At a Glance
SRH Hochschule Berlin has been participating in the ERASMUS Programme since 2006 and has signed the Erasmus University Charter.
Programme Overview
Erasmus is the new European Union programme for education, training, youth, and sport. Erasmus replaces the previous EU programmes in the areas of education, training, youth and sport, such as the Lifelong Learning programme and the Erasmus Mundus programme for cooperation among European universities.
The programme consists of three key actions:
Key action 1 – Learning mobility of individuals
Key action 2 – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Key action 3 – Support for policy reform
Erasmus has a budget of € 14.7 billion and, by 2020, more than four million people will profit from this funding. The seven year programme will build skills and improve employability of participants. It will furthermore foster efforts to modernise education and career training for children and youth. You can find more information about Erasmus+ on the website of the European Commission.
The Erasmus budget will be primarily focused on mobility within Europe but, starting in 2015, it will also support individuals worldwide on a limited scale. Up until the year 2020, approximately 2 million students will profit from Erasmus+, and more than one quarter of those will be from Germany. This includes students in all phases of their study programmes, including doctoral students, who want to complete part of their studies or an internship (traineeship) abroad. For a first time grant, students working towards a Bachelor, Master, or Doctoral degree can receive funding for up to 12 months. In order to provide greater financial incentives for time spent abroad, the monthly mobility stipend for students will be increased, especially for host countries with higher living costs. Recent graduates can also receive funding for an internship abroad. Additionally, Erasmus+ will offer students wishing to complete a Master's programme in Europe the option of receiving a low-interest loan to support their studies. The former Erasmus Mundus programme, which provides support for highly qualified students wishing to complete a Master's degree in a European joint programme, will continue to be carried out within the new Erasmus programme.
Erasmus also supports the internationalisation of institutes of higher education by funding short-term teaching and training periods abroad for faculty and staff members. In addition, universities can invite representatives from various enterprises abroad to conduct guest lectures, and can participate in multilateral strategic partnerships in order to develop joint, innovative projects (for example, in the areas of curriculum development or other education-related topics). Funding for cooperative projects between universities and businesses is provided by the new Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliances. Universities wishing to be involved in capacity-building projects in developing countries can do so at the international partner universities of the Erasmus+ programme. Funding for most of the mobility programmes and strategic partnerships is organized by the national agencies of the 33 countries participating in our programme (28 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, FYR Macedonia, Norway, and Turkey). In Germany, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) promotes and implements the programme.
The following mobility programmes are supported by Erasmus:
+ Student mobility: study abroad (SMS)
+ Student mobility: traineeship (SMP)
+ Staff mobility: teaching period (STA)
+ Staff mobility: training period (STT)
Please note that SRH Hochschule Berlin is obliged by the DAAD/EU Commission to collect personal data from all Erasmus- participants in order to create source and disposition statements for the EU Commission. In doing so, we comply with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). By signing the Erasmus- Grant Agreement, you acknowledge and agree to this procedure.
ERASMUS Charter
Every institute of higher education participating in the EU programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020 (further referred to simply as the "programme") must have been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). This charter is awarded by the European Commission as part of an accreditation procedure established to guarantee a quality framework for all participants in mobility activities. The charter as well as the European Policy Statement (EPS) must both be made available on the university website. You can find both documents in our Downloads Section below.

my experience is better than normal. But

The only mistake in retrospect....
We're so negative all the time. But

The Best School Food Project – sponsored by the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association – finalists gathered at the Royal Norfolk Showground for the EDP Food & Drink Awards ceremony 2015 on Monday 14 September.
The RNAA's chief executive Greg Smith announced the winner, Rollesby Primary School at the event and presented head teacher Louise Hinton and Annette Cooper with the prestigious award and certificate.
Fellow judge, food education specialist, Sally Church, said: "We were very impressed with the way the whole school has embraced food and farming throughout the curriculum and the wider community. There has been a solid commitment to improving the food education and experience for all pupils and the project has grown quickly and has made strong links that are sustainable for the future."
Congratulating all the finalists and praising the team at Rollesby Primary School and Nursery, Greg Smith said: "Food is not only at the heart of Norfolk but it's at the centre of civilization. So learning about food – where it comes from, how it is produced and what you can do with it – is fundamental. At the RNAA education is really important to us and in our entrants this year we have yet again seen tremendous examples of this being done so well and really making an impact on children's lives".
The finalists were Heather Avenue Infants School in Hellesdon, Parkside School in Norwich and Rollesby Primary School and Nursery.
Head teacher Louise Hinton accepted the prize on behalf of everyone at Rollesby Primary School and said: "We are delighted to be the winner of the Best School Food Project, and this award is for every child, parent, member of staff and governor, as everyone played their part.
"We are very grateful for the support we received from food heroes in the local community, Emma Tacon, Hirst Farm as well as the Norfolk Garden Trust. This project sums up the importance of teaching children about where food comes from and healthy eating and was led by our teacher Annette Cooper at Rollesby School."

