Canada announces greater protection for law enforcement, service and military animals
Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced the introduction of the Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law), legislation that would ensure that those who harm law enforcement, service and Canadian Armed Forces animals face serious consequences.
Our Government recognizes the special role that these animals play in protecting our communities and improving the quality of life of Canadians. The proposed legislation is aimed at denouncing and deterring the willful harming of specially trained animals used to help law enforcement officers, persons with disabilities or the Canadian Armed Forces.
The introduction of this legislation fulfills a commitment made by our Government in the 2013 Speech from the Throne to recognize the daily risks taken by police officers and their service animals in their efforts to enforce the law and protect Canadians and communities. The legislation honours Quanto, a police dog who was stabbed to death while helping to apprehend a fleeing suspect in Edmonton, Alberta, in October 2013. Quanto had four years of decorated service and had participated in more than 100 arrests.
Quick Facts
- The legislation proposes Criminal Code amendments that would create a new offence specifically prohibiting the injuring or killing of animals trained and being used to help law enforcement officers, persons with disabilities or theCanadian Armed Forces.
- Persons convicted of such an offence could face up to five years' imprisonment, with a mandatory minimum sentence of six months in prison in cases where a law enforcement animal is killed while assisting a law enforcement officer in enforcing the law and the offence is prosecuted by indictment.
- If a law enforcement officer is assaulted or a law enforcement animal is injured or killed while on duty, the sentence for that offence would be served consecutively to any other sentence imposed on the offender arising out of the same event.
- The RCMP currently has 157 police service dogs in service across Canada: 135 are general duty profile dogs and 22 are detection profile dogs. They are used to help find lost persons, track criminals, and search for items such as narcotics, explosives and crime scene evidence. In addition to the RCMP, provincial and municipal police services across Canada have integrated police service dogs as part of their everyday service delivery in our communities.
- Canada Border Services Agency has 53 dog-and-handler teams that help to detect contraband drugs and firearms, undeclared currency, and food, plant and animal products.
- Correctional Services Canada uses dogs to help stop the flow of illicit drugs and contraband into federal correctional institutions. They have over 100 dog-and-handler teams across Canada.
- The Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law) applies to law enforcement animals, service animals and Canadian Armed Forces animals. In practical terms, dogs would be the primary animals protected by this new legislation given they are the animals most often trained and used to assist law enforcement officers and persons with disabilities. However, horses are also used by some police forces. Also other kinds of animals can be trained as service animals to assist people with disabilities. They all would be protected under the Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law).
- The development of the Justice for Animals in Service Act (Quanto's Law) is part of the Government's Plan for Safe Streets and Communities. This Plan focuses on tackling crime, enhancing victims' rights, and ensuring a fair and efficient justice system.
"This legislation also recognizes the vital role that service animals, such as guide dogs, play in helping persons with disabilities benefit from a better quality of life and lead more independent lives. This sends the message that violence against service animals is unacceptable and those who commit such callous acts will pay the consequences." – Prime Minister Stephen Harper

