Once upon a time there was a good…a REALLY good father.
He was the best kind of daddy. He made time for his kids. He loved to play with them and listen to them giggle. He loved to snuggle up close to them and told the very best bedtime stories followed by soft whisker rubs and many "I love you's". His love was so deep and wide that there was nothing that they could do to change the way he felt about them. He was a dad who knew how to balance his nurture and compassion with boundary setting to keep them safe and secure. His kids looked up to him and trusted him. One day, the kids went off to explore their yard. While looking in the far corner…by the tree that their dad told them not to touch or eat from because it would be harmful…they discovered something new. This something…this someone caught their attention because there was something in his voice that attracted their curiosity. This someone directed their attention back to the tree and for the first time they noticed that it had fruit. He told them that it was the most delicious thing that they would ever taste and wondered aloud why their dad would deprive them of it. He told them that the tree was magical and would make them smart, brave, and powerful. He told them that their dad didn't want them to have all of these special gifts because then they wouldn't need him anymore.
The children pondered this deeply and as they considered this, their own understanding began to change. Truth became cloudy and then disappeared altogether. A new understanding of their relationship grew. Their dad was afraid. Their dad was insecure. He could not be trusted. The kids were uncertain but this someone seemed to know so much. What if their dad was holding out on them? How unfair he was being! They would show him. They would eat the fruit from the tree. And so they did. One after the other. They took their first bite and it was sweet. And sticky. And in eating it…they did change. Their eyes were opened. They looked around and discovered feelings they never knew. They felt vulnerable. They felt guilt. They felt fear. And so they discovered a new game. Hide and seek. They scampered behind the bushes because they knew that soon their father would come and call out to them to play or walk together and talk. Soon they heard his voice. They began to shake because they knew that they had disobeyed and disappointed him. They cowered in the dark corners, in the dirt, naked and afraid. All the while, their father called their names inviting them to come out into the light and into his arms.
All Things New Therapy Services, Inc. recognizes this story in all of us. We come from brokenness…both inside and around us. Nothing remains untouched by this choice. Our genes, our body composition, and our neurological wiring are all wired in the direction of death. We are born to human families who share this ancestry. We bounce around feeling all of the feelings. Some feelings are remnants of our time with our Dad. These are the times that we reflect goodness…but such a very dim reflection of love, patience, and joy. Then there are the other times…too often…when we remember and live as people in the dark. We feel small, alone, and unloveable. We hide. We fight. We numb our insides from all that is raw.
All Things New Therapy Services, Inc. recognizes that our heavenly dad still calls to us by name. He wants us to "Come out, Come out wherever we are!" He is still good….very GOOD! He does not leave us. In fact, instead of responding by giving us the punishment we deserve, He comes close to us. He meets us in the dirt and in the dark and invites us to join him. He bends low and takes on our discipline as his own although he has done nothing to deserve it. He takes on the punishment of every choice against him for ALL of us. And he leaves us with this promise…
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
– Lamentations 3:22-23
When we come out of our hiding places and into the light, His compassion is waiting for us. We will be made new and into His likeness.

We believe that such an interesting and unusual car you've never seen. Car enthusiasts from Moscow, Maxim Sarmatov selling unique car that is completely (in the literal sense) covered with skin (Canadian) buffalo.
From the interior, exterior and even the engine! Maksim as stated in its advertisement published in leading Russian car site "Avito," says the car is covered with real leather for Canadian movie buffalo, and the skin is artistically engraved with masters from the Middle East.
The interior of the car, including the dashboard, was also carved with brown skin as bisonette with expensive natural fur. While the inside of the – under the hood, engine parts also include the right skin that is resistant to high temperatures in the engine.
This ad does not mention that this mark (leather) car, my knowledge of classic cars is low, although the lion logo on the front (if not changed sign) indicates that it is a peso? (Correct me if I'm wrong).
This leather car has a 2.5-liter petrol engine, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, the steering wheel is on the right side of the car. The seller of this Auto Exchange says that guarantees a lifetime warranty on the durability of buffalo leather. The seller of this car is ready to sell the car thickened skin bisonette for the sum of 40 million Russian rubles. or 1,215,000 dollars.

