Those Who Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator Will Have a Wonderful and Successful Life
There is a kind of life, which is free of care and worry for food and clothing, rich in care and love, healthy in body, and successful in all things.
There is a kind of life, which is beset with troubles and worries, plagued with miseries and pains, devoid of care and love, and fraught with twists and turns.
There is yet another kind of life, which alternates between brightness and darkness, rise and fall, happiness and worries, and adversity and favorable circumstances.
Why? Is life a matter of predestination? What has caused the differences, the times, the society, friends and relatives, the nature, or any other factor?
My understanding is that whether one has a good life or not is determined by the course of life he takes. To get the resources for life, some people depend on their own hard work, some people on other people's hard work like parasites, some people resort to blackmail and exploitation, some people engage in corruption and theft, and some people sail under false colors. The different way one makes use of to get resources leads to a different course of life, a different real of experience, a different outcome, and of course a different life.
Of the infinitely diverging roads of life, which is the best?
My belief is that the best road of life is the way of the Greatest Creator. To have a successful and wonderful life, one has to follow the way of the Greatest Creator. In another word, following the way of the Greatest Creator is the most reliable guarantee for a smooth and wonderful life. No other road can bring so much happiness and blessing to man as the way of the Greatest Creator.
Is this really the case? We can observe, experience, practice and validate by ourselves.
My conclusion is : If a person has enjoyed a successful and wonderful life, then most certainly he has been following the way of the Greatest Creator all his life; if a person's life is mixed with happiness and grief and characterized by dramatic fluctuations, then he has been following the way of the Greatest Creator but has sometimes strayed away from it; if a person's life is fraught with troubles, and twists and turns, then it can be said most surely that he has never followed but has deviated the way of the Greatest Creator.
Is there any theory to substantiate the above conclusion of mine?
I am trying to prove the conclusion with the several connotations of the Way of the Greatest Creator, just see for yourself whether there is sense behind my reasoning.
One important connotation of the Way of the Greatest Creator is the compliance with nature without any forced actions.
He will have a successful and wonderful life if in his life a person takes things as they are, associates with others by following the predestined relations, act in accordance with his nature, and takes advantage of the opportunities as they arise, never forcing anything upon anybody, and never imposing on himself or others. Accept whatever comes your way, and let go of those that have set their minds on leaving. You do not overdo your pursuit, and yet do not give up your endeavour. Have peaches when peaches come your way and have apricots if apricots come your way. Do not reach for what is beyond your grasp, do not have a sense of inferiority, do not indulge in extravagance and dissipation. Do not lead a lazy life. In this way, you can have a wonderful and smooth life free of great fluctuations and frustrations.
The second content of the Way of the Greatest Creator is: nonaction, no contention, and no ego.
One should not be arrogant even if he can afford the five-star hotel and should not feel inferior if he has only a thatched hut to live in. One should feel grateful for the delicacies he has but should also be content with simple meals. One should never contend with anybody for anything, and does not reject what is duly his. One should let go of anything that is not duly his. One should not deliberately plan and scheme to obtain anything. One should be satisfied and content with what others are not content and satisfied with. One should never be insatiably greedy. Just take a small ladle of water from a huge river, do not act like a hog, do not angle for fame and wealth and rank. Be contented to a poor life and devote to spiritual fulfillment. Always consider others' interests before one's own. In this way one will not suffer setbacks and adversities.
The third content of the Way of the Greatest Creator is love.
A person will not incur grudge and resentment and will certainly enjoy a smooth and wonderful life if he contributes instead of demanding things from others, if he sets his mind on other people's joy, happiness, freedom and blessing instead of creating trouble and shackles for others, suppressing and controlling others, seizing what others are interested in, restricting other's freedom, bullying and cheating others, comparing and haggling with others, and maltreating and killing life, and if he treasures all living beings, respects all living beings, does not stand in other people's way, and is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others.
The fourth content of the Way of the Greatest Creator is faith.
Jesus Christ is the son and messenger of the Greatest Creator, who conveys to us the information and will from the Greatest Creator. Jesus teaches us that we need only pursue the access to the kingdom of the Greatest Creator and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, and that we need not worry about tomorrow and the future and need not worry about all aspects of our life because the Greatest Creator will provide us everything that we need and has made all arrangement for us. As long as we embrace this faith, we will have a smooth, safe, and successful life.
The Way of the Greatest Creator has eight major connotations, of which the above four contents are enough to secure us a successful and wonderful life. We should stick to faith, love, no ego, no contention, nonaction, compliance to nature, and no employment of force. Our life will teem with troubles, miseries, worries, fears, and frustrations and twists and turns if we lack faith and love, if we engage in action and contention, if we are selfish and do not follow the law of nature but force our will on nature.
How do you think, dear readers? Is there any sense in what I have said?
If it makes sense, then adjust your thinking and consciousness immediately and unswervingly follow the Way of the Greatest Creator!

While you have a few minutes to spare, go over some of the features of your industrial use stainless steel. Industrial use, on the other hand, would need to be broken down and categorized quite considerably. Now while you could spend time with this exercise in your own time, you need not go that far. All you need do is consider your own industry. If you are, for example, in the market of designing and/or manufacturing specific medical use instruments, you would be looking in the direction of medical grade stainless steel.
Further than that, and by way of example, take a quick look at this stock. This stainless steel bar stock is supplied to the standard industry length of twelve feet. Tubing alternatives can be provided as well. Customized stainless steel, in this case, is now a registered trademark. It has high tensile strength and contains an age-hardening stainless alloy. The intention is to provide commercial and industrial clients with an improved upon notch tensile strength, fracture toughness, and what has been termed as 'fabricability'.
There is good resistance to stressed corrosion in this material. Other attributes to look forward to in this stainless steel material run as follows. General corrosion resistance is standard. Stress corrosion resistance has also been provided.
It has excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking in the H 1000 condition. Both standard and notched tensile strength of this material remains a lot stronger than other alternatives. Apart from this stainless steel variation being suitable for the manufacture of medical instruments, it is also perfectly poised for small turbine engine shafts, and the manufacture of sports equipment, as well as handheld firearms.
Another stainless steel material contains good fabricating characteristics, but requires a single step and low temperature treatment in order to be age-hardened.

