Donny Osmond's Birthday, purple mittens and UMC preemie patterns!
Hi everyone!
Tomorrow is Donny Osmond's 49th birthday and as some of you (who are as old as I) will know that YEARS ago his favorite color was PURPLE!!! (Which happens to be my fave color!)
Anyhow, tomorrow- Dec 9th, I will be making purple items for charity, just for fun!
I got some Red Heart 'purples' varigated yarn today at the hardware store and tomorrow they are going to become KIDS MITTENS for the baby project - which as you know is not just for babies anymore, it is now for hundreds of refugees in Afghanistan.
http://www.bevscoun trycottage.com/baby-project.html
If you would like to join me in having a PURPLE DAY to honor Donny Osmond's birthday - yell out "Someone help me, help me, help me, pleeee- e-e- eese!!" And lets see what we can make!!
This pattern was given to me last week by a lady in our Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please do not place them on your site, do NOT sell them or items made from them! I have made a few adjustments to the pattern to make it easier to understand. If you make these please consider either sending them to UMC in Vegas, or to a hospital of your choice who need tiny items.
Directions for Preemie Booties and Hats
They are needed at the county hospital in Vegas
Mail to: University Medical Center
Att: Suzanne Fein-Poisson
1800 W. Charleston Blvd
Las Vegas NV 89102
(adjustments made by Beverly A. Qualheim 2006)
All rows are worked in back loop only (BLO) of each stitch to create ribbing for stretch.
Using size F hook and baby yarn (Size G hook for newborn size)
Chain 35
Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn (34 sc)
Row 2: sc in BLO of first 27 sc except leave the last 7 sts unworked. Ch 1, turn
Row 3: sc in BLO of each st across. Ch 1, turn (27 sc)
Row 4: sc in BLO back including the last 7 unworked sts you skipped in row 2. Ch 1, turn (34 sc)
Repeat these 4 rows 14 times till you have 56 rows (28 ridges)
Cut yarn leaving a 36" tail. Using a large eyed sewing needle, thread yarn and stitch the side seam shut by holding row 1 and row 56 together matching sts. Weave the needle in and out of the top sts of the hat, and pull tightly to gather the top. Back stitch 4 sts and cut yarn.
Size F hook and baby yarn for preemie size (size G hook for newborn size)
LEG: Ch 15 (all rows are worked in BLO)
Row 1: Sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn (14 sc)
Row 2 - 20:Sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn (14 sts). At the end on row 20, do not fasten off.
INSTEP: With 2 yards of new yarn, join in end of 8th row of leg. (I count in past 4 ridges to the 5th ridge)
Row 1: Ch 1, sc in same st as joining sc and in end st of next 4 rows. Ch 1, turn (5 sts).
Rows 2-7: Sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn (5 sts). Fasten off.
(You now have an upside down looking 'T' with a fat top to the T and a short thin stem)
FOOT: Pick up working yarn on the leg. (You will be working across, up, over, back down, and across the stem of the upside down T shape.)
Sc in the end sts across next 8 rows of leg.
Sc in end of next 7 sts of the instep.
Sc in BLO of next 5 sc.
Sc in end st of next 8 rows of leg.
Rows 2-7: Sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn (35 sts)
Row 8: Sk first st, sc in next 14 sts (skip 1 st, sc in next) 3 times total, sc in next 12 sts, sk 1 st, sl st in last st. Ch 1, turn (29 sts)
Row 9: Sk first st, sc in next 11 sts, (sk 1 st, sc in next st) 3 times, sc in next 10 sts, sk 1 st, sl st in last st. Ch 1, turn (24 sts)
Row 10: Sk first st, sc in next 12 sts. With right sides facing, sl st corresponding sts of bottom edges together.
Whip stitch remaining portion of the foot and leg (or slip stitch shut). Fasten off, Eave in the ends
BLO = Back loop only, sk = skip, sc = single crochet, ch = chain, st = stitch, sl = slip.
HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE! I am off to work on a scarf, so I can start those purple mittens tomorrow!

Hi Bev,
I'll join you in wishing Donny a very happy birthday. Shame he has to work but i understand he'll be celebrating with Debbie and family in a couple of days. Sorry i can't do any knitting, i'm useless with stuff like that but its great that you can do it. Love, Jane x
Bev, is there an oversight in the pattern for the hat? It starts out by saying "using a size F hook", but doesn't say how many to chain to get started. Have I missed something? I would love to help make hats and baby items for any charity.
- bevq said...
Yup-- the original pattern was a bit hard to decifer! Sorry about that... it should be chain 35. I will add that.
WOW--made me REALLY smile TODAY
Donny Osmond's Birthday
he was MY favorite for many years-- STILL have a place for HIM in my heart even after ALL these years....
I love Crocheting for folks...
making GREAT christmas presents now--and satrting on FEW baby afghans for lady here to take to hospital........HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Texas Friend
I know I've posted a couple months ago, but can't remember what name I used! Anyway....just wanted to tell everyone that I was able to "share" Donny's birthday with him....at Beauty and the Beast in NYC! The show was fantastic. And during curtain call, Steve Blanchard (the Beast) brought out a huge cake and we all got to sing Happy Birthday to Donny. It was so much fun. We got to take pictures too.

