Flee to which mountains?
The antichrist spirit, and apostasy becoming dominant in the church, are described in Daniel's prophecies. The reign of Antiochus IV, the Seleucid king of Syria in the 2nd century BC, was typical of events of a spiritual nature, not a repetition of events of the same kind. Because of his policies, the temple at Jerusalem was made desolate, and dedicated to Zeus, which was typical of the desolation of the true temple, which is the church. Daniel referred to this desolation as the abomination of desolation. In Daniel 7 it is represented by the little horn that emerged among the ten horns of the fourth beast. In chapter 8, a king of fierce countenance who "understands dark sentences" destroys many of the holy people.
The apostle John, writing in the first century, said that many antichrists were already present. [1 John 2:18] He said that the spirit of antichrist was already present. [1 John 4:3] This implies there are several kinds of antichrist spirits.
In Zechariah 12:4, all the horses of the people involved in the siege of Jerusalem are smitten with astonishment. Their riders are smitten with madness. The horses are also smitten with blindness. In Psalm 32:9, the psalmist compares people who lack understanding to horses, so the horses in Zechariah's prophecy likely represent people who lack understanding. The people who assault the church are blind in a spiritual sense.
Typically, they are blind to the presence of the antichrist spirit, that dominates Christians during the present age. It is the primary reason for sects, and divisions. Many look for a one man Antichrist to appear in the future. This interpretation was popular for many centuries in Europe. It was promoted in Hugo Ripelin's Compendium Theologicae Veritatis, one of the most popular theological manuals of the Middle Ages. The idea of a one man Antichrist was promoted by Jesuit priest Francisco Ribera (1537-1591), and by Robert Belamine (1542-1621), who became Cardinal, and later by S. R. Maitland (1792–1866), and it was adopted by John N. Darby (1800-1882). In contrast, most of the Reformers identified the antichrist and the abomination of desolation with the papacy. In truth, the little horn's eyes like the eyes of a man identify it with a human point of view, as opposed to the divine.
In Matthew 24:15, Jesus says when the abomination of desolation is seen, flee to the mountains. He addressed this saying to "them that be in Judea." This is a cryptic reference to the saints, those who are Jews in the spiritual sense Paul alludes to in Romans 2:28-29. Jesus refers to the land of Judea symbolically, and figuratively, as mount Zion and Jerusalem were located there. Mount Zion was raised up, as foretold in Isaiah 2:2, when Jesus ascended to heaven, and to the throne of his Father. Hebrews 12:22 says: "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem." Since mount Zion was in Judea, those who come to mount Zion, and to the heavenly Jerusalem, are "them that be in Judea" in a spiritual sense.
When Jesus said "flee to the mountains," in Matthew 24:15, he did not mean for self-preservation, as he also said that every one who seeks to save his life will lose it. [Matthew 16:25] Also, Zechariah said all the country surrounding Jerusalem will become a plain: "All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place." [Zechariah 14:10]
In Zechariah's prophecy, Jerusalem was to be raised up, while the surrounding area became a plain, which complements the events described in Isaiah 2:1-3, where Jerusalem and the mountain of the Lord's house are exalted to the top of the mountains, above the hills. Both prophecies refer to spiritual events, rather than literal changes in the topography of Palestine.
According to Zechariah's prophecy, the only elevated area remaining in Judea is Jerusalem, and mount Zion, which is raised up in a spiritual sense, to heaven; clearly then, when Jesus said that "them that be in Judea" must "flee to the mountains," he meant that we should seek the kingdom of God, and his promises. Mountains are symbolic of God's righteousness, such as the teachings in the sermon on the mount. These teachings of Jesus are among the things we should flee to.
Jesus encourages people to seek entry to Jerusalem, the holy city, and to the kingdom of God. The mountains represent God's promises, which Peter called "exceeding great and precious." [2 Peter 1:4]
Jerusalem and mount Zion represent the mountain of the Lord's house, that is raised up to heaven; entry to it is only through Jesus, who is "the door of the sheep." [John 10:7]
Mountains of prophecy also represent promises; the blessings of Jacob were compared to mountains. He said, "The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills." [Genesis 49:26] They were high, like high mountains, because they were spiritual in nature. They were also eternal.
Jesus compared gaining entry to the kingdom of God to finding a pearl of great price; this may be what is meant by the "white stone" in Revelation 2:17.
Ascending the mountains means climbing out of valleys, which represent judgments; the valley of Gehenna; the valley of Jehoshaphat; etc.
When Jesus said, "Woe to them that are with child, and them that give suck" he probably did not mean women, but teachers and pastors. Woe is especially on the ones who preach a powerless, inferior version of the gospel.
He also warned, don't go back for your clothes, meaning, do not bring up arguments against the message of the gospel, and objections to the message of Christ. Discovering the truth is like putting on new clothing.
Jesus said, "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." [Matthew 24:20-22] To have to flee in winter means one has missed out on the harvest; fleeing in winter involves much more trouble and painful unlearning of wrong beliefs; that is, great tribulation. To flee on the sabbath means one has missed out on the "rest" promised to the saints, and has been "left behind." Jesus described the present age as the "summer," and the preferred time for spiritual growth and for bringing forth fruit for the kingdom of God. [Matthew 24:32]

