There is no better news than the Gospel! In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul lays out a clear description of the “gospel”:
15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas,[b] and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
Notice that Paul goes straight to the cross and never waivers from the cross throughout his letters:
“For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” 1 Corinthians 2:2.
The Cross for Paul was the good news and it still is the good news today. It is the “cornerstone” of our faith and nothing could be better news than Christ substitutionary atonement for our sins even “while we were still sinners.” The problem today is that there is less emphasis on the cross in the presentation of the gospel and more emphasis on escaping hell and what we are to contribute (surrender, commit, turn away from all sins, invite Jesus into our lives) to our justification as believers in Christ. This is NOT the gospel.
There is no formula that is either directly or indirectly given that one must follow in order to be saved – the thief on the cross for example. The fact is, that we offer nothing that helps our cause before Christ other than to humble ourselves enough to accept a “free gift” – as my pastor likes to say. It is 100% Christ’s work from start to finish. It is Jesus perfect life and perfect sacrifice that are the only acceptable means of justification for the salvation of our souls. Paul says that we are accredited with the righteousness of Christ that is not of our own doing. Nothing else would be acceptable because God’s standard is perfection. We could not lose our salvation if we tried:
“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:28
God saves us and He keeps us no matter what. 2 Timothy 2:13 says, “if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.” In other words, there is absolutely nothing we do to cause God to disown us. Can you imagine a father disowning their own child based on performance?
No other religion offers eternal security upfront to the entire human race based entirely on God’s work and love for ALL who are created in His image. God does not call some and not others as some would have you believe.
“The LORD is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
What also makes Christianity unique among all other religions is the fact that God loves all men equally without exception (yes, He loves even the wicked). Sadly, there are some Calvinists (such as D.A. Carson) that rob Christianity of this uniqueness. This is not only unbiblical, but it is terrible news for those who are created in God’s image. God’s word is clear:
“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19
And who is us?
“For God so loved the world (this is us) that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever (us) believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
William Lane Craig puts it well, “…the Qur’an assures us of God’s love for the God-fearing and the good-doers; but He has no love for sinners and unbelievers. Thus, in the Islamic conception, God is not all-loving. His love is partial and has to be earned. The Muslim God only loves those who first love Him. His love thus rises no higher than the love which Jesus said even tax-collectors and unbelievers exhibit.”
The concept of grace makes no sense to people who live in world where acceptance and worth is based primarily on performance. When performance is a condition that is mixed in with God’s grace it always leads to either debilitating shame or boasting in our own works. In 1 Corinthians 1:31 Paul says, …Let the one who boasts boast in the LORD.” When we boast in our own works it always leads to “fruit inspection”.
“Fruit inspection” means to inspect one’s good works to prove one is saved. This is very common among evangelicals today and it does more harm than good. Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that we are to be “fruit inspectors.” This is especially common in Reformed and Arminian religious circles. Jesus says that there is only one work (notice that this work is singular) that justifies us before God (John 6:29). But, even John Calvin taught that one should not look to his works for assurance of salvation. We are to examine ourselves (or take a personal inventory) to see if we are being obedient and then return to the Lord. But not as a measuring stick to see if one is saved.
“Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!” Lamentations 3:40
Today a common error among many of the reformed Christian leaders (Chan, Washer, Cameron, Piper, MacArthur) is that they qualify faith or the command to “believe” by adding works; or faith plus. Faith needs no qualifier. The Bible does mention a faith that is dead (useless) but this has absolutely nothing to do with our position in Christ. However, any works that stem from a useless (dead) faith will be burned up in the end (1 Corinthians 3:13-14).
The theologian, Charles Bing, says “To make works a necessary condition of faith confuses grace with merit. The Scriptures are clear that we cannot confuse grace with merit lest we boast (Eph 2:8-9). It confuses Christ’s work with what we are required to do. We are required to believe in order to be saved. Who did the obedience for our salvation? It was Jesus Himself who obeyed.” Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous” (italics added). “It’s not our obedience that saves us, it’s Christ’s obedience that saves us. We are the recipients of the blessing of the work that He has done for us. The only command for an unbeliever to obey is the command to believe the gospel.”
To put this all into perspective, I think it is important that we see the parallel in Luke 18:9-14:
“To some who were confident of their own righteousness (insert fruit inspector) and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
If the only source of information that we have regarding the holiness or good works of a particular Christian leader is through their own writings or sermons then be very cautious. Be very cautious of Christians who walk without a limp. The fact is that if you are condemning others because of the lack of fruit in their lives, you are in essence saying that your fruit is acceptable before God which is a good indication that you are “looking down on others” no matter how you try to frame it:
“For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.” Galatians 6:3-5
What was Jesus response to the adulterous woman after her sins were exposed by her accusers in John 8:1? – “Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
What a beautiful picture of God’s love for the broken and for those living in a sinful state. This is the way that we should approach those who are struggling with a life of sin (Galatians 6:1) for “There is no such thing as a believer who avoids habitual sin.” Bob Wilkin – see here and here. If Jesus does not condemn an adulterous woman who was caught in the very act itself, then what gives us the right (who sin every single day) to be a fruit inspector?
We have to be very careful in the way we present the good news to others. No where in the New Testament does it say that we are to do anything other than to change our mind about our sinful state and “believe” on Him who justifies (John 3:16, 3:36, 5:24, 20:31, Acts 16:31, Titus 3:5, Romans 4:5-6). To say that we have something to offer that justifies us is not the good news and it does not save – whether at the beginning, during or at the end of our journey with God. How would that be good news?
So what role does “fruit” play in our relationship with Christ and is there any evidence within the New Testament that some believers can live “carnal” lives even to the end. We are definitely created to do good works once we become believers and those of us who “overcome” and live fruitful lives are promised rewards once we get to heaven. Living fruitful lives also helps us to avoid God’s discipline (which I have had plenty of in my own life) and it does wonders for our fellowship with our Creator. Paul makes it clear that not all of the “brethren” will be fruitful. If being fruitful were an automatic response (as Calvinists would say), once we emerge as “new creation in Christ”, then there would be no need for Paul to admonish, remind or exhort those who continue to live in the flesh and not the spirit. Paul even says that it is possible for a believer to backslide and get out of step with the spirit:
“Since we live by the spirit, let us stay in step with the spirit, Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying one another.” Galatians 5:25
Notice, what Paul is saying. He is warning believers that it is possible to live sinful lives if we continue to live in the flesh. Why would he warn believers of committing certain habitual sins if being fruitful was an automatic response. It is sad, but it is possible and there are many examples of believers throughout the old and new testament who showed very little evidence (if any) of a life of good works (Solomon, Saul, Lott, Samson, the carnal Corinthians, and the thief on the cross for example).
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24
This verse is good news because Jesus makes it clear that those who “believe” have (not will) passed from death to life at a single instance in time. It would not be everlasting life if it depended on some kind of “final salvation” as John Piper likes to add. This kind of error only causes confusion and it robs the believer of the joy that comes with the “simplicity” that is in Christ. If Piper’s assertion is correct, then there would be no way of knowing whether one is saved until a few seconds before they die. But 1 John 5:13 says that we can know: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
The gospel is simple. We cannot rob others of that “simplicity” just because we are afraid that some people will take advantage of grace. Paul was accused of being an antinomian three times because he preached grace to the edge. He preached grace in a way that could easily be misinterpreted to mean that it does not matter if we sin because “where sin increased grace abounded all the more”, (Romans 5:12). However, he goes on to say we are not to abuse grace:
“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13
Reformed theologian Paul Washer says that …”those who have professed Christ and are living in continuous state of carnality without the least evidence of Holy Spirit convicting them of sin – it is because they are not saved…”
This is a clear example of back-loading the gospel with works which always leads to fruit inspection. Always! I read recently the following quote from a anonymous blog: “Paul Washer sets himself up as the Lord and judge, determining whether or not he can see a person is a believer by their actions, even after the person has professed his faith in Jesus Christ. He completely ignores the clear teaching of the carnality of the Corinthian believers, contentious, etc.”
“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:1
“What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness? 1 Corinthians 3:1
“It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.” 1 Corinthians 4:21-5:1
Washer’s message is essentially preaching the Lordship salvation message of John MacArthur, which is, if a believer does not turn from sin before and after he trusts Christ and does not live the “Christian life,” according to their rules then he cannot be a believer.
“And to the one who does not work but believes in[a] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works” Romans 4:5-6
Theologian Jody Dillow was once asked by a co-worker (who strongly denied that the Bible teaches the existence of the carnal Christian):
“Jody can you show me even one verse that proves that a born again believer will not persevere in a life of good works until the final hour.” I said, sure and turned to the following words from Christ, “Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches other to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. “
He goes on to say, “Jesus had been accused of abolishing the Law. To the contrary, He says that even the least important laws must be obeyed. He says that the individual in this verse will be “in” the kingdom, that is, saved; but he has not only disobeyed even the least of these commandments, but he has also actively taught others to do the same! He himself not only “disobeys” the Law (abolish) but he actually causes the little ones to stumble (as in Matt 18:6). He is a dangerous teacher for he is saying that God said things He did not say, thus incurring the judgement of James 3:1. He is a saved person, but will have the lowest status. He finished life a failure – he is a carnal Christian.”
” …To the degree that someone bases his assurance on his works, he moves from a God-centered, grace based perspective of his security to a man-centered, performance-based perspective.” Roger Fankhauser
There is only one thing that is required of those who seek to be born again and that is to “believe” or put another way to humble oneself enough in order to receive God’s free gift of salvation; to say “God have mercy on me, for I am a sinner”. There is no formula or magical words that we can add. I once heard someone say, “If only I had down sized to a smaller house and fed the poor like Francis Chan, surrendered everything with a heart felt sorrow like Paul Washer, persevered to the end in order to receive “final salvation” like John Piper, or were as fruitful as John MacArthur then I would be saved.” This is Lordship Salvation and it is not the gospel. The psychological effects of Lordship theology can be devastating – see here. I believe these men of faith have much to add to our walk as believers but are confused about our position in Christ.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27“Yes, LORD,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 11:25-27
Notice Mary knew exactly what Christ meant by “believe” and Jesus neither admonishes her or corrects her for her answer.
if you still have questions and want to be sure you have eternal life then this is a good place to start: https://faithalone.org/tracts/you-can-be-sure-2/
Thank you Jesus, have mercy on me for I am a sinner! Help me to never again be subject to the yoke of slavery and help me to never grow weary of doing good.
How does one know if his faith is even real?
That is a great question Rob. I believe we can tell whether a faith is active and working once we become believers. If we continue to walk in the spirit that is what we will see. If we walk in the flesh our faith will be useless (dead) and our works will be burned up in the end. However, I don’t think that is a question that is relevant to our justification before God. If so, then how do we know that the tax collector or the thief on the crosses faith was real? The tax collector was justified (instantly) because he was humble enough to accept a free gift. He felt the weight of his sins and knew he needed a savior.
I’ve been seeking assurance for over 30 years, not finding it. I’ll have to wait until I die I guess, but I doubt I will be in the company of the saints. To have assurance one must not only believe but know that he believes. One has to be able to look withing and see his own faith, which I cannot do. It’s exceedingly hard to be saved, despite what some say.
Thank you for the response Rob. The tax collector, the prodigal son, the adulterous woman and the thief on the cross were justified immediately and for no other reason other than the fact that they had repented (changed their minds about their sinful state and need for a savior) and believed on him who justifies. This act alone was accredited to them as righteousness. You are right that it was costly and there is no way that we can attain salvation on our own (or contribute to it in anyway) because His standard is perfection. In other words, not only is it hard, but it is impossible. But thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord whose blood covers repentant sinners who are no longer trying to get there on their own. Notice in the following verse that Paul admits that he struggles with sin as a believer. Notice what he says that delivers him from the penalty of sin – it is not human effort.
“So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Romans 7:21-25
Also, the New Testament says that we can know whether we are saved. We do not have to live in the torture of not knowing like some religions preach. I do not know about you but that would not be “good news”. 1 John 5:13 says: “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1
Thanks for the response. I just have to hope at this point that I’m “in.” I’ve never had assurance of salvation, and after so many years that does something to a person, mainly it hardens the heart. I don’t feel guilt over my sin anymore, and I feel much anger towards God. Salvation is not free from my point of view, if it was God would just give it to me without the need for me to be sure I believe.
To receive salvation just because we are alive is universalism which is not the Gospel. We must believe that Christ promise is true and accept the free gift. Some people will not accept the free gift because they still believe they must do something to earn it. This article was helpful for me to better understand assurance. https://faithalone.org/grace-in-focus-articles/assurance-made-simple/
Rob, certain things were written so we could know that we have eternal life. So it makes sense to get into His Word, and pray while you are studying. Trust Him. He is not a man that He should lie. He promised us eternal life if we would believe Him. We know if we have believed who He said He is, and what He did for us. We know if we believed that His offer of eternal life is free and is the only way to be saved. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word. I think there is a reason the armor of God includes shodding our feet daily with the preparation of the gospel of peace. We need to be reminded of Who He is and what He has done. He wants us to be sure of what we have believed, however many times people had their faith overthrown or were led astray by people who were telling them something differently. It makes sense to be a Berean (Acts 17:11) and not just trust another person, but to check for ourselves. Praying for you.
Thanks Brady 🙂
Thank you Holly! Your input is always welcome here!

