U.S. Poet Laureate, 2004-06
Awhile back, we published a poem about a mockingbird, but just because one poet has written a poem about something, he or she doesnít hold rights to the subject in perpetuity. Hereís another fine mockingbird poem from Carol V. Davis, who lives in Los Angeles.
How perfectly he has mastered
the car alarm, jangling us from sleep.
Later his staccato scatters smaller birds
that landed on the wire beside him.
Perhaps the key to success
is imitation, not originality.
Once, when the cat slinked up
the orange tree and snatched a hatchling,
the mockingbird turned on us,
marked us for revenge.
For two whole weeks he dive bombed
whenever I ventured out the screen door
lured by his call: first tricked into thinking
the soft coo was a mourning dove courting,
next drawn by the war cry of a far larger animal.
He swooped from one splintered eave, his mate from the other,
aiming to peck out my eyes, to wrestle
the baby from my arms, to do God knows what
with that newborn.

The small village of 'Whale Cove' is situated on part of north mountain along Digby Neck, overlooking the Bay of Fundy. The 'Cove' got its name because of the many whale sightings seen here over the years.
The Harbour is used by some local fishermen to moor or land their boats during fishing season or to do repairs. Boats fish for lobster in seasonas well as do other types of fishing. Other boats enter the harbour for various reasons.
Last year a group of adventurous 'Kayakers' came across the Bay of Fundy from New Brunswick to camp with us.
The Wharf is an attraction for tourists/visitors who love to have the experience of catching their own fish of the day. 'Mackeral' are often plentiful at certain times of the season.
The Rock Beach is a pleasure to explore. Bay of Fundy tides bring various kinds of treasures onto the beach. Many collectors roam for seaglass, agate and other types of rocks.
Whale Cove has 14 resident homes, with most of the folks having lived generations here for over 100 years. Folks are friendly and love meeting new people.You can see ducks, wild turkeys, chickens, and pets nearby.
Sunsets in Whale Cove are spectacular. A stroll through the village is a refreshing and relaxing one for all who do so.

St Vincent and the Grenadines will take its first step in examining the social, economic, health and legal implications surrounding the use of marijuana with three sets of workshops and a national consultation.
These consultations will run concurrently on Wednesday.
Concurrent consultation will be held with faith-based organizations, interest groups and the youth at the Administrative Complex at 9 a.m.
A national town hall meeting takes place at 7 p.m. at the Methodist Church Hall in Kingstown.
These sessions are being hosted by CARICOM, which has established a regional commission on marijuana and are expected to engage all segments of society including the youth, religious bodies, interest groups and the general population.
It is expected that consensus from these national consultations will inform CARICOM’s policy on the use of the drug and its implications.

Ally Financial seized an opportunity in its auto-lending business during the first quarter, but it also contended with the challenge of running an online-only bank at a time when some depositors are chasing higher yields.
The Detroit company on Thursday reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $250 million, up 14% from the first quarter of 2017.
Ally attributed the gains in part to a record $4.8 billion of originations on used-car loans during the quarter, up 14% from the same three-month period last year.
But profits were also dragged down somewhat by rising deposit costs.
Though retail deposits climbed 17% from the same period last year to $81.7 billion, the average rate it paid on those deposits increased 36 basis points to 1.45%.
Mark Palmer, an analyst at BTIG Partners, said in a research note that online-only banks may seem less compelling to consumers in a rising-rate environment. But he added that in order to maintain an edge as U.S. interest rates rise, Ally’s management team has been expecting to pay higher rates on deposits.
Ally’s shares were trading at $27.17 late Thursday, down 2.7% from Wednesday’s close.
There was brighter news for investors in Ally’s flagship auto-lending business.
Total originations increased 6.7% year over year, to $9.5 billion, and used-vehicle lending accounted for substantially all of the growth.
Once the auto-financing arm of General Motors, the $170 billion-asset Ally said it can no longer rely as heavily on loans to purchasers of new GM vehicles to drive profits.
“We’ve deliberately focused on growing our used originations,” Ally CEO Jeffrey Brown said Thursday during a conference call with analysts. “We like the characteristics of the paper. It tends to be more predictable performance, better yielding. It’s sourced from a diversified base of dealers, and the market is much larger in size than new.”
Four years ago, used-vehicle lending made up only 30% of the company’s retail auto originations. By the first quarter of this year, that number had risen to an all-time high of 50%.
Ally is leaning harder on used-vehicle loans at a time when Wells Fargo, long the nation’s largest used-car lender, has been shrinking its auto-lending business.
This push into used-car lending is partially a response to reduced competition, Chief Financial Officer Jennifer LaClair said during the conference call. “I think it is a place where we feel the competition is fair,” she said.
Consumers who take out loans on used cars tend to default more frequently than those who finance purchases of new cars, LaClair acknowledged. But she added that the size of the loss absorbed by lender when used-car loans go bad tends to be smaller than on new-car loans.
“I think it’s just an easier asset class to predict collateral values,” she said.
For the first quarter, Ally reported a retail auto net charge-off rate of 1.47%, down from 1.54% in the same period a year earlier. The percentage of retail auto contracts that were at least 30 days past due rose to 2.61%, up from 2.36% in the first quarter of 2017.

