In his terrain reasoning masterclass in October, William van der Sterren presented a simple yet effective algorithm for creating areas from an underlying graph of waypoints. The algorithm uses a variety of factors, and can be tuned to provide very useful areas depending on these factors. These areas provide a simplified yet sufficiently accurate representation of the terrain that can be used to speed up most algorithms that don't require point perfect information.
An implementation of this algorithm was just released as part of the AiGameDev.com Sandbox. The result of processing a 32×32 grid looks like in the following video:
Creative solutions to problems often come from trying to reproduce algorithms that already work well (without necessarily knowing how they are done). So, here's your chance to brainstorm how to solve this problem. The requirements are:
The algorithm should not require too much processing time, and provide sensible results very quickly.
If more time is available, the algorithm should be able to find good areas from the input graph.
The algorithm should be able to take into account various area criteria specified by the programmer.
Get those problem-solving juices flowing, and post your ideas below in the comments. (If you're a member, please try to post different ideas than were described by William or implemented in the demo.)

9 Tips for Beating Loneliness During the Holidays
If you're going to be alone during the holidays and you have clinical depression, you're looking at a double whammy that could do a number on you before the end of the year. By Christmas Eve, your depression voice might be telling you that you're a sad loser - unless you come up with some countermeasures. Keep these suggestions in mind:
- If you're alone because someone close to you has died, or because your marriage or relationship has ended, realize that it's normal to feel sadness and grief. It's OK to take time to cry or express your feelings. You can't force yourself to be happy just because it's the holiday season.
- Ask yourself - are you actually okay with being alone during the holidays, but feel that you should be spending it with other people? We're all bombarded with images of happy families spending time together during the holidays. Remember that as wonderful as it can be to be with family, it's also very stressful.
- Sometimes it's better to be on your own than the alternative. I remember one horrible Thanksgiving that I spent with my boyfriend and his mother (who I was meeting for the first time.) For some reason that I never figured out, she loathed me on sight. As I was eating the less than sublime food, I'd look up and see her glaring at me. After about an hour, I felt that spending Thanksgiving home alone with Swanson's frozen turkey dinner was the plan I should have gone with.
- Don't tell yourself that it's not worth decorating or cooking when it's just you. Trust me, the lack of any festivity will make you feel more depressed. What's wrong with decorating your place or cooking a special meal just for yourself? Chances are that doing the holiday activities that you're used to doing with family or friends will give you a lift.
- Don't hide the fact that you're spending the holidays alone from acquaintances or colleagues. If you're frank about it, it's possible that someone will invite you over for Christmas dinner.
- Don't drink. Alone and drunk is not a good combination. Chances are that you'll become maudlin and more depressed. If you want to have a special drink for the holidays that's not alcoholic, try caramel apple cider or gingerbread coffee.
- Line up a special treat for yourself, like a museum visit, a concert or something else that will get you out of the house and make the holidays memorable.
- Do some of the things that you did as a child, like watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or making Christmas cookies.
- You don't have to be alone at the holidays. If you feel lonely or isolated, seek out community, religious or other social events. They can offer support and companionship. Volunteering your time to help others also is a good way to lift your spirits and broaden your friendships. Volunteer your time to serve or deliver holidays meals for people in need. Ask your local hospital if the children's ward needs volunteers.

All of us walk around thinking about the burdens we carry, the things we must do, the things that others depend on us for. My usual focus is taking care of the house. It gets me so mad that the entire burden of keeping this home livable is on me. No one else cares if the Equal packet sits on the floor for days on end. And if I didn't pick it up and put it in the compactor or the recycling, dang, there it would still be sitting.
Suddenly, it occurs to me, well...maybe not suddenly, maybe it has been creeping up on me, the focus I have had is probably just a distraction. If we walked around thinking about what the real burden is, we would be so overwhelmed, we would probably be paralyzed.
We have a different kind of household, with children and grandchildren, and it is a constant struggle to try to be fair and to not pick favorites, to not show preference to the cutest, or the smartest, or the most needy, to not differentiate between my offspring and someone else's offspring, to not look at some of the residents as being someone else's burden. So far, this particular part of my life has been pretty successful. The kids and the grands pretty much feel as though they are on equal footing, except for an occasional occurrence when some of the grands realize they don't have an actual parent rooting for them. So it is a difficult situation for them also. And they share in the success.
Today, the youngest, five, Ben, was out on the lawn with a neighbor child. This neighbor boy, Cody, six, and a head taller, has caused a lot of problems for us, and we frankly do not like his style. We do not let Ben play with him without supervision. Grandpa was sitting outside watching them and came into the house for a minute. Mom, Fran, looks out the window and sees Ben beating the stuffing out of Cody. Ben was made to immediately come into the house.
As we were preparing to leave to run errands, we put Ben into the car with us, and the discussion that started when he entered the house continued. Fran tells him he will not be allowed to play with Cody anymore. Fran does not ever want him to play with Cody, but we try to work out compromises so Ben does not become an asocial hermit.
Fran comments on how Cody affects Ben's behavior and Ben tries to explain that they were playing, that Cody beat Ben and then Cody told Ben to beat on him. Fran actually slips into "Momese", a language she tries to avoid, and says, "If he told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?" So the discussion segues into the fact that in our family we do not think beating people up is a way to play. I say that Cody's family is different from ours, and that they think it is alright to play that rough, but in our family we try not to be that mean. (We CERTAINLY do not bring up the subject of Cousin Terry's broken hand...) Fran, Ben and I talk a little about how some families are different, and not every one's family thinks the same things are important. Then Ben says, "I think Cody's family should have a grandma living there. Then it would be alright because grandma's know everything." I make a vague "hmmm" noise, and Fran and I are speechless for a few short seconds, and I think, but in retrospect, am not too sure, that Fran said, "There!"
