TV: What shows are ya'll watching these days? Anybody watching The Bachelorette? What about American Gladiators?
Movies: Anybody seen a good movie lately? (either at the cinema or rental)
Winning: As some of you know, our health insuance company has contests all the time and I seem to win almost every time I enter one. (remember when I won $200 worth of free stuff from Adidas?, and $25 gift card to Sports Authority and a $25 gift card to Nike.com and $20 to a health food store, etc?) Well, this past week they had a "Sneaky Recipe" contest. I wasn't going to bother to enter at first, but when I looked and saw that they only had about 5 entries and none of them were very good or very "sneaky" I decided to enter a recipe that Amos gave me for smoothies. The point of the contest was to submit recipes where you could sneak extra nutritents (veggies) in and the people eating it couldn't tell. Well, Amos enlightened me a year or so ago that you can add frozen caulifower to almost any smoothie and you can't taste it. I had to try it to believe it...but now I am a total believer. My kids drink down a whole serving of veggies in their strawberry/banana smoothie and have NO idea that they're drinking something good for them!! Anyway...I said all that to say I WON the contest! -which means I won a $50 gift card to Whole Foods Market! Yippee! $50 to go spend on (way overpriced) health food!
Grant: Grant's dr. called me Tuesday to let me know that the results of the ECG came back and although it does show that he has a leaky valve in the right ventricle of his heart...it is absolutely NOTHING to be concerned about. She said he has no restrictions and can do anything he wants. Praise the Lord! Thank you for all your prayers.
On a different note: When he woke up this morning and came and got in my lap, I noticed that there was something oozing out of his ear. Also, yesterday twice he shrieked when I touched the outside of his ear. At first I was afraid maybe his eardrum had ruptured or something but I took him into the dr. this morning and she said it was just an outer ear infection...swimmers ear. It looks AWFUL...but I guess until the infectoin gets all out, it's gonna keep oozing. They put him on an antibiotic, eardrops and Claritin. The worst part of all is that he can't swim for a whole week!!!! That's gonna be TOUGH !!! Thank God we at least have a slip-n-slide! So much for going to the waterpark Friday though.
Money: I got my mortgage check back in the mail today. Turns out I wrote the check for $6.00 insted of $600.00. Guess they weren't interested in my measly little $6.00. Ha ha!!
Clothes: Nothing fits anymore. For those of you not reading my P90X blog (and I don't blame you--it's boring reading)--Matt has lost 16 pounds so far, and I've lost 9. Our clothes are hanging on us now (especially Matt's jeans). It's a problem I'd take ANYDAY over having my clothes too tight...but it does kind of stink when you can't even show off how small you are because your clothes look like feed sacks. I really don't want to go buy any new clothes yet either because we still have 47 or so more days to go in this program and I am still hoping to lose another 10 pounds. I don't think Matt really wants to lose anymore weight...but he does still have a way to go (muscle-wise) before he's satisfied with his body. I think he's in a size 31 or 32 pants now and I'm in a 6. (man, that feels good to say!!) Kandy if you want to sell any of your old fat pants, I can probably fit them now!! ha ha
Work: I haven't officially begun yet, but I am looking into and probably going to become a BeachBody Coach. BeachBody is the company that sells P90X, along with several other fitness programs. As a coach, I would make a comission off of products that I can sell...but more imporantly, I get to be an encourager and motivator to the people who I can get to sign up through me...or who just want me to be their online coach. Fitness and health are something I am pretty passionate about..and becoming more and more passionate about. If I can make a little money doing something like this that I LOVE...then I'm all for it. I'll let you all know what becomes of this though as I find out more about it.
Father's Day: What are ya'll getting your hubby's for father's day? What are you doing to celebrate?
Okay, well that pretty much sums up everything that's on my mind at the moment. I'll blog more again soon! Love ya'll!

9 pounds, good for you!
I gave my hubby his present today, I couldn't wait. The boys got him a framed picture of the Nebraska football stadium.
Glad to hear the good news from the doctor.

TV shows: We're watching Can You Duet and that's about it right now.
Movies: I've watched Atonement and Juno this week and did not like either of them at all! I thought since they won a lot of awards that they'd be good. Turns out I don't really necessarily like movies that have won tons of awards. Both of those movies were AWFUL in my opinion! What were those critics thinking?!
Winning: YAY! Could you share that smoothie recipe? Sounds like a great thing to make for J's breakfast in the morning! Congrats on winning!
Grant: I am so happy Grant is OK! Will be praying his ear infection goes away quickly!
Father's Day: I got J a new wallet and designed a collage coffee mug and a stainless steel "commuter" mug on Snapfish.com with pics of E. Can't wait to see what he thinks of his gifts.
Sorry such a long comment! Love and miss you like you would not believe. I've really been missing having good friends here and hope to make some new ones soon. Who knew being a SAHM is so lonely sometimes! No one could ever replace my friends back home! :) Love ya!

Yea! Congrats on the weight loss and the loose clothing...rub some of your wisdom my way, I'm still struggling to get down to where I normally am in the summer..I keep telling myself it is because I am weight training more now, and have more muscle, since my clothes still fit...but there is just something about seeing the number on the scale reading higher...scares me to death! (BTW my fat jeans were size 11 & 13...now my PMS jeans are size 4/6 and my normal jeans/shorts are a size 3...see, we're almost wearing the same size! you are the incredible shrinking woman! heehee) :) I'm so proud of you!!!
Yea for Grant! Bummer on the ear though, it's going to be long week...
I can't believe how lucky you are! I never win anything, ever, and here you win stuff all the time...you've got to share your secret with me. :)
Movies...I just rented Bucket List, and The List..haven't watched them yet though. As far as TV, I'm not watching anything right now. It's actually very refreshing not to worry about missing my show..we basically leave the TV off, except to watch the news, cartoons, or something we borrowed from the library or rented. It's been really nice!
Father's day...well, my poor hubby asked for crew socks...yes you read that right. He never buys himself "necessities", so all of his socks/underwear are wearing out. So for Father's day, he is getting a huge pack of socks, a huge pack of boxer brief underwear, and a pair of house shoes (since his have blown a seam and have a hole in them now). haha That is so sad isn't it...he's literally falling apart at the seams! hahaahaaa (bad joke, I know, but I couldn't resist). I know it isn't comparable to the TREE we got him last year, but it is something he needs and money is tight, so it is what it is. He knows we love him, and we'll spoil him rotten to make up for lack of creativity in the gift dept. :)