Knowledge about the short-term and long-term benefits of 'delayed cord clamping' is finally making it into practice. Midwives and in some cases obstetricians are realising the importance of allowing the placenta to finish circulating blood before intervening. I personally don't like the term 'delayed cord clamping' and prefer the term 'premature cord clamping' to describe the alternative practice. However, whatever you choose to call it, babies are benefitting from the practice. The main physiological benefits are summed up in a Cochrane review that concluded there were:
"…some potentially important advantages of delayed cord clamping in healthy term infants, such as higher birthweight, early haemoglobin concentration, and increased iron reserves up to six months after birth."
The review also notes that 'delayed clamping' is associated with an increased risk of jaundice in the newborn. However, a recent study by Mercer et al. (2017) found no association between 'delayed' cord clamping and jaundice. I also wonder whether giving an injection of syntocinon/syntometrine while the placenta is still circulating blood to the baby may influence the risk of jaundice. IV syntocinon/pitocin in labour has been linked to jaundice since the 1974s (do a google search for more research). All the studies in the Cochrane review were carried out in hospitals where the vast majority of women have an oxytocic injection for management of the third stage. I very rarely come across anything more than mild jaundice following a physiological birth. Anyone need a research topic?
Resuscitation and premature cord clamping
This post explores the the practice of premature clamping when a baby is perceived to need resuscitation. I often hear birth stories which include "They (or I) had to cut the cord because the baby needed resuscitation". In hospital-based neonatal resuscitation workshops practitioners are taught to 1. assess the baby, 2. summon help 3. clamp and the cut cord, 4. take the baby to resuscitaire, etc. For obvious reasons resuscitating a baby is stressful, and I understand the benefits for midwives and doctors of doing it on a nice neat, 'clean' area without worried parents watching and/or asking questions. However, this approach makes no sense if you consider the physiology of transition to extrauterine life, or the importance of the mother in the baby's transition and any necessary resuscitation.
The physiology of newborn transition
This is extremely complex and probably very boring for those not interested in science/physiology. So, if you want a full scientific version please see the article by Mercer and Skovgaard (2002). Here's the simple version…
The baby/placenta has a separate blood system from the mother. The placenta does the job of the lungs by exchanging gas (oxygen and carbon dioxide) via the intervillous space between the baby's and the mother's blood system. Before birth, a third of the baby/placenta blood volume is in the placenta at any given time to facilitate this gas exchange.
After birth the 'placental' blood volume is transferred through the pulsing cord into the baby increasing the baby's circulating blood volume. This has two major effects:
- Provides the extra blood volume needed for the heart to direct 50% of it's output to the lungs (8% before birth). This extra blood fills the capillaries in the lungs making them expand to provide support for the alveoli to open. It also aids lung fluid clearance from the alveoli. These changes allow the baby to breath effectively.
- Increases the number of circulating red blood cells which carry oxygen. This increases the baby's capacity to send oxygen around the body.
This transfer of blood volume from placenta to lungs takes place over a number of minutes following birth. Textbooks will tell you 3-7 minutes, but I have felt some cords pulse for longer than that. While these changes take place, oxygen continues to be provided by the placenta until the baby is ready to begin breathing. Stem cells are also transferred into the baby during this time. There is a theory, and some evidence that these stem cells play an important role in repairing any damage caused during birth. They may actually protect against cerebral palsy! Dr Mercer discusses this in more detail here. You can read my opinion on 'cord' blood collection in this post.
Most babies will initiate breathing quickly after birth and premature clamping of the cord will usually have no immediately noticeably effects. However, a recent study found that healthy self-breathing newborns are more likely to die or be admitted to SCN if cord clamping occurs before or immediately after onset of spontaneous breathing (Ersdal et al. 2014). Most babies are able to compensate for their lack of blood volume by readjusting their circulation to direct the smaller blood volume to the important organs. The effects of a reduced blood volume will be subtle but present (see the above Cochrane review). If you get a chance to hear Karen Strange speak about neonatal transition to extrauterine life – take it. She shows photos of the heel capillaries of a baby who has had premature cord clamping compared to a baby who has not. The small blood capillaries are collapsed – they have shut down in order to send the reduced blood volume to the important organs.
The need for resuscitation
There are two reasons that caregivers decide to abandon 'delayed cord clamping' and clamp/cut a cord in order to resuscitate a baby. In both cases this action creates difficulties for the baby. In the first it can actually create the need to resuscitate.
1. Lack knowledge, patience (and a bit of panic)
This often happens when a baby is slower to initiate breathing. The baby is still being oxygenated by the placenta but is waiting while the effects of an increased blood volume kick in. This is particularly common with waterbirth babies. These babies have good tone and slowly turn from bluish to pink. It can be difficult to even notice them begin to breathe. Their colour change may be the only obvious indication that they are making the transition. The cord pulses at the same rate as the baby's heart, so feeling (or watching) it will reassure you that all is well. Unfortunately the usual response to this situation is to clamp and cut the cord in order to resuscitate the baby. The outcome will be that baby responds to the interruption of placental flow and the stressful journey away from mother by crying. A worse outcome is that without the placental circulation the baby is unable to complete their transition and becomes a compromised baby requiring resuscitation (see below).
This film is of an outdoor birth (the mother didn't make it to her birth tent). The baby makes an unhurried transition supported by placenta circulation:
This baby is also able to make a gentle transition to breathing:
2. A compromised baby
This is a baby who has had a rough time during birth and might require a little external support to make the transition. This situation is often a result of interventions during birth such as directed pushing, artificial rupture of membranes, syntocinon/pitocin. It may also be a result of a tight nuchal cord reducing blood flow just before birth (a loose one does not do this). A compromised baby is floppy and heading from a blue colour to a white colour. They may also have passed meconium during the birth, and their heart rate is slow and/or dropping. This baby could probably do with a bit of help, but most importantly they need their placental circulation. While the cord is intact the baby is still receiving some oxygen, which is better than none. In addition, the extra blood volume and red blood cells will help to circulate any oxygen the baby gets into the lungs via external methods of resuscitation. You can see a very compromised baby being resuscitation with the placental circulation in this movie:
Here is another film of Rixa Freeze's surprise unassisted birth where she resuscitates her own baby. You can read the full birth story and see part1 on her blog. Rixa had learned newborn resuscitation:
Here is a film of an unassisted birth where a mother instinctively resuscitates her own baby:
The importance of the mother and family in resuscitation
It is important that the mother, father or any other significant person is involved in the resuscitation of a compromised baby.
For baby
A baby has spent months inside his mother and learned her voice and smell. She has also learned the voice of her father and/or other family members. To be held close, spoken to and stroked is often enough to initiate breathing. Even if further measures are needed, being held by her mother skin to skin, rather than being put on a flat resuscitaire has got to be nicer.
For mother, father and/or other family members
Being able to see and touch your baby is probably less stressful than having her 'worked on' over the other side of the room. Being involved in assisting the baby's transition reinforces the power of the parents. Fathers are often very proud to be the one who encourages baby's first breath by blowing gently in her face. In addition, mothers often instinctively know how to help their baby. I remember one mother telling me she felt her baby needed to be in a certain position on her chest. When she moved him his breathing regulated perfectly.
- Try and ensure that the baby does not arrive compromised by minimising unnecessary interventions.
- Do not clamp or cut the cord.
- Give the baby time to transition – if the cord is pulsing the placenta is providing oxygen… relax and reassure the mother if she needs reassurance.
- Do not clamp or cut the cord.
- If the baby requires assistance, start small – gentle stimulation, talking, blowing in his face (all can be done by a parent).
- Do not clamp or cut the cord.
- If further measures are needed, take the resuscitation equipment to the baby and resuscitate him in his mother's arms.
- Did I mention – Do not clamp or cut the cord.
Note: Routine suctioning of the baby is totally unnecessary, invasive and could potentially create problems by stimulating a vagal response (a drop in the heart rate).
I often hear that care providers are unable to perform resuscitation with the cord in tact in a hospital setting because of how the equipment is set up (ie. fixed to a wall). I think this will change. There is increasing awareness of the impact of premature cord clamping – lawyers are looking for claims. Paramedics in Queensland now resuscitate newborns without cutting their umbilical cord. If paramedics can do this in less than ideal settings, why can't hospital staff? Hospitals need to start making equipment/staff fit around the needs of the baby – not the other way around. An interesting qualitative study explored clinicians perceptions or neonatal resuscitation beside the mother (Yoxall et al. 2015). However, implementing an evidence based practice should not depend on clinicians perceptions of that practice.
Babies are born with their own resuscitation equipment. The placenta not only helps the baby to transition, but assists with resuscitation if needed. There is no reason to clamp and cut the cord of a baby who needs help. Doing so will create more problems for the baby and mother. Anything that needs to be done can be done with back-up from the placenta, and the involvement of the mother.

