Heartland of the interior
Lefkada – Odigitria – Sfakiotes – Pigadisanoi – Karya – Aghios Donatos – Englouvi - Monastery Asomaton – Vafkeri – Nydri – Lefkada
From Lefkada town as starting point once again, we head towards Sfakiotes. On the way, the surrounding hills are blanketed in rich vegetation: olive trees, cypress, broom, lentisk, sage and even wild vines (remnants of the extensive viniculture of the past). As we proceed, the panorama becomes truly amazing: a sweeping vista of Gulf Alexandros, Mt. Xiromerou, the towns of Astakos and Mytikas and Meganissi, Kalamos and Kastos Islands. On the right hand side is the site of Boza, where in 1819 there was a clash between the rebelling peasants of Lefkada, indignant at the imposition of extortionate taxation, and the British occupying forces. Following the asphalt road, it is strung with the houses of one scenic village after another , built close to one another on the hills, constituting the municipality of Sfakiotes: Spanohori, Lazarata, Kavalos, Asproyerakata and Pinakochori.
Spanochori is the first village to be seen on the hillside to our right. On the left, Episkopi was until 1697 the seat of the bishops, and until 1513 of the archbishops of Lefkada whom the Venetians had displaced from the town in their effort to convert the locals to Catholicism.
Continuing along the asphalt road we reach the triple crossroads, which the locals call Barakes. It has since older times been the most frequented place in the area, nowadays re-designed as a square with plane trees, grill-houses and cafés. We are now in Lazarata, and passing through see the village of Kavalos on a hill to the right.
The signpost indicating that you are entering Asprogerakata stands in the square, a spot the locals call 'Frya' , the name deriving from the word for well - frear - for the great well which has been there for centuries and until a few years ago supplied the villages of the municipality with water. Like Barakes, the square with its cafés and its grill-houses is another meeting point for the inhabitants of Sfakiotes. The Ascension Day (tis Analipseos) village celebration is held here in this square. Up until the 30s, at the crossroads we come across a little further on, there were traces of the last Anathema (curse) in Lefkada to be laid on a place. Stones stacked one next to the other and one on top of the other by the peasants were a reminder of a murder committed there. At that crossroads, we take the left hand to Karya; the other direction leads to western Lefkada.Pinakochori, the last of the Sfakiotes villages is perched on the hill to the left; the level plain (kampos) of Karya (a fertile plateau) is spread before us. The road crosses Pigadissani (the locals pronounce it 'Spiatsani') a village of stone-built houses which in the past produced good builders, and will soon bring us to Karya, built in a crescent on the slope. It is the largest and one of the oldest villages on the island.
Karya is prosperous, with an excellent climate, well-maintained streets, fine houses, cafés, shops and a splendid central square shaded by huge age-old plane trees. The sight from here is to the plateau that the inhabitants' hard work over the centuries has made fertile meadowland. Its produce (mainly pulses) is renowned for its quality.
The two gems of churches are the pride of the village: the church of Aghios Spyridon, in the central square, with its graceful belfry, built in the late 19th c, has notable iconography, and the church of Aghia Paraskevi, situated in the upper part of the village, built at the beginning of the 19th century, with an exceptional Baroque wood-carved iconostasis, the work of the renowned painter Prosalentis. To be in the village on 11 August is a fortunate coincidence as this is the day on which the church of Aghios Spyridon celebrates, the village's annual festivity (the panegyri).
This is when with every solemnity the tradition of the Lefkaditikos gamos (the Lefkada wedding) is revived with great pride and attention to fidelity, an event taking place here for decades, reproducing the ceremony of marriage of the past, absolutely true to life as it was.The village is known throughout Greece and countries abroad for its woven fabrics with their pleasing motifs, and especially for its 'Karsaniko embroidery', in the unique 'Karsaniko stitch'. The monastery of Aghios Ioannis tou Prodromou stands on a slope of the plateau, surrounded by greenery and in a particularly beautiful landscape, also known as Ai Yannis sto Livadi. It was founded in 1605 and flourished in the early 19th century, when it was the wealthiest of the island with the most monks. It has notable mid-18 century frescoes, some by Tommaso Zen. It is closed nowadays, but its situation is in such a beautiful and peaceful environment, into which it blends so successfully that it truly rewards those visiting it. The 1821 freedom-fighter Simos Bouas-Grivas is buried in the church. To continue our route, we return to the entrance of the village and follow the signposts to the right leading to the airbase. We pass the Museum of Maria Stavraka or Koutsoheros, famous for her embroidery, an artist of the Karsaniko technique. The road up to the airbase is not in good condition, without however being hazardous for us or the car . The panorama unfolds on the right of Lygia Bay, Akarnania, Lefkada town and Preveza, with the Epirus mountains in the background.
Not far from the crossroads, radar installations can be seen on the slope to the right: this is now a military zone. The camp is in a plateau overlooked by radars and - the now disused - dishes behind. If we are in luck we might glimpse the odd hare or fox scampering along. A small sign to the right points up a dirt road to the white-washed chapel of Ai Lias which, at a height of 1,012 metres, keeps watch over the surrounding area. The scenery from there is well worth enjoying. Continuing to the right, after a short distance we come to the beguiling chapel of Aghios Donatos on Englouvi's plateau, with wells in front of it and stone-built huts around it called voltos, built with exceptional craftsmanship and where until a few years ago farmers and shepherds could shelter. The remains of a substantial pre-Roman tower stand on the plateau, from which, according to tradition, Bishop Donatos was flung to his death in one of the persecutions of Christians. There are vineyards around, but even more abundant are the famous Englouvi lentil fields whose produce has been awarded prizes in many agricultural exhibitions. The celebration of the saint's day of Aghios Donatos, on 7 August coincides with the lentil harvest, which is also celebrated. The housewives of the area cook them on the spot, out of doors on the plateau, in the traditional way, in huge cauldrons, and serve them, accompanied by olives and salt sardines, to the throngs of guests.
To continue towards the Asomatou monastery (see alternative route below), turn left and follow the road sign to Englouvi.
The road snakes uphill, with glimpses of the village from above; it is particularly appealing with its red-roofed farmhouses framed by greenery. It is one of the oldest of the island's villages at high altitude. The few elderly inhabitants who live there year round are farmers, mainly cultivating vines and the lentils of which Englouvi is the 'capital'. The hills around are carefully terraced, with supporting stone walling built by the inhabitants in an effort to utilise every inch of soil. Once in the village, turn left, past the church of Ai Giorgis, leaving Englouvi behind, and head towards the monastery of Asomatou. The road winds through the abundant wild plant-cover. Rarely will another car be encountered, the road is all ours and we can give our attention to the surrounding nature. Some few kilometres further on look out for an ancient ivy-cloaked stone wall to the right: this fences in the monastery's handsome building. You should not miss seeing this, one of the island's best, dedicated to Asomatos (the archangel) Michael.The dirt road descending to the village of Vafkeri reveals its leafiness and flowing waters, here a variety of trees and bushes flourish: plane, almond and olive trees, fruit orchards, oaks and holm-oaks surround the dwellings of the few permanent inhabitants and the peace and quiet is so enjoyable amid the beauty of the landscape, and in summer especially, the coolness. If you find yourself in Vafkeri as evening falls and some well grilled meat would be welcome, then a stop at the village taverna is indicated. From Vafkeri the road goes down to Nydri, winding along with a view over Vlychos Bay. It makes an idyllic route, particularly at sunrise with spectacular displays of colours, also on moonlit nights when the bay is a glitter.

