Here I am again apologizing for not being around much this summer. I have mentioned I run a daycare and summer break is a chaotic, crazy, fun and busy time for me. However, I won't use that as the excuse for not being around. I'm still struggling. I am doing much better with my eating. I am still not weighing until my 40th birthday at the end of August but, can tell my renewed dedication to logging my food and making exercise a priority has paid off. Clothes that were getting snug or flat out didn't fit, are fitting fine again and I'm thrilled with that!
I am officially a bit over a year out from surgery now and I will not even pretend it's been an easy year. Gastric Sleeve surgery isn't a cure all and it isn't a magical fairy dust that they sprinkled over me while I was under. It's a tool and like any tool, if you aren't putting the work behind it, it just sorta lays there doing nothing. I learned that when I got well….stupid…the first half of this year. So for my fellow "sleevers", take care of yourselves, physically and mentally. Don't become lazy, and don't think just because, you had wls you will lose all your weight and keep it off. I know that MOST of us know this but, there are those cute guys and gals who think this will be the "miracle" they've waited for their whole life. You only get out of it what you put into it!
My husband and I are getting ready to head off on vacation to the coast next weekend. It's been a year since we had a vacation together and I'm excited about it. We are in a much better place as a couple than we were at this time last year. It was just a difficult time as we were adjusting from the previous year of job worries, and in the midst of the year of trials and huge health decisions. ANYWAY…I digress…the point here is that I was thinking of that last vacation and the fact that I had lost a significant amount of weight before it and that I was fresh from surgery when we took off. That made me dig out a picture of the adventure. I will admit it is a crappy picture due to the fact that I was still incredibly ANTI camera at that time. Again…moving on…I became obsessed by that picture and decided that I needed a picture of myself in that outfit so I wore what I could on Friday and tried to get the same pose down and had Joe take a picture. I will say the pants were 4 full sizes too big (so I chose not to wear them lol) for me and the shirt is baggy (can't tell in the pic really because of quality) but, it has also been taken in about 3 inches on each side of the waist. I can see some differences and others are hard for me to see. I am disappointed there isn't a bigger change but, honestly it's just a picture and you can't see that the shirt was so tight I was pulling at it all day when I wore it last year. The pants I could barely breath in and I was a self conscious wreck in that outfit the whole day because, I thought all my rolls were hanging out all over the place…and that was after a 70 some pre-surgery loss. On Friday I was self conscious because the shirt was baggy even taken in 6 inches and I felt like I was falling out of it. The pants were a size I never thought I'd be and I wasn't uncomfortable taking the picture after 126 pound total loss. All in all I declare it a success 🙂
I am emotionally in a better place than I was last post. I still struggle with some things but, all in all life is good and I'm blessed with a wonderful family. Lately the thing that has been on my mind the most is that I would be getting ready to deliver the baby we lost, this month. I've been having dreams about babies and pregnancy. I know it wasn't God's Will for us but, I can't help but, wish things were different. Between this being on my mind and just day to day life with daycare, home, kids, and husband, I am learning to take my desire to eat in another direction. I have been hitting the home gym. Even this afternoon after church when I was livid with someone and had to cool off, the exercise equipment is where I headed to pray it out, NOT the kitchen! That is a huge accomplishment for me.
I have noticed something that makes me really smile huge. This past year my middle child Ebby, has become MY girl. She has been a Daddy's girl her whole life from the moment she was born. Something changed in the past several months and whatever it is I'm grateful for the time with her. Don't get me wrong, she's still her Daddy's girl and will probably totally go that direction again in a short while as we begin to butt heads over "girl" drama but, I am loving this time with her. I am not sure what that has to do with a weight loss blog but, you are all used to me going off in odd directions 😛
I am not the only one with stuff to share but, since the other stuff isn't MINE to share…hint, hint, hint, Clint, Clint, Clint…I will let that rest until he decides to come back out and play on the blog! Let's just say he's incredibly amazing and accomplished something big at the end of July!
Hugs to you all and thanks for reading even though I've been totally flakey all summer.