What was anticipated as a pleasant and simple task of choosing colors at the local paint store has instead become a nightmare of choices, added to by the time pressures which I call the "the arbitrary tyranny of the painter," when in fact, choosing life-enhancing colors takes careful consideration. Use the color tips from the color experts and professional remodeling contractors.
First tip: If you want happy results, it's not a good idea to rush this process. Tell the painter to come back when you are ready and set a time frame in which to make your choices. Even then, have the painter help you test out a couple of colors before launching into the project. Do not be afraid to make adjustments if you are unhappy.
To help you here are some factors influencing perception to consider:
- The time of day the area will be most used.
- The type of light it will be viewed in.
- The juxtaposition of colors surrounding it.
- The size or scale of the area.
- The general age of the people using the room.
- The intended activities of the space.
Color and Light are really synonymous. One cannot be seen without the other. The color of daylight itself varies from zone to zone; and each hour of day and brings a change to perception. Sunny days in Mexico render color differently than a cloudy day in Minneapolis. The classic north light of an artist's skylit studio is actually a cool light. Each type of light bulb renders a different color emphasis. Halogen is very close to the full spectrum of sunlight, incandescent lamps are on the warm, orange scale. Fluorescent lamps are usually more blue; though some are called full-spectrum. It is important to see your color choice in the lamps to be used. Each will render the color differently.
Usually exterior elements are reflected onto the walls. In a garden or wooded setting greens will be present. White with a pink tint will end up looking murky because red and green equal brown. Surprisingly a white with a slightly greenish-umber cast may actually look softer and warmer, especially as you work with other interior colors.
If the room is to be used mainly in the evenings, then the artificial lighting will be an important factor. Generally, we use incandescent lamps in living, dining & bed rooms. Their warm, golden light will amplify and enrich warm colors, reds, oranges, yellows. Greens will tend to become more yellow than when viewed during the day. Blues will take on a slightly green tint under this light. That's why you should consider the natural and artificial light of your space in your remodeling design and painting plans.
The human eye changes with age. As the lens thickens, golden tones are clearer than blues and greens. Contrasts of subtle color differences diminishes, so stronger differences in color relationships may be more interesting. However, a dark border on a carpet may be perceived as a step down into space, and become unnerving. It is an interesting challenge, as a designer, to create a color scheme of brightness and sufficient contrasts, which flatters the sophistication and experience of elderly rather than imparting a patronizingly immature look.
The youthful eye makes more distinctions and may enjoy richer color relationships than the standard primary colors we so often associate with primary-age settings. Though, if used interestingly, those can be upbeat and distinctive.
You will find it helpful to know the following three basic elements to color:
- Hue — the color itself — Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, etc.
- Value — the relative lightness or darkness of a color, whiteness or blackness.
- Intensity — the saturation or brightness of a color.
Psychological, emotional, and spiritual reactions are created by the mixture of these elements. Environmental color supports various moods and activities, from resting and dreaming to socializing and invigorating the appetite. It's best to consider carefully the requirements of the space and to consult with an experienced color & lighting specialist who can work with you to create a successful space. Watch this website for more color hints. It's one of our favorite topics.

Mountain Khakis and Duluth Pack Collaborate On Rugged Pack Collection
Mountain Khakis partnership with Duluth Pack is a natural alliance as their brand values, product quality and passion for delivering 'rugged yet refined' gear are so similar. Duluth Pack has continuously handcrafted hunting, shooting and outdoor gear in Minnesota since 1882. The quality, time-tested craftsmanship and hardware are guaranteed for life … and Made In The USA.
Duluth Pack's retail store has carried Mountain Khakis for many years and after getting to know them, seeing the success they have had with MK, and the mutual admiration for each other's products, the conversation began about how a collaboration would work. Mountain Khakis immediately loved each other's passion for the outdoor lifestyle, the attention to detail their products offer, and culture each brand represents. And a pack collaboration was launched.
The synergies were prevalent right from the start. First it started with the people and the like-mindedness toward company culture and commitment to making great product. This fed into the terms both companies use to describe their products: rugged, authentic, reliable, timeless. Their pack collaboration is a perfect example of Made In The USA quality that symbolizes both Mountain Khakis and Duluth Pack (below).

