HALIFAX -- Whether it was going for their morning coffee or out running errands, many Nova Scotians wore a new accessory on Friday – a mask. That's because masks became mandatory at most indoor public spaces in the province on July 31.
"We need to now get in the habit; along with our wallet, our purse, our car keys – always have a mask," said Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang, during a press conference on Friday. "Whether it's keeping one in the car, at the door, wherever you keep those other things that you take every time you go outside the house."
Although there is some apprehension about mask-wearing, at restaurants such as Stubborn Goat, patrons' response, so far, has been positive.
"When you come to a restaurant – when you enter into any public place – as you're standing up and moving around, you should wear a mask because you are moving around," says Stubborn Goat co-owner, Joe McGuinness. "But when you sit down at your table, you can take your mask off, consume your food and beverage when you go out."
At the Gym
The gym experience has changed a lot since the pandemic hit.
At the GoodLife Fitness location on Spring Garden Road, greeters meet clients at the front door to ensure they have a mask.
"They'll be wearing their mask as they move in and out of the club, between parts of our club, between machines and certainly in the change rooms as well," says GoodLife Fitness divisional operations manager, John Marsh. "At this juncture, exercising or physically exerting yourself on a machine – as long as you're social distancing two meters – you're not required to wear that mask while exercising."
Getting in the Habit
As for why masks are being made mandatory when there are only two active cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia, Dr. Strang says health officials now have evidence that the general use of masks is effective in reducing the transmission of the virus.
Strang also says it's important to make masks a habit now.
"The reason that it's important to make masks mandatory now, even with few active cases, is part of being prepared for the likely occurrence of a second wave," said Strang. "It's not about the epidemiology today, it's about what's likely coming."
Individuals can be fined for not following public health rules; however, Strang says the province will not be taking a heavy-handed approach when it comes to masks.
"It's written in the public health order that people who are non-compliant and are shown to be non-compliant, they can be fined $1,000," said Strang. "But again, that's not our primary focus in this."
Children under two years of age are exempt, as well as children aged two to four – when their caregiver cannot get them to wear a mask. People with a valid medical reason for not wearing a mask are exempt.
Indoor public places where masks are mandatory include:
Retail businesses
Personal services businesses such as hair and nail salons, spas, body art facilities, except during services that require removing a mask
Restaurants and bars, except while people are eating or drinking
Places of worship or faith gatherings
Places for cultural or entertainment services or activities such as movie theatres, concerts and other performances
Places for sports and recreational activities such as a gym, pool or indoor tennis facility, except while doing an activity where a mask cannot be worn
Places for events such as conferences and receptions
Municipal or provincial government locations offering services to the public
Common areas of tourist accommodations such as lobbies, elevators and hallways
Common areas of office buildings such as lobbies, elevators and hallways, but not private offices
Public areas of a university or college campus, such as libraries or student union buildings, but not classrooms, labs, offices or residences
Train or bus stations, ferry terminals and airports
"We need to now get in the habit, along with our wallet, our purse, our car keys – always have a mask," said Nova Scotia's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang, during a press conference on Friday. "Whether it's keeping one in the car, at the door, wherever you keep those other things that you take every time you go outside the house."

"I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work." John 9:4.
IF this ninth chapter of John is intended to be a continuation of the history contained in the eighth, as we think it is,it brings before us a very extraordinary fact. You will observe in the eighth chapter that our Lord was about to be stonedby the Jews. He therefore withdrew Himself from the circle of His infuriated foes, and passed through the crowd, not, I think,in a hurried manner, but in a calm and dignified way-as one not at all disconcerted, but wholly self-possessed. His disciples,who had seen His danger, gathered round Him while He quietly retreated. The group wended their way with firm footsteps tillthey reached the outside of the Temple.
At the gate there sat a man well-known to have been blind from his birth. Our Savior was so little flurried by the dangerwhich had threatened Him that He paused and fixed His eyes upon the poor beggar, attentively surveying him. He stayed Hisonward progress to work the miracle of this man's healing. If it is so that the two chapters make up but one narrative, andI think it is, though we are not absolutely sure, then we have before us a most memorable instance of the marvelous calmnessof our Savior while under danger.
When the Jews took up stones to stone Him, He did not needlessly expose His life, but after He had withdrawn a very littlespace from the immediate danger He was struck by the sight of human misery and stood still awhile in all calmness of heartto do a deed or mercy. Oh, the Divine majesty of benevolence! How brave it makes a man! How it leads him to forget himselfand despise danger, and become so calm that He can coolly perform the work which is given him to do!
I think I see our Savior thus considerate for others, and unmindful of Himself. May I add that there is a lesson here to usnot only for imitation but for consolation! If He, while flying from His enemies, still stops to bless the blind, how muchmore will He bless us who seek His face now that He is exalted on High? Now that He is clothed with Divine power and Gloryat the right hand of the Father? There is nothing to hurry Him now, He is exposed to no danger now. Send up your prayers,breathe out your desires, and He will reply, "According to your faith, so be it unto you."
Reading this cure of the blind man, one is struck, again, with the difference between the disciples and the Master. The discipleslooked at this man, blind from his birth, as a great enigma, a strange phenomenon. And they began, like philosophers, to suggesttheories as to how it was consistent with Divine Justice that a man should be born blind. They saw that there must be a connectionbetween sin and suffering-but they could not trace the connection here. So they were all speculating upon the wonderful problembefore them, which they knew not how to solve.
This suggestively reminds us of theorists upon another difficulty which never has been explained yet, namely, the origin ofevil. They wanted to sail upon the boundless deep, and were anxious that their Master should pilot them. He had other andbetter work to do. Our Lord gave them an answer, but it was a short and curt one. He Himself was not looking at the blindman from their point of view. He was not considering how the man came to be blind, but how his eyes could be opened. He wasnot so much meditating upon the various metaphysical and moral difficulties which might arise out of the case, but upon whatwould be the best method to remove from the man his suffering, and deliver him from his piteous plight.
vine Providence, or our fellow men. It is ours not to speculate but to perform acts of mercy and love according to the tenorof the Gospel. Let us, then, be less inquisitive and more practical-less for cracking doctrinal nuts-and more for bringingforth the Bread of Life to the starving multitudes.
Once again, as a prefatory remark, our Lord tells us the right way of looking at sorrow and at sin. It was a dreadful thingto see a man shut out from the light of the sun from his very birth. But our Savior took a very encouraging view of it-Hisview of it was nothing at all desponding, nothing that could suggest complaining. It was most encouraging and stimulating.He explained the man's blindness thus-"Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be mademanifest in him."
The man's calamity was God's opportunity. His distress was an occasion for displaying Divine goodness, wisdom, and power.I see sin everywhere-in myself, in others, in this great city, in the nations of the earth-and very conspicuously sin andsuffering in this thrice accursed war. But what shall I say of it? Sit down and wring my hands in utter despair? If so, Ishall be incapable of service. No, if I would do good, as Jesus did, I must take His bravely hopeful view of things, and sokeep my heart whole, and my loins girt ready for work.