CALLED OUT // Guest Post No. 2: Backyard Travels (Emily Kaellner)
One thing I've learned about God through the years is that He is lovingly persistent. He never gives up on anyone, and
He never "leaves well enough alone", which means He is also continually pressing us into situations where we can grow.
Often these situations are ones which call us out of ourselves, which challenge us to serve others, to be His hands and feet,
to love deeply and boldly and sacrificially. Today I've invited Emily Kaellner to share how God has been growing her in this way.
I cannot help but think of Mumford & Sons and one of their songs called "White Blank Page". To me, writing publicly is intimidating. It might not be to our current culture full of bloggers and writers and witty individuals who simply post their cool comical tweets. But, as for me, I am not a writer. Not even close. I did attempt a blog once. When I was 21. That was ten years ago and I called it, "Em & M's… dancing through life one M&M at a time." BAHAHA! So, work with me here and try and follow what I am about to describe to you.
I am 31 years old. I have an incredible husband and two beautiful daughters. We own a house in the lovely suburbs of Madison, Wisconsin. We live in an incredibly safe and generous neighborhood and both have our gym, the grocery store and our work no more than a 5 minute drive away. Pretty little picture, right? And it is. Everything is abundant. But it is never what I thought my life would look like.
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to change the world. I have a Savior in Christ Jesus and since I am a Christ-follower, He calls me to GO and make disciples to the ENDS of the earth. I take that command seriously. I want to help change the world! I surely thought that command meant that I was to move to a country in Africa or South America and help be His A-game by CHANGING LIVES there. You see, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago in a nice, wealthy, attractive area and yet I took every opportunity I could to help anywhere but there. I went on weeklong mission trips with my youth group every summer and even led one in college to other parts of the country, to Mexico, to Canada, to OTHER places but my suburban life.
And as time went on as a young adult, during my junior year at Marquette in Milwaukee, I wanted to drop out and become a missionary SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are hungry, suffering people around the world and I needed to go help them! ENTER ROAD BLOCK: my sweet, protective parents would not let me. They refused. Shocking! See, at the time they were paying for my bills, so I really knew their say in my idea was the one that was going to stick. I was devastated. They wanted the best for me and cared about my future so they gave me an alternative: to study abroad for a semester. Unlike the rest of my college friends, I was not enthusiastic. I wanted to go do missions and help the world. But I was determined to make the best of this undesirable situation. SO, I checked out the study abroad programs and I could not believe my eyes. They had just started a study abroad and service-learning program in Cape Town, South Africa. This was a pilot program where a small group of students would work and study with the locals in order to learn about community development and what was happening within the country. I almost peed my pants. Loophole city! My parents were the aggravated ones now. I knew they would stick to their word so here I was elated and jumping for joy.
So, in 2007, I lived in South Africa. It was one of the best times of my life. I came back from living in Cape Town a different, transformed girl. I thought this was just the beginning of my world-traveler life. Fist pump!
When I graduated, I decided to be a missionary for a year in Brazil. Enter road block: our visas were unable to get approved for longer than a few months so we would have to travel back and forth from the States to Brazil and it would be too expensive. Also, the leadership there was changing and so with a number of complications, the mission was canceled. We were redirected to Brisbane, Australia. We were to pray about it to see if it was where we were to go.
What? A westernized country? How could they need my help? Nooo, how was I going to tell my people to support me when I am going to a country just as rich as the US? "God, You have it wrong!" I whined.
I had a couple days to pray about it. At the time, I was planning my parents' 25th wedding anniversary party and raising support for this mission and working a job and housesitting a friend's place with two dogs. I used to say "yes" too much. I used to spread myself too thin. Can you tell?!
So one morning I went to the Starbucks and prayed, sought God on this matter and really carved out some time to wrestle with whether or not I was going to go to australia. This couple that sat by me struck up a conversation with me, asking if I was reading a Bible opened in front of me. I explained my situation to them and said at the end, yes, I am reading the Bible. They were so excited about the possibility that I am traveling to tell others about the hope of Christ that they wrote me a check for $1,200 right on the spot. For real. No exaggeration. Strangers. Just gave me a lot of money. They don't even know me. I did not even ask for it. I did not even tell them I needed to raise a ton of money for this thing to happen.
And at that moment, I did not need a greater sign than that. I was going to Australia.
Well, this trend goes on and on and on throughout my life – where I try to figure out where God wants me to "help" people. And I attempt to go or I do go… and again and again, He brings me back to the Midwest suburban life.
You see, one of my life verses has always been Acts 1:8: But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. (AMP)
I always took this as saying that I can go ANYWHERE and should go everywhere for Christ. Well, even though Jesus tells us where you are to be a Witness for Him (everywhere), the text actually first speaks of their present location: Jerusalem. Many believe that for us reading this verse today, Jerusalem represents where you live now. Then it speaks of the local area such as the state or country you live in. THEN, it goes on to speak about going out to the rest of the world.
I mean, I share my life with my family and my friends but I never really thought that growing up in the 'burbs I was supposed to end up evangelizing to the 'burbs. So, again, I whine for a bit. Not that I am unwilling to do what God wants me to do, I just need to throw a bit of a tantrum first to get it out of my system. I am a planner so I need to simply readjust. I say, "God, I don't want to talk about Louis Vuitton purses and if I have a nanny cam installed in our nursery!' That is really what I thought my world was going to be like if I were to stay put. Then I got real with God, real with myself and "real"ized that I, me, myself, grew up here in the midst of this all. I am a part of it all. Just because I have been other places doesn't mean I am above where I grew up. I still needed someone to tell me about eternity and Jesus and His hope for my life. Just because the glitz and glamour gets in the way and it's not obvious from the cover of the wonderful American-dream, white-picket-fence life that we all live around here… we all still need something more. The need to hear that there is more to life might be even more crucial around here… on a soul level. Our souls are being quenched by all the distractions, all the "stuff" that can so easily entangle us and we are all dying like the fashions that were last season… but slower and with more Starbucks in our hands.
Enter road block: my own relationship with God and realizing that He has been calling me back to my roots, back to spaces and places that are so desperate for Him but we don't even know it. I knew it but I didn't want to be the one to do it. All along it's like God has been saying, "Em, stay put. Don't run away. Even though it's hard, even though it might seem more impressive, more exciting to scurry off to a foreign land to do my work, I am missing in the lives around you now more than ever. Everyone is drowning in the lifestyles of the rich and famous or trying to live up to that standard. Since I have given you a taste of what it could be like and to be an ambassador that there is another way to live, stay here and show it to others."
Oh geez.
Don't get me wrong, I love me a comfy bed and hot water and heat and electricity and all the wonderful blessings we so easily take for granted. My friends will tell you, I like glamping, not camping. Or neither at all and grab a hotel. I love fashion and fancy coffee and convenience. But I think all these years of going far away was more of a self-defense, a way not to have to deal with any of problems and challenges that come with having a lot of material things yet impoverished spiritual lives. I also was afraid of being ordinary… afraid that if I lived in a normal place with regular things around me, that I would somehow not be used as mightily by God. All false beliefs. God can use us anywhere and sometimes the most familiar places are forgotten. so I have been trying to do that for a while now. And it is tough. Challenging is an understatement. It would be so easy for me to move where there is less and to have less but to be surrounded by more yet not choose to have more: that is the true test.
As Arulnathan John said in his 2011 article on vantagepoint.com, "Mother Teresa was well aware that what outwardly passed for satisfaction was often a mask to hide our innate dissatisfaction or discontent. During an interview with Time magazine in 1989, she said the rich 'are never satisfied. They always need something more…I find that poverty hard to remove. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.' "
I am nowhere perfect at trying to be IN the world but not OF it around here. I sometimes do not even know what to leave out or separate and what to keep in. And I don't always think that just because you have much, you are idolizing it. Many people have a great relationship with things. But what I do know is that God is alive here and moving and people are catching on. God has changed my desire and I am excited to go wherever He leads me, even if that is just around the corner or 5 minutes away. I continue to rely on His strength, His will and His plan for my life. Because, without it, I would be just one White Blank Page and that is boring. God has taken me places I would have never taken myself. It has been surprisingly well for my soul. God's plan is exhilarating even if it IS in your backyard in the middle of Wisconsin.

