San Diego: Ground Zero for Islamic Indoctrination in American Public Schools
With a decade-long history of yielding to Islamic demands and recent, more alarming submissions, San Diego city schools appear to be ground zero for Islamic indoctrination within American public schools. The current capitulation includes an Islam-centric curriculum with input and resources from a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organization, which raises First Amendment issues as well as serious concerns of favoritism toward Muslims students over students of other faiths.
The San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) history of accommodation to the demands of Muslim students began in 2007. That year, Carver Elementary School in East San Diego ignited controversy when 100 Somali Muslim students transferred from a closed charter school. To accommodate these new students, the school rescheduled its recess periods to allow a 15-minute break each afternoon for Muslim prayer. The school also added Arabic to its curriculum and removed pork and other non-halal food from the cafeteria. The outcry forced the school to rescind the break, but it simply shifted the lunch hour to accommodate Muslim prayer. SDUSD wasn't as accommodating to a Christian student in 1993 and was successfully sued when it denied a high school student's request for a lunchtime Bible study group.
This past week, SDUSD, in collaboration with the Council on American Islam Relations (CAIR), instituted an anti-bullying campaign aimed specifically at protecting Muslims students. In launching the initiative, SDUSD cited an unsubstantiated study by CAIR claiming that 55% of American Muslim students surveyed in California said they were bullied because of their religion. The new program will include adding lessons on Islam to the social studies curriculum that emphasize prominent Muslims in history, creating Muslim-only "safe spaces," adding Muslim holidays to the school calendar, and providing support and resources for Muslim students during Ramadan.
According to Stan Anjan, SDUSD's executive director of family and community engagement, the new program will focus on promoting a positive image of Islam. Special disciplinary measures will also be created for the so-called bullying of Muslims cited by CAIR. Instead of detention, the school plans a "restorative justice" program in which students dialogue with each other about perceived bullying words or actions. Educational materials on Islam and resource listings will be provided to parents and school personnel as well.
CAIR, "a radical fundamentalist front group for Hamas," according to terrorism expert Steve Emerson, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror-funding case brought by the Justice Department in 2007. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce terrorist groups Hamas and Hezb'allah, and several CAIR executives have been successfully prosecuted and incarcerated for terrorist activities. CAIR was designated as a terrorist group by the UAE in 2014.
In 2015, Kevin Beiser and Michael McQuary, two members of the SDUSD Board of Education, issued a formal proclamation in support and recognition of CAIR San Diego, citing ten years of "constructive civic engagement" in San Diego and Imperial Counties. They praised the organization's work to "promote not only religious and cultural tolerance and understanding but also justice and equality for all who live in the United States."
CAIR director Hanif Mohebi was specifically complimented for his commitment to "promoting equitable educational opportunity for all students and preparing them to succeed in a culturally diverse society." The trustees recognized a community partnership with CAIR in mediating school situations involving "discrimination and other behavioral issue[s]" and announced CAIR's upcoming tenth anniversary banquet, centered on the theme "Strengthening Our Voices, Advancing Together."
CAIR, billing itself as a benign Muslim civil rights organization, has long been at the forefront in pressuring schools and businesses to accommodate the special needs of Muslims. In 2009, CAIR complained of favoritism when Christian students in Roseville, a Detroit suburb, were given permission slips to attend off-site Bible study classes. Yet CAIR pushed in 2012 for Dearborn public schools to accommodate Muslim prayer on school grounds and early Friday dismissals for Jumu'ah prayers. The organization has pressured schools to have a say on textbook selection and to feature its own lecturers for school assemblies. When a public school teacher in Concrete, Washington referenced the Taliban and Hamas while citing examples of the use of violence to bully people, CAIR cried "racism" and called for a federal investigation, saying the teacher had veered off topic to make anti-Muslim statements. The school district responded that the teacher's comments were taken out of context.
Mohebi, the head of CAIR San Diego, has been pushing the "anti-Islamophobia" program. He recently tried to prevent the San Diego Police Department from attending a training session on Islamic terrorism featuring Ryan Mauro, national security analyst for the Clarion Project, a nonprofit dedicated to exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism. Mohebi said officers would be learning "conspiracy theories" from Mauro. Further, Mohebi importuned that no taxpayer dollars should pay for the training and that the SDPD should not confer continuing education credits for attendance. In a further attempt to control police training on Islam, Mohebi requested the ability to monitor police training to vouch for its accuracy and to provide clarifications throughout the session.
CAIR's recent activity and its incursion into the San Diego schools' curriculum has been criticized by Charles LiMandri, president and chief counsel of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF). LiMandri said the San Diego program represents a "wholesale realignment of school curricula and the students' learning environment to the recommendations of a religious organization whose stated mission is to "enhance the understanding of Islam" and "empower American Muslims."
The FCDF maintains that the First Amendment prohibits a government agency from attempting to effect a secular goal by the propagation of religious concepts. LiMandri points out the litigious pitfalls of a curriculum which could easily be construed as a governmental endorsement of a religion. He also cautions that CAIR's interpretation of the term "bullying" could extend to the stifling of criticism of Islam, further impinging on First Amendment protections.
Citizens for Quality Education San Diego, a non-partisan group of citizens concerned about public education, voiced their opposition to the new Islamic-friendly curriculum and characterized it as an attempt to implement at local schools "anti-American sharia law," incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. The group criticized the blatant singling out of the Muslim religion for special accommodations and demanded that the policy be rescinded. Despite widespread community outcry, the district seems to be moving ahead.
If allowed to stand, the SDUSD anti-bullying program - geared specifically to the CAIR-identified needs of Muslim students - could mark a dangerous departure from treasured constitutional principles and First Amendment protections. This case warrants serious attention, as it has grave implications for the direction of education and the supremacy of Islam in the nation.
Government Schools: Sowing the Seeds of Our Destruction
Several years ago, the Independent Institute honored Andy Garcia at our unforgettable Gala for Liberty (other honorees that evening were Bill Bowes and Desmond Tutu).
There was not a dry eye in the house (including his) as Andy Garcia recounted his memories of leaving his home, Cuba, at the age of 5.
Once the Castros had seized power, they passed a law giving the State full rights over all children. As I had been taught by my true-believing Marxist Development Economics professors at Stanford, this is how you build the "New Man" that makes Socialism the ideal society.
Cuban parents not wanting their children to be raw material for Marxist experiments, instead made the ultimate sacrifice and turned their children over to the Catholic church's Peter Pan project, under which their children were flown to live in freedom with families in the United States—not knowing if they would ever see their children again, and many of whom did not.
After Andy Garcia's mother reported to his father that she had seen Andy (at the age of 5) marching and singing the Internationale, his family joined the exodus. Fortunately, Andy's father was able to later also leave Cuba, and the family was reunited in Florida:
How amazing then that American parents living in liberty, which while increasingly imperfect, still far exceeds the vast majority of the globe, willingly deliver their children for indoctrination to the government school system.
Earlier this week, I received an eNewsletter from an Oakland School Board Director, proudly reporting:
Earlier this week I attended May Day activities at San Antonio Park in Oakland. Students, immigrants and workers from every corner of Oakland gathered for teach-ins, and to stand up for workers, immigrants, and a socially just city and country. I helped kids to make protest signs for the march, and it was awesome to see the next generation of organizers and activists in action.
How different from the photos of this week's protests against the government of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, including of protestors being run over by armored military vehicles.
As Independent Institute Adjunct Fellow Charlotte Twight puts it in our book, Future: Economic Peril or Prosperity?
Perhaps the only change potentially capable of bringing peaceful transformation to a more free society is complete severance of education from government. This change would eliminate the system that has inculcated generations of children in statism and collectivism, reduced children's capacity for reason and logic, and deprived them of lessons of history about the nature of governance and governments' misuse of power.
In the meantime, please encourage every parent you know to withdraw from the government education system to help ensure our children a brighter future.
Australia: School's bid to ban Mother's Day 'blocked'
A Melbourne primary school that scrapped its Mother's Day stall in the name of "diversity" and "inclusivity" is understood to have reversed the decision after a phone call from a concerned parent — Bill Shorten.
Moonee Ponds West Primary School was facing a backlash from parents shocked to read in this week's newsletter that the stall — where children can spend their pocket money on small, token gifts for their mother or another "significant loved one" — would not be going ahead.
Instead, principal Jeff Lyon revealed, the school would celebrate UN International Day of Families. "I believe celebrating International Day of Families is a more inclusive way of celebrating the richness, diversity and complexity of living and loving as a family in the modern world," Mr Lyon wrote. "The day highlights the importance of all caregivers in families, be it parents, grandparents or siblings and the importance of parental education for the welfare of children."
The Opposition Leader, whose daughter goes to Moonee Ponds West, rang the school late yesterday. He said the decision had been reversed.
Asked to comment on the decision by the school, which is in Mr Shorten's electorate, he described it as a "wonderful'' institution. "I've spoken to the principal this evening and I understand there will be a Mother's Day stall," he said.
Samantha Hanna, who went to the school as a child and sends her children Isabela, Dante and Didier there, said parents had been surprised by the move.
"I remember as a kid lining up and agonising over whether to get mum the soap on the rope or the scented candle, and now I love getting these little gifts ... from my own kids," Ms Hanna said.
"I know that there are some single parent families at the school, and for those mums this is probably the only gift they will get from their children. I understand that some don't have mums around but it is a good time to think about the importance of mums and dads and the role they play in our lives. I'm glad to hear it's been reinstated."
While some parents were dismayed about the initial decision, other politicians weighed in with concerns about the advent of political correctness in the school playground.
Victorian Education Minister James Merlino distanced himself from the move. "While these are local decisions, I would have thought Mother's Day was a great opportunity to celebrate not just mums but other carers and family members," he said. "I know I will be spoiling my mother this Mother's Day."
Opposition education spokesman Nick Wakeling pointed the finger at the Andrews government for forcing "political correctness" on schools. "Mother's Day is about celebrating the maternal figures in our lives, whether it is mum, grandma, an aunt or a female mentor, and honouring their contribution as women in society," he said. "If it's not banning the signing of traditional Christmas carols or reading classical fairy tales, (Premier) Daniel Andrews' attack on our cultural traditions continues."
Mr Lyon was not available for comment last night.

