The Great White Throne Judgment

By Mike Bradley Before we get the new heaven and new earth, there is one more event that must take place - the Great White Throne Judgment. In my last article, Satan is Let Loose One More Time, you saw that Satan will end up in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone forever and ever - never to bother, harm or tempt humans ever again! Now what happens to the rest of unsaved humanity? They will all come before God in what is called the Great White Throne Judgment. This event has to be the most disturbing and most bothersome event in all of Scripture. Before this happens, the Bible tells us that all the unsaved people are kept in a place called Hades (Hell) until the Millennium Kingdom is up. Hades (Hell) is a temporary place of torment that these souls are kept in until they have to appear before God in this final judgment, which will determine their eternal fate once and for all. The New King James version calls this place Hades. However, the Original King James version calls this place Hell. Either way - Hell or Hades is a temporary place of torment where all unbelievers go to before this judgment comes to pass. Here is the verse giving us the details on what will be happening in this judgment of the unsaved.

"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire." (Revelations 20:11-14)
Remarks 1. The above verse refers to a "second death." The first death is when the unsaved are thrown into Hades after they physically die and are kept there until the Millennium Kingdom is up. The second death refers to when the unsaved are cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone where they will remain for all of eternity. Notice that the above verse definitely establishes that these unsaved people are in kept Hades until this judgment comes forth. The verse says that "Hades delivered up the dead who were in them." 2. After this final judgment is pronounced, not only are the unsaved cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, but Hades itself is also cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. This would thus be a "merger" of Hades and the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Not only is God going to merge His heaven with our earth when we get the new heaven and new earth - God is also going to merge Hades (Hell) with the Lake of Fire and Brimstone when all is said and done. This will Gods final ultimate end for the saved and the unsaved. The Bible does not give us the specific details of the nature of the torment that they will be under once they are thrown into the Lake of fire and Brimstone. And God may never tell any of us, even when we get into the new heaven and the new earth. It may be something He may never really want us to know about and we may be better off not knowing the full details. However, just the thought that a certain percentage of humanity will not make it into the new heaven and new earth, and will have to spend the rest of their eternal lives in this horrible place of torment just blows the human mind! Some people ask how could a loving God create such a horrible place of torment for people to end up in if they choose for whatever reason not to accept Him. I believe there is only one answer to that question.

I believe God has everything set up on a "all or nothing" principle. There is only maximum life or maximum death. If you choose God and Jesus, then you will end up with maximum life in the new heaven and new earth. If you do not choose God and Jesus, then you will end up with maximum death - which is the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. There is no middle ground or neutral areas! It's all or nothing. It's God or the Devil. It's heaven or hell. It's maximum life or maximum death. It's really all black and white.
God the Father is a God of maximum intensity. He is not playing games. There is only one
God and one Savior - Jesus Christ! There is only one way to live and that is to choose God and Jesus and follow all of Their ways and all of Their commandments. Here is the Scripture verse that I feel really captures this thought:

"... I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days ..." (Deuteronomy 30:19)
I dont think God could make things any more clearer than the way that He has it spelled out in that verse. That verse is about as black and white as you can possibly get. Youll notice that God says nothing about any type of neutral areas or any type of middle ground. However, the actual choice is up to each and every person. God will not force Himself or His ways on anyone. Each person has to freely choose God and His ways with their own free wills. If they dont - for whatever reason - the consequence will be maximum death in the most horrible place imaginable. The other thing to understand about why God would create such a horrible place is to just look at some of the people who commit pure evil in this life. The serial killers, the rapists, the murderers, the leaders of nations who enslave and torture their own people. Just look at the nature of Satan himself and all the horrors and evil he has caused throughout the history of our earth. Some of these fallen angels and evil human beings deserve nothing less that maximum death, which really does line up with their evil natures and personalities. The real sad part about all of this is why a certain percentage of the angels and humans have chosen to live their lives on the "dark side," and to allow themselves to deteriorate to the lower levels of the dark side where they themselves have now become pure evil - giving God no other alternative but to throw them into this lake of fire for the rest of their eternal lives. None of these angels and humans were born or created pure evil. They became pure evil over the course of their lives and they freely chose to do so with their own free wills. To fully understand why these humans and fallen angels have chosen to live this life on the dark side, when they also had a chance to choose God and the "good side" of this life will probably always remain a mystery. But for those who have chosen God and His ways - you will not have to go through the Great White Throne Judgment. Your reward is going to be maximum life - and this reward is going to be the new heaven and the new earth. I will discuss what the Bible has to say about this new paradise in the next article.

Finding Capital

By Matt Bacak Starting a business requires funding in the form of start-up capital and initial operating costs. Although personal savings and loans may be adequate to start a small business along with a great idea, some businesses require a lot more capital that can be borne by savings alone. Of course, with greater capital required comes a higher risk level as more sales and revenue would need to be generated by the business in order to support the repayment amount as well as to produce a healthy return on investment percentage. The second option to obtaining capital would be from people that you know, such as friends, family and relatives. Equity financing could be obtained from there sources, or just as a low-cost loan payable over a certain period of time. This will be a great benefit to you as you won't have to adhere to conditions and the higher interest rates imposed by financing intuitions or other stakeholders. The most common source of financing would be from lenders such as banks and credit unions. These organizations are in the business of providing financing and will impose a particular interest rate on your loan. Apart from that, they may impose restrictions on conditions on repayments and even on limitations on the usage of funds provided to you. This type of loans are normally known as debt financing, as obtaining capital from these sources increases the debt of your company. Equity financing can be obtained by other shareholders or venture capitalists. Capital obtained from venture capitalists are regarded as an investment into the company and not as a loan. As venture capitalists are very selective in the projects that they fund, as they want to ensure that their investments pay off multiple-fold. Therefore, venture capitalist funded projects are subjected to scrutiny from venture capitalists in terms of management, decision making and accounting procedures. The U.S. government has realized that the importance of funding to fuel the growth of small businesses and thus have launched the Small Business Administration organization for this purpose. There are various loans offered based on the nature of the business, the amount of financing required as well as the repayment period. Apart from that, certain types of loans are funded by lending partners of the SBA, with the SBA acting as a guarantor for the loan. This way, a longer loan repayment period can be obtained, with a lower risk on the lender. There are also many other capital sources that can be obtained by a small business. This would be a loan from a credit card, employee stock ownership, home loan refinancing or even purchase order financing. All of these are just glimpses of the various ways in which money can be obtained to start a business, each of them with varying cost levels. Therefore, it is up to the business owner to decide on the type of financing source would be most suited for the business. Once you have determined your financing source, you will then need to develop a business plan that you will propose to your potential capital source. This requires expertise in producing a viable and impressive business plan, and therefore needs to be as comprehensive as possible in provided business information, forecasts and budgets. The first section of the business plan would be on the background of the company. Here, details of the name of the business, the physical location, the amount required for the startup and information on the business owners are provided. Then, the next section will be a holistic explanation on the nature of the business, its uniqueness, the long-term potential as well as the sustainability of the business. A listing of key success factors as well as the strength of the business idea would be ideal to be used to support the business plan. After that, a listing of the management team of the company, their background and credentials as well as their stake in the company is drafted. Information on the industry and market of the business will follow, where the maturity and opportunities available within the industry is highlighted. Finally, critical financial information, incorporating forecasts and budgeting are listed. This would be an area of utmost importance to anyone evaluating your plan, and thus needs to be done with accuracy to create a positive impression.