I have an iPhone. It's not 7 Plus, 7, or not even a 6S. It is an iPhone 6, and despite whatever 'revolutionary' device Apple may announce today, I have no intentions of upgrading as it has been working perfectly fine.
But that won't be the case with many iPhone users, with most of them wanting to upgrade to the new shiny iPhones, 7S, 8 or whatever it may be called. Sadly, in a country like India, where there are no carrier subsidies, only a very small affluent class will be able to upgrade their iPhones every year.
However, the important question to ask here is, do we need to upgrade our iPhones every year? Do we even need a new iPhone launching every year?
The best way to explain Apple's aggressive yearly upgrade cycle is through the concept called planned obsolescence, "a policy of planning or designing a product with a limited useful life, so it will become obsolete, that is, unfashionable or no longer functional after a certain period of time".
The idea of planned obsolescence is neither new nor invented by Apple. In fact, it existed since the great depression, began with Bernard London's 1932 essay titled 'Ending the Depression Through Planned Obsolescence'. London's vision was that the government impose a legal obsolescence on consumer articles, to stimulate and perpetuate consumption.
Even though the idea of planned obsolescence seemed effective during the Great Depression, in the decades the that followed it became a very unpopular norm that Volkswagen's ads pitched,"we do not believe in planned obsolescence, we don't change a car for the sake of change".
To understand Apple's strategy and our own desire for upgrading to the latest and greatest, and the cost that comes with it, you don't have to analyze every earning call or shareholder meetings by Apple. Rather the answer lies with cultural critic Vance Packard's 1960 work The Waste Maker, an expose of "the systematic attempt of business to make us wasteful, debt-ridden, permanently discontented individuals."
Packard in his book categorized planned obsolescence into two: obsolescence of desirability and obsolescence of function. "Obsolescence of desirability" or "psychological obsolescence" is the manufacturer's ' effort to wear out a product in the owner's mind. This is exactly what Apple and all other smartphone manufacturers have been attempting, as the progress of technology slows down. And they accomplish this with slight changes in design, made essentially for the sake of change.
According to industrial designer George Nelson" Design... is an attempt to make a contribution to change. When no contribution is made or can be made, the only process available for giving the illusion of change is 'styling!'"
What this strategy provides a manufacturer, such as Apple, is helping them generate long-term sales volume by reducing the time between repeat purchases, or upgrade cycle, as we call it. Vance Packard points that psychological obsolescence wastes resources and doesn't bring great value to the customer.
Some may claim, this small upgrade cycles will drive technological advancement. However, may I ask what was this 'technological advancement' an iPhone 7 had that an iPhone 6S didn't? Losing headphone jack, may be?
The claim that planned obsolescence drive rapid innovation is evidently baseless. In his book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, philosopher Nick Bostrom states that the technology the masses will use in next 5 years is already developed and has been using in smaller scale already.
The ugly truth here is that technological improvements are not introduced even though they could be, as we have been seeing every year, as they postponed them to feed the upgrade cycle.
It is an elementary knowledge that continuously replacing, rather than repairing, products create more waste, pollution, uses more natural resources. Sadly, any strategy towards repairability was met often with very little enthusiasm, as with the case of Dutch made Fairphone and Google's abandoned Aura modular phone project.
In few months, my iPhone's battery will start to falter, and the forced iOS upgrade will definitely slow it down, as it doesn't have the hardware capability to handle it. And with so much money, content, and data invested in Apple ecosystem, like everyone else, I will be forced to upgrade to the new shiny iPhone Apple will launch today.

New York's only branch of the controversial fried chicken sandwich chain Chick-Fil-A is located in an NYU cafeteria, but if a self-proclaimed Tea Partier running for State Assembly has his way the restaurant will soon set up shop in South Brooklyn. As a response to City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's letter asking NYU to close the campus Chick-Fil-A after the owner of the chain declared his opposition to same-sex marriage, Mr. Gallo sent a letter of his own. Mr. Gallo wrote to Dan Cathy, the president of Chick-Fil-A, saying, "I would like to invite your company to consider opening a Chick-Fil-A restaurant in southern Brooklyn."
"I want you to know that Ms. Quinn does not speak for all New Yorkers. I and many of my neighbors agree with your views on traditional family units. But more importantly, I'm sure we all could agree that no one in government should tell anyone what to believe, who to support and how to spend our money," Mr. Gallo wrote.

Not really, but I can count on my next door neighbor when I'm in need of help such as to fix something for me.
Yesterday my mower wouldn't start at all. When he got it going it was smoking a lot, but he fixed it and I was able to cut the grass.
I'm in the same boat Linda. However, my kids are friends with the neighborhood kids. There are a LOT of kids in our neighborhood.
My husband has a buddy in the neighborhood too.
Not here. Back home I was friends with all my neighbors. Maybe I will be someday here. I am at least getting acquainted though.
We used to be closer when all of our kids were young , they've all grown up now and we really don't hang out anymore .

Happiness Just Works - Part 2
If we continue the theme of "Happiness Just Works" from my first blog, we must figure out the best way to connect with our employees and our leadership in making this go from a thought to reality. As I mentioned before, the worst thing you can do is an "Employee Engagement" survey and do nothing with the results. When employees fill this out, it is a GIFT. A gift for you, as a leader, to understand what your employees need in order to be happy and satisfied at work. I don't have to cite the statistics of what engaged/happy associates do to your retention, your customer loyalty and your bottom line. It baffles me that this is NOT a strategic initiative with leaders today, especially knowing that the market is turning from an employer market to an employee market. With a baby boomer retiring every 8 seconds, companies MUST figure out the best way to be an employer of choice and retain their top talent.
It's easy to talk about "Employee Engagement" and Workplace Happiness, however, it's a completely different story how to make it happen. It is NOT solely the job of HR. It is NOT solely the job of your leadership team and CEO. It is NOT solely the job of each employee. It's about creating an engaging culture and with that in mind, it is a process not an event and EVERYONE plays a role. Your culture did not get the way it is overnight and therefore to change it will take everyone in your company to understand their role in creating a Powered by Happy culture. I love when new leadership comes in and creates "mandates". This is how it's going to be. Well, hate to disappoint you, but that doesn't work. It's not that easy! Just because you say so, doesn't make it so.
Therefore I offer you, a solution. A Powered by Happy Company Certification. What does this mean? Very simply it is creating a movement for your organization to be Powered by Happy. We will teach you how you can apply the book to your workday from an individual contributor and leadership perspective and ultimately impact your company's culture. MANY managers and above do not know HOW to engage their employees and conversely, many employees don't know how to be accountable to their own happiness at work. This is a missed learning opportunity with many "action plans" that come after a survey. We want to train you on HOW to be a Powered by Happy culture and what each person's role is in it! We create success metrics on what a PBH company culture looks like from recruiting to retention and sustainability.
We will create specific action plans on what it looks like and feels like to be a Powered by Happy company! It starts with specific workshops for individual contributors and then leadership. We review what it means for you personally to be Powered by Happy at work. After reading the book, you can create your own individual workplan. Then we will wrap up the learning with a workshop on how to apply your plan and what you learned from the book to your workday and company. In the end, we will create a specific roadmap, expectations and plan to ensure a sustainable process and successful transformation of your culture! And this, my friends, is how you and your company become Powered by Happy!
Again, it's simple and it's a start to creating your company's reputation as the BEST PLACE TO WORK! It will help create loyal customers, engaged associates who want to give discretionary effort (rather than sabotage) and positively impact your bottom line. Who wouldn't want this? Contact me today to find out more!

