Red Hat Acquires Permabit Assets, Eases Barriers to Cloud Portability with Data Deduplication Technology
Red Hat to enhance cloud-native and Linux container solutions with Red Hat Enterprise Linux-ready data deduplication and compression portfolio from Permabit
RALEIGH, N.C. — July 31, 2017 —
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that it has acquired the assets and technology of Permabit Technology Corporation, a provider of software for data deduplication, compression and thin provisioning. With the addition of Permabit's data deduplication and compression capabilities to the world's leading enterprise Linux platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat will be able to better enable enterprise digital transformation through more efficient storage options.
With the addition of Permabit's data deduplication and compression tools to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat will be ready to support these organizations as they seek to derive a more efficient storage footprint to power business innovation.
Jim Tottonvice president and general manager, Red Hat
As more enterprises move towards adopting the efficiencies offered by digital technologies like Linux containers and cloud computing, being able to run these services and store the resulting data requires new storage needs outside of what is offered by traditional storage technologies. Storage efficiency is a key piece in addressing these needs, particularly with the emergence of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) which blends storage and compute onto a single x86 server. Enterprise-class, open source solutions can help to address the storage challenges posed by these digitally transformative technologies by using software to increase the amount of storage available to applications without increasing the amount of physical storage.
With Permabit's technology, Red Hat can now bring powerful data deduplication and compression features into Red Hat Enterprise Linux itself, which will also enhance capabilities across Red Hat's hybrid cloud and storage technologies, including Red Hat OpenStack Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat Storage. Consistent with its commitment to delivering fully open source solutions and upstream-first innovation, Red Hat plans to open source Permabit's technology. This will enable customers to use a single, supported and fully-open platform to drive storage efficiency, without having to rely on heterogeneous tools or customized and poorly-supported operating systems.
The transaction is expected to have no material impact to Red Hat's guidance for its second fiscal quarter ending Aug. 31, 2017, or fiscal year ending Feb. 28, 2018.

Australia needs right tools to build path to innovation
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is desperate for Australia to be innovative - but do businesses have the technologies they need to truly transform?
QUT researchers are investigating which 'innovation systems' can help guide businesses to become more inventive and stimulate economic growth.
The project, A Theory of Innovation Systems, was awarded $380,000 in funding in the 2016 Australian Research Council Discovery Projects round.
"Increasing productivity and economic growth through successful innovation is a priority for Australia," lead researcher Professor Jan Recker said.
"Technology is meant to assist in this challenge, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully support organisations in becoming innovative.
"The point of the project is that no 'real' successful innovation system exists yet. There are some systems in use for innovation purposes but often they do not work."
Professor Recker, whose previous research has analysed why innovation systems attempted by businesses have failed, said ideas that initially seemed innovative could turn out to be more of a hindrance than a help.
"A good example of this is Starbucks' mystarbucksidea.force.com which encourages people to submit innovative ideas about how the company can improve its services or be more efficient," he said.
"While in theory this is a good way to develop more innovative practices, what it doesn't show is that the website generates many, many thousands of ideas.
"Someone, somewhere, using another system or process, needs to examine these ideas and if necessary progress them to the next stage. So this system really only does one part of the job."
Professor Recker said the project will develop and test a 'theory' of innovation systems to analyse which processes are likely to be most beneficial for organisations.
"Our results will assist the development of new systems to support innovation in businesses, the management of these initiatives to increase productivity and growth, and how to effectively asses the technologies that support innovations," he said.
"Innovation is a hot topic for business and government and an ongoing challenge that we will see more and more investment in as Australia strives to keep up with the pace of technological change.
"Our project is trying to understand what innovation systems are and what they are meant to do, but, importantly, it is also about building better ones that can allow Australia to flourish."

"A War Against You" is the sound of IGNITE taking a stand and delivering a record without borders or boundaries. The much-anticipated follow-up to the Southern California band's 2006 watershed moment, "Our Darkest Days", "A War Against You" affirms that IGNITE is still rooted in the energy and melodicism of hardcore's salad days, while proving themselves not merely a great punk or hardcore band, but a great band in their own right.
