This past year, especially this summer, has really been something.
I have not felt as undeserving, shameful, selfish, and well.. ugly, as I have this past year. There were so many moments where I just wanted to climb into a hole and hide, embarrassed of how self-absorbed and self-serving I could get. I would put myself before others, reluctant to sacrifice my resources. I would continue to behave in ways that I knew were not pleasing to God, even after acknowledging that I should stop. I’d keep doing it because doing what I want was more important than not doing what God didn’t want.
Sometimes, I get so angry or bitter so easily, letting powerful and negative emotions get the better of me. I’d curse people under my breath and think such unnecessary nasty thoughts against others. And then, I feel horrible and 미안해 to God. “How do I pray and worship with the same tongue that curses and belittles others out of irrational anger?”
There are plenty of specific moments that when I look back, I cringe. Times that I want to lock away. Parts of me that are too ugly to show.
And yet, when I am feeling my lowest and scrubbiest, I have also felt the most loved.
I have been showered in endless love. Others have placed me before themselves. I’ve been taken care of ridiculously well. I’ve been loved so selflessly by people who have seen me at some of my worst moments with tears, complaints, animosity, stinginess, self-absorption, etc. It truly does baffle me how people still love me, willingly. I deserve not even an ounce of their love.
And if people can love me despite the ugliness that I’ve shown, then how much crazier is it that God sees all my unspoken and hidden ugliness, and still loves me unconditionally? How much deeper, wider, and greater must His love be? Even though I make mistake after mistake, that I may often do more harm than good, that I push Him aside all the time, He still loves me, that He already knew that this was the kind of daughter I would be and still redeemed me.
Just.. like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! I can’t put into words just how much it amazes me that I could be so dearly and beautifully loved.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan arrived in Iran on Sunday to discuss security and regional issues, Iranian state TV reported, a day after Islamabad urged Tehran to act against militants behind killings in Pakistan's Baluchistan province. A new umbrella group representing various insurgent groups operating in Baluchistan claimed responsibility for an attack on Thursday when 14 passengers were killed after being kidnapped from buses in the province, which borders Iran. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Saturday the training and logistical camps of the new alliance that carried out the attack were inside Iran and called for Iran to take action against the insurgents.
A man suspected of involvement in a mysterious dissident group's February raid on North Korea's Embassy in Madrid was arrested in Los Angeles by U.S. authorities. Christopher Ahn, a former U.S. Marine, was arrested and charged Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter. Separately, on Thursday, federal agents raided the apartment of Adrian Hong, a leader of the Free Joseon group, the person said.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler holds a news conference on Thursday in New York City. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler called President Trump's repeated efforts to thwart the investigation as outlined in special counsel Robert Mueller's report potential grounds for impeachment. “If proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes,” Nadler, D-N.Y., said on NBC's “Meet the Press” Sunday.
Days after a fire engulfed Paris' beloved Notre Dame Cathedral, fundraising efforts neared the $1 billion mark. But officials estimate the international surge in donations may not yet cover the rebuilding costs. Stephane Bern, who heads heritage renovation programs across France, estimates the cost to completely repair the church will reach $1.13 billion to $2.3 billion.
Five Britons have been killed in the Sri Lankan terror attacks which left more than 200 people dead, the country's foreign ministry has confirmed. James Dauris, the UK's High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, who visited some of the injured Britons in hospital, earlier today condemned the "deplorable violence" as he urged people in Sri Lanka to get in touch with members of their family to let them know they were safe. The country's foreign ministry said the nationalities of 11 foreigners killed in the Easter Sunday blasts have been verified.
Turkish police on Monday arrested nine people, including a member of the ruling AKP party, after a mob attack on opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu that sparked widespread criticism. Kilicdaroglu, 70, of the Republican People's Party (CHP) was assaulted on Sunday in a crowd as he attended a funeral in Ankara for a soldier killed fighting Kurdish militants in the southeast. The attack came days after the opposition CHP won Ankara and Istanbul from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP in March 31 local elections, seen as a major setback for the ruling party after a decade-and-a-half in power.
