by G.A.Dwyer Astaphan
At this time when Christians reflect on the biblical journey of the three wise men from the East, and all of that other good stuff, I wish one and all a Happy, Peaceful and Blessed Christmas and New Year.
But this article isn't about Season's Greetings. It's about education.
In my opinion, our education system isn't working.
I believe that it's failing to deliver to our children, not only the requisite knowledge and skills in the various academic and technical subject areas, but also the broader and deeper knowledge and appreciation of themselves, of each other, and of life; and it's also failing to inculcate in our children the two critical prerequisites for human completeness, namely, character and compassion
It's failing because, sadly, there's been no apparent philosophical framework, no overarching vision, to ensure that our nation's children are properly and roundly educated and cultivated, and no will to put the proper structures and programs in place.
The evidence of this failed system is all around us, painfully and shamefully palpable and visible, whether in the deep pits of poverty or on the perches of power and pomp.
Knowledge, character and compassion are in scarce supply.
Yes, the home has its role to play in the education of our children, as do other institutions. But they too are also failing, epidemically. And putting our education system on the right path can do a lot to halt this epidemic. The school can be the catalyst which the whole country needs.
However, for the moment, there's little indication of a sea change, as we note that successive Governments over the past 30-40 years have presided over, and even unwittingly boasted about, an education system which has in fact not remained relevant, progressive and creative.
And we, the people, have watched the decline without as much as a loud murmur. In fact, we are the decline.
Now, we don't have to try to reinvent the wheel. All we need to do is to shop around for successful models, or a combination of models, which we can then adapt to our realities and aspirations.
And there are a number of successful education models to which we can refer for guidance.
Let's look to the East.
A recent global analysis has shown that the top 12 countries in the world for the education of children are: Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Finland, Estonia, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, Poland and Vietnam.
We can have an in-depth look at all of these countries, and they've all been impressive. But the one that stands out for me is Singapore, and for three reasons: first, it holds first place in mathematics and science in the world at primary and secondary school levels; second, it's a tiny country, smaller than Dominica; and third, it's a young country, only 51 years old.
When Singapore became independent in 1965, it was plagued by poverty, crime, unemployment, and poor health and housing conditions. The Government of the day focused, at first, on two main areas: education and housing. And their steady progress in both areas helped greatly to bring the other issues under control.
By 1990, Singapore had become one of the world's success stories. Indeed, its achievements have been quite amazing.
Think of it. A small, young nation with problems of education, crime, unemployment, housing, and health. Sounds familiar? Yes, but Singapore's problems in 1965 were far worse than ours in 1983, and far worse than ours in 2016, after 33 years of nationhood.
What its leaders did was to develop a vision and a sensible, practical strategy to tackle the problems.
Let me give you a brief picture of how Singapore approaches education. But before I do so, I hope that you've noticed that (i) the top 5 rated countries are all in Asia, and (ii) most of the top 12 countries are relatively small in terms of physical size. For example, Hong Kong is smaller than Guadeloupe, and Taiwan is half the size of Cuba.
Singapore allocates 20% of its annual budgetary spending to education. It takes its education, its teachers, and, especially, its children very seriously. It doesn't play around when it comes to teaching and learning.
In fact, education is its major investment and that investment has paid off handsomely in terms of economic and social development and stability.
The principal objective of the education system in Singapore is to ensure that every person has a good sense of self awareness, a sound moral compass, and the requisite skills, initiative and strength of character to face the challenges of life.
Such a person is expected to be responsible to family, community and nation; to appreciate the beauty of the world around him or her; to possess a healthy mind and body and a zest for life; to be of sound judgment; to be an active and committed team player, and an informed, concerned, civic-minded citizen, firmly rooted and a proud and honourable Singaporean.
And the education system, the subject choices and loads, the teaching methods, the training, skills and attitudes of teachers, and the physical environments, etc., are all crafted and mandated to produce that type of citizen.
Getting a child to and through school is, for the Government and people of Singapore, a process of holistic, human development and nation building, not a mere exercise designed to pass 'x' amount of subjects.
And their vision, strategy and techniques are equally visible at their Kindergarten, their primary, and their secondary school levels.
Kindergarten provides the environment for the children to learn to interact with each other, individually and collectively, and to prepare them for primary school. At Kindergarten, they learn two languages, numbers, personal and social skills, games, music, and outdoor play.
Upon completion of primary school, Singaporean children are expected to be able to differentiate right from wrong; to have a sense of their own strengths and areas of growth; to be able to cooperate, and to share with and care for others; to have a lively curiosity about things; to be able to think for themselves and express themselves confidently; to take pride in their work and in work generally; to have healthy habits, and an awareness of the arts; and to know and love their country.
By time they're done with secondary school, they're expected to have moral integrity; to believe in their own abilities and to be able to adapt to change; to be able to work in teams and show respect, tolerance and empathy for others; to be creative and have an enquiring mind; to be able to appreciate diverse and differing views and communicate effectively; to take responsibility for their own learning and their own actions; to enjoy physical activities and appreciate the arts; and to believe in their country and to understand what matters to their country.
And the philosophical framework for Singapore's education system continues through college/university and to adulthood generally, as people are expected to have moral courage and stand up for what is right; to be resilient in the face of adversity; to be socially responsible and to collaborate and cooperate across cultures; to be innovative and enterprising; to be able to think critically and communicate persuasively; to be purposeful in the pursuit of excellence; to pursue a healthy lifestyle and have an appreciation for aesthetics; and to be proud to be Singaporeans, and understand their country in relation to the world.
It is within this philosophical framework that the mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the humanities, and the technologies are taught and learned. No wonder they're Number One in the world in mathematics and science at both primary and secondary levels.
A successful education system, a successful country. No magic. Just a clear vision, and sensible policies and practices.
So here's what I think we in St.Kitts & Nevis ought to do: Let's look to the East….and learn.

