Well, '87 is when things start to get a little sparse. There are still some really good songs but the quantity of quality stuff encounters a steep drop-off. If you are interested why I started doing these Top 10 lists (and for the top 10 of 1980) check out my 1980 post. For the others click, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1986.
10. At This Moment, Billy Vera – As you know if you've been reading these lists, I'm a sucker for sappy love ballads – especially those that are of the baby-please-don't-leave variety. I'm also a sucker for pedal steel guitar. This song has a slow gospel feel to it that turns country when the pedal still kicks in and then changes yet again to 50's-style ballad when the horn section enters. The vocals display some of the most genuine emotion that you're going to find in a song from this era. The guy sounds like he's really hurting. If I remember correctly, the first time I heard this song was on an episode of Family Ties. Only after that did I start hearing it on the radio.
9. I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight, Cutting Crew – Alright, let's get one thing straight – chicks dig this song! If you wanted to get a girl in "the mood" back in 1987 all you had to do was pop this cassette in the car stereo and your night just got a little more interesting. The guitar in this song has that edgy, reverby 80's signature to it. The vocals aren't great in that they sound like they could be any of the androgenous Brit bands of the time. But the melody and overall production value of the song make up for that.
8. Tonight, Tonight, Tonight, Genesis – I kind of had a wierd relationship with Genesis. I liked pretty much every single they released but I never bought any of their albums. To further confuse things, sometimes I didn't know if a song was a Genesis or Phil Collins solo single. This song however was one that I had to own and so I bought it on 45, one of the few 45's I ever bought. This song has a similar feel to "In the Air Tonight"; real atmospheric and kind of menacing. The lyrics of the verses didn't seem to make much sense. "I'm comin' down, comin' down like a monkey" – what the hell does that mean?
7. Will You Still Love Me, Chicago – This is the first single from Chicago 18, as well as the moment that the group said "Peter who?" Despite Peter Cetera leaving the group the band continued their dominance of the mid to late 80's charts by pumping out another power ballad with a memorable, catchy melody. I mainly remember this song because a girl that I liked invited me to go to the Chicago concert with her and her church youth group. I thought that this was a sign that she was into me. Later though I found out she was interested in one of my friends who was one of those guys that no girls where ever interested in (you know the type I'm talking about). Regardless of this painful memory I still dig the song.
6. The Next Time I Fall, Peter Cetera & Amy Grant – Much like #7, this song hears Peter Cetera ask "Chicago who?" This was his second post-Chicago solo hit and his proof that he could come out with catchy, melodic power ballads on his own. This song caused quite a bit of controversy at my church. Amy Grant up to this point had been a Christian artist and many of the faithful thought that she was betraying her ideals by doing the mainstream crossover thing. My only problem with it was that she sounded really sexy which caused me to think about her in ways that made me feel dirty…but in a good way.
5. Notorius, Duran Duran – With the jangly disco guitar bit and the popping bass line this song saw Duran Duran back in a big way. The horns added a great layer to the song and the melody was up there with all of their great songs. And of course "Notorious" continues their tradition of lyrics that either don't make sense, are silly or both at the same time. Just a sample: "You own the money, you control the witness. I leave you lonely, don't monkey with my business." I hate it when people monkey with my business…I think.
4. The Lady In Red, Chris de Burgh – Chris de Burgh just sounds really cool and smooth in this song. This song is a straight-forward ballad and the only thing that makes it sound like an 80's tune is the atmospheric keyboard part in the background. Otherwise, I think it could have been a pop standard in any generation. This was a great one to slow dance to at the school social.
3. Mandolin Rain, Bruce Hornsby – Hornsby is another one of those artists that, although I like every single he released, I never bought any of his albums. For some reason this song sounds like Autumn to me. It makes me think of leaves changing colors, pickup football games on the weekend and starting to pull out the sweaters from the back of the closet. Of the two songs that charted for Hornsby in '87 (the other was his huge hit "The Way It Is") this one was by far the less popular. I like it better because it's more melodic and I never did like the preachiness of "The Way It Is".
2. Don't Dream It's Over, Crowded House – My wife is a huge Crowded House fan and would have killed me if I didn't include one of their songs on this list. However, I can happily say that I included "Don't Dream It's Over" without any coercion from her. I love this song. From the reverby guitar bit to the Hammond B3 organ solo that manages to sound classic and contemporary at the same time to the vocals, everything in this song works together to create a distinct sound. You won't confuse Crowded House with any other band from the 80's because they have a unique style that's all their own.
1. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, U2 – U2 finally made the big time with their release of The Joshua Tree in 1987. This is one of only two U2 songs that have reached #1 in the US; the other was "With Or Without You" from the same album. I'm a big U2 fan mainly due to a girl named Sydney that I was in Economics and Psychology classes with in high school. We didn't really run in the same circles, but both those classes had assigned seating and we sat next to each other in both of them. She knew I was into music and in a band and told me that I really needed to check them out. Before then I had heard U2 on the radio but hadn't bought any of their albums. I went out and picked up The Joshua Tree and War at the same time and was blown away. I picked this song over "With Or Without You" because I like the gospel theme of it. I always like the fact that U2 could put overt references to Jesus and Christianity in their songs and not suffer in popularity. It's got a very memorable melody and of course Bono's vocals are classic. This song would probably make my list of top 10 U2 songs if I was forced to make one.

The 1956-1957 football season was disappointing for the Tigers. South's offense had a hard time scoring.
The season opened against Central. Central took advantage of many mistakes and won easily 21-0.
South faced North in the next game. South showed improvement and handed the Polars a 27-7 defeat.
South hosted Vocational for the Tigers homecoming game. Both defenses controlled the game with only once score allowed. South sent the fans home happy with a 7-0 win.
South took on West. This was the last game that the Tigers would be in. Both teams struggled to score. Because of this, the final was a 6-6 tie.
South finished the season being shut out in the last three games. Edison won 20-0. The worst loss of the season was to Roosevelt 34-0. Henry finished the season winning 12-0.
South finished the season with a 2-4-1 record in eighth place. No one was named to the All-Conference team. Lester Barnard finished his 29th season as head coach. Walt Butterwick, Jim Lushine and Al Pihlstrom were the assistant coaches.

