of us.
too much for humanity to undertake. We would suppose that the soul would quail and falter in the attempt to resist so much love, and light, and tender entreaty, as the Gospel displays. We are disposed to consider men influenced more by reason and conscience, and interest, than to reject Christ and that glorious religion which be came from heaven to establish. But so it is. Thousands and tens of thousands find it in their hearts to do this very thing, and do it with an energy and deliberation as if they were prosecuting the wisest and best of all enterprises. Surely none but such as grovel in the lowest, filthiest, blackest depths of moral pollution and infamy could do so. And how should the consideration of this subject alarm every one
Even those of us who have reason to believe that we are the children of God, have cause to be awakened to greater diligence to make our own calling and election sure; as well as in our exertions for the recovery of those with whom we are associated in daily life, but who stand exposed to the terrible doom to which our attention has been called. There are some, however, who only hope that they are christians—who do not feel that they have embraced the Savior with the whole heart-and who have no settled or reliable sense of the Divine favor. Such have particular reason to be roused. The interests at stake are so great, that no pains should be spared to arrive at a confirmed state of christian piety. How ardent and incessant should be their exertions to flee the wrath to come, and to go on to the full assurance of hope unto the end !
But there are many, who in their own view, and in the view of others, have no claim to the character or hopes of christians. And should not such be alarmed by the awful things which have come to their view in this discourse? Sinners, is there nothing in the knell of impenitence—the knell of eternal death-the knell of millions forever dying, and buried in an eternal grave to rouse your guilty fears? "Who of you intends to be reckoned with these miserable beings? Which of you does not tremble at the bare thought of meeting the anger of God-of being destroyed alwayof dying day by day, forever? Which of you does not shrink with horror from the apprehension of sustaining this dreadful character of absolute turpitude-of becoming a mere mass of sin—an eternal enemy of God and every intelligent being-of being known to others, and knowing yourself to be only guilty, odious, and despicable
throughout endless ages? Which of you is not overwhelmed with amazement at the bare thought of being united with such companions—of living forever in the midst of fiends and fiendlike men, and of beings tossed, and convulsed by furious passions, rankling with envy, malice and rage, hating truth and righteousness, putrid with deceit, forming no plan, pursuing no purpose but to dishonor God and ruin each other?" Yet, you are this day on the high way to this very doom. Not only are your faces turned in that direction, but you are moving-moving rapidly-moving a step to every pulsation of your hearts, which
slike muffled drums are beating Funeral marches to the grave."
Your very names are this moment on the list of those whom Satan fondly hopes ere long to welcome to the shades of death and hell. Waiting angels and an insulted Spirit hang trembling over you as almost gone beyond all hope. Awake, awake, awake! then, and grasp the help which Israel's God extends, or your sun is for ever set in blackness and in blood !
LECTURE XXVII.
ENCOURAGEMENTS TO CHRISTIAN PERSEVERANCE.
Heb. x. 32-39. ' But call to remember the former days, in which, after ye were il.
luminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; partly, while ye were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ge became companions of them that were so used. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith : but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition ; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
The early christians, and especially those who were converts from Judaism, were greatly persecuted and afflicted. This is a matter of legitimate inference from the well known disposition of the Jewish rulers. There are also several facts in the Gospel history which put this beyond doubt. But persecution and affliction were not confined to the first professors of christianity. The Gospel of Christ imposes such a rigid check upon human passions, it comes into so direct contact with the most cherished feelings and desires of the depraved heart, and it is at the same time so aggressive, and so uncompromising with all error and superstition, that it has ever been its fate to meet with the most violent opposition. The cross-the dungeon—the rack-the stake—the sword-the bloody inquisition—all have been glutted with the victims of its persecutors. Its great author came to an ignominious death ; and nearly all its first defenders, some of its most holy representatives, and many of its magnanimous reformers met with a similar doom. And even now, though the blood of christian martyrs has ceased to flow, and the fires from consuming saints no longer flash and smoke unto the heavens, it is not because the Gospel has ceased to be an object of hatred or contempt, or because ungodly men do not burn with the same hell-inspired feelings. The followers of Christ are still, even in the most civilized and enlightened nations, the subjects of affliction and persecution from the wicked. And though not so
outbreaking and furious, yet just as real, and much more systematical. And so it will be until the wicked are separated from the righteous, and the wheat and the tares no longer grow together. The Savior himself has predicted it, and the experience of 1800 years has so fully developed the nature of man as to lead us to look sor nothing else.
In the text the apostle presents various considerations by way of encouragement to christians under these afflictive circumstances. I will call your attention to them in the order in which they appear from the heaven guided pen of Paul himself.
1. The apostle encourages to perseverance in the faith from the consideration of steadfastness under former afflictions. « But call to remembrance the former days, in which after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions." It appears that the christianized Jews, to whom he more particularly wrote, had sustained some very grevious adversities. What was the precise nature of these trials, is not very clear. That they were fierce and powerful is expressed in the words "a great fight of afflictions." Their steadfastness was greatly endangered by them, and demanded from them a vigorous struggle.
It is said that they were "made a gazing-stock"—exhibited like wild beasts and other shows in theatres. They were thus exhibited as objects of contempt and reproach-as the professors of a despised religion-as the followers of a crucified malefactor-and as weak and fanatical in having renounced the Jewish worship; and also as the subjects of actual inflictions. They were not only reviled in words, but made to endure positive sufferings. And though all were not treated in the same manner, yet all shared in the affictions by becoming the companions of them that were so used." They shared in them by sympathy and also by their connection with that religion on account of which these persecutions were supported.
They were moreover plundered of their property-deprived of their inheritances—turned out of their dwellings--and spoiled of all their goods.
But with all these fiery trials, they remained faithful. They endured it all, not only without murmuring, but with joy. They counted it a privilege and honor to suffer for their Master. The apostle now wished them to call these things to remembrance; io
think of the fierce sufferings which they had thus triumphantly passed through; and by this means nerve themselves for what was yet to come. Having endured so much, and come out from the fight so joyfully, they certainly had great encouragement to remain undismayed for the future.
And so can nearly every christian refer to times of fierce conflict-times of sore trial-times when almost induced to give up Christ-times when temptations from without or doubts from within nearly robbed the soul of all its faith. But having passed through them without injury, we are to make the remembrance of the grace then bestowed on us the means of support and encouragement for all the afflictions and trials that may hereafter assail us. If God has given us the victory once, he will give as the victory again. If when unexperienced, and measureably estranged from that grace which we have at our command in times of need, we came off conquerors; shall we falter now having felt and seen that we have nothing to fear? Having held out so long and so successfully, shall we now with childish timidity throw down our armor and give up the fight? Surely the remembrance of the past should nerve every christian heart for the worst which the future may have in store
for us.
2. Another encouragement to christian perseverance presented in the text, is the consideration of our possessions in heaven. The early christians endured all the afflictions and privations of which I have just spoken, " knowing in themselves that they had in heaven a better and an enduring substance." It does not mean that they had any mysterious internal revelation or knowledge of this; but simply that as christians they knew from the teachings of Christ and his apostles, they were the heirs of a preferable inheritance in heaven.
This heavenly inheritance which awaits all true christians, is better than any earthly possessions. It is worth more; it gives more comfort; and it makes a man really richer. All the wealth of Creesus is nothing to compare with it. It is the source of more solid peace; it does more to make man happy under the various changes and reverses of time; and it is altogether more serviceable. Earthly property is a blessing if it be properly used, (though a great snare to the depraved heart,) but the possessions of heaven are beyond comparison more valuable and desirable. Then again

