There are bible studies and there are bible teachings. Do you know the difference.
There are bible studies and there are bible teachings. They are not the same thing. Their formats and purposes are VERY different. Do you know the differences,
Teaching as shown in the scripture by Jesus, Paul, Peter, Stephen is empowered by the Holy Spirit. What those that teach have in common is they are gifted by God with the Holy Spirit to teach on matters concerning the Kingdom of God. Unlike the institutional churches teaching is not done by the shepherd/pastor. Teaching in the Ekklesia is done by those given the spiritual gift to teach. They are not given a title but the ability to actually build up the body by their actions of teaching.
Teaching requires that you study to show yourself approve to God, not man. The study Paul was telling Timothy about was not six years at a seminary to learn what man has to say on religious matters. The study is to be with yourself the scriptures and the Holy Spirit. If you use commentaries, studies and other materials then you are studying man's doctrines and not Gods. The Holy Spirit will use the teacher to build up the body of believers. There should be a daily exchange with members sharing what the Holy Spirit of God has worked in your life, studies, teachings, prayers etc.
There are no examples of Bible study in the scripture, this is something that the institutional church has come up with. The New Testament disciples didn't walk around with their leather covered bibles two days a week as they headed into a building to be told what the word meant. Jesus said he would send the Holy Spirit to teach admonish etc. not the institutional churches of men. This is not to say that we don't study the scriptures but the way it is done today the Holy Spirit doesn't have a chance. Man and their teaching are in charge. A group of like minded believers should share what the Spirit of God shows them in their studies. There should be interactions of encouragements and correction if needed. Pre-determined lesson plans is not what Paul had in mind when writing to Timothy about his studies.
when Jesus gave the sermon on the mount it was a teaching. When he withdrew with his disciples and they asked him questions it became a study.
I AGREE 100%! I can relate to Paul in Galatians 1:12;16 "I neither rec'd if of man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (v16) "Immediately, I conferred NOT w/flesh & blood."
Alone w/GOD I found that ONE SPIRIT!
To study is to self learn. Even the concept of studying under a master means the master guides not teaches. I never had a study group that had a teacher in it. If someone thinks they are studying when another tells them the "truth" it may be learning but not studying.
Teaching is to relate ones own thought process and facts upon another. Hence Jesus "taught" in parables normally causing disciples to study and understand on their own. He also "taught" by example, leaving others to study and take from it what they would.
I wonder did Socrates teach?
Luke 6:40 "A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
The goal is to be like Christ, without adjusting your learning process to His you end up like all that you let contaminate you.
Great stuff Rich,
You added "trained" into the mix which is different than both teach and study - or is it a combo?
Trained, will be as, shall be perfect, taught, perfect disciple, restored, are the renderings of the word in scripture most often translated trained. I thing it is the results of teach and study. What do we want to be when we grow up? Like Christ?
I want to be like Jesus. I don't want to be trained yet though. It is too great being taught and studying. Perhaps we are made faulty, so we have some striving to live for.
I'll let Him tell me I've been trained until then, the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures and fellow disciples are the path I chose to learn on.
Rich: Question is do u have the Spirit of Discernment to tell WHO Holy Spirit talks thru? Does it align w/WORD? Do u reject bcuz of "teachings?" Have u done as Acts 17:11? Do u come before Him w/"clean slate" mind? Have u prayed for guidance?
"Studying" is exchanging ideas and opinions on subject matter in a group setting whereas "Teaching" is relaying Holy Spirit's revelation of "rightly divided" Word to others!
OFF TOPIC: You know, I woke up last night after falling asleep with TV on and there was a commentary on about Azusa Street Revival and Pentecostals! I saw they have the same Spirit that I have and no one believes! We have such POWER within but I don't know what happened that man has allowed "religion" to "twist" the Word of God and have most believing serving God is something personal and should be done "religiously correct!" Do they not know that "religion" is Satan's Greatest Device (Tool) to loose souls?
There are too many Scriptures that say Believers should be "on one accord," too many that says "there is ONE Spirit," too many that say "Baptism should be done according to WORD "After the Day of Pentecost," too many, and yet everyone "ignores" and somehow has gotten the understanding that Paul (vessel) "preached another gospel" (Galatians 3) and did not stand in Christ Stead (Acts 9:15)!
What happened? Did ALL forget to worship "In Spirit and in Truth?" Did ALL forget God changed from "Glory to Glory" throughout Scripture? Why do MOST see GOD as father and son when in actuality, He is Father (Glory) and Son (Glory)? Did they forget "With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE?" Did they forget Acts 9:15 where God said, "He (Paul) will be a vessel to me..?" If vessel (blank, full of GOD), was it not JESUS talking through Paul? Did Scripture not tell us on The Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:42 "The disciples continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine?" Why would one think it was "the apostles' doctrine" when Jesus said He was going to use Paul as a vessel? Did Paul (vessel) not ask us to "Follow me, as I follow Christ?" (I Corinthians 4;16; 11:1)!
Unheard of, huh? Against "everything" you've been "taught!" Notice in my initial response I said "Teaching is relaying Holy Spirit's revelation of God's Word to others" and "religion's" teachers have read "the letter" only and it "makes sense" in the carnal realm! But is this what God wants? Did He not say in John 4:24 "...TRUE WORSHIPERS "shall" worship the Father in spirit AND in truth; FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM?"
We speak to ALL on HP telling them they need to be saved, but consider ourselves, are we living "After the Day of Pentecost" according to His Word?
Why do you think Script says we should be "ON ONE ACCORD?" Bcuz that ONE SPIRIT (Father, Son, Holy Spirit & ALL other GLORIES=GOD=whose name is JESUS (Phil 2:10) "Christ is not divided" (I Cor 1:13)!
Azusa Street Revival was a demonic show of deception not verifiable with the Word, same act is going on today with holy laughter and other deceptions. Pray the Lord may free you of this type of spirit. God doesn't use mystics to explain His Word.
