Lady Katherine. That's how I think of her whenever I think of her – Lady Katherine. Perhaps she was a even a princess at one time.
I don't exactly recall the occasion, it may well have been the collation following her great-grandfather's funeral. The family gathered, all dressed in their Sunday best, with prayer and a light repast being served. The solemnities of the day bore no weight upon the spirit of my Lady Katherine; how could they – after all she was only about four years old.
Forbidden any playthings the children of the group resorted to fancy. Like leaves in a whirlwind they swirled through the forest of grown-ups. Let's play pretend. As I sat there observing and trying to decipher the gist of the game Lady Katherine strode up, and standing four-square before me boldly drew forth an invisible sword and right then and there, laying it across both my shoulders, dubbed me a knight.
She quickly withdrew, unwittingly striking a deep chord upon my heartstrings – a chord so deep that, to this very day, I weep at the memory of it. Lady Katherine had made me her knight.
As a former soldier I carry a lifelong burden of guilt, shame and doubt. She touched me in a way she can never comprehend; as I cannot comprehend it myself. For all that a man is, and all that a man should be, it is all I'd ever needed or wanted.
As a man and an old soldier no accolades or honors could ever surpass being knighted by that sweet little girl. I would die for Lady Katherine – I would lay down my life and gladly for her. I love her, now and forever, to the depths of my soul.
Lady Katherine is a young woman now and has her own life to live; but my wish for her is to have all the health, wealth and happiness a true lady rightly deserves.

Picture this: you have written an essay. You researched the topic and carefully constructed your argument. You submit your essay online and receive your grade within seconds. But how can anyone read, comprehend, and judge your essay that quickly?
Well, the answer is no one can. Your essay was marked by a computer. Would you trust the mark you received? Would you approach your next essay with the same effort and care?
These are the questions that parents, teachers and unions are asking about automated essay scoring (AES). The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) proposes to use this program to grade essays, like persuasive writing questions, in its NAPLAN standardized testing scheme for primary and secondary schools.
Algorithms don't know whether a text has any worth or relationship to our world at all.
ACARA has defended its decision and suggested that computer-based marking can match or even surpass the consistency of human markers.
In my view, this misses the point. Computers are unable to genuinely read and understand what a text is about. A good argument has little worth when marks are awarded by a structural comparison with other texts and not by judging its ideas.
More importantly though, we risk encouraging the writing of text that follows "the script" but essentially says nothing of worth. In other words, the writing of "bullshit."
It's not entirely clear how AES functions, but let's assume, in line with previous announcements, that it employs a form of machine-learning.
Here's how that could work: a machine-learning algorithm "learns" from a pool of training data – in this case, it may be "trained using more than 1,000 NAPLAN writing tests scored by human markers."
But it generally does not learn the criteria by which humans mark essays. Rather, machine learning consists of multiple layers of so-called "artificial neurons." These are statistical values that are gradually adjusted during the training period to associate certain inputs (structural text patterns, vocabulary, key words, semantic structure, paragraphing and sentence length) with certain outputs (high grades or low grades).
When marking a new essay, the algorithm makes a statistical inference by comparing the text with learned patterns and eventually matches it with a grade. Yet the algorithm cannot explain why this inference was reached.
Importantly, high grades are awarded to papers that show the structural features of highly persuasive writing – papers that follow the "persuasion rulebook," so to speak.
Are the claims by ACARA that algorithmic marking can match the consistency of human markers wrong? Probably not, but that's not the issue.
It's possible that machine-learning could reliably award higher grades for those papers that follow the structural script for persuasive writing. And it might indeed do this with higher consistency than human markers. Examples from other fields show this – for instance, in the classification of images in medical diagnosis. It will certainly be quicker and cheaper.
But it will not matter what a text is about: whether the argument is ethical, offensive or outright nonsensical, whether it conveys any coherent ideas or whether it speaks effectively to the intended audience.
The only thing that matters is that the text has the right structural patterns. In essence, algorithmic marking might reward the writing of "bullshit" – text written with little regard for the subject matter and solely to fulfill the algorithm's criteria.
Not simply lying, analysts use "bullshit" to describe empty talk or meaningless jargon. Princeton philosopher Harry Frankfurt argues that talking bullshit may actually be worse than lying, because the lie at least reaffirms the truth:
It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it … For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says.
Unlike humans, algorithms are incapable of truly understanding when something is nonsense rather than genuine ideas and argumentation. It doesn't know whether a text has any worth or relationship to our world at all.
That's why algorithmic marking, whether in NAPLAN or otherwise, risks rewarding the writing of bullshit.
Our politics and media are already flooded with empty arguments and jargon. Let's not reward the skill of writing it.
Our politics, businesses and media are already flooded with empty arguments and jargon. Let's not reward the skill of writing it.
Any application of algorithmic decision-making creates feedback loops. It influences future behaviour by rewarding and foregrounding some aspects of human practice and backgrounding others.
This is particularly the case when incentives are tied to the outcomes of algorithmic decision-making. In the case of NAPLAN, we know that the government rewards schools that score highly. As a result, there is already an entire industry geared towards "cracking the script" of NAPLAN in order to secure high marks.
Imagine what happens when students realize that genuine ideas and valid arguments are not rewarded by the algorithm.

See What Others Are Saying
Last thing I want is a machine grading my essay. I value the professor's input. The machine's result is nothing more than a glorified spell checker. Last thing we need is a bunch of human drones.
Has the writer attended college? If not allow me to clarify, the bored TA's do not bother to comprehend each of the dozens of essay's. The mark down a rubric which if followed, even via bullshit means success. Although they are still preferable to professors who simply check that exactly what they said was parroted back to them in the way they said it.
The standard laid out here makes a great case for why Human's should never be allowed to grade essay's, as they will never do it even as well as machines do.
Machines can certainly check if an essay correctly parrots back the professor's rubric, which is all one should expect from students there to get a credential so that they can begin a paid job that does not involve the professors pet theories in any way.