Meet the Author of "The Break Up Recipe"
1. Hi Munir, how are you? Please can you tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello and thanks for having me. I am an author. I wrote a book called, The Break Up Recipe and I also write relationship columns for WeAreTheCity, Bella Naija and The Naked Convos. Outside of that I like to spend time with my wife, family and friends and I love movies like some people love crack.
2. Tell us about your book 'The Break Up Recipe'.
The Break Up Recipe is a romantic comedy written from the point of view of a man. It was written after I went through a break up that left me in financial difficulty and I decided to do something about it. It's had a wonderful reception on Amazon UK (134 5 star reviews) and been featured in several publications worldwide. Mark Mutton, the central character is someone who people either love or hate.
3. You reached as far as the quarter-finals for the grow category in 2015's 'Pitch to Rich' competition. How did you find this journey?
It was a lot of hard work to get there but now that it's over, I'm moving on to the next challenge to grow my business. It was a wonderful opportunity that I learnt a lot from.
4. What was the main reason for applying for this competition?
To take an independently successful business into the mainstream and provide jobs for people who deserve them. It's something that would have offered a quicker path to my target but I'm back to the drawing board.
5. For 9 months, you wrote your book whilst still working a full-time job. How did you manage this?!
Through determination and insanity. I kept to a routine which I stuck to. I went to work, then to the gym in the evenings and then pounded my keyboard until the early hours of the morning. It was a fun way to write as it was quiet all around me. Once you start the routine it's easy to stick to it as you become used to it.
6. Any tips for overcoming writer's block?
Writers block isn't something that I have experienced yet but if I did I would stop trying to write and spend time around other people. This would hopefully allow me to refresh my brain and start writing after a break.
7. Is there a particular audience that 'The Break Up Recipe' is aimed at?
It's aimed at anybody male or female who has ever been in a relationship as they will be able to identify with some of the things that do occur in the book. It's a comedy written with the intention of making people have a giggle about break ups and other aspects of dating.
8. I can fit 20 Maltesers in my mouth. Have you got any unusual talents?
None that can be printed! Only joking, I can do pitch perfect voice impersonations of most people I meet.
9. How did you market the release of your book?
I got naked and put the book cover between my legs to generate a talking point and after that I posted religiously all over social media to raise awareness. I also handed out 10000 flyers to people in the streets and wrote 5000 emails to blogs and journalists to try and get as many interviews as possible.
10. Any more book ideas in the pipeline?
Two sequels to follow and then I will be writing on other subjects. The sequel will be due out soon. I have been concentrating on other work but will now be turning my hands to getting this bad boy out there too.
11. If all goes to plan, where do you see yourself in 12 months?
Expanding my audience and offering opportunities for other creative people to get their work out there. As a creative, it's incredibly hard to get your first interview but I'm happy to help people pop those cherries.

Join Cleveland Public Power (CPP) October 3-9 in celebration of Public Power Week. The week will include daily give-a-ways for customers, a renaming ceremony and the annual Public Power Week Open House on Saturday, October 9 from noon – 4 p.m. at the utility's Eastside Service Center, 743 E. 140th Street.
"Public Power Week is a chance
for Cleveland Public Power to tell the `public power' story. To showcase the importance of offering top-notch service that is competitive and owned by the community it serves," said Ivan Henderson, Commissioner of Cleveland Public Power.
As a public utility Cleveland Public Power strives to offer the best service,but also to be a good neighbor in the community, and the annual Open House is one form of giving back to the residents of Cleveland. "We are proud to be a public power community," Barry Withers, City of Cleveland Public Utilities Director said. "Our focus goes beyond serving customers. We serve the community by providing them with an alternative source of power, as well as educating them on the advancements taking place in renewable energy and energy efficiency and conservation," he continued.
To continue educating its customers on the importance of energy efficiency and conservation, CPP will give away energy efficiency kits to customers visiting its lobby during Public Power Week. Shelley M. Shockley, Marketing Manger explained, "This year we have operated on the theme of `Conserving energy today for power tomorrow' and we thought it would be fitting to carry that through Public Power Week. So randomly selected customers will receive small kits that we hope will lead them to utilize more efficient measures in their homes."
This year's Public Power Week events also include the renaming of its newest substation, which is part of a $66 million expansion project. The Holton Substation located on Holton Road will be officially renamed the George S. Pofok Substation during a ceremony in the Carl B. Stokes Public Utilities Building Auditorium at 10 a.m. on Thursday, October 7. Mayor Frank G. Jackson and representatives from public power agencies will be on hand to commemorate the occasion.
Pofok is a former Commissioner of CPP and worked during the 1970s and 80s to fight off attempts to sell or lease the utility to the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company. His commitment to CPP and his vision to expand the utility led to the expansion of the 1990s and continues with the present expansion.
The Power Week activities will culminate with the annual Open House Celebration on Saturday, October 9. The afternoon of activities includes demonstrations on how power is transmitted from substations into homes, as well as rides in a Bucket Truck and refreshments.
For more information on Public Power Week activities follow CPP on Facebook here, on Twitter – @cppgreen and on the web here.

Can the society of any agricultural settlement (such as Çatal Hüyük p.43 in textbook) before about 5000 BCE be described as a "civilization?"?
Why or why not?
Here was our definition of civilization.
Should contain all or most of the following characteristics:
- Cities.
- The state: a central governing authority in which a relatively small group of people exercised, to some extent, command over the economic and political life of everyone else.
- Job specializations (Part of the population have jobs or professions other than growing food or herding animals.)
- Institutions for collecting, storing, and distributing surplus products, staffed by officials and managers.
- Social class hierarchy – Typically, a small privileged elite occupied the top rank, the vast majority of farmers, herders, and laborers the bottom.
- Institutionalized religion.
- Monumental public architecture.
- Writing.
- Creation and accumulation of knowledge in mathematics, engineering, astronomy, and other technical and scientific fields.
Also see Google Classroom for the notes written by Alex during our class discussion.

The neutron is a subatomic hadron particle that has the symbol n or n0. Neutrons have no net electric charge and a massslightly larger than that of a proton. With the exception of hydrogen-1, the nucleus of every atom consists of at least one or more of both protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are collectively referred to as "nucleons". Since interacting protons have a mutual electromagnetic repulsion that is stronger than their attractive nuclear interaction, neutrons are often a necessary constituent within the atomic nucleus that allows a collection of protons to stay atomically bound (see diproton &neutron-proton ratio). Neutrons bind with protons and one another in the nucleus via the nuclear force, effectively stabilizing it. The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is referred to as its neutron number, which reveals the specific isotopeof that atom. For example, the abundant carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, whereas the rare radioactivecarbon-14 isotope also has 6 protons but, instead, 8 neutrons. Elements may be found in nature as only one isotope or with as many as 10 isotopes (Manganese and Tin, respectively).
While the bound neutrons in nuclei can be stable (depending on the nuclide, free neutrons are unstable; they undergo beta decay with a mean lifetime of just under 15 minutes (881.5±1.5 s). Free neutrons are produced in nuclear fission and fusion. Dedicated neutron sources like neutron generators, research reactors and spallation sources produce free neutrons for use in irradiation and in neutron scatteringexperiments. Even though it is not a chemical element, the free neutron is sometimes included in tables of nuclides.
The neutron has been key to the production of nuclear power. The neutron was discovered in 1932, and in 1933, it was realized that it might mediate a nuclear chain reaction. In the 1930s, neutrons were used to produce many different types ofnuclear transmutations. When nuclear fission was discovered in 1938, it became clear that, if the process also produced neutrons, this might be the mechanism to produce the neutrons for a chain reaction. This was proven in 1939, opening the path to nuclear power production. These events and findings led directly to the first self-sustaining, man-made, nuclear chain reaction (Chicago Pile-1, 1942) and to the first nuclear weapons (1945).

