ITERO 2020 – The Christian Life – Week 3
Losing the Soul-life, Participating in the Rapture of the Overcomers, and
Receiving the End of Our Faith the Salvation of the Soul
Luke 14:26, 34-35
26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and moreover, even his own soul-life, he cannot be My disciple.
34 Therefore salt is good; but if even the salt becomes tasteless, with what will its saltiness be restored?
35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the manure pile; they will throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
John 15:5, 16
5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you.
Ps. 73:25-26, 28
25 Whom do I have in heaven but You? And besides You there is nothing I desire on earth.
26 My flesh and my heart fail, But God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
28 But as for me, drawing near to God is good for me; I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may declare all Your works.
24 And He said to them, Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter, yet will not be able.
30 And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.”
We may think that the lord jesus teaches us only to love. But in verse 26 He teaches us to hate. This is not religion; this is a matter in God’s economy….Especially we need to hate ourselves, even our own soul life.
What we love in ourselves is not mainly our spirit or body but our soul….Actually, all forms of amusement, entertainment, and pleasures are for the enjoyment of the soul. In 14:26 the Lord clearly says that if we do not hate our own soul life, we cannot be His disciples. (Life-study of Luke, pp. 281-282)
In Luke 14:34 and 35 the Lord [speaks] of salt….Salt by nature is an element that kills and eliminates the germs of corruption. To the corrupted earth, the followers of the Lord Jesus should be such an element keeping the earth from being fully corrupted. The Lord indicates that it is possible for salt to become tasteless. For the followers of the Lord to become tasteless means that they have lost their salting function. They have become the same as earthly people, with no distinction from the unbelievers.
Believers in Christ are the salt of the earth used by God to kill and eliminate the earth’s corruption. Their taste depends upon their renouncing of earthly things. The more they renounce the things of the earth, the more powerful will be their taste. They will lose their taste by not being willing to renounce all the things of the present life. If this happens, they will be fit neither for the soil, signifying the church as God’s farm (1 Cor. 3:9) issuing in the coming kingdom (Rev. 11:15), nor for the manure pile, signifying hell, the dirty place in the universe (Rev. 21:8; 22:15). They will be thrown out from the kingdom of God, especially from the glory of the kingdom in the millennium. They have been saved from eternal perdition, but they did not renounce the earthly things and have lost their function in the kingdom of God. Thus, they are not fit for the coming kingdom, but need to be put aside for discipline.
Because our Father knows that His children may be “naughty” and not faithfully enjoy Christ, He has made part of His full salvation an incentive and a reward…to encourage us, warn us, and remind us to keep ourselves in the enjoyment of Christ today and to behave ourselves in this enjoyment. Otherwise, we shall be disciplined. This does not mean that we shall perish, that we shall be lost. Since we have been saved eternally, we shall never perish. Nevertheless, some of the Father’s children will need to suffer discipline during the coming age. Those children who suffer the Father’s discipline in the coming age will not cease to be His children….This matter of God’s dispensational discipline of His children is clearly taught in the New Testament.
We have seen that the soil signifies God’s farm, which is the church, and the church will issue in the coming kingdom. The manure pile, the dirtiest place in the universe, signifies hell, the lake of fire. To be sure, no saved person would be fit for such a place. But for what place will you be fit after the Lord Jesus comes back? You certainly will not be fit for hell, the manure pile, because the Lord’s blood has washed you and you have been saved. Will you, then, be fit for the kingdom? Your conscience may not allow you to say that you are fit for the kingdom. If this is your situation, you are fit neither for hell nor for the kingdom. This means that you are fit for a third place, a place of discipline. (Life-study of Luke, pp. 283-284, 286-287)

PHILIPPINE Sports Performance sends a strong message and Marinerong Pilipino- San Beda got it loud and clear.
Four players finished in double digits for the Gymers led by Jayvee Dela Cruz's 26 points built around seven triples. Dariel James Bayla chipped in 17 while Yutuc added 16 and former pro Val Acu?a contributed 15.
The new kid on the block debuted in style, stunning the Red Lions with a come-from-behind win, 94-92, in the opener of the 2023 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup Thursday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
PSP climbed back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and turn the game around on Ian Jay Yutuc's go-ahead triple in the waning seconds.
Yutuc's trey cap a searing 19-8 rally and shove the Gymers ahead to stay in the last 32 seconds in the payoff period.
"Sobrang saya kasi galing kami ng PSL (Pilipinas Super League) and we had a bad record there. Kabubuo pa lang ng team at nagbi-build pa lang kami ng chemistry and good thing, panalo sa first game. Team effort lang talaga," said PSP coach John Paolo Lao.
Dela Cruz added five rebounds, six assists and three steals to quarterback PSPs offense. The Gymers also got ample coaching lift from PBA stars Jericho Cruz (SMB), CJ Perez (SMB) and Jackson Corpuz (Magnolia), who served as Lao's assistants.
Yukien Andrada fired 19 points, Jacob Cortez had 15 while Clifford Jopia collared 15 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks for the Red Lions.
San Beda, parading a young squad following the departure of its key players, controlled the majority of the match and led by as much as 12 points until PSP picked up its rhythm and turned the game around. (JBU)

Money Machine - The Documentary: Behind the Scenes Episode 5: SIN CITY'S COVER-UP CULTURE
Billions have been spent marketing Vegas as a safe adult playground, but Sin City is far more dangerous than it appears and far more willing to hide reality if the truth gets in the way of the registers ringing.
For the full story uncovering the aftermath of October 1, purchase filmmaker Ramsey Denison's Money Machine now:

Exposing Sin City’s darkest secrets: On October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 20,000 concertgoers from his hotel room at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. In a matter of minutes, Paddock killed 58 people and wounded more than 400. It was the largest mass shooting in the history of the United States. Yet, just a couple of years later, Vegas seems to have forgotten it completely. In the aftermath of remarketing Las Vegas as a safe destination for tourists, many questionable practices were put into place—one of the most shocking being a lawsuit against the victims of this devastating tragedy. On top of that, despite the popular #VegasStrong movement and nationwide fundraising, there’s still a huge question of where all that money went. An enthralling documentary about the dark side of the Las Vegas economy, Money Machine exposes Sin City’s culpability in this country’s deadliest shooting.

