CityU in China
Since 1996 City University of Seattle has offered degree programs in China, including the Master of Business Administration, the Bachelor of Arts in Management (Logistics) and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems. CityU also offers opportunities for students in China to complete their degrees at CityU's headquarters in Seattle.
Teaching Locations
City University of Seattle has offered its Master in Business Administration in Beijing, China since 1996 and has more than 2,000 alumni in China. The MBA program in Beijing provides an education avenue to professionals who are unable to travel to the U.S. to earn the degree. Through an innovative executive-style format, CityU faculty members from the U.S. travel to Beijing to deliver instruction.
Since 2011, CityU has offered educational programs in Shenzhen including the Bachelor of Arts in Management (Logistics) and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems. Shenzhen is located across the water from Hong Kong. Through an agreement, students in Shenzhen can study one year of CityU's bachelor programs in-country and complete the fourth year at CityU's home campus in downtown Seattle.
Partner Schools
University of International Business and Economics
Together, CityU and the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) offer an MBA program designed for professionals in China who wish to earn a U.S. degree. This unique program is taught by both CityU and UIBE professors.
Founded in 1951 and formerly called Beijing Institute of Foreign Trade. In May 1997, UIBE was put on a list of universities for Project 211 – a governmental program aimed at converting about 100 Chinese universities into world-renowned, high-quality academic institutions in 21st century. In 2000, UIBE became a state university under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, and that June, merged with China Institute of Finance.
Shenzhen Polytechnic
Since 2011 CityU has offered educational programs at Shenzhen Polytechnic in Shenzhen, China. Students at Shenzhen Polytechnic can enroll in CityU's Bachelor of Arts in Management (Logistics) and Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems. This partnership allows students to complete their fourth year of a bachelor's degree at CityU's home campus in Seattle.
Shenzhen Polytechnic was founded in 1993 and was recently ranked as China's No. 1 polytechnic college in China. The college is co-administrated by Guangdong Provincial Government and Shenzhen Municipal Government and is a full-time institution of higher learning in applied technique and management. Within Shenzhen Polytechnic, there are 13 schools that include 92 specialties.
Wuhan University
Wuhan University and CityU have a degree completion agreement that allows students to start a Master of Business Administration in China and transfer to CityU to complete their MBA in Seattle. Wuhan University was founded in 1893 and is a national key comprehensive university with teaching disciplines in philosophy, economics, law, sciences, engineering, medicine, and management, among others.
In addition, City University of Seattle has an agreement with Changchun University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) is a relatively new comprehensive university in northern China. CUFE has an enrollment of more than 12,000 students studying fields such as business, law, and technology. Through a partnership between CityU, CUFE and Vysoka Skola Financni a Spravni (a longtime CityU partner in the Czech Republic), students have an opportunity to earn three degrees – one from China, one from the Czech Republic, and one from the U.S.

Now, of course, everyone, rightly, is talking about the subject ...
Turkey, however, has an increasingly ambivalent attitude towards its Ottoman past. The aggressive secularism of the modern (post-Ataturk) Turkish State is being toned down considerably due to the resurgence of political Islam. A recent symptom of this is the first recitation of the Koran in Hagia Sophia for 85 years [see here] - something unimaginable only a few years ago and somewhat revealingly insensitive given the desperate plight of non-Muslims in the wider region..
Over the years the Turkish record (under democratic or military rule) on human rights and freedom of speech is not a particularly proud one, nor is its largely uncondemned attempt to eradicate archeological evidence of Asia Minor's Roman / Byzantine and Armenian, Christian past.
Perhaps our own politicians should think more than twice before advocating, as they are even now, closer ties between Turkey and the E.U.
"...It is the responsibility not only of the Armenian people and the universal Church to recall all that has taken place, but of the entire human family, so that the warnings from this tragedy will protect us from falling into a similar horror, which offends against God and human dignity. Today too, in fact, these conflicts at times degenerate into unjustifiable violence, stirred up by exploiting ethnic and religious differences. All who are Heads of State and of International Organizations are called to oppose such crimes with a firm sense of duty, without ceding to ambiguity or compromise...."
[The full text of the Pope's address can be found here]
We should also be glad that the BBC has finally woken up to what is happening to the Christians of the Middle East in our own time. A good programme [link here] by Jane Corbin investigates the heart-breaking reality.
The death, after a courageous battle with cancer, of the American Cardinal Francis George [an appreciation here] highlights the contemporary lack of intellectual ballast in the modern Church (ecclesial bodies of all traditions). He is, of course, remembered here mostly for his remarks about the likely fate of his successors:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."
Closer to home, in the run up to the General Election, the Archbishop of Wales urges us [full address here] to cast our votes (as the Church in Wales website puts it) for 'the common good.'
Most of what Dr Morgan says about Christian concern for the poor and vulnerable in society probably needs to be said more often - if from a more non-tribal standpoint: his references are telling in this regard - but, and, most importantly, the precise ways in which we can identify and work towards that common good, is a rather more contested subject (both in the Church and in political life) than the Archbishop's Governing Body address seems to credit.
And back to the BBC; there was an interesting radio programme [here] which, as well as a (determinedly non-theological) attempt to define 'the good life,' included a piece about the way our politicians and their advisors use language more to disguise rather than illuminate. An abuse of the gift of speech most certainly: it's no wonder the electorate remains so obdurately cynical ...
As to the important issue as to who can we now vote for, Deacon Nick Donnelly [here], from a traditionalist Roman Catholic standpoint, poses some important questions for all of us:
"....I consider voting at a General Election to be a solemn and binding duty on every citizen because countless men and women have given their lives to protect our freedom as a democracy. But what do Christians do when all the political parties advocate a whole variety of policies that we consider immoral? I'm sure I'm not the only one to conclude that no political party at this General Election represents our moral world view as a Christians...."It would also seem that the Greens are now the real 'nasty party' [here] with its less than articulate leader backing a complete economic, cultural and artistic boycott of the State of Israel, for all its many faults, the only recognisable democratic state in the Middle East.
As 'greenness' (as opposed to responsible, orthodox, Christian stewardship of the natural world) seems to be highly fashionable at the moment, at least among our 'opinion-formers,' here is a review of 'The Green Bible' (foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu) - yes, really, you couldn't make it up - I can't resist posting this excerpt from the article:
"...Still more ill judged is the over-egging of the rhetorical pudding. The project website tells us that "with over 1,000 references to the earth in the Bible, compared to 490 references to heaven and 530 references to love, the Bible carries a powerful message for the earth." I am not sure what to make of this argumentum ad arithmeticum, unless the point is that the earth is approximately 1.88 times more important to God than love and 2.04 times more important than heaven. Based on my own research into this topic and following the same method, I am prepared to say that the earth is 7.04 times more important to God than donkeys (which are mentioned 142 times in the Bible).
The Green Bible presents us with a curious kind of natural theology: We start with things we know to be true from trusted sources—Al Gore, perhaps?—and then we turn to Scripture to measure it against those preexisting and reliable authorities. And what a relief to discover that God is green. Because we already know that it's good to be green—what we didn't know is whether God measures up to that standard..."

