Expert Analyzes White House Site
Author: Declan McCullaghDeclan McCullagh
WASHINGTON – When President Bush's whitehouse.gov site opened its virtual doors on Saturday, it wasn't without glitches: The First Homepage was riddled with broken images, placeholder messages and bad links.
When asked about the state of the site, a harried White House spokesman said, "we're still trying to get everything up and running here." Monday was the first day at work for Bush's new press aides. Bush transition spokesman Tucker Eskew could not be reached for comment.
Wired News spoke on the phone to Jakob Nielsen – design virtuoso and well-known Web usability critic – about what's good, what's bad and what needs to be fixed on the U.S. Executive Branch's Web window to the world.
Wired News: Did you have a chance to look at the new whitehouse.gov site?
Jakob Nielsen: Yes. What's actually astounding is that the problems are still there despite having been reported in public. People can make mistakes – but taking this long to repair them (is unusual). That indicates to me that they still don't have their act together.
By way of comparison, when Hewlett-Packard launched a new Web design, I discovered some new error there. I just posted it on my home page as a kind of challenge – let's see how long it takes before they fix it – and it took three hours.
WN: What are the good points of the new design?
JN: First of all, one has to grant that the Bush administration doesn't have as much time to prepare as they traditionally would. But that site could have been put together by one person in a few days.
There are a few good things about this site. It's simple, which is good. Many of the early White House websites were filled with pictures, which took a long time to download. It could be because they don't have a lot of content, but it is easier to navigate.
They've done quite a good job of accessibility for disabled users. It's very easy to access text-only version from every page. That's very good. Most other websites don't have that.
They've generally done a good job (on accessibility). Compared to most company websites, this website is actually fairly good. But they have problems (with putting labels on images for text-only connections).
Also when you look at things like the biography of the (most recent presidents) those are very brief, which is good. What is bad is that there are no links from the brief biographies into in-depth ones.
WN: What's bad about it?
JN: The worst is lack of content. There's close to no content, to be honest.
The new administration doesn't have a lot of accomplishments yet. But they could have things like who was nominated for the Cabinet, including biographies. A lot of additional information about things they're doing, their policy papers, things they're planning on doing.
It also seems odd that when you click the press page, it doesn't provide you with the address of the press office, which is a standard thing to do.
When they put up the inaugural address, they could have supplemented it with multimedia.... A good thing to do is to have audio clips of particularly good sound bites.
Several audio clips of good pieces of the speech and maybe a few video clips as well would have been a reasonable thing to do. A really professional organization would have had those things up within minutes or within hours of the speech. At least two days later they should.
There's actually a coding deficiency in the text-only version. They reversed the sequence of two of the directories in the path. It indicates a lack of debugging. Those types of problems ought to have been detected, particularly due to the small size of this website.
There are actually two different goals met by the same website: Background on the administration and the history of the White House. They are somewhat intertwined. If they separated out the two in more of a clear way, when Bush took over there'd be no need to touch the area of the website about the White House in general. That would not be political and that would not need to be changed.
WN: They took some pages from the old whitehouse.gov site, but some are out of date.
JN: They still have information about tours from Jan. 17, which has to be updated. You don't want to keep old information on your website.
There's also not a link from the White House logo to the home page. Every page has a White House logo, which is good.... But you should be able to click on the big obvious thing on each page. The search function is easy to use.
WN: But if you click "Search" without typing anything in, it searches for the word "search."
JN: Now that is silly. That's a good example of small things that haven't been put right. It's a lack of quality assurance.
The bigger thing is that it ought to be possible to make a small website like this in the time available. It quite feels as though it might have been an afterthought for them.
WN: Let's say President Bush reads this interview, and says we need to hire Jacob Nielsen to fix whitehouse.gov. What should be done?
JN: What really should be done is the full process, which is that you want to start out discovering the users' information needs, which is why people are at the website. If it were a normal company, you'd have access to the server logs for the most popular areas and also the search logs.
Given the tensions between (the incoming and) the outgoing administration, maybe they couldn't get that ahead of time. There ought to be a rule that when you're changing administrations the old one has to turn over information to the new one.
Even if they couldn't get access to the server logs, they could still run usability tests, so you'd get information about what worked and didn't work from the old site. Now that they have the new design up and it's very, very thin, you need a plan to put up content (perhaps from the campaign website).
WN: There's also the inauguration website and the transition website.
JN: Usually I would recommend against repurposing content, but given how sparse the site is, that's probably the first thing they should do. They could get that moved over in a few days. I say a few days instead of a few hours because you may want an editor to review the content to make sure it's appropriate for an official site.
I'd put together a two-step plan: A quick fix, in two days or so. And a longer-term fix, which could possibly take a few weeks to do. And to do that you'd take a look at what are a user's tasks, and what information architecture could be in place.
I'm not sure that the structure that they have now will hold the vastly more information they'll have available half a year from now.... That's an important task, to map out a scalable architecture.
If you had a huge budget, you'd hire several designers and do a parallel design exercise.... The goal would be to explore several different ways to have page designs represent the information architecture. That's about a one-week process. After that you pick not the winner, but the winning aspects of the best designs. The rest you throw out and say it's the cost of doing business. Then you iterate two or three times. This could have been done in a month.
WN: What would you take from the old whitehouse.gov design?
JN: What I remember is that I thought it was rather heavy, both in terms of the graphic and download time, and putting it on a little bit thickly about how good they were. It comes from politics, but I think you want to scale back a little bit.
That would be my advice for the new site as well. The less blatantly you promote yourself, the more credibility you gain. Credibility is a major issue on the Web.
WN: What examples could the whitehouse.gov team follow?
JN: The standard thing that comes to mind are sites like Amazon and Yahoo, which let you get through large amounts of information in a very efficient manner. They should probably take some lessons from Yahoo since they'll have a lot of (information eventually) in place.
Another point is that given their particular position, they need to have more of that official image to it as well. And that's a little bit odd when you look at the homepage right now. It doesn't look very official. It looks like someone put it up in two hours.

