Question to Anthony W. Brooks
On a post I wrote about a month ago I received a question via Gmail asking me what my favorite Study Bible was. The post aimed to objectively grade known Reformed Study Bibles on a number of aesthetics. You can read it here. But I never said what my favorite study bible is. Well, no doubt, it was in the post, and the answer might shock everyone here, but I'll tell you.
Before I tell you what it is and where you can buy one I want to tell you what I look for in a Bible before I buy one. Bibles are not about aesthetics with me. They don't have to look and smell pretty for me to buy one, but they do have to be in an accurate translation, with good layouts, and quality materials. I don't want to buy a Bible that is only going to last a year. I want a Bible that will be a joy to me for many years, and so far, that is my experience with that criteria.
My Favorite Study Bible
There are many things about my favorite Study Bible that might only be appealing to me. That is why I need to stress this point, that not everyone will like this study bible and there is need to research all the possible contenders before you invest in a study bible for yourself. Don't just take my word for it…
Here it is, My favorite Study Bible!
Isn't this surprising! A KJV Bible won my heart… But it is true. The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible is my favorite. Let's get into specifics as to why I chose this beauty.
This is a clean page out of 2nd Samuel. There are many things to consider here. First thing that stands out is that there are no chapter introductions or cross references. The norm in a study bible is a center or side column cross reference system and that isn't here. All references are included in the footnotes at the bottom. Also the chapter headings are at the bottom as well introducing the footnotes on a particular chapter. This allows the scripture text to be clean and readable for the reader, and keeps all man made additions (aside from the chapter and verse divisions) to stay in one place for reference if need be.
Personal and Family Worship Study Questions
This is unique among study helps. This study bible was commissioned by Joel Beeke (a puritan expert) who has stressed the need for family worship in the home. His study bible is no different and is built to aid the family in this endeavor. At the end of each chapter there are sections for family worship questions and thoughts to aid in instruction on these issues.
This Bible has plenty of extras to aid a growing and conscientious Christian. Mind you, this is a Reformed study bible, so all of the aids and extras will be Reformed in nature. So if that isn't your mindset, this Bible isn't for you.
This cool section is a brief outline of church history. It goes century by century through history and hits all of the highlights.
The top of the cake is that you can carry your book of confessions around with you. The necessary creeds of the faith along with the "Six Forms of Unity" as I call them.
Apostle's Creed
Nicene Creed
Athanasian Creed
Belgic Confession
Heidelberg Catechism
Westminster Confession
Westminster Shorter Catechism
Westminster Larger Catechism
And even better is that all of these confessions and catechisms are contain scriptural annotations to look up the relevant passages of scripture.
There are cons for people looking into buying this Bible. This Bible is only available in the KJV. I was raised on the King James Version so I do not mind this being my regular reference. But for some people a modern version is a better option.
This Bible doesn't have a central reference system. All necessary references are contained in the footnotes. For those who find a columned reference Bible useful and preferred, this isn't for you.
This is a classically Reformed study system. The Young, Restless, Reformed believers who don't accept Classic Reformed Confessions, Reformed Ecclesiology, or Eschatology this isn't for you. It also has a cessationist leaning as well as opposed to continuationism.
What I carry it in!
I carry it in a simple charcoal gray zipper case. There is about half an inch around the side of the case for the Bible to breath. I keep my Pigma Micron in the pen-holder inside so I can study anywhere and write notes as needed.
Where can you buy one?
You can get one as cheap as $24 here.
Soli Deo Gloria

Welcome to the Merry Monday link party!
Hi friends,
Well, this week flew by once again. High school basketball games have ruled my life recently but I'm totally ok with that because we're in the state playoffs! I'm so proud to go cheer on my students but it definitely eats into blog time.

So that's why I didn't have a post for you on Thursday. Not to worry though, I redid the projects and you can expect one of them tomorrow!

The $10 bet was the maximum allowed on a slot machine for the Labor Day holiday weekend, WXTF reported. The woman made the winning pull at approximately 3 p.m., the casino said on its Twitter feed.

What makes Scott Rider's story so extraordinary and resonate deeply with people isn't the accomplishments, but the unforeseen setback – the reality check that requires an honest assessment about how to move forward and forge a lasting legacy.
A few words about Scott
Scott was a world-class runner with the awards and recognition to back it up: A two-time All-American, and three-time Big Ten Conference champion. He also set the 800 Meter record at The Ohio State University in 1982 – a record that still stands today. His name is etched in the history books alongside the likes of Butch Reynolds and Jesse Owens.
While few could catch Scott on the track, there's one thing that proved to be a formidable foe: Parkinson's disease – something that would ultimately derail Scott's lifelong joy of running.
A Parkinson's diagnosis, devastating as it is, has revealed an opportunity to find a renewed sense of urgency; of purpose and intention. Always driven to be the best version of himself – as a husband, a father of three, as a business owner, student of life, and of course, a competitor – Scott is moving beyond the achievements of yesterday. He's adapting to a reality that is as ever present as a subtle hand tremor, the slightly slower pace of his walk. He's finding joy by logging those same familiar miles he once ran, but now on a bicycle.
Acceptance comes harder. Giving up the things he loved only to recognize everyday mundane tasks as the day's new challenges doesn't come easy. But Scott has never been one to take himself out of the race or to back down from larger-than-life challenges. He's fighting back, winning new battles each day. And with a strong faith and commitment to persevere in the face of adversity, perhaps Scott's greatest achievements are playing out in front of us – right now.
In this new chapter of life for Scott, it's no longer about setting records, winning trophies and accumulating wins. Today there are decidedly fewer accolades, but the ones he does receive – they matter more. Even for this competitor at heart, Scott understands that it's not about winning or losing – it's about the willingness to stay in the game, regardless of circumstances. And, more important than ever, it's about those remarkable individuals who stand beside and behind him, cheering him on every small step of the way.
Scott's incredible can-do spirit is a testament to what a life well-lived can look like. He is – in a word – inspiring. And he's willing to share the depth and details of his story with others, wherever they are and against whatever odds they face.

