Each summer, for 99 years, God has authored stories of Kingdom impact at Camp Siloam. In many areas, summer 2022 was a banner year for Camp Siloam. The Great Commission was an emphasis and as a result, we saw 148 people express an interest in exploring missions or full-time ministry. Twelve Camp Siloam summer staff members surrendered to that call.
Attendance for all this summer's camp programs was 5,795 campers. Many of the 228 churches represented were new to Camp Siloam in 2022.
This summer, Camp Siloam emphasized God's mission for the world, using the conversion of Paul to share what it means for campers to answer God's call to take the Good News to the nations. Through the theatrical production of "Steampunk'd," Camp Siloam drew metaphors out of the biblical story of Paul and put them into a whimsical science-fiction steampunk setting. Each morning Baptist Collegiate Ministry Directors from around the state taught the story of Paul and expressed God's call to us all to be on mission for Him. Each evening camp pastors gave a theme interpretation on being called to go to the nations.
As of this report, we have seen 574 campers make professions of faith. This is the highest total of salvations in the last 12 years. Praise God! We also saw 156 campers make recommitments, 116 report an interest in baptism, and 148 interested in exploring a call to missions or full-time ministry.
Here are some of the Kingdom impact stories of summer 2022. (The names of minors have been changed to protect their identity.)
Lillian Wilkie, daughter of Director Jason Wilkie, and a staff lifeguard was in the worship service one evening when Camp Pastor, Ronnie Hill, was bringing the altar call for people who felt called to missions or full-time ministry. Wilkie was hesitant. She found herself wanting to move toward the altar, but not able to find the courage. She was crying quietly to herself when, from behind her, she felt a hand on her shoulder from co-staffer Kayden Summers, from the University of Central Arkansas. He said, "You got this." His simple words were the nudge she needed to go forward. Wilkie ended up formally surrendering to explore God's call on her life for missions and she is planning to take her first mission trip during spring break in 2023.
Matt Stubbs, summer staff member from the University of Central Arkansas met a camper named Oscar, while running the "soctoball" tournament. Asking Oscar some questions, Stubbs was able to determine the boy wasn't saved. Stubbs used the tournament whiteboard to show Oscar the Gospel using the Three Circles method. Oscar responded by stating he felt he had done enough good to go to Heaven. Stubbs replied, "Salvation is not based upon good works." Oscar needed some time to think about it, so Stubbs said, "I'll be near the front at the end of each worship service. See me if you have other questions." Oscar didn't need much more time. Five minutes later, Oscar came back to Stubbs and said, "I don't think I'm a Christian. I think I need Jesus." Stubbs, who had responsibilities running the tournament, found someone to help and took Oscar to a quiet place where he could pray with him. Oscar came to Jesus in the shade near the recreation fields at Camp Siloam because Stubbs saw what was most important in that moment.
Jason Whitmire, from First Baptist Church (FBC) in Augusta, had several families who needed scholarships for campers. Whitmire went back and forth in his mind on what to apply for. He did not want to take advantage of the system, but he had some families who had significant need. In the end he applied for the amount of one full scholarship and planned to distribute that among the families. After sending in the application he talked with Cathy Flack, Camp Siloam's scholarships coordinator. Flack listened to the needs of the church and told Whitmire she would email the following week after the scholarship committee had met. Whitmire described being overwhelmed with emotion when he opened the email and saw that Camp Siloam awarded FBC Augusta five times the amount Whitmire requested because of the need he expressed to Flack. We are thankful for all of our donors who contributed to making scholarships for campers possible at Camp Siloam
Johnna Jones wins the "toughest counselor of the year" award. On Tuesday night of her week of camp she had a gall bladder attack. She was taken to the local hospital emergency room and surgeons removed her gall bladder that night laparoscopically. Jones said, "My torso looks as if I've been shot by buckshot." She was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday and returned to camp for the rest of the week, sleeping on a bunkbed and participating as she could in camp activities.
This summer felt like a pre-pandemic summer at Camp Siloam. Attendance was even with our 2019 attendance. We hope we can continue to grow from here. We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father who has been faithful to continue Jesus' ministry at Camp Siloam.