The discussion then went far afield to avoid pitfalls and discomfort. This is totally the type of thing that I cannot even think of. How much of an effect am I having on this child and what will it mean in his life? To just go on and keep up the same old routine is so necessary, but perhaps it will stay in my mind enough to make me a bit wiser and keep me from jumping the gun so much in the future.
I so much have the reputation of putting foot into mouth. Christmas day Louie was being SO nice. I couldn't understand it, and it is kind of pitiful that it was SO noticeable. I so much wanted to say, "You are being so nice. Do you have a brain tumor?" But I didn't say it! I just quietly enjoyed Louie's being so nice.
Maybe we are all growing up together.

I recently had an epiphany about a contradiction that has long troubled me:
How can a Christian man display confidence while "seeing others as better than ourselves" and avoiding vain conceit?
The passage in question is Philippians 2:3:
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Upon examining the passage closely, I realized this is a frequently misunderstood verse. The context is about selfish rivalries and empty pride.
Think of a situation with two co-workers. One gets a promotion. The other does not. The one who didn't get the promotion feels he was more deserving of the position instead of acknowledging that the other is more valuable to the company.
Or think of wealthy people vs. poor people. Many poor people feel they deserve the money of the wealthy. But they don't acknowledge that wealthy people are more diligent than poor people.
Or think of a man who gets "oneitis." He feels he would be a better lover than the man who won the girl over him. But his ego blinds him from learning from a superior man.
Or think of a wife who feels she would be a better leader than her husband. Yet she does not appreciate that men are uniquely designed to lead.
There will always be someone more gifted or higher ranked than us in some area. Even someone who is overall lower status than us will be better/more gifted in some area. Paul wants us to focus on and appreciate the strengths of others rather than assuming that we're not getting what we deserve.
But this doesn't mean a man can't display his strengths or act like a superior to a woman. But we shouldn't fool ourselves when comparing ourselves to other men. And we shouldn't fail to acknowledge the gifts of our wives that we ourselves lack.

Turn of the Century Puzzle
Your grandfather, determined to start the year 1900 off right, went to bed at 7 p.m. on December 31, 1899, setting his alarm clock to wake him at 8 the next morning. He slept like a log. How many hours sleep did he get?
Ancient Coin Puzzle
A thief went to a shop that sold antique coins. He stole a coin from Emperor Alexander's time that had 326 B.C. inscribed on it. These rare coins were worth $ 100 for every year of their age (years from date of minting till now). So how much did the thief get for his stolen coin?
Both the puzzles above have some similarity. There is a clue hidden in the title of the post itself.

text: Astronomical Analysis of Kalsarp Yoga January 2008 Dr. Arun Bansal Articles in this Issue | Related Articles | Views : 4434 | The placement of all planets between Rahu and Ketu results in the formation of Kalsarp Yoga. If the order of their placement is from Rahu to Ketu it is Ascending Kalsarp Yoga and when it is opposite i.e. from Ketu to Rahu it is Descending Kalsarp Yoga. The placement of Rahu in different houses results in the formation of 12 types of Kalsarp Yogas. The results of these Kalsarp Yogas are dependent on the houses where Rahu and Ketu are placed. To understand Kalsarp Yoga it is inevitably essential to understand what are Rahu and Ketu. Following facts shall make this understand – Earth revolves around Sun on an astral plain. Moon also revolves around Earth on plain only. But this is on an angle from the plain of Earth. Both these plains cross each other on a line. From one point on this line the Moon goes up and it comes down from the other point. Both these points have been given the name of Rahu and Ketu respectively. When Sun, Moon, Rahu and Ketu all are in one line it results in the formation of solar or lunar eclipse. When all the planets transit through one side of axis of Rahu and Ketu, Kalsarp Yoga is formed. This yoga is formed only when Jupiter and Saturn also come to the one side along with all other planets. In addition to Rahu and Ketu only Jupiter and Saturn are considered as slow moving planets, therefore Saturn and Jupiter's transit into one side becomes the prime reason of formation of this yoga. Sun, Mercury and Venus remain together most of the time. Moon is fast moving planet, therefore in addition to Jupiter and Saturn, one more important planet for making / not making Kalsarp yoga is Mars. Here is a list of periods of Kalsarp Yoga formation from 2000 to 2040. 21.02.2000 - 11.07.2000 Ascending 08.07.2002 - 24.11.2002 Descending 26.05.2004 - 15.10.2004 Descending 09.07.2005 - 15.08.2005 Descending 11.08.2008 - 16.12.2008 Ascending 13.05.2013 - 10.09.2013 Ascending 05.09.2016 - 26.12.2016 Descending 15.09.2017 - 01.02.2018 Descending 12.08.2018 - 20.09.2018 Descending 25.02.2020 - 24.05.2020 Ascending 01.01.2021 - 26.03.2021 Ascending 17.12.2021 - 23.04.2022 Ascending 28.04.2025 - 22.07.2025 Descending 23.03.2026 - 11.07.2026 Descending 06.05.2034 - 01.08.2034 Ascending 17.06.2035 - 09.08.2035 Ascending 02.03.2036 - 04.07.2036 Ascending 29.07.2038 - 12.12.2038 Descending 30.08.2039 - 05.12.2039 Descending Some important facts related to Kalsarp Yoga are as follows – Kalsarp Yoga does not remain for more than 6 months because of Sun's motion. During these 6 months also it remains there for 2 weeks only in each month because of the motion of Moon. Kalsarp Yoga does not get created every year. Sometimes it does not get formed for several years together. Kalsarp Yoga initially takes ascending form 2-3 times and after that descending form 2-3 times and then ascending again. Rahu takes 7 years and 2 months again to come closer to Jupiter therefore ascending and descending Kalsarp Yogas are also formed in a cycle of about 7 years. For the accurate calculation of Kalsarp Yoga see the degrees of other planets from the degrees of Rahu and Ketu. In ascending Kalsarp Yoga the degrees of other planets should be less than Rahu and more than Ketu and in descending the same shall be opposite. In Astronomy the difference between ascending and descending Kalsarp Yoga is only the different position of planets from Rahu. Therefore, the impacts of both types of yogas are almost similar. In Kalsarp Yoga the concentration of planets towards one side increases their impact on this side and this imbalance results into earthquakes etc. During this type of planetary position there remains distress in the minds of people and probability of war also increases. During Kalsarp Yoga all visible