Latest from Nathan W. Bingham
from Nathan W. Bingham Dec 20, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIn 1948, the famous Harvard social historian Pitirim Sorokin wrote an essay in which he sounded an alarm about the rapid disintegration of the stability of the American culture. In this essay, Sorokin pointed out that in 1910 the divorce rate in America was ten percent. Yet from 1910 to 1948, the rate of divorce in America escalated from ten to twenty-five percent. Sorokin indicated that if a quarter of the homes in any given nation are broken by divorce, the stability of the nation cannot endure. Its culture is torn to shreds. Arguing that the family unit is the most basic and foundational unit of every society, he said that when that unit breaks, the society itself suffers a shattered continuity. Keep Reading

Rest for Restless Hearts
from Nathan W. Bingham Dec 13, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineStroll into a bookstore these days and you will likely find a large area labeled "Self-Help," "Motivation," or "Personal Transformation." Go ahead, browse the volumes found here. Some are curiously interesting, and some will just make you laugh. Several books will seek to convince you that your main problem in life is that you aren't tapped into the secret power that dwells inside of you. Something — a child, a serpent, a Buddha, and, yes, even a dolphin — simply needs to be "awakened," and then you will become happy, healthy, and wise. Keep Reading

Holy People Are Happy People
from Nathan W. Bingham Dec 08, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineSo much could be said of the consequences of sin and impurity for the Christian. And we should speak of them — the Bible certainly does. David, in Psalm 32, described the misery of unrepentant sin as his bones wasting away (v. 3). His energy was dried up as he felt God's displeasure. But the warnings of misery for the backsliding believer should also be coupled with the joys of holiness. There is real joy when we turn from evil and delight in the Lord and His ways. Keep Reading

Suffrage and Insanity @ Pygmalion (Oct 28 - Nov 12, SLC)
""The natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it for many of the occupations of civil life... [T]he paramount destiny and mission of woman are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator." Bradwell v. Illinois, 83 U.S. (16 Wall.) 130 (1873)
To support women's suffrage and efforts to gain employment, Myra Bradwell helped write the Illinois Married Women's Property Act of 1861 and with Alta M. Hulett the Earnings Act of 1869, both of which allowed married women to control their earnings and property. In August 1869, a federal judge (from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals) and state's attorney examined Bradwell's legal ability, pronounced her qualified and suggested that the Illinois State Supreme Court Issue her a license. However, her application was denied on the grounds that as a married woman, she could not enter into any legal contracts, as lawyers do in their profession. On February 5, 1870, the Illinois high court again denied her claim on the basis of sex. Chief Justice Charles B. Lawrence stated that "God designed the sexes to occupy different spheres of action."

Mary and Myra by Catherine Filloux
October 28 - November 12
In the summer of 1875,
Mary Todd Lincoln
(the President's widow)
resides in an insane asylum, sent there by her only living son.
Her progressive friend
Myra Bradwell
(America's first woman lawyer)
arrives to help Mary gain her release by exposing the injustices of her trial.
But Myra's motives and Mary's sanity are both up for debate,
as they grapple with their pasts and their perceptions of
freedom and womanhood.
Featuring Tamara Howell and Teresa Sanderson.

Interview of Millicent Villacastin by Freya Bennett
Hi Millicent, how are you?
At the moment, I feel so thrilled to be part of Tigress, and I just can't stop thinking about it!
How old are you?
I am 13 years old.
Where do you call home?
I call Cali my home, and I'm actually a valley girl!
Tell us a little bit about yourself?
Well, whenever I'm not sleeping or studying, I'm usually drawing or writing poetry. I also enjoy meditating, and I love going on Instagram because that's where I can interact with different people. It's also where I love to speak my mind about the worth of women, and encouragement for all genders to do as they please.
What are you passionate about?
I am most passionate about drawing, writing, sleeping, and speaking my mind. I'm not afraid to embrace the power I am capable of.
What is your favourite subject at school?
I find math and science are my favorite subjects at school. I really can't decide between these two.
What do you wish they taught at school?
I wish they taught us more about what our genders can do to stop sexism, and how we can improve to treat each other equally.
Have you travelled much? If so where?
Yes I have! Mostly tropical places such as the Philippines, Singapore, Hawaii, and Florida.
If you could go anywhere in the world today, where would it be?
If I were to go anywhere in the world today, it would have to be Japan. Or, a place with a nice field of lonesome flowers.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
The ability to stretch my body, like Elastic Girl from "The Incredibles," is definitely an ability I would want to have!
Where do you go to relax?
I usually stay in my room and look out my window and watch the sky change colors.
What do you love about being a girl?
What's there to not love? I love how I'm capable of much more than what others think. I love how women are slowly building their way to a better place in life, and that us girls are helping each other out to make that happen. I love how I can easily get along with other girls, since we can somehow just relate to each other. Unfortunately, some girls use that ability against each other which causes a negative relationship. However, as a girl that strongly believes in girl power, I believe it is important to encourage others, rather than to shame them. I also believe I am capable to do anything just as well as a boy can.
What do you find hard about being a girl?
Although being a girl has its positive sides, there are some difficulties. Such as being underestimated by boys and society. Sayings like, "You do that like a girl," or "That's so girly" are ones I often hear. I find it hard to speak my mind too. Although I mentioned I am not afraid to speak my mind, there are times when I get shut out, or ignored. People have judged me for being "too feminine" or "different." But then again, failure is connected to success, and I know that being judged or looked down upon is just a start of what's to come.
If you could change the way society depicts girls and women, what would you change?
I would change the way they underestimate us, like the way they use women in an insulting, yet indirect way. Like how they see, and describe us as a joke. They say stuff that is supposed to be funny, but they just end up insulting women.
What is your favourite colour?
Pastel pink!
What is your favourite book?
I really love the book "The Honest Truth" by Dan Gemeinhart.
What is your favourite movie?
My favorite movie is "Insidious 2." Yes, I'm a fan of horror movies!
What are five things that fascinate you?
Cats, technology, music, new movements like "#burnyourbra" etc., and travelling.
Any final words of advice?
Girls, women and boys; know your worth. Know that you are much more than what anyone has to say to insult you. You are capable of anything, and can do anything! Your mind is like a field, and your job is to grow the flowers. Let your ideas blossom, and don't be afraid to say what you believe in. No matter what your gender, race, or sexuality, you are astonishing in your own way, and the world deserves to witness that. "Focus on the change, not the problem."