OLEAN — As a native of Olean and a veteran educator, Dr. Michael LaFever understands the importance of Southern Tier Catholic School in the community as well as a Catholic education.
LaFever recently announced that he is president of the Catholic Children’s Learning Corporation (CCLC), a nonprofit organization, whose mission is to financially help elementary Catholic schools such as Southern Tier Catholic, in eight counties of Western New York.
LaFever said the organization is an independent charity and not affiliated with the Diocese of Buffalo. LaFever said the charity’s founders, “all of whom will serve on the Board of Directors, are individual Catholics dedicated to ensuring children and families who desire a faith-based education will continue to have that opportunity.
“We have regional schools in the Diocese of Buffalo and they’re all like Southern Tier Catholic and (Archbishop Walsh Academy) and they’re struggling,” said LaFever, who recently retired as superintendent of schools in the diocese and previously served as principal/president of St. Benedict School in Amherst.
He also is a former educator from Olean.
“They’re what I call mission schools because there are no other choices for Catholic families or other families (to receive) faith-based education in those counties — they’re the only schools left,” he said of Catholic schools in the area.
In addition to Olean, regional communities that continue to have Catholic mission schools include Dunkirk, Batavia and Wellsville, among a few others. Some schools, such as Olean, host students from other communities, including Bradford, Pa., whose Catholic school, closed at the end of the 2018-19 school year. Several of those children now travel to Olean daily for a Catholic education.
“This goes to show you the commitment of families to have that opportunity,” LaFever added.
He said the organization believes Catholic schools are a critical part of the church’s mission for the evangelization of future generations of Catholics.
“The board also wishes to support non-Catholic families whose children attend Catholic schools,” he noted. “Our members feel strongly that children exposed to the faith, charity and love of others will enrich our community in many ways for the future.”
Catholic schools have financially sustained themselves through tuition and the gifts of others for many years, he added.
“Those gifts previously came through the contributions of Catholic parishes, school fundraisers, donated scholarships and the generosity of individuals who contribute to other charities like the BISON FUND who support these schools,” LaFever explained. “The Diocese of Buffalo’s current bankruptcy has resulted in the withdrawal of financial support of Catholic elementary schools by the diocese.”
Because of this, a number of Catholic schools are now in jeopardy of closing without diocesan support.
“The CCLC believes the diocese, even with its limited resources, must continue to see Catholic schools as a part of the church’s mission and include them in its financial priorities,” LaFever contended.
He said the organization has some ideas to engage businesses and establish partnerships to create needed income and a consistent income stream for the schools. This could include activities in real-estate development, small business operations and intellectual properties.
Currently, the board is in the process of exploring all of these possibilities. Donations and financial contributions made to the organization could also be used as tax write-offs for the donors.
“We have a couple of families that are doing estate planning and are dedicating some of their estates to the foundation already,” he commented. “We’re excited about those types of things.”
Thomas Manko, school president and principal of Southern Tier Catholic and Archbishop Walsh, said he is pleased that LaFever, who is his cousin, is heading up the new organization.
“This is for a very noble cause and that is to fund Catholic elementary education of Western New York,” Manko said. “Nobody is getting any funding (from the diocese) at the elementary level … anything we can get will help.”
Manko said the Olean campus has remained open five days a week and currently has 165 students enrolled, from Montessori classes through 12th grade.
“Matter of fact, we just had a phone call from a family who wanted to know if we’re still open and if we’ll be open through June,” Manko added. “Once the families get here, we’ve had some say, ‘You know what, we’re going to stay here after this school year, because we like what we see.’”
For more information on the CCLC visit www.cclcbuffalo.org online.
Though the organization will not conduct fundraisers, there is a place on its website for anyone interested in donating at https://www.cclcbuffalo.org/donate. All funds go directly to Catholic schools in Western New York.


Individual’s right to due process in a disciplinary hearing was not violated when the complaining witness was absent from the hearing due to intimidation and feared to testify
2015 NY Slip Op 03075, Appellate Division, First Department
The Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health adopted an Administrative Law Judge's recommendation to sustain the three charges alleging patient abuse and/or neglect by a certified nurse's aide [Aide]. The Aide appealed the Commissioner's determination but the Appellate Division sustained the Commissioner’s finding that the Aide was guilty of these three charges alleged in the notice of discipline.
The Appellate Division said that there was no basis for disturbing the ALJ’s determination with respect to the credibility of witnesses, citing Berenhaus v Ward, 70 NY2d 436.
The court found that there was substantial evidence in the record to support the ALJ’s findings including:
1. Consistent testimony from several witnesses;
2. Photographs of the patient’s bruises; and
3. The facility's clinical records.
Further, the Appellate Division said that the Aide’s right to administrative due process was not violated as the result of the patient's absence at the hearing as the record supports the ALJ’s finding that the patient was intimidated and was afraid to testify.
The decision is posted on the Internet at:

"Happy employees lead to happy customers."
In times when enterprises' "intimacy" is getting more and more exposed, healthy families communications logics become sort-of models for healthy enterprises branding. During happy times and more even in crisis times, healthy families seem to get their strenght from robust and sincere-yet-not-rude communication and mutual care. This logic, applied to enterprises internal communication, can really be the clue to a real synergy between managers and employees in the field of enterprise branding. Apple's Steve Jobs showed us that managers can be the word people in smooth & happy times. Crisis contexts like Kervel's case in Société Générale teached us that a massive group of satisfied employees can be the best enterprise's advocates in hard times. As for good times and crisis contexts, satisfied employees can always be the most positive branding influence on customers. -Jim K