Palliative care in a hospiceLeave a Comment
It is often assumed that, for someone with a terminal illness, the need for palliative care does not arise until their final few weeks of life. In reality, palliative care is actually the term given to the treatment and care provided to people from the moment they are first diagnosed with an illness from which they are not expected to recover.
While hospices are best known for admitting people in their last weeks of life and providing them with both medical care and emotional support, many hospices now become involved with the seriously ill at a much earlier stage and are able to offer some support in their own homes. To a large extent this is a response to the fact that there are simply not enough beds available in hospices to meet the demand for palliative care, particularly for those in the last stages of a terminal illness.
Spending their final days in their own home
While hospices undoubtedly make a wonderful job of caring for the terminally ill, the fact is that most people would still prefer to spend their final days in their own home if this can be arranged. This is particularly the case where they still have a spouse or partner who would like to spend as much time as possible with them and perhaps share in providing the care their loved one needs.
Macmillan Cancer Support has found, for example, that 73% of the 157,000 cancer patients who die every year in England and Wales would prefer to spend their final days at home. However, data from the Office of National Statistics shows that more than 50% of these patients (over 80,000) die in hospital and a further 17% (nearly 27,000) in a hospice, with only 27% (just over 42,000) dying in their own home, with the remaining 5% passing away in care homes.
As Mike Hobday of Macmillan says: "It is a tragedy that, each year, tens of thousands of cancer patients are not able to get their dying wish – to die in their own home, surrounded by their loved ones – because they do not have the support they need."
Palliative care at home – offering an alternative to end of life care in a hospice
If someone close to you has a terminal illness and would prefer to remain at home, Care at Home can help you make it happen. We have been caring for people in their final months of life since 1990 and all our carers receive regular training in palliative care.
Our palliative care services
We will provide your loved one with round-the-clock personal care and we will also help you obtain assistive devices for them from Social Services (for example, a riser recliner chair, a hospital bed and a hoist). Most importantly of all, we will help you engage a team of Macmillan or other specialist palliative care nurses. Apart from their overall nursing skill, they play a vital role in palliative care by managing any medication prescribed for pain relief.

I've read a number of reactions by various people and most of them seem unsure about what to make of it. I liked one quote I read and I intended to post a link to it, however as I followed the trail I found it led back to Brian Mclaren's blog, and I'm unsure if everyone who reads this blog is aware enough of the weirdness of who he is to send a link his way. But even his writing it was a quote from a friend who sent in a letter. I still think it a valuable thought.
Perhaps everyone is right. Perhaps the death of Osama Bin Laden has made this world more safe. I do not believe, however, that his death has made this world more beautiful.That is a very apt description. I also appreciate my friend Todd's explanation. He writes,
From a biblical standard all of us are deserving of eternal separation from God. I believe Bin Laden got what he deserved. I don't get what I deserve only by the grace of God so I can't boast. God is just and God is gracious.His thoughts remind me of one of the Newsboys best songs (I remember from my childhood) called "Real Good Thing." It says,
When we don't get what we deserveYou have to look closely, but it is actually saying the same thing in two different ways. None of us can be certain where Osama went, but death is something that will happen to all of us eventually; be that by firefight with commandos or slowly fading in a hospital bed.
Thats a real good thing, a real good thing
When we get what we dont deserve
Thats a real good thing, a real good thing
Osama's death should give us pause. But perhaps the fact that we're all deserving of eternal damnation should give us pause too. What a gracious savior we have.

REVIEW: And Death Shall Have No Dominion: A Tribute to Michael Shea
by admin on Jan.26, 2017, under Books, news, reviews
Devotees of World Fantasy Award–winner Michael Shea's work will welcome this tribute volume, a labor of love put together by his widow, Linda, and weird fiction expert Joshi. The entries range from poems to excerpts from his longer fiction, including the epic fantasy series Nifft the Lean.
There are enough glimpses of Shea's impressive imagination to make newcomers seek out more of his writings. One highlight is an unpublished novella, the moving "Credit Card," in which the lead, Ricky Deuce, journeys to see his cancer-stricken wife, Angie, who has to impersonate her sister to get insurance coverage.
A number of talented writers, including Laird Barron and Jessica Amanda Salmonson, share their memories of Shea. The last word, appropriately, belongs to the author himself, in the form of a short meditation about horror in which he lyrically describes humankind as "spinning inside a discus of dust and fire flung out by the first heartbeat of time."
Review from Publishers Weekly.
Blackgate Magazine Tribute: The Books of Michael Shea

Blackgate is paying tribute to the novels of Michael Shea.
Editor John ONeill by writing about a different novel each week.
Thanks to Library Journal for this review of ASSAULT ON SUNRISE
by admin on Sep.02, 2013, under reviews
Shea, Michael. Assault on Sunrise. Tor. (Extra Trilogy, Bk. 2). Aug. 2013. 288p.
ISBN 9780765324368. $25.99: ebk. ISBN 9781429988278.
Reality TV has reached its extreme with the advent of live-action films in which the demise of a character (or an extra) involves the actor's actual death—and in which the survivors receive a small fortune just for living through the "movie.- When a number of extras pool their resources and relocate to a town of their own, naming it Sunrise. CA, they provide a safe place for other survivors and arouse the anger of Panoply Studios, which paid out millions in much-needed funds.
Now studio CEO Val Margolian has developed a scheme for exacting his revenge on the surviving actors as well as their town. He also hopes to make a huge profit from filming the destruction of Sunrise through an attack by unstoppable mechanical insects. In the tradition of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Westworld, and The Running Man, Shea creates a brilliant and cautionary satire that questions what passes for modern entertainment.
This sequel to The Extra takes current reality TV several steps further, delivering a thrilling action-adventure that, naturally enough, would translate well to cinema.
BRIGHT ORANGE FOR THE SHROUD–John D. MacDonald
by Michael Shea on Aug.15, 2013, under news, reviews
I haven't read all of John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels. But of those I've enjoyed the one that moved me most was BRIGHT ORANGE FOR THE SHROUD. So slender a book, but each page a well-honed blade.
Boone Waxwell reads like an up-river Mephistopheles. That's just one of the things that's so wonderful about MacDonald– he knows how to make monsters. (I use the present tense because like all great writers, he is always with us and still very much alive for me.) Though more prolific than Raymond Chandler he had the same gift of fashioning living, breathing, human gargoyles. And he knew how to give those gargoyles play; he let them run out some line and tear up the scenery; he savored extravagant violence, understanding that monstrosity is a baroque form, requiring resonant and detailed confrontation with evil–sometimes charismatic evil.
Waxwell's rape kills both its victim and her worthless husband, who dies by her hand (so right that gesture).
But oh, the monsters death when it comes! How more than fitting! How tailored (though large in the bias!) to his crime! It's among the most fulfilling climaxes in popular fiction.
Locus Magazine's Faren Miller reviews ASSAULT ON SUNRISE

