My experience with Instagram and anxiety
The reality of FOMO
My relationship with Instagram and anxiety
Community is better than numbers
Pin it for later!
Instagram and anxiety is a topic we often hear about. This great platform can easily be a double-edged sword. It allows us to share our art and life while also connecting with people who can relate to us. It shows us that we are not alone and that other people go through the same issues as us.
However, it's also increasing anxiety in many people and I see it on myself a lot. That's why I wanted to share my views on this topic and how I live my relationship with Instagram.
FOMO (Fear of missing out) is a type of social anxiety often related to social media consumption and, mostly, with Instagram. Before researching more about it, I didn't know it was a thing and that it was something I could relate to so much.
Seeing people living their best life, travelling to new places or doing things I always dreamed of, would start this FOMO process inside myself.
Questions like "Why can they and I can't?" – "What am I doing with my life?" – "I'm not part of this chosen group" and similar would allow this endless process of overthinking and self-doubt to get into my mind and soul. This fear of missing out on amazing experiences because I'm not like or as capable as them. It might be because I aspire to live a similar lifestyle to them. Or because they are reaching goals I'd also love to reach but I don't see them happening.
We all know that what you see on Instagram is not always the reality, but a polished version of it. However, this rarely stops the process of comparison because it happens too easily and too quickly.
There are times when I feel pumped and want to give 100% of myself to this platform. I want to engage with people, share photos I am proud of, learn from others and it feels like I can do anything.
Other times though, a tornado goes through my mind and questions on why I do it start coming up, along with criticisms on my feed looking too messy and unattractive, sadness because my profile doesn't seem to grow at all and numbers that are not as big as others'.
It's true that I shouldn't worry about those things too much. Numbers don't always mean quality. It's way better to build a community that engages with you and that you can both benefit from rather than a big but passive one. I think this up and down relationship I have with Instagram is also due to my struggle in believing in myself and my anxiety. We are our worst critics and it's very easy to slip into being harsh on ourselves rather than being proud of what we are doing.
Online there are countless tips and suggestions on how to build a better and healthier relationship with Instagram. From deleting the app, to turning the notifications off or limiting the use to only a few hours per day, just to name a few.
Those decisions might feel too challenging to make and I totally understand that. What stopped me from making those decisions is, again, the fear of missing out and having people forget about me. However, what I'm trying to do is to work on shifting my mindset from focusing too much on numbers to connecting with people who enjoy my content and find it useful. I will never forget some episodes that happened not long ago that confirmed me that that's the right path to pursue.
I was feeling very unmotivated about what I was creating and sharing while also thinking that no-one was finding it useful nor relatable. But, then, I received a few wonderful messages from people who could relate to my same struggles and that gave me a massive boost of confidence! They told me I was doing the right thing by being open and real and talk about anxiety, mental health and other life challenges.
While reading those messages, tears came out of my eyes and a sense of pride and motivation went through my body and soul. I'm so thankful to those people because they really helped me a lot.
I know this process will take time and that it won't be smooth or flat. It's challenging to stop comparing myself to others and I often avoid looking at my numbers because of the importance I still put on them. But this will change for the best.
What are your thoughts about social networks and their influence on our mental health? Feel free to write your point of view on the comments.
Hello you beautiful soul, it's Daniele here! Thank you for stopping by.
A few words to describe me would be: professional overthinker, pizza lover and aspiring photographer, storyteller and travel blogger.
My aim is to share my adventures, my relationship with anxiety and exploring our beautiful Mother Earth.

This investment will multiply the size of the Nordic heavy-duty vehicle gas filling station network, enabling considerable emission cuts. In the Nordic countries, heavy-duty road transport plays a key role in the logistics system while at the same time generating a significant proportion of road transport emissions.
For the emission reduction targets set at the national and international levels to be reached, concrete solutions are needed to reduce heavy-duty road transport emissions considerably from the current levels. Among the low-emission fuels, the most competitive alternative for this purpose is LNG.
The 50 new filling stations will be located at key transport nodes and will enable significant increases in the use of LNG and biogas in heavy-duty transport. The switch of heavy-duty vehicles to LNG or LBG will result in significant cuts in carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate and noise emissions.
"We're on our way towards a carbon-neutral society and it's now time to accelerate the pace. Gas plays an indisputably important role in this transition," Gasum CEO Johanna Lamminen summed up. "In recent years, we've been making purposeful efforts to build the Nordic LNG and biogas infrastructure to improve access to gas.


To whom it concerns, I am seeking employment working under an artisan using "traditional" sign techniques. I currently run my own vinyl sign shop and put myself through college with it but would like to learn more traditional methods (gold leafing, smalting, glass work, ect.) under somebody's direct supervision. I have experience with various types of CAD and CAM as well as Adobe Illustrator software and have a two year degree in machining/toolmaking. I am able to relocate and will provide a resume and references to anyone who is interested. To tell you a little more about myself, I am 28 and grew up in North Dakota with a strong work ethic. I have also lived in Alberta and Kenya. I enjoy aviation, the occasional scotch and cigar, cooking, and just learning new things.

