Foundation Service 2017
Audio Player
On this Foundation Sunday, it is good to remember why Jesmond Parish Church was founded 156 years ago in 1861. It was founded to be …
"a central point for the maintenance and promulgation of sound, Scriptural and Evangelical truth".
And how important those words are for us today in a 'post-truth' world! For now you have to define what you mean by 'truth'. Thankfully, our founders did just that when they said, it is, "sound, Scriptural and Evangelical" truth. Those three adjectives are so significant. Let me explain.
First, the truth is to be 'evangelical'. That means it is 'gospel' truth or the truth that is the 'good news' relating to Jesus. And that is because, as Article XVIII of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, says (quoting Scripture) there is "only the Name of Jesus Christ, whereby men must be saved."
But the question then is which Jesus Christ? People have constructed, over the years, many different 'Jesuses'. They have often made up an idea of Jesus to suit their own liking. Well, our founders answered that question. They said that sound scholarship means it has to be the Jesus of the Bible. For that is the Apostolic book of first hand contemporary witnesses to Jesus. It can't be some 21st century caricature based on the bits of the Bible modern people like. So the truth has to be not only evangelical but "Scriptural [or biblical] and Evangelical".
However, nowadays in our pluralistic world, it is fashionable to be "Scriptural" or "biblical" but still come up with quite non-biblical views. So the question is, how do you interpret the Bible? Again our founders were clear. They said you need to have not only "Scriptural and Evangelical truth", but "sound, Scriptural and Evangelical truth". And what does that mean? Well, for Anglicans it is the way of interpreting the Bible as expressed in Article XX of the Thirty-nine. That Article contains the sentence which says:
" … it is not lawful for the Church to ordain any thing that is contrary to God's Word written, neither may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to another."
That is to say, while of course, there is not to be any forced harmonization, there is to be a common sense reading of the Bible as a whole, and not just parts of it that you like. So you interpret the Old Testament in the light of the New Testament, but also the New in the light of the Old. And it is that - "Sound Scriptural and Evangelical truth" – that this church was founded to "maintain and promulgate (or promote or spread abroad)". Well so much by way of introduction.
In the rest of our time this morning I want us to look at our New Testament reading set for this morning, Jude 17-25, which is all about "maintaining Sound Scriptural and Evangelical truth." This passage and Jude's whole letter is particularly relevant for our 2017 Foundation Service; for 2017 sees the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation. For it was in 1517 that Martin Luther nailed his 95 religious theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg in Germany. And that lit the touch paper setting alight the whole Reformation of the Church in Europe and then beyond. However, it was Martin Luther who once famously said – or he has been paraphrased as saying from what he wrote elsewhere – the following:
"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Him. Where the battle rages there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battle front besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point."
And, sadly, the battle front in the Church of England this year relates to sexual and gender morality. Jude's letter is particularly for just such a situation. It deals with people not maintaining but denying Christ and biblical sexual ethics. And I have just two headings this morning, first, 'The Need to Maintain Sound, Scriptual and Evangelical Truth' and secondly, 'How to Maintain Sound, Scriptual and Evangelical Truth'.
The Need to Maintain Sound, Scriptual and Evangelical Truth
Look at Jude 17-19:
"But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, 'In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.' It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit."
Just some background to this epistle: it was written by Jude, and the most likely 'Jude' is Jesus' brother. And he was compelled to write because the Christian faith – its doctrinal and ethical basis – was under threat. So he is telling early Christians that, verse 3, they need to "contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints." And the reason is that subtly, verse 4,
"certain people have crept in unnoticed … ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality."
They may have been saying that sexual intercourse was essentially not procreational, but recreational. After all God is a God of grace; he gives us freedom in Christ; so do what you like sexually. We don't know the precise details of these teachers or teaching. But we know there was this teaching leading to sexual licence in a number of New Testament churches and not least in the church in Corinth. Also in Revelation 2 we have details of the church in Thyatira, where the problem was a woman called Jezebel. She was positively encouraging sex outside marriage. And, of course, sadly such teaching has now come into the churches of the West and is with us today in the UK. A starting point was in the 1960s and has just mushroomed since. The sexualization of churches can be quite shocking. But, in one sense, you shouldn't be shocked. That is because you were told to expect this sort of thing happening by the apostles as verses 17 and 18 say:
"But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, 'In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions'."
Certainly Peter taught the same in 2 Peter. Also Paul's last message to the Ephesian elders included these words:
"I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them." (Acts 20.29-30)
And Paul wrote to Timothy about such false teachers. However, what specifically can we say about Jude's false teachers? Let me mention five things.
First, they seemed perfectly normal because, verse 4, they "crept in unnoticed" and they were described in verse 12 as "hidden reefs". On the surface things seemed good. So you just couldn't see the bad beneath. These people may well have talked fluently about God's grace and love, and Jesus' example of love, and how Christians should love one another and the danger of legalism and the law. They could have sounded so orthodox. I once heard a bishop, the leader, certainly the figure-head, of the New Theology and New Morality movement in the UK in the early 1960s. He was preaching on Galatians 5.1:
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
It was, in one sense, 'truth', and sounded good. For that verse clearly is true. It was "Evangelical", for that verse is good news about Christ. It was certainly "Scriptural" – it is part of Paul's letter to the Galatians. But it was not "sound" Scriptural and Evangelical truth. For it must not be preached on its own, in a way that allows you to do anything your sexual instincts desire. That is repugnant to all the teaching in the Bible about the holiness of God and his righteousness. Indeed, you have some of that holiness teaching later on in Galatians 5.19 which lists the works of the flesh. And what does it say are the first three? Answer: "sexual immorality, impurity and sensuality". And the Bishops of the Church of England in a report once summarized the teaching of the Bible so well as to exclude any such New Morality. They wrote:
"There is … in Scripture an evolving convergence on the ideal of lifelong, monogamous, heterosexual union as the setting intended by God for the proper development of men and women as sexual beings. Sexual activity of any kind outside marriage comes to be seen as sinful, and homosexual practice as especially dishonourable."
So, first, the teaching of these people seemed good, but in reality it was bad. Then, secondly, these people seemed witty and probably were good company. Verse 18 describes them as "scoffers". However, that translates a rare word, used nowhere else in the New Testament except in 2 Peter. Others translate it as "mockers"; another as people "not taking things seriously" or "treating things as a joke". Of course, the more you make something a joke, it lowers its value and the easier it is to treat it casually. That is certainly true of sex. And, also, when arguing theoretically, 'wit' is so powerful. If in a debate you can make someone who holds the biblical view on sex look silly, you will gain considerable support for your liberal views for casual sex of all sorts.
Yes, thirdly, verse 18's reference to "their own ungodly passions" seems to have been, indeed, 'sex of all sorts'. Again without going into detail, verses 5-7 suggest these folk were justifying total sexual licence - from plain heterosexual fornication, to unnatural or ritual sex, to homosexual sex.
And, fourthly, verse 19 is blunt, "it is these who cause divisions". It is the false teachers who cause church splits and impairments of communion; not the biblically faithful people. We've experienced that in this Anglican diocese.
And, fifthly, the ultimate cause of all the trouble, is that these people, for all their appearance and subtlety are, verse 19, spiritually dead and utterly worldly. They need to repent and be converted. So – the faithful people Jude was writing to certainly needed to work to maintain "Sound Scriptural and Evangelical truth". But how? Well, that brings us to our second heading,
How to Maintain Sound, Scriptual and Evangelical Truth
Jude teaches that for maintaining such truth there has to be a twofold response. First, there needs to be personal spiritual growth on the part of the faithful (it's not to be all criticizing other people) and, secondly, compassionate action with regard to those who have been confused by false teachers. First, then, personal spiritual growth. Look at verses 20 and 21:
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life."
So Jude here is saying four things are needed:
One, you need to build yourselves up in your most holy faith. So you need to make sure that, together with others, you are on top of what you believe and not least how and why your faith is "most holy" (as it says here) in its doctrine and ethics. For it is in contrast to the unholy and degrading beliefs and practices of much of the modern West, as it was in the ancient Roman world. Today what was once stigmatized as immoral behaviour and even punished, is now not only tolerated but privileged. Conversely, while what was once regarded as moral is now stigmatized and punished, witness the McArthur family. Their baking company was punished for refusing to decorate a cake with a pro-gay marriage campaign slogan.
However, to build yourself up in your most holy faith takes effort. According to your need, it can involve making use of Christianity Explored, Discipleship Explored, other JPC groups, the Christian Institute's pamphlets and booklets on modern ethical issues, my Coloured Supplements that are in the Newsletter and then on our website and other resources. You may find those helpful. It is a psychological fact that unless you are convinced in your own mind, you will never be able to take a private, much less a public, stand for your Christian faith, particularly on these sexual ethical issues. That is why you need to build yourself up in your most holy faith, as Jude says.
Two, Jude says, verse 20, you are to be "praying in the Holy Spirit". That is according to the Holy Spirit's will and for the Holy Spirit's wisdom and then for his power and courage. How vital that is! Jesus said, "apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15.5). And the Holy Spirit needs to make that union with Jesus real. And he needs to open blind eyes and soften hard hearts. For it is so true, as some of our 16th century Reformers well knew, namely, that what the heart desires, the will chooses and the mind rationalizes.
Then, three, and above all you are told, verse 21, to "keep yourselves in the love of God." That is God's love for you that in turn generates your love for him and for others. For as Cranmer, the main drafter of the Anglican Thirty-nine Articles, wrote in his Homily on Salvation:
"the right and true Christian faith is … to have a sure trust and confidence in God's merciful promises to be saved from everlasting damnation by Christ: whereof doth follow a loving heart to obey his commandments."
Who needs to learn that truth this morning – that God loves you and wants the best for you, and most of all to save you for all eternity through Christ's death for your sins? Well, says Archbishop Cranmer, if you truly believe that, you will repent of all your failings and sin. And then out of love and good will towards God, you will obey God and do good, and so help towards changing the world for the better.
And, four, you are, verse 21, to be "waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life." You are to be living ready for heaven when Christ returns at the end of time. That is a great motivator to stop false teaching and maintain the truth, so that others too can have that same hope of Christ's mercy and eternal life. So Jude says first for maintaining the truth, verses 20-21:
"beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life."
But, secondly, he says there needs to be compassionate action. Look at verses 22-23:
"And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh."
The original text here is unclear. But the gist is clear enough. Jude, earlier, in verses 4-16 has been quite ruthless with the false teachers. The only place in the New Testament where there is such horror and denunciation of false teachers, is in Jesus' attack on Jewish religious leaders in Matthew 23. But Jude writes now in a totally different tone for people being seduced by false teachers, yet still trying to be faithful. For such, he says, it is essential to show mercy. He is saying similar to what Paul writes in Galatians 6.1:
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness."
But Paul then adds: "Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." And so Jude here also says, "Show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh." Jude is saying, 'Hate the sin, but love the sinner but be careful that you don't lose, by familiarity, your hatred of what is polluted.' And when necessary, he is saying, 'take appropriate drastic action'. For you have to "save others by snatching them out of the fire". These are all metaphors or picture language. But I am sure you can apply them to situations you know about.
I must conclude. The year ahead, I think, may be turbulent, in the Church and in the State. And in the Church and in the State I am sure at JPC we are being called at one and the same time both to maintain but also promulgate as never before "Sound Scriptural and Evangelical truth" and contend for it – fight for it but peacefully. That is daunting; but you and I can have great confidence; and that is as we trust in the one to whom Jude finally prays in verses 24 and 25:
"to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and for ever. Amen."

