traps are spaced out well -15 to 20 feet apart- and place them along walls, as rats like to scurry along them.
Beware of Droppings. If you find urine or rat feces throughout your house, do not try to clean it up. It sounds backwards, but rats carry many diseases and spread them through their waste. The same goes for if you find a rat carcass. You should call Critter Control of Miami® immediately to quickly and safely remove the rats.
If you have a rat infestation, it can be dangerous for not only your home, but your loved ones too. As soon as you see signs of rats in your home, it is important that you seek help as soon as possible. At Critter Control of Miami®, our experts work hard to quickly and safely remove all the rats from your home, and we even offer free home consultations. If you have questions about rat removal, or different ways to trap rats, call us at 305-258-3587 today.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
Written By: Rachel Joyce
Read By: Jim Broadbent
9 Hours and 58 Minutes	Imprint: Random House Audio Genre: Fiction - Women Release Date: July 24, 2012
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST
Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.
Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then, as happens in the very best works of fiction, Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person. And thus begins the unlikely pilgrimage at the heart of Rachel Joyce's remarkable debut. Harold Fry is determined to walk six hundred miles from Kingsbridge to the hospice in Berwick-upon-Tweed because, he believes, as long as he walks, Queenie Hennessey will live.
Still in his yachting shoes and light coat, Harold embarks on his urgent quest across the countryside. Along the way he meets one fascinating character after another, each of whom unlocks his long-dormant spirit and sense of promise. Memories of his first dance with Maureen, his wedding day, his joy in fatherhood, come rushing back to him—allowing him to also reconcile the losses and the regrets. As for Maureen, she finds herself missing Harold for the first time in years.
And then there is the unfinished business with Queenie Hennessy.
A novel of unsentimental charm, humor, and profound insight into the thoughts and feelings we all bury deep within our hearts, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry introduces Rachel Joyce as a wise—and utterly irresistible—storyteller.
Advance praise for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
"When it seems almost too late, Harold Fry opens his battered heart and lets the world rush in. This funny, poignant story about an ordinary man on an extraordinary journey moved and inspired me."—Nancy Horan, author of Loving Frank
"There's tremendous heart in this debut novel by Rachel Joyce, as she probes questions that are as simple as they are profound: Can we begin to live again, and live truly, as ourselves, even in middle age, when all seems ruined? Can we believe in hope when hope seems to have abandoned us? I found myself laughing through tears, rooting for Harold at every step of his journey. I'm still rooting for him."—Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
"Marvelous! I held my breath at his every blister and cramp, and felt as if by turning the pages, I might help his impossible quest succeed."—Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
"Harold's journey is ordinary and extraordinary; it is a journey through the self, through modern society, through time and landscape. It is a funny book, a wise book, a charming book—but never cloying. It's a book with a savage twist—and yet never seems manipulative. Perhaps because Harold himself is just wonderful. . . . I'm telling you now: I love this book."—Erica Wagner, The Times (UK)
"The odyssey of a simple man . . . original, subtle and touching."—Claire Tomalin, author of Charles Dickens: A Life
"[A] gorgeously poignant novel of hope and transformation."—O: The Oprah Magazine
"A cause for celebration . . . [Joyce] has a lovely sense of the possibilities of redemption. In this bravely unpretentious and unsentimental take, she's cleared space where miracles are still possible."—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is not just a book about lost love. It is about all the wonderful everyday things Harold discovers through the mere process of putting one foot in front of the other."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"You have to love Harold Fry, a man who set out one morning to mail a letter and then just kept going. . . . Like Christian in John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, Harold becomes Everyman in the eyes of those who encounter him. . . . Harold's journey, which parallels Christian's nicely but not overly neatly, takes him to the edge of death and back again. It will stick with you, this story of faith, fidelity and redemption."—Minneapolis Star Tribune
"From its charming beginning to its startling and cathartic denouement, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a comic and tragic joy."—The Plain Dealer
"A gentle and genteel charmer, brimming with British quirkiness yet quietly haunting in its poignant and wise examination of love and devotion. Sure to become a book-club favorite."—Booklist

Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil is a great anti-aging moisturizer for the face, and it has many other benifits as well. It is the perfect go-to oil for reducing wrinkles, hydrating dry patches all over the body, soothing sun damage, eczema and wounds.
I use Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil right after I wash my face at night.I just use a couple of drops because a little goes a long way. I love how moisturized my face feels, and it is not at all greasy. It absorbs right into my skin, leaving it supple and hydrated. fine lines disappear. I also used it on my elbows last night before I went to bed and woke up amazed at how it took the roughness away!
Indie Lee Oil is also great in treating eczema. Interestingly enough, I mentioned this to my 19-year-old son, Jonathan about a week ago. He suffers from reoccuring eczema flare-ups and so I applied some of my Indie Lee Oil to Jonathan's inflamed skin. He felt immediate relief, and after a few days, his eczema patches were completely gone!
Made of 100% Squalane Oil (Olive derived) Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil is a naturally occurring oil that promotes elasticity in the skin. As we age, its production diminishes. This key component of our sebum helps boost cell regeneration and oxygenation, leaving your face looking healthy and radiant.
"On Earth Day 2009, I was given a new life — I awoke from brain surgery to discover that a potentially fatal tumor had been successfully removed. Having learned that environmental toxins may have been the culprit, I began devoting myself to making all natural beauty products from the finest ingredients across the globe. Remember, what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. We also need to nurture our soul to let our inner beauty shine through. Life should be lived to its fullest, one moment at a time."