TLC Next Great Presenter Top 3
Fri 23 Sep 2016, 09:00
Drumroll please…the TLC Next Great Presenter, in association with Colgate Optic White, Top 3 finalists have been announced!
After four grueling days of boot camp training sessions, expert coaching and tough challenges, we are excited to reveal the Top 3 who have made it through to the public vote.
The Top 3 finalists, as selected by the panel of expert judges including Thando Thabethe, are: Carissa Cupido from South Africa, Charlie Karumi from Kenya and Karen Paida Mukwedeya from Zimbabwe.
As of Monday 10 October, the public will have the opportunity to choose TLC's Next Great Presenter by voting for their favourite from the three finalists. The lucky winner will jet off to London and present a brand new four-part series, TLC's Most Extreme, set to premiere on TLC Entertainment (135) early next year, and receive an all-expenses paid holiday to the Palace of the Lost City, courtesy of Sun International.
Here are the Top 3:
Carissa Cupido - Cape Town, South Africa
"I'm excited and terrified all at the same time! What an honour to be representing South Africa on such a dynamic international platform. Boot camp taught me the true meaning of self-belief and I will forever be thankful to TLC for this opportunity."
Charlie Karumi – Nairobi, Kenya
"I still can't believe that I was chosen – it feels unreal and totally unbelievable! I've been dreaming about becoming a TV presenter since primary school. Through this process I have learnt how to thrive on and become more accustomed to pressure – I'm ready for the next phase!"
Karen Paida Mukwedeya – Harare, Zimbabwe
"My biggest take out from boot camp is that I need to believe in myself as much as the judges do. I have a deep appreciation for what it means to be a TV presenter and I'm ready to take on the task of becoming TLC's Next Great Presenter."
Celebrity judge Thando Thabethe says, "We chose the Top 3 based on who best represented TLC and performed best during the boot camp challenges. However, our job is done and the public will now choose the winner, so the Top 3 need to campaign, campaign, campaign! It's now a popularity contest, so whoever can get the most people to rally behind them will make it through as TLC's Next Great Presenter."
"Choosing the Top 3 was incredibly difficult, as all the semi-finalists were extremely talented. But after watching the final boot camp challenges, it was clear there were three people who had true Next Great Presenter potential. For me, the Top 3 each represent the different sides of TLC; whether it's the fun, zany side; the heart-warming documentaries; or the edgy fashion programmes. My advice to Charlie, Karen and Carissa would be to work on their campaigns and do whatever they can to make TLC viewers see what we saw, and vote for them," said Lee Hobbs, VP of Brand and Content for Discovery Networks CEEMEA.
Voting will open on Monday,10 October and close on Wednesday 16 November, where the winner will be crowned live at a glitzy event in Johannesburg.
To vote for your favourite finalist, visit the TLC Next Great Presenter website.