We all must have heard about defragmenting our hard drives to speed up performance. Sound of that similar to windows users but we don't have any defragment utility, hell, we don't need to defragment! And why is that? Lets find out-
I remember when I was new to Linux, a friend of mine came with a hard disk and asked me to defragment it (yeah, we all have faced it). It was easy in windows, how hard it could be in Linux? I connected the spare bus to his hard disk and then started a mission to defragment via Linux. I can't stress this enough that I was new to Linux and didn't know much about how things work. After trying every bit I knew, looked up the mighty google and it came like a bolt from the blue- NO DEFRAGMENTATION NEEDED IN LINUX. </chitchat>
I'll cover it in as short as possible; your hard disk is divided into sectors. These sectors are capable of storing small pieces of data. So, when the size of file is more than size of a sector then the file is saved over multiple sectors, as simple as that. As the new file comes, it is saved next to previous sector. But, when the size of first file increases, it might not find free sectors near original file so it will be saved few sectors apart, this goes on and on. While reading this file, the head will have to skip physical locations which ultimately will make things slower. Defragmentation is the process in which file is put back in continuous fashion so that there is no skipping of sectors.
Note: Defragmenting is not recommended for SSD drives. They have a different theory, doing so will reduce their life.
Linux's file systems deal with fragmentation in an intelligent way. Instead of placing files next to each other, it keeps a lot of space between the sectors of two files therefore leaving space for these files to grow. This keeps fragmentation far away, yet not impossible. Even if there are fragments, file system attempts to move the files thereby reducing the fragmentation. The system is designed to avoid fragmentation in normal use. You might face some fragmentation when your space fills up, may be 80% or 90%. The more suitable method to deal with it is to get a new hard drive with more space else you can copy your files to other drive, delete original files and then copy them back- they will be arranged automatically.
Have you ever looked in your / directory, you'll see a lot of directories. Here we are presenting beginners guide to linux directory structure explaining what they mean and what are the contents of these directories.
Screenshot of contents of root directory:
This is called root partition. All files and directories start with root partition. Write privileges under this directory are avaible with root user only. Not to confuse it with root user's home directory, know the difference, "/" is root partition while root user's home directory is "/root".
This directory has binary executable files. Linux commands used in single user mode are found in this directory. It also holds commands that are used by all users. Examples: ls, ping, cp.
Like /bin, /sbin also contains binary executable files but the commands held by this directory are used by system administrators with the prime purpose of system maintenance. Examples: iptables, reboot, fdisk.
It holds all the configuration files which are required by all programs. Shell scripts needed by programs to start or stop them are held by this very directory. Examples are /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/logrotate.conf
/dev contains device files. In Linux, everything is a file. Included are terminal device or usb or any other device connected to the computer. For example: /dev/usbmon0
All the system process information is held in /proc. It is a pseudo filesystem as it contains information about running processes. For an instance, /proc/
var denotes variable files. Those files are kept in this directory that are supposed to grow. Some of the files that reside in here are- /var/log (system log files), /var/lib (package files), /var/mail (emails), /var/spool (print queues), /var/tmp (temporary files that are needed across reboots).
System generated and user generated temporary files are kept in this category. Important files should not be saved in here because contents of /tmp are flushed every time system boots.
/usr is the one that holds user programs. It contains documentations, libraries and source-code for all the second level applications. /usr/bin holds binaries for user programs. While looking for a binary after /bin also look in /usr/bin. Examples of binaries you mighht find in /usr/bin are awk, less, cc. Similarly binary files for system administrators are kept in /usr/sbin. Examples are cron, sshd, useradd. Libraries for /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are kept in /usr/lib. /usr/local holds user programs that a user installs from source.
All user's personal files are kept in their respective home directories.
This directory has boot loader files. While booting, files needed are found in /boot. Kernel initrd, grub and few more files reside in this directory.
Binaries located in /bin and /sbin are supported by library files kept in /lib. Library nomenclature goes like ld* or lib*.so.* . For example: ld-2.11.1.so
/opt is for add-on optional applications from individual vendors. All applications that are optional should be installed in /opt or any of its subdirectory.
/mnt is our mount directory. It is the temporary mount location where where system administrators can mount temporary filesystems.
It serves as the temporary mount point for removable devices. All removable devices are mounted in this directory. Example: /media/cdrom or /media/floppy.
srv denotes service. All the service related data used for servers is saved in this directory.
If you are looking to write code in Perl which will work on multiple platforms then you must have the knowledge of filesystem of each platform. Filesystems are categoriesed in 3 parts.
FFS (Berkeley Fast File System) is the ancestor of all current filesystems of Unix variants. The filesystem has been extended by different vendors according to their needs. Like for better security they have been extended to provide support for POSIX ACL (access control list).
In Unix filesystem the root is denoted by / (forward slash). The path of any directory in Unix filesystem starts from / and goes deeper in the system. The directory names or file names in Unix filesystem are case-sensitive.
Path Example: /root/home/user/Desktop/file.txt
Operating systems which are based on Windows supports 3 filesystems: FAT (File Allocation Table), NTFS (NT FileSystem), FAT32 (Advance version of FAT).
FAT filesystem is not case-sensitive. It uses \\ (backward slash) as path separator. In the FAT systems the direcotries and files contains some flags, these flags are known as attributes like "Read Only". NTFS supports unicode feature.
Path Example: C:\\home\\user\\Desktop\\file.txt
Classic Mac OS used HFS (Hierarchical File System). The version 8.1 of Mac OS uses HFS+ which is an advance version of HFS. The current filesystem looks similar to Unix filesystem. The method of showing paths is same in both OS. The difference between these is that Unix file system is case-sensitive whereas HFS+ is not case-sensitive.
|OS and FileSystem
|Path Separator
|Filename length
|Absolute path format
|Relative path format
|Unique features
|Unix (Berkeley FFS and others)
|OS-dependent number of chars
|OS-variant dependent additions
|Mac OS (HFS+)
|255 Unicode chars
|Mac OS legacy support, BSD extended attributes
|Windows based OS (NTFS)
|255 Unicode chars
|File encryption and compression
|DOS (basic FAT)
By now we know all the filesystems differ from each other and to deal with these in Perl we use File::Spec module. This module is used to hide the differences between these filesystems. Let us learn how we use this module. We will use the catfile method to get the path of the file.
use File::Spec;
my $path= File::Spec->catfile(qw{home user Desktop file.txt});
In this way the scalar variable $path get sets to home\user\desktop\file.txt in a Windows operating system. and in Unix based system it gets set to home/user/Desktop/file.txt. The File::Spec module also contains methods like curdir and updir to get the current directory (.) and up-directory (..).
You may also use the moudle Path::Class which is an another good wrapper. You will have to install it before using.
Below is an example of how it works:
use Path::Class;
my $file = file (qw{home user Desktop file.txt});
my $dir = file (qw{home user Desktop});
The $file and $dir are scalar variable which contains the path to the file.txt file and Desktop directory respectively.
Here's the path
print $file;
print $dir;
The output will depend on operating system. If it is Unix then it will yield
home/user/desktop/file.txt and home//user//desktop
and in Windows based systems it will give
home\\user\\desktop\\file.txt and home\\user\\desktop
Here $file and $dir are objects which have several methods which can be applied on them for some use. Like absoulte method gives the absolute path and slurp method slurps through the file's contents.
my $abspath = $file->absolute;
my $content = $file->slurp;
$file->remove(); #delete the file
When you want to write a code for a particular system and you want to make this system understand the path of other operating system then you may use foreign_file() and foreign_dir() methods. These will return the path based the argument which you have to specify explicitly.
use Path::Class qw(foreign_file foreign_dir);
my $foreignfile = foreign_file('Win32', qw{home user Desktop file.txt});
my $foreigndir = foreign_dir('Win32', qw{home user});
Now $foreignfile will contain home\\user\\desktop\\file.txt even if the code is run from a Unix based system. This approach is very handy and useful. In the next article we will continue and expand our discussion.

