Thanks for the vote of confidence Kath. I think it was more luck than judgement and Stuart at Barn Owl doesn't think that they have spoilt HIS boat so they must look OK.

It didn't take us very long to travel from Columbus IN to the first rest stop in Kentucky. I forgot my fave pillow (again) at the hotel because Mr. Got Up Early-Ready to Go was making me rush. He promises to buy me a new one. OK I guess I will be good with that.
It was a spectacular morning, if a bit crisp temperature-wise. But we saw lots of redbud and dogwood in bloom. And real leaves on the trees. The roads were not congested even tho it was morning rush hour in Louisville.

Jardin, pronouced hardin is just 4 hours South of Medellin. The route takes you around someone amazing mountain cliffs and dense forests- but the road is windy- so take this as a warning!
However once reached Jardin, I believe it is one of the most beautiful places in Colombia ,due to its colonial charm that hasn't been taken over by tourism (just yet!) as well as its location in the middle of one of the most green mountain ranges I have seen! Literally taking after its name 'garden'.
Due to its high altitude walking around Jardin is pleasant, but the best thing to do is sit in the main plaza and 'crowd watch' with the locals with a little tinto (A colombian version of espresso). The Plaze is surrounded by brightly coloured homes and restaurants making it a warm and charming place.
There is a cable car or some organised hikes (to cue del Esplendor) that can take you up into the mountains and see the view of the coffee and banana plants, but I choose a hostel which was just on the outskirts of the town, where I could get a pretty awesome view right from my window!
Whilst in Jardin, you must try trout for atleast one meal as it is farmed in numerous trout farms – La Trucheria-in the area (one was a 5 minute walk away from my hostel). It is butterflied and roast served with the usual rice!

RENTON, Wash. (AP) Kevin Williams signed with Seattle in part because he wouldn't be asked to carry the load anymore.
Going into his 12th NFL season, Williams would be able to share and spread the snaps out in the hopes of staying fresh throughout the season.
So far, it's worked great for the veteran defensive tackle.
''It's definitely easier to walk around during the week without taking such a beating on Sunday,'' Williams said.
That plan is about to take a drastic change.
The loss of defensive tackle Brandon Mebane to a torn hamstring leaves a gaping hole in Seattle's defensive front. Mebane was Seattle's run-stuffer; the nose tackle playing over the ball who regularly took up two blockers and cleared space for the rest of the Seahawks defense to run down ball carriers.
There's no one reason why Seattle has had one of the best run defenses in the league the past two seasons. But Mebane was a big part of that success.
''He just seemed to be more consistent being a factor and making plays and penetrating. It's not always the tackles that he makes, but it the plays that he forces because he's got great penetration and the ball gets bounced around and other guys make tackles,'' Seattle coach Pete Carroll said.
''He had a great offseason, he reported in probably the best shape he's ever been in for us and it showed and he was very, very consistent. Really unfortunate injury.''
Williams will get the first nod at filling in for Mebane, although playing nose tackle has been a rarity in his career. He did it briefly last season in Minnesota due to injuries, but has not lined up over center much in his career.
''If you sign up for (defensive) line you're going to have to take on blocks every play,'' Williams said. ''They're just coming at a different angle now.''
Williams' snap count is down significantly from his previous seasons with Minnesota. Williams has been in on 42.9 percent of Seattle's defensive snaps this season, according to Football Outsiders.
Tony McDaniel, who will also see increased play with Mebane out, has been in on 39 percent. The Seahawks will also be helped by the return of Jordan Hill, who played last week after missing three games with an ankle injury.
Williams played 718 defensive snaps last season for the Vikings. No one on Seattle's defensive line last season - playoffs included - played more than 600 snaps.
''He's handled everything we've done fine. He hasn't needed any extra attention in practice, he has no ailments coming up from the past or any wear down factor,'' Carroll said.
''For this late in the season he's in as good a shape as he's ever been in. He's a really good, stout, tough football player. He will give us great play in there. It will be a little different style, makeup and size-wise, but he has great experience and he'll adapt to this really well.''
Seattle's defensive line depth has taken hits throughout the season. Mebane is the fifth defensive lineman to be placed on injured reserve. Seattle picked up Demarcus Dobbs last week off waivers to help with the depth and even fullback Will Tukuafu could be an option for a few snaps on the defensive line as he did previously in San Francisco.
''Kind of how we roll is everybody is versatile. If you watch us you know everybody plays a different spot. Nobody is in the same spot ever,'' Williams said. ''But you got to get your study in at each position and when your number is called you've got to be ready.''

Coming Soon: Alembical 3
Hey, look! It's the cover for Alembical 3!
Cover image Jakub Šram, cover design Lawrence Schoen
Groovy, no?
Alembical 3 is the latest in a series of anthologies from Paper Golem devoted exclusively to novellas. It contains my story "From Earth I Have Arisen," as well as work from Kam Oi Lee and John P. Murphy, and it's going to press as I type this.
Just in case, you know, you might want to add it to your wish list, or something.
Progress Report, in which I describe how I roll
So. Funny thing. I was hoping to have the rewrite of Apocalypse Pictures Presents done by now, but as regular readers of my progress reports know, that kinda hasn't happened yet. And I'm going to this writing retreat at the end of the month, at which the beginning of the novel will be critiqued.
Now, when submitting novel excerpts for critique, it behooves one to include a synopsis of the entire work. And I'm not done with the entire work yet. I still have another three or four chapters to go. But the deadline for the retreat was last week.
Which meant I had to cobble together a synopsis before I had finished the rewrite—an inversion of my process.
And if you are a regular reader of these progress reports, you know that I hate writing synopses. I don't know a single writer who enjoys them, but my hatred burns brighter than a thousand suns.
Nonetheless, I got it done. 'Cause that's how I roll, folks: slow, backward, and griping all the way. Impressive, isn't it?
Write Club updates:
Tier one bounce from Apex. Response time, 42 days.
Tier two bounce from Penumbra. Response time, 44 days.
Right. Time to get back on track.

