I love riding and walking by canals and rivers, Not only is there the whole water thing going on, but life somehow seems calmer. The natural environment and ecosystems around these watery routes have so much to offer. It was perfectly natural therefore, that when I visited the Richmond Championship Dog Show at the beginning of September, I should choose to cycle home along the River Wey Navigation and River Thames.
Just in case you are wondering, a navigation is a river or other natural water feature that has been developed so that it can be navigable by boat or barge. They differs from canals, which are man made rather than the adaption of a natural water course.
Opened in 1653, the Wey is the second oldest navigation in the UK. This was a full century before the commencement of what is sometimes called the canal age, and three years before the Great Fire of London. Following that conflagration the Wey Navigation played a major role in the rebuilding of the city. It became the main supply route for building timber from the forests of Surrey and Hampshire, and also for chalk and Guildford stone.
Since 1964 it has been owned and managed by the National Trust. This has meant that much of the character has remained.
Leaving Losely Hall, site of the show, I headed for Guildford and was able join the Wey Navigation at the point, about a mile short of the town centre, where it is crossed by the North Downs way. Accessing it by means of Ferry Lane gives an indication of the past, although there is now a foot bridge for the pilgrims and others on the trail to Canterbury.
I have never taken the time to try and understood the Victorian fixation with faux grottos – but there is one where a freshwater spring comes out of the ground at the end of Ferry Lane; where this view of the Wey is also found.
A few yards on, and the outskirts of Guildford centre can be seen on the hillside across the water meadows. There are sluices in the side of the navigation that can be opened to release water onto these meadows. Originally, they were developed with channels and drains so that as they flooded the water and nutrient rich silt would flood evenly across them.
After a dry winter, water meadows would be deliberately flooded to help the ground warm in the spring and promote plant growth. Traditionally they would be used to produce hay and not grazed until after Lammas. This also promoted the growth of wild flowers and other plants that made up the water meadow ecosystems. Sadly, the drive for productivity in the second half of the 20th Century resulted in a large numbers of these meadows being drained and ‘improved’.
As a teenager I loved cutting grass for hay on nearby water meadows. They had not been ploughed in living memory, if ever, and the sward was full of wildflowers, herbs and vetches. The smell of that hay was always fantastic and in the middle of winter would still smell of summer. If you are interested in conserving or restoring water meadows, visit the Floodplain Meadow Partnership website
These meadows by the Wey were part of the estate of Shalford House. This was demolished in 1968, thereby sharing the fate that befell so many country houses in the 1950s and 60s. When these houses were built the land around them would be landscaped and often planted with exotic or unusual, for that location, species of tree. Half a century or more after the buildings disapeared, it is those trees, or those seeded from them, that survive as a testament of what has happened within that landscape.
All this, and we are still at the bottom of Ferry Lane. The ride into Guildford along the South Wey Path took just a few minutes on a good surface and I was soon at Millmead Lock set in a sort of riverside park complete with attractive footbridges over weirs and spillways.
At Millmead lock the attractive features of the navigation are overshadowed by more modern structures that seem to have been erected with little consideration of the environment in which they sit. A few yards further along there is a repeat of this with Town Mill which is dominated by a modernist building that houses a department store, beyond which lies Town Bridge.
Beyond the Town Bridge, across the river from the path I was riding on, was the town wharf. A wooden goods shed, gibbet crane and sculpture of a bargee or a wharfinger may have been a representation of times past, but did nothing to hide the mass of concrete.
Unfortunately I was not able to tarry and explore Guildford properly – that will have to wait for another visit. Moving along the riverside path there was little of note with the buildings being mostly commercial and either modern, or restored older properties but with little of the original left to commend them. To be fair though this did appear to be the commercial and industrial part of town. An exception to this was the old electricity works which has been converted into a music and events venue.
A few minutes riding and the path passes opposite Dapdune Wharf which can be accessed by means of an overbridge. When I was walking this section of the Wey on another occasion I discovered that the café and toilets can be used without having to pay to enter the wharf itself, which is the National Trust’s visitor centre for the Navigation. It has at times been a boat, or barge, building yard as well as a commercial wharf.
Past the footbridge are a few sculptures, presumably to soften the impact of the adjacent industrial estate and steel fencing. This particular work represents a grain of pollen. Others were stainless steel outlines of fish atop of rusting poles, and chairs cut from tree trunks and set amongst some new tree planting. Guildford Public Art webpage gives more details.
This was where I also gained my only glimpse of Guildford Cathedral, part framed by that 8ft high fencing.
Continuing-on brought an encounter with the A3 and I was soon at Stoke Mill which is where Guildford is left behind and the proper country section of the ride begins.
The rest of the Journey will have to wait for another day. If you are interested in exploring the Wey Navigation, then some walking information is available on the National Trust website. You may like to buy this book by one of this country’s more accomplished walkers – John Merrill. It is available from the author’s website and some book retailers.


