The root cause is a prospectus exemption gap in Ontario. Between the private issuer exemption and the accredited investor exemption, there are not many prospectus exemptions for private or public companies to raise capital in Ontario. The OM exemption will meet that need and have a positive effect on Ontario's economic growth, widen the market opportunities for issuers and dealers across Canada, and most importantly, improve the investment options for Ontario investors. While we are not yet at our goal, it is finally in sight.
The EMDA believes it is more difficult to raise capital in Ontario because the province has not adopted any form of offering memorandum exemption. During the EMDA consultation process, we repeatedly heard from issuers and dealers about decisions to leave Ontario for western Canada to take advantage of the superior capital raising opportunities offered under the offering memorandum. We believe this harms Ontario's capital markets and diverts capital raising to other provinces and territories of Canada and has a deleterious impact on investment options for investors.
should develop a nationalized and harmonized OM exemption.

Where FA reliever market stands as 2019 looms
LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 26: Craig Kimbrel #46 of the Boston Red Sox prepares to deliver the pitch during the ninth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Three of the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium on October 26, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

Last year's free-agent market was notable for its deliberate pace, though relief pitchers were the one group that not only signed quickly, but landed fruitful contracts in the process.
This year, there has been plenty of movement in free agency, with starting pitchers seizing opportunities with aggressive teams looking to bolster their rotations.
The relief market, on the other hand, has been slow to develop. Perhaps last winter's deals given to Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw (three years, $27 million each), Tommy Hunter (two years, $18 million), Addison Reed (two years, $16.75 million), Anthony Swarzak (two years, $14 million) and Greg Holland (one year, $14 million) have caused teams to take a step back, though with plenty of big-name relievers available this winter, there figures to be a flurry of activity at some point soon.
Here's a look at where the relief market stands:
Who will be the next reliever to sign?
Andrew Miller signed a two-year deal with a vesting option with the Cardinals, taking a notable name off the market.
When healthy, Miller is the most dominant of the non-Craig Kimbrel group, but the left-hander appeared in only 37 games last season, bringing his health into question. Miller (who turns 34 in May) is coming off a four-year, $36 million contract he signed with the Yankees before the 2015 season.
Where will Kimbrel land?
The All-Star closer is reportedly seeking a six-year deal worth $100 million, which would shatter Albertin Chapman's relief record deal of $86 million. Few inside the industry believe Kimbrel -- who struggled with his command during the postseason -- will find those numbers anywhere, but the right-hander should be able to land a four- or five-year deal in the $16 million-$17 million range annually. That would put him in the company of Wade Davis ($17.33 million), Chapman ($17.2 million) and Kenley Jansen ($16 million) for the highest average annual value of any closer in history.
Among the teams believed to be interested in Kimbrel are the Phillies and Braves, and while the Red Sox have suggested they won't sign Kimbrel to a big-money deal, Boston could wait out the market and make a late play to bring its closer back.
If not Kimbrel, who would close for the Red Sox?
Kimbrel wouldn't be the only reliever from the World Series champs to leave town, as Joe Kelly -- who, unlike Kimbrel, had a spectacular postseason -- bolted to Los Angeles after scoring a three-year, $25 million pact from the Dodgers.
• Hot Stove Tracker
Boston could look to the glut of relievers on the free-agent market to replace Kimbrel, possibly signing two of the other top relief arms for the same money Kimbrel gets elsewhere. With Miller apparently headed to St. Louis, Zach Britton, Player Page for David Robertson and Adam Ottavino are among the options, so bringing in two of them would not only give the Red Sox a pair of closing options, but also help replace the hole left by Kelly's departure.
Who will get the second-biggest deal after Kimbrel?
Jeurys Familia signed with the Mets for three years and $30 million, while Kelly received $25 million over the same term from the Dodgers. Britton, Robertson and Ottavino are all expected to sign deals in that same range, though all come with questions involving age, injury history or both.
Robertson (who turns 34 in April) and Ottavino (who turned 33 in November) are looking for deals that will take them well into their mid-30s. Britton turns 31 on Saturday, but he's less than a year from a ruptured Achilles tendon that cost him the first 2 1/2 months of a 2018 season filled with inconsistency. Any of these pitchers have the ability to be dominant, though it's no certainty.
Speaking of Achilles, how will Joe Smith's injury impact the market?
Smith is expected to miss the first half of the 2019 season after undergoing surgery for a torn left Achilles, an injury he sustained last week while working out. The loss of Smith, who held hitters to a .207 average and .645 OPS last season, is notable for the Astros, though general manager Jeff Luhnow said Thursday he doesn't believe his team must now look at any of the big relief arms on the free-agent market.
• Free-agent rumors
"Losing Joe is a blow, but I don't think it requires us to go out and get another late-inning reliever," Luhnow said. "We're going to have enough good arms in the bullpen to do what we need to do."
Houston is more likely to continue its pursuit of a starting pitcher, taking a mix-and-match approach to replace Smith until he's ready to return.
Aside from the aforementioned relievers, who else is still out there?
Other established veterans still available on the free-agent market include Kelvin Herrera, Shawn Kelley, Brad Brach, Bud Norris, Sergio Romo, Cody Allen and Justin Wilson. In all, there are more than 60 unsigned relievers available via free agency.

Pteroylglutamic acid (PGA, folic acid) plays an important role in many biological reactions, and PGA deficiency may lead to death of mammalian embryos. Nelson and Evans1 demonstrated reproductive failure in rats kept on a PGA-deficient diet containing succinylsulfathiazole and a crude PGA antagonist. Thiersch and Philips2 induced fetal death in rodents kept on an adequate diet by administration of aminopterin (4-amino-pteroylglutamic acid), a powerful PGA antagonist. Later Giroud and Lefebvres-Boisselot3 and Nelson, Asling, and Evans4 produced multiple congenital abnormalities by maternal PGA deficiencies during gestation.


Deadly Medicine - A Common Surgery for Women and the Cancer It Leaves Behind is The Wall Street Journal's latest eBook; a gripping human-interest account of public trust and the fallibility of modern medicine, drawn from the Journal's ongoing coverage.
It profiles Dr. Amy Reed who had surgery to remove uterine fibroids, involving a procedure known as power morcellation. Only after, Dr. Reed learned that this procedure had worsened her prognosis by spreading a cancer she and her doctors didn't know she had. She's not alone; since the 1990s, thousands of women have undergone a surgical procedure that may have risked their lives.
This personal experience inspired Dr. Reed to become a vocal critic of power morcellators and the doctors who used them, dividing the medical community. Now doctors and companies are waiting for more-permanent guidance from the FDA.
From "A Startling Diagnosis" to "A Furious Debate," the chapters of the eBook provide new insights into why and how women were put at risk and new details about the ordeal of one woman who has become the face of its potential deadly consequences.
The new eBook is a narrative version of investigative reports filed by WSJ's Jennifer Levitz and Jon Kamp. It can be downloaded here.
And for a quick explainer on the topic, WSJ's Jason Bellini has #TheShortAnswer: Uterine Fibroid Procedure Risks Spreading Cancer.