The Minister of Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, has urged Nigeria and South Africa to take advantage of the window of opportunities available in their economies to strengthen economic growth in the continent.
Aganga stated this at a dinner organised by the Nigeria Consulate in South Africa and co-hosted by Financial Times and Brand South Africa in Johannesburg on Thursday.
He emphasised that the two countries must not allow the opportunities to pass without being exploited by them for the benefit of their citizens and for the people in the continent.
“Nigeria and South Africa have the fastest economic growth in the continent. If Africa must take advantage of the current global economic meltdown to boost growth in the continent, then the two countries need to work together.
“The two countries have to complement each other in area of comparative advantage. There is no country that can develop its economy without industrialisation, South Africa is the leader in Africa in that area.
“But Nigeria has the advantage in area of market and raw material over many countries, Nigeria has the largest population in Africa, an investment in Nigeria is a gateway into the ECOWAs with about 300 million population, Nigeria is a market nobody can ignore, “the News Agency of Nigeria quoted Aganga as saying at the gathering.
He said that Nigeria is no longer interested in investors coming into the country to export raw material out of the country.
“What we want are investors setting up industry and manufacturing plants in the country, to help provide employment for our youths and ever growing population.
“Nigeria is discussing with South Africa on ways to collaborate in setting up automobile plants in Nigeria. There are opportunities in mining, not for exportation alone, but for mining of the mineral for processing and production,’’ Aganga said.
He said that there were untapped potentials in the agricultural sector, saying, “ Nigeria is blessed with 84 million of acre of land, where everything and anything can grow.
But the agriculture sector of our economy is not fully tapped.
“We want investors in the agriculture sector not only in the area of planting and harvesting of agriculture product, but also in area of food processing and storage, this is an area where South Africa can come in, because they are well ahead of other Africa countries in food processing and storage.
“There are also business opportunities in oil and gas, Nigeria is the largest producer of oil and gas in the continent and investment opportunities in that sector is open,” the minister stated.
He said Nigeria can also learn from South Africa in service and infrastructure development.


The Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) loan enables a great number of homeowners in Hernando County to refinance their under water homes when it was previously unattainable. If you are among the numerous who qualify for the newest HARP refinance program, FiveStarsMortgage.com will help you to efficiently help out in your mortgage loan. Call 800-871-2636 or fill out this HARP Information Request to get started toward a lower interest rate immediately.
HARP Refinance Qualifications, Plan Prerequisites, and Updates
The Making Home Affordable Program, first created and started in late 2009, helps many homeowners who had been previously helpless to get refinancing for their home loan. By way of general decreases in the economy and home value decline, home owners were having trouble spending more than they can afford on their homes. Amongst the most significant benefits of the program was the creation of the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP. Utilizing this new loan refinancing process, approved residents of Weeki Wachee with HARP Refinancing can get a more affordable payment for their home loan and save lots of money over the years.
The HARP system is for home-owners with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae backed home mortgages having a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio greater than 80% on the mortgage loan. Because home loans that have an LTV of over 80% are often not in a position to qualify for typical refinancing options, the HARP program was necessary to let as many people as possible to begin saving money on their payments. As credit seekers demands have changed since the program was implemented, the HARP program has also gone through some adjustments permitting added flexibility for approval. Currently, the HARP program provided is labeled HARP 2.0 and offers more flexible qualification guidelines. This is a review of the historical past and continuing growth of the HARP loan refinancing program:
HARP 1 (Original HARP Refinance mortgage loan)
The HARP 2.0 home refinance loan program is providing critical assistance for Weeki Wachee, FL home owners that did not refinance their home in the past because of diminishing house values. The new version of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP 2.0) has now been released. This new version of HARP allows unrestricted LTV, which is the most significant alteration. This simply means no more limitations on how much a homeowner owes on their home loan vs. how much money their home is currently worth! Florida home-owners upside-down or under water with their home loan will get some assistance. On top of that, there are also a lot less restrictive credit guidelines in place. Most of the so called government relief refinance programs in the past have fallen short of honestly aiding homeowners to refinance their mortgage loan to a lower rate of interest. The current rendition of the HARP mortgage program (2.0) offers the help many Weeki Wachee, FL homeowners have deparately needed for too long. Whatever who your current loan provider is (Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, Citi, etc) we can provide assistance providing your mortgage loan is presently Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac backed.
HARP 3 is still a hypothetical scenario and all of the information provided is hypothesis. The important points of the program derive from what is increasingly being spoken about but it is unknown what the eventual program will offer you or if it will even pass. The government has assumed that it would probably help over 20 million borrowers and save families an average of $200 a month on their payments, that could total $35-70 billion in financial benefits annually.
HARP 3.0 MYREFI (Planned Potential Program)
HARP refinance mortgage application form requests are being processed now. You can click here to get started and to check your HARP mortgage loan eligibility. The short application form only takes a moment without any personal info required. You can also call 800-871-2636 7 days a week.