Access to advice will be the key determinant of the success of George Osborne's radical pensions overhaul and is likely to undermine the reforms and prevent consumers from benefitting in the form of increased retirement income, according to a majority of self-invested pension firms.
At the recent annual conference of Sipps trade body the Association of Member-Directed Pension Schemes, a clear majority of members polled said they believed the changes had the potential to result in higher incomes, but the largest share of members stated that they ultimately would not.
Some 67 out of 98 members that responded said the Budget has the potential to result in higher average retirement incomes but only 25 said they actually would in practice, with 40 saying they would not improve incomes and 30 saying they could not be sure.
Neil MacGillivray, head of technical support unit at James Hay Partnership and chairman of Amps, says the disparity is all down to advice.
Speaking to FTAdviser, he said: "The bottom line is the changes that come in have the potential to improve people's retirement incomes but actually will people benefit from the changes?
"There is concern as to whether they will take advice. Without proper advice, people will make the wrong decisions. We have advised, non-advised and the worst is the ill-advised.
"The general feeling is people will be a lot better off but that will be down to advice. There is a real, real concern I think that yes it is positive, yes [there is] potential for people to get a better income, but will they actually?"
Mr MacGillivray said that without guidance and proper advice there are concerns people will "strip out their money and pay more tax than they need to".
He adds that phased drawdown could me more tax efficient, which emphasises that there are strategies to make people better off "but only where the take advice".
When asked whether he means independent advice or if he is referring to the government's 'guidance guarantee', Mr MacGillivray said that at this moment in time it is not clear what the guidance will look like.
He said: "We don't know the detail yet: what form this will take, costs, will people have the information to make informed choices? The government has to decide this in less than a year."
Chancellor George Osborne promised in this year's Budget that from April 2015 a 'guidance guarantee' will be introduced.
It is currently in a consultation phase, but as it stands individuals approaching retirement will receive "free and impartial face-to-face guidance to help them make the choices that best suit their needs".
Successive studies among more than 2,000 providers have shown a desire among some consumers for full service advice and a consistent core of around 25 per cent that take advice now and will seek to do in the future, but most of the remainder had no interest in paying for advice.
This has led to concern from some quarters over the nature of the guidance guarantee for non-advised retirees, many of whom do not understand the variety of product options.

Laura Pritchard-Compton is the Founder and Executive Director of Urban Perform. We asked her for a little Expert Advice:
What advice would you give to someone who feels overwhelmed by the competition? It is not about the competition. It's about knowing yourself and knowing that you are doing your best each day. We are all uniquely made with a unique purpose. If you are following your inner desires then you are fulfilling your purpose.
What top three tips would you like to pass along for those who have just started to use social media? 1. Create a posting schedule to schedule things in advance. 2. Be sure to interact with others. Do not just push out your information without interacting with other individual, businesses, and organizations. 3. Be patient with yourself. The learning curve is big.
When you think of the best people to work with, what traits do they share? The best people to work with are passionate, hard-working, and honest.
Give a budding entrepreneur your best hiring and firing business practices: When making the final decision to hire, use your gut. If you have reservations, be patient and keep looking. It will save you lots of time and money in the long term. Be sure to keep a record of performance evaluations so you have something to reference when letting someone go.
Entrepreneurs often say that "you can't do it all." What three things do you always outsource? My biggest areas of weakness are numbers, writing, and technology, so I outsource bookkeeping/payroll/taxes, grant writing, and videography.
What business book would you recommend to someone who is either about to launch or in the early growth stage? Let's have Lunch Together by Marshall Howard. It's about building more powerful relationships.
What are your thoughts on raising capital? Since I started a nonprofit, we had to raise capital (in the form of donations) to get started. I think it's probably a necessary step for most nonprofit start-ups.
What piece of invaluable advice did you receive that you would like to pass on to women pursuing their dream? Find a business partner.
My best advice to a woman launching a venture is… You will say the same thing on repeat multiple times a day, every day, for years! Always say it with the same excitement and passion; you never know who you are meeting!
What would your advice to your younger self be? When you are anxious, do not keep pushing. Stop, center yourself, and find peace before moving forward. When you are anxious, it was always because you needed to stop and breathe.
Finally, please share your top five tips that would benefit an entrepreneurial woman launching or growing her business:
- Listen to the community you are serving. Allow the community to mold your service to their needs.
- You will transition from working in your business to on your business. If this is hard for you, take the time to grieve this transition.
- Do not stop exercising.
- Be a doer. To accomplish goals you have to be a doer, not a talker. Always do the extra work and follow through.
- Find a mentor.

In the endtimes movies, and probably in endtime preaching as well, the underlying assumption is that whoever takes the mark also betrays others that didn't and, conversely, whoever betrays others is the one who actually took it. But I don't understand why this equivalence is being made. In fact I can think of some reasons why they wouldn't be the same people:
1. As far as taking the mark yet not betraying others, it can be due to at least two of the following reasons:
a) A believer might take the mark out of the fear of being beheaded, yet they wouldn't betray others since they aren't being threatened with beheading in this case
b) A non-believer might take the mark because they don't see anything wrong with it, yet they won't betray people because they see betraying as morally wrong
2. As far as betraying people without taking the mark himself, it can also happen. Namely,
a) If you betray others you can repent from it, but if you take the mark yourself you can't repent any more. So they might be betraying others in hopes for the government to be nicer to them so that they can find a way to avoid taking it themselves.
b) If you are pissed at someone you can betray that person out of spite, yet you won't take the mark yourself no matter what since you don't want to go to hell yourself.
Well, those are just a few random scenarios out of several others. But, last but not least, why do I even have to explain why those two kinds of people "aren't" the same: I can just turn it around and ask YOU to explain me why they should be? It seems like the movie-makers made just a completely arbitrary assumption that those two groups of people are the same and people just took it without question. Its like me saying that thiefs and rapists are the same -- without giving a single shread of evidence to back it up -- and then asking you to disprove it.
But what are your thoughts on this?