Locus Looks at Books: Faren Miller
Assault on Sunrise, Michael Shea (Tor 978- 0 -7653-2436-8, $25.99, 288pp, hc) August 2013
Though I haven't been able to keep up with everything Michael Shea has written in various subgenres of SF and fantasy since I started reviewing his work more than 30 years ago, he never disappoints. Even when I arrive in midtrilogy (Assault on Sunrise is book two), it's not hard to catch up with the quirky cast of players and techs associated with the future Hollywood introduced in The Extra.
As cities like Los Angeles become more like enormous slums and a few industry moguls run amok without fear of governmental restraint, some people escape to their own odd little communities: towns like Sunrise, up in the Trinity Mountains where the air is still clear and the corporate fist hasn't quashed all freedom. But that's about to change.
Mainly in order to strike back at the little group of upstarts who disrupted filmmaking in The Extra, Panoply Studios' vengeful CEO trumps up a murder charge that condemns Sunrise and all of its inhabitants to the latest, most sweeping and ruthless form of judicial sentence: a ''live-action'' filming of an attack (also known as Assault on Sunrise), that follows an exhaustively planned script where invading monsters aren't just special effects. Instead of digital manipulations, Panoply's Hollywood conjurers deal in something more like mad science, an unholy combination of genetics and robotics.
The refugees have enough experience, and links to insiders still in the business, to get some notion of what they'll face, yet they can only scramble to set up makeshift countermeasures as the attack escalates and grows ever more complex. Soon they're busy stealing ''rafts'' (the flying ships suitable for either camera shots or bombings), lab testing a sample of the bizarre gel that develops into seemingly immortal, selfregenerating giant bugs, or pursuing an urgent quest for design flaws in the finished products.
Shea doesn't simply give us harried action figures in a sketchy landscape. By Chapter XII, ''The Monster's Flesh'', we know these people well enough to feel the host of individual presences and high emotions that jostle against each other in a passage like this one:
At the back corner of Ike's Engine Repair's
big-vaulted garage was a small, crowded
machine shop. Devlin bade everyone in.
Mazy, Lance, and Radner were already
there. Shutting the door, she sealed them
all in the cold oily smell of machinery. It
was somehow the right scent, a smell of
mustered weapons, of danger and urgent
One character – whose wife is four months pregnant in the book's opening scene – takes a more direct hold of later chapters, speaking in the first person. Like a film's occasional uses of close-up and specific focus among larger vistas, Curtis takes us with him into the heart of his own adventures, though he never looms as an epic hero would – not even after managing, with a ''lucky shot,'' to blow the head off an insectile invader.
Amid such mayhem, not everybody can survive, and each loss cuts deep. But enough do make it through, or get born into chaos, to leave me eager for the battles of book three, Fortress Hollywood.

We are collecting and assembling a database of in situ data for validation of ET-rates. This database will be used for the evaluation of the prototype ET-models, and will be released for public (pending licensing agreement) once ready.
The SEN-ET Validation Dataset (VD) includes observations from the representative sites in temperate climatic zone, semi-arid climatic zones, and will cover different land types, with a priority on agricultural sites (annual crops and orchards) but also coniferous forest, broadleaf forest, grassland and savanna.
The following guidelines in terms of site selection for validation data have been identified:
In selecting flux sites, special attention has been given to the documentation of the flux data set and the characterization of uncertainties and data pre-processing. Direct observations of energy fluxes (radiation balance components, sensible and latent heat) are a requirement for all sites. Ancillary observations which may add to a better understanding of the land surface processes, like for instance vegetation variables, in situ measurements of land surface temperature etc. are desirable. Temporal coverage must match the availability of Sentinel 2 and 3 data, and continuity of measurement in 2018 is needed. At least 5 cloud free days per year is an additional requirement.
More information on data availability, site locations and data formats will be published once ready

First, let me explain that wild title above. My series for Penguin/Obsidian Books are all cozy mysteries and each one has a comfort food theme.
You might ask, "Hey, Chris, what is COMFORT FOOD?" "Well, dear reader, it is what I'd like to think of is food or sweets that grandma used to make, or mom used to make, or dad always made, or Joe at the diner makes. It's your favorite go-to food when you are feeling low and need some comfort. It's the way mom makes that sweet potato casserole. It's that meatloaf you grew up on. It's grandma's apple pie and now you have the recipe and make it every Thanksgiving for your kids. And hopefully, one of your kids will make it for their kids.
You might also ask, "Hey, Chris, what's the setting for your comfort food series?" Well, dear reader, I picked the perfect setting for my series: a diner! My character, Trixie Matkowski's Silver Bullet Diner, located in small town Sandy Harbor, New York, is on the shore of Lake Ontario.
Trixie Matkowski has the same first name as my favorite childhood sleuth, Trixie Belden. As a kid, you could always find me lying on my bed reading and re-reading Trixie's adventures. I'd be done with one book, and have the next open so I wouldn't miss a word. I'd like to think that Trixie Matkowski is a lot like me. We have a lot of things in common: love of food and desserts, love of Lake Ontario, small towns, little rental cottages, quirky friends and Polish heritage.
Like Trixie Matkowski, I've always been a foodie and love to cook and bake. As for diners, I have my local favorites that have stood the test of time and various owners. A lot of the old diners, like the Silver Bullet, were fashioned after railroad dining cars. My grandfather used to work at Onondaga Pottery (which turned into Syracuse China and is now defunct) which made china for various diners, restaurants, and even railroad dining cars. I have several collectible railroad china pieces, and whenever I use it, I think of where it might have traveled and the dining cars in which it sat.
Friends who have read my books relish in sharing their favorite diners with me. Oh, the hardship! Great food and great company. So, while I should be writing, instead I am eating at various new and old diners.
But my favorite will always be diners like the Silver Bullet, a shiny aluminum establishment from the 1950's or so, with a grand history and food that comforts. The smell of coffee permeates the air, and deserts take a ride on a lighted carousel. The waitresses are friendly and no one rushes you out.
Think of me sitting across from you in a booth with a worn Formica table and red vinyl seats that ergonomically form to my butt. I'll be the one eating fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and buttered corn on the side.
"Of course, Nancy, I'd love desert. I'll have a cup of thick black coffee with my apple pie. Definitely, a la mode. Vanilla ice cream, please!"

For the third year in a row, Saint Anselm College is proud to host the Northeast Regional Mock Trial Tournament for the American Mock Trial Association January 31 - February 2, 2014. Four rounds of competition are organized, with Round 1 on Friday evening; Rounds 2 and 3 on Saturday; Round 4 concludes the weekend on Sunday, which will then be followed by an Awards Banquet in Davison Hall.
"Being chosen three years in arrow as a host is a testament to the welcoming environment we have here at Saint Anselm," said Jean Couture, director of student activities at Saint Anselm and co-host (along with Fr. Mathias Durette, O.S.B.) for the tournament. "It also speaks volumes to our Benedictine tradition."
The Saint Anselm mock trial team was founded four years ago by alumnae Alyssa Hatem '12 and Alexandra Puglisi '11. It has grown exponentially in that time, celebrating significant victories and earning respect from the mock trial community. This year, the college will field a team of 10 students who will compete against 23 other teams from schools such as Dartmouth, Boston Colllege, Tufts, Brown, Bowdoin, and others. Students will fill the roles of attorneys and witnesses. A total of 71 judges will also be involved, many of them Saint Anselm alumni.
"Mock Trial allows our students the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills under pressure and in front of real attorneys and judges," said Couture. "It's also an opportunity to network with other students and alumni from around the region."
The top seven teams will receive a bid to an Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS) tournament in March. After the ORCS round, the top six teams from each ORCS tournament will receive a bid to the National Championship Tournament in Florida in April.