The assailants who attacked a state security building northwest of Riyadh on Sunday are Saudi militants who belong to Islamic State, Saudi-owned Arabiya TV said in a tweet, citing its own correspondent. Saudi state media said authorities thwarted the attack by four militants targeting the Mabaheth (domestic intelligence) station in Zulfi, a small city about 250 km (155 miles) northwest of the capital Riyadh. There has been no Islamic State claim of responsibility for the attack so far, and the authorities did not officially identify the assailants.

The B-21 has disappeared into the “black” world of military technology, and will only reemerge when the bomber is ready. On October 27, 2015, nearly thirty-four years to the day after Northrop Grumman was awarded the contract to develop the first stealth bomber, the U.S. Air Force awarded Northrop a contract for a new bomber: the B-21 Raider. In invoking the Doolittle Raid, the Air Force is drawing attention to attack's audacious nature, the strategic and tactical surprise, and the epic distances General Doolittle and his “raiders” flew to accomplish their mission.
Community members in suburban Denver marked the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting Saturday with a remembrance ceremony that celebrated the school's survival and by volunteering at shelters, doing neighborhood cleanup projects and laying flowers and cards at a memorial to the 13 people killed. "We're changed," Dawn Anna, whose daughter Lauren Townsend was among the students killed in the school's library, said before a crowd of more than 2,000 gathered in a park near the high school. The events ended a three-day slate of somber gatherings honoring the victims and lending support to their families, survivors of the April 20, 1999, attack and the school's students and staff.
President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani appears on "Meet the Press" in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. Defending President Trump's campaign for its willingness to accept help from Russia in the 2016 presidential election, Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani said there was “nothing wrong” with a campaign taking information from foreign sources. “Any candidate in the whole world, in America, would take information,” Giuliani told CNN's Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” on Sunday.
Videos of the incident were posted to social media during a Monday afternoon after-school event held at the church at which Dempsey was speaking of Easter and the crucifixion. In one of the videos, Dempsey is seen standing still while students take turns spitting on him, some striking him, while other students are heard laughing. The mother of a youth, who reportedly employed a knife handed to him by Dempsey to cut the associate pastor at his invitation, said she was alerted to the video by a friend, according to an on-camera interview with WBNS-TV.
Several air strikes and explosions shook the Libyan capital Tripoli overnight, residents said, in an escalation of a two-week offensive by eastern forces on the city held by the internationally recognised government. A Reuters reporter and several residents said they saw an aircraft circling for more than 10 minutes over the capital late on Saturday, and that it made a humming sound before opening fire on several areas. An aircraft was heard again after midnight, circling for more than ten minutes before a heavy explosion shook the ground.
The US Federal Aviation Administration is planning what it calls a comprehensive multi-nation review of the control systems of the Boeing 737 Max airliner to include experts from nine civil aviation authorities. The review will "evaluate aspects of the 737 Max automated flight-control system, including its design and pilots' interaction with the system, to determine its compliance with all applicable regulations and to identify future enhancements that might be needed," the agency said. Boeing Max planes -- the aerospace firm's all-time best-seller -- have been grounded worldwide since then, while engineers and investigators seek the exact causes of the crashes.
U.S. stock index futures dipped on Monday as investors returned from their Easter break and took a cautious stance at the beginning of what is expected to be the busiest week of the first-quarter earnings season. The S&P 500 closed slightly lower last week, ending its three-week winning streak, but hovered about 1% away from a record high hit in September on U.S.-China trade hopes and a largely upbeat earnings season. More than a third of the S&P 500 companies, including Boeing Co, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook Inc, will report this week determining whether investors should be concerned about the start of an earnings recession or whether back-to-back quarters of negative growth can be avoided.
A member of an armed rightwing militia group accused of illegally detaining migrants at the US-Mexico border has been arrested, officials said on Saturday. Today's arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes,” the New Mexico attorney general, Hector Balderas, said in a statement. On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) called for an investigation into the pro-Trump, anti-immigrant men who have been patrolling the border and calling themselves the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP).

