You will need to ask on the Fedora Mono SIG list to find out what the current status of WiX is (and how to build it on Fedora).Thanks Rich. Will look into it, probably on the weekend. The MS SDK mentioned doesn't sound like a problem, unless it's licensing has GPL/LGPL unfriendly stuff in it (possible). Building on Windows anyway, so not really concerned about cross compilation. :)
But that may be a problem for others in the future who may want to enhance it or fix bugs.

Why Primark proves bricks can be sweeter than clicks
At Primark, like-for-like sales fell 1.5 per cent in the period, held back by poor performance in Germany and a mild autumn across Europe. Overall sales growth - 4 per cent at constant exchange rates - came only from adding space, at a time when other retailers are reducing store exposure. At AB Sugar half-year sales declined 11 per cent at constant rates, mainly due to lower EU prices, cutting operating profit from £90m to £1m. At Asos, "Sugar Dust" is a women's fashion label, not a costly waste material. At Primark, operating margin in the first half increased by 190 basis points to 11.7 per cent. Primark's margin meant a 6 per cent increase in selling space led to a 25 per cent increase in profit.

In the summer of 2016, Show Me the Body released their debut album "Body War," an electric banjo-driven sonic storm, blending post-hardcore, industrial, hip hop and math rock. That's the record most NYC kids involved in the vital, seminal, local DIY scene - and in all likelihood, most rock critics too - will remember years from now.
The NYC born and bred trio just announced a New York show residency that will take place in five different venues across the city. This residency is presented as an extension of the spirit of their recent short film called "Ammunition", for which the band's goal was to find and tell stories as compelling, disturbing and uplifting as they found in their own backyard of New York City. Dates can be found here, check out the video for album opener 'Body War' below. - photo by Dylan Johnson

God is first. He is always first but then managing the rest of my life can be a struggle. If I did not put God first, there is no way I could handle my life. I am one of those women who are a working wife and mom, the so called "Wonder Woman".
I loved that show by the way.
I was an 80's girl, so many of us young girls looked up to her,especially my best friend and I. Diana was strong and had beautiful eyes and hair. She had a man that loved her and a great job!
The best part was her super powers!
She fought injustice,evil and kept it all together. You go, girl! I knew if Diana could do it, so could I.
Then it happened….
I graduated college and went into nursing full time. I married immediately afterwards and two children followed.I was Wonder Woman…without the powers.
That is what I was missing most. We need power, the power to do what God has called us to do in whichever situation we find ourselves. Wives need wife power. Moms need mom power and we all need Work power.
Wife Power.
Have you ever read "Power of a Praying Wife" by author Stormie Omartian? Prayer is powerful. However, it is not the act of prayer, but rather, it is our faith in the One who we are praying too, that makes the difference.
I remember wondering how to manipulate my husband into doing what I wanted in our earlier years of marriage. There had to be a way, I thought.
Maybe great sex was the key, maybe amazing food or cheering on his favorite team would sway him. To my surprise and disappointment, those things actually worked…temporarily.
However, I did not get what I was really after. I did not want to manipulate. I wanted him to want to do what I wanted. Ever been there?
Enter wife power. The power came in prayer. My nagging, manipulation and 5 star meals were nothing compared to God's ability to steer my husband towards his wife.
For example, I was so frustrated about his choice of music, maybe I was selfish, but I was also concerned for what was entering my household in the form of music. So this time…
I prayed.
I prayed for months and I trusted God. I mentioned it to my husband and left it alone. I left it to God and prayed for peace in my heart. To my astonishment, the Lord changed his desires, his internal motivation and it resulted in what I had prayed for. Keep praying (1 Thessalonians 5:17, KJV). Super wives are super prayer warriors!
Mom Power
I love that the Bible gives us pictures of God as a mother. He delivers us and is hovering over us as a protector who picks us up in His arms (Hosea 11:3,4, KJV). Motherhood is a blessing and a challenge for me.
I struggle with mom guilt with the best of them. I constantly wonder if I am doing things "right", being a good example and cooking regularly nutritious meals to name a few.
Maybe you can relate.
A change of mindset brought me to the realization that I had been chosen for this role, I begin to see that the Lord had even empowered me for the role. You see, the power to be mom comes from God.
Knowing that you alone were uniquely selected by God to rear your children is a game changing thought. No one can love them like you. No one can impart the Word of God like you. No one can teach them like you.
Mom power began at conception and absolutely no one is as capable to fill that superhero role…but you.
Work Power
Perhaps you dread Monday mornings. If you are like me, maybe you only wanted to only work part time to help out and ended up being the breadwinner of the family for a season.
"Lord", I prayed, "this was not the plan!".
It is seldom that our plans and God's plans for us are seeing eye to eye. Since He is above all and knows that His plans are superior, we really just need to get on board! You see, perspective is everything.
When you are in that valley, you have no idea how things look from the mountaintop. Trusting God with your work whether that is at home or elsewhere is powerful.
I remember praying that I could find a job where I could not work weekends so that I could attend church with my family, but in that season, the Lord allowed me to minister to so many non churchgoers online. I was amazed.
During a different season, I worked in the evening and I complained about that, but did not realized until later that I was able to volunteer at my children's school regularly what a blessing!
While working, God gives us the power to encounter opportunities that others never will.
It is the power to find the blessing in your current environment. If you look for God, you will find Him. When you find Him, you find the desire and the power to work willingly (Philippians 2:13).
It is not a chore.
It is a service to others, a privilege even. You have the power to influence the world by your attitude while working. What a revelation. How powerful is that?
SUPER Power
Have you noticed the theme? Our superpowers are absolutely rooted in the power of God.
We are weak, frail and insufficient in comparison. On our best day, we are prone to failure…again,but on our worst days, with the superpower of God we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37).
It is the One within you that gives you the ability to supernaturally be the best at whatever you put your hands to do. He puts His super on our natural and it enables us to live lives that glorify Him instead of ourselves.
Hopefully, these practical tips will encourage you how to be Super, in any circumstance, We can be Wonder Women because it is….
God who calls us, empowers us and enables us to the task at hand!
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20).

