Sweeney Todd with his catch phrase "I polish 'em off," is a man who needs no introduction, but was he real? He is a one of the most established figures of crime fiction and has been portrayed in films, books and musicals.
Recently the Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp as the notorious villain himself, slashing the throats of victims before dispatching them via a trapdoor into the basement of his accomplice Mrs Lovett's pie shop. She was then said to have turned the poor victims bodies into meat pies.
The popularity of the character remains undiminished, but was Sweeney Todd a true story or not. The big question everyone wants to know the answer to is, "Was the demon barber real or merely based on legend and myth?"
Did Sweeney Todd Exist the facts – Sweeney Todd the myth and legend – Sweeney Todd's Story
The Sweeney Todd story become widely known in 1785 when Todd's premises were searched supposedly enough property and clothing was found to indicate there had been at least 160 victims making him to this day one of the world's most prolific serial killers, however oddly the facts about his case are remarkably poorly documented, both in terms of newspaper reports and court documents.
At the time there should have been extensive transcripts recorded by clerks of any case brought before a court, it is after all the founding of our present legal system. The fact that there is no such transcripts concerning Sweeney Todd makes the part of his saga where after being caught he was brought before a magistrate who sentenced him to hang, is almost certainly untrue, if he did exist he didn't meet his end at the gallows.
There is also no record of him being sent to Newgate prison as a teenager. Further more the only newspaper of the day which mentions anything resembling him by name was the 'Newgate calendar' the Newgate Calendar wasn't a newspaper to be trusted. Many of its stories were exaggerated or simply fictitious, the other newspapers at the time never run any stories concerning our demon barber.
This is unusual as the newspapers at the time would have been expected to pick up such a sensational story and run with it as they did with other villains. For example turning the likes of Dick Turpin, Captain Kidd, Jack Sheppard the great escaper, James Mclean the highwayman and Jonathan Wild Prince of Thieves into the celebrities of their day.
All of the aforementioned criminals have been proven to have been real people and presently all are less famous than Todd is today, in fact the most comparable criminal to Sweeney Todd is Jack the ripper a man who was never caught leaving a mystery which like Todd leaves room for the imagination to fill in the gaps.
However not all the evidence points to him being a fictional character. In an account published about the middle of the 18th century and unearthed and reprinted in 1956 in 'The Story Pages Collector' states that several bodies were found buried under the floor of a cellar in an empty shop by a team of builders, that shop happened to be 186 Fleet Street the very address accredited to Sweeney Todd.
The account goes on to state that the previous owner has been a barber named Sweeney Todd who was deceased. I'm aware that this evidence on its own doesn't conclusively prove his existence on its own, but it may shed light on why there is no documented transcripts of Sweeney Todd's trial, the bodies were found after Todd's death and you cant try a dead man.
In addition, research unearthed by the historian O.G. Lofts says that in the 1880s some of the old buildings in Fleet Street were demolished and under 186 Fleet Street a pit of bones was unearthed, at the time the bones were attributed to the nearby St Dunstable Church, but why were they found so far away from the church.
What is evident and we do know to be true is that there was and in some places still are a network of tunnels passage ways and cellars that with modification could have been used to connect the church's catacombs with 186 Fleet Street and Bells Yard, these underground passageways were so crucial to the story and which Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett made so much use of.
Also of interest, at the time London like the rest of the country had no police force, in fact we were one of the last countries in Europe to have one, any previous attempt to form one had seemed an infringement on civil liberties and something un-English.
What Londoners of this area did have however were Bow Street Runners, named after the house in Bow Street where their chief resided, they had no uniform or salary, their wage simply was a share of any rewards, fine or fees they imposed and presumably any bribes they could get.
The Bow Street Runners did keep records of there investigations and cases they dealt with, these would be invaluable if they still existed, unfortunately when they were replaced and made way for a more modern police force regrettably their records were destroyed including if they existed those concerning Sweeney Todd.
Did Sweeney Todd exist, my suspicion is that he didn't, but it is impossible to say for sure, I would like to say like almost everything that has been written about the man 'based on actual authentic events' but the truth is I simply don't know. Whether the stories are based on a composite figure which was made by combining the motives and modes of murder of many villains and killers is however certainly tenable.
Read on to find the more information and answers answers to questions such as:-
how many people did sweeney todd kill
where did sweeney todd live
Details of the sweeney todd murders
what did sweeney todd do
mrs lovett's pie shop
Sweeney Todd is the cannibalistic forerunner for many a killer, Hannibal Lector being the latest incarnation, they all draw on one of mankind's most persistent subconscious fears 'that of being killed and eaten' it is something that is buried in the recesses of our minds particularly that of children, it is not hard to see why he has had such an lasting morbid fascination, and its is unsurprising that he can be traced back so far.
How far the verbal stories and London gossip concerning Sweeney Todd date back is impossible to tell or indeed if the legend is untrue where it came from. Dating all the way back to the fifteenth century is a French ballad that used to be sung to children, the song tells about a demon barber who cuts his clients throats dumps them into his cellar before turning them into pies, like Sweeney Todd he works with an accomplice a 'ferocious female,' similarly to Sweeney Todd he is tied to a specific locality, in this case '24 Rue des Marmouzets,' one of the lines of the song is "and he says of his customers when defunct, they are gone pork creatures."
If this is the true origin of the myth of Sweeney Todd and due to the striking similarity it is quite probable, how and when the demon barber was transformed to London is unknown, but even before the character we now know as Sweeney Todd was formed there was plenty of gossip and rumors about him as he slowly became part of folklore, Charles Dickens alluded to him but drew short of mentioning his name in his novel Martin Chuzzlewit first published in 1844 'Upon my word thought Tom, quickening his pace "I don't know what John will think has become of me. He'll begin to be afraid I have strayed into one of those streets where the countrymen are murdered; and that I have been made meat pies of, or some such horrible thing."'
Published in 1847 'The String of Pearls' assured Sweeney Todd his fame and immortality, it was the start of the legend that we know and recognize as Sweeney Todd, published in a series in a semi legal magazine nearly a hundred years since Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett were said to be at large on the streets of London.
The actual author or authors of these highly influential penny dreadfuls, as they were called at the time, is not known adding to the sagas mystery, what we do know is that the publisher was a man called Edward Lloyd (1814-90), he started in publishing with a pirate version of 'Pitman's Shorthand,' he renamed it 'Lloyd's Stenographer' and sold it for a fraction of the price of the genuine version.
With the profits he then went on to publish sensational accounts of highwaymen, pirates and murderers often stolen and plagiarized from other authors. Along the way he picked up Thomas Peckett Prest (1810-49) and James Malcolm Rymer (1815-89) whom he employed as hacks, both could write several series simultaneously and at amazing speed, and both are likely to have done some of the writing on 'The String of Pearls.'
The stories they produced were sold in penny serials to an audience hungry for stories full of blood, gore and horror, hence their name penny dreadfuls. It was one of these serials called 'The People's Periodical and Family Library' that the 'The String of Pearls' ran.
From its text and style of writing the 'The String of Pearls' suggest it has more than one author perhaps even three, sub plots and characters appear and disappear for no obvious reason, chapter titles which serve as a plan for the book often don't match the chapter themselves.
Later Lloyd started more legitimate journals and seeking respectability collected as many of his former publications as possible, unfortunately he was quite successful and now any of Lloyds publications are extremely rare which has further added to Sweeney Todd's mystery.