Dunbar's number
Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individualknows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found […]
Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individualknows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.[1][2][3][4][5][6] This number was first proposed in the 1990s by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size.[7] By using the average human brain size and extrapolating from the results of primates, he proposed that humans can only comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships.[8] Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 250, with a commonly used value of 150.[9][10] Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with a lack of persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size.
Dunbar theorized that "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size … the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained." On the periphery, the number also includes past colleagues, such as high schoolfriends, with whom a person would want to reacquaint himself if they met again.[11]
Dunbar has argued that 150 would be the mean group size only for communities with a very high incentive to remain together. For a group of this size to remain cohesive, Dunbar speculated that as much as 42% of the group's time would have to be devoted to social grooming. Correspondingly, only groups under intense survival pressure.
Dunbar, in Grooming, Gossip, and the Evolution of Language, proposes furthermore that language may have arisen as a "cheap" means of social grooming, allowing early humans to maintain social cohesion efficiently. Without language, Dunbar speculates, humans would have to expend nearly half their time on social grooming, which would have made productive, cooperative effort nearly impossible. Language may have allowed societies to remain cohesive, while reducing the need for physical and social intimacy.[12]
Dunbar's number has since become of interest in anthropology, evolutionary psychology,[13] statistics, and business management. For example, developers of social software are interested in it, as they need to know the size of social networks their software needs to take into account; and in the modern military, operational psychologists seek such data to support or refute policies related to maintaining or improving unit cohesion and morale. A recent study has suggested that Dunbar's number is applicable to online social networks[14][15] and communication networks (mobile phone).[16]
Philip Lieberman argues that since band societies of approximately 30-50 people are bounded by nutritional limitations to what group sizes can be fed without at least rudimentary agriculture, big human brains consuming more nutrients than ape brains, group sizes of approximately 150 cannot have been selected for in paleolithic humans.[20]Brains much smaller than human or even mammalian brains are also known to be able to support social relationships, including social insects with hierachies where each individual knows its place (such as the paper wasp with its societies of approximately 80 individuals [21]) and computer-simulated virtual autonomous agents with simple reaction programming emulating what is referred to in primatology as "ape politics".[22]

The Chimpanzee Genome Project is an effort to determine the DNA sequence of the Chimpanzee genome. It is expected that by comparing the genomes of humans and other apes, it will be possible to better understand what makes humans distinct from other species from a genetic perspective.
Human and chimpanzee chromosomes are very similar. The primary difference is that humans have one fewer pair of chromosomes than do other great apes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and other great apes have 24 pairs of chromosomes. In the human evolutionary lineage, two ancestral ape chromosomes fused at their telomeres, producing human chromosome 2.[3] There are nine other major chromosomal differences between chimpanzees and humans: chromosome segment inversions on human chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 9,12, 15, 16, 17, and 18. After the completion of the Human genome project, a common chimpanzee genome project was initiated. In December 2003, a preliminary analysis of 7600 genes shared between the two genomes confirmed that certain genes such as theforkhead-box P2 transcription factor, which is involved in speech development, are different in the human lineage. Several genes involved in hearing were also found to have changed during human evolution, suggesting selection involving human language-related behavior. Differences between individual humans and common chimpanzees are estimated to be about 10 times the typical difference between pairs of humans.[4]
About 600 genes have been identified that may have been undergoing strong positive selection in the human and chimp lineages; many of these genes are involved in immune system defense against microbial disease (example: granulysin is protective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis [8]) or are targeted receptors of pathogenic microorganisms (example: Glycophorin C and Plasmodium falciparum). By comparing human and chimp genes to the genes of other mammals, it has been found that genes coding fortranscription factors, such as forkhead-box P2 (FOXP2), have often evolved faster in the human relative to chimp; relatively small changes in these genes may account for the morphological differences between humans and chimps. A set of 348 transcription factor genes code for proteins with an average of about 50 percent more amino acid changes in the human lineage than in the chimp lineage.
Six human chromosomal regions were found that may have been under particularly strong and coordinated selection during the past 250,000 years. These regions contain at least one marker allele that seems unique to the human lineage while the entire chromosomal region shows lower than normal genetic variation. This pattern suggests that one or a few strongly selected genes in the chromosome region may have been preventing the random accumulation of neutral changes in other nearby genes. One such region on chromosome 7 contains the FOXP2 gene (mentioned above) and this region also includes the Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which is important for ion transport in tissues such as the salt-secreting epithelium of sweat glands. Human mutations in the CFTR gene might be selected for as a way to survivecholera.[9]
Another such region on chromosome 4 may contain elements regulating the expression of a nearby protocadherin gene that may be important for brain development and function. Although changes in expression of genes that are expressed in the brain tend to be less than for other organs (such as liver) on average, gene expression changes in the brain have been more dramatic in the human lineage than in the chimp lineage.[10] This is consistent with the dramatic divergence of the unique pattern of human brain development seen in the human lineage compared to the ancestral great ape pattern. The protocadherin-beta gene cluster on chromosome 5 also shows evidence of possible positive selection.[11]
Results from the human and chimp genome analyses should help in understanding some human diseases. Humans appear to have lost a functional caspase-12 gene, which in other primates codes for an enzyme that may protect against Alzheimer's disease.
The results of the chimpanzee genome project suggest that when ancestral chromosomes 2A and 2B fused to produce human chromosome 2, no genes were lost from the fused ends of 2A and 2B. At the site of fusion, there are approximately 150,000 base pairs of sequence not found in chimpanzee chromosomes 2A and 2B. Additional linked copies of the PGML/FOXD/CBWD genes exist elsewhere in the human genome, particularly near the p end of chromosome 9. This suggests that a copy of these genes may have been added to the end of the ancestral 2A or 2B prior to the fusion event. It remains to be determined if these inserted genes confer a selective advantage.
- PGML. The phosphoglucomutase-like gene of human chromosome 2. This gene is incomplete and may not produce a functional transcript.[12]
- FOXD. The forkhead box D4-like gene is an example of an intronless gene. The function of this gene is not known, but it may code for a transcription control protein.
- CBWD. Cobalamin synthetase is a bacterial enzyme that makes vitamin B12. In the distant past, a common ancestor to mice and apes incorporated a copy of a cobalamin synthetase gene (see: Horizontal gene transfer). Humans are unusual in that they have several copies of cobalamin synthetase-like genes, including the one on chromosome 2. It remains to be determined what the function of these human cobalamin synthetase-like genes is. If these genes are involved in vitamin B12 metabolism, this could be relevant to human evolution. A major change in human development is greater post-natal brain growth than is observed in other apes. Vitamin B12is important for brain development, and vitamin B12 deficiency during brain development results in severe neurological defects in human children.
- CXYorf1-like protein. Several transcripts of unknown function corresponding to this region have been isolated. This region is also present in the closely related chromosome 9p terminal region that contains copies of the PGML/FOXD/CBWD genes.
- Many ribosomal protein L23a pseudogenes are scattered through the human genome.