A Palestinian protester during clashes with Israeli forces, West Bank, March 30, 2019.
A 23-year-old Palestinian man, Mohammed Edwan, was killed by Israeli security forces during clashes in the Qalandiyah refugee camp near East Jerusalem, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Tuesday morning.
The Ramallah office of the Health Ministry also reported that three others sustained moderate wounds.
An eye witness in the Qalandiyah camp said that Edwan did not pose a danger to any of the soldiers and that they shot him in cold blood for no reason.
The IDF said that they received a report of one wounded Palestinian and the incident will be investigated.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army arrested a senior Hamas official, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, during a wave of arrests in the West Bank overnight Monday, according to Palestinian reports.
The IDF spokesperson said that Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Shin Bet, Border police and Israel police, arrested 12 people suspected of involvement in terror activities, nationalistic terror, and violent disturbances.
The suspects were turned over to the Shin Bet for questioning.
During IDF and police scans of the area, illegal weapons were found in the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron, the IDF spokesperson said. Security forces confiscated locally manufactured Carlo type submachine guns. The weapons were transferred to Israeli security forces.


Your fear is their entertainment... Andrew's life is one of bored contentedness: a teenage daughter, a faithful wife, and a middle-class job. He even has a Mercedes. His life is without drama, and the comfort of middle-age is setting in. That all changes when he refuses to buy a pack of cigarettes for the local gang of youths. Led by the emotionally unstable, and sadistic, Frankie, the gang target Andrew and his family in an escalating campaign of terror and violence that threatens their very lives. It isn't long before Andrew starts to wish that he'd just brought those damn cigarettes.
Where does ASBO rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
A very good book. Even more terrifying, because I can see this one actually happening.
Frankie. A true psychopath. Nigel Patterson did great with all the voices though. He has a very pleasant voice, a pleasure to listen to.
I have enjoyed many of IRW's stories. This one is no exception. I had purchased the book as well so I could go back and forth between listening and reading. I wound up listening rather than reading. The narrator was very good and the story kept me entertained and eager to continue to listen.
This is another amazing book by Iain Rob Wright!!! Not for the faint of heart, but truly terrifying from pretty much the start to the finish! Will make you think about the extremes you would go thru to protect your family!
One can never go wrong to listen to the incredible narration by Nigel Patterson. With his amazing voice, he pulls you right into the story, like you are right there living it!!!
Pay 1/2 price b/c the book is only 50% good!
The first half of ASBO was quite good. However, after the "main event," it's all quickly downhill on ice right into a huge pine tree. Do not recommend.
Disturbing yes, scary, not so much.
From the cover and the reviews I expected to be scared by this book. Instead I found myself waiting and constantly thinking of all of the other instances in which I have already seen/read/heard this story. It IS disturbing, but I didn't find anything tension building or extra "scary" in this book. I just kept thinking A Clockwork Orange, Last House on the Left, etc.
It might have been more psychologically disturbing and "scary" if I had given a crap about any of the characters, but I didn't identify with or care enough about any of the characters enough to be dragged into the horror they were experiencing.
This book fell pretty flat for me, and at the end, I still don't know what Abso is or why the book is called that. Maybe I need to be a Britt and not just and Anglophile to get or care about it. I did enjoy listening the the narration enough to go all the way to the end, in spite of the fact that I pretty much knew the ending of the book as soon as we met the pivotal character.
Everything about ASBO was memorable, from the characters to the narration. This is the kind of horror that can, and probably does happen in real life and both the narrator and the author do a tremendous job bringing the story to life. Fans of Wright's work will notice a familiar face in ASBO, and the story is told in such a way that you really hate to have to stop listening when life dictates it's time to take a break. I hope to see more of the Wright/Patterson combination in the near future.
"Asbo" is a truly terrifying novel. I especially wouldn't listen if you're up late at night. Which is exactly what I did. This is something that could possibly happen. Very frightening indeed.
I wanted Andrew to stand up to those punks from the beginning. Once they detected fear and established territory, it was a matter of time before they took control. They were nothing less than a gang of sociopaths looking for trouble.
It was hard to listen to, yet I felt too compelled to stop listening. Yikes! I would recommend this for a good listen in the real life horror genre.
About the narrator: Nigel Patterson was excellent in this story. He added a sense of urgency and panic to keep the reader drawn in. He made the story believable. I think he did a wonderful job voicing this audiobook.
What was one of the most memorable moments of ASBO?
This was much more than scary....There is so much violence and lack of remorse of the characters in the book . A very believable story.
What made the experience of listening to ASBO the most enjoyable?
