Why aren't these awesome shows available to legally stream in New Zealand yet?
Aaron Yap | Guest writer
There's a bevy of great new television shows that we can't stream in New Zealand without breaking the law, and Aaron Yap has had it up to HERE.
If there is one downside to this golden age of television on demand – where we're all losing our minds over no fewer than ten amazing shows each week – it's that we constantly crave more. It's created the perception we should have every new TV show available at our fingertips right this goddamn minute.
So in the spirit of this deeply entitled, instant-gratification-seeking generation, blissfully blind to the myriad complexities and commercial realities of running a business, let's calmly ask: WHY AREN'T THESE AWESOME SHOWS AVAILABLE TO LEGALLY STREAM IN NEW ZEALAND YET??
Li'l Quinquin
With the recent news of The Lobster director Yorgos Lanthimos turning to TV, I'm excited at the prospect of more foreign arthouse auteurs doing the same. In 2014, Frenchman Bruno Dumont, a consistently divisive, but always welcome voice on the festival circuit, gave us a glimpse of what this could be like with a bizarre-looking mini-series that's been compared to Twin Peaks and Gummo. Described as an "absurdist, metaphysical murder mystery" – and also Dumont's "warmest", "funniest" work to date – Li'l Quinquin could feasibly capitalise on the hype of the forthcoming, much-anticipated return of Twin Peaks.
Miss the radiant optimism of Parks and Recreation? Well, its co-creator Mike Schur brought his lovably goofy vision back to telly last year with this high-concept comedy starring Kristen Bell as a self-absorbed woman who dies and is mistakenly transported to a heaven-like afterlife. Ted Danson co-stars as her bow-tie-wearing guide and the architect of "The Good Place". Bell has received plenty of praise for the comic range of her performance, while Schur's deft balance of big-hearted lunacy, imaginative world-building and prickly moral quandaries should delight fans of his former show.
Hap and Leonard
It was only a matter of time before peak TV came knocking on the door of genre-straddling award-winning author Joe R. Lansdale. A couple of his novels have already made decent movies: the indescribable oddity Bubba Ho-Tep, and the pulp-perfect thriller Cold in July. Developed by Jim Mickle and Nick Damici, the creative duo behind the latter, Hap and Leonard is based on Lansdale's series of private eye novels about the sleuthing adventures of an ex-con (James Purefoy) and a gay Vietnam war vet (Michael K. Williams). The Justified/Banshee crowd will want this offbeat Texas buddy-noir on their watch-list pronto.
For those who consider Pamela Adlon's recurring acerbic presence on Louie one of the unsung strengths of the show, Better Things definitely could be the ideal showcase for her talents you've been waiting for. Produced by Adlon and Louis C.K., this unsentimental, semi-autobiographical look at the trials and tribulations of motherhood in Hollywood earned solid raves and appeared on many end-year lists of 2016, but still hasn't materialised here.
[Editor's note: In a shocking twist of events, I have been informed that Better Things is in fact coming to Lightbox in April. Completely unplanned, we swear.]
Andy Daly's adaptation of the Aussie show Review with Myles Barlow has been one of the best-reviewed comedies on television since premiering in 2014. Its clever premise, centering on a professional critic (in Daly's version, Forrest MacNeil) who reviews life experiences at the request of his viewers, is fertile ground for pitch-black comedy gold. If you like your laughs on the unhinged and cringey side, MacNeil is probably someone you need to be acquainted with.
Not that I place much stock in YouTube comments, but someone's suggestion that Patriot "looks like Homeland if it was directed by Wes Anderson" did make me take notice. Patriot could be a love-or-hate proposition: totally grating and affected, or wondrous and special. It's being discussed in the same breath as The Americans and Mr Robot in some circles, so one would be inclined to assume this loopy take on the spy genre will be an intriguing watch. Plum roles for Terry O'Quinn and Kurtwood Smith seal the deal for me.
What if Girls was a little less annoying and also an existential detective show? Search Party seems to answer this question, mixing narcissistic young New Yorkers and a bingey missing-person narrative into "one of the best shows of the year", declared Vulture critic Matt Zoller Seitz back in November. Ubiquitous indie mainstay Alia Shawkat is a good reason to watch anything, and the word is her performance as Dory, a twentysomething obsessed with the disappearance of an old school friend, is the best thing she's done so far.
Swedish crime drama Modus was on the verge of coming out here on DVD before the obscenely high classification costs prompted the distributor to pull it from release. Here's hoping someone else will pick it up. One of Sweden's most successful shows ever, it's an eight-part atmospheric "whydunnit" that looks like no-brainer catnip for viewers gripped by the Scandi-noir likes of The Killing and The Bridge.