It looks like the Katy Perry and Russell Brand romance might not be dead after all. According to a report, the purple-haired singer is interested in winning back the affections of her estranged husband. "Katy's been trying to get him back," said a friend of Perry's to US Weekly. The couple wed in India in 2010 and her recent trip there might have been responsible for the apparent change of heart. Will the couple reunite? It's anyone's guess because another friend of the "Firework" singer says that the two aren't likely to take another shot at romance. "Right now, Katy and Russell are trying to get to the point where they can at least be friends," says the other source. If the two decide to give it another go they would be joining some other famous couples that reconciled after a split. Here is a look at some of those relationships that Katy might look to for inspiration.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green
The "Transformers" star began dating the "Beverly Hills 90210" alum when she was just 18 years old. The couple got engaged in 2006 but announced a surprising split in early 2009. By the following summer they were not only engaged again but ended up getting hitched in a secret Hawaii ceremony. It seems that the two stars were just meant to be with one another. "I truly feel like he's my soul mate," said the stunning actress of her husband in 2012. "I don't want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together."
Pink and Carey Hart
The popular singer married the extreme sports star in 2006 but their romance seemingly hit the skids when they separated in 2008. After nearly a year apart, the two began the process of reconciliation. 'We're rebuilding," said the X Games athlete. "Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward." Since getting back together, things have gone pretty well for the couple. They welcomed their first child in 2011 and celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in January.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
The two-time Oscar winning actress was also a two-time bride of actor Richard Burton. Their first marriage lasted from 1964 to 1974 and was the longest of her eight marriages. After divorcing, the couple reconciled in 1975 and had a much shorter second marriage before calling it quits again. Had the actor not died in 1984, there might have been hope for a third union between the two screen legends. "I was still madly in love with him until the day he died," said the actress of her most famous lover.

Description - The Summer Fletcher Greel Loved Me by Suzanne Kingsbury
Four young people come of age in small-town Mississippi where racial tension lies just below the surface - as does an unknown body in a shallow grave. Fletcher Greel, the Judge's son, is home for the summer; he falls instantly for beautiful Haley who has broken the heart of every boy in town. Fletcher's oldest friend Riley has fallen for a black girl called Crystal. Intoxicated by blues and whiskey and the new-found freedoms of late adolescence, the four of them are bold and rash and in love. But they live in a place where old attitudes die hard. As the summer wanes, disapproval of Riley and Crystal's romance takes a hateful and violent turn, and Haley's secrets surface with frightening results. Rich with unforgettable characters and smouldering sexual tension, The Summer Fletcher Greel Loved Me captures all the intensity and exhilaration of young love and rebellion.

UK Kirkus Review »
Set in Houser Banks, a fictional town in contemporary Mississippi, during a hot, steamy Deep South summer, this book is a wistful and haunting tale of first love and loss of innocence. Local heartbreaker 16-year-old Hayley Ellyson stumbles on her father's friend Bo with the body of an armless black man in her house. Bo makes Hayley into a conspirator, forcing her to help him bury the man and using the power of their secret to engage in a sexual relationship with her. The meat of the book concerns itself with Hayley, her wild friend Riley and Riley's black girlfriend, Crystal. The Fletcher Greel of the title is the judge's son, a sensitive and responsible young man who falls in love with Hayley and becomes enmeshed in the passion and angst of a summer long affair. Hayley recognizes Fletcher's innocence and loves him for it, while at the same time continuing her sordid relationship with Bo. But Hayley's secret is a grim shadow hanging over them all as they go to blues parties, get drunk and swim in the river. Riley and Crystal have to hide their relationship, and when they decide to make it public the racist elements of their society emerge with destructive results. The shallow grave of the black man is a metaphor for the racism which still exists in the Deep South, the stench of the crime infecting the entire story with a sense of inevitable nemesis. This is an atmospheric and lyrical first novel. Perhaps the denouement tarries a little and is a bit of an anti-climax when it occurs, but the writing has plenty of sincerity to carry it off.

