text: The world is waking up to the wasteful practices of the fashion industry and wondering what can be done about it on a street level. Well, the best thing you can do is to commit to not buying as much "new" stuff as possible. While a complete shift in shopping methods might not be for everyone, we can all consider the concept of thrift on some level. That might take the form of something as simple as using old T-shirts for cleaning the bathroom. If you'd rather go a bit more bold then pop in to your nearest charity shop. There are bargains galore to be had there, all raising your green credentials while going easy on the pocket. But what if your style consciousness extends a bit further than acquiring another T-shirt that looks just like the dozens you already have? Well, do not despair because upcycled fashion is hitting the streets in a big way. The Refashion concept is nothing new though. Think of wartime rationing when creativity with what you had was the way forward for many a style guru. We have not lost this skill and this time round it is bound up in a feel good factor you can truly invest in. But what is it? Basically the idea is to take garments or fabrics that already exist and turn them into something new and unique. This can take the form of combining two or more garments into something similar to remove or hide damage or stains. On the other hand it can be a full-blown recreation bearing little or no resemblance to the original. Starting points can be e-Bay or charity shop bargains or just waste fabric in the shape of old curtains or excess from projects.

5 Healthy Ways to Reboot When You Feel Zapped
It happens to all of us.
You have one of those days when you feel like you're climbing uphill with your tired hands and getting nowhere.
Or maybe you're making great progress, but just feel depleted.
Believe me, I've been there. And some of the worst things you can do during times like these is reach for processed junk food, waste time scrolling through social media, or even snap at someone you love.
So here's a short list of five healthy ways to rebook (fast) when you just feel zapped.
- Take a nap. Even just 10-15 minutes of snooze time works wonders for an irritability or an afternoon slump. Most cultures consider a short nap everyday a must. It boots creativity and focus. So catch a few zzzz's when you can!
- Have a cup of tea (preferably organic green, loose leaf). Tea has so many health benefits; being high in antioxidants, boosting memory and concentration and aiding in weight loss just to name a few. So...sip, breathe, repeat.
- Go for a walk outdoors. When you move your body outside in nature, you boost your creativity and concentration according to a study at Stanford.* Plus - - it's great to get some quick fitness in while you're at it!
- Do some stretches. Expand your body, expand your mind. Some light yoga (especially backbends) can leave you feeling like you had a shot of espresso - without the bad effects.
- Sit in silence. Take a few minutes to unplug from all devices, sit and do nothing. Give yourself some time to just BE and you'll feel grounded and ready for what's ahead.
I hope you enjoyed these tips and find them helpful!
And don't forget to ENJOY THIS DAY xx

Montinore Vineyards - Deep Roots in Oregon Biodynamic Farming
By Ryan Gaughan, Alcohol Buyer & Co-Manager
I have always been fascinated by the environment of the Pacific Northwest. Living in the Portland area, we have the ability to travel a few hours in any direction and find ourselves in starkly different places. From lush, green valleys to rugged mountains and desert, the land offers different possibilities for what people can grow and cultivate.
This entire landscape was formed by fire and flood.
Approximately 15 million years ago, massive chasms in the earth's surface opened in what is present day Eastern Washington and Oregon, spewing flows of lava across the land. For millions of years, fiery rivers of liquid rock spread out over the land, eventually cooled, and then gradually sank into the surface under their own weight. Eventually these expansive basalt flows became the foundation of the Columbia Basin and its watershed.
The earth was really only getting warmed up. During the last Ice Age, approximately 18,000 to 13,000 years ago, a giant frozen ocean sheet covering much of present day Canada began slowly drifting South. One arm of this ice sheet formed a dam on the Clark Fork River, resulting in the formation of Glacial Lake Missoula, extending into much of present day Montana. This body of water, about the size of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario combined, was held in place by an ice dam 30 miles wide and 2000 ft high.
The dam did not hold. At one moment in history, a wall of water 2000 ft high barreled with catastrophic force all the way to the Pacific Ocean. As it did so, it stripped all of the vegetation, animal life, and topsoil back down to the ancient basalt flows in a giant flush. Floods happened repeatedly, each time pulling up the land and leaving unfathomable amounts of rock in their wake. These layers of rock became the substrates for what today comprises the fertile lands of the Willamette and Columbia Valleys, and Eastern Washington.
Most agricultural activity in Oregon takes place within the basalt tendrils of this great geological odyssey. The Willamette Valley is one of them, stretching 150 miles, from Portland to Eugene. It is here, for reasons that have just as much to do with climate as they do with geology, that specific conditions are correct for the propagation of Vitis vinifera. From this vine, we get grapes such as pinot noir, pinot gris, gewurztraminer, and pinot blanc, among the most prolific of Willamette Valley wines.
In October of 2017 I had the great pleasure of visiting Montinore Vineyards, producers of several wines carried by People's Food Co-op. Montinore is a 200-acre vineyard estate that finds itself in the northernmost end of the Willamette Valley wine growing region, along the east facing slope of the Coastal Range, in the proximity of Forest Grove, Oregon. As a picture taking guest, my timing couldn't be worse, but I am treated to a full tour of the operation by friendly staff nonetheless. Dozens of workers are busy in the height of harvest season, working intently to harvest the perfectly juicy pinot noir grapes before an early winter storm arrives later in the week.
Much of the landscape of this estate is consistent with other wineries in the valley. Rolling, vine carpeted hillsides, stunning mountain views, and an ornate tasting room and production facility are all hallmarks of Oregon "wine tourism" that can be found here. But in the fields there is a much deeper, attentive care in farming practices that is happening, more than immediately meets the eye.
Planted in 1982, Montinore today is the second largest producer of estate grown certified Organic & Biodynamic grapes in the country. It is an impressive display of dedication and meticulous crop management that they are able to produce grapes this way, and still manufacture enough quantity to be distributed in multiple states.
Many people will be familiar with the core concepts of Organic farming, denoting that crops are not treated with artificially manufactured pesticides & herbicides. Biodynamic farming, however, is a less well known and truly fascinating farming technique, and not one commonly employed in winemaking in the United States. At its core, Biodynamic farming insists that the health of a farm occurs from the elements present within the farm itself. With creative applications of human intervention, contributions from animals, and the cycles of the earth, the workers at Montinore seek to harness natural forces in service of the vines.
Montinore does not water its vineyard at any point during the growing season. Employing "dry farming" techniques, the vine roots are encouraged to grow deep into the ground in search of retained moisture from the previous winter. In this way, the vine becomes stronger, and, according to the winemakers, extracts more complex flavors from the soil. Through this network of deep vines, it is believed that the grape is an expression of the geological history of the land.
Above the surface, Biodynamic farming at Montinore involves a variety of techniques both scientific and what some would call "mystical". After the harvest, crops of clover are planted between the vines to augment nitrogen in the soil. Early in the spring, roses planted by the vines do their part to slow mildew before it has a chance to attack the vine. Goats that are raised on the property provide a critical ingredient of Biodynamic farming, their manure, which is cultivated into a "tea" inside of bull horns (seriously, look it up) and manufactured into a spray fertilizer. All of these things are done within the seasonal cycles of solstice and equinox when the gravitational pull of the moon ebbs and flows with the sap of the vine.
A highlight of my tour was the time spent in the tasting room, of course, where I was able to sample from the full array of Montinore's commercial and estate selection of wines. At one point, two glasses of pinot noir were put in front of me. One was made from grapes grown at a slightly higher hillside elevation, and the other was from the lower lands of the property. It was explained that the soils of each of the vines were starkly different, with the lower elevation soil containing more elements of the Missoula Flood substrates. The contrast between the two was remarkable; both the same subspecies of vine, but with undeniably different expressions.
I invite you to try the Montinore products proudly featured at People's Food Co-op. We are extremely fortunate to have such an incredible winery located so close to us, particularly one which embodies our Co-op Ends Statement of "Progressive Land & Animal Stewardship".
Be sure to stop in to the Co-op on Saturday, January 13, 2-5pm, when Montinore will be doing an in store tasting! You can try all of the different Montinore wines we carry, including Verjus, a non-alcoholic pinot noir grape juice, and learn more about their farming estates!