Description of problem:
At the moment when selecting Latin from the GIMLET, it provides two option,
default and UnitLE. Default is actually a dummy LE while UnitLE perform the
Latin conversion. I think Latin should conform to the convention used by other
languages/locale by separating default and UnitLE.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add Latin from the GIMLET editor
2.Select Latin from GIMLET
Actual results:
Latin provides 2 options
Expected results:
Latin provides no options perhaps
Additional info:
So this is a default LE bug/rfe then.
depends on the implementation of gimlet. default LE is just designed to be used
on en_* locale. and labeling it to Latin is matter of gimlet. I'm not sure if
there is any way to separate them without referring the supported locale or with
other thing except the supported locale.
Ok, changing the locale name of default LE would make defaultLE unused,
so until defaultLE can be dropped, we need to workaround this in gimlet instead.
Perhaps a workaround for now would be to hide defaultLE in gimlet
if unitLE if installed.

"We had our home listed with another real estate firm for eleven months. In that time frame, we were not able to sell our home even with countless price reductions. When we listed with Cici, our home sold in four months. Her approach was different as she was more concerned with how to market the home in a depressed economy rather than continuing to reduce the price. She has access to the latest social networking tools that gives your home the greatest exposure. Networking is the key, and she knows all of the right contacts."
"We chose Cici and her team to list our home because of their community knowledge, experience, extensive network, access to the latest real estate marketing tools and reputation. They sold our home in four months, when our previous real estate agency had the listing for eleven. Being on site at the Marsh Landing Country Club is a great advantage. Their ability to offer a free membership to the club is an added bonus."
-Paul and Josie
"The purpose of this letter is to heap mountains of praise on David Darch. He is simply an outstanding representative, not only of Marsh Landing Country Club Realty, but of the human race. I believe he could get a Dale Carnegie franchise if he wanted one."
As you might expect, we have purchased homes before, even second homes. We have never dealt with anyone who combined the qualities of enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, competence, and follow-through the way this young man does. In fact, our children are already sick of hearing about him."
-Robert L. Strickland
Working with Cici Anderson and her team at Marsh Landing Country Club Realty has been an absolute pleasure. We have had several opportunities to work together and have found Cici and her team to be knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated. Cici is willing to go above and beyond to do whatever it takes to make sure her listings are in their best condition during the selling process and at the closing. We look forward to working with her in the future.

Catalans Dragons 20 Warrington Wolves 14: Unfancied French side cause massive Challenge Cup upset as Steve McNamara leads club to Wembley success
Dragons defied the odds against the Super League leaders to become the first team from outside of England to lift the trophy in its 122-year history
DRAGON HEARTS, Allez Cats — and history — making heroes wherever you look.
It certainly has been one unforgettable summer for the French.
Catalans Dragons, less than 12 months after surviving a play-off final to save their Super League lives, are Challenge Cup winners.
The first trophy in this Perpignan-based club's existence and the first time rugby league's most famous trophy has left English shores.
And boy, oh-boy don't Steve McNamara's men deserve every ounce of praise showered upon them.
At times delightful, constantly determined — and eventually the most dogged line of French resistance this sport has ever witnessed to see them home.
OK, it may be small beer compared to their better-known footballing countrymen hoisting the World Cup aloft in Russia last month.
But to everyone associated with this club which has had to fight tooth and nail for its very existence, it was vintage bubbly.
And you know what? From the second they went in front with barely two minutes on the clock, they never looked like being beaten.
That lead came when winger Lewis Tierney — son of rugby legend and a try-scoring Challenge Cup-winner, Jason Robinson — slid over in the corner.
WEMBLEY WOWS OR WOES Who had a belter or blundered? SunSport's Challenge Cup final ratings
Sami Langi's towering kick slipped through Stefan Ratchford's hands and Ben Jullien popped up the crucial final ball for the 23-year-old.
If that was something of a family affair for Tierney, there was an even greater one in the performance of full-back Tony Gigot, the greatest of all Dragon heroes.
Last year, his brother Sam — now with Spartak Moscow — was in the Gent side which ended Tottenham's Europa League dreams here.
While that was a momentous night for the Belgian side, they did not leave the national stadium with winners' medals.
Tony certainly did — and the Lance Todd trophy, too.
His brilliant 40-20 kick five minutes into the second half turned a defensive position into an attacking one and set up the move which saw Brayden Wiliame slide over.
Catalans were suddenly 14 points clear and Warrington, way below their best, were on the ropes.
The fact they were had come about courtesy of a burrowing, close-range try from Ben Garcia to reopen an eight-point gap after Ben Murdoch-Masila had finally got Wire on the board.
Murdoch-Masila's try — a scoot under the posts — came after Fouad Yaha lost Ratchford's kick under pressure from Toby King and normal service, it seemed, was resumed. But then Garcia gave the French side breathing space again, Wiliame added a little more, and the Dragons were in dreamland.
Surely they had enough daylight now? Surely they had the strength and energy to see out Warrington's final desperate push?
Well, you began to doubt it a little when the otherwise impeccable Josh Drinkwater spilled Kevin Brown's kick and Tyrone Roberts handed George King a walk-in.
Tom Lineham went closer, Ben Westwood spilled a bullet pass with the line gaping and the Wolves
sniffed blood.
JU WHAT Catalans' Ben Jullien reveals he lived in a uni hall of residence at Warrington
When Roberts' penalty from in front of the sticks cut the gap to six points, they smelled it even more.
In fairness, had Warrington turned the result around, it would have been one of the most unjust outcomes in this competition's illustrious history.
For, just like St Helens' team of all-stars in the semi-final three weeks ago, they spent the vast majority of this game as a poor second.
The Dragons, meanwhile, showed yet again how they are a world away from the side which lost nine of its first 11 Super League games this season.
There is steel where there was once sand. There is belief where once there were blunders.
And as much as Wire suddenly pounded the line to desperately try and pull it out of the fire — and they did just that — the French resistance was unbreakable.
Truly a momentous day in the history of this game.

(BDO) is keeping its doors open to the possibility of helping in the rehabilitation of Export and Industry Bank. Negotiations between BDO and Export Bank began as early as 2009, but that petered out despite obtaining regulators' approval last year. "Our acquisition of Export Bank was conditional on the settlement of certain legal issues that to this date remain outstanding," said BDO President Nestor Tan. "Should we be invited, we are willing to help in the rehabilitation of the bank," he added. Export Bank has been having financial woes for years after buying failed Urban Bank in 2001. Export Bank declared a bank holiday on Friday, a day after it informed the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) that it was unable to meet its maturing obligations. Also on Friday, BSP deputy governor Nestor Espenilla Jr. said in an interview with ANC that the bank has been having problems for some time now. He also explained in a text message to ANC why the negotiations for a rescue package from BDO Unibank did not push through. "BDO informed us they no longer wished to pursue the transaction because of unresolved legal issues involving EIB (Export & Industry Bank) which they didn't wish to get dragged into plus the fact that delays caused further financial deterioration in EIB that made it unattractive for them to continue," Espenilla said. -- Report from ANC Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter LinkedIn Business,Top Stories,BDO,bank holiday,export and industry bank,export bank Read More: BDO bank holiday export and industry bank export bank

