Orrin Woodward shares truth, becomes lightning rod to critics – Part 2
The Truth about Orrin Woodward and Life Leadership
There exist countless facts, testimonials and life-changing stories concerning the positive impact that Orrin and Laurie Woodward have made over the last 15 years to conclude anything other than the fact that they are time-tested leaders of leaders. However, because they have worked very hard to live for truth and justice, they are criticized. Because they work hard to develop people and develop a business system that educates people, they are criticized.
Could you imagine what the world will look like when Orrin Woodward actually accomplishes his first stated goal with Life Leadership: 1 million people reading good books; 1 million people turning off the media and listening to positive messaging; 1 million people striving to improve body, mind and soul? I believe that the world would be a better place. I am excited that there is finally somebody with an eschatology of victory focused on making the world that our children have to grow up in a better place. Orrin's biggest challenge is that he has yet to create a training system good enough to fix 'stupid'.

Bill Lewis wrote:
The shocking part about Orrin Woodward, the man, is that he is not only driven to succeed, but he also desires to do so in the right way, based on principles. Indeed, if something is not based on principles, then Orrin refuses to function in that environment. He is more driven to improve himself daily because he understands the principle of The Law of the Lid: An organization grows to the level of its leader; therefore, Orrin continually attacks his own thinking in an effort to learn and grow. With all of that said, he is human and, therefore, has made mistakes. But his willingness to admit those mistakes and to do what he can to fix them is extremely impressive. In a world where people perpetually blame others, Orrin, instead, accepts responsibility and focuses on improving. It's hard to not like someone like that. His humility and his faith also separate him from the crowd. In most organizations, the person that created it makes himself the supreme being of that company. Orrin, on the other hand, usually takes a back seat in order to let others lead and receive the glory. His goal is to surround himself with the best leaders, which takes a person who understands where he comes from and possesses a humble spirit that enables him to realize that one person doesn't have all the answers. On a personal level, Orrin has developed a successful marriage with his wife Laurie and raised four wonderful kids.

I am so proud to be in business with Orrin Woodward for his courage to stand on principle. While many people talk the talk Orrin Woodward walks the walk. The "Amway Drones" accuse Orrin of being only concerned about money; however, as far back as 2005, he volunteered to take a pay cut to fix the business model. What leader that is only concerned about money would do that? Clearly Orrin is more concerned with helping new people win then padding his own pocketbook.
When Orrin chose to confront the powers-that-be, and try to fix the problems, he did so knowing it would jeopardize his respected position at the company. Instead of making millions while other struggled, Orrin risked bankruptcy and spent tens of millions of dollars in order to stand on his convictions. Orrin did not enter this conflict with the intention of starting a new company, or gaining more wealth; rather, he did it because principles he holds dear were at stake; freedom and justice.
I was with him one weekend during probably the hardest part of this fight when he said to me, "If Laurie and I have to sell everything and move back into a trailer, that is what we will do to make this right."
Does that sound like a money-hungry greedy person, or a person who is willing to sell everything except his principles?