Commentary: U.S. Supreme Court set to rule on case involving LCMS congregation
Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO and General Counsel Michael Farris addresses a crowd outside the U.S. Supreme Court following oral arguments in the case of Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, while ADF Senior Counsel David Cortman (at Farris' left), who argued for Trinity before the high court, looks on with a smile. (Courtesy of Alliance Defending Freedom)
While The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is not a party to the litigation, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) attorneys are representing Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbia, Mo., in the case known as Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer (formerly Pauley), which came about after Trinity sought to participate in the 2012 Playground Scrap Tire Surface Material Grant Program to resurface its playgrounds with the safer, recycled tire products provided by the supposedly neutral program. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources later decided Trinity's learning center was ineligible for the program — a determination purportedly made on an interpretation of a state-constitution provision prohibiting government aid to religion. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case by late June.
A version of the following commentary originally ran in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on April 23. The commentary is used with ADF's permission for Reporter Online. — Editor
By James Gottry
On April 19, an unusual scene played out on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. Bystanders were treated to a portable playground of sorts, complete with rubber tires, a plastic slide, children in bright yellow baseball caps, and large helium-filled balloons spelling out the words "Fair Play."
Inside, the justices took their own figurative trip to the playground, as the high court heard oral arguments in Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, a case involving a little playground at a little preschool in Columbia [Mo.]. But, as is often the case, little things mean a lot. Indeed, the outcome could determine whether the government can exclude some groups from neutrally available public benefits solely because they are religious.
As to why a preschool and its playground are at the center of a dispute before the Supreme Court, that is, both figuratively and literally, where the rubber meets the road. Trinity Lutheran Church operates a preschool called Trinity Lutheran Child Learning Center, which has a playground that students and the community at-large use. In 2012, Trinity applied for a state program that makes playgrounds safer by partially reimbursing grant recipients for rubberized surface material they purchase for their playgrounds.
The program, known as the Missouri Scrap Tire Grant Program, doesn't just protect students from head injuries and scraped knees, [but] it also benefits the environment because the surface material is made from recycled tires, thereby reducing the number of tires in landfills. A tax on all tire purchases funds the program, ensuring that the community pays and the community benefits.
Unfortunately, like a spin on the merry-go-round after one too many hot dogs, what happened next left the preschool director, students, community members and people of faith feeling less than stellar — and decidedly second-rate.
Knowing that its current playground surface of jagged pea gravel posed a hazard to its students, as well as to the community children who use the playground on evenings and weekends, Trinity applied for the program. Like other organizations, its application was evaluated based on a number of criteria, including product description, the percentage of low-income families benefited, and whether the school provided a detailed plan for installation of the surface material. Of the 44 applications received, Trinity's ranked fifth, and 14 grants were awarded. The decision was simple math, until state officials bumped Trinity off the list of recipients.
The state's argument was straightforward (though flawed): The state constitution prohibits aid to religion, and state officials broadly interpreted this provision to ban a religious nonprofit even from receiving a neutrally available public benefit. The problem with this position, though, is that the First Amendment forbids discrimination on the basis of religion, and it forbids any government official from punishing an organization or an individual simply for being religious.
Trinity Lutheran and other nonprofits seek parity, not preference. They seek a commonsense — and constitutional — system in which members of the community are treated equally, regardless of where they worship or which playgrounds they frequent. A skinned knee hurts just as much on the grounds of religious preschool as it does at a secular one. So why should we treat them differently?
Early indications are that the Supreme Court may be poised to offer a ruling protecting religious nonprofits from such heavy-handed hostility. During oral arguments, several of the justices expressed skepticism toward the state's position. Justice Elena Kagan said the state's position imposed a "clear burden on a constitutional right" because "people of a certain religious status are being prevented from competing in the same way everybody else is for a neutral benefit." Newly confirmed Justice Neil Gorsuch referred to the state's actions as "discrimination on the basis of status of religion."
The Supreme Court's decision is expected in late June. Even though school will be out for the summer, the court has the opportunity to teach all government officials a valuable lesson: Whether on the playground, inside the walls of a community center, or on the grounds of a nonprofit … when it comes to religion, the Constitution requires government to play fair.

Barry Harris says:
Our Lutheran School has special Ed. teachers come to our school provided by the state. It seems like that's a lot closer to religion in a parochial school than rubber on the playground and It also seems like child safety should be important and available to all children wherever they are, it has nothing to do with religion.
Mike Fogarty says:
" Supreme Court may be poised to offer a ruling protecting religious nonprofits from such heavy-handed hostility." Really?
So with limited funds the state should give to those that do not pay property taxes above those who do? The state should help public properties before private profit/nonprofit properties. Maybe if those who do not pay property tax use some of those funds saved to provide playground materials more children would be protected.
Using fear such as the term "heavy-handed hostility" pits the church against government which is not the case.
Just like other cases the church has said they won on religious grounds by hurting a church member, on questionable reasons in my opinion. Did we hurt one of our own calling it biblical or was the reason funds?
I maybe out of touch but I feel the need to question the leadership.
LCMS Church Information Center says:
The state actually invited nonprofits to apply for the grants from the Playground Scrap Tire Surface Materials Grant Program that was administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The grant program recycles scrap tires into rubber playground surfaces in an attempt to reduce the amount of tires in landfills and to foster children's safety. After listing Trinity among the top applicants, the Missouri DNR later decided Trinity's learning center was ineligible for the program — a determination made solely on an interpretation of a state-constitution provision prohibiting government aid to religion.
Also, the LCMS is not a party to the litigation. However, last year, the Synod participated in an amicus brief for the case. Amicus briefs provide pertinent information to the court regarding a case and alert the court to the ways in which the case may affect people outside of the two parties involved. The complete amicus brief is available for download at http://www.lcms.org/board/amicusbriefs.
The Rev. BT Ball says:
One thing I've been wondering seeing all the news about this case over the last few weeks…did they ever get the playground fixed?
The playground didn't need to be fixed, as it was surfaced with pea gravel. The state offered the grant program to nonprofit organizations to use recycled scrap tires for rubber playground surfaces in an attempt to reduce the amount of tires in landfills and to foster children's safety.
Thanks for the response. I understand the specifics of the case, so perhaps the word "fixed" wasn't helpful. My question is did the congregation replace the pea gravel or not?