This article or feature has been moved. Redirecting you to the new Legacy of the Green Regent home page...
by Jeff Simpson
Much that occurs in this land escapes the histories and records slumbering in dusty vaults and the dim halls of kings. And so it is with the working of Mielikki and her regents. Much of their story remains written only in the veins of leaves and the moving of winds and waters through the High Forest. Yet, I learned this tale elsewhere still: from the songs of a grig prince named Feythrin, who unwittingly stumbled upon a great adventure.
Now that villain the Hark entrenched himself between Loudwater and Secomber. For decades the wererat bandit lord harassed caravans and wayfarers traveling the roads and rivers. The fearless and cunning hit-and-run raids were legendary but thankfully sporadic among those traveling the corridor. Trading coster owners typically referred to losses suffered during these raids as the "Hark's Tax," and they were resigned to consider it a cost of business in the area. Other folk where not so resigned. This tax was not paid in goods only, many paid with their lives.
Lately the attacks were becoming more daring, more successful and frighteningly more common. Combined with the tension of orcs migrating eastward en masse from the High Forest, the Hark's renewed vigor bode ill for peace and stability in the region. Rumors of a young red hunting the northern faces of the Greypeak Mountains did nothing to quelling the mounting anxiety.
Worry was everywhere, but few paid as dearly in misery as Blaz Merrymar of Shining Falls. Stolen merchandise was inconsequential compared to the lives of four sons and three nephews lost. Added to his woes were thoughts of leaving a widowed wife to fend for his two remaining daughters, for Blaz was captured along the road by Skar and his bugbear pet, Gvrag—and they were agents of the Hark.
Groef Feythrin knew a great deal about these goblinoid raiders having played pranks on them a time or two, and their greedy voices scrapping through the evening air attracted his whimsy.
"This half-man has looser skin than the other. We must be getting to the bottom of the barrel," barked Skar. "The boss will be well pleased," replied another.
Much merrier my midnight mirth promises making them my momentary mischief, thought Feythrin, and off he sprung fiddle in hand. Shortly he came upon a gruesome scene. Blaz held aloft by Gvrag twisted and contorted away from a torch flame held by Skar. Sadly these sorry suckers mistook sickness as silliness so this sad sap suffers, lamented Feythrin. Yet, he was not the only witness to Blaz's distress. Nor was he alone in his desire to work mischief upon the bandits.
Fools Finger In the Greypeak Mountains, about a three day hike from Shining Falls, leans a great crumbling obelisk of unknown origin that locals call Fools Finger. The rock of this obelisk radiates with a cool emanation and a rosy red color. Hendris Teinel, the patron of the Scarlet Shield, has promised any adventurer bringing back a souvenir from this monument—a piece of the magical rock no smaller than his own big toe (which is rather large as far as big toes go)—wins free dinners nightly. Hendris craves the magic stone into shield shapes, and sells them to merchants heading to Waterdeep, where they are the rave of nobles and adventurers who use it to cool and illuminate their drinks. While the food is rather bland, a guaranteed meal ticket has motivated a lot of adventurers to take the trek. Many even return.
Coming along the road was a motley band of adventurers. Having met this very day and finding each other good company, they joined forces for the long road home. Some were out patrolling the road to secure the peace, some were returning from Fools Finger with their souvenirs' for Hedris Teinel and some sought new adventure after failing to locate the ancient dwarven complex of Iirikos Stonesholder. They just decided to make camp when they stumbled upon Blaz in his plight. Heroes all, they rushed in and made quick work of Skar and his minions.
It's clear the Blaz was saved, and for this Feythrin was glad, but what follows this heroic rescue remains for others to tell because the groef's song does not say. Cross at loosing his goblin entertainers, Feythrin departed to amuse himself elsewhere. Yet, the paths of the bold cross many times in the winding wood; the brave adventurers re-emerge in the little prince's song.
Whether motivated by Blaz's fierce hatred for those who murdered his kin, employed by Gauntlet Harazos Thelbrimm of Loudwater to "clear the road," or answering an inner voice marking all persons of great character, the adventurers returned to the wood tracking the goblins to their lair to cleanse the foul den. Earnest in their task, they failed to notice jostling Feythrin's bower were he lay dreaming about purple buttons.
Rudely woken, Feythrin resigned himself to keep these large folk in his debt until by song of deed they amused him greatly, Feythrin drew a determined breath and leapt off to follow his newly appointed deputies of delight.
Eventually, the tracks lead to a macabre camp. Two curious holes in the earth revealed the vile industry of the Hark's crew. The flesh and bones of birds, beasts and unfortunate travelers filled one hole. Crows now feasted on the scraps.
The second hole was actually a tunnel leading to the river and a raft. Putting all the pieces together, the adventurers pinpointed the location of the bandit's hideout and began their assault. Here, Feythrin's song becomes confusing for he claims the truth is disguised by tears of mirth which fiddling tells better then words. So he plays and his music evokes much splashing and clambering and climbing and scrambling and yelling. When he sings again the mirth is gone for there is a battle by water and under stone and into the very face of the cliffs.
Feythrin took to flight and reaching the cave entrance all was silent. The shattered frames of fallen foes lay about the hideout, but there was no sign of the heroes. He pressed deeper into the gloom and rounding a corner spotted the adventurers as a shrill whistle split the air.
Suddenly, everyone was rushing forward again, and the clash and clamber of metal and magic filled the air. Feythrin leap forward just in time to see a wererat disappear down a large hole followed by an avalanche of stone cutting off any chance of pursuit. The whistling obviously gave the wretched creature the extra few seconds needed for escape.
While the villain fled and the band missed a chance to strike a decisive blow against the Hark's operations, all was not lost. The wererat that escaped was named Hekkut. Whether by Tamora's hand or a streak of vanity, Hekkut left scribbled on the cave wall much of the Hark's present plans.
It took close scrutiny to decipher the script, but Hekkut's notes recounted many things such as his and the goblins' trek from the Hark's stronghold, through the illithid-infested corridors of the Underdark to these caves. Apparently, the Hark allied himself with mindflayers and something called the Forest King in a bid to expand his territory deeper into the Delimbiyr Crescent.
Having cleared the den and with new information important to securing the future of Loudwater, the adventurers returned home. Feythrin followed them secretly to the edge of his realm, bid them farewell and with leapt off to manage his realm.

