The 1st Key to a Successful Dating Life
So much dating advice is focused on finding “the one;” on who you should date. Or shouldn’t. Indeed, the all-time most watched episode of our YouTube program, LoveEd with Julie & MJ, is Will God Tell You Who to Date?
While making wise decisions in this regard is essential to relational success, believe it or don’t, the secret to a healthy dating life has more to do with you than who you date!
That’s due to the simple fact that healthy, mature people tend to attract (and find themselves attracted to) other healthy mature people. While wounded, needy people tend to attract (and find themselves attracted to) other wounded, needy people.
This is why the first key to a successful dating life is discovering your junk. I’m talking about those past hurts and secret sins which will sabotage your relationship life no matter who you date.
Even if it were Jesus.
Assuming He were available to date.
Which He isn’t.
However, if you’re looking for a Savior, Jesus would like to be first in line, but…
The reality is most of us would rather date Jesus – or worse – “friendzone” Him, while we look to some gorgeous member of the opposite sex to be our Savior.
We don’t think of it that way. No one says, “I’m dating Jesus, but hoping a romantic relationship will one day heal all my hurt, maybe some day after I get married.” (OK, so some people claim to be dating Jesus, but ain’t nobody say the latter part.)
Regardless, that’s the ultimate outcome of a dating life where you remain unconscious of all the junk you have stacked up in the closet, basement, attic, and garage of your heart.
You will have to deal with all of that junk at some point in life. You may think you don’t, because you’ve made it this far and managed alright.
That was my Mom’s story. She was sexually abused as a little girl, but basically buried that past hurt and moved on. And she made it all the way through dating, engagement and right into marriage just fine, thank you very much.
But somewhere around 30 years of married life, unrelated events triggered my mom’s buried pain and insecurity. And, in spite of years of counseling, in the end my mom chose to take her own life.
Of course, many don’t react quite so dramatically to pent-up hurt. Many settle for clinical depression. Or an addiction. Or an affair. Or a divorce. Or any combination of the these reactions.
Regardless, is any of that what you’re hoping for 30 years into marriage?
No it isn’t.
But perhaps you’re thinking, “Look dude, I don’t have any issues like that. I’m good.”
That’s precisely what I thought before I ever started dating. And what I thought after I started dating my wife. And after I married her. “I’m good!”
What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You
It was only after marriage that I could sense I might have a few rough edges. And it wasn’t until we had our first child that I began to suspect I actually had what you might call issues. And it wasn’t until we were a year into foster care trying to adopt our youngest two boys that I had to face the facts: I had serious problems. It was nothing like sexual abuse, but never the less I had junk I hadn’t dealt with that was handicapping my emotional and relational health. Especially with my wife.
But what if you’re like me, and you don’t have obvious junk like my mom?
It will hopefully mean your past pain won’t plague your dating life as badly. Is that good enough for you: a dating life that’s only mildly affected by the hurt you harbor in your heart? No it’s not.
You want a dating life that’s full, fun and free of needless drama.
So here are some questions to consider that could help you discover your junk:
- Are you easily angered?
- Are you prone to overreact?
- Do you struggle with fear or anxiety?
- Do you struggle with discouraging thoughts?
- Do you put yourself down a lot, either out loud or in your mind?
- Do you find it difficult to freely express your feelings or opinions?
- Do you find it difficult to even identify and understand your feelings?
- Do you struggle with habits you can’t seem to break?
- Do you find it impossible to resist sexual temptation?
- Are you clingy in relationships?
- Are you distant in relationships?
- Do you trust people too easily?
- Do you find it difficult to trust people?
- Do you find yourself jumping from relationship to relationship (romantic or otherwise)?
- Do you find yourself burning bridges with family, friends or at school or work?
- Do you seem to attract the wrong kind of friends or dating partners?
Don’t just ask yourself those questions. Open up to someone else who knows and loves you well, and ask what they see in you.
And keep in mind: you’re not trying to get an “A” here, you’re trying to discover your junk.
We all have some. Including you.
So let the above questions (and whatever other questions, memories, or conversations they create) empower you to discover your junk before you take one more step in the direction of dating.
And once you’ve begun to do that you can advance to the 2nd key to a successful dating life: declaring your junk. We’ll talk about those next week. In the meantime, I urge you to check out our Hot Topic page dedicated to the topic of healthy relationships.
Final clarification: the goal isn’t to “arrive” at relational wholeness before you start dating. The goal is to set your life on a path to relational wholeness before you do. You shouldn’t fixate on “getting there” (“Are we there yet?”), but on growing. And the goal is not perfection, but maturity.
Because a successful dating life awaits!
DNA: It’s What’s For Dating
It’s NOT for couples, but for any wise individual who thinks they might want to get married sometime before they die. And would like to learn how to better build healthy relationships in the meantime.
Check out all three study guides in our store. You can walk through them on your own, but it’s more fun with friends (that and it kinda makes sense to grow in relational success in actual relationships with others), so consider putting together an FMU LoveEd small group study.
Even better? And ask a rock star married couple you respect to lead it!

Some of the top rugby teams in the province are set to invade Abbotsford on Saturday.
The 2017 BC Rugby Club Finals occur at Exhibition Park in Abbotsford. It’s the first time ever that all the finals games will be played in one location. Games run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on three different fields.
On the line is the opportunity for teams to be named 2017 BC Rugby Club Champions in one of nine men’s and women’s divisions, from Third Division to Premier League.
There are 18 teams competing in this year’s Club Finals, coming from as far as Vancouver Island and Seattle.
“Having the BC Rugby Club provincial finals in Abbotsford is an amazing opportunity to show the province what a great venue we have for hosting this event,” stated Tyler Adams, president of the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club. “Abbotsford RFC has a history of excellence in hosting events and we hope that this is an ongoing partnership with BC Rugby to host the finals in one location.”
Teams Competing in Club Finals
• Men’s Premier League Final – Burnaby Lake RC vs UBC

In the Men’s Premier League Final, Burnaby Lake RC will face UBC. With these same teams competing in last year’s Men’s Premier League Final, these two teams will face each other once again as UBC hopes to hold onto their past two consecutive wins.
In addition to the nine games being played at Club Finals, there will also be a family zone with an inflatable rugby field and other fun activities for young children to enjoy.
Spectators can also look forward to food trucks, a belairdirect booth with free giveaways, photos with mascots, a beer garden and more.