I respond visually to experiences gathered: of being within the landscape and sea, of being part of the culture and history of a place, of my own memories or references to a place.
My physical connection is integral. I am not just looking but touching, feeling, breathing. I am hungry for experience, stories and people and I seek them out while also revelling in being alone in the land and in the sea. Where I can lose my self-consciousness.
Text is an invaluable tool to provide context as well as an integral part of the aesthetic image-making process. Here in my blog, the writing becomes a craft through which to build the image. As a traditional musician, an awareness of the connection between the folk music and stories of a place instills in me a reverence for each note as a direct link to past human interactions and experiences.

Abandoned veterans' land-grab nightmare
The scheme sounded good for the 240 disabled and retired army and police veterans and their families.
The government built homes for them and promised a plot nearby on which to plant crops and support themselves.
But five years later they are still without their land. Their hard lives have become even more difficult as they become embroiled in an ugly land-grab dispute.
More than 10 families from the original 240 have decided to sell their housing plots with the homes on them and move away. They simply could not survive in the area.
Another two families, who gave up waiting for land to be allocated to them for cultivation, sold their housing plots and decided to buy small plots on land allocated for the veterans.
This land was without a title and had not been released by the government but the families did not see any other option.
More than 120 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh is Techo Aphivat commune in Kampot province's Chhuk district, where many houses made of concrete and wood were built for veterans as part of a social land concession (SLC). Most of the veterans there have disabilities and are amputees.
The initial plan was to build the 240 homes on 30-by-40 meter plots. A further hectare was to have been allocated for each family to supplement their pensions by cultivating cash crops.
However, none of the land for cultivation has been allocated and the veterans are in despair because ironically, they have become victims of land grabbing.
While many families sold their housing plots and left the area in frustration and despair, two families decided to buy and occupy land which was grabbed by villagers on the SLC that was meant for the veterans.
They did this while waiting for their hectare of land.
Two ramshackle shelters, built of wood and galvanized steel sheets, sit on plots measuring 10 by 20 and 20 by 20 meters.
These plots were originally part of the SLC which has since been grabbed by enterprising and greedy villagers. There are no plantations or crops surrounding their new plots of land.
Moeun Doun Keo, 22, sits alone in his "new" house with his head shaved as a sign of respect for his mother, who died recently. His few possessions are a motorbike, a bed and some small items.
"My mother had cancer. If I had not sold the plot given to us by the government, how could I have had money for her treatment," Mr. Doun Keo said, adding that his father who was a retired soldier had also died many years ago.
In his house, which has no chairs or tables, he sits on his bed, saying he needs the cultivatable land which was to have been inherited from his father.
Mr. Doun Keo and his mother had lived on the housing plot for more than five years in the hope of getting the promised hectare. Now his mother and father have both died and he has yet to get any land he can live off.
A month ago when he sold the housing plot and the concrete house the government had given his family, the best price he could get was $4,000. He spent that money on treatment for his mother's cancer treatment.
Mr. Keo acknowledged that he grabbed the plot he was now living on and that it was on the SLC. A nearby plot of 1.5 hectares with a concrete house on it nearby recently sold for $120,000.
"I had no choice but to grab land because I did not have money to buy any land. I have nothing besides the money which remains from selling my family's plot of land," he said. "I feel very lonely."
He confirmed that he bought his plot of land from a man named Thy for about $600 and spent about $700 building his house. He was assured there would be no problems with his new plot.
Mr. Doun Keo earns some money by clearing land for other villagers or they hire him to harvest or plant crops. He can earn about 25,000 riel (about $6) per day.
Villagers say Mr. Thy, who is also known as Phin Thy, is a member of the commune council at Techo Aphivat. Villagers claim that he illegally sold many plots of land in that area.
Seoun Sareth, 37, is a member of another veteran's family. Her father-in-law was a policeman in the Interior Ministry, and she lives with her family near Mr. Doun Keo's house.
Ms. Sareth was sitting in a wooden chair under a makeshift shelter temporarily located on another landowner's plot while a new wooden house is being constructed for her family on a plot measuring 20 by 20 meters.
Ms. Sareth told Khmer Times that her 10-year-old daughter and her husband were sleeping in their temporary cottage, which has a battery for power, a solar-lamp and a few household items. One of her legs was badly swollen and covered with open ulcers.
Ms. Sareth tried to hold back her tears as she told Khmer Times that her father-in-law had died three months ago.
"We received an inheritance from my deceased father-in-law, comprising a wooden house on a land plot measuring 30-by-40 meters," she said.
"We decided to sell it due to my family's poor living conditions, which kept getting harder and harder because I have been suffering from various illnesses such as nephritic syndrome and ascites, while my husband is suffering from diabetes.
"We sold the inherited house for $5,000 just to pay for medical expenses and also to settle loans at micro-finance institutes. And now we bought new land on a plot measuring 20-by-20 meters at a cost of $1,000."
Ms. Sareth, who struggled to speak because of a respiratory disease, said, "We have been waiting for a resolution from the government that they promised to grant an additional one hectare of land to cultivate for each of the retired veterans. But until now we still have nothing to cultivate and make a living from.
"If we got this land to cultivate my family would have better living conditions."
Ms. Sareth's and Mr. Doun Keo's plots were bought from Mr. Thy and are on land meant for the veterans.
According to a representative of the veterans, more than 10 families have sold their housing plots and moved out and none can confirm whether the sale or the purchase is legal.
"With the buying or selling of every housing plot with a house built on it, the authority did not issue any letter for us. However we are the neighbors, we gave thumb prints as witnesses to recognize that they sold the land," said the representative, who did not wish to be named.
He added that they had no choice, so as a neighbor and representative, he and another four or five veterans provided thumb prints on the contract. The buyers were from Phnom Penh and other veterans.
Captain Mao Mardy, the commune police chief, said that neither local villagers nor veterans had any land title.
He added that Ms. Sareth's husband bought a new plot of land from Mr. Thy, who is a commune council member.
The plots bought by the two families had already been measured and were meant for the veterans, but it was grabbed by Mr. Thy's children.
Cap. Mardy confirmed that Mr. Thy had grabbed and sold many plots of land on the SLC. Provincial authorities told Khmer Times that they set some mechanisms in place to resolve the problem in order to allocate land for the veterans to cultivate.
Deputy provincial governor Sim Vuthea said the SLC project had not been completed and the granting of land was not fully completed.
"We have not finished, so if they sold it, they need to be responsible for it by themselves," he said, adding that the management and distribution of that SLC is handled by the Land Management Ministry.
"The buyers and sellers are illegal and the new buyers would not be added to the list to get land titles," he said.
"If those veterans have been qualified to get the land, the buyers would not get land titles. Furthermore, this SLC is not completed yet, so we required them to control their plot of land."