The Catholic Conference of Illinois produces occasional videos on public policy issues important to the Church. Our YouTube channel can be found at http://www.youtube.com/user/CatholicConfIL.
We also post videos of Catholic interest.
Archbishop-designate Blase Cupich held a press conference on Sept. 22, 2014, two days after he was named the successor to Cardinal George. He had been attending a seminar sponsored by Catholic Extension. He shares his thoughts on the Church's mission.
When unaccompanied minors come to the United States, Catholic Charities and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Migration and Refugee Services Office step up to the plate to care for and place the children. This short, 5-minute video tells the story of two young men — one from El Salvador, and the other from Sudan — who are now living successfully in the United States.
This snappy video from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops outlines what you need to know about the 2014 Fortnight for Freedom, which features a theme of "Freedom to Serve."
Catholic Conference of Illinois and Lewis University have teamed up to develop a Prison Ministry Leadership Curriculum. Students participate in workshops and online classes during the 15-month program, which culminates in certification from the American Catholic Correctional Chaplains Association, an organization accredited by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Students from across the state met for their first workshop in August 2013, and will complete the program in October 2014. The program is one of only two such curricula nationwide that has been certified by the ACCCA.
The program grew out of a need for more formal training identified by the Catholic Conference’s Prison and Jail Ministry Network. Dr. Christie Billups of Lewis University and Fr. Christian Reuter, OFM, of the Belleville diocese served as architects of the new curriculum under the guidance of CCI’s Director of Social Services/Social Justice Marilou Gervacio.