Fizzio Clubs offer children and young people with special needs opportunities to participate in integrated community activities. Karate Club is one example.
Karate Club aims were to provide children who had mild to moderately severe cerebral palsy with basic Karate skills as part of a structured physiotherapy programme and to encourage continued interest in the sport outside a therapeutic setting.
Children who met the inclusion criteria (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, ICDH-2, WHO 2002 and GMFC Level 2) were referred to the group by their physiotherapist.
The same assessment tool and scoring system was used at the first and last sessions of an eight week block in order to establish a benchmark and provide a measure for outcomes.
A SMART goal was agreed with the child and parents.
Treatment aims were regularly reviewed and activities updated throughout the 8 weeks when achieved by each child.
Links were established with a trained Karate Instructor who, following a visit to meet the group, enrolled all the children at the local club.
A questionnaire for parents and children was completed at intervals throughout the block to provide feedback.
There was 100% attendance from all the group members.
The assessment comprised six activities, scored from 0 to 5. By the end of the block, all scores for each child improved from 2 or 3 baseline to 5.
All children went on to join a local club and continued to develop their skills with one child going on to achieve a third grade orange belt.
Parents and children all reported positive results through the questionnaires the most important being an increased enthusiasm for attending Physiotherapy sessions and completing exercise programmes.
Confidence and self-esteem levels were also reported to have improved.
This initiative has given these children and young people with special needs the opportunity to participate in everyday activities with their peers and in their local communities with both physical and social benefits.
Physiotherapy treatment was more easily accepted and more effective especially in improving weight bearing activities and stretching exercises.
Improvements were also noted in range of movement and perceptual skills.
Involvement with families and the wider community has improved liaison and links with outside agencies providing sporting activities for children who are often not confident in accessing these clubs.
Children learned new skills whilst having fun doing a normal activity.
Parents were eager to support the initiative and continue to provide feedback.
Continue to provide Karate and other club based physiotherapy.
Continue to include other children with different needs such as those with DCD (Developmental Coordination Difficulties, Learning Difficulties, Challenging Behaviour and Respiratory Conditions.
Initiate an audit project to aid evaluation of this project.

Both Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama were right to pursue a world free of nuclear weapons. We need to get back on this journey, which is so vital to world peace.
Nuclear weapons are expensive and rob precious resources from every country. Disarmament is in the best interest of all nations.
The Trump administration must extend the New START Treaty which President Obama signed with Russia reducing deployed strategic nuclear weapons. The treaty is set to expire in early 2021 but Trump has not renewed it.
With Trump already having withdrawn from the INF Treaty with Russia, it's imperative the New START Treaty be saved.
As Thomas Countryman of the Arms Control Association explains "Without the INF Treaty and without New START, there would be no legally binding, verifiable limits on the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals for the first time in nearly half a century." Of the 14,000 nuclear weapons worldwide, about 90 percent of them are held by the United States and Russia.
The New START Treaty must be renewed and keep the foundation in place for building more disarmament treaties. We need to stop the trend of losing nuclear agreements.
The last 2 years has seen Trump withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and the INF Treaty which Reagan achieved. The Trump administration accused Russia of violating the INF Treaty. But instead of keeping a diplomatic approach to resolving differences, chose to withdraw from the pact.
The 1987 INF Treaty had eliminated the short and medium range nuclear missiles of both the U.S. and Russia. It was a major arms control breakthrough following the Reykjavik summit in Iceland between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. There the two leaders envisioned a world free of nuclear weapons and were willing to take action to start disarming.
Reagan and Gorbachev set in motion diplomacy that led to major disarmament agreements reducing U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons. President Obama likewise shared their vision of a world free from nukes when he took office.
We need every president to continue this quest or we lose momentum like we are now. Trump could easily change this by extending New START and also getting the Senate to finally ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
But so far Trump sadly lacks the vision of Reagan or Obama when it comes to nuclear disarmament and peace. We need disarmament very badly because despite existing treaties, there are still far too many nukes in the world.
We can't be wasting tax dollars on nuclear weapons when there are such pressing needs like combating hunger, poverty, disease and climate change.
It is estimated that about 105 billion a year is spent worldwide on nukes according the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Meanwhile millions of children go hungry around the globe even though only a fraction of the nuke costs could feed them. One estimate says 5 billion a year could provide school meals for every child in the world.
We should increase funding for food and nutrition everywhere, rather than investing in dangerous nukes. No true peace can be found under the threat of these weapons of mass destruction. As the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in 1947 "A peace enforced through fear is a poor substitute for a peace maintained through international cooperation based upon agreement and understanding."
It's time to rid the world of nukes, which only stand in the way of peace.
—William Lambers is the author of the Road to Peace and Ending World Hunger.