Features of Hoodia Gordonii Weight Loss

By Bill Byrne The most fantastic feature of Hoodia Gordoni weight loss highlights the degree to which that particular weight loss method respects the needs of the dieter. The dieter who chooses to seek a substantial loss of weight using the Hoodia Gordoni method does not feel the influence of two conflicting impulses. Dieting has traditionally been an uphill battle. It has pitted the dieters incessant appetite (the result of hunger) against the ability to receive satisfaction through abandonment of the dietary restrictions. The dieter has faced the challenge of acting in a manner that could overcome natural obstacles, i.e. a humans natural appetite for food. Hoodia Gordoni is a natural appetite suppressant. Made from a cactus plant that thrives in South Africa, the satisfaction one gets from eating Hoodia Gordoni has been appreciated by many South African Bushmen. They have chewed on the cactus while out hunting. In that way they could hunt for long periods without feeling hungry or thirsty. Biochemists have identified the active ingredient in Hoodia Gordoni. They have named that ingredient p57. The chemical structure of p57 enables it to somehow trick the brain cells. The cells in the hypothalamus think that the molecules of p57 are really molecules of glucose. The hypothalamus then does not sent out notice that the body needs a further source of energy. The dieter who embarks on an effort to achieve Hoodia Gordoni weight loss does not look for a way to achieve pleasure from the intake of food. Unlike the fat content in much snack food, the Hoodia Gordoni does not stimulate the appetite, thus making one hunger for more food. A snack of tea that contains Hoodia Gordoni powder can allow a dieter to feel totally satisfied. Of course, one does not need to be a tea-drinking dieter in order to take advantage of the benefits of Hoodia Gordoni. The powder made from the cactus plant has been made available in capsules and pills. In that way, Hoodia Gordoni can meet the needs of both the relaxed tea drinker and the dieter on the go. Hoodia Gordoni is certainly not the only food that can serve as an appetite suppressant. The high fiber content of an apple allows it to temporarily hold-down hunger pains. The high protein content of pine nuts gives to those nuts certain characteristics associated with an appetite suppressant. Oatmeal, because it enters the bloodstream slowly, also ensures those who have consumed it a long period of satisfaction. Hoodia Gordoni seems to surpass all of the above foods in its ability to delay the bodys natural demand for the consumption of more food. Neither apples, pine nuts nor oatmeal contain a chemical such as p57. That chemical can convince brain cells that a dieter has plenty of glucose in his or her bloodstream. The dieter can ingest some Hoodia Gordoni and feel satisfied. The dieter who relies on use of Hoodia Gordoni can function for longer without a desire to eat. The delayed eating achieves the desired weight loss. Diet-Pill-Hoodia.us sells certified Hoodia Gordonii.

The Best Fast Food for Your Diet

By Kat Lively Your work schedule is tight - meetings and conferences and phone calls all day long. If you are lucky to get a moment to eat, you probably only have time to wolf down a hamburger from the fast food joint by your office, or something from the employee lounge vending machine, assuming you were unable to pack a lunch. Assuming, of course, you have time to shop for groceries at all! In our society of quick fixes and rushed time, however, we find that many people who eat on the run wind up on the express lane to obesity, despite the output of energy in a given day. We know it is a vicious cycle that must be broken, but is there a way to at least tap the brakes a bit without crashing? If you keep up with the news, you may have noticed the more popular fast food chains have altered their menus in order to compete with the rise of "fast casual" restaurants - sit-down establishments that resembles more formal eateries, but deliver food with the same speed and efficiency of a fast food place. Walk into a newly renovated McDonald's and likely you won't see plastic cartoon characters inviting you to sit in molded plastic booths. You may find a more relaxed atmosphere, mature decor and even wireless access so you can take work to lunch. Next to the colorful kids' meals on the menu, too, you will find more sophisticated fare, like salads and fruit and vegetable side options. So if you choose to continue the fast track to lunch, what should you eat in order to maintain a good diet? For all the changes in appearance, burgers and fries are still burgers and fries, and the sodium and fat contents of both remain despite the packaging. For our Compuslim.com customers, we are happy to suggest menus to help slow the fat attack. We hope you will find this information valuable as well. Coupled with bottled water instead of soda (always the best choice as far as drinks go), you can find some nutritional value when you eat on the run. Keep an even pace with just 30 minutes of exercise a day, and the next changes you see may appear in the way you look and feel. Please note, though, that eating the meals on a regular basis will not guarantee weight loss. This guide is merely to offer the healthiest possible alternatives when patronizing these establishments. We at Compuslim hope our everybody who is serious about losing weight will continue to research their nutrition needs and learn what foods are best for them to eat to sustain a healthy lifestyle. McDonald's To look at Ronald McDonald, it appears he has always looked slim, yet not everybody who includes McDonald's food in a regular diet looks the same way. Just one Big Mac is 560 calories and has 30 grams of fat - on many eating regimens, that could represent a half a day of eating! For menu options that won't take bust your belt or your wallet, you could try the following: OPTION ONE: One regular hamburger, one side salad with light balsamic vinegarette dressing (used sparingly) OPTION TWO: California Cobb Salad without chicken, with light balsamic vinegarette dressing (used sparingly) OPTION THREE: Asian Salad no chicken with light sesame ginger dressing (used sparingly) Burger King You can still "have it your way" at this landmark chain restaurant, and the good news is that your way doesn't necessarily have to lead to weight gain. Next time you visit the King, try the alternatives to the hamburgers offered: OPTION ONE: Grilled chicken sandwich and side salad, dressing used sparingly OPTION TWO: Grilled chicken salad, dressing used sparingly Wendy's One of Wendy's biggest selling points is their value menu, where you can find a number of items for about a dollar each. It may surprise you to know, too, a number of these items have been offered for many years, and have always been good alternatives to triple-patty hamburgers: OPTION ONE: Large chili, side salad, dressing used sparingly OPTION TWO: Baked Potato no butter or sour cream, large chili OPTION THREE: Grilled chicken sandwich, side salad, dressing used sparingly Taco Bell Oftentimes people are led to believe that if food contains certain ingredients or is prepared in a certain way (like in a tortilla instead of a carb-heavy bun), that it must be healthier. Not necessarily so. Wherever you go, be vigilant about what you eat, and if you head for this border you may want to consider the following for your next meal: OPTION ONE: Chicken "Enchirito" no cheese, "Cinnamon Twists" OPTION TWO: Bean burrito no cheese, "Cinnamon Twists" OPTION THREE: Two chicken soft tacos, no cheese or avocado dressing To calculate possible menus at other popular fast food restaurants, visit the corporate websites of your favorite restaurants. Many have online calculators handy to total the overall nutritional value of your food choices. From there you can make sound decisions about what you eat.