Formed in 1993 in the suburbs of Orange County during the height of Seattle Grunge and the Epitaph Records punk revival, IGNITE have made a career defying convention with against the grain music and thought-provoking, politically charged lyricism.
The Cave is a new, intimate music venue in Big Bear that promises to bring you up close and personal with its performers. Doors open at 6:30 pm Concert starts at 7:30 pm. Headliner at 9:00 pm.

Social enterprises are no different from other business models with a need to manage effectively operational and strategic risks. Frequently, for social enterprises, the customer relationship is often more complex than traditional customer supplier relationships. In many social enterprise contracts, the purchaser and consumer of a service are not the same person, which makes the transactional, service relationships and the associated range of business risks more complex and greater in number. As a direct result, robust risk management and risk assessment tools become essential for protecting the social enterprise.
and the consequences of the event occurring - the impact.
These are the fundamentals of any good risk management system and must be supported through regular objective review; valid impact assessment measurement and monitored mitigation interventions – just like any effective business.
So what are the risks on the top of the current Social Enterprise agenda?
Well, Brexit is somewhere at the top of that list, but in common with the rest of society and undoubtedly our economists and politicians, no one has any clear view of what the real impact will be. The only effective risk mitigation, excluding relocation outside of the UK, appears to be persistent operational scanning, maintaining structural and strategic adaptability. No way to run a business; but perhaps that is just where we are.
Linked to Brexit is the possibility of a diminishing migrant workforce and the assertion of almost full employment, with unemployment in Northern Ireland identified at circa 3.3% (June 2018). However, the greater risk, with its own opportunity, must be our unprecedented levels of economic inactivity, which is currently circa 30% in the Belfast area. Not intervening to engage this growing population in productive and rewarding work, may be one of the most serious social and economic risks we face at present.
The lack of any political agreement and a functioning Assembly and Executive has blocked the pipeline of policy and investment interventions with a detrimental effect on both social and commercial business growth opportunities. Perhaps a greater risk to social enterprise is the potential in economic austerity for the Public Sector to 'in-house' services driven by a protectionist agenda, less focussed on best social and economic value – something we have experienced.
In the policy and investment vacuum we are experiencing the potential for a hard Brexit, we run the risk of a new phase of austerity or indeed 'Brex-sterity', which could bring a social and economic tsunami of service demand with no additional resources/investment to meet the spiralling need.
This is just a few of the significant risks we all face and there are quite a few more that could be listed. I can't propose a 'silver bullet' solution other that within all threats we can find opportunity and through the process of identifying risk 'events' assessing their 'probability' and 'impact' we can manage our risk and find growth. Darwin got it right; the attribute that assures longevity is ADAPABILITY.

Sanches, A.A. 1999. EU Cooperation with Politically Fragile Countries: Lessons from Angola. (ECDPM Discussion Paper 11). Maastricht: ECDPM.
Angola's performance in managing aid funds has been one of the poorest among ACP countries. Prolonged civil war, weak institutional and management capacity, and bureaucracy are the three main causes of this poor record.
The EU has tried to adapt its aid programmes to the changing situation in the country. The volume and the type of aid provided in recent years clearly reflects the EC's efforts to adjust its decisions and behaviour to Angola's rapidly evolving demands. Emergency and humanitarian aid have significantly increased and, as a rule, the implementation of rehabilitation and development projects has suffered from the chronic internal crisis.
The aim of this case study, undertaken within a wider ECDPM study on "aid selectivity and performance criteria", is to identify the underlying causes of Angola's poor performance and to draw lessons from the ways in which the EU has responded to its needs and situation. It also documents the different views and expectations of a wide range of actors on EU cooperation practices and, in light of the ongoing negotiations on a successor to Lomé IV, it presents some alternative cooperation strategies that may help the EU to improve its cooperation with politically fragile countries.

