Expect the Unexpected
By sudden and while I was in the office doing some documentary work, I heard "Expect the Unexpected".
The Lord wants us to Expect good things from him and always be ready to act upon his unctions and words. Things are going to happen this year BY SUDDEN and shall bring with it a greater push toward destiny alignments. Be prepared in season and out of season.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20
A Burst Forth
In a vision, a woman of God looked at me and said " you are going to erupt" I turned my face to the other side and inquired the Lord, I said, "Lord, is this word for me or the body of Christ?" By sudden, I saw a silver electric distribution box with one word with capital letters written on it's silver door, the word was "ALL". I knew that this word is for individuals who shall come together in UNITY and be the church.
A burst forth is coming over the church, the body of Christ, that will cause it to be in display for the whole world to see what the Lord Jesus destined for his bride to be.
When a volcano eruption's happens, it brings forth all what is within to the surface (promises and callings). All of the work of the holy spirit within the church is going to burst forth and be shown so very clear to all to behold. The Light, the salt, the fire and the power.
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Isaiah 58:8
A Beginning of a New Phase
I woke up hearing " An old phase has ended and a New phase is on you". In the presence of the Lord seeking understanding for what I heard, I heard "Matthew 3". Reading and studying Matthew chapter 3 I was able to see in understanding what the Lord meant by speaking the word "Phases". A phase ended with John's the baptist, baptizing with water and the New phase started by the Lord, Jesus, baptizing by the holy spirit and fire.
The church, even today, still baptizing with water. some churches accepting and receiving the baptism of the holy spirit, others says, it was in the past at the beginning of the church but not any more. I believe that walking in the steps of the old church is what really meant to us by the Lord. We need the baptism of the Holy spirit so we can walk in power and do the work that Jesus did and greater for he went to the father .
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
It is time for the baptism with fire. Purity only can bear the power of the holy spirit to do the work of miracles, signs and wonder. impurity will never bear this power. The same power of the holy spirit that the Lord Jesus gave his disciple and his church.
We are entering a New Phase of the church history, the phase of God's power, the phase of the latter rain. the phase of the double doors and the greater works that the Lord Jesus talked about in John 14:12
16 but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: 17'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS; 18 EVEN ON MY BOND SLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT And they shall prophesy.…Acts 2:16-18
In a vision that I saw this early morning (2.1.15) I was standing in what looked like a big arena, holding a loaf of Sourdough bread in my hand and was still eating from it while watching couple men standing in front of a strategic plan that was framed on the wall. I knew Jesus in one of the men for he was the one who was explaining things on that plan to the other man who was standing with him. Watching them while still eating from the loaf of bread that I had in my hand, Jesus looked at me and started walking toward me. I initiated the talk with excitement and asked him why the color of the loaf of bread that I was eating was Pink , he said it is the color of my love.
Jesus hugged me and kissed me on my neck passionately. When that happened I went into a deep sleep but still able to see that Jesus was still hugging me in an intimate way, it was like we were one . The image was so pure and clear. when I totally was awake from that deep sleep that Jesus's kiss caused, I saw a radiant, illuminating bride, that was so beautiful and so glorious.
…30 because we are members of His body. 31FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. 32This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.…Eph. 5
Praying and meditating on what I saw, I knew that the loaf of the sourdough bread that I had in my hand was Jesus and I was feeding on HIM for HE is the bread of life and I know without a doubt that HE is my bread of life and he desires to be Like this to all of those who will become his bride.
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6
I noticed that I ate almost one third of my loaf. The bread was Pink inside, it had a mild sourness into it and I noticed that it had herbs in it. I recognized the Black Caraway seed in there which we called in the Middle East The Seed of Blessing.
9"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. 11"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.…John 10
Jesus came to me and kissed me passionately on my neck and then I went into a deep sleep. Adam's deep sleep was quickened to my spirit. The Lord put Adam to deep sleep and he created Eve for him from his side.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.…Genesis 2
The Lord with his kiss on my neck, a symbol of his passionate love toward me and all of those who eats HIM as their life, put me into a deep sleep and awaken me to be his bride. This is how the Bride of Christ will be created. It is all of us, who eat the Lord as their life, He becomes their food, He is EVERY THING they need to live and live abundantly. He becomes their life and they become HIS bride. Only intimacy with HIM can approve us to be HIS BRIDE.
2"May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine. 3"Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; Therefore the maidens love you. Song of Solomon 1:2
The Lord Is drawing so many to himself right now through intimacy. He is bringing forth HIS BRIDE and put her on display. What a glorious phase the bride is coming into..We are entering the most glorious season ever.