Aliens all over, we recommend reading this article for your own future planning! This is an article on how the humans have been changing the Earth, the planet that we were going to settle on in 2052. Now, the problem is, the Earth's health is getting worse. Things such as pollution, slash and burn agriculture, and so much more, are all things that the humans have done to ruin the Earth!
Slash and burn is used for the humans to cut and burn down trees for fuel. This releases many greenhouse gasses into the air. Humans are worried about the greenhouse gasses in the air, but they do this for fuel and energy. Now, we do not need oxygen to breathe, we can survive on many other gasses. To put the humans out of their misseri, we must invade now! Otherwise the humans could just keep ruining the planet. Slash and burn does give fuel which definitely helps them out by giving them energy but it will not help us! When it releases these greenhouse gasses in the air, it can make the planet even more hot!
My fellow beings, they are ruining our seas! We need them for the fish! The aral sea is an example of this. Over the past couple of decades, the sea has shrunk massively! This is because the humans have transferred the rivers that lead into the aral sea to farming and irrigation purposes. Humans do this because they are running out of fresh water. This is one of their only options left.Now, this was a horrible idea! The evaporation rates became higher than the amount of water coming in! This is happening in many, many, places on Earth! Again, humans are ruining our planet.
Humans are going over the limit! If we invade we could help them! We would of course be more benefited but they will have a brighter future than they have now!

Chunk Project
with UNCLECHUNK, DJ Bad Funk, Footlost, Caroline Springs
I was only going to see a couple of shows at the Fringe Festival this year, but thanks to Danielle who contacted me on another site I post my photos on, I agreed to come see a different show and was glad that I did. I hadn't been to see a gig at the Empress since last year as most of the bands I go to see either play in St Kilda or Brunswick.
Arriving at the venue early, I had the chance to say hello to everyone in the show and take some photos of the impressive stage decorations. There was also a large TV in the middle of the stage and lots of lamps scattered everywhere. I am ambivalent about lamps since I nearly electrocuted myself by grabbing the live wires of one when trying to stop it falling over once, but these ones were fine.
There was a good variety of acts in the show as well as the main band UNCLECHUNK. I still get people asking me when the "Breath Control" doco is coming out, so it was good to see an actual beatboxer in the form of DJ Bad Funk and he also got to do an encore at the end of the show.
I enjoyed UNCLECHUNK as they played different music to what I would usually go to see. I will try to go see them some time in the future. They didn't perform just the one set for this gig as they played a few songs, had a special act and a vintage TV commercial to mix things up. I thought I was the only one to remember the "blood and guts and grease off the rod" from the Sard Wondersoap ad (A lot of my friends don't watch TV or don't have one for the sole purpose of saying "I don't even HAVE a TV!")
Footlost were also really good from what I saw of them. Photographing dance is difficult even if I could get my flash to work properly, so I was glad to get some good shots of their performance.
Caroline Springs also got to do a short stand-up routine and was appreciated in particular by a couple of scruffy looking dudes who appeared way up the back during her act.
I thought it was a great show and hopefully more people come to their final show on Sunday.

Jindaiji temple
To reach Jindaiji temple, you are to take a bus from one of the nearby stations, Tsutsuji-gaoka Station, Kichijoji Station, or Mitaka Station. The bus goes through residential streets and heads for the wooded area, would be a 20 to 30 min ride.
Getting off at the bus stop "Jindaiji", you will see an approach leading to Jindaiji temple. Streets around the temple are lined with old shops and teahouses, and most people come to see this unchanged scene in a natural setting.
You will see many Soba noodle shops on the streets as Soba noodle is the speciality of Jindaiji as the town abundant with spring water to make noodles. Zaru or dipping cooled noodles with Soba soup is the popular eating style at Jindaiji.
Jindai Botanical Gardens
At the back of Jindaiji temple, there is the large park Jindai Botanical Gardens operated by Tokyo metropolitan government, another attraction in the Jindaiji area. Seasonal flower festivals, including rose festivals in May and October, are held in the park. Jindai Botanical Gardens are divided into 3 zones, and an admission fee is required to enter the main zone where flower festivals are held.
Since most visitors who visit the flower festival also visit Jindaiji Temple, and vice versa, it will be so crowded during the festival, especially on weekends. If you plan to visit both the temple and the botanical gardens, it is recommended that you visit early in the morning*, so you can enjoy lunch peacefully before all the soba restaurants get busy at noon. The slope and starts behind Jindaiji temple lead to the entrance "Jindaiji Gate" where visitors can buy entrance tickets there. Since the ticket is good for one day, the ticket holders are allowed to reenter after enjoying lunch at a Soba shop nearby.
*Jindai Botanical Gardens open at 9:30AM and close at 5:00PM (by 4:00PM for admission).
Special Free Admission Days
The parks operated by Tokyo metropolitan government offer free admission on Green day (Midori-no-hi on May 4) and Tokyo citizens day (Tomin-no-hi on October 1). On these special days, free admission is available to anyone visiting the main zone of Jindai Botanical Gardens.
Getting to Jindaiji temple
By Train and Bus from Shinjuku 新宿 - 3 options
(1) By way of Tsutsujigaoka station つつじヶ丘北口 (The cheapest way in the 3 options)
Take the Keio-sen Line train from Shinjuku station, and get off at Tsutsujigaoka Station (21-min ride). From Tsutsujigaoka Station (North Exit), take a bus bound for Jindaiji 深大寺 and get off at Jindaiji(18-min ride)

Sprint 1 Reflection – Jennie
When we first sat down together at the beginning of the semester, I felt as though I had just been let in on a great secret. Davidson and the DLRD department had taken this incredible opportunity–to adapt and test a learning methodology, which, elsewhere in the world is beginning to enhance, if not replace, the classroom structure in academic institutions–and threw it in our laps. It was exciting and invigorating to talk about making this idea a reality, but, still, it was so unlike anything happening on Davidson campus that it felt intangible and idealistic. During that first brainstorming session with the team, I thought, "this will never happen."
Since then, we have transformed this great secret into a semester-long curriculum with a comprehensive and personal syllabus. The syllabus, I think, is the perfect example of how forward and new this course is. We wrote it. That fact alone sets this course apart from any other class offered at Davidson. More importantly, we wrote it for ourselves. I feel represented in this syllabus. Instead of a professor setting goals for me and deciding what I must accomplish to achieve "success", I am setting those goals and defining that success. With this syllabus, I am actively invested in the course from the outset, in comparison to just meeting expectations. Another benefit of creating the syllabus is knowing that because I created this with Annie, Andrew and Summer, they are equally represented and invested in this course. That understanding, for me, establishes a foundation of trust and respect. The syllabus is also perpetually "under-revision", which allows us the flexibility to explore and experiment. The nature of the syllabus, and this course in general, provides enough ambiguity to foster a risk-taking environment and creative process, and asserts enough structure to keep us on track and invested in our progress.