Girls youth football team shows surge in interest in women's game
Spaces are still available ahead of the new season

Huncoat United FC girls team
Don't miss out - sign up for our free daily newsletter today
A youth football team which is going from 'strength to strength' is now on the hunt for new players following its recent success.
Huncoat United FC finally achieved their long-term ambition in 2017 by setting up the club's very first girls-only team.
Over the last two years the increasing popularity of women's football and the recent World Cup has allowed club bosses to capitalise and create extra girls teams.
Around 40 girls now train every week across the under 8/9s, under 11s and under 12s and a new under 7s team has been formed ahead of the 2019/20 season.
Adam Lee, who manages the under 12s team and is the club's welfare officer, said: "It has surprised me how fast it has grown.
"The Women's World Cup has helped boost the numbers and it is fantastic to see girls enjoying a sport and getting involved in a team sport.
"The under 12s are the original under 10s team that we started with.
"We have done quite a lot of recruitment drives, not just for players but coaches as well, and we are focusing on growing the club.
"We have managed to keep training going through the summer and two of our teams recently played in a summer league.
"The World Cup is one of the reasons we have kept going through the summer. I was giving the girls folders with players' stats and profiles and they went down really well."
Fan launches new book celebrating 50 years of modern Accrington Stanley
Adam, whose father Steven co-founded the club in 1984, said they have started to form links with local schools, including Peel Park and Huncoat Primary.
The club has also announced a partnership with Little Lions Coaching Clinic who will take on their Mini League sessions for boys and girls, aged three to six, every Saturday morning at their Accrington hub.

With the new season in the East Lancashire Football Alliance set to start on September 8, Adam said they are still on the lookout for new members.
He said: "We are looking to recruit more players, especially in the under 12s group.
"It's a difficult time, with many of them transitioning from primary to secondary school, so naturally a few players are going to drop off."

When founded the team were placed in the 9th division of the Birmingham AFA and over the 13 years the team have had their ups and their down.
Now in division 6 the team are looking to improve on recent years and are seeking promotion into higher leagues.
BFC Networks have provided the team with a new away stripe which is used every other week depending on the away teams colours. Birmingham Citadel are required to change their kit during home games instead of away games allowing the traveling team to use their regular kit.
The football season started on the Saturday 3rd September with a home game winning 4-0, exactly the win the team required and wanted keeping a clean sheet. However the 2nd game of the season away at Anchor Rovers the team lost 2-1.

How MINDBODY Helps Saya Barkdoll Manage Ohana Wellness
MINDBODY VIDEO
Share this episode:
Saya Barkdoll was 15 years old when she knew what career she would have after seeing her mother, who was terminal, be treated by a massage therapist.
"Hospice sent a massage therapist to work with her," Saya said. "It was the first time that we saw light in her eyes. That's when I really understood that there was something so incredible about the power of touch."
How do you know if massage is the right career?
Now, eighteen years later, Saya is the founder of Ohana Wellness, a wellness clinic in Bethesda, Maryland. Ohana's core offerings include massage, reiki, cranio sacral therapy, acupuncture and reflexology, among other alternative medicine practices, but Ohana also offers its customers something else: the chance to relax, heal and reflect on their lives, something Saya feels is much needed in the Washington, DC, area where her business is located.
"We're right outside of DC, and the energy level of DC can be really intense at times," Saya explained. "We see really high politicians and people who need to come somewhere and remove themselves from the stresses of their lives, and we're able to provide that."
Massage in Washington DC: "We're right where we need to be."
Like many wellness business owners, Saya focuses on healing her customers, and to do that, she needs a powerful, massage therapy software to help her run her business. For that, Saya uses MINDBODY.
With massage software, Saya knows that her customers' data is safe, allowing them to book services online—freeing up Saya and her team to focus on treating them, rather than admin work. And the focus on treatment shows in Ohana's business performance. The wellness studio has consistently grown year over year, both in sales and in online bookings.
"I know MINDBODY is safe."
Beyond knowing that MINDBODY is safe, Saya knows that when she needs support or has questions about her software that MINDBODY's 24/7 support team and robust support center can give her answers whenever she needs them.
"Ohana means family, and I feel like MINDBODY is like a family environment," Saya said. "I appreciate that. I'm so happy to have a community that I'm part of."
Visits to Ohana sales grew 61% year-over-year in May 2018
Ohana isn't just a place where people go to be helped and healed—it's a workplace for Saya's staff of practitioners, all of whom love their jobs and look forward to coming to work.
With MINDBODY, Saya and her team can all access their schedules, and their clients can book with each of them 24/7, allowing them to focus on treating their customers, rather than scheduling them. As a result, visits to Ohana have consistently improved year over year—including a growth of 61% year-over-year in May 2018.
Getting more customers in her studio helps Saya meet her ultimate goal as a massage therapist: bringing more love into the life of her patients.
"I often finish my sessions with my hands on my customers, just literally sending them love," Saya said. "I think love is how we'll change the world."

Fishing one day in the kayak, Kevin ran across this big round buoy bobbing along with the tide, so he strapped it down next to the 12 lb. sockeye that was for dinner, and paddled home.
Some time later he was looking at the buoy, which is a super smooth, black rubber ball/sphere - and he saw a perfect form to prove a point about the strength and design/build possibilities of Hemp Adobe.
So of course he did what he would do, he spread mud all over it.
Actually just a couple layers of hemp mesh and our mix yielded some pretty incredible results. When at scale, you still wouldn't need rebar. If you do happen to need reinforcements - we'd use bamboo or other similar plants.
All no foam gnomes roam to this dome home. ;) Check out the video! Thanks!