Poems of Awakening by Beo Zafar & Asma Nabeel
Zahra Chughtai
The launch of a book of poems by Beo Zafar and Asma Nabeel, titled Beydaari, was held recently at the Arts Council in Karachi. The star-studded event marked the culmination of a long-held dream for both writers.
Actor/comedienne, writer Beo Zafar's effervescent persona has charmed audiences on screen as well as in her stand-up improv shows. Asma Nabeel has penned popular television serials like the blockbuster hit Khaani , Surkh Chandni and many others.

Hina Dilpazeer & Yasra Rizvi at the launch
The meeting of these two creative minds was quite serendipitous. They met over a film project for which Asma was writing the script. Beo Zafar was already the published authorof a book of poems, accompanied by paintings. "I have always thought in verse,"Beo Zafar told us. "So I had this collection of verse and I asked my friend, the painter Tabinda Chinoy, to pair her paintings with my poetry in this book tiled The Dreamer Awakes. And it had long been a wish of mine to have these translated into Urdu," she says. "I always regretted that I couldn't express myself in Urdu. It's my language and I love it."
Meeting of Minds
When Asma read the poems, she felt an instant connection. "It really touched a chord inside of me,"she recalls."I asked Beo Zafar if I could translate her work and she said, 'Ok. Do one and let's see.'She was in London at the time. I sent her the translation and I got a call at 1:30 am. I was a bit startled…was it that bad? But on the contrary, she was so excited and happy. She was in tears."
Anwar Maqsood
Sanam Saeed
Although Asma had no previous experience of translations, she and the poet had no creative differences. "It was almost like Asma had entered my head," says Beo. Asma had a similar experience. "It was like our souls connected," she says. "I felt I could really relate to the thought patterns and personal transitions in the book. As a cancer survivor, I have been through my own journey."
"I would not call it a translation," says Beo. "It is more of a transcreation. And it will reach many more people than the original."
"The feedback has been tremendous. It has been received with a love we could not have imagined," continues Beo. "I feel very humbled at the accolades we have received from people like Anwar Maqsood who said we have created something beautiful," adds Asma.

Warmer temperatures mean that you and your kids are going to spend more time outdoors, and whether it's organized sports or hikes through the woods, you need to take the proper precautions to stay safe. While the right apparel can keep you cool and your joints supported from strains and sprains, there are a few dangers in the natural world that are a little more subtle – but no less harmful.
One of these is irritating shrubs like poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. Everybody knows what the results of rubbing up against one of these plants looks like, but avoiding it in the first place can prove much more difficult. If you or your kids happen to develop a rash from these plants, it's best to know how to control it if possible and when to seek help from CareWell's urgent care centers when you need to.
Like other irritants that cause uncomfortable and painful reactions of the skin, poison ivy, oak and sumac contain a chemical compound that the body finds particularly harmful. Known as "urushiol," this substance gives the leaves of the plants a sheen that can appear oily or slick with moisture. While you'll have a hard time telling when urushiol has made contact with your skin, its viscous nature means that it can adhere to your body long after it has done its dirty work.
That's why it's so important to wash your hands, arms, legs and face every time you think you may have come into contact with poisonous plants. Not only can they hurt you in the moment, but if you happen to spread it to other areas of the body just by absentminded touching, you might be in a rough spot after a few days.
Remember: Leaves of three, let it be.
Even if you've had the good fortune to avoid poison ivy, oak and sumac for most of your life, you still know that an intense itching sensation is a hallmark of the rashes that develop from them. This feeling can be too much for some people, and while scratching might provide some immediate relief, it can actually make everything worse.
By scratching patches of the rash, you may pop blisters and create the perfect environment for a skin infection. This complicates the rash by a significant degree, and even after the whole thing heals, you may be left with marks from the places where you couldn't hold back.
So what can you do when the itching from poison ivy is too intense to do your job or just live your life? Emergency rooms aren't likely to see this as a life-threatening condition unless there are other medical factors in play, but CareWell's urgent care centers can connect you with a physician – and medication for the rash – in as little as 15 minutes.