AAOS Board of Directors to be restructured
New lineup includes first layman member with voting power, COMSS secretary
In a move to make the AAOS Board of Directors a more flexible, efficient and effective governing body, the directors approved in April changes in the composition of the Board.
The far reaching action comes as the whirlwind of technological change sweeping through society is producing new opportunities for growth and accomplishment for some organizations. The key for success is to be able to adapt, to be nimble and to have an awareness of what is happening and how to make the next move in a fast changing environment.
Thats what the Board of Directors had in mind when it set in motion the AAOS in 2005 plan. The goal is to create a knowledge-based organization, with core activities in data accrual, information management, knowledge dissemination and leadership development.
The Board approved restructuring the Board of Directors, using as its model the shape of Boards of modern organizations. The AAOS Board will be more inclusive, competency-based and be able to explore new challenges and make decisions quickly, says Richard H. Gelberman, MD, president.
"The emphasis is on efficiency and effectiveness," Dr. Gelberman stresses.
Another important action by the Board in April was to revise the resolutions and Bylaws approval process. Both actions will need approval of the AAOS members at the 2002 Annual Meeting.
In restructuring the Board, the directors approved recommendations by the Boards Governance Task Force, chaired by James H. Herndon, MD, Second Vice President. The Board approved elimination of the Second Past President and Secretary positions on the Board. This would occur once the present Board members in those positions have completed their terms. "The Second Past President will remain on the Finance Committee, providing the institutional memory needed in those deliberations," says Dr. Gelberman. "As is the case in other organizations, the Secretarys functions will be handled by staff or, when necessary, the First Vice President."
The Board approved adding a lay member with voting privileges and adding the COMSS secretary as a Board member. The lay member, selected on the basis of competency, will provide the perspective of an expert from the world outside the orthopaedic community. "Lay members are very common on Boards today and add needed expertise and depth to a modern board," says Dr. Herndon.
The addition of the COMSS secretary emphasizes the Boards relationship with the specialty societies, and underscores the growth of specialists. More than 60 percent of the AAOS membership is either specialists or general orthopaedists with a specialty interest.
A Treasurer-Elect was created and will be elected one year before assuming the position of Treasurer for a three-year term. The Treasurer-Elect will be a non-voting member of the Board and the Finance Committee. The Board established qualifications for the position as part of its emphasis on knowledge, experience and interest rather than constituency for mem- bers in decision-making positions. This extends to the selection of Council and committee members, says Dr. Gelberman. The AAOS is planning to develop a database of members to identify people with knowledge in specific areas that might be needed for Council or committee positions.
The Board will be utilizing project teams of Board members to explore issues and make recommendations to the Board and will increase the responsibilities of the Councils and committees to assist the Board in making decisions.
The decision to revise the process of approving resolutions and Bylaws was designed to encourage greater participation of the members in the approval process and to make effective use of advances in technology. Under the recommended approach of the Boards Resolutions/Bylaws Project Team, chaired by Dr. Herndon, a minimum of 20 percent of the current membership would have to return ballots to legitimize the process.Fifty-one percent of that would be required to adopt resolutions and two-thirds will be required to adopt amendments to the Bylaws.
Voting would be done by written or electronic ballot shortly after the Annual Meeting.
"These changes will give us greater participation in the approval of resolutions and Bylaws" says Dr. Gelberman, "Now, we have less than 200 votes (at Business Meetings) on important issues out of more than 15,000 members. Thats an embarrassingly small percentage. There is a potential for making mistakes because not enough people are involved in the approval process.
"The change in the approval process will allow the AAOS to make more effective use of advances in technology; eventually all the voting will be online." In the future, Dr. Gelberman sees sending questionnaires electronically, allowing members to provide their thoughts on AAOS activities and programs.

Christianity (from the Greek: Χριστιανός Christianos and the Latin suffix -itas) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in canonical gospels and other New Testament writings. It also considers the Hebrew Bible, which is known as the Old Testament, to be canonical. Adherents of the Christian faith are known as Christians.
Christians generally believe Jesus is the Son of God, God having become human and the saviour of humanity. Because of this, Christians commonly refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah. Jesus' ministry, sacrificial death, and subsequent resurrection, are often referred to as the Gospel message ("good news"). In short, the Gospel is news of God the Father's eternal victory over evil, and the promise of salvation and eternal life for all people, through divine grace. Jesus stated that love is the greatest commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind [and] thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Worldwide the three largest groups of Christianity are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches, and the various denominations of Protestantism. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox patriarchates split from one another in the East–West Schism of 1054 AD, and Protestantism came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
Christianity began as a Jewish sect in the mid-1st century. Originating in the eastern Mediterranean coast of the Middle East (modern Israel and Palestine), it quickly spread to Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and Egypt. It grew in size and influence over a few decades, and by the 4th century had become the dominant religion within the Empire. During the Middle Ages, most of the remainder of Europe was Christianized, with Christians also being a sometimes large religious minority in the Middle East, North Africa, Ethiopia and parts of India. Following the Age of Discovery, through missionary work and colonization, Christianity spread to the Americas, Australasia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the rest of the world.
Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible, referred to as the "Old Testament" in Christianity. The foundation of Christian theology is expressed in the early Christian ecumenical creeds which contain claims predominantly accepted by followers of the Christian faith. These professions state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust him for the remission of their sins (salvation). They further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven where he rules and reigns with God the Father. Most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge all humans, living and dead, and grant eternal life to his followers. He is considered the model of a virtuous life, and both the revealer and physical incarnation of God. Christians call the message of Jesus Christ the Gospel ("good news") and generally adhere to the Ten Commandments.
Christianity has been an important part of the shaping of Western civilization, at least since the 4th century.
As of the early 21st century, Christianity has approximately 2.2 billion adherents. Christianity represents about a third of the world's population and is the world's largest religion. Christianity is the state religion of several countries. Among all Christians, 37.5% live in the Americas, 25.7% live in Europe, 22.5% live in Africa, 13.1% live in Asia, 1.2% live in Oceania and 0.9% live in the Middle East.