On Nuturing Hearts Birth Services' website you can see a sequence of amazing photos taken of a cord after birth as it finished transferring blood.
Nicholas Fogelson (Obstetrician) gives a very clear presentation of the research regarding premature clamping in a lecture. The ethics of the research is questionable but hopefully the findings will help to inform a change in practice.

Arsenal v Real Madrid legends: 5 things we learnt – Lehmann in, Cech out, why Boa Morte?
ARSENAL Legends overcame Real Madrid in a penalty shootout thriller at the Emirates – here's five things we learnt after the 0-0 draw.
Petr Cech hasn't enjoyed the best of starts to this season and Gunners fans would have taken great pride in watching Jens Lehmann show him how it's done.
The German goalkeeper was not messing around at half-time either, saving three penalties from Save the Children foundation. This proved good practice when he saved from Alfonso Perez in the penalty shootout.
In confident fashion, Lehmann then ushered Tomas Rosicky away so he could take the winning penalty which he dispatched in emphatic fashion to clinch Arsenal Legends the victory.
Luis Boa Morte managed to sneak his way into the Arsenal Legends starting line up despite only making 25 appearances for the club.
The former attacking midfielder made a much bigger impact in London when playing for Fulham and was capped 28 times by his country Portugal.
In fact, there were a few players fielded by Arsenal who are not widely considered as "legends" at the club. Jeremie Aliadiere scored just one goal for the Gunners in 29 games, while Pascal Cygan was perhaps best remembered for being a calamity in defence.
So what this really a legends match?
Robert Pires, left, Pat Rice enjoys a dressing room joke with Boa Morte
Mike Dean has hardly been a favourite at the Emirates Stadium over the years after being accused of "celebrating" Louis Saha's goal in the North London derby v Spurs in 2012.
The referee also publicly admitted that he made a mistake in awarding West Brom a penalty against the Gunners in their New Year's Eve clash at the Hawthorns in 2017.
But the official kept his cool and refused to spoil the occasion when he turned a blind eye to David Hillier's late tackle on Francisco Pavon, which easily could have been a red card.
Tomas Rosicky was denied the chance to win the match from the spot when the final penalty of the shootout was stolen by goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, all in good humour.
The Czech midfielder left the pitch to a standing ovation and remains a fans favourite at Arsenal despite an injury-plagued career.
His performance suggested there was still something left in his legs despite his retirement in 2017.
It was he who came closest to breaking the deadlock in the second half when his sweeping shot from Aliadiere's pass went wide of the mark.
Despite needing treatment 25 minutes in, Nigel Winterburn soldiered on to play the full 90 minutes at the age of 54.
It was clear to see that the former defender was knackered at the final whistle when he collapsed in a heap on the turf. He made 440 appearances for the club between 1987 and 2000.
Winterburn put in a performance to be proud of and played his part in keeping a clean sheet against the likes of Raul and Fernando Morientes.