One of his 12 Banners

Dark Silver Grey
In the upcoming springs or early summers,if you are a Midwest alpaca breeder looking to step up the next generation of your already outstanding suri greys, stop your search now. That answer is right here at Midnight Moon @ R&R Suris, in Montague, MI.BRKRD Silver Granite is the entire package you've been looking for in a grey herdsire. He offers blinding luster, super fineness and outstanding conformation. It is safe to say, his fleece is the kind that the industry have been trying to breed into greys for sometime! Silver Granite is sired by the 2011 Dark Futurity Herdsire of the Year, Peruvian Silver Heat, the first grey to ever accomplish this title. Silver Granite has collected a total of 12 purple banners and 18 blue ribbons in halter shows during his career to date. In his growing list of accomplishments are back to back Color and Reserve Championships at both the 2012 and 2013 Nationals, Futurity and MAPACA Shows. It is easy to see, that the Judges agree, Silver Granite is the next up and coming star in the grey suri world. Not only has Silver Granite been a show stopper, he has passed those characteristics down to his first cria - a beautiful rose grey male. He took a Blue Ribbon away from a competitive grey juvenile class at the 2015 Nationals! Congrats to Jess and Zach at Halo Ranch. So, it is easy to see, from the above narrative, why when Midnight Moon Suris had the opportunity to purchase partial ownership in Halo Ranch's BKNRD SILVER GRANITE, there was no hesitation in our decision. The arrangement has worked out well for both Halo and Midnight Moon Suris. For the West Coast Grey Suri Breeders, you will be able to find him until Late 2017 at Halo Ranch, NW Oregon. We now have our first three SG crias on the ground, Syklone, Silver Bullet and RNR Granite's Knight Midnight Moon. We had a successful Spring 2017 seasons with .

PURCELL, Okla. - A teenage boy has been declared brain dead after he was hit by a vehicle Monday night, his family tells NewsChannel 4.
Rafael Garcia-Andrade, 13, was walking back from buying fireworks around 9 p.m. Monday night when he was struck by a pickup truck that hopped the curb, said his sister.
"From what we're told, he was walking and he turned back maybe and saw the car was jumping the curb to hit him, so he pushed his friend out of the way and obviously he got hit," said Kasey Winn, Garcia-Andrade's sister. "He was walking on the sidewalk, doing what he should have been doing and somebody popped up on the curb."
The driver then sped off. Police are still searching for the person responsible.
"Why didn't they stop to see what happened?" Winn asked. "I don't know if they were intoxicated or not, but you know you hit something when you hit it. I want to find who did it. Even if it was an accident, please just come forward and say 'I did it.'"
Garcia-Andrade's family said his father, who was coming to pick him up, found him unresponsive on the pavement.
His family described the teenager as shy and quiet but loving. He enjoyed longboarding and cars, his sister said.
"He's just the sweetest boy ever," she said.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family with medical expenses.

There is no doubt that the epicenter of U.S. associated natural gas production growth is the Permian, where dry gas output has increased from 3.5 Bcf/d in 2012 to more than 6.5 Bcf/d today. And there is a lot more where that came from. RBN's Growth Scenario indicates that as much as 12 Bcf/d of natural gas production could be surging out of the Permian by 2022, with less than 1 Bcf/d of that needed for local demand. All of that incremental production will need to move out of the region, either on existing or new pipelines. Permian gas is such a big deal that RBN has developed a brand new weekly report focused specifically on the topic — how much is produced, where it is processed, its destination markets, how it is priced and, most importantly, how the Permian gas market will balance out, both today and in the coming months. Today we take you on a tour of RBN's NATGAS Permian report five days before we close our inaugural report preview period — it's your last chance! If it is not obvious, today's blog is a blatant advertorial for our new report.
All things Permian — crude oil, associated natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), takeaway capacity, etc. — have been an important focus of the RBN blogosphere for the past couple of years. And it is very likely that the Permian will continue to draw special attention — it's that big a deal. In recent months we've issued two Drill Down Reports on the play, With a Permian Well They Cried More, More, More, Part 1 and Part 2, the first focusing on crude oil production growth and takeaway capacity and the second on natural gas. We've also looked at the challenges faced by Permian producers as they quickly ramp up production (see Don't Leave Me This Way and Wipe Out!); at the increasing volume of Permian crude being exported out of Corpus Christi (see Take It to the Limit); at new gas pipeline hubs being developed to help move Permian gas to Mexico and other markets (see Rio and It Was Good Living With You (W)aha, Part 4); and at the potential for constraints on NGL takeaway out of the Permian (see Different for NGLs).
While the Permian may be the hottest drilling location in the U.S. — if not North America and possibly the world — trying to decipher natural gas dynamics in the basin is far from straightforward. For starters, the area is huge, stretching across 70,000 square miles from east of Midland to near the Mexican border and over dozens of counties that most traders, analysts and developers have never heard of. The scale of natural gas infrastructure is daunting, with legacy gathering and processing systems built on top of each other over the past 60-plus years only complicated by recent new projects and a wave of others to be added over the next two years. The interstate pipeline system in the area most resembles a spaghetti bowl that might be untangled more quickly if not for the presence of the Texas intrastate pipelines, those denizens of the analyst world that are allowed to post no data at all and make up almost half of the Permian's gas takeaway infrastructure. Throw on top of this situation the buildout of export pipelines to Mexico, where data sources are harder to come by and almost always in Spanish, and you may find yourself searching for the Advil or your favorite tequila.