After the publication of 'The String of Pearls' Sweeney Todd has become one of the best known names in Crime stories, he's appeared in plays, books and serializations along side Jack the Ripper and Dracula he is the villain everybody loves to hate, through countless novels, films, melodramas, cameo's and even musicals all of which have drawn heavily on the 'The String of Pearls' and all boosting and further fueling the myth that is Sweeney Todd the demon barber of Fleet Street, so much so hat his name has become immortal.
'The String of Pearls' influenced everything that has been written about Sweeney Todd since, it also had a great influence on many of the fictional villains that came thereafter, Mr Hyde and Dracula are made in his mold yet somehow not equal to him, the misguided good of Dr Jekyll balances the evil of Mr Hyde, Dracula manages against the odds to evoke pity from Mina Harker, Todd in contrast goes about his deeds with a ghoulish humor, a boldness and panache, he does simply for the love of money and because he wants to, the writer asks no excuse for his behavior and seeks no justification.
At one point Sweeney Todd became so popular that by the 1940's the word barber was actually beginning to be considered vulgar, teacher even urging their pupils to only use the word hairdresser, in a study of juvenile literature E.S. Turner wrote in 1948 that the astonishing popularity of Sweeney Todd has caused a good old English word to lapse into disrepute and should now be replaced by the word hairdresser.
With depressingly predictability Sweeney Todd has produced copy cat crimes and imitated murders, the most prolific was between 1918 and 1924 a German called Fritz Hartman killed and murdered some fifty men and boys he then sold their meet for human consumption.
When was Sweeney Todd born and What street did Sweeney Todd live on?
London's East End is credited to many of Britain's most famous criminals, Sweeney Todd among them. Born on 26th October 1756 in Brick Lane then a slum within a dangerous and overcrowded district, within the buildings generally there was a family to each room, the few rags on their backs comprising the principal part of their property.
Todd's mother was not yet in her twenties and inhabited the attic of a decaying building, both his parent worked if work was available weaving silk, work however was infrequent, both his parents were alcoholics spending their time and what little money they had drinking gin.
Sweeney Todd's father gave little help in raising his son his only input being the occasional drunken beating, his mother was unable to have anymore children so Sweeney was an only child, Sweeney Todd was later to say of his mother "My mother used to make quite a pet of me, I was fondled, kissed and called pretty boy. But later I used to wish I was strong enough to throttle her."
A young Sweeney Todd however did manage to find a way of escaping the drudgery of daily life, the Tower of London was little more than a mile walk away from his home, at the time it was primary a prison for political prisoners but was also open to the public and people were invited to come and view its instruments of torture, this was done with the intent of discouraging crime and disobedience. The Tower also housed the royal zoo which had lions, tigers, hyenas and wolves, but it was those instruments of torture which so intrigued the ghoulish fascination of Sweeney Todd and he returned time and again to see them.
In the 17th to 18th century northern Europe was a great deal colder than it is today, during winter the Thames would freeze over and the ice was so thick and stable Londoners would stage frost fairs on the ice with rows of stalls and booths, they would sell food and offer entertainment, the ice was so thick they would even light fires on the ice.
During these harsh winters many people would freeze to death particularly vulnerable were those amongst the poor, coal was scarce and expensive as the ships and barges were no longer able to bring fresh supplies. The winter in Sweeny Todd's twelfth year was particularly severe and as the coal dried up people found it impossible to maintain consistent heat for themselves, as bitterly cold week followed bitterly cold week people were freezing to death in their homes. For Sweeney Todd's family there was no work and the last of their money had been spent on gin.
One morning the 12 year old Sweeney Todd awoke to find his parents gone, whether they had gone out to search for more gin and froze to death in the streets or whether they had simply left him to his fate is unknown, but the event left Sweeney Todd emotionally scared, in time he came to believe that hey had perished in that terrible winter, upon his capture he said "The church I was christened at burnt down the day after, and all the books burned, my father and mother are dead, and the nurse was hanged and the doctor cut his throat."
Its is not known how Sweeney Todd survived that winter alone, but survive he did and his next known whereabouts was when he became an apprentice to a cutler in Holborn London, at the time child labor was quite common, however children who had been orphaned or abandoned were vulnerable to the worst of it, children who didn't have a parent or guardian were at the mercy of the parish and the parish to off load them out of there care would apprentice them to whom ever would take them, the child basically becoming their new masters property to do with as he pleased.
The system was clearly open to terrible abuses, and to anybody who knows Charles Dicken's novel Oliver Twist, the story maybe fiction but the conditions he describes are far from fanciful, children were taken on and forced to commit crimes so if caught the children would face the hangman's noose sparing their masters necks.
The man Sweeney Todd was an apprentice to was a cutler, cutlers were artisans who worked in metal, John Crook, Sweeney Todd's new master was a specialist in razors, Todd it seems learnt a lot from his master for it was here he learnt the skills to design and build his revolving chair he would later use in his crimes. His apprenticeship however came to an abrupt end when in 1770 he was accused of petty theft, brought before a magistrate and sent to Newgate Prison for 5 years.
Newgate prison no longer exists, but in its day was notorious and greatly feared by Britain's criminal classes, it was where all the most infamous and distinguished villains were sent. Many who entered Newgate never survived their sentences, conditions were so bad that without money to bribe the gaolers' survival was difficult and that's without even taking into account coping with your fellow violent inmates.
Sweeney Todd however survived by being taken on as an assistant 'soap boy' to the prison barber, he secured his new role due to his experience as a cutler sharpening razors. The barber was a fellow inmate called Plummer who was serving 10 years for embezzlement.
In those days a barber's role was considerably greater than simply cutting hair and shaving, they actually served as a doctor as well, performing minor operations and treating many minor ailments, in fact being able to wield their blades on human flesh was the measure of a barber in the day. In the filthy disease ridden Newgate Prison the barbers skills were no doubt in great demand and it was from Plummer Sweeney Todd learnt his trade.
Being Plummers assistant however didn't save him from cruel beatings inflicted by fellow prisoners as well as gaolers, one such beating occurred whilst Plummer watched on without intervening until Sweeney Todd was all but beaten to death.
In 1775 at 19 years of age and with a new profession Sweeney Todd was released from Prison. It seems he didn't immediately return to crime, but instead became a mobile barber setting himself up on street corners, at markets or fairs and offering his services to passers-by's. Five years after his release with the help of a lady friend he had earned enough money to set himself up with premises near Hyde Park corner, the lady who was helping him he referred to as his wife although there is no record of him actually being married.
However Sweeney Todd's temper was to reveal its self when a young gentleman, slightly the worst for drink came into be shaved, while being shaved he described the favours a lady had given him, in describing the lady Todd concluded he was talking about his wife and slit his throat from ear to ear before absconding.
Sweeney Todd's next known whereabouts was in Fleet Street where he set up another barber shop and hung his now famous sign 'Easy shaving for a penny, as good as you'll find anywhere.' Fleet Street back then was known for its lawlessness and not a place a stranger would want to venture after dark and it was these reasons which attracted Sweeney Todd to the area.
Todd's next known murder was recorded although not at the time attributed to him in the Daily Courant on 14/04/1785:
'A horrid murder has been committed in Fleet Street on the person of a young gentleman from the country while on a visit to relatives in London. During the course of a walk through the city, he chanced to stop to admire the striking clock of St Dunstan's church and there fell into conversation with a man in the clothing of a barber. The two men came to an argument, and of a sudden the barber took from his clothing a razor and slit the throat of the young man, thereafter disappearing into the alleyway of Hen and Chicken Court and was seen no more'
Where his life went from thereon, is a matter of contention. There are many reports both numerous but conflicting.