There have been thousands of books published by the leaders in other networks, but how many have made the NY Time best-seller list? Less than can be counted on one hand!
Orrin Woodward is a Leader
In one of the silliest blog postings I've ever read about Orrin, someone in public relations from a multi-billion dollar company (Amway Global) actually had the gall to call Orrin a "MIS-Leader", despite the fact that over 40,000 people followed him out of Amway's former sister corporation Quixtar. Have you ever heard of a billion dollar plus company singling out an individual to throw tomatoes at before? I certainly haven't. In my mind, above anything else, this confirms Orrin must be a top leader because one of his billion dollar competitors fears him enough to write an entire blog post in a futile attempt to defame his leadership and character. Perhaps this is the real motivation for the Amway drones continued attempts to knock Orrin – they must be feeling pretty embarrassed, having misjudged the character and resolve of Orrin Woodward. Each time he receives another leadership award or accolade these guys are probably reaching for the towel to wipe the egg off of their faces. Orrin, the so called "MIS-leader" just won one of the most prestigious leadership awards in the country in direct competition with Jack Welch, Tony Robbins, and Jim Collins to name just a few of his peers. Ouch… that one had to hurt.
As Orrin Woodward and Life Leadership continue to grow, they will continue to be a lightning rod for critics. It is simply because they are trying to help people. Period. As a new person doing his or her research, you have to realize this simple truth and then jump on board. There is a lot of work to do and a lot of hurting people to help. Lets get to it!
Warning – The truth about Orrin Woodward may shock you!
If you are doing your research on Orrin Woodward and his business model, Life Leadership, you have landed on the right page. This article will explore Orrin Woodward, his character, his vision and the history of his business dealings the best way I know how – from multiple, first-hand testimonials. Like the old saying goes, "you can tell a lot about a person by the company that he keeps". Therefore, I will only include quotes and commentary from people who have known Orrin Woodward for at least 14 years or longer. So let's read what we can from the "company that Orrin keeps":
Bill Lewis
Bill Lewis has known Orrin for almost 15 years. His article concerning Orrin's character and integrity is one of the best out there. I also appreciate his perspective because he is extremely logical and easy to understand where he is coming from. Check out this excerpt (you can link to the full article here):
An important beginning step is to define character because some people definitely have a skewed view of what that means. Character has two parts: 1) the avoidance of doing something wrong (If a person is doing something that is wrong, then by default, he can't be doing what is right), and 2) taking action to do what is right. Orrin has been in business for nearly twenty years, and his businesses are based on developing relationships with people. He tells people exactly what is going to happen when they decide to join his businesses. Logically, if he wasn't telling the truth, wouldn't the tens of thousands of people who are following him figure that out and stop following him? The fact of the matter is those people continue to follow him because his actions line up with his words. There are some that have chosen not to associate anymore, and that is to be expected when building a volunteer business. However, if Orrin was a liar, wouldn't the masses and certainly those closest to him figure that out and stop associating? Some might be thinking right now, "But that's because the people closest to him get a special deal." That is a great lead into the business side of all this.
The Man
The shocking part about Orrin Woodward, the man, is that he is not only driven to succeed, but he also desires to do so in the right way, based on principles. Indeed, if something is not based on principles, then Orrin refuses to function in that environment. He is more driven to improve himself daily because he understands the principle of The Law of the Lid: An organization grows to the level of its leader; therefore, Orrin continually attacks his own thinking in an effort to learn and grow. With all of that said, he is human and, therefore, has made mistakes. But his willingness to admit those mistakes and to do what he can to fix them is extremely impressive. In a world where people perpetually blame others, Orrin, instead, accepts responsibility and focuses on improving. It's hard to not like someone like that. His humility and his faith also separate him from the crowd. In most organizations, the person that created it makes himself the supreme being of that company. Orrin, on the other hand, usually takes a back seat in order to let others lead and receive the glory. His goal is to surround himself with the best leaders, which takes a person who understands where he comes from and possesses a humble spirit that enables him to realize that one person doesn't have all the answers. On a personal level, Orrin has developed a successful marriage with his wife Laurie and raised four wonderful kids.
Tim Marks
Tim Marks has worked almost exclusively with Orrin Woodard for almost 15 years now. I appreciate Tim because he is a no-nonsense seeker of absolute truth. From what I can tell, the longer he works with Orrin, the more his respect for Orrin grows. Check out this excerpt from an article written a few years ago (you can link to the full article here):
Thanks to the leadership wisdom and personal mentoring from the Woodward's, Amy and I have been job-optional, living a dream lifestyle since 2002. So, in the spirit of balancing silly nonsense with the facts, let's do a quick refresher on just a few of Orrin's impressive list of accomplishments.
Orrin Woodward' accomplishments include:
Orrin Woodward is the co-author of the New York Times, BusinessWeek, and USA Today best-selling book, Launching a Leadership Revolution
He is an honored alumni of the esteemed Kettering University for his incredible entrepreneurial achievements
He was ranked #6 in 2011 on the Top-30 Leadership Guru list, alongside other world-class authors and thought leaders such as Stephen Covey and John Maxwell
He was ranked #20 on the Inc. Magazine Top 50 Leadership and Management Experts, alongside John Maxwell, Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard!
There have been thousands of books published by the leaders in other networks, but how many have made the NY Time best-seller list? Less than can be counted on one hand!
So, the tomato-throwers can't knock the fact Orrin is a best-selling author, and they can't knock the fact he is ranked as a top leadership guru in several different lists.
Holger Spiewak
Holger Spiewak has also known Orrin Woodward for almost 15 years. Like Bill Lewis, he is highly logical and writes with an almost scientific perspective. From what I can tell about Holger, if there were a problem, he would be one of the first to be a whistleblower. Check out this excerpt (you can link to the full article here):
14 years ago I met Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady through my friend Bill Lewis. Ever since I met them their example has inspired me to do what is RIGHT. Now, I am not claiming that Orrin and Chris are perfect, however, in my 46 years in this world I have met thousands of people from all walks of life and Orrin and Chris' character and integrity has been second to none. Being around these gentlemen in many situation, both in public and in private, their willingness to do what is right, even if it costs them, has been AMAZING, for lack of a better word. On November 11, 2011, Orrin and Chris (together with Rob Hallstrand, Bill Lewis, Tim Marks, George Guzzardo, Claude Hamilton, and Dan Hawkins) founded and launched the LIFE Leadership company. This happened after almost 2 decades of Orrin and Chris working on developing the BEST business concept the world has ever seen. The continuous improvement is still ongoing. Orrin is a genius and I truly believe that he is going to be the next Sam Walton. Chris Brady recently announced that, after Orrin approached him with this idea, he would step back from his responsibilities of working in the field of LIFE Leadership to find and develop leaders of compensated communities, and become the CEO of LIFE Leadership. Wow, here is a man true to his calling and I believe when the history books are written, Chris will be the Steve Jobs of LIFE Leadership. Call me crazy but we will talk again in 50 years.
These are just a few examples. I know that there are thousands more people who have known Orrin Woodward for many years; and they would happily line up to give testimony to the difference that the Woodward's have made in their life – personally and professionally. They are the real deal. This is why the article came with a warning – because it is shocking to find a real leader worth following in this day and age. So I am excited that you are doing your due diligence. The next step is to go meet some of the leaders at a live seminar near you. You won't be disappointed!
Life Leadership: It's history with Quixtar and MonaVie
Part 1 – The Heroes of Life Leadership
I love hearing true stories of modern day heroes! At the national level, each of our countries are full of brave men and women in our armed services that have showcased honor, bravery and sacrifice. Again, right in our own communities, there exist countless stories of heroes – from law enforcement to firefighters to nurses and teachers – all performing brave acts and making the world around them better. When it comes to the world of business, there are also heroes out there making real sacrifices in order to help make the world around them a better place.
When I read about the story of this group of business partners that make up Life Leadership, I not only see another modern day hero, but a large group of heroes. After the fury of a great battle passes, the strong gather to tell the stories to the next generation of leaders. Life Leadership has an amazing story so far – full of drama, heartbreak and victory – and this is their story. The journey that these men and women have survived so far has forged an amazing team of core leaders that deserve credit for their bravery, their character and their sacrifice. If you are new to Life Leadership or are doing your research (like any good skeptic should) on these folks, you are in for a treat! They are the 'real deal'!
The heroes of this story are not only the ones named in the headlines, but also thousands un-named. If you spend any length of time around the seminars and conventions of Life Leadership, you can hear many un-written heroic acts of this brave group of men and women.
That being said, Orrin & Laurie Woodward (and their family) certainly deserve the highest honors in this story, due to their enormous sacrifices when it mattered most to their teammates (financially stunning, emotionally taxing, spiritually testing, and having to endure more back-stabbing from so called "friends" than I care to write about).
If you are looking to join a company and group of leaders who have proven themselves worthy of following, look no further. They know how to dream big. They know how to work hard. They know how to put people first. They know how to learn from history. They know that they must constantly grow personally and professionally. They never run from a fight, when it is noble and right. They seek God's will and direction for every decision they make. They have a goal to make a difference in over 1 million lives worldwide.
So here is the synopsis so far from Orrin Woodward himself. I will interject my own highlights from time to time. Enjoy the article!
What was the 2007-2010 legal dispute between some of the LIFE leaders, Quixtar and Mona Vie about?
I get asked this question periodically even though the dispute ended in 2010. Still, I believe the highlights from the issue can help a person understand the principles LIFE Leadership is founded upon. Before discussing the details, however, I think it's important to share that I have no hard feelings for anyone who worked with Quixtar or currently works with Amway. As a matter of fact, I still have friends that work within the company. I believe life is too short to carry grudges and what is past is past. Further, I have heard from several sources that Amway has softened its litigation policy against leaders who want to leave the company. For this, I am thankful. Finally, I learned a ton during my time with Quixtar and have many memorable experiences. In consequence, I have taken the good, flushed the bad, and move ahead with no animosity.
Before LIFE Leadership was launched, Laurie and I, along with some of the other top leaders, worked with a company called Quixtar to build our community (business asset). Quixtar was a North American Internet based multi-level business started by the owners of Amway, but set up as a separate company from it's parent. This was an important feature to me because I had joined Amway in 1993 when I learned they were developing an Interactive Distribution model to combine high-tech and high-touch. Regretfully, however, by 1998, I realized this was more hype than substance and had not come to fruition. Since I had no interest in building a traditional Amway business, we planned on starting a new venture.
Nevertheless, after hearing Ken McDonald (Quixtar's first managing-director) share his vision for a new online model, we changed our minds. Since it was a separate from Amway (but backed by the founders funds) and would leverage the fast-growing Internet, we were intrigued. As a result, in 1999, we chose not renew our Amway distributorship and joined Quixtar instead as an IBO (Independent Business Owner).
The online model fit our young and hungry team perfectly. In fact, from 1999 through 2007, Laurie and I led the fastest growing organization within the whole company. We grew from several hundred to over ten thousand people attending events and our sales increased from a couple hundred thousand dollars to over one hundred million dollars! In addition, many other teams sought our training and started growing resulting in nearly another hundred million dollars in volume. Our training organization, in other words, was responsible for nearly $200 million of Quixtar's total sales.
Unfortunately, the rest of Quixtar was not doing well, mainly because the older, more mature organizations seemed unable to adjust to building an online business. I saw the loss of confidence and numbers firsthand because I was asked to speak (hundreds of times) to Quixtar groups across North America. Dismally, instead of growing into the 100 billion dollar company predicted by Ken McDonald and other top leaders, Quixtar leveled off around a billion dollars even with our team's meteoric growth. In fact, many of the top leaders lost half their numbers or more as they struggled to marry high-touch communities with the high-tech online environment. Nonetheless, I didn't realize the precarious nature of the Quixtar business until Ken McDonald abruptly announced his retirement in 2005 despite flying to see me just weeks earlier to discuss future strategies. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement (Ken and I worked well together), but I also respected Quixtar's right to choose its leadership team.
Curiously, however, Quixtar's new managing-director was also an Amway vice-president. Although I thought this was strange, I was assured on numerous occasions that the two were still separate corporations and the change in management was merely to help Quixtar increase its sales. As a result, the 2007 announcement that Quixtar was closing its doors and that all its Independent Business Owners (IBOs) would be transitioned into Amway shocked me. This was unacceptable for several reasons. For one thing, I was not in Amway (having purposefully not renewed when Quixtar launched), nor did I want to be in Amway. For another, I had told tens of thousands of people that they were independent business owners affiliated with Quixtar just as the IBO moniker implied. True, Quixtar was owned by the founders of Amway, but they were allegedly separate companies with separate field organizations. Indeed, I must have repeated this message of separate companies a thousand times because that is what Ken McDonald and the rest of the Quixtar's management team had told all of us. In sum, I had been misled, and thus had inadvertently misled others.
For me, the whole conflict was a moral issue. On one hand, I knew Quixtar (like any company) had the power to break its commitments to its customers, but it didn't have the power to avoid the subsequent fallout. On the other hand, how could I represent a company to others that I believed had misrepresented itself to me? Indeed, leadership is character in motion and without trust, it's impossible for any leader to get in motion. Nevertheless, quitting my independent business was not as simple as it sounded since Amway had stated its intention to litigate against any leader attempting to leave the Amway/Quixtar (indeed, hundreds were sued before and after me). Not surprisingly, the legal risk intimidated many other leaders into submission, but it only emboldened our leadership team. For if we stayed with Amway because we feared litigation, then we would be imprisoned into Amway's Legal Matrix and not truly independent anyway. How, in a word, could we ever recommend others to join us as independent business owners when we knew in our hearts that this was no longer true?
Although the easiest thing to do would have been to rejoin Amway, announce my retirement, and slowly watch my groups dissolve, this was morally unconscionable. I also doubted Amway's antiquated business model could work in the internet savvy North American market regardless of how many millions Amway spent on television advertisements (Amway no longer discloses North American sales volume but it is rumored to have dropped precipitously). How could Laurie and I in good conscience give up our purpose and principles for profit while our community suffered? And yet, I also knew that I would be sued by Amway (a multi-billion dollar international company) if I didn't agree to their plan. Financially, this was a lose-lose scenario. Neither option, in other words, was without massive risk and challenges, but leaders are paid to make decisions and it was time to make a decision.
Thankfully, I had great leaders like Chris Brady, Tim Marks, Claude Hamilton, George Guzzardo and Bill Lewis (interestingly, I barely knew my good friend and LIFE co-Founder Dan Hawkins at the time), who all believed we should choose character over convenience. Accordingly, I called a meeting to announce my immediate resignation and intention to sit out Quixtar's six month non-compete period. My plan was to form a new company and build our businesses entirely separate from either Quixtar or Amway. Disastrously, however, instead of accepting my resignation, Amway announced it was "firing" me (how a company can fire an independent business owner is still inexplicable to me). They proceeded to call each of the leaders in our community to demand they choose either Quixtar (soon to be Amway) or staying with me. Of course, the field leaders had no idea what Quixtar was talking about since I had not announced to anyone (except a handful of my top leaders) any plans to start another business.
Amway's management team had no idea the hornet nests they had knocked over. People in our organization were already upset at the name change and now Amway/Quixtar compounded its errors through firing myself and Chris, manufacturing press releases, and issuing business ultimatums. Not surprisingly, Quixtar paid for its hubris. In our organization alone, over 50,000 IBOs resigned rather than switch to Amway. Of course, Amway (true to their promise) initiated multi-million dollar court and arbitration proceedings against me and others. The financial stakes were high since we had already lost our business incomes and now risked bankruptcy. Evidently, the plan appeared to be to sue people into submission.
Consequently, starting our own company was out of the question. It would be foolhardy to attempt when a multi-billion dollar company was seeking to squash us. I didn't feel that falling on my own sword and hurting the many people who followed me out of Quixtar was the proper plan. Rather, I needed a plan for survival until Amway realized we would not surrender our principles no matter what the consequences. Accordingly, I sought a join another company so I could earn money to help support our growing legal mess (tens of millions of dollars). Of course, I ensured, upfront, that once the legal battles were over, we would be free to start our own business if we still desired to.
Fortunately, I found Dallin Larsen, the 2009 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year and founder of Mona Vie. Mona Vie, in 2008, was one of the fastest growing companies in the network marketing. While he benefited from bringing in our large organization (millions of dollars per month in volume), he also had taken a huge risk. In truth, I do not see how we would have survived without working with Mona Vie. As expected, Amway subsequently sued Mona Vie (I commend their persistence) and countless more millions were spent battling the behemoth. Fortunately, Dallin Larsen did not flinch and followed through on everything he committed to despite several years of legal harassment.
Finally, in 2010, a global settlement was reached. After much pain and pressure (the battle had left no one unscathed) the war was over. I believe Amway finally realized the IBOs who resigned were not coming back and we had enough funding to continue the legal battles indefinitely. As a result, the biggest leadership challenge we had ever faced was finally over. Our community was FREE! This was our team's finest moment. I have never been prouder of any group of leaders for they had survived nearly three years (2007 through 2010) without surrendering. Some even choosing to declare bankruptcy rather than give in to Amway's legal demands.
In closing, many times during the war I had told the leaders that those who stayed would be champions. It is inspiring to see how many achievers stayed with us to finish the million person mission. These men and women are the one's who dreamed, the one's who dared, and the one's who sacrificed to make LIFE Leadership a reality. Although I have read thousands of books on businesses, I have never found a more inspiring example of a group of common people willing to face uncommon giants. Perhaps the best description of the LIFE Leadership pioneers is the plaque at the Overpass Museum in Carney, Nebraska, "The cowards never started. The weak died on the way. Only the strong survived." If a person is ready to face his personal Goliath, I know of no stronger community to help him do so than LIFE Leadership.
In summary, the heroes in this story are too many to name. But I assure you they are at every monthly Life seminar across North America (and soon to be around the world) shaking hands, encouraging people and working hard to make a difference. So before you pass judgement on Life Leadership, go and meet them. And be prepared to be amazed…