How To Build Your Profits Through Endorsements

By Jeffrey Benson An endorsement can be an extremely powerful business booster, particularly when the person doing the endorsing is well known and respected by the people who read or hear what he or she has to say. Your endorser doesnt have to be a famous sportsperson, a film star, or a university president to command respect; someone who is visible in your communitys business life will just do fine! Also the endorsements wording doesnt have to be (in fact shouldnt be) run-of-the-mill. It can say a lot more than Louise runs a fabulous hairdressing and beauty salon, please drop by there and see for yourself. An endorsement can be creative and compelling truly novel. Endorsements can be presented through direct mail, TV, telemarketing or a simple personal letter. We use endorsements from satisfied clients all of the time. In fact it is part of the agreement we establish with a new client from the outset. What we say to our clients is, If you find any of our services or business development products the best value - for - money investment you have ever made in your business, will you endorse them to your clients or customers and business associates. Lets have a an example: When a solicitor friend of one of our daughters wanted to increase the size of her firm I suggested that she approached her accountant - who was also one of her clients and asked him to send a letter of endorsement to his best clients. Her accountant readily agreed to do this. This is what the letter said: Its rare for me to write, much less to write about someone in another field. But Im writing to tell you about my solicitor, Jane Sharpe, and to tell you of some of the great work Jane has done for me. (At this point the accountant mentioned several ways in which Janes advice had saved him time and money. Then came the creative touch) Because I appreciate your loyalty to our accountancy firm over so many years, I was thinking of sending you flowers for your office or a gift box, but I decided that the noblest thing I could do for you is to buy you an hour of Janes time. Ive arranged to do that, and theres no charge or obligation to ever use Jane again. The session will not cost you one penny, and you can use it to talk about any subject you want to discuss, whether its a business or personal issue or whatever. I cant recommend Jane enough. Heres her number. Just tell Jane that youre someone for whom Ive purchased an hour of her time. Thats what you call an endorsement. One that was highly successful with just over two-thirds of those people receiving it actually taking up the offer, and 57% visited Jane not just once, but on several occasions. Janes business increased dramatically, and the accountants business also benefited through a referral percentage. Referrals provided by your customers/clients and suppliers can be another potent profit-builder and one we frequently use to add significant additional profits to our clients bottom line. Keep this in mind too: Competitors can actually help you grow your business and profits. Heres how: Go to a competitor and show them that if theyve lost a customer or client that, for all practicality, its a sunken cost that theyve written off. Tell them that if the customer or client doesnt want to buy from them, they can still make a profit by introducing the customer or client to you. Both sides win. Go to your competitor and say, Let me have a chance to access your inactive clients, not your new, active ones. Or tell them, let me have one of your salespeople to call on your old customers to say, You didnt buy from us, we understand. Weve done something to loose your goodwill, but we want to introduce you to somebody we respect. We think that were superior and superb, but if you dont want to do business with us, let us introduce you to the next best thing. We really respect these people. If you do just that, the law of averages says that youre going to get 30% to 50% of those old clients to buy from you. Pay the referring competitor as much as 100% of the first transaction. Show them that you could write them a cheque for tens of thousands of pounds, which they could use to pay off debt, to run advertisements, to build new clients, to add to their facilities or, to hire additional sales personnel. After they get over the shock of a competitor wanting to do business with them, many will agree to your plan. If they say no and tell you to take a wild leap, dont let that upset you say to them, Id say the same thing if someone came to me with this proposition. But let me make a point: Youve got a lot of lost assets. You spend thousands of pounds to build them. These old customer or clients are not buying from you now and probably they never will again. Every week, every month, every year that you do nothing with them, its a lost asset worth less and less. If you can convert a thousand of those five thousand customers or clients to me and I am willing to pay you 35%, 50%, 75% or, 100% of their first transaction with me I can write you a cheque for 20,000 or 50,000 or 200,000.

Influence People With These 5 Simple Steps

By Peter Murphy Trying to get others to see your point of view is difficult. Many people are set in their beliefs and nothing you can say will change their minds. Sometimes it really is not worth the fight to try to change someones mind, but other times it is very important. There are some simple things you can do that will help you in trying to influence people and the way someone else thinks. The following outlines the steps to take to influence people. You can use these steps no matter what you are trying to change their minds about. These steps may seem simple, but it is that fact that make them work so good. Step #1- Explain your viewpoint. This includes using direct facts and supporting your idea. You should also use body language that is inviting and friendly. The main point is to lay everything out and giving them the ability to see all points of view about the subject at hand. Step #2- Listen to their thoughts. Sometimes you may find out something you did not know about the subject by just listening to others. Let them ask questions and answer them in the same straight forward manner you used when explaining your point of view. Do not be condescending or dismiss their ideas. This is a time for building a bridge to get them to see your side. You need to see why they feel like they feel and how you can change that. Step #3- Make sure they even care enough to change their mind. Sometimes you may find you are more passionate about something than someone else. If the other person really does not care they will not be open to changing their mind and will not even take the time to listen to you. You should find someone that really cares about what you care about. If you find they are not 100% interested then you may be fighting a losing battle. Step #4- Make sure you are practical in showing your way works. If you can prove your way is better then it is far easier to change someones mind. You need some proven evidence that your way is the best way. It is hard to deny facts and proof. Step #5- Ask them to change their mind. You have to ask them to come to your side of things. They may not even realize you have been working to change their mind until you ask. These five steps can help you influence others without being pushy. Most often being pushy ruins any chance of changing someones mind. You should always be prepared before working to change someones mind. Because if you can not show you know what you are talking about then they will doubt your choices. Knowing how to influence people can be easy if you are trust worthy and friendly in the process.

What Goes Into Wedding Preparation From Your DJ?

By Rob Alberti Exactly what should your disc jockey be doing in the weeks/months prior to your wedding? If you think that they just show up at your reception and are ready to go - you've missed out on what they've been doing to prepare. Typically, your DJ will meet you during the sales stage of things - you get to know him, they get to know what you are looking for. Once you've decided that they are the right DJ for you, then the work starts. Your DJ would lock in your date and start working on preparation. About 2 months prior to your wedding, they would meet you again and start going over details with you. If your DJ wants to meet only a week or so ahead of your wedding - just say no. You should expect more from them. This is what a professional DJ does in the months prior to your event: 1. They have your itinerary / wedding party names to review and make sure there are no issues and that transitions from one thing to a next have a natural flow to them. 2. They would be communicating with you regarding any last minute changes you might have, sometimes talking to the banquet facility or your photographer if questions arise or to discuss setup requirements. 3. They would review your music requests and make sure they have all your key songs. Many DJs will prepare a working CD with all your selected songs on it to even further make sure there are no issues on the day of your wedding. 4. Many DJs now will work on music programming on their laptop - they will prepare just the right mix of music for social hour and dinner ahead of time. For your dance selections, they may prepare a play list so all the songs you want are easily accessible and for quick reference. 5. They will prepare their equipment and load up just the right pieces for your event and bring sufficient backup in case of emergency. A typical wedding might require about 5-10 hours of preparation event BEFORE the day of your wedding. Ask your potential DJ how much time they invest in preparation for your event - you might be amazed at the differences between lesser DJs and true professionals. Rob Alberti

A Couple of Good Places to Buy Lawnmowers

By Johnathan Sanders After much searching and deliberation, I finally bought a lawnmower of the Internet. This is not the sort of item that I would normally buy on the web, but am happy that I did so. It is not too difficult to actually find bargains on the Internet. For example, to find a good bargain on lawnmowers, goto google, yahoo or whichever is your prefered search engine and simple type "lawnmower offers". By keeping the speech marks around the words your searching for will display results only containing those exact words, where as, just typing lawnmower offers will display both words, hence a more generic response. What many people don't know, is that the lising on the left and top of google are actually paid listing, ie, websites that are paying to have their pages listed for those keywords. I have found that they generally offer detailed info on products and what therefore recommend you search these listing. Of course, any sites that are generally on the first page of the search results also provide good content. Try also looking at google adwords on a webpage- Google run an advertising program where they will display only relevant ads to the discription on the page. Hopefully I haven't confused you! If so below is a brief outline on where to find lawnmower bargains on the net: 1. Ebay- always a good source, infact you can find almost everthing listed here, even fighter jets, although they won't help cutting the lawn! 2. Google adverts- these are always a good source as the companies are trying to target your specfic search term. Remember to use "" around the item you are searching for, to gaurantee a more targeted search. 3. General search engine listing 4. Bizrate is another good site, they carry out a search of 1000's of compaines and display the results, so that you can compare prices, delivery costs etc. Thanks, Johnathan Saunders