Russia had never paid much attention to the Treaty of Kars, signed between the USSR and Turkey in October of 1921. Only once, in 1943, Joseph Stalin tried to eliminate the Kars agreements, but he met the stiff resistance from the anti-Hitler coalition. The question of a possible denunciation of the Treaty of Kars, hastily concluded as many other international agreements since the establishment of the Soviet regime, has been again raised in the social and political circles of Russia after the introduction of sanctions against Turkey in response to the destruction of the Russian Su-24 plane by the Turkish Air Force. Ankara does not understand all the complexity of the possible consequences, — says Armen Gasparyan, a Russian radio commentator, historian and publicist. «The denunciation will be a very big geopolitical catastrophe because the Turkish state, in the form in which it exists today, is largely the product of the Treaty of Kars. Ankara is the least prepared for the fact that someone in Russia will start to discuss the possible perspectives of the denunciation,» told RUSARMINFO Armen Gasparyan. The Russian historian thinks that in the line of Turkey's current behavior, the denunciation of the Treaty of Kars can become a serious subject for discussions in the Russian society. «If this story begins to spin in Russia, I do not exclude that it will become a ticking time bomb. Since 1992, the contract to some extent has been discussed by Georgian politicians. Now, understandably, Russia has started to talk about it,»said Armen Gasparyan. Note: According to the Treaty of Kars, Turkey departed the territory of Armenia with a total area about 30 thousand square kilometers. The document does not have a statute of limitations. Yerevan has not ratified the Treaty of Kars and does not recognize the current border between Turkey and Armenia.

The Year 8s have been learning how to code using Scratch with Allan during term 1 this year. This online software allows students to learn the basics of coding.
Students used their knowledge of Scratch to create their own simple games based on existing games such as Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Pong or created their own original game.
The learning experienced while developing these games included:
- Learning through trial and error
- The importance of persistence
- Breaking down big problems into smaller more manageable ones
- Analysing errors and think about ways to correct them
- Collaboration
Teacher quote "One of the most pleasing and perhaps unexpected outcomes I witnessed was the number of students who quickly became the expert at a specific area and then became the teacher helping other students to apply specific code to help their game. The idea that computer programmers are solitary people was quickly dispelled as the students realised the power of collaboration."
The video below shows a range of games created by the students.
Game 1 – Tic Tac Toe
Game 2 – Maze Runner
Game 3 – Pong
Game 4 – Donkey Kong

Sydney woman Marcela Castaneda has told a NSW Supreme Court jury her fiance choked her so hard she could not scream in the moments before she fatally plunged a kitchen knife into his chest.
The jury was this week directed to find Ms Castaneda not guilty of murdering long-time partner Gregory Peck in February 2013 in their western Sydney home, but she remains on trial for manslaughter.
The 33-year-old sobbed and shook in the witness box on Wednesday as she told of her "panic" before the killing.
Ms Castaneda testified she called their wedding off that night, February 22 2013, and told Mr Peck: "I don't want you here anymore."
"All of a sudden I could feel his hands around me," she said.
"I could feel pressure around my neck and I was struggling to breathe, and I could feel him on top of me ... I couldn't scream."
She said her fear intensified when Mr Peck tried to follow her into the kitchen.
"That scared me, because he'd never come after me before. So then when I saw the knife, I just grabbed it," she said.
Ms Castaneda gave evidence she tried to lead Mr Peck from their home at knife-point - but when he "lunged" at her she was terrified and tried to fend him off with the blade.
"I thought he was going to hit me," she said, as family members sitting in the public gallery wiped away tears.
"I was waiting for the impact, I was bracing ... I opened my eyes and looked up, and I saw he just stood there for a while, and then he turned around and he mumbled something under his breath."
The knife was still in his chest, she said.
It was then, Ms Castaneda says, that she realised Mr Peck was seriously hurt and called an ambulance.
But he could not be saved.
The trial continues.

Why Do Smart and Successful Women Struggle In Love?
Do Smart and Successful Women Struggle With Love?
Much of the entertainment world was shocked when long-time bachelor George Clooney finally got married to the smart and successful, Amal Alamuddin. Granted she is beautiful, too, but so were all of his previous girlfriends, so she isn't unusual in that respect. What was part of the pleasant surprise (besides him finally committing) was that she was well-educated and highly successful in her own career.
This highly publicized match suddenly gave validation, and much needed hope, to all intelligent and successful women that were still waiting to meet their soulmate. See? Men DO love smart, successful women.
Then Why Is Love Still So Tough For Smart Ladies?
Not so fast, though. It isn't as simple as that. When I did some digging on the web, I found some very contradicting responses. I found a Quora forum where men gave a resounding, "Yes!" that they love intelligent women.
And I also found a 2015 study by Park, Young, and Eastwick that demonstrated that men were more attracted to women more intelligent than them from afar, but were less attracted to them when those same women were nearby.
Disappointing results to say the least. So what gives, Clooney? What made Amal the one for you? (And, yes, I'm unfairly and very unscientifically assuming that Amal is more intelligent than Clooney in this scenario.)
I hoped to provide more actual evidence to illuminate some wisdom around this enigma of why it seems men love but don't really love intelligent and successful women. However, given there's so much gray area and no substantial evidence on this topic, I'm going just to relay a few important points I've heard from men personally and that I've observed in the years I've been coaching smart, successful women.
What do men say about smart, successful women?
There are two comments from male friends over the years that stick out in my memory:
"She's been in business so long; she just doesn't know how to be sexy anymore."
This was a male friend that was set up on a blind date with a successful, corporate woman. He said she was great; she just wasn't sexy. No sexy, no interest. She was so tuned into her masculine qualities that made her so successful in her career that she neglected her feminine attributes that would attract men. So in her particular case, it wasn't her intelligence or success that turned him off, rather it was her lack of femininity.
"She was bossy, and I don't like being bossed around."
When I asked a friend why he didn't hit it off with a highly intelligent woman he was introduced to he said he immediately picked up on her bossiness and what he perceived was her "analyzing" him. Again, it wasn't that her intelligence turned him off, but rather the qualities that made her great in her career were turns off in love.
What I've noticed about many smart, successful women in love and relationships.
In addition to what the guys above told me, over the years of coaching intelligent and driven women, the ONE commonality I've noticed that seems to work against attracting the right partner is trying to make love happen, strive for it, like it's any other business-related pursuit.
In my opinion, many smart, career women are so used to achieving with this approach but don't know how to "shut it off" in the dating scenario. Unfortunately, this approach has her in chase-mode, going for the wrong man, for the wrong reasons, and closes her off to the man that could potentially love her and offer her the world.
Trusting and having patience while remaining open to the love that presents itself is an enormous paradigm shift for the analytical, independent woman who's used to getting everything done herself.
How can intelligent and successful women go after AND stay open to love?
By taking small actions that might lead you to meet your soulmate within your control. This could be asking friends to set you up, going to events, joining Meetup groups, online dating, etc. This is where your brain can be deliberate about finding love.
Then sit back, enjoy the journey, and trust that the right person for you will come at just the right time. Be open to someone that's genuinely interested in getting to know you. That's the man who will love you for your in-depth mind and your open heart.
George Clooney recently told David Letterman that he didn't initially think Amal had any interest in him and that they began their friendship just emailing each other. Perhaps she only played it cool; we have no idea.
But I'd like to imagine that she just relaxed knowing that even if nothing developed between them it was okay because she knew she was terrific, had her purpose in life (humanitarian work), and was ready to be open to the man who wanted to marry her.