Do not use sprint at as carrier !!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT USE SPRINT AS A CARRIER!!!! They are the complete worst scammers ever.
There are multiple reasons why you should never use Sprint:
#1: I switched from AT&T to Sprint on April 1, 2017, to Sprints "unlimited" plan because they advertise it as a way to save money compared to their competitors. I will tell you this; it saves you $10.00. Not worth the time or a headache. Sprints monthly bill is $189, and AT&T is $200. Stick with AT&T
#2: Their so-called "LTE" is a scam. I was always on a 2G network. What is this 2008? I didn't even know that 2G was still a thing
#3: Since their network is so shi**y maps, the internet, and email -
good luck opening any sort of attachment - completely out of the question.
#4: Customer Service solution to not having service is to restart your phone and connect to a new tower. SO that literally means I would have to restart my phone at least four times a day. NO - I was in Thailand with AT&T and had better service than I do with Sprint in my own home in Chicago (which is supposed to have great service, said the Sprint rep)
#5: Their customer service team is the worst and by far the rudest people - one accused me of not having time to come in and talk to someone.
#6: 14-day guarantee - this changed this year from 30 days to 14 days. They do this to screw you over - oh and they don't tell you its 14 days when you buy the phone. I was traveling the first two weeks that I had Sprint and had no time to call (takes about 3 hours of your life that you will never get back) I called on April 24 to see if I could get out of their contract. The woman berated me and judged me asking what I was doing with my time that I could not call or go in. Fast forward May 9 - 39 DAYS AFTER joining Sprint - I had enough and switched back to AT&T. Now I am left with a $1110 early termination bill. My choices are to port back into Sprint and continue service for the next two years or pay the bill. They are complete scam artists. The last customer service "supervisor" that I spoke to said that if I had come in on te 16 or even 17 days, I would have been able to cancel but since it was ten days after I have to pay. So you are saying you would have bent the rules for 16/17 days but not for me?
I am completely shocked that a company like Sprint is doing this to their customers. Clearly, your service does not work where I live and work, maybe it works for other customer but why should I be punished to continue two lines of service when it doesn't work? Its not like I have been a customer for a few months or even a year. I called 24 days in my contract because I was noticing huge problems. Now I am stuck with a $1110 bill that is complete BS. I am so appalled by the way you treat consumers that I hope no one else has to go through this.