Lauren Bacall Auction: Items From Manhattan Apartment Owned By Late Actress Fetch $3.6 Million
Peter Kramer / Getty Images
Lauren Bacall lived in one of the most iconic apartments in New York City, and this weekend, an auction of items the actress kept inside the Manhattan apartment raised $3.6 million.
The two-day auction sold a range of items from the film legend's apartment, including jewelry and artwork. The auction included items Lauren Bacall owned with her first husband, Humphrey Bogart, which all sold above their high estimates, the Associated Press reported. One steamer trunk owned by the couple went for $47,500, for example.
The report noted some other highlights of the Lauren Bacall auction.
"Other highlights included an 1836 hand-colored Audubon engraving titled 'American White Pelican' which sold for $173,000.
"Two paintings by Albert Edward York, 'Landscape with Trees' and 'A Country Fence,' sold for $161,000, setting an auction record for the American artist.
"Bonhams also sold two Henry Moore sculptures from her collection in November, bringing the final sale result to $5 million."
Bacall's apartment itself has already been on the market for a few months. Last November, her place in the famed Dakota building went up for sale for $26 million.
As the real estate blog the Real Deal noted, the property itself has gotten quite a bit of fame not only for its location near Central Park, but for its famous connection.
"The 93-unit landmark building, at 1 West 72nd Street, is one of the city's most elite properties. It's also among the stodgiest, having turned down the liked of Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas. In 2011, it was hit with a racial bias suit by hedge fund manager Alphonse 'Buddy' Fletcher."
Bacall paid $48,000 for the property when she bought it in 1961, but the Manhattan landmark was last valued at $9 million.
"Almost all of the important rooms face the park," said a source familiar with the property told the Real Deal.
The source added that the apartment has a total of seven fireplaces and "tons of original details."
The Lauren Bacall auction came just seven months after the actress died at the age of 89. The late actress made headlines at the time by leaving $10,000 in her will to ensure that her dog, Sophie, was well taken care of. The rest of the money was split among her three children but also set aside some money for longtime staffers, including $15,000 for her longtime maid and $10,000 for another staffer, Maria Santos.

The Lighthouse Café is a nightclub located at 30 Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach, California. It has been active as a jazz showcase since 1949 and, under the name "The Lighthouse", was one of the best known West Coast jazz clubs from the 1950s through the late 1970s. In addition to jazz, reggae to rock - among other genres of music - are now performed at the venue, including bookings of local artists such as Jett Prescott and George Stanford.

History
A restaurant called "Verpilate's" was built a short walk from the ocean at 30 Pier Avenue in 1934, and it was converted into "The Lighthouse", a bar, in 1940 ("Café" was added to the official name only when the business was sold in 1981). The club first began showcasing jazz music on May 29, 1949, when owner John Levine permitted bassist/band leader Howard Rumsey to start a recurring Sunday jam session on a trial basis. The experiment was a success. Rumsey became club manager soon after and put together a house band called the Lighthouse All-Stars.

While the club also hosted visiting groups, the Lighthouse All-Stars became an ensemble in its own right, which had among its guest musicians Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan and Miles Davis. The longest-running members of the Lighthouse All-Stars were Bob Cooper (tenor saxophone), Conte Candoli (trumpet), and Stan Levey (drums).

West Coast jazz stalwarts Shorty Rogers, Richie Kamuca, Bill Holman, Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, and Jimmy Giuffre were also regulars in the early days. Max Roach was the regular drummer for a while in 1953. The club also became an important venue for recordings; Art Pepper, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderley, Mose Allison, Ramsey Lewis, Art Blakey, Charles Earland, Grant Green, Elvin Jones, Cal Tjader, the Modern Jazz Quartet, The Three Sounds, the Jazz Crusaders, and Joe Henderson all made recordings there.

"The Lighthouse" sponsored an inter-collegiate jazz festival in the late-1950s, and the competition's winners included Mike Melvoin and Les McCann.

John Levine died in 1970, and his family sold the club to Rudy Onderwyzer, manager and part-owner of Shelly Manne's club, "Shelly's Manne-Hole". Rumsey left "The Lighthouse" in 1971 to open the "Concerts By The Sea" jazz club in nearby Redondo Beach, and Onderwyzer sold the club again in 1981. The new owners remodeled it and mostly discontinued the jazz-music policy. From the mid-1990s, jazz slowly began to come back to the club, first on Sunday afternoons, then on a two-days-a-week schedule, with local artists such as Ray Pizzi, Michele Faber, and Edmond Allmond.

Military Investigates Killing Rampage
Military Investigates Killing Rampage. June. 24, 2005 05:54. ditto@donga.com.
It was reconfirmed that Private First Class Kim Dong-min (22), who had hard feelings against his superiors, hurled a grenade into a barracks and shot colleagues with a rifle after premeditating the killing, said central army investigators investigating the killing rampage at the first front line guard post inside the Demilitarized Zone in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi province on Thursday.
The investigators added that a psychological test found that Kim had no mental disorder.
The chief investigator, Colonel Yoon Jong-sung, made public at the military hospital in Seongnam, Gyeonggi province the final result of the investigation based on an on-the-spot investigation and statements from soldiers and Kim.
According to investigators, Kim told his middle school alumnus, Private Cheon Won-beom, five times from May 11 that "I want to kill all the soldiers in the unit by throwing a grenade and firing a rifle." Kim repeated the same statement on the evening of June 17, two days prior to the incident.
Kim hurled a grenade and sprayed bullets with a K-1 rifle at beds of soldiers at around 2:30 a.m. on June 19.
The chief investigator said that "22 out of 25 soldiers stated the argument that Kim fired a rifle first and then threw a grenade is not true."
However, two army psychiatrists said that the investigators need to conduct additional interviews with Kim and conduct psychological assessments. Accordingly, investigators plan to have Kim take a psychiatric test according to legal procedures.
Han Hui-won, director of the Human Rights Violation Investigation Bureau of the National Human Rights Commission (chairman: Cho Yeong-hwang) said that "Kim was not included among eight soldiers who were being monitored for the likelihood to commit suicide. There is a loophole in the soldier management system in the unit."
The director also said that there were suspicions about sexual molestation, and it was confirmed that there was no direct sexual molestation according to answers from Kim, who was asked three times about that suspicion.