What would an event like the Guitar Summit be without live music? And that's exactly why there is a party on Friday and Saturday evening with live music at the end of the day. While Friday is all about the acoustic guitar, Saturday is loud and electric. Here come our rock highlights of this year, which you can experience in concerts, workshops and masterclasses.
Paul Gilbert
Paul Gilbert has been among the top ten of the world's most famous guitarists for decades. And for good reasons, as he has already recorded a considerable back catalogue in his life – from Speed Metal with Racer X to screwdriver attacks and cuddly ballads with Mr. Big to his various solo releases, which have been highly praised by critics. We are very excited to welcome Paul to the Guitar Summit 2019!
Billy Sheehan
This rock bass player has earned his place in music history several times: Billy Sheehan has played with Talas, David Lee Roth, Mr. Big, G3, Winery Dogs and Sons Of Apollo and supported guitar colleagues like Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, Richie Kotzen and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal – much more can hardly be achieved as a musician!
Look forward to Billy Sheehan at the Guitar Summit 2019! Billy will give a public workshop, be on stage at the Electric Party on Saturday evening and also offer an exclusive masterclass.
Carl Carlton
Guitarist, songwriter, producer, musical director … hardly any musical situation that Carl Carlton has not already held with success. And the list of those he has worked with ranges from Udo Lindenberg, Peter Maffay, Herman Brood, Vitesse, Manfred Mann's Earthband to Robert Palmer, Keb' Mo', Eric Burdon and Mother's Finest. With his own band The Songdogs, whose core, besides Carl Carlton, includes guitarist Moses Mo and bassist Wyzard from the funk rock pioneers Mother's Finest, Carl goes on tour again in October. We are happy that he takes a short break from the rehearsals for this tour to give a workshop and a masterclass at the Guitar Summit!
Thomas Blug
One of the absolute highlights is our Allstar Jam on Saturday evening. Thomas Blug will be playing with top-class special guests (Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan, Henrik Freischlader, Stu Hamm, Fredrik Åkesson, Pete Thorn and more). If you miss it, it's your own fault!

Andre Johnson was again a thorn in the medial side of mlb cornerbacks all climates and seasons in 09. Johnson had 101 catches for 1569 yards receiving and nine touchdowns. Attempt cheap replica jerseys and to summarize Johnson's season with statistics does not do him justice. Johnson was cheap Corey Seager jersey a match changer and Matt Schaub's cheap jerseys from China primary receiver all 12 month. To say Johnson evoked fear in each corner cheap Francisco game jersey he faced was an understatement. Johnson did his business quietly custom baseball jerseys for women but every cornerback in cheap low price mlb jerseys the league knew that he was finest wide receiver they would face all year long.

We see the person
behind the lawsuit.
With almost 20 years of experience, we seek to bring more humanity, compassion and ethical goodwill into the civil justice community by providing the necessary funding for plaintiffs on a not-for-profit basis. We have launched a movement through which lawyers can further serve their clients.
The harsh reality is most plaintiffs are underfunded. Life keeps happening even in the face of a personal trauma or illness. Bills, expenses, medical costs, student loans and everything in between are mounting. We bring together resources, expertise and vision to find the right funding and front-end counseling to help people throughout the legal process – our commitment goes far beyond providing non-recourse advances.
Our Interest Rate
We base our interest rate on the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate, plus 6.5%, adjusted on a monthly basis. The interest rate for the month is predicated on what prime is at on the first day of the month. As of June 1, 2019, the interest is 12% simple interest.
After years of witnessing the toll that litigation takes on families and individuals,
we are inspired to help as many people as possible. This idea is born out of logic
and driven by compassion. The result is turning the norm on its head and getting results
for those who really need them.
Click here if you are interested in applying with Bairs Foundation.
We will continue to serve plaintiffs and their families by providing financial relief, so they can avoid the usury interest rates of for-profit companies and survive the course of their litigation. Funding is done in the context of the individual circumstances through personal engagement from our team of lawyers. Each client receives counseling to ensure they are equipped with the right knowledge to be financially savvy into the future.
It is our hope that this legacy inspires a bigger space for the nonprofit, non-recourse model, so families can benefit and thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive, innovative treatment for depression systems. During the procedure, the area of the brain that controls depression systems is stimulated using a targeted pulsed magnetic field.
Individuals who suffer from depression, OCD and anxiety symptoms are prime candidates for TMS. Especially in instances where antidepressant medications do not work, TMS can offer a non-invasive treatment option without side effects.
TMS is an outpatient procedure that takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. You can comfortably sit in our in-office exam rooms during the procedure.
While every patient is different, on average, TMS treatments are administered five days a week over a time period of four to six weeks.
TMS therapy is safe and FDA approved. You will not experience side effects that are commonly associated with depression medications. In fact, you can drive yourself to and from TMS sessions.
No, TMS is a non-invasive procedure. During sessions, you will wear a helmet that is used to stimulate the brain, but you will not experience any side effects or pain. In addition, because TMS does not require sedation, you will not experience common symptoms such as nausea or dry mouth.
Most major insurance companies and Medicare cover some costs of TMS. However, it's best to check with your insurance company to determine if you are responsible for co-pays, deductibles or a portion of the procedure.

Category: WorkReady | Mar 24, 2016
PHILADELPHIA (March 24, 2016) – The Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) today announced that JPMorgan Chase & Co. has awarded them a $150,000 grant to support 2016 WorkReady summer employment programs, making them the largest new investor in WorkReady Philadelphia.
WorkReady Philadelphia is a citywide, cross-sector campaign focused on creating systemic approaches to address the skills gap for vulnerable youth. One of the hallmarks of WorkReady Philadelphia is the summer employment program, which combines paid summer employment opportunities with formal and informal educational programs, training, and support in order to increase young people's future employment prospects and academic success.
"Summer youth employment provides young adults with more than just a paycheck, it provides an economic on-ramp to successful careers and brighter futures," said Peter Scher, Head of Corporate Responsibility, JPMorgan Chase. "We are proud to support PYN and the economic opportunities they are helping create for Philadelphia's next generation."
PYN is rising to Mayor James Kenney's challenge, which he announced earlier this month, to unite business and philanthropic organizations around efforts to increase youth employment throughout Philadelphia.
"In order to strengthen Philadelphia both socially and fiscally, we must have a workforce that is trained and prepared to work in the 21st century," said Mayor Kenney. "We have to work with our businesses to identify the skills, certifications, and training needed to enter the workforce, and prepare our young people to meet those needs."
The WorkReady program serves Philadelphia youth ages 12-24 and runs for six weeks, providing 120 hours of workforce preparation through one of four program models: career exposure, service-learning, work experience, and internships. Each model challenges youth to understand the correlations between variables such as work experience, skill attainment and high school completion and how these variables impact their potential for college and career success. JPMorgan Chase's grant will provide summer jobs for approximately 90 young people in Philadelphia.
"Summer employment programs offer an opportunity for young people to develop valuable skills; gain familiarity with expected workplace behaviors and basic customer service skills and create networks with caring adults who can provide guidance on workplace expectations," said Chekemma Fulmore-Townsend, President and CEO the Philadelphia Youth Network. "We are honored to receive this grant and continue working towards a brighter future for Philadelphia's youth."
Additionally this summer, PYN will work to educate youth participants about democracy and government through a partnership with the Democratic National Convention. With support from JPMorgan Chase, young people in the summer youth employment program, will benefit from opportunities to engage in service projects and to hear from elected and community leaders about the importance of contributing in their community through voting and civic participation.
"The Host Committee is committed to having a lasting impact on Philadelphia and its residents, and the partnership between JPMorgan Chase, Philadelphia Youth Network and Mayor Kenney's administration is the perfect example of how the public and private sectors can come together and support our communities," said former Pennsylvania Governor and Host Committee Chair Ed Rendell. "Summer youth employment programs like WorkReady are critical for Philadelphia's youth, and we are thrilled to be able to play a role in bringing such unique, valuable experiences to them this summer."

