As a sponsor for this event since its inception, CBIZ MHM's Linda Lauer welcomed the group sharing the value of women in our workplace. Linda also noted the national firm's development of business women through our Women's Advantage program.
Carolyn Hardy of Chism Hardy Investments and Henderson Worldwide Investments headlined as the keynote. Working among 'the good old boys', she quickly realized the importance of using her relationships to her advantage. During her address, Carolyn spoke about how women should utilize their connections and "human collateral" to advance in their business endeavors, noting that "you will never make a sale if you call the receptionist."
Overall, the group discussion was very empowering. Many panelists discussed how women in business should lift each other up by partnering with one another rather than competing among the few women already in the room.
Other panelists included Sara Burnett from LeBonheur Children's Hospital, Stacy McCall of ServicesMaster by Stratos, and Sarah Petschonek of Volunteer Odyssey.
A crowd of 200 gathered for the #BIZWomen event at the Brooks Museum. To read further coverage, view the Memphis Daily News article.

Featured in The Memphis Daily News, Senior Managing Director Eustis Corrigan explains why he is passionate about his [now] home of Memphis, TN.
The "I Choose Memphis" special feature on the Daily News website spotlights Memphians who are passionate about calling this community home. Profiles are provided by a local non-profit, leadership development organization called the New Memphis Institute.
Corrigan, a Louisiana native, talks about some of his personal favorites in Memphis as well as his first memory of the Bluff City.
Eustis has more than 25 years of comprehensive tax, accounting, and strategic business consulting experience, the majority of which he served as a tax services partner with an international accounting firm. Prior to joining CBIZ, Eustis was a tax partner with a Top 50 accounting firm, where he held a leadership role for all tax services. His career also includes serving as the Chief Financial Officer for a publicly-traded, Southeast-based regional bank holding company.

The Daily News hosted the third annual Women & Business Seminar at the Brooks Museum. This year was the second in a row in which the event sold out. We are honored to have been a sponsor since the seminar's inception and to have Linda Lauer speak about the national CBIZ Women's Advantage in the event's opening remarks. This year's keynote speaker was Keri Wright, Chairman and CEO of Universal Asset Management (UAM).
Appointed to Chief Operating Officer at UAM when she was only 25, Keri attributes her success to finding confidence and courage in herself. Her speech was particularly focused on finding these traits at a young age, something she gained while flying an airplane solo at the age of 15. Pointedly, Keri can relate everything in her career to "having to land the plane." The phrase repeatedly served as the driver behind all of Keri's points in her speech, whether it be literally or figuratively. Keri notes that learning to take full ownership of a tough situation with confidence and courage and seeing it through is what she strives to teach young women.
The Q&A section allowed audience members to inquire about common issues in the workplace including flexible work arrangements, work-life balance, and finding trusted business partners. Kim Grant, Owner of Kim Grant Homes, echoed Keri's sentiments regarding age being a business hurdle she has had to overcome. Interestingly, even with both women working in extremely male-dominated industries, each claimed age to be her larger issue at hand.
Judy McLellan of Crye-Leike spoke to the importance of having a mentor, citing her mother, a former realtor, as her biggest influence. And Lauren McHugh, President of Huey's, also noted the importance of finding a mentor at a young age, noting that connecting with someone early on in your career can be a tremendous help in your professional growth.
The entire panel spurred the over 250 women and men into discussion, and the room's intimate setting allowed for quick dialogue. Publisher of the Daily News, Eric Barnes, took questions up until the last second with hands still raised. With the chatter only continuing at the event's wine and cheese reception, one thing is clear - the women & business seminar series is flying, and it doesn't look like it's ready to land anytime soon.

I wanted to share my story with some of you who are looking at this site and thinking - no WAY am I going to be signing up for a 5K! Just a couple of years ago, I was in your shoes and they definitely weren't running shoes. I was extremely overweight, tired, no energy and I just felt unhappy with where I was with my health. It took realizing I couldn't quite keep up with my two young children with the fun activities they wanted to do before I decided it was really time to do something different. A little bit at a time, I changed my habits. Reduced a few things here and there, got a little more active at every opportunity I could. A few of us signed up for a free application on our iPhone called the Couch-to-5K, which helped us to build up from walking to jogging over a span of several weeks. We saw that ESP in Port Angeles was hosting their first ever Mud Run and we had a few months to train for it - so we went for it! We built up a team of some friends and we encouraged each other to stick with our plan, with the end goal being able to finish the ESP Run-A-Muck together, as the Super Mucks! We managed to not only finish the race but we had developed new lifestyles, habits and friendships. And we wanted more running, more mud! So, friends. That is how the S'Klallam Warrior Mud Run was born. A team of newbie runners, who went from Couch-to-5K-ers in just a few months! I promise, if I can do it - anybody can do it! Now my kids have a hard time keeping up with me, instead of the other way around. You have an entire WARRIOR TEAM here to help you, every step of the way. Please join us on this Journey to make the S'Klallam Warrior Mud Run a success and bring health and wellness to as many people in the community as possible. I look forward to getting muddy with you.
Good Luck!
-Melissa the Mud Mangler

Exquisite materials, innovative design, captivating colour and heaps of creative inspiration – Decorex, the UK's leading trade show for interior design, never fails to disappoint and this year was no exception. Our team spent a thrilling couple of days exploring everything that the show had to offer at its new location, Kensington Olympia. These are some of our highlights:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Elegantly combining history and modernity, DUISTT is in constant pursuit of perfection and the collection displayed at this year's Decorex was sublime. From a unique angular sofa, to a beautiful coffee table duo crafted from sleek glossy mahogany and cane weave, we can't wait to see these pieces form the centrepiece of a glamorous living space.
Coralie Beauchamp
Whilst innovation within decorative lighting is commonplace, it's rare to discover something as unique and captivating as Coralie Beauchamp's collection of exquisite fibreglass and carbon braid pendants and lamps. We were drawn to the geometric beauty and sculptural form of these pieces, perhaps not surprising given Coralie's background working for Lanvin couture in Paris. Exceptional pieces that would illuminate the finest of spaces.
Handmade in Scotland, Faolchu's pieces are an ode to exceptional craftsmanship. As luxury design is increasingly copied and replicated, timeless and distinguished pieces such as Faolchu's beautiful hardwood coffee table will increasingly be sought after by discerning clientele. Each piece of wood that Faolchu utilises in its work has been hand selected for its distinctive and unique characteristics.
Using traditional methods that enhance the grain and figure of the wood the team painstakingly work with natural oils and waxes to maintain a natural and beautifully tactile design – simply stunning.
Jennifer Manners
We adore the aesthetic of Jennifer Manners rugs but were thrilled to learn that her new collection has been crafted from recycled plastic. Having spent months developing a plastic yarn that is as soft and durable as traditional materials, it's a welcome accolade from the industry that Jennifer was the recipient of this year's 'Best Sustainable Product' at Decorex. Even better the team informed us that the rugs can be cleaned with diluted bleach – practical and beautiful – a perfect combination!
O'Hare and D'Jafer
Seeking out new and innovative finishes is one of the biggest thrills of visiting a show such as Decorex and we were delighted to spend time with the team at O'Hare and D'Jafer who create the most sublime materials from marquetry, woven and moulded leather. The illustrated 'Gustav' weave is hand woven marine quality leather that has been gilded with an intricate interlocking knot pattern. A statement finish that would drive impact in any scheme.
Villi Zanini
Villi Zanini have been hand crafting the finest panels, gates and balustrades in wrought iron since 1655 and it was wonderful to view some of their work in detail at this year's show. With an almost unlimited capability to bring any design to life, we were particularly drawn to this geometric brass room divider. Functional and decorative, this piece exudes refined elegance and like so many pieces at this year's show is so exceptionally made by master artisans that it will surely stand the test of many years to come.
To learn more about other products and designs that inspire our team or to discuss creating your own piece through our bespoke furniture design service please get in touch – we'd be delighted to hear from you.