Part 1 and Part 2 of the movie (also known as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal Season IV: Eternal the Movie) will debut on Netflix on June 3.
Created by Naoko Takeuchi and first serialized in Kodansha’s manga magazine Nakayosi in 1991, the stories of Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians fighting for love and justice have long captivated audiences. The anime also spawned a TV series in the 1990s that aired in more than 40 countries.
“Like so many others around the world, I trace my love for anime back to watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon when I was a toddler — pictures of me in Usagi’s Bun Head have become a family treasure,” said Ema Hirayama, Netflix’s manager of content acquisition. “It’s no surprise that these characters and tales about love and justice still touch the hearts of so many fans around the world. It’s a dream come true for all of us at Netflix to have Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal the Movie join our expansive anime slate and to share this incredible story with fans around the world.”
The film is based on the “Dreams arc” of the original manga series. The official description: “The story is about the Sailor Guardians’ growth, both as teenage girls and as Sailor Guardians, as well as the faint first love of Chibi-Usa and Helios.” Both parts were released in Japan earlier this year after being delayed by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Neurological is defined as having to do with the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurological disorders can affect your eyes and your vision in many ways. Some of these disorders include:
- Blepharospasm: An involuntary and uncontrolled blinking of your eyelids that is believed to originate in the basal ganglia, the portion of the lower brain responsible for coordinated movements
- Double Vision: Can be caused by a disruption of the blood flow to the cranial nerves at the base of your brain. These nerves send signals to the six muscles that control the movement of your eyes
- Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: A sudden loss of vision caused by a disruption of blood flow from the ciliary arteries to the optic nerve, resulting in damage to all or part of the optic nerve. A healthy optic nerve is essential to transmit images from the retina to your brain
- Stroke ("Brain Attack") / Visual Field Defect: A disruption to the blood flow to the brain which damages brain cells that can cause permanent or temporary impairment of your field of vision
- Temporal Arteritis: A disruption of blood flow to the head and eyes, that can also result in sudden vision loss

Everyone in Belgium knows it, the scratch game from the National Lottery. Scratch the road and see if the winning number corresponds to the figure that stands among the winning amount. For many people a weekly habit to buy this, others do only once every few months a try. But how many winners are there anyway? And what do we do with it if we win? Here we read more about it ??
Even before the popular scratch game people were particularly interested in Subito, a game that had a turnover of nearly 23 million. And there was room for something new. In 1998 we came out with them 'Win for life'. A new opportunity to win that brought more success and so did sales of 56 million euros. And with a formula where you monthly to enjoy.
?? A Win for life ?? you pay 1 or 3 euro. With a lock of 1 euro you can earn up to 500 euros per month. A modest amount yet can bring a bit more wealth in your life. The Lotjes of 3 Euros can be as known up to 2000 euro per month. In contrast to the 1,000 euros that we are a few years back saw in our paper merchant for 2.50 euros. The National Lottery has this change the prize even more attractive, but what few people know is that the chances of winning also become slightly smaller. One makes the other well you can hear them thinking ?? but with less lucky winners.
A nice sum for the rest of your life is to win everyone has a dream, but we Moete realize this yet. What are the odds of winning? According to the website have 18 people won the 2000 euro per month. We count it all winners at even the smaller amounts, we have 22.786 million euros deserve. At first glance, not a bad figure, but what are the chances that you will be taking? Well, we must conclude that when creating and distributing a million notes there is one winner of 2000 euros per month. And for the one-time winners: 15 euro banknotes in 2500, 150 bills of 250 euros in 1500 from 25 euro bills, and thus to 15000th notes of 9 172 000 euro and the last notes of 3 euros. That means that there are more than 188 000 odds at 1 million bills. And this with the 200 000 odds in 2002 with the old Win for Life scratch cards.
Many people fantasize or even if they would win this prize every month. A survey also shows that these winners are generally very sober remain. Thus, no more than half simply continue practicing his daily job. And few really stop working. They view it as an extra that will give more luxury. They will do very large purchases less than a regular Lotto yet be sure of a richer future. Something that will remain for many still a dream for some and a future. But as they say, without playing you can not win. And is truth to that.

VIS carbon fiber trunk install
VIS part 94FDMUS2DOE-020C for 94-98 Ford Mustang
I would not recommend this trunk to anyone who regularly uses the car. The trunk has major design and manufacturing issues (lolz China).
-Very lightweight compared to stock
-Typical "fake" Taiwan / China carbon fiber. VIS / Seibon fiberglass parts with a layer of carbon wrapped on top
-Some of the fiber is thin enough to see daylight through
-Exterior fitment was good
-Center brake light is not actually "mounted", it just bolts onto a flap of fiberglass and doesn't even make a seal with the trunk
-The keyhole mount in the trunk is too far back once the garnish is installed, forcing you to use the glovebox to open the trunk. You will have to cut a longer key in order to open it from the outside
-The springs that screw into the corners of the the trunk don't fit on the VIS trunk
-Trunk struts fit without issues
-Stock trunk latch uses 3 bolts to mount, VIS trunk only has 2 holes. Trying to install the 3rd one would require drilling through the whole thing (yes, through the actual trunk).