Your Assignment: Find at least six high quality secondary sources (a combination of monographs and journal articles).
The resources on this page go beyond Google Scholar and Library Search. The resources on this page cater to a specific audience, in this case those who study History
APPROACHES TO SEARCHING AND RESOURCES TO USE:
Note: Blend approaches 1 and 2 to get a diversity of perspectives.
Approach 1. Browsing Academic Journals. We use these when we're learning the ways others have researched a topic, the questions they are asking; the arguments they are making. An academic journal will provide a forum for research in a specific field. Often, we cite the articles contained in journals in our research papers. Often, these have downloadable PDF attachments.
Approach 2. Searching in a Database. We use these when we're conducting serious research on a topic. We do this because we want to see what other scholars/authors have researched and written outside of just one key journal and across a specific field of study or discipline and sometimes across the divisions (Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences). These databases use "Get it at UC"
Note: In addition to the journals listed above, other journals will appear in the results of your database searches.
Journal article-focused databases (narrower in focus)
Book-focused databases (broader in focus)
Approach 3. Finding databases on your own. Because this guide was developed in consultation with your professor, if you're not finding what you need from the resources here, talk to your professor or a librarian (using Ask Us button or contact on Home on this page). To find out about other databases, use these links:

text: Dr. Nachtigall is an endocrinologist and physician who defends the use of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) for menopausal women who suffer severe symptoms and for whom there are no contraindications. Her defense is based in part on a ten-year double-blind study of 168 women, half on ERT, half on placebo. The reader is not told very much about these women except that they were all chronic disease patients to start with. That, plus the small number, seems hardly convincing evidence to defend a highly controversial practice. In fairness, Dr. Nachtigall urges caution and she lists the many contraindications such as liver problems, history of breast cancer, hypertension, diabetes, etc. In the study and in her treatment of patients, she also introduces progesterone for one week every month following three week's estrogen therapy. This in effect reintroduces menstrual periods and is the doctor's answer to the need to slough off the uterine lining built up by the estrogen which may encourage endometrial cancer to develop. The virtues of estrogen are explained at length as the author discusses all the physical and psychological changes that occur during premenopause and menopause. This information is useful, often repetitive. The style--sometimes slangy, sometimes employing medical phrases--also leaves something to be desired. As a source for hard fact--yes, with discretion. As a convincing argument for ERT, no.


Everton boss Ronald Koeman pays tribute to Wayne Rooney after striker nets 200th Premier League goal
- Wayne Rooney has scored twice in two matches since rejoining Everton
- His effort against Manchester City was his 200th Premier League goal
- Toffees manager Ronald Koeman heaped praise on Rooney's achievement
Everton boss Ronald Koeman paid tribute to Wayne Rooney but was left disappointed as his side conceded a late equaliser against 10-man Manchester City.
Rooney netted his 200th Premier League goal after 35 minutes before Kyle Walker saw red on his home debut for Manchester City just before half-time.
City pushed for the equaliser with 10 men in the second half and eventually found it when substitute Raheem Sterling volleyed home to secure a 1-1 draw.

Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin was also sent off in a frenetic finish at the Etihad Stadium and Koeman had mixed feelings after the game.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Toffees boss said: 'We're disappointed. Of course maybe you will sign for that point before the game, but (we were) 1-0 up at half-time and 11 against 10.
'We had problems with keeping the ball and we played too fast the long ball. We worked really hard for the result, and one point is a good result.'
The performance of Rooney, who also scored in the 1-0 victory over Stoke in Everton's first game of the Premier League season, impressed Koeman.
The Dutchman added: 'In the first game when we played Stoke at home, there was a difference between him and the rest about cleverness in the game, view of the game and also tonight he had a big impact on the final result.'
Rooney scored 183 of his Premier League goals for Manchester United and the England striker was happy to reach the milestone at the Etihad Stadium.
'It was nice, obviously with my history for Manchester United, I've scored a few times here,' he told Sky Sports.

Rooney has scored twice in two matches since rejoining Everton from Manchester United
'To do it today, in such an important game for us, it was a sweet moment and I'm sure the red half of Manchester will have enjoyed that one as well.
'The thing with me is to play. Last year I didn't feel I played enough games and if you're not playing those games you're not getting that match fitness.
'I've had a good pre-season, played a lot of games over the last few weeks and I feel good, and that's vital for me.'

