Earlier today, President Obama called for a raise in the minimum wage. He pointed to the gap between the rich and poor that continues to grow. His speech comes at a very opportune for fast food workers, who have plans to walk off the job tomorrow in over a hundred cities across the country, demanding an increase to the federal minimum wage.
It's at $7.25 right now, and has been since 2009.
Nancy Koehn is an historian at the Harvard Business School. She says the strikes are not a huge factor in the possibility of wage increases.
"I don't think right now the most important wave in raising wages is worker strikes. I think it's much more of a large scale appeal," said Koehn.
She says the minimum wage is stuck because we live in the age of a "constipated government" at the national level and that it will be interesting to see whether the "post debt ceiling moment" in the New Year will call for more decisions to be made in Washington.
Koehn says that around 43 percent of low wage workers have some college expereicen. That's a huge deal, she says.
"Americans understand and respect the working life. A day's work should be played at a living wage," said Koehn. "We kvetch about all kinds of things. We disagree about the finer points of healthcare, food stamps, the social safety net, executive compensation. We don't disagree about someone showing up for work, doing a job and being paid a decent wage."

VIDEO: Students collect results at school in Maidstone
Students from St Simon Stock Catholic School in Maidstone have been collecting their results this morning. The Headteacher said this was the 'best ever results' the school has had in the last five years.
PICTURES: 98% pass rate at Cornwallis Academy
Students and staff are celebrating another year of record breaking A Level results at Cornwallis Academy in Maidstone.
72% of students gained A* to C grades and the overall pass rate was 98%, representing the best results ever achieved at the Academy, with a third of all students gaining the top grades of A* and A.
Academy Principal, David Simons, said: "We are delighted for the students and staff at Cornwallis who have worked so hard this year to achieve these results. This means that over three quarters of the cohort will be going on to University, a fact that we are all very proud of."
Student diagnosed with cancer tops grades
A student who was diagnosed with cancer part-way through his A-levels has secured top grades in a string of subjects.
Tom Woodward, aged 18, underwent three cycles of chemotherapy in the middle of his exams after being told he had testicular cancer at Easter.
The diagnosis failed to deter the teenager from keeping on top of his studies at independent Brighton College.
He went on to gain an A* in psychology and As in history and English to secure a place reading history at Bristol University.
It was pretty stressful but I didn't have any choice and I just had to get on with it. I'm pretty relieved now.
I have been given the all-clear and I just have to have check-ups done every three months. It wasn't too bad because I had the chemo round my exams."
Brighton College celebrated another year of impressive results, with 96% of grades at A* to B and 100% passes.
'Relieved' students looking forward to University
We spoke to the following students at Brighton College:
Tessa Hutchinson, who studied Politics, Economics and Maths and got 3 As.
Katy Lucas, who studied Philosophy, Psychology and English Literature. She got 2 A* and an A.
Hector Bunt, who studied Maths, Physics and Politics and got 2 As and 2 Bs.
Brighton College celebrates 'record' results for a 7th year
Nervous students at Brighton College open their results
A Level students at Brighton College opened their results this morning, but they has a lot to celebrate. This year around 95% of students got grades A* - B.
Website for school leavers says alternatives to university available
A website which promotes alternative options available to students who have finifhed their A Levels says students should 'bide their time and really think about their options'.
It's brilliant that so many students have this year got the results they were hoping for and have been granted places at university. However, we can't ignore the fact that many students currently studying at university would rather be doing an apprenticeship or something similar – studies have shown this.
We strongly advise students receiving their A-Level results this year to bide their time and really think about their options...Anyone that didn't get the grades they wanted today needn't panic, because work-based learning and other vocational training opportunities are available to them."
'Formidable set of results' at Magdalen College
This is yet again a formidable set of results. What is particularly significant is the high achievement of all our pupils in the traditional, demanding, hard, 'facilitating' subjects such as Maths, Further Maths and Physics that universities and the Government now favour.
_ _
This is an outstanding year group and many of our pupils have enjoyed huge extra-curricular successes alongside their academic achievements this year. We are also very proud of our sailing squad which has now held the National title for the third year running.
College in Oxford celebrates A level results
Magdalen College School in Oxford is celebrating another set of outstanding A-Level results and a new record for Oxbridge entry.**

Side holes and maximum thickness
Do you make aluminium panels thicker than 10 mm? If yes, how to set this in Front Panel Designer?
Other question, is it possible to make side holes?
Posted By: nerarm on Nov 17, 2014 11:43AM Category: Front Panel Designer
We can only offer material up to a thickness of 10mm.
However, side holes are possible. We would need an additional Front Panel Designer file for the side (in front view as you look on the side.) Please also make sure you have "customer provided material" checked and leave us a note in the remark box how to machine it related to the front of the panel.
I hope this makes sense. If not just call us and we walk you through the process.
Kind regards,
Posted By: DianeHaensel on Nov 19, 2014 12:36AMReply
Do the materials provided by customer also are limited to 10 mm thickness?
Best regards,
Posted By: nerarm on Nov 19, 2014 12:26PMReply
Hello Nerijus,
Unfortunately yes. The limitations come from the tool lengths. We are using micro tools with cutting edges of max 11mm.
Kind regards,