I certainly wouldn’t want him as a father figure, and that’s not really the point of him as a character.
— Tim Burton, “Making the Mix”
“The Oompa-Loompas were obviously important to the story and I just felt that part of the ‘real’ quality is important. I liked the idea that they all looked the same.” Tim Burton’s peculiar indirection seems perfect for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Oompa-Loopmas a re surely “important” and in his version, they do all look the same. Anything after that is yours to decipher.
The Two-Disc Deluxe Edition DVD (it also comes in a one-disc version, full or widescreen) includes an oddball mix of extras on the second disc (the first features only the movie and a lengthy trailer), including the seven-minute “Becoming Oompa-Loompa,” which offers a brief summary of Deep Roy’s many efforts to get in shape, learning to mountain climb (for one brief pose on a fake mountainside, meaning, the interviewees here, so enthusiastic, are also exaggerating), as well as how to fall on boxes like stuntmen and how to play five instruments in a rock band. The featurette notes as well that digital magic turned the game Deep Roy into hundreds of factory workers (he also provides instruction for the interactive feature, “Oompa-Loompa Dance”‘ “I knew I could dance,” says Deep Roy in the doc, “I never knew that I could do the steps”).
All this info is fine, if not precisely brilliant. And it suits Burton’s movie, which is mostly perky, slightly edgy, and dully episodic. After spending some minutes setting up darling Charlie (Freddie Highmore) and his loving, poverty-stricken family, it soon diverts to Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) inside his factory. At this point, the film becomes a series of set pieces, each punishing the bad or greedy kids who compete with Charlie for a big prize.
While hardly a precise translation of Roald Dahl’s 1964 children’s novel, this Charlie is all about buddies Burton and Depp, sinewy and strange, a perverse comedy that includes some few kids’ elements, none of them sugary. If Charlie Bucket embodies the film’s moral themes, specifically love of family and endurance in the face of hardship. Like all members of his family, including his cabbage-chopping mom (Helena Bonham Carter) and toothpaste-top-screwing father (Noah Taylor), Charlie is very poor, very pasty, and very agreeable. He’s only sort of, as Burton insists in the DVD doc, “ordinary.” He appreciates all his family’s quirks, including his Grandpa George’s (David Morris) sardonic asides and his Grandpa Joe’s (David Kelly) quietly earnest encouragements.
The Buckets live in a teeny, tilting shack located in the shadow of a gigantic candy factory, owned by the famously reclusive, fabulously wealthy, fantastically unusual chocolatier Willy Wonka. The plot kicks in, as you well know, when Willy Wonka announces a contest: five golden tickets, hidden in chocolate bars, will grant five children access to the factory for one day’s tour. Each winner can bring a guardian, and at the end of the day, a special prize will be awarded to one. After several purchases (specifically, two more than his usual yearly allotment, which is one, for his birthday), Charlie finds a ticket, and so, on the appointed day, he and four other children plus parents — Charlie brings his Grandpa Joe — arrive at the gate, pert and expectant.
Following a creepy Disney Small World-style performance that ends in the dolls melting down, the group of children and guardians enters the factory, led by their tour guide, Willy Wonka himself. He’s thrilled by the melting doll faces. Clapping like a little kid by way of introducing himself. Decked out in velvet dress coat, top hat, rubber gloves, and pageboy haircut, not to mention whiter-than-white face makeup, he fidgets along, uneasy around the children and deft in his dealings with them. He greets them by way of a line he’s heard (“Good morning starshine, the earth says hello!”), and when that falls flat, he ushers them inside, careful not to touch them if he can help it.
In the factory, they are treated to a magical scene — a world unfolding before them that stretches far beyond physical and temporal limits. “Sure is toasty in here,” observes a guest, and yes, Willy Wonka explains, the heat is intended to accommodate the workers. Specifically, these are the Oompa Loompas make the candy and mete out judgments against misbehaving children. Each child-parent set reveals its particular dysfunction, corresponding to symptomatic “sins”: gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz) and his mother (Franziska Troegner), snooty, hypercompetitive Violet (Annasophia Robb) and her mother (Missi Pyle), spoiled Veruca Salt (Julia Winter) and her father (James Fox), and conceited, Doom-trained aggressor Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry) and his dad (Adam Godley) all make Charlie and Grandpa Joe look emotionally healthy and morally sound by comparison. Portrayed in broad, cartoonish strokes, the kids’ cruelties serve as comedy, though they’re not always funny. (The digitized squirrel assault on Veruca is broken down in the DVD extra, “Attack of the Squirrels.”)
The non-Charlie children are so loathsome that their various “punishments” seem deserved. These are staged as song-and-dance numbers by the Oompa Loompas, modeled after scenes that some parents will recall from other venues, for instance, Esther Williams musicals, the Who’s guitar-smashing rock shows, Hair, Psycho, 2001, The Fly, and even Burton and Depp’s Edward Scisssorhands, in Willy’s flashbacks to his troubled relationship with his dentist father (Christopher Lee).
At issue between Willy and his father is precisely candy — as indulgence, metaphor, vice, and sensual delight. Charlie shares Willy Wonka’s love of candy, for its own sake, for bestowing sweetness and satisfaction on its consumers. When an exasperated Mike Teavee complains that nothing in tour has a point, Charlie patiently explains, “Candy doesn’t have to have a point. That’s why it’s candy.” At the same time, this being a Tim Burton film, the celebration of childish pleasures is not simply joyous, but tweaked. Yes, candy is grand, but it’s also symptomatic of a culture premised on consumption.
The kids and their parents are optimum consumers, always looking for the next product, greedy to get their hands and mouths on it. Willy Wonka has made his fortune on this pattern. Even his beloved Oompa Loompas are functions of this pattern, essentially “purchased” by Willy, a jungle-dwelling tribe sick of eating green caterpillars and glad to work on the chocolate river in exchange for endless supply of coca beans. Consumers and consumed (as entertainment for Willy Wonka, at least), the Oompa Loompas remain an unreconstructed retro fantasy — happy darkies, “rescued” by the whitest man on the planet.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘s incongruities are often fun, in particular Depp’s frisky line readings (check his explanation: “Everything in this room is eatable; even I’m eatable, but that, my children, is called cannibalism, and frowned on in most societies”), and weird affect. But the narrative rhythms are uneven, and Charlie remains wifty and undeveloped, more an emblem of goodness than a full-on character. The movie skips about to cover multiple storylines, including Willy’s memories and the four bad children’s separate exploits, all eventually pulled together by Charlie’s good-boy summary of what matters most, his cozy family.

