JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – At First Coast No More Homeless pets on the Northside of Jacksonville, thousands of cats and dogs are saved from being euthanized every year. But tending to the number of feral cats in Jacksonville remains one of its top priorities.
"Approximately 167,000 feral cats in Duval County alone," development director Dianne Wiles said. "It's hard to truly grasp that number, but you can drive in just about any neighborhood in Jacksonville during the dusk hours and the evening hours and see homeless cats wandering around."
Since 2008, the clinic has spayed and neutered more than 20,000 feral cats. FCNMHP provides the resources to address the issue. It's just asking for local residents' help.
"If you see ferals or community cats in your neighborhood, we have traps available," Wiles said. "It's very easy to trap them and it's better to do that before the problem gets out of hand, and it can get out of hand pretty quickly. Those two cats can turn into 20 very fast."
Through a partnership with Channel 4, FCNMHP is opening up 100 free surgeries Saturday. Residents can bring their pet cats or ferals in to be spayed or neutered.
"We decided we wanted to open this up to the community and spark some excitement on getting your pet spayed and neutered because that's really the solution to ending the euthanasia to adoptable pets," Wiles said.
The check in and drop off time Saturday will be from 7:30-8:30 a.m., and pickup will be between 4 and 6 p.m.
Feral cats must come in a humane trap. If you need one, you can pick one up from the clinic off Norwood Avenue.

The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation and the Scripps Research Institute Partner to Advance Genomic Breast Cancer Research
Sioux Falls, SD, Jupiter, FL, La Jolla, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation and The Scripps Research Institute(TSRI) today announced a dynamic, interdisciplinary collaboration that will lay the groundwork for significant advancements in personalized breast cancer treatment and care.
Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Research will leverage TSRIs expertise in genomic sequencing as it embarks on a proof-of-concept study to reveal the differences between a womans normal genome and her breast tumor genome during the progression of disease. The project marks an important milestone for Edith Sanford, as it will establish research protocols to frame larger-scale studies that will help pioneer the integration of genomics into breast cancer research and patient care.
Edith Sanford is thrilled to partner with Scripps Research, an institution that is on the cutting-edge of genomics, and harness their expertise and technological capabilities in our work to accelerate these discoveries from the bench to bedside, said Brian Leyland Jones, MB BS, PhD, director of Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Research. This partnership will facilitate the translation of large-scale sequencing data into meaningful information that will help us understand how to more precisely and accurately treat breast cancer patients based on their DNA profiles.
Specifically, Edith Sanford will provide TSRI with tissue samples from 25 breast cancer patients for analysis to identify the changes in genes and proteins that are linked to the cancer and Edith Sanford will then validate these findings through clinical testing.
Scripps Research is committed to helping accelerate the work of Edith Sanford to bring to patients the lifesaving potential of forward genomic research, said Brandon Young, director of the Genomics and Cell-Based Screening Core Lab at Scripps Florida. We are excited to work with Edith Sanford as it is establishing a genomics program that will transform the way we think about and treat breast cancer.
Young and colleagues, Nicholas Schork, PhD, Ali Torkamani, PhD, and Andrew Su, PhD, at Scripps California, and the Genomics Core at Scripps Florida will be working jointly with the research team at Edith Sanford.
Additionally, in order to mine and accurately interpret vast sets of patient data produced in this field of research, Edith Sanford recently established the foundation for a leading bioinformatics program through the hire of Scooter Willis, PhD, as its director of computational bioinformatics. Dr. Willis is a specialist in computer science and engineering and brings expertise in the genomic analysis of expression data from the fast-moving field of next-generation sequencing. He will also work closely with TSRI and play a vital role in facilitating the partnership.
The prestigious partnership with TSRI, which Leland-Jones confirms is the first of many high-caliber collaborations, and the ongoing recruitment of leading scientific experts, are pivotal steps for Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Research as it positions itself as a national hub for breast cancer genomic research.
Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Research is supported by the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating breast cancer through genomic and translational research. Thanks to a transformational gift that launched the Foundation in 2011 and will catalyze its future growth, Edith Sanford is able to commit 100 percent of every contribution to its research program.
To change the course of breast cancer, our research team is pursuing collaborations to bring together the brightest minds from different scientific fields to quickly move the field of breast cancer research, treatment and care, said Kimberly Simpson Earle, president of the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation.
About the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation
The Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation is pioneering a bold new comprehensive approach to breast cancer, with a mission to unlock each woman's genetic code, advance today's prevention and treatment, and end breast cancer for future generations. Edith Sanford Breast Cancer is pursuing cutting-edge translational genomic research to identify specific treatments that will work best for each person, prevent the disease on an individual basis, and ultimately eradicate breast cancer. To accelerate the research and advances in care, a cornerstone of this ground-breaking organization is our biobank a shared collection of genetic information from people of all ages, medical histories and backgrounds that provides researchers easy access to data.
The launch of this movement began with a gift from Denny Sanford, who tragically lost his mother, Edith, to breast cancer when he was just four years old. For more information about the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation, visit edithsanford.org or call 1-855-GO-EDITH (463-3484).

MONTREAL — Federation CJA in Montreal announced July 10 that it has created of a humanitarian relief fund to provide "immediate aid" to victims of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy.
The early morning July 6 derailment of a U.S.-operated, 73-car freight train carrying crude oil and the explosions that followed are feared to have killed 50 people, as well as left 2,000 out of the town's 6,000 population evacuated from their residences or homeless and destroyed 30 buildings – half of the town's centre.
The town is located about 250 kilometres from Montreal in the Eastern Townships (l'Estrie).
"We are all horrified about the tragic loss of lives and devastation stemming from last weekend's train derailment in Lac-Mégantic," Federation CJA president David Cape said in a statement.
"We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the families affected."
Federation CJA said that "100 per cent of all proceeds collected by [the] fund will be directed to relief efforts on the ground through the Red Cross and other appropriate channels.
"The Montreal Jewish community is standing together in support of our fellow Quebecers," Cape said.
To contribute to the Lac-Mégantic Disaster Relief Fund, visit: federationcja.org/lacmegantic or call 514-345-2600.