Action from Moss Rose as pre-season continued.
- Latics held 0-0 by Macclesfield Town in pre-season friendly.
- Adam Bogdan makes penalty saving debut.
- Flick through the action with our photo gallery from Moss Rose.
Club Photographer Bernard Platt was on hand to catch the action from Wigan Athletic's 0-0 draw at Macclesfield Town, as on loan Liverpool goalkeeper Adam Bogdan saved a penalty with his first touch after replacing Jussi Jaaskelainen at half time.
Nick Powell was involved from the start for the first time since re-joining the club, whilst Reece James made a return from injury as a substitute and Danny Whitehead returned to his former club from the bench.

Photographer gets hold of an iPhone 7 (or it's just a hoax – your call)
24 April 2016, 08:19
Alaskan photographer Jake Elko claims to have got hold of an iPhone 7 in order to test its photography capabilities. In an Instagram posting, reproduced below (screenshot here), Jake claims he's sharing details of the alleged iPhone's camera sensor. He appears to claim Apple's loaned him the phone for testing purposes.
He claims the device has an 18.3 megapixel sensor, optional wide-angle lens setting, infrared sensor, and RGYB color monitor.
The latter in that list is somewhat confusing, and we're not sure if Jake's referring to the iPhone screen's color gamut, or that of the sensor. The infrared sensor is likely to help with focussing.
We've reached out to Jake and will update if we get any kind of reply. It might seem obvious to you but here at Mac Kung Fu we're just not sure if this is a hoax. In the meantime, take a look for yourself.
This week I'm teaming up with
apple to test out the unreleased iPhone 7. An unbelievable 18.3 megapixels, an optional wide angle lens setting, brand new infrared sensor, and RGYB color monitor.

Here's what everyone is talking about at the water cooler today.
With MLB (Major League Baseball) Opening Day next week, it only seemed appropriate that model/actress Kate Upton and Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander share their stunning wedding photos from their off-season wedding in Italy. You might remember, they had to change their wedding date when Verlander was traded to the Astros and ended up going to the World Series. He ended up missing the team's victory parade for their rescheduled wedding. Judging by the gigantic smile on his face, he didn't seem to mind. PICS
Sideline stat
Was a piece of you missing? The bracket busting, college basketball tournament, March Madness, resumes tomorrow with the sweet 16. (The final 16 teams left in the tournament). What to watch out for? The first game features the battle of the underdogs. University of Nevada, Reno will take on Loyola Chicago. Loyola is backed by prayers from their unofficial mascot, 98-year-old Sister Jean.
Coaches' corner
What's the difference between NASCAR (National Association For Stock Car Auto Racing), IndyCars and F1 (Formula One) Racing? Two ways to sound like an expert:
- The winner of IndyCar and NASCAR races are determined by completing a number of laps. F1 races are done in two hours regardless of if the total number of laps have been completed. Postrace traffic jam not included.
- The cars are the notable difference. NASCAR cars are an enclosed sedan (like a normal car), where F1 and IndyCar's are an open cockpit, open wheel style. Unlike the other two, F1 teams are responsible for designing and building the car from the ground up but IndyCars go the fastest, topping off at speeds of 235 MPH. MORE ON THE CARS

Wrigley 100 September 27: Andre's Last At-Bat
On this day in 1987, Andre Dawson came to the plate for one last at-bat in an MVP season. With the crowd standing and begging for one more Wrigley Field home run, he delivered.
The story started in spring training when Dawson was a collusion casualty and looking for a place to play. He offered Dallas Green a blank check and the Cubs GM quickly accepted.
Rick Sutcliffe lobbied heavily for Dawson's addition and was thrilled with his new right fielder. "When he signed on, all of a sudden we had a chance to win. He was the MVP, I led the league in wins, and without him, I might not have won ten games that year."
A sixth-place finish wasn't the magical year Sutcliffe was hoping for, but Dawson was nothing less than incredible. Dallas Green and the Cubs received a handsome return on their $500,000 investment as Dawson finished with a staggering 49 home runs and 137 RBI. After finishing second twice in the MVP voting, Dawson won it in 1987, the first-ever winner from a last place team.
Dawson was an immediate favorite with the Wrigley faithful, especially the natives in the right field bleachers who applauded each of his home runs with what Harry Caray quickly dubbed "salaams." With the Cubs going nowhere, fans had little to cheer for except the new right fielder, whose booming bat and rifle arm virtually guaranteed a can't-miss highlight every game. On the last home game of the season, Dawson gave Cub fans one final thrill for the ages.
With two out in the bottom of the 8th, Dawson came to the plate for his last at-bat of the season at Wrigley Field. In the booth, Harry Caray echoed every Cub fan's thoughts when he wished aloud, "wouldn't it be great if he could do it one more time?" As the crowd stood as one and demanded a giant exclamation point on his MVP season, Dawson delivered with a rocket into the left field bleachers off Bill Dawley for his 47th round-tripper of the year.
"That's what you call pressure," laughed Dawson. "You know the fans want it and I had done it so often for them during the course of that year. You can't swing for a home run because you're going to overswing, you might just miss it, and if you get a good pitch to hit you might foul it off. My thinking was that I was going to work the count and get a pitch that I could drive. It happened to be against a pitcher who woke me up because he pretty much threw a pitch behind me earlier in the year and at that point, he couldn't get me out any more. I worked the count to 3-1, he threw me a 3-1 changeup and it just happened to be in the zone that I was looking in. I was able to get the bathead on it and hit it out of the ballpark."
Ryne Sandberg watched in admiration as Dawson pulled it off. "It was his last at-bat and the fans were on their feet and of course, they were wanting a home run. So for the guy to go up there and hit a ball like he did, he just crushed it to left field – way out. It was amazing. He was amazing that summer."
Cubs uber-fan Jeff Garlin was living in the neighborhood and counts Dawson's homer as his favorite Cubs memory. "There used to be a television-stereo store across the street, I forget the name of it, but I was in there. Last game of the season. Andre Dawson is at bat and I don't remember if it was the last at-bat, it may have been the last at-bat, Harry Caray said, I remember the exact quote, "it would be poetic justice if he could only hit one out. Now, why it would be poetic justice, we were in last place. I didn't understand that but I fell for it and Andre hit it out! He hit it out! I remember being in the store and I was screaming. Thank God it was in Chicago and nobody thought I was nuts, because they jumped in like 'what happened' 'Andre just hit it!' Poetic justice."

