This concludes from Part 4 (Table of Contents in Part 1), a series repristinating the praise of the fathers of the Synodical Conference, especially Adolf Hoenecke.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This last portion of the quote from Adolf Hoenecke shows especially why Franz Pieper called Hoenecke a "true theologian". Hoenecke sums up the greatest features of the theology of C.F.W. Walther:
Extract from Franz Pieper's Christliche Dogmatik, vol. 1, pp. 206, 208-211; translation by BackToLuther, not from Christian Dogmatics, vol. 1, pp. 171 n230, 173-174. Bolding is mine.—————— (concluded from Part 4) ——————
The Scripture was for Walther God's Word and nothing else. He could not be shaken from the doctrine of Inspiration of the old-church. This is what Rohnert [Wilhelm Rohnert, 1837-1908] praises in him, that in the last decades he probably was the most emphatic one for the old dogmatic verbal inspiration. (Dogmatik der evangelisch-lutherischen Kirche, p. 105 [German text]) Walther held fast to the inspiration of the Scriptures, because he saw that if here one in the least way gave in, one would give up that Scripture alone is the source and norm of theology.
"Open questions" are not recognized by Walther as the Iowa Synod does. It is not required that the symbolical books treat a doctrine to make it a doctrine of the church. The confessions make no new doctrines of the church, but only represent them. Scripture is the decisive factor. Therefore, the Bible's teaching is also the doctrine of the church, although it has not yet been dealt with in the symbols. (Lehre and Wehre 14, 133 ff.) Walther, however, highly esteemed the confessions. Everywhere he draws on them in his writings and, in addition, the statements of the true Lutheran teachers. But his theology is not, in the bad sense, a theology of repristination, as the modern theologians over in the old country label it; for with him it is not the old dogmaticians or the Symbols [Confessions] that tip the scales, but Holy Scripture. [see Hochstetter's testimony]
As a Scripture theologian, he had no special doctrines which he has preferred to treat, but it has been the case that he was forced to treat a number of doctrines a great deal and worked through them vigorously:
the doctrines of the Church and Ministry over against the Buffalo Synod, the doctrines of Election and Conversion against the Ohio and Iowa Synods, the doctrine of justification and reconciliation against the Erlangen theology and sectarianism of this land."
= = = = = = End of quote from Hoenecke = = = = = = =
In Hoenecke's itemization of all the distinguishing teachings of Walther, I was reminded of Franz Pieper's series of essays "C.F.W. Walther as Theologian". I wonder that Hoenecke, to a certain extent, used Pieper's highlights from this series as he gave his own assessments. So to help readers (like myself!) review again the corresponding highlights between Hoenecke's highlights above and Pieper's essays, here is a listing with hyperlinks:
- "Scientific" Theology -- see this blog post, Part 5.
- Verbal Inspiration -- see this blog post, Part 3a.
- "Open Questions" -- See this blog post Part 3b in the "Open Questions" essay. See this blog post, Item #9 for full info on where to read Walther's essay (free and otherwise) "The False Arguments for the Modern Theory of Open Questions".
- Confessionalism -- see this blog post Part 3b in the "Open Questions" essay
- Church and Ministry -- See these blog posts: Part 6, Part 7. When I re-read Hoenecke's agreement with Walther on "Church and Ministry", I had to marvel at the attempts by later Wisconsin theologians to break this unity of doctrine. (See Pieper CD 1, pp. 174-175)
- Election of Grace -- See these blog posts, Parts 15, 16, 17, 18. Also Brief Statement, §§ 35-40
- Conversion: -- See these blog posts: Part 13a, Part 14.
- Justification -- See these blog posts, Parts 10, 11, 12.
What is immediately apparent by the above listing is the agreement Hoenecke would have with the (old) Missouri Synod's Brief Statement of 1932. But I could find only one reference to it in today's Wisconsin Synod's public "What We Believe" section – in the "Statement on the Antichrist". Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe that in past years, the WELS was much more frequent in citing the Brief Statement. [2018-01-27: In 1953, a WELS committee warned the LC-MS "... the Synodical Conference in convention assembled to request the Missouri Synod to repeal the Common Confession and to return to the clarity and decisiveness in setting forth the Scriptural and historical doctrinal position of the Synodical Conference for which the Brief Statement sets an excellent precedent." Proceedings of the Forty-Second Regular Convention of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (1953), 157 -- see this essay, p. 319, n 75]
What would Walther's counsel be for today's Wisconsin Synod? It would be the same as to his own Missouri Synod in his 1860 Letter from Zurich (CTM vol. 61; digitized text doc here, p. 654-655):
"This principle [Rom. 12:6 'analogy or measure of faith'] is [not] properly made use of when everyone wants to find everything that is in the Bible by himself and does not want to accept, as a pupil, the mined treasures of Scriptural doctrine from those granted the gift of Scriptural interpretation in high measure."
Walther would have in mind not only Martin Luther, but also the Lutheran dogmatists of Lutheran Orthodoxy, and... his fellow leader in the Synodical Conference, Adolf Hoenecke – not the later J.P. Koehler who would throw all the above out with his misuse of "exegesis".- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I conclude this series with Pieper's final assessment of his mentor Adolf Hoenecke:
"In this account of Walther,
Hönecke describes himself
as a [true] theologian at the same time,
as is apparent from the attached judgments."
— Dr. Franz Pieper


