our history
Oldest Operating Theatre in MN
This brief history is derived from Thomas Arneson's historic work on the Fairmont Opera House entitled "…And the Curtain Rises," first printed in 1988. Complete copies of his publication can be acquired by contacting the Fairmont Opera House.
The conception of this historic theater began in 1899 when Frank A. Day, editor of the Fairmont Sentinel, began prodding local businessmen to build an opera house. The concept came to fruition when prominent local businessmen formed the Fairmont Opera House Company in March of 1901 and began construction of this building in1901 for approximately $20,000. From its beginning, the Fairmont Opera House has survived on the generosity of this community. In 1902, the Opera House opened to the public free from debt due to the generous support of local businesses. On the opening night, 400 tickets were sold for $5 each to a performance of "The Chaperones" (Quite expensive when you consider that a night at the Bulland House Hotel just down the street only charged $2 a day).
Early 1900s
In all actuality, opera has very rarely been performed in the Fairmont Opera House. The use of the word "opera" in the name was, in the early 1900s, more politically correct than a theater or variety hall, which were deemed morally corrupt. During this part of our American heritage, opera was a product of high civilization and a respectable form of entertainment. Thus, the name preserved the moral standing of this theatrical house, even though the entertainment inside these walls was the same as in any variety hall or theater of the age. It is for the preservation of our history that the present name of this theater is the Fairmont Opera House.
From 1902 through 1912, this building was the one and only Fairmont Opera House. Its massive horseshoe balcony curving from stage edge to stage edge, decorative walls, and tinted electric lighting were a source of community pride. In these pre-movie and television days, the Opera House frequently presented professional plays and musicals by visiting repertory groups, traveling road shows, along with home produced talent productions, school commencements, and political speeches.
For five cents in 1912, our community had the chance to see a silent movie on the big screen at the plush Haynic. A five- piece "Haynic Orchestra" played at every movie, every night but Sundays. In conjunction with silent movies, live shows continued to be performed on our stage throughout the 1920s. However, by 1925 the novelty of the silent movies had faded, and Hay and Nicholas went back to the Opera Houses' roots and introduced more and more live performances. These live performances came to town through repertory companies playing one week engagements with different plays every night.
In 1912, the Opera House took on a different formal name, the Haynic Theater, derived from the combination of the names of the buildings managers, Lincoln Nicholas and William Hay. During this era of American history, the motion picture was rapidly growing as the newest form of entertainment.
By 1927, Mr. Hay was no longer a part of the center stage of this theater. Only Nicholas remained, Under Nicholas' leadership, the name was changed to the Nicholas Theater and substantial remodeling to match the flashy era was undertaken. The four dramatic pillars standing in front of the theater were removed and replaced by a blazing canopy entitled "Nicholas"; the front windows were bricked over to permit the new ventilation system to work properly; a new 1,000 pipe organ was installed; and the weight of a newly remodeled balcony was balanced against the new canopy, both resting on a single 60 foot, 36,000 pound steel beam passing through the front wall of the theater.
This 36,000 pound beam, which took 4 days to roll from the railroad depot to the Opera House, still holds the balcony today. Soon after these dramatic changes were completed, on the national level, "talkies" arrived, and movies were all the rage again. The Nicholas Theatre, not to be left behind a trend, installed vita phone and movie tour theater equipment for $12,000. On July 4, 1929 the first "talkie" in Fairmont opened and the theater was filled continuously for 11 hours. Movies were suddenly back in style at the Opera House.
After the war and through the 1950s, our theater bristled with activity. The main draw of patrons through the doors of the Nicholas were the big production movies Hollywood was creating. The movie business was so good, the lines for a movie were often a block long. But by the end of the 1950's, as the Opera House aged and newer movie houses were built in Fairmont, business declined. As business declined, the building declined further into disrepair. The slow decline continued until September of 1980 when the doors were finally chained shut.
Just when this historic building was on its last leg in 1980, conscientious members of our community took action to preserve this irreplaceable part of Fairmont's history led by Dr. Robert and Mary Arneson. In 1980, the building was placed on the National Register of Historical Places, and by late 1980, a purchase of the building by the Fairmont Opera House Inc. was made by $51,000. On May 13, 1981, the Opera House opened its doors once again with "Another Opening, Another Show".
Extensive efforts were made to refurbish and recondition the Opera House to its current state. Donations were made by members of our community to renovate the downstairs basement, all of the seats, all of the electrical and plumbing, and just about every other aspect of this theater. As of July 30, 1988, 1,602 people volunteered 26,000 hours to the Opera House. We have since lost track of our community's vast efforts. While dramatic progress has been made, renovations continue today, based upon your membership and charity.
Today, the Fairmont Opera House is proud to present season after successful season of live performances. This historic theater is being used for local and professional plays, live music and arts performances, local events, and private receptions and gatherings.
It is with the greatest of pride that so many volunteers put in their time, money and efforts to bring a variety of artistic and community events to Fairmont and the surrounding communities. We hope you come and visit us soon. And as you sit back to enjoy a show, we encourage you to absorb the historic environment and remember the history that brought us here today.

Statement on Libya
Following the Working lunch of NATO Ministers of Defence with non-NATO Contributors to Operation Unified Protector
Today, we the Defence Ministers of Allies and operational partners in the NATO-led operation Unified Protector met to take stock of the situation in Libya and to reaffirm our commitment to support the enforcement of UNSC Resolutions 1970 and 1973. These provide a clear mandate to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack, and to enforce the no-fly zone and arms embargo.
Our operation reinforces international community objectives, as set out by the Contact Group on Libya, to bring about a speedy resolution to the crisis, to put an end to the violence, and to allow the Libyan people to freely determine their own future. Our operation continues to enjoy strong regional support and to benefit from invaluable contributions from non-NATO partners.
We are fulfilling our mandate. We have made significant and steady progress and saved countless lives as a result. By maintaining a high operational tempo and carrying out precision strikes against legitimate military targets, we have seriously degraded the ability of the Qadhafi regime to attack civilians and relieved the pressure on civilian populated areas such as Misratah. Our operations are being conducted with the utmost care to avoid civilian casualties.