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
Amendola wants trove of documents in case against Sandusky
BELLEFONTE — Jerry Sandusky's lawyer wants to see the pages of the complete 1998 Penn State police investigation into his client.
He also wants transcripts of the people who testified in front of the grand jury and the phone numbers of his accusers to investigate if they conspired to make accusations.
And, he wants a report that shows an interview prosecutors had with former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
Those four items comprise a small sample of the thousands of pieces of evidence Joe Amendola requested Tuesday from prosecutors. He filed a motion to compel the Attorney General's Office to provide him the evidence as part of the pre-trial discovery process.
The deadline for such motions is today.
Amendola said he has received some information from prosecutors under previous discovery requests. But, he said, some pages are blacked out or are missing and being withheld by the prosecutors.
He's requesting full, complete and unredacted copies of various police reports, investigative reports, subpoenas, and medical and psychological evaluations.
The Attorney General's Office said Tuesday the defense's discovery motion was under review.
Amendola said Sandusky thinks the requested evidence contains "notes and information which are exculpatory in nature and will tend to show the accusers'/ alleged victims' allegations against the (d)efendant have not been consistent or truthful."
Amendola filed a separate request asking the judge for an early release of the grand jury testimony taken between 2008 and Dec. 29, 2011.
State law says a person's grand jury testimony can't be released until after the person testifies at trial, but Amendola is arguing that an early disclosure of the transcripts is allowed by law.
Amendola said as many as 100 witnesses may have testified before the grand jury panels, and Sandusky thinks some of them testified several times.
The defense thinks the witnesses will be called to testify for the prosecution during a trial scheduled to be held later this year. Amendola said that if he's given the lengthy transcripts after the witnesses testify at trial, the case would be repeatedly interrupted as he takes time to analyze them.
Amendola is asking for the transcripts by Feb. 28.
The judge hearing the case, Senior Judge John Cleland, said a hearing scheduled for Friday on Sandusky's bail request can be used to address the motions made Tuesday. But, the judge urged Amendola and the prosecutors to settle the issue before the hearing.
One of the items requested references Penn State police's 1998 investigation into Sandusky in which a mother reported that Sandusky showered with her young son in a university football building.
Amendola wrote that a page from the current investigation report "describes an interview with Karen Arnold, a former assistant district attorney of Centre County, wherein she and former District Attorney Ray Gricar had extensive disagreements over a 1998 police investigation" into Sandusky.
In an email Tuesday, Arnold inferred what Amendola said was not true, but she didn't elaborate.
"If you want to know what I said on anything concerning the 1998 investigation, you will find that in my grand jury testimony," Arnold said in the email.
Amendola further requested all documents from the Centre County District Attorney's Office about the investigation, as well as Gricar's communications about his decision not to prosecute Sandusky.
Amendola is also requesting:
All Child and Youth Services reports opened because of allegations from Sandusky's accusers, including ones from Centre and Clinton counties. A Clinton County boy's report in 2008 is what triggered the investigation;
1,400 photos, including photos seized from The Second Mile. Amendola indicated they were in eight boxes.
Documents related to the football team travel to the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla., in 1998-99, as well as where the team stayed.
A complete list of all the witnesses that prosecutors intend to call, including a narrative of the anticipated testimony;
The identities of anyone who came forward as potential victims but didn't fit the profile or whose report was deemed to be false;
Copies of polygraph testing from people interviewed by authorities;
Identities of all state police troopers and Attorney General's Office investigators in the case;
Copies of 1,140 grand jury subpoenas, including those for the websites and forums of bodybuilding.com and nittanyfootball.com;
Copies of photos, books, and computer hard drives that were seized from Sandusky's Lemont house during a search on June 21, 2011;
Names of people offered immunity from prosecution in return for testifying or evidence; and
Various State College, Penn State, Bellefonte and Spring Township and state police investigative reports, including the current report.
Mike Dawson can be reached at 231-4616. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The May 1 vote marks a stark about-face for the club's undergraduate membership, who unilaterally added nine women to the club in October 2015. That move drew the ire of some graduate members, plunging the Fox into an almost year-long internal dispute. In an August 2016 internal survey, 83 percent of polled undergraduate members said they supported opening the club to women.
Fox graduate board president Hugh M. Nesbit '77, undergraduate president Alexander M. Fisher '18, and more than two dozen members of the Fox did not respond to or declined requests for comment on the vote.
This spring's undergraduate vote comes just months before a College policy slated to penalize membership in single-gender social organizations will go into effect.
Before the announcement of the College's social group penalties, more than 80 percent of the club's undergraduate membership voted in favor of going co-ed, according to a letter sent by the undergraduate leaders of the club to graduate members in October 2015.
The letter also stated that, although pressure to go gender neutral from Harvard had "forced [their] hand," Fox undergraduates had wanted to add women to the club for some time.
The move pitted the club's undergraduates against their alumni, however, as the graduate board—just weeks after the undergraduates' decision—briefly shuttered the organization's clubhouse on JFK Street and assigned new members a provisional status amidst concerns about the decision.
In August 2016, a motion to open the club to women narrowly failed to reach the two-thirds majority among graduate members it needed to pass, effectively reversing the undergraduates' decision—though the elected women are set to retain provisional status until later this year. This year, the Fox's newly-elected class was all-male.

Too many iconic people died in 2016 don't you think? Now we're starting 2017 on a bad note, by loosing Mary Tyler Moore yesterday. RIP. I am too young to remember her from her hey day. But I do remember that smile and my Mom and Grandmother laughing along to re-runs. Last night I did the same.
Did you know that Mary Tyler Moore was the first woman to wear pants on TV? She made capri pants famous, and broke the identity that a woman should only be seen outside in skirts and dresses. WOW. I found that out because while watching last night I was digging her fashion. Turtlenecks, jumpsuits, high waisted pants, ballet flats, pea coats, neck scarves, and her knee high boots, all remains current in todays fashion. Ahhh I love the 70's!
Not only was she a rebel in fashion, but also her show went outside the norm, representing women in a non conventional way. She played the single career woman, dating, showing the world that even good girls had sex, and her show included topics on birth control, equal pay, sexism, and homosexuality.
The same feminist issues I was out marching for last Saturday, January 21, 2017 at the Women's March in NY. I can't believe we're still protesting this sh*t! Kudos to her. I have even more respect for Mary Tyler Moore knowing now that she assisted in breaking down the barriers women were expected to abide by in popular culture. Thank you Ms. Moore for everything you have contributed to women's lib. We must continue the fight. Girl power!