Is not that the best light in which to see the saddest things? Sin, somehow or other, desperate evil as it is, will be overruledto display God's goodness. Just as the goldsmith sets a foil around a sparkling diamond, even so the Lord has allowed moraland physical evil to come into this world to cause His infinite wisdom, Grace, power, and all His other attributes to be thebetter seen by the whole intelligent universe. Let us look at it in this light, and the next time we see suffering we shallsay, "Here is our opportunity of showing what the love of God can do for these sufferers."
The next time we witness abounding sin let us say, "Here is an opportunity for a great achievement of mercy." I suppose greatengineers have been very glad of Niagara, that they might span it. Very glad of the Mont Cenis that they might bore it. Veryglad of the Suez Isthmus that they might cut a canal through it-glad that there were difficulties that there might be roomfor engineering skill.
Were there no sin there had been no Savior. If no death, no Resurrection. If no Fall, no new Covenant. If no rebellious race,no Incarnation, no Calvary, no Ascension, no second advent. That is a grand way of looking at evil, and mar-velously stimulating.Though we do not know, and perhaps shall never know the deepest reason why an infinitely gracious God permitted sin and sufferingto enter the universe, yet we may at least encourage this practical thought-God will be glorified in the overcoming of eviland its consequences. Therefore let us gird up our loins in God's name for our part of the conflict.
Thus much by way of preface. Now I shall invite you, this morning, and may God assist you while I invite, to consider firstof all, the Master Worker. And, secondly, ourselves as workers under Him.
I. The text is a portrait Of THE GREAT MASTER WORKER. We will read it again-"I must work the works of Him that sent Me, whileit is day: the night comes, when no man can work." And first observe, this Master Worker takes His own share in the work-"/must work"-/, Jesus, the Son of Man, for two or three years working here on earth in public ministry, I, I must work.
There is a sense in which all Gospel work is Christ's. As the atoning Sacrifice, He treads the winepress alone. As the greatHead of the Church, all that is done is to be ascribed to Him. But only in the sense in which He used these words- speakingof His human nature, speaking of Himself as living among the sons of men-there was a portion of the work of relieving thisworld's woe, and scattering Gospel Truth among men that He must do, and nobody else could do. "I must work."
lows in this respect, yet is it true that all His saints are the light of the world, even as Jesus Christ, while in the worldwas the world's light.
There were some to be cured by Him who could not be cured by Peter, or James, or John. Some to have the Good News broughtto them who must not receive it from any lips but His own. Our Lord, when He became the Servant of servants, took His sharein the common labors of the elect brotherhood. How this ought to encourage us! It is enough for the general if he stands inthe place of observation and directs the battle. We do not usually expect that the commander shall take a personal share inthe work of the conflict.
But with Jesus it is not so! He fought in the ranks as a common soldier. While as God-Man, Mediator, He rules and governsall the economy of Grace, yet as partaker of our flesh and blood He once bore the burden and heat of the day. As the greatArchitect and Master Builder He supervises all. Yet there is a portion of His spiritual temple which He condescended to buildwith His own hands. Jesus Christ has seen actual service, and actually resisted unto blood, amid the dust and turmoil of thestrife.
This made Alexander's soldiers valiant, it is said, because if they were wearied by long marches Alexander did not ride, butmarched side by side with them. And if a river had to be crossed in the teeth of opposition, foremost amidst all the riskwas Alexander himself. Let this be our encouragement-Jesus Christ has taken a personal share in the evangelization of theworld. He has taken not only His own part as Head, and Prophet, and High Priest, and Apostle, in which He stands alone, butHe has taken His part among the common builders in the erection of the New Jerusalem. "I must work the work of Him that sentMe."
Note, next, that our Lord laid great stress upon the gracious work which was laid upon Him. "I must work the work of Him thatsent Me" "Whatever else is not done I must do that. The work allotted me of God, I must, as His servant, faithfully do. TheJews may be close at My heels, their stones may be ready to fall upon Me, but I must fulfill My lifework. I must open blindeyes, and spread the light around me. I can forget to eat bread, I can forget to find for Myself a shelter from the dews thatfall so heavily at night, but this work I must do."
Beyond all things the Redeemer felt a constraint upon Him to do His Father's will. "Know you not that I must be about My Father'sbusiness?" "The zeal of Your house has eaten Me up." Everything in life yielded in the Savior's case to His master passion.There were some works our Savior would not do. When one asked Him to speak to his brother to divide the inheritance, thoughthat might have been a useful thing, yet Christ did not feel a call to it, and he said, "Who made Me a judge and a dividerover you?"
But when it came to the work of giving light, that He must do. This was the specialty of His life. To this He bent all Hisstrength. He was like an arrow shot from a bow, speeding not towards two targets, but with undivided force hurrying towardsone single end. The unity of His purpose was never for a moment broken-no second object ever eclipsed the first. Certain worksof Grace, works of benevolence, works of light-giving, works of healing, works of saving-these He must do. He must do them,His own part of them He must perform.
He rightly describes this work as the "work of God." Note that. If ever there lived a man who as man might have taken a partof the honor of the work to himself, it was the Lord Jesus. And yet over and over again He says, "The Father that dwells inMe, He does the works." As Man He is particularly careful to set us the example of acknowledging constantly that if any workis done by us it is the work of God through us. And so, though He says, "I must work," notice the next words, "the works ofHim that sent Me." They are still my Father's works when most they are mine. Though I must work them, yet shall they stillbe ascribed to Him, and He shall derive honor from them. My Brethren, if I do not say much about this in respect to Christ,it is because it seems so much more easy to apply this to us than to Him, and if so easily applied, let it be humbly and practicallyremembered by us today. My Brother, if you shall win a soul by your work, it is God's work. If you shall instruct the ignorant,you do it, but it is God that does it by you if it is rightly done.
God must do it. But yet the clay and the spittle must be used, and Siloam's pool must be resorted to, or the light will neverenter the sightless eyes.
So in Grace, it is God's to illuminate the understanding by His Spirit. It is His to move the affections, His to influencethe will, His to convert the entire nature. It is His to sanctify, and His to save. Yet you, O Believer, are to work thismiracle-the Truths of God you shall spread will illuminate the intellect. The arguments you shall use will influence the affections.The reasons you shall give will move the will, the precious Gospel you shall teach will purify the heart. But it is God whodoes it-God indwelling in the Gospel.
See you to this, for only as you see these two Truths of God will you go to your work aright. I must work personally, andthis holy work must be my special business, but I must do it in a right spirit, humbly feeling all the while that it is God'swork in and through me. Our Lord, in this portrait of Himself, as the Master Worker, is clearly seen as owning His true position.He says, "I must work the work of Him that sent Me." He had not come forth from the Father on His own account. He was nothere as a principal, but as a subordinate, as an ambassador sent by His King. His own witness was, "I can of My own self donothing: as I hear I judge: and My judgment is just because I seek not My own will, but the will of the Father which has sentMe."
He often reminded His hearers in His preaching that He was speaking in His Father's name, and not in His own name. As, forinstance, when He said, "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself." He took upon Himself the form of a servant."The Spirit of the Lord," says He, "is upon Me. For He has anointed Me." God gave Him a commission and gave Him the Graceto carry out that commission-and He was not ashamed to confess His condition of service to the Father.
