This used to be my playground
During half-term I met a friend for coffee in a café on the far side of a nearby park. Walking through the park to meet her, I passed the play park that used to be my regular haunt when the girls were just a little smaller. As I walked round the perimeter heading towards the café, I glanced across at the children and parents climbing and hiding and shouting and laughing and my head was filled with memories of the times I spent there with my own children.
My very first solo walk with my tiny, fragile new born in the gaudy green-checked pram we were kindly gifted from a friend was in that very park and my memory of circling the play park with my heart in my mouth tempting myself to believe that I really was taking a walk in the park with my very own baby, just like a real parent, is still so vivid. I still have the large reddish brown leaf picked up from the path as a memento to place in my baby's box of memories as a reminder of our very first outing (I started out with good intentions at least, although this habit of collecting keepsakes did not last much past her first birthday, and my second daughter was lucky if I managed to keep her birth certificate somewhere safe!).
As soon as Ana was old enough to sit in a swing, I made this play park my home from home. I quickly discovered that a visit to the park with a 6 month old was not a significant time filler and, after 20 minutes maximum in the toddler swings, we were pretty much all-parked out and ready to move on to the next brief activity, but as she got bigger and began to venture onto the slides, this park became as much part of our routine as tea and cake with friends (and distinctly healthier!).
Many a Saturday morning was spent with Ana, and later her baby sister too, crossing the park to visit the library before wandering round between the climbing frames braving the chilly winds or enjoying the sunshine depending on the season.
Many a day in the summer holidays was spent packing up a picnic and heading to the park to meet with friends and spend a few hours enjoying the luxury of free fun, fresh air and green space offered by a city park.
Many an afternoon was spent standing below the monkey bars waiting to catch a falling child or just to be there as a security blanket as they demonstrated their considerable muscular superiority over their puny mother!
And so, last week, as I walked past the play park, I remembered with fondness the part it has played in our lives. Its role is not quite over for us: at 7 and 9 the girls have not yet outgrown the park and we still visit reasonably frequently and still will for some time I imagine, but the days when it figured as the centre point of our entertainment schedule are fading now.
Much like the rest of parenting, I realised that afternoon that we only really appreciate things when they are soon to be gone. I'll be the first to admit that I spent many days shivering in that park and wishing I was at home in my nice warm house; I spent many hours cursing as I was begged and cajoled to run round the edge of the lopsided circular tyre shape that has replaced the roundabout in many modern parks but is frustratingly difficult to manoeuvre without scraping your limbs on the floor; I have spent many trips to that very park attempting to find a secluded spot behind a tree for one or other of my daughters to pee because there were no nearby public toilets.
At the time, I did not relish any of these things, but now – when I see my play park years drawing to a close – I rush to cherish those memories, to box them up and hold them close and chide myself to remember the times when this used to be my playground.
I can see clearly now…
As with most things in my parenting career, we begin with a mother who is slightly more self-absorbed than she really should be. Feeling very pleased with my published article in the back to school issue of Families Magazine, I spent some time reading and re-reading my article and swelling with pride. During one of my many read-throughs, I managed to glance at the article next to mine, which was on the importance of taking your children for regular eye-checks. 'Drat!' I thought to myself. 'I meant to do that last year!' Resolving to take my parenting job more seriously, I took on board the very sensible advice in the article and booked an eye test for both my children for the very next week.
Our first appointment made me wonder if we really were the only family who appeared to make the job of all health care professionals as difficult as we could possibly manage:
Early on, we required reinforcements to be brought in when Ana found it impossible to keep still whilst having her eye examined on the impressive looking 'big eye machine' and required much coaxing and cajoling from two separate opticians in order to remain still long enough to get any meaningful results.
Moving to the examination room, I cheerily answered the questions regarding my children's eye sight with assurances that 'No.' they had never shown any signs of sight problems and that this was just a routine check. However, when Faith began the test proper and started identifying the letters, numbers and pictures she could see on the screen, it very quickly became apparent, even to the untrained observer (i.e. me) that she was really not doing as well as one might expect of someone with no sight problems. As the task continued, I started to wonder if maybe she had shown signs and I had just failed to notice them. It was true that she was quite clumsy and did walk into things on many occasions, but then that is also true of me and appears to be completely down to poor co-ordination and a general lack of awareness! Maybe – I started to ponder – she actually had shown signs of squinting at things and I had just interpreted this as one of her many eccentricities (and believe me, there really are many!).
The optician began to identify the apparent issues: neither eye was great, but one was significantly under par – a lazy eye that needed dealing with pretty sharpish if we were to avoid serious problems in the future. As I sat nodding my head in shamefaced silence, the realisation that I had failed to identify a significant health issue in my youngest daughter slowly dawning on me, Faith was busy driving the optician to distraction. Twenty minutes in and she was clearly fed up of the whole process. She start shifting around and moving the glasses off her nose to scratch underneath, causing them to fall to the floor on more than one occasion. The optician persisted, making encouraging comments from time to time in an attempt to keep her focused, but it was no good. Any initial curiosity had faded and now – getting on for 40 minutes after we had arrived in the shop -Faith had reached saturation point. The lovely optician quickly realised this and decided to move on to Ana, but by this time we were about 20 minutes away from closing time and I think we all knew we were flogging a dead horse. So we cut our losses and made a new appointment for a fortnight later when we would finally get to grips with who needed what intervention.
So two weeks later, when we had all adjusted to the news and Faith had started to get excited by the prospect of wearing glasses, we headed back for our rearranged appointment, blissfully unaware that it would be a full two and a half hours before we would be leaving again! After a friendly welcome from our new optician friend, things started to go downhill quite quickly. Both children were to have eye drops to help with their eye exam and we were warned that this would sting. Clearly, I should have reciprocated this warning to the effect that my children really did not do pain or discomfort with anything approaching stoicism (http://motherinferiorblog.com/2014/07/26/keep-that-nurse-away-from-me/). First up was Ana and after a good 10 minutes wrangling, including extra support and comfort from me, she finally had eye drops in both eyes and was reluctantly proceeding with her test.
Once it was confirmed that there were no major problems here, it was back to Faith and straight away we hit a stumbling block: having witnessed her sister's objections to the drops (and not being of a naturally compliant nature in the first place), Faith was not eager to get the job done. Twenty minutes later and I am guessing the optician was wishing she had chosen a career path that avoided children in all forms because no-one was having fun as we attempted to wrestle Faith into submission and get the wretched drops actually in her eye. Once again, I wondered to myself whether all families really could create this much havoc everywhere they went or whether we were just particularly skilled in this regard.
To cut a very long (remember the two and a half hours) story short, we managed (just about) to squirt at least some of the magic drops in Faith's eye before being sent away to wander round the shops for 20 minutes for them to take effect. Using the time wisely to search for potential Christmas presents, the girls soon discovered that the drops did have the professed effect in blurring their vision and they took a macabre pleasure in trying – and failing – to read the small print on the back of boxes.
Thus rejuvenated, we returned to the torture chamber opticians to finally complete our epic adventure. Ana's was straightforward with a slight prescription, but nothing requiring treatment or glasses. Faith's (naturally) was more of a challenge and eventually (possibly in a desperate attempt to finally be rid of us!) the optician completed her work and Faith had a prescription.
Of course, we were not done (oh no!) as we now had to choose two pairs of glasses. Being a bit of a soft-touch (and quite frankly, by this point, wanting anything for an easy life!) I told Faith that she could choose one special pair (with extra cost) and one plain pair (for free). It will not surprise you to discover that the lovely purple Converse glasses she chose turned out to be too big and needed 20 minutes of careful manipulation (checking – going back to adjust – checking – going back to adjust – checking…… you get the picture) before FINALLY we were able to pay and escape at 5.50pm, having arrived bright-eyed and bushy tailed for our 3.20pm appointment all those hours ago.
And the moral of this story?
Well, there are many:
- The sensible advice about eye tests: please make sure you take your children for regular eye tests as I am clear evidence of the fact that you may well not notice their sight problems in the course of everyday life.
- The advice for parents of younger children: get them in training early to be able to sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time.
- The advice for opticians: if you see my children heading your way – run!
- The advice for similarly harassed mothers: persuade someone else to take them for their sight test to avoid the embarrassment, annoyance and generally energy-sapping trauma of the whole thing!
Look at her! Butter wouldn't melt! Don't be fooled for a second by that innocent face!
Holding your nerve
Many of my recent posts have been about not knowing what the best course of action is in managing my children's behaviour.
But say I have decided on a course of action and am pretty happy it is the right thing at that time, even then it is not always so easy to see it through. There are many reasons why I might consider bailing on my plan of action. Here are just a few of those reasons and the resulting effects on my actions:
1) Laziness and selfishness – Two weeks ago, after a particularly explosive weekend of anger and irritability (Ana's rather than mine) I found myself handing out the rather hefty consequence of a week-long TV and internet ban for my errant 9 year old. Very quickly she – and I – realised that a week is a surprisingly long time when you have no recourse to the calming, soporific influence of the TV. Having made it through the school week without reneging on my ban, we arrived at the weekend and things started to get more challenging. On Saturday afternoon, when Mike and Faith had gone into town, Ana and I were left to mooch around doing our own thing. I sat down to some marking and Ana had homework to do. I was keen to have some background TV to lessen the trauma of an afternoon's marking, but what about the ban?! Would I:
a) Sacrifice my own TV viewing to stick to the ban: selfless and unlikely.
b) Banish Ana from the living room so that I could watch TV alone: harsh even for me!
c) Make up an implausible story that gets me out of the ban whilst pretending it is still in place: genius – I'm in!
And so, I found myself telling Ana that she was not really watching the TV. I was. She just happened to be in the same room.
Outcome? BAILED.
2) Being worried about the views of others – Last weekend we met up with friends to go for a peaceful countryside walk.
Ha ha!
I have been walking with my children enough times to know in advance that 'peaceful' is about as far from the reality of their version of a countryside walk as you can get. As we began trudging up the hill in the mud, you could almost sense the woodland animals running for cover to escape the screeching laughter. We continued in this vein until we reached the top of the hill, by which time Faith – tired and cold – had had enough. After a tussle in a muddy puddle with Ana, she was well and truly finished and began screaming as if she were being stabbed with a hot poker.
Now, I had adopted my usual strategy of walking away and leaving her to it, sure in the knowledge that EVENTUALLY she would give in and catch up with us. However, I hadn't accounted for the arrival of a group of walkers heading towards Faith, with me far in the distance.
I hesitated momentarily, but my fear that the walkers would a) assume something terrible was wrong with Faith and worry (her screaming did definitely suggest this might be the case!) and/or b) think I was a bad parent for abandoning her; made me turn back and run to rescue her.
Outcome? BAILED.
3) Being worried about the neighbours – On Thursday, both my children in turn decided to have a catastrophic meltdown involving significant shouting, door banging and rivers of tears. In Faith's case, this went on…..and on…….and on…….and got progressively louder and louder.
I – quite unusually – remained calm in my attempts to deal with her torrent of emotional outpourings, but when my normally laid-back and very friendly next-door neighbour banged on the wall, even I started to think I might need to change my tactic.
This time though, in the safety of my own home, and confident that no other strategy was going to calm her any quicker, I stuck to my guns and waited it out.
Outcome: HELD MY NERVE! Go me!
Postscript: I bumped into my neighbour at the weekend and apologised for the outburst. He initially feigned a lack of awareness about any specific incident, but as I struggled to recall which day it had been, he quickly came to my aid and reminded me – rather too quickly – that it had been Thursday evening…so possibly slightly more noticeable than he may have suggested. Oh dear.
Maybe next time I need to bail on the home front in order to save my friendly relationship with the neighbours and choose to hold my nerve when around people I actually won't ever see again (like on that hill!). Either that, or I need to invest in some soundproofing for my kitchen – and quickly!
You are the sunshine of my life.
I freely admit that many of the aspects of parenting that others seem to derive pleasure from are actually a source of irritation and inconvenience to me and this, in part, was my motivation behind starting this blog. I sometimes question whether I am really cut out for parenthood when I turn down invitations to 'Sing-a-long Frozen' without a moment's hesitation (on the basis that I have no desire to sit through it, regardless of whether my children might wish to!) and did not even consider pulling out of my end-of-term social with work colleagues even when it became apparent that my attendance there would prohibit Ana from attending a choir concert.
I know these cold hard facts make me look bad. I realise that some people may wonder why I had children if I am so unwilling to sacrifice my fun for the sake of theirs, but I hold fast to the idea that a happy parent maketh a happy child (I added the 'th' to make it sound like an ancient decree, but I did – admittedly – make that up to suit my own ends!).
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to point out that – whilst at times it may seem as if I don't care – my children are, in reality, the absolute best things in my life and I never failed to be amazed by the fact of their existence. I have daily moments in which I stare in disbelief at these little people who have found their way into my world and I wonder at the miracle of it all.
As my girls get older, I think I feel this even more keenly. I have written before about the strangeness of seeing my children as little people who think and act differently to me, but I never fail to find this both wonderful and terrifying. The more they grow, the more they start to become uniquely themselves and say and do things that are new to me. They are now more than just a reflection of their parents or even their peers. They are developing their own sense of humour; their own mannerisms; their own style. I find myself wanting to both freeze these moments in time and simultaneously fast forward life to see what they are still to become.
In amongst all of this is my amazement that I have a role in their lives. The privilege of parenting is something I may mock, but I honestly do not take it for granted. I frequently gaze at my two girls and wonder at the good fortune that has brought them into my life. In the words of the great Stevie Wonder, they really are 'the sunshine of my life' and even on the rainiest days, this remains the constant thread.
I will continue to complain, and shout and tear my hair out when they drive me mad. I may even continue to make decisions that favour my enjoyment over theirs, but I know, and (more importantly) they know, that they are my world …. and my sunshine.
Keep that nurse away from me!
My youngest daughter has developed a phobia of medical professionals. It doesn't matter how many in depth conversations we have with her about the fact that they are they to help people, her mind has been made up: they are out to hurt her.
I know exactly where this stems from. I remember the moment well: her preschool jabs. Much as we all hate the idea of taking our tiny babies to have their injections at 8, 12 and 16 weeks, in our case at least, this ultimately proved to be a reasonably painless affair. A brief temperature spike maybe, but nothing that a bit of Calpol wouldn't solve. Crucially, babies at this age (again, maybe just mine) have the memory of a goldfish and are rarely emotionally scarred by the experience. Not so for 3 year olds.
3 year olds are move savvy. In Faith's case, her preschool jabs went like this:
Go to doctors.
Wait to see the nurse.
Listen to her comforting chatter and her reassurance that it won't hurt because it's 'just a scratch'.
Be jolted into righteous indignation on being injected and discovering that yes, it did hurt (albeit momentarily) and therefore, this nurse just conned you.
Never forget and never forgive.
I am not sure when and how Faith came to put such importance on other people's honesty (it certainly it doesn't appear to go the other way and she is more than happy to con, manipulate and tell little white lies herself), but she does not take kindly to feeling like she has been misled. If you tell her, for example, that it is supposed to be sunny in the morning and she probably can wear the summer dress she has picked out, then woe betide you if the rain falls the next day. This change of circumstance will be a source of considerable irritation to Faith, leading to aggrieved complaints that you have 'tricked' her followed by a sulky silence in protest at your dishonesty.
If we now re-visit the preschool jabs incident, it may be a little clearer why this event proved such a game changer in Faith's mind. From her perspective, the nurse had intentionally lulled her into a false sense of security before callously stabbing her in the arm. No amount of friendly chatter after the event, or even compensatory chocolate buttons provided by yours truly was going to make up for this blatant deception. The medical profession had duped her once, but Faith would not let them do so again.
And so began years of 'doctor phobia' where the merest hint of injury would instigate panicked cries of "Don't take me to the doctors!"
When Faith started school and began attending her new child-minder, I could only be grateful that she was not the first of my children to be in her care given that Faith's frantic cries of "don't tell Mummy!" when she fell, bumped into things, or hurt herself in some way would otherwise have surely led to a quick referral to Social Services!
Aware that this situation would cause considerable problems if Faith ever had real need of medical attention, I decided to implement a plan of action to convince her that doctors and nurses are actually very nice people. One week, as I pondered how best to do this, I had a light bulb moment. My brilliant plan, based on 11 years of Psychology teaching, was to take Faith to watch me give blood, thereby curing her of her phobia of doctors (particularly those wielding needles that they might stab in her arm). Genius!
It wasn't long into our 40 minute wait at 7.30pm in a busy church hall that I started to wonder if this really had been my best idea yet. Faith was tired after a day at school and tiredness, in this particular child, seems to induce mania. She bounced around, asking odd, incoherent questions of anyone who would listen and when we finally made it to the blood donation beds, produced her pièce de résistance. As the nurse instructed me to lay down on the bed, Faith piped up and declared 'Don't worry, Mummy. You just have to close your eyes and think about Jesus' at which the lady putting the needle in my arm collapsed in giggles and I tried to look as far from being a Christian fundamentalist as possible!
After this adventure, things did appear calmer, but when doctors are mentioned, Faith's old mistrust still surfaces even now 3 years on from 'jab-gate'. I can only hope that, with time, this resentment will slip from her memory and the medical profession will attain their proper place in the mind of my youngest daughter as a group of people who are there to help in times of need.
If not, well, she can always close her eyes and call on higher powers….she's not called Faith for nothing you know!