Mississippi Humanist Association - September 2017 Newsletter
Greetings, humans!
The Mississippi Humanist Association (MHA) is active group right now, we've got a LOT of news to catch you up on - if you want to make sure you don't miss anything, click on over to our website anytime!
First up, on Saturday, September 16th, the MHA presents Dr. Patrick D. Hopkins of Millsaps College. Dr. Hopkins will present his talk called "Gods and Spaceships: Religion and Technology in Science Fiction." This FREE presentation, with ample time for a Q&A after, will take place on September 16th, at 2:00 PM at the Willie Morris Library on Old Canton Road, in Jackson, MS.
Dr. Hopkins will discuss how the human equivalence of godhood with power has led to sci-fi examples of people assuming that technologically advanced aliens are gods - and how expanding technological prowess might lead to godlike powers that do not require supernatural agency.
It promises to be an intellectually stimulating discussion, pulling examples from Star Trek, Stargate, and the trope of Ancient Aliens, and it's all free of charge. If you'd like to help us get the word out, or check out a suggested reading list, go to the event page on our website and download a flyer to put somewhere visible! If you would, please let us know you're coming via Facebook, Meetup, or by replying to this email.
After that, this month's MHA Humanist Happy Hour is going to be at Picante's Grill, at 960 N. State Street, near the intersection of State and Fortification Street in Jackson. As usual, we're going to start the party at 6:00 P.M. There is parking in the rear of the building, and you may also park at Walgreen's across the street, or just down from the restaurant in a lot for Wing Stop.
Just a reminder, our vice president resigned late last month, so the Board of Directors is one member short. Therefore, the MHA Board of Directors is seeking volunteers interested in becoming a member the Board of Directors and serving as the Vice President for the rest of the term, which ends in February of 2019.
If you're interested in serving on the board and as vice president, you must be a current member of the Mississippi Humanist Association in good standing. If you would like to volunteer for this opportunity to help serve our growing membership and the humanist community in Mississippi, just go to our website for more details and send us an e-mail expressing your interest before 6:00 P.M. on September 29.
We have heard from a couple of outstanding members who are interested in helping humanism in Mississippi, and we will select a new board member at the September 29th board meeting, which we will hold at 6:00 PM at the upstairs meeting room at the Whole Foods Market on Northside Drive.
And last, but definitely not least, the MHA is bringing the documentary film A Better Life: An Exploration of Joy & Meaning In A World Without God to Jackson, Mississippi - with the filmmaker, Chris Johnson!
Make plans to join us for this FREE "Mississippi Premier" screening on November 19th, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. at the Eudora Welty Library in downtown Jackson. Mr. Johnson will join us to screen and discuss his film and his book, A Better Life: 100 Atheists Speak Out on Joy & Meaning in a World Without God, which inspired the film. A Better Life has been shown in more than 60 cities on four continents, but this will mark the first time this film has come to Mississippi.
If you'd like to find out more, please visit our website, where you can find more details, download flyers, and donate to support this event and help defray the costs involved with bringing Chris and his film to Mississippi for this event.
We hope you will make plans to attend, and we ask that you RSVP either via Facebook, Meetup, or by replying to this email, so we may assure seating for everyone at this event.
Please consider joining the MHA if you haven't already, or renewing your membership if it has lapsed. The MHA depends on membership fees and donations to keep going. With more members, and more donations, we can go further, and get more done! We give our speakers honorariums, pay for food, lodging and transportation. We have an active website that communicates to the world about the MHA. Everything the MHA does, it does with your donations and memberships. So if you haven't already, join the MHA - and if you want to show your support and help us to continue to book outstanding speakers and events in the future, make a tax-deductible donation. Another way to support the MHA is to select us as your charity on AmazonSmile! Just click the link to get started at AmazonSmile! It is your interest and support that allows the MHA to keep going and growing – YOU make the MHA all that it is!
Thanks so much for your support of the Mississippi Humanist Association!

Çatalca (Marmara, Turkey) municipality made a decision to start an urban renewal project in Ferhatpaşa which is one of the most known Roma settlements of the district. Three storey houses, which is being planned to be suitable for remaining of Roma culture, will be built in the same place according to the statement maden by the municipality. It's also said that when the project is completed, it will be asked to the residents for confirmation and if the residents don't confirm it, it won't be applied. Roma residents of the neighbourhood say that they will support the project if the condition declared will be kept in the project.
Çatalca municipality is preparing an urban renewal project in Ferhatpaşa neighbourhood in where 2000 Roma live according to the news of the journalist Ercan Öztürk from Akşam newspaper. Municipality official made conversations with the residents in their houses to learn their demands about urban renewal. The project in which there storey Roma houses are being planned to be built instead of big apartment buildings will be given to Mass Housing Administrattion (TOKİ) whenever it's completed and confirmed by the residents. It's also claimed that renters living in Ferhatpaşa and Kaleiçi will also benefit from the project.
The vice president of Roma Associations Federation evaluated the issue with these words: "The renters will also benefit from the project here. The mayor gathered with us there times to introduce the details of the project. The majority here support the project. The most important thing is that we will confirm it". Scholars say that the project planned to be done in Ferhatpaşa have to be followed carefully and they emhasize the issue that the payment conditions are as important as the qualifications of the new houses. There have been some problematic examples of urban renewal in which ability to pay of the resident were not regarded.

If you're looking into alcohol or drug abuse recovery options, then you will find that there are many different avenues to choose from. This can be overwhelming, especially for someone who is going through the recovery process for the first time. At Mending Fences, we understand the difficulties associated with deciding to start this new chapter, but our equine therapy recovery center is here to help. If you're unsure of which direction to go, here are 5 reasons Mending Fences might be for you.
Horses and people have worked side for side for generations, but now they work together towards a new cause: emotional understanding and stability. Horses are non-judgmental, non-biased, and receptive to a person's every emotion. If a person is uneasy, the horse acts as a mirror, and will behave similarly. This helps patients to be aware of their emotions, as these large animals respond to everything. Many of our thoughts and feelings are subconscious, and most times we feel that we are then not in control of our actions. Around horses, one must understand their emotions to help the animals feel at ease.
Horses help patients get a broader perspective of the world and themselves. When they are interacting with these animals, it is no longer just about them. The way they act makes a direct impact in relationships. It also allows them to get outside of themselves, their pain, and their story to experience something new.
As mentioned, equine therapy helps patients to understand their non-verbal emotions. Though we often times don't think about it, most of our interactions with others are based non-verbal cues. This assists these individuals to communicate with other individuals in a different and more conscious way than they may have before.
A handful of drug and alcohol addicts may suffer from aggressive breakouts or emotional meltdowns. Because horses need to be dealt with calmly, the option to become impulsive around a horse is simply not an option. Therefore this helps patients to cooperate more easily, and reduces the aggressive tendencies.
Many drug and alcohol victims have become accustomed to spending significant time alone, making working and interacting with others a bit of an adjustment. Horses approach people without judgment or any prior knowledge, making individuals feel accepted and understood. This then allows them to open up in group settings, as they become more comfortable with themselves and with others.