We condemn the continued attacks by the Libyan regime against its own population and its refusal to comply with international community demands as laid out in UNSC Resolutions 1970 and 1973. We have intensified our efforts, including through the deployment of additional fixed and rotary wing strike aircraft, and are determined to continue our operation to protect the Libyan people for as long as necessary. We have therefore extended Operation Unified Protector for a further 90 days from 27 June. We are committed to providing the necessary means and maximum operational flexibility within our mandate to sustain these efforts and welcome additional contributions to our common efforts. We strongly reaffirm the goals laid out by our Foreign Ministers in Berlin on 14 April that the Libyan regime must cease attacks on civilians; verifiably withdraw all its forces to bases; and allow immediate, full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.
We have a clear UN mandate and the means and determination to see it through. We are confident that the right combination of military, political, and economic pressure will help bring an end to attacks on civilians and set the conditions for the Libyan people to determine their own future. We commend the efforts undertaken by the United Nations, through the UNSG's Special Envoy, the Contact Group and relevant regional organizations, and others to achieve a credible and sustainable political solution. We look forward to the results of the Contact Group meeting in Abu Dhabi tomorrow in support of broader international efforts to end the crisis.
We will continue to coordinate with other key organisations, including the United Nations, the European Union, the League of Arab States and the African Union, and to consult with others such as the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, and we encourage these organisations' efforts in the immediate and longer term post-conflict period. Once the goals laid out in Berlin have been achieved, NATO stands ready to play a role, if requested and if necessary, in support of post-conflict efforts that should be initiated by the United Nations and the Contact Group on Libya.
Time is working against Qadhafi who has clearly lost all legitimacy and therefore needs to step down. There is no future for a regime that has systematically threatened and attacked its own population. The Libyan people deserve to decide their own future within a sovereign, independent and united Libya.

Hacking the human brain: researchers demonstrate extraction of sensitive data via brain-computer interface
As hard as it is to believe, what many might think is the last bastion of total privacy, namely, the human mind, is quickly becoming just as vulnerable as the rest of our lives with the invention of mind-reading helmets and other ways to "hack" the mind
Now security researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Oxford and the University of Geneva, have created a custom program to interface with brain-computer interface (BCI) devices and steal personal information from unsuspecting victims.
The researchers targeted consumer-grade BCI devices due to the fact that they are quickly gaining popularity in a wide variety of applications including hands-free computer interfacing, video games and biometric feedback programs.
Furthermore, there are now application marketplaces – similar to the ones popularized by Apple and the Android platform – which rely on an API to collect data from the BCI device.
Unfortunately with all new technology comes new risks and until now, "The security risks involved in using consumer-grade BCI devices have never been studied and the impact of malicious software with access to the device is unexplored," according to a press release.
The individuals involved with this project – which resulted in a research paper entitled "On the Feasibility of Side-Channel Attacks with Brain-Computer Interfaces," include Ivan Martinovic and Tomas Ros of the Universities of Oxford and Geneva, respectively, along with Doug Davies, Mario Frank, Daniele Perito, and Dawn Song, all of the University of California, Berkeley. The findings of these innovative researchers are nothing short of disturbing. They found "that this upcoming technology could be turned against users to reveal their private and secret information."
Indeed, they used relatively cheap BCI devices based on electroencephalography (EEG) in order to demonstrate the feasibility of surprisingly simple and effective attacks. The information that can be gained by the attacks is incredibly sensitive, including, "bank cards, PIN numbers, area of living, the knowledge of the known persons." Most troubling is the fact that this represents "the first attempt to study the security implications of consumer-grade BCI devices," which makes the success of the attacks that much more disconcerting.
The researchers tested out their proprietary program on 28 different participants who, while they were obviously aware that they were cooperating in a study, were not aware that they were being "brain-hacked," as it were. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your perspective, the researchers found "that the entropy of the private information is decreased on the average by approximately 15% – 40% compared to random guessing attacks."
Or as Sebastian Anthony put it in writing for ExtremeTech, "in general the experiments had a 10 to 40% chance of success of obtaining useful information."
The researchers leveraged a distinctive EEG signal pattern known as the P300 response. This brainwave pattern typically occurs when the subject recognizes something such as a friend's face or a tool necessary to complete a given task. Using the knowledge of the P300 response, the researchers created a program which utilizes a technique which those who are familiar with typical hacking might call a "brute force" method.
However, this method is only loosely comparable to the traditional brute force methods since we're talking about using a brute force attack on the human mind. The researchers did this by flashing pictures of maps, banks, PINs, etc. while monitoring the subject for any P300 responses. After they had collected enough data from the subject, they were able to easily compare the captured information in order to see when a P300 response was triggered by a certain image.
Thus, this allowed the researchers to discover with surprising accuracy which bank the subject uses, where they live, and other information which could potentially be highly sensitive. The key to capturing this information seems to be making the subject remain unaware of the fact that they are being attacked either through specially formulated "games" designed to steal personal information from the mind of the target or through a false sense of security engendered by social engineering techniques.
Personally, I find it quite troubling that people could have their personal information stolen simply by playing what they think is a normal game controlled by a BCI device when in reality it is a carefully engineered piece of software designed to pull private data from the target's mind.
As Anthony correctly points out, "Moving forward, this brain hack can only improve in efficacy as BCIs become cheaper, more accurate, and thus more extensively used." However, Anthony incorrectly states, "Really, your only defense is to not think about the topic," when in reality the P300 response can occur without consciously "thinking" about the topic.
The response can occur when a picture of a familiar face or location shows up, even if the individual isn't thinking about the familiar person or the location. While someone could theoretically be on the defensive in an attempt to minimize their responses, the entire methodology of the hacker depends on avoiding detection to begin with. Therefore, if the target is already consciously on the defensive, the hacker has failed in their task of remaining in the shadows and carrying out the attack without the knowledge of the target. That being said, if programs are created in a clever enough manner, I seriously doubt that most people would be able to tell that they're being actively attacked in order to obtain their most private and sensitive information.

Who Pays for the First Lady's Fabulous Fashions?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Michelle Obama's fashionable clothing has become something of a given in her five-plus years as first lady. Yet her wardrobe still is the subject of endless public fascination and one long-simmering question: Who pays for those incredible outfits?