Hypnotherapy & NLP Sessions
We offer one to one hypnotherapy and NLP sessions helping to treat a wide range of emotional issues, such as anxiety, stress, phobia or addiction that are having a negative effect on your everyday life. For many people, medication is not a viable option so these sessions provide an alternative way to find relief from the symptoms.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy helps you to deeply relax and works with your subconscious mind to change your thought process or feelings towards a certain area in your life.
What is NLP?
NLP or 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming' is a way of understanding how and why people think, feel, speak and behave the way they do. NLP techniques support you in 're-programming' your thoughts or to think differently about certain situations and therefore achieve different results.
When hypnotherapy and NLP are used together and applied directly to your specific issues, you start to see and feel results in as little as 3 sessions.
Hypnotherapy and NLP are used most commonly to effectively treat the following areas:
- Anxiety and Panic Attacks
- Addictions (such as alcohol/drug abuse, Gambling, Internet)
- Depression
- Phobia's and Fears (such as public speaking or flying)
- Weight Loss
- Stopping Smoking
But can also be used to treat:
- Blushing
- Exam Nerves
- Stuttering
- Tinnitus
- Stress
- Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD)
- Low Self Esteem or Low Self Confidence
- Insomnia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Eating Disorders
What happens in a Hypnotherapy Session?
Most people find 2-3 sessions are enough to deal with their issue and to start to see positive changes, however, everyone is different so more or less sessions may be needed.
Your first session gives you the opportunity to talk about your specific issue and ask any questions you may have about hypnotherapy and the process. You are then helped into hypnosis whilst recording the session and, following this you listen to the recording at least once a day until your 2nd session.
The 2nd session is where the work is done! Using NLP we work with you to let go of the problem and focus on the positive outcomes you're looking for.
Subsequent sessions are not always necessary so any follow up sessions will be tailored to meet your needs.
Contact us today either by calling 07568-145-151 or by completing our contact form and make a positive step towards living the life you really want.

From the Climate Summit of Local and Regional Leaders 2017 in Bonn, Germany, we want to send a strong signal for climate action and are pleased to state our:
The City Climate Planner program raises the global talent base of city climate planning professionals through training and professional certifications that form the building blocks of local climate planning and policy development.
This new partnership brings together CDP and the carbonn Climate Registry, two of the leading climate reporting platforms in the world, in an effort to build a robust database of self-reported climate commitments, actions and performance tracking by public and private actors.
The Urban Leadership Council is a group of representatives from city networks, urban think tanks and the private sector aiming to build high-level political commitment to sustainable urban development in rapidly urbanizing countries and provide guidance to the Coalition for Urban Transitions, an initiative overseen by C40, the WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and the New Climate Economy.
ICLEI and the NDC Partnership are now working together to design, implement and align climate action strategies across all levels of governments.
CONNECT is an innovative methodology that was launched in 2017. It fast-tracks matchmaking between municipal and regional expertise needed in EU partner countries with the existing expertise in Europe's towns and regions. CONNECT carefully crafts and monitors outcomes of peer-to-peer exchanges and skills-based matches that focus on municipalities' key challenges such as climate action.
The Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA), a regional body of the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy, is, through its Political Commitment Document, opening the door for more Sub-Saharan cities to commit to the CoM SSA. Participation strengthens city capacity to expand access to sustainable and efficient energy services.
The African Subnational Climate Fund bridges the gap between high infrastructure demands and the low number of bankable projects reaching investors. The fund provides ready-to-invest projects and financing to support the implementation of at least 100 infrastructure projects by 2020.
Front-Line Cities and Islands is a coalition of coastal cities and islands on the front lines of the impact of climate change, working to build resilience coastal city-to-island partnerships, and designed to increase exposure to innovative resilience strategies and creative financing mechanisms.
Green People's Energy for Africa will improve access to reliable, climate-friendly energy and productive use through community-driven, decentralized renewable energy projects. Thereby it will accelerate the transformation and decarbonization of the African energy sector, empowering rural communities and local actors to participate in the energy system and supporting the development of effective national framework conditions.
The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy formally brings together the Covenant of Mayors and the Compact of Mayors to form the largest global coalition of over 7,400 cities from six continents and 121 countries advancing city-level transitions to low emission & climate resilient economies through voluntary action.
This initiative aims to mobilize African cities and regions to respond to climate changerelated challenges across the continent, by encouraging their commitments to collective action and through an exchange of good practices to advance implementation of the Paris Agreement.
By combining a friendly biannual competition, capacity building, technical support and public promotion, the One Planet City Challenge provides a way for cities to engage in long term reporting of their climate performance.
This network of 340 Canadian municipalities combines political commitments to act on climate change with capacity building support. New initiatives resulting from PCP include ICLEI Canada's Building Adaptive & Resilient Communities (BARC) program, and FCM's Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program (MCIP), which includes the Transition 2050 network and the Climate and Asset Management Network (CANM).
Planners for Climate Action helps ensure urban and regional planners can play a strong role in advancing global climate and sustainability goals. To this end, this initiative will improve urban and regional planning practice and planning education.
RegionsAdapt is the first global initiative for regional governments to take concrete action, cooperate and report efforts on climate adaptation, focusing on key priority areas such as water resource management, disaster risk reduction, agriculture and biodiversity.
SDG Indicators for Municipalities hones the Sustainable Development Goals to craft indicators for the municipal level in Germany, to ensure local governments align and track progress towards global targets.
The SuRe Standard is designed to strengthen sustainable and resilient infrastructure development by guiding project owners in accounting for social, environment and governance criteria, while enabling them to communicate benefits to potential investors.
Through TUMI, 11 acclaimed institutions offer technical and financial support for cities' efforts in emerging and developing countries to implement sustainable mobility projects and programs, thereby aiming to advance global climate action and provide better and more equitable transport access to urban inhabitants.
This initiative focuses on West Africa and advocates for fiscal decentralization and innovative financing strategies and mechanisms, while building the case for public and private investments by preparing a pipeline of sustainable local infrastructure projects and matching them with funding sources.
The Urban Transitions Alliance is a group of industrial and former industrial cities making a shift to become global leaders in sustainable urban development by defining shared challenges, co-creating locally relevant solutions and developing transition action plans.
as contributions to the current international discussions of UNFCCC COP23 and the global climate community.

