Home Loan Modifications And Your Credit ScoreWritten by cdloanmod
A Home Loan Modification can help you stop foreclosure and stay in your home. But if you're like most homeowners, you're probably wondering how it will affect your credit
, and whether in a good or bad way.
Unfortunately, there's no single answer—it all depends on how far behind you are and the kind of mortgage loan modification you'll be granted.
Best-case scenarios:-
Technically, since you're not borrowing any money, a home loan modification won't hurt your credit score. If you're paying less in interest, you have a smaller debt burden. And since most lenders prefer an interest rate reduction, there's a pretty good chance that a Home loan modification will improve your credit score.
The implications are even better if your lender forgives part of the principal, although this is less common. If they write off $50,000 from your loan amount, it will show up on your report as a smaller loan, which can increase your credit score.
The lender factor:-
Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen that way. It also depends on how your lender reports the home loan modification to the credit bureaus. Many of them will consider it paid for less than the original amount owed, which will count against your score. If you're already in foreclosure, the impact on your credit can be substantial. Of course, compared to a short sale or a foreclosure, a Mortgage Loan Modification is still the best way to maintain your credit standing.
Tax implications:-
One of the early problems with Loan modification is that the amount forgiven is usually taxable. That means if your debt is reduced by $50,000, the IRS views it as income and imposes the corresponding tax. This can catch homeowners off guard during tax season, as many of them don't know the tax implications at the time of the modification.
To avoid such incidents, the IRS announced in 2007 that Loan modification would no longer be classified as "prohibited transactions." This applied to all loans originated from January 2004 to July 2007, the peak of the sub-prime boom, and those due to adjust from January 2009 to July 2012. If your mortgage falls under these categories, you won't have to file a 1099 declaring the change as taxable.
A loan modification is much like going to court: you can save your money and get a court-appointed lawyer, or you can invest in professional representation and get the best mortgage assistance. Your loss mitigation won't happen overnight, but if with a capable Loan Modification Attorney, you can be sure you're in good hands.

Wine Bottling
Once your wine is fermented, stabilized, and clear it's time to bottle it! Danny's carries a number of transferring siphons and attachments to make this process easy and efficient.
Racking Canes/J-Tubes – can transfer wine off the sediment without mixing. If paired with simple hosing you will have to suck on one to get it started. Available in small and large sizes. Holder clamp to avoid mixing of sediment available. Can be paired with a bottle filler attachment. Bottle filler attachment reduces the chance of spillage. To use the bottle filler with a J-Tube you must start the siphon first by sucking, then kink the hose and add the attachment.
Auto-Siphon – like a J tube it can transfer wine off the sediment without mixing. It can be easily pumped to start and creates a more reliable vacuum. Available in mini, standard, and large sizes. Requires hosing. Holder clamp to avoid mixing of sediment available. Can be paired with a bottle filler attachment. Bottle filler attachment reduces the chance of spillage and evens out the flow of wine. This means that even a large Auto-Siphon can be used for small bottles. To use the bottle filler simply attach at the end of the siphon and then pump while the filler is pressed down at the bottom of a bottle to start.
Plastic food grade tubing - available in a variety of sizes – cut to your specifications. Can be used with J-Tubes and Auto-Siphons or to replace parts on kegs and a variety of other uses.

Pistons deal with Lakers better positions them to fill needs for 2020 and beyond
Andrew D. Bernstein/Getty Images
AUBURN HILLS – Would the Pistons have pulled the trigger on the trade of Reggie Bullock if instead of being 24-29 at the moment of Thursday's trade deadline they were 29-24? Instead of clawing for the eighth playoff spot, as they are, they'd be clawing for home-court advantage in the first round.
So would they have still gone ahead and traded their best 3-point shooter when they were virtually assured a playoff spot and headed for a first-round matchup that Las Vegas oddsmakers wouldn't consider a mismatch?
Yeah, probably not.
Dealing Bullock for a rookie – even a rookie who has a chance to grow into the type of 3-point weapon Bullock eventually became – and a future No. 2 pick doesn't mean the Pistons are punting this season, but there's no way to argue it makes them more likely to mount a playoff charge over the season's final 29 games.
Bullock was averaging 12.1 points for a team that's struggled to generate consistent offense and shooting 39 percent from the 3-point arc for a team that's been mired in last place in 3-point shooting for much of the season.
But injuries and missed opportunities to stack wins together boxed in the Pistons. Their schedule the rest of the season is more forgiving, though they'll play 16 of their final 29 on the road. It's still going to be tough enough to scratch out a playoff spot, let alone a more favorable berth than the No. 7 or 8 seed that would lengthen their odds of a first-round upset.
So to understand the deal, you first must appreciate the dark corner Ed Stefanski and his front office inherited. The Pistons are over the salary cap – not only this season, but next as it stands now – and only have three players on rookie contracts as part of their rotation: Stanley Johnson, Luke Kennard and rookie Bruce Brown. Johnson's rookie contract falls off at season's end, making him a restricted free agent.
Retaining Bullock in free agency was going to be tough to impossible in July, especially if the market for him gets to eight figures – not at all a stretch given the quest for 3-and-D wings who can shoot at elite levels, as Bullock did last season.
So the Pistons cashed him in for a prospect the front office liked in Svi Mykhailiuk, a player who – at 6-foot-8 and 21 years old – could mature into exactly the type of player Bullock became since coming from Phoenix 3½ years ago. Mykhailiuk arrived at Kansas highly acclaimed but only 17 years old from Ukraine and grew into an elite college shooter. Over 136 college games, he hit 41 percent from the 3-point line and 44 percent as a senior.
Mykhailiuk went nine spots after Khyri Thomas last June, five spots after Brown. It's early, but it looks like the Pistons got two keepers from Stefanski's first draft. It's fair to guess they had Mykhailiuk ranked similarly, based on this trade, and you can bet the Pistons are eager to spend an off-season honing his skills. Mykhailiuk opened eyes at Summer League last July, flashing many of the skills that make Kennard more than just a spot-up shooter.
By next season, the Pistons could have four players on rookie contracts eating up many of the 96 minutes available at the two wing spots: Kennard, Brown, Thomas and Mykhailuk.
They'll have the mid-level exception at their disposal and a first-round draft pick with their biggest need likely coming at point guard. Reggie Jackson has appeared to turn the corner over the past few weeks, averaging 19.0 points, 6.3 assists and less than a turnover per game while shooting .475 overall and .408 from the 3-point arc over seven games.
Getting a full season of that guy transforms the Pistons from a bottom-10 offense to at least league average and potentially top 10. They'll still need a backup point guard – Ish Smith is a pending free agent – and Dwane Casey's fondness for multiple ballhandlers likely will prioritize point guard even with Jackson at full stride.
So Stefanski needed to find cost-effective options for his depth chart on the wings. He saw this day coming last June when he traded two future second-rounders for Thomas and nabbed Brown, too. Adding Mykhailiuk further restocks the wings, giving the Pistons three players under control for at least two more seasons.
Don't discount the value of the second-round pick included in the deal, either – or the $2.5 million trade exception the Pistons acquired.
The Pistons have their second-rounder in 2019 but had relinquished second-rounders in 2020, '21 and '22. Having the 2021 pick in their back pocket could come in handy at the 2020 or '21 trade deadline when their cap sheet will have been smoothed out and the Pistons are back in play as potential buyers to augment a playoff drive. As for the trade exception, the Pistons have a year to use it – and as they push themselves farther under the tax line, the more likely it becomes that they put it to use.
In the meantime, dealing Bullock opens 30 minutes a game for Kennard, Thomas, Brown, Langston Galloway, Glenn Robinson III – and Mykhailiuk – to fight over. Jackson's recent uptick makes him the complementary scorer to play off of Griffin the Pistons needed, easing the absence of Bullock's scoring, and lessens the burden on those who'll replace him.
A playoff spot wasn't assured by hanging on to Bullock and isn't ruled out by dealing him. The biggest impact of trading him will be felt next season, the possibilities for which were enhanced by this trade.