text: The Conformist is a 1970 political drama directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. The screenplay was written by Bertolucci based on the 1951 novel The Conformist by Alberto Moravia. The film features Jean-Louis Trintignant and Stefania Sandrelli, among others. The film was a co-production of Italian, French, and West German film companies. Bertolucci makes use of the 1930s art and decor associated with the Fascist era: the middle-class drawing rooms and the huge halls of the ruling elite. ... more on Wikipedia

Late last month, the illustrious Melanie from Above All Fabric invited me to review a pattern for her (cue SQUEAL).
May I present Pink Fig's Hippy Chick Skirt:
I used Moda's Origin's line (yellow, brown, grey and green...are you kidding me? How can I refuse that?) Mine is the skirt on the right of the above pattern picture...the Bohemian version.
There's a lot of decorative stitching you can't see on the picture. Note: "Decorative Stitching" is just a fancy way of saying "you'll have to rewind your bobbin A BAZILLION TIMES."
The Bohemian skirt, as opposed to the Classic skirt (both are included in the pattern), leaves some of the edges raw so they'll fray after wear, which adds a little extra pizzaz to the skirt.
The pattern was easy to follow, even for a gal like me who tends to "guesstimate" as much as possible. And the skirt is VERY WEARABLE, due to the drop-waist that keeps the bulk of the gathers and ruffles below the waist/hip line.
Visit Melanie's fabulous fabric shop Above All Fabric here, where you can find this fabric, and this pattern.

Chris Cooley on Overtime Thinks Patriots Top Seahawks
Former Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley joined Wednesday's edition of Overtime Live from Radio Row at the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.
Cooley (@thecooleyzone) played nine years in the NFL, and caught 429 passes for 4,711 yards, and 33 touchdowns. Currently, he works for ESPN 980 in Washington D.C. Hear his conversation with Thurn below:
Cooley shares the storylines from Super Bowl 49 will be on Monday:
"What do I think the storylines will be on Monday? What Marshawn Lynch said after the game? What Richard Sherman said after the game? How Tom Brady played? Will Russell Wilson be the next Tom Brady? Is he that good? I don't think the Seahawks win the football game. I said the exact same thing last year about the Broncos. They crushed them. But I still think the Patriots are the better football team than the Seattle Seahawks at this point in the season. Had they played earlier, maybe I would feel differently."

Due to its proximity to the infamous Golden Triangle area of drugs and refugees and because it is the largest northern Thai city, Chiang Mai attracts people of diverse ethnicities, situations, and needs.
Northern Thai youth encounter HIV/AIDS, prostitution, STDs, pregnancy, violence, and a wide range of other issues discussed infrequently in their modest society. Thailand is also facing a new rise of HIV and STI infections especially among young people with 70% of all STI cases in Thailand occur among this group. In the "Thailand Social Monitor on Youth 2008" report by the World Bank it has been suggested that road accidents, HIV and suicide are the three leading causes of Youth death. Also stated in the report is that Youth (15-24) account for 50% of all new cases of HIV in Thailand. Premarital sex has become more common among young Thais, but only 20-30% of sexually active young people are using condoms consistently.
Furthermore, Thai adults do not talk with youth about sex; there is no sex education in schools, only information on biology, and parents do not talk to their children about sex. In their villages, Thai youth are taught not to have sex before marriage, and girls are usually kept in their house almost all of the time in order to protect them. However this is not a reality in their daily lives; most girls in urban areas consider premarital sex as a common behavior nowadays. Also, many teenagers will leave their homes to study at colleges and universities in the larger cities. Feeling the sense of independency for the first time and getting in contact with the "urban lifestyle" many youth participate in risky behaviors, while lacking appropriate information.
Withouth a source to turn to for sexual education, young people educate themselves through the internet, movies, magazines, and other forms of media. However, there is a lack of understanding of the misrepresentation, manipulation and role of the mass media in constructing views of reality. Thai youth are not critical of the information, which is not always positive, that they receive in their daily lives. Furthermore, Thai youth do not discuss their city lives with their families in their villages and communities, and they keep one life hidden from the other. Thus, there is a lack of support and guidance for Thai young people.
Moreover, youth nowadays do not associate themselves as being vulnerable to getting infected with HIV; they consider AIDS to be a disease of adults and high-risk groups, such as sex workers and drug users it has been suggested that 85% of youth feel this way. They also believe that the condom represents an unfaithful lifestyle; it is related to promiscuity, sex work and involvement in drug use. Therefore most girls will not carry condoms as they fear being considered a "bad girl" or even a prostitute. Girls as well as boys feel embarrassed to buy condoms in retail or drug stores.
Compounding the lack of support for youth in general, is non-existent support for LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, intersex) youth. There are only two support groups in Chiang Mai City for gay men, and no support groups for lesbian women. There is also very little to no support for street youth and none for refugee youth, who cannot legally get a diploma or work in Thailand. With a lack of structure in their lives, some Thai youth have turned to gangs and violence as a source of community, expression and/or survival.
Instead of fitting prevention efforts to the present behaviors of youth, the government and the general public refuses to accept the way of life chosen by young people. Thai society is based on a hierarchy system in which youth are supposed to obey the adults. This makes it very hard for young people to stand for their own points of view; if they try to address social and political issues they will not be taken seriously. Youth who speak up are considered as trouble makers. Therefore, there is a lack of a well-developed youth culture in Thailand. Without an avenue to address their issues of concern, youth are kept on the margins of Thai society, making them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, violence, abuse, discrimination, STIs, unwanted pregnancy, and drugs.