Sneak Peek
Learn how to turn a pile of wool fibres into a piece of cloth. Then learn how to make a vessel without sewing a single stitch!
Taking place at Purr & Wag It HQ; Heather's home studio in Camberwell. An Any Time workshop or short course to slip perfectly into your busy diary adaptable to what you and your friends (four max) want to achieve.
If you want to learn 2D and 3D the first part of the workshop will take you through how to make a small flat piece of felt, decorate it and blend colours. Then you'll chose and prepare your fibres for your 3D vessel before Heather guides you through how to use a resist (this is a piece of cloth or other material that stops the wool fibres from one set of layers felting to those below) to make a seam free 3D vessel.
By the end of the workshop you will have a small flat decorative work and a 3D vessel.
Wet felt making is a simple process (once you know how) made up of a series of repetitive actions. Many people find it relaxing and some a stress buster. But, elements of felt making are quite vigorous and all very hands on. If you have arthritis in your hands you may find parts of the process challenging. That being said it's not stopped anybody before and Heather is very happy to help you with vigorous parts of the process.
3 cats live in my home studio. Winnie and the boys will be elsewhere in the house during courses and workshops but if you have cat allergies Tabletop Workshops may not be the right creative space for you.

The Host
- Tabletop Workshops, the teaching arm of Purr & Wag It (PaW) was invented to provide You with hands on relaxed learning and me the opportunity and great enjoyment of facilitating others' creativity in the relaxed setting of my home studio in Camberwell. All my courses and workshops are fuelled with plenty of homemade cake, teas and coffee. What's PaW? Born out of a gift to my brother, it's my felted portrait/landscapes small business. Marrying my love of animals with my love for making and in particular pushing the boundaries of fine detail in wet felt making. I've been teaching people of all ages and with widely differing abilities for well over a decade in educational and community settings across Greater London and hold an enhanced DBS certificate for children and vulnerable adults. Showing off doesn't come naturally but amongst other praise past participants have said: ... We loved this course. Heather is a great teacher - informative, friendly and relaxed. And a great baker to boot (tea and cake was happily consumed during felt making) and the atmosphere felt like an evening spent with friends. ...

SIDELINES — UMF friends not surprised by Steve Clifford's NBA success
On Sunday afternoon at 1, the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat will play the deciding game 7 of an NBA Eastern Conference first round playoff series. Outside of the Carolinas, the biggest Charlotte Hornets booster club is probably here in Maine, where Steve Clifford's longtime friends will be cheering for the Hornets' head coach.
A 1983 graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington, Clifford is in this third season as Charlotte's head coach. His time in the NBA goes back more than 15 years. His ability to coach goes back as far as his friends can remember.

"We coached against each other for years in basketball camp, and I knew he'd be a good coach. Did I think he'd be coaching in the NBA? No, that'd be crazy," Phil St. Onge, Clifford's friend since college, said. The son of a coach, Clifford is a basketball lifer. When Bill Martin, one of his teammates at UMF, met Clifford in 1980, he knew there was something special about him.
"I met him the first day I was on campus. He went out of his way to talk to me. I knew he was a leader on the team. I didn't know he was only a sophomore," Martin said.
Clifford was the Beavers' point guard. He had 125 assists as a senior and was a defensive force, Martin said. It's no surprise then that in each of Clifford's three seasons Charlotte has finished the regular season in the top 10 in fewest points allowed per game. This season, the Hornets gave up 100.7 points per game, ninth-best in the NBA.
"He was always our best defender," Martin said. "He could score, but Steve was really more of a playmaker."
In his senior season at UMF, Clifford broke his hand. Martin watched his friend and teammate handle the adversity with poise and class.
"His season was over, but he never put his head down. He never let it show how heartbroken he was. He never stopped being a leader," Martin said.
Clifford's route to the NBA started in Woodland, where he coached high school basketball after graduating from UMF. Mars is closer to the NBA than Woodland. The road from Woodland to the NBA was used once, then torn out. There were stops at St. Anselm University, and Fairfield, then Boston University and Siena before Clifford became head coach at Adelphi. There was a year as an assistant at East Carolina, 13 years as an NBA assistant coach with the Knicks, Rockets, Magic and Lakers.
Clifford earned a degree in Special Education and his friends say the approach he took to teach is what makes him a good coach, particularly in the NBA. St. Onge and Martin have each sat in on a Hornets practice, watched how Clifford is able to teach NBA players and treat them like men, rather than force a bombastic or authoritative style upon them.
"His style has never changed," Martin said. "It's incredible. He hasn't had to change his personality to adapt to the NBA."
"He just understands people and knows what he has to do to make them better, and they buy into the team thing," St. Onge added.

So what shall my first blog post of Vegan MoFo 2014 be ? I don't have any great food pictures to post at the moment, despite having basically cooked all weekend. Jamie came home Friday, after being away on a business trip for nearly two weeks. He arrived with a pretty intense cold that has now, on Labor Day, about run its course. On Saturday I made him a huge bowl of ramen with lots of veggies, including daikon and bokchoy. Thankfully, plain, unfried ( even organic ) ramen noodles are readily available to make your own soup and season how you like it. We make a simple soup with what veggies we have on hand, seasoning with soy sauce, ginger and garlic. He likes flakes of red chili pepper in his, I like some wakame seaweed in mine.
I made a batch of Coconut Bacon and a batch of vegan ham from Chef Skye Michael Conroy's The Gentle Chef Cookbook and then we picked tomatoes from our backyard and ate enormous sandwiches, dripping with all the goodies.
Sunday I made a giant coconutty curry with some homegrown veggies ( squash, tomatoes ), veggies from a friend ( swiss chard, kale, peppers...thanks Sharon ! ), and from the farmer's market ( carrots and extremely wonderful silky eggplant, onions and garlic). I chopped all the veggies up and roasted them in the oven with couple of tablespoons of oil , made the "gravy" and then tossed it all together with various spices. Also a big pot of Moong Dal and a pot of basmati rice. We will eat from all of that for days ! I love that Indian food is so forgiving and veg-intense.
Today, Monday, I made mushroom gravy and baked a batch of Peanutbutter Blondies and Fran Costigan's Very Fudgy Chocolate Chip Brownies to mail off to my Dad, who lives alone on the East coast. The gravy gets frozen and sent off in a little cooler, the cookie bars are fine going Priority in a box. Not all of the brownies are going t fit in the box...guess some will have to stay behind :)
Tonight, it's left-overs!
I found an iPhone picture of some of the veggies getting ready for the curry....look at that gorgeous Swiss Chard !

text: 🖤🖤🖤 | 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Book 2 review: Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna is a suspense thriller where two little girls go missing and the search to find them begins. The beginning of the book was great, I instantly liked Cap and even though Jamie (the mother) seemed a little rough you were drawn to her and wanted her to succeed. The way the girls went missing is believable but then I feel like character development begins to lack. I didn't really feel connected to anyone else and there are a lot of characters! Versa is supposed to be a kick ass detective and I definitely got that feeling but she was a little too mysterious for me. I felt like this book had great potential but lost me mid way through. I was eager to find out the kidnapper and the ending is a bit twisted. Maybe not the best book if you have little girls! If you have read it let me know your thoughts.