Wait! Before you book, how good will that destination look on Instagram?
According to a new piece of research, two-fifths of millennials choose their holiday destination based on how 'Instagrammable' the holiday pics will be!
It seems that the drive to have the perfect online life is starting to affect real life decisions, with over 40% of millennials admitting that the number one deciding factor when choosing where to holiday is how their holiday will appear to their friends and family once it is uploaded to social networking sites, specifically Instagram.
The survey of over 1000 UK adults aged between 18 and 33 was undertaken by holiday home insurance company Schofields Insurance. Asked to identify their prime motivator, the results in order of popularity were:
- How 'Instagrammable' the holiday will be – 40.1%
- Cost/Availability of alcohol – 24%
- Personal development – 22.6%
- Chances to experience the local cuisine – 9.4%
- Opportunities for sightseeing – 3.9%
Commenting on the findings, Phil Schofield, Head of Inbound Marketing at Schofields said:
"I have to admit to being a little astonished by these results. We have recently seen a lot of news coverage around how millennials are making more and more decisions guided by how their life would appear online and so we thought we would see how much they let their portrayed social media presence affect their real life. To see how the holiday snaps appear online being identified as the number one reason to choose a holiday destination really did take us all a little bit by surprise."
Are you surprised?

I made the following curry and rice decided to mix it together and let it steam in the oven for 30 minutes – for a better flavour. It makes a huge difference than if the curry was eaten the usual way. I think it can be called an akhni. The best description of akhni I can give is that it is like a breyani without the lentils. Best served with raita and sambals. I eliminated onion and chilli from the sambals since I'm not the biggest fan of onion and I don't do well eating fresh chilli.
My sister once asked me how I get a lot of gravy in my curry. The trick is to add a little more spices which allows you to add an extra tomato. If an extra tomato is added without increasing the spice quantity – the flavour gets lost. It tastes abit bland.
- cubed steak
- chopped onion
- 1T chilli powder
- 1T dhania / jeera powder
- ½ T gharam masala
- ginger/garlic
- green chilli (optional)
- salt to taste
- tomatoes liquidized
- potatoes
Heat oil and sauté onions. Add spices and salt. Add steak and cook till done. I cheated a little and used the microwavable potatoes. Add tomatoes and let it cook abit.
- 2 cups Basmati rice
- ½ t tumeric powder
- Salt
I boiled the rice and added tumeric for a light yellow colour.
Mix the curry and rice nicely and put in an ovenproof dish in the oven for 30 mins. I did this on 180ºC
Serve with raita and sambals. Raita is a sour-milk salad made of sour milk, fresh coriander, mint, green chilli, salt. Liquidize ingredients. Optional – add cucumber.

The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has appointed Asia PR Werkz for the management of Public Relations And Online Engagement for Total Defence 2017, a campaign organised to raise Singaporeans' awareness of Total Defence and encourage them to play their part in making Singapore strong and secure.

New laws making it illegal to communicate, film or intimidate a woman near a NSW abortion clinic have been passed by the state's parliament.
The legislation, which was supported by Premier Gladys Berejiklian and a host of government MPs, passed the parliament's lower house late last night after a marathon debate.
"The intent of the bill is to ensure that women have safe access to those medical centres, so obviously on that principle that's why I'll be supporting the bill," she told reporters.
The laws, which were passed by the state's upper house in May will provide a 150-metre exclusion zone around clinics and make it an offence to film staff and patients without their consent.
A notable opponent was Minister for Prevention of Domestic Violence Pru Goward, a former sex discrimination commissioner, who said the bill was an attack on freedom of speech.
"My position I know will please no one, but it is the position of my conscience," Ms Goward told a near-empty lower house chamber.
Minister for Women Tanya Davies also opposed the bill and said it "set a low bar" for what constituted an offence.
"I believe that the bill will be counterproductive to the object of women having choice by denying support and informed choice to vulnerable women when they need it the most," Ms Davies said.
Others argued giving women the freedom to access medical clinics without being harassed was not curtailing free speech.
"We are simply setting boundaries around places where women are undergoing some of the most difficult experiences of their lives," Labor MP Jenny Aitchison told parliament.
Nationals leader and Deputy Premier John Barilaro, who supported the bill, told the house he had attended an abortion clinic with a young woman 27 years ago.
Outside parliament, reproductive rights activists and health professionals joined anti-abortion protesters to voice their opinions earlier in the day.
Marie Stopes Clinic nurse unit manager Kitty Grozdich supports the bill and said she, her staff and patients were often subject to harassment on their way into the clinic.
"There is a woman who is standing about 20 metres from me right now, and last week she told me that I'm going to hell," Ms Grozdich told reporters.
"She says that she prays for me. I don't need her prayers, I just need her to go away."