Herbal Ashwagandha Inhibits The Onset of Glioblastoma
By Kyle J. Norton
Primary glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers that begins within the brain. Cancer may arise as a Grade IV tumor with no evidence.
According to the statistic, the median survival time of primary glioblastoma is approximately 3 months without medical treatment. Glioblastomas represent about 15% of all primary brain tumors.
Conventionally, radiation and chemotherapy are the most common forms of treatment for patients with glioblastoma particularly, in a tumor that cannot be removed with surgery.
The causes of glioblastoma are not identified. However, the increased in age and genetic preposition are the 2 most common risk factors found in patients with the disease.
And, "These germline abnormalities are manifested as either gene polymorphisms or hemizygous mutations of key regulatory genes that are involved either in DNA repair or in apoptosis".
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belongings to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of gliomas, the type of primary brain tumor in adults, researchers examined the effects of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) on neuronal cell lines.
In vitro, ashwagandha water extract (ASH-WEX) showed a strong cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase by activating multiple pro-apoptotic pathways associated with genes in the suppression of cells progression and proliferation, such as cyclin D1, bcl-xl, and p-Akt.
Furthermore, the expression of the polysialylated form of neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) and matrix metalloproteinases that promote neural plasticity and tumor malignancy was also inhibited by the administration of the extract.
Moreover, in vivo, ASH-WEX also suppressed the tumor-promoting proteins such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and exerted the aforementioned effects in the rat model of orthotopic glioma allograft.
Additionally, the extract not only inhibited the reduction in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and upregulation of mortalin associated with cancer malignancy and poor prognosis but also blocked neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) expression in tumor-bearing tissue involved cancer cell proliferation, motility, and migration.

Attracting immigrants and other minority groups to sustainable agriculture programs is the topic of a new online resource from Delaware State University
Posted: August 17, 2014
Poster: A Practical Approach to Attracting Immigrants and Other Minority Groups to Sustainable Agricultural Programs on the Delmarva Peninsula
Author: Andy Wetherill, Delaware State University, Cooperative Extension Programs
Abstract: Attracting immigrants and other minority producers to sustainable agricultural programs is one of the most challenging tasks faced by extension professionals. However, regular communication between extension professionals and minority communities may reveal great insight into how to reach and engage this this emerging clientele.
From 2008 to 2012, the Delaware State University Small Farms Program stepped up efforts to expand economic opportunity to the minority and immigrant communities in Delaware. The goal was to bring socially disadvantaged groups to the farm table through a myriad of extension events. The objective was to increase the number of minorities who are growing and marketing agri-business products. Our experience in working with minority communities has taught us that communicating and mingling with prospective participants at social events, and locating extension activities in close proximity to their neighborhoods has resulted in increased target audience participation in extension events. It allowed us to develop better working relationships with them. In the early years, it was more beneficial to work with them face to face than via indirect contacts.
Over the past two years, Delaware State University has seen an increase in agricultural activity among minority groups, resulting in increased economic activity within the state.

Do you experience anxiety or have panic attacks related to the fear of vomiting or seeing/hearing someone vomit? This is called emetophobia and it is much more common than you think. One study found that 6% of women and 1% of men suffer from a specific phobia of vomiting. This means that 23 MILLION people in the United States alone have a fear of vomiting. Why have you never heard of it? Because there is so much shame and embarrassment associated with it that emetophobics keep it hidden from everyone and suffer in silence.
My waitlist for Skype sessions is, as of June 2020, about 1-3 months long, or I may be able to fit you in immediately when I get cancellations.
I have no openings for children or adolescents at this time.
Contact me to be placed on my list here.
My name is Anna Christie, and I also had a very severe phobia of vomiting for years. I don't like to use the word "cure" because emetophobia is not a disease. But I am now fully recovered through very conventional counselling (no quick-fix scams). So I now enjoy a completely anxiety-free life, and you can too. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (BCACC #6269) with a history of severe emetophobia, I offer a CBT program online via Skype, professional consults, teaching and guest speaking.

The day was long. The house was a mess. The needs were many. By the time I put them all to bed, I was unfathomably tired. Launching into the dishes, I realized that all I had eaten for dinner was a slice of melon, two pizza crusts and a random piece of candy that I found in a tupperware (don't ask). It's quite possible that I had stuffed other things into my mouth while moving at the speed of light around my kitchen but I couldn't remember.
I was about to smear some peanut butter (that was already out on the counter) onto a piece of bread and eat it while cleaning when, for some reason, I found myself chopping a random piece of garlic. I chopped a few more. Then I browned it in a pan with some olive oil and the smell of it was wonderful and soothing. Inspired, I cut up a few ripe tomatoes from my garden and put that in along with some basil and a half an onion. I rummaged around my freezer and found some frozen shrimp. I pulled out some cold pasta (some in the shape of wagon wheels and some in the shape of Scooby Doo) from the fridge and realized that I was actually cooking a meal for me; yes, just for me. Well, while we're at it, let's squeeze in some lemon juice, and a few spoonfuls of capers. I finished it off with salt, fresh ground pepper and some shredded parmesan.
Then, I did something strange and unusual. I poured a glass of blood orange soda and sat down at my dining table with my pasta and I ate it. I did not multi-task for those 10 minutes. I did not read the paper. I did not check my email. I did not contemplate my to-do list. I let the dirty dishes and Joshua's unfilled pill box just sit in my kitchen while I enjoyed the taste of my dinner. And while I just sat and ate this fabulous thing that I had cooked FOR MYSELF, I felt my own sense of value and self respect increase in my own soul.