planets come towards one side because of which there remains stretch and strain on one side of earth and as a result of that flood tides and ebb tides into the sea come with high speed. Kalsarp yoga was not there in 2006 and 2007 because of which earth quakes were also lesser in 2006-2007 as compared to 2004-2005. In 2008 it exists from August to December. According to one survey the number of normal pregnancies get reduced during Kalsarp Yoga. This yoga should not be misunderstood as RahuKal. This yoga is a specific position of planets in sky whereas Rahu Kal is one eighth part of day the duration of which is one and half hour. During RahuKal any auspicious work should not be started and it is also treated as a part of electional astrology (Muhoorat). Rahu Kal does not have any connection with the horoscope of native whereas Kalsarp Yoga causes an impact on the horoscope of a person. It has been seen clearly on earth and lives of people. Discussions like the lack of description of this Yoga in classics are hot. Classical authors have written about Sarp Yoga only. Here I would like to say that several yogas have not been listed in old texts. We bring new yogas in use with our experience and research. Research is the integral part of life. If the noticeable impact of a yoga is there, it should be brought into use definitely. To conclude Kalsarp yoga brings lots of upheaval on earth and it makes the native very impressive although he has to go through a lot of struggle in his life. Remedies are recommended only to reduce the trouble of hard work. Generally the results of Kalsarp Yoga are auspicious for the native. [+] Read more Do you like this article?

On January 21, approximately 200,000 people will convene in Washington, DC to stand up for gender equality after Donald Trump's inauguration. The effort will extend internationally with sister marches in 60 countries on every continent — including Antarctica.
"In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore," the march's site reads. "The Women's March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us."
It's set to be one of the largest protests in the last decade.
Here's a look back at some of the biggest marches in American history.
Approximately 250,000 people participated in this 1963 civil rights march in DC, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I have a Dream" speech.
Between 500,000 and 600,000 people demonstrated against the Vietnam War in DC, which had led to thousands of deaths by 1969. Coalitions started organizing smaller rallies in 1967, eventually leading up to the large anti-Vietnam march two years later.
The Solidarity Day march was a rally of about 260,000 people in DC in 1981. It was in response to President Ronald Reagan's decision to fire 12,000 air traffic controllers who went on strike and demanded wage increases and safer working conditions.
In 1982, around a million protestors filled Central Park to protest nuclear weapons during Ronald Reagan's presidency.
Between 800,000 and a million people marched on the National Mall in 1993 for LGBT rights. The organizers' primary demands were civil rights bills against discrimination, an increase in AIDS research funding, and reproductive rights.
In 1997, two years after the Million Man March, anywhere from 500,000 to 2 million people convened for the Million Woman March. The event, which was held on a rainy Saturday in 1997, included prayer, musical performances, and speeches by local organizers and civil rights activists.
As a protest to George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq, between 10 to 15 million people marched in 600 cities across the world in 2003. At least 500,000 people protested in American cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
It's known as the biggest protest in world history.
In 2004, the March for Women's Lives was one of the largest pro-choice protests in American history, with between 500,000 and 1.1 million attendees.

America's (almost) silent drone war and mainstream media largely ignoring civilian murders
America's unrelenting drone war in Pakistan and elsewhere receives little accurate media coverage. The reality of civilians living in these areas are often ignored. Instead, we're told "militants" are being killed. But who is really telling us this? A friend, Justin Randle, recently attended the Imran Khan anti-drone march in Pakistan (his report is here and a more critical view of the event is here).
The New York Times' Public Editor examines the issue and how her paper is managing the question:
Understanding American drone strikes is like a deadly version of the old telephone game: I whisper to you and you whisper to someone else, and eventually all meaning is lost.
You start with uncertain information from dubious sources. Pass it along, run it through the media blender, add pundits, and you've got something that may or may not be close to the truth.
How many people have been killed by these unmanned aircraft in the Central Intelligence Agency's strikes in Yemen and Pakistan? How many of the dead identified as "militants" are really civilians? How many are children?
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in Britain has estimated that, in the first three years after President Obama took office, between 282 and 535 civilians were credibly reported killed by drone strikes — including more than 60 children. The United States government says the number of civilians killed has been far lower.
Accurate information is hard to come by. The Obama administration and the C.I.A. are secretive about the fast-growing drone program. The strikes in Pakistan are taking place in areas where reporters can't go, or would be in extreme danger if they did. And it is all happening at a time when the American public seems tired of hearing about this part of the world anyway.
How does The New York Times fit into this hazy picture?
Some of the most important reporting on drone strikes has been done at The Times, particularly the "kill list" article by Scott Shane and Jo Becker last May. Those stories, based on administration leaks, detailed President Obama's personal role in approving whom drones should set out to kill.
Groundbreaking as that article was, it left a host of unanswered questions. The Times and the American Civil Liberties Union have filed Freedom of Information requests to learn more about the drone program, so far in vain. The Times and the A.C.L.U. also want to know more about the drone killing of an American teenager in Yemen, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, also shrouded in secrecy.
But The Times has not been without fault. Since the article in May, its reporting has not aggressively challenged the administration's description of those killed as "militants" — itself an undefined term. And it has been criticized for giving administration officials the cover of anonymity when they suggest that critics of drones are terrorist sympathizers.