As far as I am aware, this AMC show, which was cancelled after one season in 2010, has strangely, and mysteriously fallen through the cracks. A pre-Homeland journey into the shadowy world of the intelligence community, Rubicon was a true cult item: it suffered from poor ratings, but those who tuned in adored its low-key, '70s-conspiracy-thriller vibe and intricate, intelligent writing. You can't officially stream or buy it on DVD or Blu-ray anywhere in the world. A conspiracy, perhaps?

Between October 31 and November 2, the Socialist Equality Party (Partei für Soziale Gleichheit, PSG), the German section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, held its regular party congress in Berlin. Six weeks before, a special congress of the PSG adopted a detailed resolution on "The Return of German militarism and the tasks of the Socialist Equality Party." The regular congress confirmed this resolution and an additional resolution, which we publish here, summarizing the conclusions from the developments that had taken place in the intervening weeks.
2. Since then, the militarization of Germany has not only continued but accelerated. The highest levels of government, all political parties—CDU/CSU, SPD, Greens and Left Party—the media and leading academics are all involved. Not a day goes by without the media agitating against Russia, calling for a massive upgrade of the Bundeswehr (Armed Forces) and demanding a major military intervention in the Middle East. Their campaign is aimed at intimidating the public and silencing all opposition to war.
4. In his latest book, Will Europe fail?, former Green Party Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer advocates a sharper confrontation with Russia, which he accuses of seeking to expand into Eastern Europe and the Balkans. "And the Europeans are at odds as always, militarily weak and disinterested, lulled to sleep over the years in their peaceful cloud cuckoo land with their homegrown illusions about the blessings of European-Russian cooperation, Russian money and business," Fischer writes.
5. A particularly pernicious role in this militaristic campaign is played by the Left Party and the pseudo-left groups within its ranks. They are doing everything to undermine the anti-militarist sentiments in wider layers of the population and mobilize support for the government's war policy. Fourteen leading party members of the Left Party responded to the renewed military offensive in Iraq and Syria by calling on the federal government to sponsor a resolution in the United Nations to legitimize imperialist military intervention—with German participation. The pseudo-lefts inside the Left Party reject the US bombing missions as ineffective and call instead for a proxy war on the ground—by arming Kurdish militias and other ethnic minorities.
6. The PSG is literally the only political organization in Germany that opposes militarism. Immediately after the Special Congress in September, the PSG launched an offensive against militarism, holding a series of meetings, "Why do the German elites once again want war?" The most important meeting organized by the IYSSE was at Berlin's Humboldt University, which has developed into a centre of ideological preparation for war.
7. The IYSSE successfully rebuffed efforts to censor the event politically by the university administration, which had sought to make provision of a room conditional to agreement that "prior to, during and after the meeting, members of the University are not once again maligned, e.g. on leaflets, posters, the Internet, or otherwise reviled as militarists and warmongers." This was a reference to criticism of professors Jörg Baberowski and Herfried Münkler, who play a key role in the ideological offensive for militarism.
8. The IYSSE refused to accept this condition and published details of the attempted censorship, declaring, "As a student group at the Humboldt University, we consider it not only our right but also our duty to oppose and condemn such views. This in no way stands in contradiction to the discussion of 'controversial issues on a purely scientific basis' as stated in your letter. Rather, it forms its very essence." In the end, the university administration undertook a retreat.
9. The meeting was a great political success. Approximately 200 people, mostly students, took part and attentively followed the lecture. While most had no revolutionary understanding of the causes of war and militarism, the meeting revealed that widespread opposition to war exists among students and workers. The PSG campaign against militarism has brought this opposition to the surface and provided it with an orientation.
11. Determining objective reality is only possible in practice. From this it follows that the party must systematically expand and develop its political and theoretical work in the present period of economic crisis, social tensions and military conflicts.
12. At the centre of the struggle against war is the ongoing analysis and exposure of political developments through the WSWS, a systematic turn to the working class and student youth and a permanent political and theoretical delineation of the PSG from all pseudo-left tendencies. The influence of these bourgeois, pro-imperialist tendencies must be systematically undermined in the working class.
13. "There can be no fight for socialism without a struggle against war and there can be no fight against war without a struggle for socialism," the International Committee of the Fourth International statement of 3 July 2014 reads. The struggle against war requires the unification of the international working class on the basis of a socialist program. The close collaboration with the other sections of the ICFI, especially in Europe, and the construction of new sections is a central component of the PSG's political offensive against war.

County preps for big election potential
Keith Roysdon
MUNCIE — As the presidential election drama plays out seven days a week on a national level, Delaware County election officials are preparing for the May 3 primary.
That preparation includes more times for voters to cast early, or absentee, ballots. Absentee voting is increasingly becoming a factor in elections, national figures show.
