Wyoming Teams Up With South Dakota to Promote State Tourism
Despite the ongoing pandemic, many people are still taking road trips for their summer getaway as the season winds down. In the midst of it all, South Dakota and Wyoming have teamed up for the Black to Yellow tourism campaign.
The campaign is continuing to run through the end of September as it encourages tourists to take their road trips from South Dakota's Badlands National Park to Wyoming's Yellowstone National Park.
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem made statements in a press release to promote the tourist journey. Gov. Gordon said:
Wyoming’s unparalleled wide-open spaces give travelers an abundance of opportunities to explore and to do so safely...Wyoming and South Dakota’s new road trip campaign will truly showcase the pioneering spirit, a rich history, and western hospitality both states have to offer.
An itinerary has been mapped out for the specific tourism route on the Black to Yellow website that starts at the Badlands National Park and continues to South Dakota spots like Mount Rushmore and Black Hills National Forest before crossing into Wyoming for stops like Devil's Tower and Bighorn National Forest before ending at Yellowstone National Park. The website also promotes the idea of your ideal road trip taking in the beauty of the wide open spaces and wildlife along your way.
So if you're down for a scenic road trip before fall is in full swing, there's an idea.

Unearthed document gives Willesden Green Library campaigners fresh hope
Plans show Brent Council intended to use area as a town square in 1983
Library campaigners have been given fresh hope after a document was unearthed which showed that Brent Council intended to use the area around Willesden Green Library as a town square almost 30 years ago.
The document was a 1983 outline for plans relating to the original rebuild of the library centre in High Road, Willesden which earmarked a space in front of the library as a ‘public square’.
It also said: “The Council intend to preserve the little building on the corner with its turret and decoration - the wings behind are later additions, and these will be removed to provide some much-needed open space.”
Eagle eyed Martin Redston, who spotted the document, called on the council and co-developers Galliford Try to re-think the application for a town square.
You may also want to watch:
He said: “The council are dragging their feet here; all Galliford Try has done is object to what we say.
“Its clearly obvious the area was intended for a town square and the council have admitted that so why can’t it be accepted.”

- 8 Two men arrested in connection with Jeffrey Wegby killing
- 9 Man admits murdering waiter in Kilburn 38 years ago
- 10 Lib Dem resigns from Brent's budget scrutiny taskforce
The controversial redevelopment plans for Willesden Green Library Centre have attracted much criticism from campaigners. Originally the plans included tearing down the current library and the Victorian library which has stood on the site since 1894 replacing them with a new building 92 flats.
In a bid to thwart the development the Keep Willesden Green Group, which has campaigned against the plans, lodged an appeal to designate the library’s surrounding area as a town square.
However, the plans were thrown out by developers Galliford Try and Brent Council and are set to be redrawn in the coming months.
A Brent Council spokesman said: “We are duty bound to consider all representations right up until the point when the decision is made.
“The document from the 1980s has now been put forward as evidence and will be taken into account as part of the process.”

Columbia in Richland County, South Carolina — The American South (South Atlantic)
Seaboard Air Line Passenger Station
This depot, built by the Seaboard Air Line Railway in 1904, was the third passenger depot built in Columbia, following the South Carolina Railroad Depot on Gervais St., built about 1850, and the Union Station on Main St., built in 1902.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been reviewing a number of films for Cardiff Mini Film Festival. The festival took place on June 26th at Chapel 1877 and Gwdihw bar in Cardiff.
Facebook: Cardiff Mini Film Festival
I Should Have Run was nominated in the Fiction Category.
Let’s get this straight from the beginning. I Should Have Run, in its purest form is a horror movie. We know this because it ticks all of the boxes.
A fox wandering across an un-walked road? Check.
An unseen threat? Check.
Demonic voices? Check.
You can look at I Should Have Run in a number of ways though. If you want to look at it simply as a scary film, you’ll really enjoy it. If you look deeper though, you’ll see some strong underlying themes that hint at the same danger, just in a much more real sense.
The fact that the film is shot in black and white is no coincidence. Not only does it bring the horror to life but it’s another strong layer supplied by a movie that wants us not only to enjoy it for what it is, but to experience what others experience.
Throughout, the protagonist keeps telling herself that she should have run, or should have screamed. The fact that she couldn’t bring herself to and that she was taken by this unseen, demonic presence hints at the depression that millions suffer with on a daily basis. The feeling that they’re unable to do anything about the threat they see looming. It’s like a kind of paralysis if that’s the way you want to look at it.
Now, during our time of reviewing these fantastic shorts, I’ve said on numerous occasions that the things each director has achieved, in such a short film, have been astounding. I Should Have Run is one of the best examples I’ve seen at delivering it’s message in little over 3 minutes long.
Not only did it land that message, it also delivered tension and dread that kept me hooked for the full 3 minutes. It’s a film that got everything right from the way it was shot to how the story was told. Indeed, the fact they’ve moved away from simple, spoken dialogue and used a poem is another masterstroke of a brilliantly produced movie.