Moreover, summer shoes tend to have no arch support which eventually results in triggering plantar fasciitis. Wearing an orthopedically supportive sneaker would help alleviate these issues.


text: Students using financial aid in the college bookstores may purchase only required books and supplies that are needed for their registered courses for the term. Items not approved for purchase with financial aid include but are not limited to apparel, food, cell phones, gift items, and gift prepaid cards. The college does allow a one time purchase of course related electronic items such as laptops, tablets, scientific calculators, uniforms and tools. Students purchasing laptops or tablets must have received Pell for at least one prior semester. During the book purchase period, books and supplies purchased using financial aid cannot be returned to the college bookstore for cash. Amounts for returned items must be credited back to the aid items that paid for the books and supplies on the student's account. Financial aid students may spend up to $1200 per semester not to exceed their available credit balance.

Barcode Font
Kits for Legacy Systems
home -> Barcode Fonts -> Legacy Kits
Early models of Hewlett-Packard laser printers accepted plug-in font cartridges, including one called "Bar Codes & More" that included several barcode fonts. The specific control codes required to print barcodes using this cartridge were embedded in many data processing applications. System administrators who want to upgrade to new printers must either restrict their choices to printers which can recognize the Bar Codes & More control codes or change the control codes embedded in their legacy software.
This Barcode Font Kit includes downloadable fonts
that emulate the HP Bar Codes & More font product. The fonts can be
downloaded to any printer that supports PCL5 or higher... virtually
every laser printer manufactured. The fonts respond to the same control
codes used by the Bar Codes & More cartridge, so no changes to existing
applications are needed.

Skyhawks recognized for academic excellence
EASTON, Mass. (August 3, 2017) – The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced last week that a record 831 teams have earned the AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2016-17 season including Stonehill College's women's volleyball team. This year's AVCA number once again breaks the previous years' total of 764 and sets a new all-time high for this award.
The award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
"I am very proud of my team's academic accomplishment," stated head coach Kathleen Colpoys. "Our players are constantly setting goals that push them to be successful on and off the court. This award represents their hard work and dedication in the classroom throughout the entire year."
The AVCA Team Academic Award, celebrating its 25th year, is the single largest award offered by quantity of schools, players and coaches honored. Since the 2000-01 season, the number of recipients have increased every single year but two, while amassing a 532 team increase over the span of the last decade. Since the award's inception in 1993, the amount of award winners has increased from 62 to its current number of 831.
Over 1,000 different schools have earned the award in the program's 25-year history, with 8,461 awards given out total.
The Skyhawks join Adelphi University, Bentley University, Franklin Pierce University, the College of St. Rose, Southern Connecticut State University, and Southern New Hampshire University as the Northeast-10 Conference teams to make the list. Among all 263 NCAA Division II institutions that sponsor women's volleyball, 118 programs were honored for academic excellence across the country for the 2016-17 academic calendar.
Stonehill women's volleyball team had six players boast a GPA between 3.50-to-4.00 in the latest Northeast-10 Spring 2011 Commissioner's Honor Roll, including freshman Rachel Dunlavy (Brighton, Michigan/Father Gabriel Richard) who posted a 4.00 GPA.
The 2016-17 Skyhawks wrapped up the season with a 12-13 overall record and a 7-7 mark in NE10 play. Stonehill will open up its 2017-18 season by hosting the Skyhawk Invitational on Saturday, September 2 battling Shepherd University with a 5:30 p.m. matchup.

Order 4234 Lakewood "The Story Behind the Glory"
4234 Lakewood is a 171 page soft cover book.
"The Oasis in the Desert of Detroit"
"You see the Castle, but do you really know my story?",
In this 1st volume of subsequent books to come, you will discover, even before the foundation of this "Promised Land" was laid, how I had to fight for what you are able to witness here at 4234 Lakewood today.
Some may look at the Castle as being just an elaborate, expensive piece of real estate. If one would take just a second they would see the hand of God cradling a man who had all the odds placed against him. Hope and inspiration should enter into one's mindset.
In the harshest reality of trying to survive in Detroit, in the natural, my flesh dealt with some of the many adversities of life such as alcohol addiction, adultery, financial ruin, foreclosure, repossessions, utility shut offs, divorce and fornication.
Even though, in biblical terms of characters, my life mirrored the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel and Lazarus. I knew that I had to remain "Blessed with no Complaints".
As if I wasn't already dealing with enough, the treatment that I received from the City felt like a continuous pouring of salt into the many open wounds in my life. On many occasions, I felt betrayed by a city that I loved so much. Not all city workers or elected officials are bad, you have some that are very nice and go out of their way to help. Then you have those that you receive the brutal and torturous treatment from, at least that's what I experienced. The reason I described the treatment as such is because some of them do not care about the little people and I was one of them. There were times that I would simply pray for them by saying, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Praying for them actually helped my healing process.
I will continue Rebuilding Detroit brick by brick,

If you don't have an account at Office Live Workspace or have never heard of that service before, please skip this.
Office Live Workspace is an online storage service from Microsoft where you can upload documents directly from any of the Office programs using the Office Live add-in. The service was launched some two years ago and offered 5 GB of free storage space to all users.
Microsoft also maintains another cloud based storage service called Windows Live SkyDrive that not only offers five times more storage space (25 GB) but is even integrated with Office Web Apps. That means you can view and even edit your Office documents in the browser through SkyDrive.
Since Windows Live SkyDrive now offers all the features that were available in Office Live Workspace (and even more), it make little sense to have them both.
Therefore Microsoft is now giving users a simple one-click option to help them copy move all their documents from Office Live Workspace to Windows Live Skydrive.
To get started, sign-in to your Office Live Workspace account with your Windows Live ID and click the "Upgrade now" button. All your documents will be transferred to Skydrive (they'll send you an email once the transfer is complete) and you can then permanently abandon your Workspace account.
Please note that existing "workspaces" will become "folders" in Windows Live SkyDrive while your Lists and Notes will converted to .xlsx and .docx formats respectively.