Classic films can be a bit daunting when you don't know where to start. French New Wave? Italian Neorealism? German Expressionism? What do they all mean? Sometimes you don't need to jump in the deep end with the 6-hour epics — there are classic films that are just as accessible as those made today, with the added bonus of operating as an easy gateway into the world of classic film. All it takes is that one movie — so we asked our regular writers: What film got you into classics?
'Fanny och Alexander', dir. Ingmar Bergman
My mom is not as enthusiastic about cinema as she used to be, but she, perhaps, triggered a crucial moment in the development of my passion for film. ARTE showed the entirety of the TV-cut of Ingmar Bergman's last great film over the span of a single afternoon. This cut of 'Fanny och Alexander' lasts 312 minutes, which is a lot for someone my age back then, especially considering I had a slight aversion to older films. At first, as my mom proposed to me to watch it in its entirety, I shook my head.
But after I watched the first half hour, I pushed aside all other possible plans for that day and was fully invested into this sprawling masterpiece, that somehow manages to capture childhood and family from a perspective of universality and magnificent detail all at once.
To this day, the film is probably my favorite of Bergman's works, solely because there is something so gargantuan about it. It feels like we experience an entire period of Alexander Ekdahl's life, right down to the most inconspicuous, yet most crucial details. It's a film full of life and full of realization, sad and beautiful, cold and warm. It showed me that cinema is never getting old, as long as it manages to hit the right notes.
– Kareem Baholzer
'12 Angry Men', dir. Sidney Lumet
I remember when I first "got into film;" a semi-conscious decision that involved a good six months of exploring the IMDB Top 250 as though they were the only films out there worth watching. Sidney Lumet's '12 Angry Men' was an intimidating challenge for a fourteen-year-old with the pubescent attention span of a newt. Perhaps understandably, I put off the film for a while, choosing instead to introduce myself to Tarantino's, Scorsese's, and Nolan's loud, explosive cinematics with recognisable actors and familiar pop culture references.
When I did finally sit down to watch Lumet's classic, I realised almost immediately, how ridiculous I had been in my presuppositions. Perfectly paced, thrilling, emotional and a million overused adjectives more, '12 Angry Men' remains to be the greatest dialogue-driven masterpiece that I have ever seen. Never before had I been so engrossed in a film. A film that takes place in one room, with 12 unnamed characters, and a complete absence of physical action. '12 Angry Men' convinced me of what cinema could really achieve when in the hands of true talent, and when the richness of dialogue is placed at the centre of a filmmaker's vision.
– Megan Christopher
'The Sound of Music', dir. Robert Wise
Each time spring rolls around, I think back to being in Miss Margie's drama class as a young girl and being introduced to the classic musical. Seeing Julie Andrews command such presence on the screen, and hearing her sing with such grace, took all of my attention. Despite the horror of the time period the film is set, Andrew's Maria made me wish I was one of the Von Trapp children singing and dancing with the utmost joy. 'The Sound of Music' introduced me to the magic of movie musicals and it continues to make me grin from ear to ear. Do you really love this movie if you don't get "Do-Re-Mi" stuck in your head after you watch it? I think not.
– Sydney Bembry
'The Graduate', dir. Mike Nichols
An obvious choice for me would be to choose a Kubrick sci-fi film, so I'm going to opt for something different here. To be quite honest, I have had a lot of respect for classic films throughout my life, but I have always been more of a fan of what the modern cinema scene is doing with the art form. When I took my first film history course in community college I thought I'd be watching films that I'd appreciate more than I'd enjoy. This was true to an extent with a lot of my assigned viewings (Don't kill me! I don't regret seeing them!), but the film that eventually got me to see the sophistication, complexity, and perspective classic films can offer in the context of their time period was definitely 'The Graduate'.
Mike Nichols's sophomore film is a raunchy, coming of age romantic comedy that is subversive in its overt sexuality and exploration of adulthood. It's a character piece featuring messy people in messy situations that feels culturally and historically relevant to the late 60s, but the emotions it captures remain in all of us now. I think the ending to the film is one of the most well executed, complicated endings I've ever seen. It wraps up the ideas of identity, isolation, and adolescent love neatly, and gives you a new context to view the film in reflection. When you're young, you, naturally, take a lot of stupid risks as you try to forge the path you wish your life to be on. This is perfectly illustrated by the long take of Ben and Elaine riding off on the bus together. It was the right message for me at the right time.

'A Woman is a Woman', dir. Jean-Luc Godard
I'm nearly positive that my first exposure to 'A Woman is a Woman' (Une Femme Est Une Femme) came from scrolling through Tumblr and happening upon a screenshot of Anna Karina as Angéla. She was saying something smart about love and wearing that iconic red button-up and blue eyeshadow. Being the pretentious, beauty-obsessed 14-year-old I was, nothing was more striking than a pretty French lady feeling sad. Shallow? Sure, but so is the movie.
'A Woman is a Woman' is far from Godard's best. Stand it next to 'Breathless', which was made just one year prior, and it completely falls apart. But despite the pretentious writing and questionable sexual politics, I absolutely adored it. It was my first introduction to the radical French New Wave, and my first taste of how lively, playful, and personal film could be. And if we're still being shallow, watching two handsome men fight over a beautiful, disinterested woman was my idea of fun.