Each September, National Preparedness Month encourages and reminds Americans to be prepared for disasters and emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities. The theme for 2022 is "A Lasting Legacy: Prepare for disasters to create lasting legacy for you and your family."
There are standard supplies that must go into every emergency supply kit, but there are also supplies that are unique to your family and the disaster you're facing.
Be sure to have enough of these supplies for 72 hours for each person in your home:
If it's summertime, make sure you have items that will keep you cool. A winter supply kit should include ice scrapers and handwarmers.
Your emergency kit is unique to you, so think ahead. Always plan for enough supplies to last 72 hours. This includes medication, durable medical equipment like oxygen tanks, foods that meet your dietary restrictions and so on.
Think about items you'd need for pets and children, too. Then have those items stocked and ready at all times.

It seems time to scale down the Covid-19 Diaries series. Bill Taylor will continue to post daily thoughts from Canada at Facebook, which is where this all began. I may, every few days, reproduce them here as I have been, until now without fail. I will discourage other contributors from devoting to their own lockdown notebooks though any disinclined to heed my advice will see their work posted as and when I get the chance.
My thanks to Bill and all others who have made this an uplifting and at times even useful exercise. See all their efforts at this link. All good things come to an end and it is time to acknowledge that series, or at least the relentless daily posting, has run its course ...
Magisterial notes from the trenches:
We never used to hold these truths to be self-evident but I think we're beginning to…
All men, all people that is, ARE created equal.
We may not, alas, all live equal lives – some human animals, to misquote Orwell, will always be "more equal than others". A deplorable fact of our existence.
But bring it down to the bare bones and we're all in the same leaky boat. Human frailty becomes the great equaliser.
When we're not afraid, we look at our ideological enemies in the government capitals of the globe and talk airily of anarchy, of revolt, of overthrowing the system. Everything from simple civil disobedience to outright mobocracy.
The oligarchs want the peasantry suppressed and the peasants want the oligarchs hanging by their feet from light poles. At least until some cash falls from their pockets.
When we are afraid, especially when we're being picked off by an enemy sniping from cover, we huddle together. Metaphorically. In effect, with pretty much the whole damned planet on lockdown, what we're doing right now is huddling apart. But huddling, nonetheless.
We're in this together and we know it. Hard to hate someone who's just as scared as you are.
There I go, being naïve again. But I no longer mind mind seeing myself as a wide-eyed innocent abroad in a toxic world.
I can let myself say inane things and ask obtuse question without self-recrimination (who cares what other people think?). Though in weeks or months to come, when we're back to our old, semi-informed selves and baying for blood, political or otherwise, I may cringe at the memory.
Still, memories are made of this. So, unfortunately, are memes…
I've gone right off memes.
Memes are the enemy of independent thought. And we really do need to be thinking for ourselves these days.
We're being taught lessons every day about – among other things – decency and dignity. Being taught is one thing, learning is another. Learning requires thought, not just rote "share it" memorisation. We can only hope our elected representatives, local, provincial and federal, are thinking, too, beyond the end of the crisis.
Because after this health crisis will come a human crisis. And how we and our politicians deal with that, in a new spirit of cooperation or the old knee-jerk party-line antagonism, will define our own long-term humanity.
Enough of this. Give me a hand climbing down off the soapbox, will you? A metaphoric hand. Keep your distance.
In a less pompous world, we're well into the fourth week of extreme restrictions and, by and large, I think we're holding together pretty well. It doesn't feel as much as if we're making it up as we go along.
I wonder how it'll feel when we're well into the eighth week.
My parents used to say that during World War II they got used to the bombers coming over at night.
But at least they could hear them coming.

I went grocery shopping yesterday. I passed by the garden section of the store. I found this adorable garden tote bag.
They also have a back pack for sale. This garden tote bag caught my attention. There is no way it is use for gardening only.
I bought it without a doubt for my little girl. She could bring this on the beach, where she can put her swimsuit, sun block lotion and hair brush. The designs are just beautiful too. There are tulips all around the tote bag. She has now a tote bag where she can put her snacks while inside the airport or inside the airplane.