I've decided to start a Sunday Special…my Rants and Raves page. I'll be blogging every Sunday about…well…about anything I feel like ranting or raving about 🙂 Breathe easy guys, it will be books related. Sometimes i'm reading a book, chatting about a book or reading other reviews online and I have something to say about it which might be positive or negative so here's where i'll be saying it. It will mostly be an outlet for me…but hopefully you'll also enjoy the ride 🙂
Might be a lot of this
Or a lot of this
Starting this Sunday…
Also don't forget to check out the Read with Us page, Author and Book News Page, The Discussion Forum and another new one, Reading Orders.

More Articles from Religion Information:
WARNING - Do Not Take The Mark Of The Beast
This article, on the mark of the beast, will be short, sweet and straight to the point. This will be an extension off of the articles that I just did on all of the events that will be occurring leading up to the return of Jesus back to our earth to set up His Millennium Kingdom.
Powerful Powers
Have you ever wondered what is power and where does it come from, and who has it? Well lets look at what the Bible says about power. First lets look at 1Chronicles 29:10 it says David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
The thought of a public examination before the Judgment bar of our Lord should be incentive enough to awaken even the most slumbering saint of God. Yet few, if any, ever give it a second thought.
The Power of Thankfulness and Vice Versa
We are soon to celebrate once again the National Holiday known as "Thanksgiving."We do this every year.
Surely Not ALL Evils!
Surely, Not All Evils!(circa 2000)St. Paul wrote a letter to a young Christian, and said that the root of all evil is the love of money.
Why Churches Die: Denying The Gift Of Healing The Sick
Recently a question was posted on a Christian forum asking why so few churches practice anointing with oil to heal the sick (See James 5:14). That's a good question.
Do You Have a Name For Me?
MAN: Good afternoon Professor Knowledge. Let me cut to the chase.
Peaceful Religions?
If you say that Christianity is a peaceful religion according to scripture then it can be said that Islam, according to scripture is peaceful. In reality, both the Koran and the Bible present a dichotomy, promoting peace and violence.
Biblical Hermeneutics - Part 3
Instead of being passive consumers of Biblical commentary, we can participate in the forming of a very particular, but no less authentic, commentary of our own. The only thing that should happen between text and commentary is exegesis, not homiletics.
All Knowledge and Wisdom Comes Direct From God
These next set of verses are the heart and soul of this entire subject matter. All of these verses are telling us that all knowledge and all wisdom come direct from God and Jesus.
Jesus the Pharisee
RESPONSE TO PAULINE CHRISTIANITY: - The whole of Christendom is not Popery or Romanized but the Pauline influence is arguably the strongest doctrine in the whole of philosophy and theology. 'The Mythmaker: Paul and the Invention of Christianity' by Hyam Maccoby say these things on the back cover:"Defying the accepted view of Jesus as creator of Christianity, Hyam Maccoby, a leading Talmudic scholar, offers a brilliantly argued, boldly provocative challenge to traditional theories about the origin of the Christian religion and leads us to a startling unorthodox conclusion.
Building a Church and Church Building Designs
Building a church is a large project that is more than constructing natural materials, because building a church is building an expression of a church congregation's heart. Building a church has a purpose that is much more than housing classrooms or meeting rooms.
Conserving Water at a Car Wash Fundraiser
If you use a pressure washer during your fundraiser you can wash twenty cars with one capful of soap in a two-thirds filled five-gallon water bucket. Of course your soap will be biodegradable.
The Rapture
Isnt There But One God?
I heard a pastor say, regarding people of the Muslim faith, "Too bad they are praying to the wrong God!" This was during a Sunday morning sermon. I flinched.
Let Her Be Covered Part Two
The framework for the message this morning will consist of a series of questions revolving around this command: "Let her be covered."The first of these questions is: "To whom is this command addressed?"Now that's a very simple question.
Resurrection Faith (Part 2)
Christ died. This is a historical fact not to be denied.
Possibilities in Prayer
Prostrateology is the theological term for the doctrine of prayer. Prayer is the oldest form of worship and is universal to all types of religions and believers.
No Word Yet on Pedophiles With New Catholic Pope
The new Pope is not expected to break ranks with his fellow Cardinals or Army of Priests any time soon and come clean on the issues of child molestation and pedophilia. We all know and it is no secret that Catholic Priests around the world are pedophiles and child molesters.
The Tsunami: A Wake-up Call
In looking back on the year that has just ended-a year filled with the horrors of war and of natural disasters such as last fall's hurricanes-one would have to be callous not to mention the earthquake and tsunamis. The devastation seems to get worse every hour as new reports, images, and statistics come in.