- For other uses, see Excelsior.
The Excelsior-class was a type of battleship and explorer that was first built in the 2280s and went on to be used by Starfleet throughout the 24th and 25th centuries. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual; Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)
The prototype of this class was the USS Excelsior (NX-2000) was initially fitted with an experimental transwarp drive and was proclaimed as "the Great Experiment". (TOS movie: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
Although the Dallas may have been intended to be the final ship, it seems this decision was reversed, since, in 2409, Starfleet has ships of the Excelsior class and the Enterprise-B refit subclass in service 125 and 116 years after the first ships were commissioned, respectively.
The "great experiment" of transwarp drive was meant to revolutionize faster-than-light transport by capturing the warp envelope in a transporter field and beaming it ahead of the ship and increasing the speed in which it could travel. However, the Excelsior's first test of the transwarp drive to apprehend the stolen USS Enterprise in 2285, was thwarted when the drive was sabotaged by Montgomery Scott. (FASA RPG module: Federation Starship Recognition Manual; TOS movie: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
Despite the ignoble start, tests continued to be ran on the Excelsior but the transwarp drive continued to prove unreliable and was declared a failure. However, the Excelsior's spaceframe proved to be very stable and reliable and it was decided to replace the transwarp engines with standard warp drive and continued with production of further starships. A further Mark I Excelsior-class starship, the USS Proxima was built and she underwent shakedown trials in 2288 (reference stardate 2/2400).
Several years later, a new variant of the Excelsior-class design entered service with added modifications to the basic hull design. The first ship to be constructed to these specifications was the USS Enterprise-B which was launched in 2293. (TNG movie: Star Trek Generations)
Although some Excelsior-class vessels were built to these specifications, many new vessels used the original design. (Star Trek: The Next Generation; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; ST video game: Legacy; DS9 episode: "Paradise Lost")
The production run of the Excelsior-class ran well into the 24th century, which highlighted the adaptability and soundness of the basic design. However, by the early 2330s, construction on new Excelsior-class vessels was down to just two a year, as new starship classes such as the Ambassador-class came into service. Although the Excelsiors were often relegated to secondary duties by the 2360s, large numbers remained in service. (ST short story: "Hour of Fire"; TNG episode: "Tin Man"; VOY episode: "Endgame"; DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind")
During the 2370s, the Excelsiors served in the bulk of engagements against the Borg and the Dominion, although there was a high attrition rate in combat missions. Due to this, at least one Excelsior-class, the USS Lakota, was refitted with more advanced weaponry, such as quantum torpedoes.
The initial Mark I design of the Excelsior-class included 16 phaser banks (8 FH-11's, 8 FH-5's) and 4 photon torpedo launchers. The two varied phaser types was to make sure that all weapons arcs were covered by both long-range and short-range weapons. However, the evaluation teams decided to replace the 8 FH-5 banks and replaced them with two further FH-11 banks, which meant that the Excelsior's only had ten phaser banks, but the field of fire overlapped more effectively.
The improvement in torpedo launchers technology allowed two further launchers to be incorporated into the Mark II design and remained in place through further models. (FASA RPG module: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
By the 2370s, the Excelsior design had been outfitted with improved phaser emplacements, quantum torpedoes and other tactical improvements which brought it into line with later starship designs and proved necessary during the conflicts with the Borg and the Dominion. (DS9 episode: "Paradise Lost")
The deflector shields of the Excelsior-class were an improved version of the quadri-transducer shield that was in use in the late 23rd century, and was found to deliver more deflective power. (FASA RPG module: Federation Ship Recognition Manual)
By the mid-24th century, Starfleet began to allow civilians to travel aboard Federation starships and allow an officer to have their families with them as they traveled. While the newest starship designs such as the Galaxy-class and Nebula-class were built to accommodate civilians, the older Excelsior-class ships weren't designed to carry them. In fact, one of the administrative reasons for family accomodations on exploratory vessels was often cited as the attempted disciplinary action against an officer of the USS Excelsior itself, who had to demand a leave for an important family matter. (FASA RPG module: Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual)
However, minor refits allowed for some accommodation of families. The presence of civilians also made their safety a top priority, as the larger Galaxy-class vessels were equipped with a facility to separate the saucer section and allow civilians to escape from a field of battle. With this procedure in mind, several Excelsior-class vessels, such as the USS Excelsior, USS Yorktown and USS Hood were equipped with the same ability to separate the saucer. (TNG novelization: Encounter at Farpoint; TNG novel: Ghost Ship; TNG novelization: Generations)

Mummy Review: I just got these Sipahh Straws and I may have to hide them from my kids, because I love them!
Disclosure– The following products were provided, but my review and opinion are my own.
When I first came to Australia, one of the family members I stayed with was in love with these straws, but I had never seen anything like it. I mean, I had seen chocolate powder mixes or syrup even, to add to your drink. I had never heard of people putting the flavour in a straw and just drinking your milk out of it! How fun!
Well, *Sipahh Straws has done it! And wow, what a variety of flavours! The best part has to be that each straw contains less than 1/2tsp of sugar! This is a little less worry for me as a parent, as I already fret over the sugar intake of the children in this house.
In comparison to one other unnamed milk drink mix with 8g sugar per serve, Sipahh has 1.8g per serve.
One of my children is a major milk-a-holic and was literally bouncing up and down when I explained these to her, and she was keen to try every flavour. We settled for a couple. Now, for those of you who have pickier children, I hear you. My eldest is the pickiest I know, and refuses to drink milk, but given these, she has almost warmed up to the idea of trying it. (This is the kid who won’t try anything, but more on that later.) This is an excellent idea for those pickier kids, though.
The straw itself has little flavour gems inside, and something on the top and bottom to prevent choking hazards, and to keep the goodness in the straw itself. The milk is flavoured as you drink through the straw, so much easier than measuring out amounts and trying to get it to blend into the drink itself. Each straw has a pre-measured portion, and it’s more than enough for a cup of milk!
Another positive is that they come individually wrapped, so no fretting over a stale taste! They actually made their way into stockings at Christmas this year because of that, and the kids who received them were stoked! So, might I suggest adding them to party bags, Christmas stockings, or any variety of gifts as a little bonus!
Not sure what flavour you love? They have variety packs, or individual flavours for sale, so you can sample and choose the ones you love! In my personal opinion, you can’t go past the chocolate mint. Honestly, these would also be great to drink with a milkshake, or an iced coffee, too, which I will have to try at some point!
Many parents I spoke with love these straws, and their kids do, too! As a matter of fact, one child pounced on these when I was sharing the wonderful flavours with some mums. It was hilarious, and a good indication of how much they are loved by the children who have tried them.
One downside I have to say, is that they do not ship internationally at the moment, so my American friends will be missing out a bit. Hopefully soon their goodness will be available to you!
Where do you find these goodies? Check out your local supermarket like Coles or Woolworths, or their website!