* RealIy love love loved this book, I loved it because it felt real, real in the way you would imagine these reprobates to be.So Bravo to Narrator Nigel Patterson.This indeed is a novel of extreme violent terror made sickeningly real by the fact it is based on real event,we all know that do and can happen!This is not for the faint hearted at all , if you are of a nervous disposition i suggest you dont listen to this .I listened to this on audiobook and I am so glad I did. I haven't read or heard anything so intense in a long time and would have found it difficult to see and feel the change in Andrew,the mild mannered family man to the violent murderer he becomes, by myself.The characters are all strong from the beginning and the storyline flowed all the way through, sometimes such a hard intense storyline fizzles out, not this one, I was holding my ribs and breath for mostly the whole book!The vile characters made me sick to my stomach the things they did , yet, I couldn't stop listening. Isn't it strange how we cant stop though its awful?
When Andrew was defending his family as much as he could but seemed not to be able to do anything I felt quite helpless!
Its a great story with strong charachters and has brilliant narration.
Andrew because he starts off being bullied and then he turns the tables to protect his family.
Nigel brings the story and charachters to life.
When Frankie and his crew hold Andrew and his family hostage in Andrews house.The scenes are so emotional and frightening. Perfectly written and perfectly narrated.
This is areally great story it makes you think about your actions because thiscould happen to you.
I don't deny that this is a novel of extreme terror. It's never funny when you cross or are crossed by a psycho but that apart this book was atrocious. The steriotuype council hosue teenager is a myth and should not be perpetrated by writers. People who live in social houses are not all as bad as steriotypes paint them. I know plenty and can attest to that. Secondly the dialogue was weak and prissy. it didn't fit. The bias of the narator showed itself over and over again. The characcters were themselves weak and if that's what the author intended then he succeeded but otherwise they were quite beyond belief. Even the use of teenage phrases seemed forced to me and out of place. This might have had more to do with the narator than the phrases themselves but really? This book was not for me though I can understand how harrowing the behaviour of the teenagers could be to people but their reactions to it seemed a bit false to me.


Microsoft has released a new Internet Explorer 10 preview, the second pre-release of Internet Explorer 10 designed to give developers access to the new technologies that Internet Explorer 10 will deliver. The new version includes support for a bunch of new specifications, enabling better support for drag and drop, form validation, positioning of page elements, and more. As with prior preview releases, Microsoft has also provided a number of demo sites to show off new capabilities, and new test cases to demonstrate exact conformance with the HTML5 specifications.
This update comes 11 weeks after the first preview release, making it a little ahead of schedule; Internet Explorer 9 previews came out roughly every eight weeks, but for Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft is aiming at one every three months.
Throughout the development of both Internet Explorer 9 and Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft has shied away from implementation specifications that are still in flux or undergoing extensive modification, sticking instead to those that are reasonably stable and thoroughly debugged. The company's intent has been to ensure that those features it implements won't be a maintenance liability for developers—that the features can be used and deployed onto real sites, without requiring extensive busy-work to track specification changes.
Internet Explorer 9's previews did diverge from the goal slightly, with the introduction of performance tracking mechanisms that Microsoft implemented not long after their specification was first proposed. With Internet Explorer 10, the company is doing a similar thing on a slightly larger scale, with a feature named Positioned Floats. Developed in conjunction with Adobe, Positioned Floats enable powerful page layouts not readily attainable with current CSS. The new design capabilities afforded by Positioned Floats should excite developers, but they can't become standardized unless other browsers also implement them. Hopefully, others will follow Microsoft's lead.
Preview 2 also includes support for the new Web File API, which gives browsers controlled, restricted access to the local file system. The company has been experimenting with this since early May, when it shipped a prototype implementation as part of its HTML5 Labs project. This is the first time that a technology has gone from HTML5 Labs into Internet Explorer proper. Though the prototypes are much less widely-used than the platform previews (which typically weigh in at about a million downloads), Microsoft says that the experience it gained developing the prototypes gave valuable insight into the way the API should work.
The breadth of new features added to Preview 2 give Microsoft's browser a substantial boost on the HTML5 Test site, scoring 231 points, compared to Preview 1's 125, and Internet Explorer 9's 141 (yes, the older browser scores better, for some reason). Though the selection of features tested on that site is quite arbitrary—98 points are available for new HTML5 form capabilities, but just 15 for the far more significant Web Workers feature, for example—and the testing isn't very thorough (for the most part, it doesn't test that features actually work correctly), this still represents a healthy boost, and shows that Internet Explorer 10 is making great progress in implementing these new features, just as its predecessor has done. Internet Explorer still lags the competition a little (Firefox 5 scores 296, Chrome 12 gets 327), but the gap is certainly closing.
Internet Explorer 10 shows that Microsoft is continuing to invest heavily in bringing Internet Explorer up to the same standard as its competition—and sometimes even beyond. There are a few more big ticket items that would make developers happy—Web Sockets, currently still a Labs prototype, is particularly desirable—but those seem well within reach. Microsoft isn't willing to talk about release dates at present, though is widely expected to ship Internet Explorer 10 some time around next March. With the way the browser is shaping up so far, it should be a very strong contender indeed.