Gadora received a few photos of an overstuffed chair, in want of an ottoman. Currently the suede leather taupey-olive chair sits underneath a window to the left of the TV-console and is rarely used. Having quizzed its owner about her space, Gadora suggested a pouf… actually a couple of square poufs that could be stacked for an ottoman or separated to use as additional floor seating.
Later, having shared the idea with a friend who snickered at such a word (but admitted it's fun to say), I sent both Ladies the following ottoman round-up: to one a suggestion, to the other a reference. West Elm's poufs for shape reference…
Ottomans are tricky, no? If one didn't accompany your favorite lounger, then what? Search endlessly for one to match the chair's fabric and shape? Who has the time? Well-used, the current trend is oversized ottomans that double as a coffee table, but she already had one of those. A square pouf would be casual and non-fussy, less expensive than traditional ottomans… and equally as practical.
While not entirely square, this pouf by Etsy-seller "SodabyAmy" offers a sweet rectangular spot to rest on one's laurels.
Not suitable to include a pic, I sent the Praxis memory-foam ottoman at Overstock. I'm not proud, folks, but it had to be done. Solid micro-fiber suede with a memory-foam center could be just the vanilla she needed. It wasn't (whew!). Last, but not least, Gadora suggested the 15″ square Kantha pouf or a few of the flatter 18″ square cushions at Mothology.
Within minutes of sending my suggestions our "caller" wondered what I thought about the Kantha. LOVE, I replied. It's vintage fabric exterior (it will be a surprise when it arrives) will play nicely with her collection of other pieces. And it's lightweight, so she can move it around. With a handsome TV tray, it will function as a side table too. Can't wait to hear how it works out!!!
• • •
In case she wanted round. Sadly, the 4,080 DOLLAR Flocks Pouf by Rotterdam-based Christien Meindertsma is out of stock. Gadora personally hearts the yellow, but the PLUS 6,900 clams prices it slightly out of reach.
E Kenoz ~ Specializing in Moroccan-style home furnishings with 3 pages of poufs.
Fine-crafts.com ~ 49 poufs to choose from.
Unica Home ~ pretty poufs by Missoni Home.
Velocity Art & Design ~ Intricately embroidered silk dupioni Agadir poufs by Roost.

Guest blog by Natasha Vorompiova, SystemsRock
You know what happens as the year starts drawing to a close.
Everyone starts reflecting on their life in a really general way and sort of haphazardly coming up with resolutions for the new year. . .resolutions that they rarely follow through on.
As the Systems Chick, I'm here to give you a few simple steps that can help you strengthen the foundation of your business so that you can ride smoothly and quickly into your successful 2014!
Step #1: What Do You Do Every Day?
Create a master list of all the things you do in your business. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or complicated. You can keep a sheet of paper by your desk or just leave open a document so that you can jot down what you're doing.
Are you writing copy, handling client inquiries, sending out invoices?
Step #2: Why Are You Doing These Things?
Once you've got a fairly detailed list, look more closely at the items on it. Group them into broader categories (e. g. Marketing, Financial, Administrative, etc.) so that you can understand why each process is important and what part of your business it supports.
Combining your regular tasks into larger categories allows you to see the bigger picture by helping you understand where those individual elements fit into the overall scheme of your business.
Step #3: How Do You Do These Things?
Lastly, create a standard procedure for the repeatable processes you listed under Step #1 by recording a video or audio, creating a checklist or step-by-step.
Avoid getting overwhelmed by breaking your systems-related work into small, manageable steps that you can take one at a time to reach your bigger goal.
You'll be amazed by how much clearer things will seem once you get them out of your head.
Natasha Vorompiova is the founder of SystemsRock, architect of business systems that work and a Certified Book Yourself Solid Coach. Her clients are small business owners who start their businesses with passion and a desire for freedom. Natasha creates systems that ensure clients get more done in less time and pave the way for greater profits and long-term success.

This handcrafted wine was produced in very limited quantities with the utmost attention to detail. The grape varieties were carefully selected from the highest quality plots in the finest vineyards. each variety was aged separately before blending took place. Only the finest components were used in the final wine.
Montefiore Kerem Moshe was aged for 16 months in small French oak barrels. The wine is deep colored with layers of complexity. it has aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries, hints of cedar, tobacco and a long lingering finish.
The wine is Kosher.
- Wines in bottles of 750ml./75cl. Minimum order 6 bottles.
- Price is for 1 bottle.

I guess for me intention and reality have not quite aligned. I spent time transitioning my blog and getting it updated posted once and let life take over. What is up with that?
I love this song…I think it is going to be big this year
….I digress
I guess since I was last here we did a few things. We took the boys to Schnepf Farms to pick peaches, Jackson really got into it this year. He was much more cooperative than his big bro!
I spent my Mother's Day with my 2 best boys. we were working on our backyard so it wasn't really relaxing.
But the results made me happy, even if I had to spend a lot of time at my 2 favorite big box hardware stores.
We were able to get in the pool by the middle of the month. With the life vest, Jackson now acts like he owns the pool and is giving Nicholas a run for his money. I will be surprised if they aren't swimming without them by the end of the summer.
We spent Memorial Day Weekend with Mike's brother's family. In between pool time there was lots of Apple friendly fun.
Nicholas had a couple of friends birthday party's over the weekend so we had fun with the 5 year old friends at gymnastics and Peter Piper.
Jackson took over my iPad. The only way to get him to eat was to let him have it at the table. He looked like he was at Starbuck's.
I took the last day of school off and took the boys to school. They had a fun last day with Miss Jacci.
We now have a kindergartner. So proud of this dude!
To celebrate we headed to Coldstone for ice cream before cooling off in the pool.
It's officially summer in the Carr House!
Lot's of time in the air conditioned house playing the Wii.
Jackson drew this yesterday, it looks like one of the characters in his favorite Nickelodeon show and iPad App from Team Umi Zoomi. Pretty good for a kiddo that needs a little therapy for fine motor skills.
He is so fun.
I finally finished the family room drapes. Love that Jackson was admiring them.
That is our past month. Looking forward to seeing my family and going to an Angels game this month, and hopefully I will very soon paint my bedroom. The boys are in summer camp in the mornings and for the first time since Nicholas was born, Mike has a few hours alone every morning.
Have a great week!Tags: Jackson, Mother's Day, Nicholas, Peach Festival, Schnepf Farms