A year ago today chills ran down our spines when we heard the terrifying story of the Primark kidnapping.
Two teenage girls snatched a toddler away from her mum in the shop on Northumberland Street and had the city on red alert.
The girls, then aged 13 and 14, enticed the two-year-old away from her mother with sweets and led her into a lift at Primark and out onto the busy street by the hand.
As the toddler’s distraught mother was banging her head against a wall in anguish on realising her little girl was missing, the two kidnappers were taking her on a Metro out of the city.
The pair repeatedly lied about their motives and refused to give evidence about what lay behind the abduction but a judge concluded the toddler was at risk of harm from them or others.
And Mr Justice Globe locked them up for three years and three months youth detention each.
The girls, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to three joint offences - kidnap, theft of dummies and theft of baby bottle and milk.
The court heard there had been hundreds of searches for pornography on a tablet one of the girls owned, including for “kids having sex”, “slavery”, “abduction”, and “people getting raped”.
And they had failed to entice another two-year-old away from her mother in the same store on the same afternoon.
Luckily, a textbook search, sharp police work and good old-fashioned experience brought the case to an end after just 98 minutes.
The toddler was returned to her mum. She remembers little of the ordeal and was not physically harmed.
But it is the police who deserve a huge pat on the back for their diligence and determination and reuniting the toddler to her grateful mum.

INTRODUCTION: The Afghan Foreign Minister, Shah Mohammad Dost, has said that international goodwill and sincerity could help to bring about a solution to his country's problems.
SVs & GV Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mohammad Dost speaking in English. (3 SHOTS)
SPEECH ON FILM (TRANSCRIPT) DOST: "Our stand is quite clear on this matter. We are ready to meet with the Pakistani side, and also with the Iranian side, through direct talks and negotiations. And we have made also this clear: that in case we meet with them, and if the Secretary General of the United Nations; his special representative is present there, this should not mean under the auspices of the United Nations, and also not in the context of the resolution which was passed in November last. So this is our position. It must be cleared. Well, that depends actually on them and probably also, maybe, some others which might be interested in this matter: I mean countries. So far as concerning us, we are ready, any day, any moment, actually for such talks."
INTERVIEWER: "We just started the year, 1981. Do you think this year will bring us closer to any solution?"
DOST: "Well, again I must say, that it depends on the intention and sincerity of the countries concerned, mainly Pakistan, and, if there is goodwill and really sincerity to solve the problem around Afghanistan and the region, and to bring peace and stability in the region, then, perhaps through talks, exchange of views, definitely. One can't see that why there shouldn't be sound solutions for all these problems. After all, we are human beings. We in Afghanistan, and definitely in every country, we want peace and tranquillity for our people and the region, and all over the world. And I believe that this must be reciprocated by all countries. And if that perhaps solution can be found, one way of other, for every problem I think."

Background: INTRODUCTION: The Afghan Foreign Minister, Shah Mohammad Dost, has said that international goodwill and sincerity could help to bring about a solution to his country's problems. Mr. Dost was interviewed in the capital, Kabul, on Sunday (26 January), two days before Islamic nations, at their Saudi Arabian summit meeting, decided to launch their own peace initiative to overcome the Afghan crisis. They have asked the United Nations to appoint a special representative to mediate between Afghanistan and its neighbours. The U.N. Secretary General, Dr. Kurt Waldheim, was reported to be unhappy about appointing a special representative, but observers said he would have to make some positive response to the Islamic initiative. Earlier, President Zia ul-Haq of Pakistan had told the summit he'd received "intimations of flexibility" from Moscow and Kabul. President Zia left these signs suggested it would be a good time for a UN official to start consultations in Kabul. The president's plan was for Pakistan, Iran and the UN representative, to begin negotiations with the Soviet-installed administration in Kabul. Mr. Dost gave his views:

This week, a new YouGov poll reported that the Coronavirus pandemic is harming the mental health of NHS and agency staff, GPs and dentists; 50% of the healthcare workers surveyed across the UK said their mental health had deteriorated since the virus began. Nationwide, crisis services are trying to deal with the Coronavirus, but there is an on-going worry that the UK’s weak mental health system may not be able to meet the rising demand for support.
Undoubtedly, this is not just an issue unique to the UK. In the United States, for example, mental health counsellors have seen a 40% increase in messages for support. Moreover, the most frequent demographic seeking help are those over the age of 35, as opposed to teenagers before the pandemic.
Furthermore, there has also been a change in the pattern of mental health problems people are suffering from since the lockdown measures. Counsellors have stated that in the first couple of weeks, people called in because they were anxious. However, the second wave of calls which are coming in now, are people who are feeling depressed and isolated. Further, reports have found that those who are affected the most, include very poor people and those living in violent situations.
In a time like this, there is an ever-increasing need for people to know where to access help and support. Millions of people around the world are currently experiencing a variety of negative emotions, from anxiety to sadness and anger. As a result, many people are struggling to find ways to cope with the stresses, such as through stress-eating.
Therefore, to tackle stress Nina Porter spoke to Dr Laurel Mellin about how stress is becoming a global issue, and the ways in which we can cope with it.

Iggy Azalea has fired back at her former fiance, basketball star, Nick Young after he threw shades at her twerking skills.
The “Fancy” hit maker who is clearly not here for bullies was quick to fired back and remind him that his opinion of her does not count.
The drama started after the Kream rapper shared a new video of her boarding a private jet over the weekend, and from the video, her friend is seen balancing a bucket of friend chicken on Iggy’s shapely derriere, before she began to twerk. This is not the first time Iggy would be showing off her twerking skills and stirring mixed reactions on social media.
Some of her non-fans have even asked her to consider a twerking career and her raps suck. Her ex, Nick Young felt it was okay to diss her with false-sympathetic tweets in which he claimed his leaving negatively affected her.
“You have more to offer,” the basketballer tweeted, adding that twerking “is all you do now.”
He also added, “I’m sorry I turned you into that.”
Well, Iggy was having none of that diss because she replied, telling Alexa to play her shady songs. “Alexa play Kream,” she tweeted, referencing her latest song that promoted twerking.
Adding, “Alexa, play back seat..fuck it juts play the whole ignorant art tape..then play trap gold. Thanks.”