Maserati Tipo 61
16 units[1]
Giulio Alfieri
Sports racer.
Two-seat spyder.
FR layout
Welded tubular latticework - Superleggera
2890.3 cc inline-four cylinder, Normally aspirated with two Weber 48 DC03 carburettors
187 kW (250 bhp) @ 6800 rpm
2,200 mm (87 in)
600 kg (1,300 lb)
The Maserati Tipo 61 (commonly referred to as the Maserati Birdcage) is a sports racing car of the early 1960s. The car was produced between 1959 and 1961 by Maserati for racing in sports car events including the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance classic. It used an intricate tubular space frame chassis, containing about 200 chro-moly steel tubes welded together, hence the nickname "Birdcage".[1] This method of construction provided a more rigid and, at the same time, lighter chassis than other sports cars of the time.[1] By recessing the windscreen base into the bodywork, Maserati was able to reduce the effect of new Le Mans rules demanding a tall windscreen. The Camoradi team became famous racing the Tipo 61s but, despite being very competitive, the Birdcage was somewhat unreliable and occasionally retired from many races due to problems with the drivetrain.[2][3]
A modern car - the Maserati MC12 is available only in white and blue to serve as a tribute to the Tipo 61 and the Camoradi racing team.[4]
1 Racing history
2 The Birdcage series
3 Maserati Birdcage 75th (2005 concept car)
Racing history[edit]
The Tipo 61 was unveiled in 1959 when Stirling Moss won its first race, attracting the attention of Lloyd "Lucky" Casner.[5] Casner founded the Casner Motor Racing Division who raced three Tipo 61's in the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans.[5] The Tipos never won Le Mans due to reliability issues, however in both 1960 and 1961 the Camoradi team won the 1000 km Nürburgring.[6]
The Birdcage series[edit]
The Tipo 61 was the most well known model but Giulio Alfieri designed 5 different models, all based on an intricate multi-tubular frame concept. This multi-tubular construction produced a light weight and rigid chassis that was a significant competitive advantage for a racing car. All models included independent front suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and 5-speed transmission. A De Dion type rear axle was used on the Tipo 60 and 61.[3]
Tipo 60 featured a small 2-liter 4-cylinder engine of 200 hp (150 kW), located in the front and tilted over at a 45° angle for a lower center of gravity. The weight was 570 kg (1,257 lb) and the car had at a maximum speed of 270 km/h (168 mph).[3]
Tipo 61 featured a 2.9-liter 4-cylinder engine of 250 hp (186 kW), located in the front at a 45° angle for a weight of 600 kg (1,323 lb) pushing the car at a speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).[3]
The mid-engined Birdcage cars began with the Tipo 63. Maserati now changed to a mid-engine configuration using a similar multi-tubular chassis construction. The rear suspension was changed to an independent double wishbone configuration.[7]
The Tipo 63 through 65 cars have been described as a "historian's nightmare". Maserati was in difficult financial circumstances and Giulio Alfieri was trying to build a competitive car on a low budget. He would retrieve various engines from the Maserati parts bins. Then, he had them modified and installed in the ten various chassis that were constructed. The Tipo 63 was raced with four-cylinder and twelve-cylinder engines and the chassis was radically redesigned when the first version proved less competitive than the Tipo 61.[7][8][9]
The definitive reference for this complex and confusing era is the book: "Maserati Tipo 63, 64, 65: Birdcage to Supercage" written by Willem Oosthoek.[8]
Maserati V12 Tipo 63 (early chassis)
Tipo 63 first used a 4-cylinder engine similar to the Tipo 61 and later a V12 engine from the Formula One 1957 Maserati 250F. Tipo 63 cars raced in 1961 with both engines, placing 4th at the 24 hours of Le Mans (12 cylinder version) with Briggs Cunningham's team. And Count Volpi's Scuderia Serenissima hired Medardo Fantuzzi to modify one of their Tipo 63 cars with a longer nose and a fin behind the driver.[7][8]
Tipo 64 featured the same 3-liter V12 as the Tipo 63 with an upgraded frame (many smaller light alloy tubes) - nicknamed "Supercage".[10]
Tipo 65 featured a V8 engine of 5 liters delivering about 430 hp (321 kW) pushing the car at 350 km/h (217 mph). Only one car was built using a modified Tipo 63 chassis.[11]
Maserati Birdcage 75th (2005 concept car)[edit]

Welcome to Melbourne Info Link
Melbourne Info Link is a Melbourne Accommodation and Melbourne Business directory guide that has been set up to help tourist, visitors and shoppers find accommodation, real estate, restaurants, entertainment, events and businesses in Melbourne as well as offering a reliable source of information about this great city of Australia.
While Melbourne still retains architectural links to the past the city is a modern, cosmopolitan city with a host of accommodation choices, entertainment, attractions, sporting events, cultural, culinary, and shopping options that are all to be enjoyed by all who visit. The streets, parks, distinctive cultural precincts and waterfront areas of Melbourne make
it magnificent city to explore at your leisure.
Melbourne is also home to Australia's biggest sports events including: The Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival (including the 'race that stops the nation', the Melbourne Cup), Australian Formula One Grand Prix, Australian Open and AFL Grand Final, and will host the Commonwealth Games in 2006. The city also hosted the first Olympic Games in the southern hemisphere in 1956.
Melbourne is the state capital and largest city in the Australian state of Victoria, and the second-largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of approximately 3.8 million (2006 estimate) in the Melbourne metropolitan area and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area). Melbourne was the capital city of Australia from 1901 until 1927.
The city centre is easy to get around as it is laid out in a simple grid pattern, the long, wide north-south streets gently sloping down to the Yarra River. The main shopping streets such as Bourke Street, Swanston Street and Collins Streets are crossed by a mix of narrow lanes and old-world arcades. The CBD is easily navigable by foot, and if you need a rest after
sightseeing or shopping, there are numerous parks nearby, such as the Royal Botanical Gardens, Fitzroy Gardens and Carlton Gardens. Alternatively, you can take one of Melbourne's signature attractions, a tram. The burgundy-coloured City Circle tram is free, and is a good way to get your bearings as well as explore the inner-city. But be prepared for a passenger crush during peak tourist seasons.
Over the recent decades Melbourne has explored its identity with ultra-modern buildings like Federation Square, Victorian Arts Centre and the redevelopments of the Docklands area. Many of the existing hotels and apartment buildings have been fully restored and renovated to world class standards; there is a large selection of accommodation options to choose
from whilst staying in Melbourne from inner city accommodation packages starting from just $95 per night.
All visitors and holiday makers should always remember to pack a range of clothing option for temperature variations and changeable weather - even during summer. Temperatures range from 6 to 13 degrees Celsius in winter and 15 to 27 during the summer months.