I love the idea of being able to move your kitchen table with just the push of a finger, by having all rollers on all the legs. Wouldn't it be a fun way to present appetizers to guests--just by rolling it right on in the room? Or if you wanted to move from the kitchen to the family room to be close to the fire while not having to pick up and move all your plates and wine? Can you tell I really like this idea!?!
(I just found this in a photographer portfolio last night but of course didn't label the picture-opps!)

Players such as Cynthia Cooper and Sheryl Swoops may have taken some of the spotlight, but Tina Thompson is the preeminent face of the Houston Comets. Representing Houston's franchise from Day One to now, Thompson's star shines just as bright as her flashier former teammates.
In recent years, many have wondered how much longer the legend would grace the basketball court as a player. Saturday before playing the Minnesota Lynx, Thompson spoke with Stephen Litel on her future plans. Also giving a brief look back at the accomplishment on her impressive resume that brings her the most pride, Thompson continues SLAM's discussions with the greatest players in league history.
Sheryl Swoopes last week. Tina Thompson this week. Look out, Lisa Leslie. You're next.
Have you begun to think about how much longer you'd like to play in the WNBA?
"Yeah, I have for the last few years. Not very much longer."
Any interest in coaching after your playing days are over?
"Absolutely not. No interest. I just don't see myself as a coach. Maybe it's a lack of patience."
Any interest in a front office position or becoming a General Manager of a team?
"Probably not. I think that if I'm involved in basketball in any way, it would probably be as a color analyst or something like that. As far as coaching, front office or anything like that, I don't see it. Who knows? I mean, I can't predict the future, but I just don't see it being in my interest right now."
Why would working as a color analyst appeal to you?
"Well, I mean I just enjoy watching the game and I tried to be a student of the game when I started my career, so I think I have a pretty good grasp or knowledge of it. I think that would be something that could be appealing."
Looking back on all your accomplishments on a basketball court, is there one that might stand out from the rest?
"I've been very blessed to have a lot of very good things happen to me through basketball, so to pick one out, I don't know if I could. I mean, just getting a scholarship and being able to go to college would definitely be one of them. I went to Southern Cal, which is a very expensive university, so I don't know if I would've been going there or I'd be up to my head in debt right now considering if I had to pay for it myself. I would think that would be a huge accomplishment, but I mean, I've won four championships in the WNBA, as well as Olympic gold medals. All of them have a special spot in my heart, so I don't know if I could choose any of them."
What are your overall thoughts of the WNBA from the inaugural season to now and what are your hopes for the future of the league?
"I think the growth has been great. There's a lot more diversity from when I started. I was one of the very few young players making an impact or even playing a lot of minutes on their team because at that time we were a veteran league. I think, from that aspect, it's grown tremendously where now you have different generations of basketball in the WNBA. You have this year's draft picks and then you have the Seimone Augustus and Diana Taurasi and then Lisa Leslie and myself are kind of in a different class. I think just the evolution where you can separate players and kind of put them at a certain time in basketball shows the growth of the WNBA. If players like Candace Parker, Seimone Augustus and Pondexter can continue to come out of that college basketball crop, the sky's the limit for the WNBA."

