Interdisciplinary Studies
Much of the Lower School curriculum is organized around themes to demonstrate the relationship among subject areas. This thematic approach involves children in an interdisciplinary experience connecting language, math, science, social studies, and the arts. Learning experiences are constructed to provide students with both a single discipline perspective and an interdisciplinary orientation. As information is acquired or new meaning constructed, students are guided in making connections to prior knowledge and in discovering the relevance of their work to the world beyond school. This practice allows students to study topics in a richer, more realistic way, and helps them better see the relationships between various points of view.
Some curricular content changes from year to year, according to the interests of the students. Waynflete's Early Childhood Program is significantly influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach. Through this approach, teachers use children's emergent questions and interests as springboards for designing collaborative, open-ended explorations using a variety of materials. These questions continue to be powerful starting points to engage young minds, lead children in new directions, nurture their sense of wonder, and broaden their experience. Other topics of study are selected by the faculty to teach important skills, knowledge, and concepts in the context of traditionally motivating themes. Teachers may also introduce topics of personal interest, allowing students to witness and participate in the excitement of deep engagement in a field of study. The curriculum seeks to honor the contributions and legacies of men and women of diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Our Global Studies program, entering its twenty-fifth year, seeks to develop in our children the seeds of cross-cultural understanding, critical for children growing up in a globally connected world.

Holidays in South Africa
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from South Africa!
Despite being away from family, we had a great holiday season in South Africa. It was still strange, though, being in the Southern Hemisphere. We're used to cold weather this time of year, so it was a little hard to put on Christmas music and feel festive. In the same week, we went surfing and got sunburnt, enjoyed a carol's concert, swam in the pool and opened Christmas presents. It was confusing. Continue reading

FGF1, also known as acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), is a growth factor and signaling protein encoded by the FGF1 gene.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 is a protein that in mammals is encoded by the FGF21 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family and specifically a member of the endocrine subfamily which includes FGF23 and FGF15/19. FGF21 is the primary endogenous agonist of the FGF21 receptor, which is composed of the co-receptors FGF receptor 1 and β-Klotho.FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor oncogene partner 2 (FGFR1OP2) was identified in a study on myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS).
Glia-activating factor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF9 gene.

Gough , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty NBC may have done its upfront presentation six weeks before its rivals and canceled its annual shindig at Radio City Music Hall. But the company is planning to make a splash of its own with a multimedia "theme park" presentation on the Monday of upfront week."The NBC Universal Experience," as it's being called, will take the 4-7 p.m. slot on May 12 at Rockefeller Center. "It's going to be fun," said John Miller, president of the NBC Agency, which has planned all of NBC's upfront presentations since the mid-1980s.NBC Uni is being stingy with details out of concern of taking the wraps off the still-developing plans, but the idea is to de-emphasize the struggling broadcast network and demonstrate to advertisers and Madison Avenue that the company is much more than just NBC.NBC Uni also owns cable channels MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Sci-Fi, Bravo and Oxygen; Telemundo; Universal's TV and movie production studios; and resorts and theme parks in Hollywood, Florida and Japan. NBC Uni notes that its properties reach nine out of every 10 Americans every month."These upfronts have been so focused on the network programming that the rest of the company has been a two-minute add on at the end of the presentation," said Michael Bass, NBC Uni's new senior vp strategic initiatives who is developing the "experience." "What (NBC Uni chief) Jeff Zucker wanted to do was show off all the dynamic assets of our company."While the network initially said it would have a companywide party for advertisers on May 12, the idea has grown. Bass said NBC Uni will use technology and live events so that the advertisers can learn what the company has to offer.Each multimedia station will lead the attendees toward the final destination, the traditional party at the ice rink at Rockefeller Plaza.NBC this month gave advertisers and the media a deep dive into its 65-week schedule during in a series of presentations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. There might be a news conference on May 12, but insiders don't expect a lot of schedule or programming announcements."It's not a presentation in the normal sense of the word," Miller said. "It's sort of a theme park, and it's fun to spend four hours in a theme park sometimes. It will be, this time." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Paul J.

Yes, it's over. The worst part is now over, the losses we endured as fans at home has come to a screeching halt in St. Pete's against the Tampa Rays. The Phillies took it to the Rays by a score of 10-1.
Man, it feels good to win again! I've nearly forgotten the 1-8 homestand and the 6 game losing streak.

Packaging design for pan-European brands
Are you the Marketing Director or CEO of a pan-European product company looking for a brand packaging design partner?
Our clients are often running the corporate hub of a network of European companies. They're responsible for the generation of a master brand and pack design that the countries then roll out themselves.
Often they have a new product to launch into the range of an existing brand and need new packaging design. Perhaps the new product to launch won't fit under any of the existing brands in their portfolio and so they need to create a new brand. Or it could be that the brand looks out of date in its marketplace; the product formulation and benefits may have been improved and this also needs to be reflected in the packaging.
They're feeling the pressure. They know that about 80% of all new product and brand launches fail within 1 year.
Why established corporates choose us
They choose to work with us because of our expertise in packaging design. While we have experience of designing packaging for a wide range of household products, our depth of experience working with ranges made of natural products – pharmaceutical, food and drink, gardening – suits their portfolio.
They also like the way we work and the quality of service we deliver.
Previously in their career they've most likely worked for huge multinational organisations and have experienced what it's like to be a client of a big networked agency. They know what big looks and feels like, and know that their company would play second fiddle to the larger accounts on the books. The inflexibility of big agencies doesn't suit the way they want to work.
Senior, experienced support
They want the best people on their case; senior intelligent creative agency strategic staff and designers, and not junior staff on their projects. And because they're responsible for delivering projects for marketing teams in other countries that don't always see things their way, they value our experienced support with managing various stakeholders.
Our clients really like to be involved in the design process because they recognise the power packaging design has to make a brand and a product successful. They've seen the process or end design go wrong before and know how careful you have to be in your choice of packaging design agency.
They need to use market research at some point in a project, usually quantitative and sometimes qualitative. They're happy that we have evolved a way of working that slots market research seamlessly into our process, eliminating many of the project headaches on the way.
They're experienced enough to not feel the need to work with a big name agency and are confident to look further afield for a different kind of agency to help them get their packaging design right.
Best of UK design, from Britain's most creative city
Finally our clients understand the value of UK design, and want it for their product. They know that London agencies are expensive, and they've heard of the noise that Bristol is making as a creative design city.
If this sounds like you, get in touch. Call on 0117 973 7936 or email.

Where can I find this amazing oil? I want some! I've been using Clarin's blue lotus facial oil as a treat twice a week, but it's not a smell I'd usually associate with sleep, like lavender, so it might be time for a swap!ReplyDeleteReplies

Subscribe To The Wild Fan Reactions One Walking Dead Actor Had To Deal With For A Long Time Updates
Warning: spoilers ahead for the latest episode of The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead is one of the most popular shows on television, and fans who have stuck around for seven seasons are pretty invested in the characters by this point. One character who was never especially popular with viewers was none other than Father Gabriel, whose most defining qualities early on were cowardice and disloyalty. Actor Seth Gilliam has now revealed his thoughts on Gabriel's growth and how fans reacted to him in his early days on the show, saying this:
Seth Gilliam shared the story of fan reactions to his character during an appearance on Talking Dead, and the reactions certainly sound like they could make for a depressing convention experience. Anybody who takes a break from fun at a fan con to heckle an actor for his character's actions must have some seriously strong feelings about that character. Unfortunately for Gilliam, he happened to play a character that was really, really hard to like for many people for a long time.
That said, Gabriel has really begun to hold his own in the zombie apocalypse over the past couple of seasons. Once he finally accepted that he needs to get his hands dirty and help out if he wants to survive, he became a useful member of the group. Sure, sometimes he's just babysitting Judith or manning the gate, but somebody needs to do those things, and he's certainly doing more than he used to.
In the last couple of episodes, Gabriel even managed to leave a clue for Rick and Co. to come after him (and their entire pantry full of goods) after Jadis and her group raided Alexandria. Given that Jadis' group could be a valuable ally to Alexandria (provided that Rick gets his hands on a whole bunch of guns for them), Gabriel could be indirectly responsible for an alliance to make a stand against Negan. Who knows? Maybe Gabriel will go down as one of the big heroes of Season 7. Anything can really happen at this point.
For Seth Gilliam's sake, I hope fans enjoy Gabriel's journey in Season 7 enough to stop telling him that they dislike him at conventions. If not, he can always bond with Jeffrey Dean Morgan over getting hate because of what their characters get up to.
You can catch new episodes of The Walking Dead on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. Take a look at our midseason TV premiere schedule to see what non-zombie apocalypse series are on the airwaves nowadays.

On Sunday it was somewhere in the 90's, obviously quite warm, especially when you are wearing a polyester hat. Okay, well maybe not a hat, but wigs sure do often feel like that. In the top outfit, I am a little bit warmer, but more comfortable about the look of my arms. Generally speaking, when I am out and about I am very self conscious about the size of my arms. There really is not much that can be done to disguise the size of them, except for covering them. Thus I will often cover them.
In many of my pictures, I will have my arm up on my hip as it will help to make me look like I have larger hips and it will also make my arm look a little smaller. But when walking around in public, it is a little difficult to walk with my hands on my hips. Okay maybe more than a little difficult. A lot difficult to the point that it is not possible.
This also brings up an issue that Jules and I were discussing this weekend. We decided to go through our cloths and refine our wardrobes again. Kind of a spring cleaning for our clothes. Which by the way, I highly recommend for everyone to do. The thing we tried to focus on this time was fit. How exactly do the clothes that we have fit on our bodies and what do they do to help complement our bodies. We tried to look objectively at our clothing and decide if it was just a piece of fabric covering our nudity or something that was helping us to look hot. If it just covered us, we decided to not keep it. If something helped us to look hot, then obviously we kept it. Needless to say, we got rid of lots of items and are still not done.
Gosh, I babble a lot. Okay so what exactly did Jules and I discuss? We discussed, where do the clothes fall on your body. For example, I got rid of a few shirts this weekend, because the arms ended right at the largest portion of my biceps. That made my arms look extra large. And Jules? She got rid of some of her favorite items because they fell right at the largest part of her stomach. She is not extra large but when the bottom of her shirt fell right there, or her skirts began right there, it made her look on the extra large size. If that line is moved up or down on her it vastly improved the looks of her clothes. For me, the only thing that really helped to make my arms look smaller is to move the end of the arms down. I think the best look is a 3/4 sleeve length. Or full length sleeves.
Okay. Gotta run. Love ya!

The mortgage industry's response to the announcement of the new rules has been mixed. No doubt about it.
A number of market, regulatory and legislative developments are working together to reinforce the importance of consumer protection and internal controls in the area of banking and mortgage products. Whether it is mortgage loans, consumer loans, credit cards or other credit products, Congress, state legislatures, federal and state banking authorities and state attorney generals are looking at the products - their terms, disclosures and uses - for compliance with existing consumer protection and other laws.
The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau issued new oversight rules to ensure prospective homebuyers have the ability to repay their mortgages and to make the whole process more transparent. They go into effect in January, 10, 2014. Fannie Mae has updated their systems to comply. See attached notice.
The "Ability-to-Pay", is totally about the future of loan performance, the saleability of loans to investors and lender protection. Whether a lender adheres to a 43% DTI or they approve a loan with 55% DTI, at the end of the day, compliance, quality control and risk management is every lender's concern. Lenders do not want to be sued or have to buy a loan back because of default.
Just to recap, these rules set new, national standards to help make sure borrowers are treated fairly and have a better chance of getting a loan.
The New Federal Rules
Staring next January, mortgage lenders must:
Ultimately, the final verdict on this rule will be made by the market. I believe the rule will effectively block the return of risky product features and inadequate documentation. If it also provides lenders the certainty needed to originate qualified mortgages broadly across the market to creditworthy borrowers, it will have been a success. However, if the result is a tightening of credit as lenders pull back from offering loans that would create greater risk of litigation, the CFPB may need to quickly revisit the rule to avoid harming the housing recovery.
The response from state policymakers has been mixed as well, with a sense of relief that at least the rules are out. Many states and lenders have hit the 'pause' button in our own consumer protection efforts in this arena, at least to some extent, while waiting to see if their investors will actually buy loans outside the Ability-to-Pay rules.
It is too early to gauge the effect of this rule. It is my opinion, that lenders will stay "under the radar" from potential liability and they are preparing for multiple in-house and external audits in doing so. Today, loan approval is not a "one-shoe-fits-all" approach. The file will have to be well documented and convincing that the borrower has the ability to pay the entire mortgage.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Named a Colombian National Monument in 1954, the village has dedicated the last 60 years to preservation and small-town tourism. This has allowed the Villa to flourish into an enchanting weekend getaway with a thriving artisan community, cozy hotels, and nearby trails and archaeological sites.
Encounter beautifully preserved colonial architecture, explore Colombia's picturesque countryside, and fall asleep in a charming boutique hotel on this Villa de Leyva overnight getaway.
Duration: 2 days, one night
Start & End Points: Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Bogota
Trip Type: Private tour
Day 1: Explore Villa de Leyva
Your day begins with hotel pick-up in Bogota at 7:00 am. Drive 2.5 hours to Ráquira, where you'll have a chance to stretch your legs and explore the colorful village famous for its long tradition of pottery work.
In the late morning, travel to El Infiernito (The Little Hell) a pristine archaeological site and pre-Spanish observatory used for agricultural purposes. Learn the fascinating history and why Spanish conquistadors considered the observatory an inferno. Next, travel to Blue Pond, a lively blue water reservoir and important water source for local farmers.
You will arrive at Villa de Leyva at around 14:30 pm. Check in to your charming hotel, and then take time to explore the colonial village. We recommend you start your adventure at the Plaza Mayor. Plazas are typical indicators of Spanish colonial town planning, but the Plaza Mayor at Villa de Layva is anything but typical. At 46,000 square feet, it is considered the largest colonial town plaza in all of South America. Explore the grounds, take a peek at the breathtaking colonial church facing the plaza, and find exceptional artesanal goods in the nearby shops.
At night, enjoy dinner on the town at one of the Villa's many charming restaurants.
Day 2: Choose your own Adventure
Today is yours to enjoy Villa de Leyva and the surrounding countryside as you'd like. The village is tiny, but has abundant opportunities for exploration and adventure. Hike in nearby natural parks, go horseback riding, join a bird-watching tour, or head to nearby archaeological sites for a look at the region's pre-Spanish history and culture.
Your driver will pick you up at the hotel at 17:00 pm for your drive back to Bogota.
After you book your experience, you will receive a confirmation email from us confirming that your payment went through. You will then be connected directly to the tour operator, in case you have any further questions. We are also happy to answer any questions about the tour, or travel in general in your country of destination.

Google+ has launched a redesign of its pages with an emphasis on much needed improvements in usability.
The most significant change is a reorganization and redesign of the social media site's navigation. The menu bar now displays as column on the left with large icons that clearly indicate the section one is in. Additionally, the improved navigation makes it now more user intuitive to switch between personal Google+ page and company Google+ page. This task was extremely cumbersome in the prior version of the navigation.
Additional changes to mention are improvements to hangouts, integration of the Picasa photo editor, new Explore page, and a slider feature in circles.
As far as the new design is concerned, there has already been critical remarks about its odd whitespace on the right side and the obvious mimicking of Facebook with the new profile banner.
The official Google+ promotional videos puts a happy face to these changes:

Jason Wu, Jason Wu for Target, Karl Lagerfeld, Macy, Michelle Obama, Missoni, Target Corporation
Has everyone recovered from Missoni for Target, yet? If so, Jason Wu for Target will be in stores on Sunday, February 5! If you don't know the name, then you might remember the First Lady Michelle Obama's beautiful Inaugural Gown, which was designed by up-and-coming Jason Wu. Like many high-end designers are taking on the mass market sector, such as Missoni for Target, Versace for H&M, and Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's, the highly anticipated designer is going main stream. Dresses vary from $19.99 to $59.99.
Of the 32 photos shown of the collection on the Fashionista, the looks below are my favorites. I love the simplicity but yet each piece can be dressed up or down in several ways, or just worn solo. My absolute favorite is the clean lines of the white dress with the peek-a-boo black lining! So classic and chic! These dresses are work appropriate (for those that work in a corporate office), great for date nights (just in time for Valentine's Day), or even Sunday morning brunch. Versatility. Love it!
Also from Fashionista, this photo is from this past weekend that Target put up in NYC's TriBeCa of mischievous Milu the cat that you'll see printed on some of Jason Wu's items.
Let's just say, I'm glad the launch date will be on a Sunday so I can 1) be up right at midnight hoping for Target's website to have these available online (and doesn't crash like Missoni did) or 2) be in line at the closest Target!
See you on Life's Runway!
xO, Kristin

Competitive Bidding: The Probability of Winningby Neal B. H. Benjamin, Asst. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of Missouri, Columbia, MO,
Serial Information: Journal of the Construction Division, 1972, Vol. 98, Issue 2, Pg. 313-330
Document Type: Journal Paper
Current competitive bidding strategy models are reviewed critically with emphasis placed on similarities and differences between methods of valuating projects and between methods used to assess the probabilities of winning with different bids. A contractor's 3-yr bidding experience is analyzed. It is shown that a contractor does not, in general, have data of sufficient quantity and quality needed to use current bidding models. The validity of the use of classical single variable statistical analysis procedures is questioned.

The dyke, which is designated a Unesco World Heritage site, is believed to have been destroyed close to the Pontcysyllte aqueduct in North Wales last Sunday.
Police and Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service, said they were investigating allegations that a group of travellers were responsible for the damage.
A Cadw representative who inspected the scene was said to have likened the incident to "driving a road through Stonehenge".
Anyone found to have damaged the 8th century monument can face a six-month jail sentence or a £5,000 fine.
Jim Saunders of the Offa's Dyke Association said: "We had a report that quite a well-preserved part of the dyke had been damaged by the new landowner.
"There has been some suggestion that the new landowners are travellers, but we've been unable to contact them."
The owner of the field, who said he had bought the site last month, insisted he had "no idea" the area was of historic importance, the Daily Mail reported.
The man, who gave his name only as 'Danny', said: "I've lived here all my life and I've never heard of Offa's Dyke.
"We bought this from a bloke next door and want to put stables on it. Nobody said anything to us about a historic monument, it wasn't mentioned."
When asked if he belonged to the travelling community, he is said to have replied: "What's that got to do with it?"
Offa's Dyke, a linear earthwork that roughly follows the England-Wales boundary, comprises a ditch and rampart.
Its origins are not entirely known but it is believed to have been built by King Offa of Mercia, who reigned from 757 to 796AD.
Much of the dyke can still be traced along the 80 miles between the Wye valley to Wrexham.

Introduction to Philosophy
Example Evaluations of Test Essay Questions
Abstract: Further examples are taken from student tests to illustrate how essays are evaluated.
Further Reading:
Philosophy is a complex linguistic activity that often hides its complexity in a plain style. All is not quite what it seems when we enter the busy world of philosophical writings. From reading contemporary philosophy journals, one first gets the impression of a serious world of logical argument. Philosophers calmly argue in a judicious and even handed fashion. For the most part they seek truth courteously, trying to remain obejctive, impartial and serious. The stately procession of arguments leading from premises to conclusions is the important thing. Locially sound arguments convince the reader by appealing to what is obvious, clear, or self-evidently true. The obvious truth speaks itself, and the philosopher simply consturcts an orderly channel throught which it can have its say. Jeff Mason, The Philosopher's Address (Idaho Falls, Idaho: Lexington Books, 1999), 2.

What drives this life that lives itself through us,
If not awakening's ruthless urge pushing us along?
Our thought-machine hardly gets a break,
Unless temporarily on hold or out of order.
Worries and wants flow without a pause,
Like water from a faucet with a broken handle.
Eventually, all the fuss wears itself out or just winds down,
As we're steeped in the silence of our inner garden.

Flow Studies for Bass Trombone by David Vining is appropriate for high school through professional trombone players.

text: DigitalFoursquare Raises Another $50MIs the location-based startup worth $600M?By Anthony Ha|June 24, 2011 ShareBy Anthony Ha|June 24, 2011 Share It has been a week of good news for Foursquare. On Monday, the location-based social networking startup announced that it has more than 10 million members; now it's finishing the week by revealing that it has raised $50 million in a new round of funding. More impressive than the funding itself is the $600 million valuation that was first reported in TechCrunch, and seems to have been confirmed by The New York Times. Adweek has already written about the company's paltry revenue and the uncertainty around its business model—at the time, the rumored valuation was a mere $500 million. In fact, several firms stayed away from the deal because of that uncertainty, according to TechCrunch. That may be one of the reasons why Foursquare stuck largely with its existing investors. Andreessen Horowitz led Foursquare's $20 million funding last year, and it played the same role in the new round. New investor Spark Capital also participated, as did previous backers O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures and Union Square Ventures. Foursquare says it plans to use the money to hire more engineers, expand the features it offers to merchants, and "try a ton of new things." The funding blog post also offers a vision that goes beyond letting people check in to their favorite spots: "It's about making the world easier to use. It's about discovering new places, connecting with friends, and forging new relationships with the places you visit." Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kIrwC9 copy Adweek Adweek

In post one I introduced the book by Matthew Bates (The Hermeneutics of Apostolic Proclamation: The Center of Paul's Method of Scriptural Interpretation (Waco: Baylor University Press, 2012). In post two I spoke about his critique of intertextuality.
In this post I will briefly discuss some of his points about typology, allegory, and mimēsis.
The popular way to use the terms "typology" and "allegory" are to mark the distinction between better and worse forms of nonliteral exegesis. Bates picks up on Frances Young's proposal that both typology and allegory are part of a larger strategy of reading which she called "mimēsis" or figural representation. Young writes:
"Mimēsis was a key concept in ancient understanding of literature. The performance of epic or drama created a 'representation' of life from which the audience learnt. In the ancient Church mimēsis or 'representation' was important. It underlay the enactment of the saving events in the sacraments, as well as the 'exemplary' use of scripture: great heroes were listed to illustrate a particular virtue, so a character like Job came to embody patience, and Christ's life and death were set forth as a way to be imitated. […] 'Mimetic exegesis' assumes the replay of a drama – an act or plot – and so had a place in forming ethics, lifestyle and liturgy."
Typology makes use of iconic mimēsis: that is, "representation (mimēsis) through genuine likeness, an analogy, 'ikon' or image." This "requires a mirroring of the supposed deeper meaning in the text taken as a coherent whole."
Allegory, on the other hand, makes use of symbolic mimēsis: that is, representation "by a symbol, something unlike which stands for the reality" (210). Bates uses the example of a painting to illustrate their differences.
A realistic painting with genuine correspondence to the eyes of the subject who posed for the painting, while at the same time the eyes hold a proportional relationship to the rest of the subject's face would be an iconic relationship. But if an alien code is brought in to interpret the painting such as the subject represented in the painting symbolizes greed, then the bright eyes in the portrait might be regarded as silver coins. Or if the face had a skeletal outline it might symbolize death. The point here is that there is not an iconic relationship (the subject's eyes) but rather a symbolic relationship (silver coins or the skeleton).
Bates affirms that Paul uses both types of mimesis and because of the associations with typology and allegory we should adopt iconic and symbolic mimēsis.
What Generates Our Reading?
Bates takes the argument further than Young though. He argues that both types of mimesis are not generative, but rather ornamentative. What generates these readings is the apostolic kerygma and Paul communicates through the ornament of mimēsis (typology and allegory).
Bates argues that we have typology and allegory backwards. Paul does not use typology or allegory as a method, but rather the apostolic kerygma and the present application generate these readings. Paul then decorate these readings with either typology or allegory. As Bates says:
the engine that drives this identification of "types" does not move from text to present application, but rather in reverse. It is only in light of the efficacious results of the apostolic kerygma, and hence through its realigning grid, that these mimetic correspondences between past and present can be observed by Paul (148).
To speak of typology or allegory as generating scriptural interpretation is misguided. It is only by virtue of the guiding presence of the apostolic kerygma that the mimetic relationship between the past and present can be observed as deliberately anticipatory and metaphorically labeled as a type in post hoc fashion by Paul.
So is Paul's hermeneutic typological? Bates says the best answer is both "yes" and "no." No because typology was not a reified interpretative technique available in Paul's day and age. Paul did not go searching the Scriptures for types in and of themselves. But "yes" since Paul noticed mimēsis occurring between chronologically separated people and after noting this mimēsis he employed τὐπος language metaphorically to draw attention to that mimēsis.
Thus for Paul, the selection of a suitable trope occurs subsequent to the linking of the mental images. Thus, in the final analysis, Paul does use a "typology" of sorts, but only if properly nuanced.
On the first point, Bates affirms that Paul uses both iconic and symbolic mimēsis, and I would agree. Yet he goes onto argue that because of the associations with typology and allegory we should adopt iconic and symbolic mimēsis as our new terminology. I tend to think we should retain the more "biblical" language of typology and allegory and work at redefining their connotations.
I do wonder if these things are even closer than Bates and Young suppose. Peter Martens has an article where he argues typology is actually a subcategory of allegory or a type of allegorical interpretation.
Concerning what the engine is or what generates readings, Bates proposal is very different than the way I (and I think most people) have conceived of things. I will need time to let it simmer. One point is worth bringing up though. It is hard for me to escape the notion that Paul uses typology and allegory as reading strategies in and of themselves. Certainly the kerygma is the foundation or the light to the types. But Paul still seems to "find" types and thus could both the kerygma and mimēsis generate readings in concert? In other words, has Bates set up a false antithesis or has he clarified the order and placement of these things?

Our spring retreat was last weekend. We where in a wonderful house, right on the PGA West Golf Course in La Quinta,Ca. The weather could not have been better for lounging, knitting, felting, eating, swimming, and relaxing with each other.
Enjoy the Photos
Day 1 started with a stop at Colors in Claremont Village. I love this shop. You can tell from the outside that you are in for treat!
The shop is small, but has
so many wonderful yarns!
The girls working there where the best
with 14 of us raiding their space.
They where very helpful and again
what a great selection of Yarn.
This is our Abode for the weekend.
We spent most of the weekend outside.
Lots of great seating, shade and water.
Manning the Barbecue in the Dark on the first night.
Notice the OTT light?
Conversation, glass of wine and
a great Kitchen.
Does it get any better?
This is what we looked at on the

This is the PGA West gold course.
It was closed for reseeding so we were
able to take our golf cart onto the golf course.
What an amazing Golf Course
Back at the Ranch
Enjoying the Table before the sun gets there
Jenny bought some needlefelting kits

Settling in for the Evening
Friday Night's dinner was a catered Taco Bar.
Rosa prepared it all for us and boy was it good.
Saturday morning we Felted Soap.

Tests and Diagnosis for Asthma
Asthma is diagnosed by a health care provider based on your medical history and physical exam. Often, your health care provider will make the diagnosis based on your history of lung symptoms and evidence of expiratory airflow limitation, which is when the flow of air is lower than normal when breathing out. Sometimes your doctor will order test results to help with the diagnosis of expiratory airflow limitation. Asthma is most commonly diagnosed and managed by primary care physicians, but, depending on the severity of your asthma, your doctor may refer you to see an asthma specialist. Your health care provider will determine the severity of your asthma, whether it is intermittent, mild, moderate or severe, in order to choose appropriate treatments.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
What Will My Health Care Provider Ask About My Medical History?
Your health care provider may ask about your history and whether anyone in your family has asthma, allergies or eczema. Your health care provider will ask you details of your asthma symptoms and when and how often they occur. He or she will likely ask about other health conditions that may coexist with and affect your asthma, such as whether you have sinus infections, seasonal allergies, reflux disease, psychological stress, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety or obesity.
What If I Only Have a Cough?
Sometimes cough is the only symptom for asthma. This can be due to cough variant asthma, which produces cough and airway hyperresponsiveness. Sometimes chronic cough can be due to conditions other than asthma, such as a cough from postnasal drip, chronic sinusitis, reflux, vocal cord dysfunction or allergic bronchitis.
What If I Am a Current or Former Smoker?
Your health care provider may ask about whether you are a current or former smoker. Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may coexist and overlap (asthma-COPD overlap syndrome). Individuals with asthma-COPD overlap syndrome have worse outcomes than from asthma or COPD alone, so your doctor may try to differentiate between the two.
What Will My Health Care Provider Look For on a Physical Exam?
Your health care provider will listen to your breathing with a stethoscope. He or she will listen for wheezing or other abnormal lung sounds and check for runny nose, swollen nasal passages, allergic conjunctivitis and eczema.
Are There Tests for Asthma?
Many health care providers can diagnose asthma based on just the medical history and physical exam. Your health care provider may consider ordering a lung function test, such as spirometry, which checks how your lungs are working. The test measures how much air you can breathe in and out and how fast you can blow air out. Lung function tests can help diagnose asthma and determine severity. Follow-up lung function tests after treatment can help doctors determine whether treatment regimens are working. Other tests that your health care provider could order include allergy testing to see if any allergens affect you and could trigger your asthma, tests to look for coexisting conditions like reflux, vocal cord dysfunction or sleep apnea. Sometimes health care providers order chest X-rays.
How Do You Diagnose Asthma in Children?
Diagnosing asthma in young children can be difficult for many reasons. First, many children with asthma develop symptoms before the age of 5, but it can be difficult to differentiate asthma from viral illnesses that trigger wheezing, such as bronchiolitis, colds or other lung infections. A young child may be more likely to wheeze because his or her airways are smaller. It is also harder to diagnose asthma in young children because they are too young to cooperate with lung function tests.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Thursday that India and France reviewed 'major' deal for fighter jets and nuclear reactors during French President Francoi Hollande's first day in the country. Hollande is hoping to seal a multi-billion dollar contract with India on Rafale fighter jets during the trip.
The Prime Minister also discussed Afghanistan and Pakistan issues with the French President who is currently on a two-day visit. India and France signed four pacts for cooperation in the space railway, education and culture sectors, Prime Minister Manmohan added. Hollande will be in Mumbai on Friday in a bid to boost commercial ties.
Protests against French-assisted Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project is likely to feature in the discussions. Issues of urban development, education, research and development, pharmaceuticals and renewable energy are also expected to be discussed on this trip.
A total of 11 companies from the urban development sector of France are part of the Presidential delegation. These include heavyweights such as Veolia Environnement, Lafarge, Degremont, Vossloh Cogifer, J C Decaux etc.
In the recent months, the two giants of water treatment - Suez as well as Veolia - have bagged some key contracts in India, giving a boost to the French presence in the country. To attract the French companies, with their extensive savoir-faire, Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath had visited Paris in September where he signed an MoU to boost cooperation in this domain.
Another major contract likely to be signed during the visit of Hollande relates to the Bangalore Metro where two French players - Alstom and Thales - may win lucrative deals. The Indo-French agreement in the field of Sustainable Urban Development enables cooperation between the two countries in the areas of mass transportation system, water supply and sewerage systems, disposal and treatment of solid waste, green housing and urban planning.
It aims at capacity building of personnel to enhance their capacity for managing the process of urbanization. Under this MoU, it will be possible to exchange information between the government officials and technical experts in India and France as well as public bodies, states, local and regional authorities and also local self governments in the field of sustainable urban development for improving basic urban services.
The two governments have set up a formal mechanism - Indo-French Joint Working Group - to oversee the implementation of this memorandum. It will lay down a programme of action for each year and appraise the achievement there under. Recently, a training on urban planning was organised in Paris for the benefit of urban sector professionals working in different states and organisations.
A total of 17 agreements are expected to be signed, notably one between the seven Indian IITs and Paris Tech, which brings together leading French research and development institutions. Indian Communications and Information Technology Minister Kapil Sibal and his French counterpart will also address a day-long session on collaboration between India and France in this key domain.

Rebound Behavioral Health is pleased to offer a leading intensive outpatient program for men and women struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. Serving the greater Charlotte and Lancaster area, Rebound provides the tools needed to find lasting recovery.
Our Program Philosophy
As one of the leading mental health and substance abuse treatment programs near Charlotte in Lancaster, we know that every client we meet is unique. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Rebound Behavioral Health is designed to address substance abuse, mental health disorders, and co-occurring concerns. We know that both addiction and mental health disorders are chronic, life-long, relapsing conditions that require individualized treatment plans and ongoing support. Rebound understands that the decision to enter treatment is far from easy and we know that you may feel anxiety in taking this step. Rest assured that Rebound will be here to support you and guide you through every step of your journey.
IOP Program Benefits
Generally, co-occurring disorders may be a result of the primary disorder. While many people turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate the symptoms of mental health disorder, this can progress from psychological dependence to physical dependence and addiction quite easily. On the other hand, chronic drug or alcohol use changes the structure and functioning of the brain and can trigger a dormant psychiatric illness. Regardless of whether substance abuse or the mental health disorder develops first, it will be nearly impossible to create lasting change until both disorders are diagnosed, treated, and managed over time. Clients who will benefit from our IOP program are:
- Clients motivated to work toward their own recovery
- Clients who require intensive education about how to manage their symptoms
- Clients who would like to resolve family concerns and any legal obligations
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) near Charlotte, in Lancaster, serves as a step-up from traditional outpatient therapy programs or as a step-down from inpatient programs. As we understand how important it is to be able to continue to function in your daily life and meet your responsibilities, our IOP program meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5:30 PM until 8:30 PM and lasts up to 12 weeks, which allows you to focus on reintegrating back into your community and life during the morning and afternoon. Most days, our IOP combines educational sessions and group therapy. The typical duration of IOP is between six and eight weeks.
Treatment Therapies
Rebound Behavioral Health's intensive outpatient program in Lancaster, near Charlotte, offers the following services:
- 12-Step programs such as A.A. and N.A.
- Comprehensive psychiatric assessments
- Comprehensive drug and alcohol use assessments
- Group therapy and counseling
- Individual counseling
- Treatment planning
- Random, frequent urine drug tests

Karzai's untenable demands could doom Afghanistan
The Afghan people's most dangerous foe is not the Taliban. It's not Pakistan nor al Qaeda. It's their president, Hamid Karzai.
Secretary of State John Kerry flew to Kabul earlier this month and spent more than 24 hours with Karzai, trying to work out an agreement that would allow a modest contingent of U.S. troops to remain in the country after 2014 to continue protecting Afghans from their enemies.
The two men said they agreed on several important issues. But the pact remained hung up on one key point: Karzai's insistence that American servicemen accused of a crime be tried in Afghan courts. Kerry made it clear the United States would not accept that - as it shouldn't.
Karzai already knew that. After all, the long-term military-assistance deal with Iraq foundered on exactly that point two years ago. (And look at Iraq today, consumed by the worst sectarian violence the nation has seen in years.)
But how does that disagreement make Karzai Afghanistan's greatest enemy?
First of all, he knows full well that 80 to 90 percent of Afghanistan's annual budget income is foreign aid from the United States and other NATO nations.
Afghanistan manufactures almost nothing of value except opium poppies, used to make 90 percent of the world's heroin. But income from that goes to drug traffickers and tithing for the Taliban. Not one dollar contributes to the budget (though government officials presumably insist on under-the-table payments from the farmers).
So when the United States and NATO leave and stop providing copious aid, the Afghan economy simply will collapse. There's little debate about that.
Serious as that prospect is, that's hardly the only problem. Mullah Muhammad Omar, the reclusive head of the Taliban, issued a warning recently saying his forces will continue aggressive attacks if Western forces stay on past next year's withdrawal date. But without the security agreement, many Afghans fear the Taliban won't simply carry out terror attacks. They'll retake most of the country.
The United Nations reports that more than half a million Afghans have already been abandoning their homes, farms, orchards or businesses in recent months. They're fleeing to the Kabul suburbs or other countries - presumably nearly certain the Taliban will return.
Earlier this month, Taliban assassins killed Arsallah Jamal, governor of Logar province, during services at a mosque 40 miles southeast of Kabul. He had been Karzai's campaign manager in the last election.
Despite all that, Karzai seems to be reneging on at least one point he and Kerry already agreed on.
In a speech recently, Karzai said "our demands" include an end to "unilateral military operations by foreign troops," a key point that was said to have been settled. The United States wants to maintain the authority to attack any al Qaeda sites the military might find.
As for the remaining sticking point, legal jurisdiction for American soldiers accused of crimes, Karzai told Kerry he will convene a loya jirga, an assembly of tribal elders, handpicked by Karzai, to decide that. Later, Karzai also suggested he believed the next government should decide whether to accept the agreement. It's supposed to take office in April. But the United States says it needs an answer by the end of this month.
What if the tribal elders or the next government insist, as Karzai has, that Americans accused of a crime be tried in Afghan courts? Kerry said he is "adamant" they be tried in U.S. courts, adding: "Afghan leaders have a choice: Either that's the way it is, or there won't be any forces there of any kind."
And no wonder. A Transparency International survey last summer found that the police and courts are the most corrupt institutions in the state, which is already tied for last place in Transparency's larger survey of corrupt nations worldwide. The report found that 65 percent of Afghans surveyed said they had paid a bribe to the judiciary at least once in the past year.
The Afghan government, of course, rejected the report. But Azizullah Ludin, head of the state's High Office of Oversight and Anti-Corruption, told TOLOnews, an Afghan TV station: "I can say that corruption exists in the Afghan judiciary to the extent that if someone has taken your cat, and you want to go to court to get your cat back, then you have to give up your cow for your cat."
Karzai and his carefully chosen loya jirga would be fools to reject America's offer. They would be condemning the nation and its people to a fate horrid beyond imagining.