Thanks to its three long stretches of coastline, France has plenty of great beaches. From upmarket resorts to the secluded calanques (coves) and beaches steeped with historical significance, there are a variety of opportunities for fans of the sand. Our selection of 20 top beaches was taken from the latest Rough Guide to France.
Barneville, Barneville-Carteret, Normandy
Both sides of these twinned towns have good stretches of sand, but visitors who prefer to stay right beside a beach should head for Barneville, directly across the mouth of the bay. Here, an endless exposed stretch of clean, firm sand is backed by a long row of weather-beaten villas and the occasional hotel.
Wissant, Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Some 20km south of Calais, Wissant is a small, attractive place, popular with windsurfers and weekending Britons drawn to its enormous beach. It's long been a preferred beach and has an interesting history as Julius Caesar launched his expedition to England from here in 55BC.
Utah Beach, Normany
This, the westernmost of the Invasion Beaches, is steeped in history. On D-Day, 23,000 men and 1700 vehicles landed here. A minor coast road traces the edge of the dunes and enables visitors to follow the course of the fighting. Ships deliberately sunk to create artificial breakwaters are visible at low tide, and markers along the seafront commemorate individual fallen heroes.
Les Sables-D'Olonne, Pays de la Loire
Although the town fringes are rather overdeveloped, the centre of Les Sables-D'Olonne retains some of its gaudy charm and is a popular destination for its vast curve of pristine beach. There is plenty to do here from sailing to surfing – the surf is perfect for beginners.
Calvi, Corsica
This beach sweeps round the bay from the end of Quai Landry, but most of the first kilometre or so is owned by bars which rent out sun loungers for a hefty price. To avoid these, follow the track behind the sand, which will bring you to the start of a more secluded stretch. The sea might not be as sparklingly clear as at many other Corsican beaches, but it's warm, shallow and free of rocks.
Porto, Corsica
The beach of Porto consists of a pebbly cove just beyond the shoulder of the massive rock supporting the tower. To reach it from the marina, follow the little road that skirts the rock, cross the wooden bridge which spans the River Porto on your left, then walk through the car park under the trees. Although it's rather rocky and exposed, and the sea very deep, the great crags overshadowing the shore give the place a vivid, wild atmosphere.
St-Jean-de-Luz, Aquitaine
With its fine sandy bay – the most protected of the Basque beaches – and magnificent old quarter speckled with half-timbered mansions, St-Jean-de-Luz (Donibane Lohitzun) remains the most attractive resort on the Basque coast, despite being overrun by families in peak season.
Plage de Saleccia, Corsica
A huge sweep of soft, white sand and turquoise sea, this beach was used at the location for the invasion sequences in the film The Longest Day. The beach is difficult to reach – a five and a half hour walk from the protected nature reserve of Désert des Agriates – but it's worth it as it's one of the beaches along this rugged coastline.
Bandol, Provence-Alps- Côte-d'Azur
From the Port de la Madrague, at the eastern end of Les Lecques' bay, there is a signposted 10km coastal path runs through a stretch of secluded beaches and unspoilt calanques (steep-walled coves) to the unpretentious resort of Bandol.
The Bay of Lannion, Brittany
Despite being set significantly back from the sea on the estuary of the River Léguer, Lannion gives its name to a huge coastal bay – and it's the bay rather than the town that is most likely to impress. One enormous beach stretches from St-Michel-en-Grève, which is little more than a bend in the road, as far as Locquirec; at low tide you can walk hundreds of metres out on the sands.
St Malo, Britanny
Beyond the walls of St Malo's citadelle (fortress) is a huge beach that stretches east beyond the featureless resort-suburb of Paramé. When the tide is low, it's safe to walk out to the tiny island of Grand-Bé – the walk is so popular that sometimes you even need to queue to get onto the short causeway. Solemn warnings are posted of the dangers of attempting to return from the island when the tide has risen too far – if you're too late, you can't get back.
Cap Blanc-Nez – Cap Gris-Nez, Pas de Calais
Just here, between the prominent headlands of Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez, the D940 coast road winds high above the sea, allowing you to appreciate the "opal" in the name – the sea and sky merging in an opalescent, oyster-grey continuum. The southern part of the coast is flatter, and the beach, uninterrupted for 40km, is backed by pine-anchored dunes and brackish tarns, punctuated by German pillboxes toppled over by the shifting sands.
Plage Marbella and Plage de la Côte des Basques, Biarritz
These beaches, situated south of a rocky outcrop, are two clear kilometres of sand and surf, although the latter loses its sandy beach at high tide leaving perilous rocks to circumnavigate the way back to land. A number of surf schools and board-hire companies can be found at the north end near the old town.
Plage de Palombaggia, Corsica
A golden semicircle of sand edged by short twisted umbrella pines and red rocks, the plage de Palombaggia is south Corsica's trademark beach, and indisputably one of the most beautiful bays in Europe. Come here outside the school holidays, when it's not overwhelmingly crowded, and you'll find it hard to resist the striking colours and serene, clear water. Just south of here are two other smaller, quieter beaches – Cala di la Folaca and the Plage d'Acciaju – where the sand is just as white and the water equally translucent.
Côte Sauvage, Poitou-Charentes
For a gloriously unspoilt stretch of sand head to Côte Sauvage, a wild and highly unswimmable part of the Atlantic coastline, where the stormy seas look like snowy mountain tops. The sheltered eastern side has safe and calm sandy beaches, and plenty of campsites.
Golfe de Morbihan
For plenty of choice, the sheltered Golfe du Morbihan – meaning "little sea" in Breton – is one of the loveliest stretches of Brittany's coast. While its only large town, medieval Vannes, is well worth visiting, its endlessly indented shoreline is the major attraction, with superb vistas at every turn, and countless secluded beaches. It is said that the gulf used to hold an island for every day of the year, but rising seas have now left fewer than one per week.
Plage des Dames, Île de Noirmoutier
Île de Noirmoutier is a 20km-long island of sandy inlets, pine forests and salt marshes. In the busiest of the island's towns lies the most famous of its beaches, Plage des Dames, with quaint little painted bathing huts and fine yellow sand.
Grand Plage, Biarritz
This legendary beach, great for showing off your board and sun tan is sited on the north edge of the old town by the famous casino. With its golden sand, beautiful views and famous backdrop, people come in their droves to see and be seen. Consequently restrictions on the number of bathers and surfers come in to force at busier times.
Le Stes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Provence
A line of beaches, sculpted into little crescents by stone breakwaters and busy with bathers and windsurfers in summer, stretches away west from Stes-Maries' central core of white-painted, orange-tiled houses, while the pleasure port to the east offers boat trips to the lagoons and fishing expeditions.
Plage d'Argent, The Côte D'Azur
This is the nearest beach to the 19th century military settlement of Porquerolles, on the Île de Porquerolles. Plage d'Argent is a 500m strip of white sand, fringing a curving bay backed by pine forests and has a pleasant restaurant.