Any news of a new EU Sync2 Language update. I have an F6 EU map card, but accidentally updated the Sync2 with the 3.10 US update. What the map shows is perfect. But the US lady’s voice announces ridiculous distances. It looks like there is a conflict between the EU map card and the US Sync2 update.
Can anyone give an idea when the next EU Sync2 Language update will be released, (following the previous 3.10 version).

Titanic Gods of Tamil Nadu, India: A Comparative Mythology of Stories on Indian and Greek Gods (Paperback)
The Greeks introduced the Titans to the world. Yet, there never was (or is) a temple for the Titanic Gods in Greece. Surprising isn't it? At the same time, the readers will find more than one temple for most of the Titans in Tamil Nadu. The author takes the readers into a journey of the world of Titans in a strange land. Is not this perplexing? A shocking revelation is the Greek Olympians forming a core of divinity in Tamil Nadu. No explanation is provided for this by the author, though.The genealogy of Gods in Tamil Nadu (evidently drawn from the Greek Texts) provides a solid relationship between the seemingly unrelated Gods In India. Sometimes, a female Greek Goddess is transformed into a male Hindu God. A genealogy of Asuras is also provided to scientifically explain some of the events in the Puranas. This lead the author, a known Euhemerist, to deviate a little from the original texts of Puranas wherever it was necessary. The author, a devout Hindu, firmly believes the Epics and Puranas of Hinduism are very real.A special care has been taken to explain the nature of the birth and worship of Ganesha and Murugan in Tamil Nadu. It is thought the readers are in for a shock or two while reading the stories. And also, a real suspense hangs in the balance regarding the stories of ancient Tamil Sangams, the Sptarishis, the Chera, Chola, Pandiya dynasties of Tamil Nadu.For the author, it was a wonderful experience and a great pleasure to write about the Gods and their age old temples in Tamil Nadu.


Lowest of the low, a despicable Covid-19 social carer stole from vulnerable victims after landing a trial doing a job she was banned from after previous allegations of theft.
Rumana Khatun had been barred from care work for life after claims she had stolen £500 at two places of employment.
Although she was never convicted of offences in relation to those allegations, the Disclosure and Barring Service banned her from care work indefinitely in April 2019.
Despite the ban, which she could have applied to have lifted after five years, Khatun was taken on by Comfort Call during the pandemic, as a Covid-19 social carer, on a trial basis, in June.
A judge has told Khatun she "targeted the most vulnerable in society at a particularly difficult time for the entire country" and sent her to prison.
At Newcastle Crown Court, Judge Robert Adams sentenced her to six months behind bars and said: "This was despicable."
Judge Adams added: "You say you were falsely accused of stealing earlier, which led to the DBS barring.
"Strangely, that order was put in place to prevent precisely what, in the end, happened."
The judge told her: "You must have been aware their needs were as great as yours, if not greater, nonetheless, you stole from them.
"It must have been obvious to you how vulnerable they were.
"You targeted the most vulnerable in society at a particularly difficult time for the entire country.
"These are mean offences."
Judge Adams said Khatun would likely be capable of rehabilitation in the community but he added: "I have to take into account the public interest, the protection of those who are vulnerable in society from being targeted by
people like you."
Prosecutor Claire Anderson told the court Khatun worked at Campbell Court between June 6 and 8.
Miss Anderson said: "During that time she stole money from three of the residents."
The court heard Khatun carried out the thefts while the experienced carers she was shadowing were distracted by caring for their clients.
The police were drafted in when the residents reported a total loss of £480.
Miss Anderson said police confronted Khatun at her home and added: "Officers found a receipt for a deposit of £480 cash into the defendant's TSB account."
Khatun admitted she took the cash because she was "desperate for money and had no food, gas or electric".
The court heard the residents who had their cash taken said they have always trusted and relied on their carers and have been left hurt and upset by what happened.
One victim said they felt they were an "easy target" and added: "If they needed money all they had to do was ask and I would have given them it."
Khatun, of Penrith Road, Hebburn, admitted engaging in regulated activity from which she was barred and three offences of theft.
Robin Turton, defending, said Khatun had a deeply troubled childhood and left school without qualifications but he added: "Most members of the public, I recognise, would recoil at the prospect of vulnerable members of the community being stolen from in such circumstances."
Mr Turton said Khatun had qualifications to work as a carer but nothing else and added: "It was the only job she could do. It was a lack of options rather than a plan to prey on the vulnerable that was her motivation."

