If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:18 (NKJV)
We are exhorted as followers of Jesus, "If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men" (Rom. 12:18 NKJV). The New Living Translation translates this scripture as, "Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone." Everyone includes those who don't merit it—those who probably don't deserve it. Let's face it; it would be substantially easier to live at peace with those who treated us in love.
"But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them" Luke 6:32 (NKJV).
Notice the requirement given to us for living at peace with everyone, "If it is possible."
Q: So what does, "If it is possible," mean to us?
Simply put, it may not always be possible. Living at peace with others will usually take effort by both parties, and this is because it takes two parties to have a disagreement or fight, and it will take two parties to resolve it. We can't force others into living at peace with us, because they just might be adamant to live in direct opposition to God's will. They may use their free will to choose to express animosity, bitterness, anger, and unforgiveness towards us for an offense, or disagreement. Even so, we must be willing to do our part.
Q: So how can we practically do our part?
Thankfully, God has given us a recipe, or a road map within His word to help us to do our part in living peaceably with others, including being kind, patient, being humble, and committed to blessing others (Rom. 12:12-16).
Prayer is a mighty weapon for pulling down strongholds of the enemy, so we need to ask God for His guidance for "everything." Prayer aligns us with God and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our actions. We should cease focusing on the offense and instead choose to place our thoughts on what God wants from us, with respect to our handling the situation. We can only do this by seeking Him through prayer and the studying of His Word.
So when we find ourselves angry, anxious, and unloving towards those who have hurt us, we need to go to the Bible and seek to find Scripture regarding these emotions and thoughts. We must be prepared to line ourselves up with what God's word says, and never compromise our response based on our feelings. Feelings can be false indicators of how to respond, and will many times lead us to respond in the same manner of how you were treated.
In Part II of this message, we will look at some other ways to guide us through honoring God by living at peace with everyone.
STUDY QUESTION: According to Romans 12:18, what is the only reason we could not live at peace with others?
PERSONAL INVENTORY: Are you doing everything you can to live peaceably with everyone?
PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Ask God to reveal to you any area where you might need to reconcile with others. Ask Him for the wisdom, discernment, and empowerment to handle this situation—now make the steps to reconcile with this person.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for helping me to be reconciled unto You. Thank You for Your faithfulness, even when I have been unfaithful. Lord I was once your enemy by being a sinner, and yet You came and showed me how much You loved me and how I could be forgiven. It was Your kindness Lord that led me to repentance. Help me to be kind towards those who despise and persecute me. Empower me to be more like You. Lord, I need You today to help me in this area of my life. In Jesus' precious name, amen…
Be Blessed, Pastor Scott

Medical Problems
In this section I plan to describe a few of the medical problems I have heard about in Bungee. In Bungee you are subjecting your body to a lot of strange forces that don't normally occur in nature so it is little wonder that some medical people are concerned about the effects. I personally have had no problems during or after a jump. I recently developed a bad back which I was worried about. My doctor said it was all to do with my bad posture and Bungee Jumping would be good for it as it is very similar to traction! Great News.
Temporary Blinded
One case I heard about was a jumper turned temporarily blind after doing a jump. The explanation was that the blood vessels in the retina had burst under the pressure and caused blindness. I believe the jumpers sight returned to normal after a few days though.
I have since heard this condition was reported in the medical journal The Lancet after someone did a study into the medical dangers of Bungee. This was the only problem they could find. Other activities which can cause the problem involve lifting heavy weights and having a dump.
Recently I was mailed by a guy who said his friend suffered from this very problem. His case wasn't so severe and he was only afflicted with blurred vision which cleared up after a week or so.
This picture is from Stijn's Website where he describes that his doctor thought that the condition was more likely if you scream
I have also since found out that this problem is more likely to occur if you are Drunk - don't drink and jump!

The following is a slightly edited version of what was posted to alt.urban.legend by Malinda McCall in 1994. I found it on the now defunct The Urban Legends Website. Malinda kindly gave me permission to reproduce her information here
I really like the best case and worse case scenarios :-) Please remember this was written a few years ago and the sport has increased in safety a lot since then. I made this list and yet I still jump as often as possible. Of course the decision is yours.
I recently found these Bungee Medical Links.

I found this recipe in the book "The 4-Ingredient Vegan" by Maribeth Abrams, and as the name suggests, it is a simple dish, with few ingredients. If you want to jazz it up a bit, I suggest adding some chopped mushrooms and maybe some herbs and spices. Chilli powder comes to mind, but maybe that's just me?
This recipe is NOT gluten free, alas, as I have yet to find gluten free phyllo pastry.
What you will need:
6 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
600g (approx. More if you like) chopped, frozen spinach
6 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 tsp salt
16 sheets of phyllo dough ( I used the Antoniou brand, which is available in supermarkets.)
spray on cooking oil
Boil a pot of water over high heat and add potatoes. Cook for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain and return to pot. Mash.
Thaw spinach according to packet instructions and then add to potatoes. Also add nutritional yeast flakes and salt, and stir.
Preheat oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Spray a large baking dish with olive oil.
Place a sheet of phyllo on the bottom of the dish and spray with oil. Repeat process for a total of 8 sheets.
Then spread the potato filling over the phyllo and lightly pack it in and smooth it out on top.
Lay a sheet of phyllo over the top of that and spray with oil. Repeat the process for a total of 8 sheets.
Spray the top with oil and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and flaky.

Preparing students for academic and entrepreneurial success
A core tenant of VentureSchool's planning process has been to provide proof-of-concept for the design of our learning experiences. Since March 2017, we have hosted over 40 VentureLab pop-up classrooms to test our curriculum, instructional strategy, and interface with parents and students to gather their feedback on our plans for VentureSchool. While VentureLabs have been a valuable learning experience for what a few hours in the life of a VentureSchool student might look, we did not yet have an opportunity to test our school model in a more robust context and collect student growth data over an extended period of time. Therefore, we decided to launch a new program, VentureLink Summer Bridge, during the summer of 2018.
We had a phenomenal summer and couldn't be happier with the first ever iteration of VentureLink Summer Bridge. To recap the program, we released a report to capture the outcomes we were able to deliver over the course of the summer. Read it here.