Conversation with a Teenager
I knew this day was coming. I just knew it. And yet here I sit, totally unprepared. In shock, if you will.
"Mom, how old was Dad when he started dating?"
Oh no. Please don't ask me one of THOSE questions. One of THOSE questions that really do belong to Dad. Nearly 10 years after his death, THOSE questions can still be difficult.
"I have no idea, Jona – I met your Dad in college"
"Well, how old were you when you started dating?"
Silence. Not sure I want to answer this. Wait! I know! I'll try this:
"And why do you want to know?"
Uh-oh. Silence in return. Hmmm. Badly played. But then:
"I want to ask Kelsey to the Homecoming Dance"
Wow. I can hear my heart pounding in my ears. Loudly.
"Yes, Jona?"
"Did you hear me?"
"Yes Jona"
Really? I am gripped by panic. There's no way we can afford the Homecoming Dance. But I hear myself saying:
"I'm sure we can figure something out"
Silence. And then:
"I love you Mom"
"I love you too Jona"
Still sitting here. In shock. In silence.
Still not old enough to have a teenager.
Certainly not one who dates.

The Voice Of God?
There seemed to be a bit of a commotion in the city centre today as I walked towards the Old Market Square, as I heard a very loud voice shouting, but couldn't quite make out what was being said.
As I got closer, I could make out a small crowd gathered close to the Sweeper sculpture, that I posted last week. I then noticed a couple of banners and a man with a microphone. A Bible basher as I call these sorts of religious fanatics. He was American too, and they are often the worst, as they take things out of the Bible so literally, and often have some dangerous ideas about personal issues like being gay.
I have no problem with people being religious, I just don't think they should force it upon others, and this man was particularly loud. So much so, that I wondered whether the police would ask him to stop, as he was disturbing the peace.

Kitchen Interior Design
The kitchen in this 50's ranch was dated and small and the homeowners wanted a larger space with updated amenities where they could cook, eat, entertain and work, when necessary.
"My husband and I worked with a contractor on the expansion and remodeling of our kitchen. We contracted Jody to assist us with all of the finishes and final details - the cabinet layout and finishes, the lighting plan and fixture selections, countertop and backsplash materials, window coverings and paint colors. Once the work was completed, she came in and combined my beloved, but (to my thinking) disparate collections of Delft and Quimper in the display cabinets and throughout the space. She made the process easy and fun, with quick turn arounds, while being ever conscious of our budget. With Jody's help, our kitchen truly is our favorite room in our home!" S. Wright, Dallas, TX

On Friday 27 April, Theresa visited Berkshire College of Agriculture to meet with staff and student apprentices and to open the college's new energy centre.
The new centre has installed a training bio mass boiler, understood to be the first of its kind in a Further Education college in the UK, which will be used to turn woodchip into renewable energy.
Officially opening the centre, Theresa said:
"I was very pleased to go back to Berkshire College of Agriculture to hear of the innovative work the college is doing and to open the new energy centre. It is vital that young people have the education and skills to take on the jobs needed for the future.
I was pleased to be able to meet with students who, through using the new energy centre, will be given the training and opportunity to make a real difference to help protect our planet for future generations."