JV Boys' Soccer Acquires New Coach and Enters Season
As students return to their daily routines under the California sun, the JV boys' soccer team has continued onto their regular season. The boys currently have a record of 4-4-2.
The Moors practice daily from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. They begin practice with conditioning and fitness exercises, then they move onto passing and touch drills and eventually end with shooting.
This year, the JV team welcomed Coach Brian Hoist, who hopes to remain coaching for the next few years, because the Moors have not had a consistent coach over the past few seasons.
"I hope to stay here and coach to help this team grow. Even though they're not the best team out there, they never give up. They pressure their opponents during games. It is in their heart to win," Hoist said.

Simply Sincere Ceremonies for the Heart and Soul are for all occasions; weddings, births, changes or transitions of all kinds, and life's special moments.
Ceremonies and rituals
Ceremonies and rituals are ways in which we celebrate and make memorable those moments and events in life that have special meaning. They may be formal or informal, religious or non-religious in nature, and can be simple or complex.
Ceremonies celebrate pivotal moments such as weddings, births or deaths; or they may simply bring sacredness to a moment of daily life. Rituals comes in all sizes from mundane daily habits to the more sacred moments of meditation and rites of passage.
Workshops are also available to learn to create your own rituals and ceremonies. Visit Peaceways.us for workshops and more.
Schedule a free consult today.
Spiritual Care
Those interested in sacred ritual or spiritual awareness, often choose to explore spirituality in many ways, to develop a deeper connection to the divine. It is an understanding that not only the mind and body need to be cared for, but so does the Spirit. Spirituality also offers support through good times and not good times such as trauma, crisis, illness and more. Spiritual care, is support, offered in times of change, need for compassion, need for exploration in hope, fear, joy; or anytime a connection to something deeper is welcomed.
Spirituality and religion are related but not the same. One can be very spiritual without also being part of an established group following areligious doctrine. However most find that support of others within a group of similar beliefs can be supportive.
A spiritual care provider listens, allows space for deeper wisdom, time for grounding and centering into deeper exploration of one's own spiritual connection to self, other and the divine. The partnership is one between client and the Divine which is facilitated by the spiritual care provider. A spiritual care provider can offer resources, tools, and support through just listening and allowing a safe space to rest back into. Spiritual care can be beneficial in times of great growth as well as difficulties. At its core, it is a reminder that not only body and mind need care, but at the heart of it all, care for the Spirit within as well.
Rev. Carol L Wetherill is an Ordained Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister. All religious path are respected.