Music Together® classes
What are the classes like?
Music Together is an eight or ten weekly, 45-minute classes which include songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement and instrument play. It is an informal, non-performance-oriented musical experiment which supports everyone's unique learning styles, developmental levels, to create a sense of musical community.
You and your child will have an opportunity to create and improvise, move and share musical experience from home.
I can't sing or dance. Is that okay?
YES! Remember, you are the rock star in your child's eyes. Regardless of your musical ability, your participation will help your child find the love for music. We provide a safe space for experimentation and to be silly. Once you're comfortable, feel free to join and feel closer to your child through play.
Music Together for Expecting Parents
As a mother or father-to-be, it’s nice to know that your baby will be truly responsive to music even before they’re born. Because they begin to hear and respond to sound in the womb, most babies’ sense of hearing is well developed at birth, and they are already alert to musical sounds—especially the voice of a parent singing! Just as your baby will be ready to learn language, they will be equally prepared to learn music.
Soon after birth, your baby may cry, giggle, coo, and squeal with excitement—all of which help prepare them for expressing themselves musically someday. They’re receptive to music, too. Studies show that babies perceive differences in loudness and melody, respond to tempo changes, and sense when a song is ending. They often move physically when music starts or stops and may show a startle response when the music ends—even in their sleep.
Music Together Mixed Ages
Music Together was the first early childhood music program to offer music classes for mixed ages. Child development researchers have known for a long time that the natural, family-style environment of mixed-age classes is the best way for young children to learn. In our experience, it works! In Mixed-Age classes, the older children love to show what they know, and the younger ones love to watch and imitate. The relaxed, no-pressure environment lets all kids learn at their own pace.
Music Together Babies Only
In the Music Together Babies class, for infants from birth through 8 months, you'll learn a lot of fun musical activities for babies. You'll also learn to recognize which of your baby's behaviors are musical so that you can support their development at the time when your baby's brain is at its most receptive.
Singing and dancing with your baby is a beautiful way for the two of you to bond. And making music with other parents of newborns is a great way to make new friends in your community who are as sleep deprived as you!
You are not sure if Music Together is right for you and your child? No problem!
Join us for a demo class and discover the fun!
Demo classes will be offered prior to registration each semester.
Parents will have to enroll their children to secure a spot in the demo class.
Contact us to try a class. All demo classes are free.
How should we use the Music Together materials?
Play your songs at home and in the car frequently, especially during the first few weeks of class. Make the music available for your child to listen to while she is playing or before nap or bedtime.
Create your Family Music Zone® account and download the Hello Everybody app for digital versions of the songs and more activity ideas to try!
Use the songbook to help you learn the songs and get new ideas for musical ideas to use at home. The music notation can be found in the Family Music Zone, if you play an instrument and want to play along.

The Free One:
On both Eponymous and The Second Album there has been one cover song. One Eponymous it was Gerda’s Gone, by my uncle, Barny Van Valin. On The Second Album it was Cowboys and Pirates, by family friend Michael McGinnis. I’ve decided that for the twelfth song of each year, I’ll honor one of my musical influences with one of their own tunes I love so much. It will always be a cover, it will always be someone I know personally, and it will always be an awesome song.
So enjoy my fumbling stylings of this year’s inaugural Special Session: Jennifer. A song my father, Scott Mitchell Brownlee, wrote in a phone booth in 1972 while he was waiting for his band manager to call him back. Around 2003 I heard him play it for the first time while our family was hanging out in a hotel room at the Glacier National Park, and I burst into tears. Ever since I’ve been sharing it with special friends in special situations, and now it’s the first Special Session.
Incidentally, my dad has 40 or so years of recording/producing experience and was additionally awesome in making the session happen last night.
Scott and Pamela Brownlee live in the beautiful state of Washington and during summers run a Cowboy Supper Show called the Rockin’ B Ranch (<–if you click on this you’ll get some insight on my upbringing). The Rockin’ B will have two more shows this year before closing its show doors indefinitely (Oct 9 & 10). It’s ridiculously worth traveling for:

Czechs beat Belarus 3:0 at ice hockey worlds
The Czech Republic beat Belarus 3:0 at the Ice Hockey World Championships in Denmark on Friday evening. It was the Czechs’ fourth victory in the tournament but the first in which they took maximum points. All three goals, from Libor Šulák, Roman Horák and Michal Řepík, came in the first period. Goaltender Pavel Francouz achieved his fifth shutout for the national team.
That result leaves coach Josef Jandač’s team third in Group A at the worlds. Their next game is against France on Sunday.


