- Rebirth of the Tyrant's Pet: Regent Prince Is Too Fierce
- Chapter 106 - Suppressing Forbidden Feelings (1)
Chapter 106 – Suppressing Forbidden Feelings (1)
This secret was something the current Gong Che didn't know.
He only knew that he hugged her. God knows how much he wanted to do that… how much he wanted to lick her close neck… or even push her down onto the bed!
But he didn't dare. He was scared he would frighten her. If Gong Yi Mo found out about these hidden desires, she would definitely stay far away from him. So far that he would never see her again!
Thinking of this, he held her even closer!
He couldn't speak; he couldn't leave her either! She said it before. She said that she will not marry, she said it before! He doesn't want much, really. As long as Gong Yi Mo was like this right now, by his side, accompanying him, he wouldn't act rashly! He can control himself!
Gong Yi Mo was suffocating. What kind of situation is this? Did the Crown Prince have some other illness she didn't know about?
He repeatedly recited a calming mantra over and over in his head. Smelling her calming fragrance, Gong Che's body slowly relaxed. However, he continued to hold her, unwilling to let go.
"I'm fine…" His low voice made Gong Yi Mo feel weird.
"Crown Prince Elder Brother… what's wrong?" Why was he suddenly acting like this? How strange.
Gong Che lowered his head and took a deep breath before speaking.
"I just… suddenly missed mother." His voice was very low, "We can do whatever we want, eat whatever we want, go wherever we want, but mother… She sinned for my sake, locked in the Buddhist Temple. As her son, I am very sad.
Gong Yi Mo listened and breathed out in relief. She patted his shoulder and comforted, "So it was this… it's okay! Besides, she relinquished her power and is protected! Nothing will happen to her!
She thought in her heart, 'People in high positions are never wholly selfless.' Even though the Empress was Gong Che's mother, even more than that, she was the Empress! Who was sacrificing for whom was hard to say.
She never imagined that this was all an excuse to cover up his slipup!
Gong Che was actually a very traditional person. If someone told Gong Yi Mo that Gong Che harbored feelings for his Royal Sister, she wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death!
After comforting Gong Che, Gong Yi Mo prepared to leave. These two single people, even if they are siblings, shouldn't stay together for long. It wasn't the modern world after all, how troublesome.
Gong Che had just lied down, feeling overwhelmed. His mood earlier had changed so rapidly that he felt quite weary at this time.
Gong Yi Mo tucked the prince into his quilt and began to leave when her hand was suddenly caught by Gong Che! She looked at him suspiciously and Gong Che whispered, "Sister Gong, why don't you leave after I fall asleep?"
He seemed insecure. Of course, he was only 16 years old, yet he had to deal with all these tempests. With so much pressure, wanting someone by his side was normal. This also meant she had completely pierced through the barriers to his heart, latching onto another thigh!
Thinking of this, Gong Yi Mo smugly nodded her head and sat next to the bed.
Gong Che was relieved and closed his eyes. Soon, his breath became steady.
Gong Yi Mo had nothing to do, so she looked here and there.
The Crown Prince's room was a temporary one at first glance, its layout simple. It didn't feel like a home at all… Hmm, if you put a large flower vase next to that bookshelf, that would look pretty nice. Then put a few branches there, that would enhance the mood.

Page turning, can't put it down kind of trilogy! I read all three books in one day.
As a professional poker player, India knows how to play her opponents. She's a strong, memorable woman you'll root for right from the start. Jericho's your typical hot, built, brilliant billionaire Jason Mamoa look-alike gunning for revenge.
Almost non-stop action for all three books. International, risky, high stake poker games, combined with Russians, loads of security guards, and lots of plot twists to keep the pages turning.
Deal with the Devil introduces the two and you get to watch them fall for each other. Ends with a cliffhanger that will have you immediately buying Luck of the Devil. It's worth noting that the magic doesn't happen until late in this book. But that's okay because the next two books pack some heat and while it's a trilogy, it's really kind of like one book.
Luck kicks off with good Jericho history, then picks up from the cliff. At one point, Creighton, a billionaire from a prior series, schools Jericho on relationships. He figures it out. Then, boom: massive cliff. Heart of the Devil starts with more background. You get the picture. If you want the story, you read all three books. These are not standalones. There is a free chapter at the end of Book 3, Heart of the Devil, if you sign up for Meghan March's newsletter. This is the first I've read from Meghan March, but I happily signed up to learn about her new releases.
If you like romantic suspense, you'll love this trilogy.

"From Institutions to Faith" – The Church Network Conference General Session
The Church Network's 61st Annual Conference continues in National Harbor Maryland and Dr. Diane Butler Bass led the opening general session discussing the spiritual revolution in America. Over the last 40 years churches and other religious organizations have diversified. The number of those not affiliated with a church home has grown significantly over the past 40 years. Bass stated that 38% of Americans ages 18-29 are unaffiliated with organized religion. Furthermore, attendance in white congregations is declining while attendance in churches of color is growing.
However, Per Dr. Bass, the percentage of people who believe in God has remained constant. In fact, the number of people who have experienced a spiritual or mystical experience has continued to grow since 1962. Forty-eight percent of Americans believe they have had a spiritual experience with God in the last week. In a recent survey, across all demographics, Americans responded positively to the following set of questions:
- How often do you experience a connection to all of life?
- How often do you feel deep inner peace or harmony?
- How often do you feel a deep sense of wonder about the universe?
- How often do you feel a deep connection with nature and the earth?
Furthermore, Bass cited, 8 out of 10 Americans replied that they have experienced a strong sense of gratitude. Americans are finding a personal faith. This change represents a shift in priorities from a faith found in institutions to experience.
For more information on the reshaping and reorganization of faith check out Dr. Bass' new book, Grounded.
Stay tuned for more insights from The Church Network's 2017 Conference from our delegates Becky DaVee and Erika Norton.