It's no small matter. Her high-low fashion choices mix everyday, off-the-rack fare with custom creations from top designers whose gowns can run into five figures.
In recent weeks, Mrs. Obama has turned heads with a forest-green Naeem Khan dress at the opening of a new costume gallery at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She shimmered in a silver Marchesa gown at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. And her flowered shirtdress for a Mother's Day tea at the White House (recycled from an earlier event) hit the just right note for an audience of military moms.
It takes money to pull that off, month after month. Those three dresses by themselves could add up to more than $15,000 retail, not to mention accessories such as shoes and jewelry.
Is it the taxpayers who foot the bill? No. (Despite what critics say.)
Is it Mrs. Obama? Usually, but not always.
Does she pay full price? Not likely.
Does she ever borrow gowns from designers? No.
The financing of the first lady's wardrobe is something that the Obama White House is loath to discuss. It's a subject that has bedeviled presidents and their wives for centuries. First ladies are expected to dress well, but the job doesn't come with a clothing allowance or a salary.
Mary Todd Lincoln racked up tens of thousands of dollars in clothing bills and considered selling manure from the White House grounds to pay them off, according to the National First Ladies' Library. Jacqueline Kennedy's father-in-law stepped in to finance her Oleg Cassini wardrobe to keep clothes from becoming a political liability for President John Kennedy. Nancy Reagan got grief for borrowing designer gowns and not always returning them or reporting them as gifts.
Laura Bush, in her memoir, said she was "amazed by the sheer number of designer clothes that I was expected to buy" as first lady.
How does Mrs. Obama, a fashion icon with far more expensive tastes than Mrs. Bush, swing it?
For starters, the Obamas reported adjusted income of $481,000 last year, and assets worth $1.8 million to $7 million.
And like most people, Mrs. Obama (mostly her personal aide, really) looks for discounts.
And, for really big events, the first lady has an option not available to every fashionista.
Here's how Joanna Rosholm, press secretary to the first lady, explains it:
"Mrs. Obama pays for her clothing. For official events of public or historic significance, such as a state visit, the first lady's clothes may be given as a gift by a designer and accepted on behalf of the U.S. government. They are then stored by the National Archives."
That saves Mrs. Obama considerable money, although the White House refused to say how often the first lady wears donated clothes and the National Archives declined to say how many such items it has in storage. The White House did say that the first lady doesn't borrow any clothing and, for the most part, buys her own clothes.
The clothing donated by designers includes Mrs. Obama's two inaugural gowns made by Jason Wu, a lesser-known designer before Mrs. Obama turned him into a star in the fashion firmament. Wu declined to discuss how he works with the first lady.
Mrs. Obama and Wu both were there when the first inaugural gown was presented to the Smithsonian in March 2010. The first lady said in her remarks: "The dress I donated today, made by Jason Wu, is a masterpiece." But the Smithsonian lists the gown as a "gift of Jason Wu in honor of first lady" Michelle Obama, making clear it came from him. The first lady's office had no comment on that.
Two other examples of gowns worn by the first lady that were donated by designers: the blue Carolina Herrera gown that Mrs. Obama wore to February `s state dinner for French President Francois Hollande and the gold beaded Naeem Khan gown that Mrs. Obama wore to the 2012 governors ball, now on display at the American Museum of Natural History. Herrera and Khan declined comment.
The first lady's office had no comment on whether the couture gowns worn by Mrs. Obama for her six other White House state dinners also were donated. Nor would it say how many gowns have been donated for the array of other big events for which the first lady is expected to appear in couture finery, such as the annual Kennedy Center Honors ceremonies, governors' dinners and White House correspondents' dinners.
Wearing donated gowns represents a change in practice from the Bush administration.
Anita McBride, chief of staff to Laura Bush during her time as first lady, said Mrs. Bush paid for all her clothes, including her two inaugural gowns: a red crystal-embroidered gown by Texan Michael Faircloth and a silver and blue V-neck creation of Oscar de la Renta.
McBride credits the Obama White House with finding a cost-saving way to "keep Mrs. Obama in all those incredible clothes and to have the use of them not once but multiple times."
The costs of a custom couture gown can be phenomenal, particularly if it is highly embellished with something like beading.
New Yorker Sarah Phillips, who designed Hillary Rodham Clinton's 1993 inaugural gown, puts the full cost of that violet beaded lace sheath in the range of $50,000, with the Presidential Inaugural Committee paying $10,000 and Phillips and the workshop covering the bulk of the costs. Phillips isn't sure whether Clinton herself paid anything toward the dress, but the Smithsonian's website describes the gown as a "gift of Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Presidential Inaugural Committee."
Lawyers who served in the Obama and Bush White Houses describe taking care in working with the first lady's office to ensure that arrangements with designers didn't run afoul of ethics rules designed to guard against conflicts of interest and questionable quid pro quos.
Beyond the unknowns about how often Mrs. Obama's clothes are donated, there are questions about how much she pays for those she purchases.
In a 2011 Washington Post story about Mrs. Obama's personal assistant, Meredith Koop, the first lady's office said Koop acted on Mrs. Obama's behalf "in arranging for purchases, including considering the best offered price and buying on discount if discounts are available."
That's still true today, the first lady's office says, without elaborating.
Several designers who have provided clothes for the first lady declined to discuss their arrangements. But given the prestige that comes with dressing Mrs. Obama, it's widely thought that designers are eager to cut the first lady a break. Former White House lawyers said any discounts provided to the first lady would have to be in line with what designers offer other top customers to avoid being considered gifts.
Paco Underhill, author of "What Women Want: The Science of Female Shopping," said the markups on designer clothes are "astronomical" - and the discounts can be steep as well.
"Some of the routine discounts that people ask for are 40 percent off," he said. "Whether they get it is subject to somebody's discretion."
First ladies have tried all sorts of tactics to hold down their clothing costs, including keeping some dresses in rotation.
Mrs. Obama wore the same dress to this year's Mother's Day tea that she'd worn to lunch with Katy Perry in October 2012. She often switches around separates, belts and other accessories to give clothes in her wardrobe a fresh look.