Bangladesh has sought a two-year duty-free access for its readymade garment products to the US market as the coronavirus pandemic put the major export-earning sector in trouble amid cancellations of global orders.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen made the request to the US government considering the current situation when he had a telephone conversation with US Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger on Tuesday evening.
Dr Momen also sought US support so that no export order from Bangladesh is cancelled.
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) claimed that over US$ 3 billion orders have been cancelled over the last couple of months.
International brands and buyers’ business practices have been “questioned” amid cancellation of orders putting vast RMG workers in immense trouble though owners invested a lot in post-Rana Plaza incident bringing massive reforms.
Bangladesh, the top garment exporter in the world after China, is heavily dependent on European and American orders.
Bangladesh government and industry leaders started raising the issue of cancellation of orders by the international brands and buyers at various levels amid coronavirus crisis.
The Adviser of US President Donald Trump highly appreciated Bangladesh’s role in dealing with the current situation, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He assured Bangladesh of continuing US support to deal with the challenges of COVID-19.
Trump’s Adviser also appreciated Bangladesh for accepting Rohingyas who floated at deep sea for weeks.
The Foreign Minister reminded that other countries in the region should also share the burden saying it is not the sole responsibility of Bangladesh to give them shelter.
He also urged other countries to take back over 1.1 million Rohingyas sharing responsibilities who have given shelter by Bangladesh.
The Foreign Minister sought strong role from the countries including the US in expediting the Rohingya repatriation initiative.
Trump’s Adviser thanked Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on behalf of the US President for her letter sent to Trump on the occasion of birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

Welcome to, what may be, the best monitor roundup on the net for RTX 3090 Gaming PC Builds.
It’s true that you can find all sorts of monitors for sale at any given time, but the best ones are often out of reach for most people.
Why? Well, to put it simply, they cost more than other monitors. But here’s the thing: this article will help you figure out which monitor is worth investing in and which one isn’t.
So if you’re looking to build an RTX 3090 PC Build or just want to know what type of monitor would be best suited for your needs, look no further because we have 8 great options right here!
Well, we hope you enjoy it!
1. Acer Predator XB1
The Acer Predator is a G-Sync monitor and has an aggressive design with red accents. There is also a black version, but the white one looks so much better in my opinion. This monitor model features a 1800R curved VA panel with a 144hz refresh rate and 4ms response time. Acer does not list the monitor’s viewing angle but it is advertised as having 178 degrees of horizontal and vertical viewable angles. The Acer Predator XB321HK (32 inches) has a 4K resolution, IPS display and supports 100% RGB colour space which is great. It also has a built-in USB hub and a power brick which you might find inconvenient if your outlet is far from where you sit, but it’s a fair trade-off for the awesome monitor that this is.
The Acer Predator XB1 supports NVIDIA G-Sync, a technology that eliminates screen tearing by syncing the monitor’s refresh rate with your GPU’s frame rate. It also has an aggressive 4ms response time and a very high 144hz refresh rate. As far as connectivity is concerned it comes with 1 HDMI port and 2 DisplayPort Ports which is enough for the 32 inches model.
The Acer Predator XB1 comes with a height-adjustable stand, so you can set it to your ideal viewing angle which is great. Another great perk is that it has built-in speakers although most people prefer using their own sound system.
For input lag performance, this monitor does very well and it does not suffer from common input lag issues such as motion blur, so you will enjoy this monitor for fast-paced games. The Acer Predator XB1 is a lot more expensive than other entry-level 4K monitors but it’s well worth the investment if you can afford it.
- Great for VR and Motion Blur
- Good Response Time and High Refresh Rate
- Built-in Speakers
- Fully Adjustable Stand Cons Higher Input Lag than 1080p Monitors
- No USB Ports except for the Power Brick
2. ASUS VG248QE
The ASUS VG248QE is a great monitor with an excellent response time but there are two limitations that you should know about: it has a 1080p resolution and it is not G-Sync compatible. But even so, this monitor still performs well and the response time is great which means that you will find no tearing or ghosting issues during gameplay.
The ASUS VG248QE has a 144hz refresh rate and 1ms pixel response time which means that there will be no tearing or ghosting issues during gameplay. One of the best things about this monitor is that it’s compatible with both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs which is great news for people who are looking to use this monitor on their RTX 3090 builds.
The ASUS VG248QE comes with DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI 1.4 ports but no built-in speakers so you will have to invest in a good sound system if you want great sound quality. The ergonomics are also not as great as some other monitors but they are still passable, plus the screen has a height adjustment option if that’s something that matters to you.
As far as input lag performance goes, this monitor performs very well despite having only a 1ms pixel response time. There are no motion blur or input lag issues when using it for fast-paced games which is great.
In conclusion, if you want a 24-inch 1080p monitor with excellent response time and a high refresh rate then this would be a great option in terms of value per dollar spent. However, it does suffer from common drawbacks such as a not so good viewing angle and lack of advanced ergonomics so keep that in mind before making your decision.
- Great Response Time
- Compatible with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs Cons Lacks Advanced Ergonomics
- Lower Resolution than 4K Monitors
3. ASUS PG278QR
This model comes with G-Sync support but it also has an amazing 165hz refresh rate which means that you will not have to worry about tearing or delayed ghosting issues during gameplay.
The ASUS PG278QR features a 27 inch TN panel with a 2560 x 1440 resolution which means that there is no compromise when it comes to the picture quality. In fact, the images on this monitor look amazing and crisp especially if you consider its affordable price tag. Some people might complain about having a lower resolution than 4K but even so, this monitor still looks great and the response time is pretty good too.
The ASUS PG278QR comes with DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4 input ports and built-in speakers although you can use your own sound system for superior sound quality. On top of everything else, this monitor has an ergonomic design which is rare for 27-inch monitors. This monitor also has some useful technologies such as NVIDIA’s G-Sync along with the ASUS Eye Care technology which reduces blue light emissions to reduce eye strain if you plan on using it at night time or during long gaming sessions.
One of the best things about this monitor is that it comes with NVIDIA’s G-Sync support, although this feature does come at a cost since you will have to purchase an NVIDIA GPU for it to work properly. One important thing that gamers should know about this monitor is that it has lower input lag than the ASUS VG248QE even though both of these models are almost identical in terms of specifications so keep that in mind before making you.
In conclusion, If you are looking for a 27-inch monitor with 1440p resolution, G-Sync support and a high refresh rate then the ASUS PG278QR would be an excellent choice. However, keep in mind that it has a higher input lag than the ASUS VG248QE so if you are not bothered by that fact then this model would be a great choice.