Good movers do more than just pick up items from one point to another. They make the move as convenient and as hassle-free as possible combined with excellent customer service.
When to Tip a Mover
It is advisable to tip the people who are doing the actual move and lifting objects from one point to another and not the moving company, notes The Spruce. Some people tip the people who actually helped them with the move despite getting poor customer service from the management of the moving company. When it comes to tipping, separate the workers from the company for which they work.
How Much to Tip
Movers are paid according to the time they take to move and the challenges they encounter during the move including carrying heavy height through several flights of stairs and moving awkward-shaped items. Total amount to tip should range between 5 and 10 percent of the total moving cost, says Street Easy. For the movers to get tips that are 10 percent of the total cost of the move, they should offer services beyond the expectation, such as unpacking or careful handling of precious, fragile items. Always give each worker his or her own tip by hand. The tip should be distributed equally among the workers. This helps to show that each mover is individually appreciated for his/her efforts.
Selecting Movers
Movers should be on time, respect clients' items and be ready to account for missing or damaged items. They should replace lost broken items. Movers who do not meet client requirements do not deserve a tip.
Provide Refreshments and Food
Consider providing drinks and refreshments to movers, regardless of whether they deserve a tip or not, says CNBC. Provide food for moves extending beyond lunchtime. If the move is past lunchtime, have snacks available for the movers. Water should also be provided with recyclable cups for the movers to use.
Treat the Movers
Always remember to ask the movers about the type of food they prefer before buying them lunch or any other meal, notes the Guardian. A good number of movers would not mind having pizza or other fast foods for lunch or any other meal. Avoid offering alcohol to movers because that is not only against professional policies, but it may also prevent them from conducting their duties efficiently. Accidents caused by working while impaired may lead to costly litigation and fines.
Appreciating Movers
Some movers may deserve extra recognition or appreciation for their services. Although they may not demand the extra appreciation or recognition, tipping them extra is a terrific way of showing that their efforts are especially appreciated. There is no set rule on how much to tip such movers, says Angie's List. The quality of the move should determine the amount to be tipped.
Many people find moving to be hectic and demanding. The people trying to help with a move often go through various challenges It is only polite to tip the people who help with a move.

Here's How Much the Priciest Toll Roads, Bridges, and Tunnels Cost in the United States
What'll it cost to drive the full length of these toll roads?
There's nothing like having a city in the rearview mirror and the open road ahead. Burdens lift from the mind, the speedometer needle climbs, and the soul lets out its yawp. Until-in the distance-a tollbooth lurks, a wretched reminder that we are all cogs in a machine that requires constant funding to keep the potholes from swallowing us whole.
Here, from the Federal Highway Administration's most recent accounting of our nation's toll roads, is a survey of the most expensive ways to ply these United States. (Prices listed are for the road's full length, are from 2018, and are ordered from least to most expensive.) Avoid the tolls or tolerate them; the choice is yours. Just don't let the tax collector stifle your yawp.
What'll it cost to drive the full length of these toll roads?

Denver Architecture Foundation
I have some big news!
As most of you know, I have always done things differently. I am much more than your typical agent. I am a preservationist, MCM Advocate, and MCM designer whose designs look like magazine ads from the 1950s—but with functionality, by today's standards, that is beyond futuristic.
Because of this passion, and advocacy for these homes, I caught the eye of a local foundation that does exactly what I aspire to do. They educate the public, and advocate for the preservation of Denver's built history, and legacy. This organization is called the Denver Architecture Foundation (DAF). They are most widely known for putting on Denver's annual Doors Open Denver event, and they also do so much more.
As of January 2018, I am beyond elated and proud to have been elected to the Denver Architecture Foundation's Board of Directors. I look forward to learning even more about the built history my home city, infusing DAF with my MCM passion, and helping shape a built legacy that everyone in Denver can be proud of!
Visit DAF's website at DenverArchitecture.org and follow them on Facebook and Instagram to learn more about the great things that they do, participate in the many events that they host, and most of all, I would love it if you would become a member to support their cause while you're there!

Matt & Kathryn- Maternity Session- Monmouth County NJ
Michelle Mullins
I am so excited to share this one with you all! Over the past three years or so Matt and Kathryn and my husband and myself have been celebrating our adult life milestones together. We got engaged, married and pregnant all within a few months of each other. It has been so much fun sharing in these life events with them. Fun fact: we both had our weddings in barns on just about the hottest days of the year. And fittingly enough, it was freezing during our shoot! They were troopers though and handled it really well. Yesterday, January 14th, I joined Matt and Kathryn at a local park to capture some pictures of them with their little bun and their fur baby Pepper. Unfortunately we were approached by another park goer who informed us dogs were not permitted in the park, so Pepper had to leave prematurely. Thankfully we got some pictures before she was banished. Poor Pepper.
It was such an honor to document this special time in their life and I am just so incredibly happy for them. Their little boy is so lucky to have them and their amazing family. I have gotten to know Kathryn's family really well over the past few years and they are seriously the nicest people. This little boy is set. Matt and Kathryn are going to make amazing parents. I know this because they are the best aunt and uncle to their nieces and nephew. Check out the sweetness below and show them some love <3

A fireplace is an integral part of a cozy home, without which the vicious, dark and long winter evenings would not be so cozy and warm, and the holidays, bringing friends and relatives close to the fireplace, would not really be a significant accent. However, it is important not only to have a fireplace at home but also that it was of high quality and heats for a long time.
A nice accent for the home can become a rustic fireplace made of a stone. The idea to add a rustic fireplace to your premises will make your home inside look beautifully. It will not only spread a warmth and coziness in your home but also will make your friends and family feel welcome. You can be sure, your rustic fireplace will capture the attention of everyone who will see it.
Having a rustic fireplace in any way does not mean that you have to live like in a shack. Rustic style is suited for any home. So, if you have not any ideas coming up for the fireplace design, look at pictures and maybe you will find any suitable for your home.

Erica Tober
If the East Nasties had a Homecoming Queen, it would be Erica Tober. This girl is enthusiastic and effusive, a great cheerleader, friendly and outgoing, and pretty. See? Erica, I hereby crown you. Spending the majority of her childhood in San Francisco, the move to Atlanta during high school was probably about as fun as licking the sidewalk. But she made the best of it, becoming a competitive swimmer and a more casual member of the high school track team.
College brought her to Vanderbilt, where she studied communications and ran on her own, but only for fun and fitness. She trained for the Atlanta Half-Marathon by herself, but backed out at the last minute – because honestly, who would want to run a race alone?* The next year, she trained for the Country Music Half, only to develop severe tendonitis in her ankle and wind up in 3 months of physical therapy.
But 2009 was her year, and after training with the East Nasties since last September, Erica completed totally rocked her first half-marathon last month. And she calls it the best decision she's ever made, tied with…
Adopting Cody the dog! Cody was very surprised to win third place in the Purity Dairy Dash, but the medal don't lie.
When Erica isn't at her job doing marketing for Village Real Estate, or running, or hanging out with Cody, she is probably cooking or reading – two of her favorite things. She has also helped put together an East Nasty team for the Bourbon Chase relay in October – if you're interested in being an alternate, or driving a team van (finally, something my style), let her know!
*Oh, hello, casual passerby of this blog. You are invited to run with the East Nasties!