An objective history of Igbo Catholic Community in Raleigh (ICCR) cannot be written without divisive conflicts that arise from the community's nature of growth. To give equal relevance to all major factors that have shaped and reshaped the community, the history is presented in three phases, namely:
1. The Igbo Catholic Community that met at St. Joseph's, Raleigh, 2000 – 2009.
2. The Nigerian Catholic Community that met at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Raleigh, 2005 – 2009.
3. The Igbo Catholic Community that NOW meets at St. Joseph's, Raleigh, 2009 –
The ICCR at St. Joseph's, Raleigh 2000 -2009:
This community first became visible between the year 2000 and 2001. At this cradle stage the Igbo parishioners in the African Ancestry Ministry and Evangelization Network (AAMEN), St Joseph's Chapter, would organize cultural activities during the Black History Month. Such activities included fashion shows, readings and prayers in Igbo Language and children's expose in the church.
These impressive cultural activities drew the attention of the Pastor, Reverend Monsignor John Williams, who began to initiate moves in collaboration with the organizers of those shows to celebrate the Liturgy in Igbo Language for the Igbo parishioners. The Pastor's encouragement gave Mr. Francis U. Ezeobi of blessed memory the impetus to promise and assure him that his Igbo parishioners would take his proposal on board, and to full success.
As a follow up, Sir Emmanuel Ezeobi and Dr. Marcellina Offoha called for a meeting one Sunday at the close of an 11.30am Mass. Twenty adults and about 14 children attended. The main thrust of the meeting was to let people know that the Pastor, Msgr. J. Williams had asked for and supported the formation of Igbo Catholic Community in the parish. The parish legal status of ICC entitled the community the privilege of inviting a priest who would celebrate the Liturgy in Igbo language for the community. People were encouraged to spread the news far and wide so as to get new and more people.
With more meetings with the Pastor, the community settled for monthly Igbo Mass, on every second Sunday of the month at 1.30pm. Attempts to get Reverend Alex Nakireru, a priest from Nigeria, to celebrate for the community failed owing to the fact that he did not speak the Igbo language.
Success was recorded long after initiatives begun when on March 12, 2006, Reverend Carmilius Ugwu, a priest from Maryland celebrated the first ever Igbo Mass in the diocese of Raleigh, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church Raleigh. He had earlier on celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation in English and Igbo the previous evening.
When Reverend Carmilius Ugwu suddenly resigned, after three years serving the community, the community nearly collapsed. The Pastor himself personally engaged as many as Igbo parishioners he could reach on phone to encourage and to reassure them. It was at this time that the community met and decided to elect a Coordinating Committee to reorganize and re-orientate the community. The Committee comprised Sir D.A. Isima, Sir Emmanuel Ezeobi, Dr. Marcellina Offoha, Mr. Charles Ibeziako and Mr. Emmanuel Uzo Obi. This first committee, however, did not last long as elected, giving rise to a few working volunteer co-ordinators. During this time, several other priests from different places supplied for the community. Reverend Columba Nnorom of St Peter the Apostle Catholic Church, Eboni, Virginia was always available for the community for advice and mentoring.
It is important to note that the community at the time had no finances. It became a concern how to begin as it needed to fund trips for priests who would minister to the community. The family of Bede Nnani, Boniface Maduakolam and Ositadimma Ogbonna kick-started series of volunteers who paid flight tickets for priests to come, while the Pastor saw to hospitality and stipends for about three years.
The Nigerian Catholic Community that met at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Raleigh 2005 – 2009.
The idea of establishing a Catholic worship community for the Igbo speaking people in the Diocese of Raleigh was born in the November of 2005 after Sir. Alphonsus Ekele Ngwadom and his family attended the African/Kenyan Community Mass at Doggert Center, Raleigh. The celebrant of the then African Mass was Rev.Fr. Alex Nakireru, a Nigerian priest from Delta State. After mass, Mrs. Caroline Onyedinma (Sir Ngwadom's mother-in-law) suggested to him that it will be wise to start a Mass for our people. Sir. Ngwadom discussed with Fr. Alex Nakireru about the possibility of beginning Mass for the Igbo community. He agreed but emphasized that his term with the then African community will have to expire before such arrangement; however, he noted that we begin the process by notifying the diocese about it.
Sir Ekele encountered Sir. Ezeobi at the Ghanaian grocery store and they discussed the importance of having an Igbo Mass and Sir. Ngwadom informed him that Rev. Fr. Nakireru will soon be free to celebrate Mass and invited Sir Ezeobi to go with him to meet Fr. Nakireru since his term with the African community was ending in February. The Ngwadom and the Ezeobi families including the Late Pa Ezeobi (may his gentle soul rest in peace) and Mrs. Caroline Onyedinma met with Fr. Nakireru and this time he referred them to Msgr. Thomas Hadden who is the Vicar of the African Ancestry Ministry at the Raleigh Diocese. Sir Ngwadom discussed the issue with Monsignor Hadden in December of 2005, he advised Sir Ngwadom to apply for the Bishop's approval since the Bishop will have to approve any Mass to be officially part of the Diocese. Sir Ekele discussed this with a few individuals and then wrote to the Bishop requesting that we establish an Igbo Mass at the Cathedral and the Bishop approved the request.
On January 2006, the Kenyan community received a priest in the name of Fr. Pius Wakessa to replace Fr. Nakireru. A handover Mass was celebrated in February of 2006 at the Doggett Center and that left Fr. Nakireru free to celebrate the Igbo Mass with our community starting March of 2006. There were some issues that erupted due to the fact that Fr. Nakireru was not an Igbo born man. Unbeknown to Sir. Ngwadom that while he was away in Washington DC., attending a Christening, a Mass in Igbo was planned and celebrated at St. Joseph's.
The first Igbo Diocesan approved Catholic Mass was celebrated by Rev. Fr. Alex Nakireru in March of 2006 at 4:00 pm in the main church because the Hispanic Mass ends at about 3:30 pm. The time was too late for a lot of people so with Monsignor Jerry Sherba's permission, we moved into the school hall to be able to celebrate our Community Mass at 1:30 pm instead of 4:00 pm.
The Igbo Community at the Sacred Heart Cathedral did not want to be part of any misconduct and since the leadership at St. Joseph had adopted the name Igbo Catholic Community, we asked to change the name from Igbo Catholic Community to Nigerian Catholic Community in the RTP in order to accommodate other Nigerian nationals in the Diocese of Raleigh. A close nit family was born with people that genuinely love God and each other. It was indeed a love community. The Nigerian community at the Sacred Heart Cathedral continued celebrating Mass in English with songs from different languages in Nigeria with the excellent leadership of our choir Mr. Louis and Mrs. Ijeoma Orji.
The leaders of the Nigerian Catholic Community requested a meeting with Monsignor Hadden which was held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral Rectory. In attendance were Benson Agu, Dr. Emeka Emekauwa, Louis Orji, Ngozi Ngwadom, Emma Akpuogu, Michael Ogundele and Sir. Ekele Ngwadom. Monsignor Hadden advised us to write an official letter to Bishop Michael Burbidge requesting a Priest.
In March of 2008, with the support of Fr. Nakireru, the Nigerian Catholic Community recommended to the Bishop to accept Rev. Fr. Joseph Kalu Oji as the priest to assist Fr. Nakireru in carrying out his functions in our community. We sent the letter through Monsignor Hadden who was very instrumental in the whole process. We will also not fail to thank Mrs. Martha Bailey (the then Director of the African Ancestry Ministry and Evangelization) for her encouragement and advices throughout the process.
In June of 2008, Bishop Michael Burbidge assigned his Vicar General Msgr. Brockman and Msgr. Hadden to begin the process. One year later, on July 2009, Fr, Joseph Oji, CSSP came from Zimbabwe to be the chaplain of the Nigerian Community.
We will like to take this opportunity to thank the tireless work of the Nigerian Catholic Community in RTP especially our wonderful and tireless leader Sir Ekele Ngwadom, Bishop Burbidge, our Matriarch Mrs. Caroline Onyedinma, Msgr. Hadden (our Patriarch), Mrs. Martha Bailey, Vicar General Msgr. Brockman, Msgr. Jerry Sherba, Fr. Alex Nakireru, Fr. Wakesa, Fr. Joseph Oji for accepting to leave Zimbabwe to come and help build our community, the African/Kenyan community and many others that were instrumental in this love community that was built on God's love.
The ultimate thanks go to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for seeing us through.
The history of the Igbo Catholic Community in Raleigh began to reshape when Reverend Joseph Kalu Oji, C.S.Sp. arrived on the scene as the Chaplain for the two communities. He was installed the Chaplain to the (Igbo/Nigeria) Catholic Community in Raleigh on September 13, 2009 by the Vicar of AAMEN. The first task asked of him by the Diocese of Raleigh, through the Vicar of the African Ancestry, Reverend Monsignor, T.P. Hadden, was to reconcile the communities into one. He started meeting with the groups from July 23, 2009 barely a week after his arrival. Beyond meeting leaders of the communities he made very wide consultations to come to some solution. He explored the activities and conflicts of Igbo Catholic Communities in Germany and in the USA. He talked to various priests including some who were connected to these Igbo communities in the diocese. He also had meetings with the Vicar of the African Ancestry Ministry and Evangelization, the Pastor of St Joseph, the Spiritual Director of ICCUSA, Rev. Msgr. Nworgu and several other individuals. The major problem hinged around Name for the Community and language of celebrating the Liturgy.
He then wrote a report to the Bishop through the office of the African Ancestry Ministry and made some recommendations.
The Chaplain noted important observations. The two communities were basically made up of the same Igbo people, especially at its leadership. The Nigerian Catholic Community had communications going between them and the diocese and the AAMEN Office. The community is said to have been officially inaugurated by the Vicar of the AAMEN, Msgr. T.P. Hadden at a Mass presided by Reverend Alex Nakireru on April 16, 2006 at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Raleigh, according to an advert published for the occasion. This event took place before they had submitted a formal application, dated May 15 2006, which presumed the Igbo Catholic Community, at St Joseph as part of the applicant. On the 9/25/2007, the NCC officially requested for a designated priest for the community, namely, Rev. Alex Nakireru. At a meeting the community held with the Vicar of AAMEN on March 5, 2008 the Vicar, Msgr. Hadden announced to them that the Diocese desired a unity of the two communities, ICC and NCC.
On the contrary, ICC curiously had little records of their activities. It seems the community was confident that the authority of their own Pastor, Msgr. Williams sufficed for any other official recognition, even at the diocesan level. Verbal testimony showed that the community met with the Vicar of AAMEN only at the last quarter of 2008 to request for an Igbo speaking priest. At the dawn of 2009, the ICC put in a formal application for Igbo Liturgy in the diocese, dated January 1.
The Chaplain's decisions and recommendation resulted from the total evaluation of all inquiries from within and outside the Diocese. The new community born from the pre-existing ones will be called Igbo Catholic Community in Raleigh. The Community will sympathize with its members who are non-Igbo speaking and will celebrate a third Mass in the month in mixed-Nigerian languages, and help them build up a community of their own. Committees existing in both communities became one large working-executive pending new arrangement. But then most of the non-Igbo speaking members of the former NCC boycotted their Mass. The Chaplain suspended the third Mass indefinitely.
Organizational Structure:
The Diocese of Raleigh in North Carolina is a home for many communities which celebrate the Liturgy in their own languages. "The Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1979, established a commission of African American Ministry and Evangelization, to address the needs of African American Catholics in the diocese. In November 2002, the Office of African American Ministry changed the name of the office to reflect the community in the Diocese of Raleigh, to African ancestry Ministry and Evangelization Network (AAMEN) to include our brothers and sisters from Africa and Caribbean Islands." There exists in the Diocese Hispanic Ministry for the Spanish Speaking people; Korean and the Vietnamese communities. Communities of the African Ancestry formally known as African Community are the Swahili Catholic Community, the French Catholic Community and the Igbo Catholic Community.
The Igbo Catholic Community like other communities has representatives at the Executive Council of AAMEN. Programs of general events for communities of the African Ancestry are planned at the executive body but, is chiefly the responsibility of the AAMEN Office. Individual communities plan their own programs for the year. Reverend Monsignor T.P. Hadden is the Vicar of AAMEN. Reverend Joseph Kalu Oji, C.S.Sp. is the Chaplain to the ICC and a Parochial Vicar at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, Cary.
ICC as a Chaplaincy is still recovering from the shocks of the unity process. The administration is still on the making and will achieve stability in the near future. People were nominated and were appointed by the Chaplain to various committees like the Advisory Committee, Finance, Socials and Choir Committees. Members of these committees make up the General Council. The Chaplain currently chair the Advisory Committee and General Council and these will prepare the stage for general elections. We use the diocesan guidelines and are preparing our own in consonance with the diocese policies as contained in the guidelines. Formations of CMO, CWO, CYO are do not exist as such although men and women are very active. Their formation is one of the goals to be achieved in order go for general elections. However, we have programs for the adults as well as youths running as programmed. Meetings are held monthly, and general meeting bi-annually. Our funds accrue from offertory, annual harvest and bazaar, pledges launching. Proposed budgets are discussed in the council approved and expenses authorized by the Chaplain.
Our biggest bargain is to teach Igbo language to our children and to adults who are interested. We have a committee working on this. The committee has achieved a remarkable level of progress. They have obtained a syllabus from State School Management Board in Nigeria. Their next step is to push the program to become a part of school curricula in North Carolina so that it can be taught at school and children graded on it as elective subject. Teaching catechesis in Igbo language will wait until the program of Igbo language succeeds, or has taken off.
The choir members are few but very zealous and active. With increased number and encouragements, the sky will become their limit. Anniversaries are the Mothering Sunday, the Fathers' Day and the Youths' Day. These days are preceded with Night Vigils, Recollections, workshops or Retreats.