Some End Of Year Stoic Thoughts To Take Into 2020
If a thing is beyond my control, I am not to blame for it, but if it was under my control, I must think deeply on why I allowed it to be.
Planning for the good to occur is a joy, planning for the bad, is a blessing … The sensible person spends at least as much energy planning for the bad, as for the good.
Everything that happens is a chance to learn. Nothing is good or bad, unless it brings no further reflection.
If I cannot be said to be at fault, I will not accept blame. If I was at fault, I will look closely at why it happened, and will take action, as appropriate, to ensure it doesn’t happen again, if such action is possible for me.
When considering my best action, I will look at the broader picture first, not only the best for myself only.
Being a member of a group is an opportunity to reach heights, but if others in the group are unable to reach them with you, you have in truth failed.
Any problems being faced now, will become irrelevant in the future, no matter how big the problem. We all will die …
If you were there when it happened, and did nothing to stop it, can you really say it wasn’t your fault at all? If you had no control over it at all, yes, otherwise no. Always do what you can if, and when, you can.
You are not one person only, you are a member of the group, the community, the world. Do all you can do, to help the best good come to all.
If you lack the courage to do a thing this time, will you ever have the courage when you have not option but to do it?
A tree that always follows the usual direction of the wind, is a tree that will fall when the wind direction changes. Nature knows this, and acts accordingly. Let Nature be your guide …
Facing fears and acting teaches you to be strong, hiding away from fears allows them to hurt you, over and over again.
If it is wrong for you to do a thing, but others are doing it, it is still wrong for you to do it …

Batboy's a gorgeous new retro platformer with all the usual platformer tropes and a cool sports theme (baseball, predominantly).
Bat Boy nails the retro aesthetic, with gorgeous 8 bit pixel art (although polished in a way that only modern pixel art can be), limited palettes, detailed sprites and backgrounds. Each level has a different theme, ensuring all the platformer tropes (ice level, lava level, jungle level, water level) have been addressed. And the music and sound effects match, of course. It's all high quality, they've done a great job.
Starts by playing like any other platformer; run, jump from platform to platform, bashing enemies, dodging traps, and hunting for secrets. You aren't jumping on enemy heads or punching them though, you're hitting them with a baseball bat - and the coolest thing about this game is that you can also hit just about everything else in the game with it. You can use your bat to bash through rocks, hit enemy projectiles back at them, trigger switches, and even bounce. This mechanic is what makes Bat Boy distinct from similar platformers. The controls are super slick too, so it's a real pleasure to play. The enemies are usually pretty easy to beat; the levels are more focused on creating environmental threats - spikes, slippery ice, lava, pit falls, lots of traps. It does get tougher as you progress but you can pick up gems as you go, which can be used to buy seeds, which you eventually convert into health or stamina upgrades. At the end of each level is a boss fight, much trickier than the other enemies and featuring a diverse range of attack patterns, making for some genuinely interesting (and challenging) battles. I'm not sure how many levels there are - guessing around 10 - but they're a reasonable size and the devs have used the special abilities as a way of locking secrets away (Metroidvania-style), giving you a reason to go back and replay levels.
Thoroughly enjoyable and I'm looking forward to digging back into some of the earlier levels to try and grab more collectibles. If you're a fan of retro platformers, buy this one. It looks great, plays great, has an excellent sense of humour, heaps of secrets to find, and some sweet boss battles.

By Amy Sherman, PolitiFact
A TV ad for Adam Putnam narrated by Florida seniors says that while President Donald Trump has their back, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis doesn’t.
“Congressman DeSantis voted to cut Social Security and Medicare,” said one senior.
“DeSantis even voted to increase the retirement age,” said another man.
Putnam and DeSantis will face off in an Aug. 28 primary. (While the ad tries to link Putnam to Trump, the president has endorsed DeSantis.) Multiple Democrats are also running in their own primary.
The ad was referring to votes DeSantis took on budget resolutions between 2013 and 2015.
DeSantis did vote on nonbinding budget resolutions that called for raising the retirement age and slowing the rate at which future spending would grow. Whether that is a “cut” is debatable.
Putnam cites votes by DeSantis
Putnam’s campaign cited three votes DeSantis cast in favor of budget proposals by the Republican Study Committee in 2013, 2014 and 2015. All three were considered the more conservative budget proposals, and all three failed.
The first thing to know about budget resolutions is that even if they pass, they aren’t law.
“Resolutions themselves do nothing to change law, do nothing to change benefit levels,” said Marc Goldwein, senior vice president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “All they do is set out a plan.”
An analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget stated that the 2013 budget plan transitioned Medicare to a premium support system by 2019 for new beneficiaries, and raised the Medicare retirement age to 70 and indexed it to life expectancy. It also included this policy statement: “Current Medicare benefits are preserved for those in or near retirement.”
For Social Security, the proposal called for switching to another method for cost of living adjustments economists consider more accurate, known as chained CPI, and increasing the full retirement age to 70 and indexing it for life expectancy. The budget would have led to savings relative to the baseline of $129 billion in Medicare and $126 billion in Social Security over 10 years.
The legislation would have balanced the budget in four years, as opposed to U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan, which set out to balance the budget in 10 years.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget referred to these savings as “cuts” but that requires further explanation.
To determine whether this resolution would have actually led to a cut would have depended upon the particulars in any separate legislation that actually became law. It’s possible to reduce future without cutting benefits seniors are getting today, Goldwein said. For example, the government could cut what it pays to providers.
The proposed change to use chained CPI for inflation would not lower seniors’ Social Security checks. It would mean that their checks grow at a slower rate in the future.
Putnam’s ad omits that we face some challenges in funding these programs in the future. Projections show that both Medicare and Social Security lack fiscal balance. It’s likely Congress will have to make changes to current law in the coming years.
While it’s common for a candidate to attack another for trying to do anything to bring the systems into balance, the bottom line is that either Congress will have to slow the growth of the program, raise taxes, or both, said Eugene Steuerle, a tax expert at the Urban Institute. “The growth that is built into the systems like Social Security and Medicare is unsustainable,” he said.
The Republican Study Committee tried to acknowledge the problem of future insolvency, calling for Congress to come up with a plan to protect the program and those in or near retirement.
DeSantis doesn’t support changes to Social Security or Medicare for current recipients or those nearing retirement, said his office spokeswoman Elizabeth Dillon.
She pointed to his effort to help seniors by reintroducing the Let Seniors Work Act in 2015, which sought to eliminate the payroll taxes for seniors.
A Putnam TV ad said, “Congressman DeSantis voted to cut Social Security and Medicare” and “voted to increase the retirement age.”
DeSantis voted for three Republican Study Committee budget resolutions in 2013, 2014 and 2015 that failed. Even if they had passed, nonbinding resolutions alone do not change the law, and therefore don’t cut any seniors’ benefits.
Whether a vote for the resolutions is a “cut” depends upon how you define a cut. They were a cut in terms of the programs’ future growth relative to the baseline. But the goal of these resolutions was to persuade Congress to make changes to shore up these programs in the future to avoid steeper cuts down the road.
We rate this statement Half True.