Sugar (IPA: /ˈʃʊgə/, Play (info • help)) is the common name for a number of chemical substances that have a sweet taste. Most of the time, it refers to either sucrose, lactose, or fructose.[1] Sugar is contained in certain kinds of food, or it is added to give a sweet taste. Sugar is extracted from certain plants, such as sugarcane or Sugar beet.
Regular sugar (the one commonly added to food) is called sucrose. Fructose is the sugar that is in fruits. As chemicals, sucrose and fructose are both made by two smaller sugars. Glucose is the more common of these smaller sugars. The human body changes regular sugar into the smaller sugars.
Scientists call sugars carbohydrates. This is because sugars are made from carbon and water. Hydro- or -hydrate is a way to say "contains water." Carbohydrates can be simple carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are made of only one or a few of the smallest sugars. Complex carbohydrates are made of many of the smallest sugars.
Starch is a chemical found in foods such as bread, crackers, and potatoes. It is a complex carbohydrate that is made from many, many glucoses. Starch is the way non-scientists say complex carbohydrates. When starch is eaten, the human body breaks it apart into smaller sugars. This starts in the mouth. When one holds a food with starch in their mouth for a few minutes, it starts to taste sweet. This is because the starch is broken into smaller sugars that taste sweet.
Brazil produces the most sugar per person and India's total consumption of sugar is the highest for a country.[2]
There are other chemical substances that can be used to produce a sweet taste, but that are not sugar. One of them, commonly called Stevia is gained from a plant with the same name. Others, like Aspartame are completely synthetic. In general, these substances are known as artificial sweeteners, or sugar substitutes.
Sugar is not the only substance that makes food sweet. Artificial sweeteners are often used to replace sugar in different types of food.
Sugar can be different colours. For example, there is such thing as brown sugar, which is often used in baking.

The last time we had a whole night of wine and food and a child free sleepover was over 10 years ago, before the arrival of no less than 5 children. So when we were offered the chance to stay in a newly refurbished holiday let near Canterbury there was not a lot of thought required.
"Do you want a whole night of wine, food, hot tubbing, giggling and uninterrupted sleep with your best friend?"
"Erm… Yep!"
As the day drew closer we were like a couple of children at Christmas – counting down by the number of sleeps – or non-sleeps; our children all seem to think sleep is overrated. They much prefer nose-bleeds and nightmares.
On the actual day we could barely contain our excitement. If you've been wondering why your dog was crying on Saturday 25 June at around 3pm, we can only apologise for the knife-like soprano shrieking. (Did we mention that we hadn't done this for 10 years?)
After explaining to our children that us mummies were going to do some 'work' and that we'd be back in the morning we made a swift exit and ran for the car!
Honey Lodge is in Blean, just beyond Canterbury and the holiday let is one of three on the site and one of six Kent Cottage Holidays altogether. We parked the car in our allocated parking space and ventured through a gate at the side of Honey Lodge. Nothing prepared us for how beautiful the scene would be.
A large garden complete with hot tub and sauna looked out across stunning fields and woodland, it was calm and incredibly peaceful. We found the key in the security box as per our arrival instructions – which were emailed to us promptly after our booking confirmation and contained everything we needed to know before and during our stay.
Opening the door we felt a bit like Goldilocks – sneaking into a house in the woods. Although Goldilocks didn't run around high fiving her best friend and giggling because she couldn't believe her luck.
Honey Lodge is a beautiful wood cabin hand built by the owners, Michelle and Chris. It is easy to see that a lot of love and thought has gone in to the creation of this homely cottage and the reclaimed log features that form an integral part of the structure, make the place feel as though it has simply grown on the land. The abundance of pine is juxtaposed with fabulous fabric sofas, a cinema screen TV and DVD. If home entertainment is your thing, you would have everything you need. The large bathroom/ wet room contains a huge shower and was immaculate and in there our freshly laundered robes and slippers were hung invitingly for us. The bedroom was equally well presented with a king size bed, chest of drawers, dressing table with mirror and a wardrobe. The ample furniture doesn't make the bedroom feel cramped at all, there is plenty of space. The whole place was spotlessly clean and a hamper full of local goodies was waiting for us on the side. Nice.
Once we'd had a good nose around, pinched ourselves a few times and regained control of our facial muscles, we loaded the fridge with our supplies and set about unwrapping the hamper which was choc-full of local goodies. We both agreed the hamper was a nice touch and made us feel more than a bit spesh. We won't spoil the surprise by revealing what was in it – but we have left a few clues throughout this review.
Here's a short video of Louise being a hamper idiot:
Then it was time for a cup of tea and one or two delicious chocolates – from the hamper.
Time to investigate the hot tub! Swimming cossies on, we removed the lid to reveal the steaming tub of joy. Stepping in to the heated pool was pure bliss and the hour and a half we spent chatting, drinking prosecco and giggling in there was a real high light of the trip.
It was sacred grown up time – and we're not being kinky. If like us, you're lucky if you get to take a dump in peace, let alone hold a two sided conversation with another adult, without interruption, then you will understand why this was such a treat for us.
This on its own was a holiday.
After all the hot tub shenanigans we were starting to feel hungry so we decided to put the beautiful bespoke kitchen to the test. Back in the pre-sprogs days, cooking up a yummy feast and drinking a bucket of wine before passing out was kind of our thing so it was wonderful to do that again. And of course there were many immature yet hilarious text messages to our respective husbands about us having a lovely time massaging our breasts with rosemary. Obviously they had questions.. like who is Rosemary? and could we send photographic evidence of this activity?
Honestly, they really are perverted creatures.
The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the oven, hob and dish washer worked perfectly.
And all this to a soundtrack of Flight of the Conchords – which we haven't listened to for fudging ages but which still makes us howl.
The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed, including a strainer to remove bits of cork from the Prosecco after an 'incident' ..
More Prosecco was consumed with dinner before we headed back to the hot tub for a pre-bedtime dip. It's a hard life, but in the name of blogging we thought we should do it.
Everything was provided to light the wood burner in the sauna, and had we been there longer I'm sure we would have tried it out.
After being suitably warmed in the bubbling water and discovering all the lights in the hot tub and around the garden we decided to get some sleep. The prospect of a night of uninterrupted sleep was quite possibly one of the most anticipated perks of this whole adventure.
Oh the sleep! THE SLEEP THOUGH!
We awoke in the morning completely at our own pace. Nobody pulled our hair or told us they urgently needed a poo, nobody screamed because they'd just had a nightmare about a crocodile, we just opened our eyes, gradually remembered where and who we were and padded out to the kitchen for a cup of hamper tea in total peace, save for the sounds of the wild life waking up around us. What a way to start the day.
Breakfast of hamper jam on toast and fresh strawberries was held in the beautiful garden, washed down with some hamper fruit juice.
Suddenly reality hit us, we were going to have to leave this beautiful place and head home. Oh no! We'd just experienced a freedom that we hadn't known for a whole decade. We felt 10 years younger.
Declaring to ourselves that we would do this more often from now on, like maybe once every five years, we accepted our fate and got ready to leave. We used every single minute of our time. We both had a shower in the beautiful bathroom, then we packed our bags, made the beds, tidied up, loaded the dishwasher and took lots more photos for our review. We learned not to turn the dishwasher on whilst the other person is in the shower as it seems to do something to the water temperatures. There was a bit of yelping at one point.
We loaded all of our things into the car before going back to the lodge one more time to say goodbye. We'd become quite attached to our temporary home.
We had a truly wonderful night at Honey Lodge and judging by all of the comments in the guest book on the coffee table, so had all of the previous guests.
If you are looking for some adult-only down time with friends or other couples (It sleeps 6) then you won't be disappointed by Honey Lodge. The place is the perfect getaway and the lodge itself has a warm and cosy vibe. With it's country style kitchen and log burner, we reckon it would be awesome in the colder months too. It provides comfort and luxury without being pretentious or ostentatious. It is simply perfect.
Don't take our word for it. You can find and book Honey Lodge here: Get me to Honey Lodge asap!