Look of Love, The (AF)
Stars: Steve Coogan, Imogen Poots, Tamsin Egerton, Anna Friel, Chris Addison, James Lance, Matthew Beard, Simon Bird, David Walliams, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas, Shirley Henderson
Director: Michael Winterbottom
My name is Paul Raymond. Welcome to my world of erotica.
Director Michael Winterbottom vividly recreates the Soho of the Sixties and Seventies when Raymond rose to fame, and fortune as the King of Soho by buying property and, more famously, by selling sex on stage at his notorious Raymond's Revue Bar and in adult magazines, notably 'Men Only'.
Unfortunately, period recreation is the best thing about this increasingly tedious biopic, which, for me, was wrecked from the start by the deeply inadequate performance of Steve Coogan in the title role. He seems to believe that all there is to acting well is to adopt a series of wigs and false moustaches and then reuse his Alan Partridge characterisation instead of coming up with something interesting. (That his fatally unbelievable characterization is being hailed in some quarters as masterly acting may well becomes one of the cinemas great mysteries and spawn deeply pretentious writing).
Matt Greenhalghs screenplay, like Raymond himself, concentrates on moral and sexual titillation - we see Raymond in bed with two women, enough female nudity to satisfy the films producers, Film Four, and avalanches of cocaine being sniffed by practically the entire cast, especially Imogen Poots as Raymonds wannabe performer and drug addicted daughter Deborah, whose death at the age of 36 from an overdose reportedly caused Raymond to become a recluse. Poots is rather better than her material, as are Anna Friel as his wife and Tamsin Egerton as his lover who rose to fame of a sort, as actress Fiona Richmond.
I was mildly amused by the occasional line. I know all the Beatles, boasts Raymond, Very friendly with them adding (and this was the only eye-opener in the film for me) that Ringo had designed his apartment.
Given the vacuum at the centre that is Coogan, Winterbottom gets through the film (adding one more bottom to the frequent female gluteals on display?) without making it anything else but dull.
That said, he deserves high praise for devoting almost no screen time to Stephen Fry (playing a smug QC), David Walliams as a trendy Soho vicar and Matt Lucas in drag. That is the work of a true artist.
Winterbottom has worked with Coogan several times before The Look of Love. Lets hope this is their last collaboration.

Nowadays onions are grown all over Japan and are available all over the year. As for the taste, there is the spicy onion, and the fresh onion, which is sweeter and is available during March and April.
Juicy and fresh onion, with a heavy weight is always preferred.
Onions are sweet, thus owning high calories comparing with cabbages or carrots.
However, since onions are also full of vitamin B, which improves the metabolism of fat and sugar, they are thought to be good for health.
Half of the onion production in Japan comes from Hokkaito, and in KAMUKURA we make procurement of onions from all over the country.
In this condition, onions are being applied in a variety of cuisine from Western to Asian styles.
In KAMUKURA, onions are used in not only seasonal dishes, but also ingredients of rice bowls. Besides, onions are found in the seasoning of KAMUKURA cooking, visible or not.

This page will only show some general tips for citing sources and offer a brief sample of some frequently used citations. Please consult your writing/grammar handbook or instructor for more specific questions and guidance.
In-text Citations
In-text citations contain the author's last name and page number in parentheses and come directly after quoted or paraphrased material. Unless the end punctuation (i.e. question mark or exclamation point) belongs with the quote, always put the period after the parenthetical citation.
"In the 1920s, the fashion style changed dramatically, causing a gender revolution" (Smith 34).
If the author's last name is mentioned in an attributive tag before the quoted or paraphrased material, it does not need to be repeated in the in-text citation.
According to designer Susan Smith, "In the 1920s, the fashion style changed dramatically, causing a gender revolution" (34).
Works Cited Page
Your Works Cited page should be placed at the end of the paper. Center the title, Works Cited, but do not underline it. All sources should be listed in alphabetical order.
All citations start 1" from the margin, but when you drop to the next line(s), indent 1/2". This hanging indention will make it easier for the reader to skim the sources by the alphabetized list of authors' last names.
Parenthetical (in-text) citations should match the first item of each source listed on the works cited page. Thus, if no author is given, you move to the next piece of information (usually the title) and cite a shortened form of that piece of information in your parenthetical citation. For example, if an article found on the Internet listed no author and no page number but was titled "Freedom Fighters", cite it as follows: "Douglass became an invaluable figure in the abolitionist movement" ("Freedom").
Just as your entire paper should be double spaced, so should your works cited page and all your entries.
All dates are written in "military style" with no commas separating the day, month, and year. Example: 26 Nov. 2014
Works Cited entries should contain MLA's list of core elements (pieces of information common to all sources). Organize the core elements in this order, punctuating each element as shown. Skip elements that are not relevant to your source and insert elements that help to clarify your source, such as a second container.