Glad to hear the good news about Grant. And congrats to you on your workout achievements. You are a very determined girl!
We aren't getting attached to any new shows during the summer. It's nice to have a break, and the evenings are so much longer now, we can finally enjoy some outdoor time.
I've got to try that cauliflower idea sometime. I do have a recipe on my recipe blog for Cauliflower manicotti... same concept. But I never would've thought to put it in a smoothie!!! I'll have to make myself give that one a try ;)

Decorating the exterior of your home to suit your tastes effortlessly and increase curb appeal only takes four things to make it all happen: impeccable taste (or a good home stylist), a flexible budget, the internet, and a good roof.
While the first three are far easier to find or come up with in one way or another, you might struggle to find a reliable guide on how to create a good roof anywhere without having to spend days trying to find the right answer — but that's why this article exists in the first place! When coming up with the perfect exterior plan, it's important to make sure your roof goes seamlessly with everything else that you're doing with your home's outside look. This can be accomplished with the right tips and a keen attention to detail.
That being said, if you do things the wrong way, you might end up creating an exterior finish where your roof sticks out like a sore thumb. In order to ensure that all things are in check when finalizing your exterior plan and putting everything into action, there are certain tips you'll need to keep in mind when trying to pick the right roof color for your home.
How you can properly choose your roof's color
Curious as to how you can make your roof cooperate with your design plan? Here are a few must-follow tips to pick the perfect color for your home's roof:
// Get a color that complements your shutters and siding
One way to come up with a funny-looking house is to get a roof color that doesn't match with your home's shutters and siding in any way. While your shutters might be easy to change on a whim, your roof isn't the best candidate for a quick revision, so it's best to opt for a roof color that can be easily paired with a multitude of shutter color options so that you won't be too limited on either end of the stick. One the other hand, your siding will always be a different color from your shutters and roof, so it's best to get a color for your roof that contrasts well with your them, yet matches with your shutters without looking too forced.
// Stay on the same page as your home's architectural style
When it comes to selecting the right roof color for your home, it's important to start by considering the architectural style of your house. Here are some rules you should keep in mind:
● Classic homes look best with classic color palettes (such as neutral colors or standard color options).
● If your home has a more traditional architecture style, you'll definitely want to stick with traditional roof colors in order to keep a seamless look that plays the part in maintaining your home's history!
● Homes with a rustic architectural style work best with greens, weathered grays, and browns to help enhance the homey feel while looking right at home with the rest of the house.
● Victorian and Colonial homes are best when matched with natural slate tiles up-top to help create a cohesive feel.
● Orange-red colors pair well with the curved and layered tiles that are often found in Stucco-style homes.
// Lay off the brick
Although a regular red brick tile for you home's roof might seem like the easiest and safest option, the opposite is actually quite true: the reddish finish of brick roofs is often hard to complement and work with, which can limit the color options that you can go with for other parts of your home. In order to get more wiggle room in terms of how your home can look overall, it's best to stay away from the red brick option and look for other colors that are easier to work with. This way, you can invite creative freedom without any other unnecessary restrictions.
// Take note of the sun
Aside from trying to match your home's architectural style, fixtures, and any other related elements, you should definitely consider how your roof is going to look like under the bright rays of the sun or the lack thereof. Some roof colors look spectacular with your home, with beauty that is further amplified when the sun hits just right. Other options, however, don't work as well with the sun and make the rest of your home look tacky no matter what angle you use to look at it. When going for a roof option or color, it's important to note that the sun can also make or break your home's entire look, so don't skip the all-important part of making sure your color option works well with sunlight.

What education, training, and experience must one have to function as a Medical Assistant?
Some Medical Assistants are trained on the job, but many complete one- or two-year academic programs. Courses in the program cover anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology as well as typing, transcription, record keeping, accounting, and insurance processing. Students learn laboratory techniques, clinical and diagnostic procedures, pharmaceutical principles, the administration of medications, and first aid. They study office practices, patient relations, medical law, and ethics. Accredited programs often include an internship that provides practical experience in physician offices, hospitals, or other health care facilities.
How and by whom is a Medical Assistant supervised?
In small practices, Medical Assistants usually handle both administrative and clinical duties and report to an office manager, physician, or other health practitioner. Those in larger practices tend to specialize in a particular area, and are typically under the supervision of department administrators.
What are the typical day-to-day activities of a Medical Assistant?
The duties of Medical Assistants vary from office to office, depending on the location and size of the practice and practitioner's specialty. For administrative duties, Medical Assistants may update and file patients' medical records, fill out insurance forms, and arrange for hospital admission and laboratory services. They may also answer phones, greet patients, handle correspondence, schedule appointments, and handle billing and bookkeeping. For clinical duties (depending on what is allowed by state law), Medical Assistants may take medical histories and record vital signs, explain treatment procedures to patients, prepare patients for examination, and assist physicians during examinations. They may also collect and prepare laboratory specimens, perform basic laboratory tests on the premises, prepare and administer medications as directed by a physician, authorize drug refills as directed, telephone prescriptions to a pharmacy, draw blood, prepare patients for x-rays, take electrocardiograms, remove sutures, and change dressings.
Must a Medical Assistant be licensed or certified to function in his or her role as part of the health care team?
There are various associations that award certification credentials to Medical Assistants. Although not required, certification indicates that a Medical Assistant meets certain standards of competence. Employers prefer to hire experienced workers or those who are certified. No states currently require licensure.
What types of patients would benefit from the care of a Medical Assistant?
Medical Assistants work and interact with patients in a variety of different settings. The most common setting, however, is the physician's office.
How and when does a Medical Assistant become involved in the care of a particular patient?
A Medical Assistant is often the first member of the health care team that interacts with a patient. The Medical Assistant may greet the patient and take the patient's history or vital signs.