Wello's Penguin arrives to Orkney
Penguin wave energy device has reached Orkney ahead of scheduled deployment at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
Wello's device was towed from Cornwall, reaching Kirkwall in Orkney on Wednesday, February 1, 2017.
The tow went well despite few days' delay due to bad weather, according to the Finnish wave energy developer.
The device will be deployed shortly at EMEC where the preparations are ongoing as part of the CEFOW project.
Timo Lotti from Wello said: "Two weeks ago the sea cable was already prepared for connection and mooring laying is due to begin as weather allows."
Following the deployment at EMEC, the construction of the new Wello device will begin before this summer, Wello informed.
The details of the device are being fine tuned, with the verification tank tests underway this week.
Clean Energy from Ocean Waves (CEFOW) project was launched in 2015, with the backing of €17 million from the EU's Horizon 2020 program, received in May the same year.

- "Horrible, isn't it? I suppose that's what the last remnants of the Lunarians have come to. Evidently once men and women, something like ourselves. I daresay the ancestors of that thing have lived here in coldness and darkness for hundreds of generations. It shows how tremendously tenacious Nature is of life."

|George Griffith
The Lunarians are large humanoid creatures indigenous to Luna, the Earth's moon. They evolved from human-like surface dwellers, but were forced to migrate underground due to the moon slowly losing its atmosphere and water. Deep underneath Crater Newton, the last members of the race survive in a frigid but still inhabitable environment, the only place in the moon where oxygen and liquid water are still to be found. While the original race was civilized, having built towns and temples on the surface; their subterranean descendants appear to have degenerated and live very much like wild animals.
They're described as vaguely ape-like, although with smooth hairless skin which is light grey in color. Unlike an ape, though, their lower limbs are more powerful than their upper limbs and their heads are described as big, round and smooth. Their skeletal structure is similar to a human's, with the notable distinction that the chest cavity is disproportionally expanded, containing enlarged lungs to enable them to breathe in a rarefied atmosphere.
The nose is described as long and thick, with huge mobile nostrils, and the mouth is vaguely fish-like and seemingly toothless. Also notable is that they no longer possess eyes, due to having adapted to a perpetually dark environment. Instead of fingernails, their fingers are equipped with long white feelers which they can extend and wave to sense the environment in search of water.
It's speculated that the species is cold-blooded, due to how they will dive into the frigid stream waters naturally and showing no discomfort. They feed on eel-like fish which they capture with their mouths during these dives. The Lunarians themselves risk falling prey to a large aquatic predator.

Hip to Be Square, January 19, 2012.
- Instagram, Free, is the app I use the most for sharing my photos, but I tend to edit my photos in other apps. It's free and comes with 17 different effects to choose from. Instagram will save a full resolution copy of the photo to your phone, but only uploads photos at 612×612 resolution.
- Hipstamatic, $1.99, and comes with a starter pack of lenses, flashes, and film. HipstaPaks with additional gear are available via in-app purchase. The only downside of Hipstamatic is you cannot load images from your phone into the app, but I think that adds to the app's retro appeal.
- MagicHour, $1.99, is primarily a filter editing app. It has 40 built-in filters, but gives the user nearly unlimted options through its Filter Market. This is a repository of free, downloadable filters created by other MagicHour users. The app is currently on sale for $0.99 cents, so get it now before the price goes back up.
- PhotoToaster, on sale for $0.99 (regularly $2.99), is one of two universal iPad/iPhone app on my list. While not exclusively a square format app, it has a simple square cropping tool as well as wide variety of preset effects. You can also create and save your own effects. It also serves as a full-featured editor for other photos, supports PhotoAppLink, which makes it a must have general purpose photo editor.
- Squaready, Free, bills itself as an "Instagram layouter". It is the simplest way to crop your photos for sharing on Instagram. The app supports SendToApp and PhotoAppLink, and you can upscale lower resolution photos when exporting. Squaready has funky sound effects for each action (which thankfully can be turned off) and is ad supported, but the ads are unobtrusive, and clicking one will leave the app ad-free for several hours.
- 100 Cameras in 1, $1.99, was developed by professional travel photographer Trey Ratcliff from StuckInCustoms.com. The app offers Golden Ratio and Rule of Thirds guides to help compose your shot. With 100 different filters, the app is definitely worth downloading, especially given the names assigned to each filter. Instead of "black and white" or "vintage" you have "I dreamed of the clouds of Jupiter" and "going back for more ice cream when no one is watching". I can't help but chuckle every time I use the app.
- Ttv Photo Studio, $2.99, is an effects app that emulates the viewfinders of more than 30 cameras, like the Brownie. It doesn't connect to any other editing apps, but does gives you manual control over each effect. All of your images are saved in the app as well as your camera roll, so you can open past projects to make changes.
- Fx Photo Studio, $0.99, is an effects app that I haven't had a chance to play around with very much but is very well designed. It has 194 filters, and you are able to adjust the strength and contrast of each. You can bookmark your favorites and customize filters for reuse and export directly to Instagram. The smile factor comes from the random facts it displays on screen while saving your creations.
- Picfx, $1.99, is a simple to use effects filter/camera. First you select a photo texture with names like Galatic and Paint Peel and apply different styles to make the photo look vintage, warm, or cool. There are 47 effects and 13 styles to choose from. It doesn't have full manual control over the effects, but supports PhotoAppLink and exports photos at full resolution.
- Instacam, $1.99, is another Instagram companion app. If you're sensing a theme, it's that Instagram's doesn't offer a real diverse set of built-in filters, so to get the most out of the service you need a solid effects app. Instacam only offers 19 effects, but it does integrate with Instagram rather well so is a good go to app for quick effects. The app often goes on sale for $0.99 or free, so you may want to keep an eye on it for now.
- ClassicInsta, Sale price $0.99 (regularly $1.99), emulates old Polaroid and Instamatic cameras, complete with an animation of your photo developing, without all the shaking. It's a universal app for iPad/iPhone. It requires iOS 5.0 to run, so is limited to the iPhone 3GS and newer.