Kogan expands to UK
Online retailer expects to launch UK business in November
Kevin Cheng (Good Gear Guide) on 15 October, 2010 09:27
Budget online electronics vendor Kogan Technologies is making the jump to the UK market, with sales of products like the company's low-priced TVs beginning in mid-November.
Ruslan Kogan, founder and CEO of Kogan Technologies, confirmed a Current.com.au report that the retailer would be establishing a Web site at www.kogan.co.uk. "International expansion into the UK is a way forward for the Kogan business model," Kogan told PC World. "The shipping containers are on the way to the UK as we speak."
There will be a limited ranges of products available when the business launches in the UK, but Kogan said that eventually all of the company's current line-up would be available, including its new home appliance range.
According to Kogan, the company made the decision because "nobody does it like Kogan in the UK. We've looked at the UK carefully and many of the businesses follow ancient business models, unlike Kogan's." "We're always looking for better and more innovative ways to deliver technology and we want to show the Pommies how to do that," he said.
Kogan said that the company was looking to expand to other markets but would not comment on which ones. Kogan Technologies owns a number of domain names including kogan.co.nz (New Zealand), kogan.cn (China) and kogan.jp (Japan), but it is not unusual for companies to register multiple domains to protect their brand.
However, Kogan said that the brand would remain committed to its Australian customers. "Our priority is always with our Australian customers, but we always knew that Kogan would expand to other countries," he said.
Kogan said that the UK venture would be managed in Melbourne. "There will only be a warehouse and logistics setup in the UK. We will run the UK business the same way we have in Australia."
The Australian company is continuing to develop new products. "The most exciting developments in our industry are the convergence of Internet services and TVs," said Kogan. "We are really excited about products like Google TV and are looking to release products that combine the two."

Narcissists suffer from a mental illness known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, in which they have an exaggerated, grandiose opinion of themselves and expect the world to revolve around them. They belittle the views of others because they believe that their own opinions and observations on the world are the absolute truth and anyone who questions them is wrong.
Narcissists belittle others because they have their own insecurities, fears and flaws, and are afraid of having them exposed to others. In making hurtful comments to others, they reinforce their own feelings of importance and hide the low self-esteem and self-worth that may be lurking within.
A narcissist will monitor those around them to assess who they can hurt the most. The more they can put you down, the better they will feel about themselves. It's like an addiction, where your hurt feelings are their drug of choice. But being addicted to something doesn't absolve you of the consequences that may arise as a result of your condition.
Nothing a narcissist does to hurt you is an accident. They are a calculating bunch, with no regard as to the effect that their words and actions have on those upon which they prey. They intentionally hurt you because of feelings they have. These feelings may have started as far back as their childhoods making them feel flawed and insecure, and becoming more intense with age. They feel that putting you down will make them look better in the eyes of others, thereby hiding any feelings that they don't want to be exposed.
When you challenge a narcissist's view of the world, be ready for some blowback. Narcissists do not place any value on others' opinions, and if you challenge theirs, they most certainly will lash out against you, speaking abusively and maybe even threatening you.
Don't back down. Narcissists prey on those they feel are most vulnerable. Therefore, if you throw what they say and do to you right back at them, they are likely to switch their personality to a meeker approach. They may try to put a spin on your reaction by implying that they would never even hurt a fly, trying to make you look like the one who is over-reacting and coming down too hard on them.
Withholding love and affection, empathy or intimacy.
Discounting a partner's opinions or ideas as incorrect or even stupid.
Verbal abuse in the form of hurtful jokes.
Judging and criticizing someone in order to damage their self-esteem and increases their need for the narcissist's validation.
Trivializing something that is important to another person.
Threatening divorce, abuse, or other actions that would hurt someone who cares about them.
Narcissists often seem to be stuck in the egocentric stage of a child's world, where they perceive everything as it relates to them. Most people outgrow this stage with age, while others are conditioned by their upbringing to remain attached to these values of excessive self-importance. In turn, as adults, their behavior seems very much like a child in the me, me, me stage. At that point, they are most likely already narcissists and the best thing to do is to avoid them.
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I definitely enjoyed reading it, you could be a great author. I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back from now on. I want to encourage you to definitely continue your great work, have a nice weekend!

Frigg es una de las diosas mayores en la mitología nórdica y germánica, esposa de Odín, reina de los Æsir y diosa del cielo. Es la diosa de la fertilidad, el amor, el manejo del hogar, el matrimonio, la maternidad, las artes domésticas, la previsión y la sabiduría. Se le relaciona con la diosa griega Hera.

En las Eddas se la menciona como una de las diosas principales, junto a Freyja. Sus funciones primordiales en los relatos de la mitología nórdica la mencionan como esposa y madre. Tiene el poder de la profecía aunque nunca relata lo que sabe, y es la única que junto a Odín tiene permitido sentarse en el trono Hliðskjálf y observar sobre los nueve mundos.

Frigg también participa en la cacería salvaje, Asgardreid, junto a su esposo. Los hijos de Frigg son Baldr, Höðr y sus hijastros son Hermóðr, Heimdall, Tyr, Vidar y Váli. Thor es mencionado en algunas ocasiones como su hermano o como su hijastro. Frigg es acompañada en ocasiones por Eir, la diosa de las curaciones. Las ayudantes de la diosa son Hlín, Gná y Fulla.

Etimología
El nombre de la diosa en nórdico antiguo es Frigg (genitivo Friggjar), en sajón antiguo Fri, y en anglosajón Frig, siendo todas formas derivadas del protogermánico Frijō. Frigg es cognado con el sánscrito prīyā́ que significa "esposa". La raíz también aparece en la forma en sajón antiguo de fri que significa "dama amada", en sueco fría "proponer matrimonio" y en islandés como frjá que significa "amar".

Algunas traducciones al inglés han adaptado el nombre a Frigga. Se ha sugerido que Frau Holle del folclore germano es un remanente de Frigg. La conexión entre Frau Holle y Frigg puede ser trazada hasta Jacob Grimm. Sin embargo algunos catedráticos sugieren que la evidencia lingüística que las relaciona se debe a una traducción errónea desde el latín.

Atributos
El asterismo ('Constelación') de Orión era conocido como la "rueca de Frigg" o el "huso de Frigg" Friggerock, aunque en ocasiones se le asignaba a Freyja y era llamado Frejerock. Algunos señalan que la constelación se encuentra en el Ecuador celeste y se ha sugerido que las estrellas rotando en el cielo de la noche pudieron ser asociadas con la rueca de Frigg.

En las Eddas, se menciona que Frigg es Fjörgyns mær, etimológicamente "doncella de Fjörgynn". El problema es que en nórdico antiguo mær significa tanto "hija" como "esposa", razón por la cual no es del todo claro si Fjörgynn es el padre de Frigg tal como se relata en Skáldskaparmál o es otro nombre para su esposo Odín tal como es interpretado en Lokasenna. El significado original de fjörgynn era "la tierra", cf. versión femenina de Fjörgyn, un epíteto para Jörð, "la tierra".