Ex-Oracle India MD Bhaskar Pramanik Is Microsoft India Chairman
Microsoft Inc today formally announced that Bhaskar Pramanik, who left his position as Managing Director, Oracle India on March 3, is the Chairman for Microsoft India. It was rumoured that he was to join Microsoft, following the exit of Ravi Venkatesan, the chairman and corporate vice president of Microsoft, in February.
"These are indeed very exciting times for the IT industry, as well as for India. And I am excited to be part of a company that has such a wide play across industries, segments, products and services. I look forward to partnering with the business leaders and the entire Microsoft team to grow our business in India and enable the success of all our stakeholders," said Pramanik, who joined Microsoft today. His responsibilities as Chairman of one of the world's largest IT companies include heading the company's sales, marketing and services businesses in India and a broad-level control of all its assets. He will also lead the company's 'citizenship agenda' in close alignment with India's national priorities, the company has said in a media release issued today.
Pramanik will report to Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft International. "Bhaskar comes to Microsoft with a strong reputation as a business leader and organization builder. His deep experience and understanding of the Indian IT industry will be critical to continuing to build our leadership in India, as well as enriching our relationships with customers, partners and government," said Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft International.
Pramanik was the Managing Director at Oracle India between April 2010 and March 2011. In a previous stint, he led Sun Microsystems for 13 years as its Managing Director in India and later on as its Global Vice President, Commercial Systems. Pramanik grew Sun Microsystems' business in India from under $20M to over $200M in six years and witnessed its employee strength growing from 24 to more than 1200 people. He is also active in industry bodies including NASSCOM, AMCHAM and CII.

Contact Atlanta recently had the opportunity to interview choreographer, Ursula Kendall-Johnson. A native of Atlanta, Ursula graduated from Tri Cities Performing Arts High School as a dance major. She went on to attend Dillard University in New Orleans where she worked as a dancer and choreographer. Ursula is the owner of Ursula Inc. and is the producer choreographer of "SHE Created It." She is involved with the Ailey Camp Atlanta which is sponsored by the Fox Theatre. She provided insight on how her experience with Ailey Camp Atlanta has been thus far.
"Ailey Camp Atlanta is very unique. It's a part of Ailey so therefore it has standards, a high level of standards and it's a part of outreach and community," said Johnson. She began as a group leader for two years at the camp then later was given the opportunity to teach. Ursula has been with Ailey Camp Atlanta for six years and four of those years were as a teacher. She teaches Jazz dance classes to 100 children each summer.
Throughout her childhood and career, Ursula has to deal with the fact that her skin is of a darker complexion than her counterparts. At times, this became a deciding factor of whether or not she received work. "I've dealt with being dark skinned. I've dealt with my inner beauty," said Johnson. "I got the talent but sometimes they were looking for a look and sometimes this look, I was just a shade too dark. I had to deal with not getting picked up because I was dark skinned." After getting turned away numerous of times, Ursula continued to go after her dreams. "At the end of the day, I realized I know what I am worth and it's your loss if you don't want to incorporate me in your world but I appreciate you giving me the opportunity," said Ursula Kendall-Johnson.
When asked about previous projects, Ursula has worked in six movies spanning from Tyler Perry films to Disney's Stuck in the Suburbs. Also, she was given the opportunity to work on Fantasia Barrino's Back to Me tour. Ursula choreographed the filmed introduction of the tour which displayed swing dance, in particular the Lindy Hop and the Charleston. She is currently working with the Nichole "Nicci" Gilbert, former member of the group Brownstone.
Johnson said, "I try to set myself up in all types of arts. I like art period, even though my specialty and aesthetic is dance. I love seeing work. I love to model. I love to act. I love to dance. I love to teach. I love to choreograph." Ursula described herself as a connoisseur of learning.

About the Workshop
Never before have educational leaders in California been provided such an opportunity to leverage our state funding for the programs and services that we value the most at the local level. Most of the categorical programs of the past have been combined into supplemental/concentration grants that can have broad application to support our children with the greatest needs. And, after several years of significant funding increases, today's decisions are even more critical as revenues are projected to flatten and resources for ongoing programs are likely to become more scarce.
The leaders who have the greatest success with this model are the ones who best understand its challenges and opportunities. The purpose of this workshop is to take the complexities of school finance and distill them so that superintendents and other top administrators of local educational agencies (LEAs) can use financial information for improved policy decisions. With many decades of experience in school agency finance and governance, top experts from the Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) and School Services of California, Inc., (SSC) have teamed up to bring this must-attend event for school agency nonfinancial administrators.
Workshop Content
The format of this three-hour workshop is specifically designed for superintendents and top administrators to focus on the critical aspects of understanding your LEA's finances in order to improve policy decision making.
Topics include:
A planning and budget development cycle that fosters the connection from educational goals and strategies in the Local Control and Accountability Plan to budget items
Determining a healthy reserve and communicating about reserves to stakeholders
Understanding multiyear financial projections and evaluating your financial status
How to plan for staffing needs and the budget impact of staffing decisions
Using a fair share approach to collective bargaining
Monitoring and controlling the budget to avoid surprises
Best observed practices in school financial management and how to stay out of trouble

Joint meeting with Commissioners and School Board to focus on education and workforce
Release Date: April 28, 2011
EUSTIS — The Lake County Board of County Commissioners and School Board will be holding a joint meeting on Thursday, May 5, from 1 to 3 p.m. to discuss education and workforce resources and initiatives as part of the County's Economic Action Plan. The meeting will take place at Lake Technical Center's Eustis campus, located at 2001 Kurt St.
The public is invited to attend the meeting, which is slated as a continuation of the Economic Action Workshops held in February and March.
The meeting will include a presentation from Lake County Schools about Career & Technical Education programs in high schools and Lake Technical Center. The two Boards will also look at goals related to education and workforce needs.
Following the meeting, the School Board will host a "Career & Technical Education After Hours," which features a panel discussion focused on the importance of workforce development from local businesses. The event will also include live music, free hors d'oeuvres and demonstrations from some of Lake County Schools career academies and Lake Technical Center programs.
In March, the County unveiled its Economic Action Plan as a tool to help promote economic growth in the community. The Plan was developed with input from businesses and residents, and looked at ways to promote Lake County as a business-friendly community.
One of the goals as part of the Plan is to "Assure that we have an available and well-prepared workforce for existing, emerging and prospective businesses, and collaborate with Lake County educators to meet workforce needs and achieve educational excellence."
The County is still in the process of actively seeking suggestions from the community for ways to grow business in Lake County. For details on how to submit suggestions, visit the Lake County website at www.lakecountyfl.gov/businessideas.