I've always found it amusing that Angel Falls — the highest waterfall on Earth, and, consequently, a lifelong destination for tourists everywhere — is so difficult to visit.
It's located in Canaima National Park, which can only be accessed by air. Once you've reached the main Canaima camp, your only shot at seeing the falls up close involves a two-day trip up-river to their base. There, low-lying clouds are notorious for robbing sightseers of a decent view.
In other words, to see Angel Falls, you really have to work for it (or at least pay for it). And it is this fact that makes an interactive aerial panorama of Angel Falls feel almost like cheating. Almost. Here's what you do:
1. Click this link to visit AirPano.
2. Choose whether you want to experience Angel Falls in hi-res or low-res.
3. Use the on-screen controls to zoom/switch cam locations, then click and drag to explore in any direction you choose.
4. Pretend you're Uma Thurman and that you're being gifted a freshly minted Hattori Hanzō sword while overlooking Angel Falls from a helicopter. Or don't. You can mute the music, or change it to the sound of a waterfall.
That's it. If you enjoyed this, you'll definitely want to check out these interactive panoramas of nearby Dragon and Cortina Falls. In fact, pretty much all of AirPano's aerial 3D panoramas look absolutely stunning.

Under cover of night, Sir Stalin directs Trotsky to bring them to the south wing of the castle wall where the Purple Wizard Corpse told them they'd be able to gain entry.
Sir Stalin the Bear: Silent-Sigfig
Sir IVasscus the Monkey: IVhorseman
Trotsky the Horse: NPC, answers to Stalin's voice commands
VladTron Fortress Garrison: NPC, currently not on alert. They're on the lookout; Stalin and IVasscus will have to make Stealth rolls every turn they're not in the War Carriage.
Same stats as before, with the following changes:
Stalin and IVasscus now have Magic Armor. This gives them the Armored bonus without making them Slow. They still can't swim though, so don't fall in the water.
Stalin's Bear Strength means that on every turn he can do one of the following:
- 6. attempt a Feat of Strength/Communism,
7. use the Compensating Specialty as if he were a Heavy, or
8. add +1d6 to Damage for CC and Thrown Weapons.
- 6. attempt a Feat of Acrobatics/Trickery, or
7. use the Spider Gymnastix Specialty.
- Your Goal: Break into the castle, sabotage the drawbridge so that it'll be open when the Army of Mocia arrives, and escape.
Secret Agenda: Win the Crown of Mocia by impressing King MethHouse and making the other knights look like buffoons. (Avoid killing them outright though, since that will likely count against you when MethHouse makes his decision.)
Because it's just you two against NPCs, you can just post orders right here in the thread (unless you want to sabotage each other, in which case you can secretly PM me as needed).

So this has to do with wedding planning, which I was doing last year at this time… :) I actually have been meaning to write this post and I just kept forgetting. It's almost the weekend… and I kind of feel like I'm coming down with a cold so the working out, besides the run the other day has been limited until my nose gets unplugged. Anyways, back to what is at hand, and what we have here is pretty awesome.
So one thing that I really put off towards the end of the planning stages was the dreaded seating chart. I don't know why but I just wasn't looking forward to doing it at all. I didn't want to have to deal with cutting out little pieces of paper and putting them at different tables on a huge poster board and thought to myself, there has to be some way to make a list of all the guests you are having at your event, and then drag their name to each table to fill the chairs. This said program has to exist online. So I did some googling.
You should also be able to make the tables correspond with how many guests you want to have at each table. This program has to exist right?
Aftergoogling I realized… IT DOES! It's called Social Tables. I used it to plan the seating chart for our guests at our wedding and it was SO simple and made planning SO easy. I could rearrange it when someone got separated from their guest, or when two people didn't get along ;) It also takes away the 'guest' in the main list once they are placed at a table so you don't have to worry about placing them twice.
I made an account, inputted all my guests names and started planning out our seating chart. Also, when you log in, they have people who are available for live chatting, which is helpful as well. They quickly answered any questions I had regarding the process, but it's pretty self explanatory.
Once you select your event, the next page takes you to the guest list and shows you how to drag and drop your guests to whatever table you want to place them at. SO simple. It keeps their name at the table so you can see who is sitting by who, and how many seats are taken at each table.
Here's my seating chart for the wedding. You can see on the sidebar my guest list and how they are faded. The names fade once they are seated.
THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST THING EVER. I wish I had to plan more events with seating charts because it's awesome and the simplicity of it is the best part of it. I like keeping things simple and this makes planning a seating chart so easy. So if you have to do any planning, check out Social Tables, you won't be disappointed at all.
I also used it and then typed out who was at each table and gave it to the people who did our wedding and requested the seating chart, and they had no problem reading it or understanding who was at each table, so that means that it's super easy to understand. :)
It literally was like my idea that I had in my head online. Genius I tell you. I know this doesn't related to running, but this product is radical and FREE. It's easy to use and I wanted to share the social table love with the Internet because it made the planning process so easy for me. :)
Happy Weekend!