Standards & Technology
A Look Behind the Scenes
Creating and Implementing Database Standards
If users don't articulate what they need in database standards, they may find themselves with standards that don't solve their problems.
By Carl Cargill
The idea of standardization within the database arena is not new to the IT industry. All sorts of standardization activities have been focused on this arena, probably the best-known of which is the Structured Query Language (SQL) standard produced by the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X3 H2 (the database standardization committee of ASC X3). It has been estimated that the successful standardization of SQL was one of the reasons for the success of relational database management systems (RDBMSs) a decade ago. (The standard used was the Standard Query Language from IBM.) While not actually achieving much in the way of true interoperability, the SQL standard provided the market with the assurance that there would be a second source for any relational database. The success of the standard as an implementable piece of technology can be traced to the efforts of the SQL Access Group (SAG), which took the standard, cleaned it up and provided implementation details for companies that would use it.
The standardization effort played an important role in this process. It did not serve as a technical guide to open systems, standardizing the way the databases achieve interoperability. Although this was its original purpose, standardization rarely achieves such results. More often, the standard serves a business function rather than a technical one. In the case of relational databases, the function of the standard was to assure potential purchasers that there were other vendors who could provide a similar capability to the one being bought. This--not the standardized technology--helped move the market to relational databases. (This analysis, of course, ignores the technology and the market need for relational databases in the first place.)
However, I believe that if the standardization had not been in place, one of two things would have happened: either a single major vendor would be providing the technology now (in the manner of Microsoft) or there would be multiple smaller vendors, each with a unique system of doing something, resulting in a fragmented market for relational databases. Another possibility might have been that a different technology would have appeared, around which the majority of vendors would have coalesced. In any case, the success of the market would have depended upon the ability of the vendors and suppliers to work together to solve a business problem.
The proof of this concept will be, of course, whether the same tactic can be duplicated by the market. There is currently a move under way to standardize object-oriented databases. The leading activity in this area has been undertaken by the Object Database Management Group (ODMG), which created a standard for object-oriented databases in 1993. ODMG-93 was published for use and implementation by the industry, with commitments from seven object-oriented database vendors to implement the standard in 1995. The consortium is now beginning to work with other consortia (primarily the Object Management Group) and with X3 J16 (C++), and X3 H2 to ensure that the work on ODMG-93 is made available to a larger audience for study, review and implementation. The test of the theory will be if the market for the object DBMS expands and both users and providers begin to accept the activities of the ODMG. (For a further description of the activities of the ODMG, see Rick Cattell's account in "Experience with the ODMG Standard,"
, Sept. 1995, pp. 90-95. It is available from ACM at 800/342-6626.)
DRDA and The Open Group
At the same time as this work, there is a database interface protocol standardization effort occurring in The Open Group, that amalgam of the Open Software Foundation and X/Open Co. In 1995, in a move that surprised X/Open and many independent software vendors (ISVs), IBM announced that it was giving its proprietary distributed relational database architecture (DRDA) specification to X/Open for standardization. The activity kicked around for a while, because X/Open wasn't used to having its technical program driven by single-vendor press announcements. After a while, DRDA activity ended up in the Open Group marketing committee, where I chaired the DRDA task force.
The problem with DRDA was complicated. The RDA standardization effort in ISO and X3 had not been successful, and the earlier effort in X/Open had been largely abandoned. The market demand for these earlier standardization efforts never manifested itself in user demands--the market seemed to be coping with the problem of disparate database interface protocols. The task that faced X/Open was threefold. The first question was to determine if X/Open was the proper forum for this type of standardization; that is, a proprietary specification with a large installed base. The second question was whether or not the market needed a database interface protocol. The third question to be considered was whether DRDA was the right one.
The first answer was an easy yes; X/Open had, after all, accepted the Unix specification for standardization. On the next question, there was substantial disagreement on such topics as gateway, user demand and market size. As this was to be a marketing/business issue, the primary consideration was to be given for a marketing case. The real problem here was not so much the technology standardization--that is, the actual modification of the IBM DRDA specification to make it more open--as the issue of the need for the activity at all.
The major database vendors (Informix, Oracle and Sybase) pointed out that their customers were happy with the current situation. IBM and Starware pointed out that the gateway process was inefficient and costly. The retort was that the database vendors and the market have been seeking the "silver bullet" for interface standardization for years and never managed to find one. The discussion became heated, and ultimately the task force voted to reject the submission. The rationale for rejection was simple: There wasn't enough consensus on the proposal to succeed.
Whose Problems Get Solved?
Two real issues implicit in standardization surfaced in this discussion. The first lay with the nature of the question being solved. The solution provided by IBM was exactly that; a solution proposed before the users were asked if there was a problem or if the IBM answer was correct. The question that came to haunt the discussions was What is the problem? IBM and Starware posited the problem as one that DRDA could solve; the other vendors posited the problem as one that was being solved by gateways. Neither side looked at the issue of user needs; one was going to change the market because they had the answer, and the other was content to let the market react and let the users pay a price in inefficiency. The real question that should have been answered was What is the problem that the users want solved, and how would my solution help them be more (or less) ________ (enter any one of many user requirements here)?
The second issue derived from the fact that there was no consensus possible in this case. The two sides started from installed-base positions; IBM with its proprietary DRDA base and Informix, Oracle and Sybase with their own solutions. Essentially, IBM put the DRDA issue into X/Open and hoped that the organization would bless it; the ISVs objected, and a "standards war" almost began. Consensus--while not necessarily indicating unanimity--indicates that a majority of the market accepts the standard and will not fight against it. This wasn't the case.
Database interface protocol efforts seem to have ground to a halt within most standardization organizations. The problem is that users have not clearly elucidated their needs in a way that providers can hear. While this may be changing, it still remains a major problem for all standardization groups. What users should do--especially those in UniForum, who are, after all, most concerned with open systems--is to state functional requirements collectively and clearly. Part of the response depends on how much you're willing to pay and when you want it, as well as whether you want a "silver bullet" or would be content with a solution that, like SQL, is "good enough." The important thing to remember is that users validate standardization and ultimately cause it to happen or not. By not participating, users give away their ability to structure the future direction of the market to either the government or the providers.