Winter's coming
Okay, okay – I know no one really wants to think about this yet (sorry!), especially since fall is barely upon us. But by planning now for what needs to be done to have a relatively comfortable winter, it's possible to save a bunch of time and headaches.
Depending on situations, there are a lot of ways to prep for winter. My list isn't actually that long right now, and some items are more necessities than others, but I want to get a clear idea now of what I want to do and need to do as the days keep getting shorter and cooler in this neck of the woods.
The biggest things for us right now is planning to keep comfortable. It gets cold here, and this apartment is neither well heater nor well insulated. This year, we want to start prepping for the cold early by caulking and insulating the windows and doors, and looking into low-cost, energy efficient heating solutions that we can try.
The next big thing is cash flow. I've got some savings, and although I'll still be making enough to cover basic expenses, my income is about to drop off a bit more. While we haven't exactly been spending the big bucks, some further belt tightening will be in order to ensure that we stay in a relatively comfortable financial position. I haven't been as tight about spending as perhaps I could be, and a few tweaks will make some difference in our cash flow, so that's in the works right now.
Also this year I'd like to get a plan in place for growing some more food. In the past, I've missed deadlines for planting seeds, and wound up buying a few starter plants here and there. This year, I'd like to know what needs to be started when, and come up with a better plan for how to fit things in better outside, and make the most of the available space for a bit of food production. There are limits, of course, but getting the planning startednow should help to really get some good use out of what we've got.
Finally, this year I'd like to keep a better eye on what I eat. From a health standpoint this makes sense, but also from a financial one. I have a lot of food stored here, and given the relatively high likelihood of moving sometie in the near-ish future, I'd like to start working through what I've got here. I'd also like to set up some easy to follow menus. I get sidetracked a lot during the week, which wastes time and, in a lot of cases, food. Knowing what I can make with what I have on hand seems like a good way to use up food I've already bought and improve our diet.
These are the big ones for now, although I'm sure there are other projects that will come up, and other things that need to be done. For now, I'm going to sit down with a seed catalogue and start planning out when to start planting some seeds, and where they'll wind up down the road.

As we reflect back on our opening week, we've received endless positive feedback from diners and the community in general, and we can't thank you enough for that. One thing people have really loved (aside from our always-crowd-pleasing Chicken and What? dish) is the interior and overall atmosphere of CRAFTkitchen. We're so glad to hear this, as we worked so hard on bringing the space the life and making it a warm and welcoming setting for guests. One of our favorite aspects of the interior happens to be our custom-made tables. Today, then, we wanted to share with you a little bit about the CRAFTsman (pun totally intended) behind these beauties.
We were introduced to Alex Evans, a miracle worker when it comes to all-things wood, through a mutual friend. As soon as we saw Alex's work, we knew we wanted him to craft our dining tables. He used a mixture of Pine and Douglas Fir (with other similar woods sprinkled in) to create beautiful, unmistakable dark-wood tops for our dining tables and private dining room table, finishing them off with the CRAFTkitchen logo for an added creative touch.
When all was said and done, Alex created 23 table tops and one 12-foot long private dining room table for us. Against the more industrial elements of the restaurant (like our cement flooring and black-and-white color scheme), the dark wood really warms up the space and adds the perfect custom-touch we were looking for.
In the dining room, Alex's hand-crafted (and massive) table is such a statement piece–and we can't wait to host families and groups as they celebrate special moments gathered around what truly is such work of art.
There is nothing we love more than supporting and celebrating local artists and their work, and we are so glad we get to come to work everyday knowing that we have created a space that–from the coffee to tables–is for Vegas, by Vegas. You can view more of Alex's beautiful work on his Instagram Account or email him to request a custom order.

Christmas 2015 and New Year 2016 in Indonesia. A holiday which promises to be relaxing. Allow us to show you our best highlights of Bali and Lombok.
Domi's sister is visiting us for a few days in Australia. I'm so happy ! We planned some great activities at the beach, a visit to the vineyards and even a short trip to Tasmania. It is always exciting to welcome family members or friends to your expat country. I turned into a tour guide for a well-deserved.
We had an amazing time for the Christmas holidays with Steve's family who came from the U.S. to travel around SA with us. We celebrated Christmas and NYE the Aussie way at the beach. We traveled to Kangaroo Island. We had lots of good food and drinks. In short, we had a blast with the Gross/Nesmith family.
Going hiking on weekends is a good way to relax and exercise. Find our favorite hiking trails around Adelaide in this post.
Riding bicycle is becoming trendy in Adelaide. The two-wheeled community is growing and so are events promoting them. On a tour of Adelaide's "bicyclehood".
Morialta Conservation Park is our hiking destination of the weekend. Boots and comfy clothes on, we're ready to have fun while discovering Adelaide's wildlife.
Our first hiking adventure took us to the Mount Lofty Summit. A steep climb which leads to a stunning view of Adelaide & its beaches.

A cut above the rest...
Nothing but the best will do when it comes to your next event or project.
Some operators are vested in expensive, out dated equipment. High In The Sky operates with the latest cutting edge technology.
Our pilot is fully qualified and licensed to perform commercial work by CASA, Civil Aviation Safety Authority. You can be assured that all safety measures will be implemented with the highest standards.
With the recent changes to the Australian legislation on Remotely Piloted Aircraft, most new commercial operators are not licensed and don't provide Public Liability Insurance.
CASA, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, is in charge of Australia's rules and regulations for aircraft, including drones.
As of 29 September 2016, CASA changed the rules that govern who is permitted to fly a drone for commercial purposes such as aerial photography.
Previously, anyone who flies a drone for commercial purposes must have a UAV Operator's Certificate and Remote Pilot License.
As of 29 September, however, anyone who wants to operate a drone that's under 2kg for commercial purposes (i.e. something they'll get paid to do) will be permitted to do so if they abide by certain restrictions.
To be eligible, the drone operator will need to notify CASA of their intentions to fly prior to each job, only fly during the day, only fly less than 120 metres above ground level, and not fly within 30 metres of people or 5.5 kilometres of a controlled aerodrome.
The relaxation of drone regulations come September means that photographers could potentially begin to operate drones for aerial photography and videography without being CASA qualified. However, before you engage with such a photographer, it's important to keep the following issues in mind.
You cannot get public liability insurance for a drone if the operator doesn't have a CASA Remote Pilot License.
In such cases, if something happens to the drone (e.g. it crashes through the roof of your vendor's home, flies into traffic, hits another person's property, or injures a passer-by), your drone operator will not be covered by insurance. Not only is this something no one wants to be involved with financially, it's most likely something you wouldn't want to be involved with ethically, either.
You cannot gauge the experience of a drone operator who isn't CASA qualified. And they mightn't be very experienced at all.
To obtain a CASA license, an operator must go through the necessary training and learn the appropriate rules and regulations for air traffic safety. An unlicensed drone operator does not have to do either of these things. Not only does this mean they mightn't be as skilled at piloting a drone, they may also lack essential knowledge of Australian air space law, making them potentially dangerous to other people and aircraft.
Unlicensed drone operators cannot fly at night for commercial purposes.
Not only does this mean they cannot capture stills or shots in the evening – they're also unable to shoot at dusk. So if you want to create a stunning dusk photo or video, you can't go with an unlicensed operator.
You can't get aerial shots within 30 metres of people or 5.5 kilometres of controlled airspace if your drone operator isn't CASA qualified.
In contrast, a drone operator who holds the necessary licenses is permitted to fly within 15 metres of people, and can also operate within controlled airspace. This is particularly important if your listing is in a densely populated area or near an airport.
While we acknowledge that as of 29 September, you're legally permitted to work with an unlicensed drone operator, at High In The Sky, we strongly advise you to fly only with certified operators.
If anyone offers you drone aerial photography services, ask them for a copy of their CASA certificates, or check that they're licensed on CASA's official listing of drone operators.
Fly safe, not sorry, and you can enjoy the benefits of aerial photography and videography without the potential headaches that could come when dealing with an unlicensed operator.
At High In The Sky, our aerial photography and videography services are provided by qualified and experienced photographers who have all the necessary CASA qualifications and certificates. If you want to work with a safe, insured, and fully licensed drone operator, contact us today.