Latest News
Sides differ as testimony turns heated
It was a threat, pure and simple, John Welty said, made to him by the woman he had suspended only 24 hours earlier.
But what kind? Of that, Fresno State President Welty never got to explain Thursday at the sexual discrimination trial of former women's basketball coach Stacy Johnson-Klein.
Under questioning from Fresno State lawyer Mick Marderosian, Welty said he returned to his office at about 1 p.m. on Feb. 10, 2005 to find a message to call Johnson-Klein. She had called about an hour earlier, asking to speak to him.
The day before, Welty had suspended the third-year coach with pay for possible but unidentified violations of university policy. They didn't remain secret for long. In about a month, the university released a 380-page report full of Johnson-Klein's alleged failings but all boiling down to this: Her erratic behavior threatened the health and welfare of her athletes.
Johnson-Klein's lawsuit alleges a different reason: Her repeated complaints about the the university's unequal treatment of women athletes and the sexual harassment she suffered from some male administrators obsessed with her clothing and body made her unacceptable as an employee in Fresno State's eyes.
His conversation with Johnson-Klein on that February afternoon went something like this, Welty testified in Fresno County Superior Court:
Johnson-Klein said "if I just listened to her, everything would be fine," he said.
The university had started an investigation into her actions and it "must be completed," Welty said he replied.
To which, according to Welty, Johnson-Klein said "that wouldn't be satisfactory and she just would have to play the card."
Welty fired Johnson-Klein on March 2, 2005, and about six months later she filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and retaliation for her gender-equity advocacy.
Welty confirmed that he viewed the phrase "play the card" as a threat.
But a threat of what?
That was Marderosian's next question, and Welty had begun an answer when Johnson-Klein lawyer Warren Paboojian objected. Welty would be speculating, Paboojian said.
Judge Donald S. Black agreed, and Welty wasn't permitted to finish.
But Welty's brief recollection of that phone conversation -- only a minute or two out of his nearly five hours in the witness box -- illustrates a key point the jury must consider: Is Johnson-Klein the victim of a sexist, male-dominated university administration that loathes gender equity? Or is she only claiming to be a victim to cover up irresponsible behavior that led to a justifiable firing?
Marderosian and Paboojian battled each other ferociously throughout the day. The session got so contentious at times that at the end, after the jury had been dismissed and told to return Monday, Black warned the lawyers about their misbehavior.
Marderosian was arguing about the bench's ruling on objections, Black said. And some people sitting at the plaintiff's table -- no names were mentioned, but only Johnson-Klein, Paboojian and co-counsel Dan Siegel were there -- had made faces at some of his rulings, Black said.
During the weekend, Black said, he'll consider whether to start issuing fines for lawyer incivility. Black and a bailiff also warned spectators to stop their chatter or risk being told to leave.
Welty testified for two hours on Wednesday afternoon, and Thursday morning began with Paboojian continuing his questioning.
Welty acknowledged that, "in hindsight," it may have been a mistake to name Scott Johnson as athletic director in 2002. Paboojian has alleged Johnson made sexual advances to Johnson-Klein and opposed gender equity.
Paboojian questioned Welty extensively about the university's response once it learned Johnson-Klein had taken a half-bottle of prescription painkillers from a player. Welty has said repeatedly this act was pivotal in his decision to fire Johnson-Klein.
Paboojian asked Welty if he or university administrators phoned Johnson-Klein to ask why she took the bottle. Paboojian asked Welty if he or administrators told Johnson-Klein she might need help and should consider entering the university's Employee Assistance Program, a voluntary program for people with problems such as substance abuse.
Welty said he didn't ask Johnson-Klein about the bottle, or suggest she enter the program. He said he didn't know if administrators did either of these things.
With Marderosian asking the questions, Welty said Johnson-Klein's policy violations went beyond taking a student's painkillers.
Welty said these included humiliating treatment of some players. He said Johnson-Klein had a player pack her bags on a road trip, including removing wet clothing from a bathtub.
Johnson-Klein might have saved her job if, even after the university completed its investigation shortly before the firing, had she admitted her mistakes and apologized for them, Welty said.
But, he said, she never did this.

Pet Lovers, UNITE! (Pet-Friendly Wedding Round-Up)/
In case you haven't figured it out, I'm pretty obsessed with creatures of the four-legged variety. Especially when it involves including them in weddings. All the feels! My own dogs were our ring bearers and were a huge part of our day---- it literally was the Best. Decision. Ever. Well, you know, aside from marrying my husband, I guess. ;)
But seriously, I couldn't (and wouldn't) have had my day without them. And since most of the inquiries I get brides-to-be regard asking how exactly to pull off having their pets in the wedding, I (finally) figured out that having a weekly, furbaby-friendly, wedding round-up would pretty much be the Best. Idea. Ever.
Bonus points that I just happen to love it so friggin much.Read More

Sometimes, it does rain on a wedding day. Most people agree that it is a sign of good luck, but most brides do not agree. Personally, I love rainy weddings. I love the way guests who may never have met tend to work together to hustle decor indoors, gather closely in a tighter space for the wedding ceremony, and laugh despite the thunder.
If it rains for a couple's wedding day, I try to incorporate this into their images. My job as a wedding photographer professional is, after all, to capture the day as it existed. In this image of the wedding bands, I used the rain drops to create texture and help tell the story of the day. If you are worried about a rainy day wedding, fear not! The sun will come out, tomorrow.

Cardio A.D.D.
Unless it's raining, snowing or terrible weather, I do my cardiovascular exercise outside: Central Park's rolling hills are just my size. If I'm looking for a long, flat surface, the Hudson River Park is perfect: gorgeous views of the Statue of Liberty, the George Washington Bridge and New Jersey 'over there'. I even like jogging the Brooklyn Bridge, ending up on the promenade overlooking downtown Manhattan's breathtaking skyline from Brooklyn's point-of-view. Stunning!!!
This week, however, the weather has been so February-like! A terrible mix of snow, rain, wind and ugliness the size of Godzilla! I found myself in the gym without my darling headphones (which aren't working and I don't have time to visit the Genius Bar). No motivating music, no junkie-TV shows, poor me. I'm a hamster on a wheel, a prisoner doing my time, trying to break free from the insanity of going nowhere, fast. "Suck it up," I say…and this is how I did it:
Skoog's Indoor Cardio-in-Purgatory:
Warm-up stretch, 5 minutes
Run 1 mile on Treadmill
Arc Trainer (or elliptical) 15 minutes, beasting it: (go as hard as you can for 15 minutes-stay focused)
Stepmill 15 minutes: alternate between 2 steps at a time, climb sideways and speed intervals
Stationary Bike 4 miles as fast as you can-select 'random' program at level 8-12
Run 1 more mile on Treadmill
Stretch 5-10 minutes

oy. I'm tired after reading that indoor workout…but yet, somewhat motivated. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll have to try it. PS – super jealous of your cool places to run in NYC!

As the prom season comes to a close with all schools out for the summer, I wanted to take a minute to comment on my favorite moments. Out of all the prom pictures to come out of this 2015 season, Amandla Stenberg and Jaden Smith's easily beats out the rest.
Despite Jaden Smith having already attended another prom last week dressed as Batman (which was sick), this week's outfit was a step above with his black suit paired with contrasting white gloves and white skirt and brought back together with black and white Nikes. And beyond having a very solid color pallete, Smith breaks gender norms once again and looks damn good while doing it.
Beside Jaden, Amandla looks stunning in a floor-length golden halter dress with a sheer calf to floor. Her gray/white/black braids look amazing and compliment the colors of Smith's ensemble. Also her septum piercing and cranberry lipstick/eye shadow duo finish off this amazing look.
Overall, our young, black youth stay winning.

