There’s no debate: Pure maple syrup is delicious. Some athletes even rely on its fast-digesting carbs to power their rides in a more natural way, rather than using gels and chews. But since added sugar isn’t good for our health, it’s only natural to wonder: Is maple syrup good for you, and are you doing your health and performance any favors by giving it a pour?
Let’s tap (pun intended) into the science and break down this sweetener so you can decide what’s best for you.

Maple Syrup Nutrition
A 1-tablespoon serving of maple syrup contains around:
- 52 calories
- 0 g protein
- 0 g fat
- 0 g saturated fat
- 13 g carbs
- 0 g fiber
- 12 g sugars
- 20.4 mg calcium
- 0.4 mg potassium
- 4.2 mg magnesium
In comparison, a 1-tablespoon serving of white granulated sugar contains:
- 48 calories
- 0 g protein
- 0 g fat
- 0 g saturated fat
- 13 g carbs
- 0 g fiber
- 13 g sugars
- 0 mg calcium
- 0 mg potassium
- 0 mg magnesium
“Maple syrup does contain nutrients like magnesium and calcium, and these beneficial micronutrients make maple syrup a more nutrient-dense sweetener when compared to ingredients like table sugar or simple syrup,” Kristen Arnold, M.S., R.D.N., C.S.S.D., a sports dietitian, cycling coach, and pro cyclist, tells Bicycling. “For this reason, choosing maple syrup to put in ride food recipes, desserts, or even in coffee will make the food more nutritious when compared to other types of sweeteners.”
But these nutrient levels are fairly minimal compared to whole foods, so you’d need to eat a lot of the sweetener to get a good dose of them, which, as you might guess, is not the best idea to keep your sugar intake in check.
Research (including this study and this study) has revealed that maple syrup contains a cocktail of polyphenol antioxidants, some of which are unique to the liquid sweetener. And a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that maple syrup has a higher antioxidant activity than regular sugar and corn syrup, although not as much as molasses. Some evidence suggests that darker grades, which are made from later season sap, possess more antioxidant firepower than lighter colored varieties. Our bodies use these types of antioxidants to disarm the trouble-making free radicals that can damage cells and lead to several chronic diseases.
“These antioxidants also have beneficial properties when it comes to accelerating recovery from training and overall lowering stress on the body,” Arnold says. “It is important for all athletes to focus on incorporating antioxidant-rich foods in their daily eating patterns.”
But just like with the micronutrients, Arnold says you should focus on eating more colorful foods like sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, berries, and dark leafy greens to max out the antioxidant benefits in your diet.
In addition to containing antioxidants, an investigation out of the University of Rhode Island found that pure maple syrup contains the complex carb inulin, which acts as a prebiotic to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria for better digestive and immune health. But, since the syrup is nearly all simple carbs, it’s up for debate as to whether there is enough inulin to make any difference. Jerusalem artichokes, asparagus, leeks, onions, and under-ripe (green) bananas are better sources of prebiotic inulin.
Calorie-wise, maple syrup is about the same as white sugar, and both contain about the same amount of sucrose (a mix of glucose and fructose). “As far as we know, the sugar molecules in maple syrup are processed in the body the same way as table sugar,” Arnold says. “When using maple syrup, it is still best to treat it as an added sugar.” In other words, a sweetener is a sweetener, and something to use lightly.
A diet high in added sweeteners of all kinds has been linked to a host of health issues, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even the risk for earlier death. And, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that high intakes of added sugars can crowd out important nutrients from a diet.
Certainly, if you are riding up a storm, you can get away with consuming a little more added sugar, but overall, it’s a good idea to keep your intake of sweeteners—even the more nutritious ones like maple syrup—in check. (The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends keeping added sugars to no more than 10 percent of your daily calories, while the American Heart Association suggests the daily target for added sugar—including maple syrup—should be no more than the equivalent of 6 teaspoons for women and 9 teaspoons for men.)
With all this said, there are times when simple sugars like maple syrup can be a cyclist’s best friend. “Its carbohydrate is absorbed quickly by the body, so maple syrup is an excellent choice to boost performance in short-, medium-, and long-duration workouts,” says Arnold.
Maple syrup is made up of glucose and fructose which may offer fueling benefits—multiple sugars allow for enhanced absorption so you have more fuel to utilize when working out, according to Arnold. So, maple syrup can be a good alternative for people who don’t want to take in the flavorings and colors added to many sports drinks and energy gels.
Maple syrup also contains a slightly lower glycemic index than table sugar, so it may deliver a more steady stream of energy. Just keep in mind that maple syrup lacks enough electrolytes needed to help replenish what you are losing in sweat, so Arnold cautions that you need to be getting enough electrolytes, especially sodium, somewhere else. For instance, you could add a little salt to your maple syrup or use a maple syrup sport nutrition product that includes electrolytes.
How to Use Maple Syrup
While maple syrup is less sweet than table sugar, it does have a richer flavor. The only differences among the grades of maple syrup are their color and taste—not their sugar content. Syrup made from sap collected early in the season has a lighter color, while syrup made later in the season, when the weather is warmer, is darker. The darker the syrup, the stronger the flavor. (These are not to be confused with faux syrup made with corn syrup, artificial maple flavoring, and caramel color.)
Beyond Sunday morning pancakes and waffles, maple syrup can add a delicious sweet hit to oatmeal, yogurt, and cottage cheese. Maple syrup’s liquid consistency also makes it great to mix it in iced tea or use it in marinades, glazes, and salad dressings. To replace white sugar with maple syrup in baking, use 3/4 cup of maple syrup for every one cup of sugar. Also, be sure to reduce the amount of overall liquid in the recipe by about 3 tablespoons for each cup of maple syrup substituted.
To fuel endurance activities lasting longer than one hour, you can try using 2 to 3 tablespoons of maple syrup per hour for your carbs and see how your stomach handles this. The brand Untapped, which was co-founded by Tour de France cyclist and syrup-enthusiast Ted King, makes it easy to fuel with maple syrup on the go via gel packs, drink mixes, and waffles that are certainly more convenient than the jugs you see on store shelves.
You can also make your own sweet elixir by filling a reusable gel flask with pure maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Or, make this maple orange sports drink to help keep you ahead of the pack.
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup pulp-free orange juice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon + 1/16 teaspoon salt
- Combine all the ingredients in a water bottle and shake well.
→ The Bottom Line: Undeniably, maple syrup is tasty and can serve as effective ride fuel. But there is no getting around the fact that nearly 100 percent of its calories are derived from sugar, and its nutritional virtues have largely been inflated. So use maple syrup judiciously to add flavor to foods and look elsewhere for most of your nutrition.