Rich: "Baptism of the Holy Spirit"=demonic?(Acts 2:2-4;13) Behaviors considered to be outrageous and unorthodox? U're ex of "religiously correct." U call HS "mystics?" BLASPHEMY!
Pray the Lord free you from unbelief of what's written in HIS WORD!
Rich: "Not verifiable w/Word?" Read Acts 2:2;13! Behaviors considered to be outrageous and unorthodox? "Religiously correct" r u? U call Holy Spirit "demonic/mystics?" BLASPHEMY! (Mk 3:29)
I pray the Lord free you fm "UNBELIEF" of HIS WORD!

About My Classes
My aim with my classes is to make them accessible for all, whether you are a complete beginner or a more experienced yogi.
Every six weeks, to fit in with the term times and the seasons, I launch a new theme, with a sequence which has been designed according to the body's needs at that time of year.
My classes are based on principles from modern movement medicine, approved by physiotherapists, therefore may differ from more traditional yoga classes. I teach yoga for the modern body and lifestyles, taking you from a state of "active mind and steady body" to "active body, steady mind".
With a foot in both camps – science and spirituality – I take from my Sports Science knowledge, and combine it with what I learned in my time in India, to offer a balanced and realistic approach to yoga.
Just as important as class content and safety based on extensive experience, I also endeavour to make classes fun and friendly, and create an environment which is supportive, non-judgemental, non-competitive, and fun! I especially love to welcome those who don't think yoga is for them, whether you think you are too old, stiff, or it's too slow and dull for you – let me change your mind as well as your body!
When taking up Membership with Flow Yoga, you will also have access to a range of online resources, meaning that you can get inspiration and motivation from me whilst on holiday or in your everyday life. You can also get priority bookings on classes, courses, events and retreats that I run.

Even in a home kitchen, it is possible for you to whip up your own restaurant-grade delicacies!
Cordyceps is chosen as a key ingredient for this energy-boosting recipe, as it is one of the most prized herbs due to its rarity as well as its numerous health benefits. In fact, over the centuries, it has been used to fortify lungs and kidneys, supplement the vital essence, support the immune system and act as a nourishing agent.
This recipe may look plain, but when you consume it, remember to take it slow as you would brewed tea to taste its essence.
l. Wash and slice the abalone thinly.
2. Clean and slice the sea cucumber to 3cm-thick slices.
3. Rinse and place the cordyceps, Chinese dodder seed, abalone, sea cucumber and ginger slices into a crock pot.
4. Add chicken broth and salt, then bring the mixture to a boil under high heat.
5. Turn to low heat and add wine and Chinese wolfberries, and leave to simmer for 40 minutes.
6. Add spring onion not as garnish, but to mix well with the rest of the ingredients to enhance the flavour before dishing out to serve.

BDA's First Ever Whole-School Photo
With the sun beaming down on the BDA grounds yesterday morning, staff and students came together to pose for the academy's first ever whole-school photo.
Over 1000 students marched onto the field to take their positions in front of the Dennis Potter building, with every available member of teaching and support staff joining them for the shot.
It was the perfect day to commemorate the recent success of our school, with hardly a cloud in sight. The picture will serve as a reminder in years to come of what has been, and will continue to be, a wonderful period in the illustrious history of Burlington Danes.
Details of how you can get your own copy of the photo will be announced soon. Have a great break!

Determining which is the best pickup truck for you, your business and your family largely depends on what attributes you value most; engine power, towing capabilities, payload, specification and more. This article examines all the different attributes to help you decided which is the Best Pickup Truck 2019 UK.
Best Pickup Truck Specification 2019 – Mercedes-Benz X-Class
If the amount of kit is what you're after, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class is the best pickup truck for you. The top-level 'Power' trim is fitted with a wide ranger of features, including an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, leather steering wheel and handbrake, a parking camera and more.
Best Pickup Truck for Payload 2019 – Ford Ranger
Ford increased the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the double-cab Ranger in April 2017 from 3,195kg to 3,270kg which means they can now carry 75kg more in the back. The double-cab Ranger XL 4×4 can carry 1,217kg which means it has the best payload by some margin (over 60kg).
See the FULL LIST of Best Pickup Trucks for Payload
Best Pickup Truck for Towing 2019 – Ford Ranger
At 470Nm, the 3.2-litre Ford Ranger has more torque on offer than any other pickup truck with a 3.5 tonne towing capacity. The gross combination weight is rated at 6 tonnes, so it is still able to carry up to around 400kg (on the 2.2-litre XL; up to 200kg on the Wildtrak) in the back while towing the full amount.
Most Powerful Pickup 2019 – Volkswagen Amarok
Stealing the show from Mercedes-Benz is the late entry from Volkswagen. The 3.0-litre V6 has three power ratings stretching up to 254hp/580Nm, which is 3hp and 30Nm more than the X-Class.
See the FULL LIST of Most Powerful Pickup Trucks
Best Pickup Truck for Family 2019 – Nissan Navara
The Nissan Navara is a pleasure to drive thanks to its coil-spring suspension, but there are also many other qualities that make it well-suited to your family. The Navara has an impressive array of safety systems like forward emergency braking, vehicle dynamic control and cruise control across the range. Its pleasing to the eye and the fuel economy is best-in-class, although it narrowly lost out to the Ranger with a four-star NCAP safety rating.
See the FULL LIST of the Best Pickup Trucks for Family
Longest Load Bed 2019 – Nissan Navara/Mercedes-Benz X-Class
Measuring an incredible 1,578mm, the Nissan Navara and Mercedes-Benz X-Class share the longest load beds in the double-cab segment by some margin. The Navara and X-Class share the same chassis and are built at the same factory in Barcelona, and their practicality extends beyond the long load beds; both are capable of carrying more than one tonne and towing 3.5 tonnes.