Q: How do I search a term with space to find exact/similar results I have a list of products
CREATE TABLE products (
id int,
description varchar(1000)
);

I want to search the description with this term cool black shirt. If any of these words appear in the description, I want it to show in the results. I also want it to be sorted by the how well it was matched from the search term. I am unsure how to do this.
The first challenge I am having is how can I split the term with spaces to create the LIKE bit. I am only given the string cool black shirt. I can't add each word manually. Needs to be automatic.
The second challenge I face is how do I sort the results by how well it matched the original term.
SELECT * from products
WHERE description LIKE 'cool black shirt'

When I wrote pixie, I was aware of darktable. It looked like a neat application with potential to be pretty much what I was looking for, although it also looked complicated, mainly due to terminology like "darkroom" and "lighttable", which was a bit off-putting to me and made me feel like the application was meant for photo professionals and probably wouldn't work well with the ideals of a techie with some purist views on how to manage files and keep my filesystems clean.
Basically I didn't want to give the application a proper chance and then rationalized the decision after I made it. I'm sure psychologists have a term for this behavior. I try to be aware of these cases and not to fall in the trap, but this time I was very aware of it and still proceeded, but I think I had a reasonable excuse. I wanted an app that behaves exactly how I like, I wanted to play with angularjs, it seemed like a fun learning exercise to implement a full-stack program backed by a Go api server and an angularjs interface, with some keybind features and vim-like navigation sprinkled on top.
Pixie ended up working, but I got fed up with some angularjs issues, slow js performance and a list of to-do's i would need to address before i would consider pixie feature complete, so only as of a few days ago I started giving darktable the chance it had deserved from the beginning.
As it turns out, darktable is actually a fantastic application, and despite some imperfections, the difference is clear enough for me to abandon pixie.
It has pretty extensive key binding options, and even provides a lua api so you can hook in your own plugins. People are working on a bunch of scripts already.
I did notice some bugs (including a few crashes), but there's always a few developers and community members active, on IRC and the bug tracker, so it's pretty active project and I'm confident/hopeful my issues will be resolved soon.
I also have a few more ideas for features that would make it closer to my ideals, but as it stands, darktable is already a great application and I'm happy I can deprecate pixie at this point. I even wrote a script that automatically does all tag assignments in darktable based on the pixie information in tmsu, to make the transition friction free.

I am using a class (AppData) to hold settings (the example shows just one at present), and using the App Delegate to create an instance of AppData when the app loads, and store it when the app terminates.  I am conforming (I think) to the NSCoding protocol
The app stores the file in the Documents directory OK, and checking the file structure seems to hold the data I would expect.  However when the file is loaded in the unarchiver returns the error

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException', reason: *** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver decodeObjectForKey:]: unarchiver has finished; cannot decode anything more'

I have been wrestling with this one for a while now, so if anyone can see the problem I'd be very grateful.
Code:
App Delegate:
interface:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "AppData.h"
#import "Constants.h"

@interface iLeanAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
    AppData *appData;
    UIWindow *window;
    UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) AppData *appData;

@end

implementation:
#import "iLeanAppDelegate.h"

@implementation iLeanAppDelegate

@synthesize window;
@synthesize tabBarController;
@synthesize appData;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

    appData = [[AppData alloc] init];
    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:[AppData dataFilePath]]) {         //If previous settings have been found retrieve and initialise
        NSData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[AppData dataFilePath]];
        NSKeyedUnarchiver *unarchiver = [[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] initForReadingWithData:data];
        [unarchiver finishDecoding];
    appData = [unarchiver decodeObjectForKey:kDataKey];
        [unarchiver finishDecoding];

    [unarchiver release];
    [data release];
}

// Add the tab bar controller's current view as a subview of the window
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
}

-(void)applicationWillTerminate:(NSNotification *)notification {
    NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
    NSKeyedArchiver *archiver = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData:data];
    [archiver encodeObject:appData forKey:kDataKey];
    [archiver finishEncoding];
    BOOL success = [data writeToFile:[AppData dataFilePath] atomically:YES];
    if (success)
        NSLog(@"OK");
    else
        NSLog(@"Problem here");
    [archiver release];
    [data release];

}

- (void)dealloc {
    [tabBarController release];
    [window release];
[appData release];
    [super dealloc];
}

@end

AppData class:
Interface:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "Constants.h"

@interface AppData : NSObject <NSCoding, NSCopying> {

    BOOL audioAlert;        //YES = audio alerts are on, NO = audio alerts are off
}

+(NSString *)dataFilePath;

@property(nonatomic, assign) BOOL audioAlert;

@end

Implementation:
#import "AppData.h"

@implementation AppData

@synthesize audioAlert;

+(NSString *)dataFilePath {
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    return [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:kSettingsFilename];
}

#pragma mark NSCoding

-(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder {

    [encoder encodeBool:audioAlert forKey:kSettingsKey];
}

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        self.audioAlert = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:kSettingsKey];
    }

    return self;
}

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark NSCopying

-(id)copyWithZone:(NSZone *)zone {
    AppData *copy = [[[self class] allocWithZone: zone] init];
//Will do this once coding works
    return copy;
}

@end

Finally constants.h
//This file contains all the application constants
#define kSettingsFilename   @"archive"  //Filename where all application settings are stored

#define kSettingsKey        @"settingsKey"      //Key name
#define kDataKey            @"data"

A: Just as the error message states, you are calling finishDecoding before you have finished decoding. And then you call it again:
[unarchiver finishDecoding];
appData = [unarchiver decodeObjectForKey:kDataKey];
[unarchiver finishDecoding];

That cannot work.
That said, your code is more complicated than it needs to be. Why not this:
// Encoding:
NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:appData];

// Decoding:
appData = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];

Protective liquid enables oral insulin delivery in rats
Researchers developed a way to package insulin into pills that lowered blood sugar safely and for an extended time in rats.
The approach could lead to development of an oral insulin option, which would make it easier for people with diabetes to maintain their blood sugar levels.
CAGE packaged in elongated capsules for oral administration to rats. The capsules are 2.7 mm in diameter and 8.4 mm long when closed. Mitragotri lab, Harvard University, PNAS
More than 30 million people in the United States live with diabetes, a disease in which the body has trouble managing and using blood glucose, the sugar that serves as the body's fuel. Tens of millions more live with prediabetes, a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered diabetes. When blood sugar isn't controlled for long periods of time, it can cause a range of health problems, including nerve damage and heart or kidney disease.
People with diabetes must actively monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Many need injections of insulin, a hormone that helps the body process glucose, several times a day to keep their blood sugar levels under control. But it can be difficult and painful to keep up with insulin injections. An oral form of insulin would drastically ease the difficulty of maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.
Insulin runs into many obstacles when taken by mouth. First, acid in the stomach can degrade it. Second, any insulin that reaches the small intestine from the stomach can be chopped up by the enzymes that help break down food. Finally, insulin needs to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the cells that line the small intestine.
A research team led by Dr. Samir Mitragotri of Harvard University has been exploring the uses of an ionic liquid called CAGE. Ionic liquids contain both positively and negatively charged molecules. CAGE is made from two non-toxic compounds, choline and geranate. In previous work, the team showed that CAGE could be used to deliver antibiotics and insulin through the skin of rats.
In their latest study, the team tested whether CAGE could protect insulin from degradation by the digestive system and help it through the intestinal lining. The research was funded in part by NIH's National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on July 10, 2018.
The researchers first tested whether their insulin-CAGE solution was stable. The structure and function of insulin remained intact in CAGE for 2 months at room temperature and at least 4 months when refrigerated.
When injected directly into the small intestines of non-diabetic rats, the solution quickly lowered blood sugar levels by up to 65%. Insulin-CAGE delivered through the small intestine lasted longer in the bloodstream than insulin injected under the skin.
The researchers next packaged insulin-CAGE into enterically coated capsules. Enteric coatings are resistant to stomach acid but dissolve when they reach the small intestine. When given by mouth to rats, the capsules caused a slow and steady drop in blood sugar, by about half over 10 hours. This drop was smoother and longer lasting than that caused by injection. Samples taken from the intestinal walls after administration showed no damage caused by the insulin-CAGE solution.
"Once ingested, insulin must navigate a challenging obstacle course before it can effectively be absorbed into the bloodstream," Mitragotri says. "Our approach is like a Swiss Army knife, where one pill has tools for addressing each of the obstacles that are encountered."
The researchers are now planning studies with diabetic animals to gauge the long-term safety and effectiveness of oral insulin-CAGE. They hope to eventually test the approach in a human clinical trial.