Paestum, o Pèstum, (en llatí Paestum, en grec antic Παῖστον) va ser una antiga ciutat de la Lucània prop de la mar Tirrena, a uns 7 km al sud de la desembocadura del Silarus.

La van fundar els grecs de Síbaris amb el nom de Posidònia (Ποσειδωνία), segons Estrabó, en una data desconeguda, probablement a finals del   o a la primera meitat del , durant el temps que Síbaris dominava les costes de Lucània. Gai Juli Solí diu que era una colònia dels doris, i podrien ser habitants de la ciutat de Trezè que formaven part dels primers pobladors de Síbaris que després van ser expulsats. Estrabó diu que es va fundar a la costa i després va ser traslladada una mica a l'interior, però, de fet, les ruïnes que es troben són només a 1 km del mar.

Quan es va fundar la veïna Vèlia el 540 aC, Posidònia ja existia i era una ciutat considerable segons es desprèn d'una menció d'Heròdot, però no se sap res de la seva història. L'any 510 aC, Síbaris va ser destruïda, però els seus habitants no es van establir a Posidònia sinó a Laüs i Escidros segons Heròdot. La seva prosperitat és testimoniada per les restes (conegudes com els temples de Paestum) i les nombroses monedes que s'hi han trobat.

Va ser una de les primeres ciutats gregues que van caure en mans dels lucans, probablement ja abans del 390 aC, quan la ciutat de Laus va ser assetjada i ja era el principal baluard grec de la zona. Segons Aristoxen, en un fragment que cita Ateneu de Nàucratis, els habitants grecs no van ser expulsats sinó que van haver de sotmetre's a un contingent de lucans que va ocupar la ciutat. Van conservar molts dels seus antics costums i celebraven les seves pròpies festivitats. Sembla, per un passatge de Titus Livi, que la va ocupar Alexandre Molós l'any 330 aC, però si va ser així, aviat va tornar a caure en mans dels lucans.

Després de la sortida de Pirros de l'Epir, els romans van establir el seu domini a la Lucània i la ciutat va quedar sota el seu poder (273 aC). Per garantir aquestes possessions, hi van establir immediatament una colònia romana de dret llatí. La ciutat va dur el nom (potser una corrupció del seu nom grec) de Paestum, encara que és possible que ja el portés sota el domini dels lucans. Aquest va ser el nom que va prevaldre, per sobre del nom grec.

La ciutat va destacar per la lleialtat a Roma durant la Segona Guerra Púnica, quan just abans de la batalla de Cannes de l'any 217 aC va enviar regals d'or al Senat Romà i el 210 aC, va proveir de vaixells a les tropes de Dècim Quinti que es preparava per assetjar Tàrent. Encara l'any 209 aC era una de les 18 ciutats amb prou força com per subministrar als romans aliments i soldats.

Tot i que va ser una ciutat pròspera (es va convertir en municipi romà l'any 89 aC), no apareix pràcticament esmentada durant la República, però en parlen lateralment Ciceró, Estrabó i altres. Estrabó diu que s'havia tornat insalubre per l'estancament d'un riu que passava vora les seves muralles. Durant l'Imperi Romà, encara va ser una de les vuit prefectures de Lucània. Va recuperar el títol de colònia, segons una inscripció, probablement en temps de Trajà o d'Adrià.

Al , era la seu d'un bisbat. Els sarraïns la van destruir al  i el bisbat es va traslladar a la veïna Capaccio, que tenia una posició més elevada, uns kilòmetres terra endins.

Paestum era celebrada pels antics per la bellesa de les seves roses, que florien dues vegades l'any i eren molt fragants. En parlen Virgili, Ovidi i Marcial. Segons William Smith entre les ruïnes florien encara les roses dues vegades l'any, al març i al novembre.

Les seves ruïnes, força importants, es troben a l'indret anomenat Pesto. La part principal en són les muralles; hi ha també tres temples, dedicats a Hera, Apol·lo i Atena, que tradicionalment s'havien identificat respectivament com una basílica i els temples de Neptú – o Posidó – i Ceres) i alguns altres edificis. A la vora del riu Silarus, hi havia un temple de Juno, que segons una tradició recollida per Estrabó i per Plini el Vell va ser fundat pels argonautes, però no en queden restes.

Paestum va donar nom antigament al golf de Salern, que es va dir Paestanus Sinus (en grec, Ποσειδωνιάτης κόλπος).

L'any 1968, a menys de dos quilòmetres al sud de Paestum es va descobrir l'anomenada Tomba del capbussador, del , que constitueix un objecte funerari únic, per les seves característiques, en les arts funeràries gregues i en la pintura al fresc grega.

The rise of Words with Friends has brought the slow and plodding casual word game genre into the spotlight. With Lexatron, Fictorial's Brian Hammond seeks to add a little excitement to the scene with a keen competitive twist.
Rather than trying to fill a board with expensive words, the goal in Lexatron is to make your way across the board as quickly as possible. The secondary goal is blocking the path of player two, making it more difficult for them to complete their word path. If you get blocked, there's always explosions.
The reason I don't play Words with Friends or Scrabble that often is because without instituting custom rules the games just meander about directionless until the tiles run out. Mixing familiar word play with a clearly defined goal is a wonderful idea.
We'll see how well it works out when Lexatron's $.99 universal app hits iTunes on October 10.