With ongoing contests in both the Democratic and Republican presidential races, it's hard to say if Indiana's primary will be an afterthought, as in so many election years, or if 2016 will be another 2008, which saw active campaigns and visits to the area from Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
In either case, Delaware County Clerk Mike King said his election and voter registration officers are trying to prepare for a surge in voter activity, including early voting.
"We'll be open (for voting in the county building) the last three Saturdays before the election because of the presidential election," King told The Star Press. State law requires the availability of in-office early voting for two Saturdays before the election, but the in-office polling place will be open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday April 16, 23 and 30.
Voters may also cast absentee or early ballots in the election office at the Delaware County Building, 100 W. Main St., weekdays beginning Tuesday, April 5 and continuing until noon on Monday, May 2, the day before the election.
In the meantime, Delaware County residents can register to vote until Monday, April 4. King said Tuesday that the voter registration office has seen "an uptick" in registration but said he didn't have specifics.
Presidential election years traditionally see more turnout locally, as voters who don't vote in city or county elections come out to vote for president. More than 35,000 people voted locally in 2008, for a turnout of 41 percent.
Sometimes increased interest in an election means increased absentee voting. In 2012, about 2,900 people voted absentee in the May primary, compared to about 16,800 who voted on election day. That was down from hotly-contested 2008, when more than 4,000 people cast absentee ballots.
King said he has so far received 150 to 200 requests for mail-in and traveling voting board absentee ballots in advance of the April 5 start of early voting. King, who is overseeing his second election, said that's higher than the number of requests at the same time in 2015 but added that wasn't surprising considering the uncontested nature of last year's election.
On a national level, more people are voting absentee than ever before. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Census figures show that nearly a third of votes cast nationally in 2012 were not cast at a polling place on election day, but through early voting or voting by mail.
With this year's elections, with county commissioner, county council and other races to be decided by voters, the county will have 57 polling places to accommodate voters in more than 70 precincts.
One change this year that King pointed out is the Precinct 50 voting place on Muncie's west side. The polling place will move from the Unitarian Universalist church to Northside Church of God, 1505 N. Tillotson Ave. The Star Press will run a complete list of polling places before the May 3 primary election.

To someplace else in the rain.
Sunny. Rain. Mist. Sunny. Rain and so on. We live in a giant hothouse. Our plants grow well. Our weeds grow well. The insects grow well. Too well. The dogs' hair gets curly. So does the humans hair. But, out skin stays nice, glowing and mostly unwrinkled.
The tomatoes. And, the peppers.
It is likely that sometime during the day, you will get rained on. You'll get wet. Be ready for it. Many of us — locals — don't fight it. A pair of shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops is about all we wear. If we get wet from the rain or extreme humidity we take our clothes off and jump in the shower for a quick rinse. Not in the street. What are you thinking? At home.
The tourists? Oh well. They fight it. Long paints in 90 degree heat and humidity. Some kind of heavy walking shoe because our streets are so rocky, and an umbrella. Mostly, they struggle. It does not look like any fun. That's what they take away from our fair city. We are hot, humid and wet.
Welcome to life in the summer. The rainy season. The storm season. And, lest we not forget, the hurricane season. We are right in the middle of it.
The rainy season also means you'll likely drive in and out of rain storms. Ours are often driven by the crescent in the river. Or, the direction from which they came. It can be storming in one neighborhood and sunny in the next.
That said, the picture. If I want to go from downtown (The French Quarter) to Uptown (The Garden District) I use what we euphemistically call the Claiborne Flyover. It's a place where you catch the interstate from downtown, get on the interstate, stay right, get off the interstate and still be on a Claiborne… in a different neighborhood. It's a time saver.
That's what I was doing, when a hard rain started to fall. So, I did a drive by. My kind. With a camera, not a weapon. The picture is the result. No worries about my being distracted. Auto everything. Put the camera on the dashboard. Press the button. Let the camera do its job. I look straight ahead into traffic. Still in control of the car. And, hopefully, of myself. Heh!
Such an interesting photo! I love the view through the drops! Could use a little moisture in my neck of the woods right now! 😦 We are hot and ridiculously dry! I never thought I'd turn to saying winter is my favorite season, but I think that may now be true.
I am so tired of living in the devil's teabag. I'm pretty sure that we should have stayed in NM, just moved a little further north.

FTSE 100 fades at end of positive week, with Arm lower after poor US technology updates
Disappointing results from Microsoft and Google take shine off market buoyed by Bernanke QE comments
A week when the US market reached new peaks ended on a more cautious note after disappointing results from a number of major technology companies.
Markets have been buoyant in recent days as the US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke suggested to Congress that any slowdown in its $85bn a month bond buying programme was not likely in the immediate future and would depend on the state of the world's largest economy. On top of that came positive results from healthcare groups and banks including Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.