The focus of this work is to develop an energy-aware path planning algorithm that maximizes UAS endurance, while performing sampling and surveillance missions in a known, stationary wind environment. The energy-aware aspect is specifically tailored to extract energy from the wind to reduce thrust use, thereby increasing aircraft endurance. Wind energy extraction is performed by static soaring and dynamic soaring. Static soaring involves using upward wind currents to increase altitude and potential energy. Dynamic soaring involves taking advantage of wind gradients to exchange potential and kinetic energy. The path planning algorithm developed in this work uses optimization to combine these soaring trajectories with the overarching sampling and surveillance mission.
The path planning algorithm uses a simplified aircraft model to tractably optimize soaring trajectories. This aircraft model is presented and along with the derivation of the equations of motion. A nonlinear program is used to create the soaring trajectories based on a given optimization problem. This optimization problem is defined using a heuristic decision tree, which defines appropriate problems given a sampling and surveillance mission and a wind model.
Simulations are performed to assess the path planning algorithm. The results are used to identify properties of soaring trajectories as well as to determine what wind conditions support minimal thrust soaring. Additional results show how the path planning algorithm can be tuned between maximizing aircraft endurance and performing the sampling and surveillance mission. A means of trajectory stitching is demonstrated to show how the periodic soaring segments can be combined together to provide a full solution to an infinite/long horizon problem.