Candy Cane Lane | £1.49
Hello Lovelies! I hope you're all well! I'm currently obsessed with candles and today I thought I'd review one of the said festive scents I've been loving - Candy Cane Lane. After hearing so many people rave about how lovely this candle is, I decided to finally give it a go, so I picked it up in tart form!
"A favourite Christmas place where delicious dreams are made with tingly peppermint, sweet cookies and creamy vanilla icing."
When I first smelt it, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it... As it's a minty scent, I thought it might be a little too overpowering when lit, but it's not at all! It's a really lovely combination of peppermint and vanilla which really reminds me of candy canes which I love! It's a little fresher than the other festive scents I have, which I really like because I'm not always in the mood for super sweet scents.
Overall, this is such a lovely scent and I've gone ahead and bought it in a big jar, I love it that much!
Have you tried Candy Cane Lane?

The Commerce Secretary Anup Wadhawan said the move would have a minimal economic impact and that Delhi was keeping retaliatory tariffs out of its talks with the US. Devina Gupta is in Delhi. This means that from here on now these goods will have to be under a duty and big exporters will have to shell out more money and in India the Commerce Secretary pointed out although it's about export 5.6 billion dollars, but the economic impact of that will only be about a hundred and nine million dollars. So it's not so significant if we look in terms of trade. But yes, thousands of jobs are at risk here in India.
A Japanese court has granted bail to the former automobile executive Carlos Ghosn who's been detained for more than three months on charges of financial misconduct. Merica Oria is in Singapore. The decision came as a surprise because in Japan bail is rarely granted unless you confess to the crimes you're accused of. And this is in fact his third request for bail. But he's recently changed his legal team and they've managed to succeed in getting him bail. It's not cheap though. A bail is set at one billion yen which is almost nine million US dollars, one of the highest in fact in Japan. Prosecutions are now appealing the decission. Remember he's facing allegations of financial misconduct. He's accused of underreporting his salary. He's also accused of transferring his investment losses onto Nisson all of which he denies. Merica Oria reporting from Singapore.
Wet winters are no longer a guide to the intensity of California wildfires. A study by international climate expert shows climate change is one of the factors ensuring that major fires can now happen in any year. Paul Rincon reports. Last year was California's most destructive wildfire season. Winter rains have been a guide to the intensity of fires in California for hundreds of years, but a new study shows that's no longer the case. More vegetation and dry conditions due to global warming now mean any year can have large fires. More effective efforts to tackle wildfires over the twentieth century mean this now more dry wood to burn regardless of a wet winter. As hot and dry conditions become more common globally, researchers say we can expect the number and intensity of wildfires to increase around the world. Paul Rincon reporting.