On Saturday and Sunday the Faughan Valley GC hosted a Stableford competition which was generously sponsored by Mr Kieran O'Doherty from Premier Travel in Carlisle Road.
In first place was John McCourt (19) who scored 41 points. Second place went to the in-form Glenn Hinds (9) with 40 points and in third spot was Syl Marshall (21) with 39 points.
The front nine prize went to 10 handicapper Lee Totton who scored 20 points while the back nine was won by Martin Mailey (17) with a tremendous score of 23 points.
There were four winners of the club's sweep - Glenn Hinds, Glenn Curran, Darren Redden and Lee O'Connor.
Warmest congratulations to Damian Boyle who defeated Kevin Hunter 3 and 2 in the final of the Faughan Valley Club 'Singles' competition which has been very kindly sponsored throughout by Babington & Croasdaile Solicitors.
This Saturday, Ladies Captain Celine McIvor, will host the annual Lady Captain's Charity Day for which the chosen charity this year is the NSPCC.
All members are asked to support this very deserving cause and are advised that a time-sheet will be in operation.
On Sunday the final of the North-West Inter-club League between Faughan Valley and Ballyliffin GC will be held at Foyle Golf Club with a tee-off time of 2pm.
Council and members would like to wish Mr Robert Curry and his team all the very best.
Ballyliffin are the holders of the title and Team Captain Seamus Mallon will certainly not want to relinquish the coveted title, but Robert Curry has a very capable team at his disposal and having won their section with something to spare wont be fazed by the opposition.
Section One was claimed by Faughan Valley after they finished on 26.5 points, Roe Park with 23 points were second, Buncrana with 20 points was third and Greencastle with 14.5 points was fourth.
Section Two went to Ballyliffin after finishing on 24.5 points, Redcastle were second after they scored 23 points, Foyle was third after finishing with 20 points and North West were fourth when they scored 16.5 points.
Also on Sunday, Faughan Valley will be holding an Open Stableford competition.
Meanwhile first and last players won the Sunday stableford competition at City of Derry. Vincent Devenny (7) was first out in the morning and carded 40 points to set the standard for the day.
It wasn't until the very last player, that his 40 points was matched by Anthony Faulkner (18). Vincent managed to beat Anthony on break of tie with his 20 points back nine.
Third place went to Adrian Leckey (8) with 39 points and the gross was awarded to Aaron Taylor (1) with a gross score of 33 points.

Since Pennsylvania has gotten into the casino gambling business the state has seen tax revenues grow every year. But according to a recent report on the gaming industry, that revenue declined last year for the first time, and it is a trend that is expected to continue.
The success of Pennsylvania's gambling industry got off to a great start. Being able to bring in people from other states where gambling was illegal helped. But, now that surrounding states have legalized gambling, the market is becoming competitive. That is why Pennsylvania lawmakers are looking for ways to keep up.
Members of the Senate Community Economic and Recreational Development Committee held a hearing to look at what they can do to help Pennsylvania's flat-lining casino industry; a trend that has been seen nationally for the last three years.
Some say the thrill of new casinos would help, while casino operators think the market is already too saturated, and believe that is part of the problem.
"Please consider that 12 casinos is enough," testified Wendy Hamilton with SugarHouse Casino. "Pennsylvania's revenue continues to decline and the Mid-Atlantic region is over-saturated. If this committee wants to fight off out-of-state competition and have Pennsylvania remain a nationwide example of how to do gaming right, then the premeditated weakening of the current operators is not the right strategy."
Representatives from the Gaming Control Board, local casinos and other organizations testified about a wide range of things they believe could either help or harm the future of the industry. Ideas like legalizing sports betting, tax credits for casinos, and even changing amenities, like giving people more options to use their cash, were discussed.
"We encourage you to look for ways to increase further marketing and capital investments through things like tax credits, to which other industries have access, and remove barriers for customers to access their money," testified John Finamore, Senior Vice President of Regional Operations with Penn National Gaming, Inc.
Other ideas being considered include smoking/nonsmoking casinos. "As operators, I would tell you that a non-smoking casino is a bad casino." said Sean Sullivan, Vice President and General Manger of The Meadows Racetrack & Casino.
Sullivan also advocated for casinos to be able to allow people to drink after 2 a.m.
"We're responsible for it. If we lose control of it, we will pay the fines and deal with the repercussions, but we think alcohol later in the evening is an incremental revenue generating discussion," said Sullivan.
Online Gambling
Another option heavily discussed is online gaming. One game on the table is online Poker. "You're not surrounded by strangers, you don't have to face anybody at the table, and it allows you to learn rules of the game. They also allow for very low stakes tables and very low stakes games. It's an easier way to learn the basics," one person testified.
"We're supportive in concept of Pennsylvania authorizing internet poker, provided it's done in such a way that the existing brick and mortar establishments are the sole licensing or licensed agents," said Finamore.
"If you consider internet gaming I would urge you to use caution in developing revenue estimates and look to the experiences of New Jersey thus far," said Bill Ryan with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. "I can assure you that the board will work diligently on this, but we will not sacrifice the protection of the public and the casinos for speed. Therefore we would request an effective date of one year to implement internet gaming."
The hearing referenced a study of the current decline of casino gaming in Pennsylvania, as well as the future gaming environment conducted by: Econsult Solutions, Inc.
Summary of the study: [from Econsult Solutions, Inc.]
The Pennsylvania gaming industry generated a total of $3.1 billion in total revenue and nearly $1.4 billion in state and local taxes in 2013. Revenues grew steadily as a significant new supply of slot machines entered the market each year from 2006 and 2010, in addition to the implementation of table gaming starting in July 2010. Total gaming tax revenues have stabilized, falling slightly in 2013. The decline is a result of four broad trends:
1) Table Game Tax Rates – Table game effective tax rates have declined because casinos pay a higher rate in the first 24 months of table games. The majority of Pennsylvania casinos hit the 24 month cut-off midway through 2012, meaning that 2013 was the first year to fully incorporate the lower rates for most properties.
2) National Trends – Macro-gaming patterns regarding slot (decline) and table (growth) activities respectively may have contributed to the tax revenue decline.
3) Cannibalization — The flight of previous revenue to nearby states (Ohio and Maryland) with new gaming venues may also be a contributing factor to the revenue decline.
4) Casino Openings – As casinos open in Ohio and Maryland, gamers deviate from their normal casino to investigate the new casino. Many of these gamers will return to their original casino, but the momentary shift will offset revenue.
Gaming tax revenues grew each year from 2007 to 2012, exceeding $1.4 billion annually before falling slightly in 2013. Approximately 92% of tax revenue generated by Pennsylvania casinos in 2013 came from slot earnings.