text: Off-duty firefighter in Highland rescue Publish Date: 20 August 2015 Station Manager Ross Nixon and members of the public went to the aid of a man and woman after their car left the A9 near Moy. An off-duty firefighter and fellow passers-by sprang into action to help a man and woman from a partially overturned car after it suddenly careered off the road in the Highlands. Station Manager Ross Nixon was driving his sons Grant, aged 11, and Alistair, aged nine, to the Landmark Forest Adventure Park in Carrbridge on Sunday afternoon (16 August) when the incident unfolded ahead of them. He explained: "The car suddenly veered into the middle of the road. It was moving erratically then it left the carriageway and went into a wooded area. "I pulled over and got to there at the same time as three or four others. The vehicle had come to rest in a bog and it was positioned on its side with the driver and passenger still in their seats." The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) officer's training kicked-in and he quickly moved to make the vehicle safe and co-ordinate attempts to assist the man and woman inside. He continued: "I applied the handbrake to secure the vehicle as best we could and turned off the ignition. We got the woman out the passenger door but it was clear the man was in a bad way. "He was unconscious and didn't appear to be breathing but thankfully he came round after a sternal rub and we managed to get him out. "Afterwards I had to apologise to the members of the public for ordering them about – you instinctively take charge of the situation but they really were great in helping the man and also in reassuring his wife until an ambulance arrived." With the couple in the care of paramedics Ross left the scene to minimise the chance of a subsequent collision involving the cars now parked beside the A9. Now serving as the SFRS officer in charge of the Badenoch and Strathspey district, he became a firefighter 18 years ago and believes this incident shows the value of people in rural and remote communities serving in the fire and rescue service. He said: "The latest phase of our recruitment campaign for retained firefighters is now open and there are stations across the Highlands and throughout Scotland looking for people to join their crews. "The men and women who serve in this vital role respond to fires, floods, road traffic collisions, chemical spills and many more incidents where people are in danger. "It's an incredibly rewarding job that gives you potentially life-saving skills and I would urge anyone who is interested in applying to get in touch with us." In return for their service RDS firefighters are paid an annual retainer fee plus additional payments for every incident attended and time spent on all activity, including training nights, community engagement and courses. Applicants must be aged 18 years or over, have a good level of physical fitness, have the required standard of vision and colour perception and live or work within five to eight minutes of the fire station. You will need to demonstrate that you have the potential to carry out this challenging role through a rigorous recruitment process. Full details are available online at www.myjobscotland.gov.uk, where people can find information regarding specific vacancies and download the Recruitment Information Pack. Applicants are requested to note the key dates for this recruitment process as detailed within the information pack and ensure that they consider their availability to attend on the dates specified, including the initial two-week training course, prior to submitting an application. Further supplementary information is provided on the SFRS website www.firescotland.gov.uk. Share Share on Facebook Share On Twitter

Instagram crops all vertical posts to a 4:5, which means part of a vertical video or photo is cut off. But, if you add a white background before publishing to Instagram, you can post the full 9:16 portrait without cropping. In this article, I'll describe how you can post a full 9:16 image by adding a white background.
Instagram crops all vertical posts to a 4:5. That means that it's impossible to fit a full 9:16 video into an Instagram post. If you take a screenshot, film a video clip on your phone, TikTok, or Snap, or if you want to post a Story to your feed, Instagram makes you crop part of it out unless you resize it first.
How to post a vertical post without cropping
To post a full vertical video or image on Instagram without cropping to 4:5, add a white background to make it into a square. Then, you can post the photo or video without cropping out or changing the size. This technique works for pictures, GIFs, and videos. Here's a step-by-step tutorial:
- Upload to a Resizer Tool
- Add a Background
- Download and Share
1) Upload to a Resizer Tool
Open Kapwing's resizer and upload the vertical or portrait photo you want to post. Kapwing's resizer is free to use and online, so you don't need to download an app. It supports images, GIFs and videos.
Note: If you want to edit or add filters to your photos, make sure to do this before resizing. That way, the white background won't be affected by the color changes and adjustments.
2) Add a Background
Choose the 1:1 option for Instagram (Kapwing also supports 16:9 sizing for YouTube and other formats). You can select a white or black background and use Kapwing's zoom and positioning tools to zoom in, crop, or add a border. Click "Create" once the preview matches what you want your post to look like!
To take up more vertical space in the Instagram feed, you can also choose to resize your post to 4:5 (the "FB/Twitter Portrait" option on Kapwing).
3) Download and share
After resizing your post, you can download it and post it on Instagram. Since your photo/video now has a 1:1 aspect ratio, you can publish it without cropping.
If you're using a mobile device, you'll need to download the very small Kapwing mobile app from the App Store. The app doesn't require any login – it's only meant to help you download your content! To download your picture on your iPhone, just copy the URL of the download page and paste it into the URL field in the Kapwing app. Now it's ready for you to share anywhere!
I hope this article helps you share your un-cropped vertical videos and portrait photos with the world! Kapwing's one-click editor was designed for people with no previous editing expertise, so don't be afraid to try it out.
For more ideas, tutorials, and features, check back in at the Kapwing Resources page or our YouTube channel! And remember to tag us @KapwingApp whenever you share your content on social media– we love to see what our creators are passionate about!