'Breathless', dir. Jean-Luc Godard
How I found 'Breathless' was a weird and wonderful coincidence. I had just seen 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl', and if you've seen that movie you know that two of the main characters make parody shorts of classic films, so I was determined to understand all of the references. I wrote a list, went to my local HMV, and bought the first DVD I saw that was mentioned. This so happened to be 'Breathless'. I had no idea who directed this movie or what it was about. The only knowledge I had prior was the parody film 'Breathe Less' which involved Thomas Mann stumbling in an alleyway and puffing an inhaler.
Jean-Luc Godard is a terrible person (just ask Agnès Varda), but he has made some brilliant films, and 'Breathless' stands apart as one of his best. At its core, 'Breathless' is a crime film about a man running away from capture after he shoots a policeman, but it's also about running away from responsibility and facing the real world. The film is somehow erratic and meditative at the same time, with its jumpy editing and extremely long takes. Evading the expectations of the genre, a large portion of the film sees two lovers talking aimlessly in a bedroom. As someone who, at the time, had rarely seen a film made before 1980, 'Breathless' was a small revolution — it opened a door to a new dimension of cinema just waiting to be explored.

'Bicycle Thieves', dir. Vittorio De Sica
After countless screenings of Classical Hollywood films, the shift into the era of Italian Neorealism was definitely drastic for me. I was still grasping my way to understanding film (barely…) and didn't expect any film to be as earnest as 'Bicycle Thieves'. When I say earnest, I don't mean realistic in the way it used non-professional actors or even shooting on-location, though those factors contributed to how the film brims with visceral empathy. The film excels in portraying the struggles of the working class as it is: there is no melodramatic exploitation for the audience's sentimentality. This is rare, even up till this day. Often films get caught up in what they think the audience wants, they forget that the struggles they're presenting are real conflicts people like you and me go through. And our struggles aren't for a curated audience.
'Bicycle Thieves' does the latter by presenting working struggles as it is: the individual against a society too caught up in their own issues to care, and the father who forgets to hold his son's hand because the family needs money to survive. It was this film that convinced me about the potential cinema has in eschewing the grandeur to portray the gritty, not so pretty parts of our lives.

'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes', dir. Howard Hawks
What started my love for classic film wasn't a specific work, but a particular star. When 'My Week with Marilyn' came out in 2011, I was obsessed and intrigued by the famous actress that Michelle Williams was portraying–Marilyn Monroe. I got the film on DVD, bought a Marilyn Monroe poster for my room, and subsequently scoured my local HMV for a box set of her films (which I proceeded to binge-watch). The first film I grabbed from the set was Howard Hawks' 1953 comedy-musical 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. The film follows Lorelei (Monroe) and Dorothy (Jane Russell), two gold diggers who learn that there's more to love than a diamond ring. By exploring Monroe's films, I learned that not only was she a wonderful comedienne, singer, and an underrated dramatic actress, but I discovered and fell in love with the era's style of filmmaking and its stars. Monroe's work introduced me to a whole world whose famous characters I had heard of (Norma Desmond, Scarlett O'Hara, Holly Golightly), but I could never place. I soon would transition from Monroe to discovering new stars like Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo, to more underrated talents like Greer Garson and Irene Dunne. I discovered the masterworks of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lean, the darkness of film noir, and the light of slapstick comedy. Marilyn Monroe's popularity opened me up to an era of film that would become my most revered.

Ricky Houle plans to give back through basketball
Kenora's Ricky Houle is coming off his first season of college basketball with the Algonquin Thunder of the Ontario College Athletics Association (OCAA).
It could have been a lot different for Houle. At 16, Houle was gearing up to try out for the Kenora Midget AAA Thistles but sprained his ankle before tryouts began, missing them altogether.
"I wasn't playing hockey so I thought I may as well just take basketball up to keep in shape and keep busy," Houle, now 19, said in a recent phone interview.
Anto Raic and Mike Luby were coaching the St. Thomas Aquinas Saints junior boys' basketball program at the time and Houle said they got him hooked on hoops.
"They showed me the game and how far it could take me and here I am today playing college basketball," he said.
Houle spent two seasons with Canada Topflight Basketball Academy in Ottawa before making the move to Algonquin. Houle turns 20 in November and suited up in 12 OCAA games as a shooting guard and earned 10 rebounds, one steal and one assist during his rookie season.
"It was a lot more physical and you had to be more physically stronger, faster, smarter than what I was used to playing in prep," Houle said. "I was playing against actual men this season, it was fun, I enjoyed it so much, I learned a lot from it."
Houle studied business and marketing during his first year at Algonquin but after visiting Brian Kozak, who runs a gym called Next Level SP out of Seven Generations Education Institute, he has switched majors.
"It's something I really enjoy doing now," Houle said. "Brian sparked that interest to go into fitness and health promotion and get my trainer's certificate."
Houle and Kozak are expanding the training at their gym from mostly hockey players to include volleyball and basketball players.
Houle also wants to get out into the community and hold basketball camps throughout Treaty #3 and Northwestern Ontario. Houle wants to show kids how to be healthier and what sport can do for them.
"I want to show them how sport can take them so much further than beyond the court," Houle said. "It's so much more than a game."
Houle mentioned once he started playing basketball and developed a passion for the game, his grades went up, which helped him to move on to college and he has met many different people because of basketball.
"I am forever grateful for that," he said. "I only started playing basketball when I was in Grade 10 and it worked out in the best possible way for me."
Houle said he has "no concrete plans" for the camps yet but hopes to hold them this coming summer before heading back to Algonquin to get his trainer's certificate this fall.