Sucky mood
I slept through the night, finally but I woke up around 6 because my bladder needed to be relieved. I also took some pain meds as I was hurting. Doesn't seem like this flare up is going to settle down anytime soon. I got up too late to take my blood pressure pills. I just didn't want to get out of bed. I still don't. I am feeling very depressed.
The CRPS office called me back today. They said they need a clinical referral before they could set up an appointment. I emailed my psychiatrist and she was willing to send it but I think it's too complicated for her. She kept on asking specific questions and I answered them but then didn't get a response. I had emailed my PCP and the secretary emailed me back saying that the information was in my record. The doc just had to access it. I was like duh but they need a referral or they won't see me. She is going to bring it up with my PCP and go from there. I am aggravated. No where on the CRPS specialist's site does it list a clinical referral to see her. Just another obstacle. I don't have the patience to deal with it.
I made a grilled cheese for lunch. Surprisingly, I didn't burn it. It came out perfect. I filled my water bottle with iced tea. I am going to try and drink more today as I didn't really do so yesterday. I am feeling really tired so I am going to nap after I write this. My mother is making chicken cutlets for supper, least I hope she is. Sometimes she changes her mind and makes a stir fry.
I reserved the car for tomorrow to go to my ex-therapist's office to collect my things. I will have the car for a few hours just so I can ride around some. I want to go to Walmart and buy some pajama shorts and regular shorts so I don't always wear jeans.
My ankle is just throbbing right now. I can't stand it. I am going to stop here so I can rest. Talk to you guys later.

HTML, CSS or hex color code for color "Slimy Green" is #299617
|Hex code
|( 111.5° , 0.85% , 150% )
Colors used in web pages are represented using RGB (red, Green, blue) triplet. Each of the primary color component (red, green and blue are the primary colors) is represented using one byte. So, in a color code, there are 3 bytes (24 bits). The first byte is the red component and the next byte is of green and the next one that of blue.
The byte value for each color component can be represented using numbers from 0 - 255 or hexadecimal numbers 0 - ff. The hexadecimal value is preferred because it is quite compact and is often used in programming.
In the case of the color "Slimy Green" the hexadecimal representation is #299617. The hex code #299617 is equivalent of the RGB representation rgb(41,150,23)
You can use the hex code in HTML to change the text color or background color. for example, the code below changes the text color to Slimy Green

Winter is a harsh phase for everyone who is living too close to comfort to the poles. It can be harsh and tiring, and with the global warming it is unpredictable. Usually the winter and other seasons came and went in fixed dates and months, and the unpredictability that has comedown has made it harder to prepare for seasons properly. Here are some maintenance ideas to keep you on your toes for the oncoming winter.
Rid yourself of the pests and vermin sneaking in
Winter is a season for anyone and anything to take refuge in warmth. And as there are heaters working in houses, pests like to hide inside. Early preventative measures will ensure that you do not run into a mouse or a cockroach in the middle of the night when digging for a snack in winter cold nights. Make sure to take your time fixing squeaking floorboards, close up any holes and gaps using foam spray, closing utility and pipe holes and the ventilation systems.
If you have weather stripping and mortar and other items around the basement areas and windows then you will need to replace these things. Clutter must be taken care of, especially in the basement, attic and garage areas where things tend to linger on seemingly forever. Moisture accumulating areas like drainage, plumbing, drains or leaking spots must be covered properly.
Check the heater
During the 'fix squeaky floorboards' phase, you must also check the heater to make sure that it is working and that it heats up the area it is supposed to. Calling heater maintenance is also a good idea for guaranteeing the heater working through the winter months as the maintenance companies will be too busy during these months.
Stock up
Winter stocks of items that do not degrade easily (nonfood items) like canned food items, toilet paper, toothbrush and toothpaste, shower items, clothing, and other amenities must be bought at least a month ahead (unless you fancy cleaning the car and driving in the cold). Then you would need items for taking care of the snow outside like sidewalk salt bags, shovels, snow blowers, rakes, windshield cleaner and other things. These items tend to run out like hot cakes the colder it gets outside.
Pipe freezing is also another common occurrence during the cold winter so call the plumber and run a maintenance and preventative setup for your plumbing. Otherwise you can just follow a DIY tutorial. Also make sure to take your flu shots and other prescription medication stocked up while you are the grocery shopping for winter hibernation.

Olo · Sep 4th 2019
At Olo we build an online food ordering platform used by many of the country's largest restaurant chains, reaching millions of consumers. Chances are if you've ordered directly from a restaurant brand's app or website, we've made that happen. Many of these restaurant chains hire software development teams to create a wide variety of custom applications and websites that integrate with Olo's APIs. Likewise, the emergence of third party restaurant marketplaces and delivery services has opened new sales channels for restaurant chains, and Olo enables those channels via integrations to our APIs. We also work with a broad array of food delivery providers, POS vendors, and loyalty platform providers who integrate their solutions into the Olo Platform to enable a complete digital ordering experience. Working on Olo's Developer Support team will give you the opportunity to assist developers from the most innovative and notable tech companies in the food space.
Olo is transforming the digital ordering landscape for restaurant chains in an ever-evolving ecosystem, and we're looking for a talented engineer and support specialist to join our team in the role of a Developer Support Engineer to help us achieve our vision.

You will serve as a technical interface to our development partners, supporting their ability to incorporate Olo services into their applications and solutions via our APIs. Specifically, you will answer daily technical questions from a wide variety of integration partners related to the functional behavior of our APIs, and you will investigate and resolve problems they report with their integration.
You will evolve our Developer Portal to provide a complete technical repository of information, documentation, and tools that our partners will use to incorporate Olo online ordering into their products.
This is a unique role that requires a special combination of responsibilities: daily developer support, great documentation writing, and the ability to both interpret and write quality software.