See the FULL LIST of the Longest Load Beds
Most Reliable Pickup 2019 – Isuzu D-Max
Winning the title as the most reliable pickup is the Isuzu D-Max. Introduced in 2012, the average age and mileage of the Isuzu D-Max was lower than the average pickup included in the survey, which may have contributed to its success. By far the biggest problem was the EGR valves, although these tend to fail quite early (around the three year mark) and are covered under warranty in most cases.
See the FULL RESULTS of the Pickup Reliability Survey
Still unsure which is the best pickup truck for you? Contact us and we're happy to provide free, no obligation and unbiased advice – lucky you!!!

The info dumps continue. Today was. firstly, the Emergency First Response Course. I don't remember ever doing such a course. I just know a few snippets from chatting with other people. The recovery position's changed since I last saw it. It was funny reading the training manual. Whether it is an Austalianism I don't know, but it says "do the best you can because you can't make things any worse" How laid back?
Needless to say we are both now qualifed Emergency First Responders and qualifed O2 administators. Both are required in Oz to work in the dive industry. They are way ahead of what you need in Thailand etc so make us ubber employable. Having completed these courses we are now both qualifed Rescue Divers too.
With the completion of these courses I feel I am gradually reshaping my life. It's very exciting.
The day was finished off with a beer and freshly caught Barra Mundi fish bbq'd at the dive centre. Yum yum.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on linguists and Arrival. This is a guest post submitted by Nathan Sanders and colleagues.
It's the text of an open letter to Neil deGrasse Tyson, who made a comment about linguists on Twitter not long ago. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, As fellow scientists, we linguists appreciate the work you do as a spokesperson for science. However, your recent tweet about the film Arrival perpetuates a common misunderstanding about what linguistics is and what linguists do: In the @ArrivalMovie I'd chose a Cryptographer & Astrobiologist to talk to the aliens, not a Linguist & Theoretical PhysicistNeil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson), 1:40 PM – 26 Feb 2017 Though the term linguist is often used by the public to refer generally to anyone whose occupation is related to language (especially translators and interpreters), the type depicted in Arrival is a special kind of linguist who engages in the scientific study of human language: its structures, its uses, its underlying similarities, and its surprising diversity.
Totally Word Mapper. « previous post | next post » Jack Grieve Twitter-based Word Mapper (see "Geolexicography", 1/27/2016) is now available as a web app — like totally: Or in terms of local frequency: I mean, literally:
Folktale phylogeny. « previous post | next post » Over at Languagehat's place, there's been a lively discussion of Sara Graça da Silva & Jamshid J.
Tehrani, "Comparative phylogenetic analyses uncover the ancient roots of Indo-European folktales", Royal Society Open Science 1/20/2016. The concept of "mother" in linguistics. « previous post | next post » I began drafting this post around Mother's Day, which we recently observed, but got distracted by other things.
This is an old topic that I've been thinking about for years. Namely, I've long been intrigued by the use of mǔ 母 ("mother") in linguistic terms, such as zìmǔ 字母 ("letter", lit., "character mother") (e.g., sānshíliù zìmǔ 三十六字母 ["36 initial consonants"]), shēngmǔ 声母 ("initial", lit., "sound mother") and yùnmǔ 韵母 ("final", lit., "rime mother").
The first two go back to the Song period (960-1279), but I don't know how old the latter two are. See here, here, and here for references. The use of matres lectionis goes all the way back to Ugaritic, Moabite, South Arabian, and Phoenician writing, the Hebrew term being אֵם קְרִיאָה ("mother of reading"), with comparable terms in Aramaic, Syriac, and Arabic. The concept of "mother" in linguistics. Vanessa Ruiz. « previous post | next post » Fernanda Santos and Christine Hauser, "Arizona News Anchor Is Drawn Into Debate on Her Accent and the Use of Spanish", NYT 9/3/2015: An Arizona news anchor defended her pronunciation of Spanish words during English broadcasts, saying she delivers them the way the language is intended to be spoken. […] Ms.
Ruiz, who was raised in a bilingual household, said some viewers had questioned her way of pronouncing Spanish words. Participles, conveying urgency? « previous post | next post » The first two and last two panels of today's Doonesbury: The idea that short phrases convey urgency is a well-established principle of writing advice, e.g. here and here.
But it's not obvious to me that either in headlines or in broadcast news, the use of present participles rather than tensed verbs is generally the more urgent-seeming choice: The town reels, its dreams of a better tomorrow up in smoke! The town reeling, its dreams of a better tomorrow up in smoke! Pro: maybe noun-phrase fragments are more urgent than full clauses? Also, there are famous examples where a sense of urgency is associated with long run-on sentences, for example Molly Bloom's soliloquy from the last chapter of Ulysses: Anyhow, I wonder what the distribution of phrase lengths and participial phrases in recent news broadcasts is — a good topic for someone's term paper!
For future reference, against eventual link rot, the whole Doonesbury strip is here. Typical options like "heâ€� and "sheâ€� « previous post | next post » Collin Binkley, "He?
You use the present tense, you persuade people to save money. « previous post | next post » We've had some discussion lately about the sports subjunctive/baseball conditional/bare paratactic conditional.
I'm going to stay out of any naming controversies, but I do want to pick up on the fact that this construction typically involves using a present tense verb form to describe a future event. Like this: We've also been discussing Keith Chen's controversial proposal that the grammatical marking of future tense leads to unwise spending and eating habits—allegedly, these behaviors are curtailed when the same form is used for both present and future time, since people are encouraged to perceive a stronger continuity between their present and future interests.
(Commentary on the subject has been offered by Geoff Pullum, Mark Liberman and myself.) It only seems right, then, to point out to proponents of Chen's hypothesis that perhaps they should consider that the construction in question offers some excellent potential for persuasive applications. The QWERTY effect. « previous post | next post » Rebecca Rosen, "The QWERTY Effect: The Keyboards Are Changing Our Language!