A hedge fund run by Sears Holdings chairman Edward Lampert and Cyrus Capital Partners are reportedly working together to prepare a bid to take over the bankrupt retail chain.
According to a report from Bloomberg, the deal may include the swapping of debt for ownership of the stores. Any takeover bid would require the approval of the bankruptcy court.
Published reports have said that Lampert believes the retailer has a future operating as a 500 store chain. Creditors, however, have called for the liquidation of the company.
Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in mid-October and since has announced plans to shutter more than 180 stores combined from its Sears and Kmart brands.

Angus Buchan is a notable evangelist from KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. A man of significant impact and influence, his life and ministries have attracted both applauds and criticisms from many South Africans. Reading through his journey, through life and ministry, somehow, is a wonder and attestation to how God can move a slave from the dunghill and make such sit with princes in high places.
Angus Buchan is best known as a farmer who became an evangelist. His ministry has been on for some decades with many of the activities and wonders that trail their operations making news headlines in major media houses. For everything that you may want to know about his life, family, ministry and his notable national and international events, this piece contains in-depth information about how Angus began and how high he has risen to limelight.
Angus Buchan biography
Angus Buchan is one of South Africa's highly respected evangelists and Christian authors. The celebrated evangelist was the son of immigrants from Scotland with a passionate faith which has always been stirring up revival as well as changing lives to the glory of God. He started his life early as a maize and cattle farmer in the country of Zambia before he later moved with his family to Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal Midlands where they built Shalom farm and also live till date.

While on his farming occupation, Angus Bachan began to sense the call of God upon his life and he got to know that he is sent to spread the gospel of Christ; this is was brought about the founding of Shalom Ministries in 1980. By 1990, Angus Buchan ministries held their first evangelical campaign in Ladysmith, South Africa and since then, several other campaigns like the Mighty Men conferences have been held.
Angus has grown to become a much sought-after conference speaker and author. He has been featured on the 700 Club and at the same time appears on "Family Time" and "Grassroots" every week. Angus Buchan Family Time is a TV programme that is filmed on his farm with a reach to thousands of people across the globe. Specifically, the 30-minutes Angus Buchan Grassroots and Family time are his main TV programs which are usually aired on ASTV, Inspiration TV, Faith Broadcasting Network, GOD TV, TBN UK and a host of other Christian television channels.
Angus Buchan age
Angus was born on the 5th of August, 1947 in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, a country now known to be Zimbabwe. Consequently, he is 71 years old going to 72 years.
Angus Buchan family
Buchan is married to his precious wife Jill Buchan who also plays a significant role in his ministry, and their marriage is blessed with Jilly, Fergus, Robyn, Lindi and Andrew.
Angus Buchan books
Farmer Angus is a prolific writer and has been privileged to author several books among which is his bestseller Faith Like Potatoes. The good thing about the book is its ability to capture and address people of all age groups, cultures, backgrounds and social groups. The title of the book is said to have been derived from the words of a famous American lecturer who would always encourage his students to have faith like potatoes which means that their faith must be fleshed and substantial based on what Hebrews 11:1 says.

Interestingly, the book with the same title was turned into a film in 2006 with huge success so that it has been translated into over 18 different languages including Spanis, French, Italian and Portuguese. Apart from Faith like Potatoes, some other books that have been authored by Buchan include the following:
- Living a Mighty Faith;
- Walking By Faith: A Daily Devotional;
- NKJV Bible With Grassroots Reflections By Angus;
- A Farmer's Year: Daily Truth To Change Your Life;
- The Secret Place: Finding Quiet Time in the Presence of God;
- Come of Age: The Road to Spiritual Maturity;
- Starting the Journey: The most important decision that you can ever make;
- Fathers and Sons: Building a strong and God-honoring relationship;
- God of the Impossible: Amazing testimonies of God's miracle-working power and transforming love;
Angus Buchan events
One of the things that characterise Angus ministry is the dynamic flow of God's presence and how well he has been able to attract multitudes to his meetings. If you ever manage to attend any of his meetings, you will attest to the special grace that this great evangelist carries. For instance, the first Mighty Men Conference that was held on his farm in 2003 started with 240 men has since kept growing in leaps and bounds on a yearly basis to the level that well over 300,000 men had been accounted to be in attendance at a time.
It's Time Angus Buchan prayer meeting is another event of his with tremendous results. According to him, Angus Buchan It's Time meeting is borne out of the need to see people walking in the Spirit and for them to see God's revelations through the eyes of faith. This impactful Angus Buchan prayer day has since grown to become a notable event in the country, and to Angus, the meeting is a history in the making. And no doubt, many will always remember Angus Buchan Mitchells Plain prayer meeting as well as the 2017 Angus Buchan Bloemfontein prayer day.
Angus Buchan quotes
With his wealth of experience and walk with God, there are some quotes from the South African evangelist which are worth inspiring and serves to encourage anyone, especially in downtimes. Some of those include the following:
- If you allow one little sin to creep into your life, and think it doesn't matter, it will grow and grow until it affects your whole spiritual life, deflecting you from your primary aim of serving God.
- Faith is a day-to-day lifestyle and experience of Jesus Christ. That's what we are experiencing at Shalom, when we plant in faith - even in the dust - and trust in him for the miracles of his love.
- We all learned valuable lessons from that crop. The Lord showed us the importance of walking by faith, and not by sight, of trusting him unconditionally and never giving up.
READ ALSO: Caster Semenya biography: age, married, wife, house and net worth
- I believe that family is closer to God's heart than anything else, the support system he has given us to build us up in faith, and to support us when we falter. If we want our family lives to conform to God's will, Jesus must be our priority, our focal point, in our home as well as in our ministries. That doesn't mean that it's always easy to live together: home can be the hardest place to live a Christian life. That's were people see us when we're tired and our defences are down.
- Faith is a day-to-day lifestyle and experience of Jesus Christ. That's what we are experiencing at Shalom, when we plant in faith - even in the dust - and trust in him for the miracles of his love.
Angus Buchan net worth
While there are no specific claims on how much the farmer-turned-evangelist Angus Buchan is worth, there is no doubt in the fact that he is a successful gospel preacher. He is a man who believes that exercising faith can increase one's wealth, even though that belief has attracted lots of criticisms from people.
Angus Buchan contact details
While his personal information is not available to the public, one of the best ways to reach out to Angus is to visit the Shalom farm or go through his ministries' office. The details are given below:
Shalom Ministries office
Phone: 076 431 1743, 076 428 2493
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also contact him by filling out a form on his official website.
Having read through the life of Angus Buchan, one of the questions that possibly would have been raised in your mind is how this immigrant has managed to capture his country for Christ with his faith-based messages. Despite his age, the grace he enjoys and which he uses to attract thousands of people to his meetings is an amazement to anyone. Without fallacy, the evangelist is a man with tremendous results.