Hello, world!
It's been a long time, hasn't it? The last time I updated my blog – really, one of the last times I ever looked at my blog – I was writing about my favorite Developers on YouTube. That was something like seven months ago, and a lot has happened since then!
For starters, I'm still employed. That's always a good thing to start off with. However, I did receive a slight title change (just due to internal updates to align our titles more accurately with what we're doing), so instead of being a UX Developer, I am now a UI Developer. Literally just a title change; everything else has stayed the same.
I am currently working with the Salesforce team within my company's IT Department. When I was hired, it was a team I was just sort of chosen to become a part of. Aside from some experience with what is now Salesforce Commerce Cloud – knowledge which does my absolutely nothing in my current position – I had never touched a Salesforce product in my life, and while I was familiar with the platform, I was far from an expert on how it worked. (A little secret for you – I'm still not an expert, but you'd be surprised how much you can learn about a thing when you put your mind to it for a while).
In my current position, I have had the opportunity to build some pretty amazing applications for our organization, that will really help our company grow and succeed. Every day, I look forward to seeing what new things I can learn, and what knowledge I can bring to the table to help our various teams succeed.
As for personal projects, I am still working on a full redesign of my website. I promise you it won't just be this simple blog forever. I am hoping to have something launched before the end of this year. I am also still working on personal projects, like the Payoff Estimator, and also making updates to my Tax Calculator from a few years back. Aside from wanting to master the UI aspects of the Salesforce platform, I also seek to stay relevant with other UI skills that may not be directly applicable to my current position. If ever there comes a time when I am place on another team, I don't want to be left in the dust with a silo of knowledge that would no longer serve me.
So far 2019 has served me fairly well. Aside from a minor surgery last month, and falling down a flight of stairs back in February, things have been looking up. I am pretty excited to see what new adventures the next few months will bring me, and what knowledge I'll be able to share with the greater developer community. (I am still considering starting a YouTube channel for tutorials, and chats – I just have to find the free time to produce them, and stick to an actual schedule for releasing them).
Long story short – I'm alive. Alive, and very busy. But so excited for what this year will be bringing.
I hope to write here more often, so hopefully you'll hear from me soon!

Resetting a Timed Spawn Actor
I have an actor on a scene that spawns enemies on a few timers. How do you reset the spawning actor to start over and destroy the enemies that were previously spawned on the scene after the level fails and player goes to retry the level? When a level is failed, I have a Game Over scene with a retry button which resets the score and actor positions, but the spawning and timer continues from where it left off. I've tried retriggering the spawn timer when a Reset attribute, i.e. Spawn when Reset is False, when level fails, go to Game Over scene, retry button changes Reset to True, when scene changes, an actor changes Reset back to False...doesn't work.
Ok, figured this one out...when the retry button triggers Reset to true, I had in my enemy actor, when reset is true, then destroy this actor. That's still not working, but I also had an unpause scene with a change scene within the retry button. When I removed the unpause scene and just kept change scene (back to the failed level), the scene resets, thus removing all the actors that were left spawned on the screen before the scene restarts.

Move For Hunger works with relocation companies to support our communities' food banks. One in 8 Americans struggle to find their next meal, while 1 in 8 relocate each year. Move For Hunger has a huge opportunity to provide relief to those most desperate for our help. While some problems demand complex solutions, tackling our nation's hunger problem relies on one simple equation: Get excess food to those who need it. Please join us in fighting hunger nationwide.
More than 42 million Americans, including 13 million children, rely on emergency food assistance. Each year approximately 40 million Americans relocate. When people move, they throw away "stuff." Unfortunately, a lot of this "stuff" is food that could be delivered to a family in need rather than thrown away. By teaming up with moving companies, real estate agents, and relocation professionals across the country, Move For Hunger provides relief for hungry Americans in need.
We have created a national network of relocation companies working to alleviate hunger in their local communities. Our movers offer to pick up unwanted non-perishable food items from their customers on moving day and deliver it to their local food bank.
We currently work with over 900 moving companies across the United States & Canada and have collected more than 11,500,000 lbs of food (more than 9 million meals). This project will enable us to expand to 1,000 relocation companies in all 50 states and collect over 3,000,000 lbs of food annually.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Delhi Diner by Clark's Inn is located on the top floor of Pacific Mall in Sahibabad. The all-day dining restaurant sports a live kitchen which adds to the energy and entertainment factor of this place. The decor is done in subtle brown and white shades with fairy lights adding to the charm. Opt for the buffet if you want to explore different delicacies. From the À la carte menu opt for the succulent Kastoori Kabab, Diwani Handi, Mushroom Methi Malai Matar, Drum Heaven, Quesadilla and Fish Fingers.
Those more centrally located in Delhi get to enjoy the exciting side of this wonderful city but those living on the side, miss out on loads of fun happenings. Gastronomy is a major force in the city driven by banks of trendy restaurants and hip new pubs surfacing in all the fancy posh locales of Delhi NCR. Places like Ghaziabad that are so far off crave for its own version of fabulous gastronomy but in recent years have seen an increase in its dining scene by the arrival of fancy luxurious hotels. Pacific Mall is a well-loved property in Ghaziabad and is home to some delightful restaurants. Its all-day dining coffee shop 'Delhi Diner' is ideally suited to families and executives looking for some quiet place to dine at or to have an important discussion. It's located at Clarks Inn, Pacific Mall, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad.
If you are part of a large group, choosing to dine at Delhi Diner would work in your favour. This all-day dining restaurant keeps a varied global menu that covers multiple cuisines in one place. For a group with diverse palates, their eclectic menu turns out to be a blessing. A pleasing combination of North Indian, Chinese, Italian and Continental, woos your palate. They back it up with a superb bar selection to accentuate the experience. If not breakfast, begin your meal at Delhi Diner with an array of appetizers. Save your appetite for the main course that entails dishes like, pan fried fish in herb butter, mutton rogan josh, hot & sour vegetables, nargisi malai kofta, Delhi Diner chicken burger, chilli chicken with hot garlic sauce and pindi choley.
Menu is comforting and holds plenty of choices for the patrons. Best way to finish off the meal would be with a rasgulla, the classic Bengali sweet. The restaurant hosts live sports screening during seasons. Interiors are typical of a Delhi hotel, elegant and modern. Décor has a timeless quality to it. While there is nothing imaginative or outstanding about the interiors, Delhi Diner still comes across as refined and semi-formal. Try to grab the table next to the window so that you can admire the view of the mall with your meal. Delhi Diner is a good place to rest a while or kill time over snacks in the mall. Prices are a tad hefty, keep that in mind.

World Fitness takes your Zumba dance workouts to a global scale as you can select groups of songs to tour in particular areas on different continents that will music tailored to the region. This groups a couple songs or so and gives you a good mix in music as it warms you up and then cools you down with some fairly solid music. If your looking for a more casual choice of music there is quickplay and options to create your own playlists. This can all be done solo or with a coop partner as you dance to the moves which are scored based on your performance in par to your instructor and matched to a five star system. This makes sense though I don't know how perfect it is aiming to be in scoring your moves and this keep it in the casual area. On top of the scoring system you are also given extra bonus unlocks depending on how many points you rack up or the particular mode you are in. The main chunk of the game was well done and the music mixed with movement makes it probably the top motion based game for the launch.
As noted everything can be done solo or with a buddy within the game and it tracks well for both. The graphics looks very beautiful once in the game with the nicely drawn backdrops and intense real instructors. Though their smiles did at times scare me, it isn't something to take negatively. The soundtrack was fairly decent and I knew quite a few of the songs so that is always a bonus with each bringing a differing element to the world theme.
Zumba Fitness will definitely give you a great workout and is at the top of motion games for launch. The soundtrack is fairly solid and each track brings a different feel to the game. The graphics were very nice and the menus were easy to move through, though I would have though they would also support a controller. You will build a good sweat with the game and in the end get exactly what you expect going into it. I don't honestly haven't done any sort of Zumba before and came out of the game with a positive feel towards it.