"Live with what you love" is my personal philosophy, and my inspiration for West Main. On the surface, interior design is about making things beautiful, but more importantly it's about how your surroundings make you feel. Stepping into your home should put you at ease. It should evoke emotion and be filled with things you love. When contemplating a new purchase or just editing what you already have, make it a point to only buy and keep the things that make your heart sing. If something doesn't do that for you, let it go. When you do, you are left with what truly brings joy to your heart and mind. This is the root of all things West Main.

Years ago someone shared with me a simple truth: "We don't know what we don't know." It is common for young leaders to have no reference point for what to do next in certain situations, because they often encounter many situations that are new to them. Still, with the right kind of coaching and learning, they can overcome these challenges and end up doing well in the midst of these challenges. The key is to teach them four key skills.
First, we need to help young leaders learn how to create and clarify direction. This sounds simple and yet may be the most difficult skill to learn. A good place to start is to have a young leader read the following book: Blanchard, Kenneth, Donald Carew, and Eunice Parisi-Carew. The One Minute Manager Builds High Performing Teams, (Wm. Morrow and Company, 1990). In this very quick read, one learns that leaders use different skills to handle different situations. The authors also give a nice foundation about how to create and give direction.
Second, young leaders need to learn how to prioritize. The fastest way to do this level of learning is to review with them Stephen Covey's model for putting first things first. It begins with learning how to differentiate between what is urgent and what is important. Click on this Wikipedia link and you can learn a lot more detail about how this works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Things_First_(book) Here is a YouTube video on the subject as well: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-357998200076562861 Helping young leaders understand what are the "big rocks" as presented in the YouTube video will help them learn how to prioritize.
Third, many young leaders do not know how to coach. They also have not received much good coaching over the course of their career, too. In the beginning, we need to educate young leaders that there are two kinds of coaching, namely transactive coaching and transformational coaching. The former focus on the teaching of key skills and the later is about developing a specific mindset. Both are important. The key in the beginning is to be more mindful of when we are doing which kind of coaching.
Fourth, we need to teach them how to resolve issues. For starts, I encourage all young leaders and those who are coaching them to read the following book: Patterson, Kerry, and Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler. Crucial Conversations: Tools For Talking When Stakes Are High (McGraw-Hill, 2002). I have yet to meet people who were born to deal with conflict well within the work place or home. Yet, with some key information from the aforementioned book, they can get better at dealing with these issues. It also is important for young leaders to know that avoiding toxic people issues will cause more problems than dealing with them. They also need to know that not dealing with misaligned systems will also cause major problems.
Every day, successful, young and experienced leaders learn something new. However, after visiting with them for many decades, I can assure you that every one of them is good at the following four skill sets: giving direction, clarifying priorities, coaching people, and resolving problems. These skills are the foundation of successful leadership and management.