Every Easter, Sour Patch Kids Jelly Beans appear on shelves to make the festivity even sweeter. These chewy sour candies are sure to be an exciting addition to your Easter basket. For years, we’ve been stuffing our baskets with chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, chocolate bites, chocolate candies, and everything chocolate. And it’s about time we add something new, right? Now how about something sour and sweet for a change?
If we’re talking about the yummiest sour-to-sweet kind of candy then Sour Patch Kids is always in the discussion. This iconic gummy candy is coated in invert sugar and sour sugar made with tartaric acid and citric acid. Hence, the coating gives a strong sour flavor that could make you pucker. After the sour part, you get to the chewy candy under the coating that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. So, you’ll get to experience two tastes in just one candy.
Sour Patch Kids Jelly Beans
Sure, we love the original Sour Patch Kids candies. But it’s great to see them having a makeover suited for particular occasion. And if there’s another thing we’re looking forward for Easter aside from the Easter Bunny, it’s these Jelly Beans.
These tiny jelly bean-shaped gummy candies are also coated in sour sugar that will surely put your taste buds into frenzy. But when you get to the chewy candy, everything becomes a sweet, heavenly experience. The Jelly Beans come in 5 flavors – orange, redberry, blue raspberry, lime and lemon. If you’re wondering what a redberry is, we’re going to make an assumption that it’s a blend of strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant. Nonetheless, the red-colored gummy candy tastes delicious and fruity, much like the brand’s classic strawberry-flavored candy.
The colorful chewy candies come in a 13 oz pack which could make a great candy filler for Easter egg gifts and baskets. You can find these Jelly Beans in any Target stores near you. Add a new taste of excitement to your Easter festivity by grabbing a pack or two of these sour-to-sweet goodies. And don’t forget to share the love with the whole family.