Red Moon and Beehive
Alan Dyer
Saskatchewan -
Date: 2019 January 20
from the photographer: "I shot this from an oil well access road south of Lloydminster, just over the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary on the Saskatchewan side. This is a single exposure of 25 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 with the Nikon D750 and Sigma 20mm Art lens, but with a shorter exposure of 1 second blended in for the Moon itself so it retains its color and appearance to the naked eye. Your eye can see the eclipsed Moon and Milky Way well but the camera cannot in a single exposure. The scene, taken right after the start of totality, just fit into the field of the 20mm lens. The Moon was in Cancer, near the Beehive star cluster (M44) and east of the winter Milky Way. Sirius is the bright star above me; Orion is at right."

Mark L. Strauss is Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary in San Diego. He has authored many books and is the co-author, with Gordon D. Fee, of How to Choose a Translation for all its Worth.
A few years back, in November 2008, Mark published a paper critiquing the English Standard Version. The paper is entitled: Why the English Standard Version (ESV) should not become the Standard English Version. This paper is a must-read for people who think the ESV is a superior translation, and so I have included a link on my site.
Please note, the purpose of his critique of the ESV is not to argue about supposed gender roles or about women in ministry. Mark Strauss holds to some complementarian views that he explains here.

G.Skill showcases 5066MHz memory kit at Computex
The world's fastest dual-channel memory kit
Published: 7th June 2018 | Source: Techpowerup |
G.Skill showcases 5066MHz memory kit at Computex
This extreme memory kit was shown on an MSI Z370I Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard with an Intel i7 8700K processor, operating at the G.Skill booth with timings of CL 21-26-26-54, which are pretty low timings considering the insane speeds offered by this memory kit.
Moving down to lower memory speeds, the company has decided to create a kit with the "Ultimate Combination of Frequency and timings", delivering a 4800MHz memory kit with CL 17-17-17-37 timings. This kit is based on Samsung B-Die memory and showcases the lowest latencies possible at such a high frequency. This kit was demoed on an ASUS ROG Maximus X APEX motherboard.
Moving away from Intel platforms, G.Skill has also showcased a high-speed 4,000MHz memory kit running on an AMD Ryzen-based system, showcasing the memory overclocking benefits offered by X470 and Ryzen 2nd Generation processors.
This kit users timings of CL 18-22-22-42, which are a lot more slack than the faster 4800MHz kit that we mentioned above.
If G.Skill wanted to show anything at Computex, it was that they want to be known as the memory market; s top dog, delivering the fastest memory kits, extremely low timings and the ability to offer high memory speeds across both Intel and AMD CPU platforms.
You can join the discussion on G.Skill's 5066MHz memory kits on the OC3D Forums.

While waiting for my van to be repaired, I read a fun story about a couple who traded in their Cadillac for a Jaguar XK8 convertible. I couldn't help smiling with understanding as I read their typical story.
"As we drove along on a country lane with the top down, Barb and I looked at each other and grinned. Last time we did this, we got married.
"This time we bought a Jaguar. … There was not warranty, but Dave Mueller, our salesman, said, 'If any problems crop up in the next week or so, we will of course take care of them.' And he was as good as his word.
"Ten miles from the dealership, a warning light appeared on the dash. 'DSC System Fault.' Oh-oh; now it starts, I thought. Dynamic Stability Control. I immediately called Dave, and he said, 'Take it to the Jaguar dealer and we'll pay for whatever it needs.' Turned out it was a faulty steering position sensor ($495), instantly diagnosed and fixed the next day. Done, and no more problems since. Or ever again, I'm sure. The British car owner's prayer."
Peter Egan in "The Jaguar Solution" in Road & Track August 2012

Small Side Games of functional and match related nature becomes one of several methods we need use for our teams guaranteed success. Knowing that they are used world wide to develop top players into the professional ranks we need to know how and when to use them in our weekly training sessions. This type of training will promote more goals and stopping your opposition from scoring goals on your side.

My Best to You.

Training Your Players with Small Sided Games"
Coaching Educational Benefits of Using Small Side Games
Lets face it, if we cant get players to play the Good Game (What the Rest of the World is Experiencing) to develop not only our own clubs program and potentially the level of play in our parish, confederation and eventually the nation we might as well remove ourselves from the coaching ranks. This game is not about you the coach. Its about the players. We are there only to teach them and move their game and life forward. If youve had coaches who have done that for you know what Im saying. If youve had coaches that the game was all about their egos and trying to force something out of you and never had anything to do with the game (like running all day long and never touching a football) then you need to never be like them and I hope that youve chosen to coach so you can impact your players by using the actual match like never before.
Small Side Games will do this with the right approach and one that is centered on only the game in both attack and defense. Thats what the player dreams about (remember your dreams), so be a dreamer with them and make the Good Game happen for them not for you. Your real playing days are coming to end or they may even be over.
Some of the results from taking our GSM International Coaching Courses can be as follows, but you wont see them unless you attend. One thing we all need to do is always have a deep desire to never stop learning. Our GSM courses have always been open to any level of coach (from youth to a national level) and only for one reason, i.e. educate coaches to educate players. Come and join us.
1. As coaches we want our players to touch the soccer ball more often to become more functionally and match related skillfully with it.
2. As coaches we want our players to make more quality decisions during the game and understand that they have a specific playing role but that their role can change do to the nature of the game. Example: Place changing in attacking and defense during a match as they may have to play another person job.
3. As coaches we want our players to be more physically efficient (technique or higher playing skill level, tactical awareness and match football fitness) in the field space in which they normally play in their position in a match.
4. As coaches we want our players to have more involved playing time in the game. (More opportunity to solve problems by themselves that only the game presents and without the coaches hammer away at them from the side lines verbal to create a disaster of the game).
5. As coaches we want our players to have more opportunities to play on both sides of the ball. (More exposure to attacking and defending situations)
6. As coaches we want our players to have more opportunities to create scoring opportunities in numbers of attempts and simply score goals and keeper to make more saves in training. (Pure excitement and of course what this great game is all about).
7. As coaches we want our players to touch the ball more often to become more functionally and match related tactically with other team mates to produce a better awareness (almost becoming instinctive) during full matches.
The Small-Sided environment is a developmentally appropriate environment for our soccer players. Its a FUN environment that focuses on the player.
PHILOSOPHY and BENEFITS OF SMALL SIDED GAMES
In order to appreciate the structure behind small sided games and understand their philosophy usage is helpful. A sound philosophy will save time and provides continuity. It will have a consistent structure and include a set of assumptions upon which the decisions are based. The following are a few assumptions and the decisions that follow when using small sided games in your training
What players enjoy about the activity will differ. The motivation for playing will vary among individuals. Emphasize the elements of the real world wide game that appeal to the majority of participants.
Winning is important. The game was design to be won. Winning is the final objective. Coaching through small sided games moves players towards this objective.
A Team or playing groups objective is always composed of smaller objectives (or steps to achieve a goal). These are the proficiencies which must be mastered. Coach specific objectives for individual players playing role can be had through small side game training methods.
Learning is important. Learning then becomes a measurement by a permanent change in behavior in individual players, playing groups (like 2 forwards and 2 central midfield players) or the entire teams play. Learning takes many forms through many methods. Some players learn fast while others make take a few more weeks of efforts, but still learning will take places from the readiness of the player or players state of acceptance that what youre offering them really works for them because it make total sense.
The game provides the measure for success and when a player or groups of players have achieved multiple successes they start to believe they are being significant. The game embodies certain principles and structures for success. Evaluations are made by meeting the needs of the game. Small side games will allow you the coach evaluation and the player can evaluate better as well. Coaching then becomes for you to find an approach where by your players can start evaluating themselves. If youre not using small side game our players are missing out.
Players learn to play soccer by playing soccer. They don't learn by doing something else. Use the game for change and not some other sport. Remember when they line up on the field and the ref blows the whistle they are not in the starting blocks to do a 100 meter race or a 5000 meter run.
The coach that does not stay ahead of his players holds back his players. As the players on your team grow, the coach must also grow. Educate your players by using and coaching the game. Your players know you better than you think. You can't hide from them when you stand next to them daily. They are ready to have something positive happen to them in their game and life.