On Sunday night's episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver continued his investigation into what he calls “Stupid Watergate” in light of the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. While Attorney General William Barr's preliminary summary of the report made it seem that Mueller's investigation completely exonerated the president, Oliver disagreed. In Oliver's summation of the “incredible” report, Trump's main defenses against obstruction of justice and collusion were “incompetence” and “disobedience”.

Stakeholders are still assessing the Hanoi summit between President Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un and its aftermath, and all parties seem to be in a state of uneasy equilibrium. The Trump-Moon April 11, 2019 summit seemed largely uneventful, with President Trump telling the press “I think that sanctions right now are at a level that's a fair level” while not ruling out the idea of easing food shortages in North Korea. Pyongyang adopted a typically minimalist posture in Hanoi.
The Islamic State group Sunday claimed responsibility for an attack that killed 10 people and trapped around 2,000 for hours inside the communications ministry in the Afghan capital the previous day. Four IS jihadists detonated explosives near the ministry, then entered and "battled Afghan security forces with machine guns and hand grenades for numerous hours", the group said in a statement on its social media channels. The attack in central Kabul killed seven civilians and three members of the security forces, the interior ministry said on Sunday, in a new toll after three people died of their wounds.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 23 (Ticker) --
The Minnesota Timberwolves' inept free-throw shooting cost them fifth place in the Western Conference. Scottie Pippen
scored 17 of his 18 points in the second half and Damon Stoudamire
made two big shots in the final two minutes as the Portland Trail Blazers posted a 108-99 victory over the Timberwolves, who were their own worst enemy.
Minnesota and Portland were tied for fifth place in the West. The Timberwolves seemed be to be on their way to gaining sole possession after shooting 68 percent in the first half, but the Blazers were just as effective after halftime.
Portland rallied from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter and forged an 87-87 tie with 4:25 left on two free throws by Pippen. Kevin Garnett
missed two free throws at the other end and Shawn Kemp
made a layup with 4:01 remaining to put the Blazers ahead for good, 89-87.
NBA TV highlights from|
Damon Stoudamire scored nine of his team-high 21 points in the decisive fourth quarter.
Stoudamire nailed a 3-pointer for a 98-92 cushion with 1:38 to go and Dale Davis
made 1-of-2 free throws before Joe Smith
missed a pair for Minnesota.
Stoudamire dished to Kemp for a layup and, after Garnett converted a three-point play, buried a baseline jumper for a 103-95 edge in the final minute.
"In the fourth quarter, Portland got aggressive and we couldn't match it," Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders said. "Then when we got to the line in the fourth, we tensed up and missed."
"We just hung in there and made the big plays," Stoudamire said. "I was just going to keep on shooting. And that's all I'm trying to do out there, trying to make things happen."
The Timberwolves made just 5-of-12 free throws in the fourth quarter and fell into sixth place in the West, three games ahead of Seattle.
Stoudamire scored 21 points to lead seven players in double figures and dished out nine assists. Bonzi Wells
had 15 points and Rasheed Wallace
and Kemp added 12 apiece.
Davis collected 11 points and eight rebounds and Pippen pulled down 11 boards for the Blazers, who held a 46-32 edge on the glass.
Garnett had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Wally Szczerbiak
added 20 and seven as Minnesota lost despite shooting 54 percent (40-of-74).
"We shot the ball well, we didn't get aggressive when they turned the heat up," Saunders said. "We have to continue to work on that instinct from a jump shooting team to taking the ball to the bucket when the pressure is on."
The Timberwolves made just 1-of-9 shots from 3-point range and were only 18-of-28 from the line.
The game was tied, 42-42, midway through the second quarter before Minnesota went on a 15-2 run. Garnett scored the first five points of the burst and Szczerbiak capped it with a dunk for a 57-44 cushion with 27 seconds to go before halftime.
Wells had eight points in the third quarter, helping the Blazers outscore the Timberwolves, 25-14.
"They dictated the tempo and took over the game right there," Sczerbiak said. "We only scored 14 points and that's inexcusable, especially when we scored (57) in the first half."
"All I know is we don't give up," Blazers coach Maurice Cheeks said. "That's the main thing, we continue to play. That's what our team has turned out to be -- a team that wants to win badly. We all knew it was an important game. But it's not a make-or-break game."