La residencia de Frigg en el Asgard es Fensalir, que significa "Salón del pantano". La diosa Saga, quien es descrita bebiendo con Odín de copas doradas en su salón Sökkvabekkr, de características idénticas a Frigg y se ha sugerido que se trata de otro nombre para la diosa.

Relatos sobre Frigg

Muerte de Baldr

La más famosa de las historias de Frigg la representa en su rol de madre, en el relato de la muerte de Baldr, su hijo, preservado en el poema Baldrs draumar de la Edda poética, y también en Gylfaginning en la Edda prosaica. Frigg no se preocupa demasiado por su otro hijo, el ciego Höðr, pero si por su hermano Baldr, y con una preocupación maternal intenta protegerlo luego de que él tuviera sueños proféticos sobre su propia muerte.

La diosa recorrió el mundo y le hizo prestar juramento a todas las cosas de que no le harían daño. Luego de ello, los dioses reunidos en el Thing se entretenían arrojándole cosas sabiendo que nada era capaz de herirlo. El gigante Loki quien sentía aversión por Baldr, intentó averiguar alguna debilidad suya engañando a Frigg. Se convirtió en una mujer y le preguntó a la diosa si había olvidado tomar juramento a alguna cosa. Frigg reveló que había considerado al muérdago muy joven como para hacerle jurar. Loki conociendo esto hizo un dardo de muérdago y lo colocó en las manos de Höðr quien no se había unido al juego de arrojarle cosas ya que era ciego. Loki se ofreció para guiarlo y así ayudó a arrojar a Höðr el dardo que dio muerte a Baldr.

Höðr luego es muerto en un enfrentamiento con Váli, y Odín envía a uno de sus hijos, Hermóðr, para negociar con Hel el regreso de Baldr desde el inframundo. Hel es hija de Loki y diosa de los muertos. Establece como condición para devolver al dios que todas las cosas de los nueve mundos lo lloren. Frigg y Odín instan a todas las cosas a derramar lágrimas por él, pero Loki bajo la forma de una vieja giganta se escondió en una cueva y no lloró y debido a eso Baldr nunca pudo regresar. Más tarde los dioses descubrirían el papel de Loki en la muerte de Baldr, y le castigarían lo que eventualmente conduce al fin del mundo.

Aunque Frigg debía saber que Baldr estaba condenado, tanto por los sueños proféticos de él como por la capacidad de predecir el futuro que ella tenía, aun así intenta alterar su destino. Aún luego de su muerte ella intentará infructuosamente rescatarlo del inframundo. Según algunas versiones de este relato, el muérdago se convirtió en sagrado para Frigg como resultado de su fracaso en darle a Frigg un juramento.

Vili y Ve
La historia de Frigg y los hermanos de Odín, Vili y Ve, se ha preservado de forma muy breve en la Saga de los Ynglings. En esta historia se relata que en una ocasión Odín había emprendido un largo viaje y no había regresado en mucho tiempo, por lo que los Æsir pensaron que jamás regresaría. Entonces sus hermanos se dividieron sus posesiones pero no lograron acordar sobre Frigg y decidieron compartirla. Sin embargo enseguida apareció Odín y recuperó sus posesiones y su esposa.

Se hace una mención a esta historia en los insultos de Loki a los dioses en Lokasenna, en donde agravia a la diosa acusándola de infidelidad con los hermanos de Odín.

Catedráticos modernos tales como Lee Hollander explican que Lokasenna tenía la intención de ser un texto divertido y las acusaciones que hace Loki en el poema no necesariamente deben ser tomadas como parte de lo aceptado en el folclore de la época en que fue compuesto. Algunos de sus agravios son fáciles de realizar para Loki y difíciles de refutar para los dioses o tal vez no están interesados en ello.

Historia gentis Langobardorum
El historiador longobardo Pablo el Diácono, en su obra Historia gentis Langobardorum describe como la esposa de Odín llamada Frea (Frigg/Freyja) le da a los longobardos su victoria en la guerra contra los vándalos. Es descrita como una esposa que sabe como salirse con la suya aun cuando su esposo piensa que él es quien está a cargo. Los vinnili y los vándalos eran dos tribus en guerra, Odín favorecía a los vándalos y Frea a los vinnili. Luego de una acalorada discusión, Odín prometió que le daría la victoria a la primera tribu que viera la aurora de la mañana al despertarse. Sabiendo Frigg que la cama de Odín se encontraba de tal forma que al levantarse vería primero a los vándalos, mientras su esposo dormía le dijo a las mujeres de los Lombardos que peinaran sus cabellos sobre sus caras de modo que parecieran hombres de largas barbas y giró la cama de modo que viera a las mujeres vinnili. Cuando Odín se despertó se sorprendió al ver a aquellos hombres de largas barbas y preguntó a su esposa que tribu era aquella y de ese modo obtuvieron el nuevo nombre de longobardos. Odín mantuvo su promesa y les otorgó la victoria a los vinnili, ahora conocidos como los lombardos.

Gesta Danorum
Saxo Grammaticus escribió en su Gesta Danorum otro relato sobre Frigg y su disputa con Odín por una estatua de oro y una infidelidad de parte de ella. Sin embargo, la obra de Saxo es extremadamente evemerista y su visión de las deidades paganas es muy tergiversada, siendo la gran mayoría de sus relatos inexistentes en las tradiciones populares.

Similitudes entre Frigg y Freyja

Frigg es la diosa mayor de los Æsir, mientras que Freyja lo es para los Vanir. Se ha debatido la idea de la posibilidad de que tanto Frigg como Freyja sean realmente la misma diosa, avatares una de la otra.

Algunos argumentos están basados en análisis lingüísticos, otros en el hecho de que Freyja era desconocida en el sur de Alemania y en algunas partes ambas diosas eran consideradas las mismas, mientras que en otras zonas eran consideradas deidades diferentes. Existen muchas similitudes entre ambas, las dos poseen capas de plumas de halcón y pueden transformarse en aves, Frigg estaba casada con Odín, mientras que Freyja lo estaba con Óðr, ambas tenían collares mágicos, a una personificación de la tierra como padres, y ambas eran invocadas en los matrimonios y los partos.