GSM Coaching Football Leadership Series
"In today's game football leaders, coaches and administrator need to be able bring something to the table for others and not themselves. Some ideas about what football leaders need to do!"
Leaders Must Be Committed or Give It Up!
Commitment means more than the physical hard work and emotional energy it takes to do the work on and off the field. A significant level of mature commitment is also required. If youre going to serve others through your passion for the game, you need to put in extra time to commit to your person developmental concerns for yourself and your team. Guess what? Its a hard battle. You dont give in and dont give up. Were to be lasting in our commitment to better ourselves to better our players.
There are characteristics that make up the commitment coaches need. They are very important if you are to be able to serve and move your passion forward. As you read some of the following, evaluate where you perceive yourself to be or where others would perceive you to be at this point in your coaching:
Give Yourself a Characteristic Overhaul
You Need to Love
You need to be honest and speak the truth in a caring manner and to do this it takes some love expressed correctly. Love is our greatest gift for others. Carrying and showing your love goes beyond the field. Love is sacrificing your self for another. Its a gift you have that can develop and grow not only inside you but as you give it away is easier to accept than hating someone and expressing a negative effort when coaching.
Players Need to Be Mentored
Most players dont have a lot of people in their lives that tell and show them that they appreciated and care for them, and who care enough about them to tell them about their development in the game and talk to them about their lives. Your job is to help improve their match play and to help grow their life walk. Coaches need not fear teaching players truth. Just do it in a loving and honest way. Your honest answer is a sign of your friendship with your players, and it helps build their trust in you.
The game of soccer is for the tough and sturdy coach and player. By the very nature of the game, we need not be afraid of conflicts that arise. Face them head on. Dont gloss them over and create a false sense of peace. Players can sense inter-team problems quickly, so such problems need to be solved as soon as possible. Open discourse is a must. There must be no secrets that let negativism get in on the act. Keep it out and off your team.
As you teach, your team is to be connected by the very nature of the game; they can be connecting with your leadership at the same time you teach the game. A real coach with a real team depends on his honesty and frankness, and through his coaching he creates a commitment to be about what he stands for and what hes about on and off the field. If you can influence your players to be honest, youve guaranteed they will be further committed to the team.
You Need to Be Humble
Have you ever experienced a coach who is stubborn, single-minded, the picture of self-importance, a know-it-all guy, rude, or an Its my way or the highway kind of person? I had a high school coach who had no clue about working with players to improve them on the field or positively touch some aspect of their hearts. He had no interpersonal relationship skills. He did such a bad job that I think he probably indirectly drove me to make a better effort than he did. He had no idea how to coach or treat players. It was his way or the highway, and he was so stubborn that he was not appreciated. Not many players wanted to commit to him, but we were stuck with him. We played because we loved sportsnot because we liked or loved him. My love for sports superseded my dislike of him, and it was the same for many players on our team. He would not make it in todays school systems. He would be found out pretty soon and would lose his position. I dont think he could spell the word Love and kindness would be really difficult. Sometimes, when there is nobody for the hiring, somebody has to fill in. Theyre out there still, arent they? They are not humble, but are full of pride and have no clue.
You Dont Need Pride
Pride blocks you from moving ahead with the development of your players soccer growth. Pride blocks movement toward what real purpose youre to have in this game. With pride on your plate, you will struggle to integrate your passion for the game into the lives of your players. Prideful coaches may think theyre getting the job done, but their self absorbed blindness is killing their players. How about making some better choices, my friend?
When Humility Fails and Your Pride Rules
Here are a few ideas I suggest you use when your pride starts to appear and your humility is not functioning correctly. Try them. They can work for you if you use them:
Learn to Be More Patient
Be willing to wait for your players to respond. Let them try to sort out and solve problems in training sessions so they develop skills that carry over to matches. Dont expect instant perfectionRome wasnt built in a ninety-minute match. Have some fun, then wait and see whether they can respond to your coaching. Dont try to manipulate them with pressure; it doesnt work effectively. All you have to do is figure out a new way to teach them to play better. After all, youre the coach, and you need to be able to challenge them with different approaches. If youre patient with your players, chances are theyll get it and will be able to put a bigger effort into what you want from them. Theyll even appreciate you giving them some time to get where you wanted them to go. So try waiting for a whileits a kinder approach and more loving. Remember you have a responsibility to teach and guide your players correctly.
Be Ready to Receive Correction and Follow It
Youre not the only guy on the block. For years, my wife *Jamaican) has been my greatest advisor and friendwhether or not I like or want it. If only I had listened to her earlier in my coaching career! They say behind every man is a good partner. In my case, as I say from time to time, behind my dead brain cells is an unbelievable wife. In your case, it could be an older person who could mentor you. It could be your players; listen to what they think about you. Find a friend who will hold you accountable for getting it together. Remember that youre not always right. Lifes a learning experience, and the answers are out there if you dont know them all. Find them to do your job better.
Point the Spotlight Away From Yourself
Give honor and the credit for your accomplishments to other people who were part of it and who deserve some of the applause. Most likely it will be your players, who have to physically and mentally put up with what you give them and who kill themselves for you.
Be Careful What You Say In Public
Keep your public words to a minimum and keep what youd sometimes like to say to players inside you. Dont kill with your words, but rather show love through them. Make sure your words please rather than destroy.
Humbly Think and Do Things for Others, Not For Your Agenda
In essence, humility is the act of thinkingless about you. You think, do, and say more aboutyour players and other staff than you do about yourself.When you start focusing mentally and verbally on othersand their successes, youre honoring your players and team. Focusing less onthe me concept and more on the others concept means youreon target for becoming the humble character your to be. Through the practice of being more humble,you will cultivate your players to play better and you willhave a better chance of working with them to developtheir growth. Humble men are men to be trustedand believed. If you want your players to believe and trustyou, be a humble character.
Respect Your Players Regardless of Who They Are and How They Play
The key to gaining the respect ofyour team is to understand where your players are comingfrom and where you believe you can take them. We allcarry baggage that affects our daily living. Players are nodifferent. They carry baggage just like you, sometimespretty heavy stuff. Weve all seen many types of baggage:divorced parents, the death of a family member, boyfriendor girlfriend problems, drugs, stealing, cheating, alcohol,bad grades, and a plethora of other issues. Dont emphasizehow far your players have to go to change their baggage,but rather how far they have come with the baggage theycarry. Remember that if we had to clean up our baggagebefore we became mature, we never could have beenable to coach. You coach players, not baggage. As you accept your players and helpbring their lives and games together, you will be able helpget them out of the holes theyre in. If you respect yourlayers as players and resist disrespecting them becausehey carry loads that burden them, they will respect you for working with them, and that will build confidence within them to move their very characters, lives, and game forward.
Develop a confidentiality policy among your staff, your players, and yourself. If your players can come to you privately, youll be the guy they trust. It often takes time for this to happen. You have to prove that your mouth is a locked safe, and nothing is allowed out. Your heart becomes a private vessel that retains the problems, hurts, secrets, and expectations of your players. Until they allow you to share, you are just a sponge soaking up your players confidence in you. You need commitment beyond the match. By committing to your team members and bringing them alongside you, youll be serving them with your passion.
You must make a consolidated effort to help them in their game and grow your team and every player is your responsibility and must be your hearts desire.
Paul Banta
This integrity thing is something to get serious about and start making those choices that will not only win games but the hearts of your players for the rest of their lives. If you think this is not your responsibility youre in the wrong game
Love dat.... more vibes!