Wallace drained a 3-pointer to give Portland a 72-69 edge with 13 seconds left and the teams traded the lead six times in the game's final 11 minutes.


The Blues Really Can Give You The Blues
A novel study by Finnish researchers reveals that listening to sad music can evoke genuine sadness in listeners – something that has been debated for decades but not yet reliably proven.
The new study, published on January 30th in the journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, also reveals that personality plays an important role in our emotional responses to sad music.
Sad music evokes sadness particularly in empathic listeners
In the study, participants listened either to their self-selected sad music or to unfamiliar, instrumental sad music. The emotions induced by sad music were measured as objectively as possible by using indirect measures of memory and judgment.
The self-selected, familiar sad music made all participants sad, while the unfamiliar, instrumental sad music only affected empathic participants.
“There are often sad memories associated with familiar, sadness-inducing music, which may partly explain why familiar music was more effective in evoking sadness in all participants,” explains researcher Jonna Vuoskoski from the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Music Research, University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
The contribution of empathy to the sad emotions evoked by unfamiliar sad music suggests that empathic people may be more sensitive to music-induced emotions overall.
“These results may explain why music affects some people more strongly than others,” Jonna Vuoskoski says.
Listening to sad music is enjoyable
Although sad music evoked genuine sadness in many participants, listening to sad music was found to be enjoyable.
“In everyday life, sadness is experienced as a negative emotion, but this is not the case with music-induced sadness. It is an interesting question for further research to investigate why so many people enjoy sad music – and even music-induced sadness,” says Vuoskoski.

RUSSIA’S lethal anti-tank mine which can blast 100ft in the air and fire explosives from above has been seen in Ukraine for the first.
The so-called “smart-mine”, which is triggered when its target gets within 100m, has never been used on the battlefield before.

Russia‘s PTKM-1R top-attack mine launches itself into the air, scanning the ground for its target, and then firing an explosive slug from above.
Armoured vehicle turrets have thinner plating, making them more vulnerable to attack.
The mine, which is believed to have been introduced into service by Vladimir Putin‘s army in 2020, is similar to the US M-93 “Hornet” wide-area munition.
The mine contains sensors that listen for the sound of approaching vehicles, interpreting the vibrations to detect whether or not a tank is rolling by.
In theory, the mine is intelligent enough to distinguish between tanks and other vehicles, ignoring civilian cars and less important military hardware.
A picture was shared on Twitter of one of the mines placed in a field in Ukraine, reportedly taken three days ago.
The mine is placed on the ground facing upwards with its eight legs folded outwards, according to the Armament Research Services blog.
Four directional acoustic sensors and seismic sensors are set off when the target vehicle comes within 100m.
At this point, the projectile’s flight path is calculated, and onboard systems put the target in their sights.
The mine then tilts down at a 30-degree angle towards the tank.
When it gets close enough, a 6.2lb explosive warhead is launched around 100ft into the air, as the mine’s infrared censors scan the ground below for the tank.
An explosive metal projectile is fired from the warhead at such high speeds that it can penetrate 7cm (almost three inches) of steel armour.
This whole launch process takes just a matter of seconds.
Tank armour has improved greatly in recent years and is often made from lighter ceramic alternatives to the traditional steel plating.
This means they are far more manoeuvrable while still protecting the crew inside.
Weapons developers have, therefore, tried to create a new generation of high-tech anti-tank weapons which strike from above, targeting the weaker turrets.
In November last year, the Russian military posted a video on YouTube, demonstrating the PTKM-1R’s power.
Slow-motion footage captures the moment it strikes an unmanned tank, hanging in the air for a split second before firing down at its target.
It isn’t known if the weapon has been used to destroy any Ukrainian tanks so far.
The country has become a graveyard for Russian tanks, and Ukraine’s military estimates that as of Friday, 986 have been destroyed since the start of the war.
Britain has sent thousands of anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, greatly aiding the war effort.
The Next-generation Light Anti-Tank Weapon, or NLAW, is just a metre long, making it easy to carry on the battlefield.
It has a range of up to 800m and can penetrate armour more than 500m away, despite its relatively low cost of just £20,000 each.