It is very common to mark metals with lasers for barcodes, serial numbers, and logos on both fiber laser and CO2 laser systems.
Since fiber lasers offer long operating life, a low cost, and low maintenance requirements, industrial marking applications are ideal. It produces a permanent, highly contrasted mark that is not affected by the quality of the part.
A CO2 laser must be used to engrave metal that has been treated with a spray (or paste) before engraving. Marking agents are bonded to bare metal by CO2 lasers, resulting in permanent marks. CO2 lasers are not only fast and affordable, but can also be used for marking wood, acrylic, natural stone, and more.
Laser systems made by Epilog can be operated virtually without special software and are remarkably easy to use.
Different Types of Lasers
Because different types of lasers have different effects on different materials, some considerations should be made.
Metals, such as steel, require more time to mark with a CO2 Laser marking on metal because metal marking agents must be applied before marking. Besides bonding at low speeds, high power, and low speed is also required of the marking agent. Once the mark has been washed off, it’s time to run the piece at a slower speed and higher power.
CO2 lasers don’t remove material when marking metal, so tolerance and strength are not compromised. Anodized aluminum and painted brass are examples of treated metals that do not require pre-treatment.
Marks and Types of Marks (Lasers)
The types of materials that can be marked with Fiber Lasers are varied. Utilizing a laser, engraving requires vaporizing material from the surface of an object. A cone-shaped mark results from the beam’s shape. The system repeats the cycle to produce deep engravings that won’t wear under harsh environmental conditions.
It is common for the top layers to be removed in order to expose the material underneath. Metals that are powdered or anodized can all be abraded.
Objects can also be marked by heating their surfaces. When metals are exposed to high temperatures, an oxide layer is formed on them, leaving a high-contrast image on the metal. As a result of melting, trapped gas bubbles form on the surface of a material, causing a raised effect. In polishing, the metal surface is quickly heated in order to reverse its color.
In the end, the metal surface looks like a mirror. Annealing is used for steel alloys, titanium, iron, and other metals with high carbon content and metal oxide. Stainless steel can also be marked with foam, though foam tends to be used primarily for marking plastic. The best results are typically achieved on darker metals with matte finishes, but polish can be done on all metals.
Considering the following materials
Further, stainless steel can be marked by annealing, etching, polishing, or varying laser power, frequency, and focus. With CO2 lasers, fiber lasers are able to achieve much greater brightness on anodized aluminum than they can with fiber lasers. A fiber laser engraves bare aluminum in gray shades rather than black. Oxidizing or filling aluminum with color is also an option for deep etching.
The laser tends to produce a wide range of colors when marking titanium. By adjusting the frequency, marks can be produced in different colors.
Laser engraving is a quick and convenient method of engraving. A conventional engraving method calls for specific tools and is time-consuming as well. For laser engraving, however, the command is all that’s required, and it does the job without any complication or delay. As a result, the company can streamline its processes and save money as well. Your business will make more profits if you get things made faster.
If you are going to engrave an expensive product or machine, you’ll have to tread carefully. There is nothing worse than damaging a product with one tiny error. You don’t have to worry about anything when you print with lasers. Despite the accuracy of the engraving, there will be no risk of damage to the product.
Better quality lasers
Laser engraving provides high-quality markings for your products, making it one of the most useful methods of branding. Furthermore, laser marking machines are a large investment, and you expect to see results on your investment when you make it.
Laser marking machines use computer-driven beams, so the marks are always precise. Also, I’m capable of printing complex designs and engravings that aren’t possible with conventional methods. It would still be easy to read small text printed on your goods or machines.