It was scandal week in Washington, but because of an accident of scheduling, I had the opportunity to view it through an altered lens.
The president's week was turning into a very bad one — with new revelations about Benghazi talking points, IRS political targeting, and the seizure of news organizations' phone records — as I was completing my very first visit to Israel.
On one side of the world, scandals were collapsing on one another like an origami bird — fragile and complex. On the other side, hard up beside the Sea of Galilee — the old and enduring disputes existed side by side.
It was all about juxtaposition. Taken separately, the Benghazi, IRS and phone records stories are each hugely complicated. But for them all to unfold in one week was a bit mindboggling.
The natural response for the president's political opponents was to find a common thread: It went like this: the president must have known. If he didn't, he should have. If new information suggests he neither knew nor had reason to know, it was a failure of leadership.
The truth is usually more complicated than political accusations suggest. The president clearly endorsed the Department of Justice's investigation into leaks following reporting conducted by the Associated Press on the grounds that national security was at risk. This he is not apologizing for.
When it comes to Benghazi, the White House has repeatedly dismissed out of hand the argument that officials concocted talking points to disguise its early assessments of the attack that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya. Because the debate has centered on what people said in the wake of the attack, rather than on how to prevent it from happening again, the stacks of emails released this week proved to be anticlimactic when evidence of collusion did not surface.
The most politically dangerous of the week's dustups was the revelation that the IRS appeared to target conservative groups for special scrutiny while ignoring liberal organizations. You can tell it was the most dangerous because it was the only one where someone was fired — in this case the Acting IRS Commissioner.
These disputes were so all-consuming that they all but eclipsed other big stories, with relatively little attention paid to the declining deficit, the Keystone oil pipeline or the news that military sexual assaults are skyrocketing.
Politics, you see, trumps all.
But if you want to see enduring conflict that runs far deeper than this week's Washington scandal, go to Israel. There are not just disagreements; there are walls. On the day I visited the Wailing Wall, wandering around as a tourist, dozens of black-clad Israeli police with cans of tear gas strapped across their chests had just broken up a protest among orthodox women over who should pray on the men's side of the wall. In the Middle East, the distance to conflict is measured in land, not political theory.
Survival, you see, trumps all.
It helped me to put this week's Washington uproar into a certain context. But it also reminded me of the thing our hyper-partisan nation's capital shares in common with flashpoints around the world.
With Democrats digging their heels in and Republicans throwing rocks over the wall, there is precious little incentive for compromise. I call it geopolitical poker.
I leave it to you to decide who is winning — or losing — the game.

Dear Friends of the BCC,
Last month we had a focus on praying for those in prison in Turkey. We received such a wonderful story in the last weeks, also connected to a prisoner, we thought it would be good to continue that thread with the following story:
Z and her son met us when we got off the bus. As we awkwardly sat in a cafe close to the bus terminal sipping tea, I asked her how she began to be interested in the Holy Books. Actually, it was her husband who was interested, she explained. But he was in prison so he couldn't meet us. But she assured us he would call. Sure enough, after a few minutes he called. He explained how he had contacted the BCC in his wife's name because he wasn't allowed mail in prison. He has been talking to a brother in the BCC about everyday who has taught him a lot about Jesus.
"I want you to help my family," he begged. "We don't want your money, I just want you to tell them about salvation. Please, will you tell them about Jesus Christ!" I assured him I was more than happy to do just that. After I launched into the Gospel story, starting with creation for context, he called again to check that I was really telling them the way of salvation. After explaining the Gospel and sharing that receiving salvation is like receiving a gift, we showed her "The Prophet's Story" short video. "Look," she said to her son, "This is just like what she was telling us. " I asked a few questions to see if they understood who Jesus is and how we can be saved through him, but she didn't seem to really understand. Later, her husband called again to beg us to go to his house and share the gospel also with his other children and his grandchild. His daughter remembered watching the Jesus Film years ago, but didn't understand why Jesus needed to die. We watched "The Prophets' Story" with her too, and she paused it several times to comment on the message of sacrifice and atonement. When the children arrived, Z told us to show them the video too. Afterwards, I asked the kids why Jesus died. "For our sins!" one answered. "But what does that mean," I asked. "Jesus was the sacrifice for us," Z answered (she finally got it!!!). I told them from Romans 10:9 how we can be saved and asked if they wanted to put their faith in Jesus. "But what about our prophet?" one of the little ones asked. "What did he do for you?" I asked her. "Nothing," she replied. "What did Jesus Christ do for you?" I asked. "He died for me!" She answered. "Then I will believe in Jesus!" She proclaimed. I asked all of the family if they wanted to put their faith in Jesus, believing that he is Lord and He died and was raised to life making the way for them to be reconciled to God. "Yes! Yes! We believe!" They answered. "Now what do we do?" they asked.
Now you live your life full of thanksgiving for what he has done. Pray to Him. Ask him for anything. Read the NT to get to know him better, I shared. The children wanted to pray for their fathers eyes to be healed so we stopped and prayed right then. Soon the phone rang again, and their father's friend in jail wanted to talk to me. "How many NT's did you bring?" He asked. "Two," I answered. "Could you please leave one for me. I want to pick it up as soon as I am released," he said. Their father thanked us profusely for coming. God is really doing something new in this small town in the province of Afyon that has no workers or fellowship. Pray for this family to grow and be strengthened in their faith and to be reunited with their father as a whole family physically and spiritually.