Mango smoothie, it’s sounds delicious
Oh my goodness these look amazing! Too bad my son isn’t old enough to have these yet! There is going to be some happy kiddies out there 🙂
My near three year old has just had these for the first time and she is a big fan! Mummy really likes the chocolate mint one! It’s a nice little treat to change up what we drink every so often. 🙂
I would like to try the chocolate one because it is the one my girls always fight over
Chocolate seems to be a popular one! 🙂
I’d love to try the latte flavour. I’m sure my 10 year old would also love to try it, since he is so ‘grown up’ (according to him, not me!). My other two would probably like to try the honeycomb, and the raspberry, so I’m heading to the website to order all of these flavours!
Lots of flavours to sample! Good idea! With the 50% off coupon it’s a great time to try! 🙂
I’m not much of a caffeine person (for some reason, it makes me really anxious) but I have always loved the taste of iced coffee. I think if I won, I’d have to give Sipaah’s “Ice-Cold Hipster Latte” a try. Sounds like the perfect playoff between the taste of real coffee and its unfortunate adverse effects 😀
Good choice! Many seem to been keen on trying the coffe/latte flavour! I have to check it out myself!
I would love to try the Velvet Vanilla, however, I see from your post above a choc-orange flavour (although not listed on their website) which would also be fantastic to try! I’m lactose-free, so would love to find something like this which makes drinking LF milk bearable 😉
Just the name “Velvet Vanilla” sounds nice! The chocolate orange is found in the limited edition boxes found in Woolworths or Coles currently if it’s not available online 🙂
I am crazy about chocolate milk but rarely drink it because its addictive. I’d love to try the chocolate variety because chocolate milk without the sugar hit would be great
I love the fact that these have so much less sugar than many of the other milk drink options! Chocolate is definitely a favourite here, too!
Id love to try banana flavour! Reminds me of summer days as a kid, licking banana paddle pops!
It’s good to have a wonderful memory like that to connect with a flavour! Lovely!
My kids love these straws! They each have their preferences but both love chocolate!
Chocolate is a basic, but oh so tasty! It’s definitely a favourite around here, too!
I would love to try the coffee one and kids won’t like it so even better
Hah! That seems to be the consensus with the coffee flavour! It’s nice to have a flavour the kids won’t touch!
Chilled Out Chocolate Mint! It’s always been a favorite flavour choice for my kids and I so we’d love to try is in the Sipahh Straws.
I’m a fan of the chocolate mint as well! It’s a nice twist to an everyday flavour!
I’d love to try the caramel! My favourite ls are chic mint and cookies and cream but my son always goes after the c&c – lucky 4 me he doesn’t like mint!
I was too excited and forgot to spell check that haha
Hah! It’s always good to have a flavour to keep for yourself when all the others get taken 🙂
I would love to try the mango if it’s half as good as it looks it would be the perfect reminder of summer tastes as the colder months approach .
Good idea! Summery mixes do make those colder winter days brighter!
I love sipahh straws!! I would love to try the new coffee flavour. It’s been on my to try list for a while now and would make a delicious treat for myself with warm milk ?
Sounds like coffee is pretty popular! I need to get some to try!
They are the best aren’t they 🙂 we usually buy when on special for a treat. I’d really love to try the new coffee one, as well it’s coffee haha
They make a nice treat! Those new coffee ones do look nice, and I’m not generally a coffee person!
I saw chocolate flavour and stopped reading. Chocolate milk is the best!
I would have to agree that chocolate milk is way up on the top of my list, too!
I would absolutely love to try caramel! I am a caramel milkshake fan and they don’t seem to distribute them in the multipacks. Not sure if the kids would get to try it though, I would be hiding them away! Will have to try telling the kids they don’t come in caramel flavour ?
Ha!! No harm in saving some for a well deserved treat!

Video Encryption/Decryption IP / VISEC
In traditional video encryption methods, all the content formed after compression can be encrypted using a standard encryption method such as DES, AES, IDEA, or encryption can be applied on raw video without compression. However, the high amount of resources required for these methods complicates the applicability of these algorithms. For these reasons, traditional video encryption methods are an inefficient solution for encoding videos with high data sizes. The VISEC module offers an encoding algorithm that secures a very large volume of data by performing much less encryption. Data encrypted with the VISEC algorithm does not increase after encryption and uses less resources for encryption.
Achieving security with less encryption makes sense, especially with large data volumes, due to the heavy computational load of encryption operations. Performing less encryption in power-constrained environments such as mobile devices or sensor networks is important to both increase battery life and reduce area usage.

New York Decriminalizes Up to 2 Ounces of Marijuana
The state of New York in now one step closer to making recreational marijuana legal. On Monday, July 29, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill that decriminalized recreational marijuana use — making possession of small amounts of the drug punished with fines rather than prison time.
It remains illegal in New York to grow, buy or sell any quantity of recreational marijuana.
Cuomo said the measure would also allow a mechanism for clearing the records of people who had been criminally convicted of possessing small amounts of marijuana.
“By providing individuals who have suffered the consequences of an unfair marijuana conviction with a path to have their records expunged and by reducing draconian penalties, we are taking a critical step forward in addressing a broken and discriminatory criminal justice process,” said Cuomo.
More than 360,000 people were arrested for possession of marijuana in New York from 2008 to 2017, according to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

OUR OPINION: Grand Forks district should go to school on Fargo tax vote

It’s true that Fargo and Grand Forks have their differences, and those differences extend to citywide votes. Fargo voters passed a referendum to build a new library, while Grand Forks voters rejected one, to take just one example.
But it’s also true that the communities have their similarities. In fact, they’re enough “alike” culturally and economically that each city studies and learns from the other.
Make that culturally, economically …
And educationally. The Fargo and Grand Forks school districts have important traits in common.
That’s why Grand Forks school officials should take careful note of what happened in Fargo this week. For on Tuesday, Fargo voters trounced a crucial property-tax request from their school district - and it’s essentially the same request that the Grand Forks School District also may feel compelled to make at some point over the coming year.
“The Fargo School District’s request to levy up to 150 general fund mills was easily defeated in Tuesday’s special election,” The Forum reported Wednesday.
“The measure lost 57.3 percent to 42.7 percent. It needed a simple majority to pass. … The district needs voter approval of the levy by the end of 2015, or the dollars from its current levy (of 139 mills) will be frozen, and the district will lose out on revenue from increases in property values.”
In a nutshell, that’s also the challenge the Grand Forks School District faces, though the numbers are different in this community.
So, should Fargo voters’ rejection carry weight in Grand Forks? Grand Forks Superintendent Larry Nybladh seems to think it should not. When asked by The Forum whether the Fargo vote will affect Grand Forks’ decision, Nybladh responded this way:
“Every school district’s needs and circumstances are so very different,” he said. “It really would have very negligible effect on the thinking of our school board.”
But we’d strongly urge Nybladh and the board to think again. For while what happens in Fargo doesn’t mean everything, it often means something, especially in key areas.
And in years past, one of those areas has been the public’s level of support for the school system.
In Fargo, that support traditionally has been quite high. Voters showed this by approving bond issues and construction projects almost as a matter of routine.
But now, that support seems to have eroded. In its place, large numbers of voters are showing a level of skepticism about school finances that seems almost unprecedented.
It’s hard to remember a time when Fargo voters said “no” to an urgent request from their public schools.
Has a similar skepticism arisen in Grand Forks? And if it has, then how should the Grand Forks School District approach the prospect of its own big property tax vote?
Watch this space, this page and - residents can hope - Grand Forks School Board meetings for potential answers to those questions.
Grand Forks officials need not obsess on what happened in Fargo. But neither should they ignore it, because at least some of the attitudes and aggravations that have shown up there seem likely to be in play here, too.