Bush Kindy Transition to School Environmental Education
Our Bush Kindy program is currently being run three days per week. This style of program (known as Nature or Forest Kindergartens in other parts of the world) has been in practice for around 50 years, primarily in Scandinavian countries. There are very few child care providers providing this service within Australia but the Bright Start team sees enormous benefits, in regards to children's learning, decision making, creativity, self expression, collaboration and resilience that can only be developed through this style of program
Each day 10 children and accompanying staff set out on their adventure, walking the short distance from the Preschool to the local bushland. The children then spend several hours exploring, playing imaginative games, building structures, drawing, climbing and reflecting. Rain or shine, the children are engaged in the natural environment and reaping the rewards of spending time in the great outdoors.
Bush Kindy makes a natural connection between our educational philosophy at Bright Start Preschool and the promotion of sustainability at our centre. It will enable the children to connect, through play with the space and their land in a way that cannot be done under a roof or within walls. Teachers will support children as they take risks and face challenges essential to well rounded learning. Our centre is well known for our sustainability initiatives and our engaging outdoor play area, we see this program as a natural extension of this.
We believe that 'school readiness' is a process that begins as soon as children start at Bright Start Preschool, regardless of their age or what room they are in. It is the process of learning to identify and look after your own belongings, being confidant in relating to your peers and asking for help from teachers and separating easily from your parents at the beginning of the day. Of course it also includes those vital pre literacy and numeracy skills which are incorporated into our program here at Bright Start Preschool.
We are strong advocates for environmental education in early childhood settings (and in fact for life). Sustainability features throughout our programs and practices and is incorporated into everything that we do, from our recycling program to our worm farm and vege patch all the way to our purchasing procedures. We see true value in encouraging a love of the environment and a knowledge of how to live a more sustainable lifestyle for our staff, children and families.

For many college is a new experience; one that new students are often less than prepared for. Along with an extreme increase in the amount of work, there is also stress, expectations, and much more to juggle upon arriving at the grounds.
To make matters more difficult for the average student, we are, for the most part, going on our own in these endeavors to succeed; we plan to take classes that we need to graduate and hope that the class, along with the professor, will not be overly strict or complicated with their respective courses. While the classes may be tough, having good relationships with professors can create better situations and make classes much more manageable.
The notion of student/teacher relationships on college campuses can both benefit and hinder a student's success in their classes. While some professors take the time to create student specific bonds with their students, other professors simply do not have the time nor the resources to reach out to each individual student.
For those professors that allow for a more personalized relationship, the reaped benefits are vast.
Personally, I have found myself in both circumstances. I have recognized the difference that having a more personalized relationship with a professor can have on the overall experience of the class. For one without the ageism barrier that can come with dynamics such as these, I have found that these relationships can alter the results of grades and make classes more enjoyable.
In my three years at UNC Greensboro, I have had an array of professors. While that is the case, I am able to look back and differentiate between those that took the time to get to know their students' names and personalities and those who were simply filling a teaching schedule.
Despite this, though, I have an entirely different narrative since I reside in the Mary Foust residential college. Due to my location, I see my professors on a more equal level as they regard my fellow classmates and I as knowledgeable just as they are.
Because I am able to take classes specifically created for my residence hall, which offers small class sizes, thus allowing more one-on-one time with professors, I have the advantage that most incoming students do not: I am seen as almost an equal to professors.
Most of the classes I take in Foust are mixes between seminar and non-seminar classes. In both settings I am given the freedom to speak freely among my peers, as an active discussion member. Our professors lead the discussions, but ultimately we are meant to take the reins and lead the discussions as we see fit to match the subject.
Along with better classroom environments, the personal relationships that I have with my professors at Foust allow me to feel open to ask more questions and not feel embarrassed for asking something that may be more on the obvious side.
One such professor that reached out to me was Dr. Dodson. Despite being a usually stoic professor, he occasionally broke that to speak with us as individuals. If ever there was a time when we misunderstood one of the readings or assignments, he was often happy to re-explain until it was comprehended.
On the other hand, there obviously are professors who do not wish or are unable to reach out to their students.
In some instances, professors are physically unable to reach out to each and every student. In a classroom of one hundred and fifty to two hundred students, for instance, unless a student actively engages with the professor he or she may not build the individual relationship that they might need to pass the class.
That said, the professors of these classes usually teach non-seminar classes where the information is on a projector and the students must copy the notes. Coupled with this circumstance is the extreme formality created to separate and make a distinguished difference between the professor and their students.
There are also a group of professors that actively choose not to engage with their students. For the students, this circumstance hinders the student's ability to feel as though they can speak with the professors on equal grounds.
Grades are then much harder to manage as students must rely on one another or themselves to succeed in the class. This also makes the material less effective and less likely to remain in the brain because the students might simply cram for a test and then forget the information later on.
While the more traditional dynamics separating student and professor allows the students to understand the hierarchy between those who learn and those who teach, students may feel as though they cannot approach their professors to ask rudimentary questions.
Should more relations be created on a more personalized level, the grades and self-esteem of these incoming students would be much higher, thus making the leap from high school to college that much easier.