In 1987, I began hearing and writing what I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me. Eventually he revealed that these words were not just for me, but for his people.
I compiled the words from many notebooks, and in 1991 the manuscript for "Great Shall Be His People" was completed. I did not know at that time, that there would be a second volume, "The Glory of Our Inheritance" to compile, a few years later.
The Lord has not released the publishing of these volumes until now, although at times I have tried to get ahead of his will. I now understand that "The Remnant Seed" was written for "such a time as this", and to have published it any sooner would have been ahead of His will and purpose.
It is not always easy to wait upon the Lord's timing, nor is it easy to understand the "whys" and "What fors" of His ways, they are so much higher than our ways. I have learned to wait upon the Lord, and by doing so He has shown me his faithfulness.
I have chosen to print both volumes in one book under one title. My reason for this is that "Great Shall Be These People" is the wooing of the spirit to a people who will hear. It is the call to enter into a closer walk with the Lord, and it places a deeper desire for Him in our heart. "The Glory of Our Inheritance", leads us beyond that desire into the fullness of our destiny in Him, as the "remnant seed", and the manifested son. "The Remnant Seed" is a progressive word, leading us into our glorious inheritance as sons and joint heirs with Christ.
Debbie West and her husband, Bill live in Hampstead, North Carolina, just north of Wilmington. They have three children, Scott, Jeffrey, and Carrie. Debbie and her husband have been involved in leadership positions within the ministry. A ministry with a vision of this "remnant seed" and an understanding of how this remnant fits into God's master plan of redeeming his creation.

Moon → Pisces
When the moon enters into the sign of Pisces you feel dreamy, imaginative and fancy. Maybe you like to be alone. Your imagination is strong and there is a weak call from reality. Meditation and contemplation are standing in the focus.
Mars → Aquarius
When Mars stand in the sign of Aquarius a period of free and independent spirit becomes obvious. You like working and you enjoy the visible results with pleasure. You possess a fine and subtle sense for the perfect moment to enter the stage and the market. It represents a period of innovation. Regarding love relationship: tendency to extraordinary and peculiar persons. Opinionated, dominating and avid for power represents the dark side of this particular constellation.
Moon (Pisces) Conjunction Neptune (Pisces)
The conjunction between the moon and Neptune reflects the desire for fancy and imagination—you might be in imbalance. Venus stays in the sign of Scorpio – still remaining the square – it represents times of trouble with defiance. Thoughts are changeable – deviated from the truth. You are highly sensitive and want to be left alone.

Have you ever wanted to do something for God but it was so big, you kinda hope he says no? Then you can still feel good about your intentional effort but relieved to be off the hook because if God says yes, you know the work involved and it's more than you've ever taken on before. And you know what you can foresee and imagine is only a portion because there is always more cost and more effort, like a building contractor's estimate.
I love the life of Moses; he's a great man of God – I mean, he saw God with his own eyes, but he still had foibles. I respect his foibles because it gives me hope there might be some hope for me as well. From his birth, Moses was not an ordinary child (Acts 7:20). Every mother believes it about her child but the difference between Moses and other children is that Moses believed it too.
Everyone has a destiny and a plan for their life to fulfill, no one is meant to just be ordinary but it takes something extra to be more than ordinary. To be extraordinary, you have to believe you are. It's not puffed up thinking; we should not think of ourselves more highly than we should but we also shouldn't think of ourselves as less than we are created to be, either.
We know Moses' story: he was born during a time of infant genocide, but God spared his life by letting him grow up in the palace, having first been nursed by his mother, Jochebed. For the first five years of his life she spoke over his life; perhaps she had a heavenly revelation about Moses' purpose and his life, but even so she made every moment count. Jochebed told her son he was going to save his people, the Hebrews, and like every boy who dreams of being a super hero, he sopped it up. The vision continued to grow as he lived in palace.
I believe he had a huge, grandiose dream to be the one to free the Hebrews. He asked God about it, God gave him the green light, so with heart pounding and absolutely terrified that God actually said yes, Moses took matters into his own hands. We know how his first attempt to free the Hebrews finished. Moses ran away disillusioned about his ability to hear from God but also relieved he was excused from the enormous task of leading the Hebrews in a revolt.
Moses correctly perceived his life's purpose and plan. He was taught from a young age he was going to do something great and he had enough ego to believe he could do it but he incorrectly perceived the time to step out and take hold of what was in his heart. I imagine he thought to himself, "I gave it a go, but thank God it's not my job to lead the Hebrews from slavery. They're in God's hands now."
Moses aborted the mission call on his life, but God did not. He heard and answered the call of Moses' heart. Moses knew the task would have been humungous but God knew it was even bigger and it required tempering of his character before Moses would be able to handle the task.
What awesome plans do you have, something so big you're afraid God might actually say yes to? If you aren't seeing it happen, perhaps God is tempering you, so you can have the victory because it's larger than you know. Don't abort the mission, keep the dream. God placed it in your heart because he wanted you to share in the victory. Finally, be patient and stay alert; God and the angels are working behind the scenes on your behalf.