Forced Appreciation: The Nasty Truth The Gurus Never Told You
It's The Exact Opposite of How You Build Lasting Wealth
All appreciation is NOT the same. And it's not all equal, despite the way everyone from the experts to the financial news guys throw around the term. The truth is, when it comes to real estate, there are two types of appreciation:
Forced and Automatic.
The Fallacy Of A National Real Estate Market

My apologies in advance to CNN. I'm not trying to make them look foolish. It's just that the facts are the facts, and you need to know them. (If you like when the Big Guys look foolish, you MUST see the latest Real Estate Market Report)
Apologies completed,
Was the Last Real Estate Crash Truly Unique or Just a Blip On the Radar?
If you have lost significant money as an investor or personally, I know it never feels small. I'm sorry that happened to you.
There is something much bigger going on beneath the surface. Painting the recent real estate downturn as the "event of the century," screaming that this has never ever happened before and that we will never ever recover from it makes for good headlines,

Facebook Marketing For Businesses in Wharton
Promotion with social media through Facebook presents a huge chance for local companies in Wharton to connect with all the local community, drive brand awareness, promote products, offer services, run social networking competitions, engage existing clients, handle Facebook reviews, and much more. The figures featured below emphasize some applicable Facebook facts that could ultimately enable you to navigate the platform better, and provide you insight to the value of Facebook for advertising. According to SEC filing, for the very first time, Facebook's U.S. ad revenue will be bigger than the largest traditional media businesses trailing only behind Google.
Facebook Marketing Stats – Referenced From E Marketer
• Globally, there are over 1.86 billion monthly active Facebook users (Facebook MAUs) which is a 17 percent increase year over year.
• There are 1.15 billion mobile daily active users (Mobile DAU) for December 2016, an increase of 23 percent year-over-year.
• 1.23 billion people log onto Facebook daily active users (Facebook DAU) for September 2016, which signifies a 18% increase year over year
• There are 1.74 billion mobile active users (Mobile Facebook MAU) for December 2016 which is an increase of 21% year-over-year
• On average, the Like and Share Buttons are seen across almost 10 million websites daily.
• In Europe, over 307 million people are on Facebook.
• Age 25 to 34, at 29.7% of users, is the most common age demographic.
• Five new profiles are created every second.
• Facebook users are 76% female (out of 100% of all females) and 66% male (out of 100% of all men).
• Highest traffic happens midweek between 1 to 3 pm.
• On Thursdays and Fridays, involvement is 18% higher.
• There are 83 million fake profiles.
• Photograph uploads complete 300 million per day.
• Average time spent per Facebook visit is 20 minutes.
• Every 60 seconds on Facebook: 510,000 comments are posted, 293,000 statuses are upgraded, and 136,000 pictures are uploaded.
• 4.75 billion bits of content shared daily as of May 2013.
• 50% of 18-24 year olds go on Facebook when they wake up.
• One in five page views in the United States happens on Facebook – many of those happening right here in Wharton Texas.
• 42% of marketers report that Facebook is crucial or significant to their company.
• 16 Million local business pages have been created as of May 2013.
It's quite difficult to dismiss these data, Facebook is a important variable in internet marketing and companies that are not taking advantage of it'll continue to slip supporting the competition. Identifying target demographics has been made into an easy procedure through profile acknowledgement. If your target group is 25 year old males in Wharton, TX you can define this criteria within the Facebook advertisement contractor. In addition there's this a feature within Facebook that lots of individuals are unaware of, it's called the Facebook Tracking Pixel.