Today I'd like to start a new series of short devotional notes looking at the life and times of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. The two prophets have much to teach us and much that applies to all our lives. It is my hope and prayer that these short notes , part expositional, part devotional will not only whet an appetite in us all to read these scriptures, but also to follow and live for God as they did.
Day One 1 Kings 17 : 1 ff 'My God is the Lord'
Elijah the prophet is one of the most fascinating figures in the Bible let alone the Old Testament. At a time of general disobedience and turning away from God Elijah seems to appear out of nowhere, to proclaim the word of the Lord to a king and a nation.
Of all the Old testament Prophets, Elijah seems to be the one most held in awe by the people of Israel and rightly so . He is mentioned 29 times in the New Testament alone. John the Baptist is likened to Elijah ( John 1:21) , Elijah with Moses is seen with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration ( Matt 17:3) , the crowd thought that Elijah would come and save Jesus from the Cross ( Matt 27:47-49) . James describes Elijah as a person with a nature just like ours ( James 5:17) , and thus subject to all that we are subject to too. But the first thing to notice about Elijah was his name. The name Elijah means ' My God is the Lord' .
The name Elijah means ' My God is the Lord' .
What does this tell us ? Well it tells us more about his parents than anything. It shows that in a day when a succession of evil kings had ruled and ruined Israel, and the worship of God was forgotten about and the name of God trampled underfoot, a brave couple had called their little baby boy Eli Jah ' My God is the Lord ' . In taking this step they were bravely witnessing for God, by not going with the flow of national apostasy . As in so many cases in the Bible as indeed in human history, a work of God begins with a little baby being born . Think of Isaac, of Joseph, of Samuel, John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus Himself. Often a little child being born heralds the beginning of a great work.
This little boy called Elijah was to grow into a mighty man of God whose name would strike fear into the enemies of Jehovah , and give a reminder to king and nation that there is a God in Israel.
The work of God sometimes has small and imperceptible beginnings, but isn't it comforting to know that the God who became one of us, in Jesus , continues to use frail, sinful , inadequate people in His sovereign will.

Well.. here it is our self made ice-tea recipe.... (Americans might know this recipe very well but our German friends probably only know this tea from Mexican restaurants like Hacienda or Enchilada or some chain like that)
3 bags of black tea (Earl Grey works best for us!)
Lemons or lemon juice
(Lemons might be too expensive sometimes so the juice works also very well!)
Boil some water and let it sit for about double the time which is mentioned on the product - instead of 3 minutes just let it sit in the boiled water for 6 minutes (3 tea bags is good for about 2,5 liters of water - or tea...)
After the tea cools down outside of the fridge, pour it into your glass full of ice or store the big pitcher in your fridge... we had a very hard time to find decent ice trays in Germany... what you see here is a mix of ice cube makers from Ikea and some one euro store. Anyone any ideas how to make cheap and fast ice - without wasting plastic ice cube bags?!
In America it is common to mix the lemon and sugar in when it is still warm (this way the sugar dissolves instead of just collecting on the bottom. Since we have a lot of guests, we do not put anything in and then they can flavor it themselves.
Enjoy! (If you are a sweet one... put some sugar in the tea... - but give it a try without first!)

Secularism and Individualism
By Promoting trade and the arts guilds help them become as popular as religion. In some cities, such as Venice and Genoa, merchant guilds governed the town, promoting and protecting trade. In cities governed by guilds no other guilds were needed for trade. Through guilds merchants became very wealthy showing individualism. Guilds governing towns would use the Doge to collect the products that guilds produced. Wealthy merchants attained their money from raising needs for products. In the 1200s business was blooming and merchants helped provide for difficult times. Some guilds became monopolies.