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Kent Cottage Holidays for allowing us to review this amazing place. We had a brilliant stay and we would love to come back to try the sauna.
Of course, should you wish us to review any of your other properties we would be happy to oblige.. 😉

STOP BUILD day is Tuesday, February 17, 2015, at Midnight for whatever time zone you are in.
On Stop Build Day, you have to stop working on your robot and put it in the bag provided by FIRST. There are specific instructions provided in the FIRST Manual in what you have to do and the process for securing your robot and completing the paperwork. The official information for 2015 is here.
You will transport your robot to your event on your own, so you will need to plan ahead for how to get a robot of whatever size and shape and weight you have to the competition site. Remember, you cannot open your bagged robot at the competition site until the inspectors tell you it is OK.
You will need to provide the inspectors a copy of the signed forms for your robot bagging, so be sure to save it and keep it in a safe place!
In the "Recycle Rush" game you do not have to have bumpers. If you do you must bag your robot and your bumpers, but the bumpers can be in a separate bag.

Easy Ways to Better Our World This Winter
I attended grade school and high school at schools with missions to get kids involved in service. A couple of my favorite memories were while volunteering at various organizations. Do not get me wrong, not all of the stand-out memories from those years were from volunteer work (I mean, I was FAR from a Saint!) but a lot of them were. In 8th grade, a group of students volunteered together at a Women's and Children's Shelter downtown. I remember dividing into two groups; one group played at the outdoor play area with the "older" kids while the other group held the babies in the nursery. I started out with the older kids and had a blast playing with them and seeing their faces light up while playing games. After a couple hours, I went to the nursery to spend time with the babies. I had a baby sister so I was very comfortable with them. But as I thought of my little sister at home and how loved on she was by my parents, my brother and I, and all the people that love her, I couldn't help but think "Where is this baby's Mom? Dad? Was her sibling one of the kids I played with earlier outside? Does she know how loved she is? When we aren't here, are there other people loving on her and making her feel as special as she is when her Mom can't be with her?" I understood that this baby's circumstances were very different than my own, but at 14, I couldn't grasp all the ways. But, it was enough for me to want to know more, to help more, to impact more. Fast forward to high school and my most memorable volunteering experience was at Sharing and Caring Hands, an organization who serves meals to homeless. Anyone can stop in for a warm place to enjoy a hot meal. There were a number of different personalities that came through line. There were some too exhausted to acknowledge us, some who were incredibly outwardly grateful, thanking each person who put an item on their tray and sometimes even offered a hug of thanks. Then there were some the people who seemed ashamed to take the handout, but offered a quick smile before rushing away. But, the person that stuck out the most was a little girl named Tabitha who seemed about 8 years old. As soon as she asked if she could help me pass out the drinks (of course I said yes!) I knew we were buddies. She followed me around and after everyone seemed to have their fill of beverages, we sat at one of the open tables and colored together. The following week, I again signed up at SACH, eagerly hoping to see her again but she was nowhere to be found, nor did I ever see her at future trips there. Still today, every once in a while Tabitha floats into my head and I wonder where she is and if she is doing okay. I'm pretty sure she made a bigger impact on me than I on her, but I hope I had at least made that day a little brighter for her. After college, I wanted to start back up volunteering so I got involved with Big Brothers & Sisters of America. It was an amazing experience and I continued to be pen pals with my 'little sister' for years. These are just a few ways I have volunteered, but there are SO many more organizations out there. While this list is just scratching the surface, here are some easy ways to better our world this winter. You can also check out easy volunteering opportunities for children HERE.
With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, here are a few easy ways you can make a difference this winter:
- Bell Ringing – Salvation Army (http://salvationarmynorth.org/volunteer/bellringing/) –
Grab a friend and sign up online for a timeslot that works for you. Don't forget your favorite cup of coffee and even a portable speaker to play Christmas music! This is also a great way to introduce youngsters to serving others, so feel free to make it a family affair.
- Feed My Starving Children (http://www.fmsc.org/) – With locations in Arizona, Illinois & Minnesota, FMSC is an awesome place to volunteer with a fun and uplifting atmosphere. You can volunteer solo or sign up as a large group. This is a great option for large extended families to volunteer together or for companies to get employees out of the office for bonding and good deeds!
- Check a local Church –
Many Churches work with various organizations and are constantly looking for volunteers.
- Look within your own backyard…literally!
Have a neighbor who is elderly, dealing with a loss or illness, adjusting to a life-changing event (even a happy one, like a new baby –or two)? Offer to mow their lawn, shovel their driveway, or water their plants. Better yet, just surprise them and do it!
- Share your talents.
Enjoy crocheting? Make a blanket for a shelter. Love wreath making or holiday crafts? Drop some off at a Senior Living center to add some holiday pizzazz to the residents' living spaces.