John Tunnard British, 1900-1971
British painter and designer, born at Sandy, Bedfordshire, son of the painter J. C. Tunnard.
After studying design at the Royal College of Art, London, John Tunnard worked as a textile designer until 1929, when he started painting. A year later he moved to Cornwall.
In 1933 he had his first one-man exhibition at the Redfern Gallery, London, and from then on his work was seen in many individual and group shows.
From the mid-1930s he was influenced by Surrealism, particularly by Miro.
His paintings often combined forms from both technology and the natural world (he was an amateur naturalist) in semi-abstract compositions.

A CSS3 badge logo
The official HTML5 badge logo from the W3 Consortium is pretty cool.
It was released with lots of other icons, including a symbol for CSS3, but not in the same 'badge' format. When I was looking for a CSS3 badge logo for my cv, I found a lot of people have tried to create one, but the font was never quite right (the font for the HTML5 badge seems to be a customised version of Gotham).
So I recreated my own version… and the Illustrator file is here if you would like to use it.

Doug Burr
This will be Doug's last show of 2015. Make sure to pick up a copy of his new release, Pale White Dove Deluxe, which is the original record accompanied by the demo version of every track on the record.
"What was Burr doing for the last five years? Well, if this record is any indication, he was wandering the desert and receiving signs of a great and terrible prophecy: Burr sounds more aggressive than he ever has, possessed with an almost Biblical fury and righteousness. The songs on Pale White Dove positively erupt, as if they can't wait to break out and see the light of day. This is great, invigorating stuff, and I only hope it doesn't take another half-decade for the next one."

#UniteBehind is a civil society coalition constituted of over 20 organizations that organises and mobilises together around common campaigns and local struggles. By coming together under a united banner, we can more effectively mobilise for a just and equal South Africa where the people share in the country's wealth.
The #UniteBehind coalition was formed by a number of activists from various peoples' movements after the Cape Town Memorial for Ahmed Kathrada. We are young people, struggle veterans, queer people, women, workers and unemployed people, who have come together to form a coalition for a just and equal South Africa. Over the years our struggles for women's equality, land justice, informal settlement upgrading, equal education, open, participatory and accountable governance, racial and economic justice and all the rights in our Constitution have been pursued in an isolated manner. Now we combine our struggles for justice and equality under the banner of #UniteBehind and commit to mobilise against the current crisis of state capture.
#UniteBehind is committed to the demand that the ANC recall President Jacob Zuma, that we stop the Nuclear Deal, and that we restore the credibility of our criminal-justice system by investigating, charging, prosecuting and convicting all those in state-capture and corruption.
Our most pervasive systemic injustices—inequality, unemployment, colonial legacies, apartheid spatial planning, and crime and gender-based violence—requires knowledge, mass mobilisation and persistence and these cannot be overcome as long as President Zuma continues to sabotage our state and destroy the economy. Now we combine our struggles for justice and equality under the banner of #UniteBehind and commit to urgently mobilise against the current crisis of state capture which disproportionately affects the most vulnerable in our society.
Our struggle is for a just and equal South Africa – a democracy in which people participate in decisions affecting their lives.
Government must be elected, open, accountable, ethical and effective. They must put the needs of the people first. This applies to anyone who exercises responsibility or power in society. But, government commands resources on our behalf and therefore it must set the example.
Over the years, our organisations, movements, unions and communities, including faith communities, have called for a different society, culture and economy based on these demands.
Our society is the most unequal in the world with the highest reported rate of unemployment, particularly Black African and Coloured youth unemployment. Our households and individuals carry a crippling debt burden. Every one of these demands requires both radical economic wealth creation and redistribution. We understand that our economy is subject to global market forces and powerful global companies. These forces can be overcome but government, unions, social movements and political parties must unite with our allies internationally to ensure a just, fair and equal world economy.
We want to discuss and improve this vision. Divided movements cannot overcome these powerful obstacles. #UniteBehind must be a space for organisation and action but equally also to discuss and disagree with dignity.
These principles and demands are not cast in stone but they indicate the world in which we wish to live.

Dick's Sporting Goods pulls assault-style rifles as Florida students return
AFP/Getty Images
Students have returned to the site of one of America's worst ever mass shootings for a half day of classes
As students at the Florida school where 17 people were recently killed returned to classes, a major gun retailer has announced it will stop selling the kind of weapon used in the attack.Dick's Sporting Goods, which has more than 600 shops, said it would no longer sell assault-style rifles, and backed "common sense gun reform".The move came as pupils and teachers made an emotional return to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.Grief counsellors were on hand.In the aftermath of the 14 February shooting, pressure has mounted on US politicians to act on gun control and for corporations to cut ties with the powerful National Rifle Association (NRA).Firms including Hertz car rental, United airlines and Delta airlines have ended discounts to NRA members.Dick's Sporting Goods announcement also came as Florida lawmakers proposed a package of gun control measures, including a controversial bill to arm school staff, including teachers.Airlines drop NRA after school shooting

"We have tremendous respect and admiration for the students organising and making their voices heard regarding gun violence in schools and elsewhere in our country," Dick's Sporting Goods said in a statement. "We have heard you. The nation has heard you."The retailer said it was committing itself to:No longer selling assault-style rifles (The company had stopped selling such weapons after the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting but 35 shops run by a subsidiary had continued to do so.)