A view to virtual learning in Noosa classrooms
A NOOSA immersive workshop intends to demonstrate local teachers don't need huge budgets to enhance students' learning through virtual reality and augmented reality experiences.
The latest in the series of popular Weaving Technology into the Fabric of the Classroom presentation will focus on 360-degree video and budget VR options.
That's according to a CQUniversity academic Associate Professor Michael Cowling, who will lead a team of specialist academics and expert teachers on Tuesday, May 7. Support academics include Jim Picton, Dr Steven Boyd, Dr Robert Vanderburg and Darryl Clare OAM.
"Mixed reality technologies, including virtual reality and augmented reality, can enable teachers to create a new blended reality that gives students a seamless digital experience," Dr Cowling said.
"Our hands-on workshop will focus on demonstrations of how to ensure effective learning, or pedagogy before technology, rather than the other way around."
Originally funded by a grant from Google a few years ago, the Weaving Technology into the Fabric of the Classroom' series has already reached over 150 teachers at six locations across Queensland.
Dr Cowling says it's important to prevent students feeling stuck on the outside of mixed reality simulations.
"The issue with most mixed reality simulations is that the user is separated from the spectators, wearing the mixed reality hardware and waving their arms about whilst everyone else in the room looks on with confused looks on their faces," Dr Cowling says.
Despite his technology background and love of computers, Dr Cowling says that his experience adding technology to the classroom in the last few years has shown him that technology is not the be all and end all when it comes to learning.
"My students love using technology, but even in my classes I've realised that technology for technology's sake is a waste of time," Dr Cowling said.
"The technology we introduce must serve a purpose and that purpose must be to enhance learning through improving pedagogy."
Workshop registrations are open until May 1 via http://weaving.tech.

Nashville, Tenn. (WKRN) – SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has been rather transparent throughout this COVID-19 pandemic and on Saturday he voiced his concern for the football season as "high to very high."
In an interview on Marty & McGee on ESPN Radio, Sankey was asked about the decisions the SEC must make about the upcoming season, that after the Big Ten and Pac-12 have decided to move to conference-only schedules.
"The direct reality is not good and the notion that we've politicized medical guidance of distancing, and breathing masks, and hand sanitization, ventilation of being outside, being careful where you are in buildings. There's some very clear advice about — you can't mitigate and eliminate every risk, but how do you minimize the risk? … We are running out of time to correct and get things right, and as a society we owe it to each other to be as healthy as we can be," said Sankey.
Sankey followed up on Twitter after ESPN's Peter Burns retweeted his statement:
When it comes to SEC's deadline to make a decision, that remains late July. Sankey recalled a conversation he had with a biostatistician, who told him he should take all the time he needs before making a decision because every day will provide more information.
Sankey added, "That literally is playing out in front of us every day. That's why I don't feel any pressure because of somebody else's decisions. We're trying to make the right decisions for us, for the Southeastern Conference. It does have an impact because I've said publicly we're all linked nationally, so when other people make decisions, yup, there's an impact, but also we're going to look at our situation and make a decision that's appropriate for the Southeastern Conference and most importantly for the health of our student-athletes."
The Big 12 and ACC have also announced they will wait until later in July before making any decisions about the fall season or possible scheduling arrangements.
"What I've tried to do is both keep a focus on what's ahead but provide reality, which has been I'm going to focus on preparing to play the season as scheduled but acknowledge the circumstances around coronavirus are going to guide us in that decision-making," Sankey said. "And the reality right now is the trends in our region, in our nation, are not in the positive direction for being able to have normal experiences."
It's a season of change for the NFL, college, and high school football. News 2 digs deeper into the impact that COVID-19 is having on the game. See our special reports all day Thursday in every newscast. Click here for more.

The 51-Percent Coalition is calling on Prime Minister-designate, Andrew Holness, and the People's National Party to honour their commitment to appoint more women to the Senate.
The 51-percent Coalition says both the JLP and PNP embraced the National Policy for Gender Equality.
Coalition member and media specialist, Dr. Marcia Forbes, says they expect to see both the in-coming government and Opposition put words into action by appointing at least eight women to the 21 member Senate.

The Coalition says it's been calling for temporary special measures to ensure that no less than 40-percent or no more than 60-percent of either sex be represented in the leadership of the country.
Mrs. Forbes says the Coalition is hopeful that Mr. Holness will honour commitments made to gender equality.

Days after a series of police complaints were filed against Raveena Tandon, Farah Khan and comedian Bharti Singh of The Kapil Sharma Show, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has found himself in a spot of bother for hurting the Marathi sentiments. Raveena, Farah and Bharti were booked for hurting religious sentiments through a TV show.
However, a prominent group has written to police in Maharashtra to book Akshay for allegedly Maratha warriors. According to news agency PTI, a Maratha organisation has submitted a letter to the district and police authorities in Maharashtra's Nanded, seeking a case against Akshayfor allegedly hurting the community's sentiments by featuring in an advertisement for a famous detergent brand.
In the Nirma ad, Akshay is seen playing the role of a Maratha warrior, who returns from a battle. His on-screen wife doesn't appear too excited as she pokes fun at him and his soldiers for their dirty clothes. This prompts Akshay to break into crazy dance while washing his dirty clothes using Nirma detergent powder.
In the latest development, the Sambhaji Brigade on submitted the letter to Nanded District Collector and Vazirabad Police, urging them to register a case against the actor.
"We received a letter from the Sambhaji Brigade on Thursday, in which they demanded that a case be filed against Akshay Kumar for hurting the community's sentiments. We have forwarded the letter to the superintendent's office," in-charge of Vazirabad Police Station SS Shivale was quoted as saying.
A Worli resident in Mumbai had filed a police complaint against Akshay for hurting the sentiments of Marathi people.
Worli was in the news last year after it emerged that Isha Ambani, daughter of Mukesh and Nita Ambani and sister-in-law of Shloka Mehta will be moving into her new sprawling sea-facing bungalow Gulita. Isha had married Anand Piramal las year and Gulita, whose cost is estimated to be Rs 450 crore, was gifted to the duo by Anand's parents as a wedding gift.