Hallway WOW - Wonderful Outstanding Work
The fifth grade teachers put up these displays this year for their classes that I thought were kind of fun. I caught two of my former fourth graders adding work and took pictures.
The displays are made with file folders in the first few days of school. Students completed an "about me" sheet that was attached to the first part of the file folder. The entire file folder was then laminated. A gallon sized storage bag was added to the bottom part of the file folder. As students complete work they can add them to their bags. In this case students were adding brochures they had done on matter for science class.

The History of IV V I IV
During the year 2014 Nocturr, with a depressive heart, first contemplated dominating the world as a one man black metal band. These contemplations were the beginnings of IV.V.I.IV. (Roman numerical representation of DEAD).
Nocturr was active in the Pahang black metal scene as the guitarist in such legendary hordes as KNIGHTWAR and CLAW. From the same scene rose seminal grim Malaysian black metal bands such as BAZZAH.
In late 2014 Nocturr was approached to provide a track for the local compilation GRANDEUR OF EAST by Celestial Frequency and Itna Tsirhc. For the compilation the track 'Ancient Prophecy I Desired' was recorded. Nocturr performed vocals, guitar and bass with session drumming by Shaman from the occult dark death metal band TASYIM.

About Us
Our Beginning
Quite by accident, some beekeepers stopped by one day and asked us if we'd be willing to let them winter their bees on our property. In exchange, the beekeepers offered 4 gallons of honey (that's a lot of honey for a single family). That Spring and Summer, the bees were transported off our property to orchards in the local area and returned late in Autumn. Again, in exchange, we received four gallons of honey. Now, we had a lot of honey!
At dinner one evening someone said, "Let's sell the honey… We'll call the company, 'Spease Bees Honey Company.'" The name stuck, we developed a label and it took off from there.
Local Honey For Local Good
Bees work hard to benefit and protect their hive. Everything they do has some benefit to their hive – their community. Spease Bees Honey Company believes we should do the same. We want to make our community a better place to live by helping improve the literacy of local children. As a result, a portion of our profits are donated to the Laguna Sunrise Rotary Foundation where that money will be used to purchase dictionaries for 3rd graders, fund playwriting workshops for 4th graders and support the Reading Buddies program.

William Kelly Major Works Commentary
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.Give ye thanks to Jehovah," etc. Israel affords the great object-lesson of man's folly and distress in the land and out of it, as on the sea; crying to Jehovah and heard in His unfailing mercy; at last delivered from the enemy and gathered out of the lands on every side (not a few Jews from Babylon merely) to enjoy the kingdom. It is in no way the church blessed with Christ in the heavenly places, though the church may well profit from all, and enjoy the truth and the mercy here described.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

Much of the work of the church is done through committees representing the governing departments.:
One Body with Many Members
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, through many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. (First Corinthians 12)
Within the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) each local congregation owns its own property, organizes its own programs, and calls its own staff but each congregation is bound together in covenant with all other Disciples congregations, with Regions such as our own Upper Midwest Region, and with the "General" denomination-wide units around the planet. The local, regional, and general manifestations of the Disciples are not arranged in a hierarchy with one manifestation having authority over another, but rather we are bound together in a mutual covenant which recognizes that each brings unique and important spiritual gifts to our common table. So also within a local congregation there is not a hierarchy where those of higher office rule over those of lower office. In most cases, important decisions are made by consensus or by a simple majority vote following open discussion at a board or congregational meeting. The musician who is able to summon the souls of worshipers to new appreciations of God's grace and the church gardener whose fingernails have the grit of the soil beneath them have gifts that are equally spiritual. The church is called into existence in response to the loving acts of God and so our purpose is the increase of the love of God and neighbor.
The title Deacon, meaning servant/minister/attendant, has been used since apostolic times for a major order of ministers within the church.
Within the Disciples of Christ, the function of Deacons (as individuals) or the Diaconate (all deacons collectively) is patterned after Acts 6:1-6 where Deacons were chosen to assist the apostles in the distribution of charitable provisions to the poor widows of the early church.
Deacons continue to have the connotation of table servers in that they prepare and organize the Lord's Supper each Sunday. As the ancient Deacons collected and distributed charitable funds, today's Deacons are members of the congregation's administrative Board which oversees the congregation's budget and programs. The deacon's responsibilities include seeing to the physical needs of the church and its members. Deacons are in leadership of, or a part of most of the committees of the church. Deacons welcome and continually invite greater participation in the mission of the congregation.
"At the heart of every vibrant congregation is a dedicated core of deacons who are living out of the joys of Christ's own servant heart." --Your Calling as a Deacon by Gary Straub and James Trader, II
Elder is a title carried over from Judaism into early Christianity and connotes a person of special dignity and responsibility within the church community.
Within the Disciples of Christ, Elders are persons of relative spiritual maturity who have been chosen by the congregation to be recognized as spiritual leaders. Collectively and individually, they seek to discern God's call for the congregation in mission and service and serve in partnership with the Pastor in responding to the pastoral needs of the congregation. Elders serve in a pastoral role to the Pastor.
Elders serve as spiritual advisors to the Pastor and staff, and to the congregation at large. Typically, Elders teach, serve on the congregation's administrative Board, are active in leading the congregation's programs, and most particularly, pray at the Lord's Table.
The Chair of the Elders organizes and schedules the Elders for service.