(This document is to be considered as copyrighted material)
My proposition, or thesis, is an argument in opposition with the practice of “pleading” the blood of Jesus the Christ. I have reason to believe, and I shall prove in this document that it is an unscriptural and dangerous doctrine.
The term blood is used 101 times in 93 verses in the Authorized King James Version of the New Testament. Of those 101 times, it refers to the Blood of Jesus 35 times. In the following scriptures, the term blood is used 9 of those 35 times. The context of these scriptures is the partaking of the communion of the symbolic blood of Christ,its purpose is the remembrance by the Church of God’s redemptive work on the cross through Jesus Christ.
1. Matthew 26:26-28
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Remission of sins of many – whole world- )
2. Mark 14:23-24
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
(New Testament established )
3. Luke 22:19-20
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
(Sealing of the New Testament )
4. John 6:53-58
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
(Believers true life in Christ)
5. 1Corinthians 10:15-16
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
(Celebration of fellowship of partakers )
6. 1Corinthians 11:25-29
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. 27Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
(New Testament established )
The following 22 New Testament mentions of the Blood of Christ are provided here so the reader might more easily avail themselves of the Holy Scriptures that describe in detail the purpose of that blood and the sole proprietor of it. A summation of the in text declared purpose of the blood is included as a parenthetical entry after each scripture.
God’s purpose for the blood:
1. John 19:33-35
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
(Eye witness account of the shedding of Jesus’ blood by the Apostle John)
2. Acts 20:26-28
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
(The purchase of The Church)
3. Romans 3:23-27
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
(Justified, righteousness, redemption by the blood, remission of sin for those who believe by faith)
4. Romans 5:8-10
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
(Justified, saved from God’s wrath, reconciled to God, saved from God’s wrath)
5. Ephesians 1:6-8
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
(Accepted, redeemed, forgiveness of sins)
6. Ephesians 2:13-16
But now in Christ Jesus the blood of Christ makes you who sometimes were far off nigh. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
(Brought close to God, reconciled)
7. Colossians 1:12-14 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(Brought into the inheritance of the saints, delivered, redeemed)
8. Colossians 1:20-22
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
(Reconciled onto Christ, made holy, no longer enemies)
9. Hebrews 9:11-14
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(Eternal redemption, sanctified, purged our conscience)
10. Hebrews 10:12-20
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
(Perfected, sanctified, remission of sin and iniquities)
11. Hebrews 10:28-29
He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
12. Hebrews 12:23-25
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
(Made perfect, sprinkled with the Blood)
13. Hebrews 13:9-12
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
14. Hebrews 13:20-21
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
(Perfected to do His will)
15. 1Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
(Sanctification of the Spirit)
16. 1Peter 1:18-20
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
(Redeemed from sins by the blood of Christ)
17. 1John 1:6-8
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. An example of this If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(Cleansed from all sin)
18. 1John 5:5-8
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
(Six witnesses that Jesus overcame the world)
19. Revelation 1:4-5
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood
(Washed from our own sins)
20. Revelation 5:6-9
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
(Saints redeemed to God)
21. Revelation 7:13-14
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
(Believer’s robes washed white)
22. Revelation 12:10-11
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
(Overcoming the accuser)
The works that the shed blood of Jesus accomplished toward mankind are cited in the above listed scriptures. These scriptures teach us that the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God come in the flesh and that He died for our sins is:
Cleansed Forgiven Inheritance Justified Overcomes Purchased Purged Reconciled Redeemed Remission Righteousness
Sanctified Saved Washed
Only in two scriptures does the blood of Christ refer to Jesus Himself. Luke 22:43-44
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
(In fervent agonizing prayer)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
(Jesus wearing His own blood)
It is indisputable from scripture itself that one that would endeavor to plead the blood of Jesus the Christ for protection is operating in doctrinal error. If protection from danger or evil is obtained through the blood, why then did all the 12 original Apostles, save John, suffer martyrdom? Did eleven of the twelve commit blasphemy or some other unforgivable sin that excluded them from the “blood” covering? Were these Apostles ignorant of the purpose of the shed blood of Christ? Even John suffered in prison.
James the son of Zebedee was run through with a lance while he knelt in prayer in 44 AD. Phillip was martyred in 54 AD by scourging and crucifixion. Andrew was crucified in Greece in 60 AD. Matthew was killed by the sword in Parthia in 60 AD. James the brother of Jesus was dragged to the top of the temple by an angry mob and thrown off. He lived through the fall so they beat him to death with clubs in 62 AD.
Matthias was stoned then beheaded in 64 AD. Bartholomew (Nathanael) was beaten with clubs then flayed alive with a knife in 68 AD. John Mark was dragged through the city streets and left to bleed to death overnight in 68 AD. Simon Peter the water-walker, was crucified upside down by Nero in 68 AD.
The Apostle Paul was beheaded in 68 AD by Nero. Luke was crucified in 69 AD in Greece. Jude was killed by the sword in 72 AD. Barnabus a disciple of Paul, was stoned to death in Salonica in 72 AD. Timothy was clubbed to death in 97 AD. John died a natural death in Ephesus in 98 AD.
The above information was taken from Fox’s Book of Martyrs.
What of the untold ten thousands who were tortured or killed throughout the history of the Church because of their faith in Christ? Did they somehow blaspheme and lose their blood covenant rights, or is it possible that the true purpose of the Blood of Christ is not to provide protection from evil in this world, but to reconcile sinful man unto God?
Jesus told us the purpose of His shed blood in the Gospel of Matthew. He declared to us that the purpose of the “Blood” was for the payment of our sins, the propitiation for our lives. He never said it was for our protection from danger or from evil.
Matthew 26:26-28 “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.“
Jesus Himself taught us that in this world we would have trouble. John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
The author of Hebrews teaches us that Jesus in like manner of Moses entered one time only (Heb 9:28) into the Holy place to offer His blood as propitiation-in-full for the Church. Jesus is the one who sprinkled His blood over the tabernacle and over the vessels of the ministry. Christ offered Himself once for the remission of the sins of many. Jesus never claimed His blood being shed would perform any accomplishment but that of providing a means of sinful man to be reconciled to a Holy God.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”
When the Apostle Paul taught the Church that the just shall live by faith, he did not teach them that they shall live by pleading the blood for any reason. That fact has been proven in this work to have been accomplished by Jesus Himself once and for all in Hebrews 9:12, “Nether by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”
Not once in any of these scriptures has the control, dominion, jurisdiction, assignment or administration of the Blood of Christ been taken or reassigned from God the Father or from Christ the Redeemer our High Priest unto any lower office of priesthood. Christians have never been taught or ever permitted to handle or sprinkle the blood of any other person, not even Jesus’ blood. The scriptures plainly determine the purpose of the blood of Jesus the Christ as the means of reconciling sinful man to a Holy God through the redemption of sins to reconcile sinful man to a righteous God and for no other purpose. Pleading the blood is not an Apostolic teaching or doctrine, it is biblically unfounded and therefore in error.
In Kenneth E. Hagin’s mini-book, God’s Medicine, he said on page eleven, “People can be right in their hearts and wrong in their heads. I don’t mean it wrongly, but I learned a long time ago that unless people are going to give you the Word of God on a subject, you can’t listen to what they say – even preachers. Good men sometimes give you natural advice which would cause you to miss it spiritually. God said ‘Incline thine ear unto MY sayings.’ If you’re going to listen to God sometimes you have to shut out other things.”
Kenneth Hagin Jr. said in his mini-book, Faith Worketh by Love on page three, “I, too, could take several Old Testament Scriptures, add some New Testament Scriptures, and’prove’ that it is right to do just about anything. But that doesn’t make it right! I can create any doctrine I want by pulling Scriptures out of context – but I can’t prove this so-called doctrine if I take the preceding and following verses in context. Part of the love walk is being able to stand up and preach with a truth what God’s Word says, not some doctrine created from isolated Scriptures.”
Throughout the history of the Church, doctrinal errors have emerged in many forms. Though well meaning, as many were, it is evident from history itself that correction has time and again been brought into the Church by the Holy Spirit. Many doctrinal errors that were once heralded as truth are now looked on as false or heretical teachings. Truth, when the all flavoring is squeezed out, must still be truth or it was never truth to begin with. Pleading the blood has been proven to be all bullion and no beef.
The puprose of this document is to provide the reader scriptual evidence that the erronous practice of pleading the blood of Jesus is in error and therefore must be discontinued. Not only is this practice outside of scripture, it provides a means for the enemy of Christ to bring doubt to those who practice this error and to those on whom it is practiced when any calamity no matter how small may befall them.
The only expectation of this document is to offer an imploration of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
We must take our Christian teaching, our sound doctrine, from the Word of God itself and not from so-and-so even if they are on TV. If we stray from the truth into fables and fabricated falsehoods, we leave the door open to the devil to take us out of the will of God.
2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Drone racing is taking off in Los Angeles, reports the New York Times. Hobbyists have been organizing races for small quadcopters in warehouses throughout Southern California this year. Drone pilots fly their drones using a small camera, virtual reality headset, remote control and video-game-like reflexes. The newly formed International Drone Racing Association said it will organize a world drone racing championship in Hawaii next year, complete with a $100,000 purse.