", The Atlantic: It's long been thought that how a word sounds — it's very phonemes — can be related in some ways to what that word means. But language is no longer solely oral. Much of our word production happens not in our throats and mouths but on our keyboards. A non-mathematical theory of communication. « previous post | next post » According to Claude Shannon, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", Bell System Technical Journal 1948: The fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately a message selected at another point.
Frequently the messages have meaning; that is they refer to or are correlated according to some system with certain physical or conceptual entities. These semantic aspects of communication are irrelevant to the engineering problem. The significant aspect is that the actual message is one selected from a set of possible messages.
Rather than abstracting away from the fact that communicated messages may have meaning, this recent xkcd strip explores the idea that the "message selected at another point" may have little or no impact on the message that is received: QWERTY: Failure to replicate. « previous post | next post » Following up on "The QWERTY effect", 3/8/2012, I got this email earlier today from Peter Dodds: I just saw your piece on these curious QWERTY findings re positivity. I see you used the ANEW data set, and this has prompted me to point to our much larger data set (just over 10,000 words) that we have for positivity/happiness (I've been meaning to write for a while).
I've attached the scores and the relevant paper is here: Dodds et al., "Temporal Patterns of Happiness and Information in a Global Social Network: Hedonometrics and Twitter", PLoS ONE 2011. Sweden's gender-neutral 3rd-person singular pronoun. « previous post | next post » Slate has an article lambasting Sweden's growing enthusiasm for total gender neutrality, and it raises the profile of a move, actually originating in the mid 1960s, to get hen established as a new pronoun meaning "he/she/it", eliminating the forced choice between han "he" and hon "she".
I don't know which I would say is likely to be more difficult: eliminating gender stereotypes and inequalities from society or getting a neologism established by fiat in the set of pronouns in a language. And I don't know Sweden (never been there) and I don't know Swedish (never studied it). Apart from that, I don't have anything interesting to say on this potentially very interesting linguistic topic in the news. The obvious thing to do, for anyone who was not a hidebound opponent of the vox populi and all-round blue meanie, would be to open the comments column on the subject so we could hear from some Swedish-competent or Swedish-resident readers, wouldn't it?
Big Data in the humanities and social sciences. « previous post | next post » I'm in Berkeley for the DataEDGE Conference, where I'm due to participate in a "living room chat" advertised as follows: Size Matters: Big Data, New Vistas in the Humanities and Social SciencesMark Liberman, Geoffrey Nunberg, Matthew SalganikVast archives of digital text, speech, and video, along with new analysis technology and inexpensive computation, are the modern equivalent of the 17th-century invention of the telescope and microscope. We can now observe social and linguistic patterns in space, time, and cultural context, on a scale many orders of magnitude greater than in the recent past, and in much greater detail than before.
This transforms not just the study of speech, language, and communication but fields ranging from sociology and empirical economics to education, history, and medicine — with major implications for both scholarship and technology development. The place and time of Proto-Indo-European: Another round. « previous post | next post » A note yesterday from Russell Gray: Hi Mark, we have a paper out in Science today. I've attached a copy plus a link to a website where we give a more accessible account of the paper. I expect this will be rather controversial again but we have been very thorough both with improving the quality of the data and with testing the robustness of our geographic inferences. The link is That link goes to an excellent and freely-available site, which contains essentially all of the information in the Science paper, presented in a more accessible way with additional background. The Science paper is Bouckaert, R., Lemey, P., Dunn, M., Greenhill, S. Universal alphabet.
« previous post | next post » Not that I think this is any sort of panacea, but our good friends at BBC have seen fit to ask: "Could a new phonetic alphabet promote world peace? " Although backers of this supposed universal alphabet claim that "it will make pronunciation easy and foster international understanding", I have doubts that SaypU (Spell As You Pronounce Universal project) constitutes a viable route to world peace.
It is curious that SaypU, which uses 24 letters, dispenses with precisely those three letters that give persons who are unfamiliar with Pinyin (official PRC Romanization for Mandarin) the most trouble: "c", "q", and "x".

Seed & Herb Kits
Starting a garden doesn't have to involve weeks of planning, soil preparation, planting and maintaining. If you're a beginner, or if you're uncertain how much time you have for a garden, seed starter kits might be the answer. You can grow an herb garden in your kitchen, a lovely bunch of nasturtium in a pail on your back patio, or four-leaf clovers (if you're lucky) in a terracotta pot on your office desk. All-in-one seed kits like the ones offered here make it easy to have a green thumb. A seed starter kit could be the first step on your path to gardening greatness.

CROCHET (2019-2020) is a project that brings social innovation in the center of ambition to transform governance models and increase citizens' participation for the benefit of fair and sustainable local development. Based on the multi-layered exchange between actors from two most developed cities in Croatia and Switzerland (Zagreb and Zürich), it creates a set of ideas to use social innovation for the purpose of creating better quality of public services and more social cohesion. Focusing on three different areas vital for urban life (municipal utilities, community centres and housing) it creates space for learning and exchange in order to develop hybrid forms of institutions and organisations that often include cooperation of civic actors with public authorities (through public civic partnerships). Ultimately, based on a bottom-up approach and strong relevant grassroot experiences of local groups, and with focus on sustainable development goals, the structured exchange of experiences through this project leads to enhanced capacities of Croatian partners to employ social innovation within local institutional framework into improvement of governance models, higher social cohesion and innovation based initiatives that improve life conditions in local communities.
Institute for Political Ecology (IPE) has been set up as institutionalisation of long history of cooperation between scholars and activists originating from different organisations active in in areas of climate change, sustainability, urban development, common good and public services. It was set up as a research and educational organisation that designs alternative development models and innovative institutional frameworks for democratic political and economic transformation of society. The Institute addresses contemporary ecological changes as social phenomena that reduce or magnify social inequalities and influence power relations. IPE carries out transdisciplinary research and educational programs in cooperation with domestic and international institutions and organisations.