An impressive collection of foals and sport horses will go under the hammer at the second edition of the Excellent Dressage Sales held with support of the KWPN society at the 2017 World Young Horse Championships in Ermelo, the Netherlands, on 5 August 2017. The organisation selected twenty-one top foals and seven sport horses. For the first time, this year's collection includes an embryo.
The unique partnership between the KWPN and the EDS organisation, consisting of Nico Witte, Joop van Uytert, Joep Schellekens and Tim Coomans, generated a turnover of more than 1.7 million euro. The auction is organised during the World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young horses, that takes place in Ermelo from 3 - 6 August 2017.
Interesting bloodlines
"Last year we already had a solid collection with horses such as Four Legends, several international sport horses and the incredible mover Lady Jane. It is evident that the bar was set high, yet we succeeded to compose an even better overall collection. We selected a collection that caters for all tastes," says the organisation.
An eye-catching name in the collection is the stallion Barroso (s.Bordeaux). The approved stallion that competes on behalf of Belgium, qualified himself through three victories in the selection rounds for the World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses. The selected foals originate from established lineages. The KWPN-stallion Toto Jr. provides two offspring: Macho (ds.Charmeur) and Movie Star Texel (ds.Negro). Out of the dam of the recently KWPN-approved stallion Just Wimphof we have Macho van de Wimphof, a spectacular moving colt by Franklin. Last year, the full brother of Valegro moved to a new stable for 50.000 euro. This year an embryo out of the full sister of Valegro paired with the stallion Painted Black, will be for sale in the auction. A highly interesting combination for every dressage enthusiast.
Franklin main supplier
Featuring five of his offspring in the EDS collection makes the KWPN-approved stallion Franklin (s.Ampere) the main supplier. Each and every one of his daughters and sons are endowed with a remarkable conformation and strong movement techniques. One of the descendants is the mare J'Adore, she received no less than 80 points for conformation and 80 points for movement at the studbook inspections. She moves with a lot of technique, displays great hind leg use and lots of expression. J'Adore scored 85 points for both her trot and canter. And there are more potential candidates for the National Mare Championships: Jindy (s.Ferdaux) obtained the top score of the day with 80/85 at the studbook inspections in Wamel and also the mare Jendelin (s.Charmeur) raises the expectations with her strong type, appealing front and suppleness.

CBP Identifies Country of Origin of Roasted Coffee
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a final determination concerning the country of origin of certain roasted coffee that may be offered to the U.S. government under an undesignated government procurement contract. Any party-at-interest may seek judicial review of this determination by Dec. 21. CBP issues country of origin advisory rulings and final determinations as to whether an article is or would be a product of a designated country or instrumentality for the purposes of granting waivers of certain "Buy American" restrictions in U.S. law or practice for products offered for sale to the U.S. government.
The coffee under consideration is produced from raw green coffee beans imported into either Canada or the U.S. in their natural caffeinated state or decaffeinated. The decaffeination of the beans is a separate process that occurs in a country on the Designated Country list in 48 CFR § 52.225-5(a) prior to importation into Canada or the U.S. Once imported into Canada or the U.S., the green beans, caffeinated and decaffeinated, undergo a roasting and packaging process.
CBP indicates that for more than 30 years it has recognized that roasting green coffee beans substantially transforms the beans into a new and different article of commerce. Accordingly, the roasting of the green coffee beans is deemed to substantially transform the beans into either a product of Canada or a product of the U.S. for purposes of government procurement.

Translation for 2.2
For the translation update of the OpenOffice.org 2.2 version a number of native language Community has volunteered to contribute to the translation work of approx. 5000 words for which Sun usually provides translation:
The Communities who have adhered to this initiative are:
- the NL Community
- the French Community
- the Germanophone Community
- the Italian Community
- the Spanish Community
- the Brazilian Community
- the Swedish Community
Translation start date: January 4th Translation delivery date: January 18th at noon CET
Release Map with translation deadlines specific for the 2.2 release can be found at: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease22
The files to be translated by the Community members will be in the xlz file format (sdf files converted into xlz files) and will be delivered as zip file attached to a l10n issue. The translation tool the Communities have agreed to use is the Open Language Tool which they have already used for previous translations. Once the Communities have finalized the translation of the files, they will return the issue to the submitter attaching the translated files. The Language Leads will then perform some additional review on the translated files and will provide their feedback to the n-l communities via QA matrix attached to the issue. No changes will be carried out in the files translated by the community members unless there is a common agreement on the changes. Changes in the translated files which are not exlicitely declared as show stopper in Issue Tracker will be integrated into the next release.
Tips and Tools
build a team of translators and 1-2 reviewers to work on the project. I recommend to keep the number of the reviewers to 1-2 people, since the more translators and reviewers working on the project, the less you can ensure quality and consistency. For all the above language there is a Sun Language Lead who may consulted in case of language related questions.
SunGloss (https://g11nportal.sun.com/sungloss) is the repository of the latest terminology used in the StarOffice/OpenOffice.org product. You can request access to consult the tool. We recommend to use SunGloss instead of a spreadsheet because it shows all entries (including deleted entries that were used but not anymore). In this way it's possible for all to look at the evolution of a translation, and discuss about it when it's needed, especially during the review process.
The translation tool OLT can be found at: https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net. A quick guide on how to use the tool can be found at: http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/global/technology/translation/downloads/QuickGuide_XLIFF_T9n_Editor.pdf