The Florida chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a group which champions free market solutions, is backing a proposal to repeal the state government’s Sports Development Fund.
AFP’s Florida Chapter announced on Monday that it had sent letters to the members of the state Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee to support a proposal from state Sen. Tom Lee, R-Brandon, to squash the Sports Development Fund.
“The corporate welfare slush fund represents an unneeded and wasteful transfer of funds from taxpayers to professional sports team owners,” AFP noted on Monday, insisting it “believes that for the state to maintain a reputation of fiscal responsibility it must do away with policies that allow for harmful corporate welfare.”
Skylar Zander, AFP’s state director in Florida, weighed in on the support of Lee’s proposal.
“Corporate welfare puts sports teams ahead of Florida citizens,” said Zander on Monday. “We applaud Florida lawmakers for fighting to repeal the taxpayer funded slush fund known as the Sports Development Fund. We hope all lawmakers come together to eliminate cronyism and focus on the essential priorities of the state.”
AFL also noted that it will include votes on the bill in its annual Legislative Scorecard. The group has more than 160,000 supports across the Sunshine State.

What would it take for a return to the gold standard? Brien Lundin
It’s been 50 years since Richard Nixon decoupled gold from its price fix to the U.S. dollar, and now, monetary regimes need a return to a gold anchor more than ever in order to restore stability and credibility, said Brien Lundin, executive editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference.
Speaking to Michelle Makori, editor-in-chief of Kitco News, Lundin made the case that the U.S. dollar has, since the end of the Gold Standard in 1971, lost 85% of its value relative to the consumer price index, which he said may even be understating inflation, and that another dollar peg to gold may be what’s needed to prevent further devaluation.
Importantly, all fiat currencies will inevitably “lose creditability” with current monetary policies in place, Lundin said.
“At that point, the only way to really re-establish some credibility for currencies would be to attach it to something, gold being the logical choice at that point, and it doesn’t have to be a 100% backing, it could be some fractional backing,” he said. “Central banks and monetary regimes will have to be forced to reconnect to gold in some way.”
Eventually, the markets will pressure central banks to establish stability in currencies, Lundin noted, especially once more monetary easing cycles are repeated in the future.
“We’re going to go through more and more of these cycles and I think at some point the markets are going to throw up their hands and say, ‘this is ridiculous.’ Any currency issued by governments will be essentially worthless and [we need something] to anchor our currencies to, and I think gold will be the logical choice for a number of reasons,” he said.