The aim of the Newcastle Master of Public Health is to provide graduates with the skills required to improve population health through appropriate planning for the health needs of populations or specific at-risk groups; the assessment of social, behavioural and environmental determinants of health and illness; the development and implementaion of effective and efficient approaches to health services and programs; and the appropriate evaluation and improvement of population health services and programs using appropriate research methods.
The Master of Public Health will provide you with a comprehensive education at a superior level. Designed for individuals who have already successfully completed a bachelor degree in an approved public health related discipline, you will be required to complete eight courses, four of which are compulsory:
Student are introduced to basic statistical concepts in data presentation, probability distributions, confidence intervals hypothesis testing, sample size and power. You will learn to understand statistical reasoning and its application to epidemiological studies as well as read and critically evaluate the statistical section of journal articles.
Basic concepts are learned, including the distribution and determinants of disease in specific populations and the application of this knowledge to the evaluation and control of health problems in the community.
Public health
Students learn the biological, social and environmental causes and patterns in disease in populations, as well as gain an understanding of economic and political processes in determining evidence-based interventions to address those diseases of significance within populations.
Social and ecosystem health

Packaging: Nykaa So Matte Nude Lipsticks comes in a pretty pink cardboard box with all the details. The lipstick bullet is housed in a classy satin Matte black square case with magnetic closure which make it feels totally luxe. The packaging is on chubbier side but there is a shade indicator at the bottom which makes it easy to identify the shade. Least to say that I absolutely love the packaging!
My experience with Nykaa So Matte Nude Lipsticks:
Nude is the color of the season for me. I am obsessed nude lip colors this year and when I saw NYKAA coming up with this all Nude collection, it was hard to resist. So, I got hold on 3 shades from this Nude lipsticks collection and this is the first time I was trying NYKAA Lipsticks so wasn't sure what to expect. But here is what I felt about these beauties.
Nykaa So Matte! Nude Collection has eight utterly delicious shades that delight every nude lover!
Shade: This Nude Necessities collection is full of gorgeous nudes and I had a hard time picking just a few because everything looks so pretty. But finally I managed to zero down to just 3 shades:
- Praline Cookie 24M – A peachy golden nude with warm brown undertones. It contains fine gold shimmers which add a glistening shine to the lips without looking frosty. Love this shade.. never liked a lipcolor so much especially with shimmers.!
- Haute Fudge 25M – A medium chocolaty brown shade in crème finish. I have never worn such shades but excited to try it!
- Coffee Mousse 27M – It is a medium peachy brown with warm orange undertones. It looks like a darker version of Praline cookie minus shimmers. Another favorite from the collection. It will suit so many skintones. On lighter skin it might pull more like a ginger orange shade..
Texture: Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks have a buttery creamy texture which glides on beautifully on lips giving a smooth and even application. They remind me of Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks, may be a little more creamier than those.
Formula: These Nykaa Matte Lipsticks have a light weight creamy formula. They smooth out the lips and makes them look smoother and better. They feel moisturizing to the lips which makes them perfect for dry lips. It doesn't stick to dry patches or look flaky at all and give a very flattering finish to the lips.
Pigmentation: These Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks are intensely pigmented and gives a rich color in a single swipe. They provide complete coverage to the lips. The finish is however nowhere near matte. They give a beautiful satin creamy finish which feels comfortable on lips.
Longevity: These so called Matte lipsticks have quite a long lasting formula which totally surprised me. The lipsticks last for 5-6 hours on me and after that it leaves a light stain on my lips. The lipstick never sets to a transfer-proof finish and will transfer to anything which gets close to lips. So, its best to pat them with translucent powder for a matte finish and longer wear. I love that they don't settle in fine lines and looks smooth even after hours of wear. Love their comfortable creamy formula.
Recommendation: Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks in Nude Necessities has totally bowled me over with their stunning nudes and creamy texture. I wonder why they are marketed as Matte because they are pretty much creamy lipsticks only. But nevertheless, I am in love with their luxurious packaging and the soft crème finish. Never came across a full on Nude collection that works for Indian skin tones. And all of this at super affordable price tag. Definitely there is a nude for everyone here. HighlyRecommended!