Dong, Hui, Chen Lin, and Zintong Zhan. "Do Analysts Matter for Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence from Natural Experiments." Working paper (The University of Hong Kong), 2015.
From the authors' abstract: "Relying on brokerage closures and mergers as natural experiments which generate exogenous changes in analyst coverage, our Difference-in-Differences estimator indicates that a reduction in analyst coverage causes firms to engage more aggressively in irresponsible behavior, especially in the dimensions of environmental issues and product quality and safety concerns. The effects of analyst coverage on irresponsible activities are more pronounced in firms with lower initial analyst coverage, weaker corporate governance and higher financial constraints."

Gov. Scott: Crime drops 4.1% in Leon County
Today, Governor Rick Scott announced that crime is down in Leon County compared to the first six months of 2012. Overall, crime fell 4.1 percent in Leon County and 7.1 percent in the City of Tallahassee.
Governor Scott said, "With crime down by more than 7 percent in Tallahassee, this is great news for the families of the area. As we continue to win the war on crime, we must thank those heroes who work to protect our communities."
There were more than 200 fewer crime victims from January – June 2013 than the same time period last year with fewer robberies, aggravated assaults, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts.
Statewide the numbers reflect historic lows. The 2013 Semi-Annual Uniform Crime Report shows Florida's crime volume dropped 5.2 percent and the number of violent crimes (murder, forcible sex offenses, robbery and aggravated assault) was down by 3.5 percent. Non-violent crime (burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft) fell 5.5 percent.
The complete 2013 Semi-Annual Uniform Crime Report, including county-by-county breakdowns, can be found on FDLE's website at www.fdle.state.fl.us/fsac/ucr/. FDLE began tracking crime statistics in 1971.

Choosing The Right Stacking Ring Toy
If you have a baby or toddler at home chances are you have a stacking ring toy. It really is a classic toy with many benefits. Stacking rings help develop eye-hand coordination, encourage problem-solving and teach color and size recognition, but with so many stacking rings available which one should you choose? Well, for starters, let's take a look at this very popular option by Fisher Price.
This stacking ring comes up first in searches and I've seen it at almost every house that I've been to with little kids. But, is it really the most beneficial choice? Let's explore a few other options and you can decide for yourselves. You can click on any of the pictures to learn more about the toys.
This stacking ring by Holgate Toys comes with 6 rings instead of 5 and contains 6 clear primary colors that are not over-stimulating or distracting. The base rocks and spins for an extra challenge. This toy is wooden, durable and great quality. Love it.
This Shape Stacker is also wooden and comes with 6 different SHAPES to stack instead of just rings. The pieces are also heavier than the plastic rings and require more dexterity to stack. This can be used along with other building blocks as the child gets a little older to create unique designs. Very cool idea!
This beautiful wooden stacking toy comes with 11 pieces instead of the typical 5 or 6, providing an opportunity to teach more colors, size comparisons, and numbers. Also having more pieces requires kids to sustain attention and engage in coordination activities for longer to complete the task.
Here, the stacking pieces can also be used as teethers. Each piece has a different texture, providing extra tactile sensory input to the mouth and hands. The pieces stack interchangeably making it a great first stacking toy. This encourages kids to problem solve, coordinate and strengthen the hands as well.
Here is another wooden stacking toy that is simple, beautiful and great quality. Here, the peg is thinner than in the plastic Fisher Price toy, requiring a need for more precision when stacking. Also love that it comes with an adorable penguin at the top.
This Giant Plush Stacking Ring toy is large enough to promote gross motor skills in children encouraging crawling, walking and standing. Picking up and placing the pieces onto the peg also develops upper body strength and coordination of both hands together. Love how unique this is!
I've just listed 6 stacking ring options that I feel are worth looking into. Of course, there are plenty of other ones that are excellent as well. I encourage you all to take a look and really do your research before purchasing a stacking ring toy, as they are not all created equal. Its important to note that the most popular ones may not always be the most worthwhile.

Modern Bathroom Design Ideas
With modern bathroom design your customization options are endless. More and more homeowners are veering away from simply creating a functional room and are instead tailoring their spaces with spa-like amenities to optimize comfort.
Frameless Showers
Frameless showers are quickly replacing traditional shower doors in modern bathrooms. This modern update creates an elegant and open space that will give your bathroom a sleek look.
Minimalist Fixtures
Having clean lines and simple fixtures in your bathroom can create an air of serenity and peace. Embrace minimalism with unadorned fixtures like this geometric sink.
Bold Design Elements
Another trend that's growing in popularity in modern bathrooms is the addition of bold design elements like chandeliers or fireplaces to give your space more of a spa-like feel. Adding a fireplace next to your bathtub will be a lifesaver in colder climates and a decorative chandelier paired with a claw foot tub is a great way to add elegance and sophistication to your room.
All-White Spaces
White is one color that never goes out of style. Designing your bathroom with an all-white color palette will create a calm ambience and will give you a clean and open space to relax in.
Modern Amenities
Customize your bathroom to enhance your comfort with extras like heated floors and towel racks to keep you warm in the winter, programmable showers, and deep soaking tubs for added relaxation. Nowadays the options are endless and whether you're choosing simple amenities like a makeup mirror or a more complex option like heated floors, the level of customization is up to you!