Campaigners from Northern Scotland met with the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Davey to urge him to look at the unfair charges imposed by utility companies which are contributing to residents of the North of Scotland having the highest levels of fuel poverty in the UK.
A delegation representing housing associations in the Highlands and Islands met with Ed Davey to highlight how local people are struggling with higher electricity prices than the rest of the UK, harsh climatic conditions and exorbitant heating oil prices in remote rural areas which are off the mains gas supply.
Households living in rural areas of North West Scotland are reportedly paying £1,000 more a year on energy bills than the rest of Scotland, leading some to self-disconnect due to high costs.
A recent survey found that 71% of Western Isles residents are living in fuel poverty compared to the 27% Scottish average.
Housing associations are calling on the government to end regional price levies which are leading to some residents only heating one room of their homes.
Despite being one of the coldest places to live in the UK, standard electricity prices cost 2p more a unit than most of the country and heating oil is delivered by just two or three suppliers with the cost varying by up to 10p a litre.
In addition, the campaigners wish to see the “Economy” tariffs on offer from the electricity companies reviewed to remove price differentials which severely disadvantage off-gas customers.
Speaking for the Highland and Islands Housing Associations, Mr Di Alexander, Chairman of Lochaber Housing Association, said: “We received a very fair and sympathetic hearing from the Minister and his team of senior advisors and the facts of our case were not found wanting. It seems that the Government’s room for manoeuvre on existing pricing difficulties is limited by legal and financial constraints previously given to the energy suppliers and the regulator, Ofgem.
“Our next ports of call will therefore be Ofgem and SSE.
“We will also press all political parties in the run up to the May 2015 general election to give a clear promise to bring the existing unfair and discriminatory energy pricing regime applying in the North of Scotland to a rapid and conclusive end.”

TAMIL ANNUAL CONFERENCE
METHODIST WOMEN RETREAT 2019
BUILDING A CULTURE OF AFFIRMATION.
By : Sis Jennifer’s Dharam
God sees your hard work and faithfulness and wants to increase His influence and spiritual authority over you.
He wants you to know who you are in the core of your being and walk with authority from that place.
We are leaders. People watch our lives. What are we modelling. Great to have programmes but it’s its whats inside of us that counts and people are drawn to that. What is it that you have that is uniquely you that others long for. Do you even know what it is?
One of the ways is to walk in this place of authority as a child of God is to live daily under God’s delight and pleasure over you and resting in His affirmation over you.
What is the culture of affirmation
This is not flattery
It’s all about looking at each one’s potential and speaking it out and affirming them.
It’s about seeing what they have and not what they don’t have
It’s about focusing on the good instead of the negatives.
Jesus himself needed the Father’s affirmation .Matthew 3:17 ESV Jesus had not even done a miracle yet God affirmed him.
And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
So it’s not about the doing but the being.
Jesus always looked and called out the potential in his disciples.
1.Affirmation builds trust and opens doors for input and instruction. You can do this because the emotional tank is full and there is strength in relationship to receive correction.
2.Breaks false humility. So what is false humility. Not willing to accept what you are good in.
Humility is being known for who you are. So affirmation gives you room to function in your gifting without apologizing or walking on egg shells.
3.Breaks jealousy and being competitive. Because you are content and grateful to God with who you are and resting in that. No striving or performance to be accepted.
Breaks the spirit of comparison. How many of us compare ourselves to others. We feel we are …… not good enough, not spiritual enough and we feel we don’t measure up. So when you are affirmed in God and rest in that the spirit of comparison has no place.
4.Breaks the fear of failure and making mistakes. When we are affirmed we feel accepted and find our place of belonging. This creates a safe place to try out new things and not be afraid of making mistakes. Creativity flows. Not stuck in a rut but fresh thoughts from the heart of God.
5.Makes us feel valued and recognize each others gifts and that we need each other. Breaks that spirit of insecurity and feeling threatened. It makes us draw from each other and work in unity in the midst of diversity.If someone more gifted appears what do we do
Instead of empowering with boundaries we shut them down or control them.
African proverb says if you want to run fast run alone but if you want to run far run together
6.Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
What are we saying about each other. There a challenge from God’s heart to covenant our mouth to speak in the fear of God. To speak positive and affirming words.
Stop character assassination. Raise the bar.
To build or to break. Let’s be affirming. Let’s look at peoples potential. Let’s be quick to protect and promote each other.
Let’s build a culture of affirmation .
Knowing all this then why don’t we do it often enough.
We live in a driven performing culture that shapes our identity but true eternal value is found in our identity as God’s child.
We can only affirm others when we ourselves receive God’s affirmation over us.
We can give out only what we have.
Proverbs 139:17,18 ( Passion Translation)
Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me
When was the last time you sat down and heard God speak His affirmation over you as His daughter
Building a culture of trust
When trust is broken mistrust sets in. We all have situations where trust was violated and been hurt. We build a protective wall around us and we say you can only come this far and no more.
Jesus trusted in his disciples even when he knew their weakness. Trust is the only currency in any relationship.
So how about us. We have a filing cabinet about individuals because we have been hurt.
I have heard this line way too many times.
Don’t trust her. Be careful about him. I can’t trust my husband.
We cannot openly share our deepest struggles with each other. Confidence will be broken.
It’s an endless cycle. Today there’s an invitation to respond to God to give up your offense.
Give up your mistrust. Give up our right of being right. Do you want to be right or reconciled.
Let’s start the new year surrendering people and situations that have wounded us. Forgiveness is a choice. The enemy will not let this go easily but let’s fight it with the truth.
I sense God wants to bring a deeper level of openness and trust with each other.

