Prospering Light~ A group story
A group story made by me and katty1989. <-- Add her!! Jade is really nice!!
Anyways... Do the three "r's"!! Read, rate, and reply to the story!!
Chapter 3
Another job on Earth
I should've seen it coming. It's my job, after all.
Being an angel has never been easy on me. I have had to decide on placement for all these humans, keep a lot of them alive, and even kick out some demons. There is a very good reason why the Lord trusts me with His most secretive buisness.
"Gabriel." His voice rings and radiates throughout the entire room when I walk in, causing a chill to run up my spine. I bow in front of Him, giving God the respect He deserves. "I've seen that you have exceeded with your main jobs recently. You've saved... how many more lives than the usual average?" Numbers flop and rotate in my head.
"676... or was it 767? One of those, sir." He looks at me with His holy eyes.
"I need you to go down to Earth. I've sensed... some darkness. You must sense it too, don't you, Gabriel?" The Lord places a hand on my shoulder and I jolt back by the electrifying shock of evil. "I want you to go down and fix this. I have faith that you will do what's right and solve our small problem." I nod, obeying the order.
I leave Him and go to the gates of Heaven. Everytime I have passed from our world to theirs, I experience immense pain. However, I have no choice now for the fate of their world is in this trip.
I open the gates and bounce off the clouds, plummeting to the Earth.

Letters to the Editor: CULAC Action In Race A Step Forward, Not Back
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
As a past chairman of the Credit Union Legislative Action Council of CUNA (CULAC), I take strong exception to The Credit Union Journal's characterization of CULAC's recent independent expenditure campaigns as a "major setback." ("CUNA Efforts in Primary Races Experience Major Setback," Aug. 11)
Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who are involved in national politics would see these actions as a step forward for CULAC. While the candidates CULAC supported in these races - Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) and Republican House candidate Jeff Crank in Colorado-failed to win their respective nominations, CULAC's unprecedented level of support put the Washington political community on notice that credit unions will be there for those who are there for credit unions, even when the going gets tough.
The message this sends to members of Congress and candidates is that credit union support means something, that credit unions will put their money where their mouth is when it comes to supporting our friends.
In 2002, during my first term as Chair of CULAC, we started down this path by spending a small amount, around $80,000, to help elect two candidates-Rep. John Porter (R-NV) and Rep. Mike Michaud (D-ME) - who have proven to be strong credit union allies on Capitol Hill. Then in 2004 we spent a little more, this time just over $200,000, in three efforts. One, for Rep. Alyson Schwartz (D-PA), was successful; the other two, for Rep. Phil Crane and David Huffman, as the story noted, were not. Nonetheless, as our receipts grew in record numbers each cycle, our aim was to gradually grow the number and level of these campaigns to the point where we were of real use to credit union-friendly candidates.
CULAC support, and non-support, of candidates has not been an indicator of their support of credit unions once they get into office. A prime example of this is Rep. Melissa Bean, the candidate who defeated Phil Crane. Rep. Bean has proven to be a good friend to credit unions during her tenure. There have been other cases where we have supported someone who turned out not to have credit unions' best interest at heart. This cycle CULAC has expended $310,000 on independent expenditures to help two of its friends.
There are thousands of political action committees, but very few regularly take that next step beyond merely contributing to friends to actually campaigning for them in a meaningful way. What we are seeing is CULAC's natural evolution from one of the thousand check-cutting PACs into one of the few with the resources and willingness to risk an independent expenditure. CULAC and CUNA should be commended for moving in this direction, no matter what the outcome.
Finally, one must remember that at least one of these races is far from over. As an independent candidate in a state where independents outnumber both Democrats and Republicans, there is a very real chance that Sen. Lieberman will still be a senator come January. One must assume he will look back at his ordeal and take notice of whom his real friends were-those who stuck by him when the going got really tough.
Rick Pillow, President
Virginia Credit Union League, Lynchburg, Va.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted almost every aspect of people's lives globally. We are witnessing a significant change not just in the way normal daily activities are carried out but also in consumer behaviors and expectations.
The shifts have been bittersweet for the world in general. Where the pandemic has affected numerous industries and caused countless people to lose their jobs, it has simultaneously paved the way for growth of e-commerce and tech-based companies all while enabling people to move towards a digital lifestyle.
While, in terms of carrying out our life and day-to-day activities, most people have adjusted, some fundamental aspects of life still remain unresolved. Education, for instance, is a primary area of concern at the moment. Globally, 188 countries have closed educational institutions leaving an estimated 1.6 billion students out of schools.
For Pakistan, education has always been a challenge. Since the day we became a nation-state, we have been facing hurdles in ensuring that all children, particularly the most disadvantaged, attend and learn in school. Education can be equated with shelter, health and food. It is a critical need which defines the character, personality and future prospects of an individual. The need for education, if left unaddressed, can have a detrimental impact on just individuals but the entire fabric of society. It possesses the power to make or break states in the long run.
According to a research by Unicef, Pakistan has the world's second-highest number of out-of-school children (OOSC) with an estimated 22.8 million children aged 5-16 not attending school, representing 44 percent of the total population in this age group. If that's not alarming on its own, what is?
While we are struggling to provide quality education to a significant chunk of Pakistani children, Covid-19 has exacerbated an existing issue revealing further chinks in our armor. With schools and educational institutes being closed, we are trying to pivot towards a more progressive model of learning.
Online education, a concept which has already been adopted by the majority of the first world countries, is being experimented with various institutions across the country as a last resort. Governments around the world have taken immediate necessary measures to mitigate the brewing crisis, all while safeguarding students' and nations' futures. Technological advancement, robust economies and priorities towards the education sector in general have lowered the risk of impairment. However, that is not the case with Pakistan.
While students attending private institutes may be privileged enough to have the necessary means required for online/digital education such as computers, tablets, internet connectivity, mics and webcams etc, most of the students (especially those in public schools) do not have access to these amenities. Most of these families have a hard time providing essential means at their households to begin with. With this fundamental factor, sadly the benefits of e-learning and online classes can only be reaped by the upper-middle and higher class families.
In recent events, the World Bank is in process of providing Pakistan with a $200 million loan for strengthening both federal and provincial governments. This tranche was originally aimed at reducing the impact of external shocks on the education system all while increasing access to quality education in unprivileged districts of the country. Similarly, Rs64 billion and Rs 4.5 billion have been allocated to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) respectively.
Ideally, the combined amount should work in a federal-to-provincial performance based model which would offer both financial support and on-demand technical assistance to provinces based on their segmented needs, especially in the most disadvantaged areas in the country. However, the way budgets and aid are generally spent in the country, it is most likely to be scattered into the relevant federal ministries and then dispersed who knows where.
In order to successfully avoid this impending crisis, Pakistan needs to develop stringent policies in collaboration with the private sector working in education. Simultaneously, the private sector needs to let go of their profit-making exercises and stand tall in supporting the government with technical and infrastructural support. Additionally, billions of rupees which were contributed from conglomerates to the Prime Minister's COVID Relief Fund should also be added in order to purchase the technical support required to educate the lower class families of the nation.
Possibly, a pertinent remedy needed at this moment is for both public and private educational institutes to pay attention to the feedback of newer education models being implemented since our students and teachers aren't familiar with it. An online platform, monitored by the federal department, should be made at the earliest for students to lodge their complaints and suggestions. Similarly, extra attention is required by parents to make sure children are reaping the benefits of online learning and not taking advantage of the absence of a physical classroom and teacher.
The pandemic has brought an unforeseen and unfortunate situation which third world countries were definitely not prepared for. Considering this unprecedented scenario, the need to embrace a positive, futuristic and attainable approach is required by the government, the HEC and private universities in order to safeguard the future of countless students in Pakistan.