10 reasons to book a stay at our Holiday Villages
In honour of the 10-year anniversary of our Holiday Villages we thought we'd take a look at the top 10 reasons why it's a good idea to book a Holiday Villages holiday, and why the concept has been going strong for a whole decade while being refined to perfection every year.
10 years of Holiday Villages, 10 great reasons to visit and all in 10 beautiful destinations including resorts in Turkey, Costa del Sol, Sharm el Sheikh, Lanzarote, Majorca, Rhodes, Cyprus, Ibiza and Menorca.
1. All inclusive food and drink
All the food and drink you will enjoy in the Holiday Villages are included in the price you pay to begin with. This keeps your budget on track, and means the whole family can relax at mealtimes and in the evening without worrying about breaking the bank. Holiday Village holidays are all about choice for everyone on the trip.
2. Plenty of outdoor adventures
You will find a huge amount of things for kids to occupy themselves with at the Holiday Villages. Leave them with the professional team at the kids' clubs and they can enjoy activities like treasure hunts and circus workshops – just think, they could come back to you a unicycle master!
Most Holiday Villages will also have sessions in aeroball, archery, rounders and crazy golf too.
All our Falcon Holiday kids' clubs are run to UK standards, so experienced and friendly reps are NVQ Level 3-qualified, DBS-checked and first aid-trained.
3. Plenty of indoor adventure too
Rooms are specifically designed to provide comfort for families and a space to enjoy leisure time together. You'll find a range of suites or in Egypt and Turkey you can enjoy the Kids' Den rooms which give the kids their own area to chill out, or at least get out of the sun for a while. End a day of outdoor fun by returning to our plush and colourful Holiday Village accommodation.
4. Aerial adventure assault courses
Make the most of the exciting high ropes courses at all of our villages. The trained professionals will rig you up in a harness and kids and adults can swing, climb and walk across a whole host of different routes. This is a great way to bond as a family and experience life as an adventurer in the 'jungle'.
5. Splash parks
Where there's sun there's got to be some splash, that's why most of our Holiday Villages will have a splash park on site. This includes pools, slides, flumes and fountains for the whole family to have fun with. Some villages will even have a pirate ship too.
6. Football, stage and swimming academies
Let the kids master a new skill at your chosen Holiday Village with academies in football, stage and swimming. Anyone aged 5-15 can join the UEFA-qualified coaches to go through the drills and play a few games, while under-4s can join the Toddler Football Academy with their parents in tow.
Razzamataz run the stage workshops over the summer for wannabe chart-toppers keen on music, acting and dance. Under-5s can join the Mini Razzamataz sessions to set them on the road to stardom.
If swimming is more your thing anyone aged 8-16 can join the rookie lifeguard classes to be well on their way to being able to save lives. Or, if your child needs to get back to basics, and learn a few crawls 3-16-year-olds can take instruction from the on site ASA-qualified teachers.
7. Free child places available
The whole aim of our Holiday Villages is ease and choice so we've racked up a few benefits to keep the whole family having fun. As well as internet facilities and comfortable rooms you can also get free places for your first child. These are limited though so make sure you book your free child's spot ASAP.
8. Great food and entertainment
Whichever Holiday Village you decide to go for you'll always have at least 2 a la carte restaurants to choose from. Expect to find themed eateries, including Italian, Mexican and Chinese. All the restaurants are included in the all inclusive price you paid at the beginning so you can just reserve your table when you get there and eat away (supplements may apply to a few items on the extensive menus).
The Holiday Villages also have a choice of bars, some with cabaret singers and comedians. A few resorts also have adults only bars for couples and anyone who needs a little break from the kids too.
9. Health and fitness facilities
Take some time out with the spa facilities at our Holiday Villages. There are all kinds of treatments available, and steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools and gyms to relax and rejuvenate in too. You'll need to pay for any extra treatments but the main facilities will be included in your all-inclusive price.

The following is part of a three-part series on the hard-working folks behind Belgium's most magical beers. Read the entire series here.
"I think it's not a miracle to simply brew beer. There is no great intelligence, from me, surely. At first, I just took old, simple recipes from people like my grandparents, who were brewing—like all people from small family farms—only to have something at home to drink from natural ingredients. Not anymore!
"Always I try to have originality in my recipes, not a small copy of another good beer. Creativity must be for me a—the!—main interesting part. To craft brew is also to try to have a simple life—even if not always easy in this life, and in this world of money. I really try to keep my real friends, and have good time for them.
"Now, there are always some brise-bonbons who want to be the best, the first, the fat cat, the better brewer. No chance; I don't want to be this at all! And surely not a businessman—even if a few more riches would help me a lot at this moment. About the main brew work here, it's all a bit too 'handmade.' It's true, this work is from another century. And the equipment, too. But it's so… I cannot change it all. It's too expensive for me!
"Well, the work is a bit hard and always in movement like Mick Jagger. If some people say I do absolutely nothing whatsoever in my brewery, I must keep a sort of English calm. That's not easy for me! One of my favorite old series from TV is still The Avengers, for the English 'keep calm' side, and the action. Also my main hobby is playing a bit, restoring old classic English cars. Well to be really honest, the presence of Emma Peel is also a very good reason!
"Do you see this aspect? It's surely why there is confusion from the beer lovers. It's not me that's the star. But this small 'consideration' gives me a small, good pleasure! I have never had this kind of recognition in my area. Because I'm not a big-business talker, and an unconventional brewery.
"When I have time for it, I would like to write a small book about the story of this 'fabulous' brewery. It was at first just a joke with my father, because he had a lot of time on his hands when he retired, so we created this brew for the fun—without having really drunk good beer!
"There are so many events since the year '88. Met a lot of good people. And some are no longer here. But don't forget my little motto, 'Never get too serious!'"