Recycling carries its own risks.
Mrs. Bush, in her memoir, tells of arriving at a TV studio and noticing a picture on the wall that showed she'd worn the same suit to her last interview there.
"Quickly, I exchanged tops with my press secretary, so that it would seem as if I had more wardrobe variety," she recalled.

As expected, the weeklies are still going hard on Tom & Katie this week. PEOPLE's story is relatively tame, especially compared to Us Weekly. I've just had a look at the Us Weekly pages and, as you can see from the cover, where PEOPLE has so far avoided the Nicole angle, Us is bringing Kidman into the conversation.
Apparently Katie and Nicole have been exchanging secret phone calls with Holmes's predecessor passing on her support. Well that's rather opportunistic of her, non? Now that public opinion is firmly in Katie's favour, it would be advantageous for Nicole to get in there and see if she can capitalise. After all, Katie is doing what Nicole did not have the courage to do: she fought for her child, she took on the Church. Many of you have pointed out that Nicole had more challenges ten years ago. That her position was much weaker, more vulnerable. True. But don't discount motivation either. Nicole had other aspirations. She also had resources. Rupert Murdoch, her bff, has demonstrated that he's rather eager to go anti-Scientology when given the go-ahead. And it's not like Rupert Murdoch wasn't a powerful billionaire at the time of Nicole and Tom's divorce.
A more interesting detail in the Us Weekly article is what Katie's trigger was. As I first reported last week - click here for the reference article - Katie went to China for that figure skating event and returned home to find that Tom had left Suri in the care of some Scientology strangers. Us Weekly is going a step further - their sources claim that those Scientology strangers, with Tom's blessing, had actually started auditing Suri, and that Katie noticed that her daughter's behaviour was beginning to change.
According to the magazine, Katie still loves Tom, but Suri's wellbeing was ultimately more important to her.
Goddamn but that is GOOD, isn't it?
She's broken-hearted too! But she has sacrificed her own heart for the life of her child! How selfless! How brave!
Next: the popular Katie Holmes. How Katie is benefitting from all this great publicity.

Off Campus Opportunities
Chez Vous Summer
Chez Vous is a relational language study program of the Jacques Lefevre Institute in Normandy, France. This experience connects students with French people, culture, history, faith and daily life.
Two semester courses are taught in modular format. These condensed courses require diligent work, but French studies become more meaningful when they are connected directly to daily life, activities, and culture.
Institut Mediterranéen de Langues et Services (IMLS)
The IMLS offers a French program that features studies in language and civilization. Students are immersed into the life of the university and the local community.
This program takes a different approach to education in contrast to traditional study abroad programs. Students can get involved as a volunteer in the community to develop values and skills outside the classroom.
International Studies Abroad (ISA) by Worldstrides
ISA by Worldstrides is an overseas program with 13 destination countries that encompass 26 distinct and exciting cities.
ISA offers a wide variety of study abroad programs at accredited schools and universities in the following countries:
- Argentina
- Belgium
- Chile
- Costa Rica
- Czech Republic
- Dominican Republic
- England
- France
- Italy
- Mexico
- Morocco
- Peru
- Spain
This program provides students with a study abroad experience that is academically challenging and culturally rewarding.
Israel Study Program
Evangel students have the unique opportunity to study in the land of the Bible. Nearly every two years, 2- to 4-week study trips (length varies from year to year) are taken to Israel, Egypt, and Jordan to study the Scriptures in their original contexts.
Led by Theology Department faculty, these experiences help students develop lifelong tools to better understand the message of the Bible. Students have the option of earning three semester hours of credit through the Department of Theology.
Jerusalem University College
Evangel University is associated with the Jerusalem University College, an institution offering specialized instruction in historical geography, archaeology, biblical and Semitic languages, and the history of the Holy Land.
This program offers students the opportunity to study the Christian Scriptures in the context of the land where the events occurred as well as the languages, social and political culture, religions and historical relationships of the Middle East.
Culture-Shaping Programs
American Studies Program (ASP)
Founded in 1976, the American Studies Program uses Washington, D.C., as a stimulating educational laboratory where students gain hands-on experience with internships tailored to fit their talents and aspirations.
Participants also explore pressing national and international issues in public policy seminars led by ASP faculty and Washington professionals.
Students select either a Public Affairs or Marketplace track. Both tracks examine the same public issues and culminate in field projects assessing those issues in light of biblical principles and Christian responsibility. Students in the Public Affairs track use policy concepts to evaluate contending approaches. Students in the Marketplace track analyze issues by assessing how business and commercial environments shape different perspectives.
The aim of the program is to help CCCU schools prepare students to live in contemporary society as followers of Christ.
Contemporary Music Center (CMC)
The Contemporary Music Center provides the opportunity to live and work in the refining context of community while seeking to understand how to integrate music, faith, and business.
The CMC offers two tracks (courses of study):
Artist track
- The Artist track is tailored to students considering careers as:
- Vocalists
- Musicians
- Songwriters
- Recording artists
- Performers
- Producers
- Recording engineers
Executive track
- The Executive track is designed for students with majors in business, arts management, marketing, communications, and related programs. This track is for students interested in possible careers as:
- Artist managers
- Agents
- Record company executives
- Music publishers
- Concert promoters
- Entertainment industry entrepreneurs
Students in both tracks receive instruction, experience, and a uniquely Christ-centered perspective on creativity and the marketplace — all while working together to create and market a recording of original music. Both the Artist and Executive tracks include coursework, labs, directed study, and a practicum.
Los Angeles Film Studies Center (LAFSC)
Founded in 1991, the Los Angeles Film Studies Center is designed to train students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with both professional skill and Christian integrity.
The curriculum consists of two required seminars:
- Hollywood Production Workshop
- Theology in Hollywood
These courses focus on the role of film in culture and the relationship of faith to work in this influential industry. In addition, students choose one elective course from a variety of offerings in film studies.
Internships in various segments of the film industry provide students with hands-on experience. The combination of the internship and seminars allows students to explore the film industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.
Washington Journalism Center (WJC)
The Washington Journalism Center is a semester-long study program in Washington, D.C., created for students interested in the field of journalism. While in Washington, students take classes focusing on their personal writing skills and on the history and future of the media.