Great van, except for the drivetrain issue.
By Dru on Friday, August 24, 2018Weve owned this van for 16 months and it has done great on trips and around town. The drivetrain has become an issue and the techs at Ford cant figure out how to correct it; its been in the shop many days over the last few weeks.

A reasonably comfortable, nice performance vehicle
By GL on Wednesday, March 27, 2019This transit with the 3.7 L engine drives great with plenty of power for driving the hills and mountains of east tennessee. It handles curves and street driving ok as well. I am averaging 16.6 mpg. The only performance problem I have encountered is some rather strong buffeting behind a semi at highway speed. When I backed off about 75 feet the buffeting was only slight. The front seats aren't the best with just fabric covering and rather poor small arm rests. But they are reasonable comfortable. The rear 13 seats, small, cramped, etc are fit for only short trips of 30 minutes or less. At 6ft 3in tall I am unable to stretch my legs out completely which makes driving long times a bit difficult. The overhead interior is starting to pull away from the walls of the vehicle leaving small 1/4-1/2 inch gaps. Finally, getting in the van is awkward, both for me and my 5ft 7in tall wife. If I go straight for the seat it's a bit high and I have to slide onto the seat. If I first step onto the interior step, I then am too high and may bump my head. She has to pull herself in using the handle on the passenger side.