Hello Martin,
Thank you for the quick reply. I have been able to install. The steps I followed are from this article: http://www.securecentos.com/monitoring/install-monit/
But after that I have no idea how to make it work. I had setup the port number and userid/pass to access it through a browser but even that does not work.
Harish Chouhan
From: Martin Pala [mailto:address@hidden
what exactly the problem is and what doesn't work for you?
The installation should be easy - you can either build the RPM package from the source code and then install the rpmbuild product:
rpmbuild -tb monit-5.3.1.tar.gz
or you can use binary build from here (either 32-bit or 64-bit version - depends on your system):
The configuration is easy - the monitrc contains examples which you can uncomment and modify, another examples are here: http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/ConfigurationExamples.
Please read monit manual for more details:

Premier Christy Clark surprised the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention on Sept. 20 when she gave the green-light for a bridge to replace the 1958-built Massey Tunnel between Richmond and Delta. She didn't mention how much it would cost British Columbians. She only spoke of the benefits and that construction would begin in 2017, the next election year. Just a week-and-a-half after the announcement, four major, nine-year contracts were advertised — including community relations and consultation, technical advisory, environmental management and owner's engineer services. Transport Minister Todd Stone eventually revealed the project could cost $3 billion. But that didn't get as much attention as Clark's speech.
This is from the same BC Liberal government that is mandating Metro Vancouverites vote next fall on funding for billions of dollars of transit improvements in Vancouver and Surrey. I like that idea, because voting on major projects should be standard in British Columbia at a time when the provincial debt is forecast to hit $62 billion. The politicians come and go, but it's the average people who will be paying off the debt for each project for decades to come. Can we afford to do it? Can we afford not to do it? Should hospitals and schools get funding instead? Let's see the business case. Then let the people debate and decide. But I wonder, why does the Massey Tunnel replacement get special, no-referendum treatment? Why can't we vote on this project? How will it impact the Deas Island Regional Park? How will it impact the dwindling supply of nearby farmland? How will it be financed?
Well, the government is trying to keep that information away from you and me.
Via Freedom of Information, I asked for the business case, including cost estimates, and any reports recommending or authorizing preliminary communications, environmental, engineering and site preparation.
The government told me on Nov. 5 that it has 60 pages of records to satisfy my request. Excellent! But there's a catch. The government wants me to pay $126. It claims it will require two hours to produce the records and a further two hours to prepare and handle disclosure of the records. (Translation: one or more people will work for four hours to read and decide how much information to censor and how little to show you and me.)
While it says the cost of scanning is only $6 (at 10 cents a page), I did the math and the real average cost per page is $2.10. See the letter from the Ministry of Finance below. I am a frequent requester via FOI and never has a government of any level in Canada asked me to pay so much for so little.
What is going on?
I'm reminded of the words of Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Democrat from Vermont, who said "…agencies should not be allowed to use fees as an offensive weapon against requesters seeking access to government information." I'm also reminded of the words of Premier Clark herself, when she unveiled her Open Government Initiative in July 2011 with this video message to the B.C. Public Service. Clark famously proclaimed:
"Open government is about giving people access to the information that they need to participate and to help us find solutions to the issues that affect us all. "After all, it's taxpayers' money and it's taxpayers' information… "It's time to open government. To connect and communicate with the people that we all serve. "Government belongs to the people and by working together we can engage British Columbians and get more of them involved in making our province an even better place."
Premier Clark, I challenge you to do the right thing. Put the free back into Freedom of Information. Live up to your open government promise. Cancel the $126 charge and show the people of British Columbia the business case for the Massey Tunnel replacement. All 60 pages. Now. After all, it's taxpayers' money and it's taxpayers' information.
UPDATE (Dec. 2, 2013): My request to the Ministry of Finance for a fee waiver based on the public interest was denied — see the letter at bottom.
I have also filed a complaint to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
UPDATE (May 21, 2014): I received a May 20 letter from OIPC investigator Tim Mots with goods news for you and me. "During mediation, the Ministry informed me that it would waive the fee in its entirety."
It is both good news and proof that complaining to the OIPC can bear fruit. But it is not a victory when it takes six-and-a-half months for the government to scrap its wrong, irrational and, frankly, dubious attempt to use an excessive fee as an offensive weapon against a citizen who was simply exercising his right to know.
Government wants to charge taxpayers to see bridge business case