I'm not very excited about this movie since I'm not a fan of Shyamalan, and I'm not excited about 'Men In Black 3' either . I'm just glad Will is back to work after the looong time that it's been since 'Seven Pounds' came out. If I could choose Will's next movie I would have picked 'Django Unchained' like many other members. But oh well, it's his decision anyway. I'm just happy with the fact that he's making movies, that's all!

Looks like Jaden will play futuristic military cadet!
http://www.wmgk.com/shows/cyndy-drue/home.aspx
M Night Shyamalan, Philadelphia's resident film director will begin production on his next film in early 2012. The title is "After Earth" and will star Will Smith and his son Jaden. There have been reports that Shyamalan has been scouting locations in the area for filming.
50% of the filming will take place at the new Sun Center Studios in Delaware County (Chester Township). It will be the first major feature film to shoot there. Other locations will be in Costa Rica, Utah and Northern California.
Sony Pictures has announced that the movie will hit the big screens on June 7, 2013.
The story is about a young boy who navigates through an abandoned and sometimes scary Earth to save himself and his father. The script is written by Shyamalan and The Book Of Eli scribe Gary Whitta.
So 'After Earth' is the official title? That'd mean Jaden has already 4 movies and 2 of them contains the word "Earth"

When the filming stuff 'll start?? someone know it??
Mr K
Location:Gdynia, Poland
Military cadet of the future???? Jaden Smith (age 13) playing a military cadet??? Seriously??
Also, "The Book Of Eli" was one of the most boring movies I've ssen in a long time. Even Gary Oldman couldn't save it so the fact that they share a screenwriter makes it even worse.
Sorry, I am still deep down a fan of Will Smith but despite my best efforts I just can;t get excited about this one..:/
Not to mention that everytime I read anything about "Django Unchained" I get filled with anger:/
Most of us all feel that way, but I hope for the best. Hopefully, "After Earth" or whatever its called, will be something great (eventhough few of us think it will).

"Stephen Gaghan has completed a polish of Sony Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment's futuristic sci-fi pic "One Thousand A.E.," which will be directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
Shyamalan was credited as the sole writer on the first nine films he directed, but his latest, "A.E.," was scripted by Gary Whitta ("The Book of Eli"). Shyamalan rewrote the screenplay to fit his needs, but Gaghan was tasked with getting the script in shooting shape. He turned his revisions in to the studio nearly a month ago and may continue to work with Shyamalan to fine-tune the current draft as the pic's February start date draws near.
Will and Jaden Smith are set to star as a father and son who crash-land on Earth one thousand years after mankind has abandoned the planet. The crash leaves the elder Smith badly injured, and it's up to the boy to find help in what is now a strange and dangerous place."
The first piece of news I've heard about this project that got me semi-excited ;) Seriously though, maybe he'll help make the thing better. I guess after the inevitable disaster heading our way called "Men In Black 3", I'm definitely gonna be jonesing for anything with Will even remotely good :)
Interests:I'm a writer...so life!
the book of eli wasn;t that bad! I think gary whitta might have produced a good script
Alex Marques
Interests:Music, Engineering, Songwritting, Facebook :P
I Agree, Book Of Eli wasn't bad. I am personally excited for this picture. Will & Jaden? seems like a good combo
I wondering how big a part Will has in the movie. Cause the tagline says the father is injured while the son tries to find help. I hope it isn't something like Will sitting in a cave while Jaden looks for help. I'd hate if this movie was like half with Will and the other half just Jaden by himself, like his own person "I Am Legend". The kid doesn't have the acting chops to pull that off.