También existe el argumento de que Frigg y Freyja son parte de una tríada de diosas, junto a una tercera diosa como Hnoss o Iðunn, asociada con las diferentes edades de una mujer, Freyja como doncella, Frigg como madre y una tercera como mujer anciana.
Las áreas de influencia de Frigg y Freyja no encajan del todo con lo que se ha observado en otras tríadas de diosas, lo que puede indicar que nunca hubo tal tríada o que se trata de una peculiaridad de la cultura del norte de Europea comparada con los pueblos celtas y otros más meridionales.

Finalmente, está el argumento de que Frigg y Freyja son diosas similares de diferentes panteones que fueron primero combinadas en una sola deidad y luego en un período tardío nuevamente separadas. Esto es consistente con el tratamiento teológico que se daba a algunas deidades griegas, romanas y egipcias a finales del período clásico.

Epónimos

Plantas

Frigg era invocada para asistir en los partos y en ellos los escandinavos utilizaban como sedante la planta Galium verum, que era llamado "Hierba de Frigg".

Topónimos
No es muy común encontrar en la toponimia referencias a Frigg, sin embargo en Västergötland, Suecia, hay una zona llamada Friggeråker.

Una carta inglesa del año 936 menciona el nombre de "Frigedun", que significa "Valle de Frigg". Friden, en Derbyshire, Inglaterra, lleva su nombre en honor a la diosa.

A chartered accountancy firm has teamed up with Albion in the Community (AITC) to help support its work across Sussex.
Plus Accounting, which is based at Preston Park House in South Road in Brighton, selected AITC as one of its charity partners for 2017/18.
That means staff will now be encouraged to take part in a range of fundraising events on behalf of AITC as well as volunteering with the charity, which now runs around 60 different projects and programmes throughout Sussex.
AITC is the largest provider of disability football opportunities in the area; runs an array of programmes that encourage young people and their families to adopt healthier lifestyles; works with more than 130 schools; provides free football sessions in some of the most-deprived parts of the south; and has a thriving further education department that is helping hundreds of local people of all ages access nationally-accredited courses and improve their job prospects.
Vicky King, marketing manager at Plus Accounting, said the decision to support AITC was an easy one. She said: "As a firm we like to partner with local charities and we are always looking to be inspired by those charities and the impact that they have on the local community.
"Albion in the Community does some brilliant work inspiring and motivating young people and their families to be physically active and providing opportunities for young people to play football, whatever their ability or background, particularly those that are disadvantaged.
"Partnering with such an active charity enables our team to get involved in a number of fundraising events throughout the year and gives them a chance to be part of volunteering opportunities and to understand the importance of supporting local charities and the positive impact such relationships can have.
Steph Punfield, AITC's community fundraising executive, said: "As a charity we are always incredibly grateful for the support we receive from local businesses and we are delighted that staff at Plus Accounting have chosen us as one of their charity partners.

Sailing to Byzantium is a bright contemporary landscape painting by Jan Gardner. For me I have loved using boats as symbols of a personal journey, it's a way of expressing an emotive poem into a two dimensional vision. I love to paint listening to music, I read and write poetry so this image for me evokes a time of reflection and moving forward into the unknown, a safe passage to the future.

Jan Gardner, artist, is available to buy online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Jan Gardner was born and brought up in North Wales and spent much of her early years wandering the lanes and hills around her home. It was here that the light, space and colours that inhabit her work first became an influence. Drawing on these memories and experiences of special places and her later travels in Europe, Morocco and the U.S.A.; she crafts vivid and atmospheric works. Colours that fly in from emotion and passion, relaying a deep connection with the varied, differing landscapes from which they evolve. Sustained self-critique means Jan is highly articulate in describing the process and act of making, detailed technique and mark-making , and the deeper emotional dimensions of her work. Fascinated by the challenge that each of us sees colour differently, yet each engages with colour emotionally, her engagement with colour is both lens and lynchpin and this nuanced understanding of perception, emotion and association underpins the marks and choices of her process at a deeper level. Jan's commitment to her practice has sustained her career all her life, from her Degree from Winchester School of Art she has worked in Arts in health, teaching in colleges, residencies in schools and galleries and sustaining exhibiting and selling her work across the U.K. and worldwide. She and her young family moved back to Wales in 2001. In 2007 Jan was awarded an Arts Council of Wales research grant which enabled her to explore the source of her palette and the ancient and contemporary manufacture of pure pigment in Milan, Geneva and New York. In 2012 was awarded a project grant from the Arts Council of Wales towards a new body of work for a major touring solo show commencing from Oriel Gallery, Clwyd Theatr Cymru, Mold, Flintshire, north Wales. This major new body of work toured the U.K in 2013- 2014, including venues in Scotland, England, culminating in the tours conclusion in Oriel Ynys Mon, Llangefni. Jan's work is held in private, public and corporate collections in the U.K, mainland Europe and across the world. My creative practice stems from a fascination for the spiritual connection between land, sea and sky, nature in all its contemplative glory. My paintings are an emotional response, a tangible visible form of a feeling. A sense of place through the expression of marks and colour between the real and imagined places, both from the actual and remembered. I am fascinated by combining these through line, colour, texture and shape. I love to work outside for plein air sketches and then to work through sketches and to develop paintings both in the environment but also through memory and imagination back in the studio. My process begins by meditation, the ephemeral quality is essential and this gives me permission to connect with my colours, add the mark-making, some detail to suggest the natural forms, to build the layers, to resonate the memory settled in my mind. The colours are so important to me, they enable me to suggest the life force and energy of the world we are surrounded by, and also the magical echo of the imagination. All of these stages become a process of meditation. Some pieces resolve more quickly, depending on size, some I work on for many weeks. These are not quick fixes, I never know how they will turn out, they belong for a lifetime. Whilst gathering my responses for inspiration I will happily be ensconced in sketching, pencil, watercolour and pastels in the places I find inspiring outside then bringing them back to explore further. Then these all become starting points to develop and imbue the memory. I have a studio in my garden, which extends in the summer months! It is a haven though, cut off from passing life, I and sometimes my cats and wild birds love to spend time there. Thinking, planning, researching, mixing colours, all of these can keep me happily immersed for hours.

Here is what is known: gifts upon gifts cascade down the air without ceasing through the turning days ... there is a vast conversation going on all around us, under our feet and in the surrounding air. The many species of insect and animal life are moving and breathing, eating and excreting, emerging and dying, all part of the web of life which holds us and every being, an immense compass of wordless wisdom, a thousand teachers and guides waiting for our attention.