Inner Circle - Bad Boys
Inner Circle, also known as The Inner Circle Band or The Bad Boys of Reggae, are a Jamaican reggae band formed in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1968.
Inner Circle was formed in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1968, by the brothers Ian Lewis and Roger Lewis with then 12-year-old Stephen "Cat" Coore and Michael Cooper.[1] They appeared on record in 1970, backing The Chosen Few on the Derrick Harriott-produced single "Why Can't I Touch You", with the Inner Circle Band credited with the instrumental version on the B-side; This was one of several singles on which they backed the Chosen Few.[1] In 1970 the band was expanded when they were joined by drummer William Stewart, percussionist Irvin "Carrot" Jarrett, and singer William "Bunny Rugs" Clarke.[1] The band played on Eric Donaldson's hit single "Cherry Oh Baby" and recorded their own version as "Red Cherry".[1]
Jarrett left the band in 1972, with singer Clarke leaving the following year when he moved to New York.[1] Clarke's replacement was Milton "Prilly" Hamilton, but this line-up was short-lived as the band split in two with Coore, Cooper, and Hamilton leaving to form Third World in 1973.[1] Coore and Cooper were then students of the University of the West Indies, studying for various degrees[] and were soon joined in Third World by fellow Inner Circle departees Clarke and Jarrett. Meanwhile, Inner Circle re-tooled the lineup by recruiting keyboard players Charles Farquharson and Bernard Harvey (aka "Touter"), as well as drummer Calvin McKenzie as a replacement for Stewart (who would also go on to play with Third World).[1] The band played the hotel and club circuit in Kingston, playing a mixture of reggae, pop and soul hits, and released their first album, Dread Reggae Hits, in 1973 on Ian Lewis's Top Ranking label.[1][2]
After recording with singer Funky Brown, they recruited Jacob Miller as a permanent vocalist (although he continued to record as a solo artist), and had a hit single with a version of The Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New".[1] Some of Miller's work with the band was credited to Miller alone, including the "Tenement Yard" single.[1] The band were signed by Capitol Records, who issued the albums Reggae Thing (1976) and Ready for the World (1977).[1] They toured the United States with American guitarist, Ed Elizalde. In 1978 they moved on to Island Records who released the Everything Is Great album in 1978, which included the UK hit singles "Everything Is Great" and "Stop Breaking My Heart", and New Age Music the following year.[1][3] The band was joined by New York session guitarist Joe Ortiz, dubbed 'Gitzy' by the band; who added the first touches of hard rock, jazz, and blues to the group and to Reggae in general.[] Ortiz recorded at Compass Point Studios for the Everything Is Great album on Island Records, and later joined the group for their European tour in 1978-1980. He was also lead guitarist on the title track 'New Age Music' on the album of the same name. Lester Adderley joined the group for the New Age Music album on guitar.[] Also released in the late 1970s were two dub albums based on Miller's solo albums Killer Miller and Wanted but credited to Inner Circle.[1] The band gained further exposure via their performance in the film Rockers, playing a hotel house band.[1] At his peak in the 1970s, only Bob Marley was more popular in Jamaica than Miller, and as a live act nobody equaled their popularity.[4]
Miller's death in a car crash on 23 March 1980 led the band to split up, with the Lewis Brothers and Touter Harvey moving to Miami, where they opened a studio in a warehouse, later opening their own Circle House recording studio, and the band has been based in Miami since then. After Miller's death in 1980, the band had one more American tour, inviting Norman Grant from the Twinkle Brothers for vocals.[5]
In 1981, with Bay Area lead guitarist, Mark Castro, they recorded the album Something So Good. Due to the loss of Jacob Miller, the members asked Mark Castro to help them find a new vocalist. Mark brought Rick Hunt to the band. "Something So Good" includes the memorable signature lead guitar solos that only Mark Castro can produce, especially When a Man Loves a Woman and World 2000."Something So Good" was released in 1982. They reformed in 1986 with the Lewis Brothers and Harvey joined by singer Calton Coffie and drummer Lancelot Hall, and this line-up released the Black Roses album (released in 1986 on RAS Records).[1] The band's next album, One Way in 1987, included one of their biggest hits, "Bad Boys", which was re-recorded for their 1989 album Identified and became the theme music for the Fox TV series Cops that year.[1][6] California guitarist Dave Gonzales, by Mark Castro's recommendation, joined the band for a tour in 1989.[] "Bad Boys" was reissued as a single in 1991 and charted in several countries in Europe, but it was its 1993 re-release in the United States that achieved the greatest success.[6] The 1992 album Bad to the Bone was picked up by Atlantic Records and reissued as Bad Boys in 1993 to capitalize on the success of the single.[1] It sold more than half a million copies in the United States and more than four million worldwide.[7] The band received a Grammy Award in 1993 for 'Best Reggae Album by Duo or Group' for Bad Boys and the album also spawned the international hit single "Sweat (A La La La La Long)", which was a #3 hit in the UK Singles Chart and topped the chart in 10 countries, selling over a million copies in Europe, while "Bad Boys" peaked at #52.[3][8] It was their second (and last) American hit, reaching #16 on the Billboard Hot 100.[9] "Bad Boys" was used in the 1995 film of the same name starring Will Smith and its sequel Bad Boys 2, and a ringtone based on the song was on the Billboard Hot Ringtones Chart for over 110 weeks.[6][10] They received a second Grammy nomination in 1994 for the album Reggae Dancer, which included a cover of Joe South's "Games People Play" which was released as a single.[11][12]
Coffie left in the mid-1990s to pursue a solo career, and they were joined in 1994 by Kris Bentley who made his album debut on Da Bomb (1997), released on the band's own Soundbwoy Entertainment label.[1][13] In 1999 they released the album Jamaika Me Crazy on their own Eureka label.[14] The 2000 album Big Tings featured guest appearances from Mr Vegas, Beenie Man, Luciano, Anthony B, and Glen Washington.[15] In 2008, Jr. Jazz took over as lead vocalist.[16]
As well as running the Circle Sound studio, the band members also run the Circle Sound production company.[13]
The band's 2009 album State of Da World featured contributions from an array of reggae stars including Luciano, Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, Junior Reid, Mutabaruka, Bushman, David Hinds of Steel Pulse, and members of Slightly Stoopid.[16][17]
In 2012, the band launched the 'Saving The Reggae Music' campaign with the aim of promoting traditional reggae music over the increasingly US-influenced music coming out of Jamaica.[18]
The band's 2012 album Dubets featured collaborations with Peetah Morgan, Ken Boothe, Marcia Griffiths, Glen Washington, Ali Campbell of UB40, Gramps Morgan, A.J. Brown, and Marty Dread.[19] The group went on to record with several younger singers and deejays, including Damian Marley, I-Octane, Khago, and Chronixx, with whom they recorded an updated version of "Tenement Yard".[20]

"St. George. A fairy tale, like from children's books. A dragon is waiting for the princess, and St. George rescues her. The parents lock the princess in a hideout and put a guard there. The horse is the most scared of all. It's shaking. Just as people's hair stands on end, the frightened horse's tail stands up."

However, use of the term "big data" has expanded, especially in the past decade, as mobile devices and applications and various Internet-connected assets have generated continuous streams of data in corporate networks.

There's a window of opportunity within that wall that consists of business process management, adaptive case management, process aware information systems [inaudible 00:39:54]. Healthcare process management, care process management, which is sort of a re-branding, you see. Because, well maybe the doctors don't want to hear the word business. Which isn't necessarily true.