How to Troubleshoot Bluetooth Issues on Your Windows Network
Like anything else you add to your computer, a Bluetooth gizmo introduces change. That change can cause problems. You can have problems with other devices that are incompatible with your Bluetooth device, you can have problems with the Bluetooth device itself, or you can have issues with the Bluetooth networking hardware.
To check on the status of the Bluetooth hardware, follow these steps:
Click the Bluetooth icon in the notification area.
Choose the command Open Settings (in Windows 7) or Open Bluetooth Settings (in Windows Vista).
The Bluetooth settings dialog box appears. Use the dialog box to check the various settings for the Bluetooth hardware, to ensure that it's working properly.
For example, to check for updates to the Bluetooth driver, click the Driver tab and then click the Update Driver button.
When the adapter is acting oddly, you can click the Restore Defaults button to erase any settings you may have made that screwed things up.
Click the OK button to close the Bluetooth settings dialog box when you're done.
Here are some other suggestions for working with your Bluetooth gizmos, as well as general Bluetooth troubleshooting:
It's possible to use Bluetooth to connect multiple devices to your computer, such as more than one mouse or keyboard ― nothing wrong with that. In fact, you can connect multiple input devices by using the PC's USB ports as well. All input devices (mice and keyboards) remain active.
When you can't do something on your PC, or input is acting oddly, check to ensure that a second keyboard or mouse isn't being manipulated beyond your control. For example, if a book is pressing the Shift key on the second keyboard, it may explain why all your text is in uppercase.
Ensure that the wireless radio is on: Click the Bluetooth icon to confirm that it's on for your PC. Check the Bluetooth gizmo itself to ensure that it's broadcasting a Bluetooth signal.
Some Bluetooth dongles feature a teensy button you can use to wake up the wireless radio.
Because Bluetooth devices are wireless, they use batteries. To help preserve battery life, most Bluetooth devices have an automatic sleep or stand-by mode. You may need to wake the device before it can be used: Press or click a button on the device to wake it up.
Wireless devices consume batteries. Always have fresh batteries on hand. If a device doesn't work, change the batteries. Properly dispose of used batteries.

A custom-designed, mobile-responsive & feature-packed WordPress site for the Royally-approved children's dress designer…
I've another website redesign for you today, which went live towards the tail-end of 2014. The brief was to take Nicki Macfarlane's existing website and give it a visual and functional overhaul, with a bold modern-vintage aesthetic, fresh new features, increased usability and a fully 'responsive' layout to cater for visitors on a wide range of devices.
I'd worked with Nicki and her team to design their brochure earlier in the year, so it made sense to echo some of the design elements from that online, such as the illustrated frames and the typographic style.
The darker background which worked so well in print however looked overly heavy on screen, so this was switched for a fresher duck-egg blue. I also sourced a selection of new, shabby-chic swept picture frames to further lift the palette and enhance the design, and opted to present all but the most decorative text in Joshua Darden's superb "Freight" super-family of fonts, which combine a classic and flexible design with high readability on-screen.
Take a look at some samples from the project below, or head to nickimacfarlane.com to see the full site!
It was important to ensure the site worked well across a range of devices and platforms, and that content was presented in an appropriate way. Throughout the site the content automatically reconfigures to fit the viewing window, changing frame graphics, menu structure, location of key information, the size and spacing of grids, or changing the number of items in a row. Examples of this can be seen above on the product details pages, or below in areas such as the "Our Collections" section.
In addition to a full catalogue of dresses, accessories and pageboy outfits the site also features a range of supporting tools like size charts, fabric swatches, video library and an interactive worldwide stockist map, all designed to be editable by Nicki and her team behind the scenes.

Here in the East Midlands you wouldn't know we're halfway through summer already. So much anticipation of balmy weather, so many disappointingly grey days. As a cook, I look forward to an abundance of seasonal summer produce that can be simply prepared and eaten outside. As part of team Mirror Imaging, we look to the skies for our most epic wedding shots and, as someone who hasn't been on holiday for more than sixteen years, I am feeling bereft of summer sun this year. There's no point in complaining, when summer doesn't deliver on its promise, it's time to cook up the sunshine yourself.
For most people, yellow is a happy colour so it's no accident that this bright, cheerful, sunshine-yellow, lemony broth has been entitled Happiness Soup. The inspiration and indeed its name is borrowed from Nigella's recipe as featured in her book Nigella Summer. All I had to do was tweak the original version to make it grain-free and low-carbohydrate as well as something beautiful to behold.
Easy to make and as gloriously golden-yellow as the midday sun, this light and lovely soup not only raises the spirits, it's clean, fresh, citrus and anise flavour perks up the appetite too.
If it doesn't give you something to smile about on a dismal summer's day, I don't know what will!
Happiness Soup (Serves 4)
1 small organic onion, finely chopped
500 grams yellow courgette
zest & juice of 1 organic lemon
40g organic butter (or for vegans 3 tbsp olive oil)
1 tsp turmeric
800 ml vegetable stock (or for non-vegetarians chicken stock) - see note below
1 small cauliflower, florets only
Celtic sea salt
3-4 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves only, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
The courgettes do not need to be peeled. Simply wash and trim the ends off before slicing them into 5mm (⅛ of an inch) rounds and then finely dicing them into very small confetti-like cubes.
To make cauliflower 'rice', cut off the florets - you don't need any of the stem - then blitz the florets in a food processor for about 30 seconds until it comes together into a powdery cauliflower 'snow'.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium/low heat. With the pan lid on, gently sweat the finely chopped onion in the butter for 8 minutes until soft and translucent but not coloured.
Add the diced courgettes and the lemon zest to the pan and stir to coat. Cover with a circle of greaseproof paper (cut to fit the pan), put the pan lid back on, then cook on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they've slightly softened.
Stir in the turmeric, the stock and 40ml of the lemon juice and then drop in the cauliflower 'rice'. Cook, uncovered, for 6 minutes, or just until the courgettes and cauliflower 'rice' are tender. Taste for seasoning. Add a little more salt and lemon juice if it needs it.
Leave to cool slightly before serving, then ladle into 4 pre-warmed soup bowls before adding a generous sprinkling of chopped tarragon on top of each bowl and a grinding of black pepper, if liked.
This soup is best eaten warm rather than hot.
For vegetable stock, I generally make up some Marigold vegetable bouillon concentrate with freshly filtered water. I then strain it - as I did here- to remove any re-hydrated bits of veg that would otherwise spoil the clean, good looks of my finished sauce or soup. Use homemade vegetable stock, if you prefer.
For non-vegetarians, a chicken stock made from freshly filtered water and the concentrated juices leftover from roasting a chicken will add extra depth and flavour to the soup.