5 Reasons Your Business Needs An Explainer Video
Explainer Videos are one of the most effective marketing tools of 21st Century. They are the short online marketing animated videos with the goal of explaining a particular product/service. If smartly created, they can have great impressions on the minds of the viewers. They have seen explosive growth over the past few years. There are many reasons for this. Here I am pointing out the Top 5 reasons:
Easy to Understand
Compared to text explanations, explainer videos are much simpler and easier to understand. It lets you explain what your company's product/services are all about and why they are important in long term. A video aims at telling a convincing story about why to apply, use or own a particular product/service in 60-120 seconds and 150-300 words. In addition to this, in a video, human voice portrays information, so viewers can better understand and relay information.
Increased Conversion Rates
Videos can easily explain the difficult data easily with the help of images, music and animation within a short span of time. Viewers are more likely to buy your product/service after watching an accompanying explainer video that delivers your idea powerfully. This way, videos help viewers turn into buyers or customers. For example, DROPBOX increased their conversion rates 10% by simply using an explainer video on their homepage. This 10% increase led to 10 million extra customers. Hence, Animated Explainer videos can be considered to be a SECRET CONVERSION TOOL.
Interesting and Engaging
Animated videos are fun to watch while being informative at the same time, so people find them interesting .A well crafted video has the capacity to give a fun and interesting spin to even the most boring of topics. Besides that, website visitors are more likely to stay 2 more minutes on your website if there is an interesting video and thus the engagement rate of the audience is increased.
Increased Google Rank
According to 2009 Forrester study "pages with video are 53x more likely to rank on the first page of Google search results." Though this study is 7 yrs old but it states a fact that Google SERP's prioritizes video results.
Furthermore, with the hectic schedule, today many people prefer to visit those sites with video so that they can understand easily and in less time and if the video is engaging enough to lock traffic on the website, Google ranking is likely to increase.
Ability to go Viral
Videos also boost shares on social media sites as they are easy to share. 90% of viewers are going to share the video with their friends and relatives if they found it interesting. With the advent of Social Media like Facebook, twitter, Youtube, Twitter etc one can reach out to millions of users in matter of no time. Thus, video will not be confined to the website; instead they will get a wider reach through share button. This assures that a lot of people will understand your product/service and come back to you when they need more information or need your product/service.
In a nutshell, animated videos can behave like a backbone of your marketing plan, helping to catch up your intended prospects, capture the attention of your audience quickly, address their problems and make them take Call 2 Action all in just 60-120 seconds.
I guess the above mentioned reasons are enough why a business whether it be a startup or established marketers needs an animated explainer video.
I hope you find this blog useful 🙂

Indiegogo co-founder Danae Ringelmann is in Berlin this week for Campus Party Europe and to help kick off the crowdfunding platform's "deep launch" in Germany. She is speaking today at 11am and tomorrow at 5.30pm and 9.45pm (all on the Hipatia stage), and is also hosting a meetup tonight at Berlin's Sankt Oberholz – check it out for free drinks and info on Indiegogo's Gründer Garage project with Google.
It's pack-in day at Campus Party Europe and Indiegogo co-founder Danae Ringelmann arrives with a smile, slightly late, sunglasses on head and water bottle in hand. She's a native Californian who left home for New York and took the first job offered, in finance. Now she's back in San Francisco running one of the world's leading crowdfunding platforms, which just raised $15 million of its own from Insight Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Steve Schoettler, Zynga's co-founder.
The first stirrings of what became Indiegogo came at a "Wall Street meets Hollywood" event in New York. "I went thinking I was going to meet a bunch of famous people," Ringelmann, 34, recalls. "I didn't meet any famous people at all. It was literally a sea of filmmakers and theatre producers hoping for their next angel. I was one of five people from a bank so I got of a swarm of interest."
The spectacle made a deep impression on Ringelmann, then just 23. "I got this script and this experienced filmmaker was basically begging me to finance his film. That's when it hit me that this business was screwed up."
She kept in touch with some of the theatre producers and directors she met that night, put on an Arthur Miller play, quit her day job and tried to develop an offline fund for theatre and creative projects offering some kind of return on investment.
Indiegogo – helping geeks who heart Tesla since 2008
After meeting future co-founders Slava Rubin, and Eric Schell, Rengelmann became convinced the solution had to be online and offer perks rather than equity to get around SEC regulations (now due for an overhaul as part of Obama's JOBS Act). The trio founded Indiegogo in 2008.
Indiegogo is a "platform for everything", available globally though up until this month only in English, and pushes millions of dollars towards enterprises, artistic projects and causes each week, with the platform taking a four per cent cut of all takings.
"There's one campaign that's pretty exciting," Ringelmann says, when pushed to pick a favourite. "It just went live this week, it's our biggest campaign to date – there's a geek tech blogger who is fascinated by Nikola Tesla and taking it upon himself to see that a museum is founded in Tesla's name. He's gone on Indiegogo to raise $850,000, I think it's up to $800,000 and it's only been five, six days."
Since that 2008 start, back when Facebook only ruled college dorms, crowdfunding platforms across the world have exploded – Kickstarter (US), KissKissBankBank (French) and Innovestment (German) are a few of the 450 or so alternatives now available.

Keeping ahead of Kickstarter et al – what's the plan?
To keep Indiegogo in the game globally, that $15 million Series A investment round will go towards hiring, with staff now up to 40 from just eight in December last year, marketing and rolling out country-specific versions of Indiegogo in different languages and currencies.
Germany is the first of those new "deep launch" markets, though the platform has in fact been used in the country for several years. "We built the platform to be global from the start," Ringelmann says. That's one difference from main US-based rival Kickstarter, recently used by tech startup Pebble to raise a shockingly high $10 million of crowd-sourced funding, and due to launch in the UK this autumn.
Kickstarter projects must also be approved by application, slowing down its growth but providing an extra barrier against spam or fraud.
Ringelmann is very confident in her team's anti-fraud measures, though, and making Indiegogo available to everyone – "democratising" funding – is at the heart of what she wants Indiegogo to be. "In the old days, you used to have to have a rich uncle, or a trust fund or be really savvy at the bank. Now, you just have to be yourself, get the word out, leverage social media – which is free, it just takes your time – and connect with people who want to see your idea in real life," she says.
Raising even $850,000 is nothing compared to the larger size funds that venture capital can provide and crowdfunding won't be replacing the troubled big tech IPO any time soon. But, for the young geeks and entrepreneurs at Campus Party Europe in Berlin this week, Indiegogo and peers will make it a whole lot easier to get good ideas started.

The container used for text dialog spoken or thought by a character, balloons emanate from the character by tails. Their arrangement contributes to the measurement of time - if the reader/viewer cooperates and reads them in order (left-to-right and top-to-bottom). Balloons' shapes convey the character of sound - normal, unspoken, electronic. Lettering reflects character and emotion as well as the artist's style.