A Little Known Way To Lose Weight Without Even Trying

By Herb Wills Now, for the first time in the history of medical science, a substance has been found and isolated about which it is possible to say: If you lay the foundation of your slimming diet on this food you should lose weight more quickly and easily than on a diet based on the same quantity of any other foods. A very good diet is one which has all the elemental vital nutrients proportioned correctly. No single food contains all the elemental nutrients we need. Different foods contain different essential nutrients. We therefore need to consume a wide variety of foods so that we obtain all the basic basic nutrients. In the west, large nutrient deficiencies are usually never seen. Our problem is that we tend to consume too much of some essential essential nutrients and not enough of others. This imbalance can lead to a number of diet-related diseases. Guidelines on good eating suggest that we consume the right amount of energy (calories) to keep us at the correct weight, eat less fat (particularly saturated fat), consume more fibre and eat less sodium (salt) and sugar. SO... WHAT SHOULD WE EAT? In the past, many pronouncements have been made saying that "Including some particular foods in a reducing diet would specifically help overweight people to shed weight more quickly and effectively". Grapefruit was a classic example. Grapefruit meals were the rage for years. More recently, in an American bestseller, pineapple, had magical weight-shedding properties. Unfortunately, all these pronouncements in the past were based on fiction rather than fact certainly not on any established medical fact! Apart from caffeine (which does have a small effect in speeding up the metabolism) no one item we eat or drink has been by scientific methods to have any realistic effect in speeding away our surplus fat. Weight loss depends entirely on the calories we don't consume. The substance is dietary fibre. Now its possible to cut your calorie consumption and at the same time increase your consumption of dietary fibre from the unrefined cereal foods and the fruits and vegetables which provide it. If you follow a high-fibre diet you should find that you are more satisfied on less calories. And more of the calories that go into your mouth will, to put it bluntly, go straight through and down the lavatory. Of course, the fewer calories the body uses from food the more it must pull from from your surplus body fat, so this adds up to faster weight loss. Another simple definition which will appeal to everyone who has ever tried to slim: More weight loss for less will power! When people consume high-fibre diets they excrete more calories in their stools (faeces). In several experiments, scientists have engaged in the task of evaluating the stools of those following high-fibre meals and have found that the calories excreted are measurably greater in number than the calories excreted by those on the normal, varied Western meals, rich in refined carbohydrate foods or, indeed, on any other pattern of eating. Tests conclude that the increased calorie content of the faeces amounts to nearly ten per cent when people follow high-fibre diets. Suffice it to say, those calories which are being flushed away are not being used by the body which means that the body is having to use more of its own surplus fat to combine in for them. So on a 1,000 calorie high-fibre diet the body is going to shed weight more quickly than on a normal 1,000 calorie diet of varied food or on any other 1,000 calorie diet. Before the high-fibre research findings it was concluded that weight loss depended entirely on the number of calories consumed compared with the number removed by the body. Now we have to factor in another addition to this simple statement.... Weight loss depends on the number and the source of calories eaten. The rate of weight loss will be influenced not only by the amount you consume, in terms of calories, but also by which foods you choose to make up that calorie intake. In recent years the evidence for the health benefits of fibre, or roughage as it used to be called, has grown so strong that it has filtered through from the medical journals and is now well known to the British and American public. Following is an example of a breakfast recipe that should add a little variety to that all important meal, as well as supplying important vitamins, minerals, enzymes and fiber. (Thanks to: Rebecca Prescott who runs a natural health website that includes articles on green tea weight loss and metabolism, cla for weight loss and whether it works, and reviews of Dr Atkins diet, and the zone diet.)

Rembrandt's Religious Art

By Jessie Corbett Throughout his long and prolific career, Rembrandt repeatedly turned to the bible as a source of inspiration. He produced many paintings, drawings and etchings that depicted scenes and characters taken from the Old Testament and Apocrypha. He also devoted his talents towards bringing to life people and places found in the New Testament, but most particularly the faces and events that pertained directly to the life of Jesus Christ. Rembrandt was a deeply religious man, and his connection to religion was a source of comfort during the dark times of his life. The period of Rembrandts religious art reveals a great deal about the artist and illustrates what inspired him. It was in the late 1650s that Rembrandt began to focus on portraits of religious figures. This was a time in his life when he and his family where subjected to great tragedy due to the death of two of his children, Hendrickje and Titus. To make matters worse, Rembrandt was forced to declare financial insolvency in 1656 and auction off his extremely valuable art collection and all of his household possessions. In an effort to find solace during these times of grief and darkness, Rembrandt began to paint religious portraits and scenes. Included in his now-famous dramatic religious art are depictions of Christ and the Virgin, the Apostles, namely James, Paul, Bartholomew and Simon, the Evangelists, Monks and Saints. Amongst all of Rembrandts religious art, one of his most famous pieces is his self-portrait as the Apostle Paul, dated 1657. In Rembrandts religious art, the faces of Apostles and Saints alike, peer out from the darkness of dimly-lit rooms. Rembrandt painted each religious characters face to reflect the burden of spiritual and also emotional conflicts. In The Apostle Bartholomew, 1657, Batholomew sits in a gloomy room painted with startlingly rich colors. The only light in the room falls on Bartholomews face, which is clearly framed in an expression of concern. Another piece that portrays the burden of worry and sorrow is the famous The Virgin of Sorrows, 1661. Again, Rembrandt makes use of vibrant colors and dim light to convey the feeling of a troubled mind and soul. Rembrandts religious art depicts the personality of an artist whose ability to create profound depth of expression in his characters most certainly arose from an understanding and compassion for these figures that goes beyond their iconic status. Physically, each character appears to come alive, and upon further reflection, one can observe Rembrandts unmatched skill to also accurately portray the state of their psychological being. For over 80 years scholars have debated over whether Rembrandts religious paintings formed a larger series. And still today, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the artist was working on a series of paintings of biblical figures. Nonetheless, Rembrandts religious art remains some of the most important work of his career. The biblical paintings offer new insight into his techniques, but more importantly they say something very profound about the artist, his beliefs and his unmatched ability to see into and paint the human soul. Jessie Corbett is a modern artist, an authority about Rembrandt, and is the author of the website Rembrandt Prints - http://www.rembrandtprints.org.

Choosing Cellular Phone Plans: Facts You Should Know

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jay_Rich]Jay Rich If you're in the market for cell phones, you might be aware their prices are
constantly dropping. These days they're within anybody's means, and you
might even own more than one. If you're looking into the best cellular phone
plans it's good policy to use the Web, as it's so time-efficient and can offer
a huge range of choice. However the options are so vast it might even be
advisable to take notes so you end up with the best cellular phone plan for
your needs. A big question that needs asking upfront is which features and services you
would like on your cellular phone plan. For example, do you plan to text or
use the 'Net with it? Do you want to take snapshots, and under what
circumstances will your cellular phone be most used? You may even require
a family phone plan. Knowing all this in advance of looking will make you better
prepared to choose between cellular phone plans. The main criterion in selecting cellular phone plans relates to the area covered
by your carrier. City and town residents should be fine, but country-dwellers
may have to put up with reduced coverage. You may also find yourself limited
to just one major provider who serves your area, the only consolation being that
their service may be very reliable and you have a decent set of cellular phone
plans to choose from. So, your first move is to discover the best coverage providers in your locality.
Among other things, the cellular phone plans that will suit you best will enable
adequate calling minutes and no nasty, sting-in-the-tail overuseage charges.
Your next step is to decide which features you need; and if you can live
without a camera phone and the like, then my advice is do just that, as such
optional extras all add to the cost of your handset. So, my advice is to start your research on the trusty Internet as it's both simple
and your best resource. Of course, if you live in an urban area you'll have local
stores where you can comparison shop. Nor is there any need to feel pushed
into instant decision-making here: bargains are always there to be had; all you
need do is look in the right places for cellular phone plans, and as long as you
take your time you'll do just fine and stay within budget. You might like to check