Will gratitude boost your happiness?
Actually, there are different opinions about the answer to this question. Here are some things that are known:
- Bad news sells newspapers and keeps the media busy.
- Consumers are exposed to a lot of negative information daily that creates fear.
- It's easy to think from a scarcity mindset and yearn for times when life was better.
- Gratitude isn't usually found in children until they are about 7-10 years old.
People are naturally attracted to the negatives in life. Perhaps this comes from earlier survival instincts when it was important to be aware of the negatives around you. Otherwise, you might die.
In addition, there are several obstacles that contribute to a lack of gratitude or make it difficult to feel grateful. They are:
- Forgetfulness,
- Lack of awareness.
- Narcissism or entitlement which is a feeling something is rightfully yours.
- Preoccupation with materialism.
- The belief you are a passive victim.
In spite of all these things, the past 15 years of research answers the question of whether or not gratitude will boost your happiness with a clear answer: not only will gratitude increase happiness, it is essential!
What are the benefits of gratitude?
Even though the final answer isn't in as to whether or not gratitude will increase your happiness, according to Positive Psychology research, gratitude can:
- Bolster self-worth, self-esteem and confidence.
- Help you recognize what you value about your current life.
- Encourage moral behavior; you want to reciprocate kind action toward you.
- Help you cope with stress and trauma.
- Improve your physical health and increase energy.
- Help build social bonds and connectedness with others.
- Tend to neutralize negative emotions, i.e., worry, frustration, sadness and anxiety.
- Decrease taking good things for granted or hedonic adaptation.
Gratitude is a choice. It is possible to learn how to feel grateful more often by:
- Focusing on the present moment.
- Appreciating someone or something in your life as it is today.
- Determining what makes it special to you.
- Taking a few minutes to savor what you are feeling.
You might be wondering how often you need to practice being grateful to reap the benefits. For most people, gratitude is most effective when they practice it once or twice a week. This keeps your ideas fresh. Some people like to do it daily, and there is nothing wrong with that as long as they are getting the benefits they want.
Gratitude can create emotional prosperity and is universally endorsed by all religions. It creates balance when you feel overwhelmed. Finding ways to practice being grateful can enrich your life and increase your resilience especially when you are feeling negative.
What is your experience with practicing gratitude? I would love to hear from you.
Until next time,

Make that four games in a row decided by five points or less, and the Arickaree-Woodlin Indians have come out on the top side of them all.
With the win, the Indians improve to 9-3 overall and a perfect 3-0 in league play. The team will battle it out in a key league game this Friday at home against Otis. They will continue their home stretch Saturday against Rocky Mountain Lutheran and next Tuesday against Weldon Valley.
Arickaree-Woodlin entertained the Idalia Wolves last Friday in what looked to be a blowout from the start. After a 23-8 first quarter advantage for the Indians, Idalia rallied back to cut the Arickaree-Woodlin lead to 34-24 at the break.
Idalia continued to chip away at the deficit, outscoring their hosts 11-10 in the third. With one quarter to go, Arickaree-Woodlin remained ahead 44-35. The Wolves gave it one more push to try for the comeback win, but the Indians held on for the 53-49 win. Stats were unavailable.

Angeles City, the Philippines, July 21 (CNA) Taiwan and Philippine authorities have arrested members of a phone and Internet fraud ring led by a Taiwanese man in the Philippines, said a Philippine investigator who declined to be named.
Taiwan's Investigation Bureau provided the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation with information on the fraud ring, the investigator said.
After one month of surveillance, the Philippines investigators on Friday busted 21 members of the fraud ring in Angeles City, 90 kilometersnorth of Manila, the investigator added.
When police raided the fraud ring's bases, the members were caught attempting to burn and destroy evidence, the investigator said.
During initial questioning, 13 members of the fraud ring said they were from Taiwan, while eight said they were from China but investigations are underway to confirm that information since no passports or other documents were presented or found, the investigator familiar with the case pointed out.
The name of the Taiwanese ring leader has not been released by Philippine authorities as the case is still under investigation, the investigator said.
During the raid, police found telecommunication equipment, lists of fraud victims, and scam guide books, the investigator added.
The fraud ring rented two luxurious mansions in the city at a monthly rate of 65,000 Philippine pesos (US$1,549.33) and sealed cracks and openings in the buildings'fences and main entrance so that no one could see what was going inside, the investigator said.
A neighbor told CNA that the fraud ring had moved into the mansions approximately two months ago and kept a low profile. Only one member was seen leaving the mansions to purchase daily necessities, the neighbor said.
The suspects worked by impersonating law enforcement officers, local officials or customer service personnel to trick or threaten victims into transferring money to the ring. Most of the victims were from China, the investigator said.
It is not clear how much money the suspects obtained but Philippine authorities are carrying out further investigations into the case.
Many of the suspects said they had been tricked into such activities by advertisements in newspapers and had no idea what the job entailed until they arrived in the Philippines, the investigator said.
The Taiwanese members were paid between NT$30,000 (US$999.56) and NT$40,000 per month, while the Chinese members received 2,000 yuan (US$312.73) monthly, according to investigators.
Investigators also found during initial questioning that the suspects impersonated Taiwan diplomats at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines by using fake business cards.