Collegiate Times is finalist for prestigious Web journalism award
The Collegiate Times, the student-run newspaper at Virginia Tech, has been named a finalist for the Associated Collegiate Press Online Pacemaker Award, the highest honor in collegiate Web journalism.
"Being nominated for an Online Pacemaker recognizes not only student excellence in online journalism but also validates our news organization's approach to our future," said Collegiate Times Editor David Grant of Burke, Va., a senior majoring in religious studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
The Online Pacemaker winners will be announced in October at the National College Media Convention in Austin, Texas. The Collegiate Times is one of 10 four-year daily college newspapers in the running for the award. The Collegiate Times won the award during the 2008 competition.

Theresa May chokes over her apology for 'hostile environment' scandal
Thanks to Wear Red: Stand Up and Be Counted for this snapshot of Mrs May's contrition (or lack of it) at the misery her "hostile environment" policy has caused.
All Theresa May had to do was utter three little words, and this might have been a very different story. But she simply could not find it in herself to say: "I was wrong."
That's what the members of the Windrush generation, who have been wronged in some of the most spectacularly heartless ways in the recent history of the United Kingdom, wanted to hear her tell Andrew Marr on his Sunday morning television show as the Conservative Party Conference began.
And they didn't get it, even after Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott called for it on Twitter:
I wonder whether #Marr will be asking Theresa May to look into the camera and apologise for deporting our own citizens, or illegally detaining them?#Windrush
— Diane Abbott MP (@HackneyAbbott) September 30, 2018
Instead, Mrs May managed to spit out a partial apology for the targeting of people who have every right to live and work in the UK, and receive state benefits, by her "hostile environment" policy.
But it wasn't easy. Watch the following clip and you will see Mrs May appearing to choke on her words at around the 16 second mark. That's what she's doing in the image at the top of this article.
Credit to Andrew Marr. He exposed for all viewers Theresa May's callous & unapologetic treatment of the Windrush Generation. This is heartless from May. pic.twitter.com/FtPn3MI9m2
— Tory Fibs (@ToryFibs) September 30, 2018
It got worse from there. She stuttered, she choked some more, but she was determined not to give the people she herself had personally wronged the satisfaction they deserve.
watch a choked theresa may on Marr no empathy just squirming barely able to talk at times as she is confronted with her hostile environment it was sad, sad for those who have suffered at her brutal hand pic.twitter.com/MCwVb1fHmK
— ARTIST TAXI DRIVER (@chunkymark) September 30, 2018
The performance was an insult – and Ms Abbott, who had clearly watched the interview after tweeting about it, drew all the right conclusions. In a statement, she said: "Theresa May's refusal to apologise for her hostile environment policy is disgusting.
"It is astonishing that the Prime Minister doesn't care to know how many people have been denied access to healthcare or lost their homes.
"The Windrush scandal has exposed a moral failure at the heart of this rotten Government. Lives have been destroyed. Theresa May should hang her head in shame."
No, she should have resigned months ago.
It is incredible that this should happen so soon after it was revealed that Mrs May had failed to apologise for the death of a woman who had been refused benefits by her Tory government – and in fact had failed to even acknowledge that it had happened or offer condolences to the family of the deceased.
What we're seeing here is a racist prime minister defiantly refusing to acknowledge the harm she deliberately inflicted – and harming herself in the process.
I suggest this because her apology about the "hostile environment" policy was released to coincide with the start of the Tory conference – and to give it a popularity boost.
Instead, it has revealed that the Tories are still the "nasty" party Mrs May claimed they were, many years ago – and herself the nastiest of the whole rotten lot.

Colin Patrick currently resides in Denver, CO. He learned to play guitar and write songs whilst recovering from a soccer injury he suffered in college. Patrick had dreams of playing professional soccer one day, but it was not meant to be, his love of music and songwriting took precedence, and he began to write and record. An un-trained guitarist and vocalist, Patrick crafts his sound with hypnotic dexterity and warm familiarity. His mix of pop, folk, blues and psychedelia appeals to a wide range of listeners, and has helped to gain him national recognition for his songwriting. Seemingly so, he too is catching the eyes and ears of local musicians alike—and they are listening—Colin Patrick won the honor of being Colorado's solo-artist of the year in December 2012. Today he puts most of his energy into writing as front man for newly formed Lovelorn Regal. With the increasing national buzz around the Denver music scene, Lovelorn Regal hopes to keep it on the map with their self-released debut album Last Call. Patrick wrote and produced the album alongside friends and session musicians/engineers Andrew Serr and Chris Carter. All works were complete at SerrStudio, in Parker CO.


I'm generally pretty good with the meals we prepare at home in the evenings but I'd like to be better with what I eat for lunches and snacks so I don't default to eating cake or chocolate. I'm hoping to try to cook new things from my neglected cook books, find more vegetarian dishes that I like and eat less sugary rubbish for the sake of it. I also need look at how I adapt what we eat at home to make them gluten free after the recent discovery that my husband is probably gluten intolerant. I also want to ensure to continue to be thrifty with my food shop and ensure any meat we eat is good quality and from my local butchers.
I am rubbish at this especially term time and need to get better at it.
I live in a beautiful part of the world and I need to get out into it more and walk. I need to walk in the evenings on the beach or use my national trust membership to walk around their grounds.
I am very guilty of working my way through to the weekend and then hermitting up for the weekend and spending it in PJs hiding from the world. I need to get out and use my Saturdays and evenings better and get a bit more out of life.
I need to curb my social media habits somewhat. I'm never going to quite completely but I want to get out of the habit of mindless scrolling and free up more time to do more productive things be those things online like blogging or offline like knitting, reading or exercisng.
One of the best things I did in 2017 was rejoin my local library service and I have loved every second of it. I love how it has broadened the range of things I read and I love how much money is saves me.
I am a hoarder. I've always been one and my husband is too. We need to be ruthless and clear out stuff we don't use so that we have more space and don't end up featured on one of those extreme hoarders programmes when we are old.
I need to stop buying things on a whim for the sake of it just because I can and really think about whether I need. I'm so guilty of doing this and just need to stop. Using the library has helped me with this a lot. I'm not going to buy any books this year for myself unless I've borrowed them from the library first and completely loved them and even then I'll put them on a wishlist and wait until I find a signed edition or a good second hand copy.
If I am buying things more thoughtfully I want to try and buy the things I do decide I need secondhand (obviously excluding new underwear or tights). I love shopping in charity shops or on ebay or etsy so this shouldn't really be a hardship and will save me money and help the environment. I'm actually looking forward to the challenge of this especially with regards to buying clothes for myself.
I need to get into the habit of using my spotify account more and putting on music whilst I'm cooking or doing housework.