Lesson 3—Can Christians Believe in Evolution?
1. According to Genesis 1, how long did God take to create the world?
"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Genesis 1:31.
Answer: Six days. Many Christians believe in evolution, so that they reinterpret Genesis 1 as an allegory by declaring that each day was symbolic of a long period of time, perhaps millions of years. But could this be true? First, whenever the Biblical Hebrew word yom is modified by a number, it refers to literal, 24-hr. days, which is the case throughout Genesis 1. That means the burden of proof must be on those who view these days as long periods of time. However, notice that each day here is also referred to by an expression, "the evening and the morning were the first day" (verse 5), "the evening and the morning were the second day" (verse 8), and so on. This confirms that each day was a literal 24-hr. day, consisting of the night part of the day and the day part of the day. Finally, there is the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle between plants and animals/people. Plants give off oxygen for animals and people, who in turn give off carbon dioxide for the plants to use. Plants were created on the 3rd day of Creation week (verses 11-13). Birds weren't created until the 5th day (verses 20-23), and land animals and people weren't created until the 6th day (verses 24-31). Thus, all plants would have long ago died before any animals or people came along if each day stood for millions of years!
2. What does the Sabbath Commandment say about the "days" of Creation week?
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it." Exodus 20:8-11.
Answer: The Sabbath Commandment clearly refers back to the "days" of Creation week and commands God's people to keep each 7th day as a holy memorial of God's creative power at Creation week. Since His people were obviously to keep the 7th day as a 24-hr. day, then the other six days of Creation week must also have been six literal, 24-hr. days. Therefore, there simply is no justification for interpreting the "days" of creation as long periods of time in order to accommodate belief in evolution.
3. Even if Genesis 1 were interpreted as an allegory, what major principles would it teach?
"Let there be light; and there was light...Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters...and it was so...Let the waters...be gathered together in one place...and it was so...Let the earth bring forth grass...and it was so...Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens...and it was so...Let the waters abound with the abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth...So God created great sea creatures...and every winged bird...Let the earth bring forth the living creature...and it was so...Let Us make man in Our image...So God created man in His own image...." Genesis 1:3, 6-7, 9, 11, 14-15, 20-21, 24, 26-27.
By contrast, fundamental to all variations of evolutionary theory is the idea that everything evolved by randomness and chance.
"Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb...and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind...So God created great sea creatures...according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind...Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind...each according to its kind...." Genesis 1:11 (cf. v. 12), 21, 24 (cf. v. 25).
Answer #2: Please note that everything was created separate and distinct from other plants and animals so that each kind of plant and each kind of animal reproduces only the same kind of plant or animal. Of course, the Bible does not define precisely what the word kind means. Nevertheless, one cannot read Genesis 1 rationally without understanding that it most definitely marks a line of distinction between different broad kinds of plants and animals. By contrast, all variations of evolutionary theory teach that all life forms present today had a common ancestor.
It is quite obvious that even if Genesis 1 was supposed to be interpreted allegorically, it would represent at least two fundamental principles. First, that everything was planned and deliberately calculated. Second, that everything came into existence as separate and distinct from all other kinds. Thus, Genesis 1 totally contradicts all forms of evolutionary thought and is completely incompatible with it. Plainly, Genesis 1 cannot be reconciled with evolution!
4. What is the Big Bang Theory, and are there any texts in the Bible that are consistent with any scientific evidence used to support that theory?
"Who [the Lord] cover Yourself with light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain." Psalm 104:2. "Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens…" Zechariah 12:1.
Answer: The Big Bang Theory says that about 13.5 billion years ago, the building blocks of matter gravitated toward each other, compressed together until they exploded, and as the materials cooled, various stars, planets, moons, galaxies, and so on evolved into the universe. The most popular evidence for this theory is the so-called Red Shift, which states that when distant objects are moving away from each other, their light moves into the red part of the light spectrum. Since this is what astronomers observe, they suggest that if we could move backwards in time, we would eventually see the Big Bang start the evolution of the universe. The texts cited above, if taken literally, would be consistent with what astronomers observe. However, they do not prove the Big Bang Theory, as we shall soon see.
5. What is the most important problem that atheist believers in the Big Bang have?
Answer: Where did the original matter come from in the first place? If you don't believe in God, then there are really only two options: (1) matter is eternal (i.e., has always existed), or (2) spontaneous generation (i.e., it simply popped into existence without any cause at all). First, matter cannot be eternal because it occupies space; and anything that occupies space is limited by space. Moreover, modern physics tells us that anything that occupies space also occupies time and is thus limited by time. Finally, anything limited by time cannot be eternal. Second, spontaneous generation is sheer speculation and has never been observed. Even when certain subatomic particles appear to arise out of nothing, it only occurs under carefully controlled laboratory conditions; then such particles disappear as fast as they appear—hardly an adequate explanation for the existence of the universe.
6. What is the most important problem that Christian believers in the Big Bang have?
"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace…" I Corinthians 14:33. "Let all things be done decently and in order." I Corinthians 14:40.
Answer: Of course, Christian believers in the Big Bang could simply say that God created the original matter. However, it is inconceivable that a God of order would choose to "create" the universe by creating a huge explosion and then allow the resulting chaos to evolve into the universe. It is simply contrary to God's very character.
7. What does the language of Scripture tell us about how God created the universe?
"By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth." Psalm 33:6. "For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." Psalm 33:9. "For He commanded and they [e.g., angels, sun, moon, stars] were created." Psalm 148:5.
Answer: These texts clearly are not compatible with any notion of the Big Bang Theory, for they speak of instant creation from nothing.
8. How did life originate on earth?
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Genesis 2:7. "In Him [Jesus] was life…" John 1:4. "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life." John 11:25.
Answer: The Bible plainly says that God is the Life-Giver and that all life comes from Him. Atheistic evolutionists believe that somehow the right chemicals came together and perhaps a spark of lightning or another source of electricity brought them to life. But scientists have been unable to create life even under ideally controlled laboratory conditions, and common sense tells us that life comes from life; that non-life cannot create life. Besides, this idea of spontaneous generation was discredited by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century. Before his time, many scientists believed that maggots spontaneously generated themselves in sealed jars with rotted meat in them. But 19th century science discovered that the eggs of the maggots were already in the sealed jars. Although they don't talk much about it, atheistic evolutionists must believe that life occurred by spontaneous generation.