Brake and tire eaters
By Fleet Admin on Wednesday, September 16, 2020We have several of these in our fleet (2017 Transit 250 vans, (1) 2017 Transit 350 van, as well as several 2018 Transit 150 vans and several 2019-2020 Transit 250 vans - all medium roof vans with the longer wheelbase). They are decent vans, but they eat through rear brakes and tires like no ones business, especially those servicing stores in the mountainous terrain. We have tried several different brand of tires, all results are mostly the same. Also use Motorcraft brand brakes, they wear out fast and costly to replace. Front hubs have to be changed out we are told. Our older Ford E150 and E250 vans were much easier on the tires and brakes. We have also had vibration issues and now one of our 2017 vans has transmission failure at 156,000 miles. Also major issues with the little trim covers located on the 3rd brake light, as even only a week old, they were falling off. Was at the dealer several times to finally resolve that issue. Our drivers love they can walk through them, but I personally miss the E250 van. Too bad they stopped making it.

Report: Danny Amendola to miss six weeks
It looks like the difference of opinion about the severity of Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola's shoulder injury is going to work out well for the Rams.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Rams believe Amendola has suffered a sternoclavicular joint separation near his right collarbone. The sternoclavicular joint is where the collarbone meets the chest and that diagnosis would likely get Amendola back into the lineup faster than if he had suffered a broken collarbone as originally feared.
The prognosis for return now is six weeks, although Schefter reports that Amendola could be back in the lineup quicker than that if his recovery process goes well. That would be a very agreeable development for the Rams, whose receiving corps was thin even with Amendola, who had 31 catches in the first four games and one catch before his injury, on the field. Sam Bradford completed just seven passes in Thursday night's win, a number that normally makes it very difficult for teams to win games.
Steve Smith, Austin Pettis, Chris Givens, Brandon Gibson and rookie Brian Quick will be charged with making up for Amendola's absence, a task that may prove to be too big for them based on their past performances. The good news is that if they can do enough to keep the Rams' collective head above water, they should have Amendola back in the second half of the season.

What made New York jump the gun on the Charter Spectrum voting?
ALBANIA - Diane Burman, member of the State Civil Service Commissioner, is a common voiced disagreement in the Utilities Regulatory Committee and often expresses her concern when major changes are made with little government involvement. However, when the committee took the dramatic Friday move to ban Charter Spectrum - New York's biggest wire company - from the state, Burman never had a moment to raise its complaints:
It was quickly planned for a date when she said that the chairman knew she would not be in the city. Burman, in an interviewer with the Albany Bureau of the USA TODAY Network, refused to say how she would have approved the action that revoked the Commission's 2016 clearance to merge Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable, giving the firm 60 working days to create an opt-out of state.
However, Burman said she was on a "planned holiday", of which the committee knew when the date of the rally was foreseen. "James Denn, a spokesperson for the committee, did not answer directly to the question as to whether PSC chairman John Rhodes knew Burman was on leave and would be compelled to miss the meet if he hurriedly set it up on Thursday night, just 18 1/2 hrs before the one.
For he also declined to respond to whether Rhodes had been informed whether Burman had any reservation or contradiction against the charter ballot when he offered the meet. 3 to 0 to withdraw Charter Spectrum from the market, with Rhodes and Commissioners James Alesi and Gregg Sayre in favour.
"Said Denn in a declaration, "The committee had to tackle current breaches in a timely fashion". "We know that the vast majority assembled of European Union inspectors approved the resolution. With a view to protecting the interests of the New Yorkers without delay, the European Union made progress. "Burma's referendum would not have altered the result of the Commission's Friday actions, but it would have had the opportunity to make its voice heard in front of the general audience, which it has often done as a negative voice since it was first called to the Executive Committee in 2013.
In New York Charter Spectrum has around 2 million clients. It and the Public Service Commision have argued over high-speed connectivity in less populous areas of the state, which the firm had to develop as part of the 2016 fusion. In question are 18,000 firms which Charter refers to its benchmark expansions, which the European Economic and Social Committee considers null and void.
As a result, last weekend the European Parliament voted to revoke the authorisation to merge against which the Charter is likely to oppose and which the European Parliament had been threatened with for a number of years. On Friday at 12.30 on Thursday evening at 18.00 the European Parliament informed the general public about the hearing. Legislation on open meetings of the State stipulates a minimum of 72 hours' prior notification if a open session is planned at least one full day in advance. 7.
In case a session is planned less than one weeks in advance, it is necessary to make a call "reasonable period in advance" according to the Act. Rodos said Thursday that the European Parliament would be prepared to take a decision on Friday, according to the Civil Service Committee. Mr Robert Freeman, leader of the State Committee for Open Government, said that whether sufficient dismissal took place depended on when the members of the committee were notified of the session.
"Had they known that on Tuesday or Wednesday, in my view, it would have been irrational to have been waiting until almost 6 p.m. to give the notice for the Friday meeting," Freeman said. Meanwhile, Charter Spectrum has not indicated what the next move will be and whether it intends to appeal the Commission's decision in the courts.
Speaking in a Friday declaration, Andrew Russell proposed that the Commission's referendum be political in nature. in New York as 'pretty dramatic'.