Satisfaction In Marriage

By CD Mohatta There are very few marriages, where both the partners are satisfied fully. Go around and make a small survey. The results may look shocking but they are true. Everyone has one or the other complain about the married life. The dissatisfaction may be many areas. It might be the home they are living in. It may be that the husband does not help the wife in household chores. The husband may complain that the wife is not helping him in growth of his career. It may have to do with difference of views about spending and saving. You will hear complain after complain and may wonder how people stay together with so many complaints? The dissatisfaction may be emotional. She is not bothered when I am feeling unhappy and she will reply that even he does not bother. Getting physical satisfaction is now a distant dream. Going to places to enjoy with each other is long past. It is watching television at home and somehow killing time. Some people even dread holidays, because they may have to stay with wife all the day. There will be doubts about each others friendships and a bundle of complaints about how I am suffering but no one is simply concerned. Why the communication lines have broken down so badly? Why are spouses not satisfied with each other? It is difficult to say. But this problem can be solved with little effort. Let them sit together and write all their complaints on a paper. Exchange the papers and discuss about everything. Decide that from now onwards, I will try and satisfy you in all the possible ways. If you still have to say something to me, tell me after a month. Give me a months time. Keep the talks on through out the month and determine that we will bring back cheer in our life again. We will bring happiness back and become a model couple. This decision itself will change a lot immediately. CD Mohatta writes on Love, Marriage and Dating. This website is a guide on dating, love, relationship, romance, marriage, and break ups.

Develop Your Benefit Statement, Enlist a Cadre of Fans to Promote You

By Wayne Messick The number one mistake we all make is not fine-tuning our niche tightly enough. It's possible that if there are 100 of your ideal target prospects in your normal marketing area - you will be able to make achieve your goals for a lifetime of endless new business. By now I hope you have invested time and energy considering precisely what your ideal clients look like. Before you spend another minute marketing yourself - determine exactly who you want to do business with. Will Rogers is quoted as saying that, "it doesn't matter that you are making good time, when you are heading in the wrong direction" - so check your map (picture of your ideal client type) before you go speeding off toward oblivion. I can not over emphasis the importance of that process. Nor can I over emphasize the importance of not trying to see beyond who they are, to how much money you can make from them. The money will take care of itself if you have faith in the process and belief in yourself and the value you bring to the equation. After we have tightly identified our target audience we still face a huge marketing challenge. How can we quickly articulate the value we offer these targeted folks when we find ourselves in front of one? If we can not describe our benefit in specific, tangible, and results oriented fashion - we won't be around long enough to prove our uniqueness and value. What we need is an "elevator" speech - a benefit statement we can blurt out in 15 seconds that will cause them to pause. When they pause we have their attention, which is all we want at this point, so we can take whatever is the next logical step in the process for us. Your elevator speech can be your most powerful weapon, if you've done your homework - created the clear identity of your target audience so your statement of benefits will resonate with the people who are important to you! Now your elevator speech will effectively get the attention of the people who are important to you, people you are uniquely positioned to serve. Perhaps more importantly it will just a clearly and quickly disqualifies everyone else. In fact that is the key of an effective elevator speech. You want to disqualify everyone that does not fit your picture of your ideal client. No more wasted time with one-off clients, Every client leads you to the next and the next and the next, so it is critical that they all are taking you in the right direction. There are more than enough high probability prospects out there to keep you busy in your niche. Don't waste time and everyone the others. The more efficient you get at disqualifying the wrong people, the better you will get at uncovering the right ones. Actually they will begin to identify themselves. And those people you meet that you disqualify, well some of them will become your greatest recruiters, going out of their way to tell the people they come across that you specialize in people like them and would it be ok if they gave you their name. I have never seen anyone who has narrowed their niche too much. If you live in a small town and there are only a handful of people who represent your niche - that will do it. Each one of them knows other people just like them who live 20, 50, or 100 miles away. And we all know the credibility that automatically attaches to us when we are a specialist from afar. And those people have more friends just like them. According to the Columbia Books Directory of State and Regional Associations and Professional Societies there are 7,500 local chapters of organizations whose members share common interests. After you have determined the true nature of the people you want to work with, check it out. You will find an association of them closer to you than you think. And the member just down the street nay hold the key to getting your message in front of them. Fine tuning your target audience has other marketing benefits as well. For instance you can fine tune the places where you want your marketing message to show up. For example a trade show appearance where each and every attendee is in your market. Everyone is a prospect and everyone knows you or they know somebody who knows you or they just might be standing beside somebody who knows you. I know coaches and other professional solution providers who focus 100% of their marketing efforts in this single way. They attend the annual association meeting of their target market. They "work the room" by being at the awards banquet, the breakout sessions, and they practically live in the exhibit hall during the event. At the end of the week they have all the new prospects they need for the next 12 months - people they had never met before, people who were not ready for their services when they met them at an earlier event, and people they have been given a personal prestige laden introduction to by one of their existing clients. By the way, how many new clients do you want in the next 12 months? How many prospects does it take to get them, if they are in your target niche and they understand your value proposition? When creating your elevator talk, your 15 second description of your value proposition, remember it is all about them - what's in it for them? When you describe your offer speak their language, not yours! If you are like most emerging professionals I meet, you suffer from the inability to provide your prospects with a description of what you do that offers them tangible, understandable, and specific benefits. People will not pay money until they understand that what they are receiving is worth more than it costs, unless they are stupid. And you will not be able to make a living selling your services to stupid people. It is 100% your responsibility to describe your value, answer their "what's in it for me?" questions, whether stated or implied. To help you do that I offer a formula that has worked for many people like you and me for years. I did not come up with it and neither did anyone who claims to have done so. I first heard it on a very old record by Earl Nightingale - one he created in the '50s, and he gave credit to someone before him. Use this formula to create as many specific elevator speeches as you need, in order to address the wants and desires of your niche and its subsidiaries. It goes like this. "You know what it's like when _____________?" "Well, that's what I do." For example if your target is beauty shop owners, helping them through their many challenges - and you have just me such a person, perhaps at an exhibit of salon equipment at their annual meeting. You might say, "You know what it's like when you find you are paying more for shampoo than it costs your customers at the mall?" Well, that's what I do. I help salon owners locate sources of products at below wholesale, turning a net cost into a profit center." The salon owner is interested in that! No matter what you do and who you do it for, "You know what it's like when _____________?" "Well, that's what I do." Will get their attention. You can see how this formula can be used for whatever challenge your target audience has. If you have defined your target audience and spent the time to understand their challenges. Your homework, create elevator speeches - 45 words or less, for every situation you are likely to come up against, and integrate them into your persona. When you know them so well that your spouse can wake you up in the middle of the night from a sound sleep, and ask you - "What do you do?" and you answer them before you open your eyes, you're ready for prime time!