Consultation closed Friday 17 April 2020.
As Australia's dedicated statutory regulator for all heavy vehicles above 4.5 tonnes—with a direct regulatory relationship with all levels of government and the heavy vehicle industry—we are uniquely positioned to coordinate a national approach to addressing Australia's growing road freight task.
The Draft Heavy Vehicle Productivity Plan 2020–2025 (the Draft Plan) contributes to a national agenda for improving access and productivity. It is directed by three objectives, which resulted from extensive literature research and pre-submission consultation with government and industry stakeholders:
Objective 1: Provide access certainty and consistency
Objective 2: Partner with local government to build capability
Objective 3: Promote safer and more productive vehicles that are better for the environment and communities.
The development of the Draft Plan was also informed by the Commonwealth Government's National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, Review of Oversize Overmass Access Arrangements (OSOM Review), state and territory government freight plans and strategies, and work by the National Transport Commission and Austroads.
The Draft Plan aligns with and complements the heavy vehicle and road freight objectives identified by our government partners, inclusive of how we intend to implement aspects of agreed recommendations where the NHVR is a relevant and suitably responsible party.
Importantly, the Draft Plan also confirms our commitment to supporting government partners to deliver some of their initiatives.
Why we're consulting
The purpose of this consultation is to seek feedback on the Draft Plan from government and industry stakeholders. This feedback will be used to:
- inform the final Plan and develop the accompanying Action Plan, with the release date of these currently expected to be in mid-2020
- refine the objectives, goals and proposed actions
- estimate timeframes for deliverables
- nominate relevant stakeholders with whom the NHVR will partner to deliver certain actions.
Key documents
Making a submission
There is no prescribed format or maximum length for submissions, which may contain facts, opinions, arguments or recommendations.
Submissions over three pages in length should include a summary of key comments and recommendations at the beginning.
Submissions must be submitted via email to email@example.com by 5pm AEST Friday 13 March 2020.
The NHVR cannot guarantee that submissions received after close of submissions will be considered.
Publication of submissions
Unless clearly indicated (e.g. marked 'IN CONFIDENCE' or 'CONFIDENTIAL'), submissions received may be made public at the NHVR's discretion.
The NHVR will consider all submissions received by close of submissions, whether published or not.
The NHVR reserves the right to edit or redact part or all of a submission, or withhold a submission from publication on any grounds, including, but not limited to, offensive language, potentially defamatory material or copyright infringing material.

At the beginning of August, Atheist Community of Austin President Matt Dillahunty held a public debate with Blake Giunta, owner of apologetics site Belief Map. The debate was around whether or not Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead after his crucifixion.
After there was an initial argument from both parties over the validity/problems with the claim, they had a rebuttal section, and then open questions from the audience. While there was plenty of time to rebut some of the claims on either end, there were a number of issues Giunta's argument presented which were not addressed. I understand the need to point out how illogical a number of conclusions are, based on the scientific and historical methods, but there are issues with Giunta's theology as well.
To start, Giunta frequently made reference to Luke being an unbiased historian, including having accurate documentation of following Paul of Tarsus around. Except scholarship, and a simple examination between Paul's writing and Luke's, demonstrates quite the contrary.
To start, in Acts 11 (Acts having been written by the author of Luke), Peter is alleged to have been proselytizing to the Gentiles. "So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers [read: Jews] criticized him, saying 'Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?'…And they praised God, saying, 'Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.'" (Acts 11) Meanwhile, in Galatians, an authentic letter of Paul, it says "When [Peter] first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterwards, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter's hypocrisy…" (2:11-13)
There is also the discrepancy of Paul being blinded on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-9) and simply receiving a vision of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Galatians 1:11-16). There is very little evidence to suggest that the author of Luke-Acts ever had contact with Paul, let alone accompanied him in his travels. Randel McCraw Helms writes, in his book Who Wrote the Gospels?, that it may have been Luke had found some type of written account from Paul, but it is unlikely they ever spoke with or saw one another.
Giunta also made claims that knowledge of political leaders, names of islands, and so on, somehow dictate that the author of Luke-Acts somehow knew Paul, which is questionable at best. Giunta never suggests how knowledge of that information, true or not, makes a definitive connection between the author and Paul. However, he also makes the point that Acts 2, the story of Pentecost, has roots in Jerusalem. Again, with no suggestion as to why this is relevant, it is hard to understand Giunta's point. The only connection that this story may have had to Jerusalem was the idea that this narrative had implicit references to Genesis (2:2 calls back to creation at Genesis 1:2, and 2:6 is a reference to Genesis 11:1-9).
Giunta also emphasizes, several times, that Luke-Acts is dependent on previous material, so it must have a background in the historical record. Except we have plenty of documents, included in the Bible, reliant on earlier, external sources that are not historical or natural. Take, for example, the flood narrative. It is very dependent on other ancient Near Eastern myths, like the Enuma Elish epic from Mesopotamia. It is a myth story, with a number of common Near Eastern myth motifs, and it is anything but a historically accurate account. So, to argue that dependence on earlier material establishes historical reliability very much misses the mark.
These points, among several others Giunta makes, do not touch the resurrection story by any stretch of the imagination. I am of the opinion Giunta was more invested in establishing a sense of reliability with the texts in order to demonstrate, vicariously, that the resurrection account was accurate. However, this is like establishing evolution as fact and hoping that people then understand our cosmological origins. Both can be proven, just not by the same resources.
When Giunta finally does get to the resurrection, he argues for a physical resurrection. The problem, aside from seeing that Luke ends with Jesus resurrection and ascension happening the same day (24:50-53) as opposed to forty days later in Acts (1:6-11), is that Paul argues for a spiritual resurrection while Luke-Acts argues for a physical resurrection. The aforementioned passages from Paul discuss a "revelation" of a spiritual Jesus; Jesus is shown to him by God. However, Luke has Jesus eat fish and break bread with his followers (24:41-43).
What it comes down to is, even with the points that Giunta makes that go unchallenged, he holds no information that demonstrates any conclusive evidence for a resurrection. Spiritual or otherwise.