"The question is, are we willing to suffer the pain? Because wearing chains never hurts as much as breaking them."
The fall of our nation
August 28, 2010
Every time I read the news, the headlines get worse. Housing starts down, the stock market down, inflation this, unemployment that … It got my husband to wondering, why is the overall attitude in America as bad as it is?
Before you give a knee-jerk answer of "Because I'm unemployed, stupid!" or some such equally valid (but cursory) reply, hear me out.
There seems to be a curious apathy rampant in our country lately. Our overall attitude is lethargic, almost indifferent to the actions of our government.
We see astounding new threats to our liberties daily. Government agents can legally sneak onto your property and put a GPS tracking device on your car without you knowing about it. The EPA is petitioning to ban lead bullets as a back-door way to reduce the availability of ammunition. Rep. Pete Stark smugly admits at a town-hall meeting that "the federal government can do most anything in this country." And sadly, he's right.
The Rest…HERE

Calcutta Saturday 8 August 2015 , page 24
Bonsai man back in city
- A Chinese born and brought up in Calcutta.
- An IIT engineer who turned into a gardener.
- A London resident who advised Prince Charles on how to set up a Japanese garden.
Peter Chan wears many hats.
On Friday, he was teaching a group of Calcutta ladies and a few men how to prune plants.
The 75-year-old electrical engineer from IIT Kharagpur, who owns the Herons Bonsai, Britain's premier bonsai nursery in Surrey, travelled to England in 1963 and about two decades later converted his "hobby into a business".
"In those days people knew little about bonsai. Then at one point my career stagnated... so I said I'll change to something else," Chan said. He graduated from the IIT in 1962.
He advised Prince Charles on how to set up a Japanese garden. "I used to advise him more than 20 years ago... how to set up a Japanese garden.... I visited him twice."
On Friday, the former energy policy adviser in the British government's department of energy applied his technical training to what he felt was a "mathematical problem".

"When you look at a plant, it's like a mathematical problem and you have to find a solution," he said during a break in pruning plants at an Alipore Road address.
Chan studied at Calcutta Boys' School from 1946 to 1956, when the entire school had "only 300 students", and then science at St. Xavier's College at the intermediate level.
He followed in his father's footsteps and did engineering. "But I didn't enjoy engineering, that's why I got out of it. But I am grateful for the training IIT gave me because it trains the mind to analyse and do things. Once you get the training you can do anything."
Chan is passing through the city on his way to Kharagpur where his alma mater would present him with the most distinguished alumnus award for 2015.
NGO Jyotirmai's bonsai chapter invited him and member Parul Swarup hosted his two-hour workshop at her Alipore Road home.
Speaking about the city, Chan said: "I always like to come to Calcutta because it's my place of my birth... I have a special fondness for Calcutta."

A systematic review of state-based test tools
Model-based testing (MBT) is about testing a software system using a model of its behaviour. To benefit fully from MBT, automation support is required. The goal of this systematic review is determining the current state of the art of prominent MBT tool support where we focus on tools that rely on state-based models. We automatically searched different source of information including digital libraries and mailing lists dedicated to the topic. Precisely defined criteria are used to compare selected tools and comprise support for test adequacy and coverage criteria, level of automation for various testing activities and support for the construction of test scaffolding. Simple adequacy criteria are supported but not advanced ones; data(-flow) criteria are seldom supported; support for creating test scaffolding varies a great deal. The results of this review should be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders: software companies interested in selecting the most appropriate MBT tool for their needs; organizations willing to invest into creating MBT tool support; researchers interested in setting research directions.

This one is in the extremely popular Riley Blake chevrons with some medium dots to coordinate. It's so summery and girly! The girls were loving modeling these, so I suppose I need to add two more to my sewing list!
That ruffly little bum gets me every time! And I love the huge bow around the neck! You know how much I appreciate a giant bow.
Joel Dewberry is still getting plenty of love here too. I've been enamored with the Heirloom collection since I first saw it and I still love it every time I work with it.
The colors just make me happy and the prints are so gorgeous! I know, I gush...but when something fits your style so perfectly, it's hard not to!
I know I've gone on and on about Little Lizard King patterns and I promise I'm not being paid by them (unless they want to, hint hint! :)) They are just really great quality patterns and I've enjoyed using them. The style is right on with the boutique look that is so popular right now!
Now I'm off to sew some more! Once I finish the 14 I'm working on (no, I am not kidding), I think I'm taking a sewing vacation for a couple of weeks! Ha! Have a fabulous week, my friends!