Bg 4.2
imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ
sa kāleneha mahatā
yogo naṣṭaḥ paran-tapa
It is clearly stated that the Gītā was especially meant for the saintly kings because they were to execute its purpose in ruling over the citizens. Certainly Bhagavad-gītā was never meant for the demonic persons, who would dissipate its value for no one's benefit and would devise all types of interpretations according to personal whims. As soon as the original purpose was scattered by the motives of the unscrupulous commentators, there arose the need to reestablish the disciplic succession. Five thousand years ago it was detected by the Lord Himself that the disciplic succession was broken, and therefore He declared that the purpose of the Gītā appeared to be lost. In the same way, at the present moment also there are so many editions of the Gītā (especially in English), but almost all of them are not according to authorized disciplic succession. There are innumerable interpretations rendered by different mundane scholars, but almost all of them do not accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, although they make a good business on the words of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This spirit is demonic, because demons do not believe in God but simply enjoy the property of the Supreme. Since there is a great need of an edition of the Gītā in English, as it is received by the paramparā (disciplic succession) system, an attempt is made herewith to fulfill this great want. Bhagavad-gītā – accepted as it is – is a great boon to humanity; but if it is accepted as a treatise of philosophical speculations, it is simply a waste of time.

For the delight of Christmas shoppers hoping for a bargain in these times of crisis, Milan's city hall will auction off unclaimed objects from the Lost and Found counters on 26, 27 and 28 November, starting at 09.30 each day.
Items ranging from portable computers, jewelry, satellite navigators down to bathing trunks and sunglasses will go for a song at the Sivag auction rooms in via Milano 10, Redecesio di Segrate. Whether you are looking for a used baby stroller, 21 unused Chinese wigs, 10 Italian flags (with 15 flagpoles), a used outboard motor or an unused toilet flush tank, you will find them among the 626 lots going under the hammer.
Details of the auction, of the procedures and the fees to be paid can be found on the website of Sivag, the Milan Tribunal's institute for legal sales. Under the link "Dove siamo", the site also offers details on how to reach the auction rooms by car or public transport.