Platte basin timelapse
The Platte River Basin, located in America's Heartland is one of the most appropriated river systems in the world. Every drop of water is spoken for, and little is free. The basin supports an industrial agricultural powerhouse laid over one of the most endangered and altered grassland ecosystems on earth. Beneath the ground it harbors more than half of the mighty Ogallala Aquifer; fossil water whose quantity and quality are at stake. Today this basin is being asked to be both food producer and energy pump in an age of climate change and economic uncertainty.
In 2011 Michael Forsberg and veteran NET Nebraska producer Michael Farrell set off on a journey to put a Great Plains watershed in motion via time-lapse photography and multimedia storytelling. Currently, Platte Basin Timelapse (PBT) has more than 60 time-lapse cameras spread across the 90,000 square-mile basin, from its headwaters along the Continental Divide in the Colorado and Wyoming Rockies to the river's confluence with the Missouri River on Nebraska's eastern border. Each time-lapse camera tells one part of the story of that proverbial drop of water as it makes a journey of roughly 900 river miles through the heart of North America.
Latest Story
"A Trout with Feathers"
In the upper reaches of North America's watersheds, one will find a charismatic chunky gray bird dipping and diving underwater in clear, fast-flowing streams. This bird is called the American dipper and is North America's only aquatic songbird. Mike fell in love with the American dipper on a college fishing trip. After learning about these birds and their unique behaviors of dipping and diving underwater, he set out on a mission to document their natural history. This included photographing their behavior above water and below.
The links below will take you to an essay with a portfolio of images and short documentary film. We hope you enjoy.
Photo Essay: A Trout with Feathers
FILM: A Trout with feathers
great plains
From 2005-2009, Forsberg traveled 100,000 miles crisscrossing the Plains from Canada to Mexico working on a book called Great Plains: America's Lingering Wild.The main goal of the book project was to put a face on and build appreciation of what many from the outside looking in consider "flyover country." It explores the wildlife, habitats and conservation challenges in the heart of the continent. The Great Plains - America's Lingering Wild exhibition opened at Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska in February 2010. It has since traveled to locations across the United States.
In November 2012, the documentary film Great Plains-America's Lingering Wild was released on NET, Nebraska's PBS television station. It was released to a national audience by PBS in September, 2013. In the film, Forsberg examines what wildness remains in the Great Plains of North America. Featuring brilliant and stunning imagery, Forsberg meets a host of dedicated people working to keep the wildness alive. The documentary is a co-production of NET Television and Michael Forsberg Photography.
Sandhill cranes
In 1999, Forsberg embarked on a five-year personal mission to photograph and write a book documenting the migration of Sandhill Cranes, On Ancient Wings: The Sandhill Cranes of North America. His goal was to connect the lives of the cranes and their habits across the continent from western Alaska to Cuba.
Self-published in 2004, the book was the result of a five-year personal journey of 65,000 miles, 1,000 rolls of film, three 100-page journals, two file drawers jammed full of research and 13 locations in four countries. With stunningly beautiful photography, On Ancient Wings and its accompanying exhibition presents sandhills in their wild, but increasingly compromised habitats today.
Forsberg was also included in the PBS documentary Crane Song, which weaves together striking visuals and majestic sounds of the sandhill cranes' journey with the stories and insights of the people who observe these creatures, as well as landowners endeavoring to ensure a habitat that is welcoming to cranes.

Infiniti have just released images of their new concept, and have named their Love-child (noticed a theme of love yet today?) ETHEREA...
As we predicted it's a hatchback/coupé style concept aimed at the younger luxury buyer, featuring styling cues first seen on the 'Essesnce' concept, noticeably the crescent shaped C-pillar.
Infiniti suggest it combines elements of coupé, sedan, hatchback and even crossover. The only thing missing from that list is the kitchen sink, however I can see all of the above styled in this rather unique concept bundle.
It's truly beautiful, and if they actually made a car in which the grille lit up purple - i'd buy it for that juvenile boy racer gimmick alone haha!

I've just come from this mornings self-practice. I managed to get through the foundation series really well, and my Sirsasana was much better, but unfortunately my back is playing up. As you know, I suffer chronic back pain however some days just seem to be more severe than others. Today is one of those days. Surya Namaskara was a big challenge this morning however it's such a wonderful way to start warming up the body before intensifying your practice with the asanas which follow. My back seemed to be playing games with me this morning. For some asanas it would release beautifully, like Parivritta Janu Sirsasana, whilst for others it was like wedging a blunt sword in my lumbar. Ouch!
This has nothing to do with my practice though. My bed is a little hard here at the apartments, and I only have one pillow which has zero support. I'm going to ask for a couple more pillows - one to possibly place under my back when I sleep tonight. It's not ideal, but it can really help at times.
Aside from the back, I really enjoyed this mornings practice. I love how intense the energy can become in a room which is completely silent. All you can here is people inhaling and exhaling as they move between the asanas and hold themselves in more challenging postures. It's nice to be a part of that energy - to be part of a group of people who are committed to deepening their practice through exploring and playing with their bodies. it's really nice.
For a number of people in class, in fact over two thirds, they will be leaving Mysore at the end of this week. For me, there is no way I would feel I have come far enough in my practice to go back and teach. I'm only just warming up (as crazy as that sounds). As much as I miss home, I would feel like I have ripped myself off a little if I came all this way and stopped here. Really happy with my decision for the 500+ hours, as challenging as it will be.
Enjoy this beautiful day.
Parivritta Janu Sirsasana

Computer extracts cancer stage
November 13, 2015 | Paul Govern
Cancer stage, an important element in prognosis, is often documented in narrative form in medical records, which leads to time-consuming abstraction by tumor registry personnel and other secondary users of these records.
Jeremy Warner, M.D., M.S., and colleagues developed a computerized natural language processing algorithm to extract cancer stages from electronic medical records. Records from 2,323 lung cancer patients were used to train and test the algorithm, and accuracy was evaluated as records from successively longer periods were processed — one week after diagnosis, two weeks, and so on up to 26 weeks.
The researchers report in the Journal of Oncology Practice that as new information is obtained and as multiple clinicians work to forge consensus, medical records, especially those from early in the course of treatment, may reflect ambiguity regarding stage.
Accuracy of the algorithm surpassed 50 percent within six weeks of diagnosis, and within 14 weeks reached 90 percent, despite that more than 80 percent of the records were found to harbor conflicting information about stage.
Warner was joined in the study by Mia Levy, M.D., Ph.D., and Michael Neuss, M.D.