NASA grant awarded to Boeing-led team for wind tunnel experiments
Two researchers from the Aerospace Engineering Division are part of a team led by The Boeing Co. that has been awarded $1.2 million from NASA.
Dr. Rodney Bowersox and Dr. Edward White, who are also faculty members in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, will receive $590,000 to use the Oran W. Nicks Low-Speed Wind Tunnel for experiments on how active flow control can mitigate dynamic stall on helicopter blades. The experiments will focus on blades operating in the transonic regime. The flow control actuators will be designed by Advanced Fluidics LLC and integrated by Texas A&M and Boeing.
The project will include substantial improvements to the low-speed wind tunnel to increase its maximum speed to Mach 0.5 (385 mph). The tunnel typically operates up to Mach 0.25 and its current speed record is Mach 0.33. Higher speeds are necessary to explore why helicopter rotors fatigue quickly in high-speed forward flight and how active flow control might prevent this.
Measurements will include dynamic pressure readings for unsteady lift and pitch moment and high-resolution particle image velocimetry for off-body flow visualization. Achieving the higher speed will make use of the newly installed 3,000 horsepower wind-tunnel motor and will require other mechanical and electrical upgrades in the next 18 months.

The APRP credential applies to risk management expertise in all payments networks, including ACH, check, wire, debit, credit and prepaid cards, and emerging and alternative payments. The exam window is March 5-17, 2018. Registration is currently open.
"The payments world is ever-changing, and so is what it takes to succeed. Today, being able to effectively manage payments risk is crucial for organizations that provide payment services, as well as businesses and other end users that use those services," said Jane Larimer, chief operating officer at Nacha. "Holders of the APRP credential will become the 'go-to' experts in the critical and nuanced area of risk management across all payments types."
Building on the success of the Accredited ACH Professional (AAP) program – of which nearly 4,500 professionals currently hold the credential – Nacha has worked in conjunction with the Regional Payments Associations in a cross-industry effort to develop the APRP program and ready it for launch.
To be awarded the APRP credential, individuals must pass a comprehensive exam administered by Nacha. The exam tests an individual's knowledge of subjects including the fundamentals of payments risk management, payments systems, payments risk policy and governance, payments risk management systems and controls, physical and information security, and the regulatory environment.
For more information about the APRP program and to register for the exam, please visit nacha.org/aprp. The number of professionals who can sit for the APRP exam during the March 2018 window is capped at 250. Registrants beyond that number will be added to a waitlist.

Cloudy day, it's a cloudy day
The sky is dark and the sun's gone away
Cloudy day, it's a cloudy day
The only color that we see is gray.
When the clouds finally pass us by
The sun will come back to light the sky
But for now we'll have to sit and wait
For the clouds to part just like a gate
Cloudy day, it's a cloudy day
The sky is dark and the sun's gone away
Cloudy day, it's a cloudy day
The only color that we see is gray.

"We're celebrating not only the past ten years and the amazing achievements that we have accomplished, but the next ten years and all that lies ahead. We hope everyone comes out and is inspired by all the new and wonderful things at Georgia Aquarium this year."
Guests can expect to see California sea lions in an intimate setting in SunTrust Pier 225, while learning more about these social marine mammals as their trainers interact with them. This new exhibit will educate guests on the dangers they face in the wild and key environmental factors that impact them. Georgia Aquarium currently has four sea lions that were rescued from last year's Unusual Mortality Event (UME), where record numbers of sea lion pups are stranding on California beaches in search of food. Guests can expect to see these young sea lions and adult sea lions during Under the Boardwalk.
The AT&T Dolphin Celebration presentation is a high energy, fun, and exciting experience that celebrates the beauty, grace, athleticism, and intelligence of bottlenose dolphins. While showing the relationships they create with their trainers, guests will learn more about bottlenose dolphins through a variety of new behaviors. This presentation replaces the original AT&T Dolphin Tales show that premiered in 2011.
In addition to these new presentations opening on Thursday, several new touch pools, a completely renovated 4D Funbelievable Theater, and upgrades to Aquanaut Adventure will launch today.
Sea Lions: Under the Boardwalk premieres with its first presentation at 11 a.m. and additional times at 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. today. AT&T Dolphin Celebration premieres with its first presentation at 11:30 a.m. and additional times at 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. Times vary by day.

A brief look back:
1775… not much remains from that age – tanigible anyway. But many important event & organizations such as the start of the American Revolution, which gives rise to what comes to be known as the US Army, remain.
The British are coming!
According to history.com the American Revolution began on April 19 1775. Although there's a bit of dispute as to whether or not Paul Revere rode through the countryside on the evening of April 18, 1775 shouting that famed phrase, Revere was a part of the Sons of Liberty which, through the Second Continental Congress founded the Army in June of 1775. 240 years ago this week!
The US Army is the oldest service of the United States military. It's original goal was to protect the freedom of the first 13 colonies, but as Major General Scott Miller states, the Army has "evolved to meet the demands of many different conflicts across different eras."
Army Strong!!
I am an American Soldier. I am a warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.
I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.
Admirable statements from an all volunteer force. MasterCare Patient Equipment is proud to be one of many Veteran owned small business across this great country.