It runs under it's own power! I still need to install the new clutch slave cylinder and bleed the clutch system, and I'm still waiting on a replacement radiator since the one I got from Rockauto leaks, but I got the DW300 fuel pump installed today and finally cranked the damn car up.
I should get the clutch stuff done by this weekend but the radiator won't be here until Monday. I might can fill the leaky radiator up with water and take it around the block, we'll see how brave I feel when the time comes, but all that really matters is it's a real live running car. I didn't even mess up the timing belt or anything!

Few subgenres can set the pulse racing like German metal. German bands — Accept, Rammstein, Scorpions — tend to perform in ways that skew them toward symphonic and danceable angles. While most other metal groups make you want to bang your head, German bands make you want to sing opera and swing your partner. Teutonic rock gods Destruction sound a bit more abrasive — rocking out faster, harder, and tighter than the rest of its ilk. It seems like yesterday face-melting classic album "Release from Agony" hit the shelves, but unbelievably Destruction is out to (presumably) destroy North America with its 30th anniversary tour.
Destruction performs with Krisiun and Exmortus on Friday, April 11, 6:30 p.m. at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St. Tickets are $20 via Frontgatetickets.com.

Anushka Sharma has time and again made heads turn with her charms and candid photos. The actress is blessed with a beautiful smile and she is not afraid to flaunt it. While Anushka can rock the hot and sultry look, the lady is many times too cute too handle and pulls off her fun avatar effortlessly as well. In the recent magazine shoot, the ever gorgeous actress was seen flaunting her two sides and her fans were hooked with her every single look.
While she was a breath of fresh air on the cover of the magazine, the lady is looking even more beautiful in all the photos she shared on her social media handle. Dressed in a floral skirt, with her hair flying with the wind, Anushka's look is fresh, trendy and super summery.
From beautiful floral strappy dresses to floral skirts and blouses, we are as much in love with both her photos as well as her outfits for the shoot. Take a look at the photos shared by the diva on her social media handle right here:
In the same issue of the magazine, the actress revealed how she used fake names while booking the venue for her wedding because she wanted to keep it a very secret affair. Talking about the same she said "We wanted to have a home-style wedding. There were only 42 people there, with all our friends and family present. I wanted it to be about Virat and me marrying each other, and not this big celebrity wedding. The energy at our wedding was blessed,” she told Vogue India. “I think Virat’s was Rahul.”

Pat McCann has no plans to check out from Dalata
At 67, Sligoman is planning for expansion with Dalata rather than retirement
Dalata Hotel Group chief executive Pat McCann. Photograph: Maxwell Photography.
Despite being in a position to draw the State pension and avail of the free bus pass, Dalata chief executive and co-founder Pat McCann appears to have no intention of retiring from the Republic’s largest hotel group.
McCann (67), presided over a strong set of results on Tuesday in which the company posted an increase in profits of 13 per cent to €87.3 million and a revenue rise of 11.8 per cent to €393.7 million. Its share price has had a good run recently, up 27 per cent in the year to date.
Since its foundation, McCann has been an integral part of the 40-hotel-strong group, guiding it to become the biggest hotel chain here, with a growing presence in the UK. McCann said this week that he has his eye on the City of London for opportunities. So far, the group has amassed a portfolio of three London hotels, two of which are in peripheral locations, with one in the prime financial hub.
Even Brexit can’t faze McCann, who turns 68 in September. “People are spending a fortune planning for something they’ve no idea what they’re planning for,” the sage of the Irish hotel industry told Cantillon. “You can do scenarios until you’re blue in the face and still end up with the wrong answer.”
His view on all those courses helping business people to get Brexit ready? “They’re a load of old rot.”
As to his own career, McCann has no plans to retire. “I’ve said to my board that when they see me becoming a dothery old git they should turf me out.”
Otherwise, he has “no plans”.
With plenty of headroom for expansion and a pay package last year of €1.7 million, McCann has every reason to keep going.

Readmission Penalties Set to Take Effect
Arndt attended the invitation-only HealthLeaders Media CFO Exchange last week in Kiawah Island, SC, to discuss topics such as readmissions rates, cost reduction, and mergers and acquisitions with some of the nation's top healthcare financial leaders.
"When you involve patients and families more in the process and there's more education pre-discharge, it goes a long way [toward preventing a readmission]. We also embrace the concept that a discharge is not a discharge, but the next step in the transition into the continuum of care. We stay connected with the patient when they leave the hospital," adds Arndt.
Patient-centered care and care coordination programs have sprouted at many hospitals nationwide, though at some hospitals the initiatives came after CMS began tracking readmission rates.
For the last few years the federal government has been gathering readmissions data on hospitals nationally, in an effort to decrease the 19% national average readmissions rate.