| 11.6°C Dublin
Rehab says 528 people with disabilities are on social housing waiting lists in County Wexford, but council officials and councillors say the figure seems a little high.
The charity says the government needs to take urgent action to address the crisis, which is depriving people with disabilities of their basic human rights.
The Rehab figure of Wexford of 528 would be it the fifth highest in the country of people with disabilities on the lists.
However, Wexford County Council said that an analysis of current housing records shows that 386 applicants suffer from 'an enduring health impairment'. There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy between the council's and the Rehab figures.
Rehab says appropriate social housing remains a major stumbling block for people with disabilities.
Nationally a lack of availability and choice makes housing a significant issue for the 600,000 people with disabilities living in our communities.
Furthermore, more than 3000 people with disabilities are still living in institutions.
This figure does not include the 1,200 people under 65, most of whom have disabilities, inappropriately placed in nursing homes.
The organisation says the government is to blame for the situation and accuses it of demonstrating a complete lack of priority for people with disabilities.
Kathleen O'Meara, Rehab's Director of Communications and Public Affairs said: 'Ireland really needs to get to grips with how we support people with disabilities to live in their own homes.
'These figures show the Government is failing our most vulnerable members of society. The right to a home is a critical human right.'
Asked about the situation, Cllr George Lawlor, who deals with housing issues on a daily basis, said the Rehab figure 'seemed a little high'. 'The council do their utmost to assist people with disabilities in the area of housing,' he said. 'The letting priorities have changed. In the past the length of time on the list was a key factor, but this has now changed and the condition and suitability of the accommodation you are in carry more weight than the length of time,' said Cllr Lawlor.'The council ploughs hundreds of thousand of euros every year into adaptation grants to assist people who require assistance to remain in their own homes, The figure of 528 would seem extremely high given the number of housing applicant cases I see coming in.. not many of them from people with disabilities. The figure of 528 would represent one in eight applicants and I doubt that,' said Cllr Lawlor.

VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Porterville Police Department doesn't receive very many public records requests.
But Chief Eric Kroutil is making sure his agency is ready to comply with a new state law that allows members of the public to request and receive previously confidential police records.
"We're just making the assumption that we're going to get some of these record requests," he said.
Senate Bill 1421 was signed into law in September and becomes effective January 1st, 2019.
It will allow Californians to access peace officer records, including investigative reports, audio and video evidence, materials sent to the district attorney's office for review and copies of disciplinary records-specifically related to incidents where an officer fired a gun, used force that resulted in death or great bodily injury, was found to have sexually assaulted a member of the public, or was found to have been dishonest in reporting, investigating, or prosecuting a crime.
Chief Kroutil says his department has already found those records that may be released under the new law.
"We've got those identified, we've got them separated and we're pretty much ready to go," Kroutil said. "Our hang-up is going to be the audio and the video. Some of these older cases, you know, they're on tapes. So we're having to transfer those tapes and that's going to take some time."
The law allows law enforcement agencies to delay record requests for certain reasons, and to redact records, such as an officer's personal data or information, information that poses a danger to the officer or another person, or in order to protect the anonymity of complainants and witnesses.
Kroutil says redactions of paper records are straightforward, but audio and visual will require more work.
And while he has some privacy-related concerns with the law, he understands its purpose, and he'll make sure they abide by it.
"Hopefully we do our best at redaction and both comply with the law but then address the concerns of privacy not just for our officers but the members of the public," Kroutil said.
Statements from other law enforcement agencies about SB 1421
Fresno Police Department
"As of January 1, 2019, access to specified peace officer personnel records will be made available through the California Public Records Act request process. The Fresno Police Department has made tremendous efforts to enhance public trust within our community and will continue to do so by working diligently to fulfill any request received under the new provisions of SB 1421."
"An in depth look at use of force data by Fresno Police Officers is available at www.fresno.gov in our quarterly Reportable Response to Resistance Report, and information on citizen complaints and misconduct investigations is also made public in quarterly report issued by the Office of Independent Review."
Clovis Police Department (Chief Matthew Basgall)
"The Clovis Police Department is prepared for SB 1421. While we haven't increased staffing, we don't anticipate a significant increase in public records requests above and beyond what we already receive."
Tulare County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Mike Boudreaux)
"When SB 1421 becomes law this week, the Tulare County Sheriff's Office will abide by it, as it does every law.
I support the idea of the transparency that is seeks to accomplish. However, I would argue that Law Enforcement already does a good job at being transparent with the community it serves and holding its people accountable.
In instances where that transparency is lacking, I think SB 1421 will help provide the legal framework to make certain that answers are given to those who deserve them.
But I also hope the presence of SB 1421 doesn't take away from the reasonable privacy and protection that our men and women in law enforcement should expect. At the end of the day, they do a dangerous job. And I don't want anything to jeopardize that. As with every new law, we will just have to wait and see if the original vision for it becomes the reality."

Sarasota Art & Frame Exhibition
Had a wonderful time at opening artist reception at Sarasota Art & Frame on October 16, the show will be up until November 22. The theme was Summertime Beauty. My lady wanted to dress up and go. She made a grand entrance. But she wondered why she didn't put a flower in her hat, if this was her Sunday-go-to-meeting outfit. Nextime.

Day 9 Posting for 30 day challenge
The Cardinal came first, he started as a random glob of paint on the canvas. I outlined him and Voila!
The Red Bird shows up a lot in my paintings. I was born in North Carolina, The Cardinal is the state bird, he was always around and the grown-ups said that the birds worked for Santa Claus and was watching to see if we were naughty or nice. They were everywhere.
As I continued with this painting, I could not decide what to name it, the woman with the rainbow on her shoulder or Secrets etc. So, I decided to google the significance of the Red Cardinal.
I officially blew my own mind. My hand has stopped shaking now.
The Cherokee Indians (they were abundant in NC at one time) believe that the cardinal is the daughter of the un. Legend has it that if you see a cardinal flying upward, toward the sun, you will have good luck.. he wants you to examine the areas of your life in which you are, or should be, a leader. Is your confidence shaky? The cardinal tells you that you can handle it and to believe in yourself.The cardinal's bright red feathers and cheerful song calls attention to him wherever he goes. If you see a cardinal, it may be telling you to stand up, lift your head high, and take pride in yourself.
Accept compliments that come your way..The cardinal's bright red plumage also calls you to open yourself up and get your creativity flowing again...Red is the color of the root chakra, the energy center associated with stability, survival and security.
I guess the Cardinal is still watching me. There is a next outside my studio window. The name of the painting is Daughter of the Sun.

Maundy Thursday
We wove our remnants filled with our prayers onto the Cross.
Throughout Scripture, God is always picking up the pieces and making a new creation with remnants.
We partially travelled up that hill that He could only travel alone
The price was paid in full. Praise the Lord. Thank you.

Boy has it been an amazing three weeks at our new office! January 5th was our first day at the new location.
December was a crazy month for us as we prepared for the transition. Fortunately we had the holidays off to give us more time to prep, move, set-up, and organize!
Twenty-four hours a day wasn't even enough to get things done. Where could we buy more time? At 9:45 p.m. the night before the grand opening we tested our new digital x-ray and panicked when we realized it wasn't working. We had new patients scheduled on the first day and knew that we would most likely be needing the x-ray machine.
Thankfully the x-ray technician saved the day by fixing the problem first thing that morning. We've been so busy since the grand opening but it has been such a fun experience.
Calvin is an amazing handyman. I appreciate his attention to every detail.
Danielle built our snack station table. Notice how excited she is to do so!
A warm thank you for all the surprise visits, lucky bamboos, colorful flowers, and sweet gifts from our wonderful patients, friends, and family! The office is nicely decorated with bamboos and flowers.
Our 1st Day at the office was fun & crazy! Where is everything?
Lars, from Predator Signs, did an amazing job!
Mom and Cousin Natalyn stopped by to surprise us!
Thank you for the Lucky Bamboo, Helene!
Thank you, Cathy, for the beautiful vase and flowers.
My best friend and life coach, Lisa, came by to surprise me too! Thank you for the Lucky Bamboo!
This journey has been surreal. It is difficult to believe that Quan Chiropractic was established back in April 2010, almost 5 years ago. The support and love that we have received from the community has been heartfelt.
"Life is a journey, Enjoy it!"
A sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Dr. Quan & Team