Are my parents homophobic..
I never knew the faith didn't allow homosexuality until I signed up to an LGBT society at University. I am straight but I will always support LGBT rights as they're people too. However when i told my mum she said that the faith says people cant practice homosexuality. Through further reading i found that Shogi said that they should seek medical help and pray! I always thought the faith to be progressive and be welcoming to all people so to find this out is a great shock to me and has made me doubt my parents. I've never been 100% certain on joining the faith but I think now my mind is made up. I'm very disappointed but also scared that my parents are homophobic. Think I'll wear a big LGBT flag next time i go to a prayer meeting.

The following post was written by UHP student and SURE Award winner Laura Schwartz.
This year, I've been working on an original research project in the anthropology department on culture, race, and breastfeeding. I spent two years working as a work study employee at the Breastfeeding Center for Greater Washington. While I worked there, I learned a lot about the culture surrounding breastfeeding – it's a whole separate world that most people know nothing about. But it's also a complicated world. To people who have never been parents, the idea that breastfeeding is more than just baby + breast = successful feeding might be completely foreign. Lactation support is a hugely important area that combines aspects of peer assistance with the health care industry. The Center, and other organizations like it, provides both supplies (such as breast pumps, nursing clothing, etc.) and appointments with lactation consultants, who are certified medical professionals who specialize in breastfeeding. Though it's still off the radar of many, the field of lactation support is both crucial and growing.
Unfortunately, not all mothers have equal access to breastfeeding support, and that's what my research is all about. Although breastfeeding rates in the US have been rising in recent years as more evidence comes out about breastmilk's health benefits for babies as compared to formula, there are still many mothers who are not breastfeeding. In particular, African-American mothers' breastfeeding rates are significantly low compared to other mothers in the US. I've spent the past six months asking mothers of all races at the Breastfeeding Center about their breastfeeding experiences in surveys and interviews. I've paid special attention to African-American mothers and whether the factors that lead to their decisions to breastfeed are different from those at play for mothers of other races. Within my (small) sample, it looks like there are some differences, particularly involved with the degree to which breastfeeding is normalized within different communities. There may also be differences in level of access to resources such as peer support. In addition, I'm examining insurance coverage of lactation support, which have recently been expanded under the Affordable Care Act. Finally, I frame all of these results within the wider culture of breastfeeding, which is extremely interesting to analyze from an anthropological perspective.
The UHP SURE Award was instrumental for me, even though everything I needed funding for was pretty unglamorous. With the UHP's help, I was able to pay for photocopying of multi-page surveys to administer at the Breastfeeding Center. I also purchased a paper shredder to protect the privacy of my participants. Although these expenses seem minor, it would have been really tough for me to cover them myself, so the fact that the UHP Sure Award covered them for me was a huge deal as I was trying to get my study off the ground. I'm really proud of my original research, and I'm grateful to the UHP for all the help they've provided, both in the form of the SURE Award and otherwise!

Baby Swimming Lessons
Our Baby Swimming Lessons run from Ovingdean pool in Brighton.
As a teacher, there are few experiences more enjoyable and profound than seeing a baby's first experiences in the water. Babies relate the aqueous environment with feelings of security, nurturing and comfort. Maintaining these strong emotional bonds with the water can only have a positive impact on your child's life and development. I have taken great joy from the bond that I share with my children in the water. Teaching them to swim and having the water as common ground has brought us constant joy. If you would like to register your interest for baby and parent classes, please get in touch and share that wonderful experience with your child! You can request a call to arrange your baby's first lessons via our simple contact form.
If you are looking a more personal environment your first baby swims, please follow this link to our 1 to 1 Swimming Lessons page.

Gilles Domartini| Wed Jun 02 2010 CET| News
In my last post I listed the features that are the functional impetus for Cleeng. But we know that there's more to building a business than a list of functionalities.
That's why I've been working long and hard on the business model. As I see it, today there are two main ways to generate revenue as an online content producer: ads and subscriptions.
Add to the mix two technology models: platform centric and platform agnostic. For the former think Yahoo. For the latter think Google adSense. Obviously, the most successful business models are those that are platform agnostic. Twitter's recent success is a good example of how powerful a platform agnostic model can be.
An interesting thing happens when you map out these models. You can see that something's missing. Something as flexible as AdSense, but not as restrictive as a subscription.
Even more interesting this chart becomes when you plug the revenue sources. Clearly, there is one big winner, Google and the ad networks.
That's where Cleeng fits its. It's a one-click, platform-agnostic, micro-subscription system for content.
Today no such solution exists (I've seen what JournalismOnline does, but to be honest, it is nowhere close to the simplicity needed to succeed). There is no solution that allows publishers to monetize individual pieces of content, and that works with practically any kind of content, on any platform. Also, there's no way for users to buy content on the fly, without requiring them to lock themselves in with a subscription.
With this insight in hand, I went out and imagined a solution and filled a patent for it. Now, let's build the solution!