Dear Friends ~ This story begins sitting around a campfire one spring night, with a friend and her friend whom I only just met. "You know what's funny?" she laughed when she introduced us. "This guy lives in your old apartment! He gets all your junk mail now." What a great coincidence! we mused.
Our chatter meandered into the night—the way fireside conversations tend to go. When we veered toward childhood memories, our new visitor and I realized that we also grew up in the exact same town as one another! At precisely the same time! Attended the very same school!
He told me he moved when he was in late elementary school, to a house about a block away from the school. I had walked a block to that school every day, too. But...my family had moved away from that neighborhood in late elementary school.
"We lived in the brick house, next to the one with the swimming pool," he went on.
My eyes widened. "With a Chinese chestnut and a pear tree in the yard?"
We both smiled—bewildered—when he nodded and said, "And the sump pump in the basement..."
I think about this story often. I'm still incredulous at the fact that a stranger eating s'mores in my backyard—two states away from where we grew up—had lived in the house that my parents sold to his three decades ago. (Not to mention that apartment coincidence, too!) But mostly I marvel over the fact that if the conversation had unfolded differently, we would have never known that we were connected in such a personal way.
"Do you think there is anything not attached by its unbreakable cord to everything else?" Mary Oliver wrote in her book UPSTREAM. Since that night by the fire, I can't help but wonder what other connections lay undiscovered beneath the surface of our everyday interactions with others. And how might we live differently with the realization that they are there? ~Joy

The Oneness of All
Jon Kabat-Zinn | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
What seems to be happening at the moment is never the full story of what is really going on. For the honey bee, it is the honey that is important. But the bee is at the same time nature's vehicle for carrying out cross-pollination of the flowers. Interconnectedness is a fundamental principle of nature. Nothing is isolated. Each event connects with others. Things are constantly unfolding on different levels. It's for us to perceive the warp and woof of the Oneness of All as best we can and learn to follow our own threads through the tapestry of life with authenticity and resolve.

Love means to learn to look at yourself

Without knowing it, from various ills.

We are knee deep in a river
Kabir Helminski | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
We are knee deep in a river, searching for water. We are part of an invisible river, but we are so distracted by outer things and what we imagine they could mean to us that we lose contact with the source of our own Being. When we are caught in desire, in form, in externals, we are pulled out of ourselves into a fantasy world, a desire world. We lose touch with the invisible river, the waters of life, through our identification with unconscious inner processes and with outer demands.

Joy Harjo | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
The earth is leaning sideways
And a song is emerging from the floods
And fires. Urgent tendrils lift toward the sun.
You must be friends with silence to hear.
The songs of the guardians of silence are the most powerful-
They are the most rare.

The Force of Friendship
Rumi | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
What draws Friends together
Does not conform to Laws of Nature.
Form doesn't know about spiritual closeness.
If a grain of barley approaches a grain of wheat,
An ant must be carrying it. A black ant on black felt.
You can't see it, but if grains go toward each other,
It's there.
A hand shifts our birdcages around.
Some are brought closer. Some move apart.
Do not try to reason it out. Be conscious
Of who draws you and who not.
~ Rumi from "The Force of Friendship" in THIS LONGING

Our kinship with all beings
Pema Chodron | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
We think that by protecting ourselves from suffering, we are being kind to ourselves. The truth is we only become more fearful, more hardened and more alienated. We experience ourselves as being separate from the whole. This separateness becomes like a prison for us—a prison that restricts us to our personal hopes and fears, and to caring only for the people nearest to us. Curiously enough, if we primarily try to shield ourselves from discomfort, we suffer. Yet, when we don't close off, when we let our hearts break, we discover our kinship with all beings.

All we can do is to participate
Richard Rohr | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
If the world is a temple, then our enemies are sacred, too. The ability to respect the outsider is probably the litmus test of true seeing. It doesn't even stop with human beings and enemies of the least of the brothers and sisters. It moves to frogs and pansies and weeds. EVERYTHING becomes enchanting with true sight...All we can do is to participate.
~ Richard Rohr from EVERYTHING BELONGS
Everything Belongs
We are not the first
Alice Walker | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
To acknowledge our ancestors means we are aware that we did not make ourselves, that the line stretches all the way back, perhaps to God; or to Gods. We remember them because it is an easy thing to forget: that we are not the first to suffer, rebel, fight, love and die.
~ Alice Walker in HER BLUE BODY EVERYTHING WE KNOW

Your presence
Thich Nhat Hanh | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

Q: The argument type 'BannerAd?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'AdWithView' I upgraded my app to Flutter 2 and made all the things null safe.
After that, I am encountering an error implementing Google mobile ads SDK.
I followed all the documentation and according to that, I am not supposed to get this error although the documentation is not updated.
Here is the code in which I am trying to implement ads.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:provider/provider.dart';
import 'package:book_rent_app_chapter3/model/order.dart';
import 'package:book_rent_app_chapter3/provider/user.dart';
import 'package:google_mobile_ads/google_mobile_ads.dart';

class OrdersScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  OrdersScreen({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<OrdersScreen> createState() => _OrdersScreenState();
}

class _OrdersScreenState extends State<OrdersScreen> {
  BannerAd? _bannerAd;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _bannerAd = BannerAd(
      adUnitId: BannerAd.testAdUnitId,
      request: AdRequest(),
      size: AdSize.banner,
      listener: BannerAdListener(
        onAdLoaded: (Ad ad) {
          print('$BannerAd loaded.');
        },
        onAdFailedToLoad: (Ad ad, LoadAdError error) {
          print('$BannerAd failedToLoad: $error');
        },
        onAdOpened: (Ad ad) => print('$BannerAd onAdOpened.'),
        onAdClosed: (Ad ad) => print('$BannerAd onAdClosed.'),
      ),
    );

    _bannerAd?.load();
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    super.dispose();
    _bannerAd?.dispose();
    _bannerAd = null;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final userProvider = Provider.of<UserProvider>(context);
    return Scaffold(

        leading: IconButton(
            icon: const Icon(Icons.close),
            onPressed: () {

            itemBuilder: (_, index) {
              OrderModel _order = userProvider.orders[index];
              return ListTile(
                leading: Text(
                  "\$${_order.total}",
                  style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 15, color: Colors.black),
                ),
                title: Text(_order.description),
                subtitle: Text(
                    DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(_order.createdAt)
                        .toString()),
                trailing: Text(_order.status,
                    style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 18, color: Colors.black)),
              );
            }),
          Container(
            alignment: Alignment.center,
            child: AdWidget(ad: _bannerAd),
            width: _bannerAd?.size.width.toDouble(),
            height: _bannerAd?.size.height.toDouble(),
          )
        ]
      ),
    );
  }
}

The error I am encountering is in the line
    child: AdWidget(ad: _bannerAd),

and the error is :
The argument type 'BannerAd?' can't be assigned to the parameter type 'AdWithView'.