the Kingdom of God in the New Jersey Counties of Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean.
• Within our rich diversity, we are made one by our Baptism in Christ.
• We are united with Jesus, the Eternal Shepherd, with our Holy Father, the Universal Shepherd, and with our Bishop, the local Shepherd.
• We form a community of faith, called to worship God, celebrate the sacraments and teach the Good News.
• As pilgrims, conscious of our sinfulness and need for reconciliation, we seek renewal always in the light of Christ.
• Responding to our call to discipleship, we reach out in love and service to all, ever striving to advance the cause of peace and justice in the Name of our Lord Jesus.
The Diocese of Trenton has taken proactive steps since 2005 to respond to this challenge, conducting parish planning initiatives on a project-by-project basis in order to establish fewer, stronger and more dynamic parishes. As implementation of the most recent initiative, Faith in Our Future, nears completion, the Diocese is taking steps to ensure that effective and collaborative pastoral planning becomes a regular, mainstream part of parish administration going forward.
That was the message recently delivered to pastors and parish administrators by Terry Ginther, the Diocese's chancellor and executive director of Pastoral Life and Mission. Ginther explained that the infrastructure of parish Cohorts, on which the Faith in Our Future initiative was based, will now be realigned to one that observes the ordinary existing structures of the Diocese – parishes, deaneries and county vicariates, all under the leadership of the Bishop.
History of Parish Planning
It was Advent 2015 when Bishop David M. O'Connell, C.M., first announced the Faith in Our Future initiative to help parishes address the stark realities of a changing Church of Trenton, including declining numbers of Catholics and vocations to the priesthood and religious life. The aim was for the parishes across Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties to undergo consultation and restructuring where appropriate, but also to initiate collaborative relationships among parishes so that they would plan and work together in an ongoing way to ensure the best possible future.
This latest initiative helped to organize 107 parishes into 25 Cohorts, groups of three to five neighboring parishes that were asked to develop an action plan in support of the Bishop's pastoral priorities. Hundreds of parishioners across the Diocese participated in the consultation through town hall meetings, surveys and other means.
FIOF was the third major initiative in a 15-year period, which first saw the Trenton Ward Study and other deanery studies (2005-2009) that led to parish consolidations. From 2009 to 2014, the Diocese conducted the Led by the Spirit initiative that introduced parishes to pastoral planning for their individual missions. Through closures and mergers, the number of parishes has been reduced by several dozen, with additional parishes being linked under the administration of one pastor. Collaboration within the Cohorts has also resulted in shared ministry and personnel, and joint events and projects, such as hosting nationally-recognized speakers on evangelization to conduct local missions or presentations.
In her Oct. 24 presentation to the pastors, Ginther offered an assessment of the successes and the remaining challenges of FIOF. She cited a reduction in the number of parishes (now at 99) and pastorates (now at 92); designation of parishes as centers for Hispanic ministry, and the development of planning skills among parish leaders. She also indicated that the collaboration among parishes has helped to improve stewardship, to establish new evangelization strategies and to raise up ministry leaders among the laity.
Ginther also pointed to struggles that persisted throughout the FIOF initiative, including a lack of buy-in from some pastors and parish teams; Cohorts that were not well-matched and a sense of frustration where Cohort work didn't match up with collaborative efforts already underway in a given deanery.
Shared Planning
Placing the ongoing function of planning within the ordinary structures that already exist in the parish and Diocese will provide organic support and accountability for this effort, Ginther observed. It also opens up the possibility of extended collaboration and integration for ministers and ministries already organized on the county level: diaconate, religious educators, youth ministers, respect life representatives – to name a few.
Ginther explained that this new generation of parish planning calls for each of the Diocese's 10 deaneries (with eight to 12 parishes from the same county) to engage in "common pastoral activity." Within a given deanery, the parishes will be grouped into an average of three Cohorts. The pastors together with a core team of parishioners and appropriate staff will strive to plan for more significant collaboration. The Cohorts will typically consist of two to four parishes that can plan and work together to address local needs, diocesan priorities and mission.
This effort will still be dependent on a commitment from the pastors, not only of their time, but to a new way of doing things. Ginther explained, "It requires finding lay men and women to serve on the Cohort teams with the energy and 'know how' to make things happen. It is a challenge for all of these (and the parishioners in each parish) to put competition and parochialism aside, in order to make a better, more faith-filled, and more effective responsive to changing circumstances."
Toward that end, Ginther initiated a consultation with the pastors in July and has been pleased with the response. She reported that 77 of 92 pastors answered a simple questionnaire, and seven of the 10 deaneries met in November to discuss the realignment proposal and provide feedback.
"These numbers are important because they show the high level of interest and support of the pastors to 'get this right,'" she said.
According to Ginther, the consultation is focused on identifying the most natural planning partner or partners for each parish – for now and far into the future. "In the process," Ginther said, "we hope to strengthen Cohorts that are working together well, address any apparent 'mismatches' in the Cohort configuration, and also align the Cohorts within deaneries."
Ginther added that the dean will have a significant role to play in making sure that planning is taking place.
With further consultation to come, and some decisions to be made about accountability measures, the transition to the new model is expected to take place this July.
The success of planning as an ordinary function of leadership will depend on where the motivation and accountability will be found. Ginther said, "Yes, there will still be priorities set by the Bishop, and an expectation of annual plans submitted to the Diocese. Help will be available if needed, but parishes will need to work together of their own volition to plan and implement important collaborative efforts."
Associate Editor Mary Stadnyk contributed to this report.

Ginkgo biloba brandishes deep roots
Ginkgo biloba, also known as the "Maidenhair tree," is a tall pyramidal tree that can grow 40-70 feet tall with fan-shaped emerald green leaves that turn to butter yellow gold in the fall.
They are truly the dinosaurs of the plant world, having lived on the earth since more than 150 million years ago.
They are considered a deciduous conifer, which means that the tree loses its leaves in the fall and is in the same family as cedars, cypress, firs and spruces, which are all evergreens.
The leaves of the Maidenhair tree have leaf veins like no other tree, they are almost parallel but follow the fan shape of the leaf.
The trees are either male or female, and although the owers are insignificant, the fruit of the Ginkgo is very messy and smells extremely foul while up in the tree and worse when it falls to the ground and splits open, which is why most Ginkgo Biloba that are sold are males.
Maidenhair trees thrive in most soils that are found on the Eastern Shore, and love to grow in full sun.
The trees have an interesting silhouette, tall and slender, turning more graceful as they age, and deer have never found the trees tempting to nibble on.

Between August and September 2018 we travelled to Singapore for numerous meetings with potential investors and prospective partners for Aerum.
During our first trip Aerum CEO, Alex Rand, was speaking at the Crypto Economy conference at the fantastic Marina Bay Sands – Sands Expo & Convention Centre.
It was at this event that we met our future Token Strategy Advisor Mr. Malcolm Tan of Gravitas International.
Following on from that event we were invited to a local crypto and blockchain meet-up where again Alex was presenting and we were incredibly well received by the local community who were very curious and asked lots of great questions, overall people were impressed to listen and learn
Following on from that we returned back to Prague and it wasn't long before we were back in Singapore again (actually it was 3 weeks later)
This time we were visiting the Consensus Singapore Conference and once again back at the Marina Bay Sands meeting and greeting folks and getting the word out about our startup.
There was some really cool startups there showing their wares like a decentralised messaging system that avoids all censorship and Stealth who were actually giving away some cool conference swag in the form of Ledger Nano S Hardware wallets. All in all it was a cool conference but it wasnt our main attraction this time, this time we were here for a private investor meet-up organised by Malcolm Tan at the incredible Marina Mandarin Hotel Singapore. There was 5 startups from around the world all pitching to a room of investors and crypto aficionados once again Alex Rand (Aerum CEO) was on the stage pitching to the room while REPTILEHAUS CTO Patrick O'Sullivan and Jonas Petritis (Aerum) spoke to potential investors in the crowd, the event was followed by a fantastic meal (actually you cannot get a bad meal in Singapore) and following on from that we were invited to an after hours Party.