Decent start to the day - Many a mickle maks a muckle

Decent start to the day
My favourite web site in all the world, boringly enough, is probably BBC News. In just one relatively quick browse it has told me:
the RFU plan to revamp the organisation of the Rugby Union World Cup
only 17% of British men can name five world leaders and 13% of men can name British five cabinet members
a hard quiz about faces and events
Great Britons Top Trumps
interesting story about obese airline passengers
Let's take these one at a time.
Rugby Union World Cup.
The proposal is to split the cup into two sections - an upper tier with 16 nations and a lower tier with 32 nations. This is because rugby (technically rugby union) is not
much of a world sport and there are a number of (wholly unofficial) identifiable tiers into which nations' standards fall.
The top tier contains Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and in a good year England or France.
The second tier contains Western Samoa and the rest of the four home nations.
The third tier contains nations like Italy, Canada, Argentina, maybe Romania, probably Fiji and Papua New Guinea - the marginal Test Match nations. Possibly Fiji and PNG should be in the second tier.
The fourth tier contains those nations like the USA and Japan which do make it to the World Cup only to get punked by about 120-3 in the first round.
The fifth tier contains those nations which don't make it to the World Cup. There is quite an extensive and intricate qualification process to get to the world cup, especially in Europe. The weakest European teams (I think Norway is one of them?) would have had to play about twenty matches and win most of them to make it to the World Cup.
Sixteen is a good number because there are approximately sixteen countries in the top three tiers. (Perhaps there are only really four tiers, with the third tier being the one to be split between the tier above and the tier below.) By contrast, I don't think it's possible to identify a number of tiers in association football - or, if it is, then there is at least one tier that is very large indeed. Partly because of the low-scoring nature of the game, it's perfectly possible for a team considered relatively weak to draw with, or even upset, a team considered to be strong. Last week, we had England 2 Macedonia 2... ouch. I'd put England and Macedonia in the same tier, just with England towards the top of it and Macedonia towards the bottom. Of course, this is all highly approximate. If we knew which countries would beat which other countries in the first place then we wouldn't need to bother holding the World Cup at all.
Accordingly, I rather like the proposal of this split World Cup. It should be a far more interesting competition for the nations of the fourth and fifth tiers and should encourage their young rugby traditions. One would hope that this "second division" world cup would get a fair amount of attention, though not as much as the "first division" world cup. However, there is a point of view that every nation in the world should be eligible to participate in, and try to win, the World Cup. My solution is simple. We hold the two divisions of the World Cup some time apart: maybe a month, maybe three months, maybe a year. The "second division" World Cup goes first. The winners of the "second division" World Cup then go forward to the "first divison" World Cup and are guaranteed inclusion into the "first division" World Cup for the next three iterations. (Likewise, there might be some sort of relegation / re-election system to trim teams back down from the "first division" to the "second division".)
Another interesting issue in the formatting of the world cup is that 2003's competition has 20 teams, arranged not in five groups of four (as in 1999) but in four groups of five. I broadly approve of the group stages being longer so to guarantee each team more matches, plus the dynamics of a five-team all-play-all are generally rather more interesting than the dynamics of a four-team all-play-all. However, I have a suspicion that it just might make the group stages drag on a little bit too long for public taste. Lest we forget, rugby is a heavily contact sport and it's for good reason that teams need a good rest period between matches. The proposed two-groups-of-four eight-down-to-four second group stage might also be a group stage too far - compare with the hyper-extended UEFA Champions' League.
There is also, in European rugby, the existence of a competition called the "Six Nations", played between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (unified, for strange historical reasons), France and Italy. Until fairly recently it used to be the Five Nations, without Italy, who are clearly a step below the rest of them. In general, England are nearly always very good (though often not quite good enough), France are normally very good and exactly one of the other countries will be good in any one year. This might seem like saying that I'm just saying that whoever finishes in the top three is good and whoever doesn't isn't, but it's such a reliable guideline that the competition suffers a little as a result.
Therefore, every now and again, England make some overtures as to leaving the N Nations behind and going and playing the Southern Hemisphere nations instead, for more competitive matches. (Read: more money.) Perhaps it's just my British sporting traditions, but I am convinced that the natural destination for all sufficiently large sporting competitions is a World League of several divisions, with promotion and relegation between the various flights. I do emphasise the league nature of the competition, because the only major counter-example, tennis' Davis Cup, is really an unholy mess. Therefore what I would propose for rugby would be a world league of, say, three or four divisions, each with six teams, two up and two down from each division. This would mean that we would regularly get to see important matches between the best nations every year and that the smaller nations would be guaranteed competitive matches and have a realistic and achievable goal to aim for in order to raise their standing. On the downside, it might be quite expensive for the third (and fourth?) division teams to participate and perhaps there isn't that much interest in, say, Romania vs. Papua New Guinea after all. Perhaps it would be better for there to be two world divisions and then two parallel north/south (or possibly Pacific/non-Pacific) third divisions.
On an only-slightly-related matter, I wonder if there are any convincing reasons why it wouldn't be possible for the NFL to have one of their teams based in Europe? I'm not suggesting that NFL Europe should be integrated into the main NFL, simply because the standards are so very different. However, as NFL franchises can move around the USA so easily, I can't see why they couldn't move outside the USA to raise the profile of what remains essentially a one-nation sport.
Britain remains thick!
Name five world leaders. Go on, do it now! I was thinking about a related topic last night and couldn't bring the name of the Russian premier instantly to mind. Likewise, I find it difficult to remember who is the President of France, who is the Prime Minister and what the relationship is between them. Germany? Nope, couldn't remember who replaced Helmut Kohl. Italy? There's only one present-day Italian politician anybody knows; wait four years and he'll probably have been Italian