Frankfort's Fantasy Forest is example of many benefits of urban tree planting
October marks the 10th anniversary of the Alliance for Community Trees' National NeighborWoods month. This is a time to focus on the many benefits that planting city forests can bring to urban neighborhoods.
"The trees planted and cared for during October's NeighborWoods will improve public health, moderate city temperatures, mitigate stormwater runoff, and raise property values," said Carrie Gallagher, executive director of the Alliance for Community Trees, based in Washington, D.C.
With support from donors and partners like the USDA Forestry Service, Boise Paper and CSX, this advocacy group provides assistance in planning and funding tree projects.
One such example of a project this group has supported is near downtown Frankfort, at the corner of Logan and East Second streets, adjacent to a community garden in Dolly Graham Park.
Naturalist Connie May and a contingent of local volunteers have created what May calls Fantasy Forest. With a grant from the Alliance for Community Trees, and matching funds from the city of Frankfort, as well as donations from volunteers, work began by planting native trees and shrubs in 2012, followed by perennials in the last two years.
May focused on developing habitat for moths, butterflies and other pollinators by selecting plants that provide habitat associated with particular insects. About 200 types of trees, shrubs and flowers were included. Different native milkweeds which support monarch butterflies, for instance, are in place.
For quick habitat development in urban settings, May has also developed a "microforest" concept, which she uses both at Fantasy Forest and in backyard landscape designs for individuals.
"I realized that trees in natural areas grow close together," she says. That attracts insects and develops cover quickly. Now, classes like plant identification and seed collecting are offered at Fantasy Forest. For more information about these groups, visit: Alliance for Community Trees: Actrees.org; and Friends of Fantasy Forest on Facebook.com. To request to be put on May's email news list, email: firstname.lastname@example.com; to see more of May's landscape design: Chrysalisnaturallandscapes.com; Kentucky Division of Forestry: Forestry.ky.gov
And on a related note, a free urban forest workshop on the use of urban forests to improve water quality will be held at 4 p.m. Oct. 21 and 3 p.m. Nov. 18 with instructor Todd Rounsaville, curator of native plants at the Arboretum, 400 Alumni Drive.
This workshop will illustrate the benefits derived from trees and the role trees play in improving water quality. Also included are how to select tree species appropriate for Fayette County, proper tree planting and maintenance techniques and discussion on the recently completed Urban Tree Canopy study and prioritized planting plan for Lexington.
Funding for the workshop is provided by Lexington's Department of Environmental Quality and Public Works and is offered in collaboration with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. For more information, visit: www.ca.uky.edu/Arboretum or call: (859) 257-6955.
Fall lecture series
If you wonder how new landscape plant offerings are developed and would like a sneak preview of new introductions — more than 50 annuals and perennials — in store for 2015, check out the Gardeners Fall Lecture Series event at 7 p.m. Oct. 23.
Marshall Dirks, director of marketing and public relations for Proven Winners, will present a program entitled "Plant Hunting: Amazing New Plants and How We Get Them," which is sponsored by the Fayette County Master Gardeners and the Friends of the Arboretum.
Dirks will offer an insider's view of a company that not only plans and develops high-quality offerings, but the "PW" brand, now so noticeable in the retail trade. Dirks will also speak about the new Proven Winners Signature Garden, one of six nationally, at the Kentucky Governor's Mansion.
The lecture will take place at the Gluck Equine Research Center auditorium, 1400 Nicholasville Road. Cost is $10 for the public; $5 for students with ID. Visit www.ca.uky.edu/Arboretum or call (859) 257-6955 for more information.
Book reviews
The English Country House Garden. George Plumptre; photographs by Marcus Harpur. Frances Lincoln Limited. 208pp. $40.
As the gardening season wanes with temperatures falling fast, and the winter holiday season warms up, this large-format, full-color collection of photographs and histories of England's most gorgeous gardens is balm for the gardener's soul.
The look of impeccably manicured lawns bordered by perennial beds and clipped hedges, inspiration for even the most humble landscapes we manage here in American suburbia, originated in these classic English gardens.
Veteran garden writer Plumptre weaves the history, personality, and settings of each of these places with which he is so familiar into vignettes that easily put the importance of each into perspective, from the everlasting "alchemy" of Hidcote to a contemporary reworking of The Old Rectory at Naunton, where Lewis Carroll is said to have found inspiration for Alice in Wonderland's croquet match. Photographer Harpur has captured the perfect light, time and angle to reveal not just simple views of each of the gardens, but particular moments of beauty that gardeners will find uplifting. The houses and gardens themselves are enlightening: there is not a single flower, wall or ornament that could be removed without diminishing the effect. This is a book to be savored slowly.
Creepy Carrots! Words: Aaron Reynolds; Pictures: Peter Brown. Simon & Schuster. 40 pp. $17.99.
Forget scary Halloween pumpkin stories, and go with Creepy Carrots! You and your kids, ages about 4 and older, will probably never look at a carrot the same way again. Little Jasper Rabbit keeps pulling up these tasty treats from their patch each day, until the carrots seem to start stalking him by night. Brief but well-chosen text for dramatic read-aloud flair appeal, as well as illustrations in shades of grey with orange accents, add a ghost-tale, around-the-campfire atmosphere.
This Caldecott Honor winning book is anything but sappy if you're wanting to get kids interested in gardening, or at least knowing that root vegetables have a life before they reach grocery store shelves.