Earlier this month, drone footage captured the moment an entire Russian tank column was obliterated.
Troops from the Ukrainian 54th Mechanized Brigade reportedly targeted the terrifying column of tanks with UAV corrected artillery.
They destroyed the Russian convoy in just a matter of minutes with a series of devastating strikes from hundreds of feet in the air.
Incredible footage shows the combat vehicles being taken out one by one in Donetsk – reportedly forcing any surviving soldiers to withdraw.
The tanks exploded into fireballs, leaving the narrow country road littered with scraps of the vehicles.

It comes as a former Nato chief warned that the West must “prepare for war with Russia,” sparking fresh fears of a global conflict.
Russia released a propaganda video on Friday of a submarine launching a volley of cruise missiles from under the Black Sea at Ukrainian targets.
Richard Shirreff, a former Nato deputy strategic commander for Europe, told BBC Radio 4’s Today program the Kremlin was likely to respond aggressively but assisting Ukraine was still the “right approach”.
He said: “The worst case is war with Russia.
“By gearing itself up for the worst case, it is most likely to deter Putin because ultimately Putin respects strength.”
Putin himself darkly warned he could use nuclear weapons against the UK and European allies in a speech earlier this week.
Today Russian state TV broadcast a chilling map claiming to show how fast a Sarmat ICBM could strike from the Kaliningrad enclave in the Baltic.
It gleefully warns Berlin can be nuked in 106 seconds, Paris in 200 seconds and London in 202 seconds.
Last night Britain’s defence secretary Ben Wallace warned Putin could declare a new world war in days.
He said he fears the Russian tyrant might use traditional Victory Day celebrations on May 9, which commemorate the end of World War Two, for a mass mobilisation of troops.

L-lysine is an essential amino acid and is one of the key building block of muscle tissue. Human body is not able to synthesize lysine hence it needs to be acquired through diet or pharmaceutical supplementation. The recommended uptake of lysine in adults for regular biological functions are reported in the range of 12 to 45 mg·kg−1·d−1. Besides being essential for regular growth, this important amino acid participates in various vital biological processes like proteinogenesis, crosslinking of collagen polypeptides, uptake of essential mineral nutrients, and in the production of carnitine. Carnitine is established to play a crucial role in energy production by transporting long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria and generated toxic compounds out from the cell.
A few conflicting studies also suggest its role for enhancement of athletic performance. Some patented preparations to increase growth hormone in the body and for stimulating overall growth, cell repair and regeneration also used L-lysine HCl as a major component. Lysine is also been recognised as an important precursor for glutamate synthesis, which works as a neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system.
L-lysine HCl can improve calcium absorption as well as improvise collagen quality and muscle well-being in general, and has helped patients suffering from osteoporosis. It contributes to a positive calcium balance by boosting intestinal calcium absorption and improving the renal conservation of the absorbed calcium. L-lysine HCl has also been suggested to be used in combination with minocycline hydrochloride, and metronidazole to treat reactive arthritis or bursitis. With common occurrence in young men and women, this disease can be caused by species of Shigella bacteria, species of Salmonella, genitourinary pathogens, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Streptococcus pyogenes etc.
According to a few research and patented concepts, L-lysine HCl alone or with other active pharma ingredients can be used to treat Herpes simplex I and II infections which are viral by origin.
Usage of L-lysine HCl independently as well as in compounded form has been reported for nephroprotection when radioactive therapy is conducted especially against cancer. The proximal tubular uptake of radionuclide in the renal pathway is inhibited temporarily due to intravenous infusion of concomitant amino acid like lysine protecting the kidney from the radio toxicity.
Treatment with L-lysine HCl has also been reported to be well tolerated and showed a significant decrease in positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
Results have shown that administration by ingestion, especially with food, have much higher safety and lower possibility of adverse effects compared to injections.

Strategies for Counseling Parents and Adolescents
Adolescence is a very important time in the sexual lifecycle. Physical maturity takes place, increased social interaction occurs, and individuals begin to explore intimacy. Parents are still a major influence in their children’s lives and can have an impact on their children’s emerging sexuality, but as children move into adolescence, the influence of peers becomes increasingly strong. Therefore, as counselors, it is important to consider how these influences intersect with children’s and adolescents’ personal questions and experiences with sexuality throughout their development.