I don't own my lipsticks or lipglosses but until a couple of weeks ago I didn't realise quite how pathetic my 'collection' is. In fact I have more tins, tubes and tubs or lipcare product than of colourful delights. And to make matters worst most of them are now several years old but luckily where they are stored means they are in mean they are in tip top condition.
I used to be a sales representative for Avon and therefore I got free and discounted products as well as ones I ordered and then people decided they didn't want before I delivered to them. So a lot of my products come from Avon but only because of that (otherwise I would have even less).
In fact I expect most of the ones I have aren't even for sale anymore but I'll still pop up reviews about them and when possible provide you with links. I'll probably be focussing on going through them for the next week or two but there might be the odd post inbetween if something exciting pops up!
Also I did all the applying to lips in one day so I am wearing the same clothes throughout but obviously haven't worn them for two whole weeks (eurghhh!). It also meant that I had to put some serious lipcare products on afterwards as all that lip cleaning took it out of them.
Avon's Colortrend Lipstick in Amethyst
Whenever I look at this lipstick as a block colour I always expected it to be really shiny and it look completely unsure on what colour it wants to be when applied to the lips. I'm also doubtful because I know how cheap it retails for and know some cheap ones have horrible textures.
But they are actually really easy to apply and creamy. It doesn't tend to bleed off as well which I think is so important for any lip product that isn't a really natural shade.
I actually love this lipstick so much. I massively lack self confidence so I struggle to imagine myself leaving the house in it but perhaps by the end of autumn I'll just about manage it. It applies much more as a red than the purple that the pre-applied colour might suggest.
Whilst this is great for the colour and texture of the product because it is so cheap you might have to reapply a few times throughout the day to bring it back to life. I find it doesn't dry my lips out but I can imagine a few people having difficulty with it as it does smell very chemically and harsh.
Avon do still seem to still actually sell this lipstick although the packaging has unsurprisingly changed a lot since then.
Overall, compared to some others I have used and own, I would have to give this a three out of five. It is a good product and nice colour but doesn't last too long and isn't the best textured lipstick I have ever used. It lacks the wow factor but for the price it is pretty hard to complain!

Sniper Elite 4: Deathstorm Part 1: Inception Launches March 21st; Free Multiplayer Content Coming as Well
Last Week, developer Rebellion Developments provided a post-launch content roadmap for its recently released tactical shooter: Sniper Elite 4. Now, the developer has announced that the first wave of that content will arrive on March 21st for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The first wave, titled Deathstorm Part 1: Inception includes, the opening chapter and mission in the game's new three-part mini campaign that comes with a completely new storyline for 1-2 players. Here's a brief description of the opening mission:
Set after the events of the main game, the first chapter takes players to the colder terrain of northern Italy, and a Nazi naval base recently targeted in a bombing run.
With imposing scaffolding, a German destroyer and myriad Kriegsmarine soldiers to negotiate, Karl Fairburne must help finish what the bombing run started. But his primary mission concerns the secret Manhattan Project: To retrieve a critical, mysterious package codenamed Deathstorm…
The new Night Fighter Expansion Pack will also arrive on March 21st: it includes three new weapons, night-time camo rifle skins for eight weapons, and new male and female character skins. Both the Night Fighter Expansion Pack and Deathstorm Part 1: Inception are included in the Season Pass of the game, or are available as individual purchases. How much both of these will cost, was not divulged.
Sniper Elite 4 is also getting some free content as well. This will come in the form of some new multiplayer content (which will always be free). More specifically, players will be getting a new mode called Elimination. The following overview of Elimination is provided:
This two-team mode for up to 12 players is all about trying to whittle down your opponent's numbers. If you kill an enemy player, they're forced to sit out on the sidelines. But if their team kills one of your teammates, they tag back in one of their sidelined comrades. In Elimination, all is not lost, even when you're 1 v 6.
A free multiplayer map is coming as well, called Night Woods.
Sniper Elite 4 is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Below, you can check out the newly released screenshots for the upcoming content (the last two show off the new map, while the first six show off the new campaign mission):

"For readers of Victoria Aveyard and Kiera Cass comes a darkly fantastical debut set in a modern England where magically gifted aristocrats rule--and commoners are doomed to serve. NOT ALL ARE FREE. NOT ALL ARE EQUAL. NOT ALL WILL BE SAVED. Our world belongs to the Equals--aristocrats with magical gifts--and all commoners must serve them for ten years. But behind the gates of England's grandest estate lies a power that could break the world. A girl thirsts for love and knowledge. Abi is a servant to England's most powerful family, but her spirit is free. So when she falls for one of their noble-born sons, Abi faces a terrible choice. Uncovering the family's secrets might win her liberty--but will her heart pay the price? A boy dreams of revolution. Abi's brother, Luke, is enslaved in a brutal factory town. Far from his family and cruelly oppressed, he makes friends whose ideals could cost him everything. Now Luke has discovered there may be a power even greater than magic: revolution. And an aristocrat will remake the world with his dark gifts. He is a shadow in the glittering world of the Equals, with mysterious powers no one else understands. But will he liberate--or destroy?"--