P101: Product dose considerations for real-world hand sanitiser efficacy
© Hines et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2013

- Hand Sanitiser
Alcohol based hand rubs (ABHRs) are extremely effective at reducing microbial contamination and are central to established best practices for hand hygiene. Modern dispensing systems have brought benefits such as hygienically sealed cartridges with integral pumps for dosing liquids, gels or foams. A remaining issue concerns the measured efficacy of such products and their use in practice as dictated by pump volume.
ABHRs for professional use must demonstrate efficacy through standard in-vivo tests; either EN1500 or ASTM E1174. Products typically pass such tests using standard doses not necessarily related to real use by healthcare workers. In this study we set out to identify the optimal dose for an ABHR product based on observation of real behavior.
Data from the DebMed GMS Hand Hygiene Monitoring System was used to establish product dose applied in clinical settings via the number of dispenser presses per hand hygiene event. In a separate study healthcare workers applied ABHR using best-practice methodology to establish product drying time as a function of dose. Hand coverage was assessed using a laboratory method based on product coverage. In-vivo efficacy was established using both ASTM E1174 and EN 1500 methods.
Healthcare workers intuitively calibrate ABHR dose based on drying time, hand coverage and product ergonomics. In our studies using Deb dispensers, over 90% of healthcare workers used a single pump of ABHR, even when multiple pumps are indicated. Our studies established that 1.5ml of ABHR in foam format dries in approximately 30 seconds and fully covers most hands. Both ASTM 1174 and EN 1500 tests confirmed that 1.5ml of Deb ABHR in foam format with 30 seconds contact time was sufficient to provide effective hand hygiene.
Product drying time, hand coverage and measured efficacy data are considered to determine the optimal dose for an ABHR in foam format dispensed from a sealed cartridge wall-mounted unit. This is combined with observed behaviour of healthcare workers to design a pump that delivers the optimal dose in a single press, connecting for the first time measured in-vivo efficacy standards with real-world use to ensure effective sanitization.

How can I prepare for a job layoff meeting?
Getting ready for a job layoff meeting is never easy, but there are some steps you can take to help yourself. First of all, you need to gain your composure as well as you can. Do not go into a job layoff meeting in an emotional state, as you might end up doing or saying something that you regret. You should also prepare a list of questions that may be appropriate for the meeting. For example, you might ask the manager if there is any severance package that you are entitled to. You may also ask about your health insurance or retirement plan.

Dear Friends,
This is Monday of Vacation Bible School week. I have never seen a church that does Vacation Bible School as well as we do. Many thanks to all those whose hard work and concern for children is making it happen again this year! This Sunday, June 21 at the 11 am service our VBS children and their families will be with us.
I am just back from Annual Conference in Salem. Doug Renfrow will be giving a report in worship on June 28. For now, here is just one story that inspired me:
Clay Andrew, our pastor in Hillsboro, Oregon told of a call he got from his Staff-Parish chair asking for a meeting. Turns out the subject had to do with the 12-step recovery groups that were meeting in their building. The agreement had been that each group was responsible for providing care for their own children. The agreement wasn't working very well. There were a lot of unattended children running around the building unsupervised. There had been a lot of complaints. Clay was expecting to be told that it was time to clamp down and ask these groups to leave. And Clay was ready to argue the point. He didn't have to.
He was asked, "Do you think it would be OK if our church would provide the childcare? It might be a small way of showing our support for these people who are working so hard to change their lives."
Clay said he thought that would be OK.
As a result several of these people have become involved with the Hillsboro church for more than just "meeting night". The other day he overheard one of them say to another, "I think this church likes us."
In Christ,

"Catch On! This is more than a catchy advertising slogan, it's our rally cry to ensure that U.S. aquaculture catches on. It's an invitation to connect, keep in touch and make a difference," says Bill Bayliss, chairman of the SAA board of directors. "It's our promise to the U.S. domestic aquaculture industry and to the members of the Soy Aquaculture Alliance."
"We believe establishing relationships and building connections among soy, aquaculture and seafood value chain stakeholders is crucial to helping aquaculture catch on. This is imperative as wild-capture fish production cannot sustainably meet the rising global demand for seafood in the decades ahead," adds SAA Executive Director Bridget Owen.
We have the will. We have the work ethic. And we have the market. The U.S. is the second largest consumer of seafood in the world, yet we import 85 percent of our seafood. That's roughly one out of every nine fish served at Friday night fish fry's, local restaurants and dinner tables around the country. To change that, we need a community of committed stakeholders to grow aquaculture production within our borders. Producers. Processors. Suppliers. Researchers. Educators. Entrepreneurs. Legislators. All of us, working together so we're ensuring aquaculture catches on, right here and right now.Become a Member