Don't suffer through poison ivy, oak and sumac rashes this summer. Visit a CareWell urgent care center to save time and your skin.

Featured Coach: Sean Waxman, Part 2 - On Being a Coach
Coaching, Strength and Conditioning, Martial Arts, Cooking and Baking
Last week we spoke with Olympic weightlifting coach, Sean Waxman, about his competitive experience, how he was inspired to become a coach, and his dream for creating a team of international level weightlifters. This week the topics are training CrossFitters, the most common mistakes in weightlifting, and what makes a great coach.
For Sean, CrossFit has been a blessing. The exposure Olympic weightlifting has received as a result of CrossFit's success has brought him students and allowed him to essentially coach only weightlifting full-time. Sean is inspired by the competitive spirit of the CrossFit athletes he works with and wants to take them to the next level of their sport. "I train a lot of the top competitive CrossFitters in Southern California," said Sean. "I would love to continue to develop my reputation in that world and become the go-to person. Once they've gone through Mike's [Burgener] stuff, which is a great introduction, when somebody is looking for some specialty work, they're going to come to me."
But coaching CrossFit athletes comes with its own special set of challenges. Typically, CrossFit competitors are used to higher numbers of repetitions and weights that are not as heavy as what Olympic weightlifters train with. In addition, because of the broad range of skills that CrossFit incorporates, most CrossFit athletes have not taken the time to learn the nuances of the lifts.
When I get people coming to me that their first experience with Olympic lifting has been through CrossFit, they're all consistent – they all make the same mistakes. It's kind of ironic. Everybody's looking the same way. They do a very good job teaching what they want to teach, I just think some of the things they teach are wrong, or they're focusing on the wrong things. There's a disconnect as far as how to really develop that power that's needed to move the bar. I think part of it stems from the fact they're not really asked to lift very heavy weights. So in that case, you can lift a light weight a million different ways. The focus tends to be on the start and the finish of the lift. You don't pay attention to the process – the stuff that's in the middle. Because it's a light weight they're lifting, the mistakes aren't really magnified.
For Sean, what this represents is inefficiency of movement. Inefficiency of movement in CrossFit could mean all the difference between winning and losing a competition, because a movement could needlessly tire you out for what comes next.
If you're competing, even if you're not doing the Games, but you're competing with other people in the gym on a daily basis, if you calculate the work that's being done in the exercise, if it's a bodyweight exercise or a wall ball, the work being done in those exercises is nothing compared to the work being done with the barbell. If you're being inefficient with the barbell then you're wasting energy that would be better off spent with the other stuff you have in that WOD. If you have power cleans and then you have muscle-ups, you can get through those power cleans and have a very good time, but at what cost? If you're inefficient, then you have less energy for the next thing. If you can do these things efficiently, if you can lift the barbell efficiently, you're going to have a lot more in the tank for everything else. And that's really the biggest mistake that I see – that they're just really inefficient lifting the barbells. They do things incorrectly, because they can.
For those of you following along with Sean's Strength & Conditioning workouts or wondering what it is Sean tells his athletes when he is working with them, Sean had these two bits of advice:
Learn how to prepare the torso for lifting something quickly. Most people know the words. They hear the words – lumbar spine or arched back. Whatever those words that people say, but they don't tell them how. You describe an action without really describing what's supposed to happen.
Everybody comes to me trying to squat on their heels. Squatting in your heels isn't necessarily incorrect if you're doing a certain type of squat, but the weight on your foot is related to the angle of your torso. So, if your torso is inclined forward, which is fine in a powerlifting style squat, then your weight can be back, but if you're talking about the Olympic lifts, where the vertical torso is necessary, then in all the squatting action the torso should resemble the angle that it's at in the clean and jerk, which is as upright as you can – then you can't be in your heels. You can't squat on your heels if your torso is upright. You can't keep your knees back, your shins vertical and your weight in your heels if your torso is vertical. It's just not something that's a strong position.