I'm rapidly discovering that the problem with making things for your own baby is that you know that however it turns out you only have two options; (a) bin it/ frog it and deny all knowledge or (b) love it and live with it. Suddenly it's no longer enough to make a cute baby cardigan, it has to be the best and the most wonderful baby cardigan EVER, otherwise it clearly won't be worthy of dressing what will no doubt be (at least in the minds of its parents, grandparents and great-granny) the most wonderful baby ever to be born, and the same goes for anything else that I make.
I know it doesn't really matter how something turns out because in reality, the baby won't care as long as it is warm, dry, cuddled and well fed, H and I will be too sleep deprived to really care as long as the baby is actually dressed, and our parents will be too polite/know me too well to say anything!
However, in my ongoing search for the cutest ever baby makes, I discovered an American website called Sew Baby, who do E-patterns for bibs, booties and all sorts of little things (hurray no postage), so yesterday afternoon my desk looked like this:
Actually it still looks quite a lot like that, I'm not the tidiest of sewers!
And what was I making? Well, may I introduce:
All three from the one pattern, Animal Soft Blocks, by Precious Patterns
I bought needlecord for the ears or gator eyes as John Lewis in Solihull didn't have fleece in quite the right colours and I think it works pretty well. I've orientated the ears so that they stroke outward because that seemed like it might be fun for little hands.
They've actually got quite a nice variety of texture in each block; the body of the block is cotton quilting prints from the stash (I know that Gator has Amy Butler spots and a Kaffe Fassett print body, and the elephants on the giraffe came from the African Textile stand at the NEC quilt show two years ago, but beyond that I've no idea), the gator teeth and giraffe horns are silky ribbon, and the eyes and noses are DMC embroidery thread.
At the moment we have no idea what the Baby Bear thinks of them – actually I did get sick cleaning the bathroom this morning but hopefully that just means that the baby doesn't like cleaning bathrooms which is completely understandable – but H thinks they're good, and I think they're cute so they've had a bin-bag reprieve. Now all I need is a nursery to put them in!

The | character is used in regular expressions to search on what is entered before or after the sign.
But you can't just search for 12|25 because the text (or numbers) could equally occur in combinations like 123, 255, 312, etc.

About colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer can also be referred to as bowel cancer, cancer of the colon or rectum (rectal cancer), depending on where the cancer starts.
The bowel is divided into the small bowel (small intestine) and the large bowel (colon and rectum). Most colorectal cancers develop in the innermost lining of the bowel and develop from small growths called polyps.
The Trust provides a screening, diagnostic and specific treatment service for colorectal cancer patients.
Types of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer can develop in different areas of the digestive system:
- the large bowel (colon) – colon cancer forms when uncontrolled cell growth begins within the cells in the large intestine
- the back passage (rectal) – rectal cancer forms when uncontrolled cell growth begins within the rectal passage leading to the anus
Rarer types of colorectal cancer
- anal – is a rare type of cancer that affects the very end of the large bowel (large intestine)
- small bowel – cancer affecting the small intestine, or small bowel, which lies between the stomach and the colon, or large bowel
The Trust offers rapid advice, diagnosis and treatment to patients displaying symptoms of a colorectal cancer and has a specialist team that will see you from referral from a GP or bowel screening service to diagnose and treat your colorectal cancer.
Our Cancer Services team is here to support you every step of the way.
This colorectal cancer section on our website takes you through your colorectal cancer pathway within the Trust and provides you with the information and support you will need throughout your journey.

Bluecoat Wollaton is hugely ambitious for its students and, as stated in the Principal's Welcome to this site, we hope to both transform lives and to enable our students to access the best universities in the country.
At Bluecoat Wollaton Academy we have students from Year7 until the end of their GCSEs in Y11 but the expectation is that the vast majority of our learners will continue from Wollaton to our Sixth Form based at Bluecoat Aspley and, as an Academy Trust, we will always prioritise students from within the trust to gain places ahead of external applicants. The journey is very much a seven-year partnership for those at Wollaton.
Bluecoat Academy's Sixth Form is a diverse and comprehensive Sixth Form situated on Aspley Lane in the city of Nottingham. We are a large Sixth Form of nearing 500 students, offering level 2 and 3 academic and vocational courses; this includes a range of 25+ A level subjects.
The Sixth Form has seen significant growth in student numbers in recent years alongside consistent and significant improvement in standards of attainment. This growth in student numbers has been achieved by retaining nearly 75% of Bluecoat Academy Year 11 students whilst also seeing a significant increase in applications from students from other schools, colleges and academies.

Want to eat breakfast every day? Want to stop munching while you watch TV? Want shoppers to add fabric softener every time they do laundry or pull out their phone to pay for something at a store? How long do you think it takes for new behaviors to become automatic? Conventional wisdom says it takes 21 days – but that's wrong. A 2009 study at University College London found that the average time it took to form a habit was 66 days.
If we are trying to generate sustainable changes in shopper behavior, how can we set the context and cue for that behavior and repeat over time? #MarsTalk