9. What processes do evolutionists say account for the evolution of life on earth?
Answer: (1) Natural Selection and (2) Genetic Mutations. Natural Selection is better known as "the survival of the fittest" principle—that the stronger members of a species survive so that some of them evolve into higher forms of life. But notice that this principle operates on subtraction, not addition; it doesn't add any new life forms by itself. Regarding Genetic Mutations, first, more than 90% of all mutations are harmful to the life form; some biologists even suggest more than 99% are harmful. Second, mutations of a single gene are very rare. Finally, in order to have a complex system (such as eyes) evolve, would require several simultaneous mutations that fit together perfectly. Although we can almost never say that something is absolutely impossible, the law of probabilities that this could happen are microscopically low. We believe it is unreasonable to believe that it has ever happened, but each person must determine if it is reasonable or not.
10. But don't the fossilized bones of Lucy and other alleged pre-man bones prove evolution is true?
"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all." Luke 17:26-27.
Answer: No. First, in the large majority of these findings, an amazingly few number of bones are actually there. And sometimes scientists assume a bone found nearby was from the same collection of bones—a conclusion sometimes disputed by other scholars. Often even evolutionist scholars concede that many of these bone collections simply represent an ape or other similar creature, rather than a human (although that is certainly under-reported by the media). Second, the dates given for such findings are based on the unproven principle of uniformitarianism—such as that soil depletion and soil deposition rates or the rate of decay of radioactive minerals associated with such bones or that the rate of carbon-14 on earth have remained the same throughout earth's history. But if the Genesis Flood account (Genesis Ch. 6-8) actually happened, then we must conclude that uniformitarianism in all of these examples cannot be true, thus placing the very old dates given by evolutionists in very considerable doubt. This is true because the great heat generated by volcanic action and the movement of tectonic plates, as well as depletion of what once was a much heavier atmosphere (as a large water canopy) in the pre-Flood world (Genesis 7:11-12), certainly means that our dating techniques cannot be reliable. And as the text above illustrates, Jesus Himself believed in the Genesis Flood account!
11. In contrast to evolution, how does Genesis depict the creation of man?
"So God created man in His own image…" Genesis 1:27. "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Genesis 2:7.
Answer: The Bible pictures God as personally taking great care to form man's physical body from the dust (or clay) of the ground, and then giving him life. And it says that He created man in His own image. Even if you were to somehow interpret these texts figuratively, the words clearly cannot be consistent with the theory of biological evolution!
12. What is the best evidence that evolutionists have to support their case, and is it valid?
Answer: The best evidence that at first glance supports evolution of life is the known fact that life forms adapt to new environments with larger bird beaks, change of skin color, and so on. However, what Charles Darwin, founder of evolution, did not know in his day is that environmental changes sometimes results in the turning off of certain genes (making them recessive) and the turning on of other genes (making them dominant). This scientifically proven fact offers a perfectly plausible explanation for small changes in life forms rather than relying upon mutations. Sometimes this switching on and off of genes is called micro-evolution, but we prefer to call it genetic adaptation instead. And this genetic adaptation never results in one kind of animal evolving into a very different kind of animal. Indeed, the genetic code already contains the possibility of different adaptations.
13. What does the Bible teach regarding the cause of death in the world?
"Therefore, just as through one man [Adam] sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned…." Romans 5:12. "For the wages of sin is death…" Romans 6:23.
Answer: The Bible clearly teaches that death is the result of mankind's sin. But evolution declares that death is an ongoing natural part of the evolution of life—that it will continue forever as evolution itself is a never-ending process. So if a Christian believes in evolution, (1) he cannot believe that a God of love (I John 4:8) would use the repeated deaths of living things to "create" more advanced life forms; and (2) he cannot believe in a Savior from sin and death, a Savior who will eventually end all death. Thus, salvation means nothing, by which we mean it could not exist.
14. What does the apostle Peter say about Christian skeptics in the last days?
"…scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His [Jesus'] coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.' For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water." II Peter 3:3-6.
Answer: The context of II Peter chapter 2 discusses false prophets and false teachers in the church. Therefore, the scoffers in II Peter 3 are also self-proclaimed Christians. And these verses bluntly tell us that such Christian scoffers "willfully forget" the events of Creation week and of the global Flood. Peter's reference to the earth "standing out of water and in the water" refers to God having "divided the waters which were under the firmament [air in the sky] from the waters which were above the firmament…." Genesis 1:7. The words "willfully forget" are harsh words, but they come from the apostle Peter, not us. This prediction has been being fulfilled since the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection in the late 19th century, and today evolution is quite popular in large parts of the Christian church.
Answer: Christian church members and other self-proclaimed Christians are free to believe anything that they choose to believe, including evolution. However, if they are generally aware of the basic teachings of evolution and of the Bible, they cannot accept both as true because in so many ways the Bible is not consistent with evolution. Such Christians, called theistic evolutionists, are being intellectually dishonest with themselves if they persist in their attempts to reconcile the Bible with evolution because they simply cannot be reconciled.
Quiz for Lesson #3—Can Christians Believe in Evolution?
Whenever a number is used with the Hebrew word yom, they are literal 24-hour days.
The "morning and evening" formula for each day means they are literal 24-hour days.
The carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle means they cannot each represent millions of years.
The Sabbath Commandment requires that the Creation days must be literal 24-hour days.
God is absolutely necessary to have started the Big Bang.
Matter is usually believed to have always existed in the universe.
Some believe that matter simply popped into existence without a cause.
Atheistic evolutionists believe that the right mix of chemicals with a spark created life.
Life can only come from life, and God is the ultimate source of all life in the universe.
God is not necessary to explain the origin of life on earth.
Evolutionists teach that natural selection and genetic mutation are the processes involved.
At least 90 percent of all mutations are harmful to the life form.
Natural selection operates on the principle of addition.
It is unreasonable to believe that complex systems such as eyes could evolve by chance.
All dating techniques are based on the principle of uniformitarianism.
We know that soil depletion and soil deposition rates are not uniform.
The Bible story of the global Flood makes all dating techniques at least suspect.
Most dating techniques can be scientifically relied upon.
Yes, and it is properly explained by genetic mutations.
Yes, and it is properly explained by the switching on and off of certain genes.
Yes, and currently we have no scientific explanation for that fact.
Evolution requires that death continue for as long as life does.
The Bible teaches that death is an unnatural enemy caused by mankind's sin.
Salvation cannot exist if evolution were true.
Sin is a natural part of intelligent life that will never go away.
They will willfully forget that Jesus is coming again.
They will willfully forget that God created the heavens and the earth.
They will willfully forget that the global Flood happened.