Arthur Conover is no stranger to pressure or nerves.
The Messalonskee senior swimmer felt them — and subsequently overcame them — in each of the last two years to win the 500-yard freestyle at the Class A championships.
He hopes to make it three for his last three today at Bowdoin College, site of the Class A meet.
"It's nerve-racking," said Conover, who is seeded first in the 500 free. "There is a lot of pressure, but I know I just have to go out and swim my own race. I can't think about what other people are going to do. But it would be nice to get the 500 in my senior year."
Bowdoin College will host the Class A championship meets, beginning with the boys at 10:30 a.m. today followed by the girls meet at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. The finals on both days will begin at 7 p.m.
The University of Maine at Orono will host the Class B meets, with the boys going today and the girls Tuesday. The trials begin at 10:30 a.m. while the finals are scheduled for 5 p.m.
Conover, the two-time defending 500 free champ, is also seeded third in the 200 free. He comes in with a personal best time of 4 minutes, 45.11 seconds in the 500 free.
"I'm really excited," he said. "I'd like to move up in the 200, but we'll see. In the 500, it sort of feels like I'm leading the way but there are a lot of people pushing to keep up. It won't be easy."
Messalonskee sophomore Kristy Prelgovisk also in position for a big meet. She is seeded first in the 100 breaststroke and fourth in the 100 butterfly.
"The breaststroke is going to be a good race," she said. "I've swam against a lot of those girls before at (YMCA) meets. It would be awesome to win it."
Prelgovisk features a seed time of 1:06.94 in the breaststroke. Her closest pursuer, Olivia Paione of Edward Little, checks in at 1:08.33.
"I'll be ready," Prelgovisk said. "I won't get nervous before the event until I get up on the blocks. But once I hit the water, I feel fine. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Messalonskee teammate Ally Fischang is seeded fourth in the 500 free and sixth in the 200 free.
She'll be pushed in both events by Cony junior Kaylee McNeff, who is seeded fifth in the 500 free and eighth in the 200 free.
Cony senior Adam McNeff is seeded eighth in the 100 butterfly and ninth in the 200 individual medley. Cony freshman Noah Aube is sixth in the 500 free as well.
Brunswick, Cape Elizabeth and Bangor should be in the hunt for team titles.
In Class B, Waterville senior Sam Zarfos is seeded second in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke.
"He's our strongest hope," Waterville coach Bob Johnston said. "Sam is our big gun."
Winslow senior Gabe Smith is seeded eighth in the 100 breaststroke.
On the girls side, Winslow foreign exchange student Vika Arkhipova is in line for a big meet. She is seeded second in the 200 free and 100 backstroke. Teammate Sierra Hopkins is fourth in the 100 breaststroke. Waterville senior Sarah Ringer is fifth in that event. Mount Desert Island and Greely will contend for team titles.

As many know, it is very common in Dutch to ride a bicycle. In fact, the country has more bicycles than people. In my morning commute, I probably see at least 20-30 cyclists and probably 1-2 pedestrians at most. (People drive, too, but not as much as in Calgary. I don't even think there's a "rush hour" for cars.)
Because of this, people are also very adept with bicycles. It's pretty common to see a mother or father, cycling with their children in tow (either in the front or on the back). Many bicycles have bags on the back, or baskets on the front, for carrying all kinds of things. I usually will see at least one dude riding hands-free, or someone texting on their phone as they ride to school. Women manage to cycle with three-inch heels, and everyone rides their bike higher than I did back at home, which makes stopping quite the balancing act (which everyone can obviously do with ease.)
I was inspired to write this post because my supervisor let me borrow his wife's old bike when I first came. Unfortunately, it was much too tall for me to handle (given my non-Dutch heritage and my lack of balance), and I opted to get my own as soon as I could. I told him that he could pick it up whenever he wanted to, so he came by last night (just when I got back from playing ultimate, which was really good timing).
He came by bicycle, and it was just him. I got the bike, and the lock (which he ended up letting me keep for now, even though I'm so inept that I can't even use a bicycle lock, but that is a completely different story...) and then gave it to him. Then, seeing as he had his own bike, plus this other bike, both of which were the same rather large size, I asked "do you need any help?"
His reply? "I'm Dutch, I can ride with two bicycles."
So I just watched as he hopped on his own bike, released the kick stand of the other bike and took it by its handles, then cycled off as if riding tandem with some invisible person, into the sunset.
Well actually it was away from the sunset, but you get my point. These people are crazy.
I hope I can be that talented one day too.
Edit: For clarity, I meant side-by-side kind of tandem. (I realized that tandem bicycles are front-back).
Bonus: The Dutch and the Bicycle

Surratt, Grover Timothy (1976) A generalized valence bond description of vacancy and impurity states in diamond and silicon. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechTHESIS:11052009-153524672
Generalized Valence Bond and Configuration Interaction calculations using a double zeta basis have been performed for the vacancy states of diamond and silicon and for the lithium and boron impurities in silicon. For the vacancy case it was found that the nature of the low-lying electronic states of the positive, negative and neutral charge species is easily understood in terms of simple valence bond concepts. Here the effect of symmetric distortion of the vacancy was included, but no other distortions were included. For those cases in which the ordering of the states is known, the experimental ordering is reproduced by the theoretical results. For the impurity case it is found that boron is strongly bound in a substitutional site whereas lithium is not. In both cases the states of the system can be predicted from a simple valence bond analysis. The calculated results are compared with experiment through the use of a dielectric continuum approximation to correct the energies of charged and ionic states.

It was the last episode of The Paradise (BBC One), where the set is anything but cheap – its Victorian department store cost £8 million to recreate. This period soap is pitched in similar territory to writer Bill Gallagher's previous creation, Lark Rise to Candleford: cosy, old-fashioned and comforting, like a candlewick bedspread. Such mid-market tweeness might not appeal to snooty critics, as both series' tepid notices prove, but viewers don't seem to mind. The Paradise pulls in ratings of around 6 million and has already been recommissioned for a second run.
The plot revolved around a wedding, as finales frequently do. Would moody, moustache-twirling store-owner Moray marry mean-but-minted Lady Katherine or realise he really loved comely Denise from ladieswear, despite her accent veering all around the British Isles? Everyone else spoke in soft Durham tones, as if they were all being played by Matt Baker in different wigs.
The script had all the subtlety of an antique sledgehammer, with characters constantly explaining themselves in the "I love you, humble but beautiful shopgirl, but must marry the less pretty one for her father's money" style of exposition. "I killed him without your knowledge, sir, and will now nobly flee to protect our beloved Paradise from possible scandal and bring this annoying sub-plot to a close."
The ending seemed rushed, the climax coming before bride or groom got anywhere near the church. A dead body was dredged up from the river too. Police are working on the theory that it's a viewer who died of boredom.
The Paradise blew its budget on fancy packaging and forgot about the product. I was left feeling short-changed.