(CNN)When Andre Harvey saw a police officer taking down a man, he did what's becoming increasingly common: he whipped out his phone and hit record.
But what the incident captured instead wasn't the worst aspect of police brutality, but the best example of officers and citizens banding together.The takedown
Plano, Texas, police Detective Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a 7/11 carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash.
Hoffman, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car.
A struggle ensued and a crowd started gathering.
"The detective has a martial arts background and he later said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background too because he was able to break away so easily," Plano Police Department Public Information Officer David Tilley told CNN. "The suspect was also slick with sweat and John just wasn't able to restrain him."
The detective yelled out for help.

Lloyd Banks may be hitting us with two new projects in the very near future, as he intimated on Twitter.
Although it doesn't seem like we'll be getting an album from Lloyd Banks soon, we may be getting some more free music from the rapper, which we definitely can't complain about. He may have severed ties with his G-Unit affiliates, but that hasn't stopped his creativity nor productivity. The Punch-Line King took to Twitter to hint at two new projects.
Banks first simply tweeted to fans, "Halloween Havoc 2?" referring to a follow-up to his 2008 effort Halloween Havoc. His next tweet was another project-hint, a Gangsta Grillz tape, which Banks says is coming "sooner than you think." Let's hope that's true.

Perry, speaking at Earth Day in Dallas, lauded the work of the energy department's national laboratories and promised the labs would continue to break technological ground, even as his staff in Washington prepare for steep cuts to come.
RELATED: Trump budget would hit Texas hard
"Those 17 national labs are the most extraordinary jewels in the world," Perry said. "A lot of places wish they had just one."
Perry, a former presidential candidate and the longest serving governor of Texas, started at the department last month. Texas energy executives welcomed his appointment, and pointed to the state's record of energy production, low regulation and job creation as signs Perry would do well in the department.
Perry infamously forgot the name of the department during a presidential debate — while saying he wanted eliminate it. But on Friday, he called his post the "coolest" job he has ever had.
The world faces extraordinary challenges, Perry told the audience at the $100-a-plate luncheon at Dallas' Fair Park. But the solutions — cyber security and supercomputing among them — are being hammered out in energy department labs.
The U.S., he said, can lead the world in energy availability, affordability and environmental protection all at once.

How Restaurants Can Use Uniforms to their Advantage
Restaurants can be described as hectic, fast-paced, chaotic, busy, disorienting, and many other mind-spinning adjectives. As a unit, restaurants need to stay extremely organized and keep a constant, steady flow while numerous pairs of hands work together to create a successful guest experience.
The restaurant machine must be well oiled to keep itself running at peak efficiency and to avoid any sudden breakdowns. The overall goal of creating a unique and satisfactory guest experience can only be achieved when everything goes right.
One major factor in the success of a restaurant is its employees, and uniforms can greatly aid (or hinder) an employee's ability to perform.
What Can Uniforms Do for Your Restaurant?
The infographic below depicts how uniforms can help keep everything running smoothly when certain features are taken advantage of, emphasizing the power of uniforms to provide safety, functionality, and a specific, consistent appearance.

It won't be long before psychoanalysts put me – and every interviewer – out of business. Back home in the UK, you increasingly get the odd bit of therapy jargon creeping into actors' interviews (being the most insecure people in the world, these guys went "in treatment" long before anyone else discovered the pleasure of having their soul stroked). Out here, though, psychobabble is a sickness from which few in the public eye have remained immune.
"Do you know what I've learned over the years?" twentysomething starlets will say, trying in vain to furrow their brows. That's when you know there's a real corker coming, a little gem of banality straight from the self-help aisle. "That life should be taken one day at a time." Everything's "a journey" (usually of "self-discovery") leading to a single ambition: "learning to love oneself". "Negative energy" gets a lot of adverse publicity ("I try to avoid all that negative energy," one director insisted when I asked whether he ever read his own reviews), as does the notion of regret ("so soul-sapping"). Then there's "projection". Out here, politicians and Richard Gere are fond of rebutting tricky questions with "you're projecting" which, having the benefit of meaning absolutely nothing, tends to confuse journalists into curtailing further questions.
You know you're in the presence of a true therapy junkie the second they start referring to themselves in the third person. "It was only then that I discovered who the real Johnny Depp/Jennifer Aniston/Robbie Williams was," they'll say, and you look anxiously down at your Dictaphone, convinced that it'll spontaneously combust at the sheer pomposity of it all.
Theodore Dalrymple once defined the term "psychobabble" as "the means by which people talk about themselves without revealing anything". That might be crediting its showbiz disciples with too much shrewdness. When it comes to actors, they're just doing what they do best: reciting a script.
On a good day, the pedestrians on Sunset Boulevard look like extras from a slasher movie. This week, a lot of them actually have been. Screamfest is in town, and on billboards and in bakery windows – where marzipan severed fingers are laid out alongside the red velvet cupcakes – gore reigns.
The "horror hounds" intrigue me most. These pigeon-toed, pockmarked weirdos travel around America attending horror conventions, collecting memorabilia and stalking stars of the lucrative genre.
Attending the premiere of a friend's film, Madison County, I watched with mounting distress as she was bludgeoned with an axe and left, a writhing, bloodied mess, in woodland. "Corn syrup," she whispered triumphantly in the darkness. "They hosed me down with a great vat of the stuff." Still, it wasn't until afterwards, when she was besieged by Night of the Living Dead-style horror hounds, that I actually feared for her safety.
We may be a bilious-faced, yellow-toothed bunch in Britain, but at least we have the decency to live in a country dark enough to hide these shortcomings for 364 days of the year. Natural light, for most of the inhabitants of Beverly Hills, is not so much a benefit as a curse. Because, when it comes to Hallowe'en-style face peels and auburn barnets glinting on restaurant patios, there's nothing quite as vicious as sunshine.
Recently, I've noticed a new addition to the freak show: the "instant eye lift". I know about the IEL because I watch too much TV and I've seen too many women of a certain age lunching in broad daylight. Some of these ladies have what look like photo-corners (or sticky-back plastic) holding up their eyelids. According to the adverts, the IEL is the only way to avoid "eyelid overhang". Just when you think you've got it taped, they give you something new to worry about.