Students learn to integrate their faith in a journalism career by combining their internship at a top news publication with the following classes:
- Foundations for Media Involvement
- Reporting in Washington
- Washington, News, and Public Discourse
Students also participate in service learning opportunities and live with families in homestays as part of the WJC experience.
Culture-Crossing Programs
Australia Studies Centre (ASC)
Since 2004, the CCCU has partnered with the Wesley Institute in Sydney, Australia, to offer learning opportunities through the Australian Studies Centre. During the semester, students study theology, global justice issues affecting Australia, Indigenous cultures, and the arts.
Every student is required to take these courses: The View from Australia: Issues in Religion, Politics, Economics, & Cultural Values Indigenous History, Culture, & Identity.
Additionally, students choose from electives in theology/ministry, music, drawing/graphic design, or drama.
Home stays, service learning, and travel around Australia are important components of the ASC. Students observe Australia's beautiful landscape, live in the cosmopolitan melting pot of Sydney, serve the poor of Sydney's multi-cultural ghettos, and engage the political capital, Canberra, and its power players.
Students also learn the traditions of Aboriginal people during an Outback excursion and spend the last week of each semester traveling to New Zealand to meet with Maori people.
China Studies Program (CSP)
The China Studies Program enables students to engage China's ancient history and intrigue from an insider's perspective. While being immersed in Chinese culture, students participate in seminar courses on the historical, cultural, religious, geographic, and economic realities of this strategic and populous nation.
Students choose between completing a broad Chinese Studies concentration or a business concentration including an internship in an international business in China. Students will also study standard Chinese language and apply their skills by serving in an orphanage or tutoring Chinese students in English.
The program introduces students to the diversity of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and Xiamen.
This interdisciplinary, cross-cultural program enables students to communicate and understand the unique culture and people of China.
Latin American Studies Program (LASP)
Based in San Jose, Costa Rica, the Latin American Studies Program introduces students to a wide range of experiences through the study of the language, literature, culture, politics, history, economics, ecology, and religion of the region.
Through service learning and living with local families, students become a part of the day-to-day lives of Latin Americans.
Students also take part in a service opportunity and travel for three weeks to nearby Central American nations.
Students participate in one of four concentrations:
- Latin American Studies (offered both fall and spring terms)
- Advanced Language and Literature (designed for Spanish majors and offered both fall and spring terms)
- International Business: Management and Marketing (offered only in fall terms)
- Environmental Science (offered only during spring terms)
Depending on their concentration, students travel to nearby Central American nations including Nicaragua, Guatemala, Cuba, and Panama.
Middle East Studies Program (MESP)
Based in Cairo, Egypt, the Middle East Studies Program offers students a unique opportunity to explore and interact with the complex and strategic world of the modern Middle East.
Students explore diverse religious, social, cultural, and political traditions of Middle Eastern peoples through interdisciplinary seminars.
Students also study the Arabic language and work as volunteers with various organizations in Cairo.
Through travel in the region (typically Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, and Turkey), students are exposed to the diversity and dynamism of the region.
Programs in Oxford
The Scholars' Semester in Oxford (SSO)
The Scholar's Semester in Oxford is designed for students interested in completing intensive scholarship.
Working with academic tutors, students advance their academic writing and research skills and explore the disciplines and interests of their choice. As visiting students of the University of Oxford, students have the privilege to study and learn in one of the university's historic halls. The SSO is designed for students interested in the fields of classics, English and literature, theology and religious studies, philosophy, and history, though all majors may apply.
Applicants are generally very high-achieving students and must have a 3.5 GPA to be considered for the program.
Oxford Summer Program (OSP)
The Oxford Summer Program is designed for students wishing to gain a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Christianity and the development of the West.
Students are given the opportunity to learn under expert Oxford academics in the areas of history, religious studies, political theory, philosophy, English, and history of science.
The program is structured for rising college sophomores, juniors, and seniors, graduate, and seminary students, non-traditional students, teachers, and those enrolled in continuing education programs. The OSP is a cooperative effort of the CCCU and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.
Russian Studies Program (RSP)
The Russian Studies Program exposes students to the depth and diversity of Russian culture through encounters with the Federation's three largest cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Nizhni Novgorod.
Students are offered three seminar courses:
- History and Sociology of Religion in Russia
- Russian Peoples, Culture, and Literature
- Russia in Transition
Students receive instruction in the Russian language, choosing either four or six semester hours of language coursework. For those choosing four hours of Russian, a seminar course, International Relations and Business in Russia, is available.
The majority of the semester is spent in Nizhni Novgorod, where students complete intensive language instruction, participate in service learning, and live with a Russian family.
Additionally, students study in Moscow, the heart of both medieval and modern Russia, and the intriguing city of St. Petersburg, the Russian "window to the West."
Uganda Studies Program (USP)
Winston Churchill is credited with nicknaming Uganda the "Pearl of Africa." The USP offers students a very personal encounter with many cultures and people of East Africa. Uganda Christian University (UCU) serves as the base of study for students in the USP.
Set on the outskirts of the capital city Kampala, this rapidly growing institution brings USP students together with the UCU Honours College.
Courses taught by local faculty in the British tutorial tradition will immerse students in a uniquely African education. Topics such as Christianity and Islam in Contemporary Africa, African Literature, and East African History will present many insights into African life because of the guidance of faculty who live in and love Uganda and East Africa.
Homestays, travel, service learning, and daily interaction with Honours College students form the backbone of the USP experience. Students select between the Uganda Studies Emphasis and the Intercultural Ministry and Missions Emphasis (IMME). IMME students live in semester-long homestays and explore the role of missionaries and development workers from an in-depth perspective.
Uganda Studies students explore changing Africa from a variety of perspectives.

As medical care and treatments advance, health care costs increase. Health insurance helps you pay for care and protects you and your family financially in the event of an unexpected serious illness or injury that could be very expensive. In addition, you can get routine and preventive care if you have health insurance.
We also believe that finding the right health insurance may get you better health care. Research indicates that people with health insurance are more likely to have a regular doctor and to get care when they need it.