Though in His Divine Nature, God over all, blessed forever, whose praises ten thousand times ten thousand harpers are rejoicedto sound upon that glassy sea, yet as the Mediator He stooped to be sent-sent a commissioned Agent from God, a Servant todo Jehovah's bidding. Because He was such, it behooved Him, as a Servant, to be faithful to Him that sent Him. And Jesus feltthis as a part of the Divine constraint, which impelled Him to say, "I must work." "I am a sent Man. I have to give an accountto Him that sent Me."
O Brothers and Sisters, I wish we all felt this! For as the Father sent Christ, even so has Christ sent us-and we are actingunder Divine authority as Divine representatives, and must, if we would give our account with joy, be faithful to the communionwith which God has honored us by putting us in trust with the Gospel of Christ. No man shall serve God aright if he thinkshe stands upon an independent footing. It is recognizing your true position that will help to drive you onward in incessantdiligence in the cause of your God.
But, dwelling very briefly on each of these points, I must remind you that our Lord did not regard Himself merely as an official,but He threw a hearty earnestness into the work He undertook. I see indomitable zeal glowing like a subdued flame in the verycenter of the live coal of the text. "I must work the work of Him that sent Me." Not, "I will," "I intend," "I ought," but"I must." Though sent, yet the commission was so congenial to His Nature that He worked with all the alacrity of a volunteer.
He was commissioned, but His own will was His main compulsion. Not of constraint, but willingly the Lord Jesus became a Savior.He could not help it. It was within His very Nature a sacred necessity that He must be doing good. Was He not God, and isnot God the fountain of benevolence? Does not Deity, perpetually like the sun, send forth beams to gladden His creatures?Jesus Christ, the God Incarnate, by irresistible instinct must be found bestowing good. Besides, He was so tender, so compassionate,that He must be blessing those that sorrowed.
He felt for that blind man. If the blind man lamented his darkness, yet not more than the Savior lamented it for the poorsufferer's sake. The eyes which Christ fixed on that man were eyes brimming with tears of pity. He felt the miseries of humanity.He was not flinty-hearted, but tender, and full of compassion towards all suffering sons of men. Our Savior, therefore, wasself-impelled to His gracious labors. His love propelled Him. He must do the work that He was sent to work.
cheerfully and joyously as if there had been no impetus but His own voluntary wish. He cries in gracious enthusiasm, "I must,I must."
No man does a really good and great work till he feels he must. No man preaches well but he who must preach. The man sentof God must come under irresistible pressure, even like the Apostle of old, who said, "Though I preach the Gospel, I havenothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me, yes, woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." Or like the eloquentEliphaz in the book of Job, who spoke last but best-and only spoke at all because he felt like a vessel wanting vent.
Our Savior became so grand a Worker because within His spirit desire kindled and burned and flamed till His Nature was allaglow. He was like a volcano in full action which must pour forth its fiery flood, though in His case the lava was not thatwhich destroys, but that which blesses and makes rich!
Once again, another point in the Savior as a Worker-He clearly saw that there was a fitting time to work, and that this timewould have its end. In a certain sense Christ always works. For Zion's sake He does not rest, and for Jerusalem's sake Hedoes not hold His peace in His intercessions before the Eternal Throne. But, my Brethren, as a Man, preaching, and healing,and relieving the sick on earth, Jesus had His day, as every other man, and that day ended at the set time. He used a commonEastern Proverb which says that men can only work by day, and when the day is over it is too late to work.
And He meant that. He Himself had an earthly lifetime in which to labor, and when that was over He would no more perform thekind of labor He was then doing. He called His lifetime a day. To show us that He was impressed with the shortness of it.We, too, often reckon life as a matter of years, and we even think of the years as though they were of extreme length, thoughevery year seems to spin round more swiftly than before. And men who are growing gray will tell you that life seems to themto travel at a much faster rate than in their younger days.
To a child a year appears a lengthened period. To a man even ten years is but a short space of time. To God the Eternal athousand years are but as one day. Our Lord here sets us an example of estimating our time at a high rate on account of itsbrevity. It is but a day you have at the longest. That day, how short! Young man, is it your morning? Are you just converted?Is the dew of penitence still trembling upon the green blade? Have you just seen the first radiance which streams from theeyelids of the morning? Have you heard the joyous singing of birds?
Up with you, Man! And serve your God with the love of your espousals! Serve Him with all your heart! Or have you known yourLord now so long that it is noon with you, and the burden and heat of the day are on you? Use all diligence, make good speed,for your sun will soon decline. And have you long been a Christian? Then the shadows lengthen, and your sun is almost down.Quick with you, Man, let both your hands be used! Strain every nerve, put every sinew to the stretch. Do all at all times,and in all places, what your ingenuity can devise, or your zeal can suggest to you, for the night comes wherein no man canwork.
I love to think of the Master with these furious Jews behind Him, yet stopping because He must do the work of healing! BecauseHis day was still not ended. He cannot die, He feels, till His day is over. His time is not yet come, and if it were, He wouldclose His life by doing one more act of mercy. And so He stops to bless the wretched, and afterwards passes on His way. Beyou swift to do good at all times. "Be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord."
Knowing that the time is short, redeem the time, because the days are evil. Press much into little by continuous diligence.Glorify your God greatly while the short taper of your life burns on, and God accept you as He accepted His Son. Thus muchupon Christ, the Master Worker.
II. Now I shall want your earnestness while I try to speak of OURSELVES AS WORKERS UNDER HIM. Here I must go over much thesame ground, for first I must call to your remembrance that on us there rests personal obligation. Singular, distinct, personalobligation. "I must work." "I," "I must work the works of Him that sent me." We are in danger nowadays of losing ourselvesin societies and associations. We had need labor to maintain the personality of our consecration to Christ Jesus.
afraid our mode of doing Christian work is getting to be so mechanical, so much en masse, that there is barely room in ordinarycases for personal deeds of daring and singular acts of valor.
Yet, mark you, the success of the Church will lie in this last-it is in each man's feeling, "I have something to do for Christwhich an angel could not do for me, that the strength of a Church must lie under God. God has committed to me a certain workwhich, if it is not done by me, will never be done. A certain number of souls will enter Heaven through my agency. They willnever enter there in any other way. God has given His Son power over all flesh to give eternal life to as many as He has givenHim, and Christ has given me power over some part of the flesh. By my instrumentality they will get eternal life, and by noother agency. I have a work to do, and I must do it."
Dear Brothers and Sisters, our Church will be grandly equipped for service when you all have this impression, when there isno casting the work on the minister, nor on the more gifted Brethren, nor leaving all to be done by distinguished sisters.But when each one feels, "I have my work, and to my work I will dedicate my whole strength to do it in my Master's name."
Now observe, secondly, the personal obligation in the text compels us to just such work as Christ did. I explained to youwhat it was. We are not called meritoriously to save souls, for alone He is the Savior, but we are called to enlighten thesons of men. That is to say, sin is not known to be sin by many. Our teaching and example must make sin to appear sin to them.The way of salvation by the substitutionary Sacrifice of Christ is quite unknown to a large part of mankind. It is ours simplyand incessantly to be telling out that soul-saving story. This work must be done whatever we leave undone.