A company loan is the solution to most organization needs. It doesn’t matter what measurement a company is, virtually every organization manager at some point has to consider a loan. A company loan can help a company begin, increase after it’s returning and rising, or get a company through the difficult places that happen occasionally. Deciding on a company loan is really a critical stage, but which loan is proper for you personally and how will you choose between the many various various forms?
Some company owners decide for a small difference on a small business loan and choose to use charge cards to back their startup, expand on a current organization, or help their organization via a difficult stretch. The good reason behind applying credit to account your business is it is often easier to have, or currently present in your own charge card, but there are certainly a couple of significant concerns to using this sort of business financing. The first negative is that unless your current credit line is infinite there mightn’t be enough funding on your own credit cards. The second bad to using particular charge cards is that the particular and company cash flow isn’t separate. This will create havoc if you need to utilize your credit for important particular needs and it may have a similar effect on business funds in the event that you suddenly need certainly to faucet in to your credit for private reasons. Last but most certainly not least, the curiosity charge on charge cards is normally much higher than some of the different kinds of company loans.
A type of credit runs much the same as a credit card. You apply for a small Manhattan Capital Inc distinct credit and centered on your own requirements you’re approved for a certain amount. You are maybe not charged on the loan until you actually utilize the income and are only charged for the quantity you actually use. Still another similarity between lines of credit and charge cards could be the loan is often an unsecured loan meaning no resources are accustomed to guarantee the loan such as for instance houses, vehicles, the company itself. Nevertheless, unlike a bank card organization lines of credit have curiosity rates significantly nearer to a normal loan level.
On the disadvantage these fascination rates are usually variable just like a particular credit card and rise or down over the period of the loan. Another downside to lines of credit is that like a credit card your payments will often be just a little more than the curiosity rate each month.
This may appear such as for instance a plus in the beginning because the monthly obligations are so low. The catch there’s that lines of credit never to extend forever. There is typically a set number of decades for the loan amount to be available. By the end of that time (and occasionally within the past 2 yrs of the payback) income is not longer available. From then on time, the obligations are larger to ensure the money is completely compensated straight back by the end of the loan.
When you yourself have the discipline to make yourself pay more compared to the minimal on a monthly basis to be able to spend down the loan, that could be a great loan to get. It provides for instances when money is tight. You can pay the minimal at these situations without risking a standard on your loan. Even if you don’t have an extensive number of credit, and if you don’t believe a distinct credit is proper for you, all is not lost. There are lots of more conventional types of business loans to choose from:
These loans are what a lot of people think of once they consider finding a business loan. They can be found in two types, guaranteed and unsecured. Unsecured versions of working capital loans are often just available to those business owners with stellar credit, an audio business strategy, and an established organization with an established monitor record. Startups are generally too hazardous to be awarded unsecured working money business loans. Guaranteed working money loans certainly are a small easier to get while the total amount of collateral required to acquire these loans is often on the basis of the credit of the borrower. These loans allow it to be easy for all forms of company to conduct their affairs on a day-to-day basis with accessible cash. Loans are generally guaranteed with houses, and different important assets.
They are short term types of financing accessible when you attack a hardcore spot and so you have income to arrive at a specific time. Your company’records of accounts receivable become a protection for such loans. On the disadvantage the interest charges of these short term loans are generally more than a longterm standard loan, and you are able to end up in a vicious group of using your assets (receivables) before you receive them and then not need money remaining before your next revenue period. This kind of loan must just be looked at in a select several types of instances of disaster like the require to generally meet payroll, buy stock at a benefit, or other necessities.
This type of loan is applied for utilizing the money and resources of the business enterprise alone and no personal credit or credit record of the owner. It is just open to a business with a good report of reliable income, the long-term prospect of substance operation, and quite strong company credit scores.

Andy Warhol would probably have been surprised to learn that his 1964 film ‘Empire’ had given rise to an entire genre. This work comprises eight hours and five minutes of slow-motion footage of the Empire State Building during which nothing much happens. Warhol remarked that it was a way of watching time pass or, you might say, the Zen of boredom. Much the same could be said of the films in Tacita Dean’s two exhibitions, Portrait and Still Life at the National Portrait Gallery and National Gallery respectively.
The most ambitious of these, ‘Merce Cunningham performs STILLNESS’ (2008), on show at the NPG, is composed of six separate films, each five minutes long, of the late dancer and choreographer enacting a balletic version of Cage’s celebrated (or notorious) composition 4’33’’ (consisting, of course, of a silence lasting for that interval). Cunningham — who was by then wheelchair-bound — interprets this by being almost entirely motionless.
So far, you might think, so minimalist. But in one way Dean’s work is almost baroque. The biggest gallery of the exhibition is filled with six large screens, on to which are projected moving images of this motionless, aged man, shot from multiple angles. The whole piece piles paradox on paradox. To see it, you move around the space, while he barely shifts. Dean is devoted to the medium of 16mm colour film, now as outmoded as oil pigment. So the only sound is the quiet whirr of projectors.
‘Portraits’, another of her works at the NPG, consists of 16 minutes of David Hockney in his studio, doing what he spends a lot of time doing: smoking, contemplating, musing on his own pictures. Again, nothing much eventuates. Hockney puffs away and at one point laughs at his own thoughts. You are watching him thinking, perhaps reflecting on the cycle of 82 portraits he had just completed, reproductions of which hang on the wall behind (one depicting Dean’s young son).
Of course, traditional portraiture is created by an artist observing someone sitting doing nothing much. Dean is presenting the observations from which a Velazquez or a Freud would make a final selection — the raw footage, as it were.
Dean has joked that she has developed ‘a thing about old men’. Hockney was 78 in 2016 when ‘Portraits’ was made, Cunningham 89. Other subjects of her filmed portraits include the octogenarian Cy Twombly, who potters around his own studio, reads a letter and goes out for lunch (Coca-Cola plus a turkey sandwich), and the critic, poet and translator Michael Hamburger.
The latter is marginally more demonstrative than the other subjects. He is seen working at his desk, but also reads a poem and discourses on a rare variety of apple that he imported from the west country garden of his friend Ted Hughes. The camera lingers, too, on the orchards that surrounded his Suffolk house.
Dean has in fact developed a thing about fruit as well as about old men. One of the pieces at the parallel exhibition next door in the National Gallery, ‘Prisoner Pair’ (2008), is made up of close-ups of what the French call a poire prisonnière — that is, a pear preserved in a bottle of alcohol. The camera lingers on its mottled surfaces and the gleaming glass around. It’s beautiful, like a lot of Dean’s films.
Personally, I enjoyed the little National Gallery exhibition more than the larger portrait show, because for the most part it consists of stills — paintings and photographs. These add up to a meditation on passing time, mortality and decay, all perennial themes of the still-life genre, and for that matter of portraiture.
However, there is a difference between paintings and sculpture — which are by their nature still — and movies. It is possible, if you are in the mood, to look at a painting or a sculpture for a long, long time. The longer you do so, if it’s really good, the more you see. But you don’t have to. Like most gallery-goers, you could move on after a few seconds.
With film, it’s different. You feel an obligation to watch until the end — which would mean a couple of hours viewing just for the films in ‘Portraits’. Also, you expect there will be action. That’s why very early Hollywood directors devised a frenetic repertoire of chase sequences, battle scenes, dance extravaganzas and explosions (still popular today).
It goes right against the grain to settle down in front of a screen and watch a movie in which nothing happens. That’s what makes Warhol’s ‘Empire’, whatever else it is, a provocatively witty idea. Some of Dean’s works are more than that: intelligent, poetic and profound. Even so, I can’t help feeling that sitting in an art gallery watching a film of inactivity is a highly unnatural act.