text: I made Pioneer Woman Cooks Perfect Pound Cake this week for an after dinner meeting with some friends and it is divine! The smell alone will cause you to flip it out of the Bundt pan and slice it before it has fully set. Don't you hate when that happens! This cake contains artifical butter flavoring- I had no idea that existed. Shocking that after 3 sticks of butter, you still need butter flavoring! It also has lemon extract and Sprite inside. Yummy!

Photo is of some of last years Quilts
Tomorrow is our first Charity Quilt sewing day, we all get together for the day and stitch our charity quilts .... these are passed to long term sick children at our local hospital, we normally have about 25 or so to pass on by this time next year..
We try to make a varied selection so that they can be for boys or girls and younger ones and older .
All the fabric is donated and people are so generous.
On the "on line" quilting group that I belong to.. someone was looking to pass on some unfinished children's quilt tops, I sent off a request for them and she was kind enough to donate them to us.
We get fabric from people who are no longer quilting and from elderly ladies who can no longer stitch due to failing eye sight.
Fabric also comes via people who are clearing up a relatives house after a bereavement, it is so good to make use of this fabric and lovely to feel we are making good use of it. Rather than it get rubbished and not used.
We have also chosen our Raffle Quilt Pattern to make for our Quilt Show next year, it will be the Oregan Trail........
In Blues and Whites much like this one.

Laquon Treadwell appealing fine for illegal block…1 min read
Vikings receiver Laquon Treadwell is appealing his $28,075 fine for an illegal blindside block against the Saints, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports.
"They're enforcing the rules, and you've got to follow the rules," Treadwell told Tomasson. "I have an appeal set for Tuesday at 3. I'll try to get it a little lower. I didn't expect it to be that much, but I've got to learn from it."
Treadwell hit Saints safety Chris Banjo as Banjo chased tight end Irv Smith Jr. The banning of blindside blocks was among the highlighted points made in the league's preseason officiating video presented to each team during training camp.

Verse 1 – Now it came to pass when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
Verse 2 – And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples.
John the Baptist had been placed in prison by Herod. Herod had married his sister-in-law, and John publicly rebuked Herod.
Verse 3 – And said to Him, "Are You the coming One, or do we look for another?"
Verse 4 – Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Verse 5 – "The blind receive their sight and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Verse 6 – "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."
John had disciples bringing him news from outside the prison walls. So hen he heard the things Jesus was doing, he wanted to know for sure, "Was Jesus the Messiah?" People like to say that John had doubts as to whether Jesus was the Messiah or not, but I believe you can affirm something without doubt. I think John just wanted to know if he had "prepared the way," for the right One, and his obligation was finished.
Verse 7 – As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken in the wind?
When the Jordan would over flow, it would produce reeds or canes. They were light and easily shaken by the wind. Therefor Jesus was asking the crowd, referring to John, "Did you go out to see a man that was easily changed or not consistent with his message?" The crowd had heard John's disciples ask if "He was the One, so they thought John was confused.
Verse 8 – "But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.
Jesus confirms that a person who wore these type of clothes were only found in palaces, so that was not the man they had seen in John, because John had been in the wilderness.
Verse 9 – "But what did yo go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Verse 10 – "For this is he of whom it is written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
That is in Isaiah 40:3. John had prepared the way for the Messiah.
Verse 11 – "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
No one ever fulfilled his God-given purpose more than John the Baptist. Yet, in the coming kingdom all members will have a greater spiritual heritage than John because they will have seen Christ's work on the cross.
Verse 12 – "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
This vast movement toward God, had started with John's preaching and entering God's kingdom takes courage, unwavering faith, determination, and endurance, because of the growing opposition.
Verse 13 – "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Verse 14 – "And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is come.
Verse 15 – "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
John took on Elijah's prophet role-bold, confronting sin and pointing people to God.
Verse 16 – "But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,
Verse 17 – "and saying: 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not lament.'
Verse 18 – "For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
Verse 19 – "The son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! "But wisdom is justified by her children."
In other words; there was no pleasing this generation. A man like John had none of the comforts of home, neither any prepared food nor drinking wine. His only interest was preaching the kingdom. Jesus on the other hand, ate and didn't look or dress like someone who lived in the wilderness as John had, and they rejected Him also. This generation was fickle, inconstant, and abusive.
Verse 20 – Then He began to unbraid (rebuke) the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:
Verse 21 – "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth an dashes.
Tyre and Sidon were both destroyed by God for their wickedness. The people of Chorazin and Bethsaida, both saw Jesus first-hand and they still refused to repent of their sins. So Jesus said if these wicked cities had seen Him, they would have easily repented.
The same goes for today: Easy access to Bibles, the Word of God, and a church almost on every corner. There will be no excuse in the Day of Judgment, for those who reject Jesus the Christ.
Verse 22 – "But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
Verse 23 – "And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
We all know that Sodom was destroyed by fire because of their perversion and wickedness. But Jesus said if He had done these mighty works there, they would still be in existence today because they would have repented.
Verse 24 – "But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you."
Verse 25 – At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.
Revealed them to babes – to the poor; the ignorant; to the teachable, the simple, and to the humble. Wise and prudent – to the proud and haughty in spirit.
Verse 26 – "Evan so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.
Verse 27 – "All things have been delivered to Me, by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and he to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
All things are in Christ's control for the good of the church, the government of the universe and is committed unto Him as Mediator. No mortal can fully comprehend the divine nature of Jesus, but God, so for the knowing of God but the Lord Jesus.
Verse 28 – "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
People who are burdened with the guilt of their transgressions can find forgiveness and peace in coming to Christ. He will then give them rest from their sins, from their conscience, and from the fear of eternal death without Him.
Verse 29 – "Take My yoke upon you and learn form Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Verse 30 – "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
A relationship with Jesus Christ, changes a burdensome weary life, into a productive purpose for the kingdom of God.