Is anyone trying limiting availability of cavalry to avoid spammage? For example maybe having High Elves be -/3, or -/4 for their Cavalry? (I haven't looked at the other armies yet)..
Besides forcing more list variation, I'm guessing that fluff-wise, infantry would be easier to muster than cavalry.
In the rules committee we were discussing this matter and we were not able to reach a consensus. However I have ever seen all-cav army used only by Barry once on a tournamnet (and later on in the podcast video battle report). He did it on purpose to try to push the limits and he ended up last on that tournament. So it is obviously not does-all-the-work-for-you army. And if you are looking for variety in the list, you don't need rules to push you into it I recon.

The car insurance competition is cut-throat with the cheapest premiums ever for families, young drivers and retirees.
70% of the market has been controlled by just two heavyweights, IAG and Suncorp, which own all the familiar insurance companies. But in the past few years, dozens of new players, including Coles, a month ago Woolworths, even Australia Post, KMart, and a host of on-line players, are causing the biggest price shake-up in history.
"Australians have been generally ripped off with insurance for a long time", said Rohan Gamble, Managing Director of Mozo.com.au.
Mozo.com.au helps you find the top insurance deals. "Coles and Woolworths always are head to head; they're always competing on milk prices, bread prices, lamb prices, and now they're competing on insurance prices", Rohan said.
70% of drivers take out comprehensive insurance, rather than the minimum third party -- to cover them for damage to their car and other's cars and property -- but you can pay far more than you need to.
"There's huge value in comparing. You could save hundreds of dollars, in some cases even thousands" said Peter Arnold, of price comparison website, RateCity.
Business analysts Canstar has compared companies premiums across all states and found the same driver under 25 can pay anywhere between $623 to $3,285 - that's five times more; 30 to 59 year old $420 to $1,519; and the same mature driver over 60 can pay between $370 and $1,453. "If you don't compare, you'll never know how much you could save", Peter said.
Peter says one of the traps that can cost you thousands long-term is customer loyalty discounts, especially pushed by the large established companies. "If you can compare the market and you can be 100% confident you're getting the best deal, and then take the bonus on offer. The problem is these schemes are designed so you don't compare and you may miss out on a much better deal", Peter added.
Woolworths and Budget Direct are backed by international giant, Hollard Insurance, Coles by Westfarmers; while Progressive 100% on-line insurance is the world's biggest insurer based in America. "Absolutely, they're here to play the game aggressively", Rohan said.
We crunched the figures -- comparing 13 different companies premiums for a young driver, a middle age parent, a retiree.
First is 28 year old male renter in inner-Sydney Alexandria, driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla -- exactly the same details given to each company. The cheapest 5 were AAMI by far at $747, then Woolworths with $1,002, Budget Direct was third cheapest at $1,079, followed by Virgin Money $1,102 and Australia Post, $1,115. Most expensive were NRMA $1,509, Suncorp $1,513 and CGU at $1878.
"Some companies are willing to go after the higher risk people and offer them lower premiums, they might have a few more conditions on their policy", Peter said.
Next is a 42 year old family man, living in Melbourne's Ringwood, driving a 2009 Toyota Kluger. The cheapest was AAMI at $666, GIO $693, Suncorp $757, Woolworths $794, Coles $812. The dearest were RACV $995 and CGU at $1,459.
Now, a 65 year old female retiree, good driving record, in Brisbane's Mt Gravatt driving a 2011 Holden Commodore. The cheapest premiums were Budget Direct $382, Virgin Money $390, Australia Post $395, Woolworths $455 and Coles $470 again come in below average price. The most expensive, CGU $662, Suncorp $667 and the dearest was Apia - which targets the senior's market -- at $741.
"What we always say to people is you have to get your own individual quote, insurance is something relevant to you, so even if someone says they got a great deal at an insurance company, it doesn't mean you will", Rohan said.
We again checked Apia premiums using the same retiree profile as before, but in different postcodes. Our six quotes ranged from $470 to $965, average $635 -- still very high.
So some advice when shopping for a premium: don't just focus on the price or accept the quote; you can also save money by opting for a higher excess, restricting the number of drivers and upgrading the security of your vehicle. "Competition is good for all of us it means cheaper prices, better service it means more options and in the long run it means we're all better off", Rohan.