I have thought a lot about the town's litter problem and, further to a recent letter (Shop Litter Louts, 12.6.03) from ICL of Acklam, I have some possible solutions.
Instead of fines for littering, introduce a sentence of one or more days' litter picking or similar.
Make parents or guardians wholly responsible for the actions of their charges - if children are caught dropping litter or vandalising (or any other criminal activity), the parents must take the blame and take the punishment if the children are not old enough to be charged.
I have taught my child not to drop litter. In fact, he picks up other litter when out and gives it to me to dispose of.
Make every householder and shop owner responsible for their piece of roadside, pavement and front garden.

After years of dominance of the football genre, have Konami finally slipped up? Avid Gamer investigate in this review as to what extent the above statement is true. They look at all sides of the game in this review.
yup i agree with everything they said. i was a fan of pro evo since ISS and ISS PRO. i even pre ordered pro evo 2008. but this last one bah... mmajor flop for seabass and his crew. i wont switch to fifa becaus of it's arcade style of game but im open to sugestions eheheh.
ps - im not talking about frame rates or graphics. im talking about GAMEPLAY
i've got pes 2008 on my 360, and fifa on my ps3, and pes is far more arcadey now in my opinion. Fifa is now more of an attritional game - the defenses are very solid and hard to break down, even though neat passing undoes them a bit too easily. The football in fifa just isnt fluid - in pro evo you feel stringing some passes together is attractive football - in fifa its very stuttery - the runs players make arent that great so you're playing to feet too much. Fifa, in my view has lost its "one man takes on entire team and scores" approach - that is completely impossible now. Its still not as good as pro evo, but for very different reasons now...
PES is still the better game in my opinion - if i'm honest the only aspect of the game that really dissappoints me is the goalkeepers. They are truly shocking. I've conceded countless goals from soft shots bouncing out of the keepers hands. To shout so much about the AI improvements found in the game and then forget to apply the same level of attention to the goalkeepers is unforgivable.

Industry Specific Services Manufacturing
...After everything that has happened and with a lot of hard work and endless days, we are back up and running. As fast as we moved rebuilding, it never seemed fast enough in my eyes but in reality it was a miracle we were able to save the business. My employees, family, friends, friends of friends worked countless hours to help us rebuild. In particular, I want to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude for the fine work done by the Adjusters International team. My claim was very complex and I know I would not have done as well without your help. Craig, your expertise and negotiating skills were heaven-sent! You guided the claim process effectively, and you pushed for things in the settlement that have made a very positive impact. You and your people did a wonderful job, and I wholeheartedly recommend Adjusters International to anyone who has a large claim. ...Thank You!
Insurance Claim Services For Manufacturers
When you've worked hard to grow your manufacturing business, suffering insured property damage shouldn't threaten your future. Your commercial property insurance claim is supposed to make you whole — and our public insurance adjusters make sure no one stands in the way of your maximum financial recovery.
If you've suffered commercial property damage from fire, water, wind or another disastrous event, you do NOT have to deal with commercial insurance claim delays, denials, or low-ball offers.
Call in the public adjusters at Globe Midwest Adjusters International. We have a 94-year track record of successfully helping policyholders collect every dollar they're entitled to under the terms of their commercial property insurance.
Trusting your insurance company to pay you everything you're entitled to for your commercial property insurance claim is like trusting the IRS to do your taxes. It's not a risk you have to take.
Much like you'd consult a CPA for complex tax matters, or an attorney for complex legal matters, our public insurance adjusters are licensed professionals who work exclusively for you when you need the highest payout for your insurance claim settlement.
If you're being treated unfairly settling your commercial property insurance claim, Globe Midwest Adjusters International tips the scale back in your favor.
Your insurance company has its own claims adjuster, who represents the insurance company's interest in your claim. When you need someone to represent your interests in a manufacturing-related property insurance claim, never settle for less than Globe Midwest.
Your Situation
How We Can Help