I like a good Christmas book and having spotted this reprint of J Jefferson Farjeon's Mystery in White last year and having bought it in a charity shop in the summer it was good to get it out recently and read it. This is not Agatha Christie but the plot is an intricate and more or less plausible one. It's great feature is lots of snow and references to Christmas which is what you want at this time of year. It originally appeared in 1937.
The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

And I Quote
"Looked at one way, it's a place of grace and faith that has purged most of it's old sins while maintaining most of its old virtues, a place that for all its bloody past and the ambiguities and unresolved issues of the present offers the nation's best blueprint for racial peace. Looked at another way, it's a Potemkin Village of mirrors and trap doors, where old inequities are cloaked in new forms, a chameleon South changed only on the surface, now pumping poisons into new veins, a place where even in the most neutered suburbs, what was still lives, beating insistently away like Poe's telltale heart."

Tribes 2

Game Overview
With Team Fortress Classic riding ever higher in the online charts, and Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 waiting in the wings, Tribes 2 needs to be good. Real good. Developers Dynamix need to retain the predecessor's breakneck speed and effortless connectivity, and add a raft of new weapons, new factions, new maps and new graphics. And we reckon they've done it.
The most obvious difference between Tribes and Tribes 2 is the way it looks. The rather angular and wishy-washy decor from the first instalment has been replaced by a rich world of textures, remodelled polygons and dynamic weather effects; a deep ocean laps at the beaches of craggy islands, enabling crewed submersibles to approach unchallenged (more about that later); fingers of lightning reach out to tickle the ground far off in the distance, with intense explosions filling the foreground; and as before, there's the seamless transition from interior to exterior environments across 30 or so new levels.
According to Nels Bruckner, lead programmer at Dynamix, all the next-generation visuals are actually based on old code. This means that the widely praised terrain engine has been retained and the frame rate kept high. The only downside is that you need a beefy 3D card and OpenGL drivers in order to experience all the glossy tricks (although by the time the game is released next year that shouldn't be an issue). Dynamix are also looking at supporting 3DNow! and other processor extensions, but won't promise anything.
Things are much the same on the networking side, with existing code being revised rather than rewritten. The only major factor affecting gameplay was the CPU load of the host machine. With the maximum number of players being raised in Tribes 2, Dynamix are working feverishly to optimise the server software. They're also set to release a Linux version of the dedicated host (much like Valve have done with Half-Life) to help boost support in the UNIX community, and a Macintosh version to increase the user base. There's also a chance that the new game will come bundled in the same box as Starsiege Universe 2, as per the previous version, although Sierra aren't committing themselves.
What is certain is that it will be much easier for new players to get into things. This means faster, easier access to servers, plus new training missions and a practice mode. Rumours abound that a single-player game will feature intelligent bots roaming the landscape to provide a fun alternative to a huge phone bill.
Making their first appearance in Tribes 2 are a new faction called BioDerms, a genetically engineered race of human slaves whose ultimate goal is to destroy mankind. Like the others, they have access to three armour classes and the standard weapons set (due to be expanded by five or so new guns). Real-time voice communication is also set to make an appearance, although exactly how this will integrate with the game interface and what hardware you'll need to utilise it is still unclear.
New vehicles are currently on the factory floor, and include a two-man dune buggy and a hunter-killer submarine. A different set of physics and realism will be introduced for underwater vehicles, players and weaponry, meaning it's going to be a whole new world down below the waves as well as a whole new world up top. We can't wait.