London (NNS) -- Navy wounded warrior Lt. Bradley Snyder will compete on behalf of the U.S. Paralympic Swimming Team in London Sept. 7, precisely one year after a combat wound left him blind.
Snyder was serving on a Special Forces bomb deactivation team in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device detonated in his face Sept. 7, 2011.
In addition to losing his vision, he sustained burns, lacerations, and facial fractures. Shortly after the incident, he was enrolled in Navy Safe Harbor, the Navy's wounded warrior support program.
"Lt. Snyder's astounding recovery further validates the mission of Navy Safe Harbor and serves as a powerful example of the healing power of sports," said Capt. Steve Hall, director of the program. "His accomplishments are the result of his drive, focus, and positive attitude, and we are proud to have played a role in his incredible journey."
Snyder already has competed in four Paralympic swimming events within the visual impairment classification. He won a gold medal in the 100-meter freestyle - setting a Paralympic record during the qualifying round with a time of 57.18 seconds - and a silver medal in the 50-meter freestyle. He will compete in the 400-meter freestyle Sept. 7. Snyder currently holds the world record time for the event (within the visual impairment classification).
"It's going to be a pretty amazing experience to compete on that day," said Snyder. "To me, it means I've conquered blindness. I won."
Throughout the year, Snyder's Navy Safe Harbor non-medical care manager, Lt. Kristi Bickel, has established a strong bond with him. Both attended the Naval Academy and share many friends. Bickel said before Snyder's MEDEVAC arrived at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) in 2011, she felt as though she already knew him.
"His was my first very serious case, and it was really emotional. I remember how his mother - who had held it together so well before he arrived - broke down when he was transported off the plane," said Bickel. "But Brad started making jokes with his family right away and kept a positive attitude. I will never forget what he said: 'I am so lucky I only lost my eyes.' I have never known someone to completely view the glass as half-full."
In the weeks and months that followed, Bickel provided a great deal of support to the Snyder family. She served as the primary point of contact for the many people eager to visit them. She also arranged for Snyder's brother to travel to his bedside with support from the Hero Miles Program (through the Fisher House Foundation).
In addition, Bickel helped coordinate Snyder's Purple Heart ceremony, and she worked with the Walter Reed Judge Advocate to finalize his Power of Attorney document. She helped Snyder process travel claims and access entitlement pay. She also connected him with assistive technology support for his iPad, enabling him to communicate via e-mail.
"It has been amazing to see how much progress he's made. A lot of it is Brad's personality. I knew he would charge ahead. I just tried to make sure he didn't have to worry about anything else while he focused on getting well," said Bickel. "It has been great to see him complete the cycle, from recovery, to rehabilitation, to reintegration."
Bickel first discussed adaptive athletic reconditioning as a recovery tool with Snyder's family shortly after he arrived at WRNMMC. Prior to his injury, Snyder was an avid competitive swimmer who was captain of the Naval Academy swim team during the 2005-06 season. Less than eight months after his injury, Snyder competed in the third annual Warrior Games, where he earned seven gold medals. The Games also served as a reunion for Bickel and Snyder's mother and siblings, who call her a member of their family.
"I began swimming as soon as I left the hospital," Snyder said during the Games. "I'm not physically disabled, but navigationally disabled. When I swim, I can relax and not have to worry about whether I am going to walk into a wall or into a piece of furniture."
Today, Bickel is cheering on Snyder as a spectator at the Paralympics.
"It's wonderful to see Brad representing our country again," said Bickel. "His amazing story has been a source of inspiration that I can share with other recovering service members to help motivate them when they are working through their own recovery and rehabilitation."
The Navy Safe Harbor program is a key component of the Department of the Navy's 21st Century Sailor and Marine initiative, which is designed to maximize Sailor and Marine personal readiness, build resiliency, and hone the most combat-effective force.

When push came to shove, Charles van Commenee opted for a Dai'd-in-the-wool Brit.
UK Athletics' head coach turned to Dai Greene, the world 400m hurdles champion, to lead Team GB's track and field team into the Olympics . Dutchman Van Commenee had hinted he would hand the captaincy to Yamile Aldama, the Cuban-born triple jumper who has competed for three countries.
He could have gone back to his controversial choice of skipper for this year's world indoor championship, US-born Tiffany Porter.
But come decision day he skirted the plastic Brit controversy by plumping for a globally-respected athlete, who is 100 per cent made in Wales.
A man you would be ill-advised to ask impolitely, as Porter was back in March, to recite the words to God Save The Queen.
"Dai was a stand-out candidate for the London 2012 captaincy," said Van Commenee, who had maintained the intrigue by ordering all overseas recruits to learn the National Anthem.
"He is a very professional athlete who is both liked and respected by the rest of the team.
"He knows what it takes to win at the highest level and that is a valuable experience to share with the team." Van Commenee might have added that Greene the competitor epitomises Britain's bulldog spirit, but perhaps wisely he steered clear of that.
Greene did not hide his enthusiasm at being appointed 24 hours after his countryman and sporting hero Ryan Giggs was handed the Olympic football armband.
"It is an incredible privilege to be asked to captain the British athletics team at any time," said Greene. "But to be given the honour at a home Olympic Games is incredible.
"Our team is one of the strongest in history and I believe that we can go out and do Britain proud. I intend to lead by example."
He did so at last year's world championship, delivering Britain's first gold medal after favourites Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis had come up short.
And following depressing injury bulletins for Phillips Idowu and Paula Radcliffe last week, he lifted the mood by running his fastest-ever time at the Paris Diamond League meeting. "He is a very professional athlete who is both liked and respected by the rest of the team," Van Commenee added.
"I know we can rely on Dai to inspire the team."