Company Profile
Who we are
One of our most valuable advantages is the well-coordinated work of the qualified experts who make ILLA's professional team:
Dr. Vladimir Zakoshansky
CEO of ILLA International, LLC., USA
Expert in the kinetics of acid-catalytic reactions, effect of organic and mixed solvents on reaction rate, aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation reactions, and reactions of isoparaffin alkylation by olefins. After graduation from the St. Petersburg (Leningrad) Institute of Technology (Technical University) in 1969, he worked for the Lenneftekhim R&D Institute, where he received his PhD degree in 1974. From then on, he has been engaged in creating world famous technologies for phenol and acetone production. His dedication and extraordinary drive, as well as his nature of a fighter and a leader made it possible to implement his revolutionary ideas at Russian plants.
In 1992 he founded ILLA International, a research and development company which in several years would become a leader in phenol technologies. In 1994 he was employed by General Electric Company as an independent contractor. During seven years Dr. Zakoshansky succeeded in implementing six breakthrough technologies which drastically changed the image of this large phenol producer. After leaving GE, Vladimir Zakoshansky, supported by a highly professional team of researchers in ILLA International, devoted all his time to creating, developing and marketing his processes all over the world.
Dr. Zakoshansky is an inventor of 139 patents, including 115 on phenol production, and an author of 85 published articles, 67 of which deal with the improvements of phenol process and the kinetics and mechanisms of the main and side reactions involved in a cumene to phenol/acetone process. More than 30 patents related to cumene oxidation, cumene hydroperoxide cleavage, catalytic phenol treatment and other phenol process stages have been implemented in the phenol production field on the basis of his inventions and under his direct control at 12 commercial units, including: GE (USA), INEOS (Germany, Belgium, and USA), Fenoquimia (Mexico), Borealis (Finland), and a number of Russian plants (Ufa, Omsk, Grozny, Samara, Saratov, etc.). In 2005, Vladimir Zakoshansky was acknowledged by the American Biographical Institute as one of "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st century" for creating a breakthrough phenol process.
A brilliant scientist, Vladimir Zakoshansky does not confine himself to research only. Keen on sports, music and arts, he is also a poet extremely perceptive to beauty in all its aspects; three books of his poetry were published in 2001, 2004 and 2006.
He lives in suburban Chicago, IL with his family.
Irina Vasilyeva
Joined ILLA in 1992. Graduated from the Chemistry Department of the St. Petersburg (Leningrad) State University. She is an expert in the phase equilibria and solutions theory. Irina is an inventor of about 20 patents and an author of more than 30 articles on phase equilibria and phenol production. She received her PhD in Chemistry in 2001 and currently, as the R&D Director of ILLA International Ltd., is engaged in development of new methods for producing phenol on a commercial scale. Area of expertise: analytical and separation methods comprising fractionation, extraction and adsorption. Member of the Board of Directors.
Tatyana Tyvina
After leaving the Lenneftekhim R&D Institute in 1996, Tatyana joined ILLA as a researcher.

Merry, merry Christmas! Happy holidays, merry everything. I was considering not posting about our Christmas season - it has seemed so lovely and perfect I almost didn't want to spoil it, somehow. But I do look back at my posts now and then, and I want to remember this. We hosted a potluck for friends, which we do pretty regularly, but until this year we hadn't at Christmas, and it was the best! I made the ornaments above with melted beeswax (from our bees!) and was so happy to give them as little gifts from our farm, mixed and matched with a few half-dozens of our gorgeous eggs, some soap, hand balm, and honey. My loveliest wrapping job this year was some gifts that I wrapped and delivered for friends and just had to document. We have two trees up, one with just white lights at the top of the stairs, and of course there was turkey! A really-delicious-fresh-and-local turkey my parents brought over, and baked oatmeal with raspberries and blueberries and pecans for breakfast as is our tradition (mostly because it's easy to put together the night before). There was a game of magnetic darts found under the tree, and a walk at the lighthouse on a balmy Christmas afternoon.
So much love and joy to you, today and every day. May you have a heart full of gratitude and love.
To make the beeswax ornaments, I melted beeswax, poured it into nonstick cookie molds, and carefully looped baker's twine and laid it on the backs of the ornaments just as the beeswax was beginning to set. When they were almost cooled, I etched a message and the year on the back. Easy peasy, simple, and beautiful - I'm tickled pink with how they turned out.

Life is hard, and sometimes you need a soft place to nap.
Enter Futo, an air mattress that promises to inflate quickly without a pump. Its creators hope you'll tote it to the park, the pool, the campground — or really anywhere you might want some shut-eye or a place to lounge.
"There are lots of air mattresses and there has been no innovation in this field," said Futo co-founder Nick Kuznetsov. "We thought maybe we can build a new and innovative air mattress and create our own inflation system."
Futo says the system works this way: The mattress has an opening at one end with handles on either side. You drag the mattress through the air and air flows evenly into four internal compartments. Once the mattress is firm enough, you close it up by folding the fabric around the opening and sealing it with a clip.
On a windy day, creators say, the mattress might inflate on the first stroke. If you're indoors or the air is stagnant, it might take a few movements to fill completely. It should inflated in about 20 seconds or less, Kuznetsov said.
When inflated, the queen-size mattress will support people weighing up to 650 pounds, the creators say, and will gradually begin to deflate after about eight hours. It is expected to ship starting in March 2017.
The Futo air mattress may sound implausible, but Futo has persuaded enough people to reach its modest fundraising goal of $15,000 on Kickstarter in a single day, Kuznetsov said. It was launched in partnership with Concepter, a consumer products company that successfully raised more than $400,000 for iblazr and iblazr 2, a wireless flash that affixes to your smartphone to snap better-lit photos.

When it comes to CrossFit equipment, and making the best selections for your; CrossFit BOX or HOME GYM, the RIG is a crucial component. Whilst each BOX has varying requirements, the RIG is required in a class situation for many of the fundamental CrossFit movements.
Movements Performed On A CrossFit Rig.
- Pull Ups
- Chin Ups
- Muscle Ups
- Toes To Bar (T2B)
- Ring Exercises
- Rope Climbs
- Front & Back Squats
- Bench Press
Flexibility And Functionality
Flexibility and functionality will be largely dependant on the space available and the maximum class size. Features such as safety bars and dipping stations can be incorporated with ease, as can variable height pull up bars.
Getting The Design Right
So you know how big your classes are, and are clear about programming and the way you want your RIG to complement the essence of your BOX. Before you design your ideal RIG, here are some questions that might be useful to consider.
- Would it help to visualise the RIG in-situ prior to manufacture?
- Are you likely to grow Membership in the future?
- Can you relocate the RIG if you needed to move?
- Can you add to, or adapt the RIG once installed?
- Would it help to visualise the RIG in-situ prior to manufacture?