Americans, according to polls, have a positive view of drones, but critics say that's because the news media have not informed them well. The use of drones is deepening the resentment of the United States in volatile parts of the world and potentially undermining fragile democracies, said Naureen Shah, who directs the Human Rights Clinic at Columbia University's law school.
"It's portrayed as picking off the bad guys from a plane," she said. "But it's actually surveilling entire communities, locating behavior that might be suspicious and striking groups of unknown individuals based on video data that may or may not be corroborated by eyeballing it on the ground."
On Sunday, Ms. Shah's organization will release a report that raises important questions about media accuracy on drone strikes. But accuracy is only one of the concerns that have been raised about coverage of the issue.
"It's very narrow," said David Rohde, a columnist for Reuters who was kidnapped by the Taliban in 2008 when he was a Times reporter. "What's missing is the human cost and the big strategic picture."
Glenn Greenwald, a lawyer who has written extensively on this subject for Salon and now for The Guardian, told me he sees "a Western media aversion to focusing on the victims of U.S. militarism. As long as you keep the victims dehumanized it's somehow all right."

Cascadia Candle Co: 3D Mountain Candles
Hi Kickstarter.
I'm Brad. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have always been inspired by its natural beauty. Cascadia Candle Company is going to make unique candles that remind us of that natural beauty every day.
Five years ago I founded Portland Bee Balm, a small lip balm company with deep ties to the Pacific Northwest. Since I began making lip balm, I have been surrounded by gorgeous blocks of pure beeswax. The idea to make candles comes naturally around all this beeswax. I waited because I wanted to make something special and unique. Something that didn't already exist in the world. Something I could have in my home, that reminds me of the amazing spaces right outside my door.
- Mount Hood
- Mount Rainier
- Mount St. Helens
To make these candles a reality, it took the help of great friends. Luke, from Seattle, works for a geo-spatial technology company. He was able to get extremely detailed light radar(LiDAR) topography data for the mountains. This data then went to my friend Ted, from Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. Ted works in video game character design. He was able to take the high definition topographical data from Luke and create stunning three dimensional digital objects.
Using a 3D printer we are able to bring these digital creations into our studio. We've made silicone molds of the initial models and now have working prototypes of the candles. From getting the best data, to designing the digital models, to 3D printing, casting, wick selection and beeswax quality, every detail of each step was carefully considered to bring you the highest quality candle for your home. Cutting edge manufacturing and information technology meet one of the world's oldest inventions, the candle. The result brings people closer to the natural world.
I have had so much fun with this project over the past year, I hope these candles bring you the same amount of joy. Thank you for all the support.
Please note that beeswax candles are shown. If choosing a soy wax candle it will be white.
$1 Pledge: Thank you. We can't fail with George Washington on our side.
$12 Pledge: Set of all three tealight mountain candles. Hood, St. Helens, and Rainier. Your choice of beeswax or soy wax. Free shipping in US.
*add $12 to any pledge level to include a tea light set.
$30 Pledge: Concrete large mountain model(not a candle). Highly detailed concrete mountain(Hood, St. Helens, or Rainier) model. The same size as our large candles. Paper weight, garden ornament, door stop, you decide. Free shipping in US.
$30 Pledge(Limited to 100)$35 after: Early Bird. Your Choice of Hood, St. Helens, or Rainier in soy or beeswax. Free shipping in US.
$100 Pledge: All three large candles(Hood, St. Helens, and Rainier) and the set of three tea lights. Your choice of soy or beeswax. Free shipping in US.
$250 Pledge: Come to our production space for the launch party. You get a set of all large candles and tealights. Also make your own large candle in the material of your choice(soy or beeswax or concrete). Free drinks, Double Mountain Hop Lava, maybe. We'd love to meet you.
Launch Party to be hosted at MadeHere PDX
Also, if you would like to see a candle in person during the campaign, they will be on display at MadeHere PDX.
40 NW 10th Ave Portland, OR
What's the money for?
- Packaging design and initial production order. Tooling for cutting the boxes and printing plates for the artwork. We need to order a large quantity to get the unit price low enough.
- Bulk purchase of soy and beeswax. Once again we need to buy in bulk in order to get a competitive price.
- Temperature controlled, water jacketed melting tank. You can't make candles without melted wax.
- Multiple silicone production molds of each candle type.
- Packaging graphic design work.
With a little help from my friends:
Big thanks to these two ^ for their hard work on the project. I would also like to thank these people for their generous advise and help with various aspects of the project.
- Everybody at Linden Collective for their amazingly generous help with the video.
- Sterling and Drew at Digital trends for the help printing our first usable prototype.
- Everyone at ADX collective that was so helpful in teaching me about 3D modeling and printing.
- All the bees that made this beautiful wax. Those ladies work hard.
- My great team at Portland Bee Balm that worked like champs so that I could dive head first down this candle rabbit hole.
- Polara studios and especially Jay for his help with the great product photography.
- Megan at DCG One studios for putting up with all my crazy box ideas and Mike Lucas over there for creating an amazing unique volcano box.
- Zach Yarrington for his help with the logos and packaging design. He hit it out of the park.
- My wife Anika, for listening to me talk about nothing but candles and 3D digital mountain models for the past 6 months.
- Nic from North Drinkware for his great Kickstarter advise.
- Ben from Coulee Concrete for all his help and advise on concrete casting.