During the incredibly hot (but wonderful) days we get in Mexico at this time of year, every right minded Mexican and extranjero alike loves to escape the city and head to the beach or alberca (pool). Like yesterday, today was equally too hot to handle and since I didn't have to work we decided to embark on our own escape mission to the albercas. Thanks to the lack of public pools in Xalapa and the beach being about and hour and a half away, our mission took us to the popular Pocitos de la Cumbre, some outdoor swimming pools about 20 minutes out of the city.
I have to admit that I love this place. It is cool, colourful, friendly and tropical. A well-known gem among locals and a hidden one among foreigners. On a sunny Saturday or Sunday this place is full of Mexican families who come to enjoy the sun, share grilled chicken (chicken culture is another story), sip on a cold chela (nickname for beer in Mexico) and watch the kids play with innumerable inflatable pool toys.
This is probably one of my favourite places to escape to around Xalapa – not surprising considering that I love sun and heat and everything that goes with it – it has a great atmosphere, is beautiful and I always feel relaxed and rejuvenated after a visit, however short it may be. All I can say is; I love pool culture.

Katie and Wes were married at Oak Creek Commons in Paso Robles. Katie really wanted the floral arrangements to have a natural, organic feel to them. She provided some succulents that she had chosen especially for us to arrange in her bouquet. We also added crespedia and dahlias with seeded eucalyptus and dusty miller.
The boutonnieres also had a unique finish to them with the moss stem wrapping.
Katie's bouquet stems were wrapped with a specialty ribbon and abalone shell buttons.
Thank you Katie and Wes for including us in your Special Day!

Muskingum County Recreation Center Board Authorizes Restructuring
Staff on 07/26/2018
Ohio University will assume financial leadership over MRC;
board constitution, MRC operations, staff, and pricing will remain unchanged
Zanesville, OH – At its meeting on Wednesday, July 26 the Muskingum Recreation Center (MRC) Board authorized a restructuring plan that will allow Ohio University to take a strong leadership role to ensure future financial stability.
Current financial projections of the MRC indicate certain University debt guarantees may be triggered if the University doesn't help subsidize the MRC through debt restructuring expected in February 2020.
Located on the Ohio University Zanesville/Zane State Campus, MRC was originally established as a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation with four members: Ohio University, Genesis Healthcare System, the Muskingum County Community Foundation (MCCF), and the Muskingum Family YMCA. These members will continue to hold seats on the MRC Board. All four partners will retain a place on the board and are committed to making the MRC a community driven Health and Wellness facility to benefit all resident of Muskingum county.
"The Muskingum Recreation Center facility provides significant opportunity for integrated programming, outreach, and research in the Zanesville community," said MRC Board member and Ohio University Vice President for Finance and Administration Deb Shaffer. "This agreement will enable the Board to execute against its vision in the areas of rural and community health and community engagement."
MRC was initially created in June 2009 to provide a facility in Zanesville to promote health, education, and recreation for the community. Ohio University, Zane State, and Genesis Healthcare each pay a corporate membership for their students and staff to utilize the facility as its wellness and recreation facility. The MRC also serves as the official facility for several Ohio University Zanesville athletic teams.
At the conclusion of the restructuring, MRC will be recognized as an Ohio University affiliated entity.
With this Board level restructuring, there will be no changes in the day to day operations, staff, current programs or membership fees at the MRC at this time.

Paul Langford
Doctor and Professor in archaeology. Langford was present in Giza, Egypt with his daughter Catherine when the Stargate was unearthed from the plateau in 1928. Totally unaware of what the device was, he spent the next several years trying to solve the mysteries behind the ring.
Langford eventually managed to open the doorway in the Stargate and allow Dr. Ernest Littlefield to travel through the puddle to the other side. When the Stargate shut down, it was believed Littlefield was lost, and he never tried to open the gate again, telling Catherine her fiancée-to-be had been killed in a lab explosion.
PLAYED BY - Erik Holland, Duncan Fraser, Connor Trinneer
FIRST APPEARED - "Stargate" the Movie
"Stargate" the Movie - Dr. Littlefield observes the recently unearthed Stargate, and is completely blown away as to the origins or purpose of the device.
The Torment of Tantalus - Dr. Langford manages to successfully open the Stargate, and sends Dr. Littlefield to, what he would later believe to be, his death.

Nevada Veterans Reflect on Vietnam and Korea
While most of the veterans who went on Nevada's first Honor Flight were from the World War II era, they spent time reflecting on the wars in Korea and Vietnam as well.
The Vietnam War Memorial Wall has 58,195 names engraved into it. And every one of them has a story behind it. Beatrice Thayer, who served in the Army Air Corps, and her brother William Coffey, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, are both from the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. So was John Aleck.
"There it is," Thayer said when she found it on the panel. "He was the son of a good friend of ours at the colony. She was a lady who also served. She died about two years ago herself."
Thayer went on to say that John Aleck died at the age of 20 in Vietnam in 1969.
The Korean War Memorial is made up of sculptures of soldiers making their way through a field of vegetation. It is realistic and - haunting.
"It's eerie," said Paul Weller who served in the Marine Corps in 1950 and 1951. "It brings back so many memories. I can hear the machine guns and see the flashes. You never forget that . Even after the flashes are over you see them all coming toward you. It sticks with you forever."
Thousands of tourists from all over the world stream through the memorials in Washington every day to pay their respects. This was a chance for Nevada's Veterans to be thanked and strangers stopped everywhere we went to thank them in person.
"Do you see all the people here for you?" said John Yuspa who organized Honor Flight in Nevada.
"It shows you...that freedom isn't free," said Weller. "Freedom is never free."
Honor Flight takes the veterans free of charge. That program is run by volunteers. You can volunteer, donate and apply at www.honorflightnv.org