We have just discovered ANOTHER poison pill amendment that, if passed, would shutdown Trump's border wall national emergency and end all wall construction projects for good!
This past week, I warned you that Republicans were gearing up to help Democrats pass an anti-border wall amendment in the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.
In Section 227 of the bill, it reads that “notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used for the construction of physical barriers along the southern land border of the United States during fiscal year 2020.”
That one sentence alone would shut down all border wall construction for next year, the final year of Trump’s first term in office. Given the fact that there are over 450 miles of new border wall construction slated to be completed over the next year, this is a big deal. We went down the list and named the 25 Republicans in the House and Senate most likely to vote for this provision (since they already voted with Democrats back in March to revoke this border wall funding).
We launched a massive FaxBlast campaign pressuring Congress and the response from conservative Congressmen and Senators was excellent. They vowed to throw everything at the bill to stop this amendment from passing. But in the process, they discovered another open border amendment hidden on page 1689 of the National Defense Authorization Act as well. And Section 2801 of that bill is just as dangerous.
“Military construction funds may not be obligated, expended, or otherwise used to design or carry out a project to construct, replace, or modify a wall, fence, or other physical barrier along the international border between the United States and Mexico.”
This is like a political game of whack-a-mole. Just when we get Conservatives in Congress to finally start fighting against the open border Establishment, another equally dangerous amendment pops up in another spending bill!
And now, the GOP wants to rush this surrender amendment through!
Stop the surrender! Tell Congress right now that you will remove any Congressman or Senator, Republican or Democrat, who dares vote for any of these open border spending amendments!
Again, not only would this block new border wall construction, but it would also block modifications. Last year, we were facing a literal invasion at the border. I call it an invasion because the migrants scaled the border fence in California and started waving the Honduran Flag and singing their national anthem. There is nothing "racist" about calling that an invasion. If someone storms an international border waving the flag of their home country -- remember, a country that they were also allegedly fleeing -- then that is an invasion.
Anyway, in order to stop that invasion, Trump called up the Army and they covered the border fence with razor wire. And just like that, the crisis was averted. But this new amendment would outlaw even that.
This is the second hidden amendment we've found that would officially revoke President Trump’s border wall national emergency order and end all border wall construction. And the ban wouldn’t just apply to last year. It would apply to all military funding that has been approved since 2015.
The Establishment isn't taking any chances. They want to force this bill through this coming week to shut down border wall construction before you get a chance to rise up and stop them.
You cannot let them do this!
Don't let them slip these provisions through! Send your instant FaxBlast to Congress right now and FORCE them to kill each and every open border spending amendment... or else!
We have spent a lot of time naming and shaming the Establishment Republicans who have decided to team up with Democrats to try to shut down border wall construction.
But today, I want to name the conservatives who are fighting back because they desperately need your help.
I am talking about Representatives Bradley Byrne (AL), Paul Gosar (AZ), David Schweikert (AZ), Andy Biggs (AZ), Greg Steube (FL), Matt Gaetz (FL), Jody Hice (GA), Barry Loudermilk (GA), Mark Meadows (NC), Jeff Duncan (SC), Ralph Norman (SC), Randy Weber (TX), Ron Wright (TX), Michael Cloud (TX), and Chip Roy (TX).
They are fighting with everything they've got to strip these open border provisions from the spending bills before it is too late. But they need your help before time runs out! If even one of these anti-border wall amendments slips through, then we lose.
Unfortunately, Democrats are already starting to get Republicans to flip against the President. These cowards are willing to cave on anything to avoid a government shutdown, even if it means cancelling 450 miles of border wall construction.
They think that is the best way to hold onto their political power. It is up to YOU to prove them wrong!
Don't stop fighting!

In addition, students, staff and families will be collecting 1,200 pairs of jeans (of all sizes) IN 15 DAYS to donate to local organizations that help the needy – a measurable act of kindness we can all see!
This Kindness Challenge was funded by our PTA to take, what has traditionally been our Bully Prevention month, to a new level. Watch this short video to see a glimpse into this positive program.
In our conversations with parents and teachers, we feel this is a direction that many can get behind & support! Kindness Matters, right??! In fact, we will be challenging parents, guardians, teachers and extended family to join in!!
Follow us on Facebook for daily kindness suggestions and reminders! How will you share kindness? How will you pay it forward? Let’s all lead by example and remember that…

Can you get unemployment if your employer chooses not to work?
In most cases, no. Unemployment benefits are available to individuals who are totally or partially unemployed due to no fault of their own. In this example, the individual—not the employer—is choosing not to work and, therefore, would be ineligible. However, the facts of each circumstance are important.
What happens if you run out of unemployment benefits?
If you have exhausted unemployment benefits or are worried about running out of them, there are extended benefits funded by the federal government that will provide unemployment compensation beyond the maximum number of weeks provided by your state.
Who is eligible for unemployment in the United States?
The U.S. Department of Labor’s unemployment insurance (UI) program provides cash benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own. The program is administered by individual states, but the law itself is a federal one.
How to get extra weeks of unemployment benefits?
All Unemployed Workers Will Receive Supplemental Benefits Recipients of unemployment may be eligible to receive extra payments. Extra Weeks of Unemployment Benefits Are Available Check with your state unemployment office for information on how long you can collect unemployment compensation.
What happens if you are found ineligible for unemployment?
If you are found ineligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits, you will receive a determination explaining the reason. If you disagree, you may request a hearing within 30 days from the date of the determination. You could qualify for unemployment benefits if you lost your job or if you had…
What do you need to know about filing for unemployment?
Once you have filed a claim for benefits, you must also claim weekly benefits for each week you are unemployed. What you need to know about filing for unemployment insurance during the pandemic. The Department of Labor works very hard to protect the integrity of our agency and programs.
How to find out more about unemployment insurance?
Get answers to your questions about Unemployment Insurance. Advocates provide free, impartial and confidential services that help claimants, particularly those with limited English proficiency or other barriers, understand their rights and responsibilities under Unemployment Insurance Law.
When to file for unemployment after losing your job?
Unemployment Insurance is temporary income for eligible workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. File your claim the first week that you lose your job. You should certify for benefits for each week you remain unemployed, as soon as you receive notification from the DOL to do so.

Think back: What’s the longest you’ve been involved with one single thing – a job, a relationship, whatever? Well, the Radiators have been doing their thing for 33 years. I don’t know about you, but the only thing I’ve done for that long is living! So it’s sort of understandable that these veterans of the New Orleans music scene would want to finally call it quits. What’s cool, though, is the band is currently giving their longtime fans one last chance for one last bash, and Albany’s “Fish Heads” (not to be confused with “Phish Heads”) were literally dancing in the aisles at The Egg.
Now, there’s no delicate way to say this: The miles definitely show. Compare the lead vocalist in that video we posted for “Suck the Head” with the pictures of the guy playing keyboards at the Swyer last Saturday night. That’s primary songwriter Ed Volker, who now looks like an Amish guy stuck in the best dream of his life – an image he reinforced when, after he busted us up with “Ace in the Hole”, he leaned down to one of the beautiful young women dancing near his instruments and said reproachfully, “You’re gonna end up in the hoosegow if you keep dancing like that!”