10 Things to Consider As You Choose Your Mobile Device Management Solution
By Nikhil Nayak, Product Analyst, ManageEngine
The past decade has seen an increasing trend in employees using mobile devices like smartphones and tablets to aid in their work. This trend has fostered organizations to adopt practices like bring-your-own-device (BYOD) with hopes of improving employee productivity and efficiency. There is, however, a downside to this because such practices pose major risks concerning corporate data security and data management. In order to ward off these risks, enterprises seek out reliable mobile device management (MDM) solutions.
There are many solutions out there, but selecting the right solution for your enterprise may seem challenging - especially if you're not aware of what to look out for. Here is a list of 10 things to consider as you choose your MDM solution.
1. Understand your business needs and security standards
Every industry is different in its functioning. Defense, health care, IT, retail and others each have their own security requirements. For example, a nation's defense sector will have far more protocols and security clearance requirements when compared with its logistics industry. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of your industry's standards to ensure that there is no ambiguity while performing research on the available features of an MDM solution.
2. Know what's in store while embracing mobility
An enterprise that decides to go mobile should be aware of the associated pros and cons. Let's say that your organization supports BYOD, which allows employees to use their personal mobile devices to perform company-related tasks such as accessing work-related content. Employees would want the ability to complete routine tasks from their smartphones during their downtime so they can focus on mission-critical work while at their desks. This invariably poses a risk in the form of data leakage due to factors such as malware or device theft.
3. Understand app management and security
Managing mobility in organizations involves combating security risks concerning devices and apps. Existing security awareness programs are targeted toward desktop users. If an enterprise is looking to adapt to a mobile environment, these programs have to be revisited to focus on the usage and risks involved with mobile devices. An enterprise should educate its employees to use trusted sources and avoid suspicious third-party sites for app downloads. It should discourage the habit of tapping "Continue" during app installations. An ideal MDM solution has features that prevent suspicious apps from being installed.
4. Segment your organization based on level of trust
Segments in an enterprise can be either hierarchical or departmental. Regardless, certain employees might have access to data that won't be available to others, such as a taxi service provider whose drivers require passengers' pickup and drop-off locations. Their mobile devices can be provisioned to show only this data on an app. However, their superiors can access further details such as passenger email ID and age, which they can use to make data-driven decisions. To maintain tiered protection, top-level employees require stronger encryption and more flexibility.
5. Set policies and restrictions for devices and apps
An ideal MDM solution would let you push policies onto mobile devices. By setting up policies, you can restrict certain device functions. Consider the following situation: Your company has come up with a breakthrough product idea in a market with no other offering that is even remotely similar to yours. Your R&D team is working on materializing this product. To ensure that there is not even the slightest data leak, you need to disable data distribution by preventing local printing or data storage.
6. Identify non-compliant devices
Jailbroken and rooted devices always pose a greater risk because they're an easy target for malware and cyberattacks. You need a system that can quarantine devices so threats cannot spread after detecting malware, app risks, network attacks and other threats. Enterprise data is regularly compromised simply because employees' devices aren't compliant with the enterprise's security policies. An ideal MDM solution should detect whether a device is compliant. It should also let you device lock or remote wipe non-compliant devices and bar them from your organization's network.
7. Create awareness among users
Employees might find an MDM solution to be an invasion of their privacy. While this isn't true, you must take steps to ensure that there are no misconceptions regarding user privacy invasion. An enterprise has to educate its employees on the need for securing mobile devices, while also making them feel comfortable about the MDM setup. This can be done either by developing an end-user license agreement (EULA) or a general acceptance agreement that is shared and signed by the employees.
8. Audit regularly for compliance
Reporting and auditing are common approaches for guaranteeing compliance with regulations and organizational policies. In order to prove compliance, you would have to run regular audits. Along with running regular audits, an ideal MDM solution should be able to push secure apps and enable patching and updates for both devices and apps to ensure that the devices are compliant.
9. Embrace new technology with a bit of caution
There are plenty of device manufacturers out there, each running its own flavor of operating system - be it Android, iOS, Windows, Blackberry, Symbian and others. And the variety doesn't stop there. Every day, enhancements are made to devices to make them faster, increase their storage space and more. To make sure that your employees have what they need to be effective, you would have to survey and study every new device enhancement and app technology. Ideally, the bugs have been worked out before spending your money.
10. Deploy a good MDM solution
In mobile device management, no single solution is one-size-fits-all. An MDM solution is customizable to match an individual organization's requirements. Many industries such as health care, retail and IT can use MDM to their advantage through its ability to cater to their unique needs. Ask your vendor to help you adopt and establish effective day‐to‐day MDM practices.

Longevity News & Review
By Dr. Robert Goldman
For The Bali Times
Longevity News and Review provides readers with the latest information in breakthroughs pertaining to the extension of the healthy human lifespan. These news summaries are compiled by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M; www.worldhealth.net), a non-profit medical society composed of 22,000 physician and scientist members from 105 nations, united in a mission to advance biomedical technologies to detect, prevent and treat aging related disease and to promote research into methods to retard and optimize the human aging process. Dr. Ronald Klatz, M.D., D.O., A4M President, and Dr. Robert Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., D.O., FAASP, A4M Chairman, physician co-founders of the anti-aging medical movement, distill these headlines and provide their commentary.
Coffee Slashes Risk of Alzheimer's Disease
A growing body of science suggests that coffee consumption may improve mental function. A previous study found that coffee consumption may significantly reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Miia Kivipelto, from the University of Kuopio (Finland), and colleagues completed a 21-year study involving 1,409 men and women, ages 65 to 79 at the study's concluding point. The team found that those study subjects who drank three to five cups of coffee a day at midlife lowered their risk of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease by 65 percent, compared to those who drank no or a little coffee. Interestingly, midlife tea consumption was not found to affect the risk of dementia or AD later in life.
Dr Klatz remarks: More than 26 million people worldwide were estimated to be living with Alzheimer's disease in 2006; by 2050, AD will afflict more than 106 million people. While we await further study as to the exact mechanism of how coffee may exert a protective effect against dementia or AD, these findings may convert into a viable, cost-effective and widely accessible dietary intervention to prevent or delay the onset of dementia or AD.
Plant Antioxidants May Boost Bone Health as We Age
Carotenoids are a group of antioxidants occurring in plants. Katherine Tucker, from Tufts University (Massachusetts), and colleagues completed a four-year study of 213 men and 390 women, each age 75+. The team found that an increased intake of carotenoids, and particularly lycopene, was associated with some level of protection against losses in bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine in women and at the hip in men. In addition, BMD in the hips of men was also associated with intakes of total carotenoids, beta-carotene and lutein plus zeaxanthin. The researchers postulate that the carotenoids may play a protective role in skeletal health via their antioxidant activity. Previous reports have suggested that oxidative stress may increase bone resorption, though other mechanisms may play a contributory role as well.
Dr. Goldman observes: With the gains in life expectancies worldwide creating a swelling, aging population, bone health is quickly becoming a major public health issue. With the lifetime risk for a woman to have an osteoporotic fracture at 30-40 percent and a 13-percent risk in men, it is paramount to discover simple, effective and widely accessible dietary interventions to improve bone health as societies age.
For Seniors in Good Health, Light to Moderate Alcohol Consumption May Ward Off Disabilities
A number of previous studies have suggested that moderate alcohol intake is associated with less disability, and a new study completed by Arun S. Karlamangla, from the University of California Los Angeles), and colleagues is the latest to reaffirm the benefits of light to moderate drinking in men and women who are in good health. The team analyzed data from 4.276 patients, ages 50+, enrolled in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey's Epidemiologic Follow-Up Study. The researchers classified those who drank fewer than 15 drinks a week, and men who drank less than five drinks per day and women who drank less than four drinks a day. After a five-year follow-up period, healthy moderate drinkers had a 17.7-percent chance of becoming disabled or dying within five years, compared with 26.7 percent for those who did not drink at all, and 21.4 pecent for heavy drinkers. In addition, healthy older study subjects who drank moderately also experienced a 3- to 8-percent reduction in the odds of developin
g disability with each additional drink per week (up to nine drinks for women, 15 for men), thereby suggesting a causal relation between modest alcohol consumption and warding off disabilities in healthy adults. Among those who rated their health as fair or poor, no benefits were seen with alcohol consumption of any degree.
Comments Dr. Klatz: In that alcohol may exert an ameliorating effect on athersclerosis, this study's findings reinforce the notion that light to moderate alcohol consumption may confer a protective effect against disabilities that compromise independent living.
Anti-aging medicine is the fastest-growing medical specialty throughout the world and is founded on the application of advanced scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. It is a healthcare model promoting innovative science and research to prolong the healthy lifespan in humans. As such, anti-aging medicine is based on solid scientific principles of responsible medical care that are consistent with those applied in other preventive health specialties. The goal of anti-aging medicine is not to merely prolong the total years of an individual's life, but to ensure that those years are enjoyed in a productive and vital fashion.