Meghan Markle's actress and good friend Priyanka Chopra makes a subtle joke about the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton in the latest web series Citadel. Yes, you read that right!
The Citadel premiered on Prime Video in April. It follows the downfall of a global spy agency. Priyanka and Richard Madden play two ex-spies who try to piece together their past and regain their strength to take on the Manticore criminal organization.
In the third episode of Citadel, Priyanka's character Nadia instructs her partner Mason Kane/Kyle Conroy (played by Richard) to meet with crime boss Baldwin Basto and broker a deal with the military. However, Nadia does not appear in person, only through an earpiece to translate for Mason.
In that scene, Sen Monro's Balduino Basto asked Mason, "Chief of the Armed Forces? You might as well have asked me how to get between the Duchess of Cambridge's legs."
It may be mentioned that neither the makers of Citadel nor the cast has addressed the diss show on the 41-year-old Princess of Wales, who earned the title of Duchess of Cambridge at her wedding to Prince William in April 2011.
Priyanka is a close friend of Kate Middleton's sister-in-law Meghan Markle. The actress was also invited to Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018.
In one of her interviews in 2018, Priyanka said, “I've known Meghan for three years and I'm so happy the way the world has responded to her because since I've known her... she's a young relative. woman of today's world. She is the girl who thinks outside the box. She has always been an activist. She always had a strong voice. She is an ambitious girl of today. I think the world needs strong role models like Meghan. And I think, hopefully, Meghan will be one of those people."
During an explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, Meghan claimed that Kate made her cry before the high-profile nuptials. Earlier, several reports claimed that Kate was the one who broke down in tears, however, Meghan reportedly clarified that it was "the other way around" due to a twitch over the floral dress.

HP UK suffers 85% drop in profits
Tech giant blames a strengthening pound, but its costs also rose over its latest financial year
HP UK has seen its profits for the financial year slump by almost 85%, according to a recent filing.
The filing to Companies House last week showed that HP UK made 1.4 billion from sales during the 12 months to the end of October 2017, up 13.7% from 1.2 billion the previous year.
However, this was undermined by rising costs, with HP recording a 16% increase to the cost of these sales, resulting in gross profits falling 10% overall.
Profits after tax were down substantially, with the company only taking in 2.9 million for the financial year, compared to 18.7 million in 2016 - a drastic drop of 85%.
"The results were in line with company expectations," HP UK stated in its filing, adding that the modest increase in sales revenues was largely due to new product launches during the period.
"An increase in the cost of purchases of products for reselling," it added, was to blame for its gross profit margin shrinking to 6.2% from 7.9% the previous year.
A shortage in the number of PC components coming to the UK market in 2017, coupled with the fluctuating price of the pound following the vote to leave the EU, has forced many manufacturers to up the asking price of their hardware.
HP Inc, Microsoft, Dell, Apple and others increased their prices by as much as 30% over pre-referendum figures, but a revival of the pound compared to the dollar since then has meant HP UK's profits have taken a hit when exchanging currencies.
"The profit before tax margin decreased from 1.9% in the previous year to 0.7% in the current year due to the strengthening of GBP in 2017 by 8.7% against USD, resulting in an exchange loss of 7.34 million," HP UK reported.
While this has certainly affected HP's results, it's not entirely clear what else is causing the drop in profits. Aside from the currency exchange loss, admin expenses soared by 59% during the period, hitting 16.7 million, despite staff expenditure being down.
An HP spokeswoman told IT Pro: "The numbers are a snapshot of a 12-month period which can be impacted by a variety of factors, including those outside HP's control." However, aside from the currency fluctuations highlighted in the Companies House filing, HP didn't point to any other factors in particular.
The spokeswoman added: "HP Inc. reported its Q2FY18 earnings last month including revenue and profit growth up 13% year on year. In the UK HP holds number one market share positions for both personal systems and print."