Although according to the documentation that's how exactly I am supposed to implement it.

A: The problem with your code is simple, the ad is nullable, this means you can't just assign it into a widget ad because it would give you an error if it was null.
Looking at your code, your ad is only ever null before initstate or after dispose method, so you should not have any problems with a null ad during build, if that is the case, you can safely use ! to tell dart that the ad is not null:
child: AdWidget(ad: _bannerAd!),

Decisions Define Destiny
Have you ever noticed that when you hesitate or feel overwhelmed when making a decision, nothing goes right?
But once the decision is made, it seems as though everything aligns?
I had a client who was completely stuck in a job that was slowly eating him alive. He knew that he needed to make a change but he stalled and stalled and stalled.
Until one day, fuelled by a number of things, he took a radical decision to start his own business.
Imagine his surprise when out of the blue, a client who no longer dealt with the organisation for a number of years called him and said: "Do you still work at x?" To which he replied: "Yes but only until the end of the month." The client then said: "Great, because I would really like to work with you but not if you were still working at x."
And just like that, he had his first paying customer!
"Shaping a life of your own design starts with a decision."
Another client was completely bored at work and wanted a new challenge. But she knew the chances of finding another job at her current salary was a stretch. She started by researching companies that she wanted to work for. There was nothing in the organisations that fitted what she wanted to do.
Enter her decision - She decided to create a position that she believed two of the companies she wanted to work for needed and one that she would love doing.
Guess what happened? Yip, the Universe intervened.
A day after our session and her getting clear on what the next steps were a colleague in another department in her organisation approached her and told her he thought his wife needed someone like her.
Very surprised, she asked him what he meant. His response stunned her - his wife was a Director in one of the companies she had decided to target.
She resigned last week to join this company!
So why is this?
Well, its quite simple actually.
Our energy, and the energy within the Universe can only give you what you want when you are clear!!
And by taking decisions we send clear messages!!


I think this will be my official Object of desire session, since April is my birthday month *cough... So here are my April wishlist and i think i need everything! What do you want this month? Any giveaway idea?


February 28, 2019—Park City, UT— After a successful inaugural event last spring, which raised $80,000, Huntsman Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce Pink Park City is coming back for its second run. This ski day to conquer cancer will be held at Park City Mountain's Canyon Village on Saturday, March 23, and 100 percent of the funds raised will benefit vital research for all types of cancer at Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Pink Park City is a celebration of life with a party on and off the slopes for all ages. The all-day event covers Park City Mountain in pink by way of hundreds of skiers in over-the-top costumes, multiple lodge deck parties, giveaways and live music.
Started offering both current FDA-approved CAR-T cell therapies, a new form of immunotherapy. HCI is the first place in the Mountain West to offer these therapies.
Friends, family, and neighbors are invited to come together to participate as a fundraising team, raise funds and ski together in Pink Park City's Rally for Hope Parade. Participants are encouraged to ask their friends and loved ones to support their fundraising efforts – coming together to support those who experience a cancer diagnosis and funding efforts to find the next, new breakthrough that could change the dynamic of cancer research and care.
To register for the event or to donate visit www.pinkparkcity.com.
Huntsman Cancer Foundation's sole purpose is to raise funds to support the mission of Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI): To understand cancer from its beginnings, to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide education about cancer risk, prevention, and care. Huntsman Cancer Foundation is dedicated to ensuring excellence in these endeavors through the development and prudent stewardship of private resources. All HCI fundraising initiatives happen through Huntsman Cancer Foundation, which is a public, functionally integrated, Type 3 501 (c)(3).


Disney was in a hurry to obtain antitrust approval because it is involved in bidding war with Comcast for the 21CF assets. Indeed, Disney upped its offer on June 20th because Comcast had started a bidding war for the 21CF assets on June 13th. Comcast has its own antitrust issues with its acquisition, but it was hoping to be on a level playing field with Disney in terms of the antitrust reviews at the DOJ. Indeed, Comcast said as much when it made its bid as it indicated that it had already provided documents and information to the DOJ in response to its civil investigative demand regarding the acquisition of 21CF assets.
Comcast was banking on the DOJ conducting a long drawn out second request investigation for Disney's deal. But, rather than conducting a lengthy review of the Disney/21CF deal, the DOJ entered into a quick settlement agreement. This was surprising because the Disney/21CF deal raised a number of horizontal and vertical issues including increasing the size of its motion picture business, content library and cable programming, which would increase its bargaining leverage in negotiations with movie theatres and TV programmers on licensing fees, Multichannel programing distributors (MVPDs) and virtual MVPDs over affiliate fees for its channels, and video streaming services over licensing fees. Moreover, Disney is taking control of Hulu and launching a number of subscription streaming businesses with the intent on foreclosing its content from rivals such as Netflix. It could be that none of these issues amount to actual antitrust problems, but certainly they warrant some investigation.
Despite all of these other issues, the DOJ quickly focused on the overlap in cable sports programming. The DOJ said in its Press Release that "to streamline agency clearance, Disney agreed to divest the 22 RSNs rather than continue with the Antitrust Division's ongoing merger investigation." Anyone who has visited Disney World knows the value of fast passes. Disney understands the value of time so it used a cooperative approach to get the greenlight for what appears to be the largest divestiture in history without an upfront buyer in record time.
Understanding that the DOJ's major concern was the overlap in cable sports programming, Disney decided not to challenge that contention or negotiate a lesser divestiture, which would have lengthened the second request investigation many more months. Disney likely could have argued that ESPN channels and local RSNs really do not compete head to head at all. ESPN has market power as do the local RSNs to obtain increases in affiliate fees already. Moreover, watching ESPN is no substitute for watching your home town team on the local RSN. Disney, however, gave up on those arguments and agreed to a hefty structural remedy that took the issue off the table.
The DOJ alleged that without the divestiture the acquisition would likely result in higher prices for cable sports programming licensed to MVPDs in each of the local markets that the RSNs serve. As the DOJ explained, Disney (ESPN properties) and 21CF's (RSNs) cable sports programming competed head to head. The DOJ alleged that the ESPN properties and the 21CF's RSNs compete to sell cable sports programming to MVPDs in various local markets across the United States. Because of this competition, the complaint alleges that the proposed acquisition would likely result in MVPDs paying higher prices for cable sports programming in those local markets.
Interestingly, the DOJ did not allege that Disney or 21CF had "must have" programming. Arguably, ESPN channels and RSNs would be considered "must have" programming for MVPDs and VMVPDs. It could be that given Judge Leon's Opinion in AT&T/Time Warner that the DOJ has given up on being able to prove that certain programming is "must have".
Another interesting point is that the DOJ did not require an upfront buyer. There could be good reasons for why no upfront buyer was necessary. Upfront buyers are usually required when the DOJ is not sure that any appropriate buyers exist or if all of the assets need to be divested to one buyer. Here, there are numerous buyers and the DOJ decided that the RSNs can be sold to multiple buyers not to a single buyer. In that scenario, Comcast could be a buyer for some RSNs located in geographic areas where it is not the incumbent cable provider; AT&T and Charter have very little in the RSN space and may want to buy other properties to gain a larger footprint; Discovery has international sports rights so they may be interested in some RSNs; Liberty Media has owned RSNs in the past; Youtube, Facebook, and Amazon may want to dip their toes into the RSN space; and Sinclair, which has a strong local presence in many markets and currently owns the Tennis Channel could be interested in some of the RSNs.
The DOJ's quick settlement demonstrates that the DOJ is willing to streamline investigations if merging parties propose substantial structural fixes upfront. The settlement and Mr. Delrahim's editorial reminds merging parties that they control the timing and length of merger investigations. Merging parties control how fast they file their HSR submissions and when they comply with the DOJ's second requests. Some merging parties take their time to comply, hold back submission of documents and information and delay offering any real significant divestitures until exhausting all of their economic arguments. While the government gets a lot of blame for long antitrust reviews, merging parties are always in control of the timing. This settlement agreement also demonstrates that the DOJ is willing to work with merging parties that are willing to cooperate in negotiating a complete solution to a competition concern. Consistent with its recent enforcement action in Bayer/Monsanto, the DOJ is willing to approve deals with significant divestitures. Here, the divestitures are worth approximately $20-23 billion—more than double the size of the Bayer divestiture. Finally, the settlement shows that the DOJ is willing to approve settlements without upfront buyers in situations where multiple buyers can acquire the divested assets, a single buyer is not necessary, and a number of potential buyers exist.