Love face scrubbies? So do we.
Hi Makers!
Kathleen, here - and I wanted to share a super fun and free pattern with you all, because who doesn't love free patterns?
Ready? Ok, let's do this:
Size 6 mm crochet hook | 100% cotton yarn | scissors
How to make a puff stitch
Yarn over, pull up loop. Repeat that step 4 times. (note: You will have 4 loops on your hook) Pull through all of the loops, chain one. (note: You will always chain 1 after each puff stitch).
Round 1: Start by creating a magic loop (note: If you need to learn how to make a magic loop, there are some really great Youtube videos). Chain 2, work 7 puff stitches into the magic loop. Connect the first puff stitch to the last puff stitch with a slip stitch. Once finished, synch the yarn to close the hole.
Round 2: (note: In this round you will be working in the spaces between the puff stitches from the previous round.) Chain 2, work 2 puff stitches into each space between the puff stitches from the previous round. (note: Total of 14 puff stitches in this round). Connect first puff stitch to the last puff stitch with a slip stitch.
Round 3: Single crochet for the entire round. Once you have reached the final stitch in this round, we will begin creating the handle.
Single crochet for 2 stitches, turn, chain one, single crochet for 2 stitches. Repeat until the handle is the same diameter of the scrubbie. Lay your handle flat against your scrubbie, and slip stitch the last two stitches into the corresponding two stitches on the other side of the scrubbie.
Cut yarn leaving a 6" tail. Weave in ends. And yay you're done - time to enjoy your new handmade face scrubbies!
Care Instructions
Scrubbies can be washed with like colors in the washing machine, lay flat to dry.
I hope y'all enjoy making these! If you have any questions, please reach out to myself or anyone on the OML team and we'll do our best to help!
Happy Making,
Kathleen, OML dream team

Solar power use in the United States is booming, as we reported a few weeks ago.
In parts of the world where access to any kind of electricity — let alone the green kind — is scarce, however, the news is not as bright, at least not yet.
Many people in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia still rely on kerosene lamps, torches or candles to see at night, solutions that are polluting, expensive, noxious and, crucially, rarely emit good quality light.
That's where two business students at Stanford University taking a course on extreme affordability saw a sustainable business opportunity.
"It is actually possible to make an economically viable alternative to kerosene," said Ned Tozun, a co-founder of d.light, a company that is bringing rechargeable solar lamps to market in developing countries.
The company has been operational for five years, and in recent months has been producing 200,000 to 300,000 lamps each month, with roughly 98 percent of those going to developing countries, according to Mr. Tozun, who is also the company's president.
Like the CleanStar Mozambique, the project that is bringing clean-burning biofuel stoves to the kitchens of Maputo, the story of d.light highlights growing investor interest in the junction between development work, renewable energy and profit-driven business.
"What we sold those guys is that fundamentally it is a huge market," said Mr. Tozun about winning over the first investors for his venture — most, but not all of whom, were social impact funds. (Earlier this month, our colleague Stephanie Strom at DealBook mentioned d.light as a for-profit company that nonprofit funds invest in.)
The company designs, produces and sells rugged lanterns that can be charged under the sun during the day, then produce a steady, bright light when the sun is down.
Based on the newest battery technology and energy efficient LED bulbs, the lamps are designed and built to withstand years of everyday use (a claim that the company plans to back in 2013 with a two-year guarantee on their products). These lanterns can be sold inexpensively enough — in the long-term — to be cheaper than the coal, kerosene or candles that they replace, Mr. Tozun said in a telephone interview from California.
"If you can put it into the market, it's very scalable and much more sustainable," Mr. Tozun said.
The market was ready for the rechargeable solar lantern, said Mr. Tozun, who estimates that renewable energy lighting technology makes up only about 2 percent of the market today.
The company did not make production costs available. However, since the pilot stages of the program, the lamps have always been priced to reflect the eventual large-scale production, Mr. Tozun said.
Depending on the location, the cheapest lantern sells for as little as $7, while more advanced models, like those that also have a cellphone charging port, can cost up to $30.
"Our customers are very risk-averse," said Mr. Tozun, who said the price of the lamp often represented the cost of several months of kerosene or coal.
The company works with local distributors to convince customers that the investment in the solar lantern is worth it in the long run.
Today, 1.4 billion people live without any access to electricity, according to the World Bank. An additional 1.3 billion make do without access to reliable electricity, meaning that a third of the world's population cannot rely on artificial light.
According to the World Bank studies, it would take $35-$40 billion of new money each year until 2030 to get universal access to electricity.
Unlike some other forms of renewable energy, solar power can easily be harvested off-grid, making it much more readily adaptable for areas with no distribution infrastructure. Since the chargers, the lanterns and the batteries are all one unit, end users invest just once, with no need for upkeep or supplies for several years, according to the company.
The bright, steady lights have many benefits, from more active family households to improved safety.
Last month the company celebrated "10 million lives improved" by its solar lamps, a milestone based on its calculation of several members of a household benefiting from one lamp.The company says that the lanterns have had an impact on more than 2.5 million school-age children who can now study at home at night.
"It's not just marketing-speak; they really transform peoples' lives," Mr. Tozun said.
What do you think? Do for-profit companies have a role in development work? Are they the most efficient way to get renewable energy to those who need it?