RoboCop Reboot Is "Hell" Says Director Jose Padilha
As pre-production rolls on for sci-fi remake RoboCop so do the bad times, as after a scathing script review and losing Hugh Laurie as the film's villain, director Jose Padilha has come out and said working on the film has been "hell."
Coming via Padilha's friend and fellow Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Meirelles (City of God, Blindness), Meirelles says that after speaking to Padilha on the phone, the director has labelled the production the "worst experience" and that "for every 10 ideas he has, 9 are cut; whatever he wants he has to fight."
Thankfully (at the very least) even with Padilha stating "this is hell" he added to Meirelles that "the film will be good, but I never suffered so much and do not want to do it again."
What remains to be seen is if this poor experience in Hollywood will drive the successful director of the smash "Elite Squad" films away from further action projects Stateside.
As for the aforementioned script review, that came courtesy of Drew McWeeny from HitFix who via a series of tweets lambasted the film, saying (amongst other things):
"When this thing hits theaters, people are going to call up Len Wiseman's "Total Recall" on the phone and apologize for being so mean. "I'm sorry, 'Total Recall.' I had no idea how bad things could get. You're starting to look like a masterpiece right about now."
Concerning the villain situation, Clive Owen is currently being courted to step into Laurie's role so hopefully that situation will be resolved promptly as principle photography looks to get underway. He would join Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Jay Baruchel, among others.
At this stage it's truly looking like this is RoboCop's fight to win with nothing seeming to have gone right so far (not to mention fans of Paul Verhoeven's original have been crying out against the remake from the get-go).
RoboCop is scheduled for theaters August 9, 2013.

PRMA suggests remedial steps for gov't fiscal problems
During the opening day of its annual convention Thursday, the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association delivered a list of recommendations — including cutbacks, government restructuring and fiscal measures — to administration officials, in hopes of doing its part to help the island pull out of its economic crisis.
PRMA President Carlos Rivera-Vélez was among a group of panelists discussing the topic of "Puerto Rico's economy, what can the private sector do?" in which the following suggestions were offered:
- The immediate introduction of a unified public procurement system, which represents a savings of $200 million a year. The system has the potential to create a sustainable industrial structure that encourages the purchase of goods and services produced in Puerto Rico. The implementation of a unified purchase system, using the Public Private Partnership (P3s) mechanism would eliminate the need to use public funds to implement it.
- The transfer of services and construction of new facilities to P3s that would allow what is produced to be used to reduce the debt of the entity that originally provided the service and enable new financing for public works from private sources. P3s enable continuity of services and project development to be more effective and flexible, the PRMA said.
"Transferring some services that are deficient today, will have the effect of improving the services offered by the government. It will facilitate the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the island's infrastructure and create new jobs," Rivera-Vélez said.
New economic activity generated through P3s would shore up more revenue for the government, the trade group said. Services that can be transferred to the private sector, which represent a loss proposition for the government, are: health- and education-related; public transportation; road maintenance for PR-53, PR-66 and PR-52; construction and maintenance of public buildings; and revenue collection services, such as what is needed for the sales and use tax, among others.
- Merging government agencies that offer similar services to avoid multiplicity of costs should be pursued, but must be preceded by a projection of savings and the impact it would have on services.
"Undoubtedly, the most important thing is to review government structures and processes and conduct a comprehensive government reform," he said. "As for implementation measures in the medium and long term, the recommendations are aimed at controlling government spending to alleviate the fiscal crisis."
The PRMA recommended that any subsidy or incentive incorporated into the budget should be analyzed, as they are significant and there is no clear idea of their impact on productivity. Any legislative or regulatory initiative should be subject to an analysis of its impact on Puerto Rico's productivity and competitiveness, by an independent body.
Legislative measures that have negative effects on the economy or constitute a change in regulations on processes that adversely affect the cost of doing business, should not be approved.
"It is imperative that the Legislature work hand in hand with the private sector to analyze the effects of any initiative that might discourage economic development," the PRMA leader said.
The tax system should incorporate measures to stimulate investment. One measure is to treat investment in productive activities as an operating expense in the year it is carried out.
The trade group also suggested that eliminating tax evasion should be a shared responsibility between government and the private sector.
"Achieving immediate revenue whose long-term impact would have the inevitable effect of undermining the competitiveness of the island affects future investment, expansion and maintenance of operating companies in Puerto Rico and reduces our competitiveness against other countries," he said.
"High operating costs, as the cost of energy, coupled with a rise in costs through tax increases and eliminating incentives would be devastating to the permanence of foreign companies in Puerto Rico, which create jobs and move our economy," Rivera-Vélez said.