As we approach the 9th Annual Make Your Mark Golf Outing, we wanted to send a special thanks to Forever Kids Foundation for their continued support over the past year.
On August 3, Forever Kids hosted the 3rd Annual FORE! Kids Golf Outing at Seven Bridges, and put on a great event. The event brought two great foundations together to help raise awareness and much needed funds for pediatric cancer research and financial support for the families battling this terrible disease. Earlier this year Make Your Mark was extremely pleased to find out Forever Kids was going to donate 100% of the proceeds from the 3rd Annual FORE! Kids Golf Outing, but words can't describe how we felt once this great foundation told us the golf outing raised $20,000.
We have been truly blessed to have such a great partner throughout 2015. Mark's enthusiasm and passion to help kids battling cancer will never be matched, but we are confident Forever Kids and all of their supporters are getting a big thumbs up from above. #FundTheFight

SAIW held its 69th Annual dinner and Awards on Friday October 20, 2017 at Emperors Palace in Gauteng. With actor Jason Greer as Master of Ceremonies and the Supreme 3 singing Mowtown era classics, record numbers of welding industry stakeholders turned up to celebrate the industry's success.
"This occasion offers a wonderful opportunity to get together with colleagues and friends and to acknowledge and reward those who have made significant contributions to the Institute and the welding fraternity at large over the past year," says SAIW President Morris Maroga in his welcome address.
"Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice and is never the result of selfishness," he continues, quoting American author Napoleon Hill. "Through these awards, the Institute strives towards world-class performance and to build a high achieving South African nation," he says, before welcoming past SAIW presidents, Willie Rankin, Andy Koursaris and Robin Williamson; previous SAIW executive director, Jim Guild; award winners; and guests.
He also congratulated Afrox on its 90th Anniversary this year. "We acknowledge this commendable achievement and we are extremely grateful that you have chosen to celebrate your anniversary with us tonight," Maroga says.
Executive director Sean Blake follows Maroga onto the podium: "Despite the difficult economic position that industry finds itself in now, it is extremely encouraging to see the tremendous support that industry has provided to SAIW. Once again we have had an excellent response to our annual dinner, selling all of the available tables for this venue," says Blake.
"I am also most grateful at the contributions we have received from our eight event sponsors tonight. Without your support this event would not have been possible," he adds before also congratulating Afrox on its 90th Anniversary.
Turning attention to SAIW's achievements in the past year, Blake reports that the SAIW Welding Inspector programme was fully converted across to the IIW International Welding Inspector (IWI) programme during 2017. From the beginning of this year we started offering the IWI Basic programme in place of the SAIW Inspector Level 1 course.
"Skills development is a key area to ensure the success of the South African economy," he continues. "In order to address the skills shortage problem, SAIW has entered into a long-term agreement with the Department of Higher Education and Training to assist in the pilot implementation of the new QCTO Welder programme in two TVET colleges, before extending the programme to all other applicable colleges," Blake says, adding that SAIW believes that this will result in an effective welding artisan training programme for industry.
"We have also made strides with the SAIW Welding Challenge. Late last year we ran this competition with both a senior and junior category, where the junior category winner fed into the WorldSkills programme. Two South African representatives competed in the Arc Cup in China and, I am very pleased to report, Samuekelo Mbambani won first prize in the Student Project category.
"SAIW, along with Lincoln Electric, also invested extensively in the preparation of Philippus Terblanche for the WorldSkills competition in Abu Dhabi," he continues, adding that the results of WorldSkills show that there is still much work to be done in terms of welder skills in South Africa.
SAIW's ISO 3834 Manufacturer Certification Scheme, Blake reports, now has 154 certified companies on the register, "a tremendous achievement" that "would not have been possible without the support of our industry partners".
SAIW is continuing to expand and next year "we will be offering NDT courses from our branch in Cape Town, which is currently being expanded to accommodate this additional activity. We are also expanding our ISO 9712 SAQCC NDT scheme based on our ICNDT accreditation," he says.
"I would like to pay a special tribute to Jim Guild who completed his term as IAB Chairman and member of the IIW board at the Shanghai Annual Assembly. Jim's work and achievements in IIW have done both SAIW and South Africa proud. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks for his contribution," Blake adds.
"I look forward to reporting further positive SAIW and industry developments at future annual dinners, but for now, please enjoy this evening with us," he concludes.
The SAIW Awards
Following dinner and entertainment from Supreme 3, Jason Greer invites Sean Blake and Morris Maroga back onto the stage for the presentation of the SAIW Awards for 2017.