Pravo na grad / Right to the City is active on alternative models of management of public infrastructure and bringing together different organizations, initiatives and unions on issues of housing.
Zelena akcija / Friends of the Earth Croatia aims to raise capacities of CSOs to advocate for open and transparent governance of public and natural goods in Croatia
Savez udruga Operacija grad / Alliance Operation City is working on the creation of an advocacy platform formed by numerous organisations from different sectors in order to collectively achieve the desired outcome: the creation of a participatory governed socio-cultural centre.
The role of NetHood
NetHood is the leading organization on the Swiss side.
For example, on the topic of cooperative housing, the idea of organizing around and building housing cooperatives has only recently begun to emerge as the implication of the housing crisis in Zagreb and Croatia. Due to increasing prices in real estate and construction sector, as well as the proliferation of very short term renting due to the development of urban and coastal tourism, it becomes harder to provide for the much needed affordable housing. Therefore, many local communities, but also local townships, find that developing models of non-profit housing such as housing cooperatives can help to alleviate some of the pressure.
Due to these conditions, citizens have recently started to organize around new organisational forms based on cooperation and solidarity thus aiming to find alternative ways to cope with current constraints and organize their business model similar to the ones already developed with success in Switzerland.
NetHood will try to translate the Swiss experience in creating, organizing and building urban housing cooperatives (in Zurich alone 25% of housing is cooperative housing) into tangible legal and organizational knowledge needed to improve development of the housing cooperative model in Zagreb and Croatia, too.

My teacher said to click a link "on the left," but there aren't any links over there. Where are they? Accordion Closed
There are two ways to hide/unhide the left course navigation pane when inside a course on Bb Learn.
- If there is no course navigation pane at all (meaning there is nothing to the left of the course home section) the course navigation pane has most likely been hidden. To make this viewable again click on the arrow pointing toward the course home page on the left side to show the navigation pane.
- If there is a grayish bar located to the left of the course home page in the top corner, then the course navigation pane has been collapsed. To expand that pane to its original size, click on the set of double downward facing arrows in the left most part of the gray bar.
For more information and detailed help see Personalizing the Bb Learn Home Page article.

Chopper scam: HC notice to Tyagi on CBI plea against his bail
The court issued a notice to Tyagi and asked him to file a reply by January 3.india Updated: Dec 30, 2016 20:04 IST
Delhi High Court on Friday sought the response of former Indian Air Force chief S P Tyagi on CBI's plea challenging his bail in the AgustaWestland chopper scam case contending that he could "hamper" its probe and "alert" other accused if he remained out of custody.
While Justice Vipin Sanghi issued notice to Tyagi and listed the matter for hearing on January 3, separately, Metropolitan Magistrate Sumeet Anand extended the judicial custody of other two accused, Sanjeev Tyagi alias Julie and lawyer Gautam Khaitan, till January 13.
The high court agreed to give an early hearing to CBI's plea challenging the bail granted to the former Chief of Air Staff (COAS) after the agency said the bail pleas of the other two accused were likely to be heard by the trial court on January 4.
71-year old Tyagi, who was arrested on December 9 along with the Sanjeev and Khaitan in the case relating to procurement of 12 VVIP choppers from UK-based AgustaWestland during the UPA-2 regime, was granted bail on December 26.
During arguments in the high court on CBI's plea against Tyagi's bail, the agency said each day he remained out, would lead to its line of investigation getting "exposed" and "hampered" and evidence could also be destroyed.
It contended that if Tyagi remained out on bail, he could "alert other potential accused".
The agency also said that its probe was "multi-layered" as it was spread across several countries since various companies were allegedly used to "camouflage the bribe money".
CBI admitted before the high court that though FIR was registered in 2013, the "real core investigation started only a few months back" and therefore, it did not want Tyagi to be out on bail till the charge sheet is filed.
A special court had earlier granted bail to Tyagi, saying CBI has failed to state the alleged bribe amount and when it was paid.
While granting the relief, the trial court also took note of Tyagi's advancing age and his health conditions and said no purpose would be served by keeping him behind bars.
The court issued a notice to Tyagi and asked him to file a reply by January 3.
Tyagi -- the first chief of any wing of the armed forces to be arrested in the country -- and two others were allegedly involved in irregularities in the procurement of 12 AW-101 VVIP helicopters from the Britain-based AgustaWestland.
Tyagi was granted bail by a trial court on December 26. He was the Air Force chief from 2004 to 2007.
The former IAF chief has denied the charges of kickbacks.
The bail order for the other two accused -- Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev Tyagi and Gautam Khaitan, a Delhi-based lawyer -- will be delivered on January 4 by the trial court.

Organic farming is growing in Iowa almost as fast as the bane of chemical-free farmers — weeds.
While pigweed and lambsquarter can double in size in a few sunny days, the number of organic producers and processors in Iowa has increased 31 percent in the past five years.
"We are not even close to meeting market demand, and we don't have to spend much time marketing," said Andrew Dunham, who with his wife Melissa operates Grinnell Heritage Farm, one of the state's largest producers of organic vegetables and fruit.
When Francis Thicke of rural Fairfield converted to organic in 1975, he said he did so "out of principle," in the belief that it was the right and responsible thing to do. "We didn't even have a market. Now our products sell themselves," said Thicke, who with his wife Susan operates the 730-acre Radiance Dairy Farm.
Iowa ranks sixth among the 50 states in the number of organic producers and processors with 939 this year, up from 717 in 2012, said Kate Mendenhall, executive director of the Iowa Organic Association. (Scroll to the bottom of this story for a map of certified organic farms in Iowa from the Iowa Organic Association.)�
Much of the growth, she said, has been in organic grain, fueled by rapid increases in the production of organic dairy, eggs and poultry. And Amish farmers, finding a profitable niche in labor-intensive organic production, have been leading the way.