Unless you're talking about a munchies-inspired craving for the beloved doorstep desserts themselves, prepare to nix Girl Scout Cookies from your cannabis vocabulary.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) has announced that "kid-friendly" strain names will be banned in the recreational market – effective immediately. That includes popular strains like Girl Scout Cookies, Cinderella 99, Candyland, Grape Ape, Charlotte's Web, and Skywalker OG. In total, the bans covers about 20 strain names.
The rule comes with strict packaging requirements limiting colorful or cartoon-like designs. These new regulations have been introduced despite the fact that in Oregon, recreational cannabis is only sold to those who are 21 and older in facilities 1,000 feet away from schools or parks, where all products come in child-resistant packaging.
In its announcement, the OLCC made clear that the strains themselves are not banned, but rather, that the names on the labels must be changed.
Allie Beckett of Marijuana.com notes that alcohol products that could be appealing to children, such as Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka and PB&J Vodka, are still very much permitted on commercial shelves.
"Don't get me wrong, the argument of protecting children from potentially dangerous substances is completely legitimate…But these industries should be treated equally and alcohol needs to be held to the same standard as cannabis," says Beckett.
Beckett adds that these naming issues likely stretch beyond a concern for children's safety, stating that "these new regulations are suspiciously close to trademark infringement protection - a common topic in the less-than-regulated cannabis world." Due to the fact that all of these strains were made in an underground culture, consideration wasn't necessarily given to international trademarks of mega-corporations like Disney.
"This small state law could be setting the nation up for something more significant," says Beckett. "A nationwide regulated market will not tolerate strains named after trademarked characters such as Cinderella, Dr. Who, and Bruce Banner."

If they have pain in one area I have them roll/wrap it up around that area and they feel a change within a few minutes.
Or I wrap it around a glass of water or juice comparing it with a glass of the same liquid, and they notice the difference. For me the product works, as I also have an ion meter that verifies its negative ion output, and after 3 years of the bracelets or e-ring long the energy has not gone down it increased. Enjoy!

"I was impressed as shoulder pain eased and the body felt light as soon as I wore it. "
I often got shoulder/neck pain after I worked on my PC all day long. I was wondering what to do to ease the pain. I heard that electromagnetic waves emitted from the PC display were not good for the body. I found this product when I was googling a product which would help to improve blood circulation and protect me from the electromagnetic waves.
I was impressed as shoulder pain eased and the body felt light as soon as I wore it. I often felt sick in a crowd. (e.g. busy train) I am OK when I am wearing this product. Thank you for this great ring. It protects me.

US Opposes ant-Nazi Resolution in the UN General Assembly
UN adopts Russian proposed anti-Nazi resolution
19/ 11/ 2008
UN, November 19 (RIA Novosti) – The UN General Assembly on social and humanitarian issues has adopted a draft resolution proposed by Russia on tackling a rise in the glorification of Nazism and the desecration of WWII monuments.
The draft resolution on "combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," is aimed at tackling the practice in the former Soviet republics of Latvia and Estonia of honoring SS veterans who fought for Nazi Germany during WWII.
"Nazi monuments are unveiled in a ceremonial atmosphere and the dates of liberation from the Nazis are proclaimed as days of mourning," Russia's UN representative, Grigory Lykyantsev, told the UN, adding that "this attitude towards anti-fascist veterans plays into the hands of those who call for 'a pure race.'"
The resolution was passed with 122 countries voting in favor, while 54 delegations abstained, including Ukraine, Estonia and Latvia. Only the U.S. voted against. The resolution is now practically guaranteed to be adopted at the next UN General Assembly session in December.
Parades in honor of Waffen-SS veterans, involving veterans from the Latvian Legion and the 20th Estonian SS Division and their supporters, are held annually in Latvia and Estonia. Russia has repeatedly criticized the Baltic States for allowing these parades to take place.
Another former Soviet republic, Ukraine, announced plans in July to erect a statue in Lutsk, western Ukraine, honor of Stepan Bandera, a leader of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) that fought against the Soviets during WWII.
The resolution also raises Russian concerns over the dismantling and desecration of Soviet-era WWII monuments and the "unlawful exhumation" or transfer of the remains of those killed in the fight against fascism.
The dismantling in Tallinn of the Soviet war memorial, the Bronze Soldier, just before the May 9, 2007 Victory Day celebrations in Russia led to street protests in which over 1,000 people were arrested and one Russian national was killed.
Relations between Russia and Latvia and Estonia have also been strained over what Moscow calls the two states' unequal treatment of ethnic Russians, the alleged persecution of Soviet WWII veterans, and the apparent revival of nationalism and fascism.

I hope you are all being told today what an amazing job you are doing by your grateful and devoted partners and children.
Because seriously? Do we all know how lucky we are to have these partners? To be parenting in these times?
We only have to look back to our own Dad's - bless 'em and we ought be grateful for them too - to see the remarkable changes that have occurred in fatherhood in the last thirty years.
It's not that long ago, within each of our lifetimes that it was the societal norm for the work of running a house and raising a family to be divided along gender lines. And for parenting to be seen as women's work.
I don't live in a fantasy land where these gender divides have vanished altogether, in fact it amazes me sometimes when I think about how traditionally my own home runs.
It has come as a surprise to me, for example that I have not wanted to return to the workforce (yet) after having kids while my partner goes out to work.
His work is not regular and he is home more often than not and therefore he has been a very present Dad. Very engaged and "hands on."
But it strikes me that even those Dads who do work long hours outside of the home now, in this era still make it a priority to be home to see their kids and to engage with them in real ways.
And this engagement, this changing nappies, this bathing, this reading bedtime stories and feeding messy dinners, this hands on approach leads to an emotional closeness that I think many fathers of generations past missed out on.
And the kids missed out too.
There aren't too many fathers in our circles now who don't hug and kiss and cry with their kids and what a beautiful thing that is.
I feel very grateful to be raising my kids in such an emotionally generous generation and in the presence of such emotionally engaged Dads.
There are good men out there, doing a great job of being men and Dads, thoughtfully, compassionately and respectfully.
There's a lot of debate at the moment about sexism and poor attitudes towards women and that needs to happen too - no doubt.
But this Father's Day I am grateful that we are of a generation where hands on fatherhood is expected and embraced and enjoyed.
And I'm thrilled that my kids are the recipients of that.