The Moral Status of Animals
First published Tue Jul 1, 2003; substantive revision Mon Sep 13, 2010
What is distinctive about humanity such that humans are thought to have moral status and non-humans do not? Providing an answer to this question has become increasingly important among philosophers as well as those outside of philosophy who are interested in our treatment of non-human animals. For some, answering this question will enable us to better understand the nature of human beings and the proper scope of our moral obligations. Some argue that there is an answer that can distinguish humans from the rest of the natural world. Many of those who accept this answer are interested in justifying certain human practices towards non-humans—practices that cause pain, discomfort, suffering and death. This latter group expect that in answering the question in a particular way, humans will be justified in granting moral consideration to other humans that is neither required nor justified when considering non-human animals. In contrast to this view, many philosophers have argued that while humans are different in a variety of ways from each other and other animals, these differences do not provide a philosophical defense for denying non-human animals moral consideration. What the basis of moral consideration is and what it amounts to has been the source of much disagreement.
The species Homo sapiens share a genetic make-up and a distinctive physiology, but this is unimportant from the moral point of view. Species membership itself cannot support the view that members of one species, namely ours, deserve moral consideration that is not owed to members of other species. Humans are morally considerable because of the distinctively human capacities we possess. But which capacities are only human? There is no activity that is uncontroversially unique to humans. Both scholarly and popular work on animal behavior suggests that many of the activities that are thought to be distinct to humans occur in non-humans. Darwin brought us closer to the animal world, but equally brought animal nature closer to us. (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/ ).
The notion of personhood identifies a category of morally considerable beings that is thought to be coextensive with humanity. Historically, Kant is the most noted defender of personhood as the quality that makes a being valuable and thus morally considerable. Yet Kant's view of personhood cannot distinguish all and only humans as morally considerable. Some humans are not persons, i.e. infants, children, people with advanced forms of autism or Alzheimer's disease or other cognitive disorders—do not have the rational, self-reflective capacities associated with personhood.
More to the point, rationality itself is suspect as a basis for moral right. On one hand, human rationality is bounded by lower level instincts and mechanistic behavior, and on the other, non-humans exhibit behavior that can be deemed moral. Thus morality is orthogonal to rationality. As a matter of fact, individuals that are hyper rational and lack lower level motional control of their behaviors are nor deemed highly moral, but rather are characterized as psychopathic (http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2010/04/29/psychopaths-and-rational-moral/ ).
Al Dunlap [That would be "Chainsaw" Al Dunlap, former CEO of Sunbeam and notorious downsizer.] effortlessly turns the psychopath checklist into "Who Moved My Cheese?" Many items on the checklist he redefines into a manual of how to do well in capitalism. There was his reputation that he was a man who seemed to enjoy firing people, not to mention the stories from his first marriage — telling his first wife he wanted to know what human flesh tastes like, not going to his parents' funerals. Then you realize that because of this dysfunctional capitalistic society we live in those things were positives. He was hailed and given high-powered jobs, and the more ruthlessly his administration behaved, the more his share price shot up.
Some models of human behavior in the social sciences assume that humans can be reasonably approximated or described as "rational" entities (see for example rational choice theory, or Downs Political Agency Models). Many economics models assume that people are on average rational, and can in large enough quantities be approximated to act according to their preferences. The concept of bounded rationality revises this assumption to account for the fact that perfectly rational decisions are often not feasible in practice because of the finite computational resources available for making them.
Bounded rationality is the idea that when individuals make decisions, their rationality is limited by the information they have, the cognitive limitations of their minds, and the time available to make the decision (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_rationality ).
If morality is defined in terms of social behavior, non-humans exhibit different moral behavioral modes (http://www.ted.com/talks/frans_de_waal_do_animals_have_morals?%ca&language=en ). Social life may be regarded as a sort of symbiosis among individuals of the same species: a society is composed of a group of individuals belonging to the same species living within well-defined rules. When biologists interested in evolution theory first started examining social behavior, some apparently unanswerable questions arose, such as how the birth of sterile castes, like in bees, could be explained through an evolving mechanism that emphasizes the reproductive success of as many individuals as possible, or why, amongst animals living in small groups like squirrels, an individual would risk its own life to save the rest of the group. These behaviors may be examples of altruism. Revengeful behavior has been reported in non Homo sapiens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethology ).
Humans are animals in ways so subtly that we are unaware of it. Humans are subject to the same instinctual drives and influences as other animals are; it's only human arrogance that would ever lead us to think otherwise. Fifty to seventy percent of the variation between individuals – in intelligence, in personality, in political leanings, or just about any other mental character you care to name – derives from the genes; zero to ten percent derives from the home environment; and the mysterious remainder is due to chance or to non-parental environment. (The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature by Steven Pinker)
The understanding that other people's emotional states depend on the fulfillment of their intention is fundamentally important for responding adequately to others. Psychopathic patients show severe deficits in responding adequately to other people's emotion. Psychopaths can teach us a lot about the nature of morality. At first glance, they seem to have perfectly functioning minds. Their working memory isn't impaired, they have excellent language skills, and they don't have reduced attention spans. In fact, a few studies have found that psychopaths have above-average IQs and reasoning abilities; their logic is impeccable. But the disorder is associated with a severe moral deficit. (http://scienceblogs.com/cortex/2010/04/29/psychopaths-and-rational-moral/ ).
So what's gone wrong? Why are psychopaths so much more likely to use violence to achieve their goals? Why are they so overrepresented in our prisons? The answer turns us to the anatomy of morality in the mind. That's because the intact intelligence of psychopaths conceals a devastating problem: the emotional parts of their brains are damaged, and this is what makes them dangerous.
When normal people are shown violent imagery or other painful stimulus, they automatically generate a visceral emotional reaction. Their hands start to sweat, and their blood pressure surges. But psychopaths feel nothing. When you peer inside the psychopathic brain, you can literally see this absence of emotion. After being exposed to fearful facial expressions, the emotional parts of the normal human brain show increased levels of activation. So do the cortical areas responsible for recognizing faces. As a result, a frightened face becomes a frightening sight; we naturally internalize the feelings of others. The brains of psychopaths, however, respond to these fearful faces with utter disinterest.
I am more inclined to take the position of Schopenhauer. For him, all individual animals, including humans, are essentially the same, being phenomenal manifestations of the one underlying Will. The word "will" designated, for him, force, power, impulse, energy, and desire; it is the closest word we have that can signify both the real essence of all external things and also our own direct, inner experience. Since everything is basically Will, then humans and animals are fundamentally the same and can recognize themselves in each other. For this reason, he claimed that a good person would have sympathy for animals, who are our fellow sufferers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Schopenhauer ).
Schopenhauer emphasizes the necessity of finding a basis for Ethics that appeals, not to the intellect, but to the intuitive perception (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_Basis_of_Morality/Translator%27s_Introduction ). According to Schopenhauer, the end of Ethics is not to treat of that which people ought to do (for " ought " has no place except in theological Morals, whether explicit, or implicit)