Risks and challenges
There are always unexpected challenges that arise when trying to create something new. I have been running a small lip balm business(Portland Bee Balm) for 5 years and have experience that will be helpful in making this project a success. We have overcome many unforeseen challenges to get where we are today. We understand how to manufacture, package and ship a product(both domestically and internationally). I have the time, and with your help, the resources to devote myself fully to this endeavor.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

'War crimes' by US in Mosul - fmr Pentagon official
Hundreds of Mosul residents were killed by airstrikes in their homes following repeated instructions from Iraqi authorities not to leave, Amnesty International says. It adds that coalition forces should have known the directives were likely to result in civilian deaths. RT's Murad Gazdiev reports from Iraq. Later, former Pentagon official Michael Maloof joins 'News With Ed' to discuss.
Can Congress act impartially in Russia investigation?
Reports are emerging that FBI director James Comey wanted to write an op-ed on Russian involvement in the 2016 elections back in the summer of 2016. The Obama administration reportedly discouraged Comey, saying they wanted more agencies to sign-off on the material he had. Meanwhile, politics seem at play in both congressional investigations into the allegation. For more on this, 'News With Ed' is joined by Scottie Nell Hughes, national spokesperson for Freedom Vine, and civil rights attorney Misty Marris.

Our History
"As I retire, I express my gratitude to the ISAS staff, to each of my peers with whom I've worked on Visiting Committees and association work, and to ISAS as a whole, because the organization does have a real and valuable collective identity, and as such, is an expression of the spirit--larger and longer lasting than the tenure and lifespan of any one of us individually."
With great regard – John Long, Head of School Emeritus,
The Post Oak School, Houston.
"The Association of Texas Preparatory Schools," ISAS's predecessor, was founded. It consisted of a football league among teams from The Kinkaid School, Lutheran School, St. John's School, St. Mark's School of Texas, and St. Stephen's Episcopal School and a girls and boys basketball championship. ISAS Schools would later form the Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC).
ISAS was founded as an Association in 1955 by Casady School in Oklahoma and seven other Texas schools: The Hockaday School, The Kinkaid School, Saint Mary's Hall, St. John's School, St. Stephen's Episcopal School, St. Mark's School of Texas, and Texas Military Institute. The first meeting of ISAS involved 12 schools – 4 in addition to the founding schools: Allen Academy, Concordia Lutheran School, Peacock Military Academy, and Radford School. The moving spirit in the organization of ISAS was Alan Chidsey, founding Headmaster of St. John's School, Houston.
Richard Ekdahl (1930-2016), ISAS Executive Director Emeritus, became the first Executive Director of ISAS and served until 1996. Ekdahl was instrumental in convening meetings of ISAS Heads to draft all of the founding documents. His dedication and long service would establish a legacy and foundation of leadership and a culture of collegiality for a strong ISAS future.
The original Constitution Statement of Purpose was composed: "To encourage, support, and develop highest standards of attainment in the independent schools of the area and to recognize those schools in which they are maintained."
The phrase "to recognize by formal accreditation" was added to the Statement of Purpose. In addition to traditional Standards for Membership, ISAS accreditation depended upon the requirement that 75% of each graduating class successfully complete the freshman year of college. In reality, college matriculation averaged 99% over time.
Geoffrey Butler became the second Executive Director of ISAS. The Association offices were moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Fort Worth, Texas. He served ISAS most admirably in this role for ten years and especially dedicated his attention to educating and developing strong Boards of Trustees.
ISAS Schools showed extraordinary camaraderie and heroic leadership in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart and Schools of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau, alone took in over 420 students. Houston ISAS schools generously led in helping while at least 37 other ISAS schools made places for many displaced students from New Orleans at no charge, allowing ISAS New Orleans Schools to retain tuition vital to reopening their storm-damaged schools in record time.
Rhonda G. Durham became the third Executive Director of ISAS. Association offices were moved from Fort Worth, Texas, to Midland, Texas. All ISAS New Orleans area schools re-opened successfully and were a vital part of recovery for the greater New Orleans community.
Independent Schools Association of the Southwest celebrated its Fiftieth Anniversary honoring its advancement of high standards for independent schools in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, and Mexico. Many Past Presidents and retired Heads of School joined ISAS Heads and its only three Executive Directors of ISAS in all of its history at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas for birthday cake and reminiscing.
Jananne McLaughlin became the first full-time ISAS Director of Accreditation Services which expanded the services of the position to include staff presence on every accreditation visit, ensuring greater consistency of preparation and overall quality assurance for every school and for members of each Visiting Committee.
The ISAS Arts Festival Steering Committee was established to oversee governance of Festivals and formalize policy and procedures in a published operating Manual approved by the ISAS Board of Directors.
The Association adopted a new ISAS logo design that featured a flower-like burst of color, rebranding to reflect the unique coloration of the desert southwest, with petals for each of the states in the Association's membership region, and hosted nationally acclaimed speakers in Houston at its ISAS Biennial Teachers Conference in Houston with over a thousand educators attending.
The Standards Committee comprehensively reviewed ISAS Standards for Membership resulting in strengthening standards around freedom of inquiry, the extension of new grade levels to the school's program, and new IRS requirements.
ISAS voluntarily submitted to a rigorous and impartial review of its accreditation program and demonstrated adherence to the NAIS Commission on Accreditation Criteria for Effective Independent School Accreditation Practices. The Commission fully recognized ISAS in 2010, commended ISAS, and confirmed its confidence in the quality of the Association's accreditation program, its openness to examination of practices, and the design and implementation of its accreditation program in a manner that meets the NAIS Commission Criteria.
An Arts Festival Reserve Fund was established to hold surplus funds from past festivals to be used for special needs and circumstances at the discretion of the ISAS Arts Festival Steering Committee and ISAS Finance Committee. The idea for and the first designation of Funds came from Greenhill School.
ISAS Technology Directors Larry Kahn of Kinkaid School, Jason Kern of Oakridge School, and Chris Bigenho of Greenhill School, presented a session on ISAS TEDXYouth events at the NAIS Annual Conference in Seattle to wide acclaim, exemplifying proud ISAS collaborative projects for students in our region.