Organic food growing in popularity
The price premium for organic food, while varying from one commodity to another, typically ranges from two to three times higher than prices for their conventionally produced counterparts, Mendenhall said.
Substantially lower chemical residues make organic food more healthful than food raised with commercial fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides, she said.
Consumer recognition of health benefits — for them, their families and the environment — drives the growth of organic products, she said.
Organic sales in the United States totaled $47 billion in 2016, which accounts for more than 5 percent of U.S. food sales, according to the Organic Trade Association. With sales up 8.4 percent from the previous year, it is the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. food industry, the trade group said.
But it's more than health benefits contributing to organic products popularity. Consumers also believe that organic agriculture, which eschews chemical fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide and is generally conducted on a smaller, more personal scale, is friendlier to the environment, Thicke said.
Though Thicke makes no claims about the flavor of the milk, cheese and yogurt produced by his 80 Jersey cows, he acknowledges that some of his customers do.
The Dunhams, with the equivalent of 10 full-time employees during the growing season, raise 60 different kinds of organic vegetables and fruit on their 25 acres of raised beds.
Andrew Dunham said they truck more than half their produce to grocery stores. New Pioneer, with stores in Iowa City, Coralville and Cedar Rapids, is their biggest customer.
They also provide weekly boxes of produce to more than 300 families under the Community Supported Agriculture program, and farmers markets — the smallest outlet for their products — accounts for about 12 percent of sales, he said.
Keeping pests and weeds at bay
Dunham said the tilth and fertility of their soil have improved dramatically in the 11 years since they converted to organic practices. Composted manure from their grass-fed cattle, extensive cover crop plantings — a crop planted to manage soil erosion, fertility and quality as well as weeds and pests — and multiyear crop rotations get much of the credit, he said.
Weed control — their biggest challenge — is accomplished primarily with mulch, tillage and the long crop rotations, he said.
Dunham said extensive mulching controls blight in their 1,500 tomato plants. Noting that blight spreads through soil contact, Dunham said the only part of the plant that ever touches soil is the roots.
Perry Helmuth, the first Amish farmer in the Hazleton community to convert to organic agriculture, said he noticed increased demand for organic grain in the early 1990s.
"At that time I wasn't spraying (chemicals) for weeds anyway. I figured 'I'm close. I'd just as well try it,' so I switched over and got my certification in 1995," he said.
Most other Amish farmers have since followed, according to Helmuth, who estimates that 95 percent of the farmers in the Hazleton Amish community have converted to organic.
"It was a life saver for us out here," he said. "We couldn't compete with the big conventional farmers anymore. Land prices were too high. Returns were too low. Many young Amish men were working off the farm to make ends meet."
Amish farmers, typically with small land holdings and large families, found a niche in organic farming, which relies more on labor and management than on capital. Higher prices for organic crops enabled many of them to return to their agricultural roots, Helmuth said.
"They still want to come back home and farm. The farm is the best place to raise a family," he said.
His own experience with the popular herbicide atrazine influenced his conversion. "I got sick every time I used it," he said.
Helmuth said it took him two years to get a handle on the organic farmer's two biggest challenges — maintaining soil fertility and controlling weeds.
Livestock manure, coupled with incorporation of clover and alfalfa cover crops, keeps his soil fertile, he said, while multiple passes with horse-drawn tillage equipment curbs weeds.
'Getting more out of your land'
Whereas conventional Iowa farmers typically start planting corn in mid-April, organic farmers wait another month so they can mechanically kill the first flush of spring weeds before planting, he said. Once their crops have emerged, organic farmers strive to cultivate them at least three times.
Unlike conventional farmers, most of whom annually alternate corn and soybeans in their fields, Helmuth employs a four-year rotation that includes corn, soybeans, oats and a combination of hay and pasture.
"A good crop rotation helps keep your soil in balance and your weeds in check," he said.
Helmuth said his corn yields dipped during his first two years of organic farming but quickly rebounded. "If we don't get 150 bushels per acre we are disappointed," he said.
"We think organic food is healthier, and more and more people are thinking that way," said Freeman Detweiler, an Amish organic farmer in the Hazleton community.
Detweiler said organic farming requires "a lot of labor, a lot of manure and good timing, but you will get more out of your land."
"The market is there, but the big missing piece is the land," said Suzan Erem, president and co-founder of the Sustainable Iowa Land Trust, launched in 2015 to permanently protect land to grow healthy food.
Around the cities that constitute the largest market for organic food, "no one is reserving land for food production," she said.
Under development pressure, land around cities can sell for as much as $30,000 per acre — well beyond the reach of start-up organic farmers, Erem said.
Through donations and easements, the trust is acquiring land that can be made available at lower costs to beginning farmers, she said.
Federal assistance is available to certified organic producers and to those transitioning to organic production through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program's Organic Initiative.
Since its introduction in the 2008 farm bill, the program has paid out more than $8 million to Iowa organic farmers, said Jason Johnson, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, which administers the program.
Johnson said organic producers receive a higher payment rate than their conventional counterparts for implementing conservation practices such as cover crops, crop rotations and nutrient and pest management.
The USDA's Organic Certification Cost Share Program also reimburses eligible organic producers and handlers up to 75 percent of certification costs each year, to a $750 maximum.
Other than helping to administer the federal assistance, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship provides no incentives for the adoption of organic practices, department spokesman Dustin Vande Hoff said.
The Iowa Organic Association's Mendenhall said Iowa should do more to encourage the transition from conventional to organic production.
Given that organic practices reduce nutrient loss to surface water by 50 percent, she said doing so would make sense in a state with severe nutrient pollution problems.