The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay as a model for the study of angiogenesis
Alternative method, angiogenesis, bibliometric analysis, CAM assay, oncology, tumor vascularization.Abstract
Angiogenesis is a fundamental physiological process with strong implications in tissue homeostasis. Animal models helping to identify how angiogenesis is regulated are fundamental to answer many biological questions. Chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay is one of the most employed methods to study angiogenesis. In this study we applied a scientometric approach to evaluate the employment of CAM assay in published articles. Temporal trends indicated that CAM assay was the preferred method to investigate angiogenesis over time. The publications had a significant number of citations and the impact factor of journals publishing articles is relevant for the scientific community. A total of 52 different research areas have articles published using this particular technique. Oncology is the research field in which CAM assay was mostly used. Accordingly, tumor-derived cell lines were the most frequent sample tested on CAM. We also identified that 73,6% of articles published used only CAM assay to answer questions concerning angiogenesis. We concluded that although the CAM assay is a classical approach, that does not need so much infrastructure and financial support to be performed, it is a well-accepted technique by the scientific community. In addition, this methodology has gain attention in scientific community because no pain is experienced by the chick and they are minor ethical concerns to employ this method. Moreover, this data can help researchers who are unfamiliar with the CAM assay to identify if this particular method is suitable for their research.

I've noticed, that I cant seem to (or very rarely am able to) load my college webmail.
I used to be able to prior to safari 5/10.6.4 - but seem to be having issues now.
Can someone please try loading the page in Safari (on the Mac) and see how long it takes to load?
https://wces01.wgpcollege.school.nz and https://webmail.wgpcollege.school.nz
EDIT: Oh, an can you try clicking the padlock in the top right hand corner and see if that freezes safari?
Then, can you load up https://www.bnz.co.nz, perform the above steps, and tell me if there is any difference.
my guess is that the schools SSL certificate is bust, but I'm trying to confirm before I bug the crap out of them to fix it.
Safari is the only web browser effected - firefox works fine, and IE works fine on Windows.

Utah Inland Port Comments to the Environmental Justice Advisory Council
Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, and the 450 physicians and 3,000 members of the lay public within the organization, congratulates the Biden Administration for giving the issue of environmental justice long overdue attention. But the Administration should not just focus existing on injustice, it should also try to intervene and prevent projects that are destined to become monuments of future environmental injustice.
One such project being designed and given hundreds of millions of dollars of tax payer money by our legislature, is the Salt Lake City inland port. This is a massive transmodal shipping hub and warehouse farm now planned for the Westside of Salt Lake City, in the immediate vicinity of 250,000 people who already suffer the most pollution and environmental toxin exposure of the 2 million people who live in the SL Valley.
They suffer the traffic pollution of our busiest freeways, are immediately downwind of several oil refineries, near an enormous open pit copper mine and smelter, downwind of summer-long aerial spraying of pesticides, numerous industrial smokestacks, are downwind of a major international airport and secondary airport whose planes still use leaded gas. None of this would be tolerated on the East side of Salt Lake City, but because of lack of political clout, the Utah legislature is shoving this down the throats of those who are already the most victimized by our numerous pollution sources.
This transmodal shipping hub would be the epicenter of multiple new sources of pollution–an estimated 70,000 more daily diesel truck trips, diesel powered switcher engines, 150,000 more cars, increased air traffic pollution, more pesticide spraying, and dozens more train locomotives (incidentally one Tier 0 train locomotive can emit pollution equal to that from around ten thousand cars). This project clearly exploits the economic, and racial disadvantages of this community, and Utah politicians remain unflinching in their determination to push it forward.
Other inland ports and warehouse farms, smaller than what is planned in SLC, are now nicknamed "Diesel Death" zones because of the pollution they generate. There is absolutely no reason to think that developing one in Utah will produce a different outcome.
This port is also intended to facilitate more fossil fuel extraction, something squarely contradictory to the Biden Administration's climate goals.
The rationale being offered that the port is needed to produce jobs is a smoke screen. Utah historically has a very tight labor market, the current unemployment rate is 2.4%, and most of the anticipated port employment will be low wage warehouse jobs. The real beneficiaries are well connected developers and powerful international corporations eager to exploit this community for profit.
Using the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, several federal agencies could intervene and prevent this injustice from happening. Dealing with the obvious consequences after the fact will only further victimize this community.
We believe that the EPA can use tools within the Clea Air Act to prevent this project. More specifically, the forces behind building this inland port intend to dilute public opposition, and to evade regulatory review and the protections that might be afforded through the CAA, by building this project piece meal. In other words, it seems that by refusing to present the inland port project in its entirety or estimate its emissions, proponents are keeping the extent and details of their ultimate plans secret and will instead complete the project incrementally such that each of these smaller projects will escape the review, analysis, well-informed decision making and public participation that would otherwise be directed at the whole project.
This is "death by a thousand cuts"
We are particularly concerned that the Inland Port will never be subject to meaningful review based on its impacts on air quality – particularly on ozone and PM2.5 concentrations – and on environmental justice and disproportionately impacted communities.
More specifically, we ask the EPA: will NEPA, general and transportation conformity (required by the Clean Air Act) and 404 (CWA) apply to this project?