i am dripping and draining
the vestiges of your words. i sluice the shadow of your fingertips
from my thighs and scrub at your lip-mark
where it shines, red as dawn, on my collarbone.
my body is the crime scene. my body is walking evidence of mummy issues,
and broken promises.
my body awakens, keening at the ache of my back after 90 minutes in the therapist’s chair.
my body creaks
and cracks and, like the gap between my childish teeth,
the space between who i was and i who i am meant to be is too small to be seen in a photograph; large enough, still, for me to be shy of it in public.
i carve myself a new body
out of the ashes of the old. this will be a house of steel and silk, blood frozen over the splinters of the past. it will be everything and you will not be there
to take a piece of my masterpiece for your collection of shattered people.

The Cleveland Browns are officially division leaders in the AFC North following their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. Their victory came on the strength of a solid performance from interim starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett and a bounce-back effort from the defense. This game got the Browns back on track early in their season, and if they can continue building on what they improved against Pittsburgh, they will be a formidable opponent as the year wears on.
Here are the snap counts from Cleveland’s win against the Steelers in Week 3:
*Snap counts via NFL Game Statistics and Information System
- Jedrick Willis was the only starting offensive lineman that did not play in every snap up front.
- Running back Nick Chubb split a fair amount of time with Kareem Hunt with just 13 more downs played.

Accessorize: A Remote-Control Primer
At one time, "changing the channel" meant walking over to the television and turning a knob. Now it means pressing a button or tapping a graphical icon on a touch-screen remote control.
The earliest remote controls were connected to the TV set by a wire. To overcome this unsightly inconvenience, Zenith Radio, in the 1950s, developed a wireless remote that used a beam of light to convey control signals. This technology was soon surpassed by a new wireless system that used ultrasonic sound waves.
Dr. Robert Adler, along with Eugene Polly, developed the "Space Command" ultrasonic remote control system for Zenith. It performed four simple functions: On/Off, Sound On/Sound Off, Channel Up and Channel Down by transmitting sounds at specific frequencies. When activated, it made a clicking noise, hence the nickname "clicker."

Evaluation of an antibody-ELISA using five crude antigen preparations for the diagnosis of Trypanosoma evansi infection in cattle
Reid, S.A., and Copeman, D.B. (2002) Evaluation of an antibody-ELISA using five crude antigen preparations for the diagnosis of Trypanosoma evansi infection in cattle. Veterinary Parasitology, 104 (1). pp. 79-84.

Attempts were made to improve the accuracy of an antibody-detection ELISA for the detection of Trypanosoma evansi infection in cattle by improving the method of preparation of the crude antigen used. An IgG-ELISA was performed with five different antigen preparations: crude soluble antigen, soluble and insoluble fractions of crude antigen treated with 0.1% formalin and whole formalin-fixed trypanosomes treated with either trypsin or 2-mercaptoethanol. An IgM-ELISA using crude soluble antigen was also performed. Each ELISA was evaluated using serum from 44 Indonesian cattle infected with T. evansi and 262 uninfected cattle from Australia. There was no significant difference between the sensitivity or specificity of the IgG-ELISA using each of the five antigens. The IgM-ELISA using a crude untreated lysate was significantly less sensitive (p<0.05) than the IgG-ELISA using the same antigen, trypsin-treated antigen or the 0.1% formalin-treated soluble antigen (68, 64 and 64%, respectively). These results show that these modifications to the method of producing crude antigens for the Ab-ELISA does not improve the accuracy of diagnosis of T. evansi infection in cattle.

Two of the most common problems our dogs face are boredom and poor dental health. Deer antlers help you solve both, and more.
Let’s take a look at the benefits of deer antlers for dogs, and address common concerns. We’ll also take a look at brands available in Australia, and where you can buy them.