Date structure of tasks and subtasks
I had been working on the date constraints bug: https:/
I was confused at one point:
we have a task structure
A (some due date)
-B (no due date).
Now as discussed, my code did not update the due date of B when due date of A was updated. But, when we call get_due_date for B. It would return the due date of A as it returns the most urgent due date of it's parents. As a result, the due date of B will not be refreshed in the task browser after updation of due date of A.
But, then when we update some attribute of B, Bs due date will be updated to that of A.
So, my question: should get_due_date return the most urgent due date of all it's parents. If yes then why not update the due date of the child when due date of the parent is updated? Because, I feel it is a bit odd that get_due_date would return something else and actual due date would be something else.

My opinion is that due date of child should be updated. Due date should be propagated both ways (up and down), and if not set, it should be set. On the other side, start date should not be propagated or set. (A child can have any start date regardless it parent.) The only thing to care about is that start_date <= due_date.
Can you help with this problem?

1 Investigation of an Approach in Drug Delivery: Orally Fast Disintegrating Tablets
Authors: Tansel Comoglu
Abstract:Orally fast disintegrating tablets (FDTs or ODTs) have become popular during the last decade, and manufacturing of ODTs is getting a rapidly growing area in the pharmaceutical industry. The concept of ODTs has emerged from the desire to provide patients with more conventional means of taking their medication. Drugs, that have satisfactory absorption from the oral mucosa or aimed for immediate therapeutic activity can be formulated in ODTs. After placing the ODT into the mouth, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth usullay less than a minute, in the absence of additional water. Even though the ODT technology has taken an important path, as proved by a large group of commercial products on the drug market, there are so many problems to be solved in ODT formulations such as; formulation of hydrophobic drugs is stil a challenge, especially when the amount of drug is high. As these tablets dissolve or disintegrate in the mouth without the need of additional water, taste masking of active ingredients becomes essential in these systems because the drug is entirely released in the mouth. In ODT technology, coping with the taste of drugs is still a challenge. Resins or sweeteners or other techniques are also used in the formulation to aid taste-masking of the API. Another important factor to consider is whether they can be manufactured using conventional equipment and processes, as this will have a positive influence on manufacturing costs. Some products, however, may require a more costly, special unitdose packaging if the dosage form is fragile. In this overview, benefits, various formulation technologies, clinical studies and some future research trends of ODTs will be discussed.

Many current Alzheimer's medications are designed to slow the progress of symptoms. However, every year, researchers learn more and more about the underlying mechanisms that lead to Alzheimer's development. Treatments recently developed in clinical trial research are designed to target particular mechanisms of the disease process.
Targeting Plaques
Solanezumab is a substance known as a monoclonal antibody. The medication mimics the body's own antibodies and is thought to be useful in preventing the plaques formed by beta-amyloid proteins, which tangle and destroy neuron function. Although early trials demonstrated positive results, the medication hasn't proven to be helpful in people with Alzheimer's who have moderate to severe forms of the disease. Studies are currently underway to determine effectiveness during the early stages of the disorder.
In recent years, scientists discovered a new protein known as Fyn that interacts with beta-amyloid proteins. When activated, Fyn destroys the synapse pathways between neurons. Research involving the cancer formulation saracatinib is underway. Studies indicate the medication inhibits Fyn, which enables synapses to regain normal function. Clinical trials involving people with Alzheimer's are currently in progress.
If your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, help is just a phone call away. Certain age-related conditions can make it more challenging for seniors to age in place safely and comfortably, but Bethlehem 24-hour care experts are available around the clock to help seniors manage their health. Whether your loved one is living with dementia or is recovering from a stroke, you can trust the professional live-in caregivers from Home Care Assistance to enhance his or her quality of life.
Preventing Protein Entanglement
Tau proteins are another problem that contributes to Alzheimer's development. The proteins congregate and stick together while adhered to neurons. Thus, the neurons become tangled and the pathways between them become destroyed. Researchers are currently studying the effects of tau aggregation inhibitors and vaccines to prevent the harmful action.
CBD Oil
Cannabidiol, which is often referred to as CBD, interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in the body to produce various health benefits. However, the plant-based derivative doesn't cause intoxicating effects. In 2017, a group of French scientists learned CBD oil effectively reduced the cellular inflammation and oxidative stress associated with the presence of abundant beta-amyloid proteins in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Their findings were published in an article in Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica. A 2017 study performed by a group of researchers from Western Sydney University demonstrated CBD oil prevented neuron destruction and promoted neuron and synapse growth in laboratory animals afflicted with Alzheimer's-like symptoms.
Caring for a senior loved one can be challenging for families who don't have expertise or professional training in home care, but this challenge doesn't have to be faced alone. Family caregivers can turn to Bethlehem Home Care Assistance for the help they need. We provide high-quality live-in and respite care as well as comprehensive Alzheimer's, dementia, stroke, and Parkinson's care.
Heart-Brain Connection
Increasing evidence suggests cognitive health correlates with cardiovascular health. Diabetes, heart disease, elevated cholesterol levels, hypertension, and strokes have been shown to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's. In light of the connection, researchers are in the process of determining if keeping the cardiovascular system healthy also promotes brain health. Evidence suggests living a healthier lifestyle by eating a heart-healthy diet and getting regular exercise may play a major role in preventing Alzheimer's. Blood pressure medications and other formulations used to treat cardiovascular disorders may also reduce the risk of cognitive impairment.
Hormone Therapy
Estrogen-based hormone therapy has demonstrated neuroprotective qualities when given to women entering menopause who also have a high risk of developing Alzheimer's. Studies are in progress to determine the relationship between the hormone and cognitive function.
There are many reasons seniors might need assistance at home. Some may require regular mental stimulation due to an Alzheimer's diagnosis, while others might only need part-time assistance with exercise and basic household tasks. Home Care Assistance is a leading senior care provider. Families rely on our expertly trained caregivers to help their senior loved ones maintain a high quality of life. If your loved one needs assistance with the challenges of aging, reach out to one of our knowledgeable, compassionate Care Managers today at 484-350-3874.