Understanding health insurance plans can be confusing and most consumers don't know where to look or whom to contact for information. We are offering this site to help you, as a consumer, understand and purchase a health insurance plan that fulfill your requirements
Choosing your health plan isn't only about getting the right coverage — it's also about finding the right coverage at the right price. Here are some tips to help you choose the right coverage at the right price
The sooner you sign up for health insurance, the sooner you can relax knowing that your most important asset—your health—is covered.
Most insurance companies start coverage within two to four weeks after they have received all the information to process an application. During this if the insurance company is unable to verify your claim, they may either raise your price or deny coverage.

It is a well-known fact that every user of a software application has to accept a disclaimer. Here is a typical example dating from 2018:
There is no warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the program "as is" without warranty of any kind….
In my opinion, the cause of this situation is a lack of such mathematical models and tools for software engineers that would guarantee the functional reliability of products based on the way they have been designed and manufactured. The lack of mathematical models for programming languages also affects user-manuals of these languages which again contributes to low quality of programs.
In my opinion, the failure of constructing a practical system of gaining programs' correctness has two sources.
The first lies in the fact that in building a programming language we start from syntax and only later — if at all — define its semantics. The second source is somehow similar but concerns programs: we first write a program and only then try to prove it correct.
To build a logic of programs for a programming language, one must first define its semantics on a mathematical ground. Since 1970-ties it was rather clear for mathematicians that such semantics to be "practical" must be compositional, i.e., the meaning of a whole must be a composition of the meanings of its parts. Later such semantics were called denotational — the meaning of a program is its denotation — and for about two decades researchers investigated the possibilities of defining denotational semantics for existing programming languages.
Unfortunately, none of these attempts resulted in the creation of software-engineering tools that would be widely accepted by the IT industry. In my opinion, that fact was unavoidable since for the existing programming languages a full denotational semantics simply cannot be defined. That was, in turn, the consequence of the fact that historically syntaxes were coming first and only later researchers were trying to give them a mathematical meaning. In other words — the decision of how to describe things was before what to describe.
The second group of problems followed from a tacit assumption that in the development of mathematically correct programs the development of programs should precede the proofs of their correctness. Although this order is quite obvious in mathematics — first theorem and then its proof — it is rather unusual for an engineer who usually first performs all necessary calculations (the proof) and only then builds his product.
As an attempt to cope with the mentioned problems I show in my book some mathematical methods that may be suitable for designing programming languages with denotational semantics. To illustrate the method an exemplary programming language, Lingua is developed from denotations to syntax. In this way, the decision of what to do (denotations) precedes the decision of how to express that (syntax).
There is also an experimental implementation of a language Lingua which has been described in the book. This implementation was developed by the students of a course that I gave in the Summer Semester 2019/2020 at the Department of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics of Warsaw University.

This barely counts as a makeover because it was SO fast and easy. Baby B loves to look in the mirror, so when I found this mirror at a yard sale for $0.50 I grabbed it for his room. (see how this fits the reflecting theme? I know, I'm bad.)
I loved the shape, but wanted to make it more fun and fitting for a little boy's room. I started by taping the mirror around the edges, making sure not to leave any gaps for paint to sneak through. Then I used paper to cover the rest of the mirror and taped it down.
I took it outside and gave it a quick once over with some sandpaper, just enough to rough up the finish a little.
Then I gave it a thin coat with a glossy red spray paint. The wood color was still showing through pretty badly at that point, so I followed the directions on the can to apply several more thin coats.
Ahhhh. Much better. Then I just let it sit for a few hours to give it time to thoroughly dry and cure, before pulling off the paint and tape.
And I just want to give a shout out to this paint. I had this sitting in the basement (someone gave it to me when they moved and didn't want to pack it. that's where most of my mystery paint came from!) and decided to give it a try. It is Krylon Fusion for Plastic (but it says it works great on other surfaces too) and it changed my idea that all spray paints are equal. They are not. I don't know where to get this or how much it costs, but I'm going to find out! It worked great! It went on SO smoothly with a nice even spray. I didn't have a single drip or splatter (which are pretty common with cheap spray paint). And after a few light coats it covered the wood wonderfully with a clean, shiny finish. Seriously. The mirror looks like it came red, not like it was painted. So yeah, I love this paint. Now where were we?
Oh yeah, next step. Putting it in Baby B's room. I had planned to hang it above the dresser so he could enjoy it during diaper changes but since we switched out the dressers I had to rethink things. Enter Plan B. Baby B has turned into a crawling fiend (and even pulled up on the coffee table today) so we decided to hang it way down near the floor so he can crawl right up and take a peek. And to make sure he doesn't pull it down, we're thinking about drilling right through the wooden frame into the wall. It will take some touch up work afterward, but safety first!
Project Total: $0.50 - frame from a yard sale (already had the paint)
And now for a little reflection on the past month. I had a lot of fun doing this series (and I hope you enjoyed it) and I will definitely consider joining again next year. But if I do, I think I'll be a little more prepared. It was more work than I expected and I ended up frantically writing most of my posts the day they were supposed to go up! But it was a fun challenge and if it's something you think you would enjoy, you should join in next year. I think I have even more ideas now than I started with! Not to mention all the great stuff I'm learning from some of the other 31 dayers (you can see all the participants here). But that's enough rambling from me. Now please excuse me while I take a few days off from this bloggy madness. I'll be back soon with a few new things we've been working on. :)
Thanks for following my 31 Day's series! (you can find links to each days' post here)
Were you inspired to find any hidden potential this month? What were your favorite projects or ideas? And suggestions for next year? Are you thinking about doing a series of your own next year?

The "how to" of business blogging
July 2, 2012
Blogs, once described as the vehicle for narcissistic over sharers and people who found cats amusing, have certainly come into their own.
Today, while there are still plenty of hobby bloggers out there, the tool is being embraced by businesses and thought leaders in record numbers.
The benefits a blog can bring to a business are multifold:
- Blogs, when built properly, can have a significant impact on search engine results and traffic to your site
- Blogs can establish expertise and credibility for a business
- Blogs can drive traffic to your web presence
- Blogs can shorten the sales cycle by establishing a relationship long before the first inquiry
- Blogs can encourage thought leadership within your organization
- Blogs can lead to other media interviews/opportunities
- And many more!