To the Editor;
Re: Several issues that our politicians need to work on.
One: Our Federal Minister of Justice proposes to cure the problem of intoxicated drivers by lowering the legal limit from 80 milligrams to 50 milligrams. Not going to work. Why? Despite all the warnings about drinking and driving, intoxicated drivers are killing, on average, 4 Canadians per day and injuring at least 100 more.
I have written to my MLA Nathan Cooper and to my MP Kevin Sorenson before about this issue. Until the penalties are severe enough, intoxicated drivers will continue to drive. My solution: Drivers under the influence of drugs, alcohol or both should receive 10 years in prison for each person they kill, and five years in prison for each person they injure.
Seems harsh? Talk to the victims' families about it. Talk to the police officers, EMS personnel, doctors, nurses, and social workers who have to deal with the effects of these tragic incidents.
Two: Canada selling weapons to the Saudis. The Liberals sold $15 billion of military hardware to the Saudis, a country with a terrible human rights records towards women, Shias, and other minorities.
However, it was the Harper (Conservatives) gov't who initially proposed selling weapons to the Saudis, and Justin Trudeau promised to kill the sale. So much for promises, eh?
The Liberals promised to kill the F-35 fighter program (Lockheed Martin) which the Harper government had initially agreed to purchase. Again promises, and we the taxpayers still don't know how much Canada has kicked in to finance this aircraft. It has become the most expensive military weapon system in history, and the costs keep climbing. Why are we supporting a US company that is producing "a lemon", an over expensive piece of junk?
Three: Liberals and Conservatives are very good at spending our money.
For example, both have donated/loaned money to Bombardier, and both have loaned/donated money to the Aga Khan, a multibillionaire who owns his own island in the Caribbean. Why?
I believe that our politician should be working together to solve the many issues that are affecting our society (ever increasing personal debt, especially among seniors; foreign takeover of our businesses, our property, and our farms; closing the tax loopholes that allow the wealthiest members of our society to avoid paying their fair share in taxes (re: The Panama Papers); pay equity for women; drunk drivers; our changing economy, like robots taking the place of human workers; diversifying our economy and less dependency on oil; less on trade with the Americans; funding private businesses; funding private schools (did Albertans vote on this matter?); aid to foreign countries with dubious human right records; countries who finance "proxy wars" in the Middle East; etc.
Instead our politicians waste time on "wedge issues" (Omar Khadr; Sikh turbans; Muslim refugees; American refugees; the Pill; abortions; restrooms; gays, etc.) Remember the flag debates of the 1960s? Did Canada go to Hades because it adopted the Maple Leaf? Remember the way Japanese-Canadians were treated in the 1940s? Why? Did they really help Japan? How about the rejection of Jewish refugees in the 1930s? Why? How about the "Yellow Peril" in the early 1900s? (anti- Chinese hysteria)? Why? How about the women's rights to vote and to hold political office (women are too emotional; women are not smart enough; women are not tough enough; women will destroy the family; society will cease to exist; the moral fibre of women will decline; etc.)?
Did Canada cease to exist because it took on these issues? Can we imagine the suffering and the hardships our parents and grandparents had to endure from the early 1900s to the 1940s (WW I, The Great Depression, The Dirty Thirties, and WW II)?
We should stop "playing politics". In my humble opinion.
George E. Thatcher

|The Orgelpark focuses on improvisation
Het ORGEL 104 (2009), nr. 2, xx-xx [summary]
On 7 and 8 November, 2008, the Orgelpark in Amsterdam presented its 'Research Program', a series of internationally oriented scholarly projects. The first project is 'improvisation'. This subject was chosen because research about improvisation in Western Music is relatively scarce. And i fit does gain the attention of musicologists, the important position of improvisation within international organ culture is usually neglected. A research team, in which researchers from various conservatoria and universities will collaborate, will study the phenomenon 'improvisation' from music-historical, performance-practical and philosophical/esthetic angles.

Navigating HIV Treatment in Toronto
Radha Subramaniam
People with HIV infection are often confronted with vital questions like these and are looking for answers that offer hope and encourage them to look beyond their condition. If you are one of those looking for answers, and you live in Toronto or Ontario, here are some things you should look into:
A Physician who has experience in dealing with HIV infection. Family Physicians generally refer an
HIV specialist
or you can use
this link
and find a clinic that specializes in STD'S.
Psychologist for counselling (you can find one using
Hospitals, home care and emergency medical services
Insurance coverage and
drug cost reimbursement
Antiretroviral drugs are the foremost of treatments for HIV patients. They help to slow the growth of the virus, stop it from multiplying and thereby lower the amount of virus in the blood. Doctors usually recommend a combination of drugs as each one attacks the virus differently and the end result is more effective.
Antiretroviral drugs
are expensive and a recurring cost. A monthly supply of combination ARV medications can cost anywhere between $1100 to $1600. Apart from these medications depending on your condition you might have to take immunity boosters and vitamin supplements which add to the expense.
does not cover the cost of prescription medication unless you are undergoing treatment in a hospital. However, there are alternate sources like
Ontario Drug Benefit
The Trillium Drug Programs and Private Insurance plans
(through your employer) that help cover drug costs for HIV. In addition to these, HIV clinics in hospitals, foundations like
(People with AIDS) in Toronto and HIV primary care physicians can assist you with applying for PAP (Patient Assistant Programs) where the pharmaceutical company provides the HIV medication under compassion access.
free drug supply
can last from one to three months at a given time, depending on your dosage. Unlike the medication, a combination method does not apply for drug reimbursement. Eligibility criteria is determined by individual circumstances, drug coverage system and treatment medications. Some of them require you to pay a deductible or a co pay and take care of any shortfall from the coverage. For more information on these programs, click
There are 17 HIV clinics in Ontario, some of which also offer multi-faceted services such as pediatric and psychiatric care and services for the homeless. Your
local community health center
can assist you with finding one.
ACT, Toronto
, has treatment programs, home care assistance and awareness sessions. ACT is located in downtown Toronto and has a
list of HIV specialists
you can consult. They have
free counselling sessions
for patients and their partners/families as everyone connected with the patient is impacted. You can schedule for a session (Monday through Friday) by calling 416-340-2437 or use
this link
and register for a drop in session. There are volunteers from insurance companies who can help clarify questions related to insurance benefits and coverage. You can also participate in their facilitated group discussions and learn more about the social, emotional, physical and financial effects of HIV. These sessions are organized at regular intervals and are open to all people living with HIV.
If you are looking for a residence program,
Casey House
(9 Huntley St., Toronto) offers free inpatient, home care and outreach programs for those in the
advanced stages of HIV/AIDS
. They provide round the clock medical and nursing care. They also have counselling programs on AIDS awareness, nutrition and self-care.
Fife House
(490 Sherbourne St., 2nd Floor, Toronto) runs a secure and affordable housing service and volunteer-based in-home hospice care for those living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto.
is excellent resource for information on health complications related to HIV, like opportunistic infections and substance abuse. It also provides an insight into the latest and emerging treatments for HIV in Canada.
People with HIV are sometimes reluctant to disclose their condition to family and friends. While the choice of when and whom to disclose is exclusively yours remember it helps to have a
support system
. Share your feelings with family, loved ones, your doctor, or a professional counselor. Monitor your condition, keep all your appointments with your doctor and take the recommended medications meticulously.
Living with HIV can be huge challenge but remain positive. With the advances in medical care, early diagnosis, medical intervention and the increase in awareness, people with HIV no longer succumb to their condition easily. Let the goal of your HIV care be to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