Naomi Annand
Naomi has been teaching yoga full time since 2002. Over this time she has developed a deeply compassionate style of teaching that emphasises the therapeutic benefits of yoga and also its potential to uplift and inspire. In 2012, she set up Yoga on the Lane with the intention of creating a dynamic community of teachers and students united by their commitment to practicing mindful, breath-led, vinyasa yoga. And then, in 2015, she designed the 200hr Yoga on the Lane Teacher Training Programme, which has set more than fifty brilliant new teachers off on their own paths. In October 2019 her first book, Yoga: A Manual for Life will be published by Bloomsbury.
Adam Hocke
Adam has been practicing vinyasa flow yoga since 1999 and has trained extensively with Jason Crandell. He offers precise, strong, and accessible classes to physically awaken the body and develop mindfulness both on and off the mat. His teaching is down-to-earth and direct, exploring traditional practices from a modern perspective. A native of South Florida, Adam spent ten years in New York City before becoming a Londoner. He teaches studio classes, workshops and courses throughout London, and retreats across the globe. As a writer, Adam contributes regularly to magazines and web publications on yoga and blogs and podcasts at adamhocke.com
Anna Taylor
My own yoga journey began 14 years ago and from my first class I was struck by the beautiful, transformative power of this practice to bring a joyful sense of balance to mind, body and spirit, in the midst of busy London life. Since then I have explored and studied under a variety of yoga traditions including Iyengar, Hatha, Sivananda and Vinyasa Flow. My own teaching style of flowing, mindful hatha yoga draws on elements of all of these teachings. I design flowing sequences which enable students to reconnect to their bodies, their breath, their strength and vitality in a compassionate and mindful way.
Eleah Waters
Eleah Waters began practising yoga and Pilates whilst completing a BA in contemporary dance in 2007. During her studies, these movement practices became an invaluable tool helping to create balance, posture, efficient bio-mechanics, and strength in the whole body. Eleah originally trained with STOTT Pilates and then Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute. After teaching Pilates all over London and specialising in injury rehabilitation, pre/postnatal and pain management, Eleah felt drawn to teaching yoga as well. Eleah completed her 200hr yoga teacher training with Yoga on the Lane and loved every minute of it. Eleah's main focus in her yoga or Pilates classes is to welcome a breathe-led practice that makes you feel good.
Madelaine Hart
I hail from Melbourne but live in London and came to yoga during my first pregnancy. My background is dance and my classes focus on creative and flowing sequences that are guided by your breath and your own self awareness. Through mindful movement and safe and precise alignment cues, I endeavour to adapt the class to whatever you need that day. Sometimes strong and dynamic, sometimes restful and calm, perhaps working with injury or illness. Whatever your level and experience, my classes are open to everyone and are really just an opportunity to give yourself space and time and open your mind to new possibilities.
Annie Rice
I came to yoga as a way to recover from long runs. My body responded well to not being pushed so relentlessly and a wonderful teacher gradually persuaded me to stay for Savasana, until I was eventually comfortable being still. Gradually yoga has become my work. I still run, but less relentlessly, and am most interested in making yoga accessible and useful for us as we need it. My reason to teach is to support people in building a trusting relationship with their own body and to feel strong and confident in knowing their own practice and what is best for them.
Maren Weege
With an inquiring open mind and mindful touch, Maren is passionate about being a teacher who holds space in order for students to find their inner teacher. She believes in working with the basics and adding some challenge on but you probably won't find yourself dripping in sweat in her classes. Rather, she combines movement, yoga poses, deep and conscious breathing, kriyas, mudras,, meditation and deep relaxation in a way that creates space for each individual's self-healing capacities to switch on. She specialises in Mindful Hatha Flow Yoga, Yoga for Pregnancy, Restorative Yoga and Yoga with FeetUp. Her educational journey is continuous and her gratitude goes especially to her long-term teachers Max Strom, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and Krishnatakis.
Rosie Gold
Rosie has been practising yoga for over 15 years, she has found her yoga journey to be deeply fulfilling and a steadying force throughout her life. Rosie teaches flowing breath and alignment focused vinyasa yoga. Rosie believes that giving yourself time to focus on your breath, movement, body and mind can truly help you to manage our often busy and hectic lifestyles from a place of more clarity and calmness. Rosie aims to offer you the space to feel into your body through her carefully sequenced and alignment focused classes. Rosie completed her 200hr teacher training at Yoga on the Lane with Naomi Annand and is currently taking her 300hr advanced teacher training with Jason Crandall.
Eryck Brahmania
Eryck's years as a professional dancer with some of the UK's top companies, has given him a deep understanding of the body, flow, movement as a meditation and anatomical understanding. Trained as a yoga teacher under Claire Missingham's watchful eye and achieving an Outstanding grade upon graduation Eryck continues to study with Claire as well as assist her regularly. Students can expect deep yoga assists, wonderful sequencing and traditional roots of yoga using Sanskrit, krama vinyasa, use of precise and detailed anatomical alignment.
amanda butterworth
Through a regular practice Amanda was so touched by the ability of yoga to bring balance and harmony to mind and body that she became inspired to become a teacher, she completed her 200 hour training at Yoga On The Lane with Naomi Annand whose teachings continue to be a great source of inspiration for her. With compassion at the centre of her classes Amanda endeavours to share her own experiences of the transformative power of yoga. Amanda teaches a moving meditation, with creative sequencing, mindful breath lead classes which focus on cultivating a balance between effort and ease, movement and stillness.
Katrina Kurdy
Katrina has been teaching since 2011 and recently completed an advanced training with Jason Crandell. Drawing from her background in human biology and my love of physiology, philosophy and all things wellness-related she likes to create challenging yet mindful flows to help her students safely push past their perceived limitations (both physically and mentally). A personal witness to the amazing changes yoga can bring to one's life, she finds great reward in sharing it with others.
Ashley Handel
Ashley has been practicing yoga for 10 years, first stumbling upon it as part of her undergraduate degree in dance. Her passion is Vinyasa Flow, combining dynamic and strong postures with mindful breath and movement. She trained with Naomi and Adam through Yoga on the Lane's 200-hr teacher training program, an unparalleled experience of deep learning and growth. She believes that a strong yoga practice comes through the methodical building of strength and mobility in the body, finding an intimate relationship with the breath and a curiosity and focus inward, cultivating a sensitivity to one's own internal experience. She is grateful to teach this practice with vigour, compassion and unwavering appreciation.
TRacey Ellis
I am hugely passionate about the transformational benefits of yoga and meditation and the power they have to help us see what we truly are; works in progress. I teach yoga from the heart, with the sole aim of encouraging others to love themselves and the world a little bit more each day. Together we are on a mission to encourage self-care and self-love as a daily practice. My classes are for everyone, designed to build strength and encourage stillness of mind and an open heart through mindful breath led movement. Sequences are nourishing, strong, dynamic and fun and intended to enregise and inspire individuals to embrace their vast potential on and off the mat. I'm a great lover of restorative yoga and like to incorporate this into most classes. In a culture obsessed with 'doing', these supported postures serve as the perfect antidote and offer untold benefits to the entire being.
Giorgos alexandris
Giorgos' passion for teaching stems from his own Yoga practice and the transformative effect it has had on his life over the last ten years - proud to be in a position to share what he has learned. He welcomes everyone in his classes which are well structured, with dynamic yet accessible parts with emphasis on breath/movement coordination and relaxing/restorative elements. His teaching style is engaging, encouraging students to be focused while maintaining an element of fun. After completing the Triyoga teacher training he continues to study with Anna Ashby and Joey Miles as an assistant to the programme. He also assists Eileen Gauthier at the Camden Mysore classes where he is practising and learning 2nd series Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