I've read loads of manuscripts that start out funny or entertaining or full of potential. Then the dialogue kicks in and, quite frankly, it's a birdy's breakfast. Nothing will baffle an editor faster than poorly tagged dialogue. Do not overlook this if you want your manuscript to win friends and influence people. If you want editors and publishers…Read More
Here's where writers often stuff up. (Part Two of yesterday's post)
When I worked in publishing, I was surprised by the number of unsolicited manuscripts that had wonky tense. Not the occasional transgression. They crop up in most manuscripts. I'm talking about tense that was a bit like time travel. Totes all over the place, girlfriend. Past, present, here, there, everywhere. Now, when I teach IRL (in real life),…Read More

Mineral Nutrition of Livestock, 4th Edition
by Neville F. Suttle
September 2010
The fourth edition of this important book covers the advances in livestock mineral nutrition, updated with more illustrations and additional material on the relationship between livestock and man. Recent developments are discussed, such as increasing the 'mineral value' of feeds by the use of additives and enhancing mineral availability through the use of organic sources of trace elements. The concept of the 'mineral footprint' of livestock production is introduced and methods of mineral feeding that lower environmental pollution are presented. Opportunities and problems in manipulating the mineral content of livestock to improve the mineral status of consumers are also addressed. The book is an essential resource for researchers and students in animal nutrition, agriculture and veterinary medicine, and a useful reference for those concerned with human nutrition and environmental protection.

An estimated 17.6 million orphans are waiting for us to do something. In the United States, more than 100,000 children are waiting for a family. Our goal is simple: DECREASE THAT NUMBER—even if it's just by ONE child.

Pastor & Leader reviews:
Fourth World was an eye opening experience into the lost, and often overlooked world of orphans throughout the world. As Christians we need to be reminded that we too were once orphans in desperate need of a loving Father.
- Randy Shultz, Teaching Pastor, Temecula Hills Christian Fellowship
David Bolt's film Fourth World is a triumph for adoption of orphans. It resonated deeply and emotionally with my wife and I as adoptive parents. Fourth World speaks up for God's love for orphans. Fourth World is a must see!
-Craig Poston, Ph.D., Director of Global Church Ministries
"Fourth World is a moving depiction of the reality that many children face around the world. It is a call to action for Christians to follow Him into the messy, scary world of caring for the orphan. If you have those in your church who are praying about adoption or foster care or if you have a passion to lead your church to care for the orphan as Christ has commanded us, I would highly recommend showing 'Fourth World' to your congregation as a means of piercing through the unknown and stirring them to action."
- James Blankenship - Sr. Pastor, Sand Hill Baptist Church, Ellisville, MS

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Turnovers, and a lot of them. It seemed like every other drive, Latin's quarterback threw an interception or one of their players fumbled the ball – all of these recovered promptly by the Knights. The defense's stellar performance played a large part in the 34-0 win against Charlotte Latin.
Friday was the first time the two teams met since last year's state championship game. Undoubtedly, there was lingering animosity between the long-time rivals and the Knights were determined to come out on top this time. Our team expected to win, but the margin left everyone, including them, a bit shocked.
On the opening kickoff, freshman Chip Kasay returned the ball 96-yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, junior JT Killen scooped up a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown. On a night honoring the graduating class, the seniors left their mark. Justus Woods found the end zone twice and Terrelle Brown caught a long pass which he ran in for a touchdown.
"It's crazy that it was my last regular season home game. It feels like just yesterday I was a freshman watching senior night and now my night has passed. It's awesome to realize how far me and the rest of the guys have come since then," says Justus. "And it made it even better that we shut out Latin."
The game was a wonderful showcase of what is departing and all that has yet to come. While the senior class boasts many talented players, on Friday night the underclassman – namely Chip Kasay and Henry Rutledge – showed that there is a lot in store for the Charlotte Christian football program…for years to come.
But, everyone will always remember the class of 2018.

Opportunity Creator: Feedback
What if you knew exactly what you needed to do to get that promotion you're chasing?
What if you knew what to do to become the best at what you do?
Isn't that the type of information most people would kill for?
One of the most important things I learned at my first "corporate" job was to seek feedback. I had an amazing manager who understood the importance of feedback for career advancement. And she made sure that I never took it for granted by reminding me over and over again that "feedback is a gift."
But she isn't the only one who considers feedback a gift. Cal Newport, author of So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love, writes about the importance of "embracing honest feedback—even if it destroys what you thought was good" to make progress in your career. He goes on to share the story of Alex Berger, a successful TV writer, who was "humiliated" by the writing he submitted for review early in his career, but "recognizes that the continuous and harsh feedback he received accelerated the growth of his ability."
In the beginning, Alex had no idea what these producers were looking for in a TV script. But thanks to the feedback he was getting, he was able to give them exactly what they wanted only a few years into his career. Now consider that you may be doing something that's keeping you from advancing in your career. But no one has ever told you about it. Don't you want to know now what it is, so you can make changes and get on a faster track to reach your goals?
As mentioned in Alex's story, feedback isn't always the most fun thing in the world to get. It can feel both humiliating and harsh, especially when it's unexpected. There's nothing as jolting as when your boss makes a comment about something you need to improve. Or worse, he sits you down to talk about a task or project where you failed.
First, you're angry or resentful that your hard work isn't being appreciated. It feels like all they do is criticize you for small mistakes, instead of recognizing that you do great work. Then maybe you start to doubt your abilities. What if you're just not good at this job? What if you're not good enough to get that promotion you've hoped for?
Instead of heading down a rabbit hole of anger or doubt, you can flip the switch on how you receive feedback. You can learn to benefit from the feedback you receive, instead of letting your reaction to it take over. And that starts by understanding how feedback really affects you.
According to recent neuroscience research, "our brains and bodies can respond to certain interpersonal situations the same way we react to literal threats to our physical safety. Psychologists refer to these experiences as 'social threats.'" So your reaction to be angry or upset is completely normal. Your brain is trying to protect you, to warn you about a potential threat. Understanding that this is what your brain is doing, you can start to move past your initial reaction of being threatened and start to process the feedback you've received.
To benefit from the feedback you're processing, you need to see it in a positive light. If you think of feedback as strictly criticism and a way for people to be jerks, then you won't gain anything from it. But if, instead, you view feedback as an opportunity to learn and improve, you have a chance to pull value from it. Remember Alex's story. Sure, at first he was embarrassed about receiving feedback, but it was that feedback that sped up his success as a TV writer.
Better yet, view feedback for what it is: a career advantage you can give yourself. Others tend to focus on working hard and (aimlessly) hope that they're doing what they need to reach their goals. Asking for and receiving feedback is uncomfortable, so most people avoid it. You, on the other hand, will focus on receiving all the feedback you can get to ensure that you're on the path to reaching your goals.
If you want to get better at receiving feedback, then you might try what Buffer suggests: ask for feedback often. Don't let it catch you off guard. Be proactive about asking for feedback. Make it a habit. The more feedback you receive, the easier it will get to move past your initial reaction and move towards learning from it.
So this week, why not try asking for feedback. This could be feedback from your manager, your colleagues or mentors. You might be surprised how insightful your co-workers can be when you ask them to genuinely share their perspective with you. To make it easier, be sure that you ask someone you feel comfortable with, that you trust. And don't be this guy...
When asking for feedback, start by putting the other person at ease. With your boss, let him/her know that you are dedicated to doing well in your job and that you'd like some feedback on what you could be doing to make his or her job easier. If you put it in the perspective that you're trying to help them, they'll be less likely to feel uncomfortable about providing feedback.
With your colleagues or mentors, choose a location where they'll be at ease. Take them to lunch or for coffee and let them know that you'd love to get their advice on some questions you have about work. By framing it as asking for advice instead of feedback, they'll be more inclined to share without feeling like they'll offend you in any way.
Then put on your big girl panties or big boy boxers (or boxer-briefs) because even when you're prepared to receive feedback, it's not easy. Just remember that the information you get will help you move forward in your career. Also, keep in mind that you chose this person because you know they want to honestly help you succeed.
Now stand tall and go set something setup with your boss, co-workers or mentors. Don't let fear keep you from using feedback as an advantage in building a career you love.
Who are you going to reach out to?

