Building resilient regional and remote Queensland communities
Building resilient regional and remote Queensland communities
Now into its third year, our partnership with the Financial Basics Community Foundation aims to improve financial resilience and capability for young Australians, with a particular focus on those living in regional and remote communities. Research has identified that over 60% of Australian adults are facing some level of financial stress or vulnerability with over 2 million people experiencing high levels of financial stress.
Younger people are typically more likely to experience severe financial stress than older people, and financial stress is a key factor in many areas of mental health, family violence and poverty across Australia. Research also supports the view that the Australian population is most vulnerable in the area of financial knowledge and behaviour, with almost half of the population identifying themselves as having low to very low financial knowledge.
The deficit in financial capability is widespread and is an issue in both metropolitan and regional communities, making building financially resilient communities a critical area of need.
To address this deficit our partnership has developed the Ca$hED Up – Developing Financial Skills for Life program.
Traditionally, financial capability has been delivered as part of a wider curriculum in specialist subjects such as mathematics, business and economics. This means that not all students are accessing this material.
The Ca$hED Up program is different. The program has been specifically designed to be delivered by secondary school teachers as part of a general life skills curriculum. The Ca$hED Up program materials can be used by secondary teachers, irrespective of their teaching area. Lesson materials allow teachers to "pick up and go" or to adjust to suit the local context as required. Our goal is that all secondary students have access to this vital program.
The trial of the Ca$hED Up program commenced in 2018 at seven schools in regional Queensland. Those schools implemented a five-lesson course with all Year 7 students, typically through a Life Skills or Pathways program. In 2019 the trial was extended to additional schools and to expand the course materials to students from Year 7 to Year 10 through four course modules aligned to the Australian curriculum and the National Consumer and Financial Literacy Framework. Each module consists of five lessons. The Ca$hED Up material is completely flexible, allowing schools to deliver any module to any year level.
Trial results gathered to date are encouraging. 92% of students indicated they had conversations or sort advice about money after completing the course. Teacher feedback has commended the "hands on" nature of the lesson materials and have given them an average rating of 4.2 (with 5 being excellent). Promisingly 100% of teachers would run the course again and would recommend it to their colleagues. You can learn more about the Ca$hED Up – Developing Financial Skills for Life program in the video below or by downloading the latest Outcome Report
By the end of 2019 we expect almost 2,000 students will have completed the trail program across all four modules. Results from the trial will be used to determine the effectiveness of the program, its ability to be replicated Australia-wide and to shape future program content.

My work is a celebration of the beauty of nature; with the hope that connection to place and nature can inspire us to consider the value of the materials we use every day.
Inspired by the Cradle to Cradle approach (Braungart and McDonough), my research and practice focus on responsible and circular design. I am concerned with the lifecycle of materials and how we can design and create to keep materials in use. I use natural materials, often those that are locally found or a waste stream from another design process, that can be recycled or will biodegrade so no trace is left behind.
Walking and a connection to place are central to my practice. Working at Wheatfen Nature Reserve on the Norfolk Broads, making perambulatory drawings and gathering materials for natural dye has led to work that speaks of the landscape. Research into the archive records of Phyllis Ellis, who lived at Wheatfen, has led to meditative work that explores how daily observations can connect us to the landscapes in which we are rooted.
One of six artists selected to take part in the 'Woven Waters' project with the Broads Authority, I will be exhibiting at the Hostry, Norwich Cathedral in December 2019.

If you would like to ask the therapist a question before making a booking click the link below.
I believe there are times when all of us can benefit from the kind of gentle, committed and confidential support that can only be found in therapy. Whatever difficulties you have, and however painful your current situation or history, my work is to offer you a safe space in which to share and explore your experiences.
I focus on each client as a person; on your own struggles, hopes, fears and desires. I will support you through a process of personal reflection designed to increase your sense of self-worth and your confidence in dealing with the difficult emotions and hard situations our lives contain. I have been privileged to work with people from many different ethnic backgrounds and whatever your sexuality, your faith or your social circumstances, I will draw on all my experience as a person and my skill as a counsellor to help you achieve your aims and feel better.
I am an 'Integrative Counsellor', meaning that I offer a broad range of theoretical perspectives and practical counselling skills and am able to tailor my work as closely as possible to your needs.
Before entering private practice I worked extensively in universities and schools. I offer both long term counselling and brief, solution focused work.
I know that seeking counselling can be an intimidating, or even frightening thing to do, but the courage you are showing in reaching out for help is the first step in making the life changes you are looking for. I would also like to offer you the encouraging thought that this first step of choosing a counsellor and starting your first session is often the hardest part. In my experience, clients look back on their initial session as a moment of great relief and find themselves lighter and better able to cope by the time it is over.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Mask and Bauble Dramatic Society
This Had Better Come To A Stop
The Mask and Bauble Dramatic Society of Georgetown University is the oldest continuously running collegiate theatre troupe in the United States. Today, the Society is one of five theatre groups on the Georgetown campus and is entirely student-run. In its 161st Season, the group continues to provide an opportunity for students to develop artistic, technical, and administrative skills, while performing high-quality theatre.
Mask and Bauble was founded in 1852 as The Dramatic Association of Georgetown College, staging its first show, Pizarro, a play by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, on February 27, 1853. World War I priorities caused a suspension of its activities, and after the war the group was revived with the new name of Mask and Bauble. The society was the first of its kind to use female actresses in 1922, as female roles were previously filled by male actors. It formally accepted female members in 1934.
During this time the Society had a close relationship with the Roosevelt White House, withEleanor Roosevelt as a society patron. During the Eisenhower and Kennedyadministrations, student technicians from the group assisted with the technical aspects of some of the nation's first televised presidential press conferences. This intimate relationship with the White House was nurtured by the society's faculty adviser, Donn B. Murphy, who also served as theatrical adviser to Kennedy and Johnson. Murphy served until 1976, although he remains involved with Georgetown theatre. The Society's annual playwright contest and one acts festival bears his name, and promotes student-written plays.
Mask and Bauble performs in Poulton Hall's Stage Three, on the Georgetown campus. This theater space, part of the university, was occupied by students from the group over spring break in 1975. Unsatisfied with university commitment to theater, they squatted in what was previously Room 57, and built a makeshift theater they named Stage Two. The university forced this to be taken down, but built the group a small theater in Poulton Hall, which became Stage Three. Stage One was then converted into the scene and costume shop. While the club's alumni were very active in raising money to build Georgetown's new Davis Performing Arts Center, the society and other student groups have been restricted from using the Center's main theatre due to their insistence on maintaining student, rather than faculty, direction. In 2009, Mask & Bauble co-produced Caroline, or Change with the Black Theater Ensemble and the Department of Performing Arts on the main stage of the Davis center, making it the first student directed play on the Gonda Stage.
Club membership hovers around 90-100 students, making it the largest theatre group on Georgetown's campus.