PanKind Partnered Trials
Clinical trials are carefully designed research studies which aim to find out if a new treatment or procedure is safe and effective. The following studies are not managed by the PanKind. They are managed by academic research groups who will ensure that their findings are made public through research publications for the benefit of all.
Research by nature is exploratory. Our endorsement of these studies does not pre-suppose positive outcomes of the study.
If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial, please speak to your doctor to make sure that it is right for you.
Caring for someone diagnosed with pancreatic cancer can be very difficult; many people have a high need for extra support. The Pancreatic cancer Relatives Counselling and Education Support Service or PRoCESS trial aims to explore whether talking to a trained nurse-counsellor via video or phone is helpful. Learn more here.
Improving supportive care for people with pancreatic cancer - help design a research study
If you are a person who has been diagnosed with, a family member, or are caring for someone with pancreatic cancer, we would really value having your help to design a new nurse-led model of follow up care.
The purpose of our study is to improve access to specialist nurse-led care for people affected by pancreatic cancer. Our study aims to design a telehealth model of specialist nurse-led care to improve access to cancer supportive care for people affected by pancreatic cancer.
We are looking to recruit people who have experience of pancreatic cancer as a patient, family member or carer to take part in two online workshops. Once developed and tested, the aim is to roll out this model nationally.
In the workshops, we will ask you to help develop the new telehealth model of nurse-led care, using your experience to tell us how the new model should work; what the nurses should ask; how often should they call, etc. The first workshop will bring patients, family members and/or carers together to share their views, and then in the second we will bring patients, family members and/or carers and health care professionals together to agree on the details of the new model of care.
The workshops will be on ZOOM and will go for no more than one and a half hours. The workshops will be spaced about four weeks apart. There are no costs associated with participating in this research project, nor will you be paid.
To express your interest in taking part or to ask any questions about the project please contact the Project Officer, Priscilla Gates, Peter Mac Callum Cancer Centre - email@example.com
Are you a health professional that works with patients with pancreatic cancer?
The purpose of this survey is to ask clinicians about their experience with prescribing and monitoring pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in patients post-pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), Whipple’s procedure, and with advanced pancreatic cancer. You may know PERT medication as CREON.
We are interested in how clinicians decide when to commence a patient on PERT, how decisions are made regarding dosing and timing, and how the efficacy of PERT is monitored. Your responses will help us to conduct further research, with the goal of improving the care of people living with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI).
Learn more, and complete the survey here.
If you have any questions, please contact Sophie Hooke (Student Researcher) – firstname.lastname@example.org.
The Pancreatic Cancer Pathways to Diagnosis Study (the Pathways Study) aims to talk to people who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to gain a detailed understanding of the ways in which Australians reach their diagnosis. This will help us to develop strategies to help future patients receive their diagnosis quickly.
What does participation involve?
- Completing a questionnaire, on a paper form or online. The questionnaire asks about factors such as education and lifestyle, and also includes an assessment of how people have adjusted to their diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
- Taking part in an interview, either by telephone or using zoom videoconferencing. In the interview we will ask detailed information about symptoms, and the pathway to diagnosis.

1. You must have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that is currently medically inoperable, borderline resectable, locally advanced or locally recurrent. We can treat metastatic pancreatic cancer with controlled disease and also progressing primary disease.
2. You must be otherwise in reasonable health and able to have an MRI scan.
3. As each treatment can take over an hour, you must be comfortable lying within the MR-Linac for that length of time.

Rebuilding for resilience: Q&A with Make It Right's Tom Darden
USGBC's new free report, LEED in Motion: Residential, highlights the numbers, knowledge and resources you need to keep pace with the rapidly growing green residential market.

Make it Right believes everyone has the right to live in a high-quality, healthy home that enhances the natural environment. Tom Darden leads efforts to rebuild safe, sustainable homes in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward—and beyond.
Q. What led you to the field of green buildings and specifically, green homes?
A. I was building homes in North Carolina when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and devastated communities like the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. Like so many people from all over the country and around the world, I wanted to do whatever I could to help out. So, with some friends, I offered to do a feasibility analysis on some ideas Brad Pitt had for rebuilding. I met Brad through Bill McDonough, an architect and co-author of the book Cradle to Cradle, which Brad had read. Brad wanted to build the greenest houses in the world and so he asked amazing architects like Bill, Frank Gehry, David Adjaye and others to donate their time to help families who lost everything in the storm to build back better and more sustainably. I thought I would volunteer for a few weeks and now I’ve been working with Make It Right for over seven years!
Q. What has enabled you and Make It Right to be so successful in making green, LEED Platinum homes affordable for everyone? What advice do you have for those looking to do the same?
A. When we started Make It Right to help families in need, our goal was to build the best homes possible and to figure out how to make them affordable. In other words, we set the bar high and challenged ourselves and our partners to find ways to achieve the goal of affordability while refusing to compromise on quality. That approach led to lots of little innovations and strategies; we’ve posted many of these on our website to share lessons learned with anyone interested in affordable green homes. Generally, I would encourage others not to ask, “How much will it cost me to build green?” Instead, figure out how green you want to be and then get creative about how to get there affordably.
Q. Why is it important to rebuild New Orleans with sustainability in mind?
A. When we started the design process, we learned a lot by looking at traditional New Orleans designs that were inherently sustainable. Very old homes in New Orleans that have survived hurricane after hurricane were elevated when they were first built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Sustainability is not a new idea—people used to think about designing for the climate where they were building. But unfortunately, too often in affordable housing, low cost trumped safety and durability. We wanted to get back to the approach of assessing and understanding the risks in any particular location, and then designing and building homes that mitigate that risk to the greatest extent possible. In any environment where there’s an opportunity to rebuild, whether it’s turning an abandoned building into a community asset like we’ve done in Kansas City, or working in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward, the goal is to build better and more sustainably.
Q. What’s been the most exciting or impactful green home project that you’ve worked on?
A. We’ve built over 200 LEED Platinum units ourselves and helped others with many more, so that’s a tough question! One of my favorite recent projects was a design competition, in collaboration with AIA, Clinton Global Initiative and other non-profits. The goal was to design and build affordable, sustainable housing templates for communities rebounding from disasters—like Joplin, New York/New Jersey and New Orleans. Make It Right provided the base design guidelines for the competition. The first home is under construction now in Rockaway, Queens. I like this collaboration because it builds on what we’ve learned over the years instead of reinventing the wheel. I think it’s critical that we continue to share what we’ve learned with the industry—mistakes as well as successes—so that collectively, we can make safe, healthy, sustainable homes affordable and available for everyone.
Q. How do you envision the future of the green homes movement? What’s in the cards and how will we get there?
A. My hope would be that those of us working to make green homes and buildings ubiquitous work ourselves out of a job. In other words, every home needs be a green home. To me, that means a home that operates in harmony with people and the environment—providing beautiful shelter that is durable, safe, made of Cradle to Cradle materials, produces clean water, generates more energy than it consumes and contributes positively to the health and well-being of its occupants. At Make It Right, that’s our goal.
To get there, we need tools like LEED that evolve and continually improve. We can’t sit back and be satisfied just because we achieved LEED Platinum. We need to continue to push ourselves to the next level.