Factors To Consider
Insurance companies frequently use independent building and equipment consultants to prepare bids.
- Who are these consultants?
- Who are they working for?
- Do they only work for insurance companies? Why should this be a red flag?
Temporary production in other owned or non-owned locations? What happens at the end of your claim?
Increased efficiency and productivity with new equipment. Does the insurance company get a "credit?"
How does the smoke and the water used to fight the fire affect your machinery? Your computers and other electronics?
Warranties and Protective Safeguard Requirements.
- What do they mean?
- What if you are not in full compliance?
- Can you still collect?
What are extra expenses? What can be included?
Valuation of raw materials. Work in progress. Finished goods. Methodologies employed.
Can you continue to pay your employees?
- "Ordinary" employees versus "key" employees. How do they get classified? What is covered?
What is the difference between Actual Loss Sustained and Sales Value of Production and how does it affect your claim?
Replacing versus repairing production lines. Pros and cons.
Is there coinsurance in your policy?
- If there is, what does it mean?
- If there is, did your insurance company's adjuster tell you? If not, why not?
- How is coinsurance calculated on replacement cost? On actual cash value?
- Properly managing coinsurance can prevent disaster. Not properly managing coinsurance can put you out of business!
Increased efficiency and productivity with new equipment. Does the insurance company get a "credit?"
Code Upgrade coverage is very important when rebuilding after a fire.
- How does your coverage address codes?
- If your coverage is limited, is there anything you can do about it?
What happens when the insurance company engages a forensic accountant?
- What is his/her role?
- Why can't your accountant just prepare your claim?
- What is the harm in sharing your financial statements?
- Are you required to produce your tax returns?
- Can you recast your financial statements? If so, why?
How do you project lost sales? What about new products? Sales declines?
What are expediting expenses? How do they differ from extra expenses?
What is the difference between Actual Loss Sustained and Sales Value of Production and how does it affect your claim?

Aussie dollar climb to US75 cents a win for those travelling overseaslow point in January at only US68 cents.
While the dollar has been kicking goals this week, RBA board member Phillip Lowe said the Aussie is depreciating overall.
Lowe made a keynote speech on the resilience of the Australian economy and said that the country's growth is finding balance partially thanks to exchange rate movements.
"The effect of the exchange rate depreciation is evident in the improved conditions and prospects for a number of industries, including tourism, education, agriculture and parts of manufacturing."
"Just as the earlier appreciation helped the economy avoid overheating during the resources boom, the depreciation is now helping the economy adjust to lower commodity prices and lower investment in the resources sector," said Lowe in the speech.
The Commonwealth Bank seemed to agree in a report this morning which noted the Australian dollar would struggle to stay high due to "disappointing trade data out of China."
Currency analysts at the Commonwealth Bank forecasted earlier this year that the AU dollar will drop to US65 cents by the end of March before recovering to around US70 cents by the end of 2016.
How Aussies can take advantage of the AU dollar surge
For Australians planning a winter escape abroad, this could be the perfect time to lock in a competitive exchange rate on a prepaid travel card, before the Aussie dollar drops, as predicted.
Scenario: Travel money outcome for a US holiday
Say you're going to enjoy a mid-winter break in the states with a friend. Given the strong AU dollar might not last, loading AUD$8,000 into the Cash Passport Prepaid Currency Card with a high exchange rate of 0.71, at the time of writing would secure you a tidy sum of US$5,680 for your travels.
That rate combined with the travel card benefit of having no ATM withdrawal fees while you're there could give you just the confidence you need for a budget-friendly vacay.
But if you waited until the end of the month and the Aussie dropped to 65 cents against the US dollar as predicted by CommBank currency analysts, you would only get $5,200 out of your $8,000 Australian dollars in US currency. The $480 you missed out on for not locking in your dollar sooner could have been put towards shopping up a storm on Rodeo Drive!Do you have a serious case of wanderlust and want to remedy it by locking your funds into a prepaid travel card now?

Rhapsody in Blue and Treble Choir perform at Fullerton College
Rhapsody in Blue and Treble Choir performed at a festival performance on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at Fullerton College.
Choirs from seven different schools participated in the event. Treble and Rhapsody choir members sang "Alleluia" by Jennifer Thomas, "The Sleigh" by A La Russe and "Bambulele" by Will Lopes.
"It was exciting seeing the really good choirs and pretty nerve-wracking afterwards. You never know how you'll sound, you just hope your hard work pays off and leaves some type of impression," Rhapsody in Blue junior Delia Palacios said.
After the event, the judge rated every choir's performance on their dynamics, volume and knowledge of the piece. The choir director was later given the score sheet, which the choirs will review during class, and recommendations on how to improve their performance.
"Going to the festival was really great because we all are there for one reason: to share and sing music," Rhapsody in Blue junior Leanne Mangilit said. "It's nice knowing that no matter what school we are from or what level we may be on, we all have something in common, and it's music."