twice and jailed three times by then. Canada? Yes, but I might get confused with France. Japan? No. Brazil, India, China, Australia, Spain, Netherlands, the European Union, the United Nations, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So could I get to five world leaders? Probably, but only by a very liberal definition of world leader indeed - specifically, including dictators of dubious moral and ethical fibre, one of whom might possibly be dead. (Oh, or counting that famous world leader, the Irish Taoiseach.) Seems that I'm not the well-informed news junkie that I thought I was. H'm.
42% of Britons can't name a single cabinet minister, 87% can't name five. Also pretty disgusting. That said, the BBC then illustrated this fact with a montage in which people managed to recognise Kate Lawler, Big Brother winner, from her photo, while failing to recognise the Rt Hon Alan Milburn MP from his. This is pretty tricky; after all, it does matter a great deal what Kate Lawler looks like and it matters relatively little what she does, whereas the opposite applies to the Secretary of State for Health. As usual, the people backlash against
the article
immediately afterwards and some of the backlash is quite reasonable: there will have been bias in the expression of the questions and the situation probably wouldn't have been very different some time ago. Still, not good.
BBC's quiz
on this is interesting. Three political culture questions, three pop culture questions. I went 2/3 on each, making two reasoned-but-partially-lucky guesses (both on the political questions, alas) and one unlucky one. More to the point, how many of the people can
recognise? I went 2/9 on politicians (eeeep!) and 6/9 on pop culture figures. Once again, I say "h'm", only with more "m"s.
What can be done about it? Some say make the news more accessible, but I'm not convinced by this. If anything, the BBC news has gone a little far already. Some of their graphics are so pared-down as to be bordering on inaccurate. I don't like the trend to give newsreaders comedy lines, either, even on relatively fluffy matters such as sports coverage. "Wales 2, Italy 1. I'm going to say that again, just because I can. Wales 2, Italy 1." Not a terribly helpful development. Unfortunately, I don't have any particularly bright ideas in this regard, except to watch the rather more inconvenient, less authoritative Channel 4 News instead.
Great Britons.
The BBC broadcast their breakdown of the 100 greatest Britons last night and it was rather entertaining viewing. I vacillate between "The orderings were frequently so questionable that they can't have been assigned by honest public vote" and "The orderings were frequently so questionable that they can
have been assigned by honest public vote". Possibly the strangest positioning is Michael Crawford at 17, which deserves at least ?!? for punctuation. Oh, and the fact that Tolkein was placed 91st and Rowling 83rd cannot escape attention. (Let Mrs. R finish her epic fantasy first before we elevate her to greatness.) Nevertheless, we have a top ten who look tremendously strong. The final ten will be ordered by a single vote, rather than a series of vote-one-off-at-a-time balloon debates like every other show, which probably makes a nice change. Stereotypically enough, I voted for Newton; however, I just dearly hope that neither Princess Diana nor John Lennon win.
The BBC's
Trumps game
is surprisingly good fun. Happily, the game doesn't cheat, so you can implement what little strategy there is within Top Trumps. (Specifically, if your opponent has Sir Winston Churchill, rated 9-10-9-10, it's possible to Winston-track and beat him with your 10 to one of his 9s. You always have "control" of the game, getting to choose the operative category each time, so you tend to win very easily. Indeed, it might be more interesting to play the game misere and try to lose all your cards.) It's needlessly slow, but it works. Very cute!
Fat passengers.
There has recently been
a very interesting discussion
's LJ about the obese and their treatment on airlines. The BBC also bring us a story about
a small passenger crushed by a very large one for 11 hours
in which the small passenger suffered damage which last two years and which attracted 13 kGBP of compensation. Expect the issue to loom large in British airlines soon.
A side question presents itself: why do we not capitalise k, h and da much like we do to M, G, T and the other
SI prefixes with positive indices
? Compare this with the capitalisation of the K in KiB, the
, for instance.
My second favourite web site in all the world, inevitably, is this one - good ol' LiveJournal. I certainly spend more time at lj.com, but the reason why I prefer the BBC News site is that I don't attribute all lj.com's excellent content to the site, more to
all you lovely people
However, lj.com can still throw up some interesting surprises from time to time.
Did you know that you can use LiveJournal to
read syndicated RSS newsfeeds
? You are only allowed to do so to a limited extent - all the newsfeeds must be set up as their own accounts. Furthermore, there is a quota system in place to limit the amount of resources you can consume here. With a paid account, you are permitted five "units"; don't know what a permanent account or a free account get you. If you're the only person reading a newsfeed in this way, it costs you one unit. A newsfeed read by five people costs them half a unit each, one read by 25 people costs a third of a unit each, one read by 125 people costs a quarter of a unit each and so forth. The slashdot RSS is relatively close to being read by 625, so it still costs more than a fifth of a unit, but the price will go down.
I don't really understand RSS feeds. As far as I am aware, it's vaguely akin to a friends list except for abitrary frequently-updated web sites, rather than just being restricted to LiveJournal. I'm not sure whether one should try to read LiveJournals through a RSS reader, or whether to read RSS distributed newsfeeds through the LiveJournal friends page. Indeed, is the best approach to run a LiveJournal for your LiveJournal friends and a separate RSS reader for RSS newsfeeds? (Is there a point where there are sufficient good RSS newsfeeds where it becomes worthwhile to stop using LiveJournal for RSS feeds and starts to use a RSS reader?) Much as I reckon you probably need a good 3-6 friends whose LiveJournals you'd like to follow, or one Friends-only one, before it becomes worth your while to start a LiveJournal, I can think of only one RSS feed that I'd like to read for now. Doubtless there are very many other interesting ones which I haven't yet encountered; recommendations are most welcome.
The other recent surprise was discovering that well-known uber-geek
(as in Netscape, as in www.jwz.org and so forth) has a LiveJournal. The guy is intelligent and literate, so it comes as no suprise that his journal is extremely entertaining. I can do no better than parrot his penultimate link to a fantastic Salon article:
What happens when you dump two pounds of dry ice into an airplane chemical toilet?
and point out his link to
a dubious-looking wearable computer
. Look at it now before it most likely turns up on "Have I Got News For You?" this Friday, or something.
Budget airline alert: at last, no-frills airlines come to the north-east, not far from my prediction. Easyjet (check), Newcastle (check - but damn), Spring (check), 2003 (a year earlier than planned). Bonus! They are siting two planes there to begin with, expected to service three European cities, with two more planes coming in 2004. Next guessing game is "which European cities"; the logical guesses based on Easyjet's past patterns would be Amsterdam, Barcelona and Geneva, but I wouldn't be surprised by Nice instead of Geneva - or to see any of the old Go favourites get chosen.
I actually started this entry quite early in the afternoon. Damn, another less-than-productive day. :-/