The SOLEFALD history dates back to the autumn of 1995 when melodic Black Metal was still a rather new and popular genre. The band was founded by Lazare and Cornelius, both with long musical experience from Techno-Thrash bands. Vocalist Cornelius has credits with MONUMENTUM and a solo project entitled PERSONA. Drummer Lazare (Lars Are Nedland) has credits with BORKNAGER and CARPATHIAN FOREST. The demo "Jernlov" and its twisted view on black metal made the band stand out from their Norwegian contemporaries. Avantgarde Music soon inked the band for a two album deal and their debut album "The Linear Scaffold" was released in July 1997. It could be described as a black metal album with radical lyrics and is their heaviest album to date. Live work employed the use of guitarist John E, drummer Tarald and DIMMU BORGIR man, Jens Peter, on bass. Their inaugural tour in 1998 saw them partnered with HAGGARD and TRISTANIA on a complete European tour.
1999's "Neonism" began to steer towards brainy compositions and philosophical lyrics. It was a record that literally had the mixing desk catch on fire in the studio! This direction evolved into the increasing complexity and technical exhibitionism of "Pills Against the Ageless Ills" which was released in 2001 on their new label, Century Media. "In Harmonia Universali" released in 2003, immediately brings to mind the progressive airs of Yes' vintage '70s art rock, but SOLEFALD soon lead their listeners astray into customarily unfamiliar territory. Sung in four languages (Norwegian, German, French, and English) and graced with a male choir, a saxophone, Spanish guitar, and the keyboard exotica of a Steinway grand piano & a Hammond B-3 organ. Alternative Press stated, "the kind of complete sensory experience only the best metal can provide", as the band proves they are never predictable and evoke works by King Crimson's and top shelf progressive-rock.
In 2003 Lazare also spent time in AGE OF SILENCE alongside KHOLD and TULUS man Eikund and the notorious MAYHEM, WINDS and ARCTURUS drummer Hellhammer.
In the year 2005, the band traveled to Iceland to write their next album. Originally planning to release one new album, the group wound up writing so much new material, they decided they would release two new albums. The band then stated: "SOLEFALD was experimenting when everybody was being true. Now that things are changing and that we've pushed the experiment quite far already, we wanted "Red For Fire + Black For Death" to be our attempts at being true. This will be a true Nordic Viking Metal album." This two part saga is the story written by Cornelius about Bragi, a skald in Iceland. "Red For Fire: An Icelandic Odyssey Part I", the first album from this two part saga, was released in October 2005. Musically the album was far from standard viking metal. The inclusion of a violin and cello handling most of Lazare's musical arrangements rather than a synthesizer, Jörmundur Ingi's deep voice, beautiful female vocals thanks to Aggie "Frost" Peterson, beautiful jazzy saxophone playing, tight and ever varied drumming, angular, cold, bright, raw, and heavy guitar playing, made the album epic, sweeping, layered, majestic, and intense.
Now, the same very talented artists are back on "Black for Death: An Icelandic Odyssey part 2", the second and last part of the concept, which totally fits the musical direction as "Red for Fire". As previously announced, this new album also features a guest appearance by Garm of ULVER. "Black for Death" was written in Reykjavik at Summer Solstice in the year 1003 after the Fall of Iceland. SOLEFALD proudly dedicate this album to the pagan heritage of the Northlands.

It's Getting Late, says Miu Miu/
Dang, I love short films, especially when they leave you feeling like you're still in the film long after its finished.
This Miu Miu short film—directed by Massy Tadjedin—had me imagining that I was also finishing up my day's work (before the sun sets, mind you) then casually changing into Miu Miu for a concert in LA. I wasn't of course, but these ladies sure do know how to make changing clothes look classy.
It features the lovely Patricia Clarkson, who I can't look at without thinking of this, as well as Aubrey Plaza, who looks way cooler blogging than I do.

Artist Ivan Orama is a NYC based artist who has been creating 100% handmade pieces for the previous fourteen years. This is so informative and makes so much sense – I am often responsible of not having my business cards available when it might be useful for me. Will take all your suggestions and begin over. The black metal enterprise playing cards look glossy and professional, far superior to the previous conventional cards that many individuals are uninterested in seeing. What can be great about customized metal cards is that they do reveal all the good things about a business or particular person.
A simple website or weblog will help you share information about your company or business with others. In at present's world, nearly any type of business assist available as a digital function. Hand out enterprise cards: Your enterprise playing cards have your store URL tackle and different contact data allowing folks to buy when they are prepared, or resupply once they run out. Depending on the dimensions of the finished magnet, you could possibly even consider using your common tackle label if that works for you.
The sound of working totally free might not be appealing but it will likely be price it to get some good references to point out potential clients. Remember that simply because your business card is created from paper doesn't mean it might probably't even be tech savvy. Advertising could be achieved on the web, local papers, fliers, and enterprise cards. My next order might be a free banner for me to hold on the side when my US Marine son arrives on American soil arriving residence from abroad! We print on thick 15-level stock so your playing cards will really feel good and at all times make an important impression.
After knowing the worth of bank cards, in the event you think it's best to get new ones with all eye-catching features, then you will get them printed from online printing companies. A vCard can contain all the additional contact particulars of a brand new business contact that you simply would not usually be bothered to sort into your phone's contacts. So, in case your phone quantity, cell phone quantity, handle or e-mail change or want updating, merely reprint your playing cards as an alternative of writing in your new info on the previous one. I bought many calls to run workshops or seminars for the brand new individuals in the enterprise.