DC High Court: Foreclosure Trustee 'Could' Be Liable For Damages For Failure To Call Off Sale When Homeowner Has Prospective Buyer For Property
From a Client Alert from the law firm Seyfarth Shaw:
- On May 24, 2012, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals reviewing the Onyeoziri v. Spivok case determined that trustees under a deed of trust may be liable for interference with business relations if the trustees prevent the debtor from curing the default in a foreclosure proceeding.
In this case, days before the scheduled foreclosure under a deed of trust, the debtor presented a copy of a contract of sale of the secured property to the trustees together with a letter prequalifying the buyer for a loan in an amount sufficient to pay off the secured indebtedness.
The Court of Appeals determined that the evidence, taken in the light most favorable to the debtor, supported a finding that by following through with the foreclosure sale after the trustees were made aware of the debtor's contract to sell the property, the trustees intentionally interfered with the contract for sale in a manner that, a jury could find, was unnecessary to protect the security interest.
Specifically it was the trustees' "unreasonable refusal" to permit the debtor to go forward with his contract for the sale of the property, and the trustees' insistence on proceeding with the foreclosure sale that "interfered with [debtor's] business relations with the prospective purchaser."
Although the Court acknowledged the right of a secured party to protect its interest in its collateral, it decided that the trustees clearly knew that they were impeding the debtor's ability to perform the contract to sell the property, which would have covered the indebtedness and negated the necessity of the foreclosure sale.
For the ruling, see Onyeoziri v. Spivok, 44 A. 3d 279 (D.C. May 24, 2012).

GAO REPORT RELEASE: Climate Engineering; Technical status, future directions, and potential responses
WASHINGTON – Reports of rising global temperatures have raised questions about responses to climate change, including efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, adapt to climate change, and design and develop climate engineering technologies for deliberate, large-scale interventions in Earth's climate. In response to a congressional request for a technology assessment on climate engineering, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a new report in August. An interdisciplinary team prepared the report, employing a multi-method approach based on GAO's quality assurance framework and best practices in technology assessment. The report examined the current state of climate engineering science and technology, experts' views of the future of U.S. climate engineering research, and potential public responses to climate engineering. The report also discusses key considerations for the use of climate engineering technologies and their policy implications.
Join us on Wednesday, October 12th, at 12:30 p.m. for a discussion of the new U.S. Government Accountability Office report that assesses climate engineering technologies, focusing on their technical status, future directions for research and potential responses.

We're sorry, but we couldn't find any events
About Pip Blom
In 2017, Pip Blom released three tracks written as a full band: the jangling fuzz of 'School', Courtney Barnett-esque 'Babies Are A Lie' and 'I Think I'm In Love' – a ramshackle spiral of needling guitar lines and rattling hooks, set for re-release on XXX. Earning the band fans in Huw Stephens and Mark Riley (who asked them in to record two 6Music sessions during the year), alongside mentions in NME, DIY, The Line of Best Fit and more, it showed that Pip's inklings towards what the music could turn into were correct.
A Dutch tour with Amsterdam peers Canshaker Pi, meanwhile, gave the trio a necessary kick into gear on stage. "At first when we started we were terrified and we hardly moved on stage. But touring with Canshaker Pi helped us so much," enthuses Pip. "They were so energetic, it was insane. We wanted to be like them. In the end, I think that's had a lot of influence on the songs that I write at the moment too. I want our songs to be vibrant and energetic. I want them to reflect what we are trying to be live."
Now, heading into 2018, Pip Blom are ready to put all these formative steps into action. Already confirmed for a string of dates supporting Franz Ferdinand in Holland, and with a Radio 1 session with Huw coming imminently, the building blocks are already combining to form something with real crossover potential. "I just like the thrill of doing something new," shrugs Pip. "We've still got a long way to go, but hey: you should always dream big."

A small group of students from Liskeard Sixth Form recently attended an Oxford and Cambridge Information Day, which took place at the Eden Project.
Two Admission Officers representing each university gave a very clear and precise presentation. This focused on the admissions process and what qualities Oxford and Cambridge are looking for.
After a short break (and great cookies!) the presentation concluded with details of how to write a personal statement and what an interview at Oxford or Cambridge would be like.
Joining the admissions staff were four students, currently studying at either university, who all came from the Cornwall area. That was a great opportunity to hear their experience of the process and what life is like as an undergraduate.
Students had the opportunity to ask questions at the end and then they spent the last hour exploring the amazing sights at the Eden Project.

Cilantro Rice and Succotash
Succotash is one of those dishes that I think of when I see zucchini and corn. Well it just so happens that summer is just around the corner so both corn and zucchini are making appearances at the farmers' markets. As I was pondering on what to cook tonight the first think that came to mind was the zucchini that I picked up from the market. I did not grab any corn while I was there but I did have some in the freezer (tisk tisk, I know).
My favorite zucchini dish is my grandmother's southern smothered zucchini but I did not have a few ingredients, so I settled on the succotash. Actually, my grandmother never cared about having all of the ingredients for a recipe and would cook with what she had on hand. She is awesome like that! Aside from my terrific husband, she is who inspires me in the kitchen.
I did not know what to pair with the succotash and the cilantro rice came to mind since I had a bunch of cilantro in the fridge waiting to be used up. I'd never made cilantro rice but have wanted to for several years. And there goes, dinner was planned and about 40 minutes later, served!
How do you usually plan your meals? Any tips and ideas you can share?
Cilantro Rice
1 cup brown rice
1 3/4 cup water
2 cups loosely packed cilantro
green tops from 2 baby leeks
1 teaspoon oil
lime juice
Start the water to boil in a small pot. Rinse the rice and add to the water. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 30-35 minutes and turn off heat. Let sit for 5 minutes.
While the rice is cooking chop the vegetables for the succotash and prepare the cilantro and leeks.
Dice the cilantro and leeks very fine (use food processor, blender, or knife).
Once the rice is cooked, toss with fork and add the oil and cilantro leek mixture. Add lime and salt (if you absolutely need it) to taste. Stir to incorporate and serve.
1 onion, diced
2 cups zucchini (1 large), chopped
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup fresh fava beans
3 baby leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced thin
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (recommend using fresh garlic)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Heat oil in large skillet and saute the onions until soft. If using fresh garlic, add the garlic after the onions begin to soften before adding the zucchini and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Add the zucchini and corn and cook for 7 minutes letting them brown slightly. Turn off the heat and add the fava beans, leeks, and seasonings. Toss to let the favas cook slightly. Add the tomatoes and toss again. Serve and Enjoy!