As a parent, it's quite a moment when you're toddler first says an emphatic 'No!' The 'no' milestone should be celebrated and respected. This doesn't mean giving in to every demand, but don't see this as a continual battle of wills where all opposition must be quashed to avoid raising a brat. So many parents exhaust themselves and their toddlers by making huge battles out of everything. Choosing your battles will need to be a central pillar of your parenting style with your toddler.
Try to remember that your toddler needs your help to regulate her emotions. She needs to understand the rules and boundaries in a way that makes her feel that you are on her side not in opposition to her. This is particularly important as she will need to feel that you are her secure base of unconditional love.
Separation and independence develop in recognised stages from birth. Newborn babies do not even 'know' that you are separate from them. From around 6 months, babies begin to realise that their parents are separate from them and can leave them alone. This can lead to separation anxiety, where previously relaxed babies can become very clingy and frightened every time their parents leave the room. Separation anxiety is common from 8 months of age, but can still be very powerful in toddlers too.
If your toddler has separation anxiety or is 'clingy' it is important to respect their fear and help them to develop coping skills, and to learn that you will come back. This means saying goodbye when you are leaving, explaining you are coming back, providing comfort objects, such as a teddy bear, and of course leaving them with someone who cares for them and acts as their secure base in your absence.
One classic characteristic of the toddler stage is wanting things their own way. Toddlers have strong impulses to explore and will often respond with anger and aggression if they are incapable of, or prevented from, doing what they want.
Toddlers are innately curious about the world around them and as soon as they are mobile they will seek out new experiences. This is an important process, taking them from helpless infant, to learning child, to independent adult. However, it can be very hard work for you as a parent, as toddlers are working to their agenda (exploring the planet) and their own timetable (now!) and do not care about your plans. We are all very familiar with toddlers who are becoming increasingly independent. They want to do things themselves, they want to choose where they go and what they do, and they are very loud and vocal about it! Toddlers soon learn to say 'no' and 'me do it.'
They are not yet able to empathise with another person's needs so can seem very single-minded and focused on their own agenda. This means they will run off to explore, or stay behind to investigate, or get angry if they are unable to explore. This is compounded by the fact that toddlers can't yet express themselves fully and so become easily frustrated when their parents don't understand what they want to do.
Imagine if you had just arrived on a new planet and kept being frustrated in your attempts to explore and understand this new world – it would be infuriating. This is how toddlers feel when you insist they ignore all the fascinating things around them and go with you quickly to do something they are not interested in. All children should be encouraged to develop their independence at a comfortable pace and you will need to build in time to accommodate this.
There will be several flashpoints when you need to accommodate your toddler's independence.
1. Travelling from A to B
Toddlers tend to see the journey as important as the destination so you will need to leave earlier than if you were travelling by yourself.
2. Learning a new skill
Toddlers will become less and less happy to be passive in your care. This emerging desire for self-care needs to be encouraged. It takes a lot of patience – as you will appreciate if you've ever been running late while your toddler insists on putting on her own socks or gloves!
3. Encountering a novel item
You may have seen hundreds of dishwashers, dogs and dandelion clocks but to toddlers they notice all the new things around them and are strongly driven to investigate them. Remember how you have felt when you have visited a foreign country and seen a Japanese toilet or a bidet (apologies for the loo-based examples but these are times when I have felt the fascination of a toddler with a novel item!).
4. Time management
Toddlers run to a very different clock to adults. Sometimes their clock is running at high speed as their attention flits from one thing to the next and they can't seem to stay still. At other times their clock is running at slow speed. They are in the zone with something and experiencing 'flow' – they are utterly engrossed and time stands still for them – and for you!
I am not suggesting that your toddler's agenda should run everything. Rather, that by understanding the reality of how your toddler's emerging independence will play out during the day, you can manage your own schedule and expectations as well as your toddler's.
Not all toddlers are the same. For every thrill-seeking toddler, there will be a toddler who is more cautious and finds new people and experiences stressful. This so-called 'behavioural inhibition' seems to be quite hard-wired and it is important to respond to their individual needs.
So shy, cautious toddlers will need lots of encouragement and to see their parents:
On the other hand, some toddlers are so bold and impulsive that they will need more messages about being safe, slowing down, etc. If you have a bold and independent toddler, it is a good idea to take her to big spaces so that you can safely supervise her without micro-managing and stultifying her play. Soft play centres can be great as the areas have been designed to promote exploration and physical activity without the need for you to helicopter around her. When you are out and about it can help to choose locations where you have a big line of sight so that you can give your toddler a free rein. Good examples include:
Your role is to be your toddler's secure base from which they explore the world. It seems counter-intuitive but children who have the securest bonds with their parents are more likely to become independent, resilient and confident. As a parent, this means being consistent, loving your child and spending time interacting with her.
Toddlers should be allowed to try, fail and improve at lots of new skills; putting on socks, baking, balancing, etc. However, toddlers are not able to assess lots of risks they encounter when they are out and about. Choose locations that don't have dangerous traffic, large drops, deep water, etc. if you want to give your child freedom to explore safely.
However, toddlers also need to slowly learn to be safe in their environment. This means teaching them rules which are non-negotiable. If you choose your battles it makes it easier to have your list of non-negotiable boundaries. These rules might include:
However, it's best not to over-control their experiences. For example, rather than say 'No don't bite the lemon' a child will have a safe but unpleasant experience by biting into it. Let them have lots of different but safe experiences.
Rather than rein in your toddler's independence, it can be easier to try and choose a safe environment that allows her lots of freedom to play and explore. Children who constantly hear 'be careful, be careful' are more likely to become anxious. Make sure the environment provides lots of opportunities to take safe risks; balancing on stepping stones, jumping in puddles, picking up creepy crawlies.
With a burgeoning independence can come an almost comical stubbornness in your toddler.
This self-destructive stubbornness is familiar to all parents of toddlers. Whether your toddler is adamant she doesn't want a coat in the snow, insists that she wants to taste the vindaloo curry or insists on paddling in the freezing puddle in sneakers, it seems at these moments that all 'social referencing' of their parents' behaviour and advice goes out the window.
I think a sense of humour is a vital tool for any parent of a toddler because toddlers are loveable and ludicrous in equal measure. You have to be in awe of their chutzpah and joie de vivre but at the same time help them as they learn about cause and effect.

M A K E || This chocolate chip almond butter banana bread by Half Baked Harvest. It rivals all the best banana breads of my life.
R E A D || The Disease of Being Busy. It will do you good. Take a moment for some introspection. How is your heart doing at this very moment? Tell me you remember you are still a human being, not just a human doing.
D R I N K || This Pineapple Kombucha Light + Stormy! My feeling is that the kombucha balances the rum in this cocktail making it a neutral not-unhealthy-drink. Right? RIGHT?!
W A S H || Your face in honey. For real guys, I use raw honey to wash my face. Honey is antibacterial (helps prevent blemishes) and a natural preservative so it's great for skin (and less wrinkles). You can use it for individual pimples as well by dabbing a bit on individual blemishes. Raw honey is best since it hasn't been processed and often comes a little thicker providing a gentle exfoliation. You only need a little so it lasts a long time and ends up costing less than I was paying for natural face cleansers that still had added ingredients I was unsure about. You can add a couple drops of essential oils to your face honey (lavender or rose work well) for an added scent and relaxation bonus.
E A T || Imanishi in Little Portugal. This place is down the street from my apartment and I are their last night for the first time and it. was. amazing. The concept is Tokyo homestyle cooking so the food is comforting but refined. The cocktails are unique, the atmosphere chill and lovely (less party atmosphere than other izakayas), and the food. Ohhh the foooood. It's full of umami and you leave feeling joyously full but not weighed down. Ate: agedashi eggplant, gai lan in ground sesame dressing + katsuo-bushi flakes, octopus + fresh celery in almond oil, garlic, + ginger, red snapper carpaccio with yuzu citrus dressing, waygu beef in onion broth with rice and finally the taro root ice cream with toasted soba. Drinks to try: An array of Sake, Umehana cocktail [tequila, plum wine, jasmine tea, orange bitters], Japanese beers, + Chu-Hi's. Chu-Hi's are easy drinking cocktails made from shochu, a Japanese spirit similar to vodka but about half the percentage in alcohol. The Aloe-Hi is usually my first pick, made with aloe juice and little bits of aloe jelly.
Hoping your hearts are calm and cravings are satiated,