It said that while it supported the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms, "gun violence is an epidemic that's taking the lives of too many people". Dick's CEO Edward Stack told CNN he expected a backlash from some customers, saying "the hunt business is an important part of the business, no doubt about it".The Parkland shooting suspect, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, bought a gun at Dick's but not the AR-15-style weapon he is alleged to have used in the attack, Mr Stack said."We did everything by the book, and we did everything that the law required, and he was still able to buy a gun," he told ABC.Walmart, the largest seller of guns in the US, stopped selling high-powered rifles in its shops in 2015, citing low demand.Emotional returnAt Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, a line of police officers, school staff and community members bearing flowers greeted some 3,000 students who returned to classes on Wednesday morning."I'm not scared," 16-year-old Sean Cummings told the AFP news agency. "It's just weird to come back after everything that has happened."#WhatIf hashtag used to debate gun control

But David Hogg, a senior student and now leading activist, said it was "just really hard to think about" what occurred two weeks ago."Imagine getting in a plane crash and having to get back on the same plane again and again and again and being expected to learn and act like nothing's wrong," he told NBC News.The handling of the shooting by authorities sparked criticism after it emerged that the FBI and local police failed to follow up on multiple tips about Mr Cruz, and that an armed deputy at the school had stayed outside the school building while the attack took place.

Students are back for half a day of classes, but the focus is reconnecting with each other
Ernest Rospierski, a teacher at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, earlier told the BBC: "Usually, I always greet the kids at the door."But this time he said he was going to tell them "how much it makes me legitimately excited to have them back in the room and to have the ability to be in front of them again".The school's Building 12, the site of the shootings, will remain closed and cordoned off indefinitely.There will only be a half day of classes, but the focus for students will be on reconnecting with friends and teachers, and sharing their feelings.Armed school 'marshals'Members of Florida's State House and Senate will soon begin reviewing proposed bills related to firearms, which need their approval and also that of Governor Rick Scott.They would raise the legal age to buy rifles from 18 to 21 and giving police more control to seize weapons from mentally ill people.A controversial $67m voluntary programme to arm school staff, including teachers, would ensure they were trained by law enforcement and allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus, according to the New York Times.US gun lobby 'doesn't back any ban'

Lawmakers had already given an initial green light to what has become known as the "marshal programme", despite protests by many parents of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students.They argued that educators should not have to take on the role of the police. A similar programme already exists in Polk County, in central Florida.Governor Scott has previously said he opposes "arming teachers".

Media captionTrump: 'I would have run in even if I didn't have weapon'In addition to proposing a rise in the minimum legal age to buy all rifles, legislators from the budget committees from the Florida House and Senate want to impose a three-day waiting period for any gun purchases. Handgun buyers must already be at least 21 and wait for three days.They also want to outlaw the sale of bump stocks – a piece of plastic or metal that allows semi-automatic rifles to fire dozens of rounds in seconds, like a machine-gun.But a Democratic-backed amendment to ban assault-style rifles was rejected by the House Appropriations Committee.

Over time, one of the issues that has been expressed to NYSWYSA from across our western NY footprint has been the question of ethical recruitment of players for soccer programs.
NYSWYSA has researched various options for implementing recommended best practices for player recruitment. Options considered included a "required" NYSWYSA Policy, official calendar-based recruitment windows, or a "recommended" policy for NYSWYSA members to adopt.
Having researched and considered these options, and the pros and cons of each, we concluded that providing our membership with a set of Recommended Player Recruitment Best Practices is the best approach. In the interests of keeping at the forefront each individual player's best interests and to promote ethical decorum amongst competing soccer programs, we hope that every NYSWYSA member will decide to adopt these recommended best practices.

Artist Trading Cards
Artist Trading Cards (or ATC's) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". They can be done as a series or as individual cards.

Working on mixed media art projects around the holidays is a lot of fun, particularly when these projects can be put on display or given away as gifts. Easter is no exception to this with its bounty of opportunities for altering objects, mixing things up, and making something out of nothing. In this case, altered eggs are on the agenda.
- Plastic Easter eggs
- Empty egg container
- Heavy-duty craft glue
- Paintbrushes
- Small containers of water
- Beads
- Sequins
- Paper plates
- Mixed paper scraps
- No-stick glitter glue
- Newspapers or cardboard
- Lay out the newspaper or cardboard to protect your work surface. Put some beads and some sequins into their own paper plates (you can also mix some up, as well). Set out the plastic Easter eggs, glue, paintbrushes, and mixed paper in an area where everyone working on this project can reach.
- Begin by squirting some glue on the outside of the egg, and then spreading it around using the paintbrush. Then, add a layer of mixed paper so the majority of the egg is covered. Avoid covering the entire egg so some of its original color shows through.
- Add another layer of glue, and then roll the egg into the sequins. Again, do not completely cover the egg. Set the egg aside in the empty egg container to dry so the sequins don't fall off.
- Once the egg is dry, add another layer of glue and then roll it into the beads. Again, set the egg aside to dry in the egg container so the beads don't fall off.
- Once the beads have dried on to the egg, swirl on some glitter glue while it is still in the egg container (that way, it does not have to be handled too much). Allow the Easter egg to dry completely for 24 hours.
- Poke some paper clips that have been opened up through the bottom of the empty egg container to set the eggs on to – that way; they won't dry to the sides of the container when placed inside.
- Rather than brushing on the glue and rolling the Easter egg into the sequins, consider adding them on individually using dots of glue.
- Rather than using mixed paper, use pre-packaged Easter themed die-cuts.
- Rather than using mixed paper, use Easter themed stickers.
- Rather than using no-stick glitter glue, consider using iridescent or pastel colored acrylic paint.
- Add a loop of ribbon to the top of the egg so it can be hung.
- Add Easter themed charms or other scrapbook elements using a hot glue gun.
- If you don't use enough glue, beads and sequins will fall off. Don't be surprised if you're reattaching these items throughout this art project.
- Avoid putting too many layers of mixed paper on to the egg or else it will distort the shape too much when the rest of the layers are added throughout the project.
When these Easter eggs have completely dried, consider placing them on display in a traditional styled Easter basket. You could also create a tablescape display using clear glass bowls filled with these eggs, and clear glass vases filled with lilies.