For Sean, coaching athletes to an elite level is a long and potentially slow process. Sean is interested not just in creating quick and easy success for his athletes, but growing them beyond competing on the national level. As such, he creates a general program for his lifters to follow, but then tailors it to each individual athlete's needs.
I think there are very basic elements that need to be addressed with everybody and then as they progress certain individual needs will pop up and the training will be altered to meet that particular need. It's not necessarily a one size fits all. I think it's important for young lifters to do a lot of lifts and really form that strong technical base first. I'm constantly holding them back from lifting max attempts, because I think if you're not technically sound, your ceiling of improvement is going to be lower if you're pushing too heavy too soon. When you lift a max attempt you go to your default motor patterns, it's like fight or flight, it's a reaction. If your default is something incorrect then that's what you're going to do all the time when you're lifting a heavy weight.
One of the biggest problems I see, especially in this country, is we have very talented kids and they'll develop four or five years and they'll stop developing, stop improving because they're limited by some technical flaw. Generally the answer given is to get them strong, but at some point that's not going to work. To me it's really working the parts of the technique individually, the different parts of the pull, different parts of the positions, working them individually for a significant amount in the beginning, along with doing the full lifts – really spending the time and instilling the patience in my lifters to do things correctly. I don't know if that's a philosophy, but they have to earn the right to lift heavy weights. They earn the right by being consistent. When they show me consistency then that's when their intensities will start to creep up, but I'm not going to have a talented kid go out there and lift real heavy weights early on just because he can. There has to be a period of development. I'll probably lose kids because of that, but in the long run it's more important to me they're going to reach whatever their hundred percent of potential is. That's more important to me than a quick hit and to win some medals at the national level and then he'll be in the C group at an international meet. That's not what I'm interested in.
For Sean, all the passion he once poured into his own athletic career now comes out in his coaching. It is clear when interacting with Sean that the success of his athletes means more to him than anything else, whether that success be in CrossFit, Olympic lifting, or simply meeting their own maximum potential. Sean takes the title of coach seriously and has committed himself fully to his profession.
For those wanting to become coaches, Sean had this to share:
If you want to be a weightlifting coach, then you need to be a weightlifter at some point. There are some examples of coaches in this country who have not been weightlifters, but I can only think of one or two who have actually done anything significant in coaching the sport. I think you have to pay attention. You have to ask questions. You have to continually learn. Continually talk about what it is you're trying to coach, with other coaches, with other people. It's a lifestyle; it's not a part time thing. It's a trade. It's a skill. Guitarists play guitar all the time. They don't just show up at a concert and play. Their whole life is guitar. In my humble opinion, if you want to be a good coach, your whole life you should be coaching. Everything you do should revolve around coaching. It's too easy to become a coach, especially in this country. Because the barrier of entry is so low, I don't think people truly understand what it takes to become a good coach. You can go to a weekend, pass a test, and be called coach. In other countries, being called coach is an honor; it's like being called doctor or lawyer. It's a huge accomplishment. It takes years. In Russia and some of the Eastern Bloc countries it takes six, seven years to actually be designated a coach. So I think just respecting the profession, not dishonoring it by just spouting your opinions on things. Have some grounds. If somebody asks you why you're doing something with an athlete, you should always be able to answer that question. You should never do anything just because. And if you can't answer "why" on anything you do then you need to either not do that or go learn why.

Colorectal Cancer Screening Pill to Be in US Pilot Study

Check-Cap received CE mark for its C-Scan Capsule in January of this year, now the Isfiya, Israel-based company is setting its sights on the U.S. market.
Omar Ford | Dec 13, 2018
Check-Cap is getting one step closer to having its capsule-based screening method for colorectal cancer on the U.S. market. The Isfiya, Israel-based company has received FDA conditional approval for an IDE to initiate a pilot study of the C-Scan capsule.