But then Intel, Microsoft and Google all produced results below expectations, which took some of the shine off the week. Microsoft fell around 10% in early trading on Friday and Google nearly 4%, while the poor figures put UK technology companies under pressure, with Arm losing 23.5p to 897.5p ahead of the chipmaker's results next week.
Overall the FTSE 100 finished the day at 6630.67, down 3.69 points but up 86 points on the week. Investors shrugged off the continuing problems in the eurozone, with political uncertainty in Portugal and Spain, and continuing protests in Greece against the cutbacks agreed as part of the country's bailout agreement.
Mining shares had been supported for much of the week by Chinese data which showed GDP growth of 7.5% in the second quarter, in line with forecasts, and by a number of positive production updates. But on Friday profit takers moved in, leaving Rio Tinto 31p lower at 2917.5p and BHP Billiton down 11.5p at 1869.5p.
Among the day's risers IMI added 28p to £14 as Citigroup named the engineer as one of its most preferred stocks. It said:
We see further significant margin upside at IMI, driven by both mix and restructuring. A strong balance sheet and yield are both supportive, too.
National Grid climbed 10p to 774.5p as New York State - where the company has operations - forecast a surge in electricity usage as air conditioners were switched on during the current heatwave.
But Standard Life slipped 5.4p to 385p after rival Aviva, up 0.3p at 372.3p, poached one of its senior executives.
Euan Munro is joining as chief executive of Aviva Investors, which has £274bn assets under management, and leaving his position in the investments division of Standard Life. Aviva was also helped by a positive recommendation from Morgan Stanley:
Aviva is in the earlier stages of its balance sheet repair process. We believe that as it works to improve the fungibility of cash back to the centre in the medium-term the dividend can grow faster than earnings – driving a re-rating.
Among the mid-caps, software group Micro Focus International fell 8p to 759p after disappointing results from SAP. Analyst Roger Phillips at Sanlam Securities said:
The problem area remains Asia-Pacific, where revenues declined by 15% in headline terms. The main exposure within our coverage universe to Asia (Japan specifically) is Micro Focus (sell, target price:600p) with around 15% of group revenues from this region, due to the group being the number two player in the Cobol industry against Fujitsu. SAP and Micro Focus are both "horizontal" enterprise software players addressing multiple vertical markets and so we see some degree of read across. Micro Focus commented that Japan had been challenging at its full year results in June, and the year on year comparative for the first half of 2014 is extremely tough due to a one-off licence fee of $4m that buoyed up the first half of 2013. As a result, we see this as a weak spot that could get weaker for Micro Focus.
Defence group Chemring closed 22.9p lower at 298.2p after UBS moved from buy to neutral and cut its price target from 360p to 330p. Analyst Charles Armitage said:
We believe the implementation of the restructuring plan by the new management team is likely to drive an improvement in Chemring's profitability and cash flow, despite the headwinds from tough defence markets. We estimate there is further upside of around £5m-£10m to earnings, above the targeted £10m cost savings, from an improvement in execution across the businesses.
We are concerned about the continued uncertainty on the short term outlook for US defence budgets as sequestration has not been fully implemented. This presents a challenge to management efforts to restructure Chemring in the short term because of the short cycle nature of many of Chemring's businesses.
Finally Sirius Minerals had a bad week, with its shares subsiding 4p to 18.5p on Friday to make a 33% fall since Monday. The company wants to mine for polyhalite, a potash salt, on the North York Moors national park, but has been forced to delay seeking planning approval while it deals with growing environmental objections. An independent report by consultants at Amec was finally published, which said there was no economic benefit from the proposed development. Sirius objected, saying the report made no mention of the jobs to be created and the prospect of sales to China. But analysts at SP Angel said:
This is quite a damning review from Amec and the basis for their criticism seems to be the lack of an economic case for polyhalite – something we have been saying for some time.
There has also been a lack of clarity and certain degree of complacency from the company on the planning process where they have not been explicit that they need to demonstrate a fundamental requirement to show an exceptional need for this project because of being sited in a national park. The environmental impact assessment is also found to be lacking in fundamental baseline information.
There remains a lot of work to be done to convince the regulators with some basic work found lacking so far.

We Germans don't want a�German Europe
Germany has no taste for shaping others in its image – but we want a European Union that can compete
Where do we in Europe stand today? Three years after the start of the first assistance programme for Greece, and about three months after we agreed on a programme for Cyprus, the picture is mixed. On the plus side, there are many encouraging signs from the crisis-hit countries in the eurozone. Labour markets and social security systems are being reformed; public administration, legal structures and tax regimes are being modernised. These efforts are already bearing fruit. There is more competitiveness. Economic imbalances are shrinking. Investor confidence is returning.