I love the fact that whole wheat slider buns are cropping up in the bread aisle. (If you can't find them, use whole wheat dinner rolls.)
Even my beef-burger-only nazi of a husband and anti-ground-meat daughter approved. There were no leftovers...
1 pkg of (6) chicken sliders or 1 pound ground chicken meat
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 t. Italian seasoning
lots of black pepper
2 t. garlic powder
2 t. extra virgin olive oil (evoo)
1 onion, thinly sliced
pinch of sugar
small log goat cheese, sliced
handful of fresh arugula or spinach
1 gala or Fuji apple, sliced horizontally and cored
1 pkg. small wheat slider buns
If patties are not purchased already formed, shape into small rounds. Place in shallow dish or marinade container. Splash Worcestershire sauce over patties. Sprinkle with seasonings. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, place small amount evoo in a saute pan and heat to medium. Place onion in hot pan and cook until soft. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle with pinch of sugar and simmer slowly, allowing onions to caramelize. While onions cook, slice goat cheese and apples.

No data loss when containers or machines stop or fail
10 minute install, easy to operate and minimal maintenance means more time in your day
Container IO
Making persistent storage easy for cloud native applications
Reduce CAPEX and OPEX
With better availability, performance and scalability
Data Persistence
High Availability
Redundancy, orchestration and failover to keep applications running
Guaranteed quality-of-service keep applications responsive
Provision storage through schedulers based on what applications require
Run everywhere with the same user experience and APIs
Data Protection
Data services to always secure and protect your data
Data Persistence
Make data persistent
Stateful applications consists of a running container and it's data volume. With native Docker, when a container is removed, the data volume is deleted. And when a container is moved, it's data volume does not move with it.
With Container IO (CIO), containers always have access to their data. Through our deep integration with schedulers, Storidge volumes are automatically moved to the nodes where the containers are running.
With Docker, data volumes don't move
With Storidge, data volumes become persistent
High Availability
Keep apps running
When a server fails, your applications can fail and access to data lost. Replication at the application level is costly in time and performance.
Storidge aggregates resources across servers to create a data management layer. On a node failure, volumes are automatically detached and reattached to operational nodes keeping your data accessible.
While applications continue running, the Storidge engine initiates a rebuild of impacted volumes and data redundancy is restored in the background.
Volumes move to operational nodes keeping data available
Keep apps responsive
Production environments consist of containers with different workloads running on the same server. The result is competition for performance and unpredictable application response times.
Storidge's QoS capability delivers performance isolation and enables performance guarantees for each container so your apps are predictably responsive.
Set performance and capacity independent of each other
Ensure app and storage performance
Automate provisioning
Management of traditional storage is manual, knowledge intensive and time consuming.
Storidge's ContainerIO software embeds storage expertise and tight integration with schedulers. A profile specifies requirements, works with schedulers to automate provisioning and manage volumes for container workloads.
Invisible heading
One approach everywhere
Apps no longer just run on dedicated infrastructure. ITOps teams must cope with a mix of applications on a variety of platforms and environments.
Storidge keeps the same user experience and APIs on all platforms (private, public, bare metal, virtual) so you can consistently deploy and manage anywhere that best fit your workloads. This unified approach applies the same knowledge and processes across all platforms and reduces opportunities for platform lock-in.
All you need in one place
Same user experience and API on any platform or cloud
Easily access and manage any resource in the cluster
Easily deploy services and stacks from app templates, Github repos or local files
Create and manage images, networks, volumes, profiles, secrets and configs
Secure access with your company LDAP/AD. Define teams and allow management to certain teams
View container logs, performance and resource usage. Monitor cluster capacity, IOPS and bandwidth usage.
Add endpoints to manage more than one Docker environment