NYC Pride March concludes month of Stonewall commemorations
NEW YORK (AP) — New York is throwing a massive LGBTQ Pride march as other cities including San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle also host parades commemorating the 50th anniversary of the clash between police and gay bar patrons that sparked the modern gay rights movement.
New York's Pride march kicks off at noon Sunday with 677 contingents including community groups, major corporations and cast members from FX's "Pose." Organizers say they expect 150,000 people to march as hundreds of thousands more line the streets.
A smaller Queer Liberation March is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. at the Stonewall Inn, the bar where patrons resisted a police raid in 1969, proceeding to Central Park for a rally. The organizers of the queer march say the larger Pride event is too commercialized and heavily policed.

I'm designing a home with thick exterior walls (1') and interior walls of average size (4"); my issue is that the room dimension tools don't calculate properly when I have two interior walls of one thickness joining to an exterior wall of another thickness. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Can you inform the version number of your program?
I'm using Home Design Studio Complete 19 for Mac.
this is a problem that appears only when you use walls with different thickness, as you observed. However, note that the issue is the text in the label => the information in the Estimator is correct.
My suggestion => deactivate the information in the automatic label => use the wall to wall dimension tool => set the label manually.

What are the common pitfalls when migrating to the cloud?
Posted on Jul 2020
More articles by Alan Fisher
I've seen many pitfalls in my time. Often cloud adoption builds a head of steam and charges off down the tracks to do cloud migration but then there's an absence of control.
Cost control, understanding who can actually spin up cloud resources under a pay-as-you-go model, is very important. And who's responsible for switching them off if they don't work. That allocation of who's actually paying for those cloud resources needs to be a closed loop because if there isn't, people can basically treat the cloud as if it's free, but somebody, ultimately in that organisation, will get the bill.
Cloud is almost infinitely flexible, but with that infinite flexibility comes a potential for misconfiguration. So if something is misconfigured in a way which is not to an industry recognised or a vendor recognised standard, then that can potentially lead to security exposures.
You need to know where your data is, what the controls are around that data, and also understand who it is that has got the ability to extract potential snapshots of that data or your whole organisational data set to do whatever they happen to feel the need to do. This is part of understanding what you've got and then building adequate controls around it irrespective of whether it's on premises or within the cloud. That's just a basic hygiene factor.

Shining a light on "home insecure" youth
In West Philadelphia, a group of teenagers have been working with artists, counselors and teachers exploring what "home" means. It's organized by the Mural Arts project. The young people's photos and stories inspired public health researchers to look closely at an aspect of urban teenage life that is dangerous and under-reported.
Just mention the word homeless and images of men sleeping on the sidewalks or under bridges may come to mind. They are the most visible homeless people, but there's an entire population of teens who don't have a stable place to spend the night or get a meal. They're called "home insecure" youth and they are mostly invisible.
"I think because you don't see homeless kids, young adults is because they're moving house to house or because they don't like it or their parents kick them out," said a young homeless person who did not want to be identified.
He's one of the 35 young people who shared their stories. The Mural Arts project "A Place to Call Home" documented their precarious living situations. University of Pennsylvania public health professor Carolyn Cannuscio says poverty is the common denominator in their lives.
"In Philadelphia if you want to look at the extremes, in 2009, 3500 children 17 year old and younger did not have a home at some point during the year," said Cannuscio. "But when we want to look at poverty more broadly 40 percent or families in north central Philadelphia are living at or near the poverty line, that a high degree of poverty."
Zachary Wood agrees. He's the development director of Philadelphia's Covenant House, a chapter of the one of the largest national organizations helping homeless youth. Every night, he says, Covenant house shelters 50 or so Philadelphia teens, but reaching "home insecure" youth has proven elusive.
"What we've seen is a lot of young people even inside the school system who are bouncing from house to house–staying with friends, relatives, Granma–bouncing around that technically would under the homeless definition," said Wood. "They don't see themselves that way and even if they did they don't want anyone to know that."
"I've been homeless before until my dad kicked me out, after I dropped out of school to help pay the bills," said another teen. "After he got better and start doing what he does, he kicked me out. I was home and I ended up sleeping under the boardwalk and ended up at Covenant house."
This 21 year-old, who lived for a while in Atlantic City, is now the doting father of a two year old boy. By participating in "A Place to Call Home" he connected with services and is earning his GED. In telling their stories, the students invariably defined home this way.
"Home for me is a safe place — a quiet place. When I'm my home I feel safe, relaxed I feel like myself when I'm in my home, when I'm outside my house I don't feel as safe as I want to be."
"Honestly these kids have to be so vigilant all the time and they know it," said Carolyn Cannuscio. "They live their lives under the threat of gun violence in the city. They all talk to us about the gun shots they hear. boom boom boom, in their neighborhoods. They dream of a place with no gun shots. They're not sure if such a place exists."
Cannuscio has just released a study on housing and young people's health, based on the teen's interviews.
"In the long term they're experiencing more chronic illness," she said. "They're more likely to die young from chronic diseases , even if they survive the gun violence in their neighborhood."
"My house is not a good place to be, there's a lot of stuff going on," said one young woman. "It's cold, there's people in the house that do nothing and just sit around. Sometimes they'd be fooling, like my mom when she goes shopping, they try to fight on me or have an attitude. There's too many drugs."
Right now, there aren't too many places for teens to get help finding housing, a job or health care. Many service organization are better set for an older homeless population or for temporary shelter. Reverend Charles Howard, chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania, says their stories speak of resilience and a reluctant measure of hope.
"They ran away so they could thrive as a survival tactic," said Howard. "That's really sad. Yet it also speaks of the courage of a lot of folks in the streets. It takes a great a great heart to navigate life on your own at 13, 14, 15, That's a tough kid and a kid that can do something special in this world if given the opportunity."
But before these young people can get that opportunity, they have to come out of the shadows. This project proves how much work it takes to build enough trust for them to risk asking for help. The next step is for society to deliver on the promises.