Like many other retailers, women's plus-size retail chain Lane Bryant offers a retail reward credit card to its customers. The bank behind the card is Comenity, a financial services company that provides credit card services to hundreds of retailers across the country. While the card offers a number of attractive perks, there are some restrictions and downsides customers should be aware of before filling out the application.
How It Works
The Lane Bryant credit card is store-only and not affiliated with Visa, Mastercard or any other card networks. The card can only be used at stores and websites in the Lane Bryant family including Lane Bryant, Lane Bryant Outlet, lanebryant.com, Cacique and cacique.com.
The card is obtained through a standard credit application. Approval and credit limit depend on the same factors as any other credit product such as credit score, income and other debt.
Cardholders can choose to pay off the balance in full each month or carry a balance with smaller payments over time. The card comes with a 25-day grace period, so those who pay off the card in full each month avoid interest payments altogether.
Rewards & Benefits
Purchases made with the card at Lane Bryant stores or Lanebryant.com accrue one point per dollar spent.
The rewards program is separated into three tiers. The points are awarded at the same rate, but these tiers receive reward vouchers of higher value and discounted shipping from the Lane Bryant websites. Anyone who spends up to $399 with the Lane Bryant credit card falls into the Preferred tier. After accumulating 400 points, the cardholder receives a $10 reward voucher to be used against the next purchase. There is a maximum limit of $40 rewarded per calendar month.
The Premier tier is achieved when spending $400 to $799 in a calendar year. At this level, 400 points gives $15 of vouchers with a limit of $60 per month. Platinum level is reached when spending more than $800 in a year. Platinum rewards are $20 of vouchers per 400 points, up to $80 per month.
Cardholders in all three tiers receive special offers, bonus point events and a birthday gift. Another perk for all cardholders is an extended return period of 60 days. Online purchases come with free shipping over $100 for Preferred members. Premier members get free shipping over $75. Platinum members get free shipping on all online orders.
Who Benefits the Most?
Frequent shoppers at the Lane Bryant family of stores will benefit the most from this card, especially those who spend enough to reach Platinum level.
Victoria's Secret and Gap are main competitors that also offer retail reward credit cards.
Like the Lane Bryant card, the Victoria's Secret Angel credit card is store-only, and can only be used at the Victoria's Secret family of stores. Purchases earn one point per dollar spent, with $10 vouchers awarded for every 250 points accumulated. This is increased to $15 per 250 points once a cardholder has earned more than 1,000 points. New cardholders are rewarded with $15 off the first purchase made on the credit card. This card has an annual interest rate of 24.99%.
The Gap's credit card comes in two versions: store-only or with added Visa affiliation. This allows Gap cardholders with Visa to accrue bonus points anywhere Visa is accepted. New Gap cardholders receive a sign-up discount of 20%, followed by a point system. Purchases made at the Gap family of stores (Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy and the outlets) receive five points per dollar spent, while purchases made elsewhere receive one point per dollar (Visa-enabled cards only). For standard customers, $5 reward vouchers are given for every 500 points accumulated. Frequent customers who reach Silver status also get an extra 20% bonus points per quarter. The interest rate for both cards is is 25.99%.
The Fine Print
The annual percentage rate (APR) on the Lane Bryant card is 26.99%, which is considerably higher than comparable cards from banks and financial institutions. Still, it falls within the normal range for retail reward cards.

Stolt-Nielsen to confirm small-scale LNG order by year-end?
Norwegian-listed shipping company Stolt-Nielsen is aiming to decide on ordering two small-scale LNG carriers during the fourth quarter of this year.
The order for the small-scale carriers is "ready to be confirmed," Niels Stolt-Nielsen, CEO of Stolt-Nielsen said in a conference call on Thursday after announcing the company's third-quarter results.
To remind, the CEO said in July this year that Stolt-Nielsen plans to order a number of 7,500-cbm LNG carriers at an unnamed Asian shipyard to ship the chilled fuel for the Sardinia LNG import project in Italy.
He said then that Stolt-Nielsen will order the LNG vessels once binding offtake agreements for the LNG project in Italy have been signed.
However, during the conference call, he noted that the company is still working on the offtake agreements for the Italian LNG project.
Stolt-Nielsen' unit, Stolt-Nielsen Gas, has in 2015 purchased a 10 percent stake, with an option to acquire up to 80 percent of HiGAS, the company developing the LNG project.
HIGAS is a joint venture between Gas and Heat S.p.A. and CPL Concordia Soc. Coop, formed to build and operate an LNG terminal and distribution facility in the port of Oristano, Sardinia.
The LNG is to be shipped to the terminal by small-scale tankers and distributed to customers via pipeline and trucks.