FLORENCE, Italy (CNS) — If God and his word are to help people, Christians have to be in touch with what is really happening in people's lives, Pope Francis said during an afternoon Mass.
God became human to live among people, to hear their problems, "not to indulge them, but to be able to communicate with them," he said in his homily Nov. 10 in Florence.
Christians must have "healthy contact with reality, with what people are going through, with their tears and joys — it is the only way to be able to help, form and communicate with them," the pope said.
"Without knowing what people think, the disciple is isolated and starts to judge people according to his own thoughts and beliefs," the pope said at the end of a full day visiting workers and young people in an industrial town, as well as the sick, the homeless and church leaders from all over Italy attending a national congress in Florence.
The only way to speak to people's hearts and help them listen to God is by acknowledging their daily ups and downs, their jobs, families, health issues and problems with commuting, with school and health care, he said.
Christ's disciples must never forget that they, too, were chosen from among the masses, the pope said. "They must never fall into the temptation of taking on an attitude of detachment, as if what people think and experience doesn't matter or isn't important to them."
Noting that the Mass was celebrated in a large outdoor stadium, the pope said that "the church, like Jesus, lives in the midst of people and for the people." The stadium, holding at least 40,000 people, was full, and large video screens dotted other parts of the city for the over-capacity crowds.
Christians today, like in the past, must "go against the tide" and overcome mistaken views that can't see that Jesus is more than just a prophet or teacher, but is the son of the living God, the pope said.
This is a Christian's joy: that God is ever present, always at hand offering salvation, and that he never wants to give up on people despite their lack of understanding, sins and problems, Pope Francis said.
God's greatness meets human weakness, which is not only the hope that keeps the faithful going, it is the "gentle power" that attracts people to God, he said. It is the start of planting seeds of goodness every day, bit by bit, to build "a new, renewed humanity, where no one is left at the margins or thrown away, where the one who serves is the greatest, where the least and the poor are welcomed and helped."
God and the human person are not two distant extremes, the pope said. They are constantly seeking and recognizing each other, especially when people imitate the good Samaritan.
Earlier in the day, the pope prayed the Angelus privately with a group of sick people and then had lunch with dozens of the poor and homeless, many of them from other countries.
The pope "checked-in" like the other guests at the local Caritas cafeteria and then he greeted each and every one of them personally. One man kissed the pope's feet, another gave him a homemade wool hat, which the pope tried on, and a woman gifted him a flowering plant.
They ate a Tuscan specialty soup made out of bread and tomatoes; beef; mashed potatoes; and dessert, according to the archdiocese.

My husband being an avid reader, we have a HUGE collection of books at home, most of them just stacked up in the living room and crying for a better place. I don't like heavy bookshelves at all, a bookshelf like this would make an interesting addition to a living room decor, specially against an exposed brick wall.

Coaching changes are the most difficult part on the business. Unfortunately I had my amount of time in one of your situations several years ago and additionally they are always complicated. As Robbie Caldwell and David Williams had their press conference this morning to announce that 2 had "mutually agreed" to do everything forward almost everyone knew this really resulted in. When two people say something is mutual it really never is always.
Commit to keeping associated with how lack you talk with, steer clear how many calls you're making. Today with cell phones, caller id, and voice mail, connecting with a desired target takes instance. In Gary Burnison having conversations 4 – 5 times per hour, for 2 -4 hours a day, constitutes superb performance. Practice increases the sum of those contact. As a recruiter connecting with 12 – 15 people on a daily basis is an individual level of top vendors.
A: It is very common for both to location. Our executive search firm, FGP International (Find Great People) has been building a unique proprietary database of candidates and contacts for nearly 22 quite a few. This has been done by active contact on our part too as by referrals from those who respect our approach. Should you contact a solid directly you need to homework homework before simply sending a comprehensive resume. We are not "all alike".
It may not be unique to New York, but no local job hunter should not have a Linked In funds. As a recruiter, I am (literally) logged onto my Linked In account throughout the day at the office, keeping on the surface of my network and in search of qualified loan applicants. Social media has made data and information so even more democratized and accessible that you have no excuse for not fully utilizing social networking tools, for Linked In, in your job search. According to Linked In, 49% of the users are "Business Decision Makers" (aka: people in the position to hire you or offer a referral). With odds like that, why are you not linked in?
As I pondered this, my own unique perspective – gained from 35 years of recruiting senior talent within your executive placement industry – began to clarify photographs for for me. During the last few years of my previous career, Received a very close and daily firsthand glimpse to a growing problem which exists throughout the corporate world and throughout much for the country: an absence of effective front-runners.
The very first thing you have to to select the perfect career or job is to right now open mental performance to all possibilities, don't be closed minded. Advertising are closed minded and think could a lousy time to appear for job and that the is nothing out there then read no much deeper. You will only waste your moment. For the fact is life gives us what concentrate too much about a large percentage of. If you think to what you do not have you will only read more of them. Think different than most: think of what you require.
Give feedback whenever find the job that you incurred been applying form. A retained search firm can be a permanent part of the bureau. Once you have gotten the official confirmation a person have secured yourself the job, send an email to the search firm to show your respect. This will go a protracted way in developing a capable corporate imagine. They will see you as somebody who is very well mannered.

Notre Dame vs. BYU
So yesterday BYU played football against Notre Dame at Notre Dame for the first time since we moved here. I don't really get into sports too much, but I have a couple of brothers that do, and I thought it would be fun to tease them a little.
|Go Irish Cougars!!!
|Sad that BYU lost....
|But how awesome is it that Notre Dame is still undefeated? Like I said I am not a big sports fan but people out here get pretty pretty excited about their Notre Dame football, and that excitement can't help but to rub off a little.

Student production of Matthew Dunster's 1984. Performed at ArtsEd in London.
Here is a short video of the production.
Directed by William Oldroyd, Lighting by Andy Purves, Sound by Helen Skiera. I designed the set and the video.
Utilised 3 projection surfaces (2 mobile steel screens with built in projectors, and 1 large back image), to shift between the many locations of the play. The production turned out rather well mixing newly filmed content with the students, and my own footage.
Here is a video made with the students participation.