Burmese Star Tortoise
There are around 1,000 estimated to be in the wild
The species grows to be around 25 to 35 centimetres in length
The weight of the species is around 250 to 500 grams
The species is only found in Myanmar, mostly in the north, but as far south as Moulmein.
The Burmese Star Tortoise is a beautiful tortoise which has a dark carapace which has up to 6 golden stars on it. Sporting a yellow underbelly while having a three point jaw and a protruding snout. Males differ from females by having a thicker tail.
Find Out More About the Burmese Star Tortoise
The Burmese Star Tortoise is one of the least studied tortoises in the world. Very little is known about the species wild behaviours. The species lays eggs in February which are quiet large, but very few in number.
The diet of the Burmese Star Tortoise consists of:
The habitat of the Burmese Star Tortoise ranges from thorn scrub to pastures to dry deciduous forests.
The main threats of the existence of the Burmese Star Tortoise is that is eaten by the local Myanmar people as well as exported to China as a delicacy.
The Burmese Star Tortoise has an extensive breeding program in place which is proving quite successful. It started in 2004, where the captive breeding program has now reared around 14,000 individuals! This is starting to result in animals being released in the wild, with a 1,000 recently being released. This program will need to continue strongly around the world to give the species maximum opportunities to once again thrive in the wild.

But do we really want our biographers to be respectful to the point of silence? This was the first time that all five paintings were united in a monographic display.
Schama reads Rembrandt's self-portraits in various costumes-as a merchant, as a soldier, for example-as indications of his elusiveness, as if each portrait were meant to conceal rather than reveal its subject.

It is equal parts analysis of Rembrandt's painting, documentation of his life and history of 17th century Holland, so sections of the book can be read with profit by anyone studying the artist, his art or the social history of the times. The last named publication, documenting a loan exhibition from the Albertina to Milwaukee, sets the context for Rembrandt drawings within Dutch seventeenth-century draughtsmanship from Jacques de Gheyn II to Jan van Huysum.
There is a similar Rembrandt at the National Gallery, and the one here will be carried tenderly in the next month or two to Washington, where the two paintings will be hung and studied side by side. Kollwitz created unforgettable scenes of struggling workers, rebellious peasants, and grieving mothers in series of works that reveal her innovative technical and formal experiments.

A few days ago, I wrote about how I was exploited by a client on my blog.
The blog post has attracted a lot of views, attention and responses, which was really unexpected for me. Many people started sharing the post out, spreading it to their friends and family.
Also, many people commented on my post and showed their support, which I am really thankful for.
Thank you all for your concern.
Well, three days after the blog post was published, I received a text from my talent manager that the client has read the blog post.
They were very concerned about this issue and they wanted to talk it out with me to resolve it.
They said they could totally understand my frustration and anger, and why I wanted to bring this issue up to the public.
I will not disclose our conversation any further as I think it's better to keep it between the parties involved only.
However, I can tell you that we have agreed and come to a resolution for this matter.
The client is willing to make compensation and send me an OFFICIAL apology letter to make it up for this situation, while I promise to take down the blog post that contained negative comments about them.
This afternoon, I received an "apology" email from the client's representative.
I wasn't expecting this at all, and it's my first time receiving such an impressive apology letter!
Really, I am impressed that this email actually came from a representative of an established company.
I think even primary school students can write a better OFFICIAL apology letter, don't you guys think so?
No addressing. No salutation. No greetings. No explanations. No sign-off.
Most important of all, NO SINCERITY??? Ok la, maybe 1% la.
I mean, if you want to apologise to someone, you do it whole-heartedly.
I don't know but I feel like she is doing it just because she HAD to???
Am I really asking for too much?
How would you feel if you receive an apology letter like this?
Comment and let me know.
macam tak ikhlas pulak bila baca permohonan maaf dia..
I am glad that I am not the only one who feels the same.
don't worry, compensation has been made hahaha!
I see this as a normal letter saying sorry between friends instead of a official apology letter.
OMG they are so unprofessional. Fortunately you get your compensation back. Support you!
Thank you for having the courage to expose and share this with us.
is this official sent to you?
This is completely improper. Don't accept it and continue to divulge their dark sides!
They are not sincere in writing the apology letter. There is no addressing and signing off. It looks like an informal apology just to brush off the issue.