This redeveloped brownfield site was once used by a cable manufacturing company. A significant amount of remediation was needed to address contamination from copper. The site is located near an older single-family residential neighbourhood near downtown Guelph and a local park. The 3.2 hectare development, completed in 2001, included 105 condominium townhouses and 22 semi-detached units.
Neighbours expressed concerns regarding the site clean-up, the density of the development and traffic impacts. However, the developer began public consultations early through open information meetings, and then addressed the concerns that were raised.
In this 2001 project, a 0.8 hectare former parking lot in downtown Toronto was redeveloped into a residential neighbourhood. This project is a good example of urban intensification, as it is a complex of 74 stacked townhouses and 119 condominium apartments, with an attractive courtyard. These new homes added diversity to a community that had previously been a mix of industrial and commercial businesses. Brownfield remediation was necessary because contaminants had leached into the area from a nearby scrap yard.
This new community is close to the centre of downtown Toronto, transit, entertainment, shopping, restaurants and the financial district, as well as to a number of parks.
Wellington Square was a severely contaminated site with a long and diverse industrial history that included a brewery, steam saw mill, rail depot and headstone manufacturer. Most of the contamination was from a foundry that operated for many years and left behind heavy metals and hydrocarbons. The site is located in the downtown core of the Galt community in Cambridge, close to public transportation, shopping and facilities for education, recreation and culture.
Completed in 2003, this 2-hectare area is now the site of 82 townhouses that have contributed to the rejuvenation of this downtown area. These homes replaced a derelict and under-used brownfield site. The development increased the population in the area, providing a market for local businesses.

Mortlach Church
Author - Fraser
Mortlach Kirk
The Church of Mortlach is one of the most ancient Christian sites in the district between the rivers Dee and Spey. A monastery was established here by St. Moluag (or St Moloch) of Lismore whom St. Comgall the Great of Bangor in the Ards of Ulster dispatched on a mission to Pictland in 562 AD. Mortlach, the earliest bishopric in Scotland is claimed to be the oldest Church in Scotland still used for public worship.
In 1010 AD King Malcolm Canmore II, in fulfilment of a vow added three spears' length to the Church after obtaining his decisive victory over the Danes. In that same year Malcolm II also created the Bishopric of Mortlach which was the seat of the Bishop till about 1225 AD when during the time of Nectan, the fourth Bishop, the see was transferred to Aberdeen. In 1157 Bishop Edward held all the property at Mortlach including "the town and Monastery of the same" – which means that there had been a school or seminary at Mortlach for training missionaries for the early Christian Church.
Mortlach Church has undergone extensive renovations and alterations in 1811, 1874/76, and 1930/31, and is Grade A listed. Traditional access was somewhat restrictive with a set of steps leading from the main road. However, following successful fundraising, we now have a flat route/disabled access from the car park in place making our church building much more accessible to all. In 1966/7 Mortlach was linked with the Cabrach Church and also united with Glenrinnes Church. The union between Mortlach and Cabrach took place in 1982. The Cabrach Church has since been sold and is now in private ownership.
Normal Sunday worship is 10:30 and we also have several special services during the year including Mothering Sunday, Harvest Thanksgiving, and a Family Service during Advent. Communion is celebrated the last Sunday in June, first Sunday in November, and we recently introduced an afternoon service on Communion Sundays in the Memorial Hall to increase accessibility to those in the community who are less able to attend church.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and fellowship are shared in the Church after normal Sunday worship.
Since the Covid Crisis, we have also opted to increase our online accessibility, and continue to stream our services on our Facebook page. Feel free to follow our Facebook Page named "Mortlach Kirk" and receive notifications when we post new content.
Guild: Our Guild members are an enthusiastic group who hold regular meetings, including social outings/events such as coffee mornings, Burn's Supper, Christmas Party, and who continuously play a supportive role in our Church. Their most recent achievements include the donation of a new stained glass window in the church representing St Moluag, St Ninian and St Columba.
Social Activities & Fundraising: This group are continuously arranging a variety of fundraising and social events and have contributed significantly to our finances over recent years. Events have included various concerts/music events in the church, Soup & Sweets, Cream Teas, Coffee & Buttery Mornings, Flower Festivals, Fashion Shows, and Quiz Nights.
For the past few years a handful of keen walkers from Mortlach have joined with other local Churches to raise funds for Christian Aid by taking part in a sponsored walk.
We have collection tubs in the Church supporting the Leprosy Mission and these are available for members of the congregation to take away with them with 100% of donations going to this good cause
Car Rota: We have a group of volunteers who offer a lift to Church for those who wish some assistance.
Our Minister's name is Eddie Enslin. Together with his wife Carlien, their Collie-dog Levi and Cat Liquorice, they live at Mortlach Manse in Church Street.