A Small Miracle & A Lot Of Love

By Eliyahu Mitterhoff According to the Gemarah in Shabbos 21:a (Rashi) the celebration of Chanukah was decreed because the oil, which was supposed to last one day, lasted for eight days. But at the same time the Jews were saved from the total destruction of their spiritual values and the loss of their Torah in a very miraculous manner. Wasn't this a greater miracle? Let's ask another question: Our Rabbis tell us that Josef also experienced a miracle as he was being brought down to Egypt by the Yishmalim. They were carrying spices instead of carrying tar, so the that Josef would have a sweet smell as he travelled. Josef was being brought as a slave to an inescapable place of impurity and decadence, did the spices really help him? Could they change his frame of mind at such a time of desperation? The answer to the second question is yes! From these spices Josef saw that G-d was still with him and he wasn't forgotten. These spices were a ray of light in the darkness and a revelation to Josef that it was G-d himself who was taking him to Egypt. To answer the first question we need to understand that the purpose of a miracle is to reveal G-d's involvement ("the light of his face")in a given situation. It does not matter what the size of the miracle is, the main thing is that we see that G-d is with us. We know that a father loves his child not so much because he provides for his simple and basic needs but rather by the extra and special things which he gives his children. Surely the smaller miracle of Chanukah was that we were able to continue the mitzvah of lighting the menorah, but because it was smaller it revealed Hashem's love for us in a greater way. It was this small light of the menorah which announced to the world Hashem's burning love for his chosen people. Based on Sichot Mussar Rabbi Eliyahu Mitterhoff is the director of the Global Yeshiva. The Global Yeshiva is devoted to creating a warm and friendly yet serious place for people of all levels to share and discuss Torah and Orthodox Judaism. He envisions this as a great and unprecedented historic opportunity to share, learn, teach and spread Torah on a global level.

Marriage

By Paul Griffitts Many questions arise in connection with this subject. Should the wife obey her husband? What should be the attitude toward an unbelieving partner in marriage? These and many related questions arise from time to time as people seek to find some set of rules by which to live the Christian life. In the first place, we do not have detailed laws today as did the Jews. We have to find for ourselves the good works which were before ordained that we should walk in them. The secret of success in the Christian life is to make ourselves available to and for Christ so that He can work thru us. Nowhere does it say that the wife should obey the husband. She is to voluntarily submit. God has said so. We must take it that this is the best course to follow. Who are we to question God? But God also has a purpose for everything He says and does. We need to be on the watch for what may be the reason. There is a mystery spoken of in Ephesians 5:32. Some, who are not careful in their reading, read into this that the church which is the body of Christ is the bride of Christ. The Word nowhere mentions a bride of Christ. The unity expressed by the husband and wife being one flesh manifests the unity of Christ and His church. This is the theme in this passage. Since the church is today manifesting the manifold wisdom of God to principalities and powers in the heavenlies (Ephesians 3:10), how well this perfect relationship of husband and wife sets that wisdom forth. It is indeed a mystery that husband and wife are one flesh, no longer two. Not only is the wife to submit, but the husband is to love. This gives a practical exposition of the unity of the one body of Christ. In this relationship where the wife is never told to obey, children and servants are to obey. But the parents have a responsibility toward the children, and the master should be careful with the servant. He also has a Master! To the world, and also to the unseen powers, the Christian home can be a manifestation of the one body and show that it does touch the earth in its walk. These truths also give new motive and zest to the family relationships. All the members of the family can feel that their duties and relationships reach right up into heavenly places where their citizenship is. Let the husband remember that his love, even though it be to an unsubmissive wife, shows forth the love of Christ for His church. And the wife, by being submissive, even to an unloving husband, can be a model of the church which is the body of Christ. The obedience of the children, even as the Lord was subject to His parents (until 30 years old!), can add to this harmony and witness. And parents can also show forth the love of the Father in heaven by loving and bringing up the children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Servants are to do service as unto the Lord, making for greater harmony. And the master should be careful with the servant, not mistreating or withholding wages. Truly the home can be a great witness to truth. Let us all remember that we are members of one another. Paul Griffitts has been a Bibical Researcher for over 30 years.

5 Top Tips For Hosting Your Website

By Mervyn Love A website of your own is no longer a pipe dream. If you have even a modest budget there is an excellent range of low-cost hosting options available, some with free website building facilities. The advent of free hosting providers even means that a quite passable site can be within the grasp of almost anyone with an internet connection. First of all, however, you must decide where and how the site will be hosted. The key to deciding what you need in a hosting provider is to understand the nature of the website you are planning to put on the Internet. For instance, if you are posting just a few personal web pages that hardly anybody will access, a very basic, perhaps free hosting service may be just the thing for you. But before you dive in to either free or paid hosting, here are some tips that will help you avoid time wasting or costly mistakes. 1. Uptime
Simply put, uptime is time that your site is available for Internet users to access it, browse through its pages, and place orders. For you, uptime means time that you can receive orders and make money. Uptime is generally measured as a percentage - the percentage of time a website is up and available to Internet visitors. In industry terms, the more '9s' a hosting provider achieves in uptime performance, the better. 2. Security
If your website will sell goods or services then you will need to collects credit card payments and personally identifiable details from customers. In this case security is of utmost importance. In fact, your customers must feel confident that your site is secure, or you will not receive their business. Security is also linked directly to uptime. 3. Redundancy
In addition to security and standards compliance, a good hosting provider will provide adequate redundancy. In simple terms, this means means having more than one of something - multiple servers, multiple firewalls, multiple databases and storage units, etc. In other words a hosting provider with redundant servers, for example, can ensure more uptime because if one server goes down, another can takes over and do the work of the first without losing website performance. 4. Facility Maintenance and 24/7 Monitoring
To protect against disaster and other threats, a good hosting provider will maintains a locked, temperature-controlled data center equipped with fire protection and an alternate power source. The facility should be monitored on a 24/7 basis, as should performance details such as server uptime, load, traffic, etc. Monitoring should include an established intrusion detection system to guard against security breach. 5. Technical Support
The amount of technical support you receive from your hosting provider is often contingent on the amount you are willing to pay in monthly hosting rates. Some low-cost providers offer no technical support at all, while others in the low-to-mid-cost range offer email or online chat support. Some of the best hosting providers offer phone support (sometimes toll-free, but not always) in addition to online support methods. When browsing the Internet in search of a suitable provider, or turning the pages of a computer magazine, check what they have to say about these five areas of their service and keep these tips in mind before making a decision.