Anthony Seldon claims Public Schools have much to teach state schools about character building. Do they really?
Allan Beavis
Posted: 05 Sep, 2011
Anthony Seldon, Master of Wellington College, argues in
The Guardian
that what is still wrong in state schools is its inability or reluctance to instil in children the practice of "oiling", a mixture of ambition, self-confidence and bloody-mindedness. Apparently, this will equip the state school oik for university and beyond to better compete with the public school toff in a level playing field of grabbing the best, most influential jobs and the lifestyles that come with them. He asks us to consider that The West London Free School culture of aping the manners and norms of Eton will thus truly improve the life chances of even the most deprived child and will be the true legacy of what new schools such as Toby Young's will bequeath to the plebs, if not the nation.
Seldon says it's all about "character building", which is formed in top public schools less from "breeding" than by methods such as competitive sports, leadership training, tough mental and physical challenges, cadet training, hikes and boarding schools. Seldon says that this ambition will "nauseate" many on the left who will regard such ambitions as the perpetuation of a self-regarding and uncaring oligarchy.
It will be interesting to see how this experiment will close the divide between those wealthy or titled enough to assume a sense of entitlement from birth and those born into households struggling to pay bills where parents, if they work at all, do not run private estates, the media, the banks, corporations or government. Social advancement has more to do with the class you are born into than with genuine meritocratic reward. Public schools exist to segregate the children of the wealthy and powerful to be educated and engineered together, instilling in them not confidence and character, but with a contacts books of friends and useful people in what they would consider the higher echelons of society to fast track them to the top careers they have been entitled to from birth.
If the alumni of Eton, Wellington, Winchester, Harrow and other top public schools already look down and sneer at those entering university and careers from "minor public schools", then I don't see how the working class boy or girl from the council estate graduating from West London Free School armed with a fistful if A* grades at GCSE and A Levels and maximum wattage self-confidence and steely determination is going to automatically gain membership of the Bullingdon Club when they roll up at Oxford. Seldon's snobbish notion of good breeding seems to be rooted in the behaviour of the Establishment ring-fencing their interests to protect the status quo in which they alone will flourish. Others might see good breeding as having manners, consideration for other people and the ability to mix and accept people from all backgrounds.
It's about class, inherited wealth and new wealth. Once an oik always an oik, no matter what fantastic academic qualifications and reserves of ruthless ambition the state school educated child has acquired. If the vision of schools such as West London Free School is to equip its pupils with the tools of character building and competing with toffs in the academic, career and social arenas, then they also need to include in their sparse curriculum a warning that doors will more likely open far more readily for a chap educated beyond his intelligence but with the correct background in the sort of jobs and salons populated by public schoolboys.
Seldon informs us that David Cameron's Bullingdon Club toff-mate Boris Johnson is to open the West London Free School next week. It is unclear whether the invitation was politically motivated or whether Boris will go in his capacity as London Mayor or Eton/Oxford/Bullingdon stereotype. I wonder if Lord Sugar from Stamford Hill and Clapton, self made millionaire of humble East End origins had been considered to open the school? He might have more in common with the ordinary children from ordinary backgrounds, be more of an inspiration and given them more of a realistic example of how to succeed in the world without resorting to believing that the only route to self confidence and life success is to compete with and emulate those born with a silver spoon in their mouths or millions in a trust fund. I don't think Bumbling Boris needed to hone his self confidence and build his character at Eton. Rather, Eton provided him with the secure knowledge that his network of chums and chinless wonders would steer him towards the right revolving doors.
Seldon says that the greatest failure of state schools is that, although the best can match private schools in academic performance, they still fail to instil in their students the "edge" that public schools toffs have but this is to presume that the vision or ideology of state schools is driven by the same principles or expectations of private schools. They aren't. Or at least they weren't, before school reform was implemented with bewildering speed and ruthless execution by the present government.
If the government endorses what Seldon here advances as the vision for state schools (and one presumes they do, since Toby Young was the first applicant to get a Funding Agreement), then it cannot be true that genuine social mobility is underpinning its schools reform policy. Those not born into the ruling class want to believe that social mobility via education is a real possibility but until the privileged and ruling classes become less class obsessed and less of a closed shop, then there is virtually no hope that class divisions will be eradicated. Only then can state school "oiling" compete with private school "oiling" to ensure a fair and meritocratic outcome.
It may well be that Seldon and Young are offering up the examples of schools like Eton to encourage young people to motivate themselves to aspire to something better than where they came from, but this is nothing new. Generations upon generations of working class people have "bettered" themselves via a state education system without being reminded that however much their school and education emulates Eton, it is never going to actually be Eton.
Seldon's criticism of state schools not providing the "edge" misses the point that not everyone in state schools desires or is equipped for a public school style regime. Many of these kids are happy to leave school and join an alternative "Establishment" where their creativity or abilities can be appreciated by people not obsessed with class privilege or values and achievements only the "toffs" find admirable as they seek to maintain the status quo. One could argue that the "edgier" personalities and opinions in culture, politics, business have come from ordinary state schools, their creativity and ambition shaped by an altogether less restrictive notion of what the rules are, as written by the unimaginative privileged class.
State schools should exist to give every child a chance to get an education matched to their ability and expectations. Latin and social "oiling" may be jolly useful for some oiks but I suspect it will continue to be of no interest or benefit to the majority. Self confidence comes from a sense of self worth, defined by being happy with yourself and not by endless comparisons with people intent on proving that they are somewhat better than us by virtue of their expensive education.
If "oiling" is, as Seldon says, learning to win friends and influence others, then Toby Young has evidently learnt the lessons that eluded him in his first incarnation when he lost friends and alienated people to a hilarious and lovable degree. Seldon says the hapless Young arrived at Oxford bowled over by the likes of Boris Johnson and David Cameron. Fortunately, plenty of young people have the self confidence and self awareness not to have to yearn for acceptance by the toffs and their attitude should be applauded and rewarded.
Kneejerk reactions to Young should indeed be avoided, but it is worrying that the taxpayer funded West London Free School will be run by someone "starstruck" by an Eton he never went to and who doesn't appear to value a diversity of opinion or political differences. Someone who believes that it is acceptable to point and laugh at the lone voice in the "dunce's corner". Is that what public schools encourage? What kind of message does that send to parents and children? And is it one that Michael Gove tacitly endorses?