Q: Ways to specify current user's file paths I haven't been able to find an answer for this, I believe, because I don't really know how to ask the question.  My C# .net app needs to be able to specify something along the lines of %Windows% instead of C:\Windows in case the user is not using the C Drive for their windows installation.  Also, I need to be able to do the same for their user folder path ie. "C:\Users\%usrname%\Desktop"
I would love to just be able to build a string from this info, or just be able to use some kind of identify (like I did above) to just pass that entire string to the File class.
I'm pretty sure this is simply, I just don't know the right way to phrase it to get good Google results :P
Thanks.

Welcome back for another Alaska Achievers Monthly Blog Hop with fellow Demonstrators globally, who all enjoyed their prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip in July this year, reaping the rewards of our hard work to achieve.
You join me, Sandra, here in Norfolk, UK and today we are here to share more products from the 2018 Autumn/Winter catalogue.
My base card is Shaded Spruce with Soft Suede and Whisper White layers. A mask was applied from torn scrap paper to keep the snow 'clean'. The sky was brayered using Blueberry Bushell ink and Sponge Brayers #141714, repeating until you get the shade of blue you want. My landscape card was more of a night sky.
Leaving the mask in place, trees from Rooted in Nature stamp and Die bundle #148352 (W) #148353 with Shaded Spruce ink, were stamped along the horizon.
Removing the mask, I stamped the greeting and one deer in the middle/ Two additional deer were stamped and die cut from Dashing Deer #149934 (W) #149935 (C) using Soft Suede ink.
Sadly this will be the last Blog Hop with this years Achievers group. The new year starting from 1st October will be with the Demonstrators who have achieved the Greek Isles Cruise in 2019. I wish them all an enjoyable trip next year and will be watching their blog hops along the way and hope to join the achievers again in Maui 2020 !
I hope you've enjoyed my post today and perhaps inspired you to purchase a few products. You will probably need to grab a cuppa and a notepad to start listing your favourite 'must-have's' whilst you 'hop' round the globe today!
I shared last week how delighted I am to take part in my first CASE Challenge with Emma and Becki.
Week 7 on the CASE challenge is inspired by the amazing Bonnie O'Neill and her Colour Challenge cards. You can check out her blog HERE.
To CASE Bonnie's card, I have chosen to use the delicate snowflakes and sentiment from Beautiful Blizzard #148565 (W) #148562 (C).
To complete this challenge, I used a Mellow Moss base card, with Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White layers. The White layer was stamped with cluster of snowflakes from Beautiful Blizzard in delicate Soft Sea Foam ink. The same cluster of snowflakes was stamped on Soft Sea Foam panel to the right, using Mossy Meadow ink.
This gorgeous sentiment is also from Beautiful Blizzard stamped in Mossy Meadow on Soft Sea Foam card and matted onto a slightly larger piece of Mossy Meadow card. I used the same 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon #144213 that Bonnie used.
Here is the Beautiful Blizzard bundle as it appears in the Autumn / Winter catalogue. Remember by purchasing as a Bundle #147902, you save 10% on the individual purchase prices.
Our CASE Challenge next week is the card below, created by the wonderfully talented Michelle Zindorf. You can click to her blog HERE for a closer look.
Before you head off, it's time to hop over to the lovely Becki @ HERE and see her lovely take on this week's CASE Challenge.
I hope you will join us back here next Monday to see our creations and find out who is chosen as our spotlight designer for the following week.
If you want to join in this challenge, feel free to CASE Michelle's lovely project, take a photo, which you can email me or upload to my Sandra's Stamp & Craft Studio Facebook page. I can't wait to see all the different versions we create together. We'll share the photos we receive in next Monday's post.

South Africa state capture testimony adjourned following Zuma complaint
South Africa in recession for first time since 2009 as rand slumps
South Africa entered recession in the second quarter for the first time since 2009, data showed on Tuesday, in a stinging blow to President Cyril Ramaphosa's efforts to revive the economy after a decade of stagnation.
Statistics South Africa said the economy contracted by 0.7 percent quarter-on-quarter, led by declines in the agricultural, transport and retail sectors.
The rand stretched losses against the dollar to more than 2 percent and government bonds fell after the data was released.
In order to have a major recovery, we need to see far greater certainty surrounding issues such as land expropriation without compensation.
"I think everything is going to be expensive and with the way things are, it's very difficult to save, it's going to be very hard to save, yeah," said Ntsako Ngobeni, a resident of Joburg.
Analysts had predicted the economy would grow 0.6 percent in the latest quarter.
An Economist, Dr Azar Jammine said there are a number of reasons which have led to the unexpected recession, including; unemployment, workers demanding wage increases and poor growth within small businesses.
"In order to have a major recovery, we need to see far greater certainty surrounding issues such as land expropriation without compensation that does finally see a lot of investment being committed to South Africa under the new leadership. But at the moment it doesn't appear as if that is in store," Jammine said.
Africa's most developed economy needs faster economic growth if it is to reduce high unemployment currently at 27 percent and alleviate poverty and inequality that stokes instability.
Statistics South Africa said agricultural output fell 29.2 percent in the second quarter, while the transport, communication and storage sector shrank 4.9 percent. Mining output grew by 4.9 percent and finance by 1.9 percent.
South Africa's president, Cyril Ramaphosa has made wooing foreign and domestic money a cornerstone of his economic reform agenda, so the investment numbers will come as a big disappointment.