Bright said changing the church name, and dropping the Apostolic denominational reference, came from a desire to see people reached in the love of Christ and drawn to scripture rather than be attracted to — or turned off by — a denominational moniker.
He said it also reflected a distancing from certain denominational stances while retaining others.
"One of the battles I was dealing with was seeing the Body of Christ come together in unity," he said. Bright said while he recognized there were many fine men of God within the Apostolic denomination, he also recognized there were many outside it that he desired fellowship with.
He said as a reflection of his desire to see unity in the church and across racial, socio-economic and other lines, Christ Temple, predominantly black, became involved with activities such as regular unity services centered around Jesus Christ with a neighboring predominantly white church, High Point Church, which is also on Hollis Road.
The two congregations worship together regularly and knock on doors together in their neighborhood offering to pray for residents and invite them to services.
"Christ Temple is a Bible-centered, Bible-believing ministry embracing all cultures," Bright said. "Our mission statement says we're to build people up and be committed to proclaiming redemption and reconciliation through faith in Jesus Christ to all cultures. By that we're referring to all backgrounds, nationalities, races and cultures, whether gang-bangers, drug users, average citizens or those at the top of society. We want to see God glorified, his saints edified and the lost evangelized. Jesus is God's means of salvation and even though we may question or debate points of doctrine and certain beliefs among ourselves, I believe those who embrace Jesus will be led by him where he will guide us."
Bright is from Lawtey, Fla., a small town he said lies between Jacksonville and Gainesville. As a young man he dreamed of playing professional football and to that end obtained a walk-on spot with the Troy University (Ala.) football squad as a free safety. He also received an accompanying scholarship.
But plans for a future in football were cut short.
"In my second season I had a different sort of encounter," he said. "I had an encounter with the Gospel and the Holy Spirit that resulted in my leaving football and following the Lord and his call on my life to preach. At Troy I encountered God and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was a new beginning for me."
Bright said he read his Bible more and it came alive. He said it was through the influence of fellow athletes and connection with an Apostolic Pentecostal church in Troy that he responded to a call to ministry.
"Everything seemed to have gotten amped up after that," he said.
His association with the Troy church drew Bright to an emphasis on what the group called the "Acts 2:38 experience," meaning an emphasis on repentance — or faith in Jesus — and baptism in water and receiving the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Where many Christians believe in each of the three aspects, Bright said the group held each was required for true salvation and Christian fellowship. Bright said though he still holds to the validity of each, he said and demonstrates he has a wider acceptance of others in the body of Christ now.
"I let God be the judge," he said. "I trust he will lead each of us in spiritual growth as we follow him and love as he did."
Bright has served churches in Florida and Georgia. In 2006 he received a bachelor's degree in organization and administration from Apostolic International University of Grace and Truth, Galloway, Ohio, and a doctoral degree in 2015 in same area from the same institution. Bright said he is working to establish a partnership with his alma mater to offer degrees locally.
Christ Temple has a number of established ministries for children, youth, adults, men and women. He said through prayer and action the church hopes to be part of revitalization of their area of Macon, including through education and encouragement of entrepreneurs and commerce.
Bright is also involved in mentoring others in ministry, including raising up young ministers to plant daughter-sister congregations. Bright and Christ Temple began such a daughter-sister church, Greater Overcoming Faith Ministries, in east Macon. It is pastored by Bruce Curry, who had been mentored by Bright at Christ Temple.
"He was mentored here and sent out from here with a number of others from our church to start the new work," Bright said. "They're celebrating 10 years of ministry in east Macon. They're an autonomous congregation but still connected through our relationship together. We hope to see more of this."

Six actresses and dancers create this incredible vision of hardship, sadness, contradiction, helplessness and solitude.
Adapted from the work of the writer Nelly Arcan, who died at the age of 36, this production is directed by Marie Brassard, a long-time collaborator of Robert Lepage, and premiered in Montreal in 2013 to widespread acclaim. This staging in Japanese features Yasuko Matsuyuki and an all-star local cast of actresses and dancer, who fully bring to life the emotional, linguistic, physical power of the play.


The model-turned-actress is about to turn into something else.
It takes cojones to totally change your career path, so it's a good thing Cara Delevingne has them. The model-turned-actress has never been afraid to take risks, and she just announced a new project that we did not see coming. Ready for this? Get your reading glasses ready!
Today, the newly platinum beauty made a major announcement via Instagram. In what she called a "pinch me moment," Cara told the world that Mirror, Mirror her debut novel, will come out in October. Yes, a novel! And here we thought models-becoming-photographers was the trend to beat.
According to Cara's note, the book will tell the "twisty" story of three sixteen-year-old girls. Steel yourself: there will be a major plot twist worthy of "scary music." What's more, the author would like to start a virtual book club where she and her fans can hash out the following: "self discovery, friendship, pain, triumph!! Being a teenager!! The experiences that shape YOU!" Sounds pretty juicy, right? If you're ready to join the book club to beat, you can pre-order Cara's book this very minute.
So, did Cara actually write the book without help? Well, there's been some speculation about that. But, la la la, fingers in ears... we'd like to think she did. And that Kendall and Kylie wrote every word of Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia. It's a beautiful dream.


Joanna was delighted when Couleurs Maroc asked her to lend them some jewellery for their fashion pages in the January / February issue of the magazine.
The photography was by the fabulously talented Hind Chaouat and the stunning model is Souhaila Ennajar. The photos were taken at the very famous and chic Riad El Fenn, that recently featured in the Guardian Weekend Magazine.
In the lefthand photo Souhaila is wearing the beautiful new silver tassel Kenza Necklace made from Ethiopian style rings and Mauratanian pendant beads and hearts. On her wrist she has one of Joanna's signature leather and silver bracelets.
On the right Souhaila is wearing gold plated versions of the Malika bracelet and earings with Swarovski crystal beads.
Riad el Fenn does not sell Joanna's jewellery but the nearby Maison Arabe and Villa des Orangers both stock Joanna's creations. Otherwise you can visit the Joanna Bristow Jewellery website to see more of her designs.

Sen. Carlucci introduces bill to tax online companies for using people's personal data
Thursday, December 5, 2019 12:49 PM EST
Thursday, December 5, 2019 5:21 PM EST
State Sen. David Carlucci introduced a bill in Albany that would tax online companies for using your personal data.
Carlucci, who represents Rockland County, says the 5% tax on tech companies' gross revenue could then be returned to New Yorkers in the form of a rebate check at the end of the year, similar to Alaska's yearly oil dividend.
However, the plan has many skeptics, especially some Republicans in Albany, who bristle at the idea of a non-business friendly tax. Long Island Sen. Phil Boyle says the data tax could discourage tech companies from investing and calling New York home.
Boyle also says he doubts the tax would ever really be a revenue source for residents. He says the data is valuable, and New Yorkers should be compensated in some way for it.
Boyle also says that this bill is not the way to do that.
Carlucci says his bill is similar to others proposed in states like California, and that there will always be data collection and New Yorkers shouldn't be taken advantage of.
The bill is currently in committee up in Albany.