About 82% of women wear make-up often because it makes them feel more self-confident, but it’s not the only trick up their sleeve. Some women decide that they need a more permanent solution. Botox has come a long way from it’s status as an unspoken beauty treatment for fine lines for skin. One study on over 14.2 million non-invasive cosmetic procedures for that year found that injections using Botulinum Toxin A was the most popular at 6.7 million procedures administered. This showed an increase of just 1% from 2014, but a 759% increase from 2000.
But botox injections for face wrinkles is not the only way to use it. Botox for migraines has increased in popularity. If you are currently suffering from chronic migraine headaches, here’s what you’ll need to know.
How Does Botox For Migraines Work?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved botox for migraine headaches in 2010. Unlike dermal fillers, botox “freezes” the muscles around the face. In the case of botox for migraines, injections are placed strategically around the face and neck at nerve sites to act as a block for release of chemical receptors. The injections stop the pain before it starts, but doesn’t actually prevent the actual migraine from occurring.
Isn’t a Migraine Like Every Other Migraine?
Botox for migraines is not a miracle cure. The procedure works best on chronic migraines, which are defined as those that happen for at least eight days out of every 15 or more days. Migraines that happen less often, 14 or fewer days, are called episodic migraines. The process also does not help other types of headaches such as tension headaches or cluster headaches.
How Often You’ll Need to See a Doctor For Injections.
You may not know this, but your body absorbs botox injections. After a certain period of time, about three to four months, the botox slowly wears away. The patient must then decide if they want more injections. In the case of botox for migraines, this means the patient must see their doctor for a touch up about every 12 weeks or so.
Botox as a treatment, whether to treat fine lines in skin or for migraines, is not a permanent solution. Patients must decide if the risks and the repeated appointments are worth it. But in the case of chronic migraines, it is one procedure that can provide a measure of relief.

When you start to live in alignment with what’s true for you, life becomes so much simpler. It’s easier to say no when you mean no. It takes away the murkiness between people and around situations that might have left you scratching your head in the past, because now, you can just open your mouth and say, “I feel really weird. What’s going on?” It gives you the power to direct your energy, because you know what you want, and so do the people in your life. You don’t have to waste time or energy making excuses for yourself, or anyone else.
It’s not always easy to get there, and you can multiply that by nine million if you have certain tendencies, like people-pleasing, or feeling you aren’t supposed to be taking up any space. There are genuine problems in life; all we have to do is read the paper for three minutes to verify that, but a lot of the problems people grapple with are self-created. Not all of them, so let’s be clear. There are heartbreaking, piercingly painful losses we endure sometimes, and some people more than others, but I’m not talking about that right now. I’m talking about a loud inner critic you may have been living with your entire life. A relentless voice inside your head that is unforgiving and full of should. I’m talking about ideas you may have about yourself that are blocking your ability to be happy, to be at peace.
What stops us from listening to our hearts, and calmly but confidently moving in the direction we know we must if we want to rock it out in this life? Fear. Fear that we aren’t enough. Fear that our deepest desires may not be in line with what others had hoped we would want. Fear of hurting the people we love. Fear of trying, and failing. Fear of change and of loss. Fear of proving to ourselves that we aren’t able to do it, after all.
Here’s the thing. You’re alive. You’re living this life, and it’s going to feel good, or it isn’t. Ways it will definitely not feel good: If you let your shoulds rule your life. If you don’t try because you might not pull it off. If you allow yourself or other people to talk you out of your dreams. If you never act on your own behalf because you don’t feel good about yourself. If you believe everything you think, especially the nasty, mean-spirited stuff. If you marinate yourself in envy or bitterness or rage. If you keep a mental list of every way you’ve ever been wronged, betrayed, abandoned, and disappointed. If you never let anyone know you, really know you because you’re so caught up in worrying about what people would think if you dropped the mask. These are all ways life will feel very long and painful.
Ways that life will feel good: If you take ownership of the one thing you can, namely, how you face what you’ve been given. If you look your pain, losses, heartbreaks and betrayals in the face and say, okay. That happened. That hurt. Here’s what I’ve learned from these experiences, here’s how I’ve grown, here’s how I’ve become more empathetic and compassionate as a result. If you remind yourself every single day of all the things you do have, right now. If you remember to let the people in your life know how you feel about them. If you feel the fear of not being enough, but go for it, anyway. Because you’re going to be here, right? You’re going to be living these days, and living truthfully feels a lot better than living in fear or blame or powerlessness. Maybe all your dreams will come true, and maybe they won’t, but you’ll feel a lot better about yourself if you’re following your heart. It’s not like tomorrow is promised, or that life is going to start somewhere out ahead of us after we get everything figured out. Life is happening right now, this minute.
If you’re stopping yourself from following your intuition, it’s time to get some support. We all need that sometimes. It might be a teacher who inspires you, or reading something that raises your consciousness, or it might be a good time to try therapy, but I wouldn’t just wait for things to get better magically. You know the saying right? If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting. If what you’ve been doing isn’t working out so well, it’s time to try something else.
There’s only one of you. I really do not believe you’re here by accident. You have something to offer only you can, but you won’t be able to do that if fear is blocking you at every turn, or if that voice inside your head tells you you can’t. I can share with you that for me, personally, yoga was the way I eroded that inner voice that was so harsh and critical and relentless. I got on my mat, and I just didn’t feed that. I didn’t heed it, either. I kept feeding a loving, patient kind voice. For me, I needed an experience that was happening in my body. I needed the visceral feeling of hitting a challenge and seeing what came up for me. It wasn’t pretty or easy. It took a number of years, but knowing yourself and accepting yourself is certainly worth the investment of a few years, right? Developing a healthy, happy relationship with yourself is the thing, wouldn’t you say? I can tell you it feels a helluva lot better having a voice in my head that roots for me, than one that tears me down and says I’m unlovable at my core. Life does not have to feel that way, but you have to meet yourself where you are. It won’t get better unless you get off your a$$ and make it better. That’s the truth. You have to work, but what better use of your time is there than to make the world within you a more peaceful, loving, kind, compassionate place to be? So you can make the world around you, and between you and those you love, a more peaceful place to be; what’s more pressing than that? If you need help along these lines, try this series, or if you’re looking for community, interaction and support, you still have 48 hours to sign up for my next online course! See if that sparks something within you, but don’t let life go by for too long feeling stuck. We don’t have forever.
Sending you so much love,