Institutional improvements in Europe have increased the likelihood of sound budgets in future years. We have introduced more binding fiscal rules, brakes on national debt and a robust crisis-resolution mechanism that gives us time to pursue the necessary reforms. The next step is the banking union, which will further reduce risk, both for the financial sector itself and for taxpayers. Our efforts to regulate financial markets will ensure that those who make high-risk investment decisions are liable for any ensuing losses. In other words, we are restoring the link between opportunity and risk.
But there is also a negative side. There is widespread uncertainty among people in our countries. Young people in parts of Europe face a dearth of opportunity. People are losing their jobs because their country is undergoing a profound economic transition. And too often public discourse about the crisis is dominated by mutual recriminations and populist commentary. National clichés and prejudices, which we believed to be long overcome, are rearing their ugly heads again.
This debate is full of contradictions, not least where Germany's role in tackling the crisis is concerned. There is little consensus in Europe, either about what Germany is doing or about what it should be doing. Some commentators even claim that the notorious "German question" is back. It has been said that Germany is "too strong" to fit in, but also that it is "too weak" to lead the continent. Germany has been simultaneously accused of wanting to reshape Europe in its own image and of refusing to show any leadership. And even those calling for more German leadership seem to be doing so for contradictory reasons. Some want Germany to drop its resistance to debt-financed stimuli, claiming that this would help us to overcome the crisis. Others want even more fiscal solidity in exchange for Germany's solidarity.
The views on Germany's actual policies are no less contradictory. For example, voices outside the country have called for Germany to relax its "draconian" austerity policies while, in Germany, the government has been accused of not saving nearly enough, or even at all. As is so often the case, the truth is somewhere in between. We are working to achieve a reasonable degree of consolidation, to build confidence and thus to lay the foundations for sustainable growth in Germany and in Europe as a whole.
The idea that Europe should be – or even can be – led by a single country is wide of the mark. Germany's restraint does not just reflect the burden of its history. The truth is that the unique political structure that is Europe does not lend itself to a leader–follower dynamic. Europe signifies the equal coexistence of its member states. At the same time, however, Germany does feel a special responsibility towards the mutually agreed strategy for resolving the crisis in the eurozone. We are taking on this leadership responsibility in a spirit of partnership, especially with our French friends. Like the other countries in the eurozone, both big and small, we know how fundamentally important it is to co-ordinate our efforts closely if we want to overcome the crisis.
From the very beginning of the crisis we Europeans have pursued a joint strategy. This strategy aims to achieve the overdue consolidation of public budgets. But even more, it aims to overcome economic imbalances by improving the competitiveness of all eurozone countries. This is why the adjustment plans for countries that are receiving financial support call for fundamental structural reforms that aim to put them back on track towards long-term growth and thus secure sustainable prosperity for all. Sound public finances create confidence.
But sound public finances are not enough to ensure sustainable growth. In addition, we need to reform and modernise our labour markets, our welfare state, and our legal and tax systems. We have to make sure that all citizens of Europe enjoy working and living conditions that are not based on artificial growth bubbles.
These reforms will not take effect overnight. We Germans know this better than anyone. Ten years ago Germany was the "sick man of Europe". We had to tread a long and painful path to become today's engine of growth and anchor of stability in Europe. We too had extremely high levels of unemployment, even long after we started to adopt urgently necessary reforms. But without these reforms there can be no sustainable growth. Stimulus programmes based on even more government debt will only shift higher burdens on to our children and grandchildren, and will have no lasting benefits.
To create new jobs in Europe, we need businesses that offer innovative and attractive products that people want to buy. European companies can do this only if governments create the right conditions to help companies to achieve success in our increasingly globalised world. That applies not just to German businesses, but to French, British, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Greek companies as well.
The idea that Germans want to play a special role in Europe is a misunderstanding. We do not want a German Europe. We are not asking others to be like us. This accusation makes no more sense than the national stereotypes that lurk behind such statements. The Germans are joyless capitalists infused with the Protestant work ethic? In fact, some economically successful German regions are traditionally Catholic. The Italians are all about dolce far niente (delicious idleness)? The industrial regions in northern Italy would not be the only ones to bristle at that. All of northern Europe is market-driven? The Nordic welfare states, with their emphasis on social solidarity and income redistribution, certainly do not fit this caricature.
Those who nurture such stereotypes should look at recent surveys that show a clear majority of people – not just in northern Europe, but also in the south – in favour of combating the crisis through reforms, public spending cuts and debt reduction.
The Germans themselves are the last people who would want to put up with a German Europe. We want to put Germany at the service of the European community's economic recovery – without weakening Germany itself. That would not be in anybody's interests. We want a Europe that is strong and competitive, a Europe where we plan our budgets sensibly, and where we do not pile up more and more debt.