THE Sewell Centre Gallery, set in the grounds of an independent boarding school for boys – Radley College – continues to reassert its position as a forum for artistic debate.
This time it tackles the "That's not art!" public cry that is heard almost as loudly now in response to some contemporary art as it was half a century ago.
The Sewell Centre Gallery has mounted an art exhibition that reflects upon a pivotal Op-Art show that took place in the prestigious MOMA New York over 50 years ago, The Responsive Eye.
The Sewell Centre Gallery's exhibition, The Responsive Eye Revisited, features 22 works of art several of which are by artists who exhibited in the 1965 MOMA exhibition.
This exhibition opened on Saturday and continues until February 11 and poses an exciting and rare opportunity to see works by artists such as Bridget Riley, Antonio Asis, Francois Morelett, Peter Sedgley, and Alberto Biasi amongst others.
Op-Art, or optical art, was a term coined by Time Magazine in in 1964 to describe a new, abstract, movement in contemporary art that uses optical illusions to give the viewer the impression of movement or hidden images. American artist, art historian and curator William C Seitz described Op-Art works in the catalogue that accompanied the 1965 MOMA exhibition as such, "These works exist less as objects to be examined than as generators of perceptual responses in the eye and mind of the viewer."
Despite attracting 180,000 visitors, The Responsive Eye exhibition was met with palpable ambivalence half a century ago; heralded as "one of the most exciting artistic events in a decade", and simultaneously dismissed as "fascinating as a technique, but...not art at all."
Regardless of one's stance, the exhibition irrefutably succeeded in establishing Op-Art's place in the canon of 20th-century avant-garde art movements by exploring a new way of seeing that depends on the perception and behaviour of the eye of the spectator; in doing so developing an approach to looking and to art practice that continues to resonate today.
The exhibition in Radley explores ways in which ground-breaking Op-Art artists have influenced, and continue to influence, young artists. In doing so, the exhibition exemplifies a shared, and seemingly perpetual, fascination with formal simplicity and visual dynamism.
Thea Wiltshire, an MA History of Art student familiar with the works in the exhibition, said: "In a world of increasing empiricism, is our 21st century gaze too accustomed to the trickery of CGI or the acrobatics of 3D? This show proves otherwise, tapping into such fundamental questions as what constitutes reality: the concrete, or our perception of it?
"As we gaze at these works we are forced to shift, duck, squint and re-examine what we can no longer be certain of, and thus we are encouraged to view other works with greater consideration."
The works in the exhibition come from a private collector who suggested the exhibition with the aim of exposing the students and the greater community to Op-Art, and to use art as a vehicle by which to stimulate debate and discourse.
It is the same collector who loaned works by Tracey Emin for an exhibition at the centre in 2015.
Amanda Jewell, the Sewell Centre Gallery curator said: "During the Tracey Emin show, we would find boys in the gallery, at their own will, looking at the work and debating it among themselves – asking the big questions about what art is today.
"The lender is hoping the same kind of discussions will arise from this exhibition as well." Jewell said the Sewell Centre Gallery programme of art exhibitions was integrated into the school's curriculum demonstrating the relevance of art in our everyday lives.
She added: "There were quite a lot of composers creating music around the same time as these works were being made, so we'll be working closely with our music department. Our science department will also be involved using the art on display to explore the relationship between the cornea and brain.
"Of course, our art students will be doing workshops, and we'd like to encourage local schools to use the exhibition too."
Through the Responsive Eye Revisited, the Sewell Centre Gallery aims to use the works on display to affirm how a viewer's experience, and the innovations of the 1960s, are still as vital and pertinent today as they were over half a century ago.
* The exhibition is at the Sewell Centre Gallery until February 11 open 10am-4pm. The exhibition is closed between Friday, January 22, and Sunday, January 24.

Sincerely, Dee
Thanks so much
See you soon

I am a dedicated teacher who has happily devoted more than 30 years to teaching and playing the game of golf professionally. My goal is to help you improve so that you can be the best that you can be. Below I have shared a bit about my journey so that we can get to know each other. I look forward to getting to know you too.
My career began in Florida where I learned to play golf to become a tournament player. I was a 23 year old athlete under the impression that I could learn this game in no time flat. It took me over four years - and hitting thousands of golf balls to become good enough to compete as a pro. Longer than I wanted but it was a good lesson and that is why to this day I can appreciate what goes into establishing a strong, dependable golf game. After a short but enjoyable period playing tournament golf I moved to New York to teach golf in the Metropolitan New York area. The many years I taught in the Met area provided great experiences for me. I now share my playing and teaching and knowledge with a wide and diverse following at my present location, Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course in Fairfield, CT.
Early in my career, I was privileged to have been around a lot of wonderful professional players and teachers. Jack Nicklaus lived just around the corner and often practiced at the course I worked at, Frenchman's Creek. We had a very large practice area where Jack could hit his driver without fear of losing his practice balls! His book, Golf My Way, was literally my bible when I was learning the game so you can imagine how fortunate I was to have been exposed to this in my developmental years.
Today, my energies go exclusively to teaching individuals how to play better golf. Most golf professionals are knowledgeable in the golf swing but a very good teacher needs to be able to communicate with his or her students effectively. My experience in learning and teaching has led me to fully appreciate this and I devote my energies to helping each student of mine to hear, see, feel, understand and ultimately experience what they desire most - a well struck golf shot. The ultimate goal, of course, is a better golf game, and my student and we work very hard towards that end!
Over the years I have taught hundreds of individuals about golf. Below are the golf clubs and courses where I've been privileged to work and play.

text: Hey guys! Can you take a quick look at why I cannot retrieve json from my getLocation function? Do I need to use another api? I added an insanity check with my getJoke() function and it works, which follows the same syntax as getLocation, but getLocation doesn't do anything. Is it just me or what could possibly be going on? Thanks. btw: it seems getJoke only works on an http connection!