His presentation is available as attached. Should you like to know further details, please feel free to contact info [at] grjapan [dot] com.
Yukio Edano, deputy president of the Democratic Party (DP), today formed a new political party, "The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan". DP previously announced to join the Party of Hope, a new party formed by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, in order to steal seats from the ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, at the general election to be held on 22 October. However, Koike's intention to exclude the DP members who don't agree with her and her party's political views caused turbulence and tensions in DP as her decision was rather abrupt. Among the DP membe
The House of Representatives was dissolved at the beginning of the Extraordinary Diet session today. Towards the general election held on 22 October, the ruling and opposition parties will go into a fierce battle for the house's 475 seats. The surprise move of the Democratic Party to be merged to the newly formed party, "Party of Hope" led by Tokyo Governor Koike, gets the whip-hand over the wild election.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced to dissolve the House of Representatives on 28 September at a press conference held today. The general election will be officially announced on 10 October and held on 22 October. He revealed his new goal, which is the economic policy focusing on the better education and child care and the more effective productivity, as one of the main agenda of the election.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe seems to have decided to dissolve the House of Representatives as he convenes the Extraordinary Diet Session on 28 September. It was said that the House would be dissolved in mid-November, considering by-elections for the House of Representatives scheduled in October and US President Donald Trump's visit in early November.
The next Extraordinary Diet Session will be convened on Thursday, 28 September. The government and the ruling party was targeting 25 September initially; however, considering the Emperor's schedule and Prime Minister Abe's visit to the UN, they concluded to open the session later than planned. In addition to Work-style reform, the bills on constitutional reform and the Integrated Resorts seem to be deliberated. For more details, please see the article on Mainichi Shimbun (Japanese only) from the link below.
Seiji Maehara, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, was elected as a new leader of the Democratic Party (DP) today. At the contest, Maehara won 502 points, about 60% of the votes, while his rival candidate Yukio Edano gained 332. His predecessor, Renho, resigned from the position taking a responsibility of the party's crushing defeat in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election in July. Maeara takes it over with an expectation to reorganize the party to win the by-elections for the House of Representatives in October.
Ahead of the party's Presidential Election on 1 September, the two candidates, Seiji Maehara and Yukio Edano of the Democratic Party (DP), discussed how they would regain support for DP and lead the opposition parties against the ruling party at a press conference by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (FCCJ) today. They also exchanged their views on the issues on North Korea, the economic policies, and the nuclear energy. Please see the image above for the video clip of the entire press conference (with the simultaneous Japanese interpretation).

Lynch Mob - The self-righteous pleasure of killing an innocent person

This kind of thing goes on a lot among primitive people of uncontrolled passion and undeveloped intellect. The misogyny of Islamic culture doesn't help much either.ReplyDelete
- Joseph OrlowMarch 23, 2015 at 5:14 PM
Hmm. I wouldn't have characterized Nazis as primitive, yet in comparison to documented incidents from the Holocaust, this is not so out-of-the-box. I think many us harbor the potential for this kind of behavior. Or maybe my barely checked unbridled passion that flares up from time to time is less common among the populace than I think.ReplyDelete

Forgive my skepticism, but I think this post has nothing to do with Islam or Afgan Women.ReplyDelete

I did not say it takes place only among primitives.ReplyDelete

I think this stuff goes on in the Frum community as well, on a smaller scale. When someone is accused of selling treif, or having an affair, or molesting a kid, etc. People jump to conclusions and become judge, jury, and executioner and throw people out of communities, even physical harm.ReplyDelete
It doesn't make a difference whether guilty or innocent, if it turns into mob rule, it will eventually happen to an innocent person as well. The mob doesn't differentiate.
It's done more violently in Afghanistan, only because afghanistan is a more violent place. In the times of the Jewish wars against the Romans, or earlier, it may have very well happened in the frum community. Look what happened when Biryonim burned the warehouses of food to force a war. Or what happened to "Nov Ir Halohanim", or what brought about the "Egel Hazahv" when "Chur" was killed by the mob. I am sure there are many documented cases of the same type of behavior among us, and beware of the thought that it can't happen by us. There is no reason to assume that human behavior won't affect us.

Or it might be a parallel to what certain wicked people have been doing and are still trying to do to the innocent staff members of certain seminaries.ReplyDelete

All GSMS courses
Only GSMS PhD students (including BCN PhD students) can participate in these courses. Use your P-number to register (ask your Personnel Office).
For registration please go to Upcoming courses.
Course: Quantitative Bioanalysis
Bioanalysis refers to the analysis of biological samples, i.e. fluids and tissues obtained from living organisms such as animals and humans. In quantitative bioanalysis, the concentrations are determined of all kinds of molecules in biological samples. As such, it is very important for pharmaceutical and medical research, because many conclusions about the state of health of a person and about the efficacy and safety of pharmaceutical treatment are based on the concentrations of drugs and of endogenous compounds (or biomarkers) in body fluids.
This course discusses the quantitative aspects of bioanalysis. The focus will be on the role of quantitative bioanalysis in research and development of new drugs, but the information has a broader applicability to other types of pharmaceutical and medical research. Recently, there have been many developments in the field of quantitative bioanalysis, both with regard to the technologies used and with regard to regulatory aspects, i.e. the procedures that are applied to ensure the scientific reliability of the results. The course will give an in-depth overview of all these issues, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. Case studies will be presented to illustrate the importance of a proper scientific approach.
The course will be given by several experts from academia and industry. An excursion to an industrial bioanalytical laboratory is part of the course. The following aspects of quantitative bioanalysis will be covered:
- The role of bioanalysis in drug development
- The bioanalytical support of preclinical and clinical trials
Technology (small molecules):
- A historical overview of technological developments
- Sample preparation
- Chromatography (LC)
- Mass spectrometry (MS)
- The role of drug metabolism in bioanalysis
- Application of LC-MS in practice
Technology (macromolecules):
- Binding assays
- Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic applications and their correlation
- Immunogenicity assays
- LC-MS for macromolecules
Regulatory aspects:
- Validation and quality control
- Good laboratory practice
Specific applications:
- Biomarker discovery
- Dried blood spots
- Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) MS
- Flow cytometry
After following the course, the participants will have a good working knowledge of the different contemporary techniques for quantitative bioanalysis. The course will be completed with a written exam.