The key task is to create conditions that are conducive to successful economic activity, in the context of global competition and demographic trends that pose a challenge for the whole of Europe. None of these things are German ideas. They are the tenets of forward-looking policies.
Sound fiscal policies and a good economic environment are the only ways to gain the confidence of investors, businesses and consumers and thus achieve sustainable growth. All international studies confirm this, as do the European Central Bank, the European commission, the OECD and the International Monetary Fund – organisations headed, incidentally, by an Italian, a Portuguese, a Mexican and a Frenchwoman respectively.
And the policies of European governments are geared towards these objectives. Those European countries currently grappling with complex adjustment processes deserve our highest appreciation for the way they are reforming their labour markets and social security systems, modernising their administrative structures, legal systems and tax systems, and consolidating their budgets. We should have the deepest respect for the efforts they are making. Our reward – everyone's reward – will be a strong and competitive Europe.

Why does God care about sin? What is sin in the first place that God would give it that much attention? Some sins are obviously hurtful to others and it therefore makes sense that God, the Lover of mankind, would care about them. But others don't seem to hurt anyone and some might even seem pleasurable. What is the problem with those? Also, why did God put those specific commandments in place? What criteria did God use to select the commandments? For example, why is adultery, fornication or masturbation a sin? Why is judging a sin even if the person is actually guilty of the offense? We can shed light on all those questions when we properly define what sin is. The word sin in Greek is 'Hamartia,' which as we know means 'missing the mark.' But what does that mean? Which mark are we missing? The word 'hamartia' can be divided into two parts: 'Ha' and 'Martia.' 'Martia' comes from the word 'matyria' which means 'to witness.' So as a Christian I am supposed to witness for my God through my faithful good deeds. And these good deeds are possible since we are created in God's image. In other words, since I am created in God's image, I can witness to Him through my deeds. The 'Ha' in 'hamartia', however, is a negation of the 'martia.' So 'hamartia' is a negation of my witness to God. Meaning, it is falling short of being in God's image. It is to miss the mark, to err, to be imperfect. St. Athanasius says: "There he who had been 'in the image and likeness' was changed into something imperfect…" So, we are meant to encounter God, glorify God, witness to God through His Image within us. But sin keeps us from witnessing. So God's commandments are not chosen haphazardly. They are chosen that we may be granted life through them because sin makes me unlike God and therefore outside of God who is the Source of Life. Sin, in a sense, is spiritual poison. Judging is failure to love. I fail to be like God who is Love. I therefore miss the mark. Adultery, fornication and masturbation are also outside of God. We have already explained why these sins are outside of God in a couple of videos to which you can find the links in the description below.
Since the creation of humanity, God's image took a serious hit, if you will. This is pretty obvious during the time of Noah and throughout the Old Testament. But, of course, God didn't want to leave humanity erring and separated from Him. So after fulfilling His salvific work, God asks us to be renewed through baptism and receiving once more the Holy Spirit. In these sacraments, He recreates us. In regards to baptism, in John 3, Christ talks about us being born again through water and Spirit (being recreated). In Titus 3, St. Paul says that we are saved through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. So we are regenerated. In Acts 22:16, St. Peter talks about baptism having the power to wash away sins. St. Paul also in Romans 6, in discussing baptism, he says: "…that our old man was crucified with Him [in baptism], that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin." This is why in the Creed, we confess one baptism for the remission of sins, because we are renewed through baptism. It is a renewal of the corruption within us. Now, it is time to be perfect as our Father in heaven is Perfect; it is time to be retransformed by being once more in God's image and likeness. That is what St. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:18 that we are beholding the glory of the Lord in a mirror and are being transformed, through His Spirit, into His image from glory to glory. St. Cyril agrees, he says: "He [God] desires,  then,  the  nature  of  humanity  to  be renewed and  reshaped  into  its  original  image  by  communion  with  the  Spirit so  that,  by  being  clothed  with  that  original  grace  and  being  shaped  again  in conformity  with  him,  we  may  be  found  superior  to  and  more  powerful  than sin,  which  reigns  in  this  world,  and  we  may  devote  ourselves  only  to  the love  of  God." So why does God care about sin? Because, sin is something unlike Him, because it distorts God's image in us and therefore separates us from Him. It is a spiritual poison that separates us from the Source of Life. Its wages therefore lead to death. But, God wants us to live. He created us for immortal life. He therefore gave us the sacramental life of the Church that we may be retransformed and abide in Him once more. Remember know your faith, live your faith and teach your faith and glory be to God forever, amen.
Why did God plant the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil?