Comment: Don't just assume everything will be alright - Ipswich Town fans, your club needs you
PUBLISHED: 06:00 23 November 2018
© Copyright Stephen Waller
A crowd of more than 22,000 is expected at Portman Road tonight when Ipswich Town host West Brom in a televised Championship clash (7.45pm ko). STUART WATSON gives his thoughts.
Ipswich Town fans – your club needs you more than ever before.
It feels to me that too many are still thinking, even on a sub-conscious level, that everything will be alright.
Make no mistake though, the odds are not in our favour.
Rock-bottom and five points adrift of safety after 17 games – the stark reality is that no-one has ever survived from this position in Championship history.
MORE: 'We must show we can play good, attacking and intense football' - Bialkowski wants Town to impress
Since the turn of the century, just two teams have beaten the drop after being bottom at this stage – Norwich in 2007/08 and Doncaster in 08/09. And both were one point better off than Town currently are at the same juncture.
Some have fallen valiantly short in the battle. More have ended up miles adrift. Those are the cold, hard facts.
Please do interpret the above as unnecessary negativity. Please do not interpret it as flying directly in the face of Paul Lambert avoiding the 'r' word and boldly proclaiming five points is 'nothing'.
MORE: 'He's been very, very good' - Evans to speak to Knudsen regarding new deal following Lambert recommendation
I do, absolutely, believe that Town can stay up under his leadership.
The experienced Scot is a force of nature. He has sought advice from those who know this club inside out, he 100% gets how the club has been sleepwalking into this current predicament and has rapidly set about finding short and long-term remedies.
In less than a month he has galvanised the players and fans. The improvement in performance levels for his first two games has been vast. There is renewed confidence and belief.
MORE: 'He's got to leave potential at the door and leave a mark' - Lambert on Bishop return and Huws setback
I was fortune enough to have spent some time in his company earlier this week. I felt the energy and drive. But one man's energy and drive might not be enough. Eleven men's energy and drive on the pitch might not be enough. That's where you all come in.
A crowd in excess of 22,000 is expected at Portman Road for tonight's televised game against West Brom. That's to support a team that's won just twice at home this calender year. Ticket offer or not, that's remarkable.
Let's not get complacent though. Do not turn up with a passive mind-set. Don't wait for the first big tackle, run or shot to get you off your seats. Bring the noise and help the boys because they need it. Be supporters in the true sense of the word.
MORE: 'I just go with my own eye' - Lambert confirms Graham loan will be cut short in January
I know exactly why the atmosphere has been so apathetic in recent years. I've seen the same games you have. But the players are enjoying themselves again and so should you.
You may have noticed I wrote 'our' earlier. Forgive the slip in objectivity. Bigger picture concerns can go under the microscope further down the line. Right now we're all in this together.

TapAquiz gives Trivia hosts and fundraising professionals everything they need to run a successful trivia night, replacing the need for pen and paper scoring and marking question sheets manually. Delivering questions straight to handsets in real time as they display on screen and polling for answers live means hosts have more time to get on with running their fundraising event, while also enhancing the user experience.
Software and app development in the past has been extremely expensive, especially for small and medium sized businesses in Australia, but with the rise of the internet and the SaaS "Software as a service" business model – a model where software is written once and delivered multiple times over the internet for a small usage fee, means that there has never been a better time for agencies to take full advantage of tools they could only dream of 5 years ago. It's a very exciting time for the IT industry in general and we hope to partner up with more fundraising agencies in the future to build more great products.
Damien Cook is cofounder and software developer at Appytizer Pty Ltd, a software development firm based in Melbourne, Australia that creates innovative web, mobile and desktop applications. Get started hosting your next Trivia night at www.tapaquiz.com

The BUZZARD
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
The BAT
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
The BUMBLEBEE
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up or outside the boundaries created by our problems to find the right solution.
I do not the know the scientific authenticity of the facts above but it sounded thought-provoking enough to include in i-TFTD.
Leaders of teams could use this analogy to understand members of their teams: some might need a proper platform to fly, some need to be encouraged to look at the source of light, some need to see a clear "runway" before taking off...

Take the venture to think
The essential act of thinking about the serious problems of our global living together is your most important contribution. Take your time to reflect about the "big questions" and spare time on playing around with the newest Apps or updating your Instagram. In particular, focus on the consequences of your personal behavior and attitudes for other people outside your immediate reach. Those who really made a difference had a collective starting point. They sat down to think.
You don't need a right of free opinion if you have no opinion.
Exchanging beliefs, assessing arguments, and learning about opposing ideas is one of the most productive experiences. Tackling the big questions makes sure you urge others to take a stand on the
urgent issues of our time. Making People seriously argue for their position is the easiest way to trigger a thinking process.
Stay informed
Proper opinions need proper information. We should always take the time to gather balanced information also about those latent issues out of constant focus but potentially affecting
billions of people. If you really want to know about a certain topic you have easy access to manifold information sources. At our website we continously propose books we think are interesting regarding our prime topic, economic moderation.
Don't be a conformist
There are too many people who make themselves comfortable with challenging nothing. They regard their rights and material welfare as a means to live an undisturbed life and forget about the duties coming along with them. Instead, we should feel obliged to interfere in what we personally think goes wrong and deserves public discussion. Again, this requires to first think and second form a sophisticated opinion.
Join locally
Obviously, the best way to make an effective difference is continuous engagement within your everyday reach. A number of studies show that short-term volunteer work abroad is far less helpful. A one year volunter stand in Africa might look impressing on your CV; however, your local impact would probably have been much more effective. Later on you might decide to support those who suffer from immoderate economic demands on the spot. It's all about where and how you can really make a difference, not where and how to impress others for the sake of yourself.