What's so special about Patrick Swayze
In a world that routinely abandons genuinely critical thought in favour of populist diversion, it is easy to overlook the finer distinctions that identify the shape beneath what looks like an amorphous blob…
Patrick Swayze's ballet dancing career was finished early, cut short by injury, but he never stopped being a ballet dancer. That is what he brought to the screen, in a broadly varied career spanning three decades. That is what is so special about him, although it has never been adequately recognised, despite the media blitz and public outpouring of tributes that followed his death, from pancreatic cancer, on September 14. News of Swayze's death featured on the covers of newspapers and magazines; prime-time broadcasting lamented his passing and celebrated his life. Fans across the globe mourned and sought consolation from a condoling media.
Again and again, we were reminded that "the star of Dirty Dancing" was dead. When more labels were needed, the choice was abundant: dancer, actor, fighter, tough guy, cowboy, hero and loving husband. Now, "dancer" is a generic term – like singer or musician or performer – that tells us very little. In a world that routinely abandons genuinely critical thought in favour of populist diversion, it is easy to overlook the finer distinctions that identify the shape beneath what looks like an amorphous blob. In terms of dance training, Swayze was the equivalent of a concert pianist, to use an example from a fertile field littered with careers that wilted even before the seed sprouted. If you can ripple your fingers through the classical piano repertoire, you are a pretty good piano player even if you never perform another concert after your graduation from a conservatorium. Patrick Swayze had every intention of a professional ballet career and even though it didn't work out that way, he carried ballet in his body and in his heart until the day he died.
Swayze's unusual ability to carry a chick-flick, a biff-flick and a spliff-flick, gained him a broad fandom. Judging by Internet tributes, he touched many lives, often in their formative years. In Dirty Dancing (1987), his strong golden body and smooth, predatory dance moves strutted their way into the romantic fantasies of very young women. In Point Break (1991), his strong golden body, skydiving and surfing skills infiltrated the anti-social dreams of adolescent boys and the film became something of a stoner cult classic. In Road House (1989), his strong golden body, starring all four limbs and lustrous mane, flattened an entire town of bad guys while alluding to the fact that tai chi can make you invincible, which would have gone unnoticed by the film's 99% male fan base. In Ghost (1990), the golden body came back, literally and metaphorically, to give moviegoers a lesson in undying love – women paid close attention. The golden body's accomplishments were recognised by the world at large and in 1991, Swayze was named "The Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine.
More recently, Swayze introduced himself to a whole new audience, as a pedophile in Donnie Darko(2001), and departed from the screen, on a dramatic high note, with the TV mini-series, The Beast (2008). The latter was made after Swayze started aggressive chemotherapy for the lethal cancer that was then already ravaging his body. Suddenly, he was the gaunt, battered hero, on screen and off.
From birth, Swayze was destined for the stage. His mother, choreographer and ballet teacher, Patsy Swayze, named him "Patrick Swayze" because she thought it would look good on a marquee. His father's physical display skills included rodeo riding and boxing. Swayze learned much from both parents. His ballet education was topped off with stints at the Harkness and Joffrey ballet schools, which turned out top-flight professionals. Without being the high classical type in terms of finish and refinement, Swayze would still have found plenty of opportunity on the ballet stage of the 1970s but a knee injury cut him out. However, ballet isn't the only kind of dance, and Swayze turned his efforts to the musical stage, chalking up a range of credits, spanning Grease on Broadway to Guys and Dolls in London in 2006. He launching himself on the screen in Skatetown USA in 1979.
As film is a visual medium, the big screen has always been disproportionately populated by performers who are deemed, by enough people, to have an attractive appearance. Patrick Swayze was the blond, athletic, classically proportioned type. But he brought a lot more than poster-boy good looks. The physicality of Swayze's personality had the quality of a seasoned circus acrobatic performer: highwire, trapeze, any kind of wheels. When he was young and penniless he got around the vast American distances on his motorbike. When he made the big money, he got himself a plane. He did his own stunts. He understood that every physical art has its own area of expertise and although himself a life-long practising martial artist, he ramped up the volume in Road House by training with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. The full-contact karate fighter and kick boxing champion got a bit more out of Swayze by putting on Michael Jackson's Thriller, as a training inspiration with a dance angle. Urquidez, who started his karate training at the age of three, knew a dancer when he saw one.
As movement practice, the Asian, and most specifically, Chinese martial arts, are unrivalled for cultivating physical mastery and well-being. Nevertheless, as aesthetics go, I will always favour dance and, in particular ballet of any style from the purest high classical to the most renegade mutation of contemporary influences. With Swayze, you didn't have to choose because he offered the lot in one package that also featured the bonus of an authentic cowboy swagger and a Texan drawl.
As an actor, Patrick Swayze was essentially a dancer. Give him a move and he can copy and project it. Give him a script and his body will act it. Dance is a physical language in many dialects and although ballet is only one, the level of mastery required is physiologically so demanding that it facilitates a profound understanding of how movement works, how it looks and what it is saying. It is also a language geared up to story telling, whether literal narrative or psychological exploration. Dancers are traditionally notoriously taciturn in public. Often, this is because they are so eloquent physically and, knowing exactly how to put a foot right, they are fearful of getting a word wrong.
Regardless of how he adapted to each screen role, Swayze always retained full balletic pull-up and placement: knees gripped, pelvic floor held tight, abs rising out of the hips, the ramrod spine perfectly aligned right through to the top of the skull, head poised on a long neck, shoulders held back, body weight inclined slightly forward, each step taken through the ball of the foot. He also had beautiful line. His every move on screen was a consciously refined physical manipulation harnessed in the telling of the story.
In Dirty Dancing, Swayze carries the story with his dancing, which is sensual, sexually-charged and shamelessly suggestive – until you look at what is actually going on. There is a lot of writhing and pumping but the action is all in the face and the feet: the body bits alluded to, connect even less than a screen punch and its target. And Swayze's Johnny Castle has to do all the work for both himself and his co-star, Jennifer Grey, as Frances "Baby" Houseman, whose dance skill is very limited. As a dancer, Grey is the equivalent of a singer who can hold a note but has a poor vocal quality. Her movements are stiff, lacking articulation and feeling. In the just-published autobiography, Time of My Life (written with his wife and artistic associate, Lisa Niemi), Swayze states that he thought the Castle-Houseman partnership unrealistic as anything more than a brief dalliance, which made him treat the film's famous finale Time of My Life sequence as a swansong to what had transpired. No matter. The ordinary -nay, ugly duckling – middle class girl got her Prince Charming – a sweaty bit of rough – and girls around the globe swooned.
As a dancer, Swayze was, above all, an actor. In the ballet firmament, he would not even register next to Nureyev and Baryshnikov, both of whom made sorties into film. But unlike these superstars, Swayze made his artistic life on screen, a medium that was mostly interested in exploiting his physical talents and accomplishments. You rarely saw Swayze in aphysical roles; even in Donnie Darko, he is glimpsed threading through a tai chi form and, as the medical doctor in City of Joy (1992), he is battling alcoholism, which he endured repeatedly as a real-life affliction. The latter proved a depression-inducing box office and critical flop for Swayze, largely because it was a relatively dull story, full of altruistic intentions but not enough substance to engage viewers. Swayze was a master of the shirt-off, action acting genre and was far more compelling stitching up his own fight wound in Road House than dispensing medicine in the slums of Calcutta. Ironically the City of Joy experience drove him back to the bottle for a time.
Fred Astaire and Patrick Swayze were the 20th century's two great screen dancers, both working from a high centre of gravity, everything happening in the sternum. Gene Kelly, who is also universally well-regarded was, strictly speaking, a song and dance man with classically unfavourable soft-hard tissue and limb-torso ratios. Also, he worked from a very low centre of gravity, giving him an all-leg and pelvis style. It is the union of the high centre of gravity with the pelvic consciousness that Michael Jackson drew on to create his iconic and pervasively influential contribution to 20th C popular dance.
While Astaire made many movies featuring dance, Swayze made his contribution with just one, Dirty Dancing, although he did also appear in two other films, in a strictly dance capacity. In Dirty Dancing, Havana Nights (2003) he has a cameo as an instructor and he starred in One Last Dance (2003), co-starring, directed and written by Lisa Niemi. This is a serious dance film, based on the couple's experience as professional company dancers in New York, with choreography by Doug Varone in the late 20th century neoclassical style. But, like all true dance material, it failed to cross into the mainstream. Nevertheless, it does illustrate where Swayze's allegiances lie.
Swayze always related well to the media and the public, regarding the "dog and pony show" of media rounds and public appearances as an essential part of his work. As a veteran of the live stage, he had an implicit understanding of the role of the audience in a performer's work, which is so well summed up in the words of Australia's ballet great, Robert Helpmann, "You don't become a star. The public make you a star." Working the crowd is a key part of your work. Likewise, an open, easy relationship with the press actually gets the tabloids off your back, especially if, like Swayze, you don't think of yourself as a star. Choosing to live a relatively ordinary everyday life outside the reaches of Hollywood, running two ranches, tending animals, managing conservation projects and pursuing personal interests, kept Swayze in touch with an ordinary, mundane reality. Dance, with its exacting physical demands, was also always a part of that everyday life. One way or another, you not only have to work out to maintain condition, you need to move, you want to move. Right up until his final illness, Swayze maintained excellent form and it had everything to do with his ballet background. For him ballet was second nature. In an interview about Point Break, he said skydiving was easy,"like ballet in the air." Conversely, "Surfing was not easy to master, it's a sport that would take you your whole life to master." If you look at the movie, Swayze is faking the surfing very convincingly. What needs to be understood, is that to attain professional standard as a ballet dancer, you already have devoted just about your whole life to reach that point.
"Dancing is like a magic place, it's like living in a beautiful storybook, where you can fly, if you want to…" so says Patrick Swayze's character Travis, to his screen daughter in One Last Dance.
Swayze liked to fly on stage and off. In 2000, he emergency landed his Cessna on a dirt road in Arizona. Although there is a lot of tabloid colour to the story's details – he may have been drunk, he may have had litres of booze stashed in the plane, he definitely had his dogs with him – fact is, he was obviously a skilled pilot and a man of physical adventure, with enough mastery over space and motion to not fear risking life and limb the way the rest of us mortals do.
But Swayze was mortal and even though he was willing to get up at 4 am every morning to kick start his organs in his fight against pancreatic cancer, he could not keep repeating this heroic daily battle forever. His forthright discussion of his physical condition, and his way of dealing with it, in an exclusive interview with American TV presenter Barbara Walters, gives a glimpse of the intense physical self-awareness that underlies talent for movement art.
I came across Patrick Swayze's work by chance, walking past a TV screen showing Ghost. Swayze was in motion, running and climbing; I was rivetted. When I learned who it was, I remembered having read that he was a Joffrey old boy. However, when it comes to dance, many are called but few are chosen and if you leave, it's a bit like leaving a monastic order. Ballet, in particular, is a very insular world. Luckily, by that stage, I'd already broken out and was seriously indulging a hot new passion for Chinese martial art (Wing Chun Kung Fu, Cheung style). My aesthetic snobbery about film had been whacked out of me by mega doses of Hong Kong action cinema featuring stars like Jackie Chan, rigorously trained in the greulling physical art of Chinese Opera. Naturally, I watched every Swayze opus I could track down. Now there will be no more.