To prepare for this Discussion, review the video case study in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about strategies that you, as a counselor, might use to help the parents in the case study effectively communicate with their child about sex and sexuality. Also consider what issues would be important to address and why.

Harnessing the Breeze and the Sun: The Advantages of Home Solar Power Fans
In a world where energy efficiency and sustainability are paramount, home solar power fans have emerged as a beacon of innovation. These cutting-edge devices provide homeowners with a breath of fresh air, figuratively and literally.
As concerns over climate change and rising energy costs loom, the integration of renewable energy sources into everyday life is becoming increasingly crucial. Home solar power fans offer an ingenious solution, allowing homeowners to ventilate their living spaces while minimizing their carbon footprint. Let's explore why these fans are a smart choice for the eco-conscious and cost-savvy.
1. Energy Efficiency:
Home solar power fans are designed to operate solely on the power of the sun. Their photovoltaic cells harness solar energy, which is then converted into electricity to drive the fan. This makes them highly energy-efficient and reduces the reliance on traditional grid-supplied electricity, leading to significant cost savings in the long run.
2. Sustainable Cooling:
Keeping your home cool during the sweltering heat of summer can be an energy-intensive task. Home solar power fans provide a sustainable alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. By harnessing solar energy, these fans circulate air, effectively cooling your living space while minimizing your carbon footprint. This sustainable approach is both environmentally responsible and wallet-friendly.
3. Improved Indoor Air Quality:
Home solar power fans not only cool your home but also contribute to better indoor air quality. By continuously circulating fresh outdoor air, they reduce humidity levels and prevent the buildup of indoor air pollutants. This results in a healthier and more comfortable living environment for you and your family.
4. Easy Installation:
The installation of home solar power fans is straightforward and typically doesn't require any structural modifications to your home. They can be easily mounted on your roof, in your attic, or in other strategic locations. With no complicated wiring or power sources to manage, these fans are hassle-free.
5. Eco-Friendly Solution:
By opting for home solar power fans, you're choosing a more environmentally responsible way to cool your home. You'll be reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a sustainable future. This is a decision that resonates with those who are passionate about protecting the environment.
Home solar power fans are more than just devices; they are symbols of innovation, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. By harnessing the sun's energy to keep your living spaces comfortable, these fans offer a breath of fresh air, quite literally. In a world where climate change is a growing concern and energy costs are on the rise, adopting such eco-friendly solutions is both prudent and responsible. So, make the smart choice for your home and the environment by investing in home solar power fans. Not only will they cool your living space, but they will also help cool the planet, one breeze at a time.

Punta Cana is home to some of the best resorts and restaurants in the world. The resorts are lovely and have delicious restaurants for you to enjoy during your stay. But, what about restaurants outside of the hotel?
Surely you will want to venture a little ways from the resort to get a real taste of scenic Punta Cana! There are so many fantastic places to eat here, and we couldn’t help but list our personal favorites for you and your fiance to try when you arrive! Read on for our top four favorite romantic restaurants in Punta Cana!
Jellyfish Beach Restaurant
Stunning, romantic, breathtaking. These are just a few words that we would use to describe this incredible restaurant. It is truly spectacular. The scenic view of the ocean and palm trees is what destination wedding dreams are made of. We aren’t exaggerating! The use of wood and stone is unlike anything else we’ve seen in the area. We highly recommend this restaurant to all our brides.
We recommend the Lobster and Mojitos! They taste great, and combined with the lovely dining area; it’s a recipe for the perfect romantic dinner.
Noah Restaurant & Lounge
This indoor restaurant is lovely if you are looking for somewhere romantic with a varied menu. They serve Caribbean food, sushi, tons of veggies, and even pizza! It’s perfect if one (or both) of you is a picky eater, or if you can’t decide what style cuisine you want that night. There is something for everyone!
Everything tastes wonderful. The service is excellent, the meals are presented beautifully, and the dim lighting help create the romantic ambiance that you are looking for while in Punta Cana for your destination wedding!