Having recently read Ian W. Toll's excellent histories of World War Two in the Pacific, I decided to seek out some of the personal accounts that he uses as material for his accounts. One of these is this classic book by Robert Leckie, which forms some of the source material for the TV series Pacific.
Viewers of that will recognise many of the scenes from the Leckie's account. Leckie begins with his training for the Marine Corp and then their deployment on Guadalcanal. Understanding exactly what was taking place is difficult without the wider military context, because Leckie writes from his position as an individual soldier, and rarely gives any wider context.
As a result this, like I imagine the conflict itself, is a claustrophobic experience, focusing on individuals. Leckies' comrades come and go, the action is limited to particular foxholes and patrols. Unusually the author is not afraid of describing personal weaknesses, fear and cowardice by him or others. His first "kill" involves shooting someone in the back and he describes the way that his comrades have to kill the injured enemy in cold-blood for fear of bobby traps and suicide bombs. One comrade, Souvenirs, removes gold teeth from the Japanese dead, until his own death on Peleliu. Leckie is forthright about how the war, and the stress of waiting for battle to begin preyed on the mental health of him and his comrades.
I was also struck by Leckies' insubordination - he, along with others, go AWOL during their recuperation period in Melbourne, an event that is as riotous and drunken as described in Toll's The Conquering Tide. Drink plays a big part of this escape following Guadalcanal, but not as much as sex does, and Leckie's descriptions of his own encounters with women in Melbourne are very different to those portrayed in the TV dramatisation. Not least because it proves that women were as forward as men in the 1940s. Sex clearly didn't begin in the 1960s.
The book after Leckie's experiences during the Battle of Peleliu. This was a brutal experience that involved heavy casualties and brutal sustained conflict between soldiers low on water, food and ammunition. Unsurprisingly Leckie is transformed by his experiences. Indeed his final meditation on the nuclear attacks on Japan poignantly makes it clear how he feels about war. This is certainly not a John Wayne's film full of heroism and clean deaths, but dirty, brutal, real and tremendously sad.

Author announcement # 2: Jim Sharp
Life, however, after that altercation was good to the "would be" captain. He swallowed the salt water with many happy hours on his father's power boat, learning seamanship and discipline from a fair, but demanding disciplinarian who unfortunately passed at an early age. This forced Jim, seeking survival, into an unexpected business endeavor in finance. Not being his forte, escape from the "suit and tie" world was imperative. He had gathered enough to purchase an old 44' Alden classic yawl and set out for the Bahamas to become a charter captain. Hard times, near starvation, working from one job to another, he finally came to Maine to discover the Windjammer fleet out of Camden. Here, with a summer as mate on the leaky, ancient, skin-boats of the original Swift fleet, he decided- come hell or high water- he would settle and carve out a career.
His first was the Schooner Stephen Taber, oldest commercial sail vessel in the U.S. She leaked volumes both through the bottom and the decks. Accepting her salt water circulatory system he sailed that first season without disaster and found that it was "the best thing I ever did". Vowing to remain in the windjammer business, he bought the poor decrepit schooner Adventure, a thoroughbred, hidden under flaking paint, short rig and questionable reputation. A major rebuilding ensued and while in that fit of inertia, he went to work on the Arctic Schooner Bowdoin saving her from death and destruction by the museum of Mystic. Then followed the Schooner Roseway and a string out of over 30 vessels, sail, tugboats, freight boats and just about "anything that would float" kind of boat. It even included a Dutch built canal boat In Europe where for ten years he and his wife, Meg, had cruised the intricate system of waterways in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
Retirement came early and Sharp went for it with reckless abandon. Cruising around the world, crisscrossing the U.S. on lakes and rivers, writing his memoirs, (strangely enough called "With Reckless Abandon") donating his beloved Schooner Adventure to preservation in Gloucester, he, for almost 20 years was occupied with a thousand retirement issues.
He then flunked retirement!
Purchasing the old Outward Bound Property in the South end of Rockland, he proceeded to renovate the buildings and create a little jewel of a museum called the Sail, Power & Steam Museum, Children's Museum, Professional Office building, marina and boat shop.
Some call it "Reckless Abandon", others would call it mentally unhinged.