If you've ever been to a trade show or exhibition – as a person with a stand or kiosk, trying to get the customer's attention – then you realise that it's a 50-50 deal between you and how your stand or kiosk is organised. Yes, you matter, you are the one that will reel the passersby in, you're the one with the sales pitch; yet having an attention-grabbing, well-organised and professional stand or booth certainly helps a lot. The truth is, it's not that hard if you employ a few tested and proven techniques that make you stand out and make other people take notice. Having difficulty getting the attention you deserve? Here's how you can easily grab the attention of passersby and attendees at a trade show or exhibition.
Your lighting is important
Like moths to a candle – that's the effect you should have. Not that you need the brightest lighting – it depends on what you're promoting, of course. However, you should make sure that whatever it is you put on display has enough light thrown on it. It's not just about highlighting the item, it's also about removing shadows.
Say it with colours
We're not saying you should throw a mix of bright and eye-catching colours in a random fashion just so you can catch some attention – the colours need to match and give an elegant impression. But consider those that always stand out: red, blue, green and black, orange and grey.
Technology is there to help you
Why not have a video presentation on your laptop? Why not have customers register with a tablet? Why not allow them to visit your website right there and then?
Your text should be short but sweet
It's always a good idea to have your brand and your logo in big, bold letters. In fact, that's a requirement. You could add a short message such as 'lowest prices' or 'sale now!'. But in general, avoid too much text as this adds clutter from a visual point of view.
The above tips are just some of the tricks of the trade – but when employed correctly, they make a big difference when it comes to results. As a matter of fact, once you've tried them and have seen which fits best for you, you won't go back and will be looking for other techniques very soon. Never forget, of course, that nothing compares to a good sales pitch, or the quality of your smile and the strength of your handshake. But before you can show them who you are, it pays to invest in an exhibition stand that brings you the right people through a good banner printing service. You're still the fisherman, but a good net helps a lot.

From Lori K
Just Kinda wanted to say hi,
I left the Christian church and my husband three years ago. It's still been a struggle. My 7-year-old son when he visits his Dad, is being told awful stories about how if he doesn't believe in God, he will go to hell, and how I'm full of the devil.
Now this poor kid lives day today, confused and in fear.
It's just nice to see others who have been through the same thing.
I just go day by day, but I worry about my boy.

|ARM Technical Support Knowledge Articles
Applies to: ARM9 processors
Yes, it makes a significant difference to performance.
ARM9 processors generally achieve around 1.1 DMIPS/MHz when executing Dhrystone code entirely within their Level 1 memory system, which has a Harvard architecture.
However, even with zero wait-state memory, running from the bus incurs cycles of latency in the bus interface and contention between instruction and data accesses, either in the bus interface where the Level 2 interface is a single shared (Von Neumann) interface, or outside of the processor where the bus has a shared fabric or where the instruction and data accesses compete for access to the same memory slave.
For example, ARM968E-S will run Dhrystone approximately 80% faster from Level 1 Tightly Couple Memory (TCM) than from zero wait-state memory on the AHB bus running at processor speed.

School existence is great. For the primary time in our lives (and potentially the final until we retire) we now have a variety of free time, almost no obligations, a banging social existence and a low interest loan to preserve our heads above water.
would we now have it any better? These are the first-class instances of our lives and its most important to make the most out of them, but behind all of the late nights and doner kebabs each single certainly one of us came to uni for a rationale… and that motive used to be to be trained.
Now after I speak about 'be trained' I don't simply imply study your measure, even though undoubtedly that is vitally principal as after your years are up you have got some thing physical to show for it (a acknowledged qualification and that funny hat that you throw within the air).
What I mean with the aid of 'gain knowledge of' is that you're in a prime environment to develop and develop your personality, skills, self assurance and independence as good as your tutorial expertise.
Do you really need to finish university with the same mentality as you could have now? these days skills are so simply obtainable by means of distance studying courses and night classes that you just want more than that to be successful, you have got to advance your actual capabilities.
however where do you ? start as you imply to go on. That's correct, if you happen to start you're first day of uni with the top in mind and regularly move closer to it then it'll occur.
in case your aim is to go away with a primary measure and every day you wake up with that in intellect, then your one step in the direction of achieving it.