This piece is a contribution from our good friend David Goza who can also be watched here.
Throughout most of my life, I've regularly heard one version or another of a shopworn claim made by pulpiteers, Sunday school teachers, Christian bloggers and authors, participants in Christian Facebook groups, and so forth. It goes like this: There's a "God-shaped hole" inside each of us, and unless we fill it with God we'll never be happy. Since nature abhors a vacuum, we'll try to fill that void with something (a list usually follows, and will typically include sex, drugs and rock-'n'-roll). But nothing we try to fill it with will ever really satisfy us since only God can fill it perfectly.
One encounters many variations on this theme, including the often-heard claim that atheists make a religion of evolution or a god of Richard Dawkins (or of themselves) and that those who do not embrace the Kingdom of Heaven will almost certainly become political activists of the communist variety, bent on establishing their own substitute heavenly kingdom on Earth.
That claim is a gross distortion of a metaphor coined by Jean Paul Sartre, who spent much of his career teasing apart the particulars of our uneasy relationship with the culture in which we find ourselves embroiled without having chosen it. His "God-shaped hole" metaphor points at the essential emptiness at the heart of our industrial civilization, with its pointless routines, infuriating distractions and glut of cheap, toxic crap. It's a poignant metaphor meant to capture the poignancy of our predicament.
The misuse I cited earlier represents a warping almost beyond recognition by those who employ Sartre's metaphor casually without having read what he had to say about it. I want to try to couch it in terms that make better sense, that are truer to Sartre's meaning.
It's obvious that most humans feel a deep need for meaning in their lives, and thus pursue it in various ways. Many – surely most to at least some degree – seek meaning outside themselves, in something "larger" (the family, the community, the state, the church, the cosmos), but this isn't true of everyone. A few seem to locate meaning only in themselves, and this leads to some distressingly predictable behaviors. Those so described almost inevitably end up at the top of whatever ladder it is they're climbing and thus join the ranks of the most dangerous people alive: the narcissists and sociopaths who wield great power and command vast wealth. Like black holes, they take but do not give. In their case, it may be that "meaning" is the wrong word: perhaps "fulfillment" would be a better choice.

The Anal Teaser Silicone Prostate Massager is made from luxurious silicone and has proven to be a staple in any collection needing an anal sex toy.

CEBU, Philippines — After the "Street Food Asia" Cebu episode and all the uproar that it brought last May, the province will once again be in the spotlight with a Netflix treatment of one of its (formerly) world-famous attractions: the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) Dancing Inmates.
Titled "Happy Jail," the five-part documentary series is directed and executive produced by Emmy award-winning Filipino-American Michele Josue. Her fellow executive producers are Liam Mcniff and Joe Amodei.
Josue's critically acclaimed feature film debut, "Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine" is a winner in the 10 Best Documentary and Audience Choice Awards from festivals worldwide and boasts a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Special in 2016.
"Happy Jail" goes inside CPDRC, where dancing was part of the inmates' exercise and rehabilitation. It shot to worldwide fame when its 2007 performance of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" went viral, but 10 years later faces intense scrutiny when an ex-convict is hired to run it.
"I believe that our personal stories have the power to help shape a more compassionate, empathic world, one in which we can talk about differences and similarities, and recognize pieces of ourselves in others. As a Filipina-American filmmaker, it's incredibly important to me to share stories that can connect people, regardless of difference, and with the case of 'Happy Jail,' hopefully usher Filipino stories into the mainstream," said Josue in a statement sent by Netflix to The FREEMAN.
Josue's parents immigrated to the U.S. from Sagay, Negros Occidental, when they were in their 20s. She said their family both flourished and struggled in the U.S., and all the while, her parents instilled in them siblings a pride and love of their Filipino heritage. She feels grateful for the opportunity to return and reconnect to the Philippines and to create "Happy Jail," describing it as an honest, humanistic portrait that amplifies the stories and voices from her homeland.
Josue said that seeing the Dancing Inmates perform with such joy and unity, she felt that familiar Pinoy pride and immediately recognized that this extraordinary program was perfectly emblematic of the Filipino people and their love of music, dance, and performance.
"My team and I were determined to tell the inspiring story of these resilient, hopeful Dancing Inmates as representative of the Filipino spirit," she said.
"But little did we know that our project would take a surprising turn and deepen in ways we never could have anticipated. Our filming began in 2016 around the same time as the drug war began. Our cameras were there when CPDRC was suddenly thrust into this new era, and its staff was overwhelmed with an influx of inmates and the pressure of it all. Over the next three years, we witnessed the jail change in meaningful ways."
Josue said that what began as a rather straightforward film about the Dancing Inmates soon transformed into an in-depth, humanistic document of the complexities of life at CPDRC.
"Suddenly, we were going beyond the dancing, stepping into the lives of those behind bars and those who strive to improve their quality of life. 'Happy Jail' was and is so much more than what we were expecting," said Josue, who has traveled around the globe with "Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine" as a guest speaker for universities and organizations, and represented the US government overseas as a U.S. State Department Speaker.
She said that filming "Happy Jail" was a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with surprises and moments that embody both the heartbreaking and beautiful things about being human.
"I am a better person for it. It was a true gift to get to know the CPDRC inmates and staff and the Cebu government officials. It was an honor to bear witness to such a monumental chapter of their lives and to be entrusted with telling their story in the honest, sensitive, and respectful way it deserves to be told. We are proud of 'Happy Jail' and how it gives a voice to the most vulnerable section of the Philippines' population and tells the world that these voices and these stories matter."
"Salamat po sa ating kababayan sa Cebu, sa CPDRC inmates sa tiwala sa amin at ngayon ay makikita na rin ng buong mundo. Sana ay magustuhan ninyo," she said.
"Happy Jail" will begin streaming on Netflix on Aug. 14.