Effective October 10, 2018, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) added an 87-acre field to the pale cyst nematode (PCN) infested area in Bingham County, Idaho. APHIS took this action based on the confirmations of PCN cysts in soil samples from a potato production field in Bingham County received on September 25, 2018. This action brings the number of PCN-infested fields to 28 and the infested area to 3,130 acres.
Due to sharing of unwashed farm equipment and close proximity to this infested field, APHIS also placed an additional 93-acre field in Bingham County under regulation. In addition, APHIS made a geographic information system-based adjustment to the boundary of an associated field to improve accuracy of the regulated area map, which resulted in removing two acres under regulation in Bingham County. This brings the total regulated area in Idaho to 8,311 acres. Continue reading

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
In the year 1095, Pope Urban II declared war on the infidel. Kings, princes, and lords throughout Europe took up the cross and joined the Crusade. It was Murdo Ranulfson's duty to guard his family's interests while his father and brothers fought to win Jerusalem. But when a greedy king and corrupt clergy charged with the protection of Orkney become its worst enemies, Murdo must undertake the pilgrimage himself. Driven to the sea, Murdo follows the Crusades in the hope of finding his father and redeeming his family's land. His epic journey leads him to the heart of the civilized world, the Mediterranean, where the Emperor Alexius struggles to fend off the barbarian hordes that would rend Christendom and engulf the world in darkness. Murdo's quest carries him to the fabled city of Constantinople and beyond to the Holy Land, guarded by the sword points of the Saracens. Amidst unimaginable brutality and ambition, he finds the man he seeks. Steeped in heroism, treachery, and the clamor of battle, The Iron Lance begins an epic trilogy of a noble Scottish family fighting for its existence and its faith during the age of the Great Crusades -- and of a secret society whose hidden ceremonies will shape history for a thousand years.

It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones;
just pay attention,
then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate,
this isn't a contest
but the doorway into thanks,
and a silence in which another voice may speak.
Mary Oliver THIRST
"… a silence in which another voice may speak."
Did reality as we know it begin in emptiness and silence…then items arrived, collided, evolved into more complex items; stones, plants, animals, and people?
Is it realistic to believe that reality as we know it was conceived not out of silence but from where another voice was speaking?
Jacques Monod, Nobel Prize-winning French biochemist, showed how the living cell manufactures the substances of life.
He states that faith in God is unscientific. He adds that the entire ensemble of nature has arisen out of errors and dissonances. He cannot help but say himself that such a conception is in fact absurd. But, according to him, the scientific method demands that a question not be permitted to which the answer would have to be God.
Michael J. Behe, Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Professor of Biological Sciences, Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture notes that virtually all serious scientists accept the truth of Darwin's theory of evolution. They, like most of the rest of us, accept Darwin's theory to be true.
But should we? Behe argues that evidence of evolution's limits is so small, that we have only recently been able to see it.
As the result of the work of Kendrew (1958) and Watson and Crick (1953), for the first time biochemists actually knew the shapes of the molecules that they were working on. The beginning of modern biochemistry can be dated to that time. Advances in physics and chemistry, too, created a strong synergism for research on life.
Biochemistry has pushed Darwin's theory to the limit by opening the ultimate black box, the cell. It is the astonishing complexity of subcellular organic structures that has forced the question, "How could all this have evolved?"
The result of these cumulative efforts to investigate the cell – to investigate life at the molecular level – is a loud, clear, piercing cry of "design!"
The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science.
Why does the scientific community not greedily embrace its startling discovery? The dilemma is that while one side of the elephant is labeled intelligent design, the other side might be labeled God.
Darwin's Black Box. Michael J. Behe
God looked at everything he had made, and found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed—the sixth day. Genesis 1:31
In the beginning was the Word…. John 1:1
Biblical creation narratives represent another way of speaking about reality. They do not depict the process of becoming or the mathematical structure of matter. Instead, they say in different ways that there is only one God and that the universe is not the scene of a struggle among dark forces but rather the creation of his Word.
God created the universe in order to enter into a history of love with humankind. He created it so that love could exist.
Therefore we must not in our own day conceal our faith in creation. We may not conceal it. Only if it is true that the universe comes from freedom, love, and reason, and that these are the real underlying powers, can we trust one another, go forward into the future, and live as human beings. God is the Lord of all things because he is their creator, and only therefore can we pray to him. For this means that freedom and love are not ineffectual ideas but rather that they are sustaining forces of reality.
IN THE BEGINNING… Pope Benedict XVI

Our Monday and Tuesday shift managers are accompanied by prayer volunteers.
However, there is always room for more. Please come on over.
Honestly, I was dreading the vigil this morning…coming off a hectic week and knowing that forecasted temps were in the teens.
In His goodness, God helped me to show up anyway and provided faith-filled, friendly prayer companions who made my shift very pleasant.
Thank you to Rose, Ben, Vince, Bill, and Sue for showing me God's Smile this morning.
An encouraging sign: many people were interested in taking fetal development literature from Rose!
It was quite cold as I arrived for the 9-11 shift, but when you've been doing this year after year as I have, just the sight of "old faithful" (old in their commitment, NOT in their years!) 40 Days-ers does wonders to warm you up! And that's exactly what happened this morning.
Arriving to Jen and Vince praying felt like a family reunion, and I also met Rose for the first time (who was just as warm and welcoming!).
Vince graciously stayed and prayed the Rosary with me until about 9:30 when the Canonsburg crew arrived. What a prayerful bunch they are! We did a LOT of praying.
There were few passersby – all were either positive or neutral in their reactions to us. The one exception was a lady who just shook her head as she walked by. We prayed for her.
Patty arrived around 10:30 to join us in prayer, and Rich & Roseann, always on top of things, arrived for their shift at least 15 minutes early.
We all finished off the shift with the scriptural Glorious Mysteries.
As Sunday's are for the most part quiet, today was no exception. We were thankful for all those who came to witness and pray with us. You meet the nicest people when you come to 40 days.
St. Colman Church was scheduled during this time.
A passerby stopped and gave a donation today because he was grateful that we were there.
Today my parish, St. Regis in Trafford, was signed-up for the 1-3 shift. Fortunately the weather was good and things were nice and peaceful. I had my family with me (minus the two girls at college) as well as Bibi and Rey, who is a brother Knight of Columbus. Bibi and Rey stayed with me for the bulk of the shift (thanks guys, I really appreciated you being there!). Shift Manager David R. came about a half hour early so I was able to both catch-up with him and spend some time praying in solitude. Near the end, Megan from Mother of Sorrows in Murrysville came with her two daughters to pray and be with David, as did Marian.
It was a beautiful Sunday. We prayed and discussed.
Megan and her daughters arrived for the hour of Mercy.
Marian came for an hour.
Ann reached out graciously to several people with our pamphlets. Phillene, Ann, and Mary Kay prayed the rosary like three little angels.
A lady stopped looking for a young man who has been missing since last month. We prayed for him.
David stayed for my entire shift, because he didn't want me to be alone.
We prayed with a couple of God's children that were suffering.
At the end of the shift David received a call that his brother was in a motorcycle accident and was life flighted to Presby.
Please, let's all lift them up in our prayers.
And God saw that it was good.