Bottle Cutting in the UK
Get your authentic Kinkajou Bottle Cutter on amazon today
The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter is the original, quality constructed and safe to use glass bottle cutter. Designed and invented by Bottle Cutting Inc, hundreds of thousands of Kinkajous have been sold around the world. We have taken care to manufacture a high quality, effective product.
The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter was designed to be the ultimate hand held bottle cutter. The cutting wheel is made from high quality tungsten carbide steel that lasts over 200 cuts. The Kinkajou adjusts to fit round bottles with a circumference ranging from 43 to 102mm. Our bottle cutting process consists of 3 main steps: scoring, separating, and finishing.
Scoring Process: Insert a bottle into the Kinkajou so that the cutting wheel lines up to the desired cutting location and adjust the screws until the Kinkajou grasps the bottle firmly but still allows it to easily turn. Engage the cutting wheel and rotate the bottle one complete turn ONLY. You will hear our signature "Kinkajou Click" once the rotation is complete.
Separation Process: Place a separation tie on each side of the score line and pour alternating streams of boiling and cold water to stress the glass. The Kinkajou can handle thick and thin bottles just fine however thicker glass may require more cycles of boiling and cold water to force the separation.
Finishing Process: Your Kinkajou kit includes 3 sheets of 80-grit sandpaper. This sandpaper will easily remove any sharp edge but if you're looking for that gorgeous, polished edge, we highly recommend our Saber Tooth Diamond Sanding Pad Kit. We tend to cut bottles with attractive painted labels because preserving paper labels is a challenge. The variety of bottles is endless, and so are the projects you can create with the Kinkajou Bottle Cutter.
Please note the instructions above are a quick summary. Refer to the Instruction Manual included in your kit for safety and operational procedures.

Editorial: The message we need to read in graffiti
We'd like to think the reporting of a recent flurry of incidents involving anti-Semitic graffiti at three Connecticut schools is merely an indicator of growing sensitivity.
Perhaps students and staff are raising hands in objection rather than simply scrubbing away offensive symbols and remarks or ignoring them entirely. To dismiss them is to normalize them.
That's our glass half-full conclusion.
The glass half-empty take isn't a glass at all, and it will never be empty. It's that Pandora's box that uses social media to fuel hate so feverishly that toxic messages are spread by children.
Regardless of the interpretation, it's disturbing that within one week, anti-Semitic graffiti was found at Hamden High School, Middlesex Middle School in Darien and Staples High School in Westport.
Officials at the schools deserve credit for immediately seeking guidance from the state chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, which provides programs to educate students on the impact of anti-Semitism.
"Three in a week like this, in schools, this is unusual," Connecticut ADL Director Steve Ginsburg said. "... In Connecticut, and nationwide over the past several years, we have seen a trend toward more than we did in the decades before."
While we support the response of school officials, educating students on the issue shouldn't merely occur as a reaction. This will happen again, and it could happen anywhere.
Just a few weeks ago, similar graffiti was found at a Newtown synagogue. Earlier this year, a swastika was painted on the doors of St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport.
The number of reported incidents wavers, but never disappears. The ADL reported 39 anti-Semitic incidents in the state last year, a drop from 49 in 2017.
Former state Rep Toni Boucher and state Sen. Tony Hwang succeeded in securing the passage of bills in 2017 and 2018 that required tougher convictions on hate crimes and mandated lessons about the Holocaust and genocide in Connecticut high schools.
It might sound absurd for a student to graduate high school without learning about these issues, but Boucher noted that the legislation languished for a decade. Support tilted after the national rise in reported incidents of anti-Semitism following the 2016 election.
Ginsburg wisely pointed out that perpetrators of the graffiti may be unaware of the significance of the words and symbols they use. They could, he reasoned, simply be trying to incite reactions from peers and staff members.
Social media gave new muscle to bullies and opened floodgates to blind discrimination. Carving bigoted messages with a knife or cheap pen is more primitive than spewing hate speak online, but the effect can be the same.
We applaud the empathy Ginsburg suggests be shown to youths who may be uninformed. Unfortunately, this is a lesson too many Americans of all ages still don't grasp. Four states (Georgia, Arkansas, South Carolina and Wyoming) still lack hate crime laws.
The only hope of emptying the Pandora's box is to teach students before such hate is expressed.

The Most Holy Name of Mary
Sirach 24:17–21
Luke 1:46–48, 49–50, 53–54
Victory in the Name of Mary
In 1683 Pope Innocent XI extended the existing Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary to the universal Church to thank Our Lady for the victory of John Sobieski, king of Poland, over the forces of militant Islam. On September 11th, 1683, Muslim Turks attacked Vienna, threatening the Christian West. The next day, Sobieski, invoking the Blessed Virgin Mary and placing his forces under her protection, emerged victorious.
A Feast Restored to the Roman Missal
In the culture of the Middle East one thinks more readily in terms of centuries than in terms of years. It would seem that Osama Bin Ladin chose September 11th for the attack on the United States in memory of that attack on the West on September 11th, 1683. Symbolic dates are important. Pope John Paul II restored the feast of the Holy Name of Mary with the publication of the Third Typical Edition of the Roman Missal in 2002, one year after the attacks of September 11th, 2001.
The Invocation of the Name of Mary
The Holy Mother of God is no stranger to the struggles of her children in this valley of tears. She is attentive to every situation that threatens this world of ours, to every assault against the Church and, when we invoke her Holy Name, she is quick to intervene. When it comes to calling upon the Name of Mary, there is no struggle too global and too enormous, and no struggle too personal or too little. In the Bible, the name wields a mysterious power. Names are not to be pronounced casually or lightly. Names are not to be taken in vain. The invocation of the name renders present the one who is named. So often as you pronounce the sweet Name of Mary with devotion and confidence, Mary is present to you, ready to help. So often as you pronounce the sweet Name of Mary, you have her full and undivided attention.
As Oil Poured Out
The saints, drawing on a verse from the Song of Songs, compare the Name of Mary to a healing oil. "Thy Name is as oil poured out" (Ct 1:2). Oil heals the sick, gives off a sweet fragrance, and nourishes fire. In the same way the Name of Mary is like a balm on the wounds of the soul; there is no disease of the soul, however malignant, that does not yield to the power of the Name of Mary. The sound of Mary's Name causes joy to spring up; the repetition of Mary's Name warms the heart. If you would touch the Heart of the Father, pronounce the Name of Jesus; if you would touch the Heart of Jesus, pronounce the Name of Mary.