(CIO Mag) – in Africa, mobile penetration is 82% (104% worldwide), with 14 million new mobile subscriptionsE quarter 2018. According to the new Ericsson Mobility Report submitted on Wednesday 28 November 2018 via videoconference to journalists in Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal (photo), this increase is partly related to the phenomenon of multiple devices and the number of SIM cards per participant.
From Morocco, however, Nora Wahby, Ericsson West Africa's chief, explained that mobile phone penetration rates in Africa could be revised downwards, taking into account the large number of inactive subscriptions.
According to forecasts in the new Ericsson report, 5G is expected to cover more than 40% of the world's population by the end of 2024 and reach 1.5 billion subscribers.
Africa began 5G commercialization with some major service providers. However, "5G subscriptions in visible volume are expected from 2024," said Nora Wahby.
According to the report, "Main levers for 5G deployments include increased network capacity, lower gigabyte costs and new uses."
North America and Northeast Asia should play a leading role in this growth, says the document, adding that 5G will represent 55% of mobile subscriptions in North America by the end of 2024. In Asia Northeast, it will exceed 43%. In Western Europe, 5G is expected to capture approximately 30% of mobile subscriptions in the region by the end of 2024.
According to Ericsson, 90% of mobile subscriptions should be broadband by 2024 in the Middle East and Africa. Two similar markets explain Nora Wahby due to the proximity of consumer habits, especially among the Middle East countries like Turkey and Iran and African countries such as Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal.
Led by adopting communications goods and services, generalization of mobility in Africa and the Middle East should double the number of smartphone subscriptions, "which would increase the penetration rate from 45% to 70% in 2024," said Ericsson West Africa chief.
This also shows that VoLTE subscriptions will reach nearly $ 1.4 billion by the end of 2018, with operators presenting a wide range of new service usage cases.
In the global mobile data transmission, Ericsson recorded an increase of 79%E quarter 2018 compared to the same period of the previous year.
In Africa and the Middle East, it is assumed that average monthly mobile data traffic will increase from today's 2.9 GB to 15 GB by 2024 with a significant consumption of video services and 5G. According to Nora Wahby, the video tracking time has increased to 60%. The rate should reach 70% in 2024.
In 2024, this traffic will be multiplied by nine, compared to five at the global level, which represents the highest growth rate in the world.
"Africa is a key market, suppliers are interested in expanding their networks in cities," said the head of Ericsson West Africa and said that developments would only be possible if governments believe in LTE's contribution to country development.
Mobile IoT connections
For the Internet of Things or Connected Objects (IoT or IoT), Ericsson's report says IoT cellular Internet transmissions should exceed 4 billion in six years. This is a consequence of the boom in NB-IoT and Cat-M1 technologies.
"Of the 4.1 billion IoT mobile connections planned for 2024, Northeast Asia is expected to focus on 2.7 billion – a figure that reflects both ambition and IoT market size in this area of the world," Ericsson .
The mobility report is based on extensive statistical data from Ericsson's global networks and qualitative studies. It provides an overview of consumer habits and also recognizes trends for the future.

In beginning to explain the complex nature of communications research we must explore the context of the media and the audiences who consume media. Uses and gratifications studies seek to answer the question ‘what do people do with media?’ as opposed to ‘what the media do to people’ approach of media effects research. We will seek to understand the hisotry of media research and the origins of uses and gratification research. Furthermore by investigating the strengths and weaknesses of uses and gratifications research we will see the differences between it and media effects research.
Media surrounds us in many forms on a daily basis, and this has become a natural part of life in the 21st century. However an important question we need to ask is why we are drawn to particular media and specifically how these media forms effect us, if at all. These questions formed the basis of a ‘functionally orientated’ research method now known as uses and gratifications (Ruggiero, 2000). This approach was founded to study the “gratifications that attract and hold audiences to the kinds of media and the types of content that satisfy social and psychological needs” (Ruggiero, 2000). Uses and gratifications is considered an “important complement to media effects research” although remaining a separate entity (Rubin, 1986)
Uses and gratification research began in the 1940s when theorist Herzog (1940) explored the popularity of quiz shows. Later, Berelson (1949) pondered the importance of newspaper reading in his research on “What Missing the Newspaper Means”. This approach countered the existing ‘effects research’ and became a contrasing and modern way of viewing our media consumption (McQuail & Windahl, 1993). With the previous research spotlight on opinion leaders, the focus now chanegd towards the uses people made while consuming the media (Williams, 2003). The focus generally moved from what the ‘media do to people’ to ‘what people do with the media’ (McQuail and Windahl, 1993). This early research set the stage for greater understanding of our media tendancies and the evolution of uses and gratifications research.
Media effects sought as ask the question of whether the media shapes society or mirrors it with the former option. Media effects researchers often use examples such as violence in the media creating violence in our societies or junk food advertising to children creating childhood obesity. Many public polls show that people believe there is a strong correlation between media consumption and behavior however this tends to be most commonly for negative situations (Sparks 2012). Media effects research existing before uses an gratifications research with the latter seeing issues with approaching media and individual relationshoips from this angle.
A breakthrough in the development of the uses and gratifications theory, was the publication of the ‘Uses of Mass Communication’ by Blumler and Katz (1974). They understoof the uses and gratifications approach was one concerned with “(1) the social and psychological origins of (2) needs which generate (3) expectations of (4) mass media or other sources which lead to (5) differential patterns of media exposure (or engagement in other activities), resulting in (6) need gratifications and (7) other consequences, perhaps mostly unintended ones” (McQuail & Windahl, 1993, p.134). Katz and Blumler identify that the uses and gratifications theory contained an assortment of objectives and assumptions. The three objectives were, firstly “to explain how mass media are used by individuals to gratify their needs” secondly “understand the motives for media behaviour” and thirdly “to identify the functions or consequences that follow from needs, motives and communication behaviour” (Rubin, 1986, p.285).