Offline October
Encouraging voluntary pauses from social media in teens
- Madi Mulick
Madi Mulick grew up in Seattle, WA and currently attends her public school virtually. She got her first phone in 6th grade for her birthday, ever since that day it has been in her pocket, in her hand, in her bag. The constant connection Madi, and almost every person living today, goes through on a daily basis surprised her when she came to the realization at Alzar School, where she spent 7 weeks straight without her phone. This was not her first awakening, but it was the most impactful. From heading from not having a phone straight to a global pandemic, where she was stuck at home with the only option of social interaction through the screen, Madi has been through a whirlwind.
"I have really enjoyed my time off my phone connecting with my peers and so when I was at home it royally sucked to communicate and keep up with all my friends through my phone."
– Madi Mulick
Madi realized she wanted to do something. To do this, she brought to her school a two-week challenge, called Offline October, where students were asked to voluntarily give up social media for a duration of time and attend a meeting with other students to discuss social media's presence in their life. The goal was to see how social media impacted students individually and hopefully, make a change in their daily usage.
Implementation of Project
The challenge the team faced was initially finding a time to begin the project that would work. They eventually found that any day is a good day to get off social media. So the team created flyers for posting to social media to advertise removing it from individual's phones. Madi worked with her school leadership team, where she holds the position of co-leader of the Community Membership and Sustainability Committee, to reach out to students and gain involvement. Madi and her co-leader partnered with their school Suicide Prevention Team to hold weekly Zoom meetings to discuss a number of things, including the outline, social media's presence, hopes and goals, and getting to know other students.
Results of Project
Madi and her action team were grateful to know that 76 people signed up and got off of social media.
"It was hard work, but it was worth it"
Madi and her team spent about 12 hours working on the project, which included reaching out to clubs, talking with teachers and administration, planning and organizing, advertising, and finally holding meetings with the participants of their project. Madi and her partner did the majority of the leg work but roughly four other people used their resources and helped propel the project further. Roughly 20 people attended the first Zoom meeting and roughly 55 people attended the second and wrap up meeting.
One participant gushed:
"I was so glad my girlfriend made me sign up, I was able to have personal conversations with my family and spend time with them that I would have on Instagram."
Overall, the team was proud of the people who participated and the impact of removing oneself from toxic situations. Madi and her team plan on continuing this project two more times throughout the school year in hope of having more people participate. They plan on eventually passing it down to younger classpeople to continue it after they have left the school. Additionally, they also plan on using Madi's earlier CLP ideas as projects for their school leadership class. These projects include outside clean ups, donation drives, and outdoor art sessions.
"I have some great ideas for Roosevelt that I know other students will be thrilled about, but we just have to put them into action."
Other leadership opportunities for Madi are all around her and she plans on taking every opportunity to strengthen her leadership skills to become proficient in leading in any situation.

Making sense
Many state and local officials struggle to communicate the business of government to residents, particularly when presenting information about how taxpayers'
Written by Relmond Van Daniker
Many state and local officials struggle to communicate the business of government to residents, particularly when presenting information about how taxpayers' money is allocated and spent. Traditionally, financial information has been presented in forms accessible only to trained accountants — reams of information, which, though vital, have little meaning for the average person. In response, some states and local governments are adopting citizen-centric reports to more easily and effectively communicate financial information to residents.
This year, the Alexandria, Va.-based Association of Government Accountants (AGA) surveyed the general public on the effectiveness of government fiscal reporting. A vast majority of the respondents, 89 percent, said that, as taxpayers, they are entitled to transparent financial management information, and 57 percent said that government has an obligation to provide it. They further indicated that government is failing to meet its financial management reporting needs, and that poor performance has created a problem of trust between residents and their governments. The survey showed that governments need new innovative means of communication to overcome those challenges.
The AGA's Citizen-Centric Reporting Program is intended to foster innovative means of communication. The program is part of AGA's "Advancing Government Accountability" campaign, which educates policymakers and the public on governmental transparency, and urges local and state officials to explain their financial workings to the public in clear terms. The Citizen-Centric Reporting Program is a practical element of the campaign, encouraging the use of snapshot reports of government finances to supplement traditional financial information.
Citizen-centric reports detail government finances in a visually appealing, clear and straightforward four-page document. The standard format shows community information — such as population figures, regional characteristics and government goals for the community — on the first page, and the second page presents a performance report on key missions and service. The third page details cost and revenue information, and the fourth looks forward to the year ahead.
In late June, South Carolina became the latest government body to issue a four-page snapshot of its finances. The report drew attention from the public and was welcomed by groups such as the South Carolina Policy Council, a local think-tank focused on advancing the principles of limited government and free enterprise.
Recently, the Department of the Interior became the first federal department to complete a citizen-centric report, and AGA officials expect the Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast Guard to follow. All state and local governments can easily implement the standard reports to share their valuable financial information with residents.