Long, complex sales cycles are often misunderstood by marketing staff. Marketers at companies with lengthy sales processes, such as software and technology companies, typically focus exclusively at the very top of the sales funnel, mistakenly believing that their only job is to "generate more leads."
These misguided marketers happily create expensive advertising campaigns and execute programs designed to drive more people into the cycle. Then they simply tie a pretty ribbon around the leads they generate and toss them over the cubicle wall to the sales department.
This strategy is ineffective.
Savvy marketing professionals understand that sales and marketing must work together to move prospects through the sales pipeline. This is especially important in the complex sale, with long decision making cycles and multiple buyers that need to be influenced. The good news is that Web content drives people through and shortens the sales cycle for any product or service—especially complex ones that have many steps and take months or even years to complete.
First, understand your sales process in detail
All sales processes are definable, repeatable and understandable, and effective marketers use the Web to move people into and through the process. You need to get together with salespeople, sales management and product managers to understand exactly what happens in the sales cycle.
You should answer questions such as these: How do people initially find your company or product? When does the sales person first contact a potential buyer? When do they talk about your company's products? When do they offer a price quote?
Understanding the process in detail allows you to create a definable, repeatable and understandable process that Web content can influence.
Segment your prospects right from the home page
A very effective technique is to segment prospects by using "self-select paths" right from the home page. Consider links based on the buyer persona, perhaps by job title or by industry. A prospect is much more likely to enter the sales cycle by clicking a link that is designed especially for her.
Create thought-leadership content at the top of the sales funnel
People in the early stages of the sales cycle need basic information on the product category, especially "thought leadership" pieces. Don't just write about your company and your products at these early stages. When doing initial research, people don't want to hear about you and your company. They want information about them and their problems.
Make Web content, at the early part of the sales process, free
The job of Web content in the early stages of the sales consideration process is just to get a prospect interested in your organization. The best way is to provide valuable content that addresses their problems. You want to build empathy.
At this early stage, avoid forcing people to register their name and contact details. The best thing at that point is for your prospect to think: "These guys are smart. They understand my problems. I want to learn more."
Provide compelling and detailed content to get people to 'raise their hand'
Once you've developed an online rapport through Web content, it is time to deliver something of value that you can trade for a registration form. Remember, if you are asking for someone's name and contact details, you must trade that personal information for something of equal or better value to your prospect.
At this stage, a compelling white paper, online event (such as a webinar), or online demo is appropriate to move your prospect further down the sales process—and she will happily "raise her hand" to express interest by filling out a form. At this point, you're still not ready to sell a product or service (yet).
When you pass a name to the sales department, provide as much detail about the prospect as you can
Congratulations. Now you've gotten the name of a prospect that a salesperson can contact. But you need to provide sales with as much detail as possible based on the content your prospect accessed. Together with the form she filled out, tell the salesperson details like "She clicked the 'I'm a financial executive' link from the homepage and then requested our white paper." When your salesperson contacts the prospect, he will already know details about her besides those just on the lead form.
Now that you're working the sales prospect, offer even more content
When a prospect is actually talking to sales, your marketing job is not done. Those further along in the process want to compare offerings and need detailed specifications and lists of features and benefits. You should create Web content to help your sales department move the prospect toward a close. Add her to your email newsletter list. Invite her to a webinar. Alert her to your corporate blog. Working with your salesperson, offer her online ROI calculators, feature comparison charts and other tools for the middle and latter portions of the sales cycle.
And don't forget to make certain that your salespeople know about the content you're providing so that they can coordinate by pointing prospects there, too.
Measure and improve
Measure what content is being used and how. Understand through Web metrics what's working, and constantly tweak the content to make it better. Meet regularly with salespeople to gain insights into the sales cycle and how your Web content is helping the process. The good news is that the Web is that it is iterative—you can constantly make adjustments on the fly.
* * *
In an increasingly competitive marketplace with a complex sales process, Web content will unlock success, even in highly competitive industries where smaller players are beset upon by larger, better-funded competitors.

Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes by making them the fruit of his character.
Men`s thoughts are much according to their inclination.
Character is much easier kept than recovered.
Character is destiny.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others.
The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
The discipline of desire is the background of character.
Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live, as well as to think.
He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea.
Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.
Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other`s character before marriage, which is never advisable.
Characters never change. Opinions alter, - characters are only developed.
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Weakness of character is the only defect, which cannot be amended.
A fanatic is one who can`t change his mind and won`t change the subject.
Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody`s power and is not easy.
No one is so brave that he is not disturbed by something unexpected.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.
Dreams are the touchstones of our character.
The character of a woman rapidly develops after marriage, and sometimes seems to change, when in fact it is only complete.
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Character and fate are two words for the same thing.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another`s.
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year`s fashion.
I will not say that women have no character; rather, they have a new one every day.
Talkers are no good doers.
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man`s character, give him power.
Nothing shows a man`s character more than what he laughs at.
One may smile, smile and be a villain.

Sky-high: Japan airline offers $540 meals on parked planes
Airline food might be one of the last things people are missing during the pandemic, but one Japanese carrier has customers flocking to sample luxury in-flight meals on its parked planes.
Foie gras, crabmeat mousse and wagyu beef fillet are all on the menu aboard aircraft belonging to Japan's All Nippon Airways -- for a cool $540.
The airline launched its "restaurant with wings" for just a single day on Wednesday, but with demand proving sky-high, they are now planning to expand the offering.
The restaurant offered either first class or business class meals usually served on international flights, with "passengers" boarding a Boeing 777 at Tokyo's Haneda airport holding tickets designed to look like boarding passes.
The experience came complete with crew announcements, according to the company, with meals served in cabin seats, though seatbelts were not required.
Demand appears strong, despite the prices -- 59,800 yen for first-class meals and 29,800 yen for a business class offering.
"The tickets for the restaurant sold out in a day," a spokeswoman told AFP on Thursday, and the company now plans an additional 11 dates.
The airline said it could extend the service further if virus restrictions are not tightened.
The "restaurant" already observes virus measures, using only 60 seats on the plane to ensure customers can maintain some distance between them.
The Japanese carrier is not the first Asian airline to offer meals aboard grounded planes to travel-starved customers.
Hundreds of travel-starved diners ate lunch and watched seat-back films on two parked Singapore Airlines jets in October last year, with tickets selling for up to Sg$642 ($470).
Like airlines around the world, ANA has been hit hard by virus-related travel restrictions.
In January it upheld its forecast for a record $4.9 billion net loss this financial year to March 2021, compared with 27.6 billion yen in net profit the previous year.
ANA Holdings' nine-month net loss came to 309.6 billion yen ($3 billion) -- also a record -- and a sharp drop from the 86.4 billion yen in profit it logged during the same April-December period last year.