The Stage Builder is a feature in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that allows players to create their own custom stages.
Builders must choose to create a small, medium, or large stage, which will affect the number of parts that can be placed and the location of blast lines. Next, the builder selects a theme: a mountain, a ruined building, or a futuristic chamber. Each theme has its own set of special stage elements, which allow for slight variations in stage design depending on what theme is used. The final step before building is picking a song, which can be any track that has been unlocked. However, only one song may be used per stage. Then, the terrain must be set. There are different structures and building materials the player can use depending on the background chosen earlier. There are also three different sizes for most of the structures. The player, however, is limited in the number of parts they can use per stage. Each piece used will use up so much memory for the map, and some pieces take up more memory than others. Once ready, the player can test the stage through the editor (only Mario can be used though), then switch back to the editing screen if they want to make any more changes. The players can also send stages to their friends, and they are compatible with SD cards. Stages can only be had as long as there is room in the internal Wii memory and SD card.
In addition, this mode comes packed with interactive terrain objects. For example, players can make platforms that will move up or down, or side-to-side. This will create many options for map makers. There are also "traps," like spikes for example, that can be implemented into the map. Ultimately, in this mode, the players are limited by their own level of creativity (and memory usage). Many people have even modeled stages after Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee stages.
Types of Parts
Types of parts the player can use in this mode range from standard pieces, like blocks and ramps and stairs, to structures, like, ferris wheels, trees and mushrooms and rock arches, to features, like the Drop Blocks, which begin falling if stepped on long enough. Drop Blocks eventually respawn, and can only be activated from above, making it possible to make one-way doors of a sort. However, drop blocks will drop if items are spawned on them. To get the true effect of a one-way door, one must turn off items. There are also ice blocks. Walking/running on them lowers characters' traction (excluding the Ice Climbers) and there is higher chance of tripping. Also the ledges of ice blocks can't be grabbed, which may lead to deaths if not aware of this. If the building area contains only features or structures (excluding the special blocks), the players may get an error message that says they must add horizontal platforms.
They are divided in:
Starter parts
There are three catagories of parts: Floors, Structures and Features. In this following part the order will go by name, use, if it varied with the different theme (not texture) and how many cubic squares it uses.
- Platform: A drop through platform, texture, 1x1
- Diagonal Platform: A slanted drop throught platform, texture, 1x2
- Short Platform: A halfsized drop throught platform, texture, 1x1
- Block: a normal block, Probably most used Stage Builder Part, texture, 1x1
- Stair Block: A simple stair block; able to walk up properly, texture, 1x2
- Slanted Block: A right-angle triangle shaped block able to be walked on; characters slide downwards when on it, texture, 1x2
- Long Slanted block: A bigger version of the Slanted Block, texture, 2x2
1st part:
- Mountains: Slightly slanted object, 2x4
- Ruins: Pillar, good for wall jumping, 3x3
- Chamber: a slanted block, quite simple, 2x4
2nd part:
- Mountains: A stubby platform simply used as a stepping stone or a perch to spam projectiles, 2x3
- Ruins: Stone slanted block, flat then slanted on the right side, 2x4
- Chamber: see through block, similar to Norfair's safe area (although more cubical), 3x4
3rd part:
- Mountains: platform with a 'hidden alcove under it, kind of horseshoe shaped, 3x4
- Ruins: A platform with a top, good for upward combo's, 3x4
- Chamber: Slanted platform that changes into a higher straight, background has a small handrail, 2x4
4th part:
- Mountains: a tree with low left and upper right branches to perch on, 3x4
- Ruins: slanted stone block, 2x4
- Chamber: little stepping stone like platform, similar to the Mountains's second structure, 2x3
5th part:
- Mountains: Three mushrooms that act as solid platforms, The largest at the top/middle, the Normal size at the middle/right and the smallest at the bottom/left, 3x4
- Ruins: Small pillar with slanted platform, top platform drop throught,
- Chamber: A straight platform with end points that stop any player from falling by running, 2x4
6th part:
- Mountains
- Ruins: Three pillars together, similar to the mountain's 6th part, 3x4
- Chamber: A special platform that has a pass-through top, a thin middle wall that separates the two sides, all in the shape of an uppercase I, 3x4
7th part:
- Mountains: A see through platform similar to Norfair's safe area, 3x4
- Ruins: A little house with a floor on the left, home to the right and a chimney to perch on, 3x4
- Chamber: A pillar, good for wall-jumping that has a little top to stand on, 3x3
8th part:
- Mountains: A pillar with a face, good for wall-jumping, 3x3
- Ruins: A see through platform with a wall on the right side, and a pass-through top, 3x4
- Chamber: A trapzoid shaped block, used on top of 'tower' stages, 2x4
- Moving platforms: One goes up and down and the other goes left and right; drop throught, no, left and right 3x1, up and down 1x5
- Ice block: Causes more Prat Falls and makes players slide even when they're not moving, no, 1x1
- Drop block: Drops after about 2 seconds if a character's standing on it and drops until offscreen, no, 1x3
- Spikes: Causes 15 damage when hit by spike, computers hit these a lot and struggle to get away, no, 1x2
- Ladder: Simple climbable ladder, no, 1x1
Unlockable Parts
There are also certain parts and features that can be unlocked to use in the Stage Builder.
There must be an opening in the stage to fall out of in order to unlock parts A, B, and C.
In other words, 15 CD factories can't be made to unlock Edit Parts C. Players must exit out of stage builder when done to unlock the challenge.
- Spring: Green or Orange spring, 1x2
- Conveyor belt: Moving conveyor belt moves all things in one direction, no, 2x2
- Rotating Platform: Spins four platforms in a Ferris Wheel motion, no, 4x5
- Edit Parts A: Play 10 times or more on custom stages.
- Edit Parts B: Create 5 or more stages in stage builder (not including the 3 sample stages).
- Edit Parts C: Create 15 or more stages in stage builder (not including the 3 sample stages).
- The futuristic chamber background is similar to the background in the Subspace Emissary's Research Facility II, where players fight the two False Samuses or when Samus first encounters Ridley. Similarly, the ruins background can be seen in the distance behind part of The Ruins.
- A computer based stage editor, called Stage Studio, has been created. It allows the user to create a stage and bypass some of the usual stage builder restriction. (It enables blocks to overlap, increased number of blocks can be used, etc.) It also allows players to use the beta block, also known as the "bump" which is just a bump. If a player decides to edit a stage that has a bump on Stage Builder, the platform sprite will show instead of the bump. When a player tries to select a bump or tests the stage, the game will freeze.
- The stage background with the haunted house is the very same one as played in the Subspace Emissary when first playing Ivysaur.
- Some glitches, such as the Jump Through Walls Glitch and the Teleport Glitch, have been found while creating custom stages. Several videos in the internet have approved this.
- In the game Super Mario Bros X there is a level editor that is similar to Stage Builder.