Oh dear. The fat people will now be continuously discriminated against. Maybe it was the airline's fault for having such narrow seats. Over here in the States, some airline companies are talking about setting a "limit" to how much you weigh and such. If you weigh too much...well, basically you're screwed. This is Southwest Airlines, supposedly. Although, I *do* feel bad for poor guy that got injured for a period of two years!

Us Big People and those Big Numbers
You see, that just shows the difference between America and Great Britain. Your lawsuit was for a piddly £13,000; if us crazy Americans were in charge of it, it would have been $13,000,000. Granted, there is the exchange rate in there, but still... $21,000 is not much of a lawsuit.
I did complain a bit about the awful seats on my ride in the airplane being too small. Fact is, I'm only about 30 or 40 pounds above my ideal weight, and if I can't fit well, what does that say for people who are seriously seriously overweight?
A side question presents itself: why do we not capitalise k, h and da much like we do to M, G, T and the other SI prefixes with positive indices? Compare this with the capitalisation of the K in KiB, the kibibyte, for instance.
I imagine that the first six prefixes were k,h,da,d,c, and m. I imagine that they had to expand, but already had a lowercase m, so they capitalised it and every larger prefix. But that's just me specuating.

Oh dear oh dear
Very sad to see an intelligent chap like
indulging in such bigotry. The big people and travel seats issue is actually a very tricky and interesting one, touching as it does on the relationship between minorities and economics (source of many of the evils of the Western world). Shame on two counts, therefore, to turn it into just another excuse to rant at obese people with ill-researched 'facts' about their condition.
On the subject of "Britain Remains Thick" I would like to register my objection in the strongest terms to the implication that there is some connection between naming world leaders and the intelligence of the individual doing the naming (and not only because I got stuck at 4 myself !). The article should be renamed "World Leaders Remain Irrelevant To People's Lives" !

The APC South eastern leaders agreed to set up Buhari's campaign organisation in the zone, with Okorocha as the leader, while similar structures would be set up in the other four south eastern states.
The release partly read, "The Southeast APC leaders have resolved that they would not allow the fate that had befallen APC in the zone in 2015 to repeat itself in 2019."

Term 3 Week 4
So much to do. So little time to do it. I feel like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, running round with a giant clock and a worried expression on my face.
That being said I had a cracking week. Except I've just realised that one of those days was a bank holiday, and another day I was put into a class for a whole day, and on another half a day....so I've not actually been outside all that much this week.....yeeeaahhhh. Anyways, what happened?
Weeeelllll things are moving along quite nicely in Outdoor Learning. Slowly. But moving. We've got one class in Grasshoppers that's cleared an area for their own class allotment, and other in Maple that are working on theirs. Eventually we're hoping to have every class have some form of allotment going on...and then we'll start a "Farmers Market".....What else? The potato harvest is coming along nicely...alright its one grow bag currently BUT Elm planted some potato and onion seeds and the potato seeds especially have shot up, so we've added some more compost to that. Also, Elm planted some...petunias?....pansys?...anyways it was a flower beginning with "p", (I'll have to put up photos at some point - progress video soon to come, methinks), and they've come up nicely.
Now don't get it twisted, we've still a long way to go before anything substantial comes up BUT we've planted some things in our planters....SPEAKING OF WHICH! Hedgehogs! Remember them?!? Well they made a class planter didn't they? You do know, don't be daft, the class planter they made? We put pictures up and everything. Anyways they've started to use it and have planted lettuce and carrots. Yeh! Check that out. Anyways what was I saying?
Oh yeh, so we've planted things in our planter and I've not killed them off yet. Which reminds me about Owls. Becoming a floristry that lot, let me tell you. Came round yesterday asking could they have one of my hanging baskets (nearly typed basketball by accident - ever heard of a hanging basketball?) and compost and stuff and they're gonna put up hanging baskets in Outdoor Learning and get the children to water them and look after them and hopefully it'll attract more bees, butterflies and wasps and other pollinators.
Seeeee we do it all here, eh? Check it out. Started off with nothing but a grass field, two planters fully loaded with weeds and not much else and now....not much has changed, not much at all BUT, but, it's the thought that counts. So there you go.
But seriously, we're proud of our children and we hope that they'll pick up skills and learn things along the way and hopefully one day, be able to actually have a constant source of new and exciting fruits, veggies, flowers and DID YOU SEE THE CHICKENS YET? Sorry I know my brains going everywhere today and my secondary school English teacher is losing his nut over my grammatical errors (Mr. Stubbs if you read this - hello sir) but: HAVE YOU SEEN THE CHICKENS!?! Yeh they're not mine, but how cute eh? And, and, I learnt something new, that I didn't even know was a thing BUT when the chicks are born, after they've been hatched, they eat the shell! How about that! I KNOW!
So...whose left? Oh oh oh let me tell you about Deer Class. I had a cracking time with Deer class (can't think of a Deer related pun, I'm afraid) BUT I went out with three of them into the "tree line" and we just had a right laugh. One of them, dressed as a bear, got a little stuck in the long grass at one point but these guys are highlight of the week for me. Was lovely to be able to take them out and just see them engage and interact with their environment.
Oak came out and so did Poplar and used the Three Little Pigs as a theme from English to go searching for The Big Bad Wolf (Oak) and to make houses made of sticks (Poplar). Badgers were there in the background, doing "cause and effect" work by having the children search for hidden items and learning to distinguish between objects that have sound and those that don't and what they mean. Finally Beech class were mixing their communication targets with their searching for hidden items which went well, and there were some nice interactions going on as well.
So there we go. Two weeks till the end of half term. Hasn't the year flown by. Where does the time go? Anyways I shall see you soon. I'm needed elsewhere.