The global leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community warned of the "critical need for peace" at the community's 16th annual Peace Symposium this Saturday (March 9).
His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Caliph of Ahmadiyya Muslims around the world, highlighted the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the dangers posed by climate change and extremism as key threats to peace globally during his keynote address.
Over 800 hundred delegates from 30 countries attended the event, which was held at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in Morden, South West London, to listen to the Caliph speak.
The Surrey Comet was invited to the Symposium as a guest of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK (AMA UK), and asked Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad what he considered the most serious threats to peace in the UK and around the world.
The Caliph hinted at the content of his keynote address, where he focused on the renewed threat of nuclear war.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: "The leaders of some of the nuclear powers are trigger happy and appear not to appreciate the truly grave consequences of nuclear warfare.
"Not only do such weapons have the power to annihilate the countries targeted, but also have the potential to destroy the peace and stability of the entire world.
"Thus it is imperative that nations and their leaders not only focus on their own national interests but consider what is best for the world at large. Dialogue with other nations and communities is vital."
The Caliph cited several geopolitical situations involving nuclear powers as a reference for the point, including the rising tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed Kashmir region and the withdrawal of the United States and Russia from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), a key nuclear arms control treaty signed by the US and Soviet Union during the Cold War.
During his keynote address Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad also indicated his concerns over climate change and the rise of extremism in the wake of the refugee crisis.
The solution, he said, was to promote peace in those parts of the world refugees are forced to flee.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: "The long-term solution to the immigration crisis has to be to establish peace in war-torn countries and to help the local people, who have been forced to endure lives of misery and danger, to live peacefully."
"The Islamic viewpoint is that peace can best be achieved through unity. Yet, regretfully, instead of uniting, we are seeking separation and prioritising our individual interests over the collective interests of the world."
A member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK, Fahran Khalid, escorted the Comet on a short tour of the mosque ahead of the symposium itself, where the paper was invited to attend a prayer ceremony led by the Caliph himself (pictured).
Scores of the faithful prayed in synchronization under the mosque's great domed roof, while Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad's voice gently cut the near-silence as he read selected passages from the Quran.
As Saturday's proceedings came to a close Mr Khalid reflected on the event.
Mr Khalid said: "The event was a great success today...we have 30 countries represented here, we can see the people from various walks of life — politicians, mayors, councillors and other leaders — all being here to discuss peace and the situation the world finds itself in. Here we can all stop and reflect..."
At the mosque Mr Khalid informed the Comet about the history of the Ahmadiyya community and their ongoing persecution in some countries — the UN's Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Ahmed Shaheed, has condemned both India and Pakistan for their treatment of Ahmadiyya Muslims recently.
He also described the rapid growth of the community worldwide since its foundation in India, 1889, by Mirzā Ghulām Ahmad, whom Ahmadi Muslims consider to be the messiah.
AMA UK themselves are taking direct action when it comes to peace promotion, and have cited climate change as a key concern — as the Comet reported earlier this year, the group successfully planted 10,000 new trees near Epsom in a single day in January.
se politicians from various walks of life, politicians and mayors, councillors and other leaders, and we're all here to discuss peace and the situation the world finds itself in."
"As his holiness said, we need to stop and reflect on how we can establish peace, and we've had some great conversations."

The Mike Quevedo Sr. Scholarship Fund has been awarding scholarships to the children of the members of the Laborer's Union in Southern California for the past 24 years. These scholarships are intended to assist these young people with the cost of their college education.
The scholarship fund Is to honor the legacy left by Mike Quevedo Sr. Mike Sr. came to Los Angeles at the age of 16 in 1926 and started his career in the construction industry in 1940. During World War II, he served as a labor relations representative for the Latino workers in the San Pedro shipyard. In 1950 he was elected to the Executive Board of Laborers Local #300 and was soon elected Secretary Treasurer. In 1959, Mike Sr. became the first Latino to be elected Business Manager.
Mike Sr. was one of Labor's Pioneers who believed it was important to provide all the support possible towards the betterment of our young people, our local communities, and our country as a whole. His desire was to see that dependents of members of the Southern California Laborers' Union would have the opportunity to secondary education.
The Southern California District Council of Laborers carries on that dream today by awarding scholarships to those dependents, thus ensuring Mike's dream is kept alive. In 2018, the Mike Quevedo Sr. Scholarship Fund awarded 61 students scholarships totaling $193,000.00. Both numbers Mike would be extremely proud of.