The benefits of deer antlers for dogs
Deer antlers share many of the same benefits as goat horns in that they’re very durable, long lasting treats, with little to no odour. They’re a good alternative to bully sticks, which despite arguably being the better treat of the three, tend to gross people out.
The benefits of deer antlers for dogs can be summarised as below:
- Natural and unprocessed – Deer antlers aren’t preserved in any way, with no additives, which makes them a great animal-based natural treat for your dog.
- Long lasting – You may wonder why deer antlers cost so much as dog treats, but they’re long lasting treats which will keep your dog occupied for hours.
- Rich in nutrients – Deer antlers can provide your dog with essential nutrients. Particularly calcium and phosphorous which support your dog’s bone health.
- Antiallergenic – Many dogs react to popular brands of treat or dog food, which I find mostly to be caused by inappropriate ingredients and additives. Not the case with deer antlers, which should provide a safe hypoallergenic option for dogs who react to lots of other stuff.
- Low in calories – If you’re after a low calorie treat for your dog then deer antlers tick that box, but as an animal-product will be more digestible for your dog and less likely to cause any weight issues.
- No splintering – Deer antlers are less likely to splinter than some other types of bones or chews, reducing the risk of injury to your dog’s mouth or digestive tract.
- Suitable for all sizes of dog AND puppies – Deer antlers can come in a variety of sizes, but generally can be considered one size fits all so don’t worry too much if you can’t find a small one for your Westie.
- Odour-free – Compared to bully sticks, deer antlers (and goat horns) don’t have much of a smell. So if you’re put off by smelly treats, then deer antlers might be the better option.
- Mental stimulation – Our dogs are often left to their own devices for many hours, and you probably already know they tend to curl up and patiently wait for your attention. As a consequence, dogs can get bored, and boredom leads to restless, anxiety, and destructiveness. A tasty deer antler can keep your dog occupied for much of that time, offering all the benefits above as well!
Where can I buy deer antlers for dogs?
There are a few brands of deer antlers for dogs available in Australia, and all can be considered similar:
Are deer antlers suitable for puppies?
Deer antlers are generally safe for puppies, but there are a few important points to consider. I’m sure you know your dog and their eating habits already, but consider the following:
- Supervision is key! – Always supervise your puppy when they are chewing on a deer antler (or any type of dog chew for that matter). Puppies are more likely to chew aggressively, and there is a risk they could break off or swallow larger pieces. This may pose a choking hazard or lead to digestive issues, so be careful until you know your puppy can chew a deer antler responsibly.
- Monitor wear and tear – Regularly inspect the deer antler for signs of wear and tear. If it becomes small enough for your puppy to swallow or if it starts to splinter, it’s time to replace it with a new one.
- Feed from 3+ months – Some may offer their puppies a deer antler from a younger age, and generally this will be fine, but err on the side of caution and start feeding from a minimum of three months old. By this stage your puppy will have stronger teeth with some adult teeth coming through. Very young puppies may not have the jaw strength or dental development needed to safely chew on harder materials.
- Introduce gradually – Some puppies may not immediately take to deer antlers. Some may need time to adjust to the new chew. This can particularly be the case if they’ve been fed one brand of kibble until this point (never a good idea). Introduce the deer antler gradually and observe your puppy’s reaction to ensure they are comfortable with it.
- Always ask your veterinarian for advice – When you have a puppy you will visit your veterinarian for vaccines, early check-ups, or puppy school (recommended to get your pup used to the vets!). Take this opportunity to ask their advice. Our vets are always a good source of information and help us learn and becoming better pet parents, even if they tend to recommend grain-based kibbles for pet carnivores.
Final thoughts on deer antlers for dogs
Are deer antlers something you feed your dogs? What advice can you give other dog owners – what brands are good, what aren’t, and how often do you feed deer antlers to your dogs?

AceShowbiz - Princess Beatrice wore one of her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's old Sir Norman Hartnell gowns for her top secret quarantine wedding on Friday, July 17.
The young royal also borrowed the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, which The Queen wore on her wedding day in 1947, for the low-key nuptials, which had been postponed from earlier this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
She and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi tied the knot in a behind-closed-doors ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor, England.
Her father, Prince Andrew, walked her down the aisle.
Buckingham Palace officials released photos from the wedding day over the weekend, showing off Beatrice's vintage gown and tiara as she left the chapel with her new husband.
There was also a snap of the bride with The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman confirmed the news of Beatrice's marriage on Friday, revealing the ceremony had taken place in accordance with the U.K. government's social distancing guidelines.
A statement read, "The private wedding ceremony of Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi took place at 11am on Friday 17 July at The Royal Chapel of All Saints at Royal Lodge, Windsor. The small ceremony was attended by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and close family. The wedding took place in accordance with all relevant government guidelines."
The wedding was previously scheduled to take place on 29 May.
Beatrice, 31, and Edoardo, 37, the son of former British Olympic skier, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, announced their engagement in September (19).