The twin-core fiber was first demonstrated as a temperature sensor in 1983 by Meltz 1 The temperature sensitivity of a twin-core fiber sensor with a single cladding and the circular cores is due almost entirely to the linear expansion of the core and the thermo-optic effect. Peng 2 fabricated a twin-core optical fiber with a large elliptical core with significant polarization-dependent coupling properties. On the other hand, Tjugiarto 3 observed that the coupling between the two cores increases with the spin rate in a spun twin-core fiber. In 2000, Gander 4 proposed a two-axis bend measurement using multicore optical fiber. MacPherson 5 demonstrated a curvature sensor using a twin-core photonic crystal fiber, and Flockhart 6 reported two-axis bend measurement using Bragg gratings written in multicore optical fiber.
In this work, the authors propose a new sensing head based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometric configuration using a suspended twin-core fiber. This sensing head presents different sensitivities when subjected to strain, curvature, and temperature. The possibility of simultaneous measurement using the matrix method to discriminate the three parameters is also demonstrated.
Experimental Setup and Results
Figure 1 presents the experimental setup with the sensing head based on a suspended twin-core fiber. Light from a broadband source in the 1550-nm window was linearly polarized with a polarizer and injected into the suspended twin-core fiber with a length of 33 cm. A polarization controller was used to optimize the polarization states (x- and y-axes), and all the measurements were performed with an optical spectrum analyzer. The fiber cross section is shown also in Fig. 1. The suspended twin-core fiber with four holes made of pure silica was fabricated at the Institute of Photonic Technology (Jena, Germany). The distance between the two cores is ∼6.4 μm, being possible to simultaneously illuminate the two cores using a standard single-mode fiber (SMF-28®). The core's diameter is 1.5 μm, the cladding is 124 μm, and the big and small holes are 10 and 5 μm, respectively.
Because of the fiber geometry, the triangular-shaped cores in the suspended twin-core fiber presents birefringence and two discrete Mach–Zehnder interferometers can be excited. The first interferometer is obtained when the polarized light excites only the x-polarization state in the two cores. The second interferometer appears when the input linear polarized light is along the y-axis. In these situations, we have a single Mach–Zehnder interferometer, where each arm is an eigenaxis of each core, originating a typical two-wave channeled spectrum, which can be observed in Figs. 2 and 2. When the input polarized light is along a direction that excites the two eigenaxes of the two cores, a beat of the two single interferometers appears, as is evident in Fig. 2.
From the channeled spectrum periodicity [Figs. 2 and 2], it turns out that the effective refractive index difference for the light propagating in the two cores is 7.6 × 10−4 (x polarization) and 8.1 × 10−4 (y polarization) in the 1550-nm wavelength region.
Because of the small diameter of the cores, there is a substantial evanescent field of the propagating light. Consequently, the waveguide dispersion is not negligible, which is evident from the data shown in Fig. 2, particularly in the case of excitation of the two x- and y-polarization Mach–Zehnder interferometers, as is clear in Fig. 2. Around the wavelengths λ1 ∼ 1546 nm, λ2 ∼ 1554 nm, and λ3 ∼ 1560 nm, the periodicity of the channeled spectrum is ∼1.96, ∼1.70, and ∼2.60 nm, respectively. Also, it was observed that the dependence with curvature, strain, and temperature of the peaks associated with these three wavelengths were all different, providing an opportunity to perform simultaneous measurement of these three parameters.
To test this possibility, first the behavior of this structure as a curvature sensor was characterized.7 Hence, the fiber was fixed at two points at a distance of 540 mm from each other and submitted to specific curvature values by using a translation stage (via successive 100–μm displacements). The spectral position of the maximums associated with λ1, λ2, and λ3 have different and linear responses to curvature variations, as shown in Fig. 3, with sensitivity coefficients of (–1.38±0.07) nm/m−1, (–1.42±0.07) nm/m−1, and (–1.35 ±0.05) nm/m−1, respectively.
The response to temperature variations of the sensing head was also characterized.8 The structure was placed in a tube furnace and submitted to increasing values of temperature in the range 0–100°C, with 10°C steps. The results shown in Fig. 4 indicate that the wavelength peaks λ1, λ2, and λ3 have linear responses to temperature variations, characterized by the sensitivities: (28.2±0.8), (34.9±0.8), and (33.5±0.8) pm/°C for λ1, λ2, and λ3, respectively.
The sensing structure was also characterized in terms of strain. The input and output fibers were accordingly fixed at two points 540 mm apart and submitted to specific strain values by using a translation stage (via successive 10-μm displacements). The results are made available in Fig. 5. Once again, the wavelength peaks have linear responses to strain variations, with sensitivities: (5.4±0.01), (5.0±0.01), and (5.6±0.01) pm/μɛ, for λ1, λ2, and λ3, respectively.
The sensitivity coefficients obtained for curvature, temperature, and strain applied to the proposed sensing structure indicates the feasibility to perform simultaneous measurement of these measurands. From the experimental sensitivity coefficients, comes the following:

Eq. 2[TeX:] \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\begin{document}\begin{equation} \left[\! \begin{array}{l} \Delta T \\ \Delta \varepsilon \\ \Delta C \\ \end{array}\! \right] \!=\! \left[\! {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {0,3104} & {0,0549} & { - 0,3484} \\ {1,6540} & {2,5594} & { - 4,0587} \\ { - 13,9449} & { - 11,4694} & {23,6874} \\ \end{array}} \!\right]\!\!\left[\! \begin{array}{l} \Delta \lambda _1 \\ \Delta \lambda _2 \\ \Delta \lambda _3 \\ \end{array}\! \right]. \end{equation}\end{document}
A new sensing head based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometric configuration based on a suspended twin-core fiber was proposed. Because of the birefringence of the cores, in the presence of input light with a polarization state that excites the two eigenaxes of the two cores, a double interferometer is present, originating beat phenomena. Because of the waveguide dispersion of the light that propagates in the cores, the variation with curvature, temperature, and strain of a particular fringe of the beat channeled spectrum depends on the wavelength. This feature opens the possibility of simultaneous measurement of these three parameters.
This work was supported by the COST 299—Optical Fibres for New Challenges Facing the Information Society.