- High Resolution
- Good Response Time
- Higher Input Lag than ASUS VG248QE

Although this model is not as popular as other models on this list, it’s still an excellent choice considering how affordable it is for its specifications. One thing that makes this model stand out amongst its competitors is the fact that it has an anti-glare matte screen that delivers superior picture quality which is important when you want to play games without getting distracted by annoying reflections.
The LG Ultragear comes with a QHD resolution which is a bit lower than models that have 4K, but it still looks great and you will hardly notice any difference in terms of quality. Keep in mind that this model comes with an IPS panel which delivers worse contrast ratios compared to TN panels so if you are going for enhanced black levels then IPS might not be the best option.
Including two built-in speakers, this monitor also has some advanced connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.2a along with HDMI 1.4 input ports so keep in mind that you will need a powerful GPU if you plan on pushing 144fps on it since most GPUs can only handle 60fps in 1080p without a significant drop in picture quality.
One of the most interesting features of this monitor is the presence of Game Mode technology which delivers sharper contrast and faster response times so you can get the best multiplayer gaming experience without any motion blur or ghosting issues. Although it has lower contrast ratios than VA panels, this model comes with an anti-glare matte screen that makes it suitable for both multiplayer gaming and watching movies during daytime hours.

Douglas Allred Co., a San Diego developer and full service real estate firm, purchased two office buildings in Phoenix for $10.4 million, the Phoenix Business Journal reported.
The two offices built in 1980 and located at Seventh Street and Missouri Avenue, come in just below 83,900 square feet.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Capital Markets Group negotiated the sale between Douglas Allred and Presson Advisory LLC (as determined from county documents).
Douglas Allred has approximately 20 commercial projects in or around San Diego, including University Square, Miramar Industrial Park and Mission Valley Limited. This full-service real estate firm deals with commercial, industrial, retail and residential sectors in California, Arizona, Florida and Texas. According to the company’s website portfolio, its largest presence is in Arizona and San Diego.


Carson has pushed back on the biographical charges with more verve that he has exhibited at any of the debates. That is because the biographical charges don’t simply threaten the Carson campaign, they threaten Carson the corporation -- the former I have always contended was simply a vehicle for the latter. Has no one else wondered why Carson’s chief media surrogate isn’t his campaign manager or communications director, but his business manager, Armstrong Williams?Yes, maybe Carson's just protecting the grift. But I think that helps the presidential campaign immensely, because it resonates with conservative voters, even though those voters aren't running for president themselves or monetizing their own life stories.
Conservatives always feel personally disrespected. They're incessantly told by the right-wing media that coastal liberal sophisticates hate not just their politics but their guns, their religion, their clothes, their taste in music, their unironic patriotism. So if Ben Carson defends his biographical narrative more passionately than he defends his positions on issues, it feels to conservative voters as if he's defending them. Conservatism these days is less about issues (see: Donald Trump's deviations from the party line) than it is about being personally disrespected by the liberal fascists. To the conservative electorate, Carson seems to be fighting back against precisely that sort of disrespect.
So Carson may as well make this all about himself. The voters he's trying to reach think it's all about themselves, too.

Objectives: This study will examine the association of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) expression and condylar hyperplasia (CH). CH is defined as excessive growth of one mandibular condyle, leading to facial asymmetry, cross-bite, and open bite. The etiology of CH is unknown, but has been associated with localized trauma and infection. RUNX2 is a protein associated with osteoblastic differentiation and has been previously proposed as an associated factor in CH. This study will directly examine the association between RUNX2 expression and CH.
Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of 17 human condyle samples from healthy and affected patients will be performed. 3-3’ Diaminobenzidine (DAB) immunohistochemistry will be used to statistically compare CH condyles with their normal counterparts.
Results: Immunohistochemical staining has shown a difference in the expression of RUNX2 between the control group and the CH group. The experimental group has demonstrated more intense staining with the DAB chromogen than the control group.
Conclusions: We conclude that RUNX2 expression may be correlated with the development of CH. This study may further clarify the etiology and pathogenesis of CH, leading to improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for those affected.

Remember This Is Our Arctic? Itâ€™s the youth-made photography exhibit featuring images of climate change in Old Crow and Inuvik that we put together in the fall of 2013, thanks to the photographic talents of Arctic youth. To date, the exhibit has displayed in Whitehorse, Inuvik, and, most recently, at the ArtStarts In Schools gallery in downtown Vancouver.
Last week, the This Is Our Arctic hit the road once again. After a summer-long stint at the ArtStarts in Schools gallery, which exhibits work by children and youth artists, the exhibit headed across the greater Vancouver area to display in Coquitlam, BC for the month of October.
Thanks to the Coquitlam Public Library system, This Is Our Arctic is now on display at two different libraries in Coquitlam. The Poirer Branch is housing the Old Crow portion of the exhibit, and the City Centre branch is housing the photographs from Inuvik. To find out the locations and hours of both branches, click here.
Amelia Gabbott is the Library Technician for Information Services at the Coquitlam Library system who was in charge of setting up the exhibits.

Itâ€™s thanks to the help of photographer, BYTE facilitator, and now nursing student Jesse Whitehead that the photographs made it to Coquitlam. Jesse made the brave trek across Vancouver at rush hour to deliver the photographs safely from ArtStarts in Schools to the Coquitlam Libraries.
This Is Our Arctic will be on display in Coquitlam until the end of October. You donâ€™t need a Coquitlam Library card to enjoy the display, so if you happen to be in the area this month, or know anyone who is, donâ€™t hesitate to stop by!

toughie, christa. a past show would have been ‘ab fab’. present show would be ‘schitt’s creek’. both those shows are over the top, made me laugh out loud, and the comedic timing was something i’d love to experience.
then again, there’s ‘big bang theory’ – another laugh out loud and i would’ve loved to have interacted with stephan hawking.