2017 Middle & Upper School Retreats
North Cobb Christian School kicked off the 2017-2018 school year with the annual Middle and Upper School Retreats. The retreats are designed to allow the students to interact with classmates and teachers through activities, group time, special speakers, and worship. Both groups competed in Color Wars (Upper School) and Tribe Wars (6th-8th grade), participated in worship, enjoyed outdoor recreation time, and heard from key speakers. With the Middle School (6th-8th grade) at Woodlands in Cleveland, GA, fifth graders at Cherokee YMCA, and Upper School at Shocco Springs in Talladega, AL, the retreats were a unique experience away from the walls of NCCS.
Nathan Wright, NCCS Student Life Director, described the time on retreats as "always a special time each year, and this year was no different. When you take a second and zoom out, you realize that these moments turn to memories that will stick with our students throughout their whole lives. It'd be hard to pack in any more fun on these retreats. It's an undertaking, but it's so worth it. In addition to the connections and relationships students built upon with other students and teachers, students were able to take time to draw closer to the Lord. We had around ten students that came to life in Jesus for the first time, as they trusted Him as their Savior. You can't put words around that." Each group returned to NCCS expressing the desire to continue to have open hearts for God's path and to continue to keep the feeling of community that was cultivated at retreat alive when they returned to school.

Kindergarten Searches for Pete the Cat!
On the first day of school this year, our Kindergarten students read the book, "Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes." Here's what happened next according to our K5 teachers...
Third Day in Third Grade
Third grade students celebrated their "Third Day in Third Grade!" with activities centered around the number 3. In math, they added three numbers and practiced skip counting by three and in Bible, they studied the Holy Trinity. They also talked about three things they would like to learn this year, three wishes they have for the year, and three reasons why 3rd grade ROCKS! They wrapped up the day by sharing their "Three About Me" bags. Students worked on decorating and filling their bags at home with three items that best described them. Then they practiced their public speaking skills by sharing them with the class, which helped them see how much they have in common. It was a great day of "thirds and threes.". They are all so excited about the love, learning and laughter (that's three more!) that they will experience this year!
Celebrating Summer Birthdays in Lower School
During the first chapel of the school year students with summer birthdays were celebrated and received Birthday Brag Tags!
K4 Teddy Bear Picnic
On the final day of their Teddy Bear/ Back to School thematic unit K4 classes celebrated an awesome start of the school year with a Teddy Bear Picnic! Each student brought a Teddy bear to school that morning. The Teddy Bears participated with their owners in some very entertaining Teddy bear themed games, activities and songs. They even did the "Teddy Bear Pokey!" After that, they sat on picnic blankets and snacked on Teddy Grahams while watching a Teddy Bear movie. Such a fun way to celebrate in K4!

Well here it is, my baby blanket pattern number one (I don't have a name for it yet – suggestions very welcome!). Now this picture is not the best, I know (it's the colour of the wool) but I do like this pattern. You'll just have to trust me! This pattern is designed to be a lot smaller than a normal blanket, specifically so that it can fit easily in a pram or buggy. Length can be adjusted. I've used DK wool and 4mm needles.
K1 – knit 1
P1 – Purl 1
CB4 – slip the first 2 sts onto a double pointed needle, K next 2 sts then K the 2 sts on the double pointed needle. This forms the Cable.
T2R – K into front of 2nd st, then K into front of 1st st, slip 2 sts onto the right needle together.
T2L – insert right needle tip from the back between the sts to K into 2nd st, then K into the 1st st. Slip 2 sts onto the right needle together
Cast on 112 sts
Row 1: (k1, P1) to end
Row 2: (P1, K1) to end
Repeat these 2 rows once more.
Main Pattern:
Row 1: K1, P1, K1, P1, K2, P1 (T2R, P1, K4, P1, T2R, P1) 8 times, K3, P1, K1, P1
Row 2: P1, K1, P1, K1, P2 (K1 T2L, K1, P4, K1, T2L) 8times, K1, P3, K1, P1, K1
Row 3: repeat row 1
Row 4: repeat row 2
Row 5: K1, P1, K1, P1, K2, P1 (T2R, P1, CB4, P1, T2R, P1) 8 times, K3, P1, K1, P1
Row 6: repeat row 2
These rows form the main body of the blanket. Repeat these rows 20 more times (or 2cms from your desired length).
Repeat the 4 rows of the Border.
Cast off loosely.

MoF reviews law on public asset management and use
An overview of the conference (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Finance (MoF) held a conference in Hanoi on May 16 to examine the one-year implementation of the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets. At the conference, Deputy Minister of Finance Tran Xuan Ha said the law has built a proper legal basis for the tight and effective management and use of financial sources from public assets. In the time ahead, the ministry plans to employ a series of measures to boost the effectiveness of management. La Van Thinh, head of the MoF's Department of Public Asset Management, pointed to a number of shortcomings in the field. He said certain types of assets and related areas still lack specific regulation documents due to the broad scope of Vietnam's public assets that involve different subjects in their management and use. Meanwhile, only about 50 percent of all ministries, sectors, and localities issue standards and quotas for the use of specialised space … [Read more...] about MoF reviews law on public asset management and use

Future growth of ASEAN airports to be heavily driven by digital transformation: Frost & Sullivan
As per a recent survey conducted by Frost & Sullivan among airport industry stakeholders globally, on the importance of digitisation at airports, majority of the respondents replied in favour of such a program. 28 percent agreed that airport digitization is a key pillar in their growth strategy, while 38 percent replied that it is the most important program at the airport, and remaining 30 percent mentioned that airport digital transformation is umbrella term grouping all projects but not a separate program and barely 4 percent mentioned that they didn't focus on it at all. "KLIA1 and KLIA2 are the most mature ecosystems as airport terminals in Malaysia and they are at the right threshold to explore the full benefits of digital transformation of airports, whilst increasing efficiency, comfort and convenience at the same time delivering a unique experience," said Amartya De, Associate Director, Aerospace & Defense Practice at Frost & Sullivan.