The WMI provider host process is one of the most important parts of the Windows operating system, a usually runs in the background. The WMI provider allows other applications on your computer to request define information about your system.
Normally this process should use so many resources, but it may use a lot of CPU usage if another processing system is behaving badly. Dehradun some reports that sometimes the process in SAP using more than 50{137a873b2d9138859eae9d5c718c98138c1a71dbc3d82afc80077fe147b2cf37} of your CPU power, special event media application are in use.
The WMI Provider Host : Fix High CPU Usage
The WMI in the WMI provider host stands for "Windows Management Instrumentation". This is one type of Windows feature that provides a standard way for software and administrative script to request information about the different state of your Windows operating system and the different data on it.
The WMI provider host provides this type of information when requested, like when is software command could not find information about the state of a BitLocker drive encryption, view entries from the event log or recover data from install application that include a WMI provider.
Microsoft has lifted the included WMI provide on their website. Use the WMI to find different types of useful pieces of information that are not normally exposed in the windows interface on your PC. Like when we have covered the WMI command line tool or WMIC to get the pieces serial number odd even find the motherboard model number or to see the health status of the hard drive.
The service WMI provider host or WmiPrvSE.exe is an acronym for windows management instrumentation provider service which you will find in this executable file name. this is a very important service it would be tough to manage various application without this process. if this process stops when you are the system functionality will become useless and you will even receive various notification for various error.
The reason behind the high usage of CPU by the WMI Provider Host
The WMI provider host normally does not use too much of CPU, and it should not normally be doing anything. it will occasionally you some CPU when another PC software script on your PC ask for information via WMI. high CPU usage is likely to be a sign of another application is requesting data via WMI.
But the continuous high uses of CPU is a sign of something wrong. As normally the WMI provider host should not be using a lot of CPU sources all the time. Restarting the WMI provider host service miss all the usage of security services all the time and relieve it from the stuck in a bad state.
Steps to restart the WMI Provider Host in your Windows PC
You could just reboot your computer but there is another way to restart the service without restarting your computer. To restart the WMI provider host follow these following steps.
- Open the start menu and type "Services.msc" unprecedented to launch the services tool.
- locate the windows management instrumentation service in the list and right click on it and from the drop-down menu select restart.
- If you see the high CPU usage then most likely that another process on a system is behaving badly. if a process is constantly requesting a large amount to information from the Windows management instrumentation service causes the WMI Provider Host process to use a lot of CPU.
- to identify which basic process is causing the problem with WMI to use the event viewer. On Windows 8 or 10 you can and right click the start button and select the event viewer. On Windows 7 open start menu and type "Eventvwr.msc" and press enter to launch it.
- On the left side of the event, viewer window navigate to the applications and service logs\Microsoft\Windows\WMI-Activity\Operational.
- nurse call to the list and look for the recent error events. Nakli Kaun Ritchie when you look for the number to the right of "ClientProcessId" in the bottom pane. This tells the ID number of the processes to cause the WMI error.
- You will see several errors here, errors may be caused by same process ID number or may see different process ID causing the errors. Click the error and see what the client processed is to find out.
- Now you pin down a process that may be causing the problem, first, you need to open the task manager window by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape or by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting task manager.
- Now click on the details tab and click on the 'PID' column to sort running process by process ID locate the process matching the ID number that appeared in the event viewer logs.
- The processes closed even see in the list here, and also when the program close and reopen it will also have the different process ID number. That is the reason you need to look for recent events, as the process ID number for older events in the event viewer won't help you find anything.
- Now you know which process may be causing the problem you can search for its name on the way and find out the software associated with it. Now just right click on the process in the list and click on the open file location to open its location on your PC. This opens you the largest software package the program is part of and you may need to update that software if you use it or else you can uninstall it if you don't.
Is it possible to disable WMI provider host?
Yes, it is possible to disable the windows management instrumentation service on your PC. But this may break many different things from your PC because this is an important part of the Windows operating system and should not be disabled.
The official description for the service states "if this service is stopped, the most Windows-based software will not function properly". So it's better to leave it alone but if you are having a problem with it you need to identify the process on your computer that causing the WMI provider host to use so much CPU and update remover disable that process instead.
Methods to Troubleshoot the high CPU usage of the WMI Provider Host
This of the following methods to troubleshoot the high CPU usage of the WMI Provider Host. Whenever you see it using the high CPU than simply run services.msc and restart the windows management instrumentation service. Still, this doesn't help you then follow this following step to troubleshoot.
- Run the system maintenance troubleshooter buy opening Run, then type this following command msdt.exe -if MaintenanceDiagnostic press enter on your keyboard.

To do so open command prompt by searching the command prompt in the search bar which is present in the Windows 10 and type the following command on the black screen which opens up msdt.exe /id PerformanceDiagnostic to run the performance troubleshooter.
- This troubleshooter helps the user adjust the settings to improve operating system speed and performance.
- If the above two steps fail to help you with the high CPU usage rectified then you need to boot the system in safe mode with networking.
- If the system works fine in safe mode then you need to perform a clean boot. To do so we are provided a guide below about how to do boot in safe mode and also how to boot in clean boot.
- Still, if this state does not solve the issue of the high CPU uses because of the WMI provider host. Nutcase you need to identify the opening process by using the event viewer then use it to identify the error.

- Then follow this calling direction, go to applications and service logs > Microsoft > Windows > WMI activity, locate the operational log for WMI. now search for the possible errors and note down the client process ID.
- Now open Task Manager > Services tab and click on PID to arrange the processes by PID.
- Now find the process with the matching process ID under. This process is causing WMI to use excessive CPU.

Launching a business is a difficult task, but it's even harder when you're new to the business world because you probably don't have a lot of capital to spend. That's okay! Here are a few tips on how you can launch a business even if you have little money to do so.
Keep Your Day Job
There's nothing more exciting than starting your own company. But when you're just getting started, it might be a wise idea to keep your day job. That's not to doubt your abilities! Most new businesses fail—the odds are just against you.
Don't lose your daring, entrepreneurial spirit, but remember that businessowners value one thing above all else: making money. Keep your job so that if your business falls through, you'll still have an income to fall back on, which you can use to jumpstart a new company.
Many entrepreneurs want to quit their day job immediately because they want to put all their time into getting the business going. There may be some truth in that, but it's more important to have financial security. Do your best to work on your new business before or after your day job—set a time for it each day and make a routine out of it. Remember to eat healthy, exercise, and get plenty of sleep—this will help you deal with the stress and keep from getting burnt out.
Run Your Office from Home
It's practical to work from home if you plan on keeping your day job. But there are also some pretty big financial incentives to launch your business from home. You don't have to pay for an office lease (which can be a substantial cost for businesses that have yet to develop a cash flow), and you can also claim tax deductions on a home office (read about home office deductions here).
The hardest thing about working from home is trying to avoid getting distracted—especially if you're sharing your home with family or roommates. It's important that you have an efficient home workstation where you're able to block out distractions. Try and choose a room in your home in which you can close the door and shut everything else out when it's time to work.
But what if you have employees? You can still run your business from home even if you have a few people employed. Consider moving to a larger apartment or renting a house. You can use some of the business funds to help pay for the rent, which would still probably be cheaper than leasing an office. You may also be able to give employees the option of working remotely.
Get a Loan
You might need to get financing in order to grow your business. Financing might be the only way to get the funds to develop your product, do effective marketing, and hire the employees that you need to thrive. It's possible you could find some investors that are willing to give you some cash, but most small business owners seek a loan.
Before you take out a loan, be sure that you have a clear plan on how you're going to use the money to boost your profits. You'll obviously have to pay back the loan, so you want to make sure you use your funding to increase the cash flow of your business and keep from falling into insurmountable debt.
You might find it difficult to secure a loan if you're starting your first business, since most financial institutions won't grant one unless you provide several years of financial information—which you might not have if you're just getting started in the business world. Thankfully, there are some alternative financing options for you, like stated income loans.
Focus on Digital and Local Marketing
The most cost-effective way to promote your business is through digital marketing. Build a website that's fast and secure, and be sure to include lots of keywords that your target audience might be searching for online—this is a tactic called "search engine optimization" or SEO. There are plenty of user-friendly website builders that enable you to build a solid website.
You should also setup a Yelp page for your business. When customers are pleased with your product or service, they might feel inclined to post a positive review online. This is a great way to spread word-of-mouth, especially if your company relies on local dollars. Online reviews are an important way in which you can build hype and establish your legitimacy.
Don't let a lack of funds prevent you from launching and growing your company. Just follow one or more of these tips and you'll make the most of whatever capital you have.