Leipzig District – Evangelical Lutheran Church in Saxony, Germany
The Leipzig Connection for the Minneapolis Area Synod began sometime in the 1980s, probably as an outgrowth of Herb Brokering's pilgrimages to the Lutheran communities of eastern Europe. In those years, when Communist rule kept many of the churches isolated from outside contact, the Leipzig-Minneapolis relationship consisted mainly of visits to Leipzig by groups from the synod.
Following the 1989 change in government, when the provinces of the former German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic, known by us as West Germany, our Leipzig connection waned. By 1995 only a few members of the Synod global mission committee were even aware of the former partnership.
In 1998 negotiations were initiated by us to renew the connection, based on shared ministry. In both cities, the Lutheran church faces challenges for evangelism in a secular world, a tradition of liturgical worship in an entertainment culture, and increasing social needs at a time of a reduced governmental role. It was agreed that ministry at all levels—synod, congregations, and agencies—would benefit from mutual contact with corresponding partners in Leipzig.
Beginning in 2002, a variety of groups have visited Leipzig, and they have come to us. This has included areas of education, social ministry, congregational ministry, and especially youth.
Most participants have discovered the value of the Companion Synod Program. Neither side tries to teach the other how ministry ought to be done, nor tries to transplant programs or strategies learned from the other. Instead, youth and adults, lay and clergy in Leipzig and the Minneapolis Area Synod see ministry at home from a new perspective. Also, they are strengthened by the knowledge of colleagues in a distant city, committed to and struggling with the same mission of proclaiming and serving in the name of Jesus.
Elements of Agreement between the Leipzig District and the Minneapolis Area Synod include the following:
- Share in developments of spiritual life, in the celebration of worship services, in pastoral care and parish life, as well as support of theological conversation.
- Provide information about important developments in the church, in social service and in the society, such as Kirchentage, annual assemblies, installations or farewells from church offices, as well as the exchange of delegations at important events.
- Share in broader ecumenical partnerships, which are maintained by congregations or groups of the Leipzig Evangelical Lutheran Church District or the Minneapolis Area Synod.
- Support youth exchanges and nurture existing contacts.
- Provide support for the development of the exchange of pastors and church workers for the purpose of becoming familiar with the other's situations and manners of work
The Companion Relationship is nurtured and sustained through the work of the Leipzig Companion Synod Program Committee. Assistant to the Bishop Craig Pederson provides staff support.
Building Our Partnership with Leipzig, Germany
2017 will bring the 500th anniversary of the night when Martin Luther posted his "95 theses" on the church door in Wittenberg, ushering in the Reformation of the Christian Church and the eventual formation of our Lutheran Church. Our Synod's partners in Leipzig will be deeply involved with anniversary events all year. They would like to pair, if possible, Lutheran groups traveling from our synod with Leipzig congregations that could help us get oriented there. So, we ask for your help:
- If a group from your congregation plans to travel to "Lutherland" in the next year and a half, please notify Craig Pederson (email@example.com) in the Synod office by Oct 31.
- when will you travel?
- how many participants do you estimate?
- is there a particular focus in the group (youth, musicians, elders, German speakers)?
- If your congregation would like to learn more about the Reformation or about last year's clergy exchange with Leipzig, Partnership leaders are available for forums or informational sessions: Rev. Bill Russell for Reformation history (email@example.com), Rev. Morris Wee for the clergy exchange (email@example.com), or Rev. Paul Rogers (firstname.lastname@example.com) for the Leipzig partnership.
2017 will be a great year for learning our Lutheran history and building our Partnership with the Church in Leipzig. We hope you can be part of it!
For the Synod's Leipzig Partnership Team, Bill Russell and Morris Wee, co-chairs
The first clergy exchange between the Leipzig District and the Minneapolis Area Synod was launched in 2015. Pastor Morris Wee began serving the Sophia Parish in Leipzig in September 2015, and Pastor Helge Voigt began at Christ Church Lutheran in Minneapolis in January, 2016. Both served through July 2016 and have now returned to their home synods. Another exchange is being discussed for 2018 or 2019.

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?"
"Ah yes, Mr Wall - and who are you here to see?"
"Could you just fill in this badge please?"
"Have you read our site instructions? - I'll just get you a copy" (hands over fourth generation photocopy)
"Oh yes - here is a pen".
"Yes, today is the 17th"
"I'll just notify Mr Thompson that you are here - if you could just wait over there please".
"Ah - good afternoon Mr Wall. Nice to see you again. Here is your badge - if you could just please read the site instructions on the back, Mr Thompson will be down shortly to take you to the meeting room".
Your reception is the first thing about your company that your visitors will see.
Above all, it is how they will make their first impression of your organisation.
Q-VISIT streamlines the process of getting your visitors in and out of the door, and ensures that your reception and/or security staff can focus on properly meeting and greeting your visitors and contractors, attending to their needs, and making them welcome on your site, rather than fiddling around with slips and papers and lists.
Visitors can be automatically sent an email when they are booked to visit, with a simple QR-code, which when they arrive can be swiped (on paper or their phone) under a barcode reader:
The receptionist has a screen showing all planned visits, - and a means of quickly booking in people who forget to bring their barcode.
Where appropriate, visitor photographs can be pre-stored against their records - and only admitted by reception / security after they have been checked against the stored photograph - just because someone is carrying a clipboard and says they are an auditor for your major client, does not necessarily mean you should admit them to site without verifying their identity, and Q-VISIT makes this easy.
Q-VISIT can then optionally print reusable or per-visit Photo ID, on plain paper or badge printers, as required. Visitor passes are printed automatically, with all details filled in - and can carry the visitor's photo, your logo, a QR-code for temporary departures and returning and security checks, and your site instructions on the back.
When the reception cannot be staffed, the system provides an unattended kiosk mode with touch-screen support - not unlike a supermarket self-service checkout with large clear buttons and text.
If required, Q-VISIT can even show site induction videos or presentations to visitors as they arrive - and of course it can hold separate videos for contractor staff from visitors who will be escorted, and it monitors the site induction expiry for contractors automatically, so that only new contractors and those whose induction training has expired need to be re-inducted!
Of course, the host is automatically notified as the visitor arrives (and can be notified as they depart) - but Q-VISIT takes this further - our rule- and role- based email system will also automatically notify anyone else who needs to know - from the manager of a production line that is to be worked on, to the line cleaning staff responsible for checking for swarf or other hazards on a line where work has finished.