The series will begin on 1st November with a four-strong launch comprising Gerald Griffin’s thriller THE COLLEGIANS, Sapper’s detective novel BULLDOG DRUMMOND, RAFFLES by E W Hornung, and Charles Dickens’ BLEAK HOUSE, which Atlantic describes as “the first detective novel”.Nice. Meanwhile, here’s the blurb elves on THE COLLEGIANS:
Thereafter, the publisher will launch a book every month—including titles by Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Sheridan Le Fanu and G K Chesterton—until at least the end of 2009.
This romantic melodrama set in rural Killarney in the early 19th century was based on a real case of 1829. Its impressive Irish locations, thrilling characters, complex plot involving love, rivalry, secrecy, betrayal, and impressive denouement made it into one of the most successful thrillers of its day. Recently home from college, young Hardess Cregan rescues poor but striking Eily O’Connor and her father from an unruly mob in the street, with the help of his hunchback foster-brother and sidekick, Danny Mann. Although he is courting his wealthy cousin, Anne Chute, he is smitten by Eily’s beauty. And to complicate matters further, his friend and fellow collegian, Kyrle, is also in love with Anne - and vying hard with him for her attentions. He secretly marries Eily, but her unsophisticated ways soon begin to anger him. And - arrogant and full of roguish self-confidence - when his mother starts to push him into the very advantageous marriage with Anne, he starts to reconsider his choices ... Married to one, engaged to another: can Hardess extricate himself from this impasse? It seems he’s trapped - until Danny suggests that perhaps if Eily were to ‘disappear’, his problems would be solved ...You just don’t get many hunchback foster-brother sidekicks to the pound these days, do you?

Despite the many plot contrivances and the fact that so much seems to just click into place for these people, this last aspect is sufficient reason to read Bradford's dual-period novel, which is an enticing advertisement for visiting the multi-ethnic city on the Bosphorus.
In 2004, Justine Nolan, an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker, gets the shock of her life when she opens a letter indicating that her beloved grandmother, Gabriele, is still alive. Ten years earlier, Justine's mother, Deborah, had told her and her twin brother Richard that their Gran had been killed in a plane crash. They were devastated (yet apparently didn't question it further, seek out news clippings, etc).
The mysterious letter has no return address. Its postmark propels Justine on a searching journey to Istanbul, where Gabriele had once run a successful import-export business. There, in a picture-perfect pink yali (villa) on the Asian side of the ancient river, Justine discovers more than she bargained for: not only the reasons for her mother's cruel estrangement from Gabriele, but the tragic past that Gabriele had kept hidden for sixty years. She also finds love.
Less than a quarter of the novel takes place in historic times, and these segments are fragmented and choppily written by design, but they sit at the story's center. Gabri's secrets aren't that hard to guess, and they explain, as Justine learns, why she always sought to surround herself with beautiful things. Istanbul is the star here, and the descriptions of its historic Byzantine architecture, local cuisine (the cheese-and-herb-filled pastry triangles known as börek), luxurious gardens, and scenes of the river at nightfall make for a refreshing, almost intoxicating experience:
"How beautiful the Bosphorus looked at this hour. The sun was setting and the deep blue waters of the straits rippled with rafts of crimson, pink, and gold, and the sky was aflame along the rim of the far horizon."
The characters have a tendency to over-dramatize, and they themselves remark on the coincidental flukes that seem to happen in their privileged lives – almost as many times as they call Deborah a flake. Even her two children believe that Deborah, who fortunately remains absent for most of the novel, is a nasty piece of work; it seems impossible that she could get any worse, but somehow she does. Yet the underlying story carries a power of its own, gliding readers along smoothly until the obligatory happy ending. Bring it to the beach, or read it in the garden under the summer sun.
Letter from a Stranger was published by St. Martin's Press in March at $27.99 / $31.99 Can (hardcover, 422pp). In the UK, it's out in paperback from Harper at £7.99.