Course description
This week Sonic Academy welcomes back Bluffmunkey for a look at How To Use Echomelt, Psychic Modulation's new multi-FX unit designed for adding character, texture and warmth to your sounds.
This intelligent plugin, that won't break the bank, can create warbling "VHS" tape snagging effects, swirling choruses, dubbed-out space delays, lo-fi saturated distortion and everything in-between.
Over these two videos we firstly go through the user interface checking out each of the controls before we look at EchoMelt in use, adding the plugin to a bass, pad and lead section of a track to see how it can transform and improve the sounds.
EchoMelt can easily create a dope "lo-fi" effect, but also be used in a variety of situations, with a 5-band fully parametric EQ that can be routed before or after all other effects, or even used on it's own, along with each effect section having the ability to be used independently with their own dry/wet mix in addition to the main Master Mix, and the option to save their own presets for quickly loading up specific settings at any time.
Definitely one to consider adding to your collection.

CHAPTER 10 "He came to His possession, and His own did not receive Him"; "Pilate answered: I wrote what I wrote!" (John 1:11, John 19:22, written on January 8, 1844).
[1] You can, as in the past, choose a text again; do so freely!
[2] "He came to His possession, and His own did not receive Him." Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!"
[3] The texts are chosen well and correctly, and in their first position - as you say - to a hair.
[4] Who came to His possession and His own did not receive Him? - Who the 'he' is, will hopefully be known; His possessions are the people, as they should be in the order created by Me, in love with their brethren and earnestly in love with God, their Creator.
[5] "But His own did not receive Him." - His are those whom He had most of the time educated Himself, and sent to them at all times teachers and prophets, and led them and guided them wonderfully.
[6] Why did they receive Him not? - Because He taught them the true ways of active love for eternal life; His people were friends of laziness, friends of well-being, and friends of dominion and glory, and these are not reconciled with the doctrine of humility and active love.
[7] They said, "We have Moses and the prophets that we read; what do we need more? What do we need of you who disobey the Sabbath and pay little attention to Moses and the prophets by not keeping their statutes?! Is it not enough that we read and study Scripture and write long explanations? What other activity do You want from us that would be more worthy before God?
[8] "Is not God a spirit whose nature one should not imagine under any picture?! How could one honor and praise Him more dignified than by continually reading His Word, which He has spoken through Moses and the prophets, from beginning to end, and explain it to ourselves and others, so that God's will may always be clearer and clearer understood?
[1] OF course now you think – as a few in My presence are thinking – that I have the power to make for all times an end to this kind of worldly mischief. You are of course right in this, but then firstly, the free will of man – who is, without distinction of birth or class, called to become a child of God – should be entirely taken away, and instead of his free reason and mind the human soul should be endowed with an instinct, just like the soul of animals, after which every human being would only be capable of doing what his instinct would drive him to do. And secondly I will have to make the whole Earth entirely different and let only the feed grow for such instinctive human beings, just like for the other animals. Moreover, I thirdly will have to let die out a lot of plants and animal species, for they only exist by necessity so that out of these the completely free human soul would develop in an almost endless series of stages.
[2] So you can understand – since you are a strict follower of Moses – that it cannot be different on this Earth. And if things were better than now, then surely it would not be necessary for Me to come Myself as a human being on this Earth to make the old faith alive again – at least for those who still kept the better attitude of the prophets of former times – and through them to convince also the other people that the scriptures and predictions of the prophets were not invented like the scriptures and predictions of the teachers of false gods.
[3] However, the whole human race on this Earth will still need more than 2.000 years to turn to a purer light.
[4] You know that after the flood of Noah the few people, who were left over, walked for a rather long time on a better way of light. But they were again soon attracted by the world and its matter wherein the actual Satan is. And already during the time of Abraham the godlessness of the people was considerably advanced. Count all those judgments with which I very painfully and sharply visited such nations.
[5] How long were such judgments effective? Generally 3 to 4 generations at the most. And after that it was like before, and even much worse. A Sodom and Gomorrah, a Babylon and a Nineveh could now almost be considered as a paradise compared to Jerusalem, compared to many other cities of the former Promised Land and also compared to many cities of the pagans.
[6] Also over all these cities will soon come one judgment after another, but their effect will be the same as with the former judgments. Many people will better their lives for a certain time, will repent and do penance, but when they will feel, earthly speaking, to be in an excellent situation, then soon laziness will come up again with them, and the smart ones will let themselves be served by the less smart ones for all kinds of false rewards.
[7] And once people will have reached that point, the darkening of their mind will start again among them. The sun of life will go down, and the full night will come up in triumph at the opposite side, and then once more it will take a long time before it will dawn again.
[8] And now you can, My dear innkeeper and friend, be satisfied for yourself and your whole house with what I have told you now about men's present condition.
[9] At some good opportunity you also can tell it to your trustworthy friends, and exhort them to be patient and to persevere in My name. And you also can assure them of My love and mercy, and that soon things will become lighter and better among many Jews as well as among the gentiles." (GGJ Book 24, chap. 33)

Can you sweat Carolina blue?
Before you learn which bone the leg bone is connected to in Anatomy or what the true meaning of life is in Philosophy class, you'll have to learn some very important information as a Carolina student – the words to the alma mater – Hark the Sound – and the motions to the Carolina cheers. You'll need these tools as you stand beside your classmates cheering on student-athletes as they compete in UNC's 28 varsity athletic programs. The first time you link arms with friends and fellow Tar Heels at a sporting event to sing and celebrate another Carolina Victory will be a memory to cherish forever.
Even if you're not a varsity student-athlete, there are still plenty of ways to represent UNC on the field/court/track. You could join one of our close to 50 sport clubs, or grab some friends to form an intramural team. Inner tube water polo, anyone? No matter your level of experience, there is a place at Carolina for you to keep up with the sports you love and try something new with friends. If organized sports aren't your thing, you can head over to one of the fitness facilities on campus to use state-of-the-art equipment or learn some new moves in a group fitness class. If all else fails, nothing beats going for a run around campus on a sunny morning.
At Carolina, athletics help our students not only grow stronger physically, but also grow stronger as a community, because what better way to bond with others than sprinting from the Dean Dome to Franklin Street to celebrate the biggest victories of the year?
Go Heels. Hark the Sound.