Group selection is a proposed mechanism of evolution in which natural selection is imagined to act at the level of the group, instead of at the more conventional level of the individual.
Early authors such as V. C. Wynne-Edwards and Konrad Lorenz argued that the behavior of animals could affect their survival and reproduction as groups.
From the mid 1960s, evolutionary biologists such as John Maynard Smith argued that natural selection acted primarily at the level of the individual. They argued on the basis of mathematical models that individuals would not altruistically sacrifice fitness for the sake of a group. They persuaded the majority of biologists that group selection did not occur, other than in special situations such as the haplodiploid social insects like honeybees (in the Hymenoptera), where kin selection was possible.
In 1994 David Sloan Wilson and Elliott Sober argued for multi-level selection, including group selection, on the grounds that groups, like individuals, could compete. In 2010 three authors including E. O. Wilson, known for his work on ants, again revisited the arguments for group selection, provoking a strong rebuttal from a large group of evolutionary biologists. As of yet, there is no clear consensus among biologists regarding the importance of group selection.

Metabolism (from Greek: ???????? metabol?, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. These enzyme-catalyzed reactions allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms, including digestionand the transport of substances into and between different cells, in which case the set of reactions within the cells is calledintermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism.
Metabolism is usually divided into two categories: catabolism, the breaking down of organic matter by way of cellular respiration, andanabolism, the building up of components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids. Usually, breaking down releases energy and building up consumes energy.
The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed through a series of steps into another chemical, by a sequence of enzymes. Enzymes are crucial to metabolism because they allow organisms to drive desirable reactions that require energy that will not occur by themselves, by coupling them to spontaneous reactions that release energy. Enzymes act as catalysts that allow the reactions to proceed more rapidly. Enzymes also allow the regulation of metabolic pathways in response to changes in the cell's environment or to signals from other cells.
The metabolic system of a particular organism determines which substances it will find nutritious and which poisonous. For example, some prokaryotes use hydrogen sulfide as a nutrient, yet this gas is poisonous to animals.[1] The speed of metabolism, the metabolic rate, influences how much food an organism will require, and also affects how it is able to obtain that food.
A striking feature of metabolism is the similarity of the basic metabolic pathways and components between even vastly different species.[2] For example, the set of carboxylic acids that are best known as the intermediates in the citric acid cycle are present in all known organisms, being found in species as diverse as the unicellular bacterium Escherichia coli and huge multicellular organisms like elephants.[3] These striking similarities in metabolic pathways are likely due to their early appearance in evolutionary history, and their retention because of their efficacy.
Phylogenetics /ˌfaɪloʊdʒəˈnɛtɪks, –lə–/[1][2] (Greek: φυλή, φῦλον – phylé, phylon = tribe, clan, race + γενετικός – genetikós = origin, source, birth)[3] – in biology – is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among individuals or groups of organisms(e.g. species, or populations). These relationships are discovered through phylogenetic inference methods that evaluate observedheritable traits, […]
Phylogenetics /?fa?lo?d???n?t?ks, –l?–/[1][2] (Greek: ????, ????? – phylé, phylon = tribe, clan, race + ????????? – genetikós = origin, source, birth)[3] – in biology – is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among individuals or groups of organisms(e.g. species, or populations). These relationships are discovered through phylogenetic inference methods that evaluate observedheritable traits, such as DNA sequences or morphology under a model of evolution of these traits. The result of these analyses is aphylogeny (also known as a phylogenetic tree) – a hypothesis about the history of evolutionary relationships.[4] The tips of a phylogenetic tree can be living organisms or fossils. Phylogenetic analyses have become central to understanding biodiversity, evolution, ecology, and genomes.
Taxonomy is the classification, identification and naming of organisms. It is usually richly informed by phylogenetics, but remains a methodologically and logically distinct discipline.[5] The degree to which taxonomies depend on phylogenies (or classification depends on evolutionary development) differs depending on the school of taxonomy: phenetics ignores phylogeny altogether, trying to represent the similarity between organisms instead; cladistics (phylogenetic systematics) tries to reproduce phylogeny in its classification without loss of information; evolutionary taxonomy tries to find a compromise between them.

This state is calledstasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to […]
Punctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that once species appear in the fossil record they will become stable, showing little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history. This state is calledstasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and geologically rapid events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.[1] Punctuated equilibrium is commonly contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the belief that evolution generally occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (called anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.
In 1972, paleontologists Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould published a landmark paper developing their theory and called it punctuated equilibria.[2] Their paper built upon Ernst Mayr's model of geographic speciation,[3] I. Michael Lerner's theories of developmental and genetic homeostasis,[4] as well as their own empirical research.[5][6] Eldredge and Gould proposed that the degree of gradualism commonly attributed to Charles Darwin is virtually nonexistent in the fossil record, and that stasis dominates the history of mostfossil species.
Stephen Jay Gould (/?u?ld/; September 10, 1941 – May 20, 2002) was an American paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of science. He was also one of the most influential and widely read writers of popular science of his generation.[1] Gould spent most of his career teaching at Harvard University and working at theAmerican Museum of Natural History in New York. In the later years of his life, Gould also taught biology and evolution at New York University.
Gould's most significant contribution to evolutionary biology was the theory of punctuated equilibrium, which he developed with Niles Eldredge in 1972.[2] The theory proposes that most evolution is marked by long periods of evolutionary stability, which is punctuated by rare instances of branching evolution. The theory was contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the idea that evolutionary change is marked by a pattern of smooth and continuous change in the fossil record.
Most of Gould's empirical research was based on the land snail genera Poecilozonites and Cerion. He also contributed to evolutionary developmental biology, and has received wide praise for his book Ontogeny and Phylogeny. In evolutionary theory he opposed strict selectionism, sociobiology as applied to humans, andevolutionary psychology. He campaigned against creationism and proposed that science and religion should be considered two distinct fields (or "magisteria") whose authorities do not overlap.[3]
Gould was known by the general public mainly from his 300 popular essays in the magazine Natural History,[4] and his books written for a non-specialist audience. In April 2000, the US Library of Congress named him a "Living Legend".[5]