Didn't Anthony Seldon write a sycophantic autobiography of Anthony Blair because he was public school educated, although Blair gave us a lousy legacy of unneccessary wars (trying to impose imperialist democracy in Muslim countries), mass immigration, much higher council taxes, handing over more powers to the EU, welfare dependency, not building any new power stations and squandering an excellent economic inheritance that he was bequeathed in 1997. Let's not forget that Blair and his greedy, materialistic wife also creamed off a posh Grant Maintained school for their sons miles from their home passing up 50 nearer comprehensives and then abolished GM status when he came to power.
But in regard to Selsdon's other points about the superiority qualities that public schools breed, this doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Plenty of state educated people make the top in music, business, politics and sport. Sport is an area where products of private schools do excel apart from football but so do former state educated pupils. In fact given the matchless facilities of private schools and the number of scholarships they give out to gifted sportsmen and women to boost their credentials they should have a dominance of alumni in well heeled sports but it's highly debatable that they do.
In cricket our best all rounders of late were Flintoff and Botham, state educated. Our best spinner is Grame Swann with other England players like Bell, Bopara, Tremlett, Anderson and Bresnan all coming through the comprehensive sector. The most petulant behaviour by England cricketers in recent times has been from the public school educated Matt Prior and Stuart Broad.
At rugby there are as many state educated England players as private in the World Cup squad and our only World Cup winning captain was Martin Johnson ex comprehensive school. The current England Captain is Lewis Moody of Oakham public school who attended De Montfort University, presumably not good enough results to get into Leicester.
Our best post war tennis player is Andy Murray of Dunblane Comprehensive. Plenty of athletes and Olympians attended comprehensive schools like David "Dai" Greene, Rebecca Addlington and Paula Radcliffe to name a few.
Maybe there are more public school educated polo players than state ones, perhaps someone can confirm that?.

Anyone writing a column for the Guardian about education - even an occasional one - should feel that they have a duty to apply proper academic rigour to their case. This might apply particularly when the writer is challenging what traditional Guardian readers might believe.
I have rarely read such a lazy piece of writing masquerading as argument as Anthony Seldon produced on Saturday ("Toby Young has a point"). What is his point? That 'independent' schools by their very nature produce something called 'character' - confidence and roundedness - that is an integral part of their students' lives. Few state schools can be led by headteachers prone to such vacuous and idle thinking - thinking that would have looked naive if put forward by Thomas Arnold 150 years ago.
Is what Seldon wants more of, the kind of behaviour that has led us into the worst recession in eighty years, with no present prospect of recovery (Cameron, Eton College/Osborne, St Paul's)? That produced the illegal war in Iraq and the murderous debacle that is Afghanistan (Blair, Fettes)? That send our unconfident and unrounded youngsters, victims of increasingly intractable social inequity, into lifelong unemployment or the closure of the bodybag? That leaves comprehensively educated kids paying for the negligent and often criminal behaviour of the bankers (King, Wolverhampton Grammar; Goodwin, Paisley Grammar). Clearly there is much to be said for both independent and selective education. Young wants ambition, self-confidence and bloody-mindedness "to go viral throughout his school". Just the qualities of the greedy, self-obsessed and homicidal feral elite?
How is it that the wise are so full of doubt, and fools so sure of everything they say?

I was rather alarmed by the concept of "oiling" as I had not heard the word before in this context. Apparently, according to the article, it's being able to "win friends and influence others" and then "clamber over them to get what you want". Wasn't that what rioters were doing a little while back? My classical education (thanks to the OU) introduced me to Aristophanes. In "The Clouds", the character named Right describes with idealised lyricism the best education:
"I'll tell you about the way boys were brought up in the old days... First of all, children were supposed to be seen and not heard. Then, all the boys of the district were expected to walk together through the streets to their music-master's, quietly and decorously, and without a coat, even when it was snowing confetti - and they did. And when they got there he made them learn some of the old songs by heart...and on no account pressing their thighs together... What's more, [sternly] they never put on oil below the belt..."
I think "oiling" may have had a different meaning in Fifth-Century Athens.