A Guide To Hugging
Last Updated: 11/15/2017
A hug is a form of nonverbal communication and is the most common way to express love and affection. Everyone needs physical contact to survive, and hugging is an act of giving and receiving the support and love people need. The type of hug shared between two people can speak volumes about their relationship and can also strengthen bonds. Contrarily, a lack of hugs and other forms of physical affection can diminish the quality of romantic relationships and make some people experience increased emotional stress.
A hug is usually initiated by holding out one's arms and waiting for the other person's response. Don't feel rejected if someone declines a hug. People have many different reasons for declining a hug, therefore there is no need to take it personally. Use the following guide to discover common hugging techniques and etiquette, and learn the difference between the way males and females hug.
Hug Etiquette
There are some basic, unwritten rules about hugging that most people are intuitively aware of. When deciding to hug or not to hug a person, refer to the following rules of hug etiquette:
-Always respect another person's space.
-Ask permission before hugging someone, unless you are already on intimate terms with the person.
-Hug accordingly. Remember, there is a difference between a friendly hug and a passionate embrace. A hug between romantic partners is much different than a hug between two people who have just met.
-Never assume that it is okay to hug someone, even if you have hugged the person many times before.
-Practice good hygiene. Body odor can be offensive to the person you are embracing.
Types of Hugs
There are many different types of hugs that can be used in a plethora of situations. The type of hug two people partake in speaks volumes about their relationship. The duration of the hug, as well as the physical proximity of the two people involved determines the depth of the relationship. Below is a guide explaining common types of hugs, how to determine when it is appropriate to engage in each type of hug and instructions for performing each hug:
– Just as the name implies, this is a hug that you give to yourself. Simply wrap your arms around your torso and squeeze tightly.
– This is the most common and frequently shared hug – a simple handshake. When in doubt about the appropriateness of hugging another person, simply extend your hand for a handshake. The hand hug is also the most appropriate form of affection in the workplace, used to congratulate or greet someone.
'Hello' Hug
- This type of hug is usually employed when greeting a friend you have not seen for a while. This is the standard and most common type of non-intimate hug, usually lasting just a few seconds. This hug can be performed using one arm or two.
Bear Hug
– A bear hug is a strong, full-body hug. This type of hug usually takes place between family members, close friends or lovers. The hugger and huggee wrap their arms tightly around each other and may rock back and forth while embracing to emphasize affectionate feelings. The duration of the hug tends to last a little longer than the standard hug, as well.
– Cuddling involves hugging or embracing affectionately. The cuddle can also be described as a close, affectionate and prolonged embrace. Cuddling can involve stroking or caressing and is distinctive because of the duration of the hug. This type of hug typically occurs between children and adults, or lovers and can occur while sitting, standing or lying down.
– This type of hug is used to comfort someone close to the person. This hug is similar to the standard hug, however, it is distinctive because of its intensity and duration. This type of hug is usually performed by parents and close friends and is often used to console another person. The huggee may even rest his or her head on the shoulder or chest of the hugger for comfort.
Pound Hug
– This type of hug is almost always performed between two males and is a combination between a handshake and a one-armed hug. The two participants aggressively slap each other on the back while embracing, as if to emphasize their masculinity. This type of hug usually lasts about one second. A hug lasting longer than a second usually makes the participants feel uncomfortable.
A-Frame Hug
– This is where the two people sharing the embrace stand about a foot apart from each other and bend at the waist. Only the shoulders come into contact as the two people embrace. This type of hug is common between acquaintances or people who have just met.
Side-to-Side Hug
–Two people stand next to one another, embracing around the waist or shoulders. Friends and lovers engage in this type of hug.
Cheek-to-Cheek Hug
- This hug does not require the use of arms. Simply face the person you are hugging and press your cheek against his or her cheek briefly.
Reverse Hug
– With the reverse hug, the hugger approaches the huggee from behind and puts his/her arms around the huggee's waist. This type of hug is reserved for people who are in a romantic relationship.
Dancefloor Hug
- This type of hug is also usually reserved for romantic partners. The woman puts her arms around the man's neck while the man puts his arms around the woman's waist. This hug is referred to as the
dancefloor hug
because this hug is usually performed while dancing.
Wandering Hands Hug
– Typically performed between lovers, this hug involves exactly what the name suggests. The
wandering hands
hug is characterized by hands that roam around the back of the partner, gently caressing him or her for the duration of the hug.
Hugging Between Men and Women
Hugging between men and women can signify attraction or friendship, depending on the duration and type of hug. Women usually initiate hugging with men and are often expected to dictate the type of hug that will take place, as well as the duration of the hug. Women also typically desire more hugs, as well as other forms of affection, than men. There are even studies that women's heart health may benefit more from hugs than men.
According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, research shows that the female brain naturally releases oxytocin, a "bonding" hormone, after a 20-second hug. The embrace bonds the two people involved and triggers the brain's trust circuits. Few types of hugs last long enough to trigger the brain's trust circuits, unless it is between couples or a comforting hug. This same theory does not apply to male huggers.
Women Hugging Women
Women hug other women to express friendship and warmth. It is quite common and acceptable for women to hug other women frequently and for long durations. Many people consider hugging a "feminine" act and this is part of the reason why it is so acceptable for women to hug other women. The hug that takes place between women may also involve a kiss on the cheek and increased touching after the hug takes place.
Men Hugging Men
Depending on the culture, men typically avoid hugging other men, preferring to shake hands instead. When a hug does take place between two heterosexual males, however, the duration of the hug is usually short and bodily contact is limited.
Men typically engage in the
, where the two participants hug and shake hands simultaneously. Only the shoulders and chest touch, with the still-clasped hands bound together between the chests, creating a buffer zone. This type of hug is punctuated by aggressive back slapping while the two are still in an embrace, as if to say "I have positive feelings for you, but I want to show it in a way that is masculine."
Workplace Hugs
In an age of sexual harassment lawsuits, workplace hugs are becoming less common. According to a survey by the American Management Association, nearly half of all people called hugging "sexual harassment." Handshaking is much more acceptable in the workplace and less likely to make someone feel uncomfortable. The bottom line is use your best judgment when trying to determine if it is acceptable to hug a coworker. It is almost never okay to hug a superior, however, hugging a coworker who is also a friend is often viewed as acceptable.
Some people consider hugging an art form and those who don't still benefit from its ability to calm the nerves and deepen bonds. Always remember to use proper etiquette when engaging in a hug and use your best judgment when hugging someone for the first time. Hugging is a wonderful way to show someone you care and can have amazing effects of both people involved.
Happy hugging!