FDA's conditional approval of the IDE requires Check-Cap to provide additional information to the agency and the company may begin enrolling patients immediately upon approval by the study site's Institutional Review Board (IRB). The trial will consist of up to 45 patients and it will be a single-arm study. Patients who are enrolled will be those considered to be of average risk for polyps and colon cancer. The study will also evaluate C-Scan's safety, usability, and subject compliance.
Ready to see the latest cutting-edge technology? Join us for MD&M West, Feb. 5-7, 2019 in Anaheim, CA.
Alex Ovadia, Check-Cap's CEO said FDA's conditional approval for an IDE is a significant milestone for the company.
"Following this conditional approval, we are applying for approval from the IRB and making sure we can start or initiate the pilot at NYU, which is our selected site," Ovadia, told MD+DI.
Here's how C-Scan works. After being swallowed in capsule form, the C-Scan system's ultra-low-dose X-ray technology is used to produce a 3-D map of a patient's colon. The system differs from capsule technology already on the market by eliminating the need for a bowel prep prior to ingestion and examining the colon in its natural state without distention.
The system produces a 3-D contour map of the colon that can be viewed in different ways to look for polyps, including a "tube" view a flat "fillet" view, or even the outside of the surface of the colon wall. There's other data from the system that may help clinicians detect polyps too, including Compton backscatter, X-ray fluorescence, and pressure data. If polyps are seen, a colonoscopy would likely be prescribed.
Early last year, Check-Cap began a clinical trial to obtain CE mark for C-Scan. The technology obtained regulatory approval in January of this year. The technology also has approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health. The company hasn't launched C-Scan in these markets yet, but is working on the commercialization path, Ovadia said.
"Moving forward, I hope this is going to become a larger and more compelling method that could support screening for many people," he said.

The Jewelry Hut offers consumers, our valued customers, the highest, authentic color gemstones. The Jewelry Hut expert jeweler buyer personally inspect all color gemstones to ensure they meet the stringent quality standards.
Due the rarity and unique visual properties, almost all color gemstones sold at fine jewelers an The Jewelry Hut Gemstone Jewelry Gallery Boutique are enhanced using various techniques. Many of these gemstone enhancement techniques have been used for centuries. Colored gemstones that have not been enhanced are very rare and command much higher prices.
The diamonds sold at The Jewelry Hut Diamond Jewelry gallery Boutique are not enhanced in any way, other than normal cutting and polishing.
The application of heat to enhance the color and/or clarity of gemstones has been a common practice around the world for centuries. It is part of the standard polishing and finishing process for many color gemstones. As such, it is accepted by jewelry industry and the American Gem Trade Association, or known as AGTA. The enhanced color and /or clarity of heat treated gemstones is permanent.
The filling of a gem material with an oil, wax, glass, resin, or other material, colored or colorless, to improve a gemstone appearance. This process began centuries ago by gemstone merchants who found that immersing emeralds in oil or waxes made them look clearer to the unaided eye. Today, this practice continues with many colored gemstones.
The use of wax, resin, or oil applied to exterior of a porous colored gemstone to protect the natural substance, and to improve sturdiness and appearance.
The alteration of a gemstone's color through the use of radiation. This is often followed by a heating process. The enhanced color of a irradiated gemstone is permanent.
Techniques for enhancing color gemstones, either detectable or not detectable, are continually being developed. These techniques may be difficult, or in rare cases, impossible to detect, even for the most sophisticated gemstone laboratory. The Jewelry Hut will work with gemstone jewelry industry groups and gemological experts who are committed to the identification and discloser of new and future gemstone enhancement techniques i order to maintain higher stringent quality standards.
While gemstones are durable, they require varying levels of care. For example, some gemstone are specially vulnerable to household chemicals and temperature changes. Cleaning color gemstones presents special challenges. While many gemstones should be cared for by following The Jewelry Hut gemstone jewelry care guidelines (as shown below), one should refer to The Jewelry Hut Gemstone and Cultured pearl Care and Enhancement overview to understand the care requirements for your specific color stone. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service.