Small Grants for Community Partnering
Since 1997, Larimer County Department of Natural Resources has offered Small Grants for Community Partnering, giving back a portion of the Help Preserve Open Spaces 1/4-cent sales tax funds directly to communities throughout Larimer County through this grant program. Since 2008, Larimer County has awarded $308,503 for 200 community and neighborhood projects that connect people to the land. The Help Preserve Open Spaces sales tax initiative was initially approved by Larimer County citizens in 1995 and extended by the citizens in 1999 and again in 2014.
Individual grant awards are available up to $3,000 per project, limited to one application per applicant.
Apply for a Small Grant
All applications must be received through the online form by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 13, 2019. No mailed applications will be accepted.
Review the application instructions first, which will guide you through the rest of the application requirements. The online application form cannot be saved while filling it out. Therefore, it is highly recommended that all components of the application be ready-to-go before starting it.
- Application Instructions
- Budget Worksheet
- Budget Worksheet Example
Please contact Jennifer Almstead at email@example.com or (970) 619-4569 with any questions.
Who can apply?
Anyone can apply, with just a few exceptions and parameters:
- Government agencies already receiving Help Preserve Open Spaces tax dollars may not apply directly. This includes but is not limited to City of Fort Collins, City of Loveland, Town of Estes Park, Town of Berthoud, Town of Wellington and Town of Timnath.
- For projects on public lands and for government agencies — excluding educational institutions — the applicant must be a 501c3 non-profit or other non-governmental entity with an active, leadership role in the project.
- Together with the grant application, all affected landowners must agree in writing with the project. Homeowners' and Property Owners' Associations must submit a copy of board meeting minutes approving the project. Educational institutions must provide a letter from the appropriate facilities director agreeing to the specific project.
The Larimer County Small Grants Program is an initiative of the Larimer County Open Lands Program to disburse Help Preserve Open Spaces Sales Tax dollars throughout the County for projects related to conservation and enhancement of, and recreation and/or education on, open space on public and private lands. Initiated in 1997 with a trial project (Ptarmigan Run), the program funded six projects the following year.
In 2001, the program was formalized in the Open Lands Master Plan, adopted by the Larimer County Open Lands Advisory Board and the Board of County Commissioners and subsequently incorporated into the Larimer County Land Use Code. In 2006, the small grants subcommittee of the Open Lands Advisory Board formalized grant selection criteria, procedures, and a project score card to help the subcommittee objectively select projects for funding.
In 2009, the Open Lands Program focus was to connect people and communities to the lands that had been successfully conserved and protected: People who are connected to the land care about what happens to it. The Open Lands Advisory Board approved expansion of the Small Grants Program into new areas which promote land connections: "agriculture," "increased access to open spaces and natural areas," and "research on Larimer County open spaces." These were in addition to the original grant category, "protection or enhancement of open space, trails, natural areas, wildlife habitat, river areas, and wetlands on private or public land." The Small Grants Program was renamed to Small Grants for Community Partnering. Funding was increased from $10,000 to $20,000 annually to be awarded for grants up to $2,000 each.
In 2012, the intent of the program was reaffirmed: to provide citizens with direct access to open spaces sales tax dollars; to allow citizens to leverage dollars with seed money for project implementation; to encourage citizen partnerships; to reach communities with which the program has not historically interacted; and to increase visibility, support, and appreciation for the Open Lands Program.
We fund:
- Project expenditures such as costs associated with project implementation, materials, supplies, etc. Delivery or shipment of project materials is permitted but cannot exceed more than 5% of the total grant request.
- Tools and equipment (e.g. GPS units, weed sprayers, etc.) may be funded to 501c3 non-profit organizations only, with acceptable justification of why they are required for implementation of the project.
We do not fund:
- Salaries and/or project planning expenses, except for category "E" projects
- Transportation expenses; except for categories "D (2)" and "E" projects
September: Initial review of applications.
October – December: If warranted, pre-visit with the applicant, Open Lands Program staff and citizen advisory board committee members. (This is the opportunity for the applicant to discuss why his or her project is a great candidate for funding. Project partners are welcome to attend the site visit as well.) Review site visit evaluations and request any follow-up information and formulate recommendations.
January – March: Present funding recommendations to Open Lands Advisory Board. The board ultimately makes the final selection of grant awards. Notify awardees; prepare contracts. Finalize contracts and declarations. Host awards presentation at an Open Lands Advisory Board meeting, typically the last Thursday of the month.
- If selected to receive a small grant, a Contract and Declaration between Larimer County and the grant recipient is required prior to receiving the award. The contract will include the amount of the grant award, specific items funded, the timeline for project completion, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other conditions. See full requirements
- Awards will be presented at an Open Lands Advisory Board meeting during the first quarter of the year, typically the 4th Thursday of a month. The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners present the awards.
- If a funded project changes from the initial application and budget, a written change request is required before any dollars are spent. The applicant may be asked to resubmit for another grant year if the project changed enough to affect how it would have been rated when in competition with that year's other applications.
- Award recipients must keep track of all project expenditures (including in-kind services and donations) and submit receipts for all items purchased with small grant funds.
- Following project completion, Larimer County staff and/or Open Lands Advisory Board members may conduct a site visit. Further visits may be necessary in subsequent years depending on the level of monitoring required for a particular project.
- Award recipients must complete the project and submit a final report within 12 months from the grant award date. Any unused funds past this date will need to be returned back to Larimer County. Failure to submit the final report will result in disqualification for future awards.