Nicely done! It's so much more personal and...I dunno, immediate? to post this way, isn't it? I mean, so many of the blog posts we read feel sorta detached, like they could have been written by a program (actually, I have one LJ friend that IS just an algorithm, literally a program spewing out semi-random phrases. And half of its stuff feels just as real as every other digital posting.
So, welcome to the 19th century!

Hopefully I can figure out the trick to making a quality scan that isn't a huge image! And it'd be neat if I could get more color to come through. One of the things I love about fountain pens is the availability of lots of lovely ink colors.
But the ice is broken, at least!

Welcome to anablogging!
I've always been intrigued by the idea of using a fountain pen. However, my handwriting is so horrible that I'm not sure I want to invest in one. It would be kind of like putting a ruby-sequined sweater on an ugly dog. That's why I use a typewriter most of the time.
I did get out an old calligraphy pen with a fine nib and played around with it a bit. The words do flow so much more smoothly, but my handwriting still stinks.

I would highly, highly recommend Getty and Dubay's Write Now book on penmanship, if you ever decide to give fountain pens a go! Seriously. My quick and dirty everyday handwriting isn't great (as this blog post shows), but it's mostly legible, and I *can* write pretty nicely now when I really try. That wasn't at all true a few years ago. I should scan some of my old handwriting for compare and contrast purposes...it's scary!
Handwriting fascinates me - I could spend hours looking at scanned old letters and journals partly just for that reason. It's interesting how styles have changed over the years. And it's easy to waste time in the penmanship sections of some of the pen forums. Some of the samples absolutely blow me away. True art, for sure!

Professional Negligence Claims - Architects, Builders and Surveyors Affected
Providers of professional indemnity insurance in the UK have revealed the massive increases in premiums over the past two years for Architects, Builders and Surveyors following the Grenfell Tower tragedy in June 2017. The high-rise fire at Grenfell, in which 72 people died and 70 more were injured, was the UK's worst residential fire since the WW2. As well has having a big impact on fire safety procedures and the construction and refurbishment methods that are used for high-rise buildings, the rise in professional indemnity premiums – by more than 200% in some cases – may put future developments at risk as professionals find it hard to afford cover. Professional indemnity insurance ('PI Insurance') is a type of insurance designed to protect businesses in the event that a client deems work produced or professional advice provided as inadequate. PII is designed to... Read More
Litigation Funding – More Choice Needed For Claimants
September's annual report from litigation funding business LCM has highlighted the overall lack of choice and competition in the UK's litigation funding market. The report from the Australian based funder also highlights that the market for claimants seeking to fund litigation as a pro-active choice, rather than through financial necessity, is "almost entirely unaddressed". According to LCM, most competition for litigation funding in the UK has been focussed on individual, one-off claims in specific market sectors where a business or individual litigant has no option other than to finance their claims this way. Whilst the UK litigation funding market shown steady growth over the past few years, market analysis suggests that only approximately 3-7% of cases were funded by significant litigation financiers. Commenting in the report, LCM CEO Patrick Moloney said that this pattern of funding was a result of there being... Read More
Pink Floyd Legend in Jingle Contract Dispute
Pink Floyd legend and multi-instrumentalist David Gilmour has become embroiled in a contract dispute with the composer of a well-known and popular jingle that can be heard at train stations throughout France. The jingle, originally composed by Frenchman Michael Boumendil, is used by French national railway company SNCF throughout its 20,000 mile network. Gilmour, who joined Pink Floyd in 1967, first heard the jingle when travelling across France in 2013. In an interview with Le Parisien in 2015, he claimed that the up-baet 2-second piece made him "..want to sing and dance". Gilmour subsequently contacted sonic branding specialist Boumendil, asking if he could use the jingle in a separate song. Alledged breach of contract Once Boumendil realised that the request was genuine and that he wasn't being pranked, an agreement was reached between them and SNCF in 2015 and Boumendil received a co-writing...

Pitchi is an innovative new destination which allows you to sell online in a unique way. Established in Australia, Pitchi allows you to sell your goods via videos – showcasing them so that they really stand out.
You can choose your theme, go for humour, drama or something simple – the choice is yours, but you have to get your message across in under 60 seconds.
As technology increases in popularity, most people have access to a video recorder on their phones. It is easy to get carried away browsing the videos that are available and sometimes you will forget you are actually watching sales pitches.
The website layout is straightforward and easy to navigate, plus you can see how many times a video has been viewed and each has a price clearly marked.
As an example there is an artist in Richmond (VIC) who draws a detailed Iron Man with a lead pencil. This creation takes 5 hours but is merged into a 60 second clip. The drawing isn't what is for sale – instead it's a brand new inspiration pencil which you can pick up for $1. Whether you want to purchase the pencil or not, the creativity in the video is definitely worth watching.
If you are a more serious shopper, there are some interesting pieces of artwork for sale. I also like the fact that there is a Kids and Babies category and am looking forward to seeing more additions in there. I have my eye on the animal Laundry Hampers for Your Kids. The video is simple but it showcases the size and functions of the product, something that isn't demonstrated in a traditional photograph.
With demand for online shopping rising in tandem with our video watching habits online, this platform is only set to grow. This really changes the way you can buy and sell and represent your product in the way you want to – and you have to love the fact that this idea was hatched right here in Australia

This is odd. When non-Muslim analysts of jihad terror quote Qur'an 8:60, "strike fear [or terror] into the hearts of the enemies of Allah," and other verses of the Qur'an like it, Islamic spokesmen in the West invariably charge that they're taking it out of context, and that it only applies to a very limited situation in Muhammad's day, and not to the present. Is Chicago imam Mohamed Elimam learning Islam from the writings of greasy Islamophobes?