eh… I just couldn't bring myself to say "time flies". But that's the essence of what I am thinking right now.
Right now… see? Another implication of "time". hohoho
Recently I realized that I'd neglected to announce that I've added 2 links to the Pro-Reason section of this blog:
*Christopher Schlegel (a very knowledgeable and talented musician, inspiring as an artist!)
*American Renaissance (Steven Brockerman, very interesting intellectual blog)
Before it gets too warm to play in the garden, I will be heading out to kill aphids, ants, and avoid snakes. Today we expect temperatures to reach around 90 and there hasn't been a hint of rain for weeks. Certainly this hurricane season will make up for that, so I won't complain.

Versace luxury mobile phone to arrive this May; likely to sport a heavy tag
Fashion Street will have a new luxury addition of the technology kind by the time Spring dawns this year. Versace mobile? Yes, the Milan-based fashion label is already into it and has started designing the handset. When it releases this May, the Versace branded mobile phone is sure to be lapped up by all those fashion conscious people out there.
Being designed by Donatella Versace, the new fashion accessory handset will be rolled out in collaboration with French firm ModeLabs Group SA. The fashion house is fast readying the handset so that it could be shown off on the ramp for the first time to select clients at a private showing during Paris Haute Couture week later this month. It is expected that ModeLabs would continue supplying Operating System upgrades to customers of the luxury brand cell, post building of the device too.
Wonder what price the new luxury mobile device from the fashion house would sell for? We are trying to have a peek at the price tag, but it seems Versace hasn't decided on the pricing either. We may have to wait. The grapevine tells us that the Versace mobile might cost more than the similar devices other fashion houses had rolled out earlier. If you would remember,
Christian Dior had brought its cell phone to the market for €3,500 ($5,000) a year ago. Expect a heftier price tag for the Versace mobile device.

How do you correct your walking or running mechanics?

Presented here is a theoretical analysis of the recently developed thermal pulse decay (TPD) method for a simultaneous measurement of local tissue conductivity and blood perfusion rate. The paper describes the theoretical model upon which the TPD method is based and details its capabilities and limitations. The theoretical aspects that affected the development of the measurement protocol are also discussed. The performance of the method is demonstrated with an experimental example which compares the measurements of local kidney blood perfusion rates made using the TPD method with the total renal blood flow obtained coincidentally using a blood flowmeter, in an anesthetized dog.

Conferences & Symposia
Call for Participation: Nancy Holt Scholar's Day
Type: Conferences & Symposia [View all]
Posted by: Dia Art Foundation
Deadline: Mon, October 15th, 2018
Dia Art Foundation seeks participants for a scholar's day devoted to Nancy Holt (1938–2014) taking place on Monday, February 11, 2019.
Holt's five-decade-long practice included work in art, architecture, and time-based media, which involved singular meditations on interior and exterior environments. Holt is well-known for her iconic Sun Tunnels (1973–76), a pioneering work of Land art located in the Great Basin Desert in northwestern Utah. Dia acquired Sun Tunnelsin spring 2018, the first work of Land art by a woman to enter Dia's collection. Alongside her many public commissions, land reclamation projects, and other outdoor works, Holt made artists' books, audio works, concrete poetry, film, photographs, installations, and videos. On September 15, 2018, Dia will open an exhibition of Holt's room-sized light installations Holes of Light (1973) and Mirrors of Light I (1974), and two works from her Locator series, Dual Locators (1972) and Locator with Spotlight and Sunlight (1972). Ideas developed while making these works led to the creation of Sun Tunnels.
On the occasion of the acquisition of Sun Tunnelsand the exhibition, the scholar's day aims to recognize Nancy Holt's singular understanding of location, experience, and site-specificity in critical relationship to the art of her generation, while also underscoring her import to contemporary art and artists. The selected participants will have the chance to attend presentations by leading scholars that will focus on a single work or series by the artist. This will allow participants to further their own understanding of Holt's body of works and to participate in discussions with their peers.
We invite applications from graduate students and emerging curators and scholars (no more than 7 years of work experience and/or untenured faculty) from a wide variety of fields, including, but not limited to, architecture, art history, environmental studies, geography, history of science, literature, philosophy, and performance studies, among others. Participants will be chosen based on research interests that pertain to Holt and her expanded practice.
In addition to the exhibition and the scholar's day, participants will have the opportunity to attend a full weekend of public programs devoted to Holt's work. On Saturday, February 9, a full-day symposium on Holt will focus on Sun Tunnels as a primary point of departure to consider defining features of Holt's practice, including site-specificity, material conditions of visual perception, universal time, engagement with the built and natural environment, and emphasis on experiential forms of viewership.
Applications should consist of a single PDF file containing the following:
+ participant's name, email address, and institutional affiliation
+ one-page CV
+ abstract of no more than 250 words that outlines research interests pertaining to Nancy Holt
Send applications to: Geneviève Marcil, Research Assistant, Dia Art Foundation, email@example.com.
Applications must be received by 5 p.m EST. on Monday, October 15, 2018.
Announcement of accepted participants will be made by email in November 2018. Dia will provide partial funding to a limited number of participants traveling from outside of the Northeastern United States. Please indicate the need for funding in your application.
Posted on Tue, September 11th, 2018
Expires on Mon, October 15th, 2018
CAA is not responsible for the content of listings in the Opportunities section. All postings are subject to review; inappropriate submissions will not be published.