- Most elementary classrooms have a Word Wall. You can make one at your house too. It can be as simple as a list of words on a piece of paper and taped somewhere for your child to access easily.
- Flash cards. Simple enough to make out of index cards or torn paper. You can help make flash cards fun by playing games with your student.
|Source (and some game ideas)
- Use a flashlight to point to the words.
- Make a pointer together and point to the words.
- Use special site word sunglasses.
- Cut up the flashcards and have your kiddo put them together (you can even make it into a puzzle).
- Tape the flash cards around a wall and toss a bean bag at them as they are read. Or turn it into a game of Hop Scotch or even Twister.
- Use a fly swatter and when you say the word your kiddo has to swat the right word. How fun if you wrote the words on bug shaped paper and swatted them with the swatter?!
- Play Go Fish with the flash cards.
- Turn them into a Memory/Matching game.
- Turn them into Popcorn Words. I did this a few times and the kids loved it! Check out this blog as an example. I did some similar activitites.
- Practice site words by writing them in different ways. Remember that your kiddo won't just be expected to read their site words, but write them in their journals. Use stamps, chalk, markers, magnetic letters, white boards, a salt tray, etc. Let your student fill in the missing letters.
- Use clothes pins and let your kiddo make site words with them.
- Create site word sentences and have your student fill in the missing word. Or come up with notes and silly stories using all the words they know how to read.
- Create a site word Bingo game.
- Play Hide and Seek. Hide the words around a room and have your child read them to you as he/she finds them.
- Here are some cute games using a muffin tin and other simply household items.
Just remember these three things:
- All people learn in different ways so be sensitive to your child's learning style(s).
- Your student will need to practice their site words so that they can easily identify/read them AND write them.
- Learning should be FUN! Keep it simple and keep it fun.
Do you have any fabulous ways that you help your kids at home? Please share in the comments!