Crayola is launching Colors of the World crayons—24 new crayons designed to represent more than 40 global skin tones across the world.
The crayon packs feature side panels that serve as color references. Each crayon is wrapped in a gradient skin tone label with the color name in English, Spanish and French, and has a realistic color name, such as Light Golden, Deep Almond and Medium Deep Rose, to help kids easily find the shade they identify as their own.
"With the world growing more diverse than ever before, Crayola hopes our new Colors of the World crayons will increase representation and foster a greater sense of belonging and acceptance," says Crayola CEO Rich Wuerthele, in a news release. "We want the new Colors of the World crayons to advance inclusion within creativity and impact how kids express themselves."
Crayola partnered with Victor Casale, formerly Chief Chemist and Managing Director, R&D of MAC cosmetics and Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Cover FX and currently CEO of MOB Beauty.
Together, Casale and Crayola systematically created crayon colors that step down from light to deep shades across rose, almond, and golden undertones, resulting in a 24 global shade palette to reflect the full spectrum of human complexions.
"I have spent my life trying to create truly global shade palettes because I know what it's like to be with a person who has finally found their exact match. They feel included and recognized, and I am hoping every child who uses these crayons and finds their shade will have that feeling," says Casale. "Growing up, I remember mixing the pink and dark brown crayons to try and make my shade, so I was thrilled when Crayola asked for my help to create the Colors of the World crayons."
"Crayola first launched its multicultural product platform in 1992, so we are thrilled about the new Colors of World innovation and the unique partnership with Victor," says Mimi Dixon, Manager Brand Equity and Activation at Crayola. "What intrigued Crayola about Victor was not only his extensive experience in creating shades that capture the natural beauty of every skin tone, but his abiding passion and commitment nurturing inclusion and representation. His expertise, candor and guidance throughout the development process was invaluable and brings an enhanced level of credibility and authenticity to the Colors of the World product."
Crayola Colors of the World crayons come in a 24 and 32-count pack and will begin to hit shelves in July. The 32-count crayon pack, sold exclusively at Walmart and comprised of the 24 new colors plus four hair and four eye color, is available for pre-order today via this link on Walmart.com.

Referring to the set of all sets typically leads to a paradox. Is the set an element of itself, or not? Usually, formal logic disallows the construction of such a set. You can refer to "all sets" in the metalanguage.
The statement "no set is an element of itself" has a quantifier that ranges over all sets.
Although in naive set theory, we can talk of the set of all sets that are not elements of themselves, there appear to be set theories with no contradiction found so far where such a thing as the set of all set exists but the set of all sets that are not elements of themselves doesn't.

TRIGGER WARNING: This post contains sensitive content regarding Eating Disorders.
My diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in the second month of my freshman year of college turned my world upside down. I had moved into my university dorm a month and a half before and my new college life had become a blur of tears and vision, exhaustion, excessive thirst and urination. Soon I was making multiple trips to the bathroom during the night and began sleeping on the floor because it was easier than climbing in and out of my lofted dorm-room bed. I had attributed most of my symptoms to the stress of acclimating to college life, but I finally realized that the constant thirst and trips to the bathroom were abnormal.
I was seen by a doctor at the university health services and was hospitalized immediately with the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. During my first visit with a dietician after diagnosis, I was told about how I could accumulate fat under my skin from the injections (lipohypertrophy) and how insulin can cause gain weight. I left the appointment in tears. All I heard was insulin = fat.
Let me back up: on and off for the previous five years, I had silently struggled with body image and an eating disorder. No matter what the scale said, it was always too much, and I had never felt comfortable in my own skin. I obsessed over my food, and would eat very little, becoming extremely hungry and then overeating to compensate. I felt guilty, ashamed and worthless when I overate, and I reacted by trying to purge the food. The vicious binge-and-purge cycle gripped me off-and-on for five years.Although I was athletic and played multiple sports throughout middle and high school and was always fit, I never felt like I was good enough. While I was doing relatively well when I started college, I had refused to complete outpatient therapy in high school and had not fully dealt with my disorder.
The diagnosis of Type 1 brought me back to square one. Suddenly I felt as though I was damaged and merely a walking pin cushion. The delusion I carried around in my head, the idea of being perfect and having the perfect body, was shattered. How could I be perfect when I needed insulin everyday just to stay alive and I had bruises and marks from the injections covering my stomach? It wasn't only the physical markers, but the constant counting of everything I ate, and the need to calculate and dose insulin. Suddenly I had to focus on my food again and analyze everything I ate. In my head, I associated insulin with weight gain.
It did not take long for me to begin skipping injections, and giving only enough insulin to keep me out of the hospital. Although it was difficult to function with high blood sugars, I was too scared of gaining weight from the insulin to stop. I couldn't function very well in college, and I was constantly grumpy, thirsty and tired. I knew I was hurting myself, and that I needed stop, but I couldn't do it alone.
I had spent years hating myself and trying to change, but now I had a dangerous "tool" to lose weight, one that would have devastating effects on my body in the long run. After my A1C increased dramatically and my mother expressed her concerns during an appointment, my endocrinologist sent me to see a mental health professional. That was the tipping point that led me to getting a great diabetes care team that included care for my mental health.
Over the last four years I have worked towards becoming healthy, both physically and mentally. I have been able to address my own body image issues, and by slowly shedding my rigid perfectionism, I have been able to embrace my body and also my diabetes.
By working with several dietitians I have learned how to nourish my body through nutrition and enjoy preparing and cooking healthy foods. I enjoy running for exercise and stress relief and have run many races including 5ks and a half marathon.
I eat healthy, exercise and manage my diabetes not because I hate my body, but because I love my body. I am not at a perfect weight, but I am at a healthy weight.
With an incredible support system of family and friends, a diabetes care team that included mental health, and acceptance of my diagnosis and myself, I feel stronger than I ever have.