New Silk Strategy's translation from ria.ru:
The story reminded our translator of Zoshchenko, a comic short story writer who liked to poke fun at his contemporary Soviet authorities.
How the Russian wolves raided Finland. New Year's blog
Igor Romanovich
Igor Romanovich, author of the blog Green Tea
New Year's Eve. The Russian-Finnish border. A pack of Russian wolves crosses the border at the river.
They amble around, occasionally meeting their Finnish colleagues.
The colleagues are sleek and fat. Everyone is wearing an electronic collar. It's Europe. No shooting or hunting allowed, and animal rights are protected.
The Russian wolves frown at the Finnish wolves in disapproval. They've eaten ...
Well tended Finnish farms. Pigs, chickens, geese.
Flying feathers, squealing pigs, snapping jaws of the hungry aliens.
The farmers look on sadly. They all have guns, but you cannot shoot. It's Europe, animal rights are protected. They just shout hopelessly, tolerantly shaking their fists: "Wolves, you are very bad!"
Finnish scientists sound the alarm. There are illegal wolves in the country! Without electronic collars, names or records. It's a mess. What if they're offended?
A group of Finnish zoologists and huntsmen hastily mounted on snowmobiles. Carbines with tranquilizer needles, wolf collars with GPS.
They walk around the forest by the lake, where the pack rests after lunch. They travel in a chain, so that none of them gets out of line.
The pack rises, bypasses the zoologists at the flanks and attacks them from the rear.
Growling, snapping jaws, piercing howls. Snatches at pants, shotguns, collars and abandoned snowmobiles; suddenly everything is faster in the cold.
Now what? The answer is obvious - call Russian zoologists. It's their wolves, they know them better, so let them help.
Call to St. Petersburg, complaint.
They said they'd send a group of young talented scientists, but, unfortunately, not for free, since there is capitalism now and no more gifts from Lenin. The installation of a pack of collars with sensors will cost three hundred and thirty euros for each young scientist. And twenty cases of Finlandia vodka for wiping microscopes in the laboratories.
The Ural truck came, with a protective paint job. It disgorged tall laconic young zoologists in winter camouflage. Machine guns, machine pistols, night vision equipment. Finnish zoologists are concerned about bullets? You realize this is Europe.
The senior researcher checks the unloaded ammo and calms down – it's tranquilizer darts. They will sleep like the dead. Restrained laughter of young scientists.
They load the bundles of collars onto the truck bed, blow cold breath into their sleeves, quietly confer. Go.
They returned in the morning. Tired, but satisfied. Report: the wolves are collared.
Finnish zoologists at monitors. There they are! Red dots move on the monitors. Hooray! Here's the pay, as agreed.
The visitors busy themselves loading the boxes, recounting the money, and the Ural disappears in a snow haze.
The observation of the new wolves during the first days thrills the Finnish scientists. The dots on the monitor move in a strictly defined algorithm. All day they go back and forth in a distinct chain, and in the evening they gather in a neat circle and do not move until morning.
Scientists began the study "Behavioral phenomena of Finnish wolves in the winter." The Nobel Prize is just around the corner.
The second night the Finnish zoologist Mika Mäkinen cannot sleep.
The strange habits of the wolves disquiet the inquisitive scientist.
In the evening he mounts a GPS radar system on his snowmobile and goes to the forest to the place where the red dots are clustered.
In his imagination he sees a wolf pack, gathered for a big pow-wow around Akella.
They turn toward Mika. "Greetings, young Finnish zoologist Mika!" Akella solemnly says, "Come join our pack! You will be the first Finnish Mowgli!"
Mika smiles dreamily and steps on the gas.
That's the place. Mika drives into a large clearing in the forest. Akella is not there, instead he sees a laconic structure of logs with a sign bar.
From inside comes the ringing of glasses and the cheerful singing of Finnish woodcutters. Timber trucks stand darkly around the structure.
Mika's jaw drops in surprise - at the bottom of each log truck flashes the familiar light of an electronic collar.
The Russian-Finnish border. Border post. Festive New Year's table.
The head of the outpost holds in his hand a glass of Finnish vodka.
"How are our wolves, Comrade Lieutenant?"
"They've already eaten and are resting in the enclosures, Comrade Major!" They're showing a bit of frostbite.
- Good. And that frostbite is no problem! The border wolf must endure all hardships and deprivations of military service. What can we do if we don't send dogs next year. By the way, how are our bears there?
"They are engaged in military and political training, Comrade Major!"
- Well. By February 23 we will send them to Norway. They also have vodka, euros and animal rights protection there. Happy New Year, comrades
The world's most dangerous cult (it's not Wahhabism) Part III
Vahan Bogdasarian
However, Christian Zionists willingly and cheerfully approve of everything the ruling warlike Likud Party of Israel does or wants to do, including genocidal war plans against Iran and the Lebanese political party Hezbollah, which we remind the reader, is an indispensable contributor to the defeat of ISIS in Syria and Iraq. We have previously touched on this subject here and here and have mentioned that these Zionists not only devoutly believe that the modern day Israel is God's special chosen nation but worse, have infected many of their countrymen with this ideology. It was easy to accomplish this because many Americans are imbued with the idea of going to heaven and avoiding hell, and in Genesis God said that those who bless Israel will be blessed while those who curse it will be cursed. The other Bible passage that they think supports their view is the prophecy of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37.
These interpretations, however, are fatally flawed, firstly because the dry bones mentioned as representing a resurrected Israel in Ezekiel 37 are said by the prophet to have David as their king, and instead have a perpetually angry ethnocentric mortal, the secular Netanyahu, as their leader, and secondly, such a rigid adherence to a scripture verse for the sole purpose of saving one's soul from hell fire runs counter to Christ's teaching against legalism and his love doctrine. He would certainly never have exhorted His followers to support any wars that the modern state of Israel declares on anyone for the purpose of grabbing more land. Indeed, these Zionist cultists haven't a scintilla of love for their fellow men, let alone for their perceived enemies, whom they would gladly slaughter by the millions if a prominent Christian Zionist (John Hagee perhaps?) told them such were God's will. There is not a spark of Christian love in their attitude toward many non-Americans, including Syrian Christians, whose lives are threatened by the Western demand to overthrow the pro-Christian Assad. And yet their pastors stoutly uphold this absurd interpretation of the scriptures that makes them yearn for the death of their perceived enemies out of a selfish desire to save their souls while ritually mouthing the utterly meaningless words "I stand with Israel." None of these same "Christians" ever followed that up by declaring "and I also stand for the Syrian Christians." Because they don't.
The murderous heretical sects in Europe later served as models for the radical Enlightenment's rejection of the belief in God. But it was not God who had sown death and carnage across Europe. It was the profane use of God as an instrument to fend off the just consequences and confession of their guilt instead of a source of forgiveness in exchange for sincere repentance.
This has been a long and detailed commentary, but this subject, which is almost never covered in the press (reporters who tread on this territory are routinely dismissed, slandered or persecuted), deserves to be amply covered. Further fascinating material on the heretical militants of Europe can be found in the aforementioned freely downloadable book "The Socialist Phenomenon."
Lest you be tempted to think that telling the unvarnished truth about modern Israel is taboo for all Jews, the Orthodox Jewish organization True Torah Jews has warned about the danger of Zionism to the Jews themselves, mentioning various "Christian" organizations that urge Jews to leave their homes and emigrate to Israel. They mention in particular, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ).
"The IFCJ isn't alone. Groups like Christian Friends of Israeli Communities (CFOIC) and Pastor John Hagee's Christians United for Israel (CUFI) all have immigration at the top of their agendas.
"Sadly, with the emphasis on moving to Israel at all costs, claims of Philo-Semitic feeling on the part of these and other groups start to ring hollow. Especially in light of the fact that much of the money given goes towards West Bank settlements, which place everyone in that region, Jew and non-Jew, in the line of fire. I might be slightly exaggerating by saying that sending someone to live there is like buying your child a house in downtown Aleppo, but only slightly. [this was written prior to the liberation of Aleppo from ISIS by the Russians, Iranians and Syrians]
"Israel's many provocations, military, diplomatic and otherwise, both in the domestic sphere and abroad, feed anti-Semitism, throwing gas on an already raging fire. If you doubt it, visit the website for the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry, a branch of Tel Aviv University. Yearly reports show the clear and undeniable correlation between Israeli militarism and rises in anti-Semitism worldwide. When Israel does or says something foolish or aggressive, people die. Non-Jews die. Jews die.
"Dear Friend of the Jewish People,
"You say love Jews. If I were to speak candidly, giving charity to organizations that encourage Jews to move to a nation that is, statistically speaking, the most dangerous place in the world for a Jew, is anti-Semitic. Not intentionally so, there is no malicious intent in it, but the fact remains. It's an action that runs against the best interests of the Jews."
While Christian Zionists are focused solely on the Old Testament in support of their pro-Tel Aviv views, a New Testament interpretation of Christ's words regarding Israel is presented here advocating the complete opposite. The author also points out how the highly influential megapastor John Hagee calls for a pre-emptive strike on Iran to protect Israel, when in fact it would unleash a firestorm on the poor Israelis and plunge the region into chaos. The difference between Hagee and his ilk and the heretics in 15th and 16th Century Europe discussed above is that these early militants had a limited influence on others and their destruction was limited geographically and temporally, whereas Hagee has a powerful influence on the minds of many American Christians, who in turn strongly influence US foreign and military policy. Thus, for the pleasure of Israeli lobby AIPAC, Trump frequently repeated, even during his campaign, the refrain "Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terror." Most Democrats are in full agreement with this absurd assessment and both parties are aching for war against the entire Shia world – the world that has held ISIS at bay for many years and has never sent a terrorist to Europe or the US. The fact that Trump is still blindly seen as anti-Establishment makes the current situation as dangerous as it has ever been. Only the dominant and stabilizing influence of Vladimir Putin in the Middle East, and the simultaneous collapse of US prestige in the region, prevent the outbreak of a conflagration of Biblical proportions.
New Silk Strategies had shown in a previous resource (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) that there has been a tectonic plate shift in enlightened thought from West to East. This shift has enabled Christian thought to proceed unimpeded in a different part of the world, where the original body of thought can develop without the interference injected at the time of the European "Enlightenment" that interrupted the development of Christianity by discrediting it. This paper is an attempt to take up the broken thread. We shall start with Jesus.
Jesus and early Christians believed the Jews were no longer the chosen ones but that the church had replaced them.
The most important factor in the change in Christian attitudes toward the Jews may have been the Holocaust, which made martyrs of the Jews and opened the floodgates to acceptance of Zionism throughout the West. Somehow, Westerners were duped into believing that Judaism was synonymous with Zionism. This, along with a general falling away from the faith, made Christian leaders take their focus off of Jesus as their Saviour and place it on Israel as a kind of ersatz saviour, particularly since such was politically safer. What most forgot was that the nominally "Christian "Germany had discarded all Christian principles in its treatment of the Jews. Thus, post-war, there was no justification to relinquish Christ's original teachings about the Jews. Their only duty was to love these Jews, not to displace Palestinians who had lived, worked and farmed for centuries in the land from which God had long banished the Jews for their disobedience and turn it over to people calling themselves Jews but who were largely irreligious and lacked a uniform DNA that might have served as evidence of their claim to be descended from Abraham.
I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Revelation 3:9
Stephen Sizer writes:
"The post-Apostolic Church Fathers believed that the Jews ceased to be God's 'chosen people' when they rejected Jesus Christ. Instead they understood the church to be the new Israel."
Modern Christianity has reversed Christ's vision and replaced their Saviour with the secular state of Israel. If God had warned that those opposing His obedient people of ancient Israel would be cursed, what can modern "Christian" Zionists expect when they set the disobedient modern Israel (still under the curse of the diaspora) against the Christians in the Middle East (by powerfully propagandizing against the leaders who protect them) and even participate in the persecution by clandestine support of "moderates" who would force sharia law on these Christians or even banish them?
How ironic that people calling themselves Christians would ignore Christ's words regarding Israel and turn back to the pre-Christian Old Testament to defend the policies of a warlike country that rejects their Saviour.
Does anyone in America stand for Jesus any more? Anyone?