Automated hacking attempts on Windows servers in Washington have increased noticeably throughout the previous 14-day period. The automated hacking attempts have climbed up by 24 percent in the course of the two weeks prior, according to evidence from Syspeace-secured Windows Servers. In contrast, there was a slight contraction of 11 percent in the whole USA.
In Washington, the sum total of attacks on Windows servers secured by Syspeace went up throughout the previous 14-day period as 6,300 automated hacking attempts per Windows servers were recorded by Syspeace. That is to say, the automated hacking attempts built up by 24 percent. That means 29,000 total the number of brute-force attacks in the Washington in the previous 14 days were blocked by Syspeace.
With similar changes, there has been a growth of the amount of automated hacking attempts in Maryland and Indiana. With 940 blocked brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured Windows Server the previous 14 days, Maryland has recorded an escalation of 24 percent compared to the previous 14-day period. In Indiana, the sum total has gone up by 18 percent to 590 automated hacking attempts per Windows server secured by Syspeace.
All around the USA, brute-force attacks on Syspeace-secured Windows Servers have shown a slight decrease, but Washington sees the opposite. There have been 11 percent less brute-force attacks in the USA on Windows servers secured by Syspeace in the course of the previous 14-day period compared to the two weeks prior. Up until today, this year there have been 1,500 brute-force attacks per Syspeace-secured server in the USA. That is on the same level as the same period last year. Simply put, Syspeace blocked 750,000 brute-force attacks in the USA.
The data source is Windows servers secured by Syspeace globally. Syspeace is an intrusion-prevention software that provides affordable and easy-to-use tools for enterprises to fight brute-force attacks. Syspeace wants to make the digital world safer for businesses, one server at a time. Having collected and analyzed data on brute-force attacks since 2012, Syspeace is the world leader on the topic.
During the automated hacking attempt, an attacker submits many passwords or passphrases, hoping to eventually get them right. Each and every possible password and passphrase is systematically inspected to find the right one.
To keep systems secure and block automated hacking attempts, Syspeace provides software that protects companies from IT theft, combined with excellent customer support.

Summary: The way sin began, the way sin affects man, the way sin affects God, the way sin affects our lives, the way sin affects our future, and the way of escape God has provided.
The History Of Sin
Hebrews 3:13 “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon reckoned as the highest compliment ever paid to him the words of an open enemy who said, “Here is a man who has not moved as much as an inch forward in all his ministry. At the close of the 19th century he is preaching the theology of the 1st century and is proclaiming the doctrine of Nazareth and Jerusalem, which was current 1800 years ago.”
What was said of Spurgeon needs to be said of every N.T. preacher. We need to preach about sin as it was preached about by God’s servants 2000 years ago.
Def. of Sin
1. Dictionary – “Sin is a transgression, evil, a violation of accepted moral, religious code.”
2. Sin is any lack of conformity to the character of God.
3. Sin is a hopelessly incurable disease of the soul.
4. Sin is rebellion against God.
5. Sin is the opposite of holiness, of God, and of morality.
I. The Way Sin Began
1. Sin Began In The Universe With The Rebellion Of Satan.
Isaiah 14:12-14 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
2. Sin Began In The World By Adam And Eve’s Rebellion.
Genesis 3:6-7 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
3. Sin Begins In Man Because The Heart Is Deceitful.
Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
Matthew 15:18-19 “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:”
II. The Way Sin Affects Man
1. It Made Man A Transgressor – Separated from God.
Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
2. It Left Man Guilty And Condemned Before God.
John 3:18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
III. The Way Sin Affects God
1. It Is Contrary To His Holiness.
2. It Provokes God To Wrath.
John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
IV. The Way Sin Affects Our Lives
1. Sin Has A Law Of Sowing And Reaping.
Galatians 6:7-8 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
2. Sin Is Exceeding Sinful
a. Ex. 20:3-17 –-- Ten Sins
b. I Cor. 6:9,10 –-- 5 Sins
c. Rom. 1:29-31 –-- 19 Sins
d. I Tim. 1:19-11 –-- 6 Sins
e. Col. 3:5-8 ---7 Sins
f. Gal. 5:19-21 ---9 Sins
g. Mark 7:20-23 ---3 sins
Over 50 Separate Sins
V. The Way Sin Affects Our Future
1. Heb 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
2. Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
VI. The Way of Escape – God Has Provided A Way
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