Taking a vacation
Prendre des vacances, Urlaub machen, tomar unas vacaciones. In any language it means the same-relaxation and a break from the same old routine.
We made our way to Ft.Lauderdale and we were ready to board the Holland America ship, the Nieuw Amsterdam.
We had had a full day at sea before reaching our first stop.
Island #1-Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos
The ships have use of a private pool which was really nice but we took a cab to a nearby beach to get away from the ship crowd.
Finn caught the flu and we took turns nursing him back to health for the next few days. We took a quick stroll around town and around the forts of old San Juan before heading back on board.
Island #3-Philipsburg, Sint Maarten
This island is half Dutch,Sint Maarten and half French,Saint Martin.With so many beaches listed on the map for this island we decided to rent a Jeep for the day. This was not the best weather day for exploring beaches.
Island #4-Half Moon Cay,Bahamas
After a day at sea we arrived at Holland America's private island. Another day of clouds and rain but we braved the tender's to make it to the beach.
We headed back to Ft. Lauderdale to let 2/3 of the ship off and pick up a new batch of cruisers. The next day we were back at Half Moon for another round of clouds. At least Finn was finally feeling well enough to leave the boat and come ashore with us for this stop.
Island #5-Georgetown, Grand Cayman
More tenders to get to shore, seven cruise ships in town at the same time, and more clouds. We still managed to hop a taxi to the beach. This turned out to be the best stop for fish viewing.
Island #6-Mahogany Bay,Roatan
Finally a day with sunshine! We hopped on a chair lift to the beach,
ordered cervezas, and camped out beneath a palm tree.
Last stop before heading back to Ft. Lauderdale-Costa Maya, Mexico.
Guess what? Yep, it was cloudy and 65 degrees for most of our time here. But we took advantage of a break in the clouds for a little bit of sun and camped out reading in a lounge chair for a couple of hours.
It was nice to get away for 2 weeks. Let's do it again next year!

A lost wallet leads to a kingdom encounter!
Today, I was at a Homeland grocery store, and I had to go to the restroom. As I left the restroom, I saw a wallet lying on the bathroom floor. I picked it up thinking I would just turn it in to one of the store clerks. Then I had the thought that this could lead to a kingdom encounter. Instead of turning it in, I looked through the wallet to see if I could find any info that would help me find the owner of the lost wallet. As I looked through the wallet, I found a number that matched the name on the person's ID. The guy's first name was Solomon. I called the number, and a guy answered. "Is this Solomon?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. I told him I found his wallet in the bathroom of the Homeland grocery store, and he was so thankful. I told him I would meet him out front of the store because he was just a mile away.
As I was walking out front, I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me about two conditions in his body. When he pulled up and got out of the truck, I saw a brace on his arm. The brace, plus the sense that God wanted to encounter the man, plus the impressions about his pain all released a sense of faith to me. So I decided to go with a more bold approach. I walked up to Solomon and said, "Hello! I'm Brian. I have your wallet." I handed it to him and said, "Solomon, this was no accident that you lost your wallet." He looked at me a bit funny, and I continued. "You have a pain in your right shoulder and in your back," and I pointed to where the pain was at on his back.
"Yes, I have a pain in my right shoulder and in my back, right where you pointed. I was in a car accident. That's why I have the pain in my back and right shoulder and also the brace on my arm."
"Solomon, I couldn't have known anything about your shoulder or back. The reason I knew that was because Jesus told me about your condition. He just set you up to have a divine encounter with him. If you let me pray for you, all the pain will go, and you will be healed."
"Yes, you can pray for me," he said. Long story short, Solomon not only got his wallet back, but the pain left. I told Solomon, "Jesus just encountered you with his love!"
You never know when a lost wallet can turn into a kingdom encounter with a man being healed. Remember, the kingdom of God is at hand all the time. Our job is to simply look, listen, and respond to his activity.
A lost wallet leads to a kingdom encounter!
A lost wallet leads to a kingdom encounter!

Something that has always been a big part of my life is music! Music can motivate me, help me stay focused, and help keep me relaxed. Over the past year, music has helped me so much! I learned to use music almost like medicine. Before my surgeries, I had a playlist that I would listen to in order to keep myself calm and remind me that everything would be alright! Music helps give me a boost when I feel upset and helps me feel energized.
More recently, playing instruments has given me a new hobby and has helped me to regain skills such as memory, focus, and patience. Over the summer my family and I went to a concert. A band called The Lumineers was the opening act. I've always loved their music but getting to see the band live was amazing! The band has a cellist and I became fascinated with watching her playing the gigantic yet elegant instrument. This prompted me to ask my mom if I could buy a cello. We found a student cello online and I began taking lessons. Despite the fact that I am visually impaired, playing cello is possible for me because playing it is based on muscle memory, and also being able to hear when notes are too sharp or too flat. Playing cello makes me happy and gives me a sense of accomplishment, just like doing art does!
To anyone who feels stressed or like they need to find a new hobby, learning to play an instrument is a wonderful idea! Even if you don't think learning an instrument is for you, exploring music in general is very therapeutic and motivating!

The Doctor's Companions Ep. 12: L.I.N.D.A. and Chloe
This week contains two subpar, not-enough-Doctor-and-Rose episodes, so the highlight for us was showing each other our drawings of our baddies. Our question to answer this week was actually to design a Doctor Who baddie. Juliana and I were both coincidentally inspired by marine life, so we decided they would be from the same planet. Linda went a different direction, describing a man-made baddie, an assisted suicide machine rising up against us.
Angie the Alien of the Craw Family and the species Triskaidekacephalopoda of the planet Amphibiopia
This week's question for you to answer is: Which Doctor Who alien species would you like to be?

With the imminent introduction of GDPR on May 25th, you may have noticed you're getting a flurry of 'opt-in' emails from your various membership sites, news groups, mailing lists and social media.
Ad per the new rules, they are all trying to gain renewed consents to contact you. The the key question is: what counts as consent under GDPR?
The GDPR definition of consent reads:
"any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her"Which may not be all that readily obvious. So let's break that down.
Freely given
The first significant pillar of GDPR, your organisation has to offer real freedom for individuals to make a choice. For legal reasons, public authorities can't freely offer consent choices, and employers have limited choices for employees owing to the regulatory nature of the relationship; in most other cases, individual consent is a mandatory.
Generic consent is no longer valid; consent should be specific about the intended purpose, method of processing, channels of use, sharing and , retention.
Not only must the individual be informed of the purpose and use of their personal data, they should also be made aware of their rights such as the right to withdraw consent. The language, images, graphics, layout of choices must not be misleading or obscure, so that the grounds for consent may be well understood by the individual.
This takes out the practice of default choices such as default opt-in, pre-ticked boxes and questions in the negative.
Explicit consent
There is a special category of consent called "Explicit consent" which is required to process special category data and automated decision making. The key difference is, 'explicit' consent must be affirmed in a clear oral or written statement.
What does this look like on the screen or on paper? Following posts will describe what we're doing with clients. RC

The German meal kit delivery company announced its plans for an IPO on Tuesday, reports CNBC. The company is planning to sell shares worth up to $294 million to $353 million, which would give investors about a 20% stake in the company. HelloFresh says it would use the money to fund its growth by adding more personalization and choice to the service, such as adding wine and dessert options for users. HelloFresh's biggest market is the U.S., where it competes against rivals including Blue Apron and Plated.