Castlemilk Woodlands cover an area of 30 hectares located around a densely populated housing scheme on the periphery of Glasgow. For many years the woodlands and path network have been neglected and local residents have increasingly viewed the park as a place with poor environmental standards and a focus for anti-social behaviour.
There is a remarkable concentration of deprivation in the area. As well has suffering from high levels of unemployment and low income, poor health is a major issue with local residents experiencing higher than average incidences of heart disease, cancer, respiratory ailments and drug missuse problems.
The Castlemilk Woodlands Project sought to address both the environmental degradation of the woodlands and the several key social problems.
It was recognised that, as a local greenspace, Castlemilk Woodlands could play a vital role in improving the social, economic and environmental fabric of the area.
A multi-agency partnership was established in 2010 with the ambition to provide physical greenspace improvements and to improve and enhance opportunities for people to engage with and use the woodlands to improve their own health and well-being.
The project received CSGN Development Funding in 2010 (Ref CSGN039) and 2012 (Ref CSGN474).
In 2010, the funding enabled a focussed second stage community consultation. This built on the previous consultation work in the Summer of 2009. A woodland specialist analysed the local authority proposals for maintenance and development of Castlemilk Park (woods).
Following this work, an action plan was developed that captured the existing work that was being delivered and identified potential gaps.
The CSGN Development Funding in 2012 allowed the first year of a two year employability project to be delivered. So far 19 local unemployed people have received work experience, training and skills development through participation in a programme of work to manage and enhance the local woodlands.
Following the success of the project, the Cassiltoun Trust was awarded £59,200 through the 2014/15 CSGN Development Fund to deliver a further phase of their employability programme. This will provide opportunities for a further 30 individuals to gain skills and support their employment prospects. The project aims to help over 40% of the participants into employment with over 80% gaining additional qualifications.
The Cassiltoun Trust received a further £62,705 through the 2015/16 CSGN Development Fund to deliver the 'Paths to Employment' programme, which aims to assist unemployed people through a voluntary placement scheme.
Participants have gained valuable work experience, while also keeping pathways clear of litter and leaves, allowing the pathways to be used for community events.
"I have just come back from yet another glorious walk in Castlemilk Woodlands. Each time I go is even better than the last...Tonight we had an added bonus by being able to photograph a huge rainbow. The icing on the cake is seeing the difference because of all the work being done to clean up the park and make the scenery look even better. If you like fresh air. This is the place to be."
Muriel Cupples, local resident.
The 2010 CSGN Development Fund grant enabled the Project to undertake extensive consultation in a short time frame. This facilitated the timely appointment of the Community Woodland Officer, in May 2011, who has been key in the establishing a firm base for the Project to build on.
Key to the success of the project has been high quality communications. When the Project started many people were unaware of the woodland, and those who were had negative perceptions. This had to be overcome by a targeted engagement and education programme.
The Project has also benefited from drawing upon the experience, expertise and support of partners, such as Forestry Commission Scotland and Glasgow City Council. Early success encouraged the Project to seek additional CSGN Development Funds in 2012 to deliver an employability programme. This scheme delivers qualifications, training, work experience and job search support for participants and marks an important step for the Project, moving it beyond social and environmental regeneration towards directly addressing the economic problems which local residents face.
Having established a firm base for the Project with considerable local resident and agency support, the Project will continue to work with partners to seek additional funding in order to maintain the current momentum, ensuring that the woodlands continue to be developed sustainably providing local residents with life changing opportunities.

{4.5/5} "You get off the boat for the first time and you realize you're literally on another planet — the air smells different, the water tastes different, the moon's the wrong size and it rises too fast… After a few weeks or months people get disoriented on some deep level. So they turn around and go home. Or else it snaps into place and it starts to feel normal."
Axis by Robert Charles Wilson, published in 2007
Isaac is an unusual 12-year-old boy — he can point towards west after spinning around. He soon finds out that he's an experiment — whose goal is to communicate with the Hypotheticals. Meanwhile, Lise Adams is trying to find out what happened to her father, who disappeared a decade ago. She suspects he may have taken the illegal Martian treatment and become a Fourth.
This book is a sequel to Spin. It takes place some years later, but one character from the first book is still around — Diane. It's not as mind blowing as Spin, but the characters will take you through to the end. It's about trying to figure out what's going on in a universe that is much different from ours, and trying to live on a planet that is somewhat different from ours.
I previously reviewed Spin, the first book in the trilogy.

PMI's definition of a portfolio
Today I did the first interview for the written assignment of the course. I had to document quite a lot so I haven't had time to write anything fruitful on the blog this evening.
This weeks lecture ended up in a bit of a heated discussion on whether operations, by definition, should be included in portfolios or not.
According to PMBOK Guide (p. 13) a portfolio refers to a collection of projects, programs, subsidiary portfolios, and operations managed as a group to achieve strategic objectives.
I guess this case is closed for now.