Let's face it, going on holiday with a mate can be a bit risky, especially when you've known each other on and off for the best part of 35 odd years, and are well aware of each others 'funny' little ways. But don't let your funny little ways spoil your girly holiday.
It's one thing gossiping over the occasional coffee and sharing lunch in the UK, but quite a different matter sharing a small space with someone for a whole week in another country.
Will you still be friends at the end of it all, or, as soon as you arrive home will you be unfriending their 'face' before you unpack your case?
Well me and 'her' have just returned from a lovely sunny holiday in Greece, and as luck would have it, we ARE still speaking. Of course, there is always the possibility that she did actually want to kill me several times during the week, but if she did, she hid it well! http://www.grandbluehotel.gr/en/
In theory, there could have been a few 'on tour' hiccups. She has a wonky hip and will be the first to admit she probably won't be running for a bus anytime soon. What she probably WON'T admit is that she's also fiercely proud and accepting help or assistance with her mobility doesn't sit easily with her. So when faced with the offer of a wheelchair ride to take her to the plane, we did have a bit of a debate.
I was all for it, I'd even have sat on her good knee, but 'Miss Independent' was less convinced. In the end, under intense pressure from me, and the nice young man in the Escape Lounge, she caved in and off we roared to the departure gate. But that was just the start of the fun.
Whilst everyone else was boarding the plane by more conventional methods, (the stairs), her and me were hoisted up into a gigantic lift on wheels, and raised up to the top of the plane on the opposite side to everyone else. At one stage it looked as though we were heading for the cockpit, but then another door opened, and in we went, whilst everyone else just had to stand back waiting for us to pass. That made a pleasant change I can tell you.
It was becoming clear that rocking a wonky hip and walking stick could have its advantages!
Now only my mate who has mobility issues could choose a hotel that specifically stated in its blurb that it was NOT suitable for people with mobility issues. But it ticked every other box, and that small 'steep hill' detail was not going to get in her way.
I won't lie, we got to know the door to door buggy service drivers extremely well. This one was smiley, that one was grumpy. He took that corner a bit fast, the other one went far too slow.
And the brochure didn't lie. Steep was a tad on the understated side. Herself did herself and me proud though. Once the warmth had made its way into her bones, she gave far more able-bodied holidaymakers a run for their money, and even if she wasn't exactly 'running up that hill' in Kate Bush style, she was certainly giving it her best shot.
Maybe it was made easier by the Vodka calling to her from the bar. I couldn't possibly say….
But spare a thought for me, I too was obviously forced to tackle the hill myself, 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, none of us is getting any younger, but when you are on an All Inclusive deal, a person's got to eat, and so I suffered without complaining.
But what about our other little difference, the ones that 'could' have caused a spat on a girly holiday but didn't.
I'm very untidy, while she is neat as a pin. Despite it being late, she carefully unpacked her suitcase the minute we arrived in the room and hung everything up in the wardrobe, whilst I, ever the bloody lazy cow, simply lived out of my suitcase for a whole week, thus avoiding the job of having to pack it all again to come home.
She wasn't in the least bit surprised, she's known me for too long!
Whilst I'm no stranger to an Extra Strong Mint which I gratefully accepted on take off, I smiled at her bringing a vast selection of boiled sweets including Cough Candy, Pear Drops, and Murray Mints, and she did eventually appreciate the fact that I'd packed Shortcake Biscuits, Custard Creams, and Ginger Nuts when I served them with her early morning cup of tea! She needed the sugar fix to deal with the mess I can make with two tea bags and a kettle.
Still, on the neat and tidy theme, I had no difficulty in flooding the bathroom floor on several occasions, and herself played to her strengths and mopped up after me. All without swearing 'too' much.
But as technology is not her strongest point, with my 'sensible' head on, (and after she'd locked all our valuables in there), I worked out the workings of the safe, (several times), took a pair of sharp scissors to the shower head so that it did more than spit water at us, and I mastered the complicated issue of unlocking the apartment door.
Very handy when one of you is running up the stairs, happy to share with your friend, the fact that you are busting for a poo.
In return, she kindly tackled the hill once all on her own, when she went foraging for wine and crisps to see me through one of those 'can't be bothered to go out' nights. Oh, and a bottle of Vodka found its way into the bag too. Funny that…..
One of the nice things about being good 'mature friends' is that you can be who you are, without fear of criticism or mocking. I knew herself would need to walk slowly on this holiday, but it was clear from our first little wander into the next village, that with a couple of alcoholic fuelled pit stops in friendly bars overlooking the sea, she could and would walk a little bit further than she thought she might. But, I was tuned in enough to know when enough was enough, and we needed to find a taxi to get back.
She accepted my 'itchy feet' with good grace and made a huge effort to walk the walk to keep me from getting bored when she probably would have been happy to stay on the sunbed.
For the first few days I was engrossed big time in a 'whodunnit' and couldn't put it down, and I probably didn't make sparkling conversation until 'the end', BUT, how great that once she started reading it, I felt happy when she stopped talking too and got just as engrossed in it as I had been.
It does go to prove that even if you don't or can't quite do things the same as each other, with a bit of compromise and flexibility, you can still go on a girly holiday together and not fall out.
I had a great time with my school gate mate, and I'd do it all again tomorrow!
She drunk more than me, I ate more than her and there's no arguing with that!