Some men are spending their time in making money, that is the main object of their lives. They would be as usefully employedprobably if they spent all their lives in collecting pins or cherrystones. Whether a man lives to accumulate gold coins orbrass nails, his life will be equally groveling and end in the same disappointment. Money-making, fame-making, and power-gettingare mere pieces of play, mere sports and games for children.
The work of Him that sent us is a far nobler thing. It is permanent gain if I gain a soul. It is lasting treasure if I winthe Lord's approval. I am forever richer if I give a man one better thought of God, if I bring to a darkened soul the lightfrom Heaven, or lead one erring heart to peace. If one spirit hastening downward to Hell is by my means directed to a blissfulHeaven, I have done some work worth doing.
And such work, Brethren, we must do, whatever else we leave undone. Let us make all else in this world subservient to thiswhich is our life work. We have our callings, we ought to have them-the man who will not work, neither let him eat. But ourearthly calling is not our lifework. We have a high calling of God in Christ Jesus, and this must have the preeminence. Pooror rich, healthy or sick, honored or disgraced, we must glorify God. This is a necessity. All else may be, this must be.
We resolve, sternly resolve, and desperately determine that we will not throw away our lives on trifling objects, but by usGod's work must and shall be done. Each man will do his own share, God helping him. May the ever blessed Holy Spirit giveus power and Grace to turn our resolves into acts. Let us not forget the Truth which I declared to you before, namely, thatit is God's work which we are called upon to do. Let us look to the text again. "I must work the work of Him that sent Me."
I can discover no greater motive for earnestness in all the world than this-that the work I have to do is God's work. Thereis Samson-the strength which lies in Samson is not his own-it is God's strength. Is that, therefore, a cause why Samson shouldlie still and be idle? No, but it is a mighty sound of a trumpet to stir the blood of the hero to fight for the people ofGod. If the strength of Samson is not the mere force of sinew and muscle, but force given him of the Almighty One, then upwith you, Samson, and smite the Philistines! Slay again your thousands!
What? Dare you sleep with God's Spirit upon you? Up, man! To sleep if you were but a common Israelite were treason to yourcountry, but when God is in you and with you, how can you be idle? No, put forth your strength and rout your foes! When Paulwas in Corinth, and God worked special miracles by his hands, so that handkerchiefs which were taken from his body healedthe sick, was that a reason why Paul should withdraw himself to some quiet retreat and do nothing?
should you say, "God will do His own work"? No, Man, but right and left, at all times and in all places, go and tell out thesoul-saving story, and God speed you! Because God works by you, therefore work!
A small vessel, lying idle in dock, without a freight, is a loss to its owner. But a great steamship, of many hundred horsepower,cannot be suffered to remain unemployed. The greater the power at command, the more urgently are we bound to use it. The indwellingpower of God is put forth in reply to faith and prayer-shall we not labor to obtain it? The fact that the Church's work isGod's work rather than hers is no cause why she should indulge in sloth. If she had only her own strength, she might wasteit with less of crime. But having God's strength about her, she dares not loiter.
God's message to her this morning is, "Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem,the holy city." Would God that this message might come to every heart so that all of us would arise, because God is in ourmidst.
Brethren, notice in the text our obligation resulting from our position. We are all sent as Jesus was if we are Believersin Christ. Let us feel our obligation pressing upon us. What would you think of an angel who was sent from the Throne of Godto bear a message and who lingered on the way or refused to go? It was midnight, and the message came to Gabriel and his fellowsongsters, "Go and sing over the plains of Bethlehem, where shepherds keep their flocks. Here is your sonnet, 'Glory to Godin the highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.' "
Could you conceive that they halted, that they wished to decline the task? Impossible with such music, and with such a commissiongiven from such a Lord! They sped joyously on their way. Your mission is not less honorable than that of the angels. You aresent to speak of good things which bring peace and good will to men, and glory to God. Will you loiter? Can you any longerbe dumb? No, as the Lord Jesus sends you, go forth, I pray you, go at once, and with joy tell out the story of His love.
I could conceive an angel being almost tempted to linger, if sent to execute vengeance, and to deluge fields with blood forthe iniquity of nations. I dare not think that he would hesitate even then, for these holy spirits do the Lord's bidding mostunquestioningly. But if the mission is of mercy, the loving spirit of an angel would leap for joy and be quickened by thesweetness of the errand as well as by the commission of his Lord. We, too, sent of God, if sent on hard service, are boundto go. But if sent on so sweet a service as the proclaiming of the Gospel, how can we tarry?
What? To tell the poor criminal shut up in the dungeon of despair that there is liberty! To tell the condemned that thereis pardon! To tell the dying that there is life in a look at the crucified One-do you find this hard? Do you call this toil?Should it not be the sweetest feature of your life that you have such blessed work as this to do?
If tonight, when the day is over, when you are in your chamber alone, you should suddenly behold a vision of angels who shouldspeak to you in celestial accents and nominate you to holy service in the Church, you would surely feel impressed by sucha visit. But Jesus Christ Himself has come to you, has bought you with His blood, and has set you apart by His redemption.You have confessed His coming to you, for you have been baptized into His death, and declared yourself to be His. And areyou less impressed by Christ's coming than you would have been by an angel's visit?
You little know what good you may do, my Brethren, if you always feel the burden of the Lord as you ought to do. I was ledto think of that fact from a letter which I have here, which did my heart good as I read it. I daresay the dear friend whowrote it is present-he will not mind my reading an extract. He had fallen into very great sin, and though often attendingat this Tabernacle, and being frequently stirred in heart, his conversion was not brought about till one day riding by railwayto a certain town.
peace with God. I told him I regularly attended the Tabernacle, but I could not give up all my sins. He then told me how,in his own case, he had found it very desirable to be much in prayer and communion with God, and how he was thus kept frommany besetting sins.
train some few hours before were there, and it was an occasion of deep concern to many, as one of the students, who was theirpastor, was taking his farewell of his flock that evening, and many were in tears, himself also.
"I asked one of the students to pray for me. He did so, and I tried to lift up my whole heart to God, and, as it were, leaveall my sins outside. But I found them a ponderous weight. At last I believed in Jesus and exercised a simple faith such asI never knew before. I became quite contrite and humiliated. I found the Lord there. He is sweet to my soul. God has, forChrist's sake, forgiven me all my sins. I am happy now. I shall ever pray for the students at the Pastors' College, and never,I hope, begrudge my mite for the support of the same. God be praised for the students!"
See you thus that a casual word about Christ and the soul will have its reward. I heard once of a clergyman who used to gohunting and when he was reproved by his bishop, he replied that he never went hunting when he was on duty. But he was asked,"When is a clergyman off-duty?" And so with the Christian, when is he off duty? He ought to be always about his Father's business,ready for anything and everything that may glorify God. He feels that he is not sent on Sunday only, but sent always, notcalled now and then to do good, but sent throughout his whole life to work for Christ.
But I must finish. The greatest obligations seem to me, to lie upon each one of us to be serving Christ, because of the desperatecase of our ungodly neighbors. Many of them are dying without Christ, and we know what their end must be-an end that has noend-a misery that has no bounds. Oh, the woe which sin causes on earth! But what is that to the never-ending misery of theworld to come!