We highly recommend the stewed goat! Yes, you read that correctly. It doesn’t sound romantic, but the stewed goat is terrific!
La Yola Restaurant
Located right on the pristine turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea, the La Yola Restaurant is not just romantic, it’s fun and full of Caribbean charm! The open-air restaurant is decorated with wicker basket type tables and chairs, a grass roof, and white linen curtains; it’s actually really cool looking!
It has a real island feel to it. In the end, isn’t that why you came to the Caribbean? If you get the chance to go here, try the Dominican Coconut Dessert, it is delicious and one of the many reasons we like eating here.
Lorenzillo’s Punta Cana
Lorenzillo’s is another excellent option for a romantic dinner for two! The dark wood, white tablecloths, and dining tables with rails over the water help create a magnificent romantic Caribbean dining experience.
One of the cool things about this place is that they have the lobsters swimming in a shallow boat inside the restaurant for you to see. Speaking of lobster, we highly recommend the surf and turf meal. It’s excellent, and the seafood here is always fresh and delicious. If you’re still hungry for dessert try the Key Lime Pie, it’s mouthwatering.
These restaurants we listed are excellent because they are all different – and all romantic. We know many people who don’t like seafood but still want a romantic Caribbean dining experience. If you are one of those people, don’t worry because you can have that!
Seafood is a big thing here, but there are plenty of tasty alternatives! If you enjoy seafood or have food allergies, then these restaurants are perfect too! That’s one of the great things about Punta Cana; there’s something here for everyone.
We hope you enjoyed our list of romantic restaurants!
If you are looking to have the full experience of going out in Punta Cana you can visit ORO Night Club after your romantic dinner!

You play the Tenorion simply by running your fingers over the 256 LED grid and many Tenori-on's can be networked together. Media artist Toshio Iwai and Yamaha have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century - Tenori-on. A 16 x 16 LED matrix is simultaneously a performance input controller and display allowing everyone to play music intuitively, creating a "visible music" interface. By operating and interacting with the LED buttons and the light they produce, you gain access to the Tenori-on's numerous performance capabilities. The Tenori-on provides six different performance and sound/light modes for broad performance versatility, and these modes can be combined and used simultaneously for rich, complex musical expression. Tenori-on layers can be thought of as “performance parts” or “recording tracks” and the Tenori on has a total of 16 layers. Separate notes and voices can be assigned to each layer and all layers can be played together in synchronization. The 16 layers are divided into six performance mode groups and have different note entry methods and operation. One complete set of 16 layers is called a “block” and the Tenori-on can store up to 16 of these programmed blocks in memory. You can then switch from block to block instantly during performance. You could, for example, create a musical composition in one block, then copy that composition to another block and edit it to create a variation of the original composition. Or you can load a number of previously-created compositions into separate blocks from an SD Memory Card and switch between them to create variation during playback.

Getting started with writing can feel like pulling teeth for many writers. Some spend more time thinking about how to begin writing than they do actually spend writing.
We hope the following writing advice from well-known authors help make it easier for you to start writing.
1. Establish a regular writing schedule
“Decide when in the day (or night) it best suits you to write, and organize your life
accordingly.” - Andrew Motion
2. Your first draft doesn’t have to be perfect
“For me, it’s always been a process of trying to convince myself that what I’m doing in a first draft isn’t important. One way you get through the wall is by convincing yourself that it doesn’t matter. No one is ever going to see your first draft. Nobody cares about your first draft. And that’s the thing that you may be agonizing over, but honestly, whatever you’re doing can be fixed. For now, just get the words out. Get the story down however you can get it down, then fix it.” - Neil Gaiman
3. Have a clear idea of where your story is going
“I don’t want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it’s my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you.” - John Irving
4. Take it one page at a time
“Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page for each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised.” - John Steinbeck
5. Give yourself permission to do nothing
“When I want to do the difficult work of original writing, I often work outside my
apartment, in a library a few blocks away. This gets me away from the temptations of
the Internet, and it also forces me to accept the “nothing alternative.” I say to myself, “I’ll stay here for two hours,” and then I’m stuck. If I’m not writing, I’m just sitting
there. Sure, sometimes I jump up and go look for a book in the stacks, but that
doesn’t take long. I end up writing just to pass the time. At home, by contrast, there’s
no end to the useful tasks that I can find to occupy myself.” - Gretchen Rubin
“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”
- Les Brown
At IABX, our mission is to promote and empower independent authors. We strive to provide useful and valuable information to do just that.