After they reach the age of 35 then their fertility declines more significantly. And till the age of 40 a woman's fertility levels are impacted to a certain extent than that which was present in her 20's.

Installations for the oil preparation in refineries
The presence of salt in crude oil negatively affects the equipment and makes the necessary chemical and physical reactions more complicated. The salt that is present in the crude oil is dissolved in water. Electrical dehydrators are used to perform a deep dehydration and desalting simultaneously. Inside the electrical dehydrator, an electrostatic field is produced by the means of alternating current. Oil emulsion flows through the field and the residual water is being separated from it.
The price of an electrical dehydrator depends on the configuration, automation level and operational conditions.
According to the shape of the electrical dehydrator, there can be:
- Cylindrical electrical dehydrators
- Spherical electrical dehydrators
According to the placement there can be:
- Vertical and
- Horizontal electrical dehydrators

Preliminary CDC Date Indicates That U.S. Overdose Deaths Fell in 2018
For the first time since 1990, the number of Americans killed by drug overdose may have dropped from the year prior. Preliminary data released in July by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that drug overdose deaths declined by about 5 percent in 2018.
The CDC puts the number of deaths at just over 68,000, down from about 70,000 in 2017. For context, here’s a look at how the number of overdose deaths in the U.S. has changed from year to year since 1999:
As you can see, annual drug overdose deaths have skyrocketed since 1999—more than quadrupled, in fact. And, until 2018, that count seemed to be swelling inexorably larger each year. So the data released last month might mark an important turning point in the overdose epidemic that has ravaged the U.S. for roughly twenty years.
This good news comes on the heels of other signs that the country has finally started taking the epidemic seriously. Last year, congress finally took some action, however limited, to address the issue. Meanwhile, individual states have also been trying to take matters into their own hands to combat the epidemic. And with a slate of recent indictments, the U.S. Department of Justice isn’t too far behind.
However, it’s important to reiterate that this CDC data is preliminary. The final tally of overdose deaths in 2018 might wind up being higher or lower than that of this initial release. For example, the preliminary data for 2017 showed that there were roughly 72,000 deaths caused by drug overdose that year; the actual reported number was adjusted down to just over 70,000.
There are still other reasons to be cautious. While the overall number of overdose deaths dropped in 2018, according to the New York Times, the dropoff from previous years was due almost entirely to lower deaths resulting from prescription opioid painkillers. Deaths resulting from certain drugs, especially methamphetamine and fentanyl, continued to rise.
Synthetic opioids such as Fentanyl have proven to be particularly damaging; the preliminary CDC data indicate that as many as 32,000 fatal overdoses were caused by synthetic opioids in 2018, up from 28,000 in 2017. As Vox’s German Lopez pointed out, fentanyl is still largely endemic to parts of the Northeast and Midwest. “If fentanyl starts to spread to other parts of the country in full force, overdose deaths could rise in other places too — and so would the overall death toll,” Lopez noted.
Overdoses Remain High
And though fatal drug overdoses fell overall, 68,000 is still an incredibly high number. To put that in context, that number “still exceeded the nation’s peak annual deaths from car crashes, AIDS or guns,” according to the New York Times. Meanwhile, the total number of lives claimed since the onset of the overdose epidemic in 1999 has reached a horrifying total of more than 700,000.
But in spite of these caveats, the preliminary data should ultimately be cause for optimism. Even if the initial estimate is adjusted upwards, the final number is likely going to be in the same ballpark, meaning that, at the very least, 2018’s total signals a leveling off. The U.S. has been reeling from this epidemic—arguably the worst health crisis in our nation’s history—for nearly two decades, and any indication of its waning is worth celebrating.

Argentina: This year’s football world cup in Qatar will be the last world cup of Argentina’s star footballer Lionel Messi’s career.
This was confirmed by the star footballer himself in a statement.
According to foreign media reports, the famous football player Lionel Messi will play his last football World Cup in November this year.
Speaking to Argentine media, 35-year-old Messi said, “Of course this is my last World Cup, I feel good physically, I was able to play a good pre-season this year, which I couldn’t do last year.”
Messi started his international career in 2005 and since then he has played 164 matches and scored 90 goals for Argentina.

The traffic flows predicted for the design year—1988—for the bypass north and south of the Sheep-bridge interchange were 14,000 and 19,100 vehicles per day respectively. In October 1979 the actual traffic flow on the northern section was above 9,600 vehicles per day but that can of course be expected to increase by 1988. No figures are available for the southern section.
The predicted flows assumed improvement of the A61 south of Chesterfield. This has not taken place, but instead the A61—now A38—has been linked to the M1 at Alfreton—junction 28. This reduces the volume of traffic taking the A61 route past Dronfield.