Clear And Present Facilitation
"Listen to Understand."
To listen authentically, one needs to listen to understand as opposed to listening to respond. In order to do this, the design workshop facilitator needs to be cognizant of their own strengths and weaknesses. The design workshop facilitator focuses on the end users and the end users' observations, questions, and interviews to insure that the app that is built is relevant to the people it serves.
Many tenets of theater and improvisation have important tools that support authentic listening. If you think about a favorite scene in a play or in a movie one of the reasons the scene is successful is because the actors and improvisers know that the most important person on stage, is not themselves but their scene partners.
For the design workshop facilitator, ostensibly, your scene partners are the end users or the customers. Only by truly listening to the end users will you all be able to create a relevant app.
Conference Calls are meetings too.
With the miracle of the internet comes the ability to have daily meetings in present time from far corners of the planet. And yet. I notice that people think conference calls are a chance to do errands, take a walk or eat a big lunch.
Conference calls are meetings too. They deserve the respect of preparation and attention that all meetings get.

Where You Should Move to Make the Most Money: America's Superstar Cities
A tech-driven concentration of talent since the 1980s has helped the rich get richer. But it has also sharpened an urban-rural divide that, some say, threatens growth.
Technology is creating an economy in which superstar employees work for superstar firms that gather them into superstar cities, leading to a stark geographic concentration of wealth unlike any seen in the past century.
The latest example of this is Apple announcing this past week a billion-dollar investment in a new campus that could ultimately...

Sagittarius New Moon: Stay Woke/
The new moon is exact on Tuesday, November 29th at 7:18 am EST, at 7 degrees of Sagittarius.
In the sign of Sagittarius, the moon is truthful, philosophical, wise, generous, and optimistic. Sagittarius is, of all the signs, the least xenophobic. That's because Sagittarius is the wanderer, the traveler--one who seeks to learn not just one small-minded idea about the truth, but all truths from all kinds of people. We need that kind of wisdom now.
It's been three insane weeks since the election. The entire world watched a corrupt real estate developer with no government experience who ran on a platform of xenophobia and lies win the United States presidential election by a slim electoral college margin, while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a landslide. Citizens across the country have been protesting. Hate crimes have increased significantly. Trump chose Steve Bannon, white supremacist and architect of the propaganda machine Breitbart News, as his Chief Strategist. Nazis, who are calling themselves "the alt-right" but are literal Nazis, celebrated Trump's election at a convention in D.C. The New York Times reported on Trump's unprecedented financial conflicts of interest in foreign countries and the ways in which he has already been capitalizing on his political power. I could go on. But I don't have to tell you. We've all been living through this since November 8th.
It has to be said that for many, America was not the Land of the Free before November 8th either. The murders of innocent black people - even children - by police was a cause for outrage. The militarization of police against Native American activists on the Dakota Access Pipeline is cause for outrage, and so are the many hate crimes against American Muslims that were already happening. Immigrants attempting to acquire legal status did not have it easy before this election. Women feared sexual violence before a rapist became president-elect.
But now everything is so much worse. If you have absolute faith that our democratic institutions will keep this presidency from becoming a dictatorship, that people will keep their civil rights, because it's illegal to be a dictator in America, and American democracy is exceptional - wake up! It will take a massive resistance to maintain our freedoms now. White supremacy is being normalized under the rebrand "alt-right", and putting white supremacy at the center of our politics makes all of us radicals. We need to stay woke.
This Sagittarius new moon should wake you. It should drive you to action. And action is inherently optimistic. Despite the darkness of this post - I apologize for my gloom of late - I believe in maintaining hope. Resistance is optimistic. We demonstrate, by resisting, that our actions can create change.
One way to resist, at this new moon, is to tell the truth. Be blunt, just like a Sagittarius. The moon squares potentially deceptive Neptune, forming a T-square with the North Node. The empty opposite sign, of Gemini, is a sign that at it's worst can resort to gossip and lies. Our president-elect is lying. He began this political journey by inspiring the racist birther conspiracy about President Obama, he made outrageous claims in his campaign, including his claim that Obama founded ISIS, he spread propaganda that protesters were "professional" to make people doubt the reality of protests against him, and now he's spreading a lie that Clinton won the popular vote because of "illegal voting." When people water down the discussion with terms like "alt-right" and "post-truth" and "conflicts of interest", be blunt: the alt-right are white supremacists, post-truth is lying, and conflicts of interest are corruption. Let the north node in Virgo direct you toward precision. Precision, facts, and truth will be the tools of resistance.
On the flip side, Gemini can be an appreciation for new ideas, conversations with others, keeping an open mind. And the dark side of Sagittarius is dogma, thinking one has found the only Truth. So at this new moon, we use the better part of Sagittarius -- the philosopher -- and the better part of Gemini -- the communicator -- to learn, teach, and speak. Refuse to be silent. Resist. This place isn't named Rebel Astrology for nothing.