Must Have For Every Successful Babysitting Facility
Running a facility that is going to act as a second home for kids is no easy task. It involves getting the right licence and having well trained staff to make sure all the kids are taken very good care of. No one should be allowed to be unattended. It is role that requires attention and alertness at all times. There are many other factors that will give you a place that is successful. Both the parents and the kids should feel happy and well taken care of. They should also be able to feel confident about the place where they will be leaving the child day in and day out. Here are some of the common things that should be taken care of to make sure you have a successful facility.
Have your paperwork all sorted
Every leading childcare centre in Yio Chu Kang should have a valid licence. You as the owner should make sure you go through all the needed paperwork so that you have all the right documentation ready to display or give to any potential parent. You should also get your facility checked and inspected for health and safety reasons. This should be carried out on a regular basis so that you can be sure that you are in fact running a safe place where people can leave their kids under your supervision. Having all the right paper work will also bring you more clients and it will in turn boost your business, making this a profitable run for you.
Have good safety rules and systems
Smoke detectors, fire alarms and other emergency systems should always be functioning well and good. A day care centre for children should also have rules on sickness and leave of absence. When a child is sick, there should be rules set so that they will have to refrain from the facility until they recover well. This is important to avoid the infection transferring from one child to the other. It is also important for the child to be taken care of by the parent during sickness. Making standard rules and regulations will make life so much easier for you as the person responsible for the facility. When these such rules are adhered to without any excuse, you will be able to have a facility that will be taken seriously. This in turn will again make your place look good and help you build a good reputation.
A simple set of guild line will make sure you have an effective place. You have to always make sure you keep up the standard by adhering to the rules and regulation of both the local government as well as your individual organization.