Leisure travel intentions are rising, with millennials leading the way
Jun 26, 2014
Millennials will be the driving force behind the continued recovery of the U.S. travel industry, according to the results of the newly-released 2014 Portrait of American Travelers, an annual survey of the travel habits, preferences and intentions of Americans, authored by travel marketing services firm MMGY Global.
Millennials are also expected to spend incrementally more on travel services than any other age cohort during the next 12 months. Fully 24% of Millennial travelers (between the ages of 18-35 in 2014) are planning to take more overnight trips for leisure purposes in the year ahead, versus 14% who are planning fewer trips, yielding a net positive difference of 10% in travel intentions. This compares with a negative net difference of 1% for Boomers, and negative net differences of 3% and 6% for Matures and Xers, respectively. Millennials also plan to spend significantly more on leisure travel services in the year ahead than any of the other generational cohorts: an average of $887 on a previous-year base of $4,499. Xers intend to spend the second highest increment: $666 on a previous-year base of $4,341. Both trends are consistent with the manner in which Millennials view the sanctity of their vacation time, having taken an average of 4.6 overnight trips for leisure purposes last year, versus an average of 4.2 trips for all U.S. households with an annual income over $50,000. "Six in ten Millennials would rather spend their money on experiences than material things," said Steve Cohen, Vice President of Insights for MMGY Global. "This is presumably one of the reasons we've observed the spike in their intentions with respect to leisure travel in the year ahead. The implications for destination and travel-service marketers are quite profound, as Millennials' planning, booking and sharing habits are significantly different from those of older leisure travelers." Millennials' sense of wanderlust doesn't always extend to more distant destinations, as they are also more likely to have taken a "staycation" during the last 12 months than all other travelers. Fully 33 percent took at least one vacation within 50 miles of their home, versus 27 percent among all other leisure travelers. Their stated motivation? One third indicated their choice was fueled by the desire to save money to take a more substantial vacation during the year ahead. The MMGY Portrait of American Travelers provides an in-depth examination of the impact of the current economic environment, prevailing social values, and emerging media habits, on the travel behavior of Americans. The survey, now in its 24th year, reflects the lifestyles and travel behavior of approximately 57 million American households who spent an average of $4,429 on leisure travel in the last year. Collectively, they represent nearly $240 billion in U.S. travel spending.

Is it necessarily a bad thing when difficulties and tensions start to arise amongst occupyers who initially joined together in the same desire for positive change? With many activists and onlookers commenting that the movement is now in its second phase a lot depends on how these difficulties are approached.
Awareness: the key to Occupy's evolution?
Whilst taking part in recent discussions with Occupiers from London and around the globe I was struck by the emergence of a general theme of the occupations entering a stage of rising internal tensions. What is interesting in this is that occupiers and activists are becoming aware of how the structure of the camps and assemblies are starting to replicate the very system of domination they seek to replace. Whilst the assemblies are intended to be forums of equality where every voice is honoured and allowed to speak, nevertheless an unintentional hierarchy of privilege emerges in which class, sex, race and education still dominate the proceedings. The interesting point here is this happens in spite of everyone's best intentions. Those who are eloquent and confident speakers or organisers due to their privileges in life often end up running things in the camps and dominating GAs whilst those who are marginalised in society often have less confidence to express themselves or take up initiatives despite the general egalitarian intent.
I've heard activists talking about this situation with a depressed outlook as if we are hopelessly bound to recreating the same faults of the system. It can be an understandable perspective given the internal challenges faced by occupations everywhere. However there is another perspective: namely the simple fact that at least we are now becoming conscious. In other words Occupy is not only a space in which we can be creative, but it is also a space in which we become aware of how the system lives within us as individuals and groups, of how we replicate these relationships of dominators and dominated. We may all share the goal of a better world but when we unite to make that world a reality we can feel dismayed at how the whole process at times feels like it has descended into a confusing mess of conflicts.
Whilst this can be painful perhaps we are maturing into a necessary new phase. Perhaps internal conflicts that arise in the movement are not to be avoided but, rather the opposite, to be held in collective awareness through dialogue and group reflection. The difficulties which are held in society as unconsciously perpetuated mechanisms can therefore be transcended when they are seen and understood for what they are in the light of the collective processes used by Occupy.
The author and activist Michael Stone deals with some of these issues in this video. He expresses his view that "the next stage of the movement is going to be about how we deal with conflict. Internal conflict and the repression when the (status quo) gets uptight."
At the end of the video he concludes "Today Occupy is in 1980 cities. I've been to many 'Occupy's and every one is different. And they all have trouble. And they're all winning because they have trouble. They're working it out which is really hard work, but that's the work worth doing."
The movement begins with oneself
Whether you see the enemy as the 1% or the guy in a working group that you can't stand, if the Occupy movement is to succeed, it requires that we all take a long hard look at how we react faced with adversity and how we carry strengths and weaknesses within ourselves.
A number of the methods included in this previous article – Occupy as a new societal model and ways to improve it – are potent ways to increase awareness within individuals and groups. Other methods such as shadow work and deep democracy can reveal how the things we can't stand in society or in others are also carried within ourselves. Such revelations can be vitally important for the harmony of Occupy's assemblies, camps and actions.
The following video by Mark Walsh, a trainer in both business and activism, explains a number of techniques and means through which people involved in Occupy can remain resilient to the challenges that lie ahead. He highlights another source of stress and tension within the movement which is a lack of care and attention concerning our own personal wellbeing whilst engaging in activism: "The shadow of a lot of the social change movement is that the focus is external, on changing other people out there and as a result we forget about ourselves and burn out."