In response to the increasing role that Summer Programs play in member schools' missions, offerings, and revenue expectations, a comprehensive protocol of Effective Criteria for Summer Programs was developed and incorporated into the regular ten-year accreditation program for all schools. These criteria aim to ensure safe, responsible, and sound operations of these programs.
ISAS Standards for Membership were last comprehensively revised in 1989, 2004, and in 2009.In 2013, the Standards Committee and ISAS staff initiated another timely comprehensive review.Five sub-committees, including heads, division heads, faculty, and business officers, were appointed, each to study one section of the Standards: Governance, Program, Faculty, Administration, and Financial Management.The results of the work of the full Committee and the Board were organized for clarity and efficiency, and the staff researched standards of comparable regional associations and NAIS best practices. Minor clarification and redundancy changes were adopted and several new standards were added to address important new areas of school best practice.
The ISAS Group Benefits Trust celebrated its Silver Anniversary in November. In its almost 25 years, the Trust has constantly evolved, keeping in step with the landscape of employer healthcare benefits. Over time, the Trust Agreement, the legal governing document establishing the Trust, has been amended and restated numerous times. The Guiding Principles have always aligned with the Mission Statement "to foster a stable, sustainable, innovative health care environment in which employees have access to comprehensive, high quality and affordable health benefits that positively influence their health."
The Association launched its Accreditation Portal to vastly improve the online collaborative and storage capacity of important school reports required by the ISAS accreditation process and to modernize the way in which schools and the Standards Committee do their work.
ISAS celebrated 60 years of "Serving our Students. Sharing our Discoveries. Upholding our Values."in the Southwest region of the United States with 87 accredited member schools. Since 2006, ISAS has accredited 12 new member schools, accredited added grades or divisions at 11 ISAS schools, and removed two schools' accreditations. ISAS serves a student population of over 55,000 and a faculty and staff community of nearly 7,000.
April, 2017, the ISAS Arts Festival returned home to its founding school, Casady School in Oklahoma City for the 50th Anniversary of coming together to showcase artistic passion and accomplishment. Approximately 3,500 upper school students gather each year to meet adjudicators for evaluative assessments, for inspired peer sharing, and the most anticipated fun event of the school year for artists. This is the only national independent school student artist event of its kind.
ISAS began a new era under the adept leadership of Scott Griggs, former Head of School at Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, after Rhonda Durham's retirement.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Wednesday vowed justice for the Islamist killers of American journalist James Foley, as officials revealed that U.S. forces had launched a secret raid inside Syria last month to rescue him and other captives only to find they had been moved.
As Obama spoke, U.S. forces launched 14 new airstrikes against the Islamic State, in defiance of the group's threat Tuesday to kill a second American journalist if Obama didn't end the attacks. European leaders, meanwhile, moved toward a more aggressive stand.
Obama stressed that U.S. airstrikes would continue, and he indicated that the United States would pursue Foley's killers.
"When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done. And we act against ISIL, standing alongside others," he said, using the official U.S. acronym for the Islamic State, a spinoff of al-Qaida.
White House officials pointed to last month's attempt to underscore that the U.S. would spare no effort.
A team of several dozen U.S. special forces operators entered Syria over the July 4 weekend, only to discover once on the ground that the captives had been moved, senior U.S. officials said Wednesday.
The raid is the first known instance of U.S. troops crossing into Syria since the civil war erupted there in mid-2012. The disclosure offered insight into how much intelligence the United States had gathered on the whereabouts of Foley and the undisclosed number of other Americans held by the Islamic State.
Obama authorized the raid after several threads of intelligence pinpointed the location of the prisoners, senior administration officials said.
"The president authorized action at this time because it was the national security team's assessment that these hostages were in danger with each passing day," said Lisa Monaco, an assistant national security adviser.
The force arrived at the site by air, conducted a search on foot and left after discovering that the hostages were not there, the officials said. The U.S. troops came under fire as they departed and shot back, and one special forces operator was injured aboard one of the departing aircraft.
"We do believe that there were a good number of ISIL casualties," a senior administration official said.
The officials declined to disclose how long the operators were on the ground or where the raid took place.
Many experts believe that Foley and other foreigners were being held in northern Syria, large parts of which were overrun in 2013 by the Islamic State, which established its headquarters in Raqqa, the provincial capital of a northeastern Syrian province of the same name.
An Islamic State aide told McClatchy on July 4 that helicopter-borne American forces flew into the al Ikairsha area of Raqqa province and stormed an Islamic State base named Camp Osama bin Laden.
The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the U.S. raiding party killed five militants and injured many more before departing.
The Islamic State viewed the attack as "strange" and saw it as the start of a "sacred war" between the group and "the grandchildren of apes and pigs," the aide said.
While Obama has vowed U.S. combat troops won't return to Iraq, the Pentagon is considering a request from the State Department to send additional U.S. military to Iraq to boost security for U.S. personnel based there, said a U.S. official who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the issue publicly.
The request was up to 300 additional security personnel in and around Baghdad, the official said, adding "there are no indications it was in response to a specific threat against Americans in Baghdad."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel would have to approve the request, but he has not personally received it yet, said the U.S. official. Moreover, he continued, "if past is prologue," the administration would seek congressional authorization for the additional troops.
Some 749 U.S. troops have been sent to Iraq since the Islamic State overran the northern city of Mosul on June 10 and then advanced south to the outskirts of Baghdad, overrunning roughly one-half of Iraq in cooperation with Sunni Muslim tribes alienated by the sectarian policies of the majority Shiite-dominated government.
Most of those U.S. personnel were posted to a joint operations center in the Kurdish regional capital of Irbil that's coordinating U.S. airstrikes and Iraqi ground operations against the Islamic State.