Green Occupation:
49-2094.00 - Electrical and Electronics Repairers, Commercial and Industrial Equipment
Green occupations will likely change as a result of the green economy. Green economy activities and technologies are increasing the demand for occupations, shaping the work and worker requirements needed for occupational performance, or generating new and emerging occupations.
This is a Green Increased Demand occupation — green economy activities and technologies are likely to increase the employment demand, but will not lead to significant changes in the work and worker requirements.
Electrical and electronics repairers, commercial and industrial equipment work in the following green economy sectors:
- Manufacturing — This sector covers activities related to industrial manufacturing of green technology as well as energy efficient manufacturing processes.
- Research, Design, and Consulting Services — This sector encompasses "indirect jobs" to the green economy which includes activities such as energy consulting or research and other related business services.

Some years ago, TCS conducted a fascinating survey and reported the results in the paper journal, Taking Children Seriously (TCS 23). We asked: "Which of the following things are so important that children must do them even if they cannot be persuaded to, and are distressed at being forced to?" The results are both fascinating and useful for those of us striving to take our real children seriously in our real lives. Noticing and understanding the phenomenon that the survey highlights can dissolve fears and help us question our unchallenged false assumptions. Several readers have asked for this to be made available on the TCS web site, so here it is.
On the TCS List a while back, there was a most interesting discussion about bedtime and tooth-brushing. One parent who was entirely relaxed and non-coercive about bedtime nevertheless asserted that if children refuse to brush their teeth, it is 'necessary' to hold them down and brush their teeth forcibly. Another parent, who was defending as 'necessary' the practice of forcing children to go to bed against their will, had no trouble in allowing them the last word in regard to their teeth. Each of these parents was contemptuous about the other's position, but completely unable to see reason in their own case. They were making essentially the same arguments against each other's positions. But they did not find them convincing: on the contrary, each seemed literally unable to understand what the other was saying.
Such amazing blindness may seem puzzling. It doesn't make sense if you have in mind the idea that parents behave as they do for the reasons they give. In fact, the causality is normally in the opposite direction: from behaviour to justifications. What happens is that parents find themselves overwhelmingly compelled to behave in a certain way, and then they unconsciously invent a plausible justification. When, under criticism, one of these justifications begins to seem inadequate, they invent another, while holding the behaviour itself inviolate. Thus the pattern of issues over which parents are prepared to distress their children depends entirely on the entrenched 'fixed points' in the parents' own makeup – which in turn are caused by the patterns and accidents of their own lives, especially the style of coercion in their own childhoods.
Needless to say, few parents would recognise this description of themselves. Almost all of them believe that their particular pattern of coercion is, above all, meaningful. They believe that they are coercive only when the issue is sufficiently important, and that (borderline cases aside) it is reasonably obvious which issues are very important and which are trivial. Thus they believe that they choose the issues over which they are prepared to distress their children, using an objective criterion of importance. Where the issue is important enough, they will be coercive if necessary, where it is less important, they will not.
The conventional terminology of 'strict' vs. 'lenient' parents reflects this belief in a reasonably uncontroversial order of importance of various issues. A 'strict' parent is one who enforces even the less important items; a 'lenient' parent is one who enforces only the most important items. People differ in how strict or lenient they are, but they believe that everyone is in broad agreement on the order of importance of various issues: matters of personal safety come above matters of social convention, for instance. Obviously! That is why parents find it disconcerting when they discover that there is no consensus at all about which is which. They encounter another parent, apparently well-meaning and perfectly sane in every other respect, who is highly coercive over an 'unimportant' issue, but non-coercive over a 'very important' issue. It demonstrates to them that this scale of 'importance' on which they believe they are basing their decisions is neither obvious nor uncontroversial. It is not an objective source of justification for their pattern of coercion, but is simply a subjective statement of the fact that they feel an inner need to be coercive over some issues and not others.
If this is so, you would expect the situation of two parents, one of whom is coercive over issue A and not issue B and another who is coercive over issue B and not issue A, to be very common. We predicted that it would occur over every pair of issues over which children are commonly coerced. Another prediction was that although some issues very commonly give rise to coercion and others very rarely do, nevertheless the fact that someone advocates coercion over a given issue would be a very poor predictor of whether that person also advocates coercion over any other issue. In that sense you would expect people's patterns of coercion to be haphazard, and not correlated as would presumably be the case if the various issues really could be ranked in an objective order of importance.
We decided to put these predictions to the test. We devised a questionnaire asking people to state which issues they thought were important enough to justify coercion. Then we posted the request shown below in as many relevant places on the Internet as we could think of:
Recently the folks on the TCS (Taking Children Seriously) List have been discussing different definitions of 'coercion' in childrearing, and the various circumstances in which it may or may not be necessary. It seems that there are remarkably many different definitions and opinions, perhaps one per parent, but one thing that virtually all parents seem to agree on is this: there are some things perhaps very few which children simply have to do (or have done to them, as the case may be) whether they like it or not.
We are conducting a survey to try to identify what this inner core of things is. We are not referring to extreme situations but only to quite ordinary ones that can be expected to arise regularly in normal family life. We have compiled a list of suggested situations. What we would like you to do, if you want to help in the survey, is to answer the following question:
Which of the following things are so important that children must do them even if they cannot be persuaded to, and are distressed at being forced to:
And here we listed 16 issues over which everyday coercion of children is common, asking people to check the relevant issues.
We received 318 usable replies, and the percentages of respondents who checked each issue are shown in decreasing order in the following table:
The average number of issues checked per respondent was about nine out of the sixteen. If the order of popularity of these issues reflected anything like an objective order of importance, you would expect a 'typical' respondent to check something like the nine most popular issues (i.e. the first nine issues in the table above). But in fact, not a single actual respondent replied in that way, and the great majority replied very differently: the average respondent answered over 5 of the 16 questions differently from that 'typical' response. (Even if the responses had been totally random, this average deviation would have been only 8.) 78% of the respondents gave a set of responses that no one else had given.
Now, let's consider only the most coercive of the respondents, namely those who checked 10 or more of the 16 issues. There was not a single issue that all of them checked! This was a much more extreme corroboration of my prediction than I had been expecting. Just think what it means. Here is a group of people who all advocate coercion over vast swathes of children's lives. Yet there is not a single issue on the list that they all agree warrants coercion. Thus, even in this very coercive group you can find someone who would prefer a child to play with fire than to be distressed, and someone who would allow a child to refuse a vaccination if it distressed him, and so on for every single issue.
Now consider the least coercive respondents, namely those who checked 5 or fewer issues. There was not a single issue that all of them left unchecked. These are all people who refuse to coerce children even in areas where the great majority of people think coercion is necessary. Yet there is not a single issue on the list which these 'lenient' people all agree does not warrant coercion. There are those among them who would force a distressed child to eat vegetables; there are others who would force a child to attend church against his will, and so on for every single issue.
The phenomenon that started this whole investigation off can indeed be observed for every pair of issues, not just tooth-brushing and bedtime. That is, for every pair of issues A and B in the list, there were respondents who thought that A warrants coercion but B does not, and others who thought that B warrants coercion and A does not.
As the table above shows, there was a large majority – up to 70% – in favour of coercion over some of the issues. Nevertheless, as predicted, favouring coercion over any one issue is not a good predictor of favouring coercion over any other issue, even an issue that the majority considers more important. Responses to different issues were only weakly correlated. The correlations are shown here. (A correlation coefficient of 1 between two issues would indicate perfect correlation, i.e. that everyone who checked either of the issues also checked the other one. A correlation coefficient of 1 would indicate perfect anti-correlation, i.e. that no one who checked either of the issues also checked the other one. A correlation coefficient of zero would indicate that checking either of the issues is no guide to whether one will check the other one.) The highest correlation coefficient between any two issues was 0.52 and the lowest was 0.01.
We did not ask for further information from the respondents, but about half of them made comments in addition to checking the relevant issues. Many of these comments gave reasons why the respondent considered some issues and not others to be important enough to warrant distressing a child. The most common criterion given was that matters of 'health' and/or 'safety' were the only ones to warrant coercion. But although many respondents agreed on that criterion, there was virtually no agreement about which set of issues meet the criterion – in fact, as indicated above, the great majority gave a set of responses that no one else gave.
One respondent – apparently not a lunatic but an academic with delusions of grandeur – asked us angrily whether we had 'received any institutional approval to conduct this study with human participants.' This weird complaint does not deserve a reply but it does prompt us to say a few words about the scientific status of this whole exercise. This was not a survey to find out what proportion of the population favours coercing children over the various issues. As such, it would have been fatally flawed by the non-randomness of the sample. The purpose – which was spectacularly achieved – was to demonstrate, by finding specific examples, that the phenomenon we had noticed on the TCS List was not an isolated one. The fact that so many of the hundreds of people who chose to reply to the questionnaire believe that so many of the others have got their priorities the wrong way round is very hard to explain in the conventional terms of 'strict' vs. 'lenient' enforcement of a larger or smaller core of objectively important things. Most of us can see quite easily the irrationality of many other people's justifications for coercing children. But it is in the nature of irrationality that we cannot see our own.