StudentRelate- CRM for HE
StudentRelate is a service management and casework application designed for HE teams providing services to students. It was originally used successfully for Student Services teams supporting students with disabilities. It is a customised service relationship administration solution designed to improve service quality and reduce cost. With different customisation packages it is used throughout Student Services departments in Universities and Further Education institutions. Since 1996 JI Software has been developing the capabilities of StudentRelate with the addition of specially developed add-on modules.
Functions Include:
- Basic student data record 'card'
- Student-at-a-glance quick reference screen
- Student support budget management
- Classroom support worker timetabling (manages thousands of individual classroom support appointments)
- Data integration linkages with student registration systems (data feed module transferring data from registry)
- Student opinion surveys
- Relationship service history including notes and e-mails
- Integration with Outlook
- Reporting, statistics and graphs
Where there are service relationships in which there is a duty of care component, there are vital compliance issues. Quality of service for students in HE and FE is covered by legislation. We start by working in partnership with each prospective user of the StudentRelate system to define how the relationships work. We define relationship processes that support the way staff work. StudentRelate supports the staff who make the relationships real. That is what our relationship administration system is all about.
Examples of this kind of need have existed for some time in the not-for-profit sector. Since 1996 JI Software has implemented StudentRelate in 16 universities. Student Services staff in these Universities use the StudentRelate system to create and maintain better relationships with disabled students. Because of the huge number of complexities in the needs of disabled students, support staff need access to more than paper files. There are also substantial analysis and reporting requirements with funding questions. Other types of analyses inform the planning and provision of future resources and services. One of the most significant benefits is being able to share information within Student Services and with with Faculty and other staff (detailed access control rules protect privacy)
The management of classroom support worker appointments is an increasingly complex problem. Fitting the availability and skills of the support worker to the timetabling patterns of many students is done by the StudentRelate timetabling module. The system caters for travel distance between lectures, non-uniform start times and lecture patterns that vary from week to week. Manual systems have been created to deal with this but begin to break down above 30 support workers and mistakes can be made. As the number of students needing classroom support nears 80 it often means empoying 2 staff and then paper and spreadsheets are no longer safe.
For drop-in clinics and other appointment-based work with students, there is a benefit from having a front-desk appointment management system with support staff availability shown in a simple columnar view. This also works for phone-in clinics. Students simply provide their registration numbers and appointments are booked with a few mouse clicks.
JI Software remains committed to the view that treating all students equally regardless of the complexities of need cannot be done with traditional paper systems. There have been many attempts to build 'bespoke' systems to apply IT to the task. So far, nothing matches StudentRelate in these areas and in productivity gain!
If you are in Student Services, it may useful to have a personal discussion of the issues that face your support staff. Please call Heather Legate on 01234-214004 to find out more about how StudentRelate could help. There is also more detailed information at www.studentrelate.co.uk.

2016 ILLUMINATI Superbowl Halftime Show - Beyonce, Katy Perry, Madonna & Coldplay
Few things remind me more that we live in a world influenced by the "god of this age" who would love nothing more than to drag the soul of children and adults alike to the pit of hell, which is his eternal destiny, than Superbowl halftime shows. Nothing like a massive occult ritual to influence and control minds already ripe for the coming of the antichrist, not to mention to publicly worship their false god. So who is ready for a little football today and the next installment of Satanic Illuminati rituals?
You know its coming.
Yet, I am reminded by several scriptural admonitions; of our Lord in Matthew 24, "Take heed that no man deceive you." and the words of St.Paul in Galatians 6 : "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." And also of Peter in his first epistle: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

Jesusland by Julia Scheeres
In Julia Scheeres's achingly confessional memoir, Jesusland is more of an attitude than a geographic location. The title refers to a world where children are raised according to a type of fundamentalist Christian theology in which physical violence is invariably the remedy for adolescent indiscretions.
The author's experiences growing up in a Christian fundamentalist family, including the horrific year she spent at a reform school in the Dominican Republic, are one part of Jesusland. The other is the author's relationship to her black brother David, who is adopted into a biracial family at the height of the popularity of the television show Diff`rent Strokes. That's an important detail because it reflects the divide between the strides of mainstream culture of the 1980s and the community in which the Scheeres family lives. It is also the aspect of that Jesusland that makes Scheeres's book a welcome addition to the memoir genre.
The book opens on 16-year-old Julia living an adolescence which might appear normal to outsiders. At school, she's an awkward kid trudging through the normal trials of the age. At home, she lives in fear of her two Calvinist missionary parents. Her mother spends more time sending care packages to missionaries than with her children, and her father, when he's around, exacts his own vicious brand of not "sparing the rod and spoiling the child" on her two adopted black brothers. Scheeres writes that the two boys are the family's cross to bear, because "to reject a black baby would have been un-Chrstian, a sin. God was testing them." With guilt so clear it feels palpable, Scheeres recalls the treatment of her brothers at the hands of her parents, their school-age peers, and the community as well as the guilt she feels for the modest chidings she receives.
The children's home life falls apart quickly, with the eldest black brother Jerome lost to the state juvenile delinquent system and David shipped off to the Escuala Caribe Christian reform school in the Dominican Republic. Julia, after her own fall from grace, follows David, believing that he is all she has left of family.
The camp is little more than a re-education facility, a place where physical labor and brainwashing are used to break campers' spirits and obliterate their identities. The children are forced to repent for sins they don't know they've committed, and are awarded merit points in categories from cleanliness to "courtesy and respect towards people, places and things." Campers rat each other out to move up in the ranks. The lesson Julia gleans from this system intended to instill in her a love of God? "Trust no one."
Sprinkled throughout are flashback scenes of Julia and David's relationship. These are the most touching moments in the book, inviting the reader into a friendship that captures the best of childhood, even as the children are confronted with adult problems. We are given a veritable biography of David Scheeres -- one that makes us yearn, as David does, for this family to pull it together.
Because she is publishing her book in an age when memoirists are taken to task for embellishing -- or even inventing -- the facts, Scheeres, a journalist by profession, makes every effort o support Jesusland through documents on her website. These include the journal David kept, her personal file from the camp, and photographs she took after returning to the school a decade and a half later. It is unfortunate that memoirists must go to such lengths, but in this case it does make the story even more effective.
That tale is laid out in the kind of spare prose common in the genre today -- storytelling that aspires more to conversational intimacy with the reader than to great literature. The yearnings of adolescence come alive in the author's hands, even if her mordant tone sometimes undermines the seriousness of her subject. But that is a quibble -- one that suggests the author didn't understand the gravity of her situation until much later.
Scheeres's depiction of how she navigated her captor's game, as well as her compassionate rendering of her brother David's life easily place Jesusland among the most accessible and penetrating first person accounts of the violence perpetrated in our country in the name of religion. The book's epilogue, although heart-breaking, leaves us with the consolation that the construct of family is our own to shape.