Leading with vision to make an impact by Travis Waits
Leaders who have conviction about their vision are more likely to be successful at making the impact they are called to make. This is how you as a leader, fulfill your magnitude of mission. Travis Waits explains why holding to your leadership vision is crucial for growth.
The old adage, "begin with the end in mind" is a helpful summary of what the target of your fulfilled vision is. As a leader though, it's important that you take it a step further from just 'what' you want to achieve. It will create a more profound impact if you get clear on 'why' you do what you do.
What drives you?
What's your passion?
How will you know when you are fulfilled?
How do you know you are authentic?
Are you functioning in alignment with what you're created to do?
These are helpful questions for leaders to inquire with self evaluation. They also help you to clarify your vision, rather the target of your vision. Whey you know your why, you are more likely to move forward with passion and conviction.
Please share this post if you found it helpful 🙂

'A Taste of Beckett' at the Theatre Royal
Theatre Royal Artistic Director Ben Barnes will direct Waterford's Carrie Crowley in 'Footfalls' and Arthur Riordan in 'Krapp's Last Tape'.
Rarely seen in Ireland as a new productions in recent years as a result of The Gate Theatre's dominance of the Beckett canon, the Theatre Royal is delighted to premiere these new productions for its audience in Waterford and beyond.
'Footfalls' is a moving and poetic distillation of the relationship between May and her mother evoked by two voices as May's lone figure metronomically paces the stage, picking at the seams of their ghostly bonds.
Carrie Crowley returns to her home city for a five-week residency to play the role of May. Carrie has performed extensively on stage and her return to the Theatre Royal is like coming home for this Waterford Gaeilgeoir.
Carrie's roles extend to television and radio, but her first love, theatre has seen her not only star in productions of 'The Separation', 'Improbable Frequency', '84 Charing Cross Road', 'The Adventures of the Wet Senor' but also as writer, director and producer of 'Waterway'.
'Krapp's Last Tape' is a moving and beautiful evocation of human failure. Performed by renowned actor and playwright Arthur Riordan, 69-year-old Krapp listens to a recording of his 39-year-old self only serving to further exacerbate his sense of aloneness and a life filled with regret.
Arthur is a founding member of Rough Magic Theatre Company and has performed with most of Ireland's leading theatre companies, including The Abbey and Peacock, Druid, Gaiety, Corca Dorca, Lane Productions and Pan Pan.
His latest musical, 'The Train', a fictional celebration surrounding the highly controversial "contraceptive train" of 1971, has been critically acclaimed during its run at Dublin's Abbey Theatre and Belfast's The MAC.
This is only the second time that actors have taken residency at Waterford's Theatre Royal. Last year, Don Wycherley, starring in Eoin Colfer's My Real Life was artist-in-residence at the theatre for a five-week run.
Ben Barnes, Theatre Royal Artistic Director, is delighted to bring "these two plays from the master of the economically expressed drama of the human heart" to the Royal.
"The wonderful acoustics and atmosphere of the Theatre Royal work in tandem to heighten the intensity, desolation, loneliness, confusion and regret experienced by these two conflicted characters."
A Taste of Beckett runs at the Royal from June 21st to July 21st. [June 21st Preview / June 22nd, 23rd, 29th & 30th, July 6th, 7th, 13th, 20th & 21st; Time: 8pm. Tickets: €17 / €15 concession. Early bird booking €15 /€13 concession until June 14th. Booking: 051 874402 or www.theatreroyal.ie]

Review: Skoda Fabia (2015)
Looking for a Skoda Fabia (2015 on)?
Register your interest for later or request to be contacted by a dealer to talk through your options now.
Practical cabin with an impressively spacious boot, DAB radio and Bluetooth as standard, comfortable and easy to drive.
Base model doesn't have air con or alloy wheels.
Skoda Fabia (2015): At A Glance
- New prices start from £10,525, brokers can source from £9,583
- Contract hire deals from £169.64 per month
- Insurance Groups are between 3–14
- On average it achieves 80% of the official MPG figure
The Skoda Fabia has always been a sensible choice of small car and the latest incarnation keeps up the tradition. It's reasonably priced, cheap to run, comfortable and practical, but gets an added dash of upmarket appeal thanks to new Skoda family styling and extra technology, including standard DAB radio and Bluetooth.
The engine range is made up exclusively of frugal options, the entry-level engine being a 1.0-litre petrol producing 60PS. There's also a 75PS version of the same engine, while a 1.0-litre turbocharged unit is also available with 95PS or 110PS. Diesel buyers get a 1.4-litre producing 75PS, 90PS or 105PS.
Our pick of the range is the 95PS 1.0-litre petrol, which is perky and responsive yet still very efficient returning official economy of 64.2mpg. Although none of the engines are particularly exciting, and the Fabia isn't a fun car to drive, it is quiet and comfortable, both in town and on the motorway.
It's practical, too. The boot is a good size at 330 litres – significantly ahead of rivals like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Despite this fact, there's space in the back for two adults to sit in reasonable comfort – though children will be more at home here. There are also two Isofix mounting points in the rear as standard.
Up front there's a neat dashboard with logical controls and clear dials, with upmarket details such as a touchscreen system on offer. That said, despite more technology being available, the Fabia does lag a little when it comes to materials, with no plush, soft-touch plastics like you'd see on many rival models including the Volkswagen Polo.
But the Fabia does represent excellent value for money thanks to reasonable list prices, decent equipment levels and low running costs. This, combined with its grown-up feel, makes it a strong contender in the competitive supermini segment.

Skoda Fabia (2015): What's It Like Inside?
- Boot space is 305–1125 litres
- Euro NCAP rating of five stars
|3992–4028 mm
|1958 mm
|1452–1472 mm
|2470 mm
The Skoda Fabia has a practical cabin, as you'd expect of a Skoda model. The boot is impressively spacious at 330 litres, beating rivals from Ford and Vauxhall. The opening is wide and there are nice touches like a cargo net and bag hooks. Sadly the load area isn't flat, with a load lip to lift items over. That is a minor quibble, though.
Up front the cabin is solidly put together, with a neat, simple layout. Dials are clear and controls logical, including those in the touchscreen infotainment system, which includes Bluetooth connectivity and DAB radio. While the materials used feel hardwearing, there's no plush, soft-touch plastic to be found – something you'll find in many rival cars including the Volkswagen Polo.
The back row is perfectly respectable for a small car, with space for two adults to sit in a reasonable level of comfort. Access is good, since the Fabia is offered in five-door form only – so no scrambling through a tiny gap. Children will be perfectly at home however old they are, thanks to ample headroom and the fitment of two Isofix mounts as standard.
Thoughtful touches include an ice scraper fitted to the inside of the fuel flap, a trunk tidy to stop shopping rolling about and a dangler so that those of shorter stature can reach the hatchback to close it.
Standard equipment includes Bluetooth, DAB Radio and front electric windows, but basic models do without air conditioning and alloy wheels. To get those you'll need an SE model, which also gains niceties like an improved audio system and parking sensors. SE L versions get added luxuries including climate control and larger alloy wheels – though these don't impair the good ride quality.
Skoda offers MirrorLink on SE models and above, similar to the systems offered in the Citroen C1, Peugeot 108 and Toyota Aygo and Renault Twingo. This allows a driver to link a smartphone to the car, bringing up many of the smartphone apps, including satnav, to a bigger touch screen on the dash.
Standard Equipment from January 2015
S models come with 15-inch steel wheels, height adjustable driver's seat, under seat storage compartments, boot luggage hooks, height and reach adjustable steering wheel, two rear Isofix mounts, remote central locking, DAB radio, electrically adjustable door mirrors, electric windows, USB connectivity and Bluetooth.
SE trim adds 15-inch alloy wheels, leather-trimmed steering wheel, manual air conditioning, six speakers, rear parking sensors, improved touchscreen system with telephone control, speed limiter and front assist emergency braking.
SE L is the top trim and gains 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, LED running lights, multifunction steering wheel control, floor mats, centre arm rest, climate control, automatic lights, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, keyless engine start/stop and cruise control.