Skydiving is like ballet in the air or gymnastics. Surfing was not easy to master. It's a sport that would take you a whole life to master.
Point Break interview on Japanese TV
Interview with Barbara Walters, January 2009 – excerpts:
-The issue is, when do you decide that the fight isn't matching up to your quality of life…I plan on spending a lot of time on a horse…and seeing if I can accomplish the things I want to do…in this lifetime, like nurturing my forest. We spent a lot of money on some of the best foresters in the country to help us design a 200-year forest stewardship plan that we have almost pulled off in 15 years. If I can leave those kinds of legacies by way of example…I'm a happy man.
-We're all dying, it's only a matter of when.
-It (The Beast) had an incredible timely energy, this character of mine just felt right for my soul…this guy that breaks the rules, that is unorthodox and lives by the art of war and fights non-stop.
I was never collapsing on the set…nobody ever saw me whine, moan like a girly-loser man. If I had a six o'clock call, I had to get up at 3 o'clock just to get the plumbing going. The cancer shuts off the exit from your stomach, it shuts off all the bile ducts out of your liver. If you shut off those bile ducts, all the toxins start dumping into your body. That's where the jaundice comes from, that's where you start going downhill really quickly. It takes me hours to get things flowing in both directions…There'd be many mornings where I'd be curled up on the bath mat, just this side of a scream so I didn't wake Lisa up.
If it's about pain, I can deal with it, I can rage my way through it.
When you're shooting, you can't do drugs. I can't do hydrocodone or Vicodin or these kinds of things that take the edge of your brain and in 5 months, I missed a day and a half of work because I had the sniffles.
I'd be very specific when I'm lying on the bathroom mat, curled up, "you son of a, you're not going to beat me."
The tabloids say, "Patrick is winning the battle against cancer." I'm not winning the battle against cancer – what winning is to me, is not giving up. No matter what's thrown at me, I can take it, I can keep going.
With cancer, we have nothing but caveman tools. You fight a monster with poison (chemotherapy). How much of that poison can your body take, can you still keep functioning? One thing it gives you is colonitis and seriously inflamed bowels. What most people don't understand, it's not the cancer that tries to kill you, it's the plumbing, it's all the things that are around the cancer.
-(Alternative treatment) I do very specific immune system Chinese herbs but not much. One of the pieces of advice you get is, (if) you feed your body, you feed the voracious, insatiable appetite of the cancer. What makes you stronger, can feed the cancer. It's just gonna pour gasoline on the cancer…one thing I'm not going to do is chase staying alive. You spend so much time chasing staying alive, you won't live.
-(Still smoking) I've been dealing with one thing at a time as it comes, in the order that it's trying to kill me. Will stopping smoking now change anything? No, but when it looks like I'll live longer than five minutes, I'll drop cigarettes like a hot potato. Right now, it's not my priority.
-If I leave this earth, I want to leave knowing I tried to give something back and tried to do something worthwhile with myself. That keeps me going. That gets me up in the morning. My work is my work; my work is what I do.
-I've said that I was on borrowed time since I was 30 years old, I've had 159 lives but I plan on shaking this tree. When they say what your options are, you get busy living or get busy dying.

God loves to make things new. In fact, it is what he specializes in doing. It is all through Scripture – "his mercies are new every morning"; he is "doing a new thing", making "all things new." And this God wants to do something brand new in our lives. The question is will we embrace his process for us and in us? So what if God could make us brand new, and what if he intended for us to live a perpetual state of being renewed? At the beginning of a new year, let's embrace the new thing that God is doing in us.