Good morning, Trench Dwellers!
Spring Break has come to an end, and I am back to the daily chaos. While I was away, we had a wonderful guest, Robin Helget, from My Rise Story. She shared such beautiful, brave stories that I hope you read. You can find both stories on our blog, and be sure to check our Robin's jewelry line on Etsy.
This week, we start our next series, Through It All, with Barb and Katie. At the age of seventeen, Katie became pregnant and made the ultimate heart-wrenching decision to give her daughter up for adoption. Katie and her mother, Barb, share the journey through the decision that changed their lives.
Have you visited our new volunteer page? Get more information about joining the SFTT team: www.storiesfromthetrenches.org/volunteer.
We also want to offer a sneak peak at upcoming themes and series, so you can see where your brave trench story fits. See what's coming up and share your story: www.storiesfromthetrenches.org/stories.
Jen G.
Founder, Stories from the Trenches
Jen's Journal
The week before we left for spring break, Tim was told at work that he would be traveling overseas again. This time, he will be gone during Eli's birthday. The four of us have never been apart during this anniversary. In fact, we go out of way to be together to remember and celebrate Eli. The news of Tim's traveling hit all of us hard, so I'm grateful that we had this past week of time together.
I'm not sure what the girls and I will do, so I'm praying for a big idea that won't make us feel like we have two people missing on such an important day. How do you celebrate the life of someone you lost?
Recent Stories and Resources
Additional Resources: Abuse & PTSD
This week, we heard two stories from Robin Helget of myrisestory.com—stories of her journey through the trenches of abuse, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. We hope these additional resources offer strength and encouragement to those who are also in these trenches, no matter how far along you are. Please feel free to leave additional suggestions in the comments!
Trusting Pain, Trusting Love
Avoidance. Something I know down to my very core. The art of running.
Ah, running. I have a love/hate relationship with that, too. I run to feel a release. I run to avoid the emotions that get caught up in my daily mundane tasks of the 9-to-5 job. I run to feel a physical pain that, no matter how terribly it hurts, is often less than my emotional pain. It somehow covers up the darkening of my soul and the solidification of my heart to where my insides end up looking like a black hole. Maybe I've always been a runner, figuratively.
Finding Myself Amidst the Clutter
Two o'clock in the morning. My mind pops awake, and the thoughts of what I should have done and what I could do better (the thoughts I avoid during the day and push to the side) come barreling in at full force like a bull coming out of its cage. The thoughts spin in a cycle, as if they are on a merry-go-round going around and around, only to wave at me as they are going past, never taking the time to stop and get off so I could have a moment of rest.

My little girl is the baby in our family. The youngest of four, with 3 doting big brothers. She is fiercely loved by her brothers, and I sleep easier at night knowing they will have her back all the days of their lives.
But please do not let one of them pick her up from your class on Sundays.
While they would never do anything to hurt her or put her in harms way, Westside is a big church, and being in charge of a little girl is a big responsibility.
It's policy. A rule, and not just a guideline. (Check out Kimi's post about Rules vs. Guidelines!) And as both a parent and a leader, it's one I'm grateful we have.
Yesterday while I was serving in one of the Kindergarten classrooms a "big" brother, tag in hand, attempted to pick up his little brother, and it reminded me of the numerous times one of my boys attempted the same with little sister. He wasn't thrilled when I informed him of our rule, but I'm so much more concerned about the safety of our kids and knowing it was in the best interest of both big and little brother, I was able to do so in love and with grace.
(Mom thanked me when she finally caught up with them!)
And, then there's the security sticker. Have you heard this tag line before?
If you've been a part of the Kids Ministry Team for very long, it's likely you've heard it at least once. While this isn't how we remind parents of our policy rule, it is the tagline we use to help reinforce the seriousness of our policy between team members.
Below is a reminder on our policy, outlined in the Family Ministry Volunteer Handbook.
Thank you for continuing to make Westside a safe and fun place for kids to learn about Jesus!
Drop off/Pick-Up Safety Standards:
- Greet family with a warm welcome. If you know the child or can clearly read their tag, greet them by name.
- Encourage parents to release child at the door rather than entering the classroom. (guideline)
- Make sure the child is wearing a nametag. (rule)
- Collect the second nametag and adhere it to the attendance sheet.
- Only release children to adults WITH a matching security stub. No exceptions. No tag. No kid. No kidding.
- Remove the nametag sticker from the child, matching it to the secuirty sticker and then adhering next to their sticker on the attendance sheet.
- If a parent does not have the security stub, they must return to a manned check-in kiosk for assistance in reprinting their security stub before picking up the child.
*If you suspect that a child is in the wrong age group, or you are concerned with the amount of children in your group, admit them to your room/group and then contact the coach, who will work out the details and alert the parents if the child needs to be moved.