Get the Perfect Cottage Garden Arbour for Your Outdoor Spaces
When it comes to outdoor spaces, a garden arbour is a must-have. They offer privacy and shelter for your plants while providing shade and views. So, before you look for "garden arbours for sale", let's read the article.
Choose the Right Arbour
There are many types of cottage garden arbours on the market, so it can be hard to decide which one is right for your needs. Here are a few things to consider when choosing an arbour:
1. Size: Some arbours are small and can be placed in a corner of your garden, while others are large and can be used as part of a patio or veranda.
2. Material: Garden arbours can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic. Choose the material that is best suited for your climate and preferred style.
3. Style: There are several styles of garden arbors available, including classic A-frame style or modern giraffe-like designs. Choose the style that best suits your needs and personality.
If you're looking for a stylish but affordable way to add extra seating to your garden or patio, an arbour may be the perfect option for you!
Decide Where It Will Go
The garden arbour is a versatile piece of garden furniture that can be placed in any spot in your yard. It offers plenty of shade, and can be used to shelter flowers or vegetables from the sun. Additionally, a garden arbour can add extra seating and décor to your yard. When deciding where to place your new garden arbour, consider the location of your other plants and trees, as well as the size and shape of your space. If you have a smaller yard, for example, placement near a tree may be more advantageous than toward the center of the yard. Additionally, consider whether you need an arbour that opens or closes—if it will be used mostly during warm months or only occasionally during colder months, for example.
Size Up the Space
When considering where to put a garden arbour, it's important to size up the space. A small arbour can fit in a tight spot, but a large one may be too much space for your garden. Consider the size of the arbour and how much sunlight it gets. Additionally, think about how you'll use the arbour – will you want to sit inside or outside? If you'll be sitting inside most of the time, go for something smaller; if you'll be spending more time outside, go for something larger.
Add Supports and Posts
Adding supports and posts to garden arbours can help to ensure that the structure is strong and holds up over time. By using the right materials and construction techniques, you can create a garden arbour that is both attractive and functional.
Install the Roofing Material
Once the roofing material is in place, it's time to install the flashing and roof vents. You'll need to drill holes in the roof tiles for both pieces of equipment and then secure them with screws. Make sure that the flashing is properly extended so that rain doesn't get inside the attic space. Finally, install the vent so that air can flow freely into and out of the attic.
Paint or Stain the Arbour
A garden arbour is a great addition to any garden. They offer shade, shelter and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as sitting in to watch the sun set or enjoying a coffee in the morning. Some people choose to paint their arbour, while others choose to stain it. The decision of whether or not to paint or stain an arbour is largely based on personal preferences.
Paint can be used if you want a more vibrant colour or if you are looking for an easy way to update your arbour. Staining is a more long-term option and will give your arbour a natural look that may be more appealing to you. Both painting and staining require some preparation work before installation, so be sure to plan ahead if you decide this route is for you.
A garden arbour can be a great addition to your outdoor space. Make sure you choose one that's right for your needs and prepare for the installation process by reading our tips.

Who We Are
Hillsong is a church that believes in Jesus, a church that loves God and people.
Hillsong is a contemporary Christian church. Overwhelmed by the gift of salvation we have found in Jesus, we have a heart for authentic worship, are passionate about the local church, and are on mission to see God's kingdom established across the earth.
Hillsong Church was founded by Brian and Bobbie Houston in 1983 in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Now Hillsong has churches in city centres in 28 countries around the world. The church has an average global attendance of 150,000 weekly.
Our Mission Statement
To reach and influence the world by building a large Christ-centered, Bible-based church, changing mindsets and empowering people to lead and impact in every sphere of life.
The Church I Now See
The church that I see is a global church. I see a global family: One house with many rooms, outworking a unified vision. I see a church apostolic in calling, and visionary in nature; committed to boldly impacting millions for Christ in significant cities and nations throughout the earth with the greatest of all causes – the Cause of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I see a church that champions the cause of local churches everywhere; encouraging them to be all that God has called them to be. A Church that refuses to be content with the triumphs of the past, but is constantly looking towards the future – filled with a vision that inspires and influences many.
Positioned in the heart of culture, in great diverse urban centres, I see buildings that struggle to contain the increase of all that God is doing; occupying land and places that are miraculous in provision and impossible to ignore.
I see a church that is big enough to dream on a global scale, yet personal enough for every ONE to find their place. I see a church that beckons 'WELCOME HOME' to every man, woman and child that walks through the doors.
The church that I see is a worshipping church whose songs reflect such a passion for Christ that others sense His magnificence and power. A distinct sound that emanates from a healthy church, contagious in spirit – creating music that resounds from villages and tribes to great cities and nations.
I see a church that is constantly innovative: A church that leads the communication of a timeless message through media, film, and technology. A church with a message beamed to people around the globe through their television screens, bringing JESUS into homes, palaces and prisons alike.
I see a church with a world-class college that raises, equips, and empowers generations of young, anointed leaders from across the globe. Graduates who serve God in all walks of life,
released to salt the earth with dynamic ministries and churches throughout the continents of the world.
I see a church graced with layers of 'once-in-a-generation' type leaders – who are naturally gifted, spiritually potent and genuinely humble. Leaders who will pay the price and count the cost of impacting cities and nations with great, God-glorifying churches.
I see a church whose leadership is unified in their commitment to the authenticity, credibility and quality of its heart. Leaders who dare to be themselves, yet live secure in the knowledge that "what they are part of is bigger than the part they play."
I see a church committed to an innovative NETWORK that connects hundreds of thousands of pastors and leaders and equips them to flourish. A network committed to the apostolic anointing of leaders who are desperate to see the Church of Jesus Christ rise up to live the un-lived life within her… His glorious Church.
I see like-spirited churches in cities of influence that exemplify faithfulness manifested in bricks and mortar. Churches with supernatural provision of buildings and properties standing as beacons of light that bring glory to God and hope to humanity.
I see a church that loves God, loves people and loves life. Youthful in spirit; generous at heart; faith-filled in confession; loving in nature and inclusive in expression.
Yes, the church that I see is committed to bringing the love and hope of Christ to impossible situations through the preaching of the gospel and a mandate that drives us to do all we can to bring help and solution to a needy world. Whose head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit and whose focus is the Great Commission.
– Brian Houston 2014
The Church I See
The Church that I see is a Church of influence. A Church so large in size that the city and nation cannot ignore it. A Church growing so quickly that buildings struggle to contain the increase.
I see a Church whose heartfelt praise and worship touches Heaven and changes earth; worship which influences the praises of people throughout the earth, exalting Christ with powerful songs of faith and hope.
I see a Church whose altars are constantly filled with repentant sinners responding to Christ's call to salvation.
Yes, the Church that I see is so dependent on the Holy Spirit that nothing will stop it nor stand against it; a Church whose people are unified, praying and full of God's Spirit.
The Church that I see has a message so clear that lives are changed forever and potential is fulfilled through the power of His Word; a message beamed to the peoples of the earth through their television screens.
I see a Church so compassionate that people are drawn from impossible situations into a loving and friendly circle of hope, where answers are found and acceptance is given.
I see a people so Kingdom-minded that they will count whatever the cost and pay whatever the price to see revival sweep this land.
The Church that I see is a Church so committed to raising, training and empowering a leadership generation to reap the end-time harvest that all its ministries are consumed with this goal.
I see a Church whose head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit and whose focus is the Great Commission.
– Brian Houston 1993
Our Statement of Beliefs
We believe that the Bible is God's Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the 'new birth' we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the 'breaking of bread'.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