Our time in which to serve the Lord on earth is very short. If we would glorify God as dwellers on earth, we must do it now.We shall soon, ourselves, be committed to the grave, or they whom we would gladly bless may go there before us. Let us, then,bestir ourselves! I felt much weight on my mind yesterday, from the consideration that we, as a nation, are enjoying peace,an unspeakable blessing-the value of which none of us can rightly estimate. Now, if we do not make, as a Christian Church,the most earnest endeavors to spread abroad the Gospel in these times of peace, before long this nation may also be plungedin war. War is the most unmitigated of curses, and among its other mischiefs, it turns the mind of the people away from allreligious thoughts.
Now while we have peace, and God spares this land the horrors of war, ought not the Church of God to be intensely eager touse her opportunities? The night comes. I know not how dark that night may be. The political atmosphere seems heavily chargedwith evil elements. The result of the present conflict between France and Prussia may not be what some would hope, for itmay again crush Europe beneath a despot's heel. Now, while we have liberty-a liberty which our sires bought at the stake,and sealed with their blood, let us use it. While it is day let us work the works of Him that sent us. And let each man takefor his motto the succeeding verse to my text, "As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world."
Take heed that your light be not darkness. Take heed you conceal it not. If it is light, take heed that you despise it not,for if it is ever so little a light, it is what God has given you, and as much as you will be able to give God a joyful accountof. If you have any light, though it is but a spark, it is for the world you have it. For the sons of men it is lent you.Use it, use it now, and God help you.
O that our light as a Church would shine upon this congregation! How I desire to see all my congregation saved! Let Believersbe more in prayer, more in service, more in holiness, and God will send us His abundant blessing, for Jesus' sake. Amen.

Ward Three's Rising Star
The last City of Las Vegas election was highlighted by a fight over rich people's first world problems.
By Liberty Watch Magazine	 On May 17, 2019
The residents of Queensridge booted out their sitting councilman because the golf course enhancing their views might go away. No meals would be missed.
The concerns of this year's Ward 3 election are shall we say, more third world. "That's what they called my grade school, 'third world,'" George "Mingo" Collaso tells me as the happy hour crowd streamed into his eponymous establishment in the Arts District. "I didn't even know what people meant when they called it that."
GROWING UP IN WARD 3: "LAS VEGAS'S STEPCHILD"
The school Collaso referred to was Walter Bracken Grade School at Sorrell and Eastern. "Just outside the projects," he explained. Born in 1980, although he looks much younger, Collaso has spent his entire life, with the exception of three years, living in Ward 3. He attended Roy Martin Middle School and went on to attend Vo Tech, earning certifications in business and accounting. He proudly says he graduated on time. It was no small feat.
Living with his single mother, after her divorce from his father, he describes the hellish experience of living on the edge of homelessness. "We moved 40 times," he said. "We would be evicted every three to six months, and I had to dropout of high school."
While his mother jumped from one abusive relationship to another, her son decided, as difficult as it was, to complete his education to make a better life for himself. A better life he has. After his short stay in Seattle, Collaso returned to work at the Hard Rock Hotel, set up the accounting department at the Red Rock Casino, and then went on to open the critically acclaimed La Madonna and Mundo restaurants.
The struggles to open Mingo really opened his eyes to dealing with the City of Las Vegas. City bureaucrats seemed to apply city codes arbitrarily, giving him and his partners problems with signage and other architectural issues. The result was months of delays.
The current Ward 3 councilman, Bob Coffin, has been no help. However, it is Coffin's recent inattentiveness that spurred Collaso to run for the retiring councilman's seat. A board member of the HIV/AIDS group Golden Rainbow, Collaso reached out to his councilman to deliver a proclamation for the Dining Out For Life® event. Coffin ignored his constituent for six months and Collaso found someone else.
"Coffin shows up for ground breakings, when he can get some press," says Collaso. "Otherwise, he ignores us."
Coffin is (soon to be was) a career politician. Collaso tells me more than once, "Change will only be made by non-politicians."
Things must change he says. For now, "Ward 3 is Las Vegas's stepchild."
"I'M HISPANIC, CHINESE, AND GAY: I AM WARD 3"
Like much of the country hasn't participated in America's recent prosperity, the Las Vegas and Clark County boom has left Ward 3's 100,000 citizens behind. The City of Las Vegas Ward 3 is peculiar connection of triangular and rectangular areas.
The right triangle opposite side is Main Street and I-15. The adjacent side is Sahara from I-15 to nearly Boulder Highway, with the hypotenuse running principally along Fremont.
The rectangle's bottom side runs from Fremont to Nellis Blvd. The northern side runs along Owens from 20th Street to Nellis. The westerly boundary stair-steps south from 20th to 8th, jutting eastward along I-95 to Fremont.
Hispanics comprise 65 percent of Ward 3's population, with 4.5 percent of residents being Asian, and only 18 percent white. In the whole of the city of Las Vegas 46 percent of residents are white. Both Collaso's parents worked in housekeeping on the Strip. Collaso joked, "I'm Hispanic, Chinese, and Gay: I AM Ward 3."
In the city of Las Vegas 28 percent of residents work in service occupations, while in Ward 3 that percentage is 42 percent. Only 62 percent of Ward 3 residents are high school graduates considerably below the city as a whole with 84 percent high school graduates.
The disparity continues for college graduates with 8 percent of Ward 3 residents holding college diplomas, while 23 percent of Las Vegas residents have a college degree.
I mentioned to Collaso that I had driven west down Charleston to his restaurant. "There are too many tire stores, right?" he said. "And no grocery stores." He lives near his establishment. When I asked how far the nearest grocery store was, he pulled out his phone. "The nearest store is 1.5 miles, but I won't shop there. It's too scary," he said. "The nearest one I'll go to is 2.1 miles from my place."
A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
Collaso became sick in 2014. He is not a big man to begin with and he lost weight and strength. He looked to be a ghost of himself. Many of his friends believed he wouldn't make it. He wasn't so sure himself. Finally, in 2015, he was diagnosed with Lupus. He changed his diet and is on the proper medication. Now, in good health, "I appreciate the things I have and I want others to have these things as well."
The kid who grew up with nothing, after dodging death's door, says, "I want to give back." He tells me he stopped by Goldfarb Elementary school during Nevada Reading Week to talk to students. "I tell them I've been where some of them are. I'm someone like them who made my way out with education."
Consider this: In Ward 3, English is spoken in less than 36 percent of homes, with other languages spoken in 64 percent. This is the exact opposite of the statistics for the entire city where English is spoken in 2/3rds of homes.
Part of that giving back is running for the Ward 3 council seat. He's not a politician and doesn't particularly care for them. While Collaso is registered as a Democrat, he's apolitical. "I run a business. I'm fiscally conservative, but socially liberal." I told him he might actually be a libertarian, but he doesn't want to be labeled. While he serves on the Gay Softball League Board of Directors, he mentioned he had voted for Republican Bob Beers.
Crime and safety is first on Collaso's list. Criminals can easily blend in with the homeless. There are so many abandoned buildings in Ward 3 which harbor drug dealers and other criminals. He believes building owners who are land banking, waiting to be bought out through redevelopment, should pay a blight tax, with the money going to homeless services. He believes mental illness adds to the homeless problem and those people need services.