On Christmas Eve or on Christmas day, we will be travelling around and find ourselves passing through a decorative front door. The front door adorned with a wreath and other decorations is the place marked by relationship, where new friendships begin and old ones pick up where they left off. All of us crave relationships with others, but we also crave a relationship "vertically" with God, and the great news is that the God of the Scriptures sent his one and only son to make possible a relationship that will transform our lives. Click here to listen to or download the mp3 of the sermon only.
Weddings are joyous occasions about love that we look forward to attending. Revelation 19 is about a wedding that you will not want to miss. The Lamb of God will be coming back for his bride, comprised of those individuals who have a relationship with Him. Click here to listen to or download the mp3 of the sermon only.
In Revelation 12, we get a glimpse of what's been going on behind the scenes of history. A great conflict has been going on between God's people and God's enemy, Satan. But at Christmas, God invades enemy territory with the birth of Jesus who turns the tides of the battle. All of heaven shouts for joy because Jesus wins the battle against Satan. And because Jesus wins, we win too. Click here to listen to or download the mp3 of the sermon only.
Conflict is such a normal part of the human experience. We see it in virtually every area of our lives, yet our hearts yearn for peace. Revelation 5 teaches us that ultimate peace will one day be the norm. Until then, we can have peace right now in a relationship with the Prince of Peace... Jesus Christ! Click here to listen to or download the mp3 of the sermon only.
The first week of Advent is hope. We are people who hope for something because ultimately something isn't right. This is true about Christmas gifts that we hope for, but also at a much deeper level we hope for something that troubles us at the level of our soul. Revelation 1 makes it very clear that ultimately the brokenness of this world and of our own lives can be changed by Jesus Christ, the one in whom we place our hope, whose blood was shed so we could experience freedom! Click here to listen to or download the mp3 of the sermon only.
Water is powerful! And throughout the Scriptures we see God using water to tell the story of life and death. It is no surprise then, that the ordinance of baptism also includes water. This ordinance of the church is a ritual that speaks to a deeper reality, a reality of what Jesus Christ has done in the lives of those who believe.

"New & Improved" resonates with people, if it didn't, advertisers would not use the phrase so often. In Revelation 21, we see that God himself promises a new heaven and a new earth. And while product improvements pale in comparison to a "new heaven and new earth," the believer has the confidence (and attending responsibility) of participating with God as he is in the process of "making all things new."

The Much Too Promised Land
America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace
By Aaron David Miller
Category: Middle Eastern World History | Domestic Politics
About The Much Too Promised Land
For nearly twenty years, Aaron David Miller has played a central role in U.S. efforts to broker Arab-Israeli peace as an advisor to presidents, secretaries of state, and national security advisors. Without partisanship or finger-pointing, Miller records what went right, what went wrong, and how we got where we are today. Here is a look at the peace process from a place at the negotiation table, filled with behind-the-scenes strategy, colorful anecdotes and equally colorful characters, and new interviews with presidents, secretaries of state, and key Arab and Israeli leaders.
Honest, critical, and often controversial, Miller's insider's account offers a brilliant new analysis of the problem of Arab-Israeli peace and how it still might be solved.
For nearly twenty years, Aaron David Miller has played a central role in U.S. efforts to broker Arab-Israeli peace. His position as an advisor to presidents, secretaries of state, and national security advisors has given him a unique perspective on a problem that American leaders have wrestled with for more than half a century. Why has the world's greatest superpower failed to broker, or impose, a solution in the Middle East? If a solution is possible, what would it take? And why after so many years of struggle and failure, with the entire region even more unsettled than ever, should Americans even care? Is Israel/Palestine really the "much too promised land"?
As a historian, analyst, and negotiator, perhaps no one is more qualified to answer these questions than Aaron David Miller. Without partisanship or finger-pointing, Miller lucidly and honestly records what went right, what went wrong, and how we got where we are today. Here is an insider's view of the peace process from a place at the negotiating table, filled with unforgettable stories and colorful behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Here, too, are new interviews with all the key players, including Presidents Carter, Ford, Bush forty-one, all nine U.S. secretaries of state, as well Arab and Israeli leaders, who disclose the inner thoughts and strategies that motivated them. The result is a book that shatters all preconceived notions to tackle the complicated issues of culture, religion, domestic politics, and national security that have defined—and often derailed—a half century of diplomacy.
Honest, critical, and certain to be controversial, this insightful first-person account offers a brilliant new analysis of the problem of Arab-Israeli peace and how, against all odds, it still might be solved.

Notes on a Century
"A revealing and well-written memoir…. Miller fills his pages with real characters and sly observations… [and] sobering tales from the front."—The New York Times
"Aaron Miller has written the most definitive and insightful work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the attempts to mediate it. He possesses a depth of experience and understanding of this complex situation that is unmatched by anybody else who has participated in this process. His passion, intellect, knowledge, and common sense were invaluable in our tenure as mediators. The Much Too Promised Land is a must read for those who desire a true understanding of the most critical peace issue of our time."—General Anthony C. Zinni USMC (Retired)
"This book is absolutely necessary reading for anyone who cares about a Middle East peace. Aaron David Miller recounts the history of negotiations based on his deep personal involvement. Not only is it a fascinating tale, it helps us better understand the solution that someday will be possible."–Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe
"Aaron David Miller presents a candid insight into the Middle East peace process. His storytelling gifts make the pages difficult to resist as he moves from anecdote to analysis, and offers an intimate portrayal of the minds and personalities of the major players. This is an unpredictable and challenging book." —George J. Mitchell
"Aaron David Miller shines a floodlight on the workings of America's Middle East policy. He has written the rarest kind of diplomatic history—both knowing and accessible. This is a book peopled by large, historic figures—Arabs, Israelis, and Americans, and Aaron Miller renders them with artistry. He was there as this diplomatic history was made, and he distills it for his readers with honesty and wisdom and no small measure of irreverence. A superb and exquisitely rendered book."—Fouad Ajami, Majid Khadduri Professor of Middle East Studies, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies
"In this absorbing volume, as one who participated in numerous high level negotiations on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Aaron Miller offers both information and insight to interested and concerned readers."—Elie Wiesel
"Illuminating… the value of the book is its rich and colorful history of past negotiations, and Miller's sharp-edged analysis of what went wrong and right. Memo to the secretary of state: The next time you head off to Jerusalem, throw out some of those briefing papers to make room for this book in your briefcase."—Washington Post
"Extraordinary…. Miller evinces genuine compassion for both sides in the conflict … while maintaining a detachment that allows him to draw hard conclusions…. Miller's writing is both approachable and deeply smart."–Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Combines memoir with what might be called a primer on diplomacy…. Recommended reading for the next administration, if not this one."–Kirkus Reviews
"A book of great significance, owing to its breadth, objectivity, and judgment."—Library Journal, starred review
"Insightful…. [Including] a nuanced meditation on the interface between U.S. domestic politics and the situation in the middle East…. A spirited and intimate account."—Foreign Affairs