Two things came to mind as I read this account.
A siege outside the city eventually took its toll amid the abominable bloodshed, and like all of the heretical leaders before him, the magnificent Bokelson, when captured, became a snivelling whiner even offering to rat out his confederates in return for clemency. But in view of all he had done, it is not surprising that no one pitied him.
"In the square where once he had sat on a throne, he was tortured with hot irons, and then his heart was pierced with a red-hot dagger."
Thus the enemies of these sects, the Catholics, were no more merciful than they in terms of their eagerness to shed blood, based, of course, on Biblical passages that they took for commandments (isn't it true that, for many of the faithful, their favourite Bible passages seem to defend their own vices and lusts?). The Inquisition needs no further review, and the massacre of the Huguenots in Paris is another of many instances of how the Catholics dealt with "heretics."
Likewise, American defenders of slavery in the first century of the American colonies and post-revolution US also relied heavily on a skewed view of the scriptures to support their racism. Thus, these pro-slavery "Christians" relied on a belief that the swarthy-complexioned Ham was cursed and his sons would also be cursed by being forced into slavery. They ignored the fact that according to the Bible, Ham himself was not cursed and only his son Canaan was, whose complexion is not known. (However, historians tell us that the Canaanites, also known as the Phoenicians, were a Semitic people and hence not black sub-Saharans).
Biblical scholar Tony Evans explains:
"This process is known as sacralization, the development of theological and religious beliefs to serve the interest of a particular … group."
As fortune willed it, most of these heretical cults were indeed able, with only the most rudimentary training and equipment, to rampage virtually unhindered across wide swaths of territory for many months and even years, killing, marauding, sacking and burning the churches and monasteries of their perceived enemy and massacring enemy monks and priests. Even to many unbelievers, it must have seemed as if nothing could stop them and that surely God must be on their side. During this time of virtual impunity one could scarcely blame them for believing that they enjoyed divine protection. Armed with a rapidly growing faith in their invincibility, they fairly flew from victory to victory over their stunned and incredulous adversaries.
In each case it was not until they had destroyed or appropriated incalculable treasure and killed countless innocents that the authorities were able to amass sufficient trained and armed military forces to defeat them in battle, finally killing them by the thousands, and capturing their leaders, thereby stopping the destruction. It was in many cases only as the leaders were led away to the stake and the kindling set afire that they glimpsed the awful consequences of their tragic misinterpretation of the scriptures. How must they have felt as the tongues of flame licked the soles of their feet and their dreams of ushering in the Kingdom of God ended up so ignominiously, literally going up in smoke!
Were the horrors of those times a lesson given by God to humans? Have they learned it? Will they ever? And what is that lesson? For Christians, it is simply this:
Jesus was once asked by a legal expert:
"what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
He [the expert] answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'"
"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
For Jesus, love was the supreme law comparable to a Constitution. It was the legal framework into which everything else had to fit. If in a certain instance, the literal application of the law did not meet the overarching criterion of love, then it had to be discarded in that instance. Jesus illustrated this precept when he came upon a throng about to stone an adulteress and told them "let he who is without sin cast the first stone," whereupon the throng put down their stones and walked silently away. Jesus was not defying the law, which required them to stone her. He was applying a constitutional test: Did the application of the law meet the love criterion? No, it did not, and that was obvious to everyone present. It was common sense, and common sense – otherwise known as wisdom – is what tells people what love is. No scriptural passage can supersede it because love is Christ's supreme law.
Likewise, even assuming the heretics were correct in judging the Catholics for their bullying and their departure from the scriptures, and even if there were vague suggestions in the Old Testament that believers are justified in massacring infidels or blasphemers, Christ's Supreme Law of Love would not permit this and therefore, individuals who commit massacres cannot legitimately call themselves Christians. Neither can nations that arm and sponsor jihadists call themselves Christian nations. Nor can current Christian leaders reasonably pray for wisdom for their leaders because if they had had wisdom, they could not have been elected as head of a nation for which war is its raison d'être and economic mainstay (see the 3 links under Relevant Reading below).
Thus, like their cultist European forebears, the true-believer Christian Zionists, who have been discussed before at New Silk Strategies, are potentially capable of more harm than the Wahhabists of ISIS or Al-Qaeda (or any of the latter's rebrandings such as Al-Nusra or Tahrir as-Sham). Certainly, the Wahhabist jihadists would slit your throat as soon as look at you if you are a kafir, ie, a person who is not a devout Muslim. But if you are a strict Wahhabist, then you will apply it to a Muslim who you think is not as Muslim as you. That's the kind of MO displayed by the revolutionary heretics in Europe discussed above.