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (BP) – Key California Baptist leaders discussed Kingdom initiatives with Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee Interim President and CEO Willie McLaurin March 14 in Riverside, Calif., in advance of the 2022 SBC Annual Meeting.
Gregory Perkins, West Region director of the National African American Fellowship of the SBC, organized the luncheon on behalf of NAAF at California Baptist University (CBU) to allow discussions between McLaurin and state and national leaders based in California.
"I pray that the connections and partnerships between the Southern Baptist Convention EC and the California Southern Baptist state entities, and national partners, will grow deeper," Perkins told Baptist Press, "that we will strengthen these partnerships so that we can reach more people with the Gospel, so that we can plant more churches, so that more churches will be revitalized."
McLaurin welcomed the opportunity.
"Collaborative partnerships and cooperation are strengthened when ministry partners intentionally carve out time to engage with one another. It was my honor to engage with California Baptist leaders as we had the opportunity to pray together," McLaurin told Baptist Press. "Our common bond in advancing the Great Commission at home and around the world is what makes us better together.
"I am incredibly thankful for Pastor Gregory Perkins for coordinating strategic connections that will strengthen our cooperation. I am excited that the larger Southern Baptist family will have the opportunity to see California Baptist on display during the 2022 SBC Annual Meeting in Anaheim."
Greeting McLaurin were Perkins, lead pastor of The View Church in Menifee; Anthony Dockery, CBU Board of Trustees chairman and senior pastor of St. Stephens Baptist Church in La Puente; Baptist Foundation of California (BFC) President Jonathan Jarboe; BFC Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Courtney Coates; North American Mission Board West Region Director Shane Critser; Adam Groza, Gateway Theological Seminary vice president and associate professor of philosophy, representing Gateway President Jeff Iorg; Brian Kennedy, Gateway associate professor of preaching and senior pastor of Mt. Zion Church in Ontario; Pete Ramirez, California Southern Baptist Convention interim executive director; Mike Carlisle, director of missions, San Diego Southern Baptist Association; and A. B. Vines, senior pastor of New Seasons Church in San Diego.
Perkins described the meeting as an opportunity to leaders to hear updates and pearls of wisdom from McLaurin in advance of the SBC Annual Meeting June 12-15 in Anaheim.
"We are excited that we will be able to showcase the rich diversity of California Southern Baptists and we will be able to share our unique ministry environment to our Southern Baptist family," Perkins said. "And we're also excited that if they want to go to the beach, it will be 15 minutes away. If they want to go to Disneyland, it's a five-minute walk. If they want to go to Hollywood, it's a simple 30-minute drive. If they want to go to San Diego, it's just 45 minutes away."
"This is a family affair," he said, "as the Southern Baptist family comes to California and we want to share with them what we experience every day."
Perkins numbered more than 460 predominantly African American Southern Baptist congregations in California among the 4,000 NAAF represents nationally.