Wikipedia and Reddit are turning off the lights to protest two bills that have been working in our legislative branches that would change the Internet forever as we know it. SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, are bills that have been crafted and sponsored by entertainment giants like the MPAA and RIAA without input from technology leaders or even the Congressional technology or telecommunication committees. While the goal of stopping piracy is admirable, breaking the Internet on the way and especially in the social, user-generated Web 2.0 world we connect to, piracy won't be stopped and big sites will be able to bully smaller sites.
Fortunately, it seems the White House is on our side. Though this is a brick wall for the bill, it doesn't mean everything is free and clear or that the bill is dead in the water.
To protest the bill and give a preview of what a censored Internet would be like, popular sites are going dark starting tomorrow. They will either be showing a message informing people why SOPA/PIPA are bad idea or redirecting traffic to a site like americancensorship.org. Some of the sites participating in the blackout include:
- Wikipedia
- Mozilla
- WordPress.org
- BoingBoing
- Cheezburger network
- and many others as listed at SOPAStrike.com
Go Daddy has already felt the wrath of some of the protests. Though the results are debatable, the public image of Go Daddy was seriously tarnished and they have reversed their stance on the legislation.
If you run a WordPress site, you can show your support by having your site black out or simply show a "Stop SOPA" ribbon with either of these plugins.
While the web will shrink considerably tomorrow with some of the largest sites offline, it is for a good cause. Hopefully the message to congress will be loud and clear. In case they don't get the message, you should consider contacting your representatives directly to tell them that a broken Internet is not acceptable.

Good Morning America!
My XL fat penguin made an appearance on Good Morning America yesterday! Tory Johnson was on the show talking about how to make money working from home. The main star of the Etsy portion of the segment was Chanel (aka junkprints) who was also featured in the New York Post related print article this week. My penguin seemed pretty proud of himself sitting on the table, though. :)

Announcement: Brooklyn, NY
Some of you may have already heard the news, but I need an official announcement with pictures to prove it.
Gubicza and I moved to Brooklyn, NY to build my stuffed animal business. I'll still be working for Big Blue Dot remotely, but I have a studio space to call my own. We share a large warehouse space with many other talented artists: DesiraPesta, Junkprints, RuffeoHeartsLilSnotty, LedThread, Reiter8, Moon Tree Press, CubistLiterature, Misery&CoNYC, Mike Jacobsen, Tough Dumplin Studios and Rob Kalin (Rokali).
Here are some photos of my new space. If I lean my head out the window, I can see the Statue of Liberty. How cool is that?

My first big plush commission!
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) asked me to create 8 plush versions of their new characters, the Uh-Ohs, for an upcoming trade show. The Uh-Ohs are little block characters that are cute, curious and careless. They always get into trouble and kids have to make sure to keep them safe. Check out the web site for more info about the Uh-Ohs: http://theuhohs.org
This job was a big undertaking, but I had a lot of fun creating them. They're just so adorable. I kept the original for my collection (I made some slight modifications to the design before I completed the entire order of 8) and I currently have him riding in the passenger seat of my car. He's not wearing his seat belt, of course, in true Uh-Oh fashion. :)

Fat Octopus
I'm finally offering a "choose your color" octopus in the shop.
It's been almost 3 years since I've made an octopus. Oddly enough, Gubicza and I were surprised how much it looks like Dr. Perfect. It's the same design, but for some reason we weren't expecting it to look so similar.
One of my favorite things about this design is the footy-pajama bottom. It really completes the octopus look and is also lots of fun to hold.

NEW! Fat Fugu (Pufferfish)
My newest item is Fat Fugu. I've wanted to make a pufferfish for a long time, and finally got my chance with a recent custom order! I like this guy so much I want to keep him for myself. He makes me smile every time I look over at him.
I'm thrilled that Etsy brought back its Alchemy feature (you can request custom items from sellers who opt-in to receive requests). It makes it so much easier to manage my shop and the ongoing requests.

Recent Press - U.S. News & World Report
In the current issue of U.S. News & World Report, you will see me mentioned in the article titled, "Avoid Recalls: Make Your Own Toys." It's a small paragraph, but my tricky last name is spelled correctly, and my Etsy username is also mentioned. It's part of the larger issue that features 50 ways to improve your life. This article talks about how you can make your own toys. You never know how much of your interview will make it in the press, and I was hoping to encourage others to try toy making. Here's the text about me:
{Cuddlier creations are also in the realm of possibility, says Jen Gubicza, 28, another Etsy.com seller whose specialty as "sweetestpea" is chubby animals. Making toys such as her signature penguins and hedgehogs involves some effort, and the finished product probably won't look as polished as toy store stuff—even graphic designer Gubicza describes her first attempt as "lumpy." But the toy is bound to be more memorable. "No one else has this. It's one of a kind," she says.}