If you are a car owner, you already know the importance of the outer appearance of your car. In fact, the paint of the vehicle plays a vital role when it comes to deciding the overall value of the car. So, it is mandatory for any car owner to maintain the optimal quality of the paint. Your car paint can be ruined due to various reasons. One of the main enemies of our car's paint is oxidation. With this article, let's see how to prevent and repair car paint oxidation.
What expert auto paint shop Reseda tells us about preventing car paint oxidation
As you might have heard, prevention is better than cure. As a car owner, therefore, you should know how to prevent car oxidation. The most effective way to prevent car paint oxidation is to ensure that regular care is continued no matter what. This process includes processes like waxing the car on regular basis (once a month at the least). In fact, when a wax layer is applied on the car, it can prevent oxidation. In addition to that, you should keep your car inside a garage whenever it is possible. It is even better if you can have the can under a car cover too. These basic methods will help to fight against oxidation.
Even with the above-mentioned precautionary methods, your car paint can get oxidized at some time. If you leave the car unattended for a long time, the condition of the paint can get worse. However, here is some important information you should consider in order to remove car pain oxidation. The good news is that if you have any experience in waxing or polishing a car body, you can get rid of oxidization easier than you think.
If you don't have polished or waxed your car for a while, do it now before the oxidization develops into a really worse case. In order to get rid of the oxidization, you should use a special solution that is dedicated to removing oxidization. If the oxidization is pretty light, you can use the formula available in car polishing compounds. However, if the case is worse, you will have to use a rubbing compound in order to remove it. Make sure that you park the car in a garage (where you get a temperature around 700 F.
Be sure that you wash the car very well in order to remove all the dust off the body. Then, you will have to leave the car to dry completely. After that, you will have to apply the special oxidation removal product. But make sure that you apply the solution on a small area and finish it. Then, remove the compound using a clean piece of cloth. You should continue this process until you get your car in a nice and shining appearance.
Then, as the final step, apply a coating of wax as a precautionary method. Don't forget to clean the headlights of the car using a cleaning compound so they will match the appearance of the body. If the condition is worse than you think, you should take your car to an auto paint shop Reseda. Specifically, an auto paint shop Reseda like Center Valley Automotive is a well-reputed place for all those auto body paint jobs.

The main factor behind Honda's F1 future decision
Honda must reduce its spending to stay in Formula 1 because cost is the biggest issue as the manufacturer weighs up continuing its engine programme beyond next season.
The Japanese company has had comfortably its best season since it returned to F1 in 2015, winning three races with Red Bull and claiming two pole positions.
Honda is committed to the 2020 season with Red Bull but must decide by the end of this year if it wishes to sign up for 2021 and the next rules cycle, which features the same engine technology but greater research and development restrictions.
"We have started to calculate how much it will cost with the future regulations," Honda's F1 managing director Masashi Yamamoto told Motorsport.com.
"We have noticed that it's very tough for all the car manufacturers at the moment, because of the environment change for electrification. So, we are summing up the development cost and having discussions internally."
Asked if cost-cutting was the biggest factor in the decision to continue, Yamamoto added: "It is true that the cost is the biggest issue.
"Winning is the first priority. Once we decide to participate, we just try to win."

Max Verstappen earned Honda its three victories this year and is on the brink of scoring more points than any Red Bull driver in this engine era and finishing third in the drivers' championship, which would mark his best result in F1.
"It's positive to have good results," said Yamamoto. "But more important thing is a balance with the cost. We have to put lots of budget to accelerate our development to catch up the top runners.
"And now we are planning how to maintain current condition and reducing the cost at the same time."
Yamamoto said that while "it is true that we haven't caught up" entirely to its competitors, it was essential that Honda ties to reduce cost from "any area" in order to continue in F1.
Read Also:
Honda had previously indicated it would wait for F1's 2021 regulations to be published before being able to proceed with a final discussion over its future, and Yamamoto is broadly satisfied with the new rules, which do not affect engine manufacturers beyond the limited dyno testing.
However, that has an impact on Honda because even if the company reduces its own budget the rules will put a limit on what can be spent on development.
Yamamoto admitted there were other potential avenues to explore with the rules to cut costs, such as some common engine parts.
"That was one idea," he said. "But overall, maybe we are still behind, so it might have been a bit difficult to use common parts.
"[But] taking the example of commons parts, if the FIA could have shown that in 2025 they can distribute this [example] part as a common part, maybe it could affect our decision to continue or not.
"Because [then] we can see a bit more longer-term with the budget."