OMG Friday the 13th!
Anyway, today was my 5th day in a row at Crossfit Total Control. Awesome! Pretty happy about that because I still feel good! This afternoon, after our workout, I definitely started feeling it though. For the first time this week I'm drained and kinda spent and sore. Not like usual soreness, but like, oh jesus.. I'm beat! kinda thing. I had an extra BCAA packet for good measure. (and it tastes fabulous..)
We worked on Front Squats today and I KNEW I had to PR it again.. I had just hit my PR of 200lbs a few weeks ago, so it was gonna be tough for me to do it again, but I did! 205 lbs YEAH!
Today our WOD was the following:
12 min climbing ladder
starting with:
2 squat cleans
2 push press
2 thrusters
20 DU (or 60 singles)
then.. you go up to 4 of each (but jump ropes stay the same) and then 6, and so on.
I finished 3 rounds + 10. I was aiming for 3 rounds, and I did it!
I also did T2B successfully for the first time too.. I've never been able to get my toes all the way up, and I diiiid it!!
Double Unders are still a work in progress. 😉
|My new goal shirt.. It fits, but it's a little too snug for my liking. :/
|After our workout today! Tom, me, and Ken

Here is something I read on Facebook.
by Levi Smith
I'd like to talk to you as a former pastor's kid who currently works full time on a pastoral staff. Put your helmet on.
My dad was my pastor for 18 years. Growing up with your father being your church's pastor gave me a unique vantage point. It wasn't a superior vantage point, but it definitely gave me a glimpse into ministry life that I now I am exceedingly grateful for. Read the rest of this entry

Things every church member should consider
by Levi Smith
I'd like to share some things that I think every church member should consider:
1. The Pastor(s) is not perfect.
His sins led Jesus to die exactly like yours did. Yes, he should exemplify a high biblical standard of living; just keep in mind that the Bible never asked anyone to be perfect. Please grant him the same grace you desire to hear from his messages. Read the rest of this entry

Twenty years ago, in Nashville, Tennessee, during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA's convention.
Promises delayed
The Israelites spent 400 years in Egypt. They were invited to settle in Egypt to escape the famine in their own land. At first they were honored guests but that status changed.
Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, "Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land."
Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens. They built for Pharaoh store cities, Pithom and Raamses. (Exodus 1:8-11)
The people prayed to God for freedom from their bondage and God chose Moses to answer their prayers.
Then the Lord said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." (Exodus 3:7-10)
The church and Daniel's 70 week prophecy
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. (1 Peter 1:10,11)
The Old Testament prophets tell us of the suffering Christ experienced when he was crucified; they tell us of the glory associeated with his rule over the earth during the Millennium. But what do they say about the time between these two events, the time in which we are living now? The answer is: not much. In fact they say nothing about the most important aspect of this era, the formation of the church. The apostle Paul was given the task of revealing this truth to us.
When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. (Ephesians 3:4-6)
The Old Testament teaches that Gentiles will be saved; it never tells of the formation of a new body composed of both Jews and Gentiles. Paul not only teaches us about this body but he also tells how it will be removed from the earth through the event known as the rapture. Read the rest of this entry
Will we be married in Heaven?
Most people get married at some time during their life. What happens when married people die? Are they still married? Some Sadducees once asked Jesus that question.
The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.' Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. So too the second and third, down to the seventh. After them all, the woman died. In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her."
But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." (Matthew 22:23-30)
It is clear that the marriages we enter into on earth will no longer exist in Heaven but the Bible speaks of a different kind of marriage that will exist there. Read the rest of this entry
Why Christians oppose same sex marriage
Whenever someone opposes same sex marriage he is accused of hating gays and his opinions are often called hate speech. Proponents of same sex marriage have attacked those who oppose it and have caused some to lose their jobs and have their businesses ruined. Some people do hate gays but Christians who oppose same sex marriage do so because we care about gays and want to protect them the harm that they will experience.
To see why this is so we need to look at what the Bible says about marriage. The first marriage was between the first man and the first woman. Read the rest of this entry
Leaving vengeance to the wrath of God
We are commanded not to avenge ourselves but to leave all vengeance to God's wrath.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." (Romans 12:19)
But just how do we leave vengeance to God? If what another person does to hurt us involves a violation of the law, there is a very easy way. Inform the police and press criminal charges against him. Here is what the Bible says about the role of government.
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. (Romans 13:1-4)
Did you notice the last sentence? For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. When we ask the government to take action against someone who has hurt us we are not avenging ourselves but turning the matter over to God's servant. Read the rest of this entry
Forget your people and your father's house
Psalm 45
My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;
I address my verses to the king;
my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men;
grace is poured upon your lips;
therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,
in your splendor and majesty!
4 In your majesty ride out victoriously
for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharp
in the heart of the king's enemies;
the peoples fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.
From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;
9 daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;
at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:
forget your people and your father's house,
11 and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him.
12 The people of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,
the richest of the people.
An excellent wife
The book of Proverbs ends with a tribute to an excellent wife.
[10] An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
[11] The heart of her husband trusts in her,
and he will have no lack of gain.
[12] She does him good, and not harm,
all the days of her life. Read the rest of this entry
Marriage equality
Marriage began when God created Eve to be a wife for Adam.
Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman,because she was taken out of Man."
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 2:23-24
The first marriage was a union between the first man and the first woman that God created. Ever since then, marriage has been considered a union between a man and a woman. This isn't just a Christian belief but a practice by all religions and all cultures throughout history. There have been different beliefs about some aspects of marriage. Some cultures consider marriage a permanent union while other allow a person to divorce his spouse and marry someone else. Some consider it a union between one man and one woman while others allow a man to have more than one wife. But until recently it has universally been a state that can exist only between a man and a woman.
Now there is a movement to establish "marriage equality" between gay and straight people by legalizing marriage between two people of the same sex. Is the restriction of marriage to a man and a woman just an arbitrary rule or is there some fundamental reason why two members of the same sex can't marry each other?
Don't be afraid
When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 20:1
When the Israelites invaded Canaan they faced enemies who were stronger than they were. They won only because God helped them.
Israel was a nation and like any other nation it sometimes waged wars with other nations. The church isn't a nation but is a body of people from all nations who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. Because we aren't a nation we don't have an army and we don't engage in physical wars but we are involved in warfare of a different kind.
How to become a saint
Recently two former popes have been canonized as saints by the Catholic church. According to the book Saints for Dummies these are the requirements a person must meet before before being considered a saint by the church.
To become canonized as a saint, a perfect track record isn't required (or possible). Hence, being sinless isn't on the list. So, what is required for sainthood?
Two verifiable postmortem miracles.
Evidence of having led an exemplary life of goodness and virtue worthy of imitation, having died a heroic death (martyrdom), or having undergone a major conversion of heart where a previous immoral life is abandoned and replaced by one of outstanding holiness.
Our relationships with God
I used the plural, relationships, in the title because God is a trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and Christians are related to each of these in a different way. Ephesians 5:22 to 6:9 gives instructions regarding three kinds of human relationship which also serve as illustrations of our relationships with God. Read the rest of this entry
Understanding the Old Testament
When Christians discuss the Bible we are often accused of choosing Bible verses that support our position and ignoring those that oppose it. Usually this takes the form of quoting some law found in the Old Testament and asking why we don't practice it. Since we consider all of the Bible, including the Old Testament, to be the Word of God this is a reasonable objection that should be answered. Read the rest of this entry
The resurrections and the rapture
In the Old Testament it is clearly taught that there will be a resurrection of both the good and the bad.
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:2