I started to read this book when I had a dark period of my life. When I started, it resonated deep within my soul. That feeling that sometimes God is distant, is unaware, is gone. As the title suggests, it's as if we're left in the dark by ourselves and no idea what to do.
Ted Kluck and Ronnie Martin share their experiences in moments like these not in a flippant way. They don't nonchalantly skim over their dark moments but allow you to dwell with them, perhaps feeling your own darkness in that time. Their answers are simple (maybe a bit too simple). Some of their reflections on scripture don't delve into the intricacies of the issue. For example, there's a reflection on Judas and how he basically never knew Jesus even though he did everything the disciples did (including miracles as implied). I think the context surrounding Judas is more intricate than that.
In the end, Kluck ends his section stating "it's only natural that a book on doubt/struggle would end here. At repentance. At joy." They are right in that in those dark moments, we don't necessarily abandon hope, but we abandon God (not the other way around). And like most things within the Christian faith, it is simple but definitely not easy.

The culture of self-regulation is changing and CRNNS is taking a fresh approach to the work we do as a result. What does this mean? We're embracing a relational approach to our regulatory work that allows us to emphasize our commitment to the safety and protection of the public. It will also enable us to find new and innovative ways of strengthening our relationships through better engagement with our many stakeholders.
As the regulatory body, we issue licenses to qualified RNs and NPs, set the nursing practice standards, approve nursing education programs, enhance the continuing competence of nurses, and address complaints received about nursing practice. Our new approach doesn't change what we do as an organization but it does change how we do it.
As a relational regulator our goal is always to build positive relationships by being transparent, inclusive and available to our stakeholders while delivering on our mandate to protect the public along with the hard work and dedication of 10,000+ registered nurses in our province.
As a 'right-touch' regulator, we approach our regulatory oversight by applying the minimal amount of regulatory force required to achieve a desired outcome. This means that we ask ourselves what risks we are trying to regulate while being focused on regulating that risk and balancing that oversight with the resources required to promote good practice and high quality nursing care. This approach to our work means that we are aware of the environments in which we operate because we look ahead. This better enables us to anticipate changes before they occur and respond in a proactive way that prevents and minimizes risks.

From Istanbul, Turkey:
My four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes two years ago. Since then, we have been using NovoRapid as bolus insulin and NPH Humulin N as basal insulin. Her A1c was 7.5, however, her blood sugars are really instable. She often has unexpected highs and lows. We inject NovoRapid after each meal and are carbohydrate counting. We inject NPH twice a day, at 1 p.m. (five units) and 11:30 p.m. (three units). If we switch her to Levemir, would her blood sugars be more stable? Is Levemir safe for children?
My daughter weighs 16 kg (35 pounds) and is 103 cm (3 feet, almost 4 inches). She also has celiac disease.
I think that the best basal insulin for your daughter is glargine (Lantus) given once a day. This will make a real change towards her blood sugar stabilization leading to a significant lowering of A1c as well.
As far as celiac is concerned, it's often associated with type 1 diabetes as both diseases are autoimmune mediated.

University Sq. to Universal Sq.
Presented to you is transformation from a Square for the University to universal square for the city. Universal Square is set to become the heart of a new creative precinct – a green core connecting between surrounding artist studios, galleries, community spaces and creative enterprise. The site will break beyond its current hard edge to merge with the surrounding streets creating a new, highly active civic space. Attracting diverse users to the area, Universal Square is set to become a new and exciting social centre for Melbourne.
Crowds spill out onto the street as the protestors prepare for the march along Swanston St to Federation Square via the State Library.
A band entertains the crowd in between keynote speakers at the Universal Square Autumn Lecture series held at the new amphitheatre stage. The level change of the sunken amphitheatre creates opportunity for seating. The existing gabion tower holds two state-of-the-art outdoor LCD screens – one facing south to the amphitheatre for smaller crowds (shown here) and the other facing north for larger public gatherings.
The old Pelham St roundabout is converted to a native grass garden. The crowd gathers around for the monthly art and craft market where many of the artist from the surround area exhibit and sell their works.
Within the park area, the points where pathways intersect provide places to sit and relax during the heat of summer, areas for small intimate gatherings and artist curated areas for public art exhibitions.