Smile :), it's Mother's Day!/
It is said that a mother's work is never done, and that once a person becomes a parent, it is a labour of love that lasts a lifetime. The same thing could be said about your smile. Your smile should be there for you - strong, healthy, and lasting a lifetime. In this newsletter, we have tips on how to help moms to keep their smiles healthy for life through the various stages of parenting, as well as some gift ideas to help promote good dental and overall health.
To those Moms in our dental family, we want you to know just how special you are to us! We hope that you have a wonderful, deserving and relaxing Mother's Day. :)
Just Smiles Dental
For Expecting & New Moms
Pregnant women are at increased risk for periodontal disease because the increased levels of progesterone that come with pregnancy cause an exaggerated response to plaque bacteria. As a result, pregnant women are more likely to develop gingivitis even if they follow a consistent oral health care routine.
Gingivitis is most common during months two to eight of pregnancy. Tell your dentist when you are pregnant — he or she may recommend more frequent dental cleanings during the second trimester or early in the third trimester to help combat the effects of increased progesterone and help you avoid gingivitis.
Rinse your mouth out with water or an alcohol-free mouth rinse if you suffer from morning sickness and have bouts of frequent vomiting.
Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Your baby's first teeth begin to develop about three months into pregnancy. Healthy diets containing dairy products, cheese, and yogurt are a good source of these essential minerals and are good for baby's developing teeth, gums, and bones.
Gift Ideas: Help Mom to get some restful sleep with a sleep mask, Also remember to give the priceless gift of peace and quiet to help mom relax and sleep well!
For Moms with young children:
Working moms with kids are hard pressed for time, which means that they can neglect the basics, including proper dental hygiene, for themselves and their kids. Dental health is a critical component of overall health. Follow these tips to work dental hygiene into your daily schedule:
1. Drink lots of water. Keep a full pitcher of purified water in the fridge and water bottles in the car for easy access at home and on the go.
2. Keep a set of toothbrushes and toothpaste by the kitchen sink or at work. Get in the habit of brushing teeth after meals right in the kitchen to make it more convenient.
3. Keep travel toothbrushes and floss on hand. Pack a set of travel toothbrushes and floss in your purse or in the car so that you can brush and floss on the go when time is tight.
4. Make smart snack choices. Keep healthy snacks ready to eat in the fridge such as washed and sliced fruit and vegetables and cubed cheese.
5. Drink sugary beverages with a straw. When you do drink soda, use a straw so that the sugar does not have as much contact with the teeth. Wash your mouth out with water afterward.
6. Chew gum. Sugar free gum with the sugar substitute Xylitol kills bacteria in the mouth following meals. It also pulls food particles off of the teeth and promotes saliva flow to help neutralize acids.
7. Educate your children. The more that kids know about making smart eating choices and practicing good health hygiene, the better they will feel, encouraging them to maintain healthy lifestyles. It can be fun and healthy to set aside family routine for teeth brushing and flossing. Oral-B and Disney, as well as the Partnership for Healthy Mouths & Healthy Lives, have an app for timing those two minutes of brushing and making oral hygiene fun. We strongly encourage even the busiest of moms to take time for themselves and schedule regular health and dental checkups.
Gift Ideas: An electric toothbrush or a travel cosmetic case filled with dental health goodies like a travel toothbrush, floss picks and toothpaste. Alone time can be hard to come by for mothers. A bluetooth shower speaker may help mom take some time for herself.
For "Experienced" Moms & Grandmothers:
Age in and of itself is not a dominant or sole factor in determining oral health. However, advancing age puts many seniors at risk for a number of oral health issues, such as:
1. Dry mouth. It is due to reduced saliva flow, and can be a result of cancer treatment or as side effects of many medication. Ask your dentist for products that can help relieve dry mouth.
2. Root decay. It is common for gum tissue to recede from the teeth with age, and the roots of your teeth become exposed. As they do not have enamel to protect them, roots of your teeth become more prone to decay.
3. Gum disease. It is caused by plaque build-up and made worsen by diabetes, poor-fitting bridges and dentures. When left untreated, gum disease can cause mobility of teeth, and eventually loss of teeth.
4. Denture-induced stomatitis. Poor dental hygiene, ill-fitting dentures, or a buildup of the fungus can cause this condition, which is inflammation of the tissue underlying a denture.
To maintain good oral health, it is important to brush at least twice a day with a fluoride-containing toothpaste, floss at least once a day and visit your dentist on a regular schedule for cleaning and an oral exam. During your routine exam, your dentist will check for: your face for sores, moles, skin discolouration, your bite, your jaw, your lymph nodes and salivary glands for any sign of swelling or lumps, your cheeks for ulcers, other soft tissue areas for signs of infection or oral cancer and your teeth for decay, fracture and condition of past restorations.
Gift Ideas: Power up mom or grandmother's brushing routine with an electric toothbrush, which can remove more plaque than conventional brushes, and is still gentle on dental work. If you're thinking of getting your tech-savvy mom or grandma a tablet or smartphone, here are the top health apps for seniors.
As always, if you have any questions, we are happy to help. Call us at 604-579-0117 or send us an email anytime at email@example.com. Again, Happy Mother's Day to our patients, friends and family from all of us at Just Smiles Dental!