Are we a Nation of Saints & Scholars or just Drunks?
The law says I can only buy one packet of 16 Paracetamol in a chemist at any one time, but any 18 year old can walk into an off license and buy 50 bottles of Vodka if they want? How many people die from Paracetamol overdose a year compared to alcohol related deaths I wonder?
We entertain world leaders like Obama and heads of state like the Queen of England, by bringing them to the pub in front of the world's cameras. Only recently politicians set great examples, basically getting away with drink driving.
Does the government really care about our alcohol epidemic or is it just blowing smoke to appease the masses while it reaps enormous taxes on the sale of alcohol?
In the last few years pretty much every corner shop has been given a license to sell alcohol, and from 10.30am. Do we really need to be able to go to the corner shop at 10.30am to buy a bottle of wine? I always understood early houses were for those who worked nights etc. but surely everyone else doesn't need the option?
A water bottle has to have its nutritional values detailed down to the macro nutrient but not one single mention of even the slightest ingredient, calorie content or sugar content is on any alcoholic drinks label or its website. Labels just state how much alcohol is in it and let's face it, that's a selling point. When was the last time you looked at a beer label and chose the one with the lowest alcohol content? We constantly hear about GMO food dangers, about low fat this and that and chicken that's traceable and yet see no problem consuming beers, never questioning the source of its ingredients, or whether its ingredients are genetically modified.
Here in Ireland we talk about how America's gun laws are insane and yet when you think about it we kind of do the same with alcohol here? We can't understand how millions of Americans believe every man, woman and child has the right to bear arms – high powered, fully automatic armored piercing & in any quantity, arms. Maybe we should take a look closer to home, I bet per capita a lot more people die here from drink related deaths than shootings in America? In Ireland we pride ourselves on a pub literally on every street corner and get our backs up whenever there's talk of change to opening hours. In some rural areas we even turn a blind eye to drink driving and politicians have even tried to change the law for this. The drinks industry here is as powerful, as rich and as well connected as the National Rifle Association. Americans love their guns and kill each other with them. We love our alcohol and kill ourselves with it; it's just not as instant or dramatic here.
As a binge drinker like most young males in this country, the cheap cost, easy availability and cultural acceptance means I can drink myself into a drunken stupor and actually get more coo dose from my peers. To be an alcoholic in Ireland gets passed off as "fond of the drink". To order a non-alcohol beer at a bar in Ireland brings looks of horror from friends and questions of "are you pregnant?" for girls. It's become socially acceptable to drink a bottle of wine every night in Ireland in the middle classes (we all know someone who does) and yet if they drank half a bottle of vodka or 6 cans of Dutch Gold every night that'd be different?
I lived in Australia for a couple of years and while they have a similar drinking culture to ours, they seem to be doing something about it. If a barman serves you while you're drunk they can be fined thousands of dollars. Imagine if that law was here – and enforced? Mid Strength beer in Western Australia is widely accepted as "cool" to drink, largely thanks to a successful advertisement campaign involving sports star endorsements.
Whether the Australian example is working I don't know, but it may work here? I do know one thing, what we're doing here now doesn't work and if anything is making things worse? Making it more expensive is ineffective, we've just changed our drinking habits to going out later and drinking more at home.
Is there a comparison to be drawn between our high alcohol consumption and our high depression and suicide rates? If not directly, maybe indirectly? How many kids have witnessed their parents arguing while drunk? How many kids have grown up in an abusive alcoholic family and developed depression as a result of anxiety? If you see a heroin junkie with a child you think "poor kid, he has no chance" and yet go to any pub on a Sunday afternoon and it's full of drunk parents with their kids.
I saw a Drinkaware.ie poster and it reminded me of how ridiculous it is. Established in 2006 by alcohol manufacturers & distributers with the aim "to undertake initiatives to combat alcohol abuse & misuse". So the legal drug is being monitored by the drug dealers themselves? The drinks industry can now point to Drinkaware whenever they're criticized about not doing anything to prevent the alcohol epidemic we have in this country. Genius marketing and I'm sure whoever came up with that idea in Adagio got a big promotion.
Don't be fooled by Drinkaware, it's a marketing con thought up to appease the masses and so the drinks industry and government can say they're doing something about the epidemic. It at best gets people thinking but is no substitute for the government or industry actually doing something to tackle the problem.
Take Drinkaware's current campaign saying that one standard drink takes the same amount of time to be processed by your liver (see link below). Basically it's trying to say if I drink 10 glasses of beer or 10 measures of whiskey it'd leave my body the same way and to be careful driving the next morning that I'm not over the limit. Rubbish, if I drank 10 glasses of beer I'd be grand in a few hours, if I drank 10 whiskeys I'd be near death drunk, for hours. And if I hadn't eaten it would be worse. Would a 5ft girl handle 1 standard drink the same as a 6 ft. man? Of course not, a standard drink is about as useful as pounds and shillings and about as accurate as RTE's weather forecast.
Be aware Drinkaware is the drink industries fanfare.
I'm not sure what the answer is but the question is this, are we doing much about it? Our dependence on alcohol affects every single one of us in some way or another if we think about it? I hope this article hasn't upset or offended anyone, but I think it's better to think about it, than ignore it and pretend there is no problem?

Within the 2012 Wayne Relationship film Skyfall among the best times is actually whenever Daniel Craig leaps onto the shifting teach. Wayne Relationship is actually going after a poor man and it is eager to obtain their on the job a few categorized info that their foe retains. Bond's very first believed whenever he or she countries about the teach would be to change their cufflinks. It is traditional Wayne Relationship. The unforgettable second.
Everybody's preferred Uk leading man could be within the battle associated with their existence but still discover period to ensure their clothing appears great. Obviously their Ben Kia match as well as customized Striped Capital t Canister Cufflinks depict the substance from the present day guy. This type of advanced guy associated with these days wouldn't be observed along with simple control keys upon their cuffs. This merely is not carried out.
However how about the foundation from the cufflink? Nicely this dates back method beyond the leading man Wayne Relationship.
The actual cufflink includes a lengthy, fascinating previous that is entwined using the development from the clothing. We must return to the center age range to determine exactly how cufflinks created to resolve the essential issue — how can you cope with clothing cuffs?
In the beginning the solution had been guitar strings or even control keys. However which was in no way a real long-term answer. Style needed to get involved in some way.
Tale might have you think how the cufflink was initially launched towards the public within the guide, "The Depend associated with Monte Cristo" through Alexander Dumas. Among the figures he or she produced usually used large expensive diamonds upon their clothing cuffs. The result about the style path from the individuals had been unparalleled. Tale might have all of us think that this particular guide influenced the actual France cuff. Obviously the actual cufflink is actually customized for that France cuff — and also the relaxation is actually background.