Sadly, most companies who launch a blog either do it badly or don't sustain the blog for more than a couple months. If you're thinking of launching a company blog, here are some basic best practices that will help assure you a solid start.
Build it on a platform optimized for blogging: I can't imagine why anyone would build a blog today on anything but WordPress. It is relatively inexpensive to use, it is constantly being improved with new updates and plugins, the search engines love it and it has a very simple interface so that anyone who can work with Microsoft Word can add, modify or remove content.
There are other blogging specific platforms out there that are also good alternatives to consider. Whatever you do — don't let anyone talk you into building your blog on proprietary software that doesn't allow you to change hosts, servers and control your own site.
Have a strategic plan/editorial calendar: Don't put your first finger on the keyboard until you have thought about why you're doing this in the first place. Put some SMART goals in place, know what audiences matter to you and map out the logistics of writing/maintaining a blog. We literally invest most of a day with clients who want to map this out properly. Don't short-change this critical step.
Write to/for your audience: A blog is not a place for you to put your press releases, talk about what's on sale or push your products. You need to know who your audience is and you need to know what matters to them.
Unless other marketing tactics, a blog is permission based. People choose to read your content or not. If all you do is talk about yourself, they will not choose to keep reading.
Practice before you publish: For many companies – blogging sounds great in theory but when it comes to actually having both the discipline and the desire to sustain it over time – they fall short. To blog well and right – takes a significant time commitment. Not only do you need to create the content but you also need to respond to readers who ask questions or add to the conversation.
We have all of our clients actually blog for 30-45 days "behind the curtain" so we can help them find their voice, identify potential problems and they can get a taste for what blogging is all about. That way, if they decide it's not something they can sustain – we haven't publicly launched something new and then have to explain why it's already going away. Or worse – is just left there, dormant.
For many businesses, a blog should be a no brainer. But, a blog is an organic, constantly evolving marketing tool that at best, you have some control over. But by it's very nature – it's going to grow and change in ways you can't imagine. So it requires some forethought, careful planning and a watchful eye.
Make it work for you by doing the work to get it right.

Jeff Bigler's "tact filter" theory
Merlin Mann | Sep 25 2007
In 1996, Jeff Bigler observed that there appeared to be a "tact filter" that was operated in different directions by "nerds" versus "normal people:" Then, later: Fascinating way to put something I'd never thought of in quite that way before. I've often wondered whether several of the most technically gifted folks I know have a touch of Asperger's, but this more "nurture"-based explanation is a thought-provoking alternative.

Feb 19, 2012 I cannot tell a lie, this movie was plain terrible. The first Ghost Rider made way more sense than this follow up. The story line was really weak especially concerning cage's female lead. The motorcycle wasn't custom. When the ghost rider would appear he'd do these weird head swaying motions that didn't make any sense and made him look like he was medicated or ready to pass out. Don't get me wrong, I went to this movie with high hopes but what I got was a boring, confusing movie that lacked continuity and left me checking my watch a lot to see how long til movie end. BUMMER city all round!
Feb 21, 2012 The only thing good about this movie was some of the previews for new movies coming soon. 3-D effect was a poor try, along with the acting and story line.
Feb 22, 2012 This movie dosen't even compare in quality to the first.
Feb 22, 2012 I expected a much better movie as I like Nicolas Cage, but this was not one of his good performances. It was disjointed, rambled on, and by the end of 30 minutes I was ready to leave the theater! I only stayed because the friend I was with wanted to see it. A waste of time and money.
Feb 24, 2012 Mar 8, 2012
I saw the foirst Ghost Rider movie from 2007 and I had fun with the movie. In the secondf Ghost rider movie, a the fun thgat I had in the first movie were taken off the table. Nicholas Cage has reduced his Ghost Rider character to a self-parody of himself. All he does is going down thge road making facial expressions. Not scary or funny. Just plain bad. In the second film, Ghost Rider comes to the aid of a mother and her son to protect them from bad peoiple who are chasing them. The villains aren't credible either. One villain who has the power to tuyrn things and people to dust isn't fun to watch. If that villain had fun with his villain, then I would lkike him a lot more. The other villain just stands terns making mean expression. There's very little to like about this movie. I think this moivie sxeries has hit a speed bump. Mar 9, 2012

For 40 years Jim has been documenting an astounding phenomenon – the underreported explosive growth of the church worldwide.
"The world is changing hands – for the last time," he says. "It is not a mere shift in power, but a total transformation in how things happen."
For centuries tyrants and generals swept across the earth, crushing and raising empires. Jim believes 2003 probably saw the last war of massed armies. For the church, the 1700-year nightmare is over, and we are launching the final transformation of the Earth.
"Predominant power has suddenly shifted into the hands of us nobodies," Jim says.
The Lord is working quietly, continually, and spectacularly. God has brought people back from the dead in 52 countries, mostly in the last 10 years. All documented – many through people Jim personally knows. Scores of cities plagued with crime and poverty are being transformed. Millions of miracles are happening through ordinary people.
God has many ways of resurrecting the dead: At a Reinhard Bonnke meeting in Nigeria, Daniel Ekechukwu, dead for two days, was brought to the lower level of the meeting in his casket. He'd already been injected with preservatives when his wife brought him there. Cameras were rolling when life came back into his body, and he rose up. This miracle was featured on The 700 Club in May 2002.
In Duad-India, Manu and other church members of the Indian Pentecostal Church in Dunger, Northern India, simply prayed in Jesus' name and placed their Bibles on the body of a six-year-old boy who was near to being buried -- whereupon he opened his eyes.
One missionary in Guatemala read all of Isaiah 53 over and over to a circle of Indians silently mourning the death of a boy until he came back.
Arjun Dass of Delhi, India, was electrocuted in April 2001. A team of five led by Savitri prayed for him, and God resurrected him 10 hours after his death.