A short time ago the foundation was approached by a Mother of twin twenty year olds. Both boys have medical conditions. Zach lives with Cerebral Palsy. His muscles grow stiff when they are not exercised regularly causing him to live in constant pain.
Zach's Mother Karen asked us to help them in a unique way. The pool heater had quit warming their outdoor pool which was the main source of exercise for Zach, aquatic therapy. "Zachery is able to do activities in the water that he can not do on land. But the water must be warm to reduce his spasticity." said Karen. "A pool heater would make a world of difference for him to stay healthy and out of pain." Zach's physical therapist suggested they contact JTTF for help. With the help of the local Pinch A Penny dealership we were able to replace the old heater with a new one.
When we receive an application we find the people are usually left with no means of obtaining the equipment they desperately need. Most of the time they have exhausted insurance requests and really don't know which way to turn. Adaptive equipment is expensive. Imagine adding unlimited medical expenses to your monthly budget to care for one or more of your children or family members. These families are strong and compassionate and deserving of help.
JT Townsend recalls being in that situation. He also remembers how the entire community came to his aid. His dream of repaying the community is a reality and now he is doing his best to give back. Through fund raising events JT Townsend and his Foundation have helped over 10 families in it's short one and a half year existence.
Won't you do your part to help us to help others? Please find it in your heart to donate today. Every dollar makes a difference and you will be blessed by your generosity.
Dear JT Townsend Foundation,
I would like to thank you for the pool heater, it has made my life a lot easier and more fun. When I get in the pool, my legs loosen up, and it makes my whole body feel much better. It has made a huge impact on my spasticity. My body is able to do many more things in the water that I am unable to do on land. Even my baby sister can hold me when I am in the pool. I especially love doing the backstroke. Since you have donated the pool heater, I have a new dream of being in the Paralympics. Without the pool heater I was unable to do many movements with my body that I am now able to do. Being in the pool makes me feel awesome and I can't thank you enough!
With Love and Many Thanks,
Zachary Fellin

Day 13 on the Dr Hulda Clark Parasite Cleanse! Video!
Fancy 21 days with no sugar, fruit, wheat, dairy, yeast, fresh mushrooms, white potatoes, white rice and honey!?

Discovering Your One Major Purpose- Workshop 21st Jan Dublin city
This concept comes from Napoleon Hill's famous book, "Think and Grow Rich."
Your One Major Purpose is the one thing more than any other thing you have a calling to experience. It may be something that you:
- Never told anyone about,
- Do not even believe is possible or
- May not know what it is yet.
You'll recognize it as something that powerfully excites, frightens or moves you. The potential to fulfill this will motivate you to get out of bed in the morning and do, say and be many things that you take you towards and into its realization which will even in your imagination feel superbly fascinating and joyous!
It is helpful to have at least one clear aim or intention even if it is as wonderfully general as being happy. Feel free to change it as you like. It's a good idea to keep this private.
Put it on a piece of paper and into your wallet. Read and enjoyably visualise daily!
When I first started working with this, my one major aim was to know what my one major aim was! We all have to start somewhere and where ever you are is the right place for you right now. It's all good! Take a few minutes now to close your eyes, breathe deeply. Bring your awareness to your heart space and ask yourself, What is my One Major Purpose? See if a vision comes to mind or a word and write it down. If you would like to discover this and more, please come along to The Soul's Goals workshop on January 21st near Merrion Square, Click here for facebook event page and more details!
One Major Purpose:
Like to be part of the pinhole glasses trial?
Would you like to get involved in a pinhole glasses trial?
Are you interested? Curious?
Do you live in Dublin?
You'd be required to wear them for 15 minutes + 5 times week for 3 -4 weeks starting asap.
Interested to see how that would affect your vision and wellbeing after 3 -4 weeks?
Also it would be great though not necessary if you are available to meet on a Wednesday evening 23rd November in Dublin where you can share your experience with us.
If you have pinholes great and if not a pair will be provided free of charge. Feel free to share with any friends who might be interested.

Professional teeth whitening
As we get older our teeth become more stained and discoloured due to our diet and lifestyle choices, but more and more people are longing for brighter, whiter teeth. Simply by lightening your existing teeth by several shades, can make a big difference to your smile.
Teeth whitening should always be carried out under professional supervision, as it involves chemicals being safely applied to discoloured teeth.
Results will vary depending on the severity of the original staining, and will not be effective on crowns, fillings and some veneers. We can advise you on this if you need more information.

Teeth whitening FAQ's:
Q: Does whitening damage your teeth?
A: Professional tooth whitening is incredibly safe. The whitening process uses active ingredients to temporarily open pores in your teeth and lift stains.
Q: How much do we charge for teeth whitening at Oakley Road Dental Practice?
A: £500.00 for the whole kit including trays.
Q: Why are my teeth sensitive after whitening?
A: During the whitening process, it is completely normal for sensitivity to occur. The teeth become temporarily dehydrated which reduces their ability to insulate the nerve from changes in temperature.
Q: Will whitening treatment lighten my crowns/veneers as well?
A: When artificial caps and veneers are installed, they are created to match the colour of your surrounding teeth. Caps and veneers will neither whiten nor stain.

Congratulations, you have a beautiful new baby in the world. You have brought your little one home and you are getting the hang of round the clock feedings. While you likely cherish this bonding time with your little one, nursing can be a lot easier with the help of some tools.
Most seasoned mothers will agree that investing in the best manual breast pump will prove to be a lifesaver. Not only will it serve convenient for trips out, it will also allow you some freedom to take a nap, sleep through the night or maybe even go out on your own for a bit.
Pumping is a great way to prepare your baby on outings and gather some much needed sleep but the benefits go much beyond just that. Your baby feeds every couple of hours but sometimes your breasts will get full before that and start to ache. It is also important to expel all your milk to avoid clogged milk ducts. Pumping will relieve the pressure and leave you feeling much more comfortable.
The benefits of breastfeeding are seemingly endless and with the help of the best hand breast pump, it can get a lot easier too. To help you find the best one for you, we have compiled a list of the top rated ones below.
Ready to get started? Let's go.