I Am Strong Because…
I feel very compelled to share this right now. I'm not sure why.
Throughout my emotional and physical recovery from my first (and only, thus far) childbirth, I came across many wonderful networks of support. I often came across stories of women sharing their "I'm Strong Because…" statements, mostly through the wonderful Birth Without Fear page. My mind raced with thoughts of mine at times, although I didn't dare write them down while I was in the midst of it all. I wasn't ready. As these thoughts repeatedly entered my mind however…what choice did I have? Perhaps if you are struggling with anything in your life, you may benefit from this exercise as well.
But now I'm ready. Boy, am I ever…I apologize in advance for the length, and wonder if anybody will really read this anyway…
I am STRONG and LUCKY because I found my perfect partner for life and have made it work with him through high school, separate colleges, and ever since.
WE are STRONG because we have created our own family.
I am STRONG because I nourished my pregnant body the best I could from the second I found out I was expecting.
I am STRONG because I carried fifty extra pounds on my aching frame for 40 weeks and 6 days.
I am STRONG because my body started labor on its own and endured so much for 36 hours.
I am STRONG because I cleaned my car in between contractions. Vacuumed the trunk and everything.
I am STRONG because I handled my back labor the best that I could, despite it affecting my old tailbone injury. Nobody told me it was back labor though so I figured it was just how labor was, and did not know how I was going to make it.
I am STRONG because I agreed to the epidural they encouraged me to get now so that I wouldn't be too tired to push later. I didn't want one, but felt like my back was breaking.
I am STRONG because I didn't know my baby was posterior until after I got the epidural and could no longer do anything about it myself.
I am STRONG because I continued labor on my back with an epidural that eased my stomach pains but not my tailbone pains for another day yet, and with a catheter that was found WAY later to be inserted incorrectly and my baby's head ended up pushing against it for who knows how long.
I am STRONG because I did not get to eat or drink anything until hours after my baby arrived.
I am STRONG because I tried my best to sleep, even though I could not with the incessant beeping from the monitors I was told I needed, and the constant checks on my progress. I felt like a watched pot by my family and "care" providers.
I am STRONG because after not progressing for a while (oddly following the Pitocin I "needed" and didn't know I was allowed to refuse), my OB told me I would need a c-section. She left the room and Big Daddy Orange and I cried together before accepting this as truth.
I am STRONG because I was told I didn't need the Cesarean after all since by the time they got around to it (some emergency, huh?), my body made it to 10 centimeters! Whew, I thought I dodged a bullet there.
I am STRONG because I endured urethra and bladder damage from the incorrect catheter. As soon as it was removed, I progressed rather quickly.
My baby is STRONG because my water was full of meconium, but he was healthy.
I am STRONG because I pushed for two and a half hours. I am STRONG because I really loved this part. I am STRONG because I wanted to push my baby out so badly. I am STRONG because pushing until my eyes ached descended my baby as far as he would go.
I am STRONG because I waited another hour for the c-section after all, after my OB wouldn't let me push anymore.
I am STRONG because my body was uncontrollably shaking on the operating table. I was freezing from a fever and could not keep my top half from convulsing, while not feeling my bottom half at all.
My husband is STRONG because he NEVER left my side through all of this.
My husband is STRONG because he stayed face to face with me and talked with me as they cut me open. I actually forgot where I was for a minute and had a few laughs with him.
We are STRONG because when we heard our baby cry and heard "It's a boy!", we were completely caught off guard and had a truly amazing moment together. Ah, so thankful for this.
I am STRONG because I had to let the doctors and nurses evaluate my baby first (because of the meconium) before I could see him.
Daddy is STRONG because he showed me our child with tears in his eyes, above his surgical mask.
I am STRONG because I breastfed my baby within the first hour of his life, and this is the first time I felt at peace for a bit.
I am STRONG because I kept telling everybody I did my best and wanted everybody to know I didn't fail, although I felt like it and was sure that's what they were thinking.
My son and I are STRONG because we were DETERMINED to breastfeed successfully, and thankfully eased right into it.
I am STRONG because I am still proudly nursing my son at 16 months.
I am STRONG because the first few days after birth were incredibly painful, humiliating (loss of bodily control and nurses who were in no rush to help me), and indescribable. Yet I still got out of bed to get my baby.
I am STRONG because ten days later, my incision reopened and "stuff" oozed out of me faster than we could contain. This was the most frightening moment of my life and I will never forget the sights, smells, feelings, etc. My incision was infected. Nobody has ever told me why or how.
I am STRONG because we wrapped me up in beach towels, grabbed our newborn, and went to the ER where I was scolded for not just going to my OB's office instead.
I am STRONG because they had to completely reopen my incision, painfully, in the ER and pack it full of gauze. While we were there for six hours, I continued to nurse my newborn when necessary.
I am STRONG because I had to keep going to the ER every day to get my gauze changed, because my OB's office was closed due to snow.
I am STRONG because I figured out my own care when nobody wanted to put me back together. The ER said I shouldn't come in there for that anymore, and my OB said I should go to the ER. After days of feeling abandoned, but knowing I NEEDED my gauze changed somehow, I found a Wound Care Specialist. I am STRONG because I continued to go to urgent care centers since I couldn't be seen yet for over a week.
I am STRONG because I had a home health care nurse come daily, then every other day, to pack my gauze for over a month so that it healed from the inside out. I am STRONG because this was excruciating, although I got used to it more each time. They often cauterised parts of my incision that were starting to heal together too fast on the outside.
My husband is STRONG because he had to learn to change and pack my wound after that since I wasn't allotted any more visits.
I am STRONG because I walked around for three months with a gaping open wound full of saline and gauze, as well as a re-injured tailbone that I am still dealing with.
I am STRONG because through all of this, I took care of a newborn the best I could.
I am STRONG because I suffered from postpartum depression, quite severely at points.
I am STRONG because I asked for help. From my amazing husband, from true friends who remained there for me while most did not, and from an incredible Christian therapist.
I am STRONG because I was diagnosed from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and have faced my issues head on.
I am STRONG because I've fallen many times, but I get back up stronger. Every. Time.
I am STRONG because in my lowest, most empty moments I found God, more than ever. I yearn to grow closer and closer to Him each day.
I am STRONG because, as horrible as I felt, I found playgroups and activities for Tangerine since he was a few months old. He and I have both made so many new friends.
I am STRONG because I worked hard to fall more and more out of my fog, and more and more in love with my absolutely perfect son.
I am STRONG because I have educated myself on more things than most people ever really need to, including healthier ways to live and keep my child's body working as it was meant to.
I am STRONG because, although I felt I failed as a mother for many reasons, I now realize I was a mother all along because I've always done what I thought was best for my son.
I am STRONG because when you know more, you do more. And I will not allow many things that I can control to happen again next time.
I am STRONG because I am no longer terrified to attempt this "having babies" thing again.
I am STRONG because I will hopefully attempt a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) someday, and accept whatever outcome may arise.
I am STRONG because I have found my voice. I talk openly about my feelings and am passionate about helping others in any way that I can.
I am STRONG because I am finished letting regret, doubt, anger, jealousy, and pain take away the joy of my present. I may have missed out on a precious time with my son at first, but I refuse to miss out anymore.
I am STRONG because I am ALIVE. And blessed for everywhere I've been.
And now YOU are TIRED after reading all of that! Thank you for "listening" to my semi-birth story. I would love to hear your thoughts! Please leave me a comment!