Robotic extensions of human operators to perform complex tasks remotely
Telerobotics is concerned with remote controlled robots which can be applied in situations where human skills are required in a location that is either difficult to access or hazardous, e.g. confined spaces or underwater. In these situations, a telerobotics system can serve as an extension of a human operator to enable him/her to perform the complex task remotely. In our approach, we provide the human operator with full perceptual and manipulation capabilities to perceive and act as if being present at the remote site.

President Obama has the authority to launch strikes against Islamic militants in Syria, even without a stamp of approval from the United Nations, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. said Sunday.
Samantha Power said that, while there's broad support among U.N. Security Council members for taking the fight to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as ISIL, the United States has the legal right to launch Syrian strikes without the group's explicit backing.
"Consistent with the U.N. charter, we [think] – it would depend on the facts and circumstances of any particular strike in Syria – that we have the legal basis we need," Power said on ABC's "This Week" program.
Asked specifically about the possibility that Russia would veto such authority, Power suggested the Russians would back the United States.
"Russia has vetoed in the past, but on very different issues," Power said. "Russia has made clear, for a long time, its opposition to ISIL."
Power said a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, convened by Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday, left U.S. officials confident that the international community is universally supportive of the fight against ISIS.
"It showcased just how much support there is on the Security Council and in the broader international community for the anti-ISIL effort," she said.
Obama on Wednesday will be in New York to address the U.N. General Assembly in a bid to rally more international support behind that effort.
"Because we're leading the right way, more nations are joining our coalition," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio address. "Over 40 countries have offered to help the broad campaign against ISIL so far – from training and equipment, to humanitarian relief, to flying combat missions."
While France last week joined the ISIS fight by launching direct air strikes on the terrorist militants in Iraq, no country has yet committed to helping the United States should Obama expand those strikes into Syria.
Power acknowledged that no other country has said explicitly that they would join an aerial campaign in Syria. But she strongly suggested that such support is forthcoming.
"It will be up to each country to announce for itself whether it's prepared to participate in a combat role or can provide military equipment," Power said. "I will make you a prediction … which is that we will not do the airstrikes alone."

Hotels in Cadaques
Accommodations in CadaquesCadaqués is a small fishing village of Girona, which became known worldwide
as beeing the summer residence of Salvador Dalí, who has left his marks in the region. It is one of the most visited areas of the Costa Brava.
There are 13 beaches, including three nudist beaches... with an unbeatable quality and some incredible landscapes to enjoy. The bay is located at the foot of an incredible villa which made Dali fall in love with it and became his second home, this bay leads to one of the most visited and well-known natural harbors of the Catalan coast. Usually it is also the meeting point for divers.
The cultural alternatives which cadaqués offers are countless: visiting the Dali museum, the Natural Park of Cape Creus, the Lighthouse Cala Nans, the Castell de Sant Jaume...
At the beach of Gran and Esportal is where most of the tourism is focused, while in some others like Es Poal its rather the swimming, but what prevails is enjoying the views provided by the town. The main beaches in Cadaqués are of pebbles, which is not very comfortable for swimmers.
On the beach of Llané Gran and Petit, we find dark sand and gravel where the crowded boats of the fishermen are, surrounded by typical houses of Cadaqués.
As a quiet village, Cadaqués does not have an intense night life to enjoy local music and clubs, it is better to go to Girona. The main thing in Cadaqués is to soak up the bohemia atmosphere which is reigning there.

West Virginia Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse Kicks Off Annual Juror Appreciation Week
Charleston, W.Va. – In an effort to encourage and educate West Virginians about the importance of jury participation to our justice system, West Virginia Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (WV CALA) kicked off its annual Juror Appreciation Week today. The weeklong public education effort will stress the importance of the jury system and serving when summonsed.
"When West Virginians serve on juries, they become an important part of the judicial process. Citizens who serve as jurors come away from the experience with a better understanding and higher regard for the justice system. That's why WV CALA is proud to recognize Juror Appreciation Week," said Roman Stauffer, Executive Director of WV CALA.
Jury service contributes to the American system of justice and is an important form of service to local communities. WV CALA will encourage small businesses and employers to educate employees on what resources are available to them if they receive a jury summons.
Stauffer concluded, "It's our goal to improve the percentage of West Virginians who complete a jury service questionnaire and return it. Jury service is a duty of citizenship, similar to paying taxes and voting. Thank you to the thousands of citizens of West Virginia and the United States for making our country a symbol of justice. When given the opportunity to serve on a jury, I encourage you to answer the call."
West Virginia Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse is a nonprofit citizen watchdog group with 30,000 members interested in a broad range of civil justice issues. For more information, visit http://www.WVCALA.org.