For British cycling, there is a lot more than titles at stake at the Road World Championships in Doha this week.
On Wednesday, the event's organisers - international federation the UCI - will announce if Yorkshire has won the right to host the 2019 edition of the sport's flagship event.
And with a UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in cycling adding to the pressure on Team Sky - as well as national governing body British Cycling - victory would represent some much-needed positive news at a time of unprecedented scrutiny.
Staging the sport's most important championship outside of an Olympics for the first time since 1982 could surpass Yorkshire's spectacular hosting of the Tour de France's Grand Depart in 2014.
But this has become about a lot more than eight days of action, and the prestige of providing the final act of a decade during which Britain became accustomed to hosting global sports events.
A collaboration between tourism promoter Welcome to Yorkshire, funding agency UK Sport and British Cycling, the 2019 bid is backed by the government to the tune of £24m, including £15m of grassroots investment.
While participation has grown significantly in recent years, those in charge of the sport believe that, for success to be properly harnessed, there needs to be a major improvement in facilities and infrastructure.
Compared to European neighbours, Britain has a chronic shortage of closed road circuits, where cyclists can ride and compete safely. According to British Cycling, there has been £10m of public investment in facilities - via Sport England - since 2009. So an injection of another £15m over the next five years could be a game-changer, as the sport tries to appeal to a younger, urban-based and more diverse demographic.
Sir Gary Verity, who devised the 2019 bid, hopes that, if successful, it will lead to a fourth day being added to the annual Tour de Yorkshire, allowing for two days of women's racing.
Campaigners will also no doubt use it to reinforce efforts to persuade the Department of Transport to invest significantly more in bike lanes, especially outside of London, where levels of provision remain drastically low. Britain puts just £1 per person per year into everyday cycling, compared to about £28 in the Netherlands.
And yet, it will take more than good news on Wednesday to divert attention away from cycling's recent turbulence. Who would have thought that last month's hacking of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) computer system, and the release of Sir Bradley Wiggins' medical records, would lead so quickly to Ukad officials making a surprise visit to 'the medal factory' itself - the Manchester velodrome, home of Team Sky and British Cycling?
Wiggins and Team Sky supremo Sir Dave Brailsford may have thought they had ridden out the worst of the storm that erupted over Wiggins' therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) on medical grounds for banned steroid triamcinolone - especially when the narrative suddenly lurched towards the Daily Telegraph's undercover sting that cost Sam Allardyce his job as England football manager.
But then came former rider Jonathan Tiernan-Locke's claim to BBC Sport that British Cycling doctor Richard Freeman (the man who had signed off Wiggins' TUEs) had "freely offered" controversial painkiller tramadol at the 2012 World Championships. British Cycling says Freeman denies the claim.
There was then an allegation in the Daily Mail that a medical delivery had been made by a British Cycling coach to Team Sky in June 2011 on the day Wiggins won the Criterium du Dauphine in La Toussuire.
There is no suggestion Wiggins has broken any rules, and he has said he welcomes the investigation. Team Sky have emphasised their belief they have done nothing wrong. Both parties insist the TUEs Wiggins received were for medical reasons and not to gain an unfair advantage. And British Cycling says it can say nothing until the inquiries are complete.
But some awkward questions remain:
- What medication was in that mystery package?
- Were records not kept of such dispatches?
- Why did Team Sky appear so clumsy and struggle to explain it?
- Was the relationship between the publicly funded governing body and the privately financed Team Sky too close?
- Will Ukad's investigation be thorough enough?
- And could Sky - soon to be replaced by HSBC as British Cycling's main sponsor - reconsider its multi-million pound bankrolling of the team that has transformed the country's elite cycling fortunes?
Europe's largest media giant has done incredibly well out of its partnership with cycling - and says it remains fully committed to its racing team.
Graham McWilliam, chairman of the Team Sky board, felt the need to issue a statement on Monday, insisting that "with all the noise... I can assure you of Sky's full and continued support".
"There is no equivocation on our part," he added.
Started in 2010, Team Sky's aim was to win the Tour de France with a British rider. Despite a frustrating debut season, remarkably that has now been achieved four times in the past five years.
However, having pledged from the very beginning to prove that winning clean was possible, never before has Team Sky's reputation and credibility been on the line like it is now.
Brailsford has faced tricky questions before of course; about whether he made promises it was always going to be impossible to keep, if Sky was naive in proclaiming a 'zero-tolerance' policy on doping, their judgement in hiring riders and support staff who later turned out to have been involved with performance-enhancing drugs in the past, about the release of Chris Froome's power data and about declining to join the MPCC (Movement for Clean Cycling), a group of teams committed to not using corticosteroids.
But nothing compared to the current crisis.
This has been a tumultuous few months for the sport.
In April, British Cycling had to investigate claims high-performance equipment had ended up on unofficial websites. Technical director Shane Sutton resigned after allegations of sexism and bullying towards track rider Jess Varnish and Para-cyclists. He denied the claims, but another investigation - into the culture at the national cycling centre - was launched.
British rider Simon Yates was then revealed to have tested positive for an anti-asthma drug. His Orica-GreenEdge team took "full responsibility for the mistake" and insisted there was "no wrongdoing" on Yates' part, but he was given a four-month ban in June.
And, on the eve of the Olympics, it was revealed Lizzie Deignan - formerly Armitstead - had narrowly avoided being banned after missing three doping tests in under a year, which would violate Wada's code. She won an appeal and one of the missed tests was declared void.
None of that prevented another big medal haul at Rio 2016, the six golds and 12 medals justifying the £30m of public investment it has received from UK Sport over the past four years.
Brailsford swiftly hit back at the rivals and conspiracy theorists who questioned Team GB's ability to peak when it mattered and their continued dominance in the velodrome.
But since then, dismissing the doubters has only become harder.