How To Choose A Manual Breast Pump – Buying Guide
The biggest decision many new mothers face is deciding between a manual and electric breast pump. Deciding which one is best for you depends largely on how often you plan to pump. This affects the amount of suction you need from a pump. Manual breast pump reviews agree that choosing the right pump doesn't have to be stressful or tiring. Simply consider these aspects when looking to buy one for yourself:
Manual Breast Pump
This type of breast pump is ideal for occasional use. Cheaper in price these breast pumps work well for mothers looking to pump before a night out or while traveling. Their lightweight and compact design allow you to bring them with you just about anywhere. They are ideal because they are silent to use and do not require an electrical outlet making them an ideal option for on the go use. Hand pump breastfeeding has been around for the longest and is a more reliable option as it does not rely on power and is less likely to malfunction.
Hand pump breastfeeding reviews warn against wrist fatigue when using a manual pump. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to find a breast pump with an ergonomically designed handle. This means the handle's shape has been designed to have the same curve as your hand which will allow you to pump more without fatigue.
Some pumps come with a 2 phase design. This is a feature found in the handle of the pump in which you clamp at one end of the handle to promote the milk production. Following this, you use the end of the pump to maximize milk flow and allow for more efficiency.
Electrical Pump
While manual pumps have stood the test of time, electrical pumps are a lot more efficient and are the ones found in maternity wards. These powerful tools work much alike a manual pump but require an electrical source to power the pumping motion. Coming in either singular or double pump systems these pumps are preferred by moms that pump continuously. This is because they are less tiring as you do not need to manually pull the liquid out. They also take less time to work as you are able to do both breasts at once. They are however more difficult to travel with and are at risk for untimely malfunctions.
Storage Containers
Whether you choose to go with a manual or electric breast pump it is important to look for a pump system that comes with extra milk containers. Oftentimes pumps will come with two, or even four, milk storage containers allowing you to fill more than one container. This is desirable as you can easily ensure that your baby will always have milk.
For pump systems that don't come with extra milk storage containers, it is important to look for ones where additional containers can also be purchased. Many pumps use universal containers that will fit on any pump. Pumping your milk is only useful when your milk has somewhere to go to be safely stored.
Lids are also an often overlooked aspect of a breast pump. Being able to cover the containers allows you to not only store them in the fridge but also make sure no contaminants get in them. Lids and caps should also cover where the breast rests. This will ensure that you only have milk inside your containers and make it easy for you to quickly start and stop pumping.
This can be the most important part of the pump. Many are made from a food grade 100% silicone material. This is soft and can form to your breast creating a perfect seal needed to make suction. When looking at pumps you should look for ones that are BPA, PVC, Phthalate, Lead and petroleum free. All of these can irritate you and your child and even be harmful. Storage containers should also be made from a similar material which can reduce breakage and make it easy to store the milk.
My Babies Planet Overview
Breast pumps are a great way to reduce the pressure felt when your breasts feel full in between feedings. They also help mothers get some down time from round the clock feedings and allow for a level of independence that cannot otherwise be achieved. The best breast pumps will allow you to produce the milk quickly and comfortably while being portable and easy to use.

Which Team Will Sign Ian Desmond To A $100 Million Contract This Offseason?
After turning down a seven year/$107 million contract from the Washington Nationals two years ago, people thought Ian Desmond made a huge mistake. The following year, his contract year, Desmond folded under pressure. He hit .233, with 19 home runs, 62 RBIs, 69 runs, 13 stolen bases, and a .290 OBP. After that tough year, that $107 million contract extension that Desmond declined looked like a very bad decision.
Following Desmond's tough 2015 campaign, the Texas Rangers decided to take a chance on the shortstop and sign him to a one-year, $8-million-dollar deal. The Rangers already had a starting shortstop, so they moved the former all-star to the outfield. While many people thought Desmond's career was doomed, he is proving everyone wrong in 2016. If he continues at this pace, he could be looking at another $100 million contract offer.

-Trisha Gura
Researchers once believed that the onset of type 1 diabetes led to the complete destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Recent evidence, however, suggests that most people with type 1 diabetes actually maintain residual beta cells that function long after type 1 diabetes' onset.
To gain an understanding of the process of beta cell destruction in the hopes of generating new therapies, researchers from the T1D Exchange Clinic Network in 2015 studied 919 individuals who had type 1 diabetes for a significant amount of time. The investigators found that the majority of patients produced C-peptide, a molecule whose presence indicates that the body is producing insulin. In fact, C-peptide lasts longer in the body than insulin itself.
Next, investigators at the Indiana University School of Medicine and the T1D Exchange Residual C-peptide Study Group studied proinsulin, the precursor of insulin. Normally the body processes proinsulin into insulin and C-peptide. The goal was to track how proinsulin and its byproduct C-peptide fluctuated with the duration of the onset of type 1 diabetes.