………Election 2024 is creeping up on us and some interesting developments have occurred. Speculation had been that Attorney Allyson Cowden would run for Hancock County Prosecutor, but it looks now that she will run for Brooke County Prosecutor.. Is that possible if she lives in Hancock County? Yes. I’ve always found it strange that a prosecuting attorney or even assistant prosecutor doesn’t need to be a resident of the County in which he/she is running. Current Brooke County Prosecutor Joe Barki is a Wheeling resident. Cowden, a Hancock County resident, is currently an assistant prosecutor in Brooke. Barki is running for the Circuit Court Judicial seat currently held by veteran Judge Ron Wilson. Dem. Executive Committee Chair Kathy Link said the Committee had talked to Attorney Alex Risovich about the possibility of a run for the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office, but she was unsure if he was interested in doing so.
…….While Cowden hasn’t announced yet, she posted a Facebook photo of herself in front of the Brooke County Judicial Annex with a caption “stay tuned.” I questioned the fact that she took the quasi-campaign photo in front of the Brooke County Judicial building. It is not a violation, however, since she is not the seated prosecutor. If she were, it would be a violation of the Ethic’s Act cause it would imply an endorsement. I was there in the 1989 session when this strange animal we called Ethics Act was passed. It changed a lot of practices in a lot of campaigns and created a lot of confusion. Cash used to be king. Election day cars were paid for in cash ($75 was the going rate before the practice ended). Cash became a forbidden contribution because it couldn’t be tracked.
……It took a while for that to sink in. I remember being with Governor Gaston Caperton at a fundraiser when someone handed me a $50 bill and said it was a contribution to the Governor’s campaign. As we took our seats on the stage, I handed Gaston the $50 and said “that man wants to make a contribution.” Gaston face went white as he explained to me. “We don’t take cash……ever….never. Give it back.” Well since the man had left, and the $50 was obviously illegal contraband, I simply put it on a table and left it in the fundraiser hall. I learned very quickly to be cautious after that experience..
….The Democratic Executive Committee is seeking Democratic candidates to run for House of Delegates, Senate and Grant District County Commission (remember current commissioner Jeff Davis has changed his registration to Republican.) I received a letter from Chairman Kathy Link asking me if I would consider running for any of the offices. She said similar letters were sent to former Del. Randy Swartzmiller and former Commissioner Mike Swartzmiller.
……I told Kathy it was very good of them to think of me, but I would not be a candidate. My time as a legislator was a great experience and I felt good about what I was able to accomplish, but I would not care to try it again. The political climate has changed; I have changed and thoroughly enjoy what I am fortunate enough to be doing. It will take energy, enthusiasm and serious financial support along with a Democratic candidate that is seriously committed to a campaign to go door-to-door if the Democrats are to capture any of the Republican-held seats. Anything less and a candidate is just a sacrificial lamb
…..There will soon be a host of holiday events. Please send them to us at [email protected] and we’ll feature them in. Abbi will also enter them into our calendar until they occur. You can then access the calendar each week to check dates and times.

Rig drills for tin on Cornish farmland
A mobile drilling rig is operating on farmland in mid-Cornwall in a bid to find tin.
London-based minerals firm Treliver said it was boring several holes reaching depths of hundreds of metres at the site near St Columb Major.
The company, which has bought local mineral rights, said it was planning to drill for two months initially.
If good tin is found, and the company decides to carry on operations, it could result in opencast mining.
Project geologist Alex King said: "It is still very early days, but we know we are drilling in a tin-mineralised area.
"The first holes are to test how deep the granite is and prove how much tin is here."
Each metre of drilling costs £100 but the rewards could be high, as the price of tin has been rising for the past six years, BBC South West Business Correspondent Neil Gallacher said.
Cornwall's last working tin mine, South Crofty, closed in 1998 after the price of tin hit an all-time low.
But last year, metal at Crofty was valued at $2.4bn (£1.5bn) in a report by the Celeste Copper Corporation which hopes to start mining at the site.
However, Treliver has two hurdles to cross, even if it decides to extract tin.
Paul Wheeler, from Camborne School of Mines, said getting a mine running would not be a quick or cheap process.
He said: "Five years would be a really short period to get any projects in; we may be looking at 10 years down the road.
"It depends how much money they want to throw at it, and how easy they will find the local community in terms of acceptance and planning."
Sue Cousa, who runs the nearby Springfields Fun Park and Pony Centre, said there were "mixed feelings" about the project in the area.
She said: "Some are welcoming the idea, and some are against it.
"There are concerns on a number of grounds, such as environmental, noise and traffic."