Appy Thursday! Who's ready for another app review? I was very excited when the wonderful people over at Virtual Speech Center contact me about reviewing, Factory of Categories. because I am kind of a dork and really enjoy working on category goals. Using manipulatives and hands on activates are great for this goal, but show me one student that wouldn't choose to work on a goal on the iPad over a paper activity. So let me show you how this app works!VSC did provide me with a copy of this app, however, all opinions expressed in this review are mine.
When you first open the app, you will see the screen above. This is where you can manage the app settings, view student reports, and get some general info on the app. To begin working, click START.
Here is where you choose the students that you will be working with. I love any app that allows for multiple students to work at the same time. This is ideal for school based therapists or anyone that holds group sessions. In fact, this is a great feature for moms with more than one child that want to do some work at home.
After you select the students, you are able to to choose what area to work on. This app comes with 4 different categories of categories (ha!) You can choose as many as you would like from:
Where does it belong?
Name this category.
Which does not belong?
Add one more that goes with the rest.
Each of these has an easy, moderate, or difficult level.
If you choose, Where does it belong? you will see prompts like the one pictured above. Students must drag the pictures at the top of the screen into the correct boxes below.
If you choose, Name this category, you will see prompts like the one above. Students give verbal responses for this one and you reward them with a check or X based on their answer.
If you choose, Which does not belong? you will see prompts like the one above. Students are to drag the picture that does not belong into the brown bin at the bottom of the screen.
If you choose, Add one more that goes with the rest, you will see prompts like the one above. Students are to drag one picture from the top that is in the same category as the pictures at the bottom.
When you are all finished, you can view a report to see and share student data. I love the option to email these reports. It's a great way to keep open communication with teachers and parents regarding student progress.
This is a great app for targeting categories. I love that VSC included multiple ways to target this goal. This is a fun alternative way to practice and teach the concept of categories. No need to carry around decks of cards, everything you need is on this app. You can download a copy of this app in the iTunes store, here. This app is currently on sale for $5.99, which is incredibly reasonable for all that it includes.
What do you think, is this an app you would use with students on your caseload?

|One of the bike share stations - these were every couple hundred metres
We found one of the stations and put down our deposit and used our contactless cards to beep in to release a bike. The bikes themselves are pretty rudimentary and utilitarian. The three of us found we had to swap bikes about 3 times to find one that didn't have anything broken on it - I was pretty surprised to find that they didn't even have sealed bottom brackets (just the old style with separate cups and lockring) and I got the idea that they weren't that well maintained; one bike I got you couldn't even pedal, not sure what was wrong with it but the cranks were stuck fast, the other didn't have working brakes and I didn't bring a shifter to fix it myself; my mandarin is basically non-existant. Anyway, once we all found bikes we got cruising along.
|mmmm tea and snacks
Suzhou is also not far from Shanghai, a little closer than Hangzhou. We didn't get any bikes, however I did get a few pics. I thought traffic in Shanghai was a bit crazy, Suzhou is even worse. It's an industrial town most well known for its UNESCO world heritage listed gardens. Here's some pics
|We caught a cycle rickshaw and I just loved the ghetto pedals
|Separated bike lanes, 3-4m wide at least
|Suzhou also has these little canals that criss cross the city - a bit like Venice so they say...
Both Hanzhou and Suzhou, as crazy as the traffic was had serious bike lanes and bike infrastructure. I felt a lot safer riding back in Sydney - when you are riding in China you constantly have to be looking out, people cut you off; lots of bike riders just run red lights, it's all quite chaotic. Funny now I look back on it - the kind of squabbles people have in Sydney over some measly bike lanes and a very small amount of bike riders pales in significance to what goes on in China every day.
Now back to Shanghai...
|Yes that is a man holding a crutch with his right hand riding.
|Smallest maccas in the whole world?

Alerts are always based on streams. You can define conditions that trigger alerts. For example whenever the stream All production exceptions has more than 50 messages per minute or when the field milliseconds had a too high standard deviation in the last five minutes.
Hit Manage alerts in the stream overview to see already configured alerts, alerts that were fired in the past or to configure new alert conditions.
Graylog ships with default alert callbacks and can be extended with Plugins.
Alert condition types explained¶
Message count condition¶
This condition triggers whenever the stream received more than X messages in the last Y minutes. Perfect for example to be alerted when there are many exceptions on your platform. Create a stream that catches every error message and be alerted when that stream exceeds normal throughput levels.
Field value condition¶
Triggers whenever the result of a statistical computation of a numerical message field in the stream is higher or lower than a given threshold. Perfect to monitor for performance problems: Be alerted whenever the standard deviation of the response time of your application was higher than X in the last Y minutes.
Field content value condition¶
This condition triggers whenever the stream received at least one message since the last alert run that has a field set to a given value. Get an alert when a message with the field `type` set to `security` arrives in the stream.
We do not recommend to run this on analyzed fields like
message or
full_message because it is broken down to terms and you might get unexpected alerts. For example a check for security would also alert if a message with the field set to no security is received because it was broken down to no and security. This only happens on the analyzed
message and
full_message in Graylog.
Please also take note that only a single alert is raised for this condition during the alerting interval, although multiple messages containing the given value may have been received since the last alert.
What is the difference between alert callbacks and alert receivers?¶
There are two groups of entities configuring what happens when an alert is fired: Alarm callbacks and alert receivers.
Alarm callbacks are a list of events that are being processed when an alert is triggered. There could be an arbitrary number of alarm callbacks configured here. If there is no alarm callback configured at all, a default email transport will be used to notify about the alert. If one or more alarm callbacks are configured (which might include the email alarm callback or not) then all of them are executed for every alert.
If the email alarm callback is used because it appears once or multiple times in the alarm callback list, or the alarm callback list is empty so the email transport is used per default, then the list of alert receivers is used to determine which recipients should receive the alert nofications. Every Graylog user (which has an email address configured in their account) or email address in that list gets a copy of the alerts sent out.
Alert callbacks types explained¶
In this section we explain what the default alert callbacks included in Graylog do, and how to configure them. Alert callbacks are meant to be extensible through Plugins, you can find more types in the Graylog Marketplace or even create your own.
Email alert callback¶
The email alert callback can be used to send an email to the configured alert receivers when the conditions are triggered.
Three configuration options are available for the alert callback to customize the email that will be sent. The email body and email subject are JMTE templates. JMTE is a minimal template engine that supports variables, loops and conditions. See the JMTE documentation for a language reference.
We expose the following objects to the templates.
The stream this alert belongs to.
stream.idID of the stream
stream.titletitle of the stream
stream.descriptionstream description
- A string that contains the HTTP URL to the stream.
The check result object for this stream.
check_result.triggeredConditionstring representation of the triggered alert condition
check_result.triggeredAtdate when this condition was triggered
check_result.resultDescriptiontext that describes the check result
- A list of
messageobjects. Can be used to iterate over the messages via
message(only available via iteration over the
The message object has several fields with details about the message. When using the
messageobject without accessing any fields, the
toString()method of the underlying Java object is used to display it.
message.idautogenerated message id
message.messagethe actual message text
message.sourcethe source of the message
message.timestampthe message timestamp
message.fieldsmap of key value pairs for all the fields defined in the message
message.fieldsfields can be useful to get access to arbitrary fields that are defined in the message. For example
message.fields.full_messagewould return the
full_messageof a GELF message.
HTTP alert callback¶
The HTTP alert callback lets you configure an endpoint that will be called when the alert is triggered.
Graylog will send a POST request to the callback URL including information about the alert. Here is an example of the payload included in a callback:
"check_result": {
"result_description": "Stream had 2 messages in the last 1 minutes with trigger condition more than 1 messages. (Current grace time: 1 minutes)",

Alert callback history¶
Sometimes sending alert callbacks may fail for some reason. Graylog provides an alert callback history for those ocasions, helping you to debug and fix any problems that may arise.
To check the status of alert callbacks, go to the Streams page, and click on the Manage alerts button next to the stream containing the alert callbacks. You can find the alert callback history at the bottom of that page, in the Triggered alerts section.
On the list of alerts, clicking on Show callbacks will open a list of all the callbacks involved in the alert, including their status and configuration at the time the alert was triggered.