Ivan Vesely is reversing negative perceptions of the Romani minority in Central Europe through alternative Romani-produced media and public events. At the same time, Ivan encourages Romani people to self-organize around community problems, an essential part of overcoming their marginalized position in mainstream society.
The New Idea
For too long, Central European Romani or gypsies, have survived on society's fringes. Rather than helping them, mainstream media has perpetuated societal prejudice and further alienated these communities. To reverse their marginalization, Ivan is providing various new platforms from which they can be heard. Most notably, he has established a media platform—produced by Roma—that give voice to an array of Roma issues in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and beyond. Beginning with a Romani-led magazine and radio station, the media has several functions: 1) to combat predominantly negative or condescending stereotypes of the Romani minority in Central European society by providing alternative perspectives 2) to bring Romani issues to public attention, and 3) to provide the Romani themselves with models for self-organization, discussion, and problem-solving. The last function is the most important aspect of Ivan's work and he promotes it with a complementary strategy of Romani community organizing. Ivan founded a network of Romani clubs throughout the Czech Republic, built on the idea of Romani coming together to identify common challenges faced by their communities and ultimately improve their situation. These issues serve as content for Ivan's magazine and radio, but also as focal points to organize public events that intend to change unjust policy toward the Romani in the Czech Republic, and in the future, across Central Europe.
The Problem
Despite the relative success of the Czech Republic during its post-communist transformation, the country's public policy has largely overlooked its population of approximately 300,000 Romani. Just after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, many Roma had their Czech citizenship revoked, reducing them to second-class citizens. Numerous examples illustrate the extreme disdain with which the Romani are viewed by much of mainstream Czech society and the extent of the implications. At least one city has built a wall around its Roma neighborhood, and many more have been moving the Roma to barren apartments on the outskirts of cities or into urban ghettoes. The majority of Romani children are disproportionately placed in "special" schools. Recently, the Czech public was shocked to learn of cases of sterilization of Romani women. Finally, at Lety, the site of a WWII concentration work camp, where several thousand Roma perished, there remains a pig farm. Much of the mainstream media in the Czech Republic and throughout Central Europe portrays only stereotypes and prejudices of the Romani. At best, they are a romanticized stereotype, and at worst, they are scapegoats for societal ills. For example, before the Czech Republic's acceptance into the European Union, the Roma were accused of drawing negative attention during their travels abroad; threatening the process toward EU acceptance. Most journalists do not focus on Romani issues or attempt to thoroughly understand their situation—when they do, the Romani are almost always portrayed in a negative light. In this way, mainstream media promotes the notion that Roma are the problem and desensitizes the public to racial prejudice and extremism. Almost no one challenges this perception of the Roma or tries to change the situation. Because the Romani are so discriminated against, their problems are largely ignored. Their interests are often represented only by charities, citizen organizations (COs), and a handful of minority politicians. And because they have been marginalized for so long, most do not think they are capable of improving their situation. A practical question for the Roma has been how to have the agency to talk about their issues for themselves. So far, there has been no forum to discuss and challenge not only the problem of representation but also the many struggles of the Romani minority in Czech Republic. Existing attempts at giving the Romani a voice in the media have limited impact. Run by COs, they rely heavily on enthusiasm and voluntary work and consist mostly of narrowly focused web resources and specialized magazines. Written documents and internet-based materials do not reach far in a population that is largely illiterate and without access to the internet. The Romani also lack a way of finding out about these activities.
The Strategy
Ivan's current activities are aimed at changing the position of the Roma in society through providing unbiased information from the regions and communities on issues facing the Roma. He is systematically building all the components of a new media platform that links the Romani and the rest of society. He also designs various forums for Romani to identify the major problems faced by their community and for society as a whole to discuss issues related to tolerance and ethnic cohabitation in the Czech Republic.Ivan's Dzeno Association, established in 1994, publishes Amaro Gandalos, a Romani magazine and produces Radio Rota, an internet-based radio station. Radio Rota is the 8th most listened-to internet radio station in Czech Republic. Through this media channel, Ivan tries to provide balanced and objective information on the Roma, their lives, problems, and differences as well as traditional values. Because he is targeting the perceptions of mainstream society, Ivan ensures that the magazine and radio language is as understandable and accessible to as many people as possible. A significant component of producing this media is having Romani journalists who are trained to write it. As a result, Ivan has created a training program for Romani journalists. He ensures that all staff collect original information and are capable of editing and preparing their work to serve his overarching purpose.As much as it is intended for mainstream society, Ivan's new media is also targeted at the Romani community, giving them new ways to talk about the issues that affect them. Media content encourages dialogue and self-organization, and offers examples and role models for Romani communities. But Ivan goes beyond mere examples to foster community building among the Romani, primarily through a network of partners and cooperating volunteers throughout the Czech Republic who organize events and regular club meetings. These events and clubs are intended to strengthen the Roma community across the country, but also to serve as a better way to identify key issues facing the community today.Ivan soon plans to launch a live satellite broadcasting of the Radio Rota, taking it beyond the confines of the internet. This is essential, he realizes, because most Romani do not have access to internet resources and are sometimes illiterate. A radio broadcast can also have an impact beyond the borders of the Czech Republic, as the Czech language is accessible to Slovaks and a majority of the Czech Roma originally come from Slovakia. Ivan has a clear launch strategy, consisting of thorough methodological, technological and human preparations. He plans to sustain this initiative with state funding, as the Czech constitution guarantees support for minority media. To change public perspectives of the Romani, Ivan also communicates with influential public officials to help make the Romani voice heard at the highest levels. In addition, he organizes events that provoke broader discussion in mainstream society. For example, he organized a hearing in the Czech parliament, where he brought 150 Roma together with 150 members of parliament to discuss several pertinent issues for the Roma minority. This event led to the amendment of several laws, regulations and policies, which have directly influenced the Roma community. Although his primary focus is on the Roma in the Czech Republic, Ivan is aware that many of their problems are similar to those in other countries. Therefore, he regularly organizes cross-border conferences and information exchange, in addition to advocating for a network of like-minded media in Central and Eastern Europe. Besides 11 people working with him in the Czech Republic, he has two other correspondents in Hungary and one in Slovakia. They provide information in their local language, which in the future can prove useful for effective exchange of information across the borders. His next steps for regional expansion are to broadcast in Hungary and Slovakia.
The Person
Ivan is a Romani himself and his life and career cannot be understood without his personal experiences. His first encounter with the media was in 1991 when Ivan was physically attacked and robbed by a group of right-wing extremists. Afterwards, he decided to publish a magazine that would provide both the Roma and wider public with true information about the subject. Although not meant as a continuous source of information, the success of the first issue was an important moment and led him to pursue activities in realm of media.Ivan's experience in producing some of the first Romani programs for Czech TV or as a Romani representative to various governmental committees made him aware that CO activism and high level politics are insufficient without real Romani representation.His knowledge of media is thorough. He wrote one of the first articles analyzing the portrayal of the Romani by the Czech press, which was published in Romano Džaniben in 1994. In addition, he produced 64 issues of Romale, a television magazine in cooperation with Czech TV until 1999. Ivan is a perfectionist and disciplined worker. Between 1996 and 2000 he decided to pursue further education in the field of sociology and Romani studies. Today Ivan is respected as one of the most remarkable Romani advocates and spokesmen for the Romani community in the Czech Republic and in Central and Eastern Europe. For 7 years he was a member of the board of directors of the Open Society Foundation in Prague and for 4 years he held an honorary office at the Roma advisory board at the Open Society Institute, in Budapest. His dedication to representation, democracy and human rights is further illustrated by his work as an election observer at Official OSCE missions in Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, Ukraine, and Belarus.