By Kebba Jeffang
The former vice-President of the Gambia, Madame Isatou Njie Saidy, speaking on behalf of the cabinet ministers of the previous government under Yahya Jammeh, assured the current government of their full cooperation to make the transition process possible.
She was speaking at a handing over ceremony on Wednesday, February 15, which was attended by President Adama Barrow and his cabinet at Kairaba Beach Hotel.
Madame Fatoumata Jallow Tambajang, the Vice President, described the handing over ceremony as a defining moment in the political history of the Gambia as this is the first time to have such a political transition. She said with the effort and commitment from the new government led by President Adama Barrow, a strong democratic governance foundation has been laid which is based on social cohesion and unity, adding that regardless of what situation, Gambians are the same people.
The VP said the exercise was initiated by the present government in consultation with the then outgoing government meant to ensure an orderly transfer of power from the outgoing Jammeh government to the current one under the leadership of President Barrow.
"And we have thought it necessary to have an independent institution to help us ensure facilitate the transfer of power so that it can be objective as possible and so that information can be shared and sharing of expertise between the two governments can be possible," said Madame Jallow Tambajang.
She added "Knowledge is a continuous process and there is no knowledge without reference. And we need the outgoing stakeholders to provide us with reference that is needed to ensure that we have the institutional capacity development to democratic governance and equality and prosperity for our people."
The former Vice President Njie Saidy congratulated the new government particularly President Adama Barrow for his assumption to power as well as for initiating the transition process. She said the outgoing government was directed by former president Jammeh before he left and that he gave all his support to ensure the success of Mr. Barrow.
"We are one country, one nation and one people after all if the Gambia works it works for all of us, if the Gambia succeeds it succeeds for all of us. But if there is retardation all of us will face it. We are one people irrespective of political affiliation; irrespective of our differences when you come to the Gambia we are one and the same. We should work in unison and to ensure the success of the Gambia," she said.
Ex-VP Njie Saidy added "the success of the Gambia is for all of us, not just for the government because we need the success of the entire Gambian people and our children and our children's children after all. We are doing it for our future generation is not for us. We don't have much to live in this world for sure I know, but we are doing it for next generation and that is why I can speak for my colleagues and say we will do whatever is within our means and capabilities to support this transition process."
She said even after this whoever is in need of their service among the new cabinet can consult them, as they are willing and open to give guidance and advice because it is all about institutional memory.
"It is not that the outgoing government is smarter or more intelligent that the present government; no, not that is because we have been doing it before. 22 years is not 22 days for sure a lot must have happened and we can share experiences which could be good or bad but is development. There must be trial and errors here and there but even challenges can be shared and we can learn from our challenges and failures just as much as we can learn from our successes and progress," she said.
The country's former number 2 said this is why they feel that the transition is very important. She thanked the international consultants as well.
"I have heard the CV read out and he surely has the capability and experience when it comes to transitions. Most African countries I think are facing just what we are facing in the Gambia right now. We never had this sort of transition where a government will hand over to another government. We've only have 3 governments after colonialism (the 1st republic, 2nd republic where it had never happened and here we are in the 3rd republic and that's why we are in a dilemma I presume both for the incoming and the outgoing government," she said.
"As I said better late than never, I want to take this opportunity on behalf of my colleagues to thank definitely the incoming government for staring this process right now. I know you are very busy, inauguration is around the corner, there is a lot of work to be done by ministers and there permanent secretaries and other technicians and you are expecting a lot of guests but because you see the importance of this transition and this transition team in particular that's why His Excellency launched it this morning and we thank him for given importance to this process," said former VP Isatou Njie Saidy.

Think that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be all about the "modern warfare" all the time? Think again.
It's somewhat of a truth self-evident these days: World War II games have been done to death. Storming the beach at Normandy is old hat; raising the flag on Iwo Jima is yawn-inducing. Almost every major FPS series is moving away from battling the Third Reich these days, whether moving into the realm of modern-day combat (Modern Warfare, Medal of Honor) or other historical campaigns (Treyarch's rumored Vietnam-era Call of Duty). EA Dice's upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is no exception, set squarely on the battlefields of the modern day ...
... or is it?
According to the ESRB explanation of the game's "M for Mature" rating, BFBC2 will actually start out during the Pacific Campaign of the Second World War before jumping through time to the modern day: "In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts, and snowy terrain."
One can't help but wonder if the WW2 missions will tie into the game's plot somehow, or if they're just there because Dice was all "Oh hey, we still like WW2, let's put something in there."
The ESRB explanation also contains this little tidbit about the game's M rating beyond the standard violence, swearing, etc. "There are also close-up depictions of knife-stabbing (flesh-impact sounds) and melee attacks with a power drill." Okay, I think I'm just about sold on the game now. Power drill melee combat? That's kind of awesome.
Still can't get the beta to work on my PC without swapping constantly between a psuedo-windowed mode and full-screen. Ah well, if the beta doesn't have the drill combat maybe it's for the best.

So before I went away on holiday I promised I would be putting the Maclaren Sunshade through its paces. Well, mission accomplished. The sunshade has accompanied us for over 4500 miles, been in 5 different countries, and successfully shaded my little girl through very long, very hot days.
In my opinion it's far better than a parasol because it becomes an extension of the hood and provides extra protection from the sun.
Made from water resistant fabric, the Maclaren Sunshade provides 99% UVA and UVB protection. Good times.
Yes, our pram came with a built in sunshade, but in places like Rome and Provence in full summer heat and brightness, it would have had to be pulled fully over her face and shoulders to be effective. This means she wouldn't have seen anything and her legs would have been exposed. This in turn means one hot and bothered toddler kicking off.
The Sunshade is designed to fit most umbrella-fold prams and all Maclaren buggies. Our pram is not a Maclaren but it was a perfect fit. My husband popped it out the bag (it honestly is easy to fold back up – unlike the many hours I've spent wrestling my pop-up tent!) and it took him a total of about 30 seconds to figure it out. Admittedly, I may have taken a smidge longer, but I took on the far more important role of review photographer.
The shape once it's out the bag very obviously lends itself to going one way over the top of your pram. There are two loops at the back that go over your handles, and two Velcro straps to fix it to the sides.
Done. Sorted. Bob's your uncle. In all honestly, I'd braced myself for something a lot more faffy but I was pleasantly surprised.
Most importantly, it did the job it was designed for. Grace had a perfect view of her continental new world, and stayed shaded. Happy Grace, happy Mummy.
Here we are modelling it in Lisbon. . . ah was it only last week? ***Turns head mournfully and watches the rain****
And here's the husband and buggy outside the big statuey thing that's very famous. MAN I'm so cultured. Big innit?!
So a big thumbs up to Maclaren. Holidays are always hard work with a little one and exposure to sun a constant worry. I wouldn't be without this product now in the hot weather. (Can't see that we'll be using it any time soon now we're back in Bolton though.)
The Maclaren Sunshade is available from Mothercare and independent nursery stores with an RRP of around £25.