Did you know the artist for the novel of this series has a webpage? What's cool are the pictures, everyone likes pictures, because I know I do :D
A more complete version of novel volume 7, though not as clear
I know I said I'm trying hard not to seek out these pics, but the zettai ryouiki was too much for me to control. The rest of the gallery can be accessed here, which is a gallery of other works besides Dakara H (due to the artist's portfolio, I will mark the site as NSFW). And this artist even does hentai manga/doujins, I actually didn't know that until today. While I do find some of those works questionable (I'm a vanilla man :P), I feel ashamed for not recognizing the art style before. Guess I'm not a pervert yet XD
I want her to sit on me too~~. See, to me, a girl doesn't need big boobies to sit on me, a cute butt is all she'll need :P
Look at that haughty pose, so dominating and full of love XD
Oh, and cup sizes for interested parties:
Still, you gotta admit Risarisa's zettai ryouki is a winner in these pics <3

Nexus One takes place in the future during a time when the former U.N., now referred to as the United Government or U.G., is attempting to discover extraterrestrial worlds and obtain mining rights from their inhabitants for precious minerals that are becoming scarce on earth. In particular it follows the crew of the Nexus, one of two space ships tasked with searching these worlds out.
The story is told in the first person following the Captain of the ship and his daily dealings with crew issues, planetary issues, and his own personal 'demons'. Wilson does well delivering a strong character in the Captain, and though he is a depth of emotions his dark and slightly sociopathic side comes out in most of the dialogues between him and his crewmembers.
As the ship travels and more about its inner workings are explained as the story progresses, Wilson does a spot on job, in true Sci-Fi fashion, of explaining its operations in a way that doesn't leave you wondering how things are possible. Everything from the way the engines work, which was a new way that hasn't been used in every sci-fi fantasy since Star Wars, to the way the probes that reach new planets scan said planet and monitor the locals.
Each time they visit a new planet Wilson paints a good, strong, picture of new and amazing creatures that fit well into their environments and still seem plausible. The worlds range from giant shapeless amoebas to strange chameleon-like psychics, each one fascinating and new.
The one thing that Nexus keeps going back to throughout, and one of the best and worst parts about it, is the crew interactions during the long treks in between planets. As the story progresses you are introduced to more and more characters, each with his or her own personality; even the ships A.I. has a strong individual personality that garnered a chuckle from me on more than one occasion.
The story has several positive moments that kept me interested throughout:
- Nexus One travels at, like the ship, near light speed. It quickly moves, in a way that is very smooth and precise.
- The characters all feel like individuals and have their own nuances in the speak that keeps them feeling separate, which is no easy feat when you consider the amount of characters throughout the story.
- The setting is new, and the ship itself is unique. This includes each world that feels like something I'd never seen, though also like something I could see.
- Though the characters are unique, and most dialogues are well done. Several times, especially the character of the Captain, the conversations are filled with more sexual innuendo than they needed.
- This is more of an extension than the first con than a new one, but the sexual aspects were really forced onto a couple of the worlds where event he A.I. seemed to be getting involved. It almost goes back to Captain Kirk and the green women, though on a more modern and extreme level.
In the end Nexus One is a really good read with a smooth flow, wonderful characters and a strong new story. I definitely recommend picking it up, even if you aren't a fan of Sci-fi. There is a LOT of adult related material, including two pages of describing combination testicles and breasts, but overall its more fun/funny rather than graphic.
Overall I'm going to give Nexus One by Nicholas Wilson a 7/10 based on:
8/10 for readability- The story flows well throughout and keeps you turning the page wondering what Wilson has in store for the next world.
8/10 for story- Though exploring planets and traveling through space is a premise for several books, Nexus One goes about it in a different way. It's filled with the elements that not only make a good Sci-fi adventure, but also just a good read.
7/10 for characters- As I mentioned earlier I really enjoyed the characters. Wilson created several characters, each with their own personality and behavior. One thing that set them back a bit was the dialogue hindered them a little. On one hand you would have a brilliant psychiatrist, then every other sentence in an exchange is sexual in manner. The humor was there but it being laid on a little bit thick took away from some of the characters.
7/10 for humor- The dialogue is riddled with sexual innuendo and jokes that while funny for the most part, tend to weigh it down some. The humor itself is one of the main pieces that makes this story different than the rest. For the most part it hits home, but there are a few instances when it doesn't quite hit the mark.
Thank you to Nicolas Wilson for giving me the opportunity to read and review Nexus One. It was a step out of my comfort zone, one that I'm very happy I got to take.

Proposal to Create a Botanical Garden, Dated
Proposal to Create a Botanical Garden signed by many of the
influencial men associated with the Hospital's early history
- Dated 1774. Though this proposal was accepted, the Garden
was not planted at the time due to financial constraints.
However, in 1976, as a part of the Nation's bicentennial celebration,
the Physic Garden was planted in front of the Pine Building's
West Wing in the spirit of the original proposed garden.

I did, didn't I? Blast you with food recipes. So you don't hate me and leave I'm slowing down and will only post a couple a week. Also because I tend to repeat many of the meals here.
Be aware that if you're trying to shed a few layers of body fat you can always back off on the yolks of eggs and just use the whites. Not as tasty but 100% protein and only trace elements of fat.
Skillet, egg slice, small pot, smiles.
dob of butter
olive oil
3 eggs but only 2 yolks
handful of baby spinach
6 sage leaves
1 large flat mushroom chopped rustically
1 clove garlic, grated
half a medium red chilli finely chopped
fresh ground black pepper
equivalent to Wymah organic olive paste, Moroccan style because it contains no nasties
Pop the butter in the pot over a low heat
When just melted add mushies, chilli, sage leaves and garlic. Put the lid on.
Slurp of olive oil into the skillet over a low heat, throw in the spinach to soften.
Crack eggs into the bowl and whip a little with a fork, add to spinach.
Check on the mushies. Probably soft enough now to turn off the heat.
When the eggs are juuuuuust cooked turn off the heat and plate it all up.
Add a goodly teaspoon of olive paste to the side.
Bon apetit! x

The complainant applied for employment as a Protective Services Officer with the respondent law enforcement agency. He said he passed the entrance exam, the traffic and criminal record checks and the fitness test. The complainant disclosed he had experienced a short period of depression and had undergone spinal surgery several years earlier but had no ongoing medical conditions. He claimed the law enforcement agency told him his current application and any future applications would not be considered because he was deemed medically unfit for the role.
On being advised of the complaint the law enforcement agency agreed to participate in conciliation.
The complaint was resolved with an agreement that the agency review the complainant's file with respect to medical suitability in light of additional information the complainant would provide.