Remember when you were younger and you used to have loads of teddy bears that you'd play with? Well today is a day especially for those memories as today is Teddy Bear Picnic Day! A day especially for those memories!
As the sun is shining and it's hot outside, grab a blanket and go have a picnic with your teddy bears! I know you still have a bear somewhere - I still have several, so don't hide them! Teddy bears are something that all children had once in their life, any many people keep them well in to their adult years. I bet you can tell me exactly what your childhood bear was!
For all your parents out there, grab your kids a blanket, cut up a few sandwiches and give them some squash and they are ready to go! If you have got one, or even if your children have, a tea set would be perfect. Don't forget to kit out all the teddy bears too, they can't be forgotten!
Teddy Bear Picnic Day sort of combines with the 1950s show Teddy Bear's Picnic which was a massive hit and may have inspired this day!
Here is my challenge to you for today: I want to see all your teddy bear picnic pictures! Tweet me @LovelyChubly #TeddyBearPicnic, or again for you Twitter-less people, post in the comments below and I shall reply!
If I wasn't dying from hay fever, I would be grabbing my bears and sitting outside! However, because I am, I am cooped up inside whilst the sun is out - sad face :(
Here is an image from partybits2go.co.uk illustrating perfectly what sort of things you could do!
That's all for today, folks. Tune back in tomorrow to find out what awesome things I have in store!
Toodle-oo, peeps!

RATING agency Standard & Poors said it has downgraded 15 European banks, including Barclays Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank , after European lawmakers agreed on a framework that prevents governments from having to bail out troubled banks.
The banks, many of which are systemically important, also included ABN AMRO, Bank Of Ireland and ING Bank.
The European Parliament signed off this month on new laws to make it easier – and less costly for taxpayers – to wind down problem banks, after long wrangling over rules for an industry blamed for triggering the worst economic slump in a generation.
S&P said extraordinary government support for these banks would likely diminish as regulators implement the reforms, downgrading them to 'negative' from 'stable.
"We observe similar powers coming into force in Liechtenstein and Norway, and already in place in Switzerland, which are not EU members," the ratings agency added.
S&P also raised its ratings on Danske Bank and Argenta Spaarbank , while keeping 'negative' outlooks on 38 banks and 'stable' outlooks on 15 banks. It maintained its CreditWatch rating on five banks, with negative implications.

Hello Mags,
This question and comment page is new and I couldn't reply to your own page, so I started a new page with the same name.
I just happended to log on just after you posted your comment.
Now, it's difficult to diagnose the true cause of your discomfort in person, let alone through the internet. Having said that, I'll give you some points to consider.
Everyone has a bad bite to some degree. I would put the "Bad Bite" diagnosis on the shelf in your brains library and search for more information.
Your Dentist has great intentions, but it sounds like from your words that he/she may not be able to diagnose other possible causes as mentioned in this website. I used to be the Dentist that only saw a "Bad Bite" as the problem, then I recieved more training and experience and saw that most often the Bad Bite is not the primary factor.
If you indeed need to correct your bite, the Centric Relation splint is the way to go. If you believe that you need to correct your bite, you need to wear the splint 24 hours per day 7 days per week (24/7) for about 3 months to treat that.
Then after the 3-4 months records and impressions are taken to mount the cast models of your bad bite together for the Dentist to diagnose exactly which teeth need modifications so that the teeth can meet together when the Condyle is in Centric Relation.
Then depending on the diagnosis, the Teeth are modified to correct the bite.
Three to six appointments generally is necessary to diagnose and identify the degree of the "Off Biteness" or "Bad Bite". Your Dentist may be qualified to correct your bite, but you do need to explore the possibilities of other factors causing your discomfort.
The problem is there are many "TMJ Dentists" that in my opinion do not treat "TMJ" patients with the correct philosophy and treatments that are appropriate for the majority of TMJ patients.
Your Dentist is going in the right direction with the CR splint, but, it isn't the right direction if your Dentist believes that your discomfort is derived from your bad bite, when in fact it may be other factors that I've mention here in my website.
It will take me 1-2 hours of searching for a qualified TMJ Dentist in your area, I can hopefully work on that tomorrow. I'll need to know which County and Cities to search in and how many miles you are willing to drive outside the county to find the right Doc for you.
You need to decide yourself of the direction you will go...meaning...Do you believe that it's possible that Environmental stresses in the last 6 months or so could have played a roll in your muscle tightness? If so, seek another second opinions.
Well, let me rephrase that. The CR Splint will get you comfortable, and you may not necessarily need to correct your bite after your discomforts are gone. Sometimes we need a crutch for a while until our body recovers from Environmental Stressors.
One option you have is to wear the Splint at night time only to see if that's enough to relieve your discomforts during the day. And if you can get through the day fine, then correcting the bite may not be necessary.
I hope this helps.
Any other questions?

Reuters: "Republican presidential hopefuls ratcheted up their tough talk against illegal immigration in a debate on Tuesday in Nevada, a state where they might need Latino voters to win the White House. Fierce opposition to illegal immigration and tough border control is one of the party's hot-button policy issues. But some of the talk on the issue -- and the focus on sealing the border with Mexico -- does not go down well with Latino voters.
Whoever becomes the nominee to oppose President Barack Obama's re-election bid next year will need support from Latinos -- the largest and fastest growing U.S. minority group -- to win the White House."