The historical area of Rattanakosin Island has won Bangkok the 2011 Asian Townscape Award.
Deputy Bangkok Governor Wallop Suwandee represented the city of Bangkok in receiving the 2011 Asian Townscape Award from Ms. Rumi Ichiba, the Chief of Exchange Promotion Section of the Asian Pacific City Summit Secretariat of the UN-HABITAT in Fukuoka, Japan. The awards were held under the concept of “Living Environment and Urban Revival” to reward model towns and projects which promote the life quality of its people together with environmental development.
The award is given to cities or projects which create an equilibrium between the people’s daily way of life and the environment. Other criteria also include the promotion of safety, the importance of art and culture, the harmony between the city’s landscape and the way of life, the city’s initiatives and its role as a model for other cities in the future.
Bangkok presented its candidacy under the project of “The Living Bangkok Heritage”, which develops and conserves four areas around the Rattanakosin Island, including Plabpla Maha Jetsadabodin Ground, Santichaiprakarn Park, Nakarapirom Park, and Sanam Luang Ceremonial Ground.
Besides Bangkok, three other cities also won the 2011 Asian Townscape Awards, including Korea’s Jeju and Pohang, as well as the Japanese city of Kumamoto.

Journal : Energy and Buildings, Volume 103, 15 September 2015, Pages 118–123
Building-integrated solar thermal systems (BIST) outperform building-added solar thermal systems (BAST) due to smaller heat losses at the back of the collector. BIST offer economic advantages, too. The insulation behind the collector can be used to reduce the heating demand of the building as well as to increase the solar thermal yield. Therefore, less material and labour are needed. Of course, the energy flux to the building interior needs to be considered. This energy flux depends in general on the operation of the collector as well as on the irradiance. Several innovative solar thermal building skins have been modelled in detail to analyze this coupling between the active building skin and the building. However, planners need an easy approach to include BIST into their calculations. Often, there is not enough budget to measure and model the new façade. This paper presents several new and simple models which are more accurate than neglecting the coupling to the building and which are less complex than detailed physical models.

I cannot tell you how happy I am to say goodbye to 2014. This year has been the most physically and emotionally challenging year of my life. I’ve been anticipating this day for months now, everything that went wrong this year haunting me constantly, almost making me forget all the amazing things that happened this year.
Yes, this year was difficult as hell and life through me some curve balls that I was not expecting, but despite all of that, I also had some successful moments. I got to travel for work, I made new friends from all over the country (and world, too!) via tumblr, I got my finances mostly in order by learning how to effectively manage my income and budget, I took a calligraphy course I’ve wanted to do for a while now, and I modeled in a special holiday photo shoot for one of my favorite women’s magazine, Verily Magazine. The photo shoot took place in Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, which is where magazines like Vogue and Elle, amongst others, shoot often. It was pretty surreal!
I also saved up enough money for my trip to Europe this coming Spring, a graduation gift to myself. On that note, I am officially eight (eight!!!!!!) weeks away from having my bachelor’s degree. I signed up for the graduation conferral yesterday and I still can’t believe it. None of it feels real. I can’t imagine what life is going to be like once I’m finally done with school, but I’ll climb that wall when I get to it.
Oh, and I learned how to make ribs! I don’t mean to toot my own horn here, but the ribs I make are pretty freaking delicious. I’m quite proud of myself for that! All thanks to the recipe my boss’s wife shared with me. That changed my life. I see a lot of rib-eating in my future.
I realized that when I focus on the good, the bad doesn’t seem so big or relevant any more. I learned from those awful moments, definitely, but I also have to learn how to move on and learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others, that way I can have more time and energy to focus on the amazing reality that is life. Not every moment is going to be great, but that’s life.
I am not one for resolutions. I refuse to give into the hype of making a promise to myself only to give up within 6 weeks. It’s just setting myself up for disappointment; but I do like making a general list of what I would like to do throughout the entire new year, and if i get to it, great! But if I don’t, there’s always next year. I don’t know what 2015 has in store for me. To be honest, I’m a little nervous about it. There’s a lot of change coming up, and thinking about it freaks me out. I do know one thing though, thanks to the love and support of my family and friends, I made it through this year, so I can make it through whatever the following year plans on throwing my way.
I should probably update this blog more, I’m clearly lousy at that. But I refuse to say I’m going to do it on a regular basis: that never works for me! I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year filled with love, laughter and lots of wine. Thank you for following along with me and listening to my ramblings. Y’all are the bees knees!
P.S. You can see the holiday photo shoot I was fortunate to be a part of here: http://verilymag.com/holiday-party-wear-style-trends-winter-2014/

I was watching Hardcore Hockey the other night, where the hosts were discussing NHL Rule 34.2, which deals with how points are awarded when a goal is scored. The pertinent part of the rule for our purposes reads as follows:
“An assist is awarded to the player or players (maximum two) who touches the puck prior to the goal scorer, provided no defender plays or possesses the puck in between.”
The program showed several clips of goals scored where the attacking team clearly lost possession of the puck, managed to recover, and the recovering players scores a goal. In each instance, two assists were awarded despite the change in possession.
Intrigued by this, I watched both two games on Saturday just to see if I could also spot such an error. In the Calgary-Edmonton game, Craig Conroy scores the 3rd goal for the Flames. On the play, Adrian Aucoin makes a pass to Mike Cammalleri as he skates through the neutral zone. He gains the Oilers zone, loses the puck, gets it back and puts a shot on net, and Conroy buries the rebound. So, you the official tally should read Conroy from Cammalleri, right? Wrong actually, Aucoin was awarded the second assist despite his tenuous connection (thank you, law school) to the play.
Alternatively, on Sunday I watched Game 3 of the Best of 5 USHL playoff series between Fargo and Omaha. Two goals were scored following a recovery by the attacking team, who had been attempting a play prior to losing the puck. In each instance, NO ASSISTS were awarded.
Seeing as how a junior league can get the scoring right and the NHL cannot, is this a case of the NHL directing official scorers to pad stats for players? Are the scorekeepers themselves to blame? Is there a conspiracy afoot? Rule 34.2 allows scorekeepers to use the video replay system to make sure they get the scoring correct, but how often to do you hear an announcement taking away an assist? More often than not the assists are added, or simply changed from one player to the next.
I suppose in the grand scheme of things, an extra assist here or there isn’t hurting anyone. But, in the course of a season, those points add up and can be the difference makers when deciding year end awards and bonuses, not to mention next year’s contracts. Should anything be done about this? David Staples often writes about the unofficial assist, should we start giving guys actual points for these and make the system as useless as plus minus?