The Clarksburg Telegram., March 24, 1905
William W. Boggess died suddenly at his home on Mechanic Street at 6:20 o'clock Sunday evening from inflammation of the stomach.
Mr. Boggess had been ailing a year or more and last Tuesday fell on the street, since which he had been ailing very much, but seemed to be improving and did not take a turn for the worse until a short while before dissolution came.
The funeral will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from his late residence by Revs. H. G. Richardson, S. K. Arbuthnot and the interment will be in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery.
Mr. Boggess was born near Lumberport in 1826 and was a son of George W. Boggess. In early life he engaged in farming and lumbering and was assessor for the lower district of Harrison County for ten years from 1870, at which time he was first elected to that office, and he served as such with eminent proficiency.
The deceased became a citizen of Clarksburg about thirty one years ago and since resided here. His wife was Sarah L. Harbert, daughter of Benjamin W. Harbert. She died about two years ago at an advanced age.
Born to them were four children, Two of whom survive. The surviving children are J. T. Boggess and Mrs. Bell Cromwell, both of this city. The dead are Benjamin and Gertrude Boggess.
The past several years Mr. Boggess conducted a boarding house, which was largely patronized. He was one of the most widely know citizens of the county, having come in contact with a great many people in his business and public life. He was of a genial disposition and easily made and kept friends.
The bereft son and daughter and other relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of Mr. Boggess and hosts of friends will miss him.

Amazon's first cashier-free convenience store was supposed to open to the public early this year, but apparently some big technology issues have the launch on hold.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon's Go store currently only functions if there are fewer than 20 shoppers inside. Any more than that, and Amazon's shopper-tracking technology breaks down, as people become too difficult to follow. Amazon is reportedly having trouble tracking products that are moved from their proper spot on a shelf, too.
Amazon has big hopes for a retail expansion
Amazon had been hoping to open the store by the end of March, according to the Journal. But the launch is now being delayed, and it's unclear when the store might be ready to open. Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is a setback for Amazon as it begins an expansion into retail stores, where it's looking for something beyond a recognizable name to set itself apart. Amazon has already opened five bookstores and has plans for five more, but it's this next generation of cashier-free stores that would really distinguish the company's retail strategy.
Amazon is trying to build stores that would let customers walk in, pick up items, then walk out and have them automatically billed to an Amazon account without any need to wait in line. It's apparently considering an expansion into grocery and warehouse-style stores, too, though it's not clear if these would use the same shopper-tracking setup.

Annotation & Prediction
Ensembl creates automated annotation on a selection of chordate genomes, and also imports non-vertebrate model organisms for comparative purposes.
In addition, a large number of (mainly vertebrate) genomes are available with reduced annotation on our Rapid Release site, whilst our sister project Ensembl Genomes provides databases of bacteria, fungi, plants, metazoa and other non-vertebrates.
Ensembl annotation
Protein-coding genes are automatically annotated using Ensembl's genebuild pipeline. All transcripts are based on mRNA and proteins in public scientific databases.
The Ensembl Variation database stores areas of the genome that differ between individual genomes ("variants") and, where available, associated disease and phenotype information.
Comparative genomics
Ensembl focuses on two main areas of comparative genomics: creation of gene trees using representative proteins from each gene in a species, and alignment of DNA sequences to infer synteny, conservation, etc.
Ensembl Regulation provides resources for studying gene expression and its regulation, with a focus on the computational annotation of non-coding regulatory features in the genome.