Ocean County Press Release
TOMS RIVER – As Ocean County prepares for the Fourth of July, fireworks are once again a hot topic for the festivities celebrating the founding of our nation.
Despite the temptation, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders is asking parents to be extremely cautious with store-bought fireworks and instead celebrate the holiday by attending one of the many professional fireworks displays scheduled around the county.
"While they may be legal, sparklers and fireworks that are now available at many local stores are still dangerous," Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari said. "Even a sparkler burns at more than 1,000 degrees and can lead to serious injury."
According to federal statistics, fireworks injure more than 12,000 people every year throughout the United States. The vast majority of those injuries occur during the two weeks leading up to and following July 4.
"We have seen reports across the country of people who have seriously hurt themselves because the seemingly harmless firecracker they were holding suddenly exploded in their hand or near their face," Vicari said.
While sparklers, small smoke bombs and party poppers may now be sold and used in the state, other fireworks such as firecrackers and rockets remain illegal.
"Many types of fireworks look like toys and are marketed towards children, when they are anything but for kids," said Ocean County Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines. "Be wise and do not travel out of state and buy fireworks that are otherwise unavailable in New Jersey."
Possession of illegal fireworks by anyone but a licensed professional is a disorderly persons offense, but possession with the intent to sell is a fourth-degree offense, with a possible maximum penalty of 18 months imprisonment and fines up to $10,000.
"If you attempt to use these illegal devices, you are going to get hurt," said Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly, who is also Director of Law and Public Safety. "When you light that fuse, you never know what is going to happen. A rocket can fly out of control and strike a child or land on a roof and start a fire."
Most fireworks are made in China and many times the fuses are unreliable, he said.
"Don't risk injury to yourself or others," Kelly said. "Let's make sure everyone enjoys a safe and happy Fourth of July."
In addition, with many towns in Ocean County hosting shows during the holiday weekend, Vicari warned that residents should leave their pets at home.
"Many dogs and other animals are terrified of the loud noises made by fireworks," Vicari said.
The Humane Society of the United States has released guidelines on how to protect animals during the holiday weekend:
• Resist the urge to take your pet to fireworks displays.
• Do not leave your pet in the car. With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects – even death – in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.
• Keep your pets inside at home in a sheltered, quiet area. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure that you have removed any items that your pet could destroy or that would be harmful to your pet if chewed. Leave a television or radio playing at a normal volume to keep them company while you are attending Fourth of July picnics, parades, and other celebrations.
• If you know that your pet is seriously distressed by loud noises like thunder, consult with your veterinarian before July 4 for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he or she will experience during fireworks displays.
• Never leave pets outside unattended, even in a fenced yard or on a chain. In their fear, pets who normally would not leave the yard may escape and become lost, or become entangled in their chain risking injury or death.
• Make sure your pets are wearing identification tags so that if they do become lost, they can be returned promptly. Animals found running at-large should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.
"By following these simple rules, we make sure the holiday is enjoyable for both our family and our pets," Vicari said.
A listing of professional fireworks displays is posted on the county's tourism website at www.oceancountytourism.com.

Bin Salman limits his visit to Tunisia to only a meeting with Essebsi
28 November 2018| 20 Rabi ul Awwal| Middle East Monitor
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman arrived in the Tunisian capital Tunis on Tuesday afternoon. While officials have not disclosed its details and program, the visit comes amid popular demonstrations and campaigns rejecting it.
According to well-informed sources about the details of the visit, Anadolu Agency said that bin Salman will only meet with President Beji Caid Essebsi in Tunis, after arriving at 3 p.m. in Tunisia's local time.
According to previous statements by Saida Qarash, the spokesperson of the Tunisian government, the visit comes at the request of bin Salman himself.
The demonstrators accuse bin Salman of involvement in the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The centre of the Tunisian capital has been witnessing protests against the visit of bin Salman. Since Monday, civil rights activists, politicians, and students have been organising protests in the capital in rejection of bin Salman's visit. In addition, Tunisian lawyers have filed a case to prevent this visit while political parties, student organisations, human rights organisations and trade unions in Tunisia have issued statements rejecting the visit.
The protesters have raised slogans including:
• "People, citizens… Tunisia is not for sale,"
• "The people want to expel bin Salman,"
• "We do not welcome the murderer of the children of Yemen,"
• "The people want to criminalise normalisation."
Similarly, protesters raised the flags of Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania, Egypt, and Palestine.
The protest march, called upon by civil organisations and parties, including Al-Irada Movement Party, the Republican Party, and the National Commission for Supporting Arab Resistance and Opposing Normalization and Zionism – an independent organization – has started in front of the statue of Ibn Khaldoun in the centre of the capital and continued throughout Avenue Habib Bourguiba.
Since last Thursday, bin Salman has visited the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt as part of his first external visits after the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, 59, inside the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul in early October.
Saudi Arabia has been facing a major international crisis since it announced on 20 October that Khashoggi was assassinated in its consulate in Istanbul after 18 days of denial. Riyadh had presented conflicting stories about his death before it admitted killing him and dismembering Khashoggi's body following the failure of "negotiations" to persuade him to return to the kingdom.

7th continent feels like a Choose Your Own Adventure Book, plus a ton of card sorting to slow things down and make it less fun than that kind of solo experience. Ultimately, the playing is largely that of resource management and card sorting, and while the mystery/fog element is neat, the inconsistent art isn't appealing to me--some illustrations are roughly drawn while others resemble 90s computer models. The play style of "go everywhere, do everything, and the clues will eventually be found" also seems laborious rather than adventurous. And having the positive and negative outcomes shown on the cards before a decision is made really spoils the narrative bit by bit.
This gameplay is somehow both too linear and too open in that it requires specific things to be done in a massive system. The adventuring feels set up for right and wrong paths to achieve certain goals rather than a truly open story that I can live out with my character.
It's as if somebody is whispering "Keep to the script" when I wanna explore. Perdition's Mouth doesn't do this. Mage Knight doesn't do this. Even oldies like Barbarian Prince and rogue like Citadel of Blood don't do this.
It's a respectable and admirable achievement, but the play felt tedious very early on each time I played.

David and Rebekah Kelly
North Canterbury sheep and beef farmers, David and Rebekah Kelly run 9000 stock units on 2000 hectares of dryland hill country in Waiau.
"The great thing about having sat and committed this plan to paper is that we know what page we're on – we know that we're on the same page together and that as things change we can evolve that plan."
Graduate feedback
"Working on our plan together has meant we are now on the same page and working towards the same goals - plus it flagged up some things we wanted individually that the other didn't know about. The opportunity to have conversations that were important to our partnership that we would have otherwise not had. The tools for communication gave us both an insight into working with each others personality in a way that would benefit our relationship and the business."
Richard Morrison
To help us identify our values we independently drew a picture of what we want to achieve in farming. Remarkably but not surprisingly, my fiance's and my pictures looked very similar. Our set of values were also very similar. Family, Honesty, Inclusive, Innovative.