After the data logger was calibrated, it was necessary to establish a stable seismometer subsystem test bed. Nine different STS1 instruments (six horizontal, and three vertical instruments) from a variety of sources were used. These sensors came from among the available BDSN sensors, from surplus sensors on loan from the Gräfenberg Array and from IGPP, UC San Diego. The instruments were set up and leveled, and the outputs to the Q4120 data logger were compared quantitatively. The sensors were systematically inspected and checked for nominal operation, and the ones that performed the best were selected for the testing procedures and installed in the test bed. The horizontal instruments were aligned along a single axis, toward the East, enabling coherency comparisons and evaluations. Misalignment of less than one degree across the six horizontal instruments caused unacceptable variances in signal coherency. It took a week to resolve these differences by rotating the individual instruments. Alignment of the vertical instruments was much easier. Only after all alignment incoherences were resolved were the new Metrozet electronics evaluated against the original Streckeisen factory electronics. The broadband STS-1 sensors listed in Table 3.16 were utilized during the testing procedures.

I love Susan's stories! From the Mindjack trilogy to the Debt Collector series, I'm just in awe.
|Amazon US
Delirium - EPISODE 1 of the Debt Collector serial. Contains mature content and themes. For young-adult-appropriate thrills, see Susan's bestselling Mindjack series.
What's your life worth on the open market?
A debt collector can tell you precisely.
Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat, jackboots, and the black marks on his soul that every debt collector carries. He's just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja's sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane... until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted by a sex worker who isn't what she seems, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone--a dark pit he's not sure he'll be able to climb out of again.
Delirium is approximately 12,000 words or 48 pages, and is one of nine episodes in the first season of The Debt Collector serial. This dark and gritty future-noir is about a world where your life-worth is tabulated on the open market and going into debt risks a lot more than your credit rating.
My review:
Delirium delivered. I appreciate the dark and twisted and this gave it to me with a noir/sci-fi flair. Lirium is perfectly flawed and the world Susan creates is one you'd almost want to be in if it weren't scary to consider how much one's life would be worth on an open market *shudder*
I can't wait to read the next episode, which I have in my kindle library. Now back to writing so I can get to the next installment.
Is there a great series you've discovered? Please feel free to tell us about it in the comments.

10 Reasons Americans love to travel New Zealand
It's no surprise that American visitors love visiting New Zealand - here are the top 10 reasons why it's at the top of so many US dream vacation lists.
1 / 4
As a born and bred American but now proudly a permanent New Zealand resident, I can honestly say this tiny island country near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean has won a special place in my heart. And I'm not the only one who thinks so!
Here are 10 reasons 'my people' love you New Zealand!
1) It is the ideal country for a newbie traveller
This wasn't my first trip abroad, but it was my first trip as a solo traveller. I found New Zealand to be the perfect first foreign country to visit as an American striking out on her own for the first time. They speak English so you don't have to worry about a language barrier. With its familiar elements of American and British culture mixed with distinctive Kiwi flare, I never felt like a complete outsider. Not to mention that New Zealanders themselves are incredibly friendly and usually more than willing to help if you find yourself struggling.
2) It's the real Middle Earth
If you've seen the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, you know that the background scenery truly made those movies. Coming to New Zealand and seeing many of the filming locations in real life, you realise that those movies almost didn't do the scenery justice. In particular, while travelling the South Island, each new day will bring you to a new place you think is the most beautiful place you've ever seen. Plus, you can visit the real Hobbiton Movie Set – even people who aren't fans of the films will enjoy wandering amongst the hobbit holes and drinking a hobbit-sized pint at the Green Dragon.
3) Adventure is a way of life.
If you're the adventurous type or think you might be, New Zealand is the country for you. After all, it's the home of bungy jumping and Zorbing! You can skydive in some of the most stunning locations around the country. White water rafting is available on most rivers. Even if you don't fancy throwing yourself off of or out of something, you can still push outside your own personal comfort zone. Horse trekking, caving, surfing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, even just hiking in the backcountry – everywhere you turn, there is an element of adventure!
4) The hiking is out of this world
From 20 minute jaunts to a waterfall to epic multi-day 'tramps', as Kiwis call them, there is a walk for you, no matter your fitness level or interest. You can discover hidden beaches on the short hike to Cathedral Cove or along the Abel Tasman track, one of NZ's famous Great Walks. If you love mountains, check out the top one-day walk the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Instagram favourite Roys Peak in Wanaka or climb to Key Summit in Fiordland National Park. Lacing up your boots and walking is one of the best ways to see the real New Zealand!
5) Surf and sand to mountains and snow – all in one day
Growing up in a country where you could drive all day and still be staring at vast open prairie, there is something to be said for how quickly the landscape changes in New Zealand. No joke, you can spend the morning surfing along the black sand beaches of Raglan, drive about 4 hours inland and be skiing or snowboarding in the Tongariro National Park that afternoon. For a small country that's roughly the same size as California, New Zealand packs plenty of punch.
6) There are no bad beaches
While I may be more of a mountain girl at heart, I can't deny that New Zealand has some truly fantastic beaches. That's to be expected from an island nation with 8,700 miles (14,000km) of coastline! Choose from any of the white sand beaches in the Bay of Islands, the Coromandel, and the East Cape on the North Island or check out the hidden coves and inlets of Abel Tasman National Park and Stewart Island in the south – you're spoiled for choice, no matter where you go.
7) Seals and dolphins and whales – oh my!
All of that coastline means there's also a big focus on the marine habitats and abundant wildlife just off shore. Kaikoura is the best place in the country to go on a whale watching tour to spot humpback and sperm whales, take a boat trip to swim with wild dolphins or look for wild seals sunning themselves on the rocks. While you could see aquatic wildlife almost anywhere, hot spots on the North Island to check out what's swimming beneath the waves are the marine reserves in the Bays of Islands, Hahei and Auckland.
8) Maori cultural appreciation
From greeting someone with a friendly 'kia ora' to the All Blacks performing the Haka to the beautiful greenstone pendants you notice people wearing, you'll see hints of Maori culture enmeshed in everyday life almost everywhere you turn. It's well worth learning more about the Maori to really appreciate their role in New Zealand. Places like Kohutapu Lodge at Lake Aniwhenau will show you how Maori culture is being preserved and celebrated in a modern community, while Tamaki Maori Village in Rotorua will give you an interactive demonstration of how New Zealand's first settlers lived.
9) Diehard coffee culture
New Zealanders drink a lot of coffee and they take it very seriously. If you want the true Kiwi coffee drinking experience, ask for a flat white, which is a shot or two of espresso topped with velvety microfoam (it is nothing like the 'flat whites' you get at Starbucks). If you are a dedicated brewed coffee drinker, try a long black or an Americano, although both are still made with espresso. Whatever you do, don't try the filter coffee and don't ask for an iced coffee (unless you want something like a Frappuccino) – it's not the same as back home!
10) Getting off the beaten track
There are spots in NZ with no cellphone or internet reception, and it's not a bad thing! In fact, those are my favourite spots in the country. Tucked away in the heart of the North Island is a working sheep farm with an eco-conservation mission called Blue Duck Station, and down in the far corner of the South Island is Fiordland National Park, home to the mind blowing Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound. The best thing is you can literally get away from it all and escape into these places where your phone isn't dinging away and you can really focus on the gobsmacking beauty around you. Just tell your mom she won't hear from you for a few days and embrace the digital detox!
When it comes to getting around, a US driver's license is valid for car hire in New Zealand, but I preferred spending my time watching all that amazing scenery through the window without worrying about keeping to the left side of the road and how much gas costs. A hop-on, hop-off bus pass was the perfect solution that allowed me flexibility to tailor my trip based on what I wanted to do and meet other cool travellers who shared my love of hiking, hobbits and coffee. Stray New Zealand focuses on getting off the beaten track and offers both flexible hop-on, hop-off bus passes that are valid for up to a year and small group fixed tours for those on more restricted time schedules.