Everyone overstates the value of "oiling" (what a suitably oleaginous and unpleasant term to use). Both the Seldons of this world and Allan Beavis in caricaturing the value of independent schools as being principally in the form of a ready-made network.
The proportion of Etonians and Oxbridge graduates that go on to "great things" is tiny. Not as tiny as from other schools and universities, but, still so small as to make the idea of there being effortless entry into privileged networks misleading. The vast majority of those who have had elite educations have no real network and advancement given to them in their record of achievement. They, like everyone else, have to make them for themselves.
Perhaps the ethos of their educations helps them to see what needs to be done and the belief that they can do it. That is, I think, Toby Young's point. It does not mean that there are not other ways of achieving, but there should be room for the state sector to offer the ability to beat the privileged Etonians at their own game rather than merely to say "we're not playing that game but going to complain when we lose it".
Is it really necessary to descend to ad hominem attacks on Toby Young to argue the positive case for a different vision of improving state education?

botzarelli -
Very noble of you to jump to Toby Young's defence but Anthony Seldon, in bringing Young and his Eton of the State School (Young's description of WLFS) into the centre of his article, has done him no favours!
Fame junkies don't really care whether they are being criticised or praised, only that they are being noticed and discussed. Young has plenty of outlets and opportunities to fan the flames and keep his profile up and his interests in the news. A media celebrity turned school leader capable of labelling people who don't agree with his ideology or politics as "dunces" in his latest blog, is capable of launching unprovoked attacks, ad hominem (Latin!!) or otherwise.
Had he taken a leaf out of Peter Hyman's book and gone about quietly setting up a Free School with no pretensions to ape Eton, with a more credible argument for helping disadvantaged children and less of a tendency to attack existing schools and self publicise his political affiliations then no doubt he would have been left alone. But he doesn't want to go about unnoticed.
I agree that not everyone from a top public school will automatically go to the top with the help of connections but their background and educational establishment means their life chances are undoubtedly way much higher and they stand a much higher chance of getting into careers traditionally occupied by public schoolboys.
Seldon has effectively re-introduced the mores of Eton into the consciousness of WLFS so I hope that his comments won't now encourage the students there to become as starstruck by Eton as he claims Young to be.
There really is no need for state school educated children to go through life feeling inferior and in thrall to a posh education they never had. It is worrying that Seldon is predatorially promoting the interests of private school in the new state schools and we should wonder what the motives are because, quite frankly, kids don't need public schools to teach them about "character" or how to gain confidence or trample over one another to get to the top.
Fetishisizing Eton or other top public schools might have an unhealthy effect on impressionable students. Much healthier and productive for them to gain confidence and skills by nurturing and encouraging them to find self belief from within, not by having a chip on their shoulder. Why try and beat Eton at a game for which they have set the rules? And why try and apply these rules to state schools?

Character, especially in the term character building, means good personal qualities, especially the qualities of being determined when doing something difficult and showing consideration to other people. There are many ways in which these can be fostered – it's not just about competitive sports, which Seldon says are "vital", or the combined cadet force (CCF), useful as these are for those who enjoy them. Teamwork, resilience, determination, perseverance and tolerance can be fostered in schools by other activities such as: singing in a choir, taking part in a theatrical production, playing in a band , Young Enterprise, Duke of Edinburgh Award, making a newspaper in a day, organising a charity fund-raising event, entertaining local pensioners, activity days, work experience… State schools already offer most of these activities as well as sporting competitions (teams and individuals) for those who want to take part. It's true you won't find many with CCF but state school pupils who want this type of activity can join the Army Cadet Force, Air Training Corps and similar organisations. And many state schools have links with organisations like the Army in Education.
It's not necessary to ape the trappings of a public school – the blazer from the same outlet that supplies Eton and Harrow, a Latin motto, or calling terms Michaelmas, Lent and Trinity. Activities which foster personal qualities are already happening in state schools but without fuss and fanfare. Perhaps it's time that Mr Gove and his supporters recognised this.

Monday December 9
There are just three days until voters go to the polls to make a crucial decision. The people will pick between the Marxist Corbyn, with insane policies based on bitterness and envy, or Boris Johnson, who will deliver Brexit, unlocking hundreds of billions in investment.
The PM has made it clear he will impose strict limitations on unskilled migrants. The Tory immigration policy will separate migrants into three categories: Exceptional talent, skilled workers and lower skilled workers.
Low-skilled workers will be prevented from entering the UK unless there is a specific shortage in their sector, such as construction. The post-Brexit scheme will fast-track the brightest and best, none of whom will require a job offer before they enter the country.
📺 | "I want to bear down on migration, particularly on unskilled workers who have no job to come to," pledges Boris.
"580m people are able to treat the UK as if it's part of their own country…and that's not democratically accountable." 👍 pic.twitter.com/Mss2w6o5EJ