Probiotics + Pregnancy = Relieve Nausea, Reflux and Constipation/
Improve vaginal flora for birth while strengthening your baby's immune system
Gut health has become quite a popular topic in functional and integrative medicine. You may have heard statements such as:
"The GUT is the GATEWAY to your health" or "Gut health is the KEY to overall HEALTH" – Kris Carr
"Heal your GUT, Heal your BODY" or "All disease begins in the GUT" – Hippocrates
"Anything that affects the GUT always affects the BRAIN" – Dr. Majors
These statements are all true. A healthy gut improves nutritional absorption, immune system function, hormone balance, mood, metabolism, and aids in detoxification. There are several variables that impact gut health, but one of the major drivers of a healthy gut is a diverse microbiome.
What is the microbiome?
The microbiome is simply a collection of live microorganisms that inhabit a specific area. According to The Gut Microbiota for Health, "our gut microbiota contains tens of trillions of microorganisms, including at least 1000 different species of known bacteria with more than 3 million genes (150 times more than human genes)". Is that not amazing or what?
As a culture, our gut microbiomes are not as diverse and healthy as we would like because of antibiotic use, antimicrobial soaps, pesticides, and general cleanliness. Because of this, I encourage my clients to supplement with probiotics.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live organisms (both bacteria and fungi) that are good for our health, especially within the intestines. Probiotics can be found naturally in certain foods such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and cultured vegetables. Lactobaccilus and bifidobacterium are some of the most common beneficial bacteria found in probiotics and saccharomyces boulardii is one of the most common beneficial yeast found in probiotics. Probiotics help strengthen the immune system and help fight off pathogenic (disease causing) organisms from colonizing in our gut.
So why are probiotics important to supplement during pregnancy?
As you can see, probiotics are important during all phases of life; however, they are essential during pregnancy and postpartum. Scientists are starting to believe that by the age of 3 a child's gut microbiome is similar to that of adults. Therefore, everything we do for our child from birth on can have a huge impact on their gut microbiome.
Your newborn's intestines are quickly colonized with bacteria and yeast during and after delivery. As a baby passes through the vaginal canal, live microbes are transmitted to the baby through the nose, eyes, mouth, and skin. I have several of my patients and clients start using vaginal probiotics to make sure the vaginal flora is healthy for delivery. After delivery, breastfeeding is an excellent way to strengthen your infant's gut flora. We used to think that breast milk was sterile; however we are now finding breastfeeding is a great way to transmit probiotics to your little one. They are finding that infants who are breastfed have more bifidobacteria compared to formula fed infants.
It is never too early to start taking probiotics. I recommend taking probiotics throughout pregnancy because they may help with some of the common digestive complaints including nausea, reflux/heartburn, and constipation. Some of my favorite probiotics include: VSL 3, Prescript Assist, Dr. Formulated Probiotics for Women, and Orthobiotic.

Foundational Keys to Evangelizing Children
It is not enough for parents simply to avoid these common pitfalls (see yesterday's post)—they must also seek to put into practice the following keys to child evangelism.
1. Setting a Consistent Example of Godliness
Evangelizing children consists not simply of verbalizing the gospel with one's mouth, but also of exemplifying it in one's life. As parents explain the truths of God's Word, children have the unique opportunity to observe their lives up close and to see whether they seriously believe what they are teaching. When parents are faithful not only to proclaim, but also to live out the gospel, the impact is profound.
Because marriage is a picture of Christ's relationship with the church (Eph. 5:22–33), the relationship between the parents as husband and wife is particularly significant. In fact, aside from the parents' fundamental commitment to Christ, the single most important foundation for successful parenting is a healthy, Christ-centered marriage. Setting a consistent example of godliness is indispensable.
2. Proclaiming the Complete Gospel of Christ
The heart of evangelism is the gospel, "for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Rom. 1:16). If a child is to repent and believe in Christ, then, it will be through the proclamation of the message of the cross (1 Cor. 1:18–25; 2 Tim. 3:15; James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23–25). Children will not be saved apart from the gospel.
For this reason, parents need to teach their children the law of God, teach them the gospel of divine grace, show them their need for a Savior, and point them to Jesus Christ as the only One who can save them. It is best to start from the beginning—God, creation, the fall, sin, salvation, and Christ in His life, death, and resurrection.
As they teach their children, parents must resist the temptation to downplay or soften the demands of the gospel and must proclaim the message in its fullness. The need to surrender to the lordship of Christ, for example, is not too difficult for children to understand. Any child who is old enough to understand the basic gospel is also able by God's grace to trust Him completely and respond with the purest, most sincere kind of repentance.
The key is to be clear and thorough. Parents more than anyone have ample time and opportunity to explain and illustrate gospel truths, to correct misunderstandings, and to clarify and review the most difficult aspects of the message. The wise parent will be faithful, patient, and persistent, being careful to look at every moment of the child's life as a teaching opportunity (Deut. 6:6–7).
One such teaching opportunity is found in the parents' responsibility to discipline and correct their children when they are disobedient (Eph. 6:4). Rather than seeking simply to modify behavior, the wise parent will look at discipline as an opportunity to help his children become aware of their failure and inability to obey, and subsequently, their need for forgiveness in Christ. In this way, discipline and correction are used to bring children to a sober assessment of themselves as sinners and to lead to the cross of Christ where sinners can be forgiven.
As parents explain the gospel and exhort their children to respond to the gospel, it is best to avoid an emphasis on external actions, such as praying "the sinner's prayer." There is an urgency inherent in the gospel message itself—and it is right for parents to impress that urgency on the child's heart—but the focus should be kept on the internal response Scripture calls for from sinners: repentance from sin and faith in Christ. As parents diligently teach the gospel and take opportunities each day to instruct their children in the truth of God's Word, they can begin to look for signs that their children have indeed repented and believed.
3. Understanding the Biblical Evidences of Salvation
The evidence that someone has genuinely repented of his sin and believed in Christ is the same in a child as it is in an adult—spiritual transformation. According to Scripture, true believers follow Christ (John 10:27), confess their sins (1 John 1:9), love their brothers (1 John 3:14), obey God's commandments (1 John 2:3; John 15:14), do the will of God (Matt. 12:50), abide in God's Word (John 8:31), keep God's Word (John 17:6), and do good works (Eph. 2:10).
Parents should look for an increasing measure of this kind of fruit in their children's lives as they continue to instruct them in the truths of the gospel. In addition, parents should be fervent in their efforts to teach their children about Christ and their need for salvation, but they should also recognize that an essential part of that work is to guard them from thinking they are saved when they are not.
Understanding the biblical evidences of salvation—and explaining them to one's children—is foundational to this work of protection.
4. Encouraging Possible Signs of Conversion
Because of the immaturity and fickleness of children, it is tempting for some parents to write off childlike expressions of faith as trivial, or even meaningless. In contrast, parents should encourage every sign of faith in their children and use the opportunity to teach them even more about Christ and the gospel. When a child expresses a desire to learn about Jesus, parents should feed that desire and encourage the child when they see possible signs of conversion.
Even if parents conclude it's too early to regard their child's interest in Christ as mature faith, they must not deride a profession of faith as false, for it may be the seed from which mature faith will later emerge. Instead, the parent should continue to point that child toward Christ, teaching the truth of God's Word with patience and diligence, and always looking to the One who is able to open hearts to respond to the gospel.
5. Trusting the Absolute Sovereignty of God
The greatest need of children is to be born again. Regeneration, however, is not something that parents can do for them. Parents may pressure their children into a false profession, but genuine faith and repentance can only be granted by God who regenerates the heart. Put simply, the new birth is the work of the Holy Spirit and Him alone (John 3:8).
The salvation of children, then, cannot be produced by the faithfulness or diligence of parents, but only by the sovereign work of God Himself. Such a realization should bring comfort to parents. In addition, it should motivate them to bathe their evangelistic efforts in prayer to the One who does His work where they cannot—in the child's heart.