What's the Skoda Fabia (2015) like to drive?
- Engines range from 1.0 60 to 1.4 TDI 105
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 35–73 mpg
Skoda is offering the Fabia with a choice of seven engines – four petrol and three diesel. The entry-level 1.0-litre engines are shared with the smaller Citigo and produce either 60PS or 75PS. Despite lacking outright power they're perfectly fine for town and are even fairly hushed at lower engine speeds, plus they're clean, with CO2 emissions of around 110g/km.
Stepping up to the turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol is well worth it, though. Both the 95PS and 110PS versions are flexible and perky, with enough torque for motorway driving and overtaking. Despite offering more power and flexibility over the 1.0-litre, the difference in fuel economy and running costs is non-existent – with economy of between 61.4mpg and 64.2mpg.
There's also a 1.4-litre diesel with 75PS, 90PS or 105PS. Economy is impressive at up to 70.6mpg for the manual variants, so for long distance drivers on a budget it might be the best choice. While we'd opt for one of the higher output variants for motorway or fast A-road driving, all are capable performers.
For those who need an automatic there are two DSG choices – the 110PS 1.0-litre petrol and the 90PS 1.4-litre diesel. Both maintain good performance, low emissions and frugal fuel economy.
Handing is safe and predictable across all variants of the Fabia. The suspension offers a good blend of ride comfort and stability, with little body roll through bends. Well-weighted steering is reassuring in the corners but it doesn't communicate the road surface like the steering in a Fiesta, nor is there the same sense of driver involvement.
Nonetheless the Fabia is a capable car with plenty of grip and, perhaps more importantly, good ride quality - though generally this is better in the 1.4-litre diesel versions, which have more weight over the front wheels.
The Fabia is available with some new technologies to make driving easier, including cruise control on top SE L models and front assist on SE and above. This will scan the road ahead and brake the car if it detects a stationary object and the driver fails to react. There's also an optional hill-hold assistant for £65 and a fatigue sensor that detects when the driver is tired and suggests a break, costing £55.

Jackson Palmer Aim a Dig at Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
The infamous Joke Coin creator ( Doge Coi6n) has criticised Bitcoin Cash, BCH a hardfork that occure on the the Original Bitcoin.
Since it's fork BCH has faced alot of criticism and even more now as a hardfork had occurred among it's block with the emergence of BSV spearhead by Dr Craig Wright.
poetic Palmer called the situation of BCH a coin who early this month lost it position to the controversial BSV but now BCH is currently 8th on the coin market cap with BSV occupying the 9th position.
In palmer words
It's pretty poetic that the downfall of the most contentious Bitcoin fork coin was it competing with a contentious fork of itself.

Hello. I wonder if it okay to just copy someone else's better worded posting and use it as mine....? It would be a lot easier than trying to figure out what to write here! Well fist off as you see from the title I am a single mother, my son is 10 years old, so I'm stuck with him for 18 more years!!! Now that that part is over... I am a caucasian woman, 5'7, a few extra pounds yucky... but not fat fat!, brown hair. I work full time, have my own car although the engine light did come on last week. I am very independent... sometimes stubbornly so. I love to goof off and play and be silly. I am not sure exactly where to look to meet men and then I have this shyness issue also! I believe in God, but getting up early on the weekends for church is soooo hard to do... I am looking for a caucasian male who is looking for something real. I am looking for someone fun, someone who I can just chill with, go to the beach, go to the movies, go on some trails as friends or more. I would like to meet someone who was okay also with going out for drinks, being silly and just enjoying life. I really wish I could just put my picture up here so you could see and then see if you like it enough or not... cause we all know looks do matter, you have to have some sort of physical attraction, but I am so afraid someone I know would see it, and how embarrassing that would be! I have posted on here before but there were too many replies men, sheesh! and I had didn't have time to go through it all, I would ask that you send a pic I'll be more likely to look at the email and if I like yours I will send mine back. I would like to maybe have coffee on Sunday afternoon or next Sat/Sunday and get back into the dating scene, I have been out of it for a while! Good luck with your search!!!

The Height of Insanity: Learning from "Free Solo"
- POSTED Monday, March 18, 2019
- CATEGORY: Uncategorized
- TAGS: Tags: big picture, leadership legacy, Strategic planning
- No Comments
This weekend we watched the terrifying and thrilling "Free Solo." This National Geographic documentary captures an unprecedented climb by Alex Honnold: scaling the 3,000-foot El Capitan in Yosemite Park without a rope or safety gear.
When I first heard about Honnold's climb, I thought "that's insane!" along with "why would anyone do that?" These sentiments were echoed by those closest to Honnold, other elite climbers, and most especially, by his film crew. There was a good chance they'd capture him falling to his death.
One particularly compelling aspect of the story to me was the "both/and" angle: how Honnold saw the impossible by working with the possible.
"You need a little bit of insanity to do great things." – Henry Rollins
The climb's consequences are extreme: one misstep is doom. Against that backdrop, though, nothing was left to chance. Honnold and his comrades studied every inch of that mountain. He choreographed the route step by step. He knew it by heart and practiced it repeatedly (with safety gear). You can hear him reciting those steps in interviews. You'll also hear him talk about visualizing himself succeeding. He believed he could do this.
Honnold's aspiration – insane though it was – taps directly into an important aspect of leadership: seeing possibilities others can't and challenging people to dig deep into themselves. Seeing and believing in such a crazy goal is awe-inspiring. It taps into proven elements of what innately motivates us: having a purpose and developing mastery along the way. It creates focus. It inspires dedication.
Equally, it is the balance of establishing huge goals AND recognizing that it takes detailed planning to get there that make for a winning combination of leadership. I can't tell you how often I hear frustration among teams when half the people are caught up by the big idea and the other half need to know the nitty-gritty details first.
The reality is that each side needs the other.
Finding The Best of Both Worlds
Managing these opposite tensions isn't easy and it is precisely tensions like these that are at the heart of leadership. What matters is whether you can attend to both ends of the spectrum. Strong leaders pull the best from each and ensure one end isn't always in favor. How can you practice this?
- Know thyself – which end of this spectrum is your go-to? What do you overlook by honoring this preference?
- Engage other views – who represents the perspective of the other end? Will they willingly share it? Will you willingly listen?
- Take a learner's mindset – how might it serve you to practice working against your preference for the sake of broadening your leadership experience?
- Remember to remember – teams also get stuck in forgetfulness. They can either be so focused in the weeds they lose sight of the "why" OR they only look at the big picture without acknowledging where there are operational breakdowns. How can you check in on both across any big goal?
While scaling El Capitan is nowhere near my bucket list, it's been awhile since I've named an insane goal for myself … the idea is captivating.
What's your current insanity?