Hide Your Smiling FacesReviewed By Jay Seaver
Posted 03/29/14 16:18:02
(Worth A Look)
Dead things appear early on in "Hide Your Smiling Faces", as three kids poking around an abandoned building find a dead bird and do not exactly treat it with respect. It's a good starting point for writer/director Daniel Patrick Carbone's first feature, a fine look at rural kids confronting mortality.Those three kids are Eric (Nathan Varnson), his younger brother Tommy (Ryan Jones), and Tommy's best friend Ian (Ivan Tomic). It's summer vacation, they're old enough not to need a whole lot of parental supervision, although you can argue whether that's a good or bad thing when Ian shows the brothers his father's pistol. The man chases Tommy and Eric away, and a few days later, Eric and his friend Tristan (Thomas Cruz) find Ian's body.
This could be the start of a mystery story, and maybe something like that is going on behind the scenes, but Carbone keeps the focus clearly on the kids' perspective, so if there's talk of an investigation, it's not filtering down to that level. Instead, the fact of Ian's absence takes the focus rather than the circumstances, and in some ways it seems to be affecting Eric more than Tommy. Part of that may just be the fact that Eric has Tristan to play off, and a story that goes in an interesting direction there. For the most part, summer goes on, but there's a pall, and added significance to everything from learning to swim to the mean neighbor threatening their dog.
It is, in many ways, familiar material; the first scene of kids handling a gun is certainly able to set some nerves on edge even though it's the sort of sequence that has appeared in a great many movies. Carbone does a nice job with it, though. If the individual pieces are oft-used, they are used because there's something about them that work, and Carbone tends to stage them without any particular twists. There's still tension to them, in large part because the goal does not seem to be either an iconic example of these scenes or particular subversion. There's also an enjoyable, non-forced timelessness about the film, with neither the way kids speak or the rhythms of the film being self-consciously modern nor deliberate throwbacks to other times.
The mostly-young cast does well in presenting these kids. Nathan Varnson doesn't make a very strong impression initially, but as the film goes on, his frustration comes closer to the surface, and it's interesting to watch, as it's more often confused than dangerous. Ryan Jones is just as good as Tommy, seldom quite as demonstrative as Varnson's Eric but doing well to get his feelings onto his face and into the tone of his voice. They work well with each other, and also with Thomas Cruz and Ivan Tomic in somewhat smaller but interesting roles. Christina Starbuck and Chris Kies don't get a whole lot of time as Tommy's & Eric's parents, though they're fine, while Colm O'Leary makes the moments when Ian's father appears suitably memorable and threatening.
It's also a strikingly good-looking film; either Carbone and company found some fantastic locations or built the screenplay around the bridge where many scenes take place (and which overlooks many more). Its disused but covered with moss on the outside and graffiti within, making it represent both decay and rebirth, something that is reflected throughout the movie, where the run-down is often something the young characters can make use of. Carbone doesn't overplay his hand, though, either with the symbolism or the scale of the story: Hide Your Smiling Faces clocks in at a lean eighty minutes, just enough time to tell these kids' story without a framing sequence, adult subplot, or other distraction.Certainly, it's a story that many in the audience will have seen before, but it's one of the better-looking renditions, and the separation from adult perspectives works better than it often does. Maybe it will eventually get lost in the large population of coming-of-age stories out there, or maybe it will stand out, if only for being a promising start for Carbone, Varnson, and/or Jones.