Henry Alfred, the Wetsuwet'en hereditary Chief Wah Tah K'eght, passed away in the early morning hours of September 23, 2018. Eighty-four years old, Wah Tah K'eght had participated in events that redefined how people understood this valley, province, and country.
In the 1980s, he was a plaintiff in the historic Delgamuukw-Gisday'wa case in which the Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs claimed ownership of and jurisdiction over their traditional territories. In the case, Wah Tah K'eght and other elders took to the stand and explained the traditions that gave them the authority to steward the land. The case would eventually redefine the place of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
When I met Wah Tah K'eght, it had been over 25 years since he testified in the Delgamuukw-Gisday'wa case in 1988. I remember him sharing stories about what it was like to go to court. He still remembered it clearly. Initially, they only expected him to testify for a few days; his testimony eventually extended over weeks.
Wah Tah K'eght led Tsee K'al K'e yex (House on Top of the Flat Rock) of the Laksilyu (Small Frog Clan). Going to court he was nervous, afraid that he might not remember all the names that described his territorial boundaries. But on the stand as a witness before the court, he remembered all the names.
He remembered how Peter Bazil, who held the title Wah Tah K'eght before him, took him on the territories and taught him the names of all the boundary markers. Their trip had been in 1963, 25 years prior to his testimony. Despite his nerves and all the time that had passed, the knowledge came back to him as he spoke for his ancestors and all the generations to come.
Wah Tah K'eght also explained to the court how his house governed its territory. Government lawyers demanded to know whether he had the appropriate hunting permits and hunted in the accordance with conservation guidelines. Wah Tah K'eght stressed that conservation was central to how he managed his territory, rotating traplines to ensure that particular areas would not be over-harvested.
While the trial court ruled against the hereditary chiefs, the Supreme Court of Canada eventually overturned that decision in 1997, determining that the trial judge had mishandled the hereditary chiefs' evidence. In Delgamuukw-Gisday'wa, the Supreme Court Justices determined that Indigenous oral histories were a valid source of evidence. They also established a doctrine of Aboriginal title, providing the foundations for the Tsilhqot'in Nation to win the first recognition of Aboriginal title in 2014.
The Delgamuukw-Gisday'wa case prompted the British Columbia government to begin to negotiate with Indigenous people and begin a long process of reconciliation. In meetings and conversations, Wah Tah K'eght always stressed the need to respect the wisdom of the elders and make decisions for future generations.
Together with his wife of 63 years, Sue Alfred, he had raised five children: Dolores, Rick, Lester, Anthony, and Marjorie. Those children provided him with six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Wah Tah K'eght always stressed that decisions needed to reflect the interests of the children, grandchildren, and those yet to come.
I remember sitting with him and talking about some of the developments that had occurred on his territories. I remember him tearing up, thinking of all the harms that he has been unable to stop. He struggled with his responsibility to protect the land and all the disrespect of Wet'suwet'en law.
He embraced the principle of a reconciliation that recognized a place for Wet'suwet'en jurisdiction in Canada. He wanted Canadians to understand who his people were and to negotiate a relationship based on a respect for Wet'suwet'en traditions.
After a lifetime of fighting for this vision of reconciliation, we are making some initial steps in the right direction. I was really honoured that Wah Tah K'eght offered to host the feast to launch the Shared Histories book and mark that step on the journey to reconciliation. I am also sad that he will not be present for the historic recognition of Wet'suwet'en jurisdiction of children and families by the Canadian and provincial government later this month. These are steps towards reconciliation that Henry made possible.
Henry always had a gentleness and a kindness in how he engaged with people. But he also had a firmness in his commitment to his people and traditions. Henry taught me the importance of living together with respect for our differences. For all your guidance, Wah Tah K'eght, you will be missed but never forgotten.

The Prodigal Love of God
We are all familiar with the Parable of the Lost Son. This parable is also known as the Parable of the PRODIGAL SON. The word prodigal means wastefully extravagant or reckless usage of resources. And no wonder it is named as such because of how the LOST son squandered the father's generosity.Read More

I hope you had a great week end.
This weeks Blog War Challenge is...... " Christmas in July" where we will be show casing the gorgeous range of Christmas Stamps and Christmas SB Papers available from Kaszazz.
Our range of Christmas Stamps can be found on Pages 133 - 139 in the current Kaszazz Catalogue as well as the New July Products flier, which can be viewed by clicking here.
Here is my project for today.
I have gold embossed " Merry Bauble (1744LK) image and used the red Aquacolor Crayon to colour the ribbon. The bauble image is hidden under the pointsettia flower.
The Piontettia flower was punched using the Super and Jumbo Daisy Punches, I gold embossed a piece of Berry Red card with large Swirl Tree (1952LI) before punching out the Daisy shapes, to create a pattern on the flower petals. I rubbed the back of the flower petals in a circular motion with a rounded end object while resting on a mouse pad and then turned them over to the front and rubbed in the centre of the Daisy to give the petals more dimension.
The leaves of the pointsettia were punched using the Super Daisy from Holly card, I added a yellow rhinestone to the centre of the flower, then attached the Pointsetta with Magic Mount to the base card.
The newly released Fancy Flourish (4222KK) Stamp was inked in Ancient Page Pine Ink (72016) around the edge of the card.
I love this new Flourish Stamp ..its just gorgeous.

Sorry for being MIA, I thought I'd have more time to write but with the kids being constantly sick and family visiting and so on, time just seems to slip away.
My surgery (breast reduction) is scheduled and is approching quickly, I will be going in for my Pre-Op on the 20th of Dec. and then My surgery will be the 2nd of Jan…. .YAY! I can't wait for the pain to go away.
Now as I've heard my pain is actually going to sky rocket right after the surgery because of my muscles trying to readjust to not having all the weight they've had on them my whole life. So… I hope its not to bad and I hope it passes quickly. I have also been told that my real results will not be seen or felt until 9-12 months after my surgery, so I'm trying to keep that in mind so that I don't get disappointed. Keeping all that in mind I am still very excited to get it done and to see the new me.
I'll try to post more often, talk to you all soon!