No picture, no food waste. A little boring visually, but I'm happy about it.
I'm especially pleased because last night I expected to come home to several items that were about to end up in a photo, only to find my husband had eaten every one of them! I know I brag on him an awful lot, but he deserves it. And his skills go way beyond not wasting food, but he sure is a champ in that area. Much better than I am.
For those of you who are new to this blog, I wrote this post called Refrigerator Games over a year ago when I was first becoming conscious of how much food we throw away. All I did was create a section in our refrigerator with a label that says "Eat Me!" and I put all the food that needs to be eaten soon in that section. My husband goes to it for snacks and lunches, and the system works out well because not only do we use up almost all of our food, but he knows where to look for it. It focuses his energy.
Here are some of the items I was concerned about:
*Leftover veggie curry. I had eaten it twice already, so I froze the last of it to eat later when we're not already sick of it.
*Cooked snap peas. We had these in the refrigerator almost two weeks before I finally cooked them and then they were too stringy and bitter for me. My husband actually shelled them and ate the peas inside!
*A small amount of cooked black beans. Eaten by my husband along with the peas.
We've got a lot of lettuce in the crisper, so we'll have to concentrate on that to make sure it doesn't end up in next week's photo. And since we had our CSA delivery this week, I did a light shopping trip just to stock up on a few essentials and baking ingredients.
Check out Wasted Food to find out more about how wasting food is bad for the environment, and head over to The Frugal Girl for the roundup of bloggers trying to limit their food waste, one family at a time. You're guaranteed to see pictures there!
FAVORITE BLOG POST OF THE WEEK: I love this post by Debb Whitlock called Balance is Bull****! Debb writes a blog offering financial advice for women. Her philosophy is that you deserve access to financial information regardless of the size of your investment portfolio. This post about the illusion of balance really hit home for me. Many of us are trying to bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan plus all that stuff about not letting him forget he's a man, and it just doesn't always work like that. Check it out, it's very empowering!

After a long wait, handsome Nollywood star and biker, Tuvi James, who just breezed in from South Africa, is now poised for the pre launch of his forthcoming album.
Entitled: Tuvi on fire, the anticipated evening of fun, relaxation and groove holds tomorrow, Saturday inside celebrity hangout, O’Jez, National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, under the chairmanship of Olorogun Oscar Ibru, CEO, IBRU Organizations.
Powered by Victorist Production (Pretoria, South Africa), in collaborations with Ejike Asiegbu-led Forever Communications and Trend Blazers Entertainment, the event according to them promises to be memorable and riveting for all the expected guests and friends of James coming.
Elaborating more on the pre launch, Mr. Asiegbu, a popular actor and the immediate past national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, disclosed that the outing had been carefully planned with inputs from their foreign partners who are equally storming Nigeria with all their representatives. “Tuvi, myself and the boss of Trend Blazers met recently with our foreign partners in South Africa and concluded that we should have a pre album launch, before releasing the full album early next year.
And we agreed that it must hold in Nigeria first before any other country. Tuvi is a young man that has done well for himself in Nollywood and we are very sure he will replicate same feat in the music industry. We believe so much in his creative ability hence, the need to work with him,” added Asiegbu, now a Special Assistant to Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji.
Also speaking, visibly elated James who now shuttles between Nigeria and South Africa said he cannot wait to unleash the stuff he’s made of musically to his fans, friends and well wishers this Saturday. “Tuvi is on fire right now, so I urge you to come watch me unleash this new fire burning inside me at the pre launch,” he enthused.The event is proudly supported by OJez Entertainment Centre

Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah was set to reject preliminary election results released Monday, heightening a political crisis over fraud that threatens to trigger instability as US-led troops pull out.
Abdullah, previously seen as the election front-runner, alleges that he was the victim of “industrial-scale” ballot-box stuffing on June 14 and has vowed not to recognise the vote count. His poll rival Ashraf Ghani, who was reported to be at least one million votes ahead, says the result is fair and must not be further delayed. The United Nations and Afghanistan´s international backers had lobbied hard to try to ensure a smooth election process, but the contested outcome will realise their worst fears and raises the risk of civil unrest.
Influential US Senator Carl Levin, on a visit to Kabul, told reporters on Sunday that the preliminary result would likely be followed by an audit of suspicious votes in an attempt to assuage Abdullah Abdullah´s fears of fraud. “I expect that (there) is going to be an agreement on a comprehensive audit,” Levin, chairman of the Senate committee on armed services, said. “We have assurances (the candidates) will accept the outcome of such an audit.”After the preliminary result on Monday, the official result is scheduled for July 24 after a period for adjudication of complaints.
The deadlock has tipped Afghanistan´s first democratic transfer of power into chaos as US-led troops end their 13-year war against the Taliban, and the country faces a new era with declining civilian aid. “What we are asking for is thorough auditing, then preliminary results afterwards,” Abdullah told supporters in Kabul late Sunday. “We are honoured to claim that we are the majority of votes in Afghanistan that are clean.”