When it comes to sleepers, this inconspicuous Ford Transit van tops the list. Powered by a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 from Jaguar Sport, the 540 horsepower available ought to provide more than enough to leave cocky Ferrari owners with their jaws dropped when it blitzes them between stoplights.
It’s more than just an unsuspecting dragster, too. This particular Transit was used as a test bed to help develop Jaguar’s XJ220 back in the late 1980s, and as such, received the brakes and the suspension from the swoopy hypercar. Therefore, it’s capable of holding its own on the track, as our man Justin Law is happy to demonstrate.
Back in the late ’80s, the Benetton Formula 1 team used Ford DFR engines, and were given access to the pre-production Transit vans to move parts and personnel. As it happened, this van was eventually parked in the garage of a certain Tom Walkinshaw, who was closely affiliated with Benetton at the time, and several years later, he needed something to begin developing the then-new Jaguar XJ220’s engine. Using the dusty Transit van collecting cobwebs in the corner of his garage, he mounted the motor just ahead of the rear axle and began his work.
Since the swapped van initially used the standard Transit suspension, wheels, and brakes, it plowed horribly any time he touched the throttle mid-corner. When Justin Law bought the van years later, he modified it with an XJ220’s hubs, brakes, and heavily-cambered tires in an effort to rid the sleeper of its terminal understeer, harness the incredible thrust of the motor, and offer some mid-corner confidence. Penske shocks up front and Ohlins in the rear allow for a little more body control and gives Law, of this year’s Goodwood hillclimb, the confidence to hustle it without fear of topping over.

Vortex’s products are always excellent, but their red dot sights aren’t as well-known as their longer-range rifle scopes. In this Vortex SPARC 2 review, I’ll examine one of their newer red dot sights and see what it can bring to your next tactical engagements or target practice session. Let’s begin.
Vortex Optics Sparc 2 Red Dot Overview
The Vortex SPARC II is a compact red dot sight with a 2 MOA red dot reticle. It does not feature any holdover points. The reticle is illuminated and can be alternated between 10 different brightness settings, powered by a standard battery which can be stored in a compartment on the side of the optic. The lenses are multicoated for increase light transmission and durability. 4 inches of eye relief make this a great optic for high recoil weapons.
This red dot sight also has a set of windage and elevation adjustment dials, though these require a screwdriver or coin to operate. Additionally, the SPARC II as a three-piece mounting base that can be separated or engaged depending on your preferences to allow for multiple mounting heights. This mounting versatility allows it to be used with rifles for smaller weapons like handguns.
Weatherproof functionality and a pair of lens caps to further protect the glass pieces of the scope complete the set. Now let’s take a look at this optic in greater detail.
- 2 MOA red dot sight
- Illuminated reticle
- Mounted on Weaver or Picatinny bases
- Windage and elevation dials
Reticle Type and Magnification Settings
The Vortex SPARC II is a highly compact optic featuring a red dot reticle that measures 2 MOA across. With a 22 mm objective lens, the sight is ideal for close-range encounters thanks to a decent field of view and excellent optical clarity.
Much of that clarity comes from the multicoated lenses set into the ocular and objective ends of the main tube. A pair of flip-up lens caps come with the purchase of this optic. These are excellent for keeping the glass even more protected from daily wear and tear when they are not actively being used.
The 2 MOA red dot is daylight bright right out of the box, making it a perfect optic for tactical or urban combat situations in the daytime hours. But there are also 10 variable illumination settings to choose between, the lowest two of which are night-vision compatible. Thus, the SPARC II is an excellent optic either for daytime or nighttime shooting requirements.
The red dot reticle is extremely simplistic and clean, featuring only a single circle along the outer perimeter of the lens. As such, it’s perfect for keeping moving targets in your sight.
The illuminated reticle is powered by a standard battery that lasts for thousands of hours on the highest possible power setting. An additional storage compartment for a spare battery is located on the right-hand side of the scope relative to the ocular lens. On the left-hand side of the scope’s rear, you’ll find a set of easy to press buttons that makes swapping between illumination settings relatively easy.
You can usually set the SPARC II to offer 4 inches of eye relief depending on how you mount it to your weapon. This is a fantastic eye relief value for high recoil weapons or automatic guns.
Altogether, I was pleased by the SPARC II’s optical qualities and excellent reticle design and placement.
As a red dot optic, the SPARC II is ideally suited for engagements at or below 100 yards, although its bright reticle settings and night-vision functionality allow it to push your engagement distance beyond this limit depending on the weapon platform you combine with it.
But it’s definitely a tactical or urban combat sight rather than a pure hunting optic. I’d recommend that you use this for engagements within naked-eye distance; the optic doesn’t magnify to any degree, only offers accuracy enhancements with a red dot reticle and clear lenses.
The SPARC II comes equipped with both windage and elevation adjustment turrets, located on the side and top of the optic, respectively. These turrets offer a resounding click each time you shift them to degrees of 1 MOA each way.
However, these turrets/dials must be operated with a coin or screwdriver, featuring a cap that you have to remove to make the adjustments. This does make it more difficult to snappily change these variables in the middle of a firefight, but it’s not unexpected for a red dot optic.
Parallax is already compensated for in the lenses of the scope, so a parallax dial or turret is both unnecessary and not present.
The SPARC II is designed with a modular three-piece base. This base design gives it four distinct mounting heights to let you combine it with a wider variety of weapons or customize its performance according to your preferences.
It also features a rail base that works with Weaver or Picatinny-style bases, so whatever weapon you plan to combine with this optic must have one of those rail bases installed already.
As an example of its versatility, you can set it for absolute or 1/3 co-witness mounting heights, or alternatively set it to a much lower base mounting height to let you easily combine it with shotguns or handguns. It’s an excellent mounting system through and through.
Like all Vortex optics, this scope is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and has been precision machined to ensure optimal mounting performance and lightweight but durable consistency. It’ll resist shock damage or impact wear and tear admirably. It’s also been nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed to protect it from water or fog damage, alike.
Ultimately, you can take this scope into any type of inclement weather and still enjoy its advantages without having to worry about its performance. The lens caps I mentioned earlier add to its overall longevity.
Best for Urban Combat/Tactical Situations
This optic is best used as a capable and reliable red dot optic for urban combat or tactical situations. You can also use it as a primary optic for spending time at the shooting range or as a primary sight for your shotgun or handgun given its variable mounting options.
It’s also small enough that you may be able to pair it as a secondary optic with a larger rifle scope depending on the size of that scope. But overall, I think it’s a great choice as a primary tactical handgun optic by itself.
The only real drawback I found was the predictable one: the lack of toolless windage and elevation adjustment dials. This is an expected flaw, but I’ve seen Vortex create adjustment dials with raised bars to let you change those dials with your fingertips. The lack of such dials here is odd and unnecessary, even if most other red dot optics on the market also require tools to adjust their windage and elevation dials.
Concluding my Vortex Sparc 2 Review
Overall, I am very satisfied with the SPARC II’s performance and benefits. Its excellent optical system and phenomenal, daylight-bright reticle make this a great tool for indoor or outdoor use alike. Its weatherproof functionality and its multiple mounting options help to keep this relevant for virtually any tactical shooter, whether they favour rifle weapons or handguns.