One of the highest values today is freedom. We want to do what we want, when we want, where we want, and we don't really want anyone to tell us we can't. The American Declaration of Independence says that all people have the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Thus in the case of America, the government basically exists to give people the space and freedom to pursue their own aims while protecting us from each other when those aims come into conflict. Granted, many people would argue that the government is currently doing a poor job of this or is overstepping its bounds, but that is another issue for another day. Instead, I'd like to make the point that making personal freedom our highest value is actually in conflict with the Bible. That's a hard thing to swallow, not only for Americans but for people all over the world who want to do what they want without interference.
Let's go back to the most important story in the first half of the Bible – the story of the Exodus. God's people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were slaves in Egypt for 400 years. The Lord saw their plight, heard their cries, and sent Moses to set them free. Through Moses, God did miracles and forced the leader of Egypt to let the Israelites go.
I wish we could say, "And the Israelites lived happily ever after," but that's not what happened. The Israelites were happy about their freedom for all of about three days before they started to complain. And that's not the worst of it. They started worshipping other gods and getting into all sorts of sins.
Many generations later, the Lord told the Israelites, "For long ago I broke your yoke and burst your bonds; but you said, 'I will not serve'" (Jeremiah 2:20a). God was reminding them that he set them free from slavery in Egypt with the goal that they would serve him. It wasn't freedom for freedom's sake, but freedom to serve the true God.
My kids are starting to memorize the ten commandments (see Exodus 20:1-17), which were given soon after the Israelites left Egypt. A few times a day I hear, "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt where you were slaves. Do not worship any god except me…" It seems simple enough, but God was communicating several important truths:
1. God is loving. He saw the people's suffering and heard their cries ,and out of mercy and love he chose to save them.
2. God is powerful. Slaves by definition do not have the freedom to leave their situation. They need an outside power to help them. The Lord showed his power to take his people out from a land that did not want to let them go.
3. God's redemption isn't free. He freed the people from slavery, but the Lord expected the Israelites to listen to him and obey him.
Many people would say they believe there is a God, but very few would say they serve God or obey him. The idea of serving someone really undercuts our ideal of "freedom."
God broke the "yoke" off the people in Egypt; they no longer were slaves. But God expected them to take a new yoke, the yoke of serving him. Of course, the Lord is a loving, merciful master. But he also is holy, pure and has rules about right and wrong.
Jesus said in Matthew 11, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Many of us take comfort in those words because we like the idea of rest for our souls. But we need to recognize that the rest we are so desperately seeking doesn't come through doing what we want, when we want, where we want. Instead, it comes through losing some of freedom. Willingly taking the yoke Jesus has to offer means that we are choosing to go in the direction he takes us. Learning from him means admitting that we do need someone to teach us. Rather than saying, "No one can tell me what to do," we stop fighting with God and start listening and doing what he says.
Just like the Israelites who were freed from slavery in Egypt, some of us have at one time experienced Jesus setting us free from slavery to sin, fear, loneliness, shame, addiction and more. But most of those Israelites ultimately rejected the God who set them free. They said, "we will not serve." And as a result, they lost everything God gave them. If you've said "No" to the Lord who set you free from your sins, you are on your way to losing everything he gave you. It's time to repent and come back to his yoke.
Others of us may be considering a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Are you ready for a yoke? Are you ready to lose some of that freedom you are clinging to so tightly and say, "Yes, Lord, you can lead me"?

Mozilla launches Firefox Quantum, its lightest and fastest browser:
Recently we have seen that Mozilla entering in the beta mode, and now Firefox Quantum was recently released on Tuesday Nov 14, the new version named 57 version and the browser update named as Quantum because the size bring change to it. The Mozilla comes with super fast speed and light in use so the processing takes quickly. According to browser product development industry leader Nick Nguyen, citing the Speedometer 2.0 benchmark to compare Quantum with Firefox 52.
The second point highlighted by Mozilla is the Quantum is significantly lighter than rival and market leader Google Chrome. According to the company, its new browser consumed about 30% less RAM than Chrome in multi-process architecture testing.
According to hacking point of view, company point out that the new Mozilla is also a safer from the earlier.

Ah, ok.
Twice is just way too much.
Never mind this.
So how is Woo measuring height?
Woo is IMU (inertia motion unit) which uses electric sensors to measure jump. 3 axis Gyroscope to detect rotation and 3 axis accelerometer to detect acceleration on different axis. Also clock is used (hangtime clock).
Except for all those submarines out there that have been using inertial navigation for about 70 years...
I just linked a basic video to show drift.joriws wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 1:37 pmSwimmer, I wonder why your linked video does not use Madgwick AHRS filter or does it? This video shows better results in terms of drift compared to your linked video?
Except subs don't just use accelerometer data and double integrate it to find positionMossy 757 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 2:31 pmExcept for all those submarines out there that have been using inertial navigation for about 70 years...
Kiteboards and submarines aren't the same, but inertial navigation is one of the core backbones of tactical military navigation systems that buttress GPS during periods of interrupted service.
it's not all doom and gloom as you presented:swimmer wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:14 pm
I just linked a basic video to show drift.
Yes you can absolutely do some sort of filtering (Kalman filtering) to reduce drift but you have to know the approximate profile of the motion or use another sensor (sensor fusion) to essentially do a weighted average for a better estimate.
3D foot tracking may work a little better as each step is under 1sec in most cases, so the amount of drift that can happen with each step small but over many steps you will still accumulate some error. Also the step motion has a somewhat predetermined profile so you can use filtering to get a decent estimate.
Now estimating the profile of a kiteboaring jump that can last greater than 2sec is much more complex!
There is a reason why Woo doesn't state the accuracy of it's devices
I don't doubt that people have jumped 25m or more especially in capetown conditions it's just Woo numbers are a bit meaningless.