James Martin has built a very successful career as a TV chef, but now fans are urging him to become an gardening expert following a recent This Morning appearance.
While James is very used to the cameras, he confessed he was 'nervous' ahead of a recent appearance on This Morning as he swapped cooking for gardening.
'Wow, thanks for all the amazing messages from today's gardening slot on This Morning. To be honest I was nervous doing it, felt like the first time on tv cooking! Enjoy home grown', he wrote alongside pictures of his gorgeous garden following the new segment.
His gardening expertise was very well-received by viewers, who even urged James to branch out and release a book and a TV show combining his cooking and gardening skills.
One wrote, 'So jealous of your beautiful garden and greenhouse. Are you self sufficient? Looks like with the abundance of fabulous fruit and veg. You should do more gardening slots. You know your stuff. Watch out titchmarsh.'
'James your garden is looking amazing! I've been watching you on the food channel as well, it's when you started on your garden, shows how far and how hard you have worked on it! You should be very proud of it!', another said.
A third added, 'Have you ever thought about doing a garden book which has recipes'; while a fourth wrote, 'Thanks James.. interesting information! I can see a new tv series on its way😎👏'.
Like many Brits up and down the country, James has been exploring his gardening abilities during lockdown.
Last month, he shared a before and after of the vegetables and herbs he had plant just a few weeks before, in the greenhouse on his garden.
James has also been busy helping his community during the pandemic, by making huge batches of fresh pasta and giving them away to people in his village.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, he revealed he cooked 3,000 bags of pasta and gave them to people in his village.
Latest Stories
"I grabbed a big pasta machine, we've got this big industrial pasta machine, brought it back to my house and because we've got a bakery I grabbed whatever flour I could, whatever eggs I could, whatever semolina flour I could and rather than just deliver 25 kilo bags of flour, I thought I'd transform it into stuff", he said.
We look forward to seeing more of James' gardening skills very soon!

"Strangers from Hell" continues to top the list of major topics and influence.
The Saturday 10:30 PM drama "Strangers from Hell" is about a young man from the countryside who goes up to Seoul and meets people in the gosiwon he's residing at. It's the second project of 'Dramatic Cinema', a special collaboration of movie and drama production values only available on OCN. The drama was a big issue for the casting of Im Si-wan and Lee Dong-wook.
First, the high demand for "Strangers from Hell" appeared in the VOD (Video on Demand) sales. On the first week of launching (8.26 ~ 9.1), VOD sales ranked first place. On the first week of September, it ranked 253.9 points on the CPI (Contents Power Index) and proved its overwhelming popularity and influence by topping the list.
In addition, every weekend when the drama goes on air, real-time search explodes with drama-related search words and drama talk exceeding 100,000 in just four episodes. Netizens are going crazy, too. The number of hits for "Strangers from Hell" related videos on SMR + YouTube + SNS go over 5,255,152 (7/15 ~ 9/1), and this is practically the highest ranking drama on OCN since 2018.
The reasons why "Strangers from Hell" is so popular with viewers and in terms of major topics and influence are Jeong I-do-I, the writer who embodies the original webtoon's story and masterfully adapts it into this dramatic cinema project, Lee Chang-hee, the director who leads the work with a dense production, and the actors who show their best performance at every moment.
The fifth episode of "Strangers from Hell" can be seen on the 21st at 10:30PM.
"Strangers from Hell" is directed by Lee Chang-hee, written by Jeong I-do-I, and features Im Si-wan, Lee Dong-wook, Cha Rae-hyung, Kim Han-jong, Oh Hye-won, Park Ji-han. Broadcasting information in Korea: 2019/08/31~Now airing, Sat, Sun 22:30 on OCN.