It’s #FiveMinuteFriday by http://katemotaung.com and today’s word prompt is Haven.
What is Haven? its a place of shelter and safety.
For me, my haven is in Christ, being able to wake up everyday to the knowledge that i am a child of God and that he holds my world in his hands. Everyday we go through so many things, situations that could break us completely. Without Christ i don’t even know where i would be.
Sometimes as christians we may think no evil is meant to come to us or we would not have any bad things happen, but thats not the case. But thankfully, yes bad things may happen but we know that as children of God, he calms the storm, he never said we won’t have troubles but he takes us up in his arms through the storm. The storms we go through make us stronger and increase our faith in Christ. He may seem like he is asleep through our storms especially times when we are praying and praying for an answer or solution and it seems like he is silent. Just like when the disciples were in the storm, he was asleep.
I see so many depressed people looking to the wrong places for peace, not knowing the real peace is found in Christ. There are so many times, i look at my dreams and aspirations, where i am in comparison to them and feel so incapable but then i remind myself of who i am in Christ
Some bible verses i love to read in times of stress and confusion are:
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken: Psalm 55v22
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11v 28-30

Black Pink launches daily life show ‘Black Pink TV’
YG Entertainment’s new girl group Black Pink launched reality show “Black Pink TV” on Naver’s V app, as well as on YG Entertainment’s official blog and Naver’s TV cast, on Thursday at 10 a.m.
According to an industry watcher, the show was created to communicate better with fans, and is expected to show members’ daily lives and behind-the-scenes footage of their music performances.
The first episode showed a glimpse of Black Pink members getting ready for their performance on SBS’ music channel “Inkigayo,” on Sunday.
The members showed their bare faces as they left their accommodation early in the morning, as well as their fully made up looks in SBS’ waiting room.
Behind the stage, the members were just like sisters, being wild and cheery.
The local reports claim that “Black Pink TV” is likely to enjoy much popularity as the audience would be able to see the members’ honest and friendly characters, not just their charisma on stage.
Meanwhile, Black Pink has topped seven main local music charts, China’s QQ Music charts, 14 nations’ iTunes charts, and US’ Billboard’s World Digital Songs chart.

The secret to Picholine is that it is always packed but if you go there right before 8 all the theater crowd departs. You can get a seat at the bar and you just order the seven cheese plate. They'll come out with the cheese cart and the fromagier talks about all the cheeses. You pick your seven cheeses and they come out and it's a full meal. You have your different wines with your cheeses. It's not that crazy expensive because you're just eating the cheese. My wife Beth and I go there for anniversaries and Valentines. You don't even have to book in advance. You just show up and you can just get a table if you go right at the right time.