The Power of Faith, Prayer and Fasting
And when they came to the multitude a man came up to Him and, kneeling before Him, said "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
Then Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long shall I to bear with you? Bring him here to me." And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour.
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17:14-21
Obviously, the disciples knew Jesus; they were about His work and desiring to learn from Jesus. With all they had given up, left behind, suffered through, done without, learned from Jesus and all the miracles they had seen firsthand, still Jesus pointed out if they would have had even as much faith as a grain of mustard seed, they could have cast the demon out of the child. Jesus even pointed out some things come only by prayer and fasting. That speaks volumes and even invites us to ponder our faith level. How often do we want to hear from God enough to invest prayer and fasting?
I don't know about you but maybe for me the times I get tore down about mountains {and even little hills} in my life are because of my lack of faith in God's ability to handle the situation. No, I do not consciously say I do not trust God; however, my actions reveal my deepest thoughts. Sometimes only as a last resort I give it over to God in prayer, and I always find He has the ability to handle my little life! The times I go to God first instead of last I am closer to having that. I desire faith as a grain of mustard seed!! How about you? Do you need more faith as well?
Spend time today with God talking about your faith level. Are there things on your heart you need to hear from God on and are you willing to invest prayer and fasting?
God bless you with time with Him today, In Jesus Name Amen!

(She's on the right. This is all paint . . . trust me!!)
She watches sports with the Man of the House and laughs at me when I try to make an intelligent comment. She adores her friends. She plays Barbies and Polly Pockets by the hour with her little sister.
Is she perfect? No. No way. But she's loved. And she's becoming. Becoming more Christlike every day. Becoming more and more the woman He made her to be. Becoming more patient and gracious and kind. And that's exciting.
And, by the way, I got all these pictures off her camera, and she's going to kill me. KILL me!! Well dear, you know, when the cat's away . . .

Indie Spotlight: Valerie June
A singer-songwriter who creates self-described "organic moonshine roots music" is worth a listen, which is why Valerie June is a playlist essential. Valerie stands apart from genre restrictions through her blend of folk, soul and blues—a timeless nod to quality songwriting. Influenced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton and more, Valerie's self-taught musical skills shine in her debut album, Pushin' Against a Stone, most of which was recorded at The Black Keys's Easy Eye studio in Nashville. With rave reviews at last year's SXSW and a collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer John Forte on single "Give Me Water," there's no doubt that Valerie June's career will continue to soar.

About two weeks have gone since the horrific rape and murder of a veterinarian near Hyderabad, but the lust for revenge in a large section of the population has not died down despite the instant 'justice' meted out to the alleged perpetrators of the crime apparently executed by the subordinates of an officer with similar encounters in his record, under pressure of the Telangana government. When they hear that the hanging of the tormentors of the Delhi gang-rape of December 2012 is pending for want of an executioner in Tihar Jail, each one of them is ready to play the role of one–or so suggests their response on social media. Public memory is so pathetically short that they forget that not so long ago, they were falling over one another to 'prove' that one of the accused in the Kathua horror story was innocent. What if that young man had been shot dead by now? As things are panning out in the Unnao case, with a fresh allegation surfacing that an affair gone wrong was painted as a rape, the same set of 'right-wing' people must be asked if the accused should have been eliminated by now, with or without considering their diabolical act of burning the victim alive when she left home to attend the hearing of the case. For that matter, the way activists hijacked the issue of ill-treatment of women at workplaces in 2018, a regime of instant justice would have the offices of the country sit on a heap of dead bodies of more innocent men than the guilty by now, given that the outrage brigade is worked up less by the news of a woman's murder and more by the report of her 'dishonour'.
If 'this is the frustration of a wronged people' is how the nation tries to assure itself to rationalise the fanaticism for retributive justice, even then the shots are going all awry. Commissioner VC Sajjanar's men had no business bumping off the accused in a case that was proceeding faster than usual, with the State government having secured a separate court building, a special judge and a dedicated public prosecutor to try the four incriminated. If the claim that they had snatched the policemen's weapons and fired at the cops was not the officer's cliched response to explain every 'encounter' he has planned since 2008, the entire personnel of the Greyhounds of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Police must be trained anew how to secure their firearms. That is presuming that not only the former Maoist he killed that way but also the acid throwers 11 years ago in Warangal and the truck drivers and helpers in 2019 he eliminated knew how to use guns!
The state cannot but wash its hands of this social craving for settling scores in the name of justice. Still living the legacy of the British Raj that had stripped Indians of the right to possess weapons, government has rendered women sitting ducks. As for men, constant targeting of their masculinity by a feminist media has left them too impotent to play the role of sentinels of society, ashamed as they are of the physical attribute of strength nature had bestowed upon them. Given that the statistics of rape is worse in better-policed countries of the West, there is but no solution other than adopting a free arms regime, enabled by legislation like the United States' Second Amendment. The sense of security the possession of a firearm gives to a law-abiding citizen far outweighs the risk of its potential misuse, which can be deterred by safeguarding rules like a heavy penalty for unauthorised handling of the weapon by another member (especially children) of the family. Even the probability that the dangerous elements lurking in the dark would snatch the weapon and use it against the owner is much lower than that of the apprehension criminals will have before launching an attack on any random pedestrian or passenger. As for gangsters and terrorists, they are not waiting for licences to use their pistols and guns, anyway. This was about prevention.
As for the cure, which would otherwise be a misnomer in the victim's scheme of things, the courts that are called fast-track are not fast enough. Even if President Ram Nath Kovind were to reject the clemency plea of one of the convicts today, the duration of seven years that the Nirbhaya case took from the Saket court to the Supreme Court is inexcusable. The rules for the judiciary have to be made stricter, with limited timeframe given to the advocates on both sides for documentation, witness and evidence production and argumentation (hearing), coupled with an end to adjournments given owing to the absence of either side in the court on a day of the hearing. CJI SA Bobde's alarm is well received, but it will be more meaningful when his pillar of democracy gets its act together. Then alone will our people realise when justice retains its character and when even the law loses it.