Infrastructure and roads are the next problem in his ward he considers important. Improvement in these areas would drive "revitalization without displacement." To Collaso's point, while over half the homes in the City of Las Vegas live in homes built between 1990 and 2009, only 15 percent of Ward 3 housing was constructed during those years.
The City has contributed to the problem by making Charleston less pedestrian friendly. He mentioned a new fence has been erected in the Charleston Blvd. median, impeding foot traffic. This, in an area where nearly a quarter of the residents are without a vehicle, according to City of Las Vegas statistics.
Collaso would give builders incentives to construct housing if a portion of the projects were set aside for low income buyers or renters. Again, statistics support the candidate's view that affordable housing is needed. The Ward 3 median income is $29,994, far below the City of Las Vegas's median of $51,569.
Collaso explained, "businesses must change all the time to attract customers, government should be willing to change as well."
"Ward 3 is more than the Huntridge," Collaso told me, referring to the old theatre that is much talked about along with Circle Park. Green space is a priority for him, but he stressed that bringing existing parks back to life should be considered first. He expressed doubt that having round-theclock police presence at Circle Park (on Maryland Parkway) is economically feasible.
Ward 3 desperately needs new businesses and small businesses. The permitting and licensing processes should be streamlined, Collaso said, having been through the process himself. Plus, license fees should be payable in installments, rather than 100 percent upfront, so that new businesses aren't strangled in their crib.
With 31 percent of Ward 3 residents living below the poverty level, compared to just over half that percentage in the entire city, Ward 3 needs capital investment and jobs. "The City must improve its technology and become more user friendly to business owners," Collaso said.
When asked about his competitors, Collaso, again, said a business person should be elected. He is the only business person in the race. None of the others is even close and most are either politicians or government employees.
One candidate inexplicably dropped her state assembly position, seeing this seat as a better political opportunity. Another, just returned from serving in Washington D.C. ,saddled with ethics issues. One works for the federal government in the Department of Veteran Affairs, while another served as a park commissioner for the city. A special education teacher is running along with a hotel guest services employee.
Collaso has plenty to do already. This post will be no political stepping stone for him. One of his competitors dispensed an underling to try and convince him to get out of the race and run for something else. He said, "No, I've lived in Ward 3 all my life. I want to make it better. This is all I care about."
Collaso will never forget where he came from. He showed me the tattoo on his arm, "A certain darkness is needed to see the stars."
"I'm dedicated to communicating with and working for constituents," he said. "I want to be part of the solution."
I'm certain Mingo Collaso is already is part of the solution. As the sun set on the Arts District, I left the certain darkness of Mingo, knowing I'd spent time with a star.

An area of increasing scholarly fascination in sociology worries the style wherein the individual interacts with others while in the society
The contributions for the classical theorists Marx, Durkheim and Weber to sociology
An area of increasing scholarly interest in sociology worries the way where the individual interacts with some people while in the culture. In such a regard, as the classical theories of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber implicitly address the person in addition to the culture, some criticisms have been offered relating to their immediate thing to consider belonging to the particular person in society. Then again, the three sociologists laid worthwhile foundations with the progression of sociology as a self-discipline. The current paper explores the contributions of your classical theorists Marx, Durkheim and Weber to sociology. From the onset, it truly is crucial to take note the sociological theories of Marx, Durkheim and Weber are principally concerned with macro-sociological, large-scale, and structural explications of social phenomena. The implication here is usually that these theories, which have been formulated inside of the later on aspect within the nineteenth century as well as the early piece belonging to the twentieth century, mostly sought to clarify the new social planet characterized by higher industrialization, modernity, secularism, and urbanization. By way of example, when Weber explores social motion in the personal amount, a good deal his theorization is connected to structural phenomena like rationalization, status, patriarchy, http://proessayhelp.co.uk/ additionally, the onset of capitalism. As a result, the classical theorists formulated their theories consistent with the social matters widespread in that era, which laid the foundations for the enhancement of sociology as being a willpower. Though, its very important to observe that, even while the micro-sociological formulations of Weber, Durkheim and Marx laid the foundations for sociology, the real foundations for knowledge societies lie in comprehending social action and interactions amongst minor teams and individual members of culture. The knowing here tends to be that these interactions underlie social structures, define the social environment, and design and take care of societies. It can be, for these reasons, key for sociologists to discover and realize these interactions. As has become pointed out, a person location inside of the contributions of Durkheim, Weber and Marx problems their orientations toward actions or structure (macro). As demonstrated by Wallace and Wolf, the key fascination of your macro-sociological methods to being familiar with society as proposed by Weber, Durkheim and Marx would be the constructions that make-up the culture, along the lines of social lessons, electricity, rationalization, division of labor, units of solidarity, historic developments, and norms. While the classical theories incorporate micro-sociological concepts, they use these principles to make macro-sociological theories of social construction. By way of example, Marx's formulation starts off along with a micro strategy, which is certainly the commodity, which is certainly derived from learning capitalism for a complete, and is utilized to explicate the improvements in additionally, the framework in the capitalist product. In Marx's postulation, a capitalist platform potential customers for the alienation of individuals from their species becoming, by which buyers wish to advance mutual survival and interconnection. Unlike Marx, Weber may very well be credited with acknowledging both of those micro and macro components of social conversation. In line with Wallace and Wolf, Weber explores the that means and resources of social motion, and his procedure spans micro and macro levels of culture. Weber was notably intrigued aided by the rationalization of society emanating on the Industrial Revolution, and the way the ensuing changes had been most likely to have an impact on humanity. Even as Weber's formulations of social marriage and social motion may be used as foundations for any concept of social conversation, Weber fails to acquire this implication. The fact is that, very much of his writings are dedicated to businesses, constructions of strength and teams. Durkheim would make diverse principal contributions to sociology, like clarifying and distinguishing the field of sociology from other social sciences and an emphasis on the will need to use empirical details to lend aid theoretical speculation. Durkheim can also be credited with concentrating on the idea of division on labor and its implications for social lifestyle. Other crucial contributions of Durkheim include things like collective conscience in addition to the concept of social specifics. In macro theories of Durkheim, Webber and Marx, cultural values, norms, religion, laws and regulations, consciousness, social course, and beliefs are deciding in the social steps of particular members of culture and social steps. The results of those macro forces on particular social action are determinate and may be empirically evaluated in sociological analysis, which includes Weber's examine of rationalization and Marx's examine of capitalism. In these kinds of macro techniques, the users of society have minimal selections, and act likewise with others, therefore limiting their inventive conversation with others.
The present paper explores the contributions of Marx, Webber and Durkheim to sociology
The examination classifies the theoretical frameworks of Marx, Durkheim and Weber as macro theories. As a result, the spots the theorists' contributions encompass their orientations toward actions or composition, resolve or creativeness, socialization, and approaches to social motion. Though their theories can have some weaknesses in explaining the present society, the sociological foundations laid with the theorists are necessary for current and upcoming formulations.

College hoops is upon us folks, forget the NBA and it's over-payed (Kobe), over-hyped (EVERYONE), over-entitled (Dwight Howard) group of regular season sleep-inducing basketball. Wake me up when we get to Christmas break and the NBA teams actually start giving some real effort.
With .8 seconds left in regulation, unkown-guy "A" lobs it to unkown-guy "B" who smashes it on everyone's face-hole to take the game into overtime. THIS IS WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT COLLEGE HOOPS.