One Chinese church leader Wang Xin Cai, who'd been imprisoned for 13 years for his faith, was meeting with seven other leaders to unify the Chinese church. Just prior to leaving for the meeting, his three-year-old daughter fell three stories and cracked her skull. He picked up her remains and laid her on the couch. Brokenhearted and weary, he told God that if this unity meeting was of Him, He had to heal his daughter. It was too tough otherwise. He returned home the first day and her skull was back together; the second day she was breathing; the third day when church unity was reached, he arrived home to a healthy, bubbling baby girl.
Jim says time is up; God is taking over. In 1960 there were 24 nonbelievers for every believer in the world. Now there are only six. There are many testimonies of the Lord Himself appearing to Muslims in visions and dreams. In 1960, even the strongest part of the church was growing slowly as the rest of the world. Now we are growing almost seven times as fast. "When I was a kid in Sunday School, I was really impressed that 3,000 people were saved on the Day of Pentecost," he says. Now that happens around the globe every 25 minutes. That adds up fast. By tomorrow, there will be 175,000 more Christians than there are today in 238 nations around the world. At a 2000 Reinhard Bonnke meeting in Lagos, Nigeria, 3,400,000 registered decisions for Christ of the six million that came. Campus Crusade for Christ estimates we'll see a billion new converts in the next 10 years.
Any way you look at it, the Kingdom is expanding at a heart-pounding rate. From 1970 to 2000, core apostolics doubled every nine years. From our vantage point in Europe and North America, where church membership is going nowhere, these numbers sound fantastical. This is the biggest megashift in history. But as national strongholds of sin are dismantled and pits of misery cleaned up, the true purpose of God for many nations will be revealed. We are in the early stages of a total transformation of our planet.
A 30-year-old farmer lives in the flat part of China – all the better to see the police coming from a long way off. This gives him ample time to take his prayer list off the wall and hide his cell phone – his gift of technology. When asked, the interpreter thought he'd misunderstood the farmer when he said he had 30,000 Christian workers in his church network. Through this missionaries he ministered to an astounding eight million believers. This number pales in comparison to those of "The Heavenly Man," known as Brother Yun, who provides leadership for China's largest network of house churches, totaling 60 million. In his best conservative estimate, Jim says we are looking at a dedicated Spiritual Army of 707 million missionaries. How is the enemy going to stop that Army?
In His takeover of the Earth, the Lord has many avenues to work from. Jim says the Open Church or Open Fellowship is a viable, vital option. The "open church," like the early church, is characterized by three freedoms – pure worship, true sharing, and free ministry. In open worship, everyone presents at a service can participate whether it is singing a song, or offering prayers of praise or adoration to the Lord. Open sharing includes testifying to God moving in one's life, briefly expounding on the Word, or exhorting fellow believers. In open ministry, believers have opportunities to practically help others as needs are expressed. For example, if during this part of the service someone says he is looking for a job and another has some job leads, they will get together. Of if someone has an idea for new ministry outreach, he can explain his idea and ask if others are interested. In an open fellowship, you are not only allowed to share, but prodded, coaxed, and trained to share. A Spirit-driven meeting is an unscripted drama that unfolds before your eyes, and the team players are there to play. In open meetings, God is free to do as He wants. He has, in theory, total control of the agenda and choice of participants. Today there is a rapidly spreading awareness that the real matrix of growth and change is the small group, whether it is the independent house church, a cell (subdivision of a traditional church), or some other goal-oriented task team.
How does an open church look different from a traditional church? Most of them meet in homes, offices, schools, and restaurants. A bigger difference: they aren't once-a-week affairs. They offer a 24/7 support community that's somewhere between a volleyball team, college fraternity, etc. They don't have programs. Projects sometimes, but not programs. Their meetings are highly participatory. The good ones are viral -- what baseball calls expansion teams. Jim promises a network of interactive fellowships meeting in homes worldwide without pastors, programs, or sermons where members will take a giant step up to a whole new level of life. Instead of sitting once a week on Sunday, they can be active participants in what God is doing. They shed their problems. They get a solid, dedicated team behind them, one that will stand by them no matter what, and enable them to reach their goals. They become a key person in the exploding Kingdom of God and have a lasting impact on the world of the future. Most importantly, they will have a much closer heart-knowledge of God.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

Are you planning to hit the road with your pets this summer?
Whether you are planning a lengthy family road trip or a quick summer getaway, there are some important things you need to know before making the decision to travel with your pets. Use the following tips to guarantee a safe and stress-free trip for the whole family!
Safety Tips
Firstly, remember to buckle up. Your pets should be just as secure in a moving vehicle as you are. Moreover, it is distracting and dangerous to allow your pets to move freely about the car while you are driving. The best way to protect your pet in the car is to use a pet carrier for the duration of your journey. Use a special seatbelt to secure your pet carrier in the backseat; this will protect your pet from bouncing around on the road. For their safety and your own, do not position your pet in the front seat of your car. If an airbag deploys while your pet is in the front seat, it could cause serious harm to your pet — even if they are in a crate.
Next, while your pet may love sticking his or her head out of car windows during road trips, the ASPA maintains that keeping your pets inside your vehicle is imperative for your pet's safety and wellbeing. Protect your pets from flying debris, ear damage and exposure to lung infections by keeping their paws, tails and heads inside the vehicle at all times.
Just as you likely travel with snacks and water for yourself, you should plan to feed your pet at their regularly scheduled meal times to prevent them from getting hungry and agitated on the road. The amount of food and water you should bring depends on the length and duration of your trip, so plan accordingly. It is recommended that you bring at least 1 gallon of water with you on your trip to ensure your pet stays properly hydrated. Also, try to make frequent stops throughout your trip, so your pet can drink, stretch his or her legs and use the bathroom when needed.
Lastly, never leave your pets alone in the car. Even if you are making a quick stop, temperatures inside your car can increase dramatically within a very short period of time. Within an hour, the temperature inside your car can rise over 40 degrees and cause your pet to suffer from heatstroke, organ damage and even death. Instead of leaving your pets inside your vehicle when you stop for lunch or a short break, try to eat and stop at pet-friendly establishments. Nowadays, many restaurants allow you to bring pets to their outdoor patios and have them sit with you while you eat your meal. Most restaurants indicate whether or not they are pet friendly on their website or social media pages, so check there before you make a stop.