He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression. Keaton's most enduring feature-length film was the 1927 The General. Lillian Gish was an American stage, screen and television actress, director and writer whose film acting career spanned from 1912 to 1987. She was particularly associated with the films of director D. W. Griffith, including her leading role in one of the highest grossing films of the Silent era, Birth of a Nation in 1915. Ethel Barrymore was the sister of actors John Barrymore and Lionel Barrymore, the aunt of actor John Drew Barrymore, and the grand-aunt of actress Drew Barrymore. Barrymore won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1944 film None but the Lonely Heart opposite Cary Grant. John Barrymore was a member of the Drew and Barrymore theatrical dynasties. He began his career in 1903 and first gained attention as a stage actor in light comedy, then high drama, culminating in productions of Justice, Richard III and Hamlet. Lionel Barrymore was an American actor of stage, screen and radio as well as a film director. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in 1931's A Free Soul, and remains perhaps best known for the role of the villainous Mr. Potter character in Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life.

Finding a path forward after November
By Josh Ellerbrock - jellerbrock@limanews.com
LIMA — Just over the horizon, Election Day looms.
But it's the day after that matters more.
Both the Trump and Biden campaigns have predicted what the country will look like if the other ends up taking the White House, and the political rhetoric foresees plenty of doom.
The country will still need to move forward regardless, and either way, it's going to be a rocky road
According to Robert Alexander, the American voter is being sorted.
The political science professor at Ohio Northern University has been watching this last year play out in its strange ways, and while plenty of questions remain unanswered about our current political situation, he can provide some context to where the voting electorate has arrived after decades of politicization.
"A lot of that sorting started in the 1950s and 1960s. It really began to happen with the disintegration or the change in the Democratic party in the South, or the rise of Dixiecrats," Alexander said. "The southern Democrats would be considered Republican today."
In the years following, political lines deepened as more and more issues became two-sided and often ideological. As the federal government grew and federal law expanded, issues like abortion, immigration and gun policy became major national talking points for the political parties.
Meanwhile, the national media and 24-hour news networks began to rely on two-sided conflicts to generate ratings. An enraged and passionate television watcher is more likely to keep coming back for more, and the feedback loop got bigger and bigger as entertainment journalists began to rely on talking heads, pundits and shows like Crossfire, which pitted angry policy wonks yelling hyperbole at each other.
Eventually, the differences between the two parties became deeply ideological, then cultural, then geographical.
Soon enough, politically active primary voters began to cast ballots in favor of ideological purity instead of focusing on particular policies, and politicians evolved to grab those votes, Alexander said. The gap between the two parties widened accordingly.
Today, confluences of social media, hyperbolic rhetoric, targeted foreign misinformation campaigns and racial animosity has only increased those trends.
As for many Americans, they've had to follow along despite never really being all that interested in politics. Alexander pointed to historically low election turnout rates and voter registration rolls as proof. Even in the current hyper-partisan era, 40% of Americans still identify as independents.
"Most of us are not red or blue," Alexander said. "Most of us are purple, but we're forced into choices that are red or blue."
Today, fights between Republicans and Democrats are now "winner-take-all" affairs with political norms on the chopping block if it's politically convenient. The most recent example is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocking a year's worth of judicial appointments — and Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland — from getting a hearing in the Senate. The result is further backlash from the Democratic Party, which is considering expanding the court.
Can one party "win"?
A big problem with the winner-take-all approach is that the loser gets nothing, even if the losing side makes up 49% of the electorate. Over time, it creates resentment.
A review of Pew data examining the largest issues of the presidential elections shows how some of that resentment has shaken out over the last decade.
Take the immigration issue as an example. Back in 2008, 63% of Republicans considered immigration to be very important when considering their presidential vote. After eight years of President Barack Obama, though, that number jumped up to 79%, and it became one of the primary features of then-candidate Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
By 2020, Republican voters are largely happy with the direction Trump has taken immigration, and that percentage has dropped back down to 62%.
"He followed through with most of his promises," Jane Seiling, who donated to Trump's campaign said. She's hoping immigration gets some renewed focus if he wins.
"People have forgotten about the southern border. I'd like to see the wall finished and see what they can do about stopping people from coming over the border," she said.
As for the other side of the aisle, Democrats are going into this presidential election resentful of many of Trump's actions in office. Three of the top five issues for Democratic voters this election cycle — healthcare, climate change and racial inequality — have largely been dismissed by his administration, and the White House has taken steps to dismantle past Democratic initiatives in these areas.
"He says he's got this great health-care plan, but it's just a bunch of smoke and mirrors from Trump," Rick Siferd, who donated to Biden's campaign, said.
He's concerned that conservatives are working to ditch the Affordable Care Act in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, which would remove people from health-care rolls.
"I am hoping and praying that Biden wins, and it'll be a cold day in hell before I vote for a draft dodger," Siferd said.
Considering that the polarization between the two parties is widening, each swing to the other side leaves vast swathes of the electorate more concerned than before. In fact, many political commentators have looked at nationwide resentment in rural areas as one of the reasons Donald Trump became such a strong political figure, and they expect the same sort of political resentment — now felt by cities and coastal areas — to fuel a high turnout election this year.
While the problem is complicated, Alexander said there may be pathways to return politics to a more even keel.
One such option is fixing the types of governmental systems and voting practices that encourage two-party politics to emerge.
"It's really about structural change more than anything," Alexander said.
At the heart of the problem is representation. Due to how the government is organized, the strength of each American's vote differs widely based purely on where a voter lives. The electoral college is the most obvious example of this. Because only a few states have the tendency to flip between red and blue, they often receive the most attention, and other states have a reduced say in who actually takes the White House.
This representational problem, however, also bleeds into other branches of government as well. Ohio is a great example. Three-quarters of Ohio's Congressional delegation are Republican, while just over half of its registered voters lean to the right, according to Pew Research Center numbers.
A potential fix, Alexander said, is to move to practices like ranked choice voting or multi-member districts that can help capture the influence of those in the political minority.
The problem, however, is making that conversation palatable to the average American, and polarization is actively fighting against the discussion. Right now, such changes are largely seen as Democratic initiatives (or third party), but Alexander said Republicans could get on board if there's another sea change, and they end up performing in 2020 as well as current aggregate polling predicts.
A second option along the representational route is increasing civic engagement. In the immediate wake of the death of George Floyd, the nation watched as cities filled up with crowds enlivened and angered by the current racial inequalities in the country. Since then, the political conversation has only grown more complex and heated as the situation has evolved, but many groups across the United States have worked to catalyze that energy into higher turnout at the polls.
Arisha Hatch, executive director of the Color of Change PAC, said her group has been focused on engaging with voters this election season and helping them participate in the democratic process of voting. Like many other political action committees, the goal is to get those of like-minded views elected to political office and hopefully elevate the conversation around the issues.
"I think we obviously live in a very polarized country. In some ways, this two-party system has incentivized focusing on the places that we don't agree rather than the places that we do." Hatch said. "It results in a conversation in which we're not speaking the same language."
The debate around the current "defund the police" initiative is representative of that, Hatch said. When voters of different political leanings actually have a conversation instead of reacting to a politically-loaded phrase, headway can be made.
Other PACs have seen similar results when trying to find common ground in the chasm separating Republicans and Democrats. This past year, the Ohio Environmental Council Action Fund — which focuses on state environmental issues — ended up endorsing both Democratic and Republican state representatives primarily based on work performed around a shared need, clean water.
"We've taken some pretty bold endorsement decisions to endorse several Republicans in very tight races because they did some amazing work," Fund President Heather Taylor-Miesle said.
Sarah Spence, director of climate programs at OEC, said her discussions in the conservative sphere have focused primarily on market change and innovation rather than some of the more loaded-terms when discussing energy policy. Spence, who leans to the right, said even small changes like switching out "environmentalist" with "conservationist" — and vice versa — can help push the conversation forward to a more solution-focused discussion.
The big question of the current political era, however, is if the average voter can have those same sort of solution-focused discussions about their own political processes. No matter who wins in November, that answer won't be known until long after the votes are counted.