Pull out the Instant Pot and make this hearty, vegan Southwestern Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Potatoes for dinner tonight! 140 calories and 2 Weight Watchers Freestyle SP. Thank you to The Little Potato Company for helping me share this recipe with you.
Up until a couple of days ago, I was thinking that I had overdone it on the soups in the past several months. I was bracing myself for a dinnertime revolt from my family. To be fair, homemade soups have shown up on our dinner table A LOT – at least once a week – since school started in September. They're quick, easy, usually economical and can be packed with all sort of healthy ingredients.
But when my 13-year old went back for his third (!) helping of this vegan soup, I knew I had won him over. Typically, he likes his soups with some sort of meat – chicken, sausage, shrimp – but he barely even noticed that this was a meatless meal. The beauty of a really hearty soup!
These days when I want to make soup using dried beans, peas or lentils, I pull out my Instant Pot because it makes short work of any dried pulses. As I was staring into my pantry at 5pm (an all too familiar scenario), the bag of green split peas caught my eye.
I didn't have any ham on hand, but plenty of my favorite Creamer potatoes from The Little Potato Company and a cupboard full of spices. By 6pm, I had a pressure cooker full of piping hot vegan split pea and potato soup, flavored with southwestern spices.
Often I serve The Little Potato Company's Creamer potatoes whole or halved because their small size makes them perfect for throwing straight into recipes. Convenience is the key! For example, they're fantastic roasted with onions and blue cheese, rolled up in grilled zucchini, or boiled and tossed with pesto. That being said, their creamy texture really lends them to soups and stews as well. As the potatoes cook and soften, they release some of their starch, which helps to thicken the broth.
The result? A creamy, hearty soup without the cream!
• First, rinse the split peas in a sieve and pick out any stones.
• Switch off the Saute mode, then add the vegetable broth, water, diced Creamer potatoes, split peas and diced tomatoes. Give the mixture a quick stir to combine.
• Put the lid on the Instant Pot, close the steam vent and set to 22 minutes on HIGH pressure using Manual mode. It will take about 15 minutes for the pressure to build before the 22-minute cook time kicks in.
• Give the soup a good stir and season to taste. Serve, garnished with minced cilantro.
Add the onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic, cumin, oregano and salt. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the broth, water, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, split peas and potatoes.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot, close the steam vent and set to HIGH pressure using the Manual mode. Adjust the time to 23 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 20 minutes to come to pressure.
Season to taste, serve and garnish with cilantro.
Hi Dara, this soup looks fantastic! I don't have an instant pot and don't plan to get one so I was wondering if this woodwork equally well in a pressure cooker? What do you think? Thanks for the great recipe!
Hi Lori, Instant Pots are simply electric pressure cookers (with some other functions added on), so you could definitely use a regular pressure cooker! I don't have exact times for that because I haven't tested this recipe in something other than an Instant Pot. You would have to saute the onions, etc. in a saute pan first, then add to your pressure cooker. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
MMMM just like my Mom makes.
Very flavorful and hearty! We left out the hot peppers and adobo sauce and it was very good.

Yusuf Pathan fastest century in IPL he scored in 37 balls, which he scored against Mumbai Indians in 2010, in the Brabourne Stadium of Mumbai, and the record still remains untouched by any Indian Cricketer.
Nobody will ever forget Yusuf Pathan 72 runs in 22 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014 at Eden Gardens, to take Kolkata Knight Riders to second place in the league table, which gave them 2 chances to qualify for the finals.
According to standard IPL rules ultimately won by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014 on account of a brilliant performance from Manish Pandey and a magical cameo from Piyush Chawla in which he smashed Johnson in the last over of the innings to lead the Knight Riders to a 3-wicket win over the Kings.
Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell formed a 96 run 7th wicket partnership, where Pathan played a brilliant knock of 60 runs in 29 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2016, to take the Knight Riders to a nearly impossible victory.
He is also one of the few players to have embraced the IPL Trophy 3 times {1-Rajasthan Royals (2008) and 2-Kolkata Knight Riders (2012&2014)}. He also is lucky to be a part of the World Cup-winning team of 2007 as well as that of 2011, which is one of his special records in International Cricket.
The range of shots and the power, which Pathan possesses, makes him a special stroke player. He is one of the few players, who on his day can single-handedly take the match away from the opposition. His unpredictability is what makes him a unique player.
Key Point:
Yusuf Pathan started his journey in IPL with Rajasthan Royals.
Yusuf Pathan won the first edition of IPL with Rajasthan Royals.
He has scored a hundred in just 37 balls against Mumbai Indians.
In 2011, Kolkata Knight Riders brought him for $2.1 million.

Bengals expect to have Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins Sunday
The Bengals expect to have all their wide receivers on hand as they attempt to play spoiler against the Ravens.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Friday that he expects to have Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins in the lineup. Both players have been limited participants in practice this week.
Boyd did not play in Week 16 due to a concussion he suffered in Cincinnati's Week 15 win over the Steelers. Higgins had six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown in last Sunday's win over the Texans, but has been slowed by a hamstring injury this week.
Cornerback William Jackson is also dealing with a concussion. Taylor said he has not been cleared to return at this point.

Acer Aspire One Netbooks

Acer has announced four new additions to the Aspire One netbook line. The AO521 and AO721 feature AMD Athlon Neo II processors, while the AO533 will come with an Intel Atom N475 processor and the AOD260 will round things off with an Intel Atom N450 processor.
Gallery: New Acer Aspire One Netbooks
The new AMD Athlon Neo II powered netbooks are the Aspire One AO521 and AO721, with LED-backlit 10.1" and 11.6" displays respectively. They use the K125 processor that features a single core clocked at 1.7GHz, 1MB L2 cache and 12W power consumption. Acer's claim of HD capable performance stem from the graphics provided by an ATI Radeon HD 4225 with 384MB of allocated system memory. With video decoding accelerated by the IGP, at least 720p H.264 playback should be smooth, though we'll have to see about testing 1080p in person.
The smaller AO521 is aimed at ultra mobility with a chassis less than an inch thick and weighing in at around 2.75lbs. It includes a 93% size keyboard, a fairly meager 1GB DDR3 RAM, and a 250GB HDD. The netbook comes with Windows 7 Starter. The AO721 is aimed at the road warrior with a full size keyboard in a chassis that is also less than an inch thick and weighs in at around 3lbs. A more reasonable 2GB DDR3 RAM is fitted along with a 250GB HDD. The netbook comes installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, which makes a nice change from the Windows XP and Windows 7 Starter netbooks.
Connectivity wise, both models feature HDMI ports to make the most of the graphics capabilities. Wired Ethernet and wireless 802.11b/g/n are standard as one would expect. An integrated webcam and digital microphone, along with a gesture-capable trackpad rounds things off. Both models are available now with the 10.1" AO521 coming in at $349.99 and the 11.6" AO721 coming in at $429.99. The latter is rapidly leaving netbook pricing territory, though the HD capable graphics, HDMI port and the fully fledged operating system certainly set it apart from its cheaper rivals. To get a similar experience with Atom, you'll need NVIDIA's ION, and such netbooks are priced similarly.