There was a sense within part of the Pentagon that the decision to execute Foley and threaten to kill a second American journalist, Steven Joel Sotloff, suggested that the U.S. airstrikes were having an impact and that the video represented an attempt to stop them.
Yet other Pentagon officials feared that Foley's death was an effort by the Islamic State to further draw the United States into the Iraq crisis as a way of bolstering its claim that the group is defending from outside attacks.
Obama said that he'd spoken to Foley's family in New Hampshire, telling them, "We are all heartbroken at their loss."
Foley's life, Obama said, "stands in stark contrast to his killers," whom he said have "rampaged across cities and villages, killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence."
Secretary of State John Kerry issued a harsher condemnation. "ISIL and the wickedness it represents must be destroyed, and those responsible for this heinous, vicious atrocity will be held accountable," Kerry vowed.
Foley's grieving parents spoke with reporters for more than an hour outside their home, telling reporters their son had wanted to "bear witness to all the suffering."
"He had an incredible heart and he always cared about people who were suffering — and that's why he went back," said his mother, Diane Foley.
Foley's father, John, said he asked Obama to "do whatever he could possibly do" to save the lives of Sotloff and others being held.
"It haunts me, how much pain he was in and how cruel this method of execution is," his father said. "He was courageous to the end. … We believe he was a martyr for freedom."
Foley, 40, of Rochester, N.H., was taken prisoner in Syria in November 2012 while on assignment for the Global Post, an online news site. Sotloff, a Miami native, has been missing in Syria since August 2013. He wrote for the Christian Science Monitor, Time magazine and other publications.
Amid worldwide revulsion over Foley's execution, British Prime Minister David Cameron said that the masked, black-clad Islamic State fighter who killed Foley appeared to be one of up to 400 Britons estimated to have joined the terrorist group.
"We have not identified the individual but it looks increasingly likely that it is a British citizen," Cameron told reporters after breaking from a vacation to return to London to consult with his top aides on the Iraq crisis. "This is deeply shocking. We know that far too many British citizens have traveled to Iraq and traveled to Syria to take part in extremism."
Before executing Foley, the fighter warned Obama that Sotloff would be killed unless U.S. airstrikes ended, speaking in fluent English with an accent that some experts reportedly associated with north London.

I'm glad someone brought this up. To be honest it's quite
amusing to hear all the American specialists on the Belgian
flap. See, I used to live in the most southern part of Holland
VERY close to Belgium at the time of the flap,and me and my
family had several sightings ourselves. Now I know that no one's
going to say: "Oh well, if you say so and saw it..." right now
But I strongly doubt these things were made by one of our own. I
suspect this for following reasons: First of all the absence of
any sound. Then there is the capabilty of these objects to stand
still in mid air, rotate around its own axis and accelerate to
enormous speed at once, from a stationary position.
One of the eye-witnesses there with us, is the Head of the
Eurocontrol Educational Centre, the european Air Traffic
Control. We were (and still _are_) absolutely certain that
whatever those things were, there weren't ours. But there's
another thing that bothers me in the Secret Aircraft Hypothesis:
These objects were seen over Belgium and a few over the south of
Holland. If those things were secret aircraft then why would
they test-fly 'em over one of the most crowded places in Europe?
We also must assume they were from the Belgian Air Force, and
that also strikes me as somewhat ridiculous, with what budget
would they do that? If these things were from NATO or even the
USAF why in the world would Belgium spend hundred of thousands of
dollars to try and intercept these things with F-16s? Or does
anyone honestly think they wouldn't be briefed by NATO or the
I'm not saying that _all_ triangle sightings are therefore
'unknowns'. But the idea that _all_ FTs are man-made doesn't
really hold up neither. Remember, there are triangle-sightings
(and photos) from as far back as 1966. And these FTs were
spotted above the USSR? Also Stealth-technology? That doesn't go
for me, sorry people!

We had our first visit to the backup Obgyn today and it went well. Almost everything was once again perfect.
I must say she did a very thorough check on baby and me, and she said the main purpose was for her to assess whether I still have a low risk pregnancy and we got the go ahead for the water birth. That was such good news, and we could book our room at the clinic with a happy heart.
We got a scan of our baby, but the doctor forgot to give us the one picture she took of our baby's testicles. I guess I was spoiled with the scans we got at the other lady, because there we got at least 10 pictures every time, and a DVD, today we got nothing! Or not completely true, at least we got to see our baby again, and that was all worth it! It's been a long 6 weeks since we last saw our baby.
Not that we could see much – he has grown so much that we could only see parts of him and we also couldn't really see him move around like last time. But I must say, I've heard these last scans in the last weeks are a bit disappointing compared to the second trimester scans. One thing is still for sure, we are definitely having a boy – the dr said she usually tells her patients that she is only 80% sure, but this time she can say with confidence she is 100% sure it's a boy. Not that we doubted it, because it's been very definite ever since we had our 12 weeks scan, and every single scan afterwards as well.
Our baby's heartbeat was 133bpm today and dr was so happy with it, right in the middle of the range it should be and a strong and even heartbeat. She measured him and he is still very much an average size baby, at approx 2.2kg's now, and she estimates he should gain about 150g per week so he should be close to 3.2kg's at full term. Not too big for me to push out! Also he was lying head down again today, perfectly with his back in the right position. My placenta was also fine, no more worries about a low lying placenta that can interfere with our birth plans. She could still see the accessory lobe but that is just fine, they must just know about it, so that they can make sure it comes out with the rest of the placenta at birth. The only thing that was not perfect at the scan was my amniotic fluid seemed a bit low, but the dr said I must just stay hydrated and get into the pool everyday, which I do anyway in this heat!