Can the U.S. Provide Europe with Energy Security in the Face of Russian Aggression?
It appears conditions are right for the U.S. to export oil and gas in significant amounts to Europe. This would be not only economically favorable to the U.S. but politically very favorable to Europe, since it could largely replace in the medium term an unreliable source of energy supply from Russia by a much more reliable and friendly source, the United States.

For perhaps the first time since the 2010 election inaugurated divided control of Capitol Hill, there was actual excitement about energy legislation as the House took up a bill to expedite the export of liquefied natural gas (LNG). It's not that the House hasn't passed dozens of bills to encourage domestic oil and gas production, or discipline extralegal rulemakings by the EPA – it surely has. Rather, it's been the automatic DOA status of these measures in the Senate that's made the movie seem old and predictable. Well, that may be changing.

Veteran dies in VA hospital waiting for ambulance to take him 500 yards to ER
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- A veteran died at a Veterans Affairs Hospital after waiting 30 minutes at the facility for an ambulance to take him 500 yards to the emergency room. Now the hospital is reviewing its policy.
VA officials told KOAT the patient collapsed in the cafeteria on Monday and needed to be taken around the building to the ER.
Witnesses said he looked like he was having a heart attack, so cafeteria staff followed procedure and called 9-1-1. VA policy states that if any medical emergency happens outside the main hospital staff should call 9-1-1.
The Alburquerque Fire Department told KOAT that an ambulance dispatched a crew to the hospital at 12:30 p.m. Paramedics loaded the veteran and drove him across the complex to another building.
By the time he got to the ER, he died.
KOAT asked VA officials why the man was not wheeled over to the ER on a gurney and a hospital spokesperson said only, "We are currently reviewing our policy on it."

Popular Traditional fabric patterns are floral designs, striped, paisley, checks, small designs and plaids. Colors are often earthy—neutral shades of brown, green, rust, gold, and sometimes blue. Traditional chairs and sofas sometimes have nail head trim, tassels, or fringe. Cushions are usually seen with piping or welting for classic detail.

TSE's intern Bronagh Rafferty talks boilersuits. Where to shop, how to style and most importantly, our top five must-have spanners.
The boilersuit trend is here to stay in 2019. First spotted in Copenhagen Fashion Week in August, the boilersuit is an androgynistic dream. Personally, as a serial dungaree and jumpsuit wearer, boilersuits aren't a far cry from my day to day outfit. They're now a throw-on-and-go integral piece to my wardrobe. They take me from 9am lectures in Salford to 9pm drinks in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Granted, I'm lucky in the sense that Manchester nightlife is notoriously casual but an effortlessly cool one piece is the key to nailing 2019 street style.
There's something boyish and playful about a boilersuit. Not to mention the multitude of roles you can adopt..
Need an extra cast member for Orange is the New Black? Call me.
The streets of your town need a quick sweep? I'm your gal.
Want a mechanic to service your car? Fetch me a hair bobble.
Here are two ways I would style this boilersuit from & Other Stories.
Day to Day
Styling details: Boilersuit/&otherstories – Sunglasses/Rayban – Earrings/ASOS – Tote Bag/Etsy ( personalisable) – Sandals/Dr.Martens
Dinner & Drinks
Styling details: Boilersuit/&otherstories – Sunglasses/Ray-Ban – Boots/Public Desire via ASOS – Earrings / ASOS – Roll Neck/Missguided – Bag/Azurina

@setthemfree @luka yeah that is interesting.. "open source but not free" they say. There are a number of other ones after Kirby though. Enoki which also supports DAT for one: https://github.com/enokidotsite/enoki
enoki appears quite interesting. Have you in used it or anything else with "Dat"? Beaker Browser also seems curious...
@flavigula @scott @setthemfree yes quite interesting but i was looking into very minimalistic lofi smolnet mobile tooling without js and dependencies
I'm unsure what you mean by "lofi smolnet mobile tooling". I'd love to be enlightened, though!
Reading through the enoki and choo docs, I may play with them just for learning.
I was overwhelmed with templates and macros in #hugo and #zola. even #grav which is php+flatfile is too much for my taste.
i'm alway weary of anything dependent on NPM or even just javascript.
I'm attracted to simplicity and minimalism. extremely small sizes. as few dependencies as possible. but still mobile/translatable. html+css can get far, but just a bit short in regards of "includes" (header, footer, menu).
so rn:
home-growing own (php+css+html+fs)
I also admit I'm oldschool. Pre-web-2.0. I could never get into web-apps mindset.
Although I appreciate well writen webapps where they are needed. Like online banking, government online admin (like submitting taxes, national health systems, etc)
So for me, it's still php and css. Maybe a cookie for auth. But no node.js stuff. Already php can break shit. So at the end of the day, file-folder structure is the most time-resilient, it seems. And prob. html+css.
For my website / blog, I was using Vue for quite some time but finally I became disillusioned with so-called 'single page apps'. I rewrote the whole thing to use Elixir templates (something like old-school cgi or even php) to create a static site. No js is in evidence anymore except for one page for filtering through a long list when one types into a text box.
I quite like it.
I know where you are coming from re: old school.
@luka @flavigula @scott I once did a very simple website using https://staticjinja.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Basically html but with includes (using jinja templates).
@luka this was my simple solution https://pastebin.com/VArygj05 it's very limited. it's a static site generator, rather than dynamic scripts. it does what I want excepting rss feeds. I have a separate as yet not working script for rss, of similar shape. it has a dependency. the markdown executable. the idea was to make something simple enough that flexibility would be available via direct modification rather than feature set. @flavigula @scott @setthemfree