Kabbalistic Chanukah: The Downloading of Primordial Light

By Michael Ozair God said, Let there be light, and there was light.(Genesis 1:3) The 36 candles on the menorah correspond to the 36 hours when Adam and Eve were bathed in The Primordial Light of creation. Today, as we kindle our own lights, we call forth a revelation of this now hidden and intense light. (12th century Kabbalist, R. Eliezer of Worms) The Primordial Light of Creation is hidden in the 36 candles of Chanukah. (Bnei Yissachar, Kislev) Introduction The mood of Winter shares with us the tender gift of returning to our inner wombs, where our wisdom resides and from which our destiny will once again shine forth in Divine Timing. Chanukah, the Festival of Lights invites us to turn our senses inward to find, cultivate, and rededicate our inner sanctuary. It is a time to empty accumulated garbage, to create an open and receptive space, and to cultivate an intimate relationship with our emotions as the sensory system of our soul. As we become more peaceful inside, we gather back our power, one candle at a time. The more supportive and nurturing our inner container, the more the Ohr HaGanuz, the Primordial Light of Creation becomes available to us during this time of year. Spiritually, the eight nights of Chanukah are a cumulative and progressive process through which the light of the menorah grows to reveal the inherent light of Creation. The total number of Chanukah lights over the eight days is 36 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8). As Rabbi Eliezer writes, these 36 lights arouse that very same Primordial Light which illuminated Adam and Eve on the dawn of their creation, the first 36 hours of their existence. The Talmud teaches: 36 hours the Light served . . . and Adam HaRishon (Primordial Man) saw with it from one end of this world into the Other. (Yerushalmi, Brochot 8:5) The Midrash teaches that this intense light needed to be removed from the universe, hidden away for a time still to be realized. All this so duality could exist and the evolution and purpose of the universe could unfold. Ever since the dimming of that Primordial Light, we yearn for it, search for it and pursue it, in our prayers, studies and meditation. Yet, even in our darkest hours, we can access this memory born of the 36 hours when we, humanity as a whole, were bathed in this light. "Where was this Light to be hidden?" asks the Midrash. It answers, "in the Torah." When we immerse ourselves in the truth and wisdom of the Torah, in its inner radiance, we can experience this Primordial Light of wisdom, purpose, and the intent of creation. The significance of the number 36 will lead us into some further deeper understandings. Gods Name Gods Name in Hebrew is Elo-him (language of Moses) Gods Name in Arabic is Al-lah (language of Mohammed) Gods Name in Aramaic is Elahh (language of Jesus) They all share a common three letter root in Hebrew: Alef, Lamed and Heh. The sum gematria, or numerical value of the three letters is 36 (Alef 1, Lamed 30, Heh 5). Torah Concept of light (in one form or another), appears exactly 36 times throughout the entire Torah (Rokayach). Moses It took Moses 36 days to explain the Torah to Israel (Seder
Olam Rabbah 10). Moses himself was born exactly 36 years after the oppression in Egypt began. When Moses was born, it is said that the house was filled with light. It is written there, And she saw him, that he was GOOD (Exodus 2:2) and there (in Genesis 1:4) it is also written, God saw the light, that it was GOOD (Talmud; Sotah 12a) Commentary to above: She saw him, that it (he) was good it being the Ohr HaGanuz Hidden Light of Creation, as a Presence that came into the world with Moses. (Shaarei Leshem, p. 130) The word in the Torah used to describe the Hidden or Primordial Light is tov meaning GOOD. When it appears in the Torah for the first time, the first letter Tet of tov (good) has a very unusual feature. The letter tet, like many other letters in a Torah scroll have tiny crowns extending from them (which kabbalists teach is a hidden language of its own). What is unusual about this letter here is that is has four crowns instead of the usual three. According to the Kabbalist, the Bnei Yissachar, when the four is multiplied by the number nine (the value of the tet itself), the total is 36. The Patriarch Isaac Abraham was a righteous person whose very life embodied the values of the Hidden Light of creation. But when Isaac was born, he was the first in history to be circumcised on the eighth day. Since eight represents transcending the physical, he became infused with all that "eight" represents (transcendence), raising him forever above the natural world. This is why he, at such a young age warranted to see the Divine Presence like his father. Contrary, to popular legend, Isaac was 37 years old when he was sacrificed. According to the mystical tradition, Isaac was a very willing and enthusiastic participant in offering himself up as a sacrifice to G-d, and that although no slaughter took place, Isaac nevertheless left his body. The event took place when Isaac was 37, for the reason that he had already reached his spiritual climax at the end of a complete 36 year life cycle. According to Midrash, although Isaac had not died physically, a part of him transcended even further beyond his earthly identity, causing him to be likened to an angel. The text says he was blind after the Akeidah (binding, sacrifice). It wasnt physical blindness he suffered from, but being blind to garments of this existence, especially the aspect of duality (this is why he was blind to his own twins characteristics, Esau and Jacob). The energy of the 36 facilitates a non-dualistic consciousness since it is a light which Primordial Man bathed in, before the Fall. Rachel and Leah The total amount of years it took Jacob to transform on his life journey was 36 (from when he left home, and then returned with his new family). (Rashi, Bereishit 28:9) Jacob then meets his soul mate Rachel (archetype of free-will), but gets tricked into marrying Rachels sister, Leah (archetype of destiny). The gematria of the Hebrew name Leah (lamed-aleph-heh) is also 36. The letters are also a rearrangement of the holy Name of God as mentioned above (Alef, Lamed, Heh). According to Kabbalah, Leah is the Biblical archetype of unanticipated destiny. She may not be what we choose to have happen to us in life, nor is she even desirable, but when she is accepted and embraced (Jacob accepted her as part of the family) it is through her that transformation happens. It is through the influence of Leah that the tribes of Israel are born and Destiny is fulfilled. It is through Leah that the seed of the Messiah is produced (through Judah, House of David, etc..) who will eventually come to initiate humanity into an Age where the Ohr HaGanuz, the Hidden Light, will be revealed. Now we look at Rachel who gives birth to only two sons. Her first son is Joseph, and the younger one, Benjamin. However, Rachel dies in Bethlehem while giving birth to Benjamin, at age 36. It was at this age, that Heaven felt she had fulfilled her life journey. Like Isaac, her grandfather, legend tells of her absolute willingness to offer her life (one incarnation) for a higher cause (in this case, Benjamin). In history, Benjamin comes to represent Jerusalem and the Holy Temple since they were both built on the tribal land of Benjamin. It also happens to be the same exact site (Temple Mount - Mt. Moriah) where years earlier Isaac was willing to sacrifice his own life. Temple Mount in Jerusalem is one of the most powerful energy vortexes in the world. It is the same site where the Chanukah miracle would take place later in history. Interestingly enough, Chanukah is the ONLY Jewish holiday that takes place in ISRAEL, and specifically on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The story of Chanukah is hardly given a mention in the entire Talmud. Less than one page is devoted to it, while other holidays receive entire Tractates reviewing the holiday in depth and detail. The rabbis of the earlier generations tried to play down the story of Chanukah for political reasons, but it would not go away. Today, it is one of the most popular and beloved Jewish holidays, treasured especially by children and mystics guardians of the Hidden Light. When does the Chanukah Story take place in history? In the 36th Century of the Hebrew Calendar. The 36 Hidden Saints (Lamed Vav Tzaddikim) According to tradition, there are 36 lofty souls present in every generation who sustain, nurture and guard this Hidden Light. Those that guard it, remain hidden and unassuming as well. These 36 righteous people are sparks of that Hidden Light. Through their refined consciousness, this light, warmth and wisdom flows into and permeates the world. Master Kabbalist - The Holy Ari (1534-1572) Rabbi Yitzchak Luria Ashkenazi - The ARI - reverently known as Ari HaKadosh, was the lion of his and all generations when it came to revealing the depth of Kabbalah and its understanding of the Universe as a whole. Until this very day, nobody comes close to his greatness and light in terms of revealing the metaphysics of existence contained within the secrets of Torah. For our own interest here, the ARI remained hidden for most of his life, until his maggid, a non-physical guide, announced it was time for him to reveal himself. He had received his mission to reveal the hidden when he was only 36 years old. He died some 2 years later. Conclusion Our world is filled with mysteries, and it is in the darkest months of the year, that the most luminous energy becomes available. The hidden is revealed and its radiance is accessible to all those who wish to partake and be nourished by it. The Chanukah lights, unlike the Shabbat candles, may not be used for personal pleasure. "These lights are holy. We must not use them for pleasure, we may only gaze upon them" (Chanukah liturgy). For these Chanukah lights celebrate a primordial light, untouched, reminding us that there are higher forces at work. It is our connection with these higher forces that replace the false perception of separation and fear with experiences of oneness, Divine assistance and trust. In Earth school, we are in the process of learning and training ourselves to reach higher levels of consciousness. Indeed, the Chanukah lights serve as an antennae for holiness, drawing down the energy of the 36. With every day of Chanukah that passes, the light gets increasingly stronger. We place our lit candles in the window as a beacon to all passersby to remind the world that darkness can indeed be dispelled, obscurity can be illuminated, and that it is Gods Light which will prevail in the end. May the up and coming year be a new journey of discovery for us all and may we jump with all our heart into the evolutionary unknown holding our candles of faith, and common love for each other.