This article describes how to setup a Group Policy for network users. The group policy will run a script file when the computer is rebooted or a user logs on which will install the new Enterprise Instant Messenger client.
Updated for Server 2016:
- Create a file share that can be accessed by all workstations
- Create a .bat file containing the following:
IF EXIST "C:\Program Files (x86)\Passageways\Enterprise Instant Messenger\Client\pweimclient.exe" goto _End
msiexec /i "\\web\deploy\pweimclient.msi" EIM_INPUT_PORTALURL="http://davidw3" /passive
- NOTE! In your .bat file
- Change http://davidw3 to the address of your portal
- Change \\web\deploy\ to the path of the file share you created in step 1
- Save your .bat file in the file share you created in step 1
- In my example I will name it logon.bat
- Save pweimclient.msi in the file share you created in step 1
- You can find pweimclient.msi in
\inetpub\wwwroot\your portal name\Modules\InstantMessenger
- Open group policy
- Right click Group Policy Objects
- Select New
- Name your new Policy
- In my example I will name it EIM Deploy
- Right click your new policy
- Select Edit
- Under Computer Configuration expand Policies
- Expand Windows Settings
- Select Scripts
- Open Startup
- Click Add
- Click Browse
- Find your share you created in step 1 and select your .bat file
- In my example below, I selected logon.bat
- Assign Your new policy to whatever Organization Group (OU) you would like to deploy EIM to
This deployment will deploy whenever the computer is rebooted and only if the program isn’t installed. If you would like it to deploy when a user logs in, you would choose “User Configuration” in step 6.6 instead of “Computer Configuration”. We have found that Computer Configuration is more consistent.
Configuring the Batch
- Browse out to C: \Program Files\Passageways\Enterprise Instant Messenger\
- Copy Logon.bat and pweimclient.msi to a shared drive.
- Right click on Logon.bat select Edit. (Edit everything in Bold)
- msiexec /i "\\file server\mysharedfolder\pweimclient_184.108.40.206.msi" INSTALLLOCATION="%PROGRAMFILES%\Passageways\Enterprise Instant Messenger" ALLUSERS="" EIM_INPUT_PORTALURL="http://PortalURL" /qn
Setting a Group Policy
- Go the Start menu, Programs then Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
- In the console tree, right-click the domain or organizational unit for which you want to set the Group Policy.
- Click Properties, and then click the Group Policy tab.
- Click New and name the new group policy EIMClientDeployment.
- Select the EIMClientDeployment group policy that you just created and Click Edit.
- In the Navigation Tree select Computer Configuration or User Configuration, open Software Settings.
Computer Configuration: Requires each computer on the network to be rebooted for the group policy to take place.
User Configuration: Requires the user to sign on to the computer for the group policy to take place.
- Right-click the Software Installation node, and then click Properties.
- In the Software Installation Properties dialog box, click the General tab, and then browse to the location of Login.bat. Select the Login.bat.
- In the New Packages section, select Publish.
- NOTE: This specifies that when you add the MSI, by default you want it published with standard package properties.
- In the Installation User Interface Options group box and select Basic.
- Click OK
NOTE: The end result is that when the computer is rebooted or when a user logs off, then logs back in, the new Enterprise Instant Messenger will be installed in the background without the user knowing. The Group Policy will run every time a computer is rebooted or when a user signs in until the group policy is removed.

The 5 Worst Misconceptions About Millennial Professionals
Lately it seems as though Millennial professionals have become everyone’s favorite topic of discussion. You can’t read an article, watch a news segment or attend an industry conference without being bombarded with thoughts and opinions on Gen Y. What they think, how they behave and what they do in the workplace has suddenly become a hot subject—and for good reason. By 2020, Millennials will compose half of the global workforce.
Understanding Millennials is critical to preparing your business for the future, but believing generalizations and popular misconceptions can be damaging. Today, we’re going to clear up a few.
1. Misconception: Millennials aren’t loyal to their companies.
Truth: You’ve probably heard Millennials like to job hop, they demonstrate little to no allegiance to their organization and they’re always looking for something shiny and new. But while Millennials might be making a lot of job changes now, they aren’t the only ones. Median wages have either plateaued or declined in most sectors and often the only way professionals can advance in their careers and earn more is by moving companies. Moreover, Millennials are actually job hopping less than previous generations.
2. Misconception: All Millennials care about are job perks.
Truth: Whether you’re 25 or 55, if you’re choosing between an opportunity that offers unlimited vacation, an on-site gym and a daily lunch buffet versus one that doesn’t, we’re pretty sure you’re going to opt for the former. That’s just common sense. Millennials care about perks because they’re seeking work-life harmony—but highly effective Millennial professionals also care about core values, opportunity for advancement and a company mission that aligns with their personal objectives.
3. Misconception: Millennials have no work ethic.
Truth: There’s no denying a poor work ethic exists in a certain percentage of the Millennial population (just as there are baby boomers and Gen-Xers who exhibit poor dedication at work). But many Millennials reject the old way of work simply because they know there is an easier way. This generation is fighting to make the concept of “work smarter, not harder” a reality through workplace technology and automation. Because if you can do just as much in 25 hours as you can in 40, why not?
4. Misconception: Millennials don’t follow business etiquette.
Truth: What does a Millennial look like? If the stereotype is to be believed, all Millennials are sporting sweatpants, hoodies and unwashed hair while slumped over a desk covered in Cheeto dust. (And we’re sure this might be true in some cases.) But there is a larger subset of Millennials who reject traditional business etiquette because it’s simply not the way they work most efficiently. Trading out a suit and tie for jeans doesn’t change an employee’s level of competence or professionalism.
5. Misconception: Millennials don’t respect authority.
Truth: If it seems like Millennials challenge authority, it’s because they do — but what generation hasn’t challenged the mores and beliefs of its superiors? Millennials were raised in a time of vast information and a greater demand for transparency. This generation doesn’t take anything at face value. And after a childhood and young adulthood marked by war, economic turmoil and unprecedented amounts of student debt, can you really blame them?
While not all generalizations about Millennials are false, these five sweeping misconceptions can be dangerous for businesses leaders looking to secure a bright future for their organization. Taking time to understand Millennials instead of making snap judgments will benefit you, strengthen employee satisfaction and improve your bottom line.