How To Use The Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker
Weber's Smokey Mountain Cooker is ideal for succulent, tasty pulled pork
The Smokey Mountain Cooker is for people who love tender, succulent flavoursome meat without having to constantly keep checking, turning and moving it around the grill. It is ideal for large pieces of meat or fish and for cheaper cuts. The smoker comes in 3 sizes; 37cm (14”), 47cm (18”) and 57cm (22”) so there is one for the smallest BBQ chef to the most ambitious party giver. It has a porcelain-enamelled bowl and lid with built-in thermometer and two plated steel cooking grates.
It is ideal for pulled pork, beef brisket, whole salmon, turkey, chicken, duck, pork ribs, shoulder, hams and belly. The result is melt-in-the-mouth, succulent food with the most sublime taste. You can enhance the smokey taste with subtle flavour from a range of wood chunks; choose from apple, cherry, hickory and mesquite available from Weber.
The charcoal briquettes go into the bottom along with a few of your chosen flavoured wood chunks. Always make sure you use good quality briquettes as cheaper brands often contain a lot of filler and won’t necessarily burn long enough to smoke your food without constantly refilling. As a guide a full load of briquettes can last up to 16 hours at a temperature of 105C (220F); but this will depend upon the quality of briquettes used and the size of the cooker. If you are coming to the end of the smoke you may have to open the vents a little rather than adding more fuel. Place your meat on the top rack and a tray of water on the lower grate; always use boiling water as putting in cold water will lower the temperature, which will not come back up until the water is hot. Inserting a tray of water ensures that the meat retains its moisture.
The smoker holds a constant temperature, so you can relax and leave the food to smoke without constantly checking to make sure that it is still alight and performing correctly.
For perfect pulled pork apply a generous rub to your chosen cut, make sure that it has a good fat content as this is where all the moisture and flavour lie. Try the Rufus Teague spicy Meat Rub to add a touch of heat. Really work the rub into the flesh then wrap in cling film and leave in the fridge overnight. Take out of the fridge a couple of hours before you start cooking to allow the meat fibres to relax.
Fill the briquette holder almost full with unlit briquettes; light 15 – 20 in a chimney starter and place on top of the unlit coals along with 4 – 6 of your chosen flavoured wood chunks. Fill a tray with boiling water and place on the bottom grate; place the pork on the top grate. Maintain the temperature at 100 – 120C (212 – 248F). Once the core temperature of the pork has reached 95C (203F) then it is ready to come out and be pulled apart. The long cooking time enables the break-down of the fibres and the complete rendering of the fat, leaving you with succulent, tasty meat.
If you are serious about your barbecuing and regularly cook for large numbers then conquering the Smokey Mountain will add a whole new dimension to your culinary experience.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a Lakers Gold opportunity to close out a Portland Trail Blazers team that had stirred the feelings of many but ultimately could not withstand the juggernaut that LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers defense have created together.
The Blazers avoided a worst-case scenario when it was announced that the knee sprain for Damian Lillard was nothing more than that following a second MRI on Tuesday afternoon. But Lillard is out for Game 5 and according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports and the NBA on TNT, he’s out for the remainder of Portland’s stay in the bubble, which frankly doesn’t appear to be any longer than tomorrow’s Game 5 with the Lakers leading 3-1.
How To Watch
Time: 6 p.m. Pacific/9 p.m. Eastern
Channel: TNT (National), Spectrum SportsNet (L.A.-area), NBC Sports Northwest (Pacific Northwest)
Spread via BetMGM: Lakers -14
Lillard’s run over the past month was excellent but the Lakers did what elite teams do and stopped it after it showed signs of life. Anthony Davis is expected to play after missing most of the second half due to back spasms. But nothing else matters more for the Lakers than the fact they’re only one win away from advancing.