Acer also launched two new Intel Atom powered netbooks. The AOD260 and AO533 both feature 10.1" WSVGA LED-backlit displays, Ethernet and WiFi, integrated webcams and digital microphones along with gesture-capable trackpads.
The AOD260 is aimed at the style conscious buyer as Acer claim it's designed as a "fashion accessory" with a patterned design, smooth surfaces, chrome-plated logos and flush battery. The chassis is less than an inch thick and comes in at 2.43lbs or 2.76lbs depending on the battery fitted. Performance comes from a standard Intel Atom N450 processor, and it's available in four colors: black, charcoal, pink, and purple.
The AO533 is aimed at the productive buyer rather than the fashion buyer and bumps the CPU up to an Intel Atom N475. Coupled with a 6-cell battery, it's good for 8 hours from a single charge. This is backed up by 1GB DDR3 RAM and a 250GB HDD. The netbook weighs in at 2.76lbs with a "newly enhanced industrial design." It's available with a glossy red, black, or white and like the AOD260 features a flush fitting battery.
The AOD260 and AO533 will be available later this month for $298.00 and $329.99 respectively.

Tread carefully on the cloud with ERP
Scalability is the most common reason for ERP cloud migration, but it doesn't come without significant challenges.

Businesses must adapt to technological changes that are thrust upon them to survive, and the flexibility of an enterprise resource management (ERP) system says a lot about its readiness to embark on a digital transformation effort.
Does cloud computing have a communication problem?
For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), one of the most sought-after features of an ERP system is in scaling business operations through automation while lowering costs and increasing security. But as businesses increasingly use these platforms to digitize and automate processes— across product planning, development, manufacturing, sales, and marketing— in a single application, moving them to the cloud is not coming without its own set of challenges.
According to a report by Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), close to 70 percent of 200 enterprises surveyed are migrating to a cloud-based ERP system. At a wider level, businesses will spend US$30 billion on cloud ERP systems in 2021 and a total of US$266 billion on all public cloud services.
At the same time, 90 percent of CIOs are experiencing problems when it comes to data migration, particularly around ensuring systems remain compliant with data and security regulations. As such, the complexities of moving sensitive data has delayed many migration projects.
CSA found that moving sensitive data to the cloud was the top concern among almost two-thirds of businesses (65 percent)— and while cloud-native migration tools can be used for data access control and encryption throughout the transition, the CSA warns that businesses will need to reconfigure their systems for the cloud environment.
The upshot is that moving ERP systems to the cloud is not a "lift and shift" process. To fully utilize the access control and encryption tools, businesses may need to redesign the databases to suit the cloud. Without actual compatibility, issues concerning patching and access controls may continue.
In the report, CIOs highlighted two cautionary areas that contributed to missed deadlines for project completion. It's difficult to not only estimate the duration for data migration but also the number of unforeseen errors.
Containers are driving up costs in the cloud
While security was another key concern, among 59 percent of respondents, CSA suggests cloud security offers improvements over that of on-premise systems. Instead, the biggest risk to cloud security is the policies, configurations, and technologies in place. It adds that 95 percent of cloud security failures are the customer's fault.
And while security is a worry, more than half of businesses (51 percent) were overall confident that they hadn't had any ERP-related security incidents in the two years prior, while 44 percent said they at least weren't aware. For the remaining 5 percent that had suffered failures, each had reported an average of 3.8 incidents in the same timeframe.
On products and solutions employed by companies to protect cloud ERP systems, over two-thirds (68 percent) claimed to use identity and access management. Other products included firewalls (63 percent); vulnerability assessments (62 percent); and intrusion and detection prevention systems (59 percent).
The complications of moving ERP to the cloud— compounded by compliance challenges and disruption to business— means the average migration takes 12 months, while only a quarter of CIOs reported meeting deadlines.
Ultimately, while moving ERP to the cloud is likely beneficial for businesses, and somewhat inevitable, companies must prepare well and plan for the worst, ensuring any impact of likely delays on the business function are minimal.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Files Articles of Impeachment Against Garland
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced on Friday that she had introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland after he admitted that he personally authorized the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
Greene's resolution claims that the attorney general's "personal approval to seek a search warrant for the raid on the home of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, constitutes a blatant attempt to persecute a political opponent."
The warrant, which was approved by a federal judge, was unsealed on Friday after the Justice Department and Trump's attorneys agreed. It alleged that the FBI secured classified materials that were taken to Mar-a-Lago, a claim that has been contested by the former president who said the documents had been declassified. It also suggested the former president is being investigated for possible violations of the Espionage Act.
Republicans, including Greene, have repeatedly accused the DOJ of going after Trump for political reasons.
Noting his concern that the Biden administration has weaponized the Justice Department for political reasons, former Vice President Mike Pence tweeted:
"I share the deep concern of millions of Americans over the unprecedented search of the personal residence of President Trump. No former President of the United States has ever been subject to a raid of their personal residence in American history."
Pence, who has been on the outs with the former president, continued in follow-up tweets:
"After years where FBI agents were found to be acting on political motivation during our administration, the appearance of continued partisanship by the Justice Department must be addressed.
"Yesterday's action undermines public confidence in our system of justice and Attorney General Garland must give a full accounting to the American people as to why this action was taken and he must do so immediately."
Greene's resolution claims that Garland's "effort to unseal the search warrant for the home of former President Donald J. Trump constitutes an attempt to intimidate, harass, and potentially disqualify a political challenger to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr."
The White House claims that they were unaware of the raid prior to it's occurrence; however, many experts have argued that White House officials would likely have been briefed.
Articles of impeachment against Garland are unlikely to pass in Congress with a Democratic majority currently in power and an unknown number of Republicans who would support the resolution.

Process Server Portland Oregon By Barrister Help Services
With over 40 years' mixed experience as a barrister and solicitor, Jim brings a wealth of information and expertise to the decision of his clients' …
With over 40 years' mixed experience as a barrister and solicitor, Jim brings a wealth of information and expertise to the decision of his clients' disputes. Before 2015, the only difference was that advocates have a right to characterize clients earlier than the court in all cases and the legal advisors could not symbolize purchasers earlier than the courtroom in criminal cases. The Barrister has a paid circulation of greater than three,000 legal professionals, judges, authorized professionals & business leaders all through New Jersey.
While you place your advertising in The Barrister you place your product or service message in entrance of a group of execs that may be a proven and constant purchaser of excessive-end services and products. All correspondence, inquiries, invoices, and so forth, can be addressed to the solicitor, who's primarily accountable for the barrister's fees.
As barristers develop into extra senior and can charge larger charges, this turns into much less of a problem, however for barristers just starting out, this is usually a real problem. Senior barristers from both the self-employed and employed Bar can apply to 'take silk' and become Queen's Counsel (QC).
However, should you wish to practise in England and Wales you will need to also complete a one-12 months pupillage with a barristers' chamber. Similarly, the prohibition on barristers taking instructions instantly from the public has also been widely abolished.
It is primarily barristers who're appointed as judges, and they're not often employed by clients immediately. Employed barristers undertake comparable activities for one firm or consumer. Graduates of USQ legislation degrees then need to complete an permitted sensible authorized coaching course as a way to change into admitted to apply.