For the study, the researchers again studied these individuals with longstanding type 1 diabetes through analysis of samples stored in the T1D Exchange Biobank. Researchers separated participants into three groups – those who were producing high, medium, or low amounts of C-peptide. Surprisingly, researchers found that nearly all study participants were producing proinsulin, even those with low C-peptide, which should correspond to levels of its parent proinsulin. Also, only those who could convert proinsulin into insulin, as measured by C-peptide levels, were observed to increase proinsulin production in response to a meal.
From these results, the researchers speculate that there may be an observable hierarchy of beta cell dysfunction. At the onset of type 1 diabetes, beta cells can still process proinsulin into C-peptide and insulin. Over time, the cells may lose the ability, causing them to be targeted for destruction. As beta cell destruction progresses and C-peptide levels decrease, the ability to increase proinsulin after meals is reduced.
Researchers hope that by understanding the full process of beta cell destruction, they may be able to stop the process at a key moment in the onset of type 1 diabetes. More research will be needed, however, to even begin to develop therapies aimed at preserving beta-cell health.

"Songs & Emergent Literacy" was originally published on October 25, 2018. We are posting it in celebration of our up coming professional development workshop Emergent Literacy using Objects on November 21, 2019.
If you visit our toddler and twos classes you are bound to hear joyful voices singing songs as they begin their morning routine. The classes sing hello to each student, use songs during their morning circles, and to help ease transitions throughout their day. While a chorus of young voices is undeniably sweet and fun, their singing is helping to set a strong academic foundation by strengthening the children's pre-literacy skills.
Songs & Vocabulary
When children hear a song, they are exposed to new words. The words that young children hear, whether spoken or sung, are the words that form their vocabulary. The repetitive nature of many song lyrics, combined with the fact that children are likely to hear the same song many times, gives them the opportunity to fully learn new words. Later in their academic lives, this understanding of a variety of words will help with their ability to read and their overall reading comprehension.
Songs, Sounds, Rhymes
For very young children, listening to songs exposes them to the many different sounds that make up our words. As you sing a song, you emphasize certain sounds and by doing so, you highlight the building blocks of our language. Singing gives the youngest children the opportunity to mimic and communicate with these sounds in a way that is ideal for toddlers. When singing, they are given the freedom to be loud, let their voices ring, and play with sounds. Additionally, a child whose words often slur together or who regularly skips words while speaking is often able to sing a tune in such a way that an adult will know what they are singing. This can hold true even in cases where the adult is not able to understand many of the individual words being sung. Children rely on the sounds they learned while singing when they start sounding out words and when they are developing the ability to read.
As young children develop pre-literacy skills, they begin to have the ability to rhyme. Singing songs such as Willoughby Wallaby Woo, Down by the Bay, and Silly Nilly Name Song allow children to explore rhyming sounds while singing. Pausing before you say the rhyming word can give the children the chance to fill it in, which helps children progress from hearing rhymes to creating their own rhymes. These singing games can provide hours of entertainment while challenging young children to explore sounds and rhymes.
Songs, Symbols, & Letter Recognition
A crucial component of learning to read is recognizing that the letter "m" means the sound "mmm". In order to learn this, children must first understand the use of symbols, because the letter "m" is a symbol for the sound "mmm". Children begin recognizing symbols well before they are ready to read and symbol recognition is considered an important pre-literacy skill. While using songs to help children understand letters may seem unlikely, song cards offer the ideal opportunity to pair singing with symbol recognition.
Songs cards are images that are used to represent or be a symbol for a particular songs. For example, an image of a sun might be used to represent Mr. Sun and a star might be used to represent Twinkle, Twinkle. When using song cards, make sure that image is large, engaging and/or colorful. Also be sure that the images are double sided and laminated for durability. Then dramatically spread the song cards out in the middle of the circle and encourage the class to explore the cards. As they pick up the images, sing the corresponding song. Over time, children will learn that specific images represent their favorite songs and will go out of their way to find these images. Young children love using these song cards because it helps them to communicate what songs they want to sing without having to come up with the name of the song or even the tune. In essence, song cards help young children to learn about symbols in a way that is appealing to them by helping to fulfill their need to communicate their wants and desires.

When using the image optimization service, you may face the following 2 issues:
- Enabling image optimization service from the 10Web dashboard doesn't work or it seems to work but after enabling the blue loading bubble starts an infinite loop.
- When optimizing images, the progress has stuck either on 0% or X%.
Issue 1: Enabling the image optimization service doesn't work
This issue can occur because of one of these two reasons:
- REST API is closed
In order to check if WordPress REST API works, go to https://example.com/?rest_route=/,
where example.com is your website URL. If you see a JSON output (bunch of text on a white page) without error messages, it works.
REST API may be blocked by some security plugins/3rd-party security services or by hosting service providers, hence you should either deactivate the security plugin/service and check the actions again or contact your hosting service provider to fix the issue.
- All actions of services fail because 10Web services actions have been blocked by a security plugins/3rd-party security services or by hosting service providers.
In order to check it, navigate to https://onlinecurl.com/ and check the following two endpoints accordingly for GET and POST methods:
curl https://yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/tenweb/v1/get_check
curl -X POST https://yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/tenweb/v1/post_check
, where yourdomain.com is your website URL.
If you get {"code":"ok"} for both of them in Response Body, then everything is ok.
If you get anything different, then you should either deactivate the security plugin/service and check the actions again or contact your hosting service provider to fix the issue.
If in any case our services' IP addresses have been blocked, please contact your hosting service provider and ask them to whitelist the following IP addresses:
- 220.127.116.11
- 220.127.116.11
- 220.127.116.11
- 22.214.171.124
- 18.104.22.168
- 22.214.171.124
- 126.96.36.199
- 188.8.131.52
Issue 2: When optimizing images, the progress has stuck either on 0% or X%
- If the progress has stuck on X%, most probably it has finished optimization but the notification has stuck. Refresh your browser. If the notification still shows X%, navigate to your wordpress dashboard->Image optimizer and click cancel. If there are still any images to be optimized, go back to the service page on the dashboard and run the optimization again.
- If the progress is stuck at 0%, navigate to your wordpress dashboard->Image optimizer, click cancel, and contact us. Most probably, there is an issue that should be checked by our developers.