I believe Caravaggio’s take on “The Conversion of Saint Paul” was controversial because some believe the transition was presented in a disrespectful mode. The sixteenth century was a clip of Religious Reformation and I think it would hold been less controversial if Saint Paul was presented in a more positive visible radiation ( non knocked down to the land ) . A batch of focal point seems to lie on the Equus caballus as that takes up rather a spot of the picture.
However. Saint Paul is besides highlighted as he lifts his custodies in congratulations and resignations to the Lord. Possibly such focal point is placed on the Equus caballus to stand for the power that knocked him down ( literally and figuratively talking ) . This picture is a perfect illustration of Baroque art because it contains the usage of chiaroscuro where there is a important contrast between the highlighted parts of the pictures and the dark shadows. I liked the “spotlight” mention noted in the Lecture as that merely seems to be the perfect manner to depict it. It’s about as if the creative person portrays a scene and highlights the chief character in the drama. That’s why I believe the Equus caballus must mean a message Caravaggio was seeking to portray as he is highlighted merely every bit much as Saint Paul was.
Saint Paul became a really prominenet Christian leader and harmonizing to the Testament he converted after meeting a resurrected The nazarene on his manner to Damascus. this would hold been for any Christian an highly Holy and godly minute. to hold Jesu’s visible radiation shined upon you and in this image nil Godhead is represented. to the contrary. this is represented in a really coarse manner in which Caravaggio used figures of the likes of doubtful beginning and exteme commonalty. Besides. the Equus caballus takes on most of the picture. and the whole scene is really upclose to the spectator therefore doing it really realistic and possibly unsuitable for the intended location which was the Cerasi chapel in Santa del Popolo.
This picture is a perfect illustration of the Baroque manner due to its extremely charged emotional and dramatic undertone every bit good as radical and controversial in which the usage of overdone gesture. idiosyncrasy. every bit good as luxuriant scenes. I believe that the Caravaggio’s picture. Conversion of St. Paul. illustrates person coming to their senses and seeing the truth when they realize what must be done. From a spiritual facet. when I look at this picture and see Saint Paul lying on the land with his custodies raised and eyes closed I get the feeling that he is idolizing or thanking God for demoing him the truth or possibly he had a vision of God. The bright colourss. or reflecting visible radiation. that is over Paul is besides symbolic of seeing “the truth” . The adult male standing in the background could perchance stand for immorality and the Equus caballus is stepping in forepart of him to protect Saint Paul. Besides. it shows that the horse’s pess portray him as vulnerable.
The Conversion of St. Paul caused contention is the 1600’s because it was really realistic and it was seen as an reading of the event of Paul’s transition that was really of import to the Christian community. The church was upset because Caravaggio made the Equus caballus occupy the bulk of the infinite and the buttocks was a chief focal point. They saw this as disrespectful and felt that Caravaggio saw Paul as unimportant.
Caravaggio’s work represents Baroque manner. He was considered the most of import Baroque painter in Italy. This picture is exciting. supernatural. dramatic. excessively expressive and theatrical. The usage of visible radiation. the mixture of dark and bright colourss. Paul’s facial look. and the pragmatism besides give it a churrigueresque touch. I believe this image was so controversial in 1600’s because during that clip faith was large and this image doesn’t appear to be a good representation of the narrative behind it at least non in that epoch. The people believed that Paul was depicted as a cipher lying impotently on his dorsum on the land.
The biggest part/ chief focal point in the image was the Equus caballuss behind which automatically took the focal point from Paul and was seen as a mark of discourtesy. It likely was seen as if the Caravaggio was doing visible radiation of the transition as if it was a gag although it wasn’t intended to look that manner. I don’t think they truly knew how to construe the image. The features seen in the image make it a perfect illustration of churrigueresque art. Baroque art is dramatic. excessively expressive and theatrical all of which you see in the picture. Another feature is the usage of “chiaroscuro”- the strong contrast between light and shadowing as you see most of the Equus caballus and Paul in the visible radiation and the background shadowed out. The image was done to demo pragmatism and pragmatism is besides a feature of Baroque as the image looks like a existent scene in which the soldier fell off his Equus caballus. That type of manner was used to give the viewer the ability to associate more to the narrative and the characters in which the image does at least for me being able to visualise the narrative behind it.
The Conversion of Saint Paul was contraversal during the 1600’s. When it wa shown they found the picture to picture Saint Paul as non of import and to be common. Besides it was non liked that he had the Equus caballus be the chief focal point. To me when I look at his picture I seeSaint Paul on the land with Hs weaponries up to god. with Gods visible radiation hining onhim. Besides his Equus caballus could be protecting him from the immorality in the backround. Caravaggio was seeking to demo us a more realistic facet of what Saint Paul traveling through. With Baroque the picture were more realistic. non fabulous. This picture shows the contrast of visible radiation and darkness. It is good word picture of Baroque by holding people be able to associate better to the narrative being told.
Caravaggio’s oil painted rendering of the Conversion of Saint Paul is the prototype of Baroque Art. This new artistic motion of the 1600’s was founded by Caravaggio. who has been renowned as the most of import Baroque painter in Italy. The manner is exemplified in this peculiar piece through its realistic reading of the narrative of Saint Paul which is rendered in a dramatic. theatrical. expressive mode and utilizes strong contrast between light and dark in the chiaroscuro technique.
Caravaggio’s commissioned rendering was polemically accepted by the members of the Cerasi chapel as his symbolic reading of the epiphany of the Jewish soldier was depicted with a focal point on the human facet of the instant realisation as opposed to the Godhead and supernatural accent most likely expected by the church. The portraiture of Saint Paul on his dorsum with his weaponries extended towards the sky in the form of a rood after holding seemingly fallen from his Equus caballus is presented in a compositional signifier that draws viewer accent to the back terminal of the Equus caballus. and a common adult male on his dorsum. This was interpreted by the commissioners as vulgar and disrespectful as they did non grok Caravaggio’s traveling and emotional portraiture of the powerful minute of realisation.

'Cars 2,' this summer's Pixar entry, hits theaters today. (See our review here.) Moviefone was lucky enough to talk with the animated sequel's star, Larry the Cable Guy, who plays trusty ol' pickup Mater.
We got to ask him about meeting real-life cable guys named Larry, what comedians he loves and the appeal of performing in kids movies. Enjoy!
Moviefone: In the movie, Mater goes to a fancy party and he makes some faux pas. Did you relate to that coming up in Hollywood?
Larry the Cable Guy: Oh man, I've been to a lot of parties for Comedy Central and, look, when you do anything out here they always have a wrap party. So I have been to parties and that's [how] I voiced Mater at that thing -- I took from my experience at all those. I feel really out of place at those things. I'm not a party guy and I'm not a Hollywood guy either.