Sometimes I think about men who sanctimoniously say their favorite movie is The Prestige and I’m like, you frauds could never handle a Taylor Swift pre-album clue trail. Fans of Westworld, Marvel, and DC combined have nothing on Swifties, the official sleuth cult of Taylor Swift. On April 13, Swift dropped a 13-day countdown clock on her social media, signaling something big and mysterious to come on April 26, and also confirming what the Swifties have long prophesied: the dawn of TS7, the singer-songwriter’s seventh studio album.
Swift has been dangling TS7 carrots in front of our treadmill since New Year’s Day — but prior to April 13, the day of the “official” announcement, Swifties who’d prematurely sounded the alarm just frankly sounded a little nutty. As it turns out, the naysayers were the fools. I explored all of the psychotic fan theories about TS7, at first joyously, then painstakingly, until my contacts shriveled and fell into my bra. Here’s everything we can cull about the new music from fan theories about all of the ridiculous bread crumbs she’s been leaving.
The Pastel Color Story
I want to zoom out before I shove you head first down the TS7 K-hole — a broad glimpse at the beast we’re dealing with. When Swift first started posting new photos on social media in February, her color palette shifted violently, a return to “screaming color,” if you will. Taylor Swift loves a color story: The Reputation epoch was marked in black and white, spliced with moody reds and venomous greens — stark, powerful colors that reflected the themes of the album (power, taking control, resolute declarations of love, lust, and the ends of eras). I mean, this warlock has an album called Red, and the title track is basically about synesthesia.
Since February, her Instagram has been painted pastel — sunny yellows, sea foams, violets, and millennial pinks — a color scheme redolent of the “old Taylor” (once pronounced dead), the Romeo and Juliet, “spinning like a girl in a brand-new dress,” wonderstruck Taylor. Even her recent Time and Elle U.K. covers fit her Instagram’s color story. All signs predict that, lyrically and sonically, TS7 will be a return to her days of girlish lusting: uplifting, hopeful, pure, optimistic, brimming with love and daydreams and crushes and new dawns that follow dark times. The actual composition, the music, will likely differ from Reputation, too — she may return to the more strummy sounds of Red or Speak Now, rather than the dark, moody synths and swirling electronic harmonies of her latest album. But also, that “screaming color” reference is from 1989 — so maybe the album will be pure pop!
On the topic of Speak Now, the background art for every single Taylor Swift song on Spotify has changed to display her “4.26” countdown, except for “The Story of Us,” which is the seventh song on Speak Now (seven = TS7), and that song’s run time is 4:26. “The Story of Us” also contains the phrase “next chapter,” which Swift coyly (and purposefully) uttered when accepting an award at the AMAs in October. “I’m even more excited for the next chapter,” she said — maybe the first public hint at TS7.
The Incomprehensible Instagram Imagery
But if you look past the pastel aesthetic and focus on the actual images she’s been sharing, they’re pretty bananas. On Swift’s Instagram, we’ve got chickens in sunglasses, businesswomen holding briefcases, studded hearts, ruched tutu fabric, manic beading and sequins, bike spokes, rainbow cobblestones, recurring butterflies — what does it all mean?! Some posit that Swift won’t even be dropping new music on April 26, that she could just be trolling us with a campy Target fashion line reveal. I disagree. Swift is like a mad pop-star scientist — everything is a cipher — and all of these images are connected somehow. (She’s even started wearing clothes with similar imagery, some of which look a whole lot like unreleased merch.) Stay with me Scullies, I’m going full Mulder: All these photos are likely behind-the-scenes screengrabs from a music video that’s going to drop on April 26.
If you look at the ground in the businesswomen photo, it matches the rainbow cobblestones in the other. Also, the studded heart seems to be juxtaposed against the ruched tutu fabric. And these two images were taken in the same location on the same day, if you look at her white shirt and blue sweater, and the white fence on the side of the tennis court. All of these pictures clearly exist in the same Taylor Swift cinematic universe. It has to be a music video, right? Or is it something bigger, like a documentary? Regardless, what would the video or documentary be about?! [Scampers across the room to my other Carrie Mathison pinboard.]
Kaylor Truthers and the Opal Symbolism
My personal favorite theory hails from the Kaylor shippers, the faction of Swifties that believes that Taylor Swift and her former BFF Karlie Kloss were romantically involved. The theory is that Swift has been dropping hints about her love for Karlie Kloss since the Reputation era. On Tuesday night, Kaylor shippers picked up on something crucial: During Taylor’s performance of “New Years Day” at the TIME 100 Gala, Swift seemingly changed the lyrics from “I want your midnights” to “I want her midnights” not once, but twice. “New Years Day” is the final track on Reputation, which, in theory, could segue into the “next chapter…”
Also, the Reputation CD skin pictures a collaged photo of the pop star — but Kaylors think it’s actually a dual image of Swift and Kloss, which sends the incognito message that they are one. That collage-image theme is bleeding into this new album cycle, too — we’ve seen it used again in photos from her Elle U.K. photo shoot. In the Reputation song “So It Goes,” Swift sings, “Cut me into pieces, gold cage hostage to my feelings, and our pieces fall right into place.” Swift loves a puzzle, and these images actually look like puzzle pieces. Plus, some Swifties hilariously posit that her Instagram of chickens wearing sunglasses was a reference to Taylor and Karlie in sunglasses — the “chicks,” if you will. She wants us to solve the Kaylor puzzle, you guys.
But Swift also loves hiding things in plain sight. Her April 14 Instagram depicts the singer wearing opal rings, as do her Time cover and photos of her from the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March, also posted on her ‘gram. Opals are known to symbolize love, seduction, desire, passion, faithfulness, and loyalty; they’re also believed to be “emotional stabilizers.” Yeah, I, too, would need an emotional stabilizer after falling in love with my model best friend who married into the Kushner family. Opal and pink tourmaline (depicted in this April 13 Instagram) are also the birthstones of October. Four of her six studio albums have been released in October; meanwhile, Kloss just so happened to have wed Joshua Kushner in, you guessed it, October.
And check this out: In an interview with Us Weekly in 2017, Swift said, “When I was bullied in school, my mom used to take me to T.J. Maxx after school to look at the opal jewelry. I thought opals were so beautiful, and somehow it made me feel better. We never bought them, just looked.” So, the opal rings might be symbolic of “feeling better.” Maybe, in Swift’s mind, she’s healing from the public beating she’s taken over the last few years. (The Reputation era was very transparently about overcoming that backlash.) Now, the wounds have been stitched up, and she’s stable and happy with herself again.
April 13 was not the first time Swift whispered about a “4.26” announcement. She penned an article for Elle back in March titled “30 Things I Learned Before Turning 30,” and fans have since realized that No. 26 on the list reads, “I make countdowns for things I’m excited about.” But wait, there’s more.
On January 1, Swift’s official fan club tweeted 115 rainbow emojis, captioned “another 2019 big mood.” The rainbows pointed to her new aesthetic — pastels, butterflies, sunshine, glittery hearts. But also, on January 1, there were 115 days until April 26. [Pulls down ceiling chain on attic door leading to another room of deranged pinboards.]
There’s also an official Taylor Swift 2019 calendar that many fans noticed had wax stamps on specific days: the 13th of April, May, July, August, and December (13 is Swift’s lucky number). Sure enough, April 13 was the day the countdown was announced. My guess is that each stamp marks another single release — or even music videos. This shit goes deep.
Fractured photographs, calendar play, and coded public statements aside, here’s where I started feeling crazy. April 13 is National Scrabble Day. In October 2018, Godlor fucking Swift posted a photo of her playing Scrabble with her mom, and captioned it “let the games BEGIN.” And on February 24, she posted a mysterious photo of seven palm trees and 61 stars. Again, seven = TS7. And, you guys, there are 61 days between February 24 and April 26. Do you see? Do you see??? [A gust of wind blusters through an open window and blows my papers all over the attic.] NO!!!! MY RESEARCH!!!!
If you got all the way through this without thinking, Ugh, her mind, then grow up. Taylor Swift is an adorable pop-star version of the guy from Saw, and we all extremely want to play the game.