Quality Score, one of the most important factors in your Adwords PPC. Google Adwords is the only one currently applying Quality Score system to its users. With a deep knowledge of quality score, you are on the way to making successful PPC in Adwords. That is like winning 70% of the battle already.
Quality score is based on three factors in you Adwords PPC:
1) Landing Page Relevance
2) Keywords Used for PPC Ads
3) Click Through Rate
Landing page relevancy is the content and context of the web page, where once a user click and landed in the web page. What you need to provide is the relevant content that the user uses the keyword to search for your product or services. If your landing page is pre-selling something not related to what the users are looking for, they will leave the page as soon as the page loads up.
This will decrease your quality score, as the bounce rate will increase, thus telling Google Adwords that your user's experience is bad. The good news is that landing page makes up of less than 10% of your quality score. As long as the keywords are shown in the landing page, your landing page quality page should not go below 5. Next we go into….
Keywords Used for the Ads. This is the channel where the targeted traffic will come to your landing page. Finding out the keywords that targeted traffic users type in Google, will increase the chances of you doing business with you.
Keywords actually tells you what the users are looking for online. Take for example; someone type 'flower shop', looking for a flower shop online. But the thing is that this keyword is way to general in term of geographically speaking, if only the user is in your area where your flower shop is operating, most properly you will not be able to do business with the users.
But if the user types in 'flower shop New York', this is a very different situation compare to the general 'flower shop'. One is that if your flower shop is in New York, then you have a higher chances of doing business with the user. Two, it tells you that the flower to be send to is going to be in New York, a high percentage buyer. This is called Geo Targeting, targeting people in a certain area only. Everything up till now, the percentage of you getting a high quality score is only 25% to 30%, the next element is the key to your success in Adwords PPC…
Click Through Rate also known as CTR, is the key in improving your quality score. Why is this so….
Because once you have the right landing page and keywords to target searchers, now you need to do is to attract the searchers to click on your ad. Having a compelling ad and keywords shown on the PPC ad will increase the chances of them clicking your ad, and thus increasing your CTR.
In order to have ad that sell (meaning high click through), you need to understand:
a) Your product: the terms the product do, and how it can help the searchers ease their pain now.
b) The searcher's state: depending on the product and the keywords they are searching for, will actually tell you what their current situation is. With this information, you will be able to target the searcher's emotion and their fears.
Once you can provide a solution, that will take away their fears and pain. The chances of you doing a business with them is very very very high.
The PPC is like the door to the store, if your door is not attractive or telling them what your business is all about in the shortest length of words, they will not take notice of your ad at all.
In the past there was only bad, good and great for the ranking of the keyword quality score. It has changed since having 10 different scoring points for you to be at, 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest. Do your best to be 7 and above for the keyword level.
There are a lot other factors that will help increase in the quality score of your Adwords PPC, I will talk about them in the near future. As of now, this post is to simplified what Google Adwords Quality Score is, and how you can benefit from it, thus making more money.

- Description
- Itinerary
- Accommodation
- Departures and Prices
The Rose Festival is one of the most emblematic festivals in Bulgaria with which our country is known worldwide. Bulgaria has a long tradition in the cultivation of oil rose Damascena. Today our country has a leading position (even before France) in the production of rose oil, which is used by leading cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. Visit the Rose Festival in Karlovo, which is traditionally celebrated with many folklore dances and music and attracts visitors from across the world.
Day 1 - Sofia - Koprivshtitsa - Starosel - Hisarya
Our first stop during this journey will be the town of Koprivshtitsa. Nestled in the mountain-folds of Sredna Gora, Koprivshtica is one of the most characteristic Bulgarian towns, declared an architectural reserve. It still bears the atmosphere of The Bulgarian Revival period with its cobbled streets, stone and wooden houses in different colors. Koprivshtica is also associated as the birth place of many famous Bulgarian revolutionaries and poets. During the guided city tour, you will visit some of their birth-houses, now turned into museums. In the afternoon, drive to Starosel and visit the largest underground temple in the Balkans found in the area under Chetinyova Mound. Possibility to visit Starosel complex - an excellent example for a modern enterpreneurship combining vine-growing, wine-production and hospitality industry. Enjoy a wine tour and wine tasting in the degustation hall made as a replica of the nearby Thracian Tomb. Accommodation in the nearby town of Hissarya.
Day 2 - Hisarya - Karlovo - Kalofer - Sofia
The program begins with a visit to the rose fields near the town where you can participate in a rose picking ritual. The ritual is demonstrated by young girls dressed up in national costumes accompanied with many songs and dances. The feast then moves to the town's main square, where you will see the process of rose boiling. Visit some of the most interesting museums in Karlovo and return back to Sofia. En route, you may stop in another picturesque mountain town - Kalofer. Evening arrival in Sofia.

a hundred and one Ideas To Create A Scary Haunted House
Since then we now have been working with other local surroundings teams like the Strathbogie Voices to see how we are able to help each other. Itemizing agent's actually cannot do a ton to promote a home except for record it on the MLS and act as a go between/not say anything silly. The long narrow yard is bordered by tall trees for privacy and terminates in a deelishus swimming pool/spa combination that sits far enough from the principle home to encourage pictures of scantily clad pool boys delivering drinks and nibbles to nekkid sunbathers. She began a small enterprise out of her home which at its peak, produced 6,000 grapies every season.
We just wanted to bounce and social gathering and none of us needed to behave violently or aggressively. The furniture on this room was made especially for Como at the time Charles Armytage bought the home and estate in December 1864. From what you state, it seems that your basement shower, if put in and not using a p-lure, will need to have been done against building code-with out a permit and inspection, maybe by a earlier owner of the house. At this point, Barrett activates his machine, though the home fights again, killing Barrett. House costs here and in the surrounding areas are tumbling (for smaller 2/3 bed homes)and it's these that are not selling.
My question is if i file a 1099C does that mean I dont have to pay the distinction in what the current market worth of my home is and what I still owe on the home. If you happen to can hire for $1500 per month and save the extra $1000, then in two years you'll have $24,000 to place down on your subsequent dwelling. If the drain can be unused solely for a year (reminiscent of a drain in an empty home), the cost would be worthwhile, however I can not see using such an costly product for a shower drain that's used infrequently, however IS used typically…not when there are inexpensive products that can do the trick. Steve's get together in Standish (July 1991) with our new-discovered buddies from Liverpool.
Additionally it is completely placed away from the home for installing one of those youngster safety fences that folk with younger kiddies are so fond. I did look into to a short sale solely to find out that that may very well be a nightmare in its self. I'm an especially private individual, though I am getting higher about it. I don't want individuals in my home when I'm residence so actually not once I'm away. We're in the strategy of shifting again to NY again and are toying with trying to get the home again.
In that case, there isn't a fairness as a result of the home did not promote for enough to have anything left over. Update your salad palate with our own home mix os tremendous leaves, nuts and sprouts tossed with quinoa, crunchy sprouted broccoli and fragrant coriander. Bauhaus is taken from two German phrases: bauen (to build) and haus (house), and translated means Home of Constructing," an idea Gropius took from medieval craft guilds. Her aunt hated her house and her husband would not move or construct a different house.