Not only will the immigration policy ensure better prospects for our economy, it will also help keep Britain safe. Anyone convicted of a serious crime will be banned from entering the country. This is a common-sense immigration policy, Boris Johnson will finally deliver an Australian-style points immigration system (Which Nigel Farage has been arguing for for years).
The Conservative commitment to security is a major feature of their campaign. Priti Patel has warned Labour's plan to remove stop-and-search could lead to a murder spree. Citing analysis by the Conservative research department, the Home Secretary said the increase in weapons could mean up to 4,000 extra violent assaults and 52 more murders. Labour are willing to put British people's safety at risk in the name of political correctness.
Patel went further: "Corbyn and Diane Abbott side with the criminal minority. They oppose longer prison sentences for serious violent and sexual offenders…their approach isn't just naïve, it's downright dangerous."
Today, Boris will start a tour which sees him visit every region in Britain. The PM will enter what used to be the Labour heartlands and warn voters the Islington-powered Labour Party plan to throw their votes to leave in 2016 in the bin.
Johnson said: "The Labour Party has let you down. Under Jeremy Corbyn, they promised to honour the result of the referendum – before voting against Brexit every chance they had. They won their seats on a false prospectus and then stuck two fingers up to the public."
Convincing words from the Prime Minister. Labour has abandoned its heartlands, hopefully they will pay the price on Thursday.
The Conservatives have a 14-point lead, but this is no time for complacency. We strongly urge you to get out and vote Conservative to prevent Corbyn from de-railing both Brexit and the country. Don't split the Leave vote.
The choice in this election isn't any clearer than in the fight for the Home Office. A genuine conservative with a no-nonsense approach to counter-terror or Dozy Diane, limp on criminal justice who has called for the abolition of MI5!
It's a no-brainer.#VoteConservative #GE2019

Recently, I have felt something changing within me, but I wasn't sure what it was. I noticed that my cardigans seemed to be too big or not sitting well on the shoulders. They were like an oversized coat that no longer fitted my frame and I started to question whether it was my posture, or my weight. Both remained the same, but something else had changed. Yesterday the understanding came fully as I was booking in for my monthly Esoteric Breast Massage – a super supportive modality offered by women practitioners trained by Universal Medicine.

Women are Magnificent
In my work as a midwife I have the awesome privilege to be with women when they can resource deeply their true magnificence.
Being pregnant and giving birth is a time in a woman's life when she has a relationship with her body that is very real and full. A time when she can get to know herself and her true strength and qualities, as her body does some of the most amazing and miraculous things ever. Continue reading "Women are Magnificent"
The Power of a Smile: In Celebration of the Woman I am
It was a Friday evening. My children and I were walking down a busy city street to get something for dinner. I'd just come straight from work, so wasn't especially 'made up' to go out; just relaxed and feeling a little tired from a busy week.
As I walked along I noticed a lady pushing a pram coming towards me.
Her head was hung low and she looked very despondent. I kept my gaze on her and began to smile; very soon she raised her head and we locked eyes. I broadened my smile and felt I was beaming from every pore in me. I did not do what I sometimes can do and make it a fleeting smile – I continued to hold the lady in my gaze and felt I was almost having a conversation with her – it felt amazing. Her face responded immediately and lit up in a glorious smile too – her whole face and body seemed to transform.
This moment seemed to last an eternity as we continued to walk towards each other, locked in each other's gaze.

A Woman's True Beauty: The Strength in Fragility
Women – Are we living in a man's world? We all know about boys having to be tough – "Boys don't cry", boys get given toys to confirm their future roles – trucks, footballs, fiction-hero's, games of war….
We women may feel that we have to compete in this competitive male world, and many of us have tried to create an even playing field in our pursuit of equality for women – with the fight for the right to work, equal pay in the workforce, day-care for young children, female cricket and footy teams, promotions, baby bonuses and more. At the same time we have found ourselves often comparing with each other with regard to academic achievement, ideals of beauty, having more money or a successful career, being in relationships versus being single, and having kids.
Have we lost the precious qualities of true beauty and fragility in this battle for equality and respect?

My Lips, Red Lipstick and Me
I suppose that almost every woman has to criticize something about herself: her legs, her bum, her breasts, her hair, her nose – sad but true.
For a long time for me it was my lips.
I really did not like my lips. They were small and slim, had no true colour and they felt hard. I felt there was no point in giving them any attention, other than some light, almost colourless lip-gloss sometimes.
One day a friend of mine, while we were sharing with other friends what kind and colours of lipsticks we use, said to me: "I think that a warm deep red would suit you very well!"
"Whaat?" I said. There's no way I would wear a darker colour and especially not red! My lips are small and in no way beautiful enough for the colour red!
Over the next two days she 'haunted' me with the red lipstick. Every time I saw her she said smilingly, 'red lipstick!' and I'd start to run….
Let's Face it: Accepting and Embracing our own True Beauty
For many years, practising as a Professional Make-up Artist and more recently advising and offering Inner Image Consultations, I've noticed that as women we're still apologising for the way we look. Why do we resist accepting and embracing our own true beauty?
The most beautiful make-up of a woman is the love that she is.
Until we truly claim the woman within, we will continue to mask and hide our Divine Beauty underneath layers of protection that no amount of make-up can penetrate.

Learning to Love Myself and Trusting I am Enough
I am a beautiful woman!
Wow – that's a bold statement to make about myself but make it I will. Let me explain.
When I say I am beautiful I don't mean in the way society dictates. I don't have a perfect figure, whatever that is, and I'm not a model.
I'm beautiful in the way I love myself.

Beauty Tip for Women: Ladies, Pull up a Chair!
All my life I have been the typical 'no fuss' woman who 'put my face on in 5 minutes'! Then all this changed, I felt that standing up to do my morning beauty routine just wasn't cutting it anymore, so I decided to pull up a chair, a simple act that led to a miracle!
Unusual beauty tip you might say, but for me it has made a huge difference in how I feel about myself throughout the day.