Tell 'Em Apart, Hook 'Em Up And Look Smart Doing It.
For simplicity's sake, let's just say there are two kinds of fuel injectors: peak and hold and saturated. The difference between the two has to do with resistance. Peak and hold (aka low impedance) injector coils exhibit less electrical resistance than saturated (aka high impedance) injector coils. Typically, peak and hold Honda injectors will exhibit between 2 to 3 ohms resistance while saturated ones will measure somewhere around 12 ohms. This is all pretty useless and boring information until you do something like an engine transplant or go out and swap your stock fuel injectors for a high-flow set.
Injectors are really just valves controlled by the ECU by timed electrical signals called pulse widths. Honda fuel injectors rely on constant power for their pulse widths-the ecU supplies the ground-therefore, the injectors open and close based upon ground signals dictated by the computer. When ground is applied, they close and when it's not, they open. Some Honda ECUs are not designed to work with low impedance injectors. An injector or ECU swap or engine transplant can be all it takes to fry an otherwise perfectly good ECU-and that's exactly what can happen given the right circumstances.
The problem has to do with heat, which can be correlated to resistance in this case. For those Honda ECUs not designed for low impedance injectors, their injector drivers can heat up and fail because of the added current. Even the injectors themselves can heat up. With peak and hold drivers, the 12V is still delivered to the injector but current rises. Testing has revealed nearly double the temperature when using low impedance injectors on the wrong application. It's important to note that resistance decreases current and that current creates heat. If current can't be reduced then the chances of the drivers heating up and failing is increased. Of course, some of this depends on driving habits as well. High engine speeds and injector duty cycles can also create added heat, like when driving up a hill or at the track.
Determining which fuel injectors you have is simple. All you need is some sort of digital volt-ohm meter (DVOM)-even an analog one will work. Set the tool to read ohms and connect both of the DVOM's probes to the injector's two pins. The injector doesn't need to be installed to do this so just leave it on your workbench.
What do you do when you find out those low impedance injectors you ended up with aren't compatible with your ECU? This isn't really uncommon, by the way, since most aftermarket high-flow injectors are the low impedance type. The easiest fix is to add an injector resistor box. They aren't all that hard to find and can be sourced from many older Hondas or even Mitsubishis, like the Eclipse. A resistor box is nothing more than a simple device that steps down current between the ECU and fuel injectors. It's also not terribly difficult to wire up. For OBD-I vehicles, begin by locating the driver-side harness connectors near the brake master cylinder. Using your multimeter, locate the four wires that go to the injectors. Cut these four wires and connect the injector-side wires to the resistor box's black wires in any order. It's easiest if you score the resistor assembly's opposing plug to make the engine removal easier later on. Connect the resistor box's remaining power wire to all four of the remaining ends of the cut injector signal wires, which will give them their 12V power signal. That's it.

Today I went to listen to a talk about Easter Island. It was given to members of our club by Pieter Baas, a well-known dendrologist. On the basis of scientific facts he demolished the romantic theory that the first inhabitants of Easter Island had created their own demise by deforestation or hubris, that is by an over ambitious habit of building enormous statues. These legacies of a disappeared culture not only attract thousands of tourists today. It also thrills a world in fear of losing its supportive ecosystem.
What happened? In my words: a group of explorers with their families arrived on this island in historic times, just as on most other islands of the Pacific, during the great Eastward expansion of the Polynesians. Only this time they walked into a trap. The island was too distant from other inhabited islands. It was highly improbable that they would retain contact with their origins.
This became even more implausible when for whatever reason deforestation set in. Fewer trees of the right size to construct boats for long trips became available. The colonizers were stuck with the island. As the material for boatbuilding declined, the distances they could travel into the ocean shrank, and so their access to the larger animals they hunted for protein. Their diet changed, now relying instead on crustaceans fished near the coast.
They had sailed into a prison, which they adapted to, as human beings always do. Their lives became different, but their lives were not truly unsustainable. That is, as long as they were not "discovered" by other explorers.
This is just my take on some of the facts given by Pieter Baas. Yet the riddle of the giant statues remains complete. They may not have been the cause of deforestation or the collapse of the social structure that was needed to produce them. Still the statues required an extraordinary effort.
Excavating the giant stones, sculpting them into ancestral effigies, rolling them without hardly any technical devices for miles along causeways? Heaving them into upright position? Putting giant stones on their heads? As far as I know nowhere in the Pacific the motivational energy has appeared to produce an equal effort.
So it struck me as an hypothesis that as all art these sculptures expressed an emotional necessity. As the islanders became more aware of their distance to the home country, which they would never visit again or have contact with, their ancestral memories became more important. Like the story of the origins took on myth-like proportions, the need to be surrounded by evidence that they were not alone, took the form of sculptures that did not face the un-crossable ocean, but inward to their lonely settlements, like giant parents.
This were the musings I played with while listening to the scientific discourse taking apart the story of the sculptures as a cause of decline. But what if the sculptures had been a defence against a loss of hope? Symbols of loneliness?

Improve your Resilience, Function, Sporting Performance, Breathing and Wellbeing.
The body has two priorities for survival. To breathe and to move. It finds way's to meet these priorities by by "cheating" and compensating in order to do this. However, these strategies can result in measurable reductions in range of movement, flexibility, strength and muscular endurance.
This leaves our bodies less resilient with an increased likelihood of pain & dysfunction, effecting the way we move and behave. These compensation strategies can fatigue, resulting in a gradual decline in function and performance, leading to a viscious cycle of pain, poor movement, increased risk of injury and reduced wellbeing.
The result is at best a loss of energy, at worst - constant chronic pain, reduced function and injury.
It's almost inevitable now - for everyone. But it's equally simple to reverse and restore function.
The Be Activated system starts by assessing what your body is doing now, via manual muscle tests and flexibility, so that changes can be clearly measured.
Then we Activate the body to breathe correctly.
Once this First Priority is met effectively, we run through the bodies muscle sequencing patterns, testing and activating, so that muscles and structures can return to their correct patterns, doing their OWN job, not cheating or compensating to help others.
Then the body and nervous system can integrate and allow you to move and function optimally and efficiently.
A stress-free body can go back to working at full capacity and with full energy.
This doesn't mean you will suddenly become indestructible. Chronic muscle patterns do need reminding.
The Activation techniques are simple to teach clients, so that they are empowered to change their compensation patterns. Offering unique, powerful tools to control your own health, performance and wellbeing.
Changes can be profound, physically and emotionally.