Interesting survey. I admit I would never have guessed you would get those results.

Aren't they strict or lenient about different things? We all have different life experiences. Maybe I'm not getting something but I'm not *convinced* you've proved anything here. How is this useful?
What does it prove?
Submitted by Annette Abma on
The survey strongly illustrates that the reasons for coercing children are dubious and arbitrary, entirely dependent on the opinion of the parents rather than any agreed-upon objective truth. Is it right to coerce children? No. Is it right to coerce children if one is convinced that the coercion is justified? Well...here is a three-part answer: No. No. No. The "conviction" such coercion is based upon is irrational, illustrated by the fact that there is no common agreement and hence no approximation to objective truth.

What this does show is that surveys, even well designed ones, can be interpreted in various ways. Human behavior and the human mind is just that variable.
People read questions differently by virtue of being individuals with different interpretations. Playing with fire, is this in the atrium of a theater with gasoline soaked rags, or is it lighting matches in the wind, or is it running through the edges of a campfire? Even this, what does "playing" with fire mean? Less ambivalent is the question about Eating vegetables. If we know what eating is and a vegetable is, then we can have a clear opinion about it, although not what vegetable or vegetables are in question. Also not eating vegetables, rutabagas for example, is unlikely to have an immediate harmful effect on anyone, and does not imperil others.
Surveys are interesting. They do not tell us much. Surveys appear rational but are usually irrational in their implications and artificially defined when presenting the world in yes or no terms. They do stimulate good discussion, which can be inquiring and rational, but should not be counted on for anything more than that, the proverbial "straw man" view of the world.
They tell us that humans are variable in their views of things. They do not tell us much about coercion other than this: interpretation of coercion and necessity is to some degree in the eyes of the beholders.

To see something that is worth discussing, do look at the specific correlations. While not 100%, some clusters of ideas do fit together, tend to correlate. Apparently Learning to Read correlates loosely with Please and Thank You and Learning to Swim. Brushing Teeth and Religious Observance and Doing Chores fit loosely. Check for yourself. Ideas do cluster, as if there are some things that fit together, even illogically. The lower correlatations tend to be in those areas that are thought of as dangerous, as if in some way they tend to stand on their own.

I think you are missing the logic of what they were doing here. It clearly does demonstrate that these decisions are irrational or arbitrary.
Re: What does it prove?

I sure hope you're joking. Clearly you've never had children or have been around children. You would really advocate that a person not give a child vaccination shots just because the child is distressed? I guess we know whose child is going to die from lockjaw.
The fact that there's no agreement among parents explains why there are so many mean, spoiled, rude, unhealthy, etc., people out there. Their parents didn't teach them right. That is an objective truth.
building current theories into parenting

"You don't believe that it's important to immunize children?"
my tentative, best theory is that shots are a good idea. however, i could be wrong. thus, i do not want to build my theory about shots, or yours, into parenting theory. parenting theory, if taken seriously, is FOREVER. that's why it should be based on error correction instead of this or that current theory.

Playing with Fire -- coercion?
Submitted by Julie (not verified) on
Since playing with fire was the number one issue making parents likely to coerce their children, I was reminded of my father's reaction when he discovered that my sister and I were playing with fire. He took us out into the woods and built a fire with us. We roasted marshmallows, a very pleasant memory. :-) I don't recall feeling the need to play with fire after that, for some reason.