Word has been leaking all over the RE.net (I wonder how that happened) that I've been working with Jim Marks to organize a series of seminars where we aim to educate real estate professionals on how they can improve their internet marketing. Our first event is only two weeks away in Los Angeles and we're going to quickly follow that up with two more events in Southern California.
I like to think of my target-market as "tech-interested" agents and brokers as oppose to agents that are already "tech-savvy." And because much of the material we will cover is probably a bit too basic for many of the people reading this blog, I've been doing most of my outreach to date through other mediums (such as e-blasts through brokerages) where I am more likely to reach local real estate professionals who would be most likely to sign up for one of our courses!
Just yesterday, Jim picked up our REALZ coins!
These are two-inch, heavy, antique brass coins. When you pick one up, they feel valuable and that is because they ARE!
Each coin is going to be worth $44 to be spent on our event sponsors (to be names shortly!).
Essentially, I hate asking for favors of people, and rather than beg the bloggers of the RE.net to do promotion for me, my idea is to reward those who are able to attract a relevant crowd of real estate professionals!
So here's the deal… Registering for one of our events is a two step process… Step 1 is filling in your contact information and step 2 is paying. Anyone who completes step 1 (regardless if they pay) will be emailed a unique URL that they can use to help spread the word.
If you're up for helping us spread the word then for ever person who signs up after clicking on your unique link, we'll give you one coin at the event that can be spent on any of the event sponsors.
The REALZ coins are obviously geared toward encouraging real estate agents to tell other agents because the sponsors we have on board by-and-large serve the agent community.
However, my number one concern (and only concern at this point considering how easy it has been to get sponsorship), is filling the seats up for the first event.
For the first event we reserved a room for 100 people, and I'm completely committed to filling the room up!
However, despite my overall optimism, my stress level will be considerably lower (and I'll start to get a full night sleep again!) if I can get a packed house at this first event!
For that reason, if you're a vendor, mortgage broker, or other industry insider who is interested in helping us fill up the seats by blogging, emailing or simply spreading the word in any way you see fit, I want to make sure you get a massive benefit!
I can't make any promises about paying out cash per person you can help me get registered, but I can promise that I'll make sure you feel well-rewarded! And if you need something more specific than that to get your promotional wheels spinning, contact me and I'll happily work something out on a case-by-case basis.
So, now that I've talked about the promotional angle, what is a 4Realz Education all about? And why am I convinced we're launching the right course at the right time?
As always, if you have any questions about the event, please don't hesitate to contact me! And, even if you don't plan to attend, please consider signing up for the first part of the registration in order to get your unique code that will give you credit for spreading the word about this valuable educational opportunity for real estate professionals!
Just dropping you a quick note here. Glad to see you're tapping into the power of the wisdom of the crowds.
The book I'm currently writing / actually orchestrating via a wiki style collaborative effort with input from leading business modelers and marketing gurus will contain an entire section on how realtors will soon be able to harness the untapped power of merging Multiple Listing (MLS) with social computing .. which promises to revolutionize how home buyers not only buy homes, but how Realtors will be able to step in sync with them long before they enter into the buying process … optimize the lifetime value of a customer concept long after they buy, and complete the cycle … by funneling word of mouth buyers / referrals back to the originating realtor long after the initial transaction.
Do you a link to the wiki for those of us who are interested in learning more?
Next Next post: A HUGE congrats to Rudy and Sarah!

One cannot divorce context and text. Well you can, but you should not.
Verse 7, "...only he who now lets, will let, till he be taken out of the way." must remain in the context of the preceding concepts. Every one of these preachers I hear talk about this verse do this, remove the context and convey a concept which does not and cannot exist.
Paul says the DOTL cannot come before the man of sin is revealed. The Coming and the Gathering and the DOTL are the same thing, so then the beast will rise and be revealed before Jesus comes to gather us to Him.
Verse 7, "...only he who now lets, will let, till he be taken out of the way." is an understandable but still incorrect rendering of the Greek.
Literally from the Greek this portion of text says, "...hold fast until he emerges from the middle."
Look it up, you'll see.