By A. G. Kleijweg
Dear Readers,
This article is intended to make readers aware of the obligation of the civic integration in The Netherlands. It does not contain detailed information about any situation, it is just showing there is something to pay attention to and where to get information.
For whom is this article relevant?
It's for those that are obligated to integrate after 01 January 2013. In general terms that is anyone who obtained a residence permit since that date. Think of people who received a permit as dependant of another person and want an independent permit. Also those who want a long term residence permit or want to obtain the Dutch nationality. Basically this is relevant for almost every migrant.
Who need to pass the civic integration examination in The Netherlands?
After the change of the integration law in 2013, one must first have passed the civic integration examination in the Netherlands to change the purpose of the residence permit into a continued residence or permanent residence and you are at least 18 and you have not yet reached your AOW pension age.
Integration obligation
If you must integrate, then you are supposed to receive a letter from the Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO) – see www.duo.nl. The letter from DUO will tell you since which date you became obligated to integrate. It is important to know whether you became obligated to integrate before or after 1 January 2015. The letter will tell you that you have 3 years to integrate (the integration period).
You must pass your integration exam within this integration period. Please note that you are responsible for your own civic integration examination in the Netherlands so you have to take action yourself.
What if I do not want to take the exams?
If you do not fulfil the obligation you can be fined. If the DUO decides that you have not done enough for your integration, you will receive a penalty from the DUO. The penalty will be between 250 to 1250 Euros. Besides the penalty you will receive extra time to pass the civic integration examination in the Netherlands. So, just paying the fine will not be sufficient to be relieved of the obligation to take the exams.
Also, those who have a residence permit to stay with a partner or husband, and want a permit for prolonged stay after the relationship ended, must have fulfilled the inburgerings obligation. If not, the residence permit will not be changed, ending in not having a residence permit.
What to do then?
In my opinion it would be wise to follow an integration-course, study hard and pass the exams successfully. I believe that some things you do not have to like, but must just get over it and done with it. If you do not, it is likely to cause you serious trouble later on.
It is possible to protest and start all kind of procedures against this obligation to integrate, but why? Be realistic, it is a good thing to speak the language and know the rules of the country you live in. It saves you a lot of trouble and missed opportunities.
With that in mind, you must also realize that there are not much solid legal argument against the fact that this obligation is imposed on migrants. Maybe in some cases there will be successful procedures against the obligation, but in general, I do not see much chance of success in fighting the obligation in court. Then you better spend the money and time on other things.
So I would say, go to www.inburgeren.nl and see how you can get over and done with the matter. Or, get officially established by the authorities that you do not have to fulfil the obligation. Never wait until you get in trouble before you take action; do it before it becomes urgent.
Exemptions from the integration obligation
The most common exemption from the integration obligation is if you already have a Dutch diploma or you are in an academic programme studying in Dutch. In this case, you may not have to take one or more exams. For more information about the exemption from the integration obligation you could also visit www.ind.nl
Are there other exceptions to the rule?
Yes there are, but only in exceptional cases and that is not often the case. There are three other reasons why you could get an exemption from the integration obligation.
First reason is that you receive an exemption because you have done enough to integrate. This is called providing demonstrable proof of effort. There are two ways to receive an exemption because of demonstrable proof of effort. You must satisfy the conditions.
In the case where you have taken an integration course you must satisfy the following two conditions: (1) You have completed at least 600 hours of an integration course, but only certain schools are allowed. Only a schools listed on the website www.blikopwerk.nl are acceptable; (2) You tried four or more times to pass the exams but failed every time.
If you cannot read or write Dutch well enough to integrate, you must prove this with a test which must be taken at DUO. The test cost € 150, and DUO will decide whether you may take the test.
The second reason to receive an exemption is because you are sufficiently well integrated.
Have you lived in the Netherlands for ten years and nowhere else? And, have you worked in the Netherlands for more than five years? And, are you fluent in Dutch? In this case, you may no longer need to take the integration exams. You will then receive an exemption on request. Send in the exemption form. You must also send in the employers statement. Before you receive an exemption you first must attend an appointment with DUO, and this appointment cost € 90. After this appointment, DUO will decide whether or not you will receive the exemption or not.
The third reason is that you receive an exemption because of your medical circumstances.
Are you unable to take the exams because you are seriously ill or, because you have a handicap? Then, you can request an exemption. Then, you will not have to take the integration exams. Go to the site www.argonaut.nl for information.
You will receive a medical check-up by a doctor from Argonaut, an institution that is appointed to investigate whether one is able to take the exams or not. The check up is not free of charge. The doctor from Argonaut will give a statement whether you can integrate or not but in the end DUO will decide whether you receive the exemption.
You could find the abovementioned forms and information also at www.inburgeren.nl.
Is it wise to seek an exemption?
Yes it is, but only if you are really sure of your case. Exemptions are not easily given. So the fact one is not a good and eager student, one has some medical problems, one cannot read very well, all that is not enough for an exemption. It has to be really serious before one gets an exemption.
Also it is important to realize that if there is a serious reason for asking for an exemption, one must ask for them timely. Waiting until there is no other option left has a negative influence on the situation. So, again, take action as soon as possible.
What can we do for you in matters like these?
For this kind of problems you do not need a lawyer. You can take action and gather information via internet and with the help of friends, family and supporting people. In my experience, many problems can be solved by timely seeking support. For information about organisations that can help you see www.wereldhuis.org, www.kariboebibi.nl, www.stekdenhaag.nl and www.hetjl.nl
Only if one has a real problem, for instance one received a serious fine, one's request for an exemption has been rejected or there are problems for instance with immigration, it is needed to contact a lawyer.
Want to visit our office?
Of course our office does not only practice immigration law, but also family law, criminal law labour law and so on. Since several lawyers work in our office with their own specialism, it is important to make clear what the problem is, so an appointment can be made with a lawyer that is qualified to handle your case.

One of the most helpful guests our church has hosted in the last few years (in my opinion) was Dr. Richard Swenson. Swenson is a physician who is best known for helping people become aware of our need for what he calls margin. In his excellent book, Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives, Swenson defines margin as "the space between our load and our limits," suggesting that many of us are carrying loads that are beyond our limits in the four areas in his title, and his prescription is that we function best when we leave margin between the loads we carry and the limits that we naturally face as humans beings. Our discussion this week about Jesus' statement, "When you give..." brought to mind a story that Dr. Swenson told during his visit with us. He said that a group of researchers did a study on seminary students. These seminarians were told that they were given the assignment of giving a talk in a nearby room, and some of them were given the task of explaining Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan. The primary variable in the study was the sense of hurry that was created for the students. Some were told that they were already running late and had actually been expected a few minutes ago. Others were told their audience was ready for them and that they should go right over into the other room. A third group was told that it would be a few minutes before their audience would be ready, but they might as well head over to the other room.
On the students' way from one room to another on their campus to give their talks, they each individually encountered a person lying in a doorway, doubled over, with eyes closed and coughing. The researchers' hypothesis was that the primary factor in whether or not students would stop to help would not be personality differences or religious commitment or other such factors, but simply how much hurry the seminarians sensed. They were exactly right. Of the seminary students who had some margin, who had been told they had a few minutes to spare, 63% stopped to help. Of those who were not early, but on time, 45% stopped to help. Of those running late, only 10% stopped to give any help to the obviously struggling person in the door. The study noted that some of the students even stepped over the apparently injured person. And half of these students were on their way to give a talk on the Good Samaritan!
The lesson we must learn from this is, regardless of our level of Christian devotion, we are much less likely to give of ourselves to others–whether it be through giving our time, resources, or other ways–when we are in a hurry. Hurry is an interior condition brought on when we feel threatened, but even though Jesus' threats were so real throughout his life–particularly on his way to Jerusalem and the cross–we never get the sense that he was in a hurry. Rather, he knew that despite the cross that awaited him, he was ultimately safe in God's kingdom.
So am I, and so are you. And that is why we can live–and give–at a kingdom pace. In tomorrow's final reflection on "When you give..." we'll take a closer look at how the reality of God's kingdom affects our giving.
[For a few other thoughts I've written on hurry and our lives with God, see "Prayer and Hurry" and "Will This Cause Me to be in a Hurry?"]
A Prayer for the Day:
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.*
A Prayer for the Week:
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.*