Mel Gibson is defying government warnings and kidnap threats by moving his family to so-called "bandit country" in Costa Rica.
The Hollywood actor-director is selling his California and Connecticut homes to buy a £13million ranch in Costa Rica.
But the US State Department says US visitors are in danger – while speculation suggests Gibson's wife Robyn does not want to go.
Max Max star Gibson has earmarked a ranch 300 miles from Costa Rican capital San Jose, where he will live with Robyn and their seven children.
The new setting in the Guanacaste province will be 3,000 miles from their home in California now on the market for £15million.
Gibson has indicated he will use the new place on the northern Pacific coast not just for living, but also shooting his future movies.
But the US Government thinks US visitors to Costa Rica should be aware they are "potential targets for criminals and kidnappers".
An official briefing added: "Local law enforcement agencies have limited capabilities and do not operate according to US standards."

If you thought that framing your pampered pooch for posterity was a new-fangled thing, take a look at ancient history and you'll get a pleasant surprise, from Cavemen to Cezanne from the Greeks to Goya, they have all featured animals in art, pet portraits are nothing new, just a continuing celebration of our close connection with animals.
Our art history of pet portraits starts way back, over 19,000 years ago with the famous cave paintings of Lascaux in southern France, you can see this beautiful horse rendered perfectly on the cave walls by Palaeolithic man below. There are over 600 paintings there and nearly all of them feature animals, ranging from bison to bears. The pigments used included red, yellow, and black colours from a complex multiplicity of mineral pigments, such as iron oxide, as well as manganese-containing pigments. It is not suggested by us that the were domesticated animals or pets, but they were the first animals painted by humans.
Marching onwards in terms of years, to 3500BCE, we move to the first human civilization of Babylonia, part of the Sumerian culture, there we find great depictions in art of both domesticated animals and we also find arguably our very first pet portraits alongside farm animals like goats and horses
Domesticated goats from the Royal Tombs of Ur
Our Journey then moves to Ancient Egypt, where we know for certain that cats were kept as pets by the Egyptian royalty and aristocracy.
Cats in ancient Egypt occupied a special place, as the cat was central to their religion and was considered to be sacred. Many animals in Egypt were linked to gods and goddesses, but only the cat was considered to be semi-divine in its own right. As a demi-god, a cat could not be owned by a mere human. Only the divine pharaoh had that honour. As a result, all cats were in theory under the protection of the pharaoh and hurting a cat was treasonous, similar to swans on the River Thames and the Queen of England in modern day times. The depiction of feline pets in Ancient Egypt is beautiful and flowing, showing great affection for cats as pets.
The Greek culture which followed the decline of the Egyptian civilisation and may have borrowed many concepts from it, has a special place in western civilisation as the founders of the first democracy alongside great discoveries in mathematics, philosophy and art.
The Greeks displayed a great fondness for animals and pets, we can see art in the form of sculptures, frescoes, mosaics and pottery, all of it depicting pets, the dog was the most beloved pet of the Ancient Greeks and is seen in thousands of works of art,
If you're a cat-lover, you might have been lonely in ancient Greece. There isn't much talk of cats in the records that survive. This means that the Greeks probably were not that aware of cats. Since cats were domesticated in Egypt, they had probably never been seen in Greece until after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt. Egypt did not have much contact with Greece and western culture before then. Birds were also very common pets. Even large birds, such as heron and peacocks, were often kept inside the home as pets. There are many engravings that have survived to modern times that show Greeks in the company of large birds.
Even though we might find them creepy, some Greeks kept snakes as pets. Some of these snakes were kept because they killed rats and mice. But apparently, some were treated as regular pets. There are stories from ancient Greece about a man whose pet snake followed him around like a dog. Some Greeks apparently let their pet snakes sleep in the bed with their children!
Pets included, dogs, cats, monkeys and even rats, although dogs are decpited as pets the most often.
A greyhound reportedly saved Alexander the Great from a charging elephant. The name greyhound is believed to derived from the word Grauis, meaning Grecian. The first accurate description of a grey hound is attributed to Ovid (63 B.C. to A.D. 17).
Roman Pets
The tradition of dogs as affectionate pets continued into the ancient Roman empire, one fascinating fact is that the Romans were the first culture to feed their dogs rather than expect them to catch meals themselves. Thus we see the first manifestations of the dog being seen as "man's best friend" in the Roman Empire.
After the conquest of Britain, the Romans began importing the ancestors of the Irish Wolfhound. Some of these were pitted against wolves or Molossi on the sands of the arena; others were allowed to serve their intended function as chasers of wolves and deer. Wolf-hunting on horseback, with the aid of large hounds, was a popular sport on many a frontier.
There are two pieces of cat evidence regarding the Romans. First: A mosaic from the House of the Faun in Pompeii, showing a cat with a bird in it's mouth . It is a spotted gray tabby cat. Another one is a piece from the island of Britannia, it is actually not a piece of art, just evidence from construction, there are some cat footprints and a pebble that impacted and stuck to the surface. The cat was walking across the sticky surface and someone threw a stone at it to get it off!
Fish were also kept by Romans, who must often have made actual pets of them. The first person to build a piscina/aquarium was a rich former Consul who upon the death of his fish went into mourning well beyond what was considered appropriate for a child or wife. Beginning in the second century, piscinae began to appear among the wealthy homes and later became a regular feature in Roman houses.
In western civilisation the next period where we truly appreciate the beauty of art and pets, is a long time coming as the dark ages lasted until the 10th century. So we can switch to other cultures to see how they depicted pets.
Ancient China
In ancient China we see the dog as both a domesticated and hunting animal/pet
Tibetan mastiff depicted from the Tang dynasty
There is fairly strong evidence that dogs were first domesticated in China, researchers from China and Sweden postulate that humans may have domesticated dogs from wolves as recently as 15,000 years ago. They found that, while most dogs share a common gene pool, genetic diversity is highest in East Asia, suggesting dogs have been domesticated there the longest.
Even more fascinating was the Forbidden City, home to the emperors of China during the final two imperial dynasties, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Built in 1406 to 1420 AD, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers an incredible 720,000 metres. As its name suggests, the complex was off-limits to the public and could only be accessed by the emperor, his immediate family, and thousands of female concubines and castrated male servants known as eunuchs.
The emperors and empresses of China's Forbidden City lived a lavish and opulent lifestyle, but they weren't the only ones- royal dogs also received the royal treatment, living a cushy and pampered lifestyle. - They reportedly lived in pavilions with marble floors, slept on silk cushions and were waited on by dedicated servant eunuchs who worked for the Dog Raising Office.
These eunuchs were specifically trained to care for the royal dogs and waited on their every need, each dog was specially dressed in in luxurious outfits that were specially commissioned and tailored to each dog's size and breed. The pet's name was carefully recorded on the inner lining.