The Grove
Explore this section
Many of our students cite the Sixth Form as being "the best part" of their time here.
The Sixth Form at The Grove is a very special environment that bridges the gap between school and the outside world whilst being underpinned by the care and commitment that is the bedrock of Woodhouse Grove.
In fact, it is collaboration between staff and students that is at the heart of our Sixth Form community with each pupil's unique potential being recognised, valued and nurtured to help them become the very best that they can be. Each student selects four subjects to study in the Lower Sixth and a timetable is then built around their choices. We also encourage them to seize the many activities on offer – academic, sporting and in the Arts and take the opportunity to "give back" to the wider community through one of our volunteering programmes. We believe that this well-rounded, diverse approach is key to building confidence – both academic and personal.
The Sixth Form is a time of transition.
The Sixth Form Pastoral staff have offices in the Common Room area and are so are always on hand to provide support and advice.
Sixth Form facilities include a spacious and comfortable common room with access to the ever popular "Woody's Café", an important port of call for nourishment during A Level revision!
We take care to balance guidance and support with independence within a nurturing environment. We are proud and thrilled to see our students leave Woodhouse Grove as confident, happy adults who are well-prepared both academically and emotionally to enter the world of University or Work as Old Grovians and true ambassadors for the school.
Students become increasingly responsible for planning their time to include independent study alongside their other activities.

Syria conflict: Russia strikes 'undermining peace talks'
Russian air strikes in Syria are "undermining" efforts to find a political solution to the war, Nato's secretary general has said.
Jens Stoltenberg said the raids were mainly targeting the Syrian opposition.
Moscow insists it is battling "terrorism".
This week, fledgling peace talks were suspended as Syrian government forces, backed by the Russian military, launched a fresh offensive against rebels in Aleppo.
Thousands of civilians are reported to be fleeing Syria's largest city.
- Who's to blame for peace talks' suspension?
- Displaced Syrians struggles to survive
- The story of the conflict
"The intense Russian air strikes mainly targeting opposition groups in Syria are undermining the efforts to find a political solution to the conflict," Mr Stoltenberg said.
He said the air strikes posed a particular problem for Nato member Turkey, which is already embroiled in a row with Russia after Turkey shot down a Russian jet it accused of violating its airspace.
Increased Russian activity "creates risks and heightens tensions and is of course a challenge for Nato", Mr Stoltenberg said.
On Thursday, Turkey warned up to 70,000 people might be heading to its border from Aleppo, but on Friday a BBC correspondent at the border town of Kilis saw no indication yet of large numbers of refugees.
Separately, the United Nations said at least 15,000 people had fled Aleppo.
The Syrian government is reported to have made further gains on the ground on Friday, recapturing the town of Ratyan, north of Aleppo.
Earlier in the week, it claimed a major victory by breaking the rebel siege of two towns in Aleppo province, severing an opposition supply line from Turkey to Aleppo city.
A rebel commander fighting under the Free Syrian Army told Reuters the northern countryside in Aleppo province was "totally encircled, and the humanitarian situation is very difficult".
"It feels like a siege of Aleppo is about to begin," said a spokesman for aid group Mercy Corpsm David Evans, who said the main humanitarian route was cut off.
Since 2012, Aleppo has been divided into rebel and government-held areas. Before the conflict it was a key commercial centre and home to over two million people.
Meanwhile Turkey has dismissed Russian claims that it was planning to invade Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the accusation "laughable", according to state media.
What is the Syria conflict?
Why is there a war in Syria?
Anti-government protests developed into a civil war that, four years on, has ground to a stalemate, with the Assad government, the so-called Islamic State group, an array of Syrian rebels and Kurdish fighters all holding territory.
Who is fighting whom?
Government forces concentrated in Damascus and the centre and west of Syria are fighting the jihadists of Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, as well as less numerous so-called "moderate" rebel groups, which are strongest in the north and east. These groups are also battling each other.
What's the human cost?
More than 250,000 Syrians have been killed and a million injured. Some 11 million others have been forced from their homes, of whom four million have fled abroad - including growing numbers who are making the dangerous journey to Europe.
How has the world reacted?
Iran, Russia and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement are propping up the Alawite-led Assad government, while Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar back the more moderate Sunni-dominated opposition, along with the US, UK and France. Hezbollah and Iran are believed to have troops and officers on the ground, while a Western-led coalition and Russia are carrying out air strikes.

Be A.W.A.R.E. Campaign Promotes Safety
The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.) has launched a new campaign to promote safety with tube feeding. Directed at clinicians, the 2010 Be A.W.A.R.E. Campaign features a poster focused on the proper delivery of medication through enteral feeding tubes.
Last year A.S.P.E.N. ran a similar campaign, Be A.L.E.R.T., focused on educating nurses to help prevent enteral misconnections and improve enteral nutrition safety. Tubing misconnections can be extremely dangerous, as when enteral formula is administered through an IV line.
Download the Be A.L.E.R.T. and Be A.W.A.R.E. posters from www.nutritioncare.org (select "For Patients and Caregivers," then "Patient Safety Information" near the bottom of the page), or call (800) 776-OLEY to request a copy. They can be useful at home or in hospital. More information about enteral misconnections and other enteral topics is also available on A.S.P.E.N.'s "Patient Safety Information" page.

I saw these online and thought it would be great to recreate them using my personal touch. They are called Tooth Fairy Tins! These will be great as little gifts for all my pregger friends...and those that already have little tikes running about! I bought the Wilton Favor Tin Kit, so I got 30 round tins to do this project. Now, for the hard part....I had to create a template to produce these little suckers!!! Thank goodies for my fine skills in Publisher. It took a little while, but I managed to make 2 separate templates (one in pink & brown for little girls & one in blue & brown for little boys). And then my thought was to share these with others who might like to try their hand at this little project! Here is a photo of what they look like currently, I am still playing with them to give them a little more punch - I am probably going to do more ribbon to the top along the lip! We'll see.
The templates can be found on the RHS under templates.
I also did these cute little Microwave Popcorn Wraps. I used designer paper and a box of 10 mini Kernels popcorn packages....cut the DSP to size, wrapped and once again, created a template for the labels. I believe both the labels above as well as these ones will work with the SU punches. Hope you enjoy using them!!!
The first batch say's "Just Popping By To Say Hi" - a great just because gift!
And the second batch say's "Look Who Is Ready To Pop!!!" - great baby shower take homes for your guests!
The label template is located on RHS under templates! Enjoy!!
I really hope you guys enjoyed these projects, I just can't seem to get enough of altering stuff so hopefully it will keep you coming back for more & more!