Exuberant football commentator Brian Taylor has officially returned to Triple M, the radio station at which he rose to prominence.
Taylor's popularity during his time at Triple M triggered his poaching by 3AW at the end of 2009. He recently parted ways with 3AW (which, like this website, is owned by Fairfax Media), where his high-spirited commentary style was more conspicuous compared to his fellow commentators than it had been at Triple M.
That Taylor, a former Collingwood spearhead, was more suited to Triple M was reflected in the announcement by the FM station, which said the re-hiring highlighted its "commitment to delivering the most entertaining call". It said Taylor had "turned his back on the graveyard of AM radio".
"We're stoked to have Brian back in the land of the living, on a station that dominates under-60s," Triple M group content director Mike Fitzpatrick said in a statement.
Taylor will be Triple M's lead commentator for Sunday matches.
Jesse Hogan has been a reporter at The Age since 2004, and has been part of its sports department since 2008. He is primarily focused on cricket and has covered a number of the Australian team's overseas tours, including the 2011 World Cup. He also reports on AFL and soccer.

Man allegedly driving impaired causes 5-car crash in Gilbert
GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Police say a Queen Creek man believed to be driving impaired caused a five-vehicle crash in Gilbert that involved 15 people.
They say 29-year-old Jorge Medina is facing charges of DUI and 13 counts of endangerment.
Gilbert police say Medina was taken to a hospital in serious condition while a woman and a 12-year-old girl suffered minor injuries.
According to police, Medina allegedly ran a red light Sunday morning, leading to a chain-reaction of crashes.
Police say a pickup truck carrying a family of five overturned and Medina's vehicle and the truck then struck another vehicle occupied by a family of eight on their way to church.
Two other vehicles were also struck in the chain-reaction that followed.

Trump Tower in New York City is becoming even more secure with "heightened security measures," which will take place in July around the time of the Republican National Convention.
"Now, as well as resident's IDs being checked upon entry to the building, tenants will have to start 'filling out applications for anyone who wants to visit them,' The Daily Mail also reports.
Trump told Page Six, "It's true. And the residents love it because it was already the best building in New York, and it will be even more secure."
The penthouse is home to Trump, his wife Melania, and his son Barron.

Acts 2:1-41.
I. Who was there when the Holy Spirit was given?
To find that answer we have to look back at chapter one of Acts, verses 13-14. "Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers." This is the group that was meeting together to pray and wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit. These are the people who were in that place when the Spirit came, these are the people who spoke in tongues and preached the gospel in the languages of all those present.
II. What is Pentecost anyway, and why were all those people in Jerusalem?
Pentecost is the fourth Spring Feast in the Jewish year. Passover is first, then the Feast of Unleavened Bread, then First Fruits, then Pentecost-Celebrating the giving of the Torah. That is why people were gathered together in Jerusalem from all over, they were there to celebrate the feast of weeks, the giving of the Torah. I want to highlight this statement from my Jewish resource here: "The Passover freed us physically from bondage, but the giving of the Torah on Shavu'ot redeemed us spiritually from our bondage to idolatry and immorality." We can see that Jesus came and brought Messianic fulfillment to the feasts of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. In his sacrifice, death, and resurrection, he freed us from the penalty of death for our sins. He freed us from the bondage we were in, setting our souls free from everlasting punishment. And, here fifty days later, on Pentecost, the day of celebrating the giving of the Torah, God's law written on stone, God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts. In giving us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, God wrote his law on our hearts. No longer do we have to abide by the letter of the Law, which leads to death, but we follow the Spirit who brings life.
III. How did Peter preach that first evangelistic message?
Peter just told them the facts. He connected them to Christ in their sanctioning the actions against him in his crucifixion and death. He gives God the glory in raising Christ from the dead. He shows very simply the prophecies and their fulfillment. He didn't spend twenty hours crafting his message. He didn't show fancy video clips or lead with a poem. He stood up, he told them the truth, and it brought them to their knees. That is not the work of man, that is the work of the Holy Spirit through Peter, and the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of those who were listening.
On the day that the Torah was given to the Israelites, 3,000 men died because of their treachery in worshiping the golden calf (Exodus 32). On the day that God gave his Holy Spirit, 3,000 people came to know Christ, to accept his sacrifice and were saved from everlasting punishment. This was the first wave of new believers. And we are connected to them by what Peter says in verse 39. We, too, have been promised salvation if we will repent and believe, and we have been promised the Holy Spirit to guide us as we follow our Lord Christ.
If you have not repented from your sins and received Christ's free gift of salvation, I would encourage you to do so now. You don't have to say fancy words, just admit that you are not perfect, that you have done things that you know are wrong. Admit that you can't fix those wrong decisions, those wrong actions, that you need help, that you need a savior. Tell Jesus that you are willing to accept his free gift of salvation and that you believe that he did die on the cross, and raise again to life on the third day. Thank him for his willing sacrifice on your behalf and trust that if you have done this, he has heard you. The promise to us if we will do this is eternal life, starting with your life right now. We receive power to walk through life victorious no matter what is going on around us. We have power to live abundantly, the life God wants for each of us.

The Machine That Changed the World (1990) reveals the secret that propelled Japanese car manufacturer Toyota to the forefront of the global automobile industry, a process called lean production. These blinks give you an inside look at the industry's early history and show how Toyota's innovative process allowed the company to dominate the market.
The automobile industry has grown tremendously since the early days of the "horseless carriage," first patented by Karl Benz in 1886.
There's good reason the automobile industry is often called the "industry of industries." In 2014 alone, some 90 million cars and commercial vehicles were produced. The automobile industry as a whole represents the world's largest manufacturing activity. Let's look at how this came to be.
In its early days, the auto industry was defined by craft production, meaning that highly skilled engineers and manufacturers tailored each individual car to a customer's taste. This was slow and expensive, thus few people could afford cars – and only some 1,000 vehicles were produced yearly.
Only luxury cars are produced via craft production today. In general, the industry has moved to mass production. Inspired by Henry Ford, this change came about at the end of the twentieth century.
Henry Ford simply sought to produce more cars in less time. He realized he could achieve this by designing cars with the same, interchangeable parts and producing the parts separately, instead of working on a whole car at once.
The development of the assembly line further accelerated the manufacturing process. An early assembly line was a moving belt with workers stationed at different spots along it; each worker performed one or two simple tasks, over and over again. These basic tasks didn't require highly specialized skills, and in fact, many assembly-line workers were immigrants who spoke little English.
The automatization of the production process meant that cars were no longer customized (or were customized very little), but instead offered a great advantage: any person could drive or even repair them, just by following a standard 150-page manual!