Today is yet another day I have been dreading.
Separation anxiety can be a nightmare at the best of times. Knowing, like most anxiety, that I'm being completely irrational doesn't really ease the nerves when faced with an uncomfortable situation. When it comes to my son, I tell myself frequently that I WILL NOT allow my situation to affect him. Of course, in many ways it does, given that there is places I cant take him. But I remain positive that one day I will join him, and in the mean time he can experience the big wide world with other family members.
So that's all fine in theory. But the minute I get a call from someone asking if he's free I am filled with dread. I wont deny him his day away, but I dread how I'll mentally/physically react to it.
When family want to take him away there's a certain degree of flexibility. I tell myself that should I panic, I will never give in and call them to ask him to be brought home. But in the back of my mind I have the comfort that should I NEED to do that, I can. So far that has never happened.
However, when its something else, for example, a hospital appointment or important meeting, then my control is taken away. Again with the CONTROL.
So today is an appointment that we have been waiting on for months! About a year ago I was told that Nathan should be tested for Autism, and at the time I readily agreed that he needed the test. His behaviour was quite strange at times and he was definitely ticking some of the boxes. Since then I am less convinced that Nathan has autism but it is an important assessment that needs to be done. At least I will be closer to knowing for sure. For Nathan to miss this appointment would mean I would be up against my own horrendous guilt. Prolonged anxiety which I will have created by not letting him go, leading me to then worry that I was going to start doing this for every appointment. The appointment would be moved back so therefor I would still need to go through the whole process eventually, why delay it? I would have health visitors, Doctors etc judging me and perhaps even quite concerned by my behaviour and most importantly, I would be doing my son a huge disservice.
And so with the appointment approaching I put on my determined head and promised myself, that even if I couldn't attend it with him, due to distance, then I would go through every panic attack that hit me and endure each wave of fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
We are told repeatedly that the more we challenge these thoughts and behaviours, the less our anxiety will succeed. Our body's and minds will become used to the challenges and we will experience lesser and lesser reactions in difficult times. Sounds great in theory but I am constantly challenging this particular fear and the horrendous battle that takes places doesn't feel to be decreasing THAT much.
For someone who doesn't experience separation anxiety then just compare this to whatever your challenge may be. This is the same reaction I would have when trying to push my physical boundaries, however, even in that situation I feel I would have more control as id simply turn the car around and head back to my little safe bubble.
But where is the escape for me today? I cant stop my son going to his appointment, and so here I am ready to ride it out. And right now, as I write, I am riding those familiar waves.
I was actually less nervous as the appointment approached. Less nervous than I would usually be, a good sign! I had my new medication on hand should I need it, as I did last time. And the usual coping techniques that I have use time and time again.
Plan Of Attack!!
Keep busy on the morning of the appointment. Don't allow myself to sit about an over think.
Hand Nathan over and get my head distracted by something else.
If the anxiety is getting too much, step the distraction up a gear. Do some big job in the house that i have been avoiding (Wallpapering anyone?)
If the anxiety is still not passing, call someone to come sit with me.
If the anxiety is STILL not passing do star jumps lol ... honestly! (burn the adrenalin)
Take a beta blocker
So.... here I am. And what Have I done? I've handed him over and BEFORE he'd even left, I took a beta blocker. Why bother experiencing the peak of my symptoms when I have this to cushion the blow? But what if it doesn't work? When half an hour had passed I assumed it must be working and I definitely did feel somewhat more comfortable, but the panic was still looming. With Nathan gone I decided to clear out the loft/attic. Manual labour, plus loud music on headphones could work. And yeh I guess it did for a little but my loft is pretty tidy already. Heart rate growing again.. Hot humid day so I'm also sweating. Since I have challenged my thoughts before and now know I will not pass out, I will not stop breathing... my head decided to play a new fun game! Lets make up NEW horrible possibilities. My legs feel weak so perhaps I'm going to lose the use of my legs? Such fun!
So my brain is going 200mph, I am now hot and sweaty, and since I took my beta blocker I should have quite an even heart rate, but instead its going like the clappers cause im running around the house like a nut case trying to find things to do! Its actually a pretty funny image. Neurotic to the core.
In the end I have got myself into a nice cosy quiet room, and I have started to write. My head feels fuzzy with the whole crappy situation but the clock is ticking by and my son is getting the assessment done as I write. The panic is gone, the anxiety is ...... in the pit of my stomach and threatening to rise. But I have my water and if I really cant handle it, I can take another beta blocker by now. Even if its only working psychologically ill use it for now, but I don't think im going to need it.
What would be better here? If I had went with him there would be no separation anxiety but instead there would be the ARRRGGHHH im so far away from home. Nathan would know something was wrong, and I doubt id be any use at all in a meeting. So for now this needs to be endured. Not forgetting the next 3 appointments this month. Ill be a pro at this in no time!
Of course im telling myself im completely irrational. That there is nothing to fear here. That I should enjoy the time on my own, childfree. Drink tea and chat to friends, surf the net, read or sleep. Nathan will be back in no time at all demanding my attention and driving me crazy! And I should praise any achievement no matter how small. I didn't avoid this meeting. Nathan is where he should be. Pat on the back for me. But it never really feels that great does it? What would feel great would be to never have to go through this stuff in the first place. But such is life and since I like to think im quite a positive person ill say, well at least im quite an interesting character. Id hate to be boring!
In the meantime I will leave you with a link to a site which someone left in my comments. I had a read and im going to give this a try. Its so cheap that it would be silly not to give it a go. Hope you are all well and battling away! xxx

Liberty University christened its new, state-of-the-art baseball stadium with a 4-1 victory over Penn State on Feb. 23.
The new field, located adjacent to the recently expanded Williams Stadium, home of the Flames Football program, and Osborne Stadium, home to both the Liberty men's and women's soccer and track and field programs, replaces Worthington Stadium, where the Flames played for 34 seasons (1979-2012).
The $20 million facility features 2,500 chairback seats and three VIP suites, with additional seating available on grass areas down the first- and third-base lines. This configuration more than doubles the seating capacity of Worthington Stadium.
Construction began last summer and the final touches will be completed in June.
The Flames hosted the Big South Conference Baseball Championship at the new stadium May 21-25.
"It's a beautiful baseball stadium … one of the best in the country in my opinion," said Liberty Athletics Director Jeff Barber, who patterned it after the University of South Carolina's $35 million stadium.
The complex is the operations center of Liberty Baseball. The program's offices and team room overlook the playing field, and the facility includes a modern media area with a 24-seat press box, a television booth, visitor and home radio booths, an operations suite, and storage space.
All areas except for the pitcher's mound — including the infield, foul territory, and warning tracks — are covered by turf. The field is flanked by full-length, major league-style dugouts, and players have access to four indoor batting tunnels, a weight room, and a clubhouse.
For fans, two concessions areas are available as well as a playground for children, picnic area, and a 3,000-square-foot patio with a fire pit.