GREASY RIDER by Greg Melville
Published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill
Take two men, a 1985 Mercedes diesel station wagon, a grease car conversion kit, and the first cross country automobile trip made by H. Nelson Jackson as inspiration, mix it all together and you have a funny, informative, and thought provoking look at the future energy independence of our nation.
One of the things I liked most about this book is that it did not preach any one environmental doctrine. There is never one answer to a problem as complex as the one facing our environment today. This book takes a good hard look at our attitudes and how they work to move us forward or hold as back in the "fossil fuel age". Not only does it give us a very humorous look at two men on a cross country trip and what it takes for them to make it without relying on anything but used fry oil. It also gives us a beautiful snapshot of out vast country and the way one answer in one region most likely is not the answer in another.
It looks at different philosophies from a place of inquiry. Finding the merits of each idea and trying to find a common ground and complete understanding of what a particular environmental philosophy is trying to really say.
The book switches back and forth from the actual road trip memoir to specific tasks designed to learn more about different ways to become more energy efficient. I liked this on the level that everything in the book was very interesting to read. On another level however I sometimes found this distracting and seemed to slow down my reading progress. Overall the information throughout was great. At the end of the book a comprehensive list of sources is offered to learn more about what was discussed in the book.
I would suggest this book to anyone, period. We must make changes in the way we live. We can no longer live with the illusion that life can continue as it presently does at the rate that we are consuming our natural resources. The best thing about this book is that it puts many ideas into perspective and how all of the little pieces fit together. I hope readers will embrace this book for everything that it offers. The more we as citizens of the earth explore what is going on around us the better the outcome for all of us.

I like that *Greasy Rider* doesn't preach any one doctrine, as you say. It does sound like there's something for everyone (the reader will "get" what he/she is capable of)

The MLB Off-Season is officially underway with the Atlanta Braves trying to assemble the oldest pitching staff of all time. The Braves have signed Bartolo Colon (43) to a one year deal worth $12.5M and R.A. Dickey (42) for $7.5M this year and each have club options for next year as well. Atlanta is wasting no time building a veteran presence in their rotation and it appears they're trying to compete this year. Last season the Braves were 68-93, last in the NL East.
Colon had an All-Star like season in 2016 posting a 15-8 record with a 3.43 ERA for the Mets. Dickey wasn't as effective with Toronto going 10-15 with a 4.46 ERA. Since winning the NL Cy Young in 2012 for the Mets, Dickey has gone 49-52 with the Blue Jays but a return to the National League East could be a shot in the arm he needs. As it currently stands the Braves rotation would be: Julio Teheran, Michael Foltynewicz, R.A. Dickey, Bartolo Colon and Aaron Blair/Matt Wisler.
Below are the biggest names available in free agency:
- Yoenis Cespedes
- Dexter Fowler
- Justin Turner
- Kenley Jansen
- Aroldis Chapman
- Edwin Encarnacion
- Ian Desmond
- Wilson Ramos
- Rich Hill
- Carlos Beltran
- Jose Bautista
- Carlos Gomez
- Matt Wieters

It took a while but the Yankees finally pulled the trigger on a trade sending Brian McCann to the Houston Astros. It was apparent from the first week that Gary Sanchez debuted that he was going to be the short term and long term future of the New York Yankees behind the plate. Brian McCann who arrived in New York as a free agent in 2013 never found his groove. The five year, $85 million deal was a bold attempt to bring the Yankees back to relevancy but it failed, as did was his free agency mate Jacoby Ellsbury. In three seasons McCann hit .235 with 69 HR and 227 RBI. He steadily produced every year (23/75, 26/94, 20/58) but Yankees fans grew tired of the low average in proportion to his annual salary of $17 million. Add on the fact that Gary Sanchez had one of the most historic starts (.299/20/42 in 53 games) to a career, the Yankees had no choice but to move McCann now.
With McCann now in Houston he can resume his everyday job at catcher, where the Yankees had him split between catcher and designated hitter. McCann turns 33 this February and while he's definitely not a spring chicken he might have a year or two left behind the plate. It's worth noting that despite McCann's desired to catch every day he was a true professional and never once did he speak out against Joe Girardi or Gary Sanchez. In order to make the deal work the Yankees will absorb $11 million of the remaining $34 million on his contract. In exchange the Astros have sent two pitching prospects to the Yankees.