The Impregnator Ch. 21bycsn61©
The finale is round the corner and the King is pleased with his bodyguard's plans
After return to Palace I entertained my tired body with Queen Jyothi Once again. This Time she looked at me seductively and whispered,
"Can we do it in Garden among Birds and bees? Anu was telling me..." she said and licked her lips with a mischievous tongue.
My rampant cock did a somersault in my loin clothes and my heart beat wildly at the thought of disrobing this big structured lady in broad sunlight on the Royal lawns.
My hands would not remain idle that morning as we walked to the garden in expectant and aroused state. My hands naughtily rubbed her swaying big buttocks robed in red Silken saris. I could not any loin clothes below the thin silk as Jyothi never wore any.. I stopped her midway and hugged her amorously and kissed her lips lustily with a plop sound right in front of her wedding painting with King Namarda. 'Will there be anyone luckier than me, I thought, 'husband giving away all His queens for me to explore and exploit them'?
My chest pressed her against soft cushion-y tits and her nipples were hard as bullets burning through our clothes. This only added fuel to my loin fires and I literally dragged the First Queen to the bright sunlit gardens. There were obviously no one there as she had arranged it to be so.
I kissed her all over her soft cashewnut colored skin of her face and met her wet lips with mine and and explored the soft confines of her mouth playing out a tantalizing fight with the slithering tongues.
She was gasping and kissed me wildly and tore my silken shirt way and My loin clothes came off as she removed it single handedly with a flourish and her own clothes were falling away like autumn leaves to join the heap at our feet, She was fair and even pink and was built solidly as I have described earlier. She was caressing my cock ardently pumping hot blood thigh my arteries and m seed was boilng as I buried my head in the soft valley of her big boobs licking all around the big areola and making goose bumps appear.
The birds were chirping, butterflies aflutter and our bodies bathed in bright sunlight anxious to mate wildly.
It was then at this precise moment that I saw it at the corner of my eyes.
I was not intending to, You see, busy as I were with amorous fondling of Jyothi's huge tit balls, but I did.
The Royal Palace was in the back ground and so were Queen's separate quarters,The Harem, separate palaces by themselves with silk curtained windows. I saw the movement of a man near the third window through the crook of Jyothi's armpits.
It was Queen Anu's Quarters. I don't why I worried but suddenly I felt distracted and anxious as Queen was pregnant and I suspected she would be on the hit list of the mysterious killer.
I pushed Queen Jyothi away and rushed to wear my clothes. She stood beautifully naked her butter white skin shining with perspiration, a goddess with bewildered eyes.
"Wha..what...?" she fumbled but I turned away.
"Please wear your clothes, Jyothi,,We'll do it later.I have to go", I said sweating and gasping as I dressed myself hastily
I ran up to the Harem. I ran past bewildered guards and security men straight into Queen Anu's chambers.
I burst into the room and there she was..She was talking to the Home Minister Raman who had come on a casual visit to check on her welfare.
They looked at me surprised. Queen Anu stood up, her dark complexioned buxom figure more accentuated with the oncoming pregnancy.
"Why, My darling...", she said softly and rushed to me. I hugged her briefly. I nodded to Home Minister and apologized for the sudden entry,saying 'something was on my mind.
I made polite apologies and departed, but somehow I was not fully relieved.
I was soon accompanied by sahana and she was telling me that Shanti was ill today and that she ( sahana) herself would look after me round the clock.
We were in my room and I was on the settee and Sahana was sitting on the floor at My feet. 'With my feet ' I should say as he had my feet up on her soft silky but strong folded thighs as she sat cross legged and slowly massaged them up and down from ankles to knees and back again.
It was very comforting and warm and naturally my cock which had retreated to its shell after the disastrous half mating with Jyothi awhile ago was getting rejuvenating with all these caresses.
Sahana looked at me and asked,
"What's up, My Lord?, You are not your usual self today" "Yes , sahana, It bothers me still...." I said looking down through her low neck blouse where she had girded up her considerable breasts with the security uniform. I was at a vantage position , you see she sitting down at my feet. The breasts swayed and shook lasciviously in the close confines of her dress.
"What does, My Lord,?" she said, her hands stole up over my thighs suddenly,dangerously close to my burgeoning straining manhood.
I bent my knees so that my right kneecap now pressed against her tempting tits , I rubbed my knee caps even I sat in the same position all over and I could soon feel her big hard nipples against my probing naughty knee cap.
" What the prisoners , Hola and Wassana said about the mole and killer in our palace.." I lingered.
Her hands suddenly stopped. Her eyes were clouding too with a serious look,
" You Know, My Lord, I have been thinking too..."
"About when you will get your chance to become pregnant and take maternity leave?" I humored , to which she smiled but she was not amused.
"We can set up a trap, you know..." she said pushing her soft cushions of her tits up tight against my right kneecap as if to drive home her point. Her 'points'of course were burning through my silk robes warming me up all the way to my already fired-up loins.
"Like what?", I asked and bent my waist forward so my hand could fondle the soft tit flesh of hers which was bunched up snugly about my kneecap.. My hands went through and she gasped huskily and did not stop me as I palmed her heated soft breast globes kneading them.
She mumbled "mmmmm..uahh" Or something to the effect and I could see her eyes were lusty mad too. I knew if I did not stop, she would certainly go all the way. Throwing caution to the winds about her propriety as she was my servant and I her master. Mind you, these were not my orders, but her own self ingrained set of service rules. I was of course, all for female liberation.
Talking about liberation, it was I who now 'liberated' those tightly restricted tits from her tops and the poor dears sprang free, her nipples hard and aroused and perked up and seemed to thank me for the good deed.
I threw both caution and her blouse to the winds , so to say and she was deliciously topless now. Her blouse lay six feet away where I had tossed it. "But you see, My Lord," she said oblivious of her state of dressing . "We can go as camouflaged security men and hide somewhere and wait for the killer to appear.. That way..."
I was interested in only one way and that was to savor her juicy looking jugs . I hauled her up both hands, she was a big heavy woman, mind you but lust is a great energizer and she was over me in seconds.
I made her straddle me, now her soft vee between her ass and pussy against my rigid cock pinning it below .I gasped sorrily at the inconvenience of having my cock resting at her portals but layers of our dresses refusing entry to it.
I hugged her big smooth bare black skinned back and buried my hands in the sweet perspiring female aroma of her boobs.
"Ahhh" She said as if she yawning but she was aroused. We had done this so many times now, I mean these necking sessions but not going all the way, saving it up to the end and I was not about to break it now and spoil it for us.
But some fun and games were surely required to relieve my tensions and she played along, the lusty wench that she was.
I kissed her yielding tit-flesh and licked around her engorged brown nipples, sucking them alternately , deeply into the cavity of my mouth and letting them pop out into the cool air of the room outside making her clutch me tightly about my shoulders and thrust her chest more insistently to my hungry mouth.
I fed on her black soft breast flesh and my saliva was all over them making them shine in the sunlight.
"But sir..." She managed to get a word in "you have to listen to me..."
I said "sure... sure".... but I am not too sure how it sounded to her as my mouth was filled with her right breast and I was talking without giving it up!
"Let's do it tonight", she announced brightly.
I reluctantly released her soft boob from my mouth and stared at her slightly perspiring face and aroused eyes that meant something else.
Before I could say anything she clarified, " Yes..I mean the camouflage and waiting for the killer part...Not what we are doing..."
I knew that she knew that I was worried.
My hands rode up her thighs all the way to her wet mons below the silky loin clothes and probed the wet frontage with my forefinger and I could feel she was clearly excited.
"..How sad ,,I thought you meant us finishing what we have been attempting for a long time now" I said innocently as if I was unaware of her meaning. I was bluffing and she knew it.
She put her hands around me in a most unprofessional way for a bodyguard, almost like a lover now and looked deep into my eyes and whispered.
"That will be be there at the end..and I will never my give up my chance to mate with you and beget your child...Have I not earned the right now?"
Again before I could say anything she went on,
" Tonight let us dress up like security men and stalk the quarters of Queen Anu and wait for him"
I said, "Yes but I have a better plan for doing this..We will dress up as Security men but we will stay out of sight of even the regular security men and will make our appearance only if we see something suspicious that is beyond their control"
"Yes, I will guard your back , of course" she nodded to herself and now stood up reluctantly knowing that this hot session was thus aborted. She went over to pick up her blouse on the floor.
I went behind her and patted her considerably big derriere and said " No, I will guard your 'back'.
When she turned to me surprised I drove my point home saying,
"I prefer the 'background', you see, when such a brave soldier like you are taking charge of this operation", I said fondling her rounded back once more.
The pun was not lost on her and knowing me she was not going to 'back out' of this proposal either!
The Sting operation in the Night!! and will the killer make his attempt now? Wait and watch!! I won't be gone too long now.