Mattress Cleaner Tips

By Dean Cecere A suitable mattress cleaner should definitely be used for those unfortunate accidents. We do not recommend simply letting the mattress dry and forget it ever happened. Your mattress may be dry, but the odour will still linger, and the stains will surely set. Young children, pets and even adults have been having accidents in bed, and that's not about to stop any time soon. Whether it's urine, vomit or you just happen to spill something while having breakfst in bed, you should have a good quality mattress cleaner at hand. The question is what to use, and what actually works to remove those awful stains and odours. There are a few solutions out there that can be of assistance, and a variety of products that can be used as mattress cleaner that will do the trick. A few mattress cleaning products include Natures Miracle, Bane-Clene which is great for allergies, and a well recommended mattress cleaner used by the hotel industry called ProKlean seems to work very well. If you do not have any of these, there is still hope as there are a few other products that are very effective and can play the part of a mattress cleaner. A good quality upholstery shampoo usually does the job, and you can get them just about anywhere. The sooner you treat the affected surface, the easier it will be to remove the odour and stain, so if you happen to have upholstery shampoo in your home, try that. Nothing is worse than having recently spent a large sum of money on a good quality pillowtop mattress, and then finding out that your dog has just urinated on it. You always have the option to call a professional mattress cleaner, but sometimes the situation can be a little embarrassing, not to mention fairly costly. It's always better just to do our own dirty work when we can. A mattress cleaner is not only useful for accidents, we also sweat alot when we sleep, and over time, your mattress just doesn't smell as fresh as you would like. To regain that smell, there is also a practical solution. It's a good idea to first vacuum the mattress surface on both sides before you go ahead and use your preferred mattress cleaner product. This will rid your mattress of dust and mites. Furthermore, changing the sheets as often as possible will usually help keep that fresh scent and feel, longer before you feel the need to pull out the mattress cleaner once again.

The Fallibility of Psychological Testing

By Ray Titus Psychological Testing has become rampant across industries, more so in
the case of Information Technology, BPOs and ITES companies. These
tests are used to throw up personality profiles and competency
descriptions that would help companies recruit the right candidate.
The Human Resources department in most organizations is responsible for
the administering of Psychometric tests. The International body that sets guidelines for testing is the
International Test Commission ( ITC ) which stipulates guidelines for
adaptation and usage of tests. ITC has issued guidelines to cover the
following Professional and ethical standards in testing Rights of the test candidate and other parties involved in the testing
process Choice and evaluation of alternative tests Test administration, scoring and interpretation Report writing and feedback. ITC has defined competence in test usage as, A Competent test user
will use tests appropriately, professionally and in an ethical manner,
paying due regard to the needs and rights of those involved in the
testing process, the reasons for testing, and the broader context in
which the testing takes place. There are many reasons why a test can be fallible 1. Inappropriate usage of Tests The norms for which the tests have been designed have to be considered
carefully. They cannot be administered to a population that is
different from the norm population ( Norm Population for example could
be, adolescents, Senior Executives; norms could be based on age,
occupation, gender, economic status etc. ). That is, a test designed
for adolescents cannot be administered on Senior Executives and vice
versa because the results of such administration would be faulty. 2. Culture Fair Testing Another common flaw is in the usage of tests which are not culture fair.
Many psychological tests have been designed for the western population
and can be used appropriately only in that culture. Unfortunately many
of these tests are used on the Indian population giving rise to faulty
conclusions. 3. Design of Test The psychological test can only be designed by professionals qualified
in psychometrics. Many a time lay people design tests using the help of
information accessed through the internet or sometimes even from their
own common sense. Such tests are not valid. 4. Validation of tests Every test that has been designed has to be validated. The process of
validation would involve administering the test on a large population
over a period of time before it is certified as ready for use. This
cannot be done from tests that are fabricated overnight. 5. Downloaded Tests Often tests are downloaded from the Internet and are used for purposes
other than for which they have been designed. For example, a
personality test being used to test the Emotional Intelligence or Team
Skills of a person. 6. Wrong Customization Sometimes the items of a test are changed to suit the user. In such
instances the test cannot give valid results. For example an item ( a
question / statement in the test ) would state
Do you usually date on weekends ? , could be changed to
Do you socialize on weekends?
to fit the Indian scenario. The results of the test with such changed
itemswill not be not valid. 7. Test Administration The test administration should be systematically standardized, i.e., the
test should be administered under exactly the same conditions to all
users. This means that the actual test environment, the instructions,
the timing and the materials are the same on every test occasion.
Before administering the test the user must consider the following
guidelines What is the purpose of testing? What outcomes will be achieved through testing? Why are these specific tests being used? Why are these tests relevant to the outcomes being sought? What evidence is there that these tests are appropriate for the people
who are to be assessed? 8. Confidentiality of Test Results All results of tests must be maintained by the administrator in strict
confidence. Revealing the results could lead to unfair discrimination
in the workplace. This happens when a test used for selection is
disadvantageous to certain groups within the organization. In the US,
the use of IQ tests in employee selection has been prohibited. This was
due to the lack of confidentiality maintained by the administrators
which resulted in employees being unfairly discriminated. At present
any psychometric test has to be administered with utmost care and after
the requisite permissions is obtained. To ensure confidentiality, the following guidelines should be
considered: 1. Ensure that test materials are kept securely 2. Ensure secure storage of and control access to test materials. 3. Respect copyright law and agreements that exist with respect to a
test including any prohibitions on the copying or transmission of
materials in electronic or other forms to other people, whether
qualified or otherwise. 4. Protect the integrity of the test by not coaching individuals on
actual test materials or other practice materials that might unfairly
influence their test performance. 5. Ensure that test techniques are not described publicly in such a way
that their usefulness is impaired. 9. Competence of Test Administrator and Interpreter The personnel administering the tests have to be strict in following the
instructions stipulated by the test designers. The interpretations too
have to be done by qualified personnel who are psychologists. 10. Limitation of tests The tests are limited for the purposes for which they have been
designed. For a holistic assessment of an individual, it is required
that the test results are supplemented by information from interviews
and group discussions. In addition the test results are not valid after
eighteen months of its administration. 11. Test Copyrights It is an offence to copy tests that have been copyrighted. They can only
be used after the necessary permission is obtained from the designers.
Otherwise this illegal copying may lead to lack of standardization in
Test conditions and poor control of materials. 12. Test feedback Often times the guidelines for feedback are not followed by the Users.
The British Psychological Society has set out the following guidelines
for written and oral feedback: Ensure that the technical and linguistic levels of any reports are
appropriate for the level of understanding of the recipients. Make clear that the test data represent just one source of information
and should always be considered in conjunction with other information. Explain how the importance of the test results should be weighted in
relation to other information about the people being assessed. Use a form and structure for a report that is appropriate to the
context of the assessment. When appropriate, provide third parties with information on how
results may be used to inform their decisions. Explain and support the use of test results used to classify people
into categories (e.g. for diagnostic purposes or for job selection). Include within written reports a clear summary, and when relevant,
specific recommendations. Present oral feedback to test takers in a constructive and supportive
manner. http://alliancebschool.org Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ray_Titus http://EzineArticles.com/?The-Fallibility-of-Psychological-Testing&id=48811 where to purchase phentermine