Hi! A visitor to our site felt the following article might be of interest to you: Finding a path forward after November. Here is a link to that story: http://www.limaohio.com/news/432349/finding-a-path-forward-after-november


One of the most common refrains you'll hear from coaches in practice is "two hands," i.e. use two hands to catch the ball. While there are some cases where you really don't want two hands -- catching and some first base come to mind -- generally speaking that's good advice.
Yet getting players into the habit of catching with two hands takes more than just yelling "two hands" every time they don't. Here's one of my favorite drills for forcing the issue.
Have your players play catch using the back of the glove instead of the pocket to catch. When they do that, they'll either have to use two hands or the ball will fall to the ground. They'll get the picture very quickly.
This drill is also good for teaching soft hands; if the player makes a stabbing motion they're likely to push the ball away before they can clamp down on it.
Remember that you're not using two hands just because it's more secure for catching. It also makes it easier to make a quick throw since the hand is already on the ball, instead of fumbling for it afterwards.
Coaches let this go so many times. Coaches that stand around and watch a bunch of girls warm up using only one hand to catch the ball should be shot.

David Edelstein's Tri-Star Capital has purchased property in Wynwood, with plans to redevelop it.
The developer is buying an assemblage totaling 1.7 acres of land on the east side of Fifth Avenue for $32 million. The properties are on two separate blocks, with the first at 2641 and 2661 Northwest Fifth Avenue and the rest in the 2700 block. Part of the deal has already closed.
Tri-Star will develop two buildings with up to 300,000 square feet of office, hotel or retail, Edelstein told The Real Deal.
In total, Tri-Star now controls an estimated 250,000 square feet of land in the area, Edelstein estimates.
The new developments will be built in three to five years, depending on market conditions. In the meantime, warehouses on the site will be renovated.
Taking bets. Who will build first, Mana or these guys?

Here's what's at risk in the Texas Obamacare ruling | CNN Politics
Whether you know it or not, Obamacare has affected nearly every American. The Affordable Care Act does far more than allow millions of people to get health insurance through exchanges or Medicaid expansion. It saves senior citizens money on their Medicare coverage and prescription drugs. It lets many Americans obtain free birth control, mammograms and cholesterol tests. It requires many restaurants to post the calorie counts of their menu items. And it allows children to stay on their parents' health insurance plans until they turn 26.
AARP Statement on Texas Court Ruling on ACA | PR Newswire
"AARP is deeply disappointed in yesterday's court verdict. This decision is a profound blow to millions of Americans who have benefited from the ACA, including its protections against charging older Americans an age tax and for people with preexisting health conditions. The ACA has impacted the lives of every American—including older adults who can finally secure affordable access to health care, Medicare beneficiaries who can more reasonably afford their prescription medications, and people under age 26 who can remain on their parent's insurance. If upheld, this decision will throw both the U.S. economy and health care system into turmoil because millions of people will be cut off from the health care coverage and essential health benefits upon which they have depended since the ACA became law.

There's nothing like receiving new toys for the holidays. And in the case of one 2-year-old boy from Manheim, he received much more than a toy at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "The first thing we did with the car is we added a kill switch in the back so the parents can turn it on and off," said Patrick Hansell. Hansell is one several students from Cedar Crest High School modifying toy cars. "Our main goal is just to make the car easier to use," one student said.