Celtic Sea Salt® Bath Salts are now Rare Body® Bath Salts. Please click to Shop Now:
Each of our salts comes from a unique place! Here is a list of our Celtic Sea Salt® salts and their source.
Light Grey Celtic, Fine Ground Celtic, Flower of the Ocean: FRANCE
Celtic Pink Sea Salt, Fossil River: SPAIN
Gourmet Kosher: GUATEMALA
Celtic Kosher Coarse and Fine: COLIMA MEXICO
Makai Pure: HAWAII USA
Rare Body Bath Coarse and Fine: VARIOUS
Here is a list of our salts and their respective harvesting methods:
Light Grey Celtic- Hand harvested using method invented by the Celts who settled this region of France. Seawater at high tide is trapped in estuaries until it evaporates to a brine, in which it is guided by the salt farmer through a series of clay-lined beds until by the end it is crystallizing. The farmer uses wooden rakes to pull the sunken crystals imparted with the grey color from the bed of the harvesting ponds. With little more done than natural draining, the yield is a moist, natural crystal salt with the brine, or "bitterns" still intact.
Fine Ground Celtic- This salt comes from the Light Grey Celtic, just low-temperature dried and crushed for convenience. Great for baking and as a transition salt (looks the closest to regular salt)
Gourmet Kosher- Hand harvested by salt farmers from lined beds where seawater is piped in and allowed to evaporate. As the crystals form they are kept in motion, yielding a beautiful, tiny, delicate crystal.
Makai Pure- Greenhouse harvested salt. The seawater is taken from deep ocean currents where there is higher salinity, which yields a high-mineral salt with beautiful natural chunks and flakes.
Kosher Celtic- Naturally harvested from salt ponds where the seawater is naturally filtered up through the ground. This is the most moist salt we have. Also for its price the highest minerals. Even the fine ground variety is very moist, full of the mineral-rich brine.
Flower of the Ocean- This is the "cream of the crop" of salts. By skimming the crystals off of the surface of the brine, only the most delicate crystals are caught before they sink to become the Light Grey Celtic salt. Flower of the Ocean is a culinary treasure, known as a "finishing salt" or an "expediting salt" to be pinched on food right before serving. No need for a grinder with this salt, as the crystals are easily crushed between the fingers.
Unrefined salts like ours have no more than trace amounts of Iodine, not enough to satisfy your daily recommended amount. Try our Gourmet Seaweed Seasoning for a great tasting seasoning that includes natural Iodine! Here are more of our Iodine options Celtic Sea Salt Iodine.
The best salts that we have are the ones with the natural crystals and beneficial brine. The salts we have with these attributes are as follows (in order of price low-high):

A tradition in Cycling
Bicycles are as much a part of the Netherlands as its tulips, windmills and wooden clogs. Children learn how to ride a bike before they can walk, and doing the shopping by bicycle is certainly no uncommon sight. It appears that even the Queen herself has been seen on her two-wheeled iron steed.
Holland's 17 million inhabitants are the proud owners of approximately 18 million bicycles. The country's infrastructure has been purposely adapted to accommodate the use of a bicycle as a major form of transportation. There exists a network of bicycle paths 20,000 kilometers long(!), incorporating bridges, tunnels and ferries.
It is no surprise to learn therefore, that one of the largest and most experienced organizers of cycling vacations was established in this cyclists' paradise.
Cycletours Holland
Cycletours originated in 1981, specializing in Bike & Barge Holidays since 1987, designed for the overseas tourist wanting to discover Holland & Europe. We were the first company to offer trips such as these, combining regular cycling tours with overnight stays on a ship, serving as hotel and luggage transport all-in-one! This has lead to an increasing interest in the Netherlands as a tourist destination from many American and Canadian guests. Since a few years we operate under the name of Cycletours Holidays.
Our 28 years worth of experience have taught us exactly what the cycling tourist requires: attractive bicycle routes, comfortable quarters with quality food and luggage transport, a sturdy bicycle of the right size, a clear itinerary, and for the groups, a competent guide to assist with technical problems. All the guest has to do is keep the pedals moving round and admire the view – Cycletours Holidays will do the rest. We have a staff of 7 employees in Amsterdam constantly working to ensure your satisfaction.
We're all set to go – care to get on your bicycle and join us.

3 Minute Read
We were all huddled around a bonfire in the backcountry of Montana. The night was eerily quiet, not because we were in reverence of our presence, but because it was so incredibly awkward. Ten of us guys from varying locations all around the country, gathered on a week-long retreat. We didn't know each other and had no idea what to expect.
"What do you do for a living?"
"How do you like living in California?"
"Does it always rain in Seattle?"
After breakfast, we would head out on a boat and pretend to know how to fly fish. Hours on a boat with two other guys does something to you. You find yourself dropping your guard and having vulnerable conversations.
By the time everyone got back to the lodge, it was as if these ten strangers were the closest of friends. Something had clicked between us all, engaging us into a deep intimacy as brothers.
Isn't that what we all want? Intimacy? To be known and loved for who we are?
Our souls crave this feeling of intimacy.
We ache for this feeling of letting our guard down and being able to be our true selves with God and with others.
What does the bible say about being intimately known?
"Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." James 4:8
"You will find me," God says, "when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
Intimacy is a heart issue. I love what John Eldridge says in his book Waking the Dead.
"The heart is the connecting point, the meeting place between any two persons…We don't want to be someone's project; we want to be the desire of their heart."
For us to be genuinely intimate with God and others, we must allow our heart to be seen. It's easy for us as hustlers to view relationships as a project. We are so used to being efficient in everything we do that it inevitably pours over into our relationships. We go on and on about how we master tasks or skills, how attendance has grown in our church, or how our email list has tripled in the last month, and gloss over the fact that we haven't been heart to heart with anyone in a very long time. Maybe we have even forgotten what it feels like to be heart-to-heart with God?
As Christians, our focus cannot be on efficiency but on intimacy.
If intimacy is a leadership strength, why don't more leaders practice it? Simple. Fear and ego. Being vulnerable requires us to let go of our pretenses and admit that we may get hurt, or worse…hurt others.
Here are three ways to start practicing intimacy in your relationships.
Today, may you understand that God intimately wants to be with you. That you are not God's project but a creation He adores. May you seek to be heart-to-heart with God and with others.
Why is it so hard for us to be intimate with others? Answer below.

The world is full of things that make us scratch our head and wonder, "What are they thinking?" We have just such a reaction about the Pedal Paddle. The event has participants ride bikes upriver, carrying rafts or other floatation devices on their backs, then float back down the Boise River, carrying their bikes, all culminating in a beer party in someone's back yard. We're not quite sure if we should admire their spirit and ingenuity or cringe at the high probability of death.

It is crucial to start the new school year strong. This includes setting a strong classroom management tone on the first day of class that will affect the progress of your students' learning and your instruction for the year. I am all for icebreakers and "getting to know you" activities, but I have learned from experience that it is critical to let your students and their parents know what the classroom expectations and rules are for your class from day one.
We are aware that local politics, helicopter parents, an unsupportive administrator and other factors can sometimes interfere with our classroom management plans. However, we can at least start the year strong by sharing policies and resources that will foster a positive learning environment for all learners in our classes.
Here are some documents I use with my classes during the first few days of class. I share these with the students, their parents, the TA's (Teacher Assistants), guidance counselors, and administrators.
These resources are all available for the taking. Just log onto the Community Website and click the Resources Tab. Then, search "resources" according to the title of the document. Not a member of the Educator Community? No worries! Just sign up by following this link.
If you are also interested in Ice Breakers, and I think you should, you can read my previous blog about this.
Feel free to use and edit these resources to suit your needs.
I will be back soon with tips for Open House!