Neurology meets high-tech in this gripping science fiction novel
Just imagine. You've landed at a small regional airport somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. The world has gone silent. There's nothing but static on every channel on the radio. The body of a man in a jumpsuit lies sprawled on the tarmac, and human figures inside the terminal are motionless. Is this beginning of a dystopian tale? Will people everywhere be victims of a mysterious pandemic? Or is something else happening here?
Dead on Arrival by Matt Richtel
@@@@ (4 out of 5)
In Matt Richtel's debut novel, Dead on Arrival, something else is definitely going on. As will quickly become apparent, what appears to be a pandemic is somehow related to a top-secret project at Google. There, a small team of brilliant engineers is exploring the connection between information overload, memory, and attention. Has the experiment gone awry? We'll find out.
Neurology meets high-tech
Dead on Arrival is loosely based on contemporary neurological research that is turning up disturbing findings. The information overload to which so many of us are subject through our mobile devices and social media is a problem on many levels. First, the information glut that keeps us glued to our screens can impair working (short-term) memory. Second, information overload is causing many of us to suffer from decision fatigue. Third, as The Economist has noted, "information overload can make people feel anxious and powerless: scientists have discovered that multitaskers produce more stress hormones." Lastly, our marriage with social media may be driving us apart, causing us to drift ever closer to political extremes (although some studies question this assertion). Matt Richtel has built his novel around these questions, speculating that the potential exists for electronic media to impact us in far worse ways. When neurology meets high-tech, the results aren't all likely to be pretty.
Matt Richtel won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of articles at the New York Times about distracted driving. He later wrote a bestselling nonfiction book on the topic, A Deadly Wandering.

'IF THINGS get dicey Vere becomes a compulsive eater and he truly balloons in body weight, ' stated Sir David English, Lord Rothermere's great editorial panjandrum. 'once the Mail on Sunday had been clearly likely to be a disaster, before it had come out, I was summoned going to discover him in New York. We met for break fast when you look at the dining-room of this Carlyle resort. They've sort of serve-yourself morning meal, so we began with melon or something like that then we'd eggs. Vere ate three cooked breakfasts, and had been nonetheless consuming them when they introduced coffee at 11 o'clock, and at 12 o'clock we'd beverages, and we had meal. And I also never got regarding that dining-room the whole day, because after that we had some beverage and moved right onto dinner, and all sorts of the full time Vere had been agonising, 'just what should we do concerning this newspaper? Just what should we do?' ultimately I became made quite ill by not being in a position to leave that space.
'he'd appointed Bernard Shrimsley as editor but, like most proprietors, he's quite clever at safeguarding his or her own place. Shrimsley had introduced him towards staff, and from then on Vere had absolutely decided that Mail on Sunday was going to be an emergency, simply because they had been all grey males and grey ladies like Shrimsley. He said that I had become editor-in-chief and that i ought to return back and fire Shrimsley, that we absolutely declined to accomplish, since there were only five weeks to go prior to the launch and it also won't look good and, secondly, exactly what is the point if Shrimsley's grey men and grey women were still truth be told there? I really couldn't get rid of 100 reporters and change all of them in only five weeks. Today, obviously, Vere can and does say: 'we urged English to fire Shrimsley, we informed him to in Carlyle Hotel, but howevern't get it done. English moved weak on me personally on essential minute.' It's very untrue, naturally, but about if the Mail on Sunday started initially to turn around he ended consuming their 20 dishes each and every day.'
Tales about Vere Rothermere tend to be inevitably occur similar places; either grand ones - accommodations in New york, Paris or Vienna - or otherwise vaguely sybaritic: a boat from the south of France, a villa in Jamaica, a spa in Kyoto. This vital conference, anticipating the failure of their brand-new Sunday newspaper, happens maybe not in a boardroom, if not in an office, but on Carlyle, the hotel closest to his Fifth Avenue apartment. Its characteristic of Rothermere, also, which he had previously arranged to generally meet the complete staff of their new venture and intuitively detected, between pleasantries, a dearth of talent. And characteristic to ascribe so much value into the editorial voice for the newsprint. Sensing a mis-launch, he agonises over a 16-hour marathon break fast perhaps not utilizing the board and/or marketing division however with their most reliable editor.
He's the very last of this appropriate English press lords: this is certainly what folks inform you first about Vere Rothermere. After which they invoke a summary of brands, some not English, as prototypes: Northcliffe, Beaverbrook, Harmsworth, Astor. In the event that you mention that Rothermere was partially raised in the us, is the grandson of a person when urged to simply accept the Hungarian top of St Stephen, uses most of the entire year in Paris and Kyoto, and containsn't, for income tax reasons, spent a lot more than ninety days annually in Britain because the 70s, they respond back, amazed and indignant: 'Really, I saw him right here just the various other time.' This illusion of omnipresence ended up being one thing I'd noticed along with other proprietors. Perhaps because their visits with their papers are disproportionately predicted, and afterward a great deal discussed, a three-day examination feels as though a fortnight.