Matthew 6:24-34
God is our ultimate goal. To attain this end, we must entirely commit ourselves to Him.
A proverb is a short pithy statement that smartly expresses a general truth. Today's Gospel begins with a proverb that may well have been a popular saying in Jesus' own day and age:
"No one can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24).
No matter what one's religious convictions may be, this affirmation rings true. One's mind and heart best are given to one supreme goal. Competing interests fuel frustrations and lead to real and lasting disappointments.
Saint Augustine (+430) expresses the same truth in the very beginning of his classic work Confessions when he exclaims: "You have made us for Yourself O Lord, and our hearts is restless until it rests in You."
Far too much time and energy is squandered worrying about tomorrow.
Of course, we have a responsibility to care for those around us and to live generously and gratefully for all God has given us. The difference Jesus tells us is letting Him be Lord, Savior and Messiah of our lives and stop acting as though its our world with others living in it.

The Fire Within [Hard / Heavy]
LABEL: Metal Heaven
VERTRIEB: SoulfoodWEBSITE: www.ronnymunroe.com
Ronny Munroes "Fire Within" ist aus einer großen Leidenschaft heraus entstanden. Frustriert darüber, nicht mit Metal Church touren zu können, zog Munroe von L.A. zurück nach Seattle.
Ronny Munroe's "Fire Within" was created the way a true metal album should be with nothing but spirit.
Frustrated, unable to tour with Metal Church (on hiatus), and forced to relocate from L.A., Ronny found himself back in Seattle. What was originally supposed to be a 2009 festival-headlining tour with Metal Church turned out to be one man, forced to decide between joining society as a 9-to-5'er" or creating a new vision. Ronny chose his pathwith pen in hand and an indomitable spirit, he sat in his small apartment and drew from "The Fire Within."
Track one, "Far," is an opener like no other, an undeniable force which sets the pace for a redefinition of metal that reminds us why Ronny fronts the legendary band Metal Church. From start to finish this passionate offering takes you on a journey. With a little help from guests like Michael Wilton (Queensryche) on "Sea of Sorrows" and "What You Choose to Call Hell (I Call Home), THC (Texas Hippie Coalition) on "Ride Me", and the brilliant work of MC Guitarist Rick Van Zandt, "The Fire Within" establishes itself as a force to be reckoned with.
This vibrant 12-track offering is no joke and no lie. It's true, it's pure, it's in-your-face, and will satisfy metal lovers from any genre. Co-produced by Kurt Vanderhoof and Ronny himself, this powerful release will stand the test of time!

Whether you've been thinking of selling the house you're living in, or a place you're be moving out of in the near future, you need to be able to do home improvements. You don't have to expend a lot of effort to make a dramatic difference in your home with very simple projects. This article can offer useful tips on how you are able to make great improvements.
Use fans when you are renovating in the summertime. Ceiling fans can circulate air in your room because they improve a room's circulation.
You can find hinges at a local hardware store. Just take the hinge apart the hinge and simply attach every side to the frame and the door.
Don't throw out your bedroom doors due to them being dirty. Remove your door from the frame, then sand it until its bare wood is visible. Then buy some oil paint you like and paint the door with the paint roller. If you want things to feel fresh and new, select some fancy doorknobs.
Get references from anyone you hire to do improvements at your behalf. Consider it like you're hiring employees for a business. You need to figure out their background as thoroughly as you can and be sure that there are reliable.
A roof replacement is one of replacing a home improvement projects. Get estimates from at least three roofing companies and check their references. There are a lot of options for roofing materials including tile, from lightweight tiles to traditional shingles. A good contractor that does roofing will assist you with the choice.
Humidity from showering with hot water creates the growth of mold. Painting over mold but it will not totally kill it off. You will need to be proactive to prevent the mold from growing. Put in a window and clear the air for good.
A garage door that is re-painted will add eye-catching appeal. Garage doors often get scratched or dinged, causing them to look dingy and worn. A fresh coat of paint helps make your house look newer and more valuable.
Move your furniture away from your walls to make the room appear bigger. This makes it seem that the room is larger while creating a more modern and contemporary appearance.
Don't let a contractor trick you into thinking they promise that a job will be done in unrealistic time frames. A contractor might have reasons for rushing a project. They probably want their workers in order to get them off to other jobs.
Smoke Alarms
You can save a lot on homeowner's insurance by installing some quality smoke alarms in your home and checking them regularly. This effect is greater with older homes because the insurance companies know that more recent homes are more fire-resistant. Smoke alarms can save your life.
Crown molding makes a remarkable difference to your walls. Crown molding introduces a little personality if you are looking for a way to spice them up. Crown molding really is not that is both cheap and easy to install.
This makes the bristles and causes them to wear out faster. You can also hang up mops by hanging them so they dry throughly.
The benchmark line will provide you with a useful reference point for measuring when installing the cabinets. The line should start the floor's highest pot.
If you have anything that uses gas inside your house, you need to make sure that the gas is completely cut off. Just because you don't smoke doesn't mean there aren't sparks that could ignite the gas.Even though you may not have disconnected the gas line, you may let gas loose as you move stuff around.
Installing carpet into your hallways and other high-traffic paths could end up costing you lots of money.It must be replaced sooner rather than later.Instead, add tile, linoleum or any other type of dirt and water resistant materials.
Vinyl decks have gained in popularity with many homeowners. The best season to clean them are fall and spring.
Walk your house about once a month to find simple projects to complete. Identifying air leaks is a good example. Once leaks are detected, insulate them and you can save money.
When you imagine your completed outdoor home improvement project, picture the result and ask yourself if it will stick out like a sore thumb in your neighborhood. Do you really want to set yourself up as the home which is going to be so different?
A home improvement project can provide great benefits. A single project can improve your home's functionality and beauty. With the information in this article safely stored in your mind, you can get started right away on a project. Just pick something you really want to accomplish and go to work on it!