American Psychological Association Publishes Special Issue of Psychological Services Edited By PAU Faculty
Joyce Chu, Ph.D. is a Core Associate Professor at Palo Alto University (PAU) and Director of PAU's Multicultural Suicide Research Center (MSRC). Dr. Chu centers her work on the treatment of mood disorders in young adults, adults, and elderly populations, with an emphasis on ethnic minority populations and diversity work.
She recently worked with colleague Michi Fu to edit a special issue of the American Psychological Association publication Psychological Services entitled "Innovations in Addressing Mental Health Care Disparities".
"Thirteen years since a U.S. surgeon general's report declared that African-Americans, Latinos, Asian-Americans and Native Americans receive lower quality mental health care in general than whites, there are still significant barriers to mental health services. These inequities include cost, stigma and poor quality."
More information can be found in the thirteen articles of the Psychological Services special issue "Innovations in Addressing Mental Health Care Disparities".
Dr. Chu runs the Ethnic Minority Mental Health Research Group at PAU and is an associated researched with the Center for LGBTQ Evidence-based Applied Research Group and PAU and has published in the area of mental health services for ethnic minorities.

DIY Thursday: Natural hair spray
Posted on
25 Nov 2014
If you've ever accidentally inhaled hairspray you'll be aware it's not the most lung-friendly of products… and if a cloud of hairspray chemicals is toxic enough to make you cough your lungs up, it's probably not the best for your health or the environment.
Luckily you don't have to forsake fashionable follicles while trying to be earth-friendly - we've come up with a solution that's safe and easy, includes hair-nourishing essential oils and will save you a fortune compared to its commercial equivalents.
Bosisto's Natural Hairspray
You'll need:
2 cups water (filtered preferably, in a filter jug like a Brita -but tap is fine)
2 tablespoons of white sugar
½ tablespoon isopropyl alcohol (at pharmacies or Priceline)
10-20 drops of Bosisto's Lavender Oil*
Empty spray bottle
Boil the water in a pot over the stove. Once the water is boiling, dissolve the sugar in it, mixing well. Turn the heat off and let the mixture cool to room temperature. When the mixture is cool, add the alcohol and essential oil; stir well. Using a funnel, pour into your spray bottle. Use as you would a normal hairspray (make sure you shake before each use).
*NOTE: We used lavender oil for its soothing aroma and anti-inflammatory properties; studies have also shown it helps promote hair growth

Getting bored with sticking out your tongue, blinking or raising eyebrow to get that Snapchat Lens to change? Here's Snapchat's latest Lenses respond to audible keywords. Rolling out starting Wednesday, August 1, the new Lenses animate will trigger by using specific English words.
As reported by TechCrunch, the new lenses use speech recognition instead of facial recognition to identify when to trigger an animation. By using single-word triggers to animate the augmented reality mask. Saying "OK" for example will bring up the hand symbol in one while saying "love" brings dancing hearts in another. On-screen instructions will let the users know what word will trigger the effect.
Earlier this year the update follows the first audio reactive lenses, but respond to specific words instead of changing with the volume like the lenses was launched this May. Snapchat also has Lenses that play audio and voice-altering options. The voice-activated Lenses join other animated options, like opening your mouth to hurl rainbows or a slabber puppy tongue.
These animated lenses could make videos popular by using the triggered words to add the effect at a certain point in the recording. This also work for taking photos, before, after or during the animation. So there is no requirement to stick your tongue out or raise your eyebrows, all you have to do is smile, pout, duck lip or make whatever expression you can maintain, just after saying the keyword.
"Snapchat says it will begin to make around five to six of these new lenses available to users within the next week. They'll appear periodically in the Lens carousel along with the others, starting today, Wednesday August 1st.
The lenses will prompt users how to trigger the animation, when launched, Snapchat says."
Now things going to get more interesting as these lenses can help to keep Snapchat users engaged, and could potentially turn into a technology in future.
Do you plan on using this new Snapchat feature or not? Let us know down in the comments below.