At the dawn of the third millennium, intending to lay foundation for a Eucharistic centered priestly, religious and ecclessial life, the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (MCBS) took the humble step of establishing its own theological seminary, sanathana – Divya Karunya Vidya Peetham (DKV) at Thamarassery, in Kerala, India. Though the primary purpose of this theologate is formation and education of the MCBS seminarians, Sanathana warmly welcomes candidates from the various dioceses and other religious communities. An eight semester curriculam envisioned at DKV offers various courses and training programmes aimed at forming the candidates in to mature, Holy and His people.
The long cherished dream of the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament to establish a theologate of its own was first expressed in the General Synaxes convened in 1997 and 2001. In accordance with the synaxis' decision, twenty one acres of land was purchased at Thamarassery on 15th July 1999. And on 24th May 2001 His Excellency Mar Thomas Elavanal mcbs, the bishop of Kalyan, laid the foundation stone for the Sanathana MCBS Theologate. On 7th June 2004, His Excellency Mar Paul Chittilapilly, the bishop of Thamarassery, blessed this seminary and inaugurated the first academic year 2004-2005 of the Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham, in the presence of Very Rev Fr George Karintholil, the Superior General of MCBS, Very Rev Fr Joseph Erumachadath, and Very Rev Fr George Kizhakkemury, the then provincials of Emmaus and Zion Provinces respectively. His Grace Mar Jacob Thoomkuzhy, the Archbishop of Thrissur, inaugurated the second academic year 2005-2006 on 6th June 2005. His Grace Mar George Valiamattom, the Archbishop of Thalassery, inaugurated the third academic year 2006-2007 on 5th June 2006. On 3rd July 2006His Excellency Mar Paul Chittilapilly officially inaugurated Sanathana, the Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham, the theologate of the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. On 5th June 2007 His grace Mar Joseph Perumthottam Arch Bishop of Changanassery,inagurated the fourth academic year of Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham.
Very Rev. fr. Geroge Kizhakkemurry, the MCBS Superior General, inaugurated the Fifth academic year 2008-2009 on 5th June 2008. His Excellency Mar paul Chittilappilly, Bishop of Thamarassery, inaugurated the sixth academic Year 2009-2010 on 4th June 2009. Sanathana Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham became affiliated to the faculty of Theology of the Pontifical Urbaniana University, Rome by the decree of the Congregation for Catholic Education (Decree No. 908/2009/4) on October 5, 2009. His Excellency Joseph Mar Thomas, Bishop of Bathery, inaugurated the seventh academic year 2010-2011 0n 3rd June 2010.
The name of the MCBS Theologate is Sanathana , which means eternal embodiment of the divine sacrament and sacrifice that takes one to the summit of an authentic religious/priestly life consisting in self-immolation as expressed in the Eucharistic sacrifice of Jesus. The Word became flesh as primordial sacrifice and sacrament. "I have to undergo a baptism" (Lk 12, 50) which means His death on the cross for human salvation. "The blood of bulls you did not want… but you have given me a body… hence I come to perform sacrifice," (Ps 40, 7-9; Heb 10, 5-9).
Seen from this perspective, the Eucharist is the Eternal Embodiment ( Sanathana) of the communion and compassion of Jesus where sacrifice and sacrament blend in a very special way. Authentic priestly and religious life is a sacrificial offering of one's self that demands constant self-transformation, self-transcendence and the concomitant socio-political consciousness.
The emblem of Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham (DKV) radiates the Eucharistic wisdom permeating the learning, lifestyle and culture. The upadesa-mudra at the centre of the emblem represents the Risen Christ. He is the Divine Guru (master) who imparts vidya through altar and cross to the sishya (disciple) symbolised by the burning flame. Through constant self-sacrifice sishya dispels all forms of ignorance, and impurity and becomes enlightened with the light of the Word and the life giving Eucharistic bread. Abiding in the Word – the two edged sword that pierces spirit and joints from the marrow – and nourishing from the life-giving Bread – the epiphany of communion – will enable one to lead a life of Trinitarian and cosmic communion and will awaken in the priestly candidate a mystico-socio-political consciousness. This is what the Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament aims at imparting to all the candidates at Sanathana, the Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham.
The motto
The motto of Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham inscribed in the emblem is the prayer of the disciples of Emmaus, Stay with us Lord (Lk 24,29). Pope John Paul II took this prayer as the title of his Apostolic Letter, Mane Nobiscum Domine. This apostolic letter in connection with the Eucharistic Year 2004-2005, is the culmination of his Eucharistic teachings contained in Tertio Millennio Adveniente, Novo Millennio Ineunte , Ecclesia de Eucharistia and Redemptionis Sacramentum.Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham established in the Eucharistic Year, upholds the values and principles of the Eucharist that leads one to a life of divine compassion through its celebration, contemplation, and adoration. The Eucharistic centred priestly and religious training offered at Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham will enable the candidates not only to free themselves from the snares of existential trials and tribulations but also to recognise and serve the Eucharistic Jesus in the happy as well as tragic times, places and persons.
Anchoring on the Most Holy Eucharist, the source of eternal life and wisdom, DKV imparts a system of theological formation suited to the twenty first century and aims at enlightening the candidates to form the people of the Eucharistic Millennium. A profound theological, especially Eucharistic didactics together with an organic interface among various courses and exposures will naturally lead the candidates to the concurrent pastoral, social and missiological realities, and challenges. To bring about such an organic interrelatedness, theological subjects deliberated under various titles have been configured in overarching themes such as :
Introducing Major Theological Themes in the Asian context and culture.
Focussing on Jesus Christ and His Church
Mission, Ministry and Meetings with Cultures, Religions and the Poor
Becoming a True Disciple of Christ and Dedicating Oneself to God and His Kingdom.
The introductory courses in the first year emphasise the theological contextualisation. The second year focuses on the epicentre of theology, that is, Jesus Christ and His Church. The third year highlights the theological concretisation, the praxis of theology through mission, ministry and meetings with cultures, religions and the poor. In the fourth year emphasis is given for personalisation of theology by which the candidate consecrates himself/herself to Christ and dedicates himself/herself for the establishment of the Kingdom of God.
Participative-Interactive,Analytico-Critical and Organico-
Synthentic Process
This praxis-sensitive methodology of DKV emphasizes a participative, interactive, analytical, critical, organic and synthetic learning and teaching by students and professors respectively. The more a student participates, interacts, analyses, criticises, and subsequently enhances and synthesises theological notions, the better he/she will be able to theologically contextualise, concentrate, concretise, and consecrate himself/herself to the Eucharistic Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
The theological methodology envisioned by DKV highlights the various subjects that are taught with an existential reference to the socio-political and religious-cultural spectrum of Indian and Eastern Reality. To realize this incarnational approach, theological themes are discussed in a hermeneutics of correlation which implies a triple dialogue with Asian cultures, Asian religions and the Asian poor.
Didactic, Empirical and Transformational Focus
In consonance with its vision and methodology, the Divya Karunya Vidyapeetham has designed its syllabus in a didactic, empirical and transformational way so that the student may have ample opportunities to experience the Eucharistic Jesus, not only in liturgical celebrations but also in the liturgy of life of the suffering humanity. Hence, besides the regular theological courses, the DKV curriculum has the following salient features which would enable the student to be in solidarity with the suffering members of the Mystical Body of Christ.
i. Enhancing the mission consciousness of the students with special reference to Asia 's social, cultural and missionary concerns, mission exposure programmes from time to time will be conducted.
ii. A liturgical and Eucharistic centred formation will naturally inspire the candidates to serve the marginalized and victimized in the society. Hence special emphasis will be given to social and rural programmes so as to awaken the socio-political as well as rural awareness of the students. Ample opportunities will be offered to the students to visit the last, lost and least in the society.
iii. Forming good shepherds after the heart of Jesus for the people of third millennium great attention will be given to the pastoral formation. Students will be offered opportunities for pastoral ministry on Sundays.
iv. Promoting theological creativity by encouraging the students to write and publish theological articles in the major theological journals.
v. Encountering contemporary theologians and discussing theological issues will broaden the theological horizons of students. Hence DKV will provide ample opportunities for seminars and extension lectures.

League Rules
Dear Parents:
The below letter was created by the Directors of the Southwest Midget Football League. All teams in our league are required to distribute this letter to all families. The Titans request that you carefully read this letter and abide by these rules. Please pass this information along to your family and friends who may be attending your child's games. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter.
Dear Parents and Adults:
Most of the programs in our league play and use park district, school district, or some sort of village property to practice and play games.
It has been brought to the league's attention, that tailgating and use of alcoholic beverages has gotten out of hand. This forces the league's officials to declare that tailgating and use of alcoholic beverages will not be tolerated. How would you feel if a program lost the use of the fields because of a few selfish individuals that don't respect the park they are visiting?
Please help us by not tailgating or using alcoholic beverages during practices or games. Most towns pay their referees through their concession stands. Please support your child and our league by abiding by the rules!
Thank You.
Directors of
Southwest Midget Football League