WeWork Founder Brings 'Selina' Hotel Project to the Bowery
Finally complete after years of construction, 138 Bowery is ready for the big-time, and with an identity to boot.
Backed by WeWork founder Adam Neumann, Selina is a multipurpose hospitality endeavor that marries co-working options with hotel rooms, retail, and food offerings.
The lodge features 90 keys designed in collaboration with local artists and designers, a 6,000 square-foot outdoor terrace and a 6,000-square-foot rooftop bar, plus a 3,000 square-foot retail space on the Bowery.
The Bowery property will reportedly become a flagship for the international brand, which currently boasts dozens of locations globally.
The Selina building was developed by Emmut Properties, which shelled out $45.25 million in October 2015 for the long-vacant stretch of former lighting stores comprising 134-142 Bowery. It effectively erased more than two hundred years of invaluable area history. Indeed, number 140 dated back to the 1790s and was originally owned by men associated with the butchering trade. It was later a shoe store and millinery ("Callahan the Hatter"), among other functions. As a testament to its perseverence, the architecture persevered for more than two centuries; until 2011, when the owner lopped off the trademark dormers to nullify any possibility of landmarking.
Now the block between Delancey and Grand Streets is a new hotel row for the Bowery. Indeed, Marriott's proposed Moxy hotel will eventually rise just across the street (another Emmut Properties development); CitizenM just debuted up the block; and the Sohotel continues its legacy a few steps away.
How many hotels is too many?

Ecuador Citizenship Test over 70 yrs. Exempt?
It was with a great deal of interest that I read the recent posting with how to get an Ecuadorian passport. Then, there was a study guide for $40 to make preparing for the exam less stressful for my old mind. However, I have heard from several people that after the age of 70 there is no written exam in Spanish required.Is that true?

A couple months ago, I received a box of books from a couple who self-published a book.
The letter accompanying the book read, in part:
"The reason my wife and I wrote this book is so that the subject of the hope of Christ's return and the subsequent living with God forever, will live more for God's people…By using our personal tithe, we have sent out over 300 copies throughout the United States and around the world and are blessed to continue to do this…May God bless and inspire you as you read Jesus Christ Is Coming Back!
Here is a couple that is not only giving their book away for free, they are mailing it to complete strangers hoping to share the message they feel God has given them.
Having met many self-published authors who held onto their books and did not want to give away free copies because they viewed each copy given away as a loss, it is refreshing to see someone who is just inspired to share what God has laid on their hearts with others.
When you write and publish a Christian book, it is an investment in your spiritual life. Matthew 6:19-21 (HCSB) states, "Don't collect for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But collect for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves don't break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Yes, publishing is a business and as a business, one does have to consider profit and return on investment. However, for those authors who have self-published a single title, consider viewing your book as an investment in heaven. Give some away free of charge. It will do more good than having your book collecting dust in your garage or attic.

Consider all possibilities and weigh the alternatives before committing to any long term course of action just now with respect to a new or existing relationship, says today's horoscope. Not all decisions made now will work to your advantage, so avoid the instinct to simply go with your first gut feeling.
If you do your best at this time you can rest assured that someone especially close to you will notice your efforts. Keep a light shining on your romantic intentions.
You know that love doesn't come easily, but it seems lately you've been putting in overtime trying to make something happen with no results. Be patient. Good things are coming.
The new person who may be coming to your life recently is someone you will wind up knowing for years and years to come. This is a good time to begin thinking long term.
This is a good time to turn your attention to your home and family, if married, or toward a special relationship if you're not. There are things that need your immediate attention.
There's an improvement to your love life on your horizon and it's coming fast. Good things will soon be happening to you so be ready for them. Take time to relax with your significant other.
You are feeling especially clever and charming at this time. Don't hesitate to use that to your advantage in various social and romantic situations.
An old relationship, one you may have thought all but dead, comes back to life and fills your life with fun excitement. Now is not the time to take things slowly.
Keeping things in perspective will aid you in achieving your long term goals. Don't be afraid to share your feelings with that special person who truly understands you.
It is going to take some effort on your part to sculpt your new romantic relationship into something you're comfortable with. Take the bull by the horns and move ahead!
Trust your own judgment when it comes to important relationship decisions at this time. It's OK to listen to the advice of others, but listen more closely to your heart.
The chances for love you're getting now may not come again for a long time, so do not hesitate to make the most of them. It's sometimes OK to leap before you look.
You may find yourself feeling closer than you expected in less time than you expected to someone you've only recently met. Go with your instincts.

micro:bit Programming - Use buttons to control your micro:bit robot
July 03, 2018
In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to use Button A and Button B on your micro:bit. We will use the GiggleBot robot for the micro:bit to show how you can use Buttons to give commands.
Finding The Buttons
You can find the buttons in MakeCode under "Input" on the programming palette.
The input button is the first block at the top!
Programming the Buttons to Control a Robot
Drag the block onto the programming canvas.
Now, we can place any command under the "on button A pressed" and that command will be executed!
Now, when we press button A, the GiggleBot will drive forward.
Put It All Together
Let's write a quick program to expand on the button press. When we press button A, the GiggleBot robot will drive forward. When we press button B on the micro:bit, the robot will stop.
If you're interested in getting started with robots and the micro:bit, check out the GiggleBot micro:bit robot here! You can see more programming examples for the micro:bit robot here.