Research and Practice-based Evidence
|According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, research is a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge (Perlman, 2008). Because of the design criteria, research studies typically are complex and costly. Therefore, much intervention work is done as public health practice that involves designing and implementing strategies based on current understanding of the science. The literature reviewed and abstracted for development of Intervention MICA included both research and practice-based evidence.
Research- and practice-based criteria were used to select relevant literature articles for inclusion in development of each of the intervention topics. Articles that did not meet these criteria were excluded from the abstraction process.
- Inclusion of evaluation components (e.g., process, impact, outcome)
- Presentation of positive outcomes (e.g., intermediate, behavior, health)
- Utilization of pre-/post- or between groups comparison study design (but not limited to randomized controlled trials)
- Inclusion of community-based intervention activities
- Provision of detailed intervention description
- Representation of a variety of settings, populations and strategies
The findings of the literature search were used to prepare a summary of the evidence of the effectiveness for the following six intervention strategies:
- Campaigns and promotions,
- Provider education,
- Group education,
- Individual education,
- Supportive relationships, and
- Environment and policy.
For each of the intervention topics in Intervention MICA, a table is provided that summarizes the research and practice-based evidence for each of the six strategies as it relates to changing:
- health outcomes;
- health behaviors;
- knowledge, skills, and beliefs;
- social support; and
- environment and policy.
Caution should be used in using the information in the table. The table does not tell you that one intervention strategy is more effective than another strategy for the following reasons:
- Some intervention strategies are relatively new and there is not yet enough evidence to suggest whether the strategy is effective.
- Some intervention strategies may have been effective with certain populations and in specific settings, but not sufficient to generalize to all populations or settings.
- Several intervention strategies may have been used as one part of a larger intervention study, and, while findings for the entire study indicate that the intervention works, it is difficult to know which of the strategies alone may have produced the positive results.
For each intervention topic, a table summarizing example evidence-based interventions is provided. To develop the table, research findings were abstracted according to the following components:
- Study Design: The type of research design that was used, including experimental, quasi-experimental, and cohort.
- Sample size: The number of participants that were evaluated at the end of the intervention period.
- Evaluation Methods and Measures: Whether process, impact and or outcome evaluation was conducted, along with the evaluation methods and measures used.
- Theoretical Foundation: The theoretical framework and constructs that were used to develop the intervention.
- Ecological Framework: Whether intervention approaches addressed multiple ecological levels, a single ecological level or none at all (e.g., individual, social/interpersonal, organization, community, policy).
- Health and Behavior Outcomes Assessed: Specific changes in the outcome of interest that were assessed, such as behaviors, health, morbidity, mortality, quality of life and their results.
- Intermediate Outcomes Assessed: Specific changes in intermediate outcomes that were assessed, including knowledge, attitudes, social support, policy change and their results.
Additionally, practice-based findings were abstracted according to the following components:
- Populations: The population targeted by the intervention, rationale for selecting this population, recruitment strategies, barriers for working with the population and strategies used to address the barriers.
- Settings: The settings in which the intervention was implemented, the rationale for choosing the setting, barriers to working in the setting and strategies used to address the barriers.
- Partners: The partners involved in the intervention, how they were engaged and their roles.
- Goal/Purpose: The overall goal/purpose and objectives of the intervention.
- Planning/Preparation: The steps taken to plan and prepare for implementation of the intervention.
- Intervention Strategies: The intervention strategies and activities that were used to implement the intervention.
- Maintenance activities: The activities used to maintain the intervention activities over time.
- Resources: The resources used to conduct the intervention and evaluation, including budget, staff, and materials.
- Implementation protocol: Whether or not there is a detailed guide on how the intervention was implemented.
- Duration: The length of time to complete the intervention activities (e.g., number of days, weeks, months).
- Certifications or Training: If there is a stated or implied need for training or certification in order to deliver the intervention.
- Tools: If intervention or evaluation tools are provided or referenced.
- Technology: If high, low or no levels of technology or resources are needed to implement the intervention.
- Challenges: If challenges to implementation are described.
- Lessons learned: Implications for practice and any lessons the researchers learned as a result of conducting the intervention and evaluation.
The information abstracted from the research and practice-based literature was used to prepare an abstract for each intervention deemed to be evidenced-based. Abstracts are organized to include the following:
- Title of the Intervention
- Website, if available
- Intervention Strategies utilized
- Purpose of the Intervention
- Intervention Description
- Theory, if mentioned
- Resources required
- Lessons Learned
The purpose for providing summaries of evidence-based strategies and example interventions is to provide the information needed to develop an intervention based on the identified needs of the community.

Students learn the basic skills using the formal elements of Art and design: Line, Shape, Tone, Colour, Pattern, Form, and Texture. Students learn how to use the pencil to create tone and draw from observation, making objects look real. Colour theory and how colour is used to create emotion, feeling and meaning. Students learn how to analyse art work and make connections with traditional and contemporary artist to inspire their own work.
Students expand on the basic skills project and create a sustained creative journey on skill and techniques. Students use Pop Art to make creative links to inspire own outcomes. Observing bugs as a stimulus students create sections of mark making skills and techniques using a variety of different media. Learning how to apply certain marks with control when creating a missed media approach.
Students cover more breadth of the Arts and study 6 themes across the year. Students expand on their skills and techniques and get them refining work more in order to challenge their mind set of what art is and can be. Students build on skills and techniques that are required at GCSE. Students are given more input in what projects, resources, artist links they make to give students independence, ownership of their work. Students learn how to present work, record ideas and develop work into final outcomes to prepare them for Art GCSE and A Level.
Students learn how to create a successful project to GCSE standard. How to develop ideas, refine ideas, adapt, modify what is working to improve, record ideas and develop ideas into final outcomes. Students cover more themes and revisit themes such as Portraits to further push their ideas. Students are encouraged to work on their strengths and new skills in Photography, Photoshop, and Digital media are encouraged to motivate, enthuse, and inspire students’ ideas
Students embark on their 60% unit where they pick one starting point out of: Disguise, Fragment, Personal Collection and Hands. Students develop initial ideas, make connections with artists, and start experimenting with different media to develop ideas, record detailed observational drawings, use their own photography, digital media, and tablet work to execute a sustained personal presentation. Students are prepared for the externally Set Task, set by the exam board with 5 starting points. Students select one to prepare work up to the exam where the students create a final outcome over 2 days that takes 10hrs to complete.
Students are inducted into 3 areas of study; Art, Photography and Graphic Design. Students in art produce a journal and have a topic a week to engage with and create a journal that takes them up Christmas. Photography. Students produce a set of work around the senses and in Graphic Design students are encouraged to develop ideas around experiments with Typography. The spring students are sent the exam paper for their AS with 7 themes on it. Students pick one to develop work which compiles of preparatory work and a 10hr exam at the end. Students prepare for year 13 before the end of year 12.
Students pick their starting point having researched likely starting point themes. Students then sustain a personal creative journey that encompasses development of ideas, refined experiments in a variety of media, recording through detailed drawing, painting, and digital media to create a final outcome at the end. This is worth 60% of their A Level. In the spring students’ are sent by the exam board 7 starting points to develop work and preparatory work on a sustained creative journey with a 15hr hour exam at the end worth 40% of the A Level. This also includes a written element called the related study where students write an analytical assignment that accompanies the practical work.