If you use the daily planners you can place your requirements in the respective time slots. This can include regular appointments, church, work, and other items which cannot be moved. Then you can take things which can be moved if necessary such as gym time and place them in the free space. This should leave you with free time left to studying or social engagements. If you know you have a big test coming up, you might schedule more blocks of free time for studying the week before.
Traditional planners will also include a portion for notes or additional comments in each of the weekly spaces wherein you can keep track of assignments based on how important they are. You can also cross off items once they are complete and move on to the next.
At the beginning of each semester or quarter it is imperative that you take your collective syllabi and write down ALL due dates on a single calendar. You should put in class time, lab time, times you must be online, test dates, and due dates for any assignments or essays. Teachers often list their course syllabus on a weekly schedule but you should still write out due dates or test dates for ALL courses.
Once you have done this, you are able to write in time for studying so that you can monitor regular progress in terms of reading or studying alongside with the course content. If you are not on a schedule with a course but just taking the reading material on your own and taking a test once you are done, then it is especially important that you create a personal syllabus which lists the chapters you will cover each week and the assignments and practice tests you will take after.
Once you become accustomed to your schedule, you will not have to rely on your planner as much, but it will remain an important organizational tool.
Doing this will alleviate any surprises or the need to cram before an exam. You will be able to see the due dates well in advance and be able to look at the upcoming week to see what is due. If you have some free time, you can apply it aptly to an upcoming project so that you relieve a bit of stress in the next week. Overall this will also reduce any stress associated with surprise due dates or that feeling of not having enough time.
We pointed out the best solvers for the most common problems with essay drafting, composing and editing.
Nowadays all you need is available on the web. But you should always check source for its credibility.

The new series of Doncaster filmed sitcom Still Open All Hours will begin this weekend.
The first episode of the new series will air on BBC One at 8.30pm following the opening episode of the new series of Doctor Who.
And with the comedy starring Sir David Jason filmed in Balby following hot on the heels of Jodie Whittaker's debut as the new Time Lord in the sci-fi favourite – which was shot in Sheffield – it is set to be a distinctly South Yorkshire flavoured evening of television.
READ MORE: David Jason spotted filming with huge yellow balloon on Still Open All Hours set in Doncaster
Outdoor scenes for the new series of the cornershop classic were filmed in Balby earlier this year at the converted Beautique hairdressing salon on the corner of Lister Avenue and Scarth Avenue which was once again transformed into Arkwright's cluttered emporium.
The fifth series will see Sir David reprising his role as Granville in the show which is a sequel to the sitcom Open All Hours which aired from 1973 to 1985.
He said: "I'm thrilled to be bringing Granville and Arkwright's shop back to viewers' TV screens along with his regular customers who bring their own sense of barminess to the world of grocery."
READ MORE: Man arrested after cannabis farm found in Doncaster's Open All Hours street
The synopsis for episode one reads: "Granville has a large quantity of bargain spectacles to sell, but will they really do anything to improve his customers' eyesight?
"Meanwhile, encouraged by reading a self-help book, Mr Newbold (Geoffrey Whitehead) decides to tell Mrs Featherstone (Stephanie Cole) how he really feels about their relationship.
READ MORE: Sir David Jason threatened with knife during Open All Hours filming in Doncaster
"Elsewhere, Eric (Johnny Vegas) tries to persuade Kath (Sally Lindsay) to go on a camping holiday, and a large, heavy box has arrived for Leroy."
Episodes will air every Sunday on BBC One at 8.30pm.
Gregor Sharp, BBC Commissioning Editor said: "We're delighted to see Granville flip over the sign on Arkwright's and open up for another series of Still Open All Hours - its enduring popularity is a testament to the brilliance of Roy Clarke's scripts and the impeccable performances of a cast of comic legends at the height of their powers."

In case you haven't seen, Adam Lambert kissed a boy on TV last night at the American Music Awards.
Wasn't his performance dangerous and edgy?
Haha, just kidding. It's a definite improvement over the last time I saw a TV clip of him, when he found out he lost to Kris Allen and he hugged him and then nodded along like a cow to Kris's victory song. Humility, grace, and respect for a clean and Nice Guy singer that he knew he was better than. I'm sure Morrissey would have done the same if he were in Lambert's position, except he would have had flowers ready to hand over because he would have been prepared to lose graciously.

They are rich. They are unattached. They are looking for a little excitement.
Meet the Draft Christie committee, a small but influential group of Republican-leaning donors and activists, many based in New York, united by a shared desire to see Gov.Chris Christie of New Jersey run for president.
There is Kenneth G. Langone, the billionaire Home Depot founder who is perhaps Mr. Christie's most fervent booster; Paul E. Singer, the publicity-shy hedge fund magnate and Republican activist who is among the most-sought-after Republican donors in the country; and David H. Koch, the industrialist, Tea Party benefactor and, according to Forbes, the richest man in New York.
Charles R. Schwab, the personal investment guru, is also among those who have shown interest in seeing a Christie presidential bid, according to published reports and people familiar with the discussions, as is the financier Stanley F. Druckenmiller. So are the hedge fund managers David Tepper and Daniel S. Loeb, a onetime supporter of President Obama.
In recent months, Christie enthusiasts have lighted up the phone lines between Manhattan and Trenton trying to persuade the governor to enter the Republican field amid growing concern about the current contenders.
Several dozen potential Christie backers attended a meeting in July convened by Mr. Langone to introduce the governor to top-shelf Republican donors, many of them on the sidelines so far in the 2012 campaign. Others saw him in action in June, when Mr. Christie quietly flew to Colorado to speak at a private retreat hosted by Mr. Koch and his brother, Charles, another prominent Republican donor.
And while Mr. Christie has so far resisted their entreaties, he is facing a renewed effort in recent days following stumbles by Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, whose debate performances and stances on Social Security, immigration and other issues have left many major donors looking again for someone they think can take on Mr. Obama next year.
"Christie understands what it is like to be a Republican in the Northeast," said Lynn Krogh, a Republican campaign consultant in New York, adding: "He's practical. He's not just a barnburner."
Buzz about Mr. Christie's presidential prospects intensified in recent days after a previously unknown group, the Committee for Our Children's Future, unveiled a $1.5 million television advertising campaign in New Jersey promoting Mr. Christie's accomplishments.
"Runaway spending. Record debt. Gridlocked government. Washington is backwards," the script reads. "But Chris Christie, with bipartisan support, is taking New Jersey in another direction."

The purpose of this study was to explore the funding patterns and sources of adult basic education (ABE) provided by community based organizations (CBOs) and to determine their success in attracting funding from external sources such as corporations, foundations, charitable and philanthropic organizations. This study sought to develop an understanding of the involvement of community based organizations in delivering adult basic education services, their funding sources and patterns by identifying who the funders were, and why they made financial contributions to CBOs. This study was exploratory and descriptive in nature, designed to deal with the lack of methodical inquiry regarding the funding pattern and sources of CBOs who deliver ABE. It was designed to bridge the gap iii between the assumed notions of the importance of CBOs and their actual levels of funding from a variety of sources.

Emerging Scholar Spotlight: Mollie McQuillan
Mollie McQuillan is a Doctoral Candidate in Human Development and Social Policy at Northwestern University. She is a National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellow for 2017-2018, given to scholars with unusual promise doing educational research, and was awarded a Presidential Fellowship, the most prestigious university-wide fellowship for Northwestern Ph.D. students who can communicate to both a disciplinary body and across disciplines. McQuillan's research focuses on the development of gender-expansive adolescents, young people who do not fit societal ideals of masculinity and femininity, such as those with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer identities. It incorporates an interdisciplinary and mixed-methods approach to identifying health and educational disparities within this population, as well as a commitment to identifying possible policy and procedural interventions or supports within educational institutions.
McQuillan took a bit of an unconventional path to researching gender-expansive adolescents. She double majored in Political Science and Psychology at the University of Chicago in the early 2000s. Afterwards she worked in an immigration law firm for a couple of years post-graduation, and obtained her teaching licensure and a Masters in Teaching. As an AP Psychology Teacher, she was able to share her love of psychology with adolescents. Teaching the development unit was especially rewarding, as it felt like a privilege to guide students' new sense of awareness and understanding of their own development and life experiences.
Throughout her 10 years of working with adolescents as a high school teacher and athletic coach in Minnesota, her interest in the relationships between gender, discrimination, physical health, and policies grew, and intensified with her academic training in the Human Development and Social Policy PhD Program. At Northwestern, McQuillan initially focused on how social stressors relate to physical and health disparities in marginalized populations. However, as she took more policy-relevant classes, she realized the many ways her professional and personal experiences could contribute to the existing research related to gender-expansive youth. Now, her research explores the intersection of adolescence development, educational policies, and health of gender-expansive youth. This research agenda is embedded in her three independent, but related, primary data collection dissertation studies. Her first study uses a clinical sample of transgender youth to investigate how distress from gender identity may relate to physical health through inflammation and immune deregulation pathways, and whether other social stressors or supports change this relationship. The second study is a document analysis describing the district policy landscape for gender-expansive students and employees in a representative sample of Illinois school districts, and how some districts have begun to implement these policies. These policies and procedures can be important sources of stress or support for gender-expansive youth. The third study, an interview study with district policymakers, delves into the processes involved in creating and changing policies, administrative guidance, and specific school practices disproportionately influencing transgender students. In addition to her dissertation projects, she has used secondary data to examine educational disparities by sexual orientation, conducted an evaluation of a gender-inclusivity training program for educators, and, using a difference-in-difference quasi-experimental approach, analyzed the impact of adding gender identity as a protected class of citizens to a state discrimination and hate crime legislation on health conditions and behaviors in transgender populations.
One of the project's McQuillan is most excited about is a course she developed at Northwestern called, "Gender Identity Development, Minority Stress, and Policies: An Interdisciplinary Perspective." Through this course, she teaches Northwestern undergraduates to discuss the diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches researchers are using to explore the development of gender-diverse youth and related policies.
Through the lenses of a public school teacher, student, parent, athletic coach, district leader, and researcher, McQuillan has seen the influence that protective policies and affirming practices can have in schools, and the developmental costs of not providing such supports.

Little Rock Lake experiences severe algae blooms due to excess phosphorus and these blooms are the worst known regionally. The goal of this project is to reduce algae blooms, improve water clarity, and avoid risk of drinking water contamination. The project will result in installing one farmer nutrient management project , four cover crops, two lakeshore buffer strips, six septic systems that also demonstrated an imminent threat to public health, six erosion control projects , one wetland restored, and one feedlot runoff control system.
This project builds on the momentum and success of previous Clean Water Fund grants in making significant non-point source pollution reductions that address state-identified turbidity, excess nutrient and dissolved oxygen impairments of the Lower Minnesota River and points downstream. These water quality improvements will be achieved by constructing high-value, cost-effective conservation best management practices in Scott County directly tributary to the Minnesota River.
This proposal accelerates the permanent protection of 235 acres of wetlands and 765 acres of grasslands for a total of 1,000 acres as Waterfowl Production Areas open to public hunting in Minnesota.
This proposal will accomplish shallow lake and wetland habitat work that will otherwise go unfunded. This work is called for in the Minnesota Prairie Conservation Plan, Long Range Duck Recovery Plan, and Shallow Lakes plan.
This proposal accelerates the permanent protection of 760 acres of wetlands (175 acres) and grasslands (585 acres) as Waterfowl Production Areas open to public hunting in Minnesota.
CMSM will build upon the work that began with its 2015-16 appropriation by (1) Remediation and further development of exhibit areas that promote Arts & Cultural Heritage (ACH) learning (2) Expanding ACH learning opportunities for new audiences at off-site locations; (3) Engaging an outside Evaluation Consultant to help plan/implement strategies that meaningfully assess ACH learning outcomes and impacts; (4) Boosting the Museum's capacity to serve more school/early learning groups.
To purchase a microfilm reader/printer to make microfilmed records more accessible to the public.
The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
The Anoka Sandplain Partnership proposal will restore/enhance 245 acres and 1.20 mi shoreline; and protect 80 acres of wildlife habitat on priority public lands principally within the Anoka Sandplain Ecological Region within the Metropolitan Urbanizing and Forest-Prairie Transition sections.
The Anoka Sandplain Partnership (Phase 4) proposal will restore and enhance 917 acres of wildlife habitat on priority public lands principally within the Anoka Sandplain Ecological Region within the Metropolitan Urbanizing and Forest-Prairie Transition sections.

It might surprise you to discover that human hair can be found in 10 different varieties. There are 4 main hair types and each one of those can have up to 3 subtypes. All that variety can lead to confusion when it comes to buying the proper hair styling products.The first hair type is straight hair which is not easy to style or shape. The reason is the cuticles that form the hair itself are lined up in such a way as to keep the hair straight and stiff. That extra protection is what gives straight hair resistance to styling. If straight hair does get damaged, from being over styled for example, it normally is dry and easily broken.There are 3 kinds of straight hair; course, medium and fine. Course hair is the thickest and most resistant to being styled. Next is medium straight hair which has lots of body and texture but less so than course hair. Fine hair is the 3rd subtype. It tends to be very soft and shiny although it also can be quite thin.

So, people, I did it. I read my second self-published novel. It was Mary Campisi's A Family Affair, chosen, as I explained last week, because it was riding high on Amazon.co.uk's ebook chart. It had tons of positive reviews, as well – an average rating of four stars, from 105 people, 43 of whom gave it five out of five.
That means it's got to be good, right? Well, not really. I don't want to rip this novel apart, because I respect the author for putting it out there; it can't be an easy thing to go it alone. And, as I said last week about Kerry Wilkinson's Locked In, it's really no worse than tons of the family drama-type books that get churned out by traditional publishers. But it has lots of big holes, and I wouldn't have gone on reading if I wasn't conducting my self-published reading experiment.
First up, the commas. She employs the scattergun approach. Second, characters say things like, "'May you rot in hell, Harry Blacksworth.' … 'You can count on it. You can goddam count on it.'" And "'This isn't a boardroom, it's real life.'" And "'by god, if you value our friendship, it better be the truth.'" The heroine, whose father's death reveals he's been spending four days a month for years with another woman, Miriam, with whom he has a child, takes about three seconds to decide she likes this homely new small-town lady more than her own, high society mother. The hero – son of Miriam – is clearly meant to be attractive; after all, he moves "with the graceful fluidity of a jaguar coupled with the overpowering strength of a mountain lion". But then he thinks things like "he could shack up with Natalie Servetti for the next few days; big tits but she talked too much. Damn, he didn't want to screw Natalie."
In fact, all the men are pretty dire. And Christine, our heroine, is horribly patronising at the novel's end, when she decides to move to the small town and "teach the people of Magdalena how to protect their money and make it grow, through investment strategies, savings, debt reduction. Maybe I'll even show them how to apply for a small business loan, analyse mortgage rates and things like that." What a saint.
I could go on, but I'm going to leave it at that. I didn't like A Family Affair, and I'm bemused by how many people did. Dan Holloway pointed out that I should have known better than to make Amazon's chart my starting point, so for next week, I'm picking one of the (many) suggestions you've all made. (Thanks so much, by the way, for bothering.)
Hannah Freeman and I have been going through them all, logging them into a document. I've been clicking on those that intrigued me, particularly those recommended by more than one person – repeated plugging of your own novel doesn't count! – reading some beginnings, stopping when wayward commas or irritating writing put me off. I don't think there's a particularly fair way to do this, although I'm open to suggestions, so I'm just going to plump for the novel that I thought looked most interesting.
I liked the sound of David J Rodger's The Black Lake, recommended by JadedDrVirgo, trencherman, DoctorTOC and Matthias Plunkett - its opening didn't immediately enrage me, and it's been recommended by SFX. Ditto Adrift on the Sea of Rains by Ian Sales, pitched by garygibson, and Hugh Howey's Wool, recommended by many – I hadn't heard of this one, but apparently it's a self-publishing phenomenon, bought by Ridley Scott for a film, and in the UK by Century.
Bear in mind that I'm a sucker for SFF and thrillers, so this is going to be what I'm drawn to. Perhaps we could rotate this blog through different members of the books team, meaning each week we got a different flavour of self-published novel … What do you all think?
Meanwhile, I think I'm going to go for The Black Lake for next week, if people are happy with that. OK?

Thousands of teachers dressed in red swarmed through downtown and marched outside of schools across the city in this, the nation's third-largest school system, as families raced to find alternative child care — an available relative, a city-sponsored day-care program, anything — for classes they had learned were called off only hours before the week began.
The strike, Chicago's first in 25 years and the first in a major city in a half-dozen years, also revealed a rift between unions and Mr. Emanuel, a Democrat and former chief of staff to
Closed-door negotiations continued late into Monday night between Chicago Public Schools officials and leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union. A school official said both sides needed a night to digest the latest proposals. Labor groups and teachers in other cities voiced support for strikers here, suggesting that the fight in Chicago was merely one glimpse at a mounting national struggle over unionized teachers' pay, conditions, benefits and standing.
"You have a situation where the teachers feel totally and completely disrespected," said
For his part, Mr. Emanuel, facing the most serious crisis since he became mayor in 2011, deemed the work stoppage an avoidable "strike of choice," urged teachers to return to work, and seemed eager to dismiss all talk about political fallout — for himself or for Mr. Obama, whose former aides founded a "
"Don't worry about the test of my leadership," Mr. Emanuel said, in an appearance at one of scores of sites opened in a rush as part of a contingency plan to manage displaced students who had nowhere else to go. "Don't take it out on the kids of the city of Chicago if you have a problem with me."
Republicans were quick to weigh in on the circumstances that had pitted a Democratic mayor against 26,000 unionized teachers.
Mr. Obama on Monday issued no specific reaction to the strike.
For months, a conflict had been simmering here between the teachers and Mr. Emanuel, who has pledged to make the most comprehensive reform in the Chicago Public Schools in a decade. Still, the strike, announced around 10 p.m. on Sunday, took many by surprise.
School officials said they had made significant concessions in the contract talks, including what would amount to a 16 percent increase for teachers over four years despite what is expected to be a $1 billion deficit in the system's operating budget next year. The officials said only two issues were still subjects of dispute — how to evaluate teachers and whether teaching openings should automatically go to laid-off teachers.
School board officials said the average salary for teachers here is $76,000.
But on Monday, union officials seemed to suggest that the dispute was larger, and included other issues related to benefits, how to calculate raises based on experience level, training days for teachers, and more.
Outside the schools here, though, in the lines of marchers, the issues seemed ever broader. Many teachers said they were troubled by a new evaluation system and its reliance on student test scores. Teachers spoke of rising class sizes, much-needed social workers, a dearth of air-conditioned classrooms and slow-to-arrive reference books, and, again and again, a sense of disrespect.
Teachers also clearly saw the strike as a protest not just of the union negotiations in Chicago but on data-driven education reform nationwide, which many perceived as being pushed by corporate interests and relying too heavily on standardized tests to measure student progress.
At Lane Tech College Prep, where many passing motorists honked their support for the teachers, Steve Parsons, a teacher, said he believed the city was ultimately aiming to privatize education through
"We need to stay out as long as it takes to get a fair contract and protect our schools," he said.
Around Chicago, parents said they were struggling to find places to send their children for some uncertain number of days or weeks or, as one worried parent offered unhappily, months. Some brought children to their workplaces, and others took days off. City officials opened 144 schools for half-days of games, movies, puzzles, basketball and meals with nonunion workers, but some parents expressed concern about the safety or value of those options, and others seemed uncomfortable with the prospect of crossing picket lines to enter.
"This was very bad timing," said Karen Miles, who said she had to cancel work meetings on Monday to juggle her daughters. "I plan my day around their school," she said, inside her daughters' school — one of the contingency sites — on the city's North Side, where one sign read, "Your kids deserve what Rahm's kids get," an allusion to the mayor's children's attendance at a private school.
"I don't get paid," Ms. Miles added, "if I don't work."
In recent years, school strikes in major cities have been relatively rare, last occurring in
By late Monday, thousands of teachers and supporters, including a sprinkling of firefighters and
Kelly Farrell, a kindergarten teacher at Higgins Elementary on the city's South Side, said her class had so many pupils that she did not even have enough seats for them all. "They are 5 years old," she said. "They want their teacher's attention, and there is one of me and 43 of them."Continue reading the main story

Sharif, Ali (1998) Negative skin friction on single piles in clay subjected to direct and indirect loading. Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Text (application/pdf)3MB
A numerical model employing the finite element technique is developed to analyze the negative skin friction induced in single floating piles subjected to direct and indirect loading. The pile is embedded in saturated clay. The clay is subjected to surcharge pressure for generating indirect loading on the pile. The soil is assumed to behave as a linearly elastic perfectly plastic material with a yield function defined by the Mohr-Coulomb equation. The results of the numerical model compared well with the field data. A parametric study is presented to show the influence of various parameters on the location of neutral plane. It has been found that the level of direct loading introduced in terms of factor of safety has a major effect in locating the neutral plane. Based on the results of the present investigation, a design formula together with design charts are given for determining the allowable bearing capacity of coated and uncoated single piles.