My urine test was once again much better; a low reading of glucose, much lower than last week, but the dr still wants me to go for a fasting glucose test. She thinks I might be a borderline gestational diabetic, and wants to see the blood results. I think my diet changes helped a bit, but I must also give the glory to God, because I once again actively believed that He will heal me, and we could see that all was much better so I know He did! At least the ketones were normal and I gained 900g again in the last week and a half. In total that brings me up to just over 7 kg's gained in my pregnancy to date. The doctor was extremely happy with that.
I got my second anti-D injection today, even though they could not find my blood results from the test I had done 2 days ago. So I don't know whether there were any antibodies yet. I guess I'll find out at my next midwife check up.
Our baby is very active these days, and the dr and the midwives keep on telling me I need to count the baby's movements per hour, but I don't because he moves so much it's really not a worry to me. My whole bump often rocks from side to side and one can even see the bumps coming up at times. Sometimes it feels like he is trying to claw out of my tummy, when he does that. DH and I often sit and laugh at his antics, especially at night.
O, by the way, our baby has a name now – but we aren't telling anyone yet. I keep on telling everyone that it's going to be a surprise and I must say some people are not too happy with us! Especially my sister, she is so curious and she was really disappointed when we didn't want to tell her. We played a trick on her – we told her a name, which is a made up name, a combination of my name and DH's name, because we know she does not like it at all when people do that, but she didn't fall for that one. She knew immediately we were winding her up…

It's unbelievable how time flies! It's almost a year ago that I came to Sydney to start a new chapter of my life. This winter, I don't feel the trepidation navigating unfamiliar streets and adjusting to the cold weather. Everything seems to be beautifully in place...I can't stop to feel grateful for surviving the first year here... And so my thought wandered, as I physically meandered through stone pavement and made my way to Creperie Suzette.
Creperie Suzette is located next to Harbour Rocks Hotel Sydney, at the heart of one of Sydney's icons, The Rocks. It's a small but cosy corner shop that has a dedicated take away booth, which is great for those who are rushing but needs that warm cup of cafe on the go. But if you have more time to spare, there are ample spaces inside. Round, off-white marble tables with traditional bentwood chair adorns the interior, on each sat a jar of what looks like morning glory flowers.
The menu at Creperie Suzette is written with chalk on the wall behind the counter, so that saves the need to print fancy menu book, and I believe allows more flexibility to change the items according to the season! One could choose either the savoury galettes or sweet crêpes and my eyes were stuck to one item that's rather unique: La Pekinoise - grilled peking duck, spring onion, mature cheddar cheese and hoisin sauce.
|La Pekinoise galette AUD 16
While waiting for the galette, we enjoyed our coffee (mine's a mocha, as always) and chatted about living in Sydney. How it's a love and hate (mostly love though) relationship: love the beautiful and mildly temperate weather, the beaches and the mountains, the parks and the skyscrapers, but hate the high living cost. If we work hard, surviving is not difficult, but to be rich, that may require harder work and a streak of luck (I guess).
Lastly for dessert, we had La Caramel au Beurre Salé - sweet & soft crêpe with salted caramel, slivered almonds and vanilla ice cream.
|La Caramel au Beurre Salé AUD 15
Sydney, you never fail to lift my mood! Just when I started to (almost) give in to the end of semester's assignment load, a quick stroll around the beautiful CBD and a nourishing brunch at The Rocks lifted up my mood and inspired me to write the last 2,000 words essay. Hallelujah!
I was invited by Creperie Suzette through FCBA Community (@fcba.community) and all dishes were served with compliments. This blog nor photos were not obligated nor promised and all opinions expressed here are my own discretion.

As the Eerie Horror Film Festival entered its third year, no one could have imagined, or been prepared for, how huge of a horror event it would shape up to be. For those of you who are not familiar with it, the Eerie Horror Film Festival is an annual event dedicated to showcasing the best, weirdest, and most beloved of the horror genre. It takes place every October in Erie, Pennsylvania. The last two years, the event has been nestled within the cozy walls of the Roadhouse Theatre, but now it moves to the much larger Erie Playhouse.
Everything about the third year of the Eerie Horror Film Festival just seems to be bigger and badder than the previous two. Not only has Festival Director Greg Ropp moved the Festival from to the grandly prominent Erie Playhouse, but he has also received a tremendous amount of entries for the fest, far more than in previous years. The Festival seemed to be expanding nicely . . . until it went Nova.
Two little words just sent the Eerie Horror Film Festival into the stratosphere:
George Romero.
Yes, you read correctly, the great godfather of the Living Dead will be present at the third annual Eerie Horror Film Festival. Frightful fans of the Fest will have their opportunity to meet with Romero, who will be on hand for a celebration of his film career.
Greg Ropp, one of the men instrumental in the creation of the festival three years ago, is thrilled with the development. "I was determined to have a major player in the horror field as the Guest of Honor for our 2006 Eerie Horror Film Festival, and I aimed pretty damned high to say the least!" he recently said. "On my wish list I wrote down the names of Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie, and George A. Romero. Though all of these legends were long shots at best, I thought that Romero was the one true pipe dream of the bunch. Little did I know that a series of odd events would lead to a phone call from George's manager and to a booking of one of the most admired and beloved horror directors of all time at our film festival in October! I am just as amazed as anyone else that this is happening, and it hasn't really sunk in yet! It's truly an honor to have George with us at our Fest this year, and our organization is thrilled to be able to share this experience with all of his fans as well! This is going to be one hell of a weekend for all of us!"
For those of you who are not familiar with the Eerie Horror Film Festival, it is a five-day, competition based marathon of wall-to-wall horror films. Last year Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen, visited the shores of Lake Erie and regaled all of us with his tales of living the Chainsaw experience. The year before Lionsgate premiered Saw at the fest two weeks before it played at theatres. This year the fest runs from October 4th through the 8th. Entries for film submissions are still being accepted. Visit the festival's website right here for all details!