by 16 people.
Hunting Hilter is a 2015 documentary series which focuses on investigating certain conspiracy theories surrounding the demise of the führer of Germany Adolf Hitler. In the closing stages of World War 2, Hitler besieged himself in an underground government bunker in the Heart of Berlin commonly known as "the führer bunker" and refused to leave despite the Allied forces being just miles away. Historically this was due to his immense patriotism and Berlin being symbolic of the German Third Reich.
If the city was to fall into enemy hands ww2 was lost in Hitler's eyes and he would no longer conduct it from any other location. Even though Germany could have continued fighting; Berlin was an important city but many industrial cities had not capitulated yet. In any case, Germany and the Nazi party were in a big problem in 1945 and the regime had practically fallen apart.
So the decision was made to kill himself along with his wife who he had married only hours ago and disposed of the bodies by burning them. This was to prevent Hilters body being discovered and paraded around the streets of Berlin, something he reportedly feared as the same thing had happened to fellow fascist Italian leader Mussolini only weeks before.
This "Hunting Hitler" documentary explores evidence that in fact, Hitler did not take his own life on April 30th, 1945. The conspiracies say he managed to get out of the city and escaped Germany to South America where he lived for years. A controversial series which uses declassified documents to back up claims that the story of Adolf Hitler did not end with the collapse of his Nazi regime.

Blessings to you, and thank you for stopping by my page. My name is Kristen Waters and I am a Certified Reiki Practitioner. I have been attuned and certified as a Rieki I, II and Master Practitioner. You may want to know more of my own personal history. I was born and raised in the small town of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. After graduating High School, I decided to work instead of going to college. Thinking that nursing was my calling, I devoted most of my early working years as a caregiver to the elderly and mentally handicapped. In recent years, I moved to the greater Pittsburgh area and went to college and became a Medical Assistant. I then also discovered my own natural healing techniques, and I have been seeking a better way of healing. Realizing that my true calling is healing, I have been on a path of self-discovery. This personal journey has brought me to Reiki and the understanding that our Creator made us to be healthy and happy. I practice meditation, chakra energy work, and am learning many other exciting ways to better my life and the world of those around me. If you are like me and wanting to live a better, healthier and happy life, then schedule a treatment today, and feel the best you have in years!
May you always know love, light and peace!
A reiki practitioner is a channel for reiki to pass through and heal. A reiki practitioner has gone through an attunement process to open various energy centers in the body through which reiki passes. The practitioner is taught the various hand positions used during treatments. Essentially, reiki travels through the practitioner's head and out through the hands. Since the reiki practitioner is only a channel for the energy, the practitioner does not use her own energy to aid in treatment. Reiki simply passes through the practitioner. Giving reiki is an intuitive process. A practitioner may be able to scan and sense where reiki is needed and will apply reiki in those areas. Reiki helps both you and the practitioner as the energy travels through both of us.
I practice reiki in combination with my own spiritual beliefs, so I tend to blend in these ideas with my practice. Reiki, however, works regardless of a person's belief system. It does not depend on my beliefs nor does it depend on your beliefs. It just works.
What training does a Reiki practitioner go through?
Reiki attunement is the process of opening yourself and your senses to embrace the ancient art of Reiki.
This is where Reiki attunements help. Reiki attunement opens the door towards the path that connects the human body to the main source of Universal Life Energy.
Every person has the power to heal his own self or another person through the use of energy. Reiki follows a system that is already present in each one of us. However, not everybody is nurturing this gift. Reiki attunement can only be performed with a Reiki master. This process can't be learned on your own, as there are many concepts to know and many techniques to practice. Reiki Masters can properly guide their students into the Reiki world using the right channels. As such, this can be a truly life-changing experience for them.
Many people, as did I, fast and practice long periods of meditation. It is recommended to fast up to three days before the attunement process.
Without going through Reiki attunement, it is impossible for a person to become a Reiki practitioner. In its general form, this procedure is a spiritual ceremony that introduces you to the symbols of Reiki and all of their concepts. In an attunement, energy patterns are created around the student. These patterns are each attuned to the Universal Energy of Life. In order to achieve all of these, the Reiki master has to tap into the student's subconscious and use all of the necessary symbols.
The focus of Level One is on self-healing and helping others. After the student completes the required training, which may take one to four days, they are able to practice Reiki and do self-healings. At this level, the student learns the history of Reiki, the energy system, the nature of the Reiki energy, the Reiki Ethics, the five principles or precepts, the three pillars of Reiki, the hand positions, how to do a self-healing and how to provide a session for others.
At Level Two, the focus is on learning the Japanese healing symbols and on sending Reiki from a distance (we must always get permission to send a distant healing). It is suggested that a student wait at least 21 days so that level one can be properly instilled and grounded within the student.
Level Three Master/Teacher: Here, the focus is on attuning others to the Reiki energy and on teaching Reiki to others. An essay is written on why the student wishes to become a Reiki Master/Teacher. It is discussed at length. The master symbol is introduced and practiced. The benefits of living a spirit-based life are discussed, as well. It is recommend that Reiki I and II Practitioners wait at least one year after the first attunement.


Maybe you have an automotive project that requires a stud welder, or perhaps you are working on some metal sheeting applications on your property. In either case, renting a stud welder if you do not own one is a logical choice. Stud welders are handy to have around, but if you are like most DIYers, you will not use the equipment frequently enough to use invest in a whole outfit to put in your garage. The biggest questions usually come into play where costs are concerned when it comes to any type of welder rental. Here are a few things you probably want to know before renting a stud welder.
How much does it cost to rent a stud welder?
There is no one answer to this question for a few reasons. For one, there are multiple types of stud welders out there. In general, the cost will go up according to the size, power, or type of stud welding system you want to rent. So, for example, a stud welder with a capacitor discharge welding action will probably cost a little less than an arc stud welder. Secondly, the price for rental can depend on your location, the company you rent the welder from, and whether the rental service requires you to pay for insurance on the equipment.
How will you be charged for the stud welder when you rent it?
Most equipment rental stores who specialize in stud welders will charge you by the hour for the welder you rent. They also usually have time-block rentals for something like four hours, eight hours, or even twelve hours. In some cases, you will be able to rent the welder by the day or the week. For most people who just have one simple project, they will only need the stud welder for a few hours.
Will you also have to pay for renting stud welding supplies?
Stud welders don't use the same materials as typical welding systems. They require you to buy studs that specifically fit the welder and the type of project for which the welder will be used. When you rent a stud welder, it will usually be your responsibility to pick up the studs you need or any extra welding supplies, such as safety gear or tools, on your own. The rental equipment store may sell the supplies you need separately, but they will rarely come along with the cost of the rental.
For more information, talk to companies like Northland Fastening Systems.