The Effects of Image in Media – Not so Sexy for Young Women
Image is huge in our society, with a constant bombardment of what you should look like from all sides in media and social media. Thankfully, as a society we are starting to become more aware of how the images we see everyday affect us and especially influence our younger generation.
Recent studies show that the impact of early exposure of sexuality to a girl's development is indeed very harmful. A report by the American Psychological Association task force (APA, 2007), found that girls who are exposed to sexual messages from popular culture are more likely to have depression, low self esteem and to suffer from eating disorders. Unfortunately, we are only currently seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the devastating effects of over sexualizing our young girls, especially with the advent of social media.

The Bible is LOADED with references to the triune nature of God. Here are a few verses that illustrate God's point.
In the beginning, Genesis, God introduces us to His three-part nature, speaking of Himself, of making humanity in "our" image, and introducing the working of His Spirit, and God says that all this happens within the context of Him being one God.
When God called Moses to lead Israel out of slavery and away from Egypt, Moses wanted to be sure of what to call God. Here's part of their conversation, in Exodus 3:13-14:
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Don't be intimidated whenever you read "I AM", or "I AM THAT I AM", or "LORD", or "GOD" in all capital letters in the Bible. The translations of those capitalized words literally mean, the Self-Existant One or the Eternal One, that is, the very person of God, as He experiences and describes Himself.
In Isaiah 44, God speaks of Himself AND of His Redeemer. In the same passage, and in the same grammatical person, God includes and unifies the idea that He is a complex being, but that there is only one God, even as we are complex, having multiple roles that we manifest in our lives, yet we remain the very same person no matter which role we are fulfilling at any given moment.
God describes the revelation of His Arm that accomplished His salvation for humanity.
God describes that some of the other work of His Arm is to instruct, correct, punish, and lead.
God even speaks of His Arm as a commander speaks of one of his soldiers.
At one point, God even calls Himself, "The LORD liveth".
Those are some foundational Old Testament verses, but the New Testament is also filled with references to godhood of God's Christ, Jesus. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke contain references to bits and pieces of the three-part nature of God and Christ, but it is the Book of John that most clearly unifies and illuminates the doctrine. Chapter One is brilliant in its establishment of that fact.
Christ Jesus goes on, later in the John, to heal, instruct, rebuke, encourage, receive praise and glory, and all of it as God, without any apology or fear.
In John 10:30, Christ says that He and God are one, and Christ speaks of the power that is subject to His will, with regard to laying down His life to pay for our sin and then taking His life back from death, at His own discretion AFTER He was killed.
Later on, in John 16:7-15, Jesus clearly equates the Personhood of the Holy Spirit with Himself and God the Father, that the unified doctrine might be clear.
Though God is without end, yet He speaks of Himself as being, AND being with, the One who is "the First and the Last": Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, 48:12, and Revelation 1:11-18.
Learning to submit to God, on His terms, is the only way that how we can hope to learn, grow, and survive, spiritually. Jesus was VERY clear about that throughout His teachings, especially in the Book of John. It is not about making sacrifices in our lives or trying to pray or buy our way out of a tough spot, for those things can never cleanse us of our sin. As God says, in Ephesians 2, to those who have trusted Him for the only eternal salvation available to humanity,
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
I encourage you to read John and Romans for a 'nutshell' view of what God calling out to you, personally. Those fascinating books of the Bible are a treasure trove of information to feed and protect our souls.
Also check out these links:
Look to our Creator, my friend! Look to our Creator. He alone can make your life what it is supposed to be.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

In a two-week Spotlight Wall Show from March 14-27, the Yaquina Art Association will be featuring the photography of Walter Duvall and the artwork of Ken Hartwell. The Yaquina Art Association Gallery is located in Nye Beach at 789 NW Beach Drive. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Duvall, a local landscape photographer, began his photographic journey 54 years ago in high school when he was inspired by landscapes created by black and white photographer, Ansel Adams. In the 1970s, while in the military service, Duvall took correspondence courses through the New York Institute of Photography and has continued to seek photographic knowledge through workshops, seminars and online courses.
Duvall's passion is capturing the beauty of light and nature, both in color and B&W. He is also intrigued about recording the "decisive moment" with people, made popular by street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.
In 2002, he discovered digital photography, and in 2014 when he began a transitional retirement from his 34 years as a Certified Financial Planner and investment advisor, he began devoting more time to his lifelong passion of photography working with such professionals as Art Wolfe, Mark Adamus, David Middleton and Brenda Berry. He has been published, both in magazines and brochures, won numerous awards, and has donated his time and talent to the Alaska Raptor Center, Sitka Conservation Society, Oregon Coast Community Forrest Association and Newport Fishermen's Wives, helping them to promote their non-profit goals. Currently, Mr. Duvall is a member of Yaquina Arts Association, Yaquina Arts Association Photographers (YAAP), Oregon Central Coast Photography Group, and Oregon Professional Photographers Association.
Hartwell has served as President of Yaquina Art Association for several years. His hard work keeps the Yaquina Art Gallery running and his outreach has brought art education to the local community.
Hartwell's show is a mix of traditional and unusual printed fish.
Spending more than 40 years teaching art in elementary schools has made him love color.
"It's fun putting color in my art where most would not expect," Hartwell said.
Those interested in becoming a member of the Yaquina Art Association can visit the gallery in Nye Beach to fill out a membership form. Annual membership dues are $40, and only 30 staffing hours a year are required to take part in an active gallery with a wonderful group of artists.