Edison Chouest Offshore has been using an unmanned aerial system or drone to help its ice-class anchor handler Aiviq navigate through ice. The ship was equipped with Flexrotor, a small unmanned aircraft from Aerovel that was built specifically for long-range imaging reconnaissance at sea. It was brought in as an experiment, but as soon as it started flying "it turned into an essential tool," claimed Aerovel. Video from the unmanned aircraft was used by the pilot responsible for navigating the ship and video was also followed with keen interest by web viewers in Alaska, which was streamed in realtime via the vessel's satellite link.
"Flexrotor is in a class all on its own for this sort of work," said Matt Parker, vice president of Precision Integrated, which was contracted by Alaska's Fairweather Science to execute the mission. "Its small footprint makes onboard setup quick and easy. Launch and retrieval are done with no disruption to the ship's activity; and its long range and endurance are immensely powerful. This was the first genuinely sustained and economically successful mission for unmanned aircraft aboard a ship in the Arctic. We'll soon be doing many more."
"We are always careful to tread lightly in the Arctic and wanted to avoid breaking sea ice on this mission to minimise our environmental presence," said Justin Blank, senior scientist and project manager at Fairweather Science. "Flexrotor's imaging was vital, but its small size and low noise were big advantages as well. Precision's team brought it aboard the client's ship quickly and efficiently, and the high safety standards demanded for Arctic operations were exceeded from start to finish. Our client is extremely pleased to have the mission accomplished with low impact, low cost, low risk, and not a single safety incident. With such strong results, I see many applications."

Food server Victoria Bruton, 40, worked in Philadelphia restaurants most of her life where, she said, "I served people, but I couldn't afford to eat where I worked."
Work was available, she said, although not lucrative. Her hourly pay maxed out at $2.83, the minimum wage required by law for employees who receive tips.
Ninety percent of Bruton's income came from tips, but the amount varied so widely that she could never rely on them to finance a mortgage. With home ownership out of reach, she and her two children lived with her parents. She couldn't afford retirement savings or a car: "I couldn't pay for the gas."
Bruton's income from waitressing was so low that she and her children qualified for food stamps and government-sponsored health insurance.
"It was a struggle trying to make ends meet," she said.
Two out of three restaurant workers in Philadelphia would not be able to support a family of three on their wages, according to a study of the city's restaurant industry released Wednesday. A trade group immediately took issue with the report.
"Philadelphia restaurant workers are worse off than they were a decade ago," noted the report, titled "Behind the Kitchen Door: The Hidden Reality of Philadelphia's Thriving Restaurant Industry."
Employees also face rampant discrimination, wage theft, and unsafe working conditions, the report said.
In the last 10 years, restaurant employment grew faster than most employment in the city of Philadelphia, yet wages declined in comparison, according to the report, released at a news conference at Tequilas restaurant at 16th and Locust Streets in Center City.
The report cited U.S. Labor Department statistics showing that annual restaurant wages decreased 11 percent, from $20,705 in 2001 to $18,486 in 2011, while private-sector wages overall rose 8 percent during the same period.
"The restaurant industry provides both an opportunity and a threat to the economy," the report said.
"On the one hand, this industry can provide jobs to millions." But its low wages prolong economic stagnation since its workers don't have enough money to be avid consumers, the report said.
Restaurant workers rarely have health insurance and often work sick because many restaurants do not provide sick pay, the report said.
Even Tequilas, heralded as a "high-road" employer by the study's sponsors, for its higher wages and diverse staff, does not routinely offer health insurance or sick pay.
Sick pay is available to longtime employees who have proved themselves reliable, said manager Oscar Serrano.
Managers can receive health insurance, and, he said, Tequilas' parent company heavily supports Puentes de Salud, a Philadelphia medical clinic where restaurant workers can receive free care.
The report said one in four workers noted that they had done something due to time pressure that might have harmed the health and safety of customers and that more than half had been injured on the job.
Forty percent of those surveyed for the report complained that they were forced to work off the clock without pay, and 57.9 percent said they had not been paid overtime after working more than 40 hours in a week.
Also, the report said, there is rampant discrimination, with higher-paying waitstaff and bartending jobs usually held by whites, usually males, with lower-paid kitchen jobs held by minorities, particularly Latinos and Asians.
The report recommended that policymakers raise the minimum wage and the minimum tipped wage and that they support sick-day laws.
To reduce the industry's high turnover rates, employers should raise wages and benefits, provide sick pay, and improve employees' work situation by scheduling further in advance to allow planning, the report said.
The Restaurant Opportunities Center of Philadelphia is part of a national organization, Restaurant Opportunities Centers United. The Philadelphia Restaurant Industry Coalition includes advocacy groups for workers, immigrants, and women.
The report was researched by the Keystone Research Center in Harrisburg, a nonprofit organization funded by unions and advocacy groups.
The Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Family Fund, and others paid for the study.
Commissioned by the Restaurant Opportunities Center of Philadelphia, a nonunion worker-advocacy group, and the Philadelphia Restaurant Industry Coalition, the study was based on analysis of government data, interviews with 33 workers and 30 restaurant owners or managers, and more than 500 surveys.
"I think it's unfair to present these studies as if they were scientific," objected Patrick Conway, chief executive of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association, a trade group.
Conway said those interviewed were hand-selected with a particular point of view in mind.
"They paint [the restaurant industry] as one that's evil," he said, adding that the industry has always been one with flexible hours and a mostly part-time staff typically not covered by sick-pay policies.
The business provides opportunities. Dishwashers can become managers. "Many become owners of their own restaurants," he said.