IntroductionIn this article, we will learn to set up our device and Burp Suite for capturing network traffic of an iOS application. All the test cases encountered in the process will be covered. A walkthrough of the previous article is recommended before starting this one.
Identifying the communication protocol
An iOS application may use any application layer protocol for communication with its server. Identifying the network communication protocol is the first step in traffic analysis. Most of the applications communicate over HTTP due to its ease of implementation of worldwide use. But other protocols may also be used or even raw sockets may be used by the application if required. For example, the famous application ‘WhatsApp’ uses XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) for communication.
Identifying the communication protocol requires use of a tool like Wireshark, TcpDump etc. or it may be done by using self-developed script written in any popular programming languages like python or ruby. We will discuss about traffic analysis of iOS applications on HTTP(S). Let us take up the example of twitter iOS application.
We need to connect our device with a WiFi connection provided by the computer so that the packets can be captured using Wireshark. We do the same and first note down the local IP address of our device (10.42.0.208 in this case).
Now we start Wireshark on our computer and put a filter for matching the IP Address of our device.
On gathering information about the IP address found in Wireshark, we observe that the IP address belongs to the hostname api.twitter.com which confirms that the Twitter iOS application communicates over HTTPS.
As seen from the screenshot, twitter uses HTTP for communication.
Capturing iOS Application’s HTTP Traffic using Burp Suite
For capturing HTTP traffic on Burp Suite, we first need to start a proxy listener in Burp Suite as shown.
Go to Proxy → Options → Proxy Listeners.
Edit the default running instance or add a new one.
Choose a listening port (should be greater than 1023 and non-busy) for your proxy, for example 8282 on the IP Address of the interface which is connected to the same network as the iPhone device. If you would like to switch networks too often, you can make it listen on all interfaces. If this is to be done, it needs to be done very responsibly (carefully).
Configure the proxy settings of your iPhone to match the proxy listener of Burp Suite.
Once you are done with this, open Safari and navigate to any HTTP website such as http://www.bbc.com and observe the Proxy → HTTP History Tab in Burp Suite.
It can be also noted that the Target Tab starts recording the network traffic and scanning it for potential vulnerabilities.
Capturing HTTPS TrafficIf we try to capture network traffic from an HTTPS website such as google.com or yahoo.com, we get a message in our browser as shown in the screenshot.
Many websites these days and also our target application i.e Twitter is on HTTPS. Also, applications implement HSTS Flag i.e HTTP Strict-Transport-Security to disallow access of APIs over HTTP. In order to capture the traffic, we need to install the CA certificate of Burp Suite in order to make the website trust us. This can be done very easily by following the steps shown here. At first, we need to make sure that Burp proxy is correctly configured to intercept traffic from the device on to Burp Suite.
Navigate to General → About → Certificate Trust Settings.
Now, if we try to capture HTTPS traffic, we will be able to do that successfully in Burp Suite.
Moving on to Twitter application, as we launch the application we notice that application traffic cannot be captured. Checking the ‘Alerts’ tab, shows us a message as shown in the screenshot.
This indicates that the application has got SSL Pinning implemented. SSL Pinning is used by developers to improve the security of a mobile application. For detailed information about SSL Pinning, refer to: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Certificate_and_Public_Key_Pinning
If SSL Pinning is perfectly implemented, SSL traffic from an application wouldn’t get captured on Burp Suite or any other tool. But if not, the attacker would be able to bypass it. For bypassing SSL Pinning in iOS applications automatically, the tool named ‘SSL KillSwitch’ needs to be used (Manual Bypassing of SSL Pinning will be covered in Runtime Analysis). Download the deb package from the URL ‘https://github.com/nabla-c0d3/ssl-kill-switch2/releases’ and install it as shown in the screenshot.
It can be enabled from Settings → SSL Kill Switch 2 as shown here.
If we launch the application now, we will observe that the network traffic will get captured in Burp Suite.