After removing gemstone jewelry, clean it by following the directions on a nonabrasive gemstone jewelry cleaner. Make sure that the jewelry cleaner specifies that it is safe to use with your gemstone. Use a soft cloth to remove any remaining dirt or other residue.
Store your gemstone jewelry in a lined case or a soft cloth, so the gems do not touch each other or parts of the jewelry. Gemstones are harder than gold, silver, or platinum and can scratch the surfaces of your fine jewelry if they are not kept separate.
While it is true that gemstones such as ruby and sapphire are second only to diamond on the hardness scale, it is not a measurement of their indestructibility. It means that these gemstones are able to resist scratching almost as well as s diamond. Abrasive surfaces, harsh chemicals, and sharp blows can damage even the hardest gem. Your gemstone jewelry should be the last thing you put on when getting dressed and the first thing you take off at the end of the night. Store your gemstones jewelry carefully and they will be enjoyed for generations.

Miley Cyrus hopped off a plane in central Tennessee with a dream and an ivory dress, which can (maybe) only mean one thing: She got married?! And Liam Hemsworth is the groom! According to Instagram Story screenshots snapped by People, a party that resembled a wedding reception took place at Cyrus's Tennessee home on Sunday evening. Also in attendance was Cyrus's mother, Tish; her father, "Achy Breaky Heart" Billy; the Hemsworth bros, Chris and Luke; and her two sisters, Brandi and Noah. You can decipher by looking at the photos if this was all just a casual holiday shindig for the two families, but allow Sherlock Vulture will weigh in with three necessary clues: (1) Cyrus is wearing a lovely white dress, (2) Hemsworth is the only one in a tuxedo, and (3) there are many "Mr. and Mrs." balloons floating around. No foam fingers, though. This isn't 2013.
Update, December 26, at 4:10 p.m.: Well, these Instagram photos look pretty damn official, huh! Stopping short at flat-out saying, "We got married this week," Cyrus posted three photos of her and Hemsworth in their formal outfits, smooching and generally acting cute. "Ten years later," she wrote.
Update, December 27, at 10:05 a.m.: Cyrus went on a cute tweeting spree, which included thanking Mark Ronson and Nicholas Sparks for their wedding well-wishes. (Cyrus and Hemsworth met while starring in the 2010 film adaptation of Sparks's The Last Song.) Also, we have an "Uptown Funk" dancing video! The king of all wedding songs, truly.
Update, December 27 at 6:34 p.m.: Billy Ray Cyrus is the first of the extended Cyrus-Hemsworth fam to croak on social media that it was indeed a wedding, using the term in an Instagram caption of the reception. "Wedding wouldn't be complete without one shot from Dads out-dated blackberry camera," he wrote for one photo. "Love seeing all so happy." He added, in another photo: "Long live love !!!!!" Dad!!!!!

Hello people! Another Friday is upon us and it's another day for a post. Whoop! Who's excited?
How was your week? Mine was rather interesting. From preaching on Sunday for a youth service that was very impromptu to arguing with a colleague at work to getting qualified. It was quite an eventful week!
1. God is always speaking: So on Monday God laid someone on my heart which a follower had asked me to pray for because he had some issues and when I prayed I received a word of knowledge (wok) for that person (the person is my follower's friend). I don't know the person and I've never met or even had a conversation with this person. But everything God told me, I wrote down and then I contacted the follower and told her and she was amazed at the accuracy of the WOK. Lol God even told me what the guy studied in school and I just sat there marveled at God's awesomeness like wow! The funny thing is at first, when God told me and I started writing down, the devil tried put doubt in my heart like "it's just your mind saying these things" but I pushed it aside because I knew better than to trust the enemy . I just thought to myself "Last last, the babe will say no and I will move on and say God loves you, maybe I'm still sharpening my hearing lol". And it just made me realize that a lot of believers still think God does not speak to them meanwhile, God is always speaking we are the ones not listening. Even in the silence, God is simply saying wait, that's still speaking! Most times we just allow doubt cloud our minds and we don't fully trust God. As led by the spirit, one of these days I will do a post about how to hear God because I get this question a lot. Just know that God is always speaking!