More than 10 million people have signed up to Threads, Meta's rival to Twitter, within the first few hours of its launch, the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on the new app.
The app went live on Apple and Android app stores in 100 countries at 2300 GMT on Wednesday, and will run with no ads for now, but its release in Europe has been delayed over data privacy concerns.
Threads is the biggest challenger yet to Elon Musk-owned Twitter, which has seen a series of potential competitors emerge but not yet replace one of the world's biggest social media platforms, despite its struggles.
"10 million sign ups in seven hours," Zuckerberg wrote on his official Threads account.
Accounts were already active for celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira and Hugh Jackman.

How European co-operatives inspired the world
Zuckerberg also offered a shot across the bow at tech rival Musk. In his first tweet in over a decade, Zuckerberg posted a Spiderman pointing at Spiderman meme in an apparent reference to the similarities between Threads and Twitter.
On Threads, he wrote: "It'll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it. Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn't nailed it. Hopefully we will."
Twitter has said it has more than 200 million daily users.
Zuckerberg, responding to a user who predicted Twitter's demise about an hour after the Threads launch, cautioned patience. "We're only in the opening moments of the first round here," he said, using a boxing analogy having agreed to a cage-fight with Musk earlier this year.
Others saw the launch of Threads as an opportunity to create a less toxic version of Twitter.
"May this platform have good vibes, strong community, excellent humor, and less harassment," Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in her post.

'An open and friendly platform'
Much like Twitter, the app features short text posts that users can like, re-post and reply to, although it does not include any direct message capabilities or polls. Posts can be up to 500 characters long and include links, photos and videos up to five minutes long, according to Meta.
Threads was introduced as a clear spin-off of Instagram, which offers a built-in audience of more 1.6 billion users, sparing the new platform the challenge of starting from scratch.
Instagram Chief Adam Mosseri told users that Threads was intended to build "an open and friendly platform for conversations."
"The best thing you can do if you want that too, is be kind," he said.
Zuckerberg is widely understood to be taking advantage of Musk's controversial ownership of Twitter to push out the new product, which Meta hopes will become the go-to platform for celebrities, companies and politicians.
"It's as simple as that: if an Instagram user with a large number of followers such as Kardashian or a Bieber or a Messi begins posting on Threads regularly, a new platform could quickly thrive," strategic financial analyst Brian Wieser said on Substack.
Analyst Jasmine Engberg from Insider Intelligence said Threads only needs one out of four Instagram monthly users "to make it as big as Twitter."
"Twitter users are desperate for an alternative, and Musk has given Zuckerberg an opening," she added.
Under Musk, Twitter has seen content moderation reduced to a minimum with glitches and rash decisions scaring away celebrities and major advertisers.
He has angered Twitter's most devoted aficionados by declaring that access to its TweetDeck product - which allows users to view a fast flow of tweets at once - would be for paying customers only.
Launch delayed in Europe
Meta has its legion of critics too, especially in Europe, which could slow the growth of Threads. The company has been criticized for its handling of personal data, the essential ingredient for targeted ads that help it rake in billions of dollars in profits.
Mosseri said he regretted that the launch was delayed in the European Union, but had Meta waited for regulatory clarity from Brussels, Threads would have been "many, many, many, months away."
"I was worried that our window would close, because timing is important," he told the tech news site Platformer.
According to a source close to the matter, Meta was wary of the new law called the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which sets strict rules for the world's "gatekeeper" internet companies. One rule restricts platforms from moving user data between products, as would potentially be the case between Threads and Instagram.
Meta was caught doing just that after it bought WhatsApp, and European regulators will be on high alert to ensure it does not do so illegally with Threads.
Globally, the Threads hashtag on Twitter has garnered over a million tweets, with many users jokingly suggesting people will return to Musk's platform.
"10 mins into threads app. Me coming back to Twitter," one user wrote, sharing a video of a man sprinting. Others expressed privacy concerns.
"Meta loves to collect private information and I don't trust the way it treats private information," a Japanese user tweeted. "I also have the impression that this is a company hated by the EU, so I'm reluctant."
But some said they would permanently move to Threads. One Threads user wrote: "Now I truly can say goodbye to Twitter forever."