Exploring Mental Illness with 'Unstoppable Wasp'
Writer Jeremy Whitley speaks to Marvel.com about the care behind issue #5.
Since the very beginning, Marvel Comics has presented its Super Heroes as, above all else, people.
Matt Murdock manages his blindness, Bruce Banner copes with his anger, and Charles Xavier contends with his paralysis while, concurrently, Daredevil protects Hell's Kitchen, the Hulk smashes Super Villains, and Professor X leads a school of gifted youngsters.
While these characteristics are what help make our heroes human, they do not define them or weaken them; they're simply a part of who they are.
In the same way, today's UNSTOPPABLE WASP #5 sees its eponymous hero at a crossroads in her life. As Nadia Van Dyne encounters her mental illness for the first time, she and the Agents of G.I.R.L. grapple with its powerful effects while never losing sight of their love for—and responsibilities to—themselves and each other.
Marvel.com sat down with Whitley to discuss crafting the story with care, shaping a character in new ways, and the fan reaction to this emotional tale.
Marvel.com: What led you to decide to "give" Nadia a bipolar disorder?
Jeremy Whitley: It was something my editor, Alanna Smith, and I discussed a great deal. We felt it was an opportunity to present a representation of mental illness that we don't frequently see in comics.
Historically, comics have blamed villainous tendencies on mental illness. This has resulted in some characters having entire galleries of "crazy" villains and heroes frequently doing things that are mentally unhealthy and feeling very little consequence. What we wanted to show was a character who is overwhelmingly associated with positivity and optimism who is forced to face her own limitations. Some characters are defined by taking on too much, by pushing themselves past the limits of their body, and in Nadia's case these actions can be both a trigger for and a symptom of her disorder.
Marvel.com: When in the process of writing the character/conceiving of a direction for the title did the idea occur to you? How did it shape your characterization of her going forward?
Whitley: It was something we talked about from the very beginning. Our first hints of this actually appear in the issue of ALL-NEW ALL-DIFFERENT AVENGERS that I co-wrote with Mark Waid before UNSTOPPABLE WASP even started. Nadia is shown to be a character who believes that everything can be solved through science, including issues that are human or emotional in nature. She's also shown to be someone that will push herself past the point of health and personal safety to help other people.
When we started working on UNSTOPPABLE WASP, we talked about from the beginning that this is something we would like to introduce into the character, but we wanted to make sure that Nadia was defined by more than just her illness. Making sure Nadia's story wasn't simply the story of her disorder was important. As with real people, bipolar disorder is just one facet of a complex and interesting person, so it was important to Alanna and I that we really establish who and how Nadia was before we go deeply into this one particular piece of her.
Marvel.com: How aware of bipolar were you before deciding to incorporate it into the book? How did you set about getting a whole and thorough understanding of it?
Whitley: I was definitely aware of bipolar disorder beforehand. I have friends who have struggled with it in their own lives, either personally or through family members. It wasn't something I knew intimately, but I was very conscious of it.
Before I wrote about it in the book, I wanted to make sure I had a good lock on it. I started by reading up from a strictly medical standpoint. I wanted to have an understanding of what it was clinically and how it functioned. It's often a pitfall in fiction that writers are more interested in a symptom than a disease or disorder and the condition ends up being poorly defined.
Probably more important to me though, was talking to and reading stories from people who have dealt with the condition themselves. It's good to know generally what it looks like, but it's also important to understand what it feels like when you're writing a character. So I consulted quite a bit on this, which you can see if you check out the "special thanks" in these issues.
Marvel.com: As you learned about it, did anything strike you about bipolar disorder that you found unexpected based on your initial knowledge? Anything that really altered how you viewed the disorder?
Whitley: I think the trickiest thing with bipolar disorder was just how cleanly descriptions of experiencing bipolar mania line up with what we expect from a superhero. People who have manic episodes often describe it was feeling like they can do anything, like they're superhuman. When people are experiencing mania they often don't feel the need to eat or sleep. It's an incredible high where things that frequently seem impossible seem simple. The reality of the situation is that mania is the really dangerous part of the disorder, because not sleeping or eating has effects on your ability to process and perform normal tasks. When you're a superhero, the potential to cause harm when you can't concentrate or control your actions is pretty huge.
Marvel.com: Related to that, one of the fascinating things you have done so far with Nadia and her living with bipolar is to have her manic episode spark uses of her powers. In grad school, one of the classic examples of a manic episode was someone in the midst of such an incident trying to push a car uphill because their energized state made them feel as though they were super strong. Nadia, however, is a literal super hero. She can, as she does, shrink down to such a small state that she can exist in a realm where time moves differently.
Beyond just noting how effective I found that, I was curious how you decided to portray the episode thusly? We have seen Pym have manic episodes, but the results were always sort of common: increased energy, erratic or risky behavior, and so on. I cannot recall an earlier instance of the bipolar and super powers interacting in this way.
Whitley: Well, it seemed like a logical extension to me. Nadia has all this energy and feels the need to fix these huge problems, but time is moving so quickly that she just isn't accomplishing what she wants to do. Then she realizes she has the ability to shrink down into this crystal and give herself all the time in the world. Of course, she doesn't do this with any regard for her own well-being, so things go sideways pretty quickly, but to her this just makes sense - just like it makes sense to that grad student that they should be able to push a car up a hill.
The tiny lab also works as kind of a cheat for the story. Because in the couple of hours that it takes the rest of the UNSTOPPABLE WASP crew to figure out what Nadia is dealing with, Nadia is able to push herself through an entire week of not sleeping or eating. We can escalate the stakes and illustrate the dangers of mania very quickly. As becomes evident in issue #5, it also lets us accelerate the change from mania to depression much faster than it would occur in real life - because Nadia is experiencing time at a different rate than our other characters.
Marvel.com: There is a danger, I'd imagine, in losing the character to the illness. How do you balance the desire to be honest about Nadia as someone with bipolar without it becoming her entire "story"?
Whitley: It's going to be a balancing act. It's not unlike Storm and her claustrophobia. It's a compelling aspect of the character, but when every story results in Storm being stuck somewhere small and dark, it's a problem. I feel like the '90s X-Men animated series had that issue a bit.
For Nadia, it's something we're going to have to figure out as we go - just like people who deal with the issue in real life. It doesn't go away, but with medication and therapy, it can be better. On the other hand, if Nadia finds herself teleported into the depths of space without her medication, that's a real wrinkle she'll have to deal with. One of our consultants on issue 6 specifically said in a dialog suggestion that "disability will always be a part of you, but it doesn't have to define you" and I think that's an important message to carry on into future UNSTOPPABLE WASP stories.
Marvel.com: Similarly, how has it been to write her supporting cast reacting to the episode? How did you find the reactions that felt authentic to them?
Whitley: I feel like that was one of the most important small aspects of the story. These characters all care about Nadia, but they're not all going to react the same way. Nadia hurts people in this story and that doesn't just undo itself because a person is generally nice. A story of this magnitude threatens to swallow the supporting cast into a Greek chorus, but it's particularly important to me that what everybody does both during and after their encounter with Nadia is informed by who that character is and what we know about them. People who walk away do so as much from aspects of their own character as the people who stay.
Marvel.com: Any insight to how Nadia feels about this as she moves through it? I have a really close friend who used to talk about it as knowing that there was something in her head that would occasionally throw a switch and disrupt her entire life. I imagine for Nadia, someone who is very dedicated to the power of the brain--hers and others--this must be a disconcerting new facet of her own mind.
Whitley: There's actually quite a bit of discussion about how Nadia feels about it in issue #5, so I'll leave that to people to read. Suffice to say, it's not anything anybody knows how to deal with the first time they experience it.
Marvel.com: Have you received feedback from fans with the disorder or familiar with it? How is it being received?
Whitley: I have! The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and I am so grateful to the fans who have reached out for sharing their experiences. It's my hope that people may read this book and understand that they're not alone and that sometimes even superheroes experience things in their lives that are beyond their control.
Marvel.com: How about for yourself? Looking at the work up until this point and comparing to your thoughts when you conceived of this avenue, how do you feel about the execution so far? How has the actual writing of it changed your conception of the disorder, of Nadia, or of any of the other story elements?
Whitley: At the risk of sounding like I'm making a joke, I've gone through cycles with how I feel about this story.
Before I wrote it I was in love with the idea and so excited about getting to it. When I was writing it, it proved to be one of the most difficult stories I've ever written. I've been responsible for the personality and world of Nadia for so long and I love the character so much that putting her through such a difficult and painful experience was really difficult for me. Thankfully Alanna was very positive and reassuring when reading the first drafts and I started to think I'd done a good job.
Then as it got closer to coming out, I had this overwhelming feeling of dread that people who had gotten so attached to this character were going to read this story and hate me for what I was putting her through. Thankfully, when it came out, all of the amazing reactions certainly helped me to feel better about it. Now I'm back to being excited about this story being out in the world and hopefully allowing someone who needs to read it to read it. Nadia's an incredible character and I feel very lucky to have been a part of her story to this point. Hopefully I get to do that for a lot longer.
Marvel.com: Where does Nadia, the character, and UNSTOPPABLE WASP, the book, go from here? Not necessarily just in a "tease" kind of way, but your thinking on how you see this opening up storytelling avenues going forward?
Whitley: Well, we have a couple of special single issues stories coming up that will deal a bit with where Nadia is now and where she's going, but soon we have to get to the GIRL Expo that Janet has been planning since issue 1 of this volume. That one's going to be a lot of fun. Oh and we gotta get caught up with those AIM girls. They've gotten away with too much already.