Alandriel: Funny thatyou mentioned people acting things out before they write them. The thing is, I am in a theatre class at school and we had to write our own short play. I actually acted it out while I was writing it to see if it made sense. I guess I did pretty well, because when my group acted it out, we got an A. I was surprised because it was a a really stupid version of the three little pigs, including a dumb blonde pig and a grandma who hits the wolf with her cane. We wnet a full minute over the time limit, but I guess it didn't matter. I'm glad you think i'll be a good RPer!
Leoba: As for what i wanted to know-nothing speecific, just anything you might feel like telling me. If you don't have anything to say, that's fine. I read your description of yourself in the first post. you sound cool.
I just want to say that it feels good to be here, and I think now is a good time for a group hug!

Yes, Nokia 7 Plus does have the 4K recording support.
Yes, Nokia 7 Plus does have the electronic stabilization.
Nokia 7 Plus has a weight of 183 grams.
Yes, Nokia 7 Plus does have the dual VoLTE support.
Yes, Nokia 7 Plus does have the fingerprint scanner.
There is no doubt that this is the best phone Nokia has launched and I am very happy after using it for almost now 18 days. I was buying from OnlyMobiles for the first time, so I was little sceptical but they have delivered before their promised date and the price was also lesser than Amazon.
The phone looks very premium and is made of metal body. The Nokia 7 Plus is very comfortable to hold. All ports and headphone jack are placed very nicely and you will never struggle with it.
Audio output is decent. Though there is only one speaker but it is loud enough while you are watching videos of listening music. I did not like Ambient Display much what I used to like on my earlier Google Pixel phone.
Phone software is another plus point. Nokia regularly update the phone software on monthly basis and they have lived to their promise. There is no unwanted Apps or skins.
The biggest plus point of the phone is the camera. Now I understand why Nokia uses carl-zeiss lens. On top of it, if you use Google Camera App - be rest assured, your pictures will beat Pixel and iPhone for sure.
Battery performance is very decent. It charges to about 50% in just 35 minutes. But after that charging speed slightly drops and in about 2 hours the phone charges fully. During charging time, I have noticed a little heat issue but that is because of the metal body of the phone.
In a nutshell, if you are looking at a reliable phone to purchase - I will recommend both - Nokia 7 and OnlyMobiles.
If you have budget of around Rs.30,000 then close your eyes and just go for this phone blindly. This is one of the finest phone which you can purchase right now. It has everything. Good display, Excellent battery back up and fast charging, Good display with Gorilla glass protection, Excellent camera with carl zeiss lens and awesome sound experience. Nokia - you rock !!
Nokia is very reliable. The phone has excellent build quality and display is quite sharp. Color brightness is almost perfect. Camera could have been better. Battery performance is good. Fast charging should be compulsory with all phones now. I will give 5 out of 5. Go for it.
Great battery life, immersive display, solid design, and software at its purest, that's the Nokia 7 Plus for you.
The company has also managed to get the right balance of performance and efficiency.

The first trailer for writer-director Rian Johnson's Looper has gone online. The futuristic thriller takes place in a world where time travel exists, but is only used on the black market. When the mob wants to kill someone, they send the target 30 years into the past where a contract killer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) does the dirty work. Things are going smoothly until Gordon-Levitt's future self (Bruce Willis) is sent into the past to be killed. As a huge fan of Johnson's previous work, Brick and The Brothers Bloom, I was already pretty damn excited for Looper, but this trailer is incredibly cool. I love the premise and cast, and it looks as if Johnson has applied his wholly original filmmaking style to the sci-fi genre to great success. I still don't entirely know how Gordon-Levitt's Bruce Willis impression is gonna play for an extended period of time, but it's a minor qualm and I really haven't seen enough footage to make a fair assessment. All in all, I'm willing to bet Johnson's about to go 3 for 3.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Noah Segan, Piper Perabo, and Jeff Daniels. Looper opens on September 28th.
Click over to Apple to watch in HD.
Here's the synopsis for Looper:
In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.

Plants of Home and Garden, Trees and Shrubs
Grow from stem cuttings, each with one leaf, planting these with aerial roots immediately at soil surface. Keep lightly shaded and moist, grow in rich and well-drained soil, humidity-loving. Zone 10
Large plants require very ample vertical room; aerial roots need a solid mat of sphagnum moss to grow into, held by chicken wire, which is occasionally fertilized and kept moist. For large, impressive split leaves, remove and pot the top shoots of mature plants. Reproduce also by air or simple layering

6. Public worship must be performed in spirit and in truth. Externalism and hypocrisy stand condemned. The forms of public worship have value only when they serve to express the inner reverence of the worshiper and his sincere devotion to the true and living God. And only those whose hearts have been renewed by the Holy Spirit are capable of such reverence and devotion.
7. The Lord Jesus Christ has prescribed no fixed forms for public worship but, in the interest of life and power in worship, has given his church a large measure of liberty in this matter. It may not be forgotten, however, that there is true liberty only where the rules of God's Word are observed and the Spirit of the Lord is, that all things must be done decently and in order, and that God's people should serve him with reverence and in the beauty of holiness. From its beginning to its end a service of public worship should be characterized by that simplicity which is an evidence of sincerity and by that beauty and dignity which are a manifestation of holiness.
8. Public worship differs from private worship in that in public worship God is served by his saints unitedly as his covenant people, the body of Christ. For this reason the covenant children should be present so far as possible as well as adults. For the same reason no favoritism may be shown to any who attend. Nor may any member of the church presume to exalt himself above others as though he were more spiritual, but each shall esteem others better than himself.
9. It behooves God's people not only to come into his presence with a deep sense of awe at the thought of his perfect holiness and their own exceeding sinfulness, but also to enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise for the great salvation which he has so graciously wrought for them through his only begotten Son and applied to them by the Holy Spirit.