Many people familiar with the Middle East believe that Wahhabism is the most dangerous cult in the world. Indeed, the intentions of the Wahhabists are as dangerous as they come.
But there is a cult more dangerous than this because, while ISIS is not a state actor and has no thermonuclear arms, this other cult is a major agent in manipulating the use of nuclear arms against people who are not their enemy but who they believe with all their hearts are the enemy of God and must therefore, based on a cult-like interpretation of the scriptures, be destroyed. This teaching pits the West against the Shia world (that's the Muslims who are fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda) and its nuclear armed allies Russia and China.
The danger of the cult in question lies in two areas:
1—their cult is alarmingly popular, particularly in the US, where over 50% of Americans polled favor Israel over the Palestinians (whose land they occupy) and, in addition, their desire for war has support from other powerful agents, both government and journalistic, in their own country and elsewhere.
2—Their cult teaches that God supports their desire for war and will keep them free from harm regardless of the risks and perils of the course of action – even a nuclear attack – that their government may undertake under pressure from them. Remember the soldiers in WW I sporting belt buckles with the inscription Gott mit uns. God is always for us, right?
The cult in question is Christian Zionism, which we will prove is in fact anti-Christian.
Past centuries have seen, in Europe, various cults strikingly similar to this modern one whose followers were fully convinced that they were executing God's will and that He would protect them from all harm even as they marauded across Europe wantonly breaking God's commandments not to kill or steal. This history of militant heretics is vividly portrayed with regards to numerous socialistic Christian sects by renowned Soviet mathematician and anticommunist dissident Igor Shafarevich in his book "The Socialist Phenomenon" (Социализм как явление мировой истории / Sotsializm kak yavlenie mirovoy istoriy).
These sects included the Cathars, the Apostolic Brethren, the Adamites, the Taborites, the early Anabaptists and numerous others, all of them imbued with a sense that certain obscure scripture verses conferred to them divine carte blanche to plunder churches and kill Christians with beliefs different from theirs. This conviction of self-righteousness is strikingly similar to the Wahhabist teachings in the Middle East.
Thomas Münzer,one of the founders of the Anabaptists, was a charismatic leader of the Peasants' Revolt in Germany around the time of Luther's Reformation. In his sermons, he railed against the local authorities, princes and church leaders, who he believed had arrogated to themselves rights that only God could wield and confer. He and his rebel followers plundered and burned churches and wantonly killed priests, citing vague scripture that he thought supported his lawlessness, though his actions violated Christ's Law of Love (more on this later).
At the beginning of the 14th century a "heretic" leader founded in Italy a sect that he called the Apostolic Brethren (Fraticelli Apostolici), which opposed the Catholics on several grounds. They opposed the Church not only philosophically but also militarily. According to Shafarevich:
"Victory in the wars with the Antichrist Pope, Dolcino foretells, will be won thanks to the interference of a foreign monarch. He pins his hope on Frederick, the King of Aragon and Sicily, who at the time was engaging in a fierce conflict with the Pope. (He had just strung up all the monks in Sicily who were suspected of supporting the papacy.)
Dolcino derived all this from his interpretation of the Biblical prophets"
He slaughtered people who disagreed with his take on scripture.
According to this Italian language text, Dolcino was eventually caught and made to watch as his wife was burned at the stake. Then it was his turn. Prior to this, he was subjected to unspeakable torture, such as castration, and his nose was cut off. Where was "love thine enemies" in this horrific clash of Christian vs Christian?
You probably will have heard of the sweet pacifistic Mennonites and Amish in Lancaster County PA. Before they were pacified, their Anabaptist forebears (we mentioned Münzer above) staged a reign of terror in Münster and elsewhere in the 16th Century. They were absolute caricatures of themselves. The first noteworthy leader, Jan Matthijs, after calling for all dissidents to be exterminated, declared war on essentially the whole non-Anabaptist world:
An excerpt from Shafarevich:
"The Anabaptists made a display of their power almost immediately in a terrible outburst of violence that took place … three days after the election. Monasteries and churches were destroyed, religious objects smashed and saints' relics thrown into the streets."
To show his authority, Matthijs, personally executed one hapless citizen who disagreed with the bloody agenda. The obviously mentally disturbed leader had a vision in which he would take on single-handedly the enemy troops besieging the city. Proclaiming "God's will be done," he marched outside the city wall and was hacked to pieces by the lansquenets. Upon his death his comrade in arms Jan Bokelson (Jan van Leyden) announced that he would personally replace Matthijs.
If Matthijs was the hors d'oeuvre, Bokeleson was the main course. Once installed in power, he had himself crowned king of the world and began persecuting and killing unbelievers wholesale. He declared all things in common (communism), including all women. At one of his own frequent wedding parties, he saw an unfortunate guest whom he did not recognize and beheaded him on the spot. His pious wives stood round about the gory scene singing "Glory to God in the Highest".
"One woman who refused to become the king's wife, in spite of his several proposals, had her head chopped off in the town square by the king's own hand, while his assembled wives sang "Glory to God in the Highest.' "