Design #110Gradient Blue
I really love this design. It turned out way better than I expected. The sponging is the best one I've done so far.I started off painting my nails a vivid blue, this is Isadora no. 78 - Bugatti Blue. I then sponged on a silver polish on the tips of my nails, using an ordinary make up sponge. The silver polish I used is an opaque silver foil polish from Color Club called "What a drag".
I could have left it at that but I took it one step further. I topped the whole thing off with a silver glitter polish from Essence called "Mystic Mermaid". It's a glitter polish with super tiny silver glitter that shifts in blue aswell. This made my gradient really perfect.


In Primorye, a follower of Jehovah's Witnesses under house arrest suffered a stroke. At that moment Olga Opaleva was in the convoy of the FSIN. As a result, the woman accused of organizing the activities of an extremist organization was paralyzed on the left side of the body. Earlier, the UN working group on arbitrary detention recognized the arrest of yet another follower of Jehovah's Witnesses, Vladimir Alushkin, as unlawful.
“Everything was confiscated from us, including the Bibles. The only Bible that was sent to me in jail,” says Vladimir Alushkin. Since January, he has been under house arrest, and before that he spent six months in jail.
Alushkin is accused of organizing the activities of an extremist organization. The investigation claims that he held meetings of believers and raised money for the community under the guise of donations. Since April the year before last, the activity of the legal organization "Jehovah's Witnesses Management Center for Russia in Russia" and all its regional divisions has been banned in Russia.
Vladimir Alushkin says that he has no relationship with the legal entity: “According to the court decision of April 20, 2017, 396 legal entities of Jehovah's Witnesses were banned. But further in the same decision, there are more than 2,500 religious groups or assemblies that have not been registered , and Russian law, it allows it. And they were not banned. It turns out that the legal entity and the meeting are not the same thing. "
Wife of Vladimir Tatyana is sure that there are many inconsistencies in the version of the investigation. This, she said, became clear at court hearings. Some witnesses refused to testify and claimed forged signatures. Another part admitted that she signed the interrogation protocols without looking.
The lawyer of Vladimir Alushkin, Irina Krasnikova, also claims pressure on witnesses: “We see the court tacitly observing how the prosecution puts pressure on witnesses being interrogated in court. In particular, the prosecution repeatedly asked the same questions to the witness in order to obtain the necessary evidence” . On charges of extremism, Vladimir Alushkin faces up to 10 years in prison. A fine or a real term can also be received by his wife Tatyana. Together with four other believers, she is accused of participating in the same extremist organization and is under house arrest. Spouses live on Tatyana's retirement and help from friends. Apartment repair work Vladimir had to leave.
Alushkin does not count on an acquittal: “First, several court decisions have already entered into force in a similar case. Searches, arrests, and criminal cases under a similar article are continuing.”
In October, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention declared the arrest of Vladimir Alushkin illegal. The international organization announced the need to release the believer and compensate him for damage. So far, the court has not considered this decision. The next meeting will be held in November.