Siena Poll: WFP challenge would damage Cuomo's margin in November
ALBANY—As Governor Andrew Cuomo heads into the spring and summer campaign seasons, he holds a commanding 30-point lead in a hypothetical matchup against Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, but that lead would be cut in half if a liberal third-party candidate enters the race, according to a newly released Siena Poll.
If Cuomo faces Astorino alone, he would likely win with 58 percent of the vote to Astorino's 28 percent. A third-party candidate could claim as much as 24 percent of the total vote, leaving Cuomo with 39 percent of the total, much less than the landslide victory he's been hoping to achieve in his bid for a second term.
Story Continued Below
If a hypothetical third-party candidate on the left becomes a reality, in other words, it could pose a real headache for Cuomo. In recent weeks, the Working Families Party has been threatening to nominate its own candidate for governor, declining so far to promise Cuomo its endorsement or party line in advance of his re-election campaign.
Cuomo had the WFP line in 2010.
The Siena poll shows that if the WFP runs a candidate perceived to be more liberal or progressive than the governor, it would slash his likely margin of victory in half.
Cuomo's favorability rating stands at 57 percent, still high for a sitting governor, but his negatives have also been climbing.
About 38 percent of voters polled hold an unfavorable opinion of the governor, a rate that has been inching up over the past eight months. A 63 percent majority of voters think the governor has been effective in office, but the number of voters dissatisfied with his performance has increased, with 30 percent saying they believe he has not been effective during his first three years in office.
About half of voters say they will likely vote to re-elect Cuomo, while 49 percent say they either prefer someone else or don't have an opinion.
The poll included other mixed news for the governor.
Earlier this month, Cuomo was widely criticized when he announced he would disband the Moreland Commission, the panel he created in 2013 to investigate public corruption, in exchange for lawmakers passing new ethics reforms as part of the state budget.
In a rare and very public rebuke of that decision, Southern District U.S. attorney Preet Bharara called Cuomo's decision to shutter the panel "premature," and asked the commission to hand over its files to his own office for further investigation.
Nearly two-thirds of voters, 63 percent, said they sided with Bharara in the disagreement, while just 23 percent said they believed Cuomo was justified in his decision to close the commission. Most voters, 84 percent, said they believed corruption is either a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem in New York state government, and a 53 percent majority said the ethics reforms Cuomo got in exchange for agreeing to end the Moreland Commission were a "bad compromise."
The poll also asked voters to react to ongoing policy debates roiling the state Legislature.
Voters polled were asked to weigh in on Common Core Standards, which have become a flashpoint in the governor's race in New York and have also become the staging ground for a national political battle. The Siena poll showed that voters are largely familiar with the Common Core requirements, but have widely varying opinions on the standards' difficulty and effectiveness.
More than half of voters said they were either "not very confident" or "not confident at all" that Common Core would ready students for college or careers after they graduated high school. And roughly 71 percent said that changes in public education over the past three years had either sent the state in the wrong direction or had had no impact on the quality of education.
Voters said nearly 2 to 1 they would rather see the state legalize medical marijuana than go ahead with the governor's limited proposal to allow some hospitals to dispense it. But a majority, 52 percent, still oppose legalizing recreational use of the drug.
New Yorkers are still split on the issue of hydrofracking, with 41 percent in favor of it and 43 percent opposed.
The poll, conducted between April 12 and 17, surveyed 772 registered voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

"Customer service has eroded over the past decade for a variety of reasons — low wages, lack of training, exponential growth, to name a few. Few companies have the blend of corporate culture, training and opportunities for advancement that makes employees surpass expectations…
…In the restaurant business, quality is difficult to gauge because most customers don't complain — they simply go elsewhere. To amp up its service, Furio began a day-after-dining program to gauge customer satisfaction: The Scottsdale restaurant picks diners at random from the reservation book and contacts them about their experience.
"We look at every single comment," says Stephanie Eglin, director of marketing for Anthem Restaurants, which owns Furio. "When somebody gives negative feedback, the owner himself makes the call if he's able to. This type of endeavor is not costly, and we're able to gain a lot of valuable feedback…"

When you read modern newspapers, are you sometimes dragged down by their grounding in reality? Are even the ones that flagrantly make things up a little too factual for you? If so, you may find that you were born in the wrong era. What you need is beautifully designed, titillating nonsense.
Step forward, The Illustrated Police News.
A forerunner to our modern tabloids, the Illustrated Police News was a salacious proto-rag, a collection of oddities so laughably tragic and lurid that British people bought it for almost 75 years, despite it bearing as much relation to real news as The Very Hungry Caterpillar does to veterinary science.
As was the norm with Victorian audiences, murder and the macabre sold for the Illustrated Police News, with tales of 'singular catastrophes in the mines' and 'abhorrent treatment of a nun'. Obviously, there's not a great deal of humour in murder, unless we're talking clowns warring over birthday party turf.
However, a bizarre and hilarious infatuation held by The Illustrated Police News was animals being…awful. Really, really awful. Check out this list of obnoxious animals from history.
This in October, 1896. The News suggesting here that an octopus off the coast of England has the strength, awareness and weird, human eyes to identify and get handsy…or tentaclesy or whatever, with these four ladies.
Terrified. TO DEATH. By a donkey. Literally so scared of a donkey, she died only inches from her door as the donkey looked on in cool indifference.
There's genuinely no indication here as to what the diversion was. Bomb scare? Friend outside making ghost noises? Either way, he's drinking your wine and kicking your gravy while you cower outside like some sort of sub-primate chump.
Why is this a police matter?
You can hear the cat telling her she's next.
By 'extraordinary adventure' we're assuming they mean 'dragged painfully for a distance before letting go' rather than 'they travelled around Asia and went into business together refitting speedboats'.
Ah the age old question. If you store a panther in a confined space miles from the nearest land and it escapes, whose fault is it?
'When I ask you to create a diversion, don't leave me in there drinking wine and kicking gravy, call in the bomb squad or something. Ten paces!'