You never know when dinner might turn into a perfect photo op.
A family gathering and good food made for a great day and an unexpected opportunity to take a quick snapshot of a colorful accidental setup. No rearranging necessary. Also no time as the guests were patiently awaiting the main course.Click. Click. Late afternoon sunlight helped seal the deal and provided wonderful reflections and shadows on the glass stove top. I love serendipitously discovering these real life still life setups. Not that I mind setting up a still life, but there is something interesting about having my eyes open at all times–open to unplanned unusual arrangements of common objects.
It's worth the few seconds to record the inspiration and then build a great painting based on the photo reference.
Please take a look at "Perfect Pairing" on my website www.anntrainordomingue.com to see the colorful result of having taken a minute to record a moment.

Much in the same way that paisley patterns can be any color, its important to note that the name glen plaid cannot be categorized nor limited to a color as the term merely indicates a pattern (see link for history on GP). That's why one cannot simply state rules to follow when pairing shirts, ties and squares to glen plaid.
This particular Glen Plaid had a very feint (almost imperceptible) light blue check in it which invited in the light blue shirt. Youc an see it in the pictures below, and I will add another on Wed (11/4) as a closeup detail)
Otherwise it was primarily a black check. This is where the ties I used (Blacks and Burgundies) came in as follows:
First up is a Cesare Attolini weave with a lovely hand. The grey in the tie would be acceptable in and of itself as it works well with the Black of the glen plaid. This had the added benefit of being a slate gray which is tinged with blue. The burgundy stripe in the tie wakes it all up. Again for the square I used the same universaly colored square as in the previous post. Its got so many colors it works with ALL the ties below. (PS: MB, I didnt accidentally leave it in the pocket, enjoy!)
The second is a burgundy dotted weave. I thought it a nice subtle entry of burgundy which is a great color for the ensemble.
For a bold contrast, this twill print, with both burgundy and blue dost in the neats pattern works well.
Finally in the same vein of contrast is the black weave with the light blue flowers.
Tomorrow, the plaid suit/sportscoat.

Day 46: Ezra 9:5-9
5 Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the Lord my God 6 and prayed:
"I am too ashamed and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens.7 From the days of our ancestors until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
8 "But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes and a little relief in our bondage. 9 Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
At the beginning of this beautiful prayer, we see Ezra engage in a practice which has largely been lost in today's church but would benefit us if we would return to it, and that is the practice of communal repentance.
In a fascinating use of pronouns, Ezra says "I am too ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God," because "our iniquities...and our guilt have mounted up to the heavens."
Ezra was a holy, God-fearing scribe and leader who had been innocent of wrongdoing before God. But he is also part of a community—a community which had not been innocent—and he bears their guilt with them.
Just as Ezra shares the burden of his people, and just as Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we ought to remember that we live in community, and that the sins of those around us ought to break our hearts like they break God's. Many would choose condemning, judgmental language to describe the lost world around us. What if, instead, we fell on our knees, garments torn before God, and begged forgiveness and deliverance for the sins of our community? It is one thing to acknowledge when we personally have sinned and allowed an idol to take God's place, but another thing entirely when we make such a confession on behalf of our community.
God cares deeply for the community around us. Let us help bear their burden today.
Brad Taylor | Executive Pastor, Lima Community Church

Quality Assurance & Evaluation
Quality Assurance and Evaluation is about assessing the quality of work that we do to safeguard children and understanding the impact of this work in terms of its effectiveness in helping to keep children and young people safe.
One of the key functions of the Surrey Safeguarding Children Board (SSCB) is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of what is done by the Board's partners both individually and collectively to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and to advise them on ways to improve.
The SSCB Quality Assurance process includes the following components:
- Section 11 Audit: Monitoring partner compliance with the statutory requirement to have effective safeguarding arrangements in place.
- Multi-agency Audits: The SSCB multi-agency audits provide a means of finding out whether the service is following guidelines and or applying best practice in a particular area. Multi-agency audits enable areas of weakness to be identified and acted upon and provide opportunities for agencies to learn from each other.
- Performance Report: A detailed performance report has been developed which summarises performance across SSCB's strategic priorities as well as groups of vulnerable children who have been identified as a priority for the SSCB (Child Protection, children who are Looked After and children who go missing/are suffering or at risk of sexual exploitation).
- Challenge and Learning Events: When relevant, findings from Section 11 audit, multiagency audits and datasets are followed up with multiagency challenge and learning events to explore the issues in more detail, seek further assurance and share learning
The SSCB Quality Assurance process follows the Signs of Safety Approach and evaluates services by exploring:
- What's working well?
- What are we worried about?
- What do we still need to know?
- What needs to happen?
The new Quality Assurance process aims to emphasise more on good practice and use Appreciative Inquiry (AI) techniques which involves learning from what works well rather than focusing on dissecting failures and learning from what went wrong. Therefore, the SSCB Quality Assurance process involves inviting partners to evaluate services by identifying what works, developing good practice and ensuring there is a plan for implementing it more widely.
The Quality Assurance process is used to drive improvement in training and practice, policy and procedure. Effective quality assurance is a continuous learning cycle to bring about effective learning, sustained changes in practices and improved outcomes for children and families.

The Apple OS X Snow Leopard Update has been available for pre-order since early August. We still do not know when Apple is actually shipping Snow Leopard. Over the weekend photos of the alleged Snow Leopard retail packaging appeared on MacRumors.
The photos show a Snow Leopard box from Portugal. The tag line reads: "The world's most advanced operating system. Perfectly optimized."
The shots look pretty real. This would mean Apple is already in full production of Snow Leopard. They better be if the promised September launch time frame is to hold up. Some rumors even point to a Snow Leopard launch end of August.
Secure your Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 Update on Amazon.com starting at $29.99.

FairMormon is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing well-documented answers to criticisms of LDS doctrine, belief, and practice.
Pregunta: ¿Los documentos contemporáneos arrojan alguna luz sobre la posible persecución de la familia Smith después de la Primera Visión de José Smith?
Pregunta: ¿Los documentos contemporáneos arrojan alguna luz sobre la posible persecución de la familia Smith después de la Primera Visión de José Smith?
Contemporary newspaper articles report an episode that likely provides some window into the persecution which the Smiths endured
Milton Backman recounts the events surrounding the death of Alvin, Joseph's elder brother:
After the death of Joseph's brother, Alvin, who died November 19, 1823, someone circulated the rumor that Alvin's body had been "removed from the place of his interment and dissected." In an attempt to ascertain the truth of this report, Joseph Smith, Sr., along with neighbors gathered at the grave, removed the earth, and found the body undisturbed. To correct the fabrication, designed in the opinion of Joseph's father to injure the reputation of the Smith family, Joseph, Sr., placed in the Wayne Sentinel (which appeared on successive Wednesdays from September 30 to November 3, 1824) a public notice reciting his findings that the body was undisturbed. [1]
This kind of malicious gossip and rumor is cruel, but is also not the sort of thing likely to leave much trace on the historical record, save in memories. But, if the Smith family could be the subject of malicious gossip when faced with a tragedy like Alvin's death, can we really expect that things before then were much better?