Lisa Taddeo chronicles the desires of "Three Women" – lands Showtime series
Sex. People may not discuss it in public, but practically everyone, regardless of age, thinks about it and likes to read about it. Now, thanks to the herculean efforts of journalist Lisa Taddeo, we have Three Women, a new book that explores the sex lives and passions of three very different women. It has been described as the deepest nonfiction portrait of desire ever written and one of the most anticipated books of the year.
Taddeo is an award-winning journalist whose short fiction has been awarded two Pushcart Prizes and has been published in New York magazine, Esquire, Playboy, McSweeney's, Granta, and The Sewanee Review, among others. A profile she wrote for New York magazine on Rachel Uchitel, the woman involved in the Tiger Woods sex scandal, brought her to the attention of Jofie Ferrari-Adler, a book editor.
"He wanted me to write a nonfiction book in the vein of Gay Talese's Thy Neighbor's Wife. When I agreed to do it, I had no idea it would take over my life." Men's desires have always come first, but Taddeo's book is an assertion of women's desires and how they relate to a society that men have always dominated. Men's desires seem to be much clearer: Men do not merely want. Men need.
"Over the course of the eight years it took to write this book, I drove across country six times. I spent thousands of hours with the women in this book—in person, on the phone, by text message, and email. I moved to the towns where they lived and settled in as a resident so I could better understand their day-to-day lives.
"I talked to about 25 men and women before narrowing it down to the final three. Originally I was going to include men. I posted signs explaining what I was looking for: Stories about desire, unrequited love, something that had a beginning, middle, and an end. I was looking for people with a real depth of emotion."
In the end Taddeo decided to focus on women, since she felt the men were more evasive with their responses. The book tells the stories of Maggie, Lina, and Sloane. Maggie is a young adult from North Dakota, bearing the dreadful consequences of having had a teenage affair with her high school teacher. Lina, from Indiana, is a neglected housewife with a life of prosaic unhappiness, whose unrealized passion finally finds an outlet when an old flame reappears. Sloane is a glamorous restaurateur in Rhode Island whose chef husband enjoys watching her have sex with other people. Each has encountered desire in an unremarkable but life-shattering way. Their narratives are presented in alternating chapters.
"Their stories were all very deep and raw," says Taddeo. "These women let me into their lives for a period of time; they had this depth of emotion and the stories unfolded in front of my eyes."
When the research was over Taddeo decided it was time to find a permanent place to live with her husband and young daughter. "I was tired of moving around," Taddeo says. "We were living in Boston, where I was finishing up the book and decided to get my MFA in fiction at Boston University. We began to think about where we might settle and we toured Litchfield County, where my husband had gone to boarding school. It was quiet and serene and just the kind of place where I wanted to be."
Published in July, Three Women is an instant success, landing at number one on the New York Times bestseller list, as well as countless others. It has earned endorsements from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Elizabeth Gilbert. And, after a lively bidding war, Showtime is creating an adaptation of the book with a series commitment.
Taddeo is now finishing up her first novel, which will be published next summer. Like many authors, she is loath to talk about the book, "The reader needs to discover them and not have them described by me."

Bedford, Mass. Here he found employment and

" Lady of the Lake," and there came across the name
of Douglass, which he for the first time assumed.
He attended church; was surprised to see the col¬

of the first money he earned in New Bedford was
invested in a subscription to The Liberator. He
was not long in coming to the front. His story of
escape from slavery was told in the various

before an anti-slavery convention at Nantucket. A
tremendous crowd was present, and the wildest
enthusiasm prevailed. Mr. William Lloyd Garri¬

for the abolition of slavery. Mr Douglass' career
thus begun, continued ; he spoke often and mightily
for the cause of freedom. He became the leading
orator of the time, and his presence was sufficient
to draw a crowd in the bitterest pro-slavery com¬