The third Viscount Rothermere is outwardly the essential traditional English press lord, but probably the just one whom devotes any time to introspection. For many their superbly tailored suits, he's an authentic thinker and amateur poet, enthusiastic about Zen Buddhism and also the paranormal, a reader of runes just who defines himself as 'a pupil of human nature', which seems to imply connoisseur of person foibles. He is the grandest manager to look at; tall, nobly built, with streamlined grey locks. At 63 he strangely resembles Babar the Elephant, the King of Celesteville. He's got the aristocrat's affectation of pretending, every so often, to be hard of hearing, so persuasive his people to repeat their remarks. He walks, as many wealthy people do, in a somewhat swaying method as though he's simply stepped right back to dry-land from a large yacht. He's got sophisticated and courteous great manners. As soon as expected which social course he reckoned he belonged to, he replied unhesitatingly: 'Nobleman'. And yet he's frequently diffident, and his readiness to initiate lengthy silences unnerves buddies and colleagues.
Unusually for an owner, he really loves events. 'he is really a nightbird, ' says the publisher and hostess Sonia Sinclair, who's godmother to Rothermere's boy, Jonathan Harmsworth. 'He loves dancing. If there's an event going he'll be indeed there, but later. He'll turn-up at a cocktail party at nine o'clock, just when anyone tend to be leaving, and say: 'Where are we going on to today?' '

The decision to add new ale to our little family was not made lightly. We chatted with our community of Hopheads, debated at the brewhouse and did our fair share of research. The outcome felt natural- we would introduce a permanent IPA to our range. It's a reflection of our past and also our future, and is our unique take on the style.
Sitting alongside Pale Ale, our IPA will deliver big, rugged hop flavours. You can expect an aroma of passionfruit, grapefruit and a touch of aniseed spice. A smooth round palate, which is soft in the middle, delivers a long bitter finish that leaves you wanting a little more.


Sleep Mode for my Nokia Lumia?
Hi. I'm sorry if this has been asked a lot but I couldn't find any answers. I'm looking for a sleep app, so I can listen to my audiobooks for a certain length of time, say 30 mins, and then the phone will sleep, saving my place in the book. Like the audible app does. My transfered books fall into the music category on the phone and I really need something so I don't have to rewind/fast forward for hours at a time to find my place. Is there anything for that?
Re: Sleep Mode for my Nokia Lumia?
What your asking is akin to a lock screen time out (where the phone screen turns off automatically), the max it goes upto is 30 minutes however the app may continue playing in the background. The one way round that is maybe stop audible from playing in the background via settings or battery sense in Windows phone 8.1, but that will also mean the app will stop playing when you switch to a different app or go to the start screen. Other than that I am not entirely sure if you have any other options (i haven't used audible personally).

The Brazilian-born model will appear in fall television ads for the contemporary brand and a print campaign that breaks in September magazines.
CAMILA ALVES GETS HITCHED TO MACY'S: Newlywed Camila Alves snagged a new husband in Matthew McConaughey and now has a new gig as brand ambassador for the private label I.N.C. International Concepts brand at Macy's. The Brazilian-born model will appear in fall television ads for the contemporary brand and a print campaign that breaks in September magazines, in addition to online and in-store components.
"When Macy's approached me about this, I told them we need more than a meeting in New York. I had the team to my home in Austin, cooked some food and had some wine. They've got to really like me — it's a big partnership," said Alves, who hosted the third season of Bravo's "Shear Genius" in 2008.
This story first appeared in the July 2, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The wine apparently worked, as Macy's is betting on Alves' multihyphenate appeal as an actress, television host, fashion entrepreneur and mother of two children — in addition to her elevated Hollywood profile as wife of McConaughey.
The duo's June 9 wedding was splashed across the cover of People magazine recently.
"Camila has a beautiful, multiethnic appearance that will appeal to a diverse customer base. She's on the red carpet, but she's also a mother. It's an incredible package that will deliver star power to our star brand at Macy's," said Nancy Slavin, senior vice president of merchandising at Macy's Merchandising Group. The I.N.C. brand, which includes apparel, shoes and accessories, is sold in all 845 doors of Macy's.
Alves and her mother market two lines of handbags under their Muxo label, encompassing a high-end range that sells at Nordstrom and a lower-priced collection that sells on QVC under the Muxo by Camila Alves moniker. Alves is planning to launch a midpriced bag line aimed at department stores. "The product is pretty much ready, we're just working out the details," she noted.