Leicester City have rejected a bid believed to be in the region of £20 million from AFC Bournemouth for Demarai Gray.
It is no secret that Eddie Howe has been an admirer of the 21-year-old ever since his time at Birmingham City, after he tried to sign him there, too.
It was only yesterday (2nd August) that Gray's representatives held talks talks with Leicester director of football Jon Rudkin about his future with the winger believed to be frustrated at his lack of game time.
Leicester no intention of letting youngster go
But boss Craig Shakespeare insisted Gray is happy at the King Power and has no interested in selling the hot prospect, who is also attracting interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
"We've had conversations, myself and Dimi. It is well-documented. We have spoken about trying to give him more game-time and we are both happy with that." Shakespeare told the Leicester Mercury, after Leicester's pre-season defeat at Burton.
The ex-Birmingham City winger made 30 appearances for the Foxes last season, but only nine of them were starts.
Is Gray the perfect fit for Cherries?
Eddie Howe's men proved last season they could attract the big name players with the signing of Jack Wilshere and then again in this window with Jermain Defoe, Nathan Ake and Asmir Begovic putting pen to paper down on the south coast.
An whilst some may expect Gray to join a bigger club should he leave Leicester, perhaps Bournemouth would be a match made in heaven.
The England U21 international would fit the mould down at the Vitality Stadium and could be the last piece of Eddie Howe's jigsaw.

Eric Kraus | Vice President and General Manager of Fraud, Risk and Compliance, FIS
October 10, 2019
Financial service providers invest to improve customers experiences through engagement on social media and digital platforms to promote solutions, extend new services, provide servicing and more. But along with increased digital engagement come new risks as fraudsters shift their attacks to digital theft of customer data, financial fraud and social engineering scams. Unfortunately, education only goes so far in protecting customers, and sometimes employees, from increasingly sophisticated threats
Numerous password breaches have perpetrated fraud-as-a-service schemes enabling nearly anyone with bad intent to enter the arena. Key threats in 2019 include digital fraud, social media scams and phishing attacks.
Startling statistics from RSA underscore the rapid rise in cyber fraud:
The fallout from cyber fraud for institutions can be devastating and result in loss of data, customer trust, reputation and revenue as well as incurring compliance violations. In a study on the psychology of waiting, 61 percent of respondents said they would leave their bank if the financial institution failed to report a fraudulent charge before they did.
Rapid detection of a digital attack or identification of information leaked across social media or the deep and dark web translates to reduced monetary loss exposure and hours saved for both consumers and fraud investigators.
Actions required to reverse the rising tide of digital fraud include:
Few financial service providers have sufficient resources to accomplish these tasks. However, new managed services such as the Digital Risk Protection Platform will monitor activity across digital channels to identify risk, protect an institution and its customers and remediate threats. When your institution is ready to evaluate managed services for digital risk mitigation, look for:
