5 tips for making up after an argument
We all have arguements with our nearest and dearest from time to time. We're not perfect and it's healthy to challenge each other. Just like when you're being annoyed at your work bestie for eating the last slice of office birthday cake, or you've been arguing with your mum because she put pressure on you AGAIN to get hitched and pop out grandkids.
With today, August 25th, being Kiss and Make Up Day, we reckon it's time to literally kiss and make up. So, we recruited relationships counsellor, Amanda Lambros, from Curtin's School of Occupational Therapy and Social Work, to put together five communication tips for coming back from a nasty tiff. And according to her, it's just as simple as A, B, C, D, E.
- "Accept – Accept responsibility for your actions and your actions only."
- "Breathe – Rather than jumping on the situation as it occurs, take the time to breathe, reflect and revisit the situation anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes later. Taking three large and intended breaths is a good starting point to refocus on the situation."
- "Communicate – Make sure to openly, honestly and genuinely communicate with your partner (or the person you are wanting to kiss and make up with). Don't assume or make judgements, just be open and honest."
- "Disconnect – Take the time to remove yourself from any distractions. It's hard to have a serious conversation while watching The Bachelor hand out roses or while updating your status on Facebook. So make sure you're free from distractions when communicating with someone after an argument."
- "Engage – Above everything else, make sure you listen and engage with your partner. Although it might become easy to talk, it's often difficult to sit back and actively listen to what is being said – so make sure you allow the space to listen and engage with what is being said."
Now, let's all go back to being best of pals again!

Ultrasonic waves, as a novel method, were used to synthesize the nanoparticles. The morphology and surface compositions of the particles were characterized by using FESEM, XRD, BET, and particle size analyzer. The synthesized nanoparticles were then utilized as a Fenton-like catalyst to degrade of hydrocarbon contaminants of soil. The effect of using ultrasonic waves in combination with nZVI for hydrocarbon degradation was also investigated. The effects of ultrasonic power, nZVI concentration, pH, hydrogen peroxide concentration, and temperature on remediation were studied. It was found that the new nZVI synthesized by an ultrasound-assisted method had high efficiency in soil remediation. The results indicated that the efficiency of removing hydrocarbons by nZVI was 98.57%. Finally, the optimum conditions of degradation were obtained when pH, ultrasonic power, nZVI concentration temperature, and hydrogen peroxide concentration were respectively equal to 3.5, 500 W, 0.4 gr.l-1, 40 °C, and 30 mM.

This past Monday was the 35th anniversary of Billy Joel's album 52nd Street. That being said, I thought it was only fitting for me to share my love for Billy Joel with the world. When I was 10 years old my Mom took me to my first concert ever: Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden in New York. Despite the foul language of some gentlemen behind me and getting beer spilled all over my Dallas Cowboys Starter Jacket, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my formidable years. I had no idea what the songs were about, or who this man really was, but I loved every second of it.
Now here's my list of the 11 reasons why you should spend the rest of the day listening to Billy Joel.
1. To Chill Out For a Bit
If this song doesn't help you calm down for a few minutes, I don't know what will. Vienna by Billy Joel is one of those songs that sticks with you for a while. For you youngsters who don't quite believe me, check out Ariana Grande's cover of Vienna below:
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/48985596″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
2. To Decide What Type Of Wine To Drink
"A bottle Of white, a bottle of red…" I grew up with this song on repeat. Looking back now, growing up listening to a song about a divorce probably isn't the best thing but whatever. This song is great from start to finish. When you're looking for somebody to sympathize with your poor decision making skills, this is the guy to do it.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/329070″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
3. Because… Broadway!
Let's face it; you're doing something right when your music gets turned in to a Broadway theatrical play. So it didn't do that well… Oh well. The song is still great!
4. To Fit a History Lesson In Your Busy Schedule
When I was in 8th grade my U.S. History teacher, Mr. Fox, had us spend an entire class watching the music video for "We Didn't Start The Fire" and also having us memorize the lyrics. By the end of the class, we were all singing along and I haven't forgotten a word since. This song is basically a summary of the history from 1949-1989. For a more in depth look, click here to check out this awesome article.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/29277056″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
5. Billy is a Mets Fan
Okay, so this is more of a personal reason I suppose. But still, you've got to sympathize with any Mets fan that isn't drinking themselves half to death. Oh wait, Billy did that a few times…
6. He's A Romantic
A whole album of love songs? Hell yeah! And a personal favorite below.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/75453572″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
7. He's Got Superhuman Strength & Piano Flipping Abilities
Yeah, let's see you flip a piano.
8. He Offers Some Great Advice On Life
I'm not going to lie, I'm angry. Why? Because a quick Google search for "Only The Good Die Young" revealed more pictures related to the TV show Glee than Billy Joel pictures. Get your heads out of your asses, kids. This catchy tune off of Billy Joel's album, The Stranger is a nice uplifting song; that is until you learn what it's really about.
The song was originally inspired by a high school crush of Billy Joel's, Virginia Callahan. The singer believes that the girl is refusing him because she comes from a religious Catholic family and she believes sex before marriage is sinful. The song went on to cause much controversy and was protested to be removed from radio station playlists around the world. Not long after the song was banned, the album shot up the charts and became a huge success.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/28078441″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
9. To Have Deep Inner Discussions On What These Songs Are Really About
There has been quite some discussion on the meaning of this song. From rumors of it being an auto-biography on Joel's younger years of drinking and making bad choices, to it being about a drug dealer named Captain Jack on Long Island who used to sell Heroin to kids. Either way, it's a great song that's definitely open to interpretation.

10. Because… Nick Kroll!

Of all the various ingredients used in the manufacturing of modern concrete, the cheapest, most difficult to control, and most important to the quality and quantity of the concrete plant's production is water.
Water in semi-dry concrete mixes is invisible. It appears intangible because it is not subject to the precise methods of measurement as used with other materials. It is obvious that this is true because it is impractical, in the high production plant, to remove all moisture from the materials used, and then subject them to weight or volume measurement so that exact proportions are maintained. To do so would still not provide the answer to the correct quantity to use.
The information contained in this website concerns the measurement and control of the water content of the ingredients used in the mixing of concrete. The equipment described is that manufactured by Le Sueur Manufacturing Company, Inc.

I recently taught 600 kids this project at my daughter's school. It's very easy and most of the supplies are inexpensive. The kids really loved how the watercolor paints wouldn't mix with the oil pastels. They all turned out beautiful. This is a great project for all ages. I may have had more fun than the kids creating the samples!

Sahir Gill's goal late in the second period stood as the winner as the Vernon Vipers doubled the host Powell River Kings 4-2 in Game 4 of the B.C. Hockey League Fred Page Cup Tuesday night at Hap Parker Arena.
After subpar performances in Games 2 and 3, the Vipers regrouped to even the series at two apiece. Game 5 of the best-of-seven goes Thursday night at Wesbild Centre, with Game 6 heading back to the Sunshine Coast on Saturday night. If necessary, Game 7 would go Monday at Wesbild.
The Vipers' Cory Kane, with his second goal of the playoffs, opened the scoring at 5:33 of the first period, assisted by Robbie Short and Dan Nycholat.
The Kings, who went 2-for-6 on the powerplay, replied early in the second period when Daniel Carr scored on the man advantage, assisted by Justin Dasilva and Matt Garbowsky. But the Vipers needed just 21 seconds to restore the lead as Connor Jones (first star) netted his team-leading eighth goal at 3:56. Assists went to Gill (third star) and Kellen Jones.
Connor and defenceman Adam Thompson earned assists on Gill's winner to give Vernon a two-goal cushion heading into the third period.
Chad Niddery (second star) tried to stage a late Powell River comeback by firing a backhander shortside on netminder Graeme Gordon on the powerplay at 14:23, however the Kings were unable to generate much as they spent most of the third period in the penalty box.
The Kings got some pressure in the final minute, but Viper captain Kevin Kraus hit the pressure relief valve by launching a 170-footer to score on the empty net, collecting his first goal of the playoffs.
Gordon posted 20 saves for the win, while Josh Watson recorded 23 saves for the Kings.
The Vipers powerplay is limping along at 2-for-15 (13.33 per cent) in this series, while the Kings are clicking at 6-for-19 (31.58 per cent).

Many of the history series this season focus on successes and failures during wars and protests and in science labs and other unexpected places. Several sets parlay high-interest topics into thoughtful meditations on cause and effect, change, and influence. From engineering feats to plane crashes and Brexit, the following selections represent a range of time periods, attitudes, and movements. In addition, famous people in various fields are not forgotten. Most of these books will be of use to report writers, and some will be eagerly enjoyed by casual browsers, too.

Gr 3-6 –Spanning several periods of U.S. history, these six volumes recount topical events, albeit in a flawed manner. Throughout, the content is often vague and inaccurate, leading to unnecessary confusion. For example, in Westward Expansion, little distinction is made between indigenous Mexicans and Spanish colonizers: "A number of people from Mexico settled in the Southwest during the 1600s." The passive voice is used throughout Civil Rights Movement ("They believed black people were inferior") and mentions local businesses often (on the 1963 Children's Crusade: "Businesses in the area suffered"). The featured images in each title are in line with those in existing books on these topics. VERDICT Most collections will want to skip.

Gr 3-5 –This succinct but comprehensive series introduces the histories of groundbreaking inventions. In Airplane, readers learn the history of flight from Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine to modern jets; Computer traces the evolution of the machine from its humble beginnings as an abacus to modern laptops. In each volume, technical information is provided, which will greatly enhance readers' understanding of the magnitude of the achievements. The images, a mix of photos and diagrams, are of good quality and often demonstrate the concepts explained in the text, rather than merely depicting them. VERDICT History meets STEM in these thorough volumes. A fine addition to most collections.

Gr 1-4 –The authors recount the tragic circumstances of a number of devastating events in simple, straightforward language. Readers learn how the cold weather affected the rockets on the Challenger and that laws requiring more lifeboats were made after the Titanic sank. The books are easy to read, if not overly engaging. The images are a mix of stock and archival photographs, with most about a page in size. VERDICT Suitable introductions for young readers. Purchase as needed.

Gr 2-4 –Young Titanic fans will reach for these six volumes that cover almost every facet of the ship and its sinking. In Last Hours, for example, several diagrams and cutaways illuminate the various inner workings and levels of the boat and how exactly the iceberg damaged the vessel. Kids will learn of the ship's construction, the passengers (many of whom were rich and famous), the fatal collision, and even related ghosts and mysterious hauntings. In all of the books, the language is clear, and there are ample brightly colored drawings and photographs to complement the text. VERDICT A well-crafted presentation of a timeless topic. Expect a high demand from Titanic aficionados.

PreS-Gr 2 –These attractive volumes introduce young readers to historical sites across the United States. Using simple, easy-to-read text, the authors present modern engineering feats, like the Hoover Dam and the Statue of Liberty, piece by piece. All of the titles follow a similar format: readers are given multiple photographic and narrative clues ("I am painted orange," "My base is stone and concrete") before the big reveal. The images are saturated with color, and the hints provided are solid. VERDICT A lively, interactive way to get youngsters interested in history and geography.

Gr 3-6 –Elementary school readers are introduced to the biggest disasters in engineering, battles, plane crashes, and shipwrecks. Both famous and lesser-known happenings are presented. Engineering includes the events of the R101 airship and the Johnstown flood, among others. Readers of Military Battles learn of Gettysburg and Genghis Khan's Battle of Badger Mouth. Examples from Plane Crashes are Saudi Flight 163 and September 11. Quick facts, such as dates and the loss of life, are listed, and colorful images reenforce the slight narratives. VERDICT While the information presented is minimal, there is enough to whet the appetite of fans of disaster stories and other high-octane tales.

Gr 8 Up –Teens researching contemporary topics will find a lot of useful information in these volumes. Covering both evergreen topics and more recent events (Brexit), the authors have compiled a number of essays that tackle multiple, nuanced viewpoints related to the titular topic. For example, the "Historical Background" chapter in The Armenian Genocide features pieces on the history of the Armenian people, the Adana Massacres, and more. The text in AIDS and Other Killer Viruses and Other Pandemics is rather technical and will likely resonate more with students who have a strong science background. In all of the titles, the chapters are richly written and will challenge even sophisticated readers. VERDICT Debaters and deep thinkers will benefit most from this series.

Gr 7-10 –These four volumes explore the histories of the respective ships in varying levels of detail. Mayflower recounts the building and history of the vessel before, during, and after the Pilgrims employed it; Titanic focuses mostly on the construction phase, with only a minimal nod to the sinking; Arizona provides information on its building and the aftermath of Pearl Harbor; and Wilhelm Gustloff shines as a well-rounded account that covers a number of different perspectives, including the terror caused by the Russian troop advancement into East Prussia, the atmosphere onboard the doomed ship, the submarine that sank it, and more. VERDICT A suitable addition to STEM and history collections, with Wilhelm Gustloff the most readable of the bunch.

Gr 8 Up –Four books cover violent episodes in U.S. history, from the early conflicts between Europeans and Native Americans to the current war on terror. Topics include events related to chattel slavery, subjugation of American Indians, wars, protests, revolts, assassinations, and mass shootings. Hardly a bloody episode is omitted, and in that respect, the volumes live up to their titles. However, no subject is explored in great depth, and most are referenced with only the briefest expository descriptions. The featured photographs and archival images are well reproduced but are similar to ones found in existing volumes. VERDICT Despite the comprehensive scope, browsers attracted by the intriguing titles will be disappointed with these mundane reads.

Gr 4-7 –A perennial favorite time period among students receives a fresh treatment. Each volume provides facts about the events, along with the personal recollections of a number of people involved. For instance, an opening publisher's note in Navajo Code Talkers explains that when historical and personal accounts don't align, the author has chosen to "use the facts as explained by the code talkers themselves, considering their words to be primary sources"—a smart decision. Throughout the series, the text is very readable, and the images are mostly contemporaneous black-and-white photographs that complement the narratives. VERDICT An above average series for report needs.

Gr 5-8 –Employing stereotypical cartoon drawings and maps, this series relates the history of the world chronologically through a Western lens. The books are littered with inaccuracies and perpetuates racist viewpoints: "Although we humans began in Africa, much of Africa stayed prehistoric," "the real beginning of Brazil" (referencing the 1693 gold rush), or that the land in what is currently Australia "could not be farmed until 250 years ago, when Europeans arrived with crops and domestic animals." Throughout, people of color are regularly depicted with weapons and in loin cloths, and the tone is flippant and lacks cultural sensitivity. VERDICT Librarians would do better to look elsewhere.

Gr 4-7 –These titles highlight the most influential athletes, books, inventions, movies, musicians, photographs, scientific observations, and speeches. Readers learn how Muhammad Ali influenced contemporary sports, how Darwin's discoveries changed scientific thought, and more. While there will always be room for debate when creating top 10–esque lists, the authors have selected universally popular subjects and managed to make solid cases for their influence. However, the brevity of the format means nothing more is presented than a quick introduction. Some conflicts are addressed, but most are glossed over (Elvis's appropriation of blues and gospel music is "controversial" for "some"). VERDICT Good for browsing or as a starting point for report writers.

Gr 9 Up –This in-depth series explores major battles from ancient history through the mid-1800s. Age of Revolution includes the battles of Yorktown and Waterloo; Ancient World focuses primarily on Mediterranean conflicts, such as Megiddo and Marathon; in Early Modern Period, readers learn of the battles of Kawanakajima and the Battle of Minden; and Medieval Period highlights the Battle of Hastings and the Crusades. Each military engagement is covered in one- or two-page spreads that contain key facts, such as opponents and outcomes. Maps that mark troop movements also appear in each volume. The expository writing style and the strict focus on facts make these dense reads. Students will need some prior knowledge, particularly in regard to weapons and terms like arquebus and "caracole formation." VERDICT Consider for military history enthusiasts or specific report needs.
Seafarers will be pleased with Bearport's "Titanica" and ABDO's "Famous Ships," specifically Wilhelm Gustloff. Young readers will enjoy the pictures and easy reading in Bearport's "American Place Puzzlers." Older readers will appreciate Lerner's "Heroes of World War II," and debaters will find much to help them in Greenhaven's "Viewpoints on Modern World History." Consider the other series to fill gaps where needed.
So are we.

Are you good with people's names? I am just shit. You'd think that being a teacher for all those years, and being presented every year with 200 new faces, that I would have found a fool-proof way of remembering 'em all, but sadly that just wasn't the case.
There are all sorts of tricks, like noticing something about the new face and connecting it to the name, like maybe Peter with the pointy nose, or Georgina with the ginger hair. I'll admit that from time to time the links were not all that complimentary but happily I didn't say it out loud and often the mean things were the most effective. If I didn't learn 'em in the first couple of weeks, well I just didn't ever learn 'em and so there were a lot of loves, honeys, sweethearts, and under the breath turdies from time to time.
If I am lucky when, by çdstealth or blind luck, I find out a name that I should already know, I am on my own, I can walk away like some crazy person repeating the name and making up some silly rhyme. This happened this week but I can't describe the circumstances cos then the person would know that even after 5 years I didn't know their name. But the cue for me is now something to do with Christmas and pressies so perhaps I will remember it now?
I think that I don't pay attention to names cos I am more interested in what people are saying and I have a good memory for faces and information, so I might say, ' Oh, over there that's um...oh, that the girl who thinks it's ok to leave her dog's shit for me to stand in cos it's good for the grass.' Yeh there are people like this and they are happy to say it out loud, so that's more memorable than a name. And then there's the bloke, ummm, nope the name's gone, but that's him, yeh he's the one who has really bad breath and unfortunately insists on giving a little cheek peck hello - back away now.
It'd be more complimentary to be remembered for something you've said or done rather than just for your name - just saying.

"Did you know that Bach wrote 255 cantatas? Two hundred fifty-five! Not to mention all his masses, sonatas, concertos, preludes, and fugues. Bach was a working stiff, churning out music for the church as fast as a composition every week. Some of it does not survive and most pieces are never performed. Today, we hear only his works of genius, of which we have so many because he wrote a little something every week." — Elise Hancock, Ideas Into Words (via austinkleon) ♥

Can't wait to see Sarah Palin's MOA tweets
You betcha! Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Wasilla, Alaska's, most famous media figure and vice presidential candidate, will soon be following in the footsteps of Hulk Hogan, Valerie Bertinelli and Santa Claus when she appears at the Mall of America on Dec. 7 to sign copies of her new memoir, "Going Rogue."
For those of you not planning (unwilling?) to attend the sure-too-be-mobbed affair in the giant mall's Rotunda, hosted by Barnes and Noble, we have news: Palin has fired up a new Twitter account and is said to be ready to post a stream of 140-character updates as she bolsters her frequent flyer miles account jetting around the country while on book tour.
She's got 13,000 followers. She's on 593 lists. And as of this morning, there are precisely 0, zip, nada, no tweets for them to feast on. That said, she's been updating her Facebook page (973,752 supporters) like a fiend. Sample:
"We're in the process of arranging interviews with local and national media. An interview with Oprah Winfrey is already scheduled, and I'm also hoping to have the opportunity to talk with Bill O'Reilly, Barbara Walters, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Tammy Bruce, and others, including local Alaska personalities Bob & Mark and Eddie Burke. (Variety is the spice of life!)"
O'Reilly, Hannity, Van Susteren, Beck, Limbaugh, Levin, Ingraham, Miller, Bruce. There's some variety for ya, wink wink.
Oh, Levi's been busy, too: The father of Bristol Palin's son will be making an appearance of a different sort of his own -- in Playgirl. In fact, Levi's going to be stripping for the skin mag's cameras on Nov. 16. That's the same day Palin's book is set to be released.
Now that's going rogue.

presently has three levels of functional academic and life skills programming that include a unit for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Programming is based on guidelines provided by the Ministry of Education.
Guidelines provide for flexibility to account for the special needs of the students and differentiated instruction.
Smaller class sizes and a specially trained staff, enable each student to learn at his/her own rate and to his/her full potential.
Supported Learning I
This class allows for the student to learn the independence necessary for him/her to proceed.
The student is encouraged to look after his/her own needs and develop physical skills necessary for academic work.
The basic life skills program enables the child to develop pride and self-esteem in caring for him/herself.
An adaptive physical education program enables the student to develop the co-ordination and gross motor skills necessary for a future academic program, as well as good general health.
Social activities are interspersed during the day to allow for both socialization and opportunity for age appropriate play.
Studies involve experiences for the student in his/her environment and provide opportunities for the rudiments of basic functional academic life.
Support Services for speech, health, behaviour and social activities are available to extend beyond the school day.
Supported Leaning 2
Autism Spectrum Disorder
The Supported Learning Class 2 increases the amount of time and direction placed on the academic program.
It is here that the student learns the survival life skills necessary to gain independence to cope in the community.
Through direct instruction and experimentation the child learns to cope beyond home and school.
Areas such as functional mathematics deal with real skills, money, time, measurement and their practical applications.
Parents are encouraged at this stage to assist their child to be active in their community.
Adaptive physical education programs are frequently interspersed with game skills.
Life skills programming is extended to assist the students' further independence in cooking and caring for the things around him/her.
Communication skills become more refined as they extend further into their environment.
Supported Learning 3
Pre Vocational
In this classroom, the staff focuses on individual strengths necessary for developing skills in the functional academic areas as well as pre vocational training and opportunities to work at local job placements.
A greater emphasis is now placed on life skills as in banking, weekly budgeting, shopping, menu planning and cooking a complete meal each week for the entire class.
Social activities are encouraged throughout the week including role playing the general social skills commonly required in an adult situation primarily focusing on greetings, introductions, conversations on current events within the community at large.
How Important is Communication?
The necessity to help children adapt has lead into several areas of communication.
Some students with severe communication challenges use a system of symbols called Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS).
PEC's is a researched based strategy.
These accommodations helped students to be able to communicate their feelings, needs and wants.
At Rockhaven, the Communication programming has touch screen computers, IPADS, Smartboards and other technology, for those who have challenges with their fine motor skills, in operating a mouse.
There are also other computer programs that are designed specifically for exceptional students to transition them smoothly throughout their day.
The primary purpose of student assessment is to improve learning.
Assessment has the greatest potential to improve learning when it is an integral part of classroom activities.
Teachers assess student progress towards achieving the expectations on an ongoing basis by using strategies such as projects, class presentations, assignments, classroom observations portfolios of student work and
– The Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills
Schools use assessment information and information from other sources to make informed decisions for school improvement planning.
Schools identify areas of strength as well as areas that require improvement.
Input is obtained from a variety of sources such as student assessments, teacher feedback and parent feedback.
In this way, schools monitor, celebrate and improve their efforts in providing a
supportive and challenging learning environment for all their students.

Chromebook is aimed at a specific audience. Putting it there is unfair. For it's audience, I'd give it a 8.2/10 since sometimes videos don't run simultaneously when you open another tab >,> and the web browser sometimes acts like a phone.

December 8th, 2018
Here is an interesting quote: 'The ruler is divine by nature. His power extends to men, to animals, to the earth and to the sea. Nature belongs to him; wind and waves are subject to him. He works miracles and heals men. He is the saviour of the world who also redeems individuals from their difficulties (TDNT, volume 2, page 724).'
It sounds like the writer is describing God; it sounds particularly like he is describing Jesus. But this is a description of the Roman emperor. Now that is a scary thought. (And the thing even more scary is that, with the electronic games these days, people can imitate this kind of power.)
When a new emperor would go to the throne, that would be considered a new era and a time of peace to the world, and, strangely enough, that would be called a gospel, good news (TDNT, p. 725).
There are some striking similarities between the gods of this world and the one true God. They each have their own good news, and some of them are currently using the same word.
Who had it first? The word for a good news message started way back in the Old Testament, and its first appearance is in the book of Samuel, right before the time of David. That is way before the Roman Empire, but not before sin.
In the Gospel according to Luke, the word gospel—but only in its verb form (to 'evangelize')—appears many times in that account (which is described in many manuscripts as 'according to Luke'—to avoid using that misused term). To look at all those occurrences and their contexts, see Luke 1:19, 2:10, 3:18, 4:18, 7:22, 8:1, 9:6, 16:16, and 20:1. There are also fifteen occurrences of this word form in Acts, but the first occurrence of the word in noun form in the WHOLE of Luke-Acts is in Acts 15:7.
The Gospel text for this Sunday may contain the first twenty verses of the chapter and not just the first fourteen [Luke 3:1-14]. And in verse 18 of that section, the verb form of the word appears: 'So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.'
Some people have looked at that verse and what John the Baptist had said previously to some of the people: 'You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits in keeping with repentance (3:7f).' Some people have thought, and rightly so, that John's message does not sound like good news. But it was a new era. It was still an important message.
Any important message from an important person is a good one; it is also a helpful one.
The message of the Law is a good example. It is helpful to give up on trying to be good. Dr. Martin Luther found that to be true. The message of the Gospel is an even better example. It is extremely helpful to know what God has done for us—instead of what we can do for him.
This week at church is the second part of our four-week series on the Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther. We will be looking at the Creed, and the good news comes to us in three different themes.

When It's Over

The Golden Windows
An exciting opportunity presented itself to me in the form of a commission for a new composition. This commission is particularly exciting because it comes from Dr. Philip Baldwin at alma mater, Whitworth University. Dr. Baldwin asked for a piece that features a narrator telling a children's story, while being accompanied by orchestral music. Laura E. Richards' The Golden Windows is the story we chose. It's an excellent story that is nearly begging to be told with musical accompaniment. Once the composition is finished and the performance is complete, I will post a recording of it right here. This is becoming a very exciting project!

Soho Christmas Trees
Christmas Tree Brooklyn is coming to Soho in Manhattan!
Right now, street prices in the area start as high as $25 per foot–and depending on the time of day, or who's working, you might get charged as much as $70 per foot!
We don't think that's right.
That's why we're offering better trees, for less, AND giving away delivery at no extra cost!
Our trees start at just $12 per foot. For a 6 foot tree, that's only $72. And our quality is guaranteed. If you don't like anything about your tree, just let us know within 24 hours and we'll replace it for free.
Whether you buy your tree from one of our stands around NYC, or online on our website, you'll always get the same affordable price and free delivery service.
We took a walk through one of the Christmas tree stands in the area to get the lowdown on what they're offering. The trees, wreaths and decorations actually looked really nice–the only thing that didn't make sense to us was the shocking sticker price.
We heard the sales guy talking to a customer as we walked through–a 6-foot Fraser the customer was looking was going to run them $185. That's $30 per foot! We have the same tree for just $72.
Some really cool decorations at their merch tent. Some of the Canadian vendors on the street actually make these wood snowmen and reindeer by hand! I think these are the prefabricated kind, though. Still really festive, and fun, though.
More fun decorations. Decorative plastic, and glass ornaments, among others.
The sales guy chatting with some customers. Looks like a very clean, well-organized tree stand! We were very impressed. The only thing that needs improvement is the price.

Topic Page: Arabic language
Major Semitic language of the Hamito-Semitic family of West Asia and North Africa, originating among the Arabs of the Arabian peninsula. It is spoken today by about 120 million people in the Middle East and North Africa. Arabic script is written from right to left.
The language has spread by way of conquest and trade as far west as Morocco and as far east as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and is also spoken in Arab communities scattered across the Western hemisphere. Forms of colloquial Arabic vary in the countries where it is the dominant language: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Arabic is also a language of religious and cultural significance in such other countries as Bangladesh, India, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and Somalia. Arabic-speaking communities are growing in the USA and the West Indies.
Consonantal roots A feature of the language is its consonantal roots. The vast majority of Arabic words consist of three consonants containing a root idea. By adding various vowels and affixes, associated meanings can be derived. For example, s–l–m is the root for salaam, a greeting that implies peace; Islam, the creed of submission to God and calm acceptance of his will; and Muslim, one who submits to that will (a believer in Islam). The Koran, the sacred book of Islam, is 'for reading' by a qari ('reader') who is engaged in qaraat ('reading'). The 7th-century style of the Koran is the basis of classical Arabic (al-lughatu al-fusha).
Further linguistic features Classical or formal Arabic is characterized by the retention of many unique Semitic phonemes, for example, the pharyngeal consonants, 'ain, ha, and qaf, 'strangled' versions of h and k; and the 'emphatic' consonants, d, t, s, z, characterized by a lateral or 'l-coloured' pronunciation and by their marked effect on neighbouring vowels. No spoken Arabic dialect, however, contains all the sounds of classical Arabic, and pronunciation of this literary language may often be coloured by the speaker's local dialect.
The various persons and numbers of the verb are derived from the roots, for example, kataba 'he wrote', aktubu 'I was/am writing', yaktubuna 'they were/are writing'. There are no true tenses in Arabic, distinction in the verb being made only between completed or uncompleted actions, regardless of time, although particles and auxiliaries do provide a system of tenses similar to those in Western languages. The noun in Arabic is disconcertingly irregular, no hard and fast rule being available for predicting the plural of a singular noun. Thus aqdam is the plural of qadam ('foot'), 'uhud the plural of 'ahd ('contract'), and asatidha the plural of ustadh ('professor'). Such plurals, in reality collective nouns, have the further peculiarity of being grammatically feminine singular.
Arabic is written in an alphabet probably invented in 5th-century Arabia, and short vowels are usually omitted except in children's books and the sacred text of the Koran. This adds greatly to the difficulty of reading, as do the case endings of nouns which, while (ideally) pronounced when reading aloud, are not written and must be guessed from context according to rules learnt by heart. This also applies to Arabs since cases are no longer pronounced in the spoken language.
Spoken forms and classical Arabic The actual spoken forms of Arabic differ widely; an illiterate Moroccan would not understand the conversation of an Egyptian, Iraqi, or Saudi Arabian, and uneducated members of the latter three countries would have difficulty in following one another. However, the linguistic unity of the Arab world is preserved (or its disunity concealed) by the use in broadcasting, journalism, films, printing, and education of classical Arabic. This scholars' language is, with rare exceptions, the only one used in writing and broadcasting; a phenomenon which, while preserving the forms of Arab unity, greatly hinders literacy campaigns, since it is barely intelligible to the uneducated.
Few Arabs would spontaneously speak the classical language in informal or intimate circumstances, although there is every possibility that a standard form of spoken Arabic is gradually emerging (at least throughout the Middle East), largely as a result of improved intercommunication within the Arab world and gradually increasing literacy rates in the individual countries.
Words borrowed from Arabic Arabic words borrowed into English usually relate to Islamic and Arab society and culture. Contact between the two languages dates from the Crusades (11th–13th centuries). At that time, for example, the founder of the assassin sect would tempt potential members with pleasures heightened by the use of hashish, experiences (seen as a foretaste of heaven) that took away their fear of death.

In an effort to deal with plastic waste, Pick n Pay has launched a 'nude wall' with a wide range of package-free fruit and vegetables in 13 stores across South Africa.
RELATED: Pick n Pay dedicates shop space to local small suppliers
To discuss this new launch, Bongani Bingwa chats to the company's marketing retail executive John Bradshaw who says this is the direction in which the world is moving.
Customers have asked for more options so that they can use less plastic, he says.
So we wanted to get this going, we are putting in 12 products which would normally have packaging on it, packaging performs a function, but we think through managing the supply chain can have the products ready fresh. And we are hoping that the customers will respond to that.— John Bradshaw, Marketing retail executive - Pick n Pay
He adds that Pick n Pay will launch this initiative on products like mushrooms, chillies, cocktail tomatoes, sweet corn and baby brinjals.
It will be available to all these kind of things that you might normally catch in little packaging and is available loose on the shelves. The is a free brown bag that you can use in store so that you don't have to use plastic bags.— John Bradshaw, Marketing retail executive - Pick n Pay

Treating Arthritis: More Ways to a Drug-free Life
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Margaret Hills
Narrated By: Brogan West
Publisher: Matrix Digital Publishing
Date: December 2009
Duration: 2 hours 39 minutes
Doctors and consultants may be very surprised when they see patients suffering intractable arthritis suddenly beginning to get better. The medical profession knows all too well that anti-arthritic medication does not have this effect. As the days go by, the improvement often continues so that drugs can be dispensed with, and people lead a normal life. Best-selling author of several books about arthritis, Margaret Hills here tells the amazing stories of people who have benefited from her honey and cider vinegar cure. Advice about diet and stress is also included, so that readers have very real and practical tools to help them treat their arthritis. Crippled herself with arthritis, Margaret Hills used her nurse's training and determination to win back her health. Since then her 'acid-free' approach has brought relief to thousands. Her daughter, Christine Horner, who now runs the Margaret Hills Clinic, continues her work. Topics include:
* Arthritis in children
* Arthritis in adults
* A selection of case histories
* The stress factor: how it affects the body and contributes to arthritis, and how it can be alleviated.

Kirby Allison, founder of The Hanger Project, teaches you about the importance of quality dress socks in a man's wardrobe. Great socks should all but disappear on your feet. Thin, almost sheer, they allow your foot to slip easily into your shoe without disrupting the fit or ever making your foot clammy. This is why all of our luxury Italian socks are knitted on 240 and 260-needle machines from the finest fibers. During the knitting process, the higher number of needles allows our socks to be knitted with finer-gauge threads for a thinner, finer sock. The difference is both immediate and lasting once the sock is slipped on. Equally important, also, is that our socks are available in up to SEVEN SIZES to allow for the perfect fit without bunching, which further enhances comfort. Our broad palette of colors and patterns allow you to accessorize your socks like you do your ties. These socks are so incredibly comfortable you will never go back to store-bought varieties.
Sovereign Grade Fancy Dot Wool Dress Sock
Kirby Allison Sovereign Grade Fancy Dot Dress Sock is kit using 80% Australian wool and 20% nylon. These fancy patterns offer color while maintaining subtlety.
- 80% Australian Merino wool and 20% Nylon.
- Knit using 200-needle machines, yielding a slightly heavier body.
- Available in four sizes.
- Knit in Rome, Italy.

In this chapter, we looked at three different methods for recording audio on Android. Each of them comes with their own plusses and minuses. Using the built-in sound recorder is great for no-fuss audio recordings, where little or no programmatic control is needed. Using the MediaRecorder allows us to take it a step further, allowing control over the length of time media is recorded and other aspects but leaving the interface up to us. Last we investigated the ability to record raw samples with AudioRecord. Using this we have the most control and flexibility but have to do the most work in order to capture and work with the audio.
In the next chapter, we'll look more at audio possibilities, investigating audio processing and synthesis.

Jean Rondeau plays Bach
Jean Rondeau plays Bach
Described by the Washington Post as 'one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage these days', Rondeau has mastered a combination of Baroque discipline and jazz-influenced liberation that makes for enthralling performances that stop you in your tracks.
Rondeau has said that Bach's music 'is so full of humility, so generous, that we have the right and the duty to play it, to share it, and to take the hand that he extends to us.' With his fleet fingers and natural abilities as a communicator, he brings a spirit and relaxed eloquence to his performances that put you in touch with the inherent beauty of Bach's music.

By the end of the alarming and alarmist "Death by China" you may be asking why candidates for public office in this election year are talking about anything other than how to stop the Chinese from wrecking our economy.
The film, based on a book by Peter Navarro and Greg Autry and directed by Mr. Navarro, is blunt as can be in working the premise that the admission of China to the World Trade Organization in 2001 has been catastrophic for the American economy. The influx of Chinese goods has left American manufacturers unable to compete, the film says, and Chinese leaders have been brashly ignoring rules about things like currency manipulation to make sure that their country's products remain artificially cheap.
"American companies cannot compete because they're not competing with Chinese companies, they're competing with the Chinese government," Daniel M. Slane of the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission says.
The film undercuts its argument with an abundance of inflammatory language and cheesy graphics — lots of animated planes dropping bombs as a metaphor for the destruction of American jobs and such. It is also unabashedly one-sided and is short on solutions, other than the usual "Call your Congressional representatives." But its message, despite the hyperbole, certainly warrants examination and discussion.Continue reading the main story

The Flintstones is an animated, prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960 to April 1, 1966 on ABC. The show was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The Flintstones was about a working-class Stone Age man's life with his family and his next-door neighbor and best friend.
The show's continuing popularity rested heavily on its juxtaposition of modern everyday concerns in the Stone Age setting.
The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville".) In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co-exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century peers, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of various animals. For example, the cars are made out of stone, wood, and animal skins, and powered by the passengers' feet (as in the theme song, "Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet").
The original pilot episode clip was called the "Flagstones" (which first appeared in 1959 as a 90-second promotion to draw advertisers to the show) and was later reincorporated into the show's first episode (third episode in original air date order). The show's name was changed to "The Flintstones" shortly thereafter.
The Rutles (also known as the Prefab Four) are a band that are known for their visual and aural pastiches and parodies of The Beatles. Originally created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes as a fictional band to be featured as part of various 1970s television programming, the group (remaining a parody of The Beatles) recorded, toured, and released two UK chart hits in reality.
Initially created for a short sketch in Idle's UK television comedy series Rutland Weekend Television, the Rutles gained international fame after being the focus of the 1978 mockumentary television film, All You Need Is Cash (often referred to as just The Rutles). Having been encouraged by the reaction to the sketch, featuring Beatles' music pastiches by Neil Innes, the film was written by Idle, who co-directed it with Gary Weis. It featured 20 songs written by Innes, which he performed with three musicians as "The Rutles". A successful soundtrack album in 1978 was, much later, followed in 1996 by Archaeology, which spoofed the Beatles' Anthology series which had recently been released. The Rutles pre-date the American parody Spinal Tap by about a year.
A second film, The Rutles 2: Can't Buy Me Lunch — modelled on the 2000 TV special The Beatles Revolution — was made in 2002 and released in the US on DVD in 2003, but it did not prove as popular as the original film.