As an ambitious graduate from an elite university, Kyoko Fukushima was aiming for the top when she got a job at one of Japan's big trading houses — often working late into the night alongside her male colleagues. Ten years and two kids later, she found her responsibilities downgraded to paper shuffling, so she resigned.
Now there's growing pressure on Japan's corporations to stop pushing working mothers like her to the sidelines and instead help them develop their careers. A new law that came into effect April 1 lays bare just how hard a task lies ahead. It requires large employers to publish statistics on their numbers of female employees and managers, along with plans for promoting them, complete with targets and time frames.
For Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who's faced with a shrinking labor force and is opposed to a large influx of immigrant workers, keeping women at work is an economic imperative. While the number of women in employment has risen since he took office, many hold part-time and contract positions. He's set to announce a new package of family policies in May, but his previously announced target of having 30 percent of managers in all sectors be women by 2020 remains a long way off.
"I don't know of a single company where women are able to perform on the same basis as men," said Kimie Iwata, who worked as a senior bureaucrat and as an executive at cosmetics company Shiseido Co. before taking up her current position heading the Japan Institute for Women's Empowerment & Diversity Management. "I look at all sorts of companies, and I can say that with confidence about Japan."
About 9.2 percent of managers in the private sector were women as of 2014, according to a December report by the government's Gender Equality Bureau. In the U.S., women make up 25 percent of senior managers, according to a report last year by the Center for American Progress. Recognizing that reaching the 30 percent target by 2020 is unlikely, the Japanese government recently revised downward its goal to 15 percent for the private sector and 12 percent for the central government.
Iwata says companies need to drastically improve efficiency in order to help women balance work with family: hold shorter meetings, allow work from home and flexible hours, and rethink the system of the largest companies transferring employees around the country or overseas every few years, she said.
Encouraging women into leadership positions is proving difficult, even for companies seen as enlightened in terms of family policies. Shiseido, whose workforce is 83 percent female, was showered with public criticism after changing direction in 2014 to have beauty consultants with small children work their share of late and weekend shifts. These are the busiest and most profitable times for the company's makeup counters in stores.
A television program on the changes broadcast last year set off what became known as the "Shiseido shock," with many on social media criticizing what they saw as a backward step for working women and some even vowing to stop buying the company's products.
The head of Shiseido's human resources department, Yuki Honda, who made her own way up the ladder while raising two children, said women's careers depend on their own ability to put in effort to meet the company's needs. She added that the company's shift in policy was to encourage female employees to seek promotion opportunities.
"We had to tell them that being away from the sales floor at the busiest times would be negative for their careers," Honda said.
Shiseido is planning to increase the percentage of female managers to 30 percent this year from 27.2 percent last year, she said.
By contrast, women at automaker Honda Motor Co. make up just 7 percent of the workforce and 0.7 percent of management — figures the company has said it struggles to increase, partly because of a shortage of women in science and engineering. It's aiming to triple the number of female managers by 2020.
"The women I speak to really value their careers and want to get ahead," said Mutsuko Kogo, general manager for diversity and inclusion at Honda. "But there is a tendency to try to lighten their burden out of kindness. It's an unconscious bias."
While the government and corporations seek to encourage women in their careers, surveys indicate that many still hope to opt out of the labor force altogether.
Almost 70 percent of working women who responded to a Sony Life Insurance Co. survey published in March said there were many obstacles to women's careers, and 31 percent said they would rather be full-time housewives. That attitude may be most common among women who feel their jobs offer few opportunities for advancement.
Yoshie Saito, a 37-year-old hospital clerk having a drink recently in a singles bar in the Ginza district of Tokyo, said she didn't want to work harder because she didn't think it would bring her any financial benefit.
"I want to get married soon," she said, citing unease about surviving on her low income as one of the reasons. "I'm not the career type."
Former bureaucrat Iwata, also a mother of two, said aiming to rely on a man is unrealistic. "Young women should stop dreaming," she said. "You can't plan to be a full-time housewife these days. Now it's only a tiny minority of people who marry someone rich enough to allow them to choose that path, and you don't know when they might lose their job or fall ill. It's too much of a risk."
Now out of the labor force for 10 years, 41-year-old Fukushima, who asked that her former employer not be identified, said she found her passion for work cooling after she had children. She expressed doubt as to whether the new law on the promotion of women will help working mothers, given other problems, like Japan's shortage of preschool care.
"Even if women decide to work, the fact is they have nowhere to leave their kids, so I am doubtful whether this law will truly be effective," she said. "I have many friends who are in trouble because they can't find day care."

Our minds can play terrible tricks on us. Our minds really go into overdrive when we are faced with grief. Our thoughts can make us feel as though we are all alone, they can cause us to withdraw ourselves from other and they can even cause us to stop choosing to live life to it's fullest.
After losing someone close to you it is easy to feel as though you can't go on. You of course struggle with how you are supposed to move forward and move onward. The problem is that if we aren't careful we can actually allow our thoughts to imprison us and cause us to stop making steps to heal.
This week I was reminded of this. I will confess that I struggle with writing here since my friend and her family's fatal accident. Instead, I found myself feeling so undeserving of the life that I have. Of the babies that I get to love on every single day, of the quiet moments I get to steal in the mornings while enjoying the sun coming up and being able to serve my family while still being blessed with this ministry.
Yet, this is my story. I am still here on this Earth to continue to make a difference by those that I come in contact with, by the four precious little beings that are in my care, and by those who stop by here on accident to read blog posts or just stop in to get the free resources…… My story still continues. Though my friend, mentor, and sister-in-Christ is finished with her walk her on Earth I am still not finished.
You see I was struggling with my mindset. Just as anyone who is going through the grieving process is. The problem with this is that when we allow our mind to tell us that we aren't good enough or that we simply can't go on that we hinder ourselves from healing.
Instead, We Need To:
- Loose ourselves in God's Word: God's Word will help to remind us who we are to Him. We are cherished, we are loved and we are each important to God.
- Seek out others: Instead of locking ourselves up in our homes to be alone with our thoughts we need to surround ourselves with other Christians and loved ones.
- Remember that our lives on Earth were never meant to be easy: God works in our lives through the good and the hard times. Each of which helps mold us and grow us into the individuals that He needs us to be to reach others for Him.
Our mindset can either help us or hinder us in our moments of grief. It is up to us to decide.
Until Next Time Just Keep Soaring 4 Him,
I would like to invite you to my Facebook group Christian Homemakers in Training where we dive into homemaking, motherhood, marriage and group devotions. After all, we all need a safe place to grow together, right?