What are Liposomes in Liposomal Vitamin C?
Liposomes are spherical-shaped vesicles that compose of one or more phospholipid bilayers that closely resemble the structure of cell membranes. The ability to encapsulate hydrophilic or lipophilic drugs has permitted these vesicles to become useful drug delivery systems, such as in the case of liposomal vitamin C.
Liposomes are composed of naturally-derived phospholipids plus mixed lipid chains, like egg phosphatidylethanolamine and pure surfactant components like dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOP).
The name liposome derives from the two Greek words' lipos,' which means fat, and 'soma,' means body. They can vary in size from 0.025 micrometers (µm) to 2.5 µm vesicles. To determining the half-life of these vesicles, both the size and number of bilayers present within it are considered as both of these properties play a vital role in explaining the drug encapsulation volume of liposomes.
To Study Liposomal Vitamin C, How to Make Liposomes
One can make Liposomes (lipid vesicles) by hydrating the lipid cake or lipid film, and stacks of liquid crystalline bilayers become swell and fluid. The hydrated lipid sheets separate during agitation and self-close to create large, multilamellar vesicles (LMV) that prevent linkage of water with the hydrocarbon core of the bilayer at the edges.
Once these particles have been made, decreasing the particle size needs energy input from sonic energy (sonication) or even mechanical energy (extrusion). The features of lipid formulations can change depending on the composition (anionic, cationic, or neutral lipid species); however, we can use the same preparation technique for all lipid vesicles irrespective of form.
The general elements of the process include hydration with agitation, preparing the lipid for hydration, and sizing to a homogeneous distribution of vesicles. So, now you can better understand the liposomal vitamin C after you have an idea about after liposome formation.
What are Liposomes in Skin Care?
Liposomes products like liposomal vitamin C have great importance in the skincare department. They are nano-sized particles similar to biomembranes and have an incredibly high affinity for the skin. Liposomes can easily penetrate through the hard horny layer of the skin.
Based on this characteristic, a variety of active ingredients can be incorporated into liposomes to increase their absorption by the skin and so their efficacy. The fact is that liposome-encapsulation decreases the amount of the active ingredient needed for effectiveness compared to non-encapsulated, pure active ingredients. Examples of such encapsulated functional components comprise Ceramides and coenzyme Q10
What is Liposomal Spray?
Liposomal sprays like TearsAgain consist of soy lecithin that is an emulsifier. And due to its makeup, it enables oil layers of the eye and the water to work together. They are as valuable as liposomal vitamin C.
Liposomal sprays are made to regulate evaporative dry eye symptoms (EDE). EDE comprises approximately 80% of dry eye cases in people with about 20% suffering from aqueous deficient dry eye. It means that in 80% of the dry eye patients, water drops will not work.
It can cause by Dry eye deficiency of the lipid layer of the tear film that generally acts as a seal for the watery aqueous layer, saving it from evaporating.
TearsAgain offers the spray to the eye that provides aid to repair the lipid layer. The shower is used to the closed eyelid from about 10 cm away. It would be best if you kept the eyelids closed for 10 seconds after this spray so that the liposomes settle on the eyelids and find the eyelid's edge. After blinking, they are distributed over the aqueous layer of the tear film, making instant relief to dry eyes.
What is Liposomal CBD OIL?
CBD is a cannabinoid derived from the unique cannabis plant that can have a beneficial effect on neurological problems and many other conditions.
Like liposomal vitamin C, Liposomal CBD is also a dietary supplement designed to offer healthful advantages without the "high" impact sometimes linked with this botanical. It includes an extract from the whole industrial hemp plant. This item employs a unique and unusual liposomal delivery system, exclusively.

Q: WCF Calling a service from a service I haven't seen this answered yet, pretty simple setup...
Question: I'm getting a deadlock, I want to know how to avoid it, given my setup.
I have ServiceA, which implements IServiceA, and ServiceB, which implements IServiceB. Both services are marked as "perSession" and "re-entrant"...
IServiceA supports this method:
DataA GetDataA( );

IServiceB supports this method:
DataB GetDataB( );

in my app, I call ServiceA's GetDataA( ) method, and inside ServiceA's GetDataA method, it opens up a proxy connection to ServiceB, and calls GetDataB( ).
GetDataB on the service end (not the client's end) executes correctly (debug log says so) but when it tries to return the data to ServiceA, it deadlocks.
I'm assuming this is because when I called into ServiceA from "user", it obtained the IO completion port "delivery lock" (or perhaps it's called the WCF per-session" lock. In any case, a lock is taken. I'm assuming that when ServiceB's GetDataB( ) is attempting to return the value, what's it's really done is flipped around the channel and is trying to call a receive method on ServiceA, which needs the lock and deadlocks.
 in every question I've read so far where people ask "is it okay to chain one service from another", every (stupid) answer has been, "sure! go ahead! nothing to it! services don't know if they're being called by normal .NET code or if they're being called from another service!". Annoying. There certainly "is something to it", even if it's a little tiny bit trivial.
I've read that I can't mark methods that return values as "one way". And marking them as "re-entrant"... should that work or not? I know if in my service, I call a callback, the lock is silently released. What if I call another service? is WCF smart enough to release the lock in that case as well?
I could go mark my services as "multiple" instead of "re-entrant", but I'm wondering (a) is the deadlock really from what I think it is, or could it be from something else, and (b) is there a better way around this?

A: Figured it out. And I must be honest, I started learning WCF by reading MSDN, but it droned on and on, so I moved on to some WCF online books (By Lowy & others). I should have kept reading MSDN.
I got this answer from one of the devs on the WCF team:
"The lock isn't happening at the transport layer, it's happening at the instance context layer. When a client in service A makes an outgoing request-reply call to service B, the reply isn't going back to service A, it's going back to the client for service B that service A is using."
That makes sense. But in addition to that information, I also learned this:
"If you use WCF services to call out of any method (call out = callback or another WCF service), and you're marked as "reenttrant", WCF will free the InstanceLock".
(Thus, the deadlock I'm seeing above is (probably) my own fault...)
I found this tidbit here:
https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/TechOff/254330-WCF-ConcurrencyModeReentrant-Confusion
And that led me to this valuable article here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa395214(v=vs.110).aspx
Quote:  In case of Reentrant mode, the InstanceContext is unlocked just before the service makes an OUTGOING CALL thereby allowing the subsequent call, (which can be reentrant as demonstrated in the sample) to get the lock next time it comes in to the service.

Artwork Description... THE ORACLE OF DELPHI entranced.


In what has been nothing short of bizarre, the Cleveland Browns acquired QB Brock Osweiler from the Houston Texans; to go along with a a 2018 second round pick and a 2017 sixth round pick for just a 2017 fourth rounder. The Texans clearly engineered a salary dump of Osweiler who had just finished a disastrous first season of a ridiculous and long-term contract off just a handful of start with the Denver Broncos the previous year. Clearly the Texans created an opening for their pursuit of Tony Romo who will either be cut or traded by the Dallas Cowboys. Making this matter even more insane is the fact the Browns reportedly are considering cutting Osweiler outright as they were clearly in this just for the picks. With the Browns having a crazy amount of cap space, they seem willing to take a $16 million hit for the draft picks and thus look in the draft for their passer. Either way, this is a rough ending already for Osweiler not only as a starter but maybe in the NFL as a whole.

È stato ministro e commissario europeo.