Deformations in the ear are congenital. Congenitally, one or both of the ears may be sticking out from the side of the head and lacking a normal fold.
Deformations in the ear are congenital. Congenitally, one or both of the ears may be sticking out from the side of the head and lacking a normal fold.
When looked at the head region from outside, disproportionalities are noticed in the ear form. Generally, the sizes of ears are the same for people who have prominent ears and who have normal ears. The surgical correction of these deformations and folds is called "Otoplasty" or "Prominent Ear Correction Surgery".
During the school age, ears of children are noticed so clearly that children make fun of each other. It's important for the psychology of our children that families follow whether their children, who have prominent ears, are mocked by their friends in the school. It's important that you receive support from psychologists for your children who experience psychological problems due to their prominent ears.
The purpose of Otoplasty is to change the shape of the ear. In the prominent ear correction surgery, the ear cartilages are given shape through permanent sutures from the back of the earlap.
While giving a normal new shape to the ear during the Otoplasty, some techniques use an incision right behind the ear while other techniques use an incision in front of the ear. The basis of the surgery is to give shape to the ear cartilage through permanent sutures from the back of the earlap. Therefore, the acquired shape becomes permanent.
Ear stands away from the head with a certain angle. In persons with prominent ears, the angle of the ear to the head may be more than it's supposed to be. When looked at our ears from behind, this excessive angle is clearer. Besides, the folds which need to be present at the upper half of the ear might have not developed.
What is the Suitable Age to Undergo Otoplasty?
Otoplasty or Prominent Ear Correction Surgery is the plastic surgery which can be performed earliest after one's birth. Since the children are mentally depressed due to their ears, these surgeries can be performed at very early ages.
Ears of a child at the age of 6 are very close to her/his ears at adulthood. Therefore, these surgeries can be performed earliest at the age of 6. In addition to that, prominent ear correction surgeries can be performed at any age.
When the prominent ear correction surgery is performed at early ages, the most important detail to be paid attention is to inform the children very well and speak with them clearly prior to the operation.
What is the Preferred Anaesthesia Method for Otoplasty?
Recovery Period of Prominent Ear Correction Surgery
Most of the patient are discharged from the hospital on the same day of the surgery. After removing the bandages, your doctor will inform you about how to take a shower. Some people use tennis sweatband or headband in order to protect their ears after the operation.
What should be Paid Attention After Otoplasty?
A special bandage is given to be used for one week following the operation. Normal look is completely acquired after a week..

"The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty."
Psalms 29:4 ESV
Do you know God's voice? Does he speak to you? Do you give Him space in your daily life to speak to you? I challenge you this week to give Him space to speak to you. Maybe it's meditating on His Word, maybe it is at the gym, or at your home in your normal routine. Ask Him to speak to you. I would like to know what he says to you. Share also with your ASC group or circle of Christian friends. My prayer for you this week is that you hear His voice and believe what He says about you.
"And the people said to Joshua, "The Lord our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey.""
Joshua 24:24 ESV
On Sunday, your kids heard the story of Peter visiting Cornelius from Acts 10.
God revealed to Peter through a vision that the gospel is not just for Jews but also for gentiles. Your kids were challenged to spend time with God by reading the Bible this week. They were challenged to give God time and space to speak to them this week. Ask your kids what God said to them. Share with them what He has said to you. Pray for them that they hear His voice above all the others clamoring for their attention.
Look ahead: Next week your kids will learn the story of Paul's Conversion and Baptism from Acts 9:1-25. Take some time to review this story with them before Sunday.
- Deborah Rowe, Director of Families on Mission

Purchasing ground beef can be a little confusing. Sometimes it's labeled as chuck, round, or sirloin. Other times a lean-to-fat ratio is given, such as 80/20 (usually ground chuck), 85/15 (ground round), or 90/10 (ground sirloin). To get the leanest ground beef, look for those labeled at least 90 percent lean. We used ground sirloin in this Tamale Pie recipe.

Coat a 10-inch round, oven-safe baking dish with cooking spray. To prepare filling, brown ground beef in a large skillet, removing any accumulating fat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic, and continue to cook until vegetables soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn, salsa, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine and heat through; about 3 to 4 minutes. Add beef mixture to prepared baking dish, smoothing into an even layer and top with shredded cheese. To prepare cornmeal topping, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil, and grated onion. Add milk mixture to cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined. Pour cornmeal topping evenly over beef and cheese filling and carefully spread into an even layer, covering filling completely. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes or until cornmeal topping is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. To serve, garnish each serving with 2 teaspoons sour cream and cilantro.
Yield: 8 servings

But it's a very important feature of the house and especially when you want to resale it.

Sand Drawing
Sand drawings are amazing to do and so versatile, from animation and 3D anamorphic illusions, to images that span an entire kilometre. We have created sand drawings that have involved hundreds of volunteers and others that were so powerful, they had the ability to make the global media.
3D Anamorphic Sand Drawings
3D anamorphic sand drawings allow those people that don't have access to a fancy helicopter to enjoy our images. We are now leaders in anamorphic beach art, and continue to develop our techniques and apply them to other forms of land art.
Animated Sand Drawing
When we learned how to rub out and re-draw a sand drawing we realised we could animate on a massive scale. What followed was a collaboration with Aardman, the makers of Wallace and Gromit, to make the world's largest stop motion animation film, GULP. We would definitely like to do more!
Giant Sand Drawings
For those with a helicopter this is for you! These images are so big that you will require a chopper to fly as high as it can to get the picture. We have had the privilege of making drawings up to a kilometre long and, let me tell you, such operations are not for the faint-hearted.
Abstract Beach Painting and Free Drawing
Sometimes it is nice to draw without a plan. By responding to the environment around you, the sand, the cliffs and the waves become your inspiration, this is the very essence of free drawing and abstract beach painting.
PR and Advertising Sand Art
We work with many different companies and brands for very different events. We can create all sorts of media friendly art pieces with our experience of simply trying something new. Our drawings don't just need to be on sand either.
Sand Drawing Workshops and Corporate Team Building
Sand drawings are fantastic for workshops and corporate team building events, as it is coastal art that really requires team collaboration and everyone at the end can be proud of the outcome.
For more information visit our workshop page.
Pages Of The Sea
Filmmaker Danny Boyle today announced details for The Pages of the Sea, commissioned by 14-18 NOW to mark the centenary of Armistice Day. On 11 November 2018, the public is invited to gather on beaches across the UK for an informal, nationwide gesture of remembrance for the men and women who left their home shores during the First World War.
Millions of people served in the First World War and many left from beaches around the UK. On Sunday 11 November, the public is invited to assemble at one of 30 beaches at low-tide to take part in a series of community-led events. Sand artists from Sand In Your Eye have designed 30 large scale portraits of casualties from the first World War which will be drawn into the sand at each location and washed away as the tide comes in. In addition, the public is invited to assemble at low-tide to watch the drawing, as well as creating their own silhouettes of people in the sand, remembering the millions of lives lost or changed forever by the conflict.
Here are a couple of films about some of the sand drawings we have done. There are many more in our gallery, including the world's largest stop motion animation.