Summary Matthew Chapter 5
This is probably the fourth or fifth draft of this. I lost track. This is an enormously important chapter, and I wanted to do it as much justice as possible. I'm still not completely happy, but this addresses the issues raised in the chapter, if not all of their greater ramifications.
The sentiments of the Beatitudes are revolutionary, representing a radical shift in what will become Western thought. In fact, the sentiments expressed here are perhaps one of the foundation stones of Western Civilisation. Of course, many cultures have a code of social justice; such a code is enshrined in the Hebrew Scriptures, and such prescriptions date back (at least) to the Code of Hammurabi. But what we have here is something different. Here we have not so much exhortations to help the needy, but flat-out statements that those in need will receive their recompense. This is to say that their suffering per se is worthy of reward. To the best of my knowledge, this had never been promised before. It certainly was never part of Greek or Roman thought, and even Marcus Aurelius, two hundred years later, had nothing comparable.
In one of his books that I read, JD Crossan said that apocalyptic prophecy was the last refuge of the politically oppressed. As pitiless as the conqueror was, apocalyptic prophecy let the subject peoples think, "Oh yeah? Well, you're gonna get yours when our G/god comes and straightens things out." And there is no doubting the appeal. Revenge fantasies against, say, a horrible boss are nearly universal, I suspect. (Or is that just saying something about me?) But this, the idea of those who mourn finding comfort is a different sort of prediction, both in outlook and in those it addresses. This is no longer a promise just to a political or cultural underclass. The poor, the mourning, those hungering for justice were universal classes in the ancient world; and, unfortunately, in the modern world as well. These categories encompass people of all nations, all races, all religions. As such, it's not addressed to a specific audience in terms of ethnic composition in the way that Jewish apocalyptic writing was addressed to Jews, and couched in Jewish religion and culture the way the Book of Daniel was. Rather, this is the practical application of Paul's "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free", etc.
So it is not an 'us vs. them' sort of thing the way apocalyptic writing tends to be. And the other aspect—perhaps the more interesting aspect—is that we are not told when this recompense will be received, or when it will occur, Are we to presume that this part of the kingdom? We were told in 4:23 that Jesus was teaching the good news of the kingdom. Of course, we know when all this will happen. It will occur in the afterlife, which is to say the kingdom of God, or capital-h Heaven, when we have died and been judged worthy of eternal life. But where has Matthew said this? Indeed, where did Mark or Paul say this? What right have we to make this inference? And by 'right", I mean, where's our textual support for this conclusion? Even later in this chapter, when Matthew talks about Gehenna, he does not provide an alternative. So what is our proof? From what I recall, the only support for this comes in Mark 9, and again in Mark 10:30. In Mark 9, he talks about "entering the life" rather than being thrown into Gehenna. I found it curious that Matthew omitted the part about the life here, although he will repeat most of this when he recapitulates the content of Mark 9 in this next chapter.
Now, we are told that the poor in spirit and the persecuted will be rewarded with the kingdom of heaven, and the meek shall inherit the earth. Is there a contradiction, or at least an inconsistency here? If kingdom of the heavens can be understood as Heaven, what happens to the meek? When do they get the earth? In this life? Or in the next?
This is where we have to stop and ask what Matthew and his community believed at this point. Mark spoke briefly and vaguely about "the kingdom" and "the life", the latter being opposed to being thrown into Gehenna. Because to this point, we have encountered exactly two references to anything resembling the concept of eternal life. Both were in Mark. One was when Jesus spoke of a sin against the sacred breath as the only sin that would lead to "eternal judgement", the presumption that the judgement would not be positive. The other is in Mark 10:30, where Jesus says that one of the rewards for following Jesus faithfully will be eternal life. That's it, More, the idea of eternity is not big in Matthew; he uses the word sparingly.
So are we justified to infer that we're talking about eternal life? On the one hand, it sure seems like it; OTOH, maybe not so much. But if not eternal life, then what does it mean to be given entry into the kingdom of the heavens, or to inherit the earth? I certainly don't have the answer, and I'm not sure I even an answer for this. But I don't know that anyone else does, either; at least, no one has an answer that doesn't presuppose the way that later generations–ourselves included–came to understand this.
In a nutshell, what I am saying is that the text is rather falling between two stools here. The idea of eternal life exists–perhaps. For the record, we are assuming that the use of the term in Mark 10:30 is not a later interpolation. This is always a possibility, but since the burden of proof is on me to demonstrate this, and I simply cannot, we will work under the assumption that the words date to the author of Mark. So the idea does exist, but I have to suggest that it's still in a very attenuated form. There is the possibility that by the time Matthew wrote this, the idea of eternal life, and that eternal life and the kingdom of the heavens were synonymous, were so commonplace that it could be taken for granted, However, the burden of proof is to show that this is true, and I do not think any sort of reasonable case can be made to demonstrate this. Use of the term is still too sketchy. Yes, the truth could be somewhere in the middle, but saying that does not solve anything. The exact middle? Because if it's closer to one side than the other, we've gained nothing with the attempt to compromise.
So now what? While I believe we cannot say with any certainty what Matthew meant by "kingdom of the heavens", or if he believed in eternal life, we have to admit that the idea was around. Its seed had been planted. What I'm saying is this idea–and probably many others, are still developing.
If you agree with that statement, there is a host of very powerful implications that go with that.
In How Jesus Became God, Ehrman suggested that the main theme of Mark was the establishment of Jesus' identity. That being accomplished, Matthew was free to focus on Jesus' teaching. Note that what Ehrman is saying, perhaps without being aware of it, and certainly without being aware of the implications, is that the message of Jesus was still developing. Mark had to do part; Matthew did the next part. That means that Mark's message was incomplete. More needed to be added because the message was still developing. So Ehrman agrees with me on that.
By starting with the birth narrative and adding that Jesus was attended by angels after the temptations have removed all doubt about Jesus' identity. More, Matthew has established that Jesus was a divine entity, in some meaning of the word. Given this, Matthew then brushes over Mark's initial exorcisms and healings in summary fashion. As a result, he truly begins Jesus' ministry with Chapter 5 makes it very clear that Matthew will focus on Jesus' teaching.
By making this the focus of his gospel, Matthew, for the moment, is not addressing the ways that Jesus' teaching interacted with his divinity. Matthew has gone back to a human Jesus, a wise man, a wise teacher. Yes, we know that Jesus was divine, but this divinity has become latent, rather than explicit. In fact, the Jesus in Mark is perhaps more explicitly divine than the Jesus of Matthew. The one found in Mark is always casting out demons, healing people, and performing wonders. Since Matthew "goes back" to the teaching of Jesus, this could be adduced as further proof–as if any were needed–for the existence of Q. Matthew "went back" to the human Jesus and his teachings precisely because of Q. Matthew had access to this trove of information on what Jesus said that was not available to Mark, for reason or reasons unspecified.
But we'll get back to that. How and why Mark missed Q is an elephant in the room that no one is addressing.
In the chapter, we go from the Beatitudes to the….what? Analogies? Comparisons? Wisdom sayings? How exactly do we classify the statements that Jesus makes about the salt of the earth and the city on the hill? I find it interesting that Matthew inserts the analogies about the salt of the earth, and the city on the hill in here. Contextually, they don't really fit. They are sort of stuck in here, not relating either to the Beatitudes or to what comes next. Also, this is a case where Matthew did not successfully integrate Triple Tradition material–stuff common to Matthew, Mark, and Luke–into the place where Mark locates it. This is supposed to be a hallmark of Matthew, but he didn't get it right here. Mark has Jesus saying this to the disciples, in a more intimate setting, rather than to a great crowd. And, honestly, I believe that Mark's context is more appropriate. This sounds like a pep-talk for his close followers, convincing them that they are worthy of the charge Jesus is entrusting to them. But, that's an opinion, and worth just about that much. More important is that, perhaps counterintuitively, I think this clumsy context does a lot to establish them as authentic sayings of Jesus. Why do I say this? Because it makes almost no sense to include them otherwise. Why is he telling members of the crowd, as a whole, that they are the salt of the earth, and the city on the hill? As they exist here, they really feel like something culled from a list of out-of-context sayings. Something like Q, IOW.
Then there is the famous bit about how Jesus claims he will not drop a single iota from the Law. This passage is often cited to demonstrate Matthew's bona fides as a Jew. What is not said, is that, having made this proclamation, Jesus proceeds to do exactly what he said he wouldn't: he starts editng the Law. No divorce; lust in the heart = adultery; hating your brother = murder; no more eye for an eye. Here we reflect back to what I said about the Beatitudes: these explications of the law feel like Jesus is expanding the scope of those who are subject to the Law. Yes, he's talking about the lessons of the Law, talking about "our forefathers", but he is showing how they apply now, and how they are no longer the exclusive prerogative, purview, of Jews. Jesus here, I think, is speaking to ex-pagans. My pet theory is that the author of this gospel was a god-fearer, a pagan who was deeply interested in Jewish traditions and Law, in particular in the Jewish moral code. Even though he says "our forefathers said…" this is an allegorical use of the term. But, this is a pet theory; I don't have much in the way of concrete proof. Yet. But look at how this all works together, how Jesus is creating a universal message, one whose scope goes beyond the tight constraints of a Jews-only milieu.
Note that I said "Jesus is creating a universal message". Of course, that is probably incorrect. More properly, Matthew is putting these words into Jesus' mouth.Why? Because an expanded message, one that is directed as much–or more–to pagans than to Jews is not appropriate for the historical Jesus who lived in the 20s/30s of the Common Era. But such a message to pagans is wholely appropriate for an evangelist writing in the mid-80s CE. And here is where the idea of a developing message is crucial: if the Beatitudes were fixed in the 30s and transmitted via Q, then the message was set and did not change. Matthew simply went back to this older material and merged it with Mark to create a new gospel.
But is that what Matthew did? Is Jesus preaching to primarily pagans? or primarily to Jews here? That is the heart of the matter, If he's preaching to Jews, then this message most likely dates back to the 30s and was transmitted via Q. If he's preaching to pagans here, then the message was, likely, created after that, most likely starting some time after the destruction of the Temple. What I believe we have here is a scenario in which Jesus is ostensibly preaching to Jews, but Matthew is in fact writing for pagans.
So, if I'm correct in this, then Q becomes a casualty. That is what is at stake here. Well, it's one thing. Now I have no illusions that I have constructed a convincing case that Jesus/Matthew is addressing pagans. I have done no such thing. What I hope, however, is that I've started. I hope I've put the seed in your mind. Now, whether it grows will depend on how well I tend to it from here. But I've put my stake in the ground. As always, I reserve the right to eat my words at a later point. I'm hoping I won't have to do that, but time will tell.