Provenienza e formazione
Il padre di Vredeling era un falegname. Vredeling aveva quattro sorelle.

Vredeling frequentò una scuola cristiana ad Amersfoort e poi il liceo a Baarn.

Dal 1950 al 1955 Vredeling lavorò come consulente socio-economico presso l'associazione generale olandese dei lavoratori rurali, e dal 1955 al 1956 svolse lo stesso incarico presso l'associazione generale olandese per il settore agricolo.

Carriera politica
Nel 1947 Vredeling si iscrisse al Partito del Lavoro.

Nel novembre 1956 Vredeling venne eletto membro della Camera dei rappresentanti. Venne successivamente rieletto più volte e fu deputato fino al maggio 1973. Fu portavoce del gruppo parlamentare laburista per le questioni agricole, si occupò molto della politica agricola comune. Si occupò anche di cooperazione europea e politica commerciale. Nel 1971 divenne ministro ombra dell'agricoltura e della pesca.

Dal 1958 al 1973 fece parte del Parlamento europeo. Si adoperò per la creazione di una federazione dei partiti socialdemocratici europei.

L'11 maggio 1973 Vredeling venne nominato ministro della difesa nell'ambito del governo presieduto da Joop den Uyl. Svolse l'incarico fino al 1º gennaio 1977. Promosse modifiche alla normativa sulla coscrizione e sull'obiezione di coscienza, estese le possibilità di esenzione dal servizio militare e accorciò la durata della leva.

Commissario europeo
Il 6 gennaio 1977 Vredeling entrò in carica come commissario europeo nell'ambito della Commissione Jenkins. Gli venne assegnata la delega alle questioni dell'occupazione e agli affari sociali. Fu anche vicepresidente della commissione. Rimase in carica fino al 6 gennaio 1981.

Come commissario Vredeling lanciò una serie di proposte per combattere la disoccupazione. Alcuni suoi progetti vennero ostacolati da colleghi della Commissione, in particolare da François-Xavier Ortoli e Christopher Tugendhat. Vredeling promosse anche una maggiore flessibilità dei sistemi pensionistici e un maggiore ricorso al lavoro part-time. Promosse il dialogo a livello comunitario tra i ministri degli affari sociali e le organizzazioni sindacali e industriali.

Attività successive
Dopo la fine del mandato come commissario europeo Vredeling svolse varie attività di consulenza. Fece parte di vari consigli di amministrazione e di vigilanza e fu attivo sia nel settore pubblico che in quello privato.

Vita personale
Vredeling era sposato ed ha avuto quattro figli.

Era di fede protestante.

Q: Bring up the "App Would Like to Use Your Current Location" dialogue again
Possible Duplicate:
Is it possible to call alert "Allow to use current location" manually?

in my app, all of the functionality is based on the users current location. The audience is everything else than geeky.
I think about the user starts the app for the first - as a user is not really sure about what it can do, s/he might be confused about the app's "Would Like to Use Your Current Location?" If he answers with "Don't allow", he won't get any data on the screen.
Now I handle:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
   didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {

    if (error.code ==  kCLErrorDenied) {
        NSLog(@"Location manager denied access - kCLErrorDenied");

        UIAlertView *alert =
              [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Location issue"
                                         message:@"Your location cannot be determined."
                                        delegate:self
                               cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [alert show];
        [alert release];
    }
}

Okay, the app has a Reload-Button. Assuming the user taps that reload button, he will not get asked again by the system to enable location based services.
How could I force iOS to ask for current location again?

A: There is no way you could force this dialog to show again. iOS will ask the user again on the next start-up of the app. By start-up I do not mean entering the foreground after the app was sent to the background.

A: Currently, the only fast way to do this is appears to be to ask the user to restart the app and then crash (or set the UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend key and launch Safari).  When the user relaunches the app, the dialog will be available.
This may or may not get your app promptly rejected when Apple reviews it.

Brave Brits strip off and plunge into icy water for Christmas Day dip
Stripping off for an icy cold dip in the sea is a Christmas Day tradition showing no sign of slowing up for daring Brits.
Brave beachgoers hit the water up and down the country on Saturday dressed in festive attire.
Those in Scotland refused to let the breezy 3C degrees weather put a halt to proceedings, even with snow and wind thrashing down not too much further north.
Donning a variety of Christmas hats, both humans and pets braved the cold waters kitted out in elf outfits and tutus to jump into the ocean.
People also gathered at Tynemouth Beach in the North East, where similar Christmas costumes were worn by swimmers.
A photographer was stationed at Portobello beach in Edinburgh to capture a man disguised as a Christmas tree, put a green and gold twist on Daniel Craig's famous Bond sea exit.
At the same beach was a woman who wanted a taste off all the action but only a slice of the freezing temperatures by diving into the sea in a wetsuit and Santa hat.
She can be seen taking a thrashing from the North Sea while wading through.
Kidnapped man sliced and burned with iron by thugs in chilling torture footage
Down in Brighton, East Sussex friends fully embraced the chill to pose for a photo with the channel above their waists.

A glass of red wine awaited all those who took part in the annual Christmas Morning swim in the Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park, west London.
Members of the Serpentine Swimming Club not only submerged themselves in wild water but raced in the water over 100 yards for a chance to lift the Peter Pan Cup.
The race has been held every year since 1864.
However, due to bad conditions, the dip at Felixstowe, Suffolk was called off at the last minute, leaving many disappointed spectators and swimmers.
'Sarnie girl' enjoys first Christmas lunch after lifetime of only eating cheese spread
In a series of tweets, St Elizabeth's Hospice, which was hosting the event, said their Christmas Day Dip was been postponed due to windy weather.
The organisation tweeted they were advised that the safety of the participants in the sea could not be guaranteed due to the adverse conditions.

It tweeted: "We are so disappointed that we have to make a change like this so close to the event date.
"It is not a decision we have taken lightly and your safety will always be our number one priority".
They added that they knew the postponement would be a "huge disappointment to many" and that "attending the event is a family tradition and so many people were braving the cold in memory of their loved ones".