Ancient Japan- masters of cat portraits
In Japanese art we see some sublime and surprising depictiosn of pets in artistic form, Take a look at this famous cats having fun from the Edo period:-
Woodblock print of cats making merry
In temples, mouser cats kept mice from eating Buddhist scrolls. They also served a role in protecting crops and thereby safeguarding religion.
In the Edo period (1603 – 1868), Japan stopped making war and relaxed somewhat, it's artistic culture flourished in this era of relative stability, and everyday people had the time and means for leisure, high culture was not just the pre-occupation of the ruling classes. They didn't have the internet, but they did have kabuki theatre, romantic literature, and ukiyo-e or woodblock prints produced cheaply on a mass scale, ordinary people could enjoy the best art at affordable prices in their own homes, unlike western societies, where oil paintings were the preserve of only the rich.
Woodblock and Hokusai prints are now precious works of art displayed in museums. But ukiyo-e, though extremely sophisticated, was originally a mass media and popular art form. Creating them involved carving a piece of wood into an image, painting the carving, and stamping it, perhaps thousands of times- the first mass produced art, an incredible innovation for it's time.
During the Edo period a merchant class developed and they now had new found wealth to spend on non-essentials and luxury goods like artwork. But there were a lot of woodblock prints for sale, all competing for merchant cash, so to attract buyers, the subjects of woodblock prints became everything fashionable and popular. This included lots of pet cats!
The most important and notable woddblock cat artist was Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861). He was a master of the violent and frightening, you might say his humanistic portrayals of cats in human attire were postively creepy, Kuniyoshi was obsessed with cats! His art studio was full of pussycats and visitors would often find him working with a kitty cuddled up in his kimono.
He was able to push the boundaries and take the mickey out of lots of kabuki actors were subject to these parodies as well as historically important figures, with these clever and witty cat portraits.
Less famous but more ancient than the other examples we have given is the recently discovered cave paintings on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Hand painted in an Indonesian cave it dates to at least 39,900 years ago, making it among the oldest art in the world, archaeologists, the discovery on the island of Sulawesi, vastly expands the geography of the first cave artists, who were long thought to have appeared in prehistoric Europe around that time.
Reported in the journal Nature, the cave art includes stencils of hands and a painting of a babirusa, or "pig-deer," which may be the world's oldest figurative art ever discovered. The finds from the Maros cave sites on Sulawesi raise the possibility that such art predates the exodus of modern humans from Africa 60,000 or more years ago. Adding more mysteries to the story of human evolution.
Is this is the oldest piece of art in the whole world??? One thing is for certain, animal art is definitely full of history.