With Great Power Comes Great Accessibility – How the Death of Stan Lee Affects the Disability Community | Rooted in Rights
"For many of us in the disability community, The X-Men is the first indication of a world in which otherness and disability could be more than just a difference; it could be a path to personal power. With a focus on common human themes of good versus evil and prejudice and racism, Stan Lee's collaboration with Jack Kirby ended up becoming the archetype for acceptance in education, and power in our personal and social worlds. While attempting to create a group of teen heroes who had been segregated because of "differing abilities," Lee and Kirby instead stumbled on the experience that every child with a disability has faced in managing their disability, finding a mentor, learning how to adapt, and turning that experience into a power."
Your aging brain: Is it 'use it or lose it'? | LA Times
Yes, your brain is like a muscle: If you don't strengthen and stretch its capacities, it will not deliver high performance. But your brain is not like one of those forgiving muscles that lets you engage in a lifetime of indolence and then perks up willingly when you take up weight-training upon retirement. No, your brain is more like one of those muscles that will reward you for having worked it across the full length of your lifespan.
The Loneliest Generation: Americans, More Than Ever, Are Aging Alone | The Wall Street Journal
Loneliness undermines health and is linked to early mortality—and baby boomers are especially feeling the effects. Danny Miner, a 66-year-old retired chemical plant supervisor, spends most days alone in his Tooele, Utah, apartment, with "Gunsmoke" reruns to keep him company and a phone that rarely rings. Old age wasn't supposed to feel this lonely. Mr. Miner married five times, each bride bringing the promise of lifelong companionship. Three unions ended in divorce.
A brief tour of Boston's anti-aging industry | Boston Globe
The quest to turn back the clock has never been more desirable — or more lucrative. WITH THE "SILVER TSUNAMI" of baby boomers on the horizon, the quest to turn back the ravages of time has never been more desirable — or more lucrative. The anti-aging remedy industry, with products aimed at everything from filling laugh lines to reversing bald spots, is set to be a $303 billion market by 2025, according to a report by P&S Intelligence. And researchers aren't simply advancing the latest techniques to erase wrinkles — they're exploring whether it's possible to slow the process of aging itself.
If You're a Gig Worker, Here's How You Can Still Get Disability Protection | Kiplinger

Disability Abroad
Having a disability can prove a powerful motivation in realising political ambitions | The Irish Times
Growing up in the West Kerry Gaeltacht was tough for Micheál Kelliher. He was the only deaf person in a very large area. And while his Irish-speaking mother and sisters learned Irish sign language, it was still isolating for him as a child. When he moved to Dublin aged 12 to attend the school for the deaf in Cabra, he discovered a strong deaf community (5,000 in Ireland in total) which was a step-change. But he still had a sense of being isolated, but on a wider level.
Elections in India still not Accessible to Persons with Disabilities, Here's Proof | The News Minute
In July this year, the Election Commission of India (ECI) conducted a two-day National Consultation on Accessible Election in Delhi with the aim of making elections accessible for Persons with Disability (PwDs) in India. Five states went to polls in December after that, including Telangana, but an RTI query reveals that the EC has not acted upon any of the recommendations specific to persons with intellectual and psycho-social disabilities across the country.

Though every doula is different, I can share that being pregnant and doulaing is a lot easier than it sounds if steps towards self-care and stress management are taken. Yes, being on-call 24/7 supporting families for an undetermined amount of time, providing physical and emotional encouragement during a birth and then coming home to take care of a 2 year old and run a household seems like a lot of work. Don't get me wrong; it is a lot of work especially with a bump, (my daily reminder that life is growing inside of me). But because the reward is so high, and the joy I feel everyday knowing that I can help other people, I figure why not make this work. And here's how I do it.
There are a few very important things to consider when being pregnant and taking on doula work.
I like to tell my clients that every pregnancy is different. With my first, I think I could have done just about anything until the day the baby was about to pop out. Without any nausea, pain, or fatigue, it really felt like I wasn't even pregnant. This second pregnancy is slightly different, I feel like I need more energy to get through the day. I'm often pretty tired by mid-afternoon and my body has a great memory of where to store soreness and pain from my last labour. I'm aware that every time I grow a baby, I will feel different. I just chose not to let the changes scare me away from what I'm called to do.
Being a full-time doula means that I can be 100% available to my clients. They know that I will not take another job to pay the bills and that I will be fully present and available to them. With this being my only source of income, it does get very tempting to fill my workload and take on every client. But I have to carefully consider what I can handle in order to keep my energy level up for every birth.
Reaching out to my own doula community about doulaing while pregnant has been my saving grace. I learned that compression socks would help prevent fainting when standing for long periods of time. Drinking a lot of Emergen-C's would help to hydrate me. Wearing a support belt would help relieve my back pain. And of course always having a fellow doula or two to chat with when I need to de-brief or release some emotions, which we all know are at an all-time high when pregnant.
I've always had a routine/ritual at every birth, whether it's listening to a song before I enter the birth room, sending out the partner for a break before taking one myself, or making sure to check in with my own needs at least every 2 hours. Those didn't change after being pregnant. What I did do though is make sure to sit down more whenever possible. Have the partner move into the physical roles more. Take more breaks whenever possible and carry pocket-sized snacks. Taking care of myself in every way means I can fully support my clients, and that's the goal isn't it?
Knowing that my husband has a snack waiting for me when I arrive home from a birth keeps me sane and ready to conquer the next birth. My family knows that mommy might be sleeping all day and that I will need my rest and recovery. That for just one day, the household chores can just take a pause or even better, be handled while I'm off having pregnant dreams.
I felt that it was very important for my clients to know that I was pregnant. That way they understand if I have to step out or sit down. Being honest with them gives them a level trust that solidifies why they hired me in the first place. Finding the right place and right moment to share my news with each client was a great learning experience. I always made sure they were well aware that my pregnancy would not take anything away from my level of support to them.