What changes would occur if we, as a human species, all around our globe, actually woke to the reality that we are truly One eco-system?
We are interwoven, interconnected, and not separate from one another.
This is not a “woo-woo” New Age thought. It is not a hypothesis. It is reality.
A species doesn’t vanish from the earth without the whole system shifting in some way. Each year between 200 to 2,000 species leave the earth forever every 360 days. Scientists estimate that 150 to 200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become extinct every 24 hours. The Earth is losing animal species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the natural rate — greater than anything the world has experienced since the extinction of the dinosaurs nearly 65m years ago.
Life in our seas — from coral reefs to fish — are in a extinction process at a mind-blowing rapid speed. Whether this is a result of suffocation from plastics or from diseases caused by highly toxic materials being dumped into our seas, the overfishing, the habitat loss, and the oil spills from drilling, the fact is that life is leaving us. Scientists are stating that by 2048 the fish and coral will be extinguished in our oceans. No more. Gone.
Human beings who live by the sea and depend on the ocean as their main resource for livelihood and survival already know the magnitude of the impact of climate change. We are in an emergency state for real — way beyond the dangers at the Mexican border, our Earth is in crisis. But instead of mobilizing in a urgently appropriate response, we are currently speeding up the process of extinction by revoking the laws we previously had in place that slowed down the destruction and gave some level of protection.
The bizarre thing is that we know all of this. We know it in our guts. We appear to not care… enough.
As a psychotherapist, I have wondered how humans are not more alarmed and moving into radical action? Is it that our defense mechanisms of denial are so strong in response to a threat to our survival that we can’t face it and we will just go on pretending it’s “business as usual” until one day, we just can’t.
Or, is it that people in power appear to have endless greed and lust for more money and power that they must try to cast a spell of doubt and disbelief that climate change is real? Maybe it’s that we, as a society, are so addicted to the need for immediate gratification that we just don’t want to be inconvenienced and have to sacrifice our comforts. And humans resist change, so why not support the people in power who don’t confront — and make us confront — the crisis that we are in. Who do we choose to make and repeal laws that lead to either more destruction or reconstruction?
What can actually be keeping us in this much of a trance and delusion that we, as a civilization, are not acting sane in response to the global disaster that we are actually already in?
Our houses are burning down by out-of-control fires. We are running out of water. Our locales are declared to be without safe water to drink. We evacuate our homes because hurricanes and tornadoes are some of the worse we have ever seen, and afterwards finding our neighborhoods looking like war-zones.
When one part of the human body is hurt, the rest of the body will compensate for it and be impacted. It is the same with the earth. The globe is one globe. One Earth. One eco-system. We are abusing our “earth body” to such a degree that it is insane to believe we can sustain. How much abuse can we withstand? The strain is getting way too much…
It’s the only thing that matters because if we don’t have an inhabitable body, we do not exist.
When we delude ourselves to believe we are separate, we operate as competitors and we accelerate our destruction. When we align with reality that we are one, we naturally cooperate, unite and harmonize.
We cannot expect our egos and conditioned minds to truly understand the enormity of all of us being one eco-system.
Yet, if we acknowledge the validity of science and invest in its merit, we can break through denial in order to address the reality that everything is interdependent, forming a synergistic and self- regulating, complex system that maintains and perpetuates life in all its various forms living on this planet.
If we dare to truly pay attention, we would hear the alarm and for survival sake, we would graduate from child-like thinking to big awareness strategies. We would naturally make choices in alignment with being on the same team — the only team. The team that is about survival and sustaining. The paradigm shift is that reverence for all beings (respect, harmony and cooperation) are essential for survival and thriving.
This is another step in our practicing the goodness breath. Let’s practice awareness that the air we breathe is one with the air that all beings are also breathing. All plant and animal life engage in a respiration process occurring on a cellular level, involving an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Bottom line, all sentient beings are breathing. We inhale and exhale into awareness of our Oneness.
This leads to a natural evolution as we look closely at our own choices in our lives and re-align them to demonstrate awareness of our one eco-system. Along with this consciousness comes the clear necessity to have only representatives in our government who understand the danger we are in and are determined to powerfully step up one-hundred percent to our global urgency.
What else matters this much? What else is there really?
Here are some ways we can all be reducing our own plastic waste:
- Bring your own reusable shopping and produce bags to markets, and avoid using single-use plastic bags.
- Bring your own reusable coffee cup when going out to get beverages.
- Like sipping through straws? Get a reusable stainless steel, glass, or bamboo one to use instead of wasteful plastic ones.
- Instead of buying water in plastic bottles, invest in a water filter and reusable water bottle(s). Bonus: it’s cheaper in the long run.
- Make your own reusable cloth bags from old t-shirts, using basic sewing skills.
- Choose clothing and other personal items made from earth-friendly materials instead of microfibers and other synthetic fibers, which pollute our water.
- Bring a reusable container to a restaurant with you when you expect to have leftovers.
- Refuse straws: It’s as simple as adding, “No straw, please” when requesting beverages at restaurants or cafes.
- Refuse beverage tops. (Are you really going to spill?)
- Pick up trash in your neighborhood and when visiting parks and beaches.
- Recycle the plastics you use and no longer need.
- Return single-use bags to grocery stores for them to recycle.
- Does your city or state have bans on single-use plastics? Send a letter or call your local elected leaders, urging them to ban plastic bags and other single-use plastic items.


text: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is used increasingly in hereditary cancer patients' (HCP) management. While enabling evaluation of multiple genes simultaneously, the technology brings to light the dilemma of variant interpretation. Here, we aimed to reveal the underlying reasons for the discrepancy in the evidence titles used during variant classification according to ACMG guidelines by two different bioinformatic specialists (BIs) and two different clinical geneticists (CGs). We evaluated final reports of 1920 cancer patients and 189 different variants from 285 HCP were enrolled to the study. A total of 173 of these variants were classified as pathogenic (n = 132) and likely pathogenic (n = 41) by the BI and an additional 16 variants, that were classified as VUS by at least one interpreter and their classification would change the clinical management, were compared for their evidence titles between different specialists. The attributed evidence titles and the final classification of the variants among BIs and CGs were compared. The discrepancy between P/LP final reports was 22.5%. The discordance between CGs was 30% whereas the discordance between two BIs was almost 75%. The use of PVS1, PS3, PP3, PP5, PM1, PM2, BP1, BP4 criteria markedly varied from one expert to another. This difference was particularly noticeable in PP3, PP5, and PM1 evidence and mostly in the variants affecting splice sites like BRCA1(NM_007294.4) c.4096 + 1 G > A and CHEK2(NM_007194.4) c.592 + 3 A > T. With recent advancements in precision medicine, the importance of variant interpretations is emerging. Our study shows that variant interpretation is subjective process that is in need of concrete definitions for accurate and standard interpretation.