This summer, the First Congregational Scholarship Committee was excited to provide scholarships to the following college students: Kevin Noble, Abigail Labreque, Emma Kukuk, Mina Kukuk and Meghan Schulz.
Dear FCCBC,
I am so grateful for the existence of the FCCBC scholarship. My senior year of college is quickly approaching which means that the writing of my senior thesis on German theologian Rudolf Otto is also swiftly approaching. As I gear up to write my thesis, there are many, many books awaiting to be purchased, as well as deconstructed by my multi-colored highlighters and sticky notes.
Thank you so much to the scholarship committee for selecting me as a recipient, to all that made and continue to make this scholarship possible and to FCCBC as a whole for the continued support.
Ever since I was a baby in the nursery, I have been blessed with this community whose generosity knows no end.
Much love and appreciation,
Abbey Labrecque
First Congregational was also able to provide scholarships for students attending Camp Talahi this summer.
Dear Congregational Church,
Thank you for helping to fund my Camp Talahi experience! I had a great time and made tons of friends! I really appreciate your help. I am forever grateful and hope that I can go again next year!
Kaitlyn Lawhead.

Silver bells, silver bells. It's Christmas time in the capital city.
At the Nebraska State Capitol Rotunda on Sunday, dozens of Nebraskans gathered for the 71st annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
The ceremony was complete with musical performances from the Waverly Singers, Concordia Handbell Choir, Lincoln Public Schools All City Girls Chorus and Norris High School students. In addition, Gov. Pete Ricketts delivered his Christmas message. He encouraged the audience to celebrate what he calls the true meaning of Christmas.
"What are we doing to make sure we are in the spirit by serving the people in our community who need our help. By loving those people who need our love. Because that is what the spirit is about," said Ricketts.
Blinking bright red and green
Gov. Ricketts was joined by the children in the audience to officially illuminate the tree donated by Ron and Katherine Benson from St. Edward, Nebraska.
In honor of Nebraska's sesquicentennial, 169 new ornaments designed by Nebraska artists decorated this year's tree. Each ornament is in the shape of the state and represents Nebraska agriculture, landmarks and history.
Images and descriptions of each ornament will be available online after Christmas at nebraska.gov.
Soon it will be Christmas day.

The start of the new year is always a time to try to get organized. Notice I said try! I'm still trying. My organization tends to fall off the rails when I get distracted by making things cute. In my attempt to organize my office space I ended up at Ikea buying a new cabinet. That led me to doing a mini makeover to the cabinet with some personalized knobs. It was super simple using art supplies I had on hand and I love how they turned out. Definitely reflects my quirky imperfect style!Read More

It's time for another Junque Art Studio Play™ video! (Formerly Fast Forward Art Play™) It's really all about playing, having fun, and discovering new things. I try to make time several times a week to play and explore in my art journal. To get in the "play" state of mind I find it helps when I limit my time to 30 minutes or less. When my time is limited I tend to not over think things and just let things happen. (Most of the time anyway.)Read More

The following entry within the Reigns series is coming this fall, and it is a large one. Just like with tower protection and sports video games, there is a good probability you've your favourite RPG that you've already invested loads of time (and possibly cash) in already. Slogging by way of development, the crew managed to put out an early entry launch on Steam, where players from all around the world might test the game.
Runner-ups embrace environmentally centered mini-games, Ecoverse, created by 14-12 months-old Dakota; Symphony, a platform rhythm game created by 17-yr-old Erin, Palette, an educational painting recreation designed by 17-year-previous Lauren, and self-id adventure game, The Different Realm, created by 14-yr-previous Lily.
Though Fares mentioned the game would allow people to play online with their friends, the concept is for folks to play collectively on their couches. And whereas games like XCOM set a high customary for graphics, it is powerful to ignore the retro-model awesomeness of a sport like Faster than Mild.
Players can battle till their units are destroyed – then respawn and carry on going. The AR sport uses geolocation to allow gamers struggle aliens of their environment. This teaching approach—of teaming college students with professional sport programmers and developers who code with students on their projects—is unique to NYFA and certainly one of our most popular options.
Slingshot is a two dimensional, flip based simulation-technique recreation set in the gravity fields of several planets. If you've obtained a newer system, crank those settings to the max and enjoy probably the greatest wanting mobile video games I've performed in a long while.