Cost-Effective Cleaning with Vapor Degreasing
In this reprint from Finishing Today magazine, the author explores the problems inherent in aqueous cleaning processes: large footprints, require large capital investments, consume electricity at a prodigious rate, are maintenance intensive, and require expensive waste water treatment systems. Vapor degreasing resolves all of these problems but introduces certain new issues that must be considered when upgrading cleaning systems. With modern equipment and solvents, vapor degreasing is a safe, cost-effective and environmentally acceptable cleaning method.Download

Suppose that in your garden, you had built 5 huge bonfires; all the waste that you'd stored up for a year. And you were ready to set fire to one a day for the next five days. Then suppose a busybody from the Council came along and told you that you couldn't; because all that smoke and soot going into the atmosphere would be hazardous. And after you'd thought about it, you agreed with him.
Then, suppose he told you it would be OK if you made 6 piles instead and took 6 days over it. Because, by doing so, you would cut the pollution down by 20%. It's bollocks, isn't it? You'd still be burning the same overall amount, wouldn't you?
But that's the reasoning behind reducing carbon emissions to prevent 'Global Warming'. They say that, if we reduce usage of carbon-rich fuel (basically coal and oil), we'll prevent the planet from overheating and stop sea-level rises that will flood many areas that are currently inhabitable.
Now then, there are some who dispute: (a) that world temperatures are rising at all and (b) that, if they are, whether it's attributable to increased levels of greenhouse gases and (c) that the amount of polar ice that could be affected would be sufficient to significantly raise sea-levels even if it did melt.
But the point is, even if the Global Warming theorists are correct; how will reducing emissions back to 1980s levels (which is all that's being proposed) help matters in the long run? Britain, for instance, is trying to get emissions down by 20% (by 2010). Right. So it will now take us 120 years to emit the same amount we would otherwise have done in 100. Hardly allows enough time for the poor old Earth to get its breath back, does it?
Humans have only been using carbon fuels intensively since the Industrial Revolution of 1850. And in that short space of time, have already used approximately (some say) half of the earth's oil reserves. Even if more deposits are found and become viable, how much longer can they be burned - at the increasing rate with which countries' outputs are expanding? 100 years? 200? 500? I doubt it. So one way or another, all the carbon presently locked up under the earth is going to be released into the atmosphere - where it once was, anyway.
And then, 'Global Warming' will have happened and nobody will be in much of a position to care one way or the other unless they're all cycling around with windmills on their heads.
So what's the fuss about? Why are politicians telling us we've all got to be taxed to stop us taking an Easyjet to Prague or else we're all going to drown under the tide?
Same reason we invaded Iraq? Because the bloody stuff's running out? Surely not.

There are two types of flamenco. One, if you're lucky enough to catch it, is the real thing and happens in hot little back-street bars where a man sings unintelligibly but spine-chillingly and, if you're luckier still, people will be so moved as to get up and dance spontaneously. It's great. It's thrilling. But if non-aficionados are honest – not as enjoyable for us Gringos as the tourist type. The best of the tourist type, that is. And the very best of it is at El Cardenal, in Cordoba. It starts at 10.30 p.m. So there's time for a couple of drinks first, as you wander down through the tight warren of the Juderia's cobbled streets to the venue - the courtyard of the Bishop's Palace, across the street from, for me, the most sensuous building in Europe; the Mesquita.
They show you your table, then lights dim. A youth walks onstage with a guitar and plays some classical stuff. Then a singer, then another guitarist, then another singer. I'd already started wondering whether this was really my scene. But then the dancers came on with high heels and tight and swirly Spanish frocks. Wow. Four of them did their individual spots – as soloists or in pairs - to a bewilderingly complex rhythm of hand-claps and the strumming of the guitars and the voices of the singers. Electric. Every gesture, every pose, each heel-click…. All the eye movements, the facial expressions… arms and hands twisting perfectly right down to the fingertips…. Dazzling. One word sums up the appeal of Spain for me and it was here in bucketfuls – Passion. It's in the landscape, and the language as well as the people.
The principal dancers closed the show. First up was the girl. I used to think that it must be every man's dream to marry a contortionist. Now, in my next incarnation, I want to spend all my nights with a Flamenco dancer. She was a beauty in a crimson dress that somehow revealed everything yet maddeningly contrived to show nothing. She moved around the stage fixing every man in the audience with her eyes and, at the same time, challenging every woman with them. It was a no-contest. The male half of the audience had suddenly discovered what sex really truly meant and the women knew they were defeated and would be in for an undisturbed night's sleep unless they could somewhere find a shop that stayed open late selling castanets and red underwear. At the end of her dance, she stood at our end of he stage and transfixed me with a stare. Me. Nobody else. Just me. She lifted the frills of her skirt to her ankles and began her finale. Her back arched, her arms writhed, he torso shook, her feet moved faster and faster, her head never moved. With a last haughty look and a stamp, she strode offstage without a backwards glance. As a torrent of clapping broke out she might well have been backstage using Mae West's line, "Honey, that wasn't applause. That was fly buttons hitting the ceiling." Fortunately, lest Mme. sneaked a glance down there, I'd already discreetly covered my crotch with the programme.
Now it was the guy dancer's turn. He had long curly hair – a mite too greasy, I'd say – with Che Guevera's eyes, Jerry Lee's scowl and Elvis's sneer. He stood in a Matador pose for a while; tensing his legs so that muscles trembled through his tight black pants and loose black shirt. Well, I suppose you could say that he was OK in a magnificent beast sort of a way if you like that sort of thing. Mme. certainly thought so, I can't recall seeing her so thrilled with anticipation since the day we ordered the first automatic dishwasher. He could dance, though, I'll give him that. He leaped, he kicked, he stamped to the rhythm, his feet becoming blurs of high-heeled black and silver. He barely looked at the audience, knowing that he had them exactly where he wanted them, safe in the knowledge that there was hardly a dry seat in the female half of the house. As far as the men were concerned, a contemptuous curl of the lip told that, if we had any complaints, he'd be happy to dispose of them later. Outside. With flick-knives. It wouldn't last long and I felt confrontation was probably unwise unless I was happy going home with my cojones in a freezer bag.
Go some time. You'll love it.