Affordable Bankruptcy Fees
We charge affordable, competitive fees for a bankruptcy filing. However, it is difficult to quote a fee without knowing something about the case. Some clients have only credit card debt and no other complications. Others have several mortgages, investment properties, tax issues and other difficulties. We also need to determine if a Chapter 7 filing is possible and the best course of action, or if a Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 is necessary. The fees vary accordingly.
We have noticed that some firms quote a low fee but change that quote once you have committed. We do not follow that practice. We offer a free consultation at which time we quote a fixed fee and that is the fee you pay for the entire case. Adversary proceedings and contested matters are generally billed at an hourly rate. We will tell you up front if we expect such a proceeding in your case. We want our clients to have as pleasant an experience as possible considering the circumstances. Here is some information that might help.
A Word About Advertised Attorneys Fees
We believe that our fee schedules are competitive with any competent bankruptcy firm in South Florida. Note, however, that with the collapse of the real estate market and declining economy many local lawyers with declining practices in other areas of the law are attempting to practice bankruptcy law to rebuild their practices. Since they have little or no bankruptcy experience they are advertising low fees to find clients. Some of these newcomers to the bankruptcy field are learning as they go. I have looked up the filing history of many of these attorneys on the Pacer filing system. Some have never filed a case. Others have not filed a case for the advertised fee. Don't be fooled by low quoted rates. Make sure you retain competent counsel or it may cost you much more in the long run.
I have been practicing bankruptcy law in the South Florida area for over 30 years. I have worked on literally thousands of cases in bankruptcy court, including Chapter 7's, Chapter 11's and Chapter 13's representing both creditors and debtors. I have filed and defended numerous adversary proceedings and contested matters. I have filed bankruptcy appeals and have represented clients before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeal.
All individuals and businesses who file bankruptcy must attend a meeting of creditors. Recently I have noticed a much larger numbers of attorneys who appear to be new to the practice of bankruptcy attending these meetings. I have observed other attorneys' cases in which exemptions were not properly utilized resulting in great expense or loss by the client, cases that should not have been filed because of nonexempt assets that are lost to the bankruptcy trustee, and many cases that are improperly handled and have to be dismissed or refiled.
A bankruptcy filing is a serious matter with potentially disastrous results. It should only be handled by an attorney with experience in bankruptcy and who knows the local bankruptcy judges, trustees and procedures. We have that experience.
I have have appeared on a number or television and radio shows as a bankruptcy expert and have been quoted as a bankruptcy source by the Sun-Sentinel many times. If you search for "David Langley bankruptcy" on Amazon.com you will find a video on bankruptcies and foreclosures in which I appear as the bankruptcy expert. Let me know if you would like a free consultation to discuss your legal needs.
Filing fees:
In addition to any fee we may quote you will also be responsible for a filing fee.
Chapter 7 - $306.00
Chapter 13 - $281.00
Chapter 11 - $1,213.00

Masaya is known as the "City of Flowers" as Ruben Dario baptized it. It is Nicaragua's folklore and crafts cradle. Just at 26 kilometers from Managua, Masaya is well known for its beautiful hammocks, ceramics, carved wood works, embroideries dresses and tapestries.
Every thursday night the crafts market carries out a folkloric festival known as "Verbenas de Masaya" that allows you to enjoy some of the best of Nicaraguan Culture.
The local carnival known as San Jeronimo takes place on September the 30th. Monimbo is the main indigenous town in the country; lots of artisans work and live there. Before you reach the city, you will find the Masaya Volcano National Park.
I just returned from Nicaragua and wanted to tell you that both tours that we went on were fabulous! (Masaya volcano tour and "a day at the beach")- the tour guide Jimmy was very knowledgable and fun! And the bus driver Roger was also really good (calm & courteous drive)....We had a great time learning about the culture while enjoying the beautiful country. Please pass this on so Jimmy and Roger get 'kudos' from their manager! Best regards,-- Lisa Rothgeb | Senior Technical Designer - SWAT
I had booked online from the US 4 different one-day tours to different places in Nicaragua with Gray Line Managua and I have been very satisfied. Even though I had booked group tours, I found out I was the only passenger so I benefited of my own driver an tour guide for personalized tours during the whole 4 tours for the same price and was glad my tours were not canceled. Both tour guides were very professional, showing up on (or even before) time and attentive to all my desires, making all the changes to the program I wanted. More..
I was in Nicaragua last week, traveling with Rosemary McClure of the Los Angeles Times. David Rosales was our tour guide. He is a remarkable combination -- professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, insightful, flexible, fluent in English, and fun to be with. You have a winner there. He is an excellent tour guide. We also appreciated Roger, our driver, who was always on time, flexible, courteous and a very good driver. I suspect they are your very best employees. Thank you for assigning us your very best.-- Marty

Indiana-born Roxy DeVille hit the business with a bang in 2005, when she was 23. Born on November 8, 1982, Roxy waited a few extra years to get into porn, and her experience has stood her in good stead. Of Italian descent, Roxy stands 5'6" tall, sporting a lithe 34-24-34 body, with a trim but curvy set of C-cup tits, and her firm body is adorned with a couple of discreet tattoos and a few piercings, including ones on her nipples, navel and clit hood. She has starred in nearly 200 movies so far, and has begun seeing a lot of nominations for her acting skills as well as her other talents. Roxy has been getting more and more leading roles – here's hoping we see her break out soon!

Calvary Kids Club (CKC)
Sunday School Building
When: Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm
Calvary Kid's Club, also known as "CKC" is a Bible-based program designed to help kids come to know Christ on a true and personal level. A child's desire is to belong, and here at CKC, they can do just that. They will belong to a special group and enjoy learning about how they also belong to God. They'll learn about His amazing love and sacrifice and how to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Children will also learn how to memorize scripture but more importantly, they learn how to apply what the Bible says to their lives.
What We Believe
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that Jesus Christ died for our sin and that all who believe in Him are redeemed and justified by His blood. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as being verbally and completely inerrant in the original writings and that they are the supreme and final authority in faith and life, and that teaching them to our children is a command from God that we should not take lightly.
"Therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."
— Deuteronomy 11:18-19
We believe that it is necessary to teach children how to memorize scripture and how to apply it to daily living.
"Your word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against You."
— Psalm 119:11
We believe that children should be taught the importance of reading the Bible and praying daily in order to strengthen their relationship with Jesus. Our ultimate goal is for the children to accept the free gift of salvation. We believe that every child should b able to hear about the Good News (the Gospel), as this is the key to salvation.
Currently Offering
This year is once again offering DKD (Dynamic Kids Discipleship) for students in 5th grade as well as those in 6th grade that are not participating in the Junior High Ministry. Please register as part of CKC and for any 6th-grade students that would like to participate in the DKD, enter them as a 5th grader and we will know they are participating in DKD.
"For God so loved the world the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
— John 3:16