When the New Year rolls around, people start to consider their resolutions. From losing weight to quitting bad habits, there are a number of resolutions that are forgotten within a few weeks. To start your year off right, you need to think of resolutions that will help you succeed in your small business. With a few changes, you can make your business a successful enterprise. Here are some goals you should have for the new year:
Boost Your Digital Presence
One quick change you can make is to improve your digital presence. Today, most consumers check out a company online before they ever make a purchase. If you are using a cookie-cutter website to market your business, you could be missing out on potential customers.
Your website should be mobile-friendly and easy to navigate. To reach out to new clients, you should create an email marketing list and a social media presence. In addition to reaching out to new clients, these techniques can help you improve your client relationships with existing customers.
Take a Risk
Business is all about risk management. Starting your business was a risk, so do not be afraid to take another leap of faith. There are many techniques you can use to improve your business. One common mistake businesses make is with their data.
Your data is important, and you need to do everything possible to protect it. If someone hacks your website or there is a natural disaster, your information needs to be secure. Using a disaster recovery tool can help reduce the chances that you will lose data if you are hacked.
Simplify Your Professional Life
When you run a small business, it seems like everything needs your attention. While some of these tasks are necessary, other items just get in the way. You may have too many product lines or service options to easily handle. If this is the case, your business may benefit if you focus on just the important products that actually resonate with clients.
A common problem among business owners is meetings. Sometimes, it seems like you are having meetings just to feel effective. In reality, many of the topics covered in a meeting can easily be addressed in a short email. If you are holding meetings out of habit instead of necessity, cut them back.
Find Easier Solutions
In the modern world, technology has the answer for just about everything. While there are apps for nearly every task, many businesses continue to do things the old-fashioned way. Right now is an excellent time to rethink how your business runs.
There are software solutions for just about anything: project management tools to help you manage your staff, invoicing software to help your accounts payable department–and the list goes on. The same concept holds true for a number of other business matters. Your goal this year is to work smarter and not harder.
Rethink How Your Business Grows
The entire goal of a business is to make a profit. At some point, you will want your business to expand into new geographic regions or product lines. When it is time to scale up, you have to find an easy way to add employees without adding pressure to your bottom line.
For some companies, subcontractors might be the answer. Unlike a traditional employee, a 1099 contractor is self-employed. They are responsible for their taxes, and you only pay them the agreed amount. Since they tend to have multiple clients, they can be easily let go if you no longer need them.
Start Delegating More
You started the business, so you know how to do just about everything. While you are capable of handling every task, it would be impossible to do everyone's job. Instead of trying to take on more work, delegate these tasks to your employees.
To do this, you have to put a greater emphasis on employee training. It might take more time to train them now, but you will end up freeing up your schedule later on. Focus on building your team, and you will be able to focus on leading the company.
Be Kind
Making a profit is ideal, but the ends do not always justify the means. There is always room in this world for a little kindness. Being kind will help other people, but it will also help yourself. When you are stressed out by work, a single act of kindness will make you feel happier with yourself.
In addition, this approach can actually help your business as well. Thanking your employees for their work or rewarding them for their success can motivate them to do even better. The time to prepare for the future is right now. As the New Year rolls around, make sure that your business is prepared for a profitable, successful year. With the right resolutions, you can set your goals high for the upcoming months.

Dr Ian Fairweather
One of the University's growing number of Sustainability Enthusiasts. Find out more about the initiative here.
My regional specialization is in Southern Africa and I have worked on the ways that contemporary postcolonial identity strategies are articulated performatively in Northern Namibia through religious participation, ritual and dynamic heritage reconstructions to effect a transformation in the politics of culture. My current work seeks to explore the relationship between the material traces of the missionary past and its production through performance in museum displays and commemorative events.
I am interested in religious behaviour, particularly in Christianity, and the ways that language and ritual form combine with material and sensory experience in religious performance to produce an 'affect' among participants
I am also interested in the public value of anthropology and have appeared on the radio four programme 'Beyond Belief'. I have been involved in a number of collaborative projects with the Manchester museum and I have acted as a consultant and speaker in public events . In 2009 I completed a research project funded by Renaissance North-west examining community experience of the culture of museums in northwest England. The project was a collaboration between myself as museum ethnographer and four amateur ethnographers who acted as ethnographer/narrators in films, describing their experiences of the museum culture'.

Form is emptiness. Emptiness is form.
The project was born from the idea of investigating the female sphere through some of its aspects: its sensuality, the inner part, the mystery, the complexity and its presence in the world; trying to bring out these elements through the revealed body – nude – and a transposition in the form of a diary written on the body. To communicate this intimate world outside, I chose to submerge the woman in a dreamlike atmosphere, at the boundary between dream and reality, where the image is placed in a beam light as if it merges with it, going from defined curves, sometimes geometric profiles in movement, in total abandonment, diluted in the scene, symbolizing the duality of the elements. And where the image itself creates a bond between the movement and the ink, the symbol of the inner voice. To express this concept, the ideograms chosen are :
门 光 ( the ) Door ( the ) Light ; these are understood as a passage way toward the light;
风 清 Pure wind ; metaphorically, it refers to the woman as a presence in the world;
色 即 是 空 空 是 即 色 Form is emptiness. Emptiness is the form (from the Heart Sutra ) ; being empty, it means ' to be full ' than anything else and empty of a separate self.

Routing IP Multicast Traffic Overview
IP Multicast Routing is a huge topic because several technologies are at use in IP Multicast Routing, which means that space permits me to give only a cursory explanation of how this technology works. All networks function fine without multicast routing, but you may find some benefit to enabling it on your network.
IP Multicast Data is data that is sent out to a large group of computers but travels over the network as a single network frame. It is typically managed at the data link layer as a broadcast, though it needs to reach only a subset of all computers on the network. IP Multicast Routing is the routing of the multicast traffic.
Some situations that will benefit from enabling multicast routing include networks or companies that want to make use of the following:
Multicast imaging solutions for desktop OS deployment implemented across routers. These solutions often work if the solution is limited to a single network segment.
Music on Hold and some other features of IP-based phone systems. Although you may be able to implement this as a unicast solution, multicast will greatly reduce network utilization.
Multimedia steaming solutions that allow for multicast transmission.
With routing protocols that send data to systems in an area or AS via multicast. Typically, these messages only need to go as far as the local data link, so no routing will be required.