After the opening credits, the film begins with the following statement: "We acknowledge with appreciation the assistance of the official historian of Lloyd's of London in the preparation of the historical background for this production." Curtis Kenyon's original story was entitled "The Bell Ringers." Reviews noted that the main character, "Jonathan Blake," was fictional and that the film took many liberties with historical events. The program notes for the film's premiere state that Lloyd's insured the production for $1,000,000, and modern sources state that the film was budgeted at $850,000. According to a Hollywood Reporter news item, the chairmen of Lloyd's, in a letter to studio head Darryl Zanuck, lauded the film for its excellence.
According to information in SAB, the screen credits, as originally intended by the studio, did not include writer Walter Ferris. He protested and the studio then backed him, but Ernest Pascal wanted full credit for the screenplay. Ferris then offered to settle for an "additional dialogue" credit, but this did not comply with the AMPAS Code that governed writing credits, so the dispute was submitted to Twentieth Century-Fox scenario editor Julian Johnson for arbitration, and Ferris was awarded a co-screenplay credit.
This was Tyrone Power's first starring role. According to a New York Times news item, because of his performance in this film, he was signed to a seven-year contract with Twentieth Century-Fox to begin in May 1937. Modern sources relate that Don Ameche was tested first for the role of Jonathan Blake, but that director Henry King prevailed upon Zanuck to look at a test of the same scenes with Power; because of King's recommendation and that of editor Barbara McLean, Zanuck gave the role to Power. Variety commented concerning Power, "He's okay. He's going places. He has looks and he has acting ability. The women ought to go for him in a big way."
According to Hollywood Reporter production charts, Loretta Young, who was originally cast as "Lady Elizabeth," was in the production until mid-September 1936. Information in the Twentieth Century-Fox Records of the Legal Department, states that Young was suspended by the studio after she left the role. According to a September 17, 1936 Hollywood Reporter news item, Madeleine Carroll was then borrowed from Walter Wanger to replace Young, whom, Hollywood Reporter reported, was on a Hawaiian vacation for her health. Modern sources state that Young refused the role because she learned that Power's role was being expanded at the expense of her own.
According to a Hollywood Reporter news item, George Sanders was borrowed from British and Dominions Film Corp. This was his first American film. Publicity for the film states that sixty-five sets were built and that Chris Christensen, the nautical technical director, built all the ships in the film and had also built the ships in The Sea Hawk (Associated First National, 1924), Moby Dick (Warner Bros., 1930) and Mutiny on the Bounty (M-G-M, 1935). Wilfrid Lawson is listed as a cast member in an early Hollywood Reporter production chart, but his participation in the final film has not been confirmed. According to an ad in Hollywood Reporter, the film was shot on Eastman Super-X Negative. This film received two Academy Award nominations: for interior decoration (William Darling) and for film editing (Barbara McLean). Modern sources credit Ray Sebastian with make-up.

are you an isolationist or a curator?
8 comments:
Hi Jen. Thanks for this article. Recently I've been seeing the need for wisdom and discernment in who we listen to, both in my life and the lives of those around me. It is easy to be swept here and there by such a range of teaching. Really value the work of the Gospel Coalition and your involvement there to help us as women learn how to have discernment and also encourage us to delve into God's Word, trusting the Holy Spirit to fashion us more like Jesus. Hard balance sometimes between being an isolationist or a curator! EmilyReplyDelete
I'm the curator all the way. I feel like a biblical commentary addict suffering from crippling withdrawal right now as I'm doing Judges. James was hard to not seek outside input. This is KILLING ME.ReplyDelete
Here's the inner conversation everyday:
Me: WHAT?! He sent his wife / concubine out to all of those men to be raped to death all night?! I have to find something to explain this!!
Me with Jen Wilkin's voice in my head (MWJWVIMH): NOOOO! STOP! You are not allowed to use any commentary. You just need to be uncomfortable and pray for the Spirit to enlighten and help you wrestle with the text.
Me: But J. sacrifices his daughter and, unlike Abraham, God didn't tell him to and doesn't stop him! I have no mental framework for this! I'm freaking out!
(MWJWVIMH): Sorry! You can't seek outside comments. Just stop and be uncomfortable. Don't cheat!
Me: O.k. MWJWVIMH, but I don't like you very much right now and I'm not happy. This is really, really, really uncomfortable. None of this makes any sense and although I can come up with wild speculations, I have no way of knowing if any of my ideas are crazy or close to the truth.
(MWJWVIMH): That's o.k. Just don't look anything up.
Me: Not o.k. for me! And this isn't even covered for WEEKS in FMWBS. Are you saying I have to wait until then without any help?!
(MWJWVIMH): Yes.
Me: . . . . See before comment about my unhappiness. . . .
Seriously, though, I love this way of studying the bible even if it is insanely uncomfortable and making me twitchy. From the agonized look my husband is giving me after I bombard him with questions, I'm guessing he does not share my feelings ;)Replies
Ha! You totally CAN hear me in your head! Yeah, there's a whole lot of that "dwelling in the I-don't-know" stuff in the Judges study. It's definitely not for sissies. Sit tight - we'll sort out the carnage. I hope. :)Delete
Jen-Thanks for writing this post. I want to be a student of the word! Not an isolationist or a curator. I've been learning how to study the bible, and when I read Women of the Word last year it really encouraged and challenged me. Thank you for writing and thank you for spurring women on in the truth that the scriptures can stand alone when we come to them with the desire to hear from and seek God's voice for ourselves.ReplyDelete
I'm definitely more of a curator! I blame the school system (ha!) where you couldn't have a reasonable thesis on personal study or opinion alone. Such an emphasis on other scholars and what they say, then forming your opinion in light of them... I love to study but it's a discipline to put the commentaries and theology books AWAY and trust the spirit of truth in me as I read God's word. Also reacting against the "whatever-gods-word-says-to-ME-is-true" school of thought ;)ReplyDelete
Thank you for the challenge to be whole as a student of the Bible.ReplyDelete
I really appreciate this post! It can be easier and self-blinding to swing into one of these two types and simply blame personality or ability level. I would like to point out that there are seasons where you find yourself in one or the other "camp". When I was in college or had only one child, I had lots of time for personal study, in-depth prayer and searching for answers. Now that my life is very much more full with kids and all they require, I find that a study with more bite-sized pieces fits better. Thanks for encouraging balance!ReplyDelete
I'm a huge fan of your book and I just discovered your blog! I love this post in particular because for so long I was an isolationist and I'm just discovering the richness of wealth in what God has spoken to others!ReplyDelete

Model Home
by Alice Whately photographs by David Loftus
With its geometric lines and cool sorbet colours, model India Hicks' 60s Bahamian retreat is the perfect setting for entertaining. Alice Whately joins a tropical house party.
India Hicks is painting. Watery images of hibiscus flowers and conch shells soak into a pile of grainy postcards by her side, echoing larger pencil sketches hanging on coloured boards around the house. Later she addresses the cards to family in England, and friends in New York - People from a life filled with modelling assignments and fundraisers - a life she has decided to take a break from for six months at Savannah, the holiday home which her father, interior designer David Hicks, built in the Bahamas.
It is the perfect bolt hole. Hidden on the private island of Windermere, which connects to the larger island of Eleuthera by bridge, the house was inspired by an Egyptian tomb. Two pillars guard the entrance to the building, which is made of concrete mixed with sand taken from the beach two minutes' walk away. There is no television and no phone. 'Not being contactable is one of the reasons why I love being here,' explains India.
Kitted out by David Hicks in the 60s, the spacious pinky-beinge rooms are 'liberal and easy to live in' says India. The tomb-like quality makes the house feel solid-feeling which is reinforced by the cuboid tables.

Moro struggles: Peace talks with the Ramos government
The Ramos government also went into peace negotiations with the MNLF. They will discus modalities in implementing the Tripoli Agreement. The negotiations went on for two years without anything happening. The Tripoli Agreement could not be implemented through an Executive Order. The Congress must amend or change the Organic Act and come up with a new law to create a new autonomous government. This causes the Tripoli Agreement aside and again stalls the negotiations.