If you are a reader, you'll be ecstatic.
If you are a Christian, you'll be cheering.
If you are a friend, then I'm pretty sure you are at least one of the three above and will enjoy this. :)
No matter who you are, today I'm giving you a chance to take a stand. I'm putting before you a call to action. The background of this post goes something like this:
A few months back, I'd started thinking about all the junk in books, movies, etc. Then, a fellow blogger started the #RebelliousWriting movement. Many bloggers are joining. For writers, it's a plea to stop writing bad language, gruesome or inappropriate scenes, and to keep books clean. I'm also inviting readers to join by not supporting books with such unnecessary items, but to promote good books and warn people from the bad ones.
Who wants to sit down with the expectation of a good read and find their minds filled with unwanted things? I don't, and I'd reckon you don't either. So stand up and do your part. Whether you are an adult or teen, this applies to YOU. Don't sit back any longer and allow this.
I know that rebellion is often frowned upon, but this is one revolution that I have wholeheartedly dived into. I believe that rebellion can be used as my fundamental right for positive change in America. The United States Constitution guarantees my right to let my voice be heard.
The core of this is not against books in general; I'm personally rebelling against any and all books/movies/television/advertising/social media/news reports/cartoons/packaging/etc. that don't honor God. The Bible says in Philippians to keep your mind focused on things that are lovely, pure, praiseworthy, true, just, honorable, and of good report. That's the rebellion I'm joining. As Christians we shouldn't be allowing our minds to focus on unpleasantness. I also encourage you who have friends that engage in this sort of expression to show them another path. Let them see that they don't need this in order to enjoy themselves.
Come writers!
Come readers!
Come Christians!
Rebel with me today against entertainment and promotions that don't comply with Philippians 4:8 (above). Won't you join me?

Welcome to the Rebellion, Bethany!ReplyDelete
Just to add some further good news, the #RebelliousWriting movement is releasing a website on August 9, 2017. We are also on Twitter and Pinterest with more social media coming soon.
Yes! I heard about that! Looking forward to then. :) Thank you for commenting!Delete

Virtual high five to you, Bethany! I can't tell you the number of times I have picked up a well-reviewed book, started reading it, and then put it down because it was just too graphic. I really don't know at what point that "good writing" meant "disturbing for the sake of disturbing," but it's highly disappointing. I have better luck with young adult fiction, but even in that genre, there are a few surprises. --JessicaReplyDeleteReplies
That is truly disappointing when you expect a good read and it turns out dirty. :( Thank goodness for good authors who don't write like that!Delete
Great post, Bethany!ReplyDelete
Nice post. Very well said. :)ReplyDeleteReplies

I would consider myself a rebolutinary. Yes you read correctly it is a movement for teens to stand up to low expectations and do more than what is expected of us to do. I would be honerd to join this revolution! *Bows* I agree full heartedly that there is a big problem with what is considered acceptable these days. I am at your disposal to help further aide in this revolution! Keep up the good fight Bethany! Keep showing those doubters what it is to be a strong Christian teen!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for your dedication to the cause and agreement! I appreciate your support! :D The world needs more people willing to take a stand for their beliefs. Keep it up!Delete
That is so wonderful to hear, Michael!Delete
Rebellious Writing are always looking for clean book suggestions. I'm starting to recruit an army of "book scouts" to contribute to a possible reading list that will be on the website. If you (or anyone else for that matter) would like to help with that, please email the team (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Sounds awesome! It's so disappointing to pick up a book and have to wade through content I wasn't expecting or wanting to read. (Case in point: I recently read Maggie Stiefvater's "The Raven King" and found myself torn between fantastic storytelling and less-than-fantastic content.)ReplyDeleteReplies
Absolutely! Disappointing is the perfect word for it, and sometimes altogether disgusting. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!Delete

Is there a way we can be notified when an employee is placed on the JotForm bounce list?
- JotForm SupportJim_RAnswered on April 01, 2017 at 07:55 AM
Sadly, there's no real notification in place for when an email goes to the Bounce List. The only way to get sort of notified is if you meet these 2 conditions:
1. If your registered email is the same as your recipient email
2. If you login to your account right at the moment it is in the bounce list
As soon as you login to your JotForm Account, if the system sees that your email is in the Bounce List, you'll be presented with this modal popup:
You can then either change your registered email or remove it from the Bounce List. Now, I understand this would be inconvenient if you happen to be using different email addresses as recipients for different forms so, as an alternative, I think a better way to know is to check your Email History logs.
1. Prior to contacting us, check your EMAIL HISTORY logs if you suspect you're not receiving emails. Here's How-to-View-All-Your-Form-Email-History
2. If you found some emails showing as FAILED or IN BOUNCE/BLOCK LIST on your EMAIL HISTORY, check these emails if they are on the Bounce List and remove them by following this guide on How-to-Remove-Your-Email-Address-from-Bounce-List
3. Lastly, here's a quick guideline on How-to-Prevent-Email-Bouncing-Related-Issues
4. If you want more control over the email sending, you may also try using your own SMTP sender: How-to-Setup-SMTP-for-a-Form
I know the guides and steps above may look generic but please take your time following them (especially items #1 to #2).