Basics of Behavior Learning Theories in Psychology
All behavior is learned, whether it's healthy or abnormal. Behavior therapy is based on the learning theories of psychologist Ivan Pavlov's classical conditioning, B. F. Skinner's operant conditioning, and Albert Bandura's social learning theory. Here's how these theories understand learning:
In the classical-conditioning sense, learning refers to associations formed between events or actions.
In the operant-conditioning sense, learning refers to the process of increasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring or not occurring based on its consequences.
In the social learning theory sense, learning refers to discovering things by watching other people.
These days, it's pretty hard to argue that smoking is not bad for a person's health. Smoking is a good example of an unhealthy behavior that is learned. Cigarette advertisements associate sexy people and having fun with smoking (classical conditioning). Nicotine gives a pleasurable, stimulating sensation (operant conditioning). Teenagers sometimes learn to smoke by watching their parents, older siblings, or peers smoke (social leaning theory).
Classical conditioning and behavior therapy
Behavior therapy treats abnormal behavior as learned behavior, and anything that's been learned can be unlearned — theoretically anyway. A key feature of behavior therapy is the notion that environmental conditions and circumstances can be explored and manipulated to change a person's behavior without having to dig around their mind or psyche and evoke psychological or mental explanations for their issues.
A classic case cited by proponents of behavior therapy to support this approach is the case of Little Hans. Little Hans was a boy who was deathly afraid of horses. Why was Hans afraid of horses? According to psychoanalysis a mental or psychological explanation was that Hans's fear of horses was a displaced fear of his powerful father. The behaviorists had a simpler explanation.
Hans had recently witnessed a number of extremely frightening events involving horses. On one occasion, he saw a horse die in a carting accident. This event made Hans very upset, and it scared him. The behaviorists proposed that the fear Hans developed from watching the horse die and from witnessing the other frightening, horse-related events had become classically conditioned to horses. He had associated fear with horses.
Remember how classical conditioning works? Here's a little summary.
Unconditioned Stimulus (Accident) Unconditioned Response (Fear)
Conditioned Stimulus (Horse) + Unconditioned Stimulus (Accident) Unconditioned Response (Fear)
Conditioned Stimulus (Horse) Conditioned Response (Fear)
What do you get? Fear of horses à la classical conditioning. The beauty of this explanation comes from its implications for treating Little Hans's horse phobia. According to behavior therapists, if he learned to be afraid of horses, he could learn how not to be afraid of horses. This type of result can be accomplished with a behavior therapy technique called systematic desensitization
Operant conditioning and behavior therapy
What about operant conditioning? Take a look at anger,. If you get your way every time you get angry, you're being positively reinforced for that behavior; therefore, you're more likely to keep using anger in this way. If a child behaves in a manner that is not acceptable, her parents may be inadvertently reinforcing that behavior by providing attention to her that they may not provide in any other way.
An example of a negatively reinforced behavior is seen when an individual gives in to peer pressure. The ridicule a teenager endures for not going along with the crowd can be hurtful. He may give in to peer pressure just to put a stop to the ridicule (the removal of a painful stimulus).
Having a difficult time being assertive is an example of a behavior, or the lack of that behavior, that is maintained through punishment. If you live in a home where you're laughed at or otherwise punished for being assertive and speaking my mind, you're far less likely to be assertive in other situations. Lacking assertiveness can be a serious problem, and it often leads to feelings of victimization and resentfulness.
Behavior that is reinforced is more likely to happen again and again. If your angry outbursts for a sandwich get rewarded with a sandwich then you're just going to keep on yelling. If you're punished for speaking you're mind, then you'll keep those thoughts to yourself. Simply put, you get behavior that you reward; you don't get behavior you don't reward (or punish).
Social learning theory and behavior therapy
Humans learn by watching other people. A common problem in marriages involves fighting over money. This is sometimes a consequence of watching our parents fight over money, engaging in nonproductive, emotionally hurtful, and frustrating exchanges over who's to blame for spending too much or not earning enough, for example.
Modeling is a form of behavior therapy that is used to teach people new behaviors by showing them how to behave in a healthier way. You may ask that the husband begin a conversation with you about money and you can model, or show, the couple how to discuss money in a healthier manner. This only works, however, if the therapist knows how to model healthy behavior!

It's official--we are on the road. We left
this morning this afternoon, when we finally got all of the last-minute stuff packed, I got my "Thank-You" gift together for Jude's karate teachers (okay, a little late since his last day was last week, but better than me having to mail it back later!), and we crammed a truly improbable amount of stuff into the van.
You shoulda seen how big this pile was before it got stuffed in here!
Our last few days in Mena were so bittersweet. I had lunch with Alicia, zipped around doing last-minute errands, said goodbyes to other friends, and the whole time it felt surreal--like we were just going on a holiday instead of moving away, most likely to not be back for years. After all, the house we were leaving was still full of stuff, wasn't it? Even if it wasn't our stuff?
Today was a great travel day--not too sunny for the most part. The kids were all so excited that we were finally "going back to Canada" that they were pretty good in the van. We stopped for an hour and a half at supper time near Weatherford, OK at a truck stop with a little rest area. I pulled out the camp stove, and we heated up potato soup and had apples and boiled eggs, plus the kids ran off energy kicking the soccer ball around as I was getting stuff ready.
Mom has decided to come with me, and it is so nice to have the extra adult along. It did make things a little more hectic as we prepared to leave, since both of us had to be preparing for the long trip, but that's okay. Having the extra hands to help with the kids, the extra person to drive, and the conversation along the way s all worth it.
So, I know what you're all thinking... Okay, not really, but it made a nice intro, didn't it? Anyway, you might be wondering what the food preparations look like for a trip like this in a family that cooks from scratch and tries to avoid restaurants when possible? Here are some of the things we brought along:
- 2 dozen boiled eggs
- 1 dozen fresh eggs
- 2 8-cup containers of frozen potato soup--some for us, and some to share with our hosts in California
- 6 cups of frozen Roasted Garlic, Squash and Apple Soup
- 1 frozen leg of lamb for our hosts
- 8 cups of frozen rice pasta and ground lamb meat sauce
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- Condiments such as homemade mayo, butter, homemade ketchup, peanut butter and honey
- The healthiest all-beef hot dogs we could find (okay, we fudged a little by getting hot dogs)--and soft tortillas to eat them with! It is nearly impossible to find hot dogs without high fructose corn syrup in them, but apparently, it is impossible to find hot dog buns without it! (At least at Wal-Mart.)
- Various healthy snacks, such as Mom's home-made travel cookie favourites, "Bible Bread" (which looks a lot like matzah), organic animal crackers and pretzels, apples, date bars, home-made granola, kefir, home-made yogurt, bananas, organic dark semi-sweet chocolate bars, home-made trail mix, organic nuts and dried fruit, baby carrots
- Home-made pancake mix, plus the "wet stuff" to complete it (we'll have to forgo soaking on this batch)
- Rolled oats for breakfasts
- Applesauce--I could have brought frozen home-made stuff, but decided to go with organic cups from Wal-Mart, 'cause I was running out of cooler space! Plus, it's a little easier to eat when it's not frozen!
- Leftover lamb steaks, frozen
- Frozen pinto beans (for the vegetarian in the group--that would be my mother)
- Block of white cheddar cheese
- Instead of juicing on the trip (because one has to have limits somewhere!), I bought high-quality instant juice powder from AIM Barleylife, so I can still have my carrot, beet, and barleygrass juice in the morning. No, it is not quite as beneficial as fresh, but better than nothing at all!
To prepare all this food with, I brought our camp stove and camp cooking gear (including a 10" cast iron pan), camping plastic plates and cutlery to eat it with, etc. We froze a lot of it so it would stay good until we get to California on Saturday night--we can slowly be heating the items up and using them as we need them, but this way we don't need to keep buying ice to cool everything off--there is enough frozen stuff in there to keep everything cool for now.
Chances are, we will be eating in restaurants a few times on the trip. I just didn't want to be doing it three times a day for three weeks--not only is this very expensive, but after only a few days of this, I feel really gross, and usually we all end up sick if we do it for long enough. Not to mention constipated.
Tonight, we were blessed to find a great deal in a motel, right off the pool (the kids are pretty stoked about trying that out first thing in the morning!), with Wi-Fi, full breakfast included, and not too spendy. And, you guessed it--we'll be hitting the "famed" Amarillo, TX not long after we leave here tomorrow morning.
However, unlike in the song, we brought a lot more than we've got on!!
Cook From Scratch--Fast! Part One