At the ring of my iPhone, I wake up in my usual sleepy daze. You reach over me and turn it off for me because you know I have trouble getting up in the morning.
I mutter something about having to get up and slip back into a subtle sleep. I struggle between reality and dreamland for a minute before I open my eyes to see your arms open. Your eyes closed.
The light is coming through the window and bouncing off your bare chest.
I pull my head up, shifting my long hair out from under your arm and wrap my left leg over your body as I pull closer.
I bury my head above your breast bone near your meaty shoulders. You wrap your arms around me in the familiar places. I cup your face with my left hand to stroke your scratchy cheek.
What a familiar contentment.
I used to gag at stories about lovers being perfect puzzle pieces. How cheesy and over used that was in Hallmark cards.
But, there is no denying that my place is right above your breast, nuzzled into your shoulder, and wrapped around your body.
I could pass onto a different world in those arms, a world of serenity and ease. Where there is only us and that moment. Where the sunlight always shines, and we speak with our bodies.
Where we tell each other, every morning, I love you without saying a word. A world that only exists in your arms.
This is love.

Today in The Australian
As 2018 draws to a close, it is hard to find a Western leader whose authority has survived the year intact. Donald Trump's presidency may not be derailed by the chaos in Washington but it compounds the sense of a drama veering towards a grim conclusion. Theresa May's prime ministership hangs by a frayed thread as Brexit edges towards a hard landing. After a string of electoral routs, Angela Merkel has been forced to step down as party leader and announce her departure from the chancellorship. As for Emmanuel Macron, his standing and credibility have been shattered, and his reform agenda with them.