In 1989, comic book writers Randy Stradley and Chris Warner pondered the “What If?” question that ultimately led to the Alien Vs. Predator comics, video games, and movies. Now writer Scott Sigler is posing a somewhat similar question in Aliens: Phalanx (paperback, Kindle), a new novel in which our favorite visitors tangle with some people with pointy sticks.
To start, what is Aliens: Phalanx about and how does it connect, both narratively and chronologically, to the movies, games, comics, and other books?
Aliens: Phalanx is about a pre-technological society facing off against xenomorphs. The book looks at the grand scale of internecivus raptus, how the spread of that species would cause cataclysmic damage to a civilization.
Where did you get the idea for Aliens: Phalanx?
I worked with Titan Books editor Steve Saffel to develop several story ideas. I brought in ideas that included a great heist story, exploring the expansion of Seegson (one of Weyland-Yutani’s few rivals), and expounding on xenomorph evolution. The idea he liked the best was the one that became Aliens: Phalanx.
My initial tagline for the book was Aliens meets 300, and involves a couple of key “what-ifs”: What if a culture without guns and technology went headlong against xenos? What if the people of that archaic developed a new weapon that let them fight back against the galaxy’s most-efficient killer?
So what inspired this idea and how did the plot change as you wrote it?
As a fan of dark fantasy stories with big set-piece battles, I wanted to develop a plot that would involve many xenomorphs, not just one or two or three. How would a human culture fare against a horde of these beasts? And, what if I took away the standard goal of most Alien-franchise stories, which is, “stay alive long enough to get in a ship and run away.” What if there was no ship? What if there nowhere to run to? What if it’s kill or be killed on a global level?
Aliens: Phalanx is not your first novel. Are there any writers or specific stories that had a big influence on this story but not on anything else you’ve written?
The main influence on this book that has not impacted my other work is Myke Cole’s nonfiction work Legion Vs. Phalanx, which looks at the key historic battles between two military styles. Those battles changed the course of history. Without Cole’s book, and his patience in answering endless questions I asked about weapons and tactics, Aliens: Phalanx would not have happened.
What about non-literary influences, such as movies, TV shows, or video games? Did any of those have a big impact on Aliens: Phalanx? Aside from the Alien movies, of course.
Aliens: Phalanx is the first tie-in novel you’ve written, but you previously wrote an Alien story called “Dangerous Prey” for the collection Aliens: Bug Hunt. Aside from the length, obviously, how was doing this novel different from when you wrote that short story?
“Dangerous Prey” is (I believe) the first Alien story told entirely from the xenomorph’s point of view. That made it a very different writing experience from Phalanx, which is told almost entirely from the perspective of Ahiliyah Cooper, the main character.
Like with “Dangerous Prey,” Aliens: Phalanx was overseen by the good people at Fox who control the Alien franchise. How do you think working in someone else’s fictional universe will influence your own stories?
I learned a great deal about the process of working with Fox when I wrote “Dangerous Prey.” Honestly, I spent more time going back and forth with them for that short story than I did for the entire Phalanx novel. I had to learn how Fox manages the property and find some of their tolerances. Once I did, working with them on Phalanx was a total breeze. Steve Saffel, the editor, also knows the parameters quite well and is a good manager of the process.
Speaking of the Alien overlords, what was their biggest contribution to Aliens: Phalanx?
They had very little feedback, due, I think, to the amount of advance work Steve and I put into the outline. We knew what we could and could not do.
The other thing that made it easy for the Fox team was that while Phalanx is canonical, the story set-up removes it from interaction with the broader Alien universe. There are no Colonial Marines. There is no Weyland-Yutani. Phalanx is an isolated story.
So, do you think Aliens: Phalanx could work as a movie?
I’ll toot my own horn here to say it not only would work as a movie, it’s a movie Fox should absolutely make. With all the controversy over (and fan disappointment with) the recent films, Aliens: Phalanx is a straight-up smasher that doesn’t contradict anything in any of the films. It presents the xenomorphs on a scale as-yet unseen in the Alien universe. It is less “Wow We Are Asking The Big Questions!” and more back to the franchise’s roots of a great action story with great characters. The plot is also linear, and the characters behave (I hope) largely like real people would behave in a similar situation. I think it’s less pretentious and far more accessible than some of the recent entries in the franchise.
Finally, if someone enjoys Aliens: Phalanx, which of your original novels would you suggest they read next and why that one?
Earthcore, no question. Go get it. James Cameron’s Aliens is the single biggest influence on my work. His technique of overlapping tension arcs is something that has stuck with my writing my entire career. You can see that style quite clearly in Earthcore.

Now that the old jail building has been removed, Fourth and Williams Sts. are getting a facelift.
Crews were already demolishing the street and cutting out curbs along Williams St. Tuesday. County crews could begin laying the base for the street by the end of the week, Darin Neufeld of EBH and Associates said.
The project will work in two phases to allow traffic to flow as normally as possible throughout the area.
“The courthouse is a busy place,” administrator Roger Holter said. “We want people to have the greatest access to it as possible while these repairs take place.”
J-turns will be allowed on Williams St. so parking can still be accessed.
The process to tear out curbs will take a few days because curbs are being cut out to construct ramps that meet federal guidelines.
Construction on Fourth St. will be broken into two parts to allow at least one jail entrance to remain open throughout the project, Neufeld said.
Once the curbs are removed on Fourth St. from Main St. to just south of the jail’s first entrance, city crews will remove the bricks and concrete from Williams Street. Pride is saving the bricks for a future project, for crosswalks around the area including from the jail to the courthouse.
The process will be repeated after the first portion of Fourth St. undergoes a seven-day cure for the remaining portion of the Fourth St. project.
County workers will replace the street base. Hett Construction will pour a concrete road, new curbs, and ramps once a base is complete.
Holter estimates the construction for each phase to take place over two weeks, weather permitting.
Neufeld said all major problems with business affected by the project have been resolved except what to do about the Post Office outside drop box.
A plan to close the box while construction on the first part of Fourth St. was taking place was discussed but considered the last option, Neufeld said.
“I’m working with the office to see what we can do to create a turn around on the property since the back exit will be closed by construction,” he said. “We haven’t figured anything out yet.”
Other parts of citywide street project also could begin this week.
“They haven’t alerted us to an exact start time yet, but they could show up at anytime,” Neufeld said.
Vogts-Parga Construction of Newton will begin work on select intersections, beginning with the intersection of Denver and Roosevelt Sts., then after Freeborn and Sherman Sts. Intersections around schools will be pushed until the end of the project so as to not interfere with school traffic. The number of intersections completed will be decided by the weather.
Because the project affects so many, a public meeting with project heads for input and to answer residents’ questions will be at 5 p.m. on Feb. 5 at the community center. Notifications also will be sent to all affected property owners before construction on their area starts.
“The key is to keep everyone updated to show what we’re doing and why,” Neufeld said.
Holter plans on updating the public by posting updates via the city website, social media, and the cities text alert system.
“The intersections aren’t as big a deal because there are other ways out,” Neufeld said. “The long streets are a whole different deal.”
Work on resurfacing large portions of streets will begin at the end of March to avoid any winter weather delays.

A blog series helping Christians interpret the Old Testament.
FTC.co asks Sam Bierig, Dean and Assistant Professor of Christian Studies at Spurgeon College, “What is a common mistake Christians make when reading the book of Proverbs?”
On this episode of the FTC Podcast, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz discuss the surprisingly tricky question of the pastor's personal study of the Bible.
FTC.co asks Dr. Andreas Köstenberger, Director of the Center for Biblical Studies at Midwestern Seminary, "Why have you given so many years and pages to the Gospel of John?"
The Author of the Bible intended to write this Book in order to be known and loved.
FTC.co asks Andrew King, Assistant Dean and Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at Spurgeon College, "How can the prophet Amos shape our view of God and the world?"
One of the most well-known truths in Matthew is that he describes it as the “kingdom of heaven” rather than kingdom of God.
How do we “do application” in a way that is faithful to the Scriptures and representative of the biblical portrait of obedience?
Have you ever wondered at the fact that you wake up believing in Christ?
In these three ways, Irenaeus helps us understand how the Bible is one book about one Person written by one Author.