"Course Requirements: Love Kindness"
Matthew 7:13-14; Micah 6:8; Micah 7:18-20
Rev. Tasha Blackburn
September 16, 2018
A lot of harsh words are shared in the book of Micah. "It will be night for you," God says through the prophet. "I will hide my face from you…I will cut down your cities…I will exact anger in vengeance and in wrath." This terrible fate and judgment is laid on the people throughout the message. But, even with all of that, this is how it ends.
It ends with the people proclaiming what they know is true about God's core. You pardon iniquity God, and you overlook sin, and you do not hold on to anger. Yes, a lot of painful words have been shared from God to his people, discipline for their behavior but, in the end, we come to this great mercy and love. God hurls all our sins into the depths of the sea. What we learn from Micah is that, with God, kindness wins.
The word here for this kindness from God is hesed. When we read that God delights in "showing clemency," that is hesed. Or later when it says that God shows Abraham "unswerving loyalty," that is hesed. Hesed means more than just kindness. It means loyalty and mercy and love that keeps on loving, no matter what. Hesed is what we are celebrating anytime we are told that our sins are forgiven.
Many of you have told me this is your favorite moment in worship. Sometimes it lasts one minute, sometimes just a few seconds when Phil or I stand before you and proclaim that, by God's mercy, your sins are forgiven. We say things like "as far as east is from west, that is how far God removes your sin from you." We proclaim the truth that "you are forgiven of your sin; now be people of peace." For some of us, it is those few seconds we come for each week, those promises we need to hear again and again. We need to know no matter what has come before, the last word is hesed; that God pardons iniquity and overlooks sin and does not stay angry with us for long.
Last Sunday evening many of you came out for the church picnic. It was wonderful to be there together during such beautiful weather and spend time with church friends. Of course, it was also good to meet our new friends BunBun the rabbit and Poppy the chicken. As a reminder, we voted between them for what to use our Sunday School offering for. The chicken won. What you need to know about these animals is that, before their illustrious presence among you, they were crammed into my car for one of the more harrowing drives I've had in recent years, especially with the chicken.
Imagine this if you will: an in descript car on Rogers Avenue by the Hobby Lobby attempting to turn left onto Highway 540 South. Every turn of the car makes the chicken inside it go crazy so the car hesitates to turn in front of oncoming traffic, and hesitates and hesitates. A line of angry drivers formed behind said car. You can picture it, right? Later in the drive, on 71, my driving was more erratic than is recommended when I swerved several times after the chicken began trying to fly. Another time I stopped right before a large bump in the road, I was frozen from going forward and frozen from going back as the chicken's wings were caught in a cage. More swerving occurred when Alena shouted, "She's laying an egg! She's laying an egg!" (full disclosure: she was laying something but it was not an egg." Finally, exasperated and worn out I said to Alena, "This would go a lot better if other drivers knew I had a chicken in this car!" I just knew they would better understand my bad road behavior if they could see what I was dealing with here.
I promise you will never have heard these words spoken in church or in any other place before but the good news of the gospel is that God knows you have a chicken in the car. The very nature of hesed, of this love God has for us that never stops loving, is that it can only be given to someone who needs it. It is not love that is given to someone who has plenty. It is not mercy for someone who is just fine. Hesed is only given to those who need it. And God has looked in your car and he knows you need it.
Because all of us have a chicken in our car. Some of us have a couple, or even a whole flock. We have burdens and fears and pasts we carry every day that cause us to sin. We swerve instead of staying straight or we freeze, letting fear win, or we hurt others with our behavior. Usually, we don't even mean to do these sins but we do them because there are chickens in our car. There is the chicken of addiction and the chicken of bitterness, the chicken of selfish motives and the chicken of intentional blindness. The flock grows quickly and we can feel out of control from it.
Thank God for his mercy, for it is only because of that that we can even get in the car at all. That mercy, that hesed, that love, that recognition that we are in need and so he offers it, that love that keeps us going: that is what God wants us to do for others. You do it too, God says. The second requirement from Micah's three: do kindness, do hesed.
God shows hesed to us for two reasons: because he made a promise to us, a covenant, and because we need it. We are to do it for others for the same reasons. Because he made a covenant with us to show mercy to us and love us, we are to live that mercy and love for others. Because he gives mercy to those who need it, we are to give it too for those in need. He knows how hard it is to have a chicken in the car and he wants us to see others that way too. Pardon iniquity, overlook sin, do not stay angry: you can do it because you know what it is to struggle with your own chicken and be shown mercy. You know what that meant for you and so what it can mean for someone else.
Our stance toward other is to be simply this: do I rely on the mercy of God? Then I will show mercy to others. This means I will do my very best to forgive their sin. I will do my very best to set aside my anger. This is not easy. Someone may annoy you, or disappoint you, or even deeply wound you. But bitterness toward them or revenge is not who you are. It is not what you do. You do hesed. Especially when hesed is not easy, ask yourself: How many chickens are they dealing with in their car? I bet you it's a lot. But remember, there's a whole flock of forgiveness in your past as well.
Just before this beautiful benediction at the end of Micah, the prophet has been remembering some of God's great actions of the past: the Red Sea and escape from slavery in Egypt. He does that because there is hope for the future in remembering what God has done in the past. It is true for building up our own faith life: looking back on how God has saved you before gives you hope for help again in the future.
And it is also true that our past is our hope for the future when we consider how we become the people God needs us to be. Because God showed us mercy, we can go beyond ourselves and be mercy today. Because God showed us love when we did not deserve it, we can show that kind of love even when it is hard. And taking that past mercy into the future for someone else, that is the best hope any of us could have. It is the best hope this world can have.
God's great love for you is a gift, the greatest one you will ever receive. And it also has set a requirement for your life: do kindness, show mercy, offer love even when it is hard. Of course, if you have never needed God's kindness, never had a chicken in your car, then don't show any kindness to others. But if you have, if you have needed God's kindness—then, O mortal, he has shown you what to do and you know what the Lord requires of you. Amen.