Gentle ladies, gentle men
Waiting till the dance begin
Carefully we come to speak the word for all to hear
If you listen, if you should
We won't be misunderstood
But don't expect the words to ring too sweetly on the ear
Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear
In the gutter, in the street
Off his head or off his feet
Listen to the scratchy voices eating at your nerves
Pencil ready, paper dry
Shoot the girls and make them cry
Run for cover, things are bad but now they're getting worse
Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear, live in fear
Is it painful, is it right?
Does it keep you warm at night?
Fool your friends and fool yourself, the choice is crystal clear
If you break it on your knee
Better men might disagree
Do you laugh or do you stick your finger in your ear?
Live in fear, live in fear, live in fear, live in fear
–Richard Thompson, "Roll Over Vaughan Williams"
For some days now, I have been mulling over writing a post about good and evil. The impetus came to a point recently, but it's been brewing for some time because of my scarf* and some things I've been reading. And we'll get to that later—probably next post. Because this post is going to be about something else: fear.
Not long ago, I was sitting in church. It was a Fast Sunday (or "Fast and Testimony") meeting.** One of the speakers was a woman who described watching a video with her children that involved birds, who were wary of the cats below them in the yard, but insufficiently wary of snakes creeping along near-by branches. I couldn't find the visual version, but I'm 99% certain it derived from this talk.
Such talks are common. Here's another example:
What these talks have in common, and what they have in common with many other videos, not only those from the LDS church, is that they teach us to live in fear. But this is not only a matter of religion; political figures, similarly, trade on fear. So do manufacturers of commercial goods.
Fear is powerful–I well remember the sheer paranoia that struck us all following 9/11. The day of the attack, the president of the software company where I then worked sent us all home to be with our families, and I remember riding my bike homeward, noticing on an isolated bridge an uncapped plastic milk bottle full of some pale yellow liquid (it could have been urine, but this was Wisconsin, so it was more likely beer or lemonade). I remember mulling over the possibility that the bottle might contain some nerve agent or toxin or disease, ready to be casually knocked over and dispersed through the Western Wisconsin area. Yeah, right.
When the Anthrax letters appeared, even my eminently sensible spouse seriously contemplated microwaving all envelopes to destroy any biological agents.
Fear is powerful.
FDR wasn't kidding when he said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
As a kid, I was constantly afraid. Bad things could happen to my parents; I could get beaten up at school; planes would crash, towers would fall. In junior high, I started to read books like Alas, Babylon. The charismatic end-times religion in which I invested myself in high school told me that the end of the world was imminent. I told my parents that I didn't think I was likely to live to see 30. I was psychologically ready for disaster. I vividly remember a dream in which I was shot for my beliefs. Indeed, I was ready to die.
What I wasn't prepared to do was to live.
Perhaps that's why Frank Herbert's Dune and the Bene Gesserit "Litany Against Fear" struck such a powerful chord in me as, after high school, I moved increasingly toward skepticism:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
The Litany was the start for me of transcending fear, and while I am still a fearful person, I am much less worried about the future than I once was. And so I turn to analyzing the nature of fear. And we begin at the beginning: What is it that we fear?
I would argue that what we fear is precisely what we don't know. Some examples may be illustrative:
Consider the famous Reagan/Bush "Bear in the Woods" campaign ad:
The subtext, is that since you don't know, you have to "prepared." Ironically, it was the the bear that would come to the US with a realistic proposal that would have led to complete nuclear disarmament. And it would be the US insistence on a not yet developed antimissile technology ("Star Wars") that would derail that proposal.
The other week, I had lunch with a woman who was interviewing me for a position with a non-profit (my preferred kind of work, but work in which I'm so far inexperienced). We met at a convenient spot—Ikea's cafeteria—to talk about the position over meatballs. What struck me was that as we were getting lunch, she carefully put her utensils on top of a napkin, and mentioned that she always did that because she didn't know how well they cleaned the trays.
Interviewing for a type of position I'd never had before, I felt a different kind of fear.
Job changes, moves, roller coasters, the possibility of disease—all of these things hold fear, but it is not because they in themselves are threatening. Indeed, waiting for a diagnosis of disease is, in my experience, far more unsettling than a knowledge that you have it.
What all of these have in common is that they present us with black boxes. We go in without knowing what we will find and we assume the worst.
But why should the unknown fill us with fear? Why not exhilaration? Imagine if the crew of the NCC-1701 had been like most of us—the Enterprise would have huddled in near-Earth orbit for five years.
To boldy go where no one has gone before!
In spite of the split infinitive, it suggests something. It suggests that what we do not know might not be worse than what we do know, but perhaps only different or—maybe—even better!
So let's look briefly at why organizations—I'm looking at you, churches, at you politicians, and at you, advertisers—tend to use fear. I think the answer I'm contemplating should be pretty obvious from the last paragraph:
Organizations train us in fear so that we do not contemplate other possibilities. Because other possibilities might be better. Don't like your church? You might find the one down the street more to your liking or—zounds!—maybe you're more inclined to be an atheist! But you'd better not try. The folks down the street are Catholics; and if you're an atheist, you'll burn in hell. Different is bad. Indeed, Apple Computer, which once told us to:
really meant, "Buy our stuff."
Organizations use fear of the different to keep people in line.
I'm not saying that all fears are unreasonable. It's unlikely that a world blasted by nuclear war would be better—or even simply different—from the world in which we live now. But I am saying that it's fear of difference that tends to keep us where we are, chained to the present instead of contemplating the future.
In Ray Bradbury's short story, "The Toynbee Convector," a man travels into the future, records it, and shows it to people so that they can see that the future will be better than the present. Stripped of fear of the future, they eagerly turn their hands toward building that future. It is only at the end of the story that the time traveler reveals that it was all a sham: he built the future out of papier-mâché and cardboard (this was before Photoshop) because he knew that his contemporaries feared the future. Shown that it was not to be feared, they built it.
How many of us struggle with the same problem? The devil we know is better (we think) than the devil we don't. We live in fear.
We are encouraged to fear. We encourage ourselves to fear. And, as we shall see in my (hopefully) next blog entry, much of that fear has to do with notions arising out of the way we divide up the world. We believe that good implies evil; that because Gryffindor exists, so must implies Slytherin. That the Shire implies Mordor.
But does good (always) imply evil?
*It's a University of Minnesota striped scarf, which gets mistaken for something that a Harry Potter fan might wear. I'm serious. I was visiting my old stomping ground a few years ago when I heard a guide telling prospective students that one of the cool things about the U of M was that you got to wear a "Harry Potter" scarf. Magical herbs, anyone?
**I'm a Mormon. For the benefit of non-Mormons, Fast Sunday, ordinarily the first Sunday in a given month, is an opportunity for members to spontaneously speak (briefly) about their faith in the Church or on whatever other topic upon which they feel moved to discuss. It's also a day on which members are supposed to fast for two meals and donate the money not spent to help the needy.