The mainstay of the Christian Cult of Israel (known as Christian Zionism in its more explicit form), which has existed for over 60 years and largely dominates American Christianity, is the description in Ezekiel 37: 1-14 of the prophet's dream of a valley of dry bones that come together to form a living body, which the prophet says represent Israel, whose people God had banished from their land for disobedience. The challenge with this and most other prophecies for scholars is the absence of a time frame for its fulfillment and a lack of further details as to the nature of the Israel resurrected -- ´perhaps just after the prolonged captivity in Babylonia. The majority of churches now believe that this resurrected Israel of prophecy is in fact that one with its capital in Tel Aviv. And because Christians are arguably the largest voting bloc, their will translates into national policy, particularly foreign policy, the one that keeps the US constantly embroiled in war after war that the nation loses consistently.
US policies are regularly blamed on a putative "Deep State," but the backbone of the nation is the people -- which I call the Shallow State for the purpose of this article, which in fact controls the U.S. government to a vast extent not understood by most.
The dry bones prophecy was reportedly recorded in the year 587 BC, 10 years after the start of the first diaspora, ie, the Babylonian captivity. Anyone reading this prophecy around the time it was written would have been convinced that the dry bones were the now-ancient Israel that had just then ceased to exist in the land given the Hebrews by God. In fact, the diaspora ended starting in the year 538 when Persian King Cyrus released all the Israelite captives and allowed them to return to their ancestral land. Was this return of the captives to Israel not analogous to the re-assembling of dry bones?
Indeed this first diaspora ended in 538 BC, when Jewish captives began to return to their homeland. What would that have been but a resurrection of the once-dry bones? However, subsequent Bible scholars prior to the Zionist movement had their own take on this and their words were often spoken with clarity and zeal as well as with what seemed like air tight Biblical logic at the time.
For instance, in 1864, the renowned preacher Charles Spurgeon preached a different slant on the dry bones prophecy than that of today's "Christian Zionists." He firmly believed that there would indeed be a resurrected Israel but one that accepted Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Thus, compared to today's Christian Zionism, Spurgeon's vision of the future Israel was a frankly Christian one. In that sermon he said:
"There shall not be two, nor ten, nor twelve, but one—one Israel praising one God, serving one king, and that one King the Son of David, the descended Messiah."
By contrast, the modern Christian supporters of Zionism include Pastor John Hagee, whose theology is centered squarely on Israel and who once preached that Jews could be a kind of honorary "Christians" if they were faithful to their Abrahamic God and His commandments. A far cry from Christ's words "no man cometh unto the Father but through Me." Mainstream Christians could not stomach this perversion of their scriptures, and Hagee was eventually pressured into recanting this heresy. Even so, there are well-known Christian leaders like Texas Senator and ex-presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who hold to the proposition that Christians are called upon to wholeheartedly support the modern state of Israel and all its policies, despite its high percentage of atheists and scarcity of true believers in the Old Testament—and despite the fact that this contemporary Israel is, for example, wholeheartedly in favor of same-sex marriage, which the senator rejects on Christian grounds.
This is a far cry from Spurgeon's view of Ezekiel's Israel prophecy, a Christ-centered view that has almost completely died out, along with a lot of other articles of the faith, and along with a firm grasp of family values and a sense of family security. And along with the loss of family security, we have lost a feeling of national and economic security as well. Spurgeon would have told us that the material and the spiritual go hand in hand and when one fails, so does the other.
But he would not have been allowed to speak in today's churches.

Summer comes and goes quickly… so how can we snag some much needed R&R in a world filled with constant technology and truly "un-plug" before the fall arrives? Sometimes a getaway, where cell and internet service are unavailable, is the answer. But what if you don't have the time or the budget set aside, or even the energy to take a trip? Staycations in the comfort of your own home are a wonderful option and possible to pull off! Here are a few tips to enjoy your home and make sweet memories this summer, getting a little retreat from the world:
1. Put all paperwork and mail in a box. Out of sight, out of mind to allow for peace away from those nagging "to do's." You would not be looking at the bills if you were away, so hide it until your staycation is over. If you want to go one step further, you can even have the post office hold your mail.
2. Take your vacation outside. Sip on your cup of morning coffee as you enjoy the morning sun. Cook and eat outdoors for your meals. It's fun and involves less cleanup.
3. Really want it to feel like a vacation? Hire a house cleaning service before and also after your "staycation" to really ease the urge that you need to be doing something. Then turn on some beach-style or soothing music to help you get in the vacation mood, and keep the music playing throughout the day.
4. Act like it's vacation! Put your electronics (phone, laptop, tablet, even your TV remote if needed) in a drawer so you cannot see or hear them so that you don't give in to the temptation to "check in" on anything. Go outside to read the book you have been meaning to read, journal, catch some sun and watch the clouds, or just actually stop and really smell some roses.
5. Make it memorable by taking pictures. Some of the best memories are made right in your own home!
Here is a link to my pintrest page with more ideas on how to make your staycation memorable and unwind in your own home. We would also love to know, are you planning a staycation this summer? What do you plan to do?

Watch: "Lipstick Prince" Stars Block B's P.O, BTOB's Eunkwang, And More Serenade Akdong Musician's Lee Soo Hyun
Akdong Musician's Lee Soo Hyun was the latest "princess" to appear on the OnStyle style program "Lipstick Prince"!
In the April 6 episode, the singer was given a beauty makeover and participated in small games and challenges with the cast. During a quiz game, the princely panel was asked to guess which love song Lee Soo Hyun would want a boy to sing to her when he confessed his love.
BTOB's Eunkwang began singing a few lines from 4Men's "Baby Baby." While it wasn't the right answer, she was visibly impressed and told him that she really wished he would sing it for her anyway.
The cast immediately burst out laughing once it was Shownu of MONSTA X's turn. The shy singer was only able to get out a few lines of his group's song "Hero" before giving up and bashfully hiding his face in embarrassment.
SF9's Rowoon surprised the rest of the group with his unexpectedly smooth voice, earning compliments from the others with his rendition of 40's "Listen To The Letter."
"Aren't tall, good-looking people usually not good singers?" Kim Heechul joked.
Continuing the guessing game, Tony Ahn turned to Lee Soo Hyun and began singing the chorus to her YG labelmate Taeyang's ballad "Eyes, Nose, Lips." However, she immediately cut him off by insisting, "No, no, no." Her quick reaction incited a big reaction from the other cast members, who playful teased the veteran idol for choosing such an old song.
The cast was then given a few hints to help them along. One was that it probably wasn't a song that Tony Ahn knew. The second hint was that song was recorded by someone in the "Lipstick Prince" cast about three years ago. With these hints, the boys were able to rule out NCT, SF9, and MONSTA X, who debuted well after the song's release.
"So then it's Super Junior, Block B, or BTOB," Tony Ahn concluded, which caused Eunkwang to suddenly recall that she had mentioned she was a Block B fan earlier in the episode.
With that, Block B's P.O was able to deduct the right answer, and instantly began singing the chorus of his group's 2014 single "Extraordinary Woman."
"Soo Hyun said that she likes the song a lot," Kim Heechul commented to a visibly shy P.O once the answer was revealed. "You should perform the song to her as a special gift."
Check out the guessing game – plus P.O and Lee Soo Hyun's adorable a capella performance of the song – in the "Lipstick Prince" clip below!