Instagram has announced that it is rolling out several new features to make it easier for users to connect with their friends and followers on the photo and video sharing platform. The Meta-owned service has rolled out new features including notes, candid stories, group profiles, collaborative collections and more. The notes feature will let users update their friends using text and emoji and replies to notes will arrive as direct messages (DMs) in the user's inbox.
The company announced the new features via a blog post on Tuesday. The first feature is called notes, and will allow users create a short post of up to 60 characters, with text and emoji. Users can go to the top of their inbox, then select the followers they follow back or others from their existing "Close Friends" list to share notes with. Once done, it will appear at the top of their friends' inboxes for 24 hours, similar to an Instagram story. Users can check the replies to their notes in in their DMs.
Instagram said that the notes feature will give people a casual and spontaneous way to express themselves and connect with their friends and followers. The other feature rolling out is lets users nominate friends to participate in "Add Yours" on stories, via the new "add your nomination" feature which you can access by tapping the "pass it on" button.
The company is also working on a group profiles feature

Meanwhile, Instagram's candid stories feature will allow users to click a candid photo from the stories camera and share the real-time activity with their friends and followers. It will only be visible to those who also share their own candid story. Meta is testing a similar feature for Facebook as well, and the feature appears to be inspired by the BeReal application that is growing in popularity globally.
The Meta-owned service has also rolled out a group profiles feature that enables users to create and join a profile to share posts and stories in a dedicated, shared group with their friends. It will only be shared to group members. Moreover, the app is also testing collaborative collections feature – a new way to connect with friends over their shared interests.
Users will be able to save posts to a collaborative collection in the group or private DMs. They will be required to start or add to a collaborative collection by saving a post directly from their feed. They can even share a post to a friend via DM and then save it, according to the company.

The Centre for the Children's Book
Setting out to establish a new institution is a challenging, some might say a foolhardy, undertaking. But the power of a vision should not be underestimated – particularly when that vision focuses on an undisputed need in Britain for a national Centre for the Children's Book. Elizabeth Hammill explains.
While British children's books may be celebrated worldwide, they are undervalued at home. Countries abroad have national Centres dedicated to children's literature but ironically no such centre exists here. There is no institution in this country where original work by the creators of children's books from first notes, early drafts, preparatory drawings to finished artwork and manuscripts is collected and preserved to be shared with the nation through exhibitions, artistic and educational programmes, and used for research and as an international resource.
Exciting Possibilities
The creation of a unique showcase for children's literature in Newcastle upon Tyne which will provide a safe haven for the work of British illustrators and authors and stop the loss of this rich seam of Britain's literary heritage to overseas institutions is motivation enough to pursue the vision for a Centre. Enlarge this vision of a collection which will focus on work produced in post-World War II Britain with a library, galleries, a studio theatre where narrative in other forms can be explored, workshop space, a 'model' children's bookshop ands a cafe serving book-inspired food and you have an institution replete with exciting possibilities for connecting all of us with children's books. Its potential to place children's literature at the heart of our national literary culture by transforming attitudes to it and thus creating a new climate in which the artistic importance of such work is recognised and a broader, more enthusiastic audience for it emerges is enormous.
Creating a vision takes time but is relatively straightforward. Realising a vision is another matter altogether. Politics, in all its senses, is the operative word. Hard graft too. It took five years of consulting authors, illustrators, publishers, educators, librarians and the general public before an initial proposal was composed. Plunging into the world of public subsidy, private sponsorship, grants and lottery funding was an act of faith – one that meant putting everything that I believed in about children and books on the line. If buildings could be assembled on goodwill alone, the proposed Centre would be in business already.
A Lottery Award
But more than goodwill has been forthcoming. In 1995, by happy chance, I encountered a former colleague who had worked with me and others to establish the Northern Children's Book Festival in 1984. Now, as Principal Planning and Development Officer in Newcastle City Council's Education Department, Mary Briggs was in an ideal position to help move the project forward with the Council. We have worked as a team since; initially forming a Steering Committee representing local and national political, literary, educational and museum interests, then translating that Committee into a Board of Trustees when we received charitable status, and receiving a lottery award of £27,000 in August, 1996 to carry out feasibility work into the establishment of a Centre. An Arts Council grant enabled an Acquisitions Committee to develop an Acquisitions Policy and approach a representative group of authors and illustrators to establish their support for the Centre and their willingness to pledge work to it – a feasibility exercise resulting in over 100 offers of original work from writers and illustrators including Joan Aiken, Quentin Blake Anne Fine, Shirley Hughes, Philippa Pearce, and Philip Pullman as well as the entire literary estate of the late Robert Westall. Grants helped us to acquire the Kaye Webb and Faith Jaques Archives, the latter saved from the rubbish tip by an astute house clearer. Ted Hughes offered us a 20 foot Iron Man, created for a Young Vic production of his classic tale.
Initial feasibility work was completed just as the lottery changed its guidelines in late 1997 and introduced a three-stage application process (with a project like this, the goalposts always move). Further feasibility work was required but because the Arts Lottery had only £55,000,000 to spend on capital projects until 2,000, a hold was put on all such initiatives, the Centre included, while a National Capital Strategy was produced. Northern Arts, however, has put together a funding package to enable us to complete feasibility work – convinced, like us, that the project will succeed.
In the meantime Newcastle City Council has become the Centre's local development partner (vital for any project), making available a site in a growing cultural quarter of the city worth £1 million. Tyne and Wear Museums Service has become a formal associate and the Centre has received seedcorn funding from a range of publishers, in particular Walker Books who gave us our first £1,000 as an 'act of faith' and has recently pledged £100,000 to match a donation of £100,000 from the Walker Books' Employee Trust Fund towards a gallery to commemorate Sebastian Walker. Hodder has pledged a 5 year sponsorship and Scholastic, Macmillan and Penguin have pledged 4 years of charitable giving. The Robert Westall Charitable Trust has also pledged £100,000 towards the £10 million project. Mary and I have spent the past 18 months working full-time for the Centre, Waterstone's having given me a sabbatical and provided our first major sponsorship.
Where to now? Completion of feasibility work, the challenge of finding plural funding given the anticipated changes in the Art Lottery's Capital Strategy, a Stage II Design and Development Lottery Application in 1999, and a steadfast belief in the value and viability of our vision. An opening date? 2002-2003. Just cross your fingers.
Elizabeth Hammill is Project Director, The Centre for the Children's Book.