2. Faith is holding on to God's word: I had this conversation with a friend also in this week, and we were talking about faith and how sometimes we can have faith yet nothing will happen. We then talked about the book "ROYALTY" by Bolatito Idakula and how she had faith yet her child died. (you should read this book if you haven't read it) We eventually concluded that to be sure of your faith it has to be based on a word you received. A lot of people only claim faith when its convenient, like when they want a car or a house, lol. It's okay to have faith but what is God saying? Are you listening? The next day after we had this conversation my exam result (ICAN) was released and well,well, well, ladies and gentlemen put some RESPECK on my name! I'm now a qualified accountant! Whooopppp!
Now the story is, I started this professional exam back in Uni and in 2014 I failed some papers in a particular stage and I just stopped writing because I had never failed before and my biggest fear was failing (whether exams or not). But around 2016 I received a word from God "no more failure" and I held on to it. I initially thought it was for me to proceed with Masters and I even went for an entry exam (that I passed) but towards the end of the year (2016) I clearly knew God was asking me to continue the professional exam again. I rebelled at first because you see, I was afraid of failing yet again but God reminded me of the word and also used it to teach me to overcome my fear of failure. He taught me that the worst thing that can happen is to fail, that I cannot die because of an exam or even a business and it already happened! I already failed! So there's nothing to be afraid of anymore! Wow! I held on to it and decided to continue the exam and I never failed any exam anymore. Today I'm qualified! Hold God accountable based on his word. It might be a bible verse but to be solid on your faith it has to be based on his word. I have another testimony on how I held on to God's word (this was even a bible verse) to get a job but this will be in another post. The point is be sure what you want is what God wants for you.
3. Anger ruins everything: So the day the result was released, (this same week) I had a very big argument with a colleague at work and boy it was messy. I eventually regretted why I brought myself so low. The story that led to the argument is complicated but I recall I was called rude and that I was harsh. I think why I was hurt the most was the fact that another colleague said he was disappointed in me knowing the kind of person I portray on social media. This one entered my bones. Lol I actually started analyzing everything after it happened and I realized I acted too soon and I let anger ruin everything. It wasn't even because of what the person said, I always thought I was a civil person and I was seriously convicted by the Holy Spirit. Although I and the person that had the issue have now settled but when we had our "resolution" talk I realized I took it too far and if I had listened to the holy spirit when he initially asked me not to say anything, everything would have ended differently. As the person spoke to me I just sat there in my mind like, wow anger has ruined everything, we were both angry and we let it get to us. Anger really ruins everything because the people present that day will not forget that I call myself a "Christian" but I could do such a thing. Yes God will forgive but people will remember and I would never like to be a hindrance to why someone will reject Christ. That's why as Christians we really need to check our lifestyle because people are watching.
It's funny I actually used to think I was above "anger" and that if I'm pissed I will just walk out but recently I've been praying some "dangerous" prayers (lol) about the refiner's fire and God cleansing me all through and whola! God shows me I still have anger issues to handle! Lol be careful what you wish for. Haha. Just kidding. At the end of the day we all have flaws even for those of us who talk about God. I just want more of this fire to burn away all the impurities and infirmities I have! I'm here for this Abba!
Talking about refiner's fire, have you watched my recent youtube video? Please click Here to watch.
So there you go, 3 impeccable lessons learnt this week. What was your week like? What's the major lesson you learnt? Share in the comment section, I'll like to know.

Hello, this is my first time on your page so I'm still playing catch up. Have you shared the post about "Hearing from God". It's quite important cos sometimes one gets confused whether it's God speaking or one's "church mind".
Hmmmm. I pray God helps us all. Really, just when we think we are doing fine. Something comes to humble us.