A few weeks ago a package from One Third Stories arrived through the door. I was really looking forward to trying one of these as I had seen them a few times on Instagram and thought they'd be another little thing to add to our Spanish learning.
The One Third Stories is quite an interesting concept for language learning. The stories start in English and end in another language. It's very cleverly done and is quite effective. It's a subscription service so you simply go online, choose the language you want and you're away.
There are a number of languages to choose from and in the pack you get a number of items to use to help learn the words that the box that month is focussing on. There is an audio book which is really helpful for checking the pronunciation of new words and phrases as well as the story book, flash cards and an activity book.
The box itself is letter box friendly – always a plus as it means no trips are needed to the sorting office. It's also all well packed and in nice bright yellow packaging so your children will know what it is instantly.
I did do a short unboxing video which you can see here – Mr D was really excited to get stuck into the box so we first listened to the audio book together whilst reading the book. The audio is really clear and well done. Sometimes I find audio books a bit difficult to listen to or the narrator not too engaging but the one we had, Ruby Red Riding Hood, I found to be quite easy to listen to and Mr D found it pretty engaging too.
The next day we read the book together, by the end of the story both Mr D and Miss E could remember the words for the various fruits and liked joining in with the story on the second reading. I was impressed with how quickly they recalled them. We then played with the flash cards but if I'm honest these worked more for me than the children and I probably need to think of a more creative way to use them. There's a short video below of Mr D going through a couple of the flashcards – please excuse the mismatched pyjamas – he has chicken pox so we were opting for comfortable clothes.
We had a look at the activity book together but at the moment it was just a bit less intriguing to the children as it required a bit of reading and writing skills which, due to their age, they don't have at the moment. They did like the board game though and it was a good way to check their skills with the fruit.
The activiy book is useful to have to hand and I think it's something I'll come back to again soon with them. Both the main book and activity book are well written and illustrated and I liked the consistency between the two. I plan to put the audio story onto an MP3 player and play when we go on a longer drive somewhere.
I was pretty impressed with the One Third Stories and I think it is something I'll look to order in the future if we find ourselves with a bit of 'spare' cash one month. It's certainly a good thing to have to add to language learning for young children.

Staying at a resort on Disney property isn't like anything else. It's like being teleported to another world…a world that only exists in our favorite fairy tales and stories. One of my favorite Disney resorts is actually (technically) a value resort – Art of Animation.
While all of the resorts on Disney property add a magical touch to your vacation, no other resort does that quite as magnificently as Art of Animation. Here are five reasons why I strongly recommend staying here:
1. Theming – Art of Animation sets the bar high when it comes to theming. The resort is split into four themed areas – The Little Mermaid (standard rooms) and Finding Nemo, The Lion King and Cars (family suites).
We stayed in the Little Mermaid area since we only had two adults and one child in our party. While I would've loved to have stayed in the Lion King area since that's my all-time favorite movie, Bella was in awe of everything. She's a huge Little Mermaid fan, and her eyes got super wide when she saw all the statues and decor. I would recommend an off-day from the parks so you can tour the resort grounds and even take a tip in the Big Blue Pool!
2. Price – Art of Animation is one of the more affordable resorts, although I would no longer categorize it as a value resort. I consider it a reasonably priced moderate resort. For what you get out of a Disney resort, I believe that the price is worth every penny.
3. Buses – Art of Animation has it's very own bus! It does not share with Pop Century, and the All-Stars share a bus system, which can get pretty crowded and hectic. We don't use Disney transportation as we always travel via car, but if we did, this would be a ginormous reason to stay at Art of Animation!
4. The Pools and Playgrounds – Art of Animation houses three extravagantly themed pools – the Big Blue Pool, which is the main pool and Finding Nemo themed, and two quieter pools, the Flippin' Fins Little Mermaid Pool and the Cozy Cone Cars Pool.
Additionally, Art of Animation has the Righteous Reef Playground and the Schoolyard Sprayground located in the Finding Nemo Area, along with The Boneyard playground located in the Lion King area and the Pixel Play Arcade located in Animation Hall.
5. Ink and Paint Shop – One of my favorite things to do while on a Disney vacation is SHOP. Art of Animation has a super cool gift shop called the Ink and Paint Shop. It is themed like an animation studio, and has all kinds of souvenirs that your family is sure to love. They even have a character artist that does custom sketches!

|Put your best foot forward for fitness
Yep, walking could just be the new cardio – with recent research suggesting walking might be just as good as gentle jogging – and potentially better for you than long-term strenuous endurance exercise. With national guidelines recommending 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week, walking is easy to start and even easier to incorporate it into daily life.
But why is walking so good for you?