Out on the Water
The Birthplace of Big Wave Surfing
Surfing is believed to have originated long ago in ancient Polynesia, later thriving in Hawaii. It was once a sport only reserved for alii (Hawaiian royalty), which is why surfing is often called the "sport of kings." King Kamehameha I himself was known for his surfing ability. Hawaii is also the birthplace of big wave surfing. In the 1950's surfers began to ride the powerful winter waves of Makaha on Oahu's west shore and Waimea Bay on the North Shore. Big wave season in Hawaii happens roughly between November and February on Hawaii's north shores. Some of the best surfing competitions in the world are held on Oahu's North Shore in November and December including the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (the Super Bowl of surfing). Watching these pros attack these ferocious waves can be an exhilarating experience.
Uniquely Kauai
Whether you're chartering a boat or fishing from shore, Kauai is ideal for both deep sea and freshwater fishing. Native Hawaiians have been fishing on Kauai for centuries. Just one example of this can be seen at the Alekoko, Menehune Fishpond near Lihue. This engineering feat was believed to have been built more than 1,000 years ago by hundreds of little, mythical Hawaiian people called Menehune. Whether it's deep sea or freshwater fishing, Kauai delivers. Reel in Ono, Mahimahi, Opakapaka and fighting Marlin from Kauai's shores, piers or fishing boats. In the area off the coast of Port Allen for instance, which is the departure point of many of Kauai's sport fishing charters the sea bottom will drop off 1000' in a matter of just one-quarter mile offshore, then drop again to 3000' within a mile offshore and then to 6000' just three miles offshore. This brings the possibility of finding the very largest fish within minutes of your Kauai sport fishing departure.