Prime Produce and Prime Lenses: A Photographic trip to the Heredia Farmers Market
This article of mine originally appeared in The Costa Rica Star, please stop by and have a look around. Thanks, Solson
Feb 2013 EDIT! I've Created a video with the pictures from the gallery but also including sounds from the Farmers' Market that I think helps put the photos and the article in context. Thanks!
Inspired by the The Costa Rica Star's recent articles, and frustrated by the poor quality of the bell peppers at my local supermarket (you know the one that starts with "W" and ends in "almart") my girlfriend and I decided to visit the Farmers' Market in Heredia. I had heard that I should arrive early for the best products, so when we arrived at a leisurely 9:30 am we expected things to have cleared out. Nope. It was packed. About 600 meters worth of packed. Noises smells and bumping elbows everywhere. Good thing I packed my cameras.
Peppers were tops on the list, but of course all the bounty on hand meant we quickly got distracted with the samples of homemade jam, ripe fruit, fresh meat and even a "soda" to grab a late breakfast. The lottery sellers competed with the venders and the cat calls to see who would be heard. I tried my best to keep a low enough profile to get some candid photographs. It didn't go very well. I blew a number of shots as people looked at me in confusion. I probably gave my girlfriend a similar look when she came back with a pack of garlic: "Honey did you really just buy garlic grown in China at the local farmers' market?"
As we continued to wander around I got bolder and pulled out my film camera. I also paired it with my one of my favorite lenses. The lens that really helped me grow as a photographer. An 85mm f1.8. For those not versed in photo-speak that is a fixed length lens with a large maximum aperture, which allows it to be used in low-light, as well as to allowing for reduced depth of field. This type of lens is known as a "prime" lens and if you use an SLR camera you should have one. These lenses can be a bit frustrating in the beginning since you are "stuck" with one field of view. Your feet become your zoom. You get over this problem quickly because these lenses let you compose in a whole new way. Not only can you compose withing the four walls of the frame, now you can choose your depth too, like thinking in 3-D.
Being able to selectively blur things helps you emphasize what is important in your shot, it can also be useful to blur out distracting backgrounds or sometimes even distracting foregrounds. And when it the light gets low prime lenses can let you keep shooting before you have to go to a flash. Sometimes—and especially with candid photography, you don't have time to move your feet to recompose, so you have to use that selective focus to your advantage. It takes some time and practice and a lot of missed shots to get the hang of it. The first few times I used that lens I got tons of shots that weren't focused in the right place. Once I got a feel for it though, well… I always have a prime lens with me. These days it's a 50mm f1.4, which is the lens that cameras all used to come with. Newer zoom lenses are more practical, but a prime lens WILL improve your photography in a hurry.
A prime lens will improve your photography, while a trip to the farmers' market will improve your supper and your appreciation for proper produce. If you don't live here, it's still worth a trip since you get a dose of how locals live, shop and interact. You are also likely to encounter a number of fruits and veggies that you won't find at the supermarket. Also do buy the glorious bell peppers, don't buy the Chinese garlic. Do get yourself a prime lens, don't hesitate.

Family Reunion Forum
Re: FAMILY CHARTS
In Response To: Re: FAMILY CHARTS ()
Well I'm a novice at this and the software was purchased by my daughter for this purpose. According the the booklet info, it says Parsons Technology, Family Origins 6.0 for Windows. I can't elaborate in internet talk, but it was purchased as a sale item at one of the Office depots. We also have the family tree software but according to my computer expert this was the best one for my needs. I have been playing around with it a lot by scanning older pictures and placing them next to the names, sending off request for that family unit only, to update information. For the members who I know 'Like to look their best at all times' I place a not so cute picture on their chart. You better believe they start looking for just the right picture to use cause you can't erase them out of a reunion booklet. I try any trick I can short of hurting feelings to make this interesting. I put up to date pictures on the complete chart that I use for my research ONLY. No complete charts will be given out until I have as much information completed by my deadline date, as possible. Then and only then will pictures given to me by family members be permanently placed in a reunion book. Of course I don't tell them that part. Sending a "I NEED YOUR HELP" LETTER WITH EACH CHART to a younger generation seems to be helping.

In my last post I critiqued Farron Cousins proclaiming that people shouldn't be talking about Hillary Clinton any more.
So here he is criticizing Hillary last year at which point he and I would have been in agreement.
But during that time more details about Hillary's questionable activities have been revealed.
Yes he is correct we are all sick of hearing about Hillary because in large part nothing has happened .
But the law suit against the DNC is still on going and the political system is still corrupt in general.
The DNC establishment are still in denial a year later about why they lost the election. They still want to blame the Russians, Trump, Bernie Bros, Bernie, Jill Stein, sexism etc. They refuse to accept that it was in fact not necessarily Hillary's turn.
And Hillary and the DNC need to be made to face some form of justice for rigging the primary and for trashing Bernie Sanders . At the least they owe Bernie Sanders and his some 15 million supporters a real apology. So is that asking too much.Instead they still act as if they were justified in all they did which is why many people are still obsessed with Hillary and the DNC..
"Published on 20 Sep 2016
The latest polls show Hillary Clinton's support among Millennials falling even further, and her outreach to the 18 – 34 age group has been pathetic, to say the least. The problem is that she absolutely doesn't understand how badly the policies of the last 16 years have hurt this age group."

Stuart Weitzman is known for his bold materials including vinyl, wallpaper and 24-karat gold, and his incredible shoes have been on catwalks and red carpets around the world. But what can you wear with footwear that is this fabulous? Here are five ideas for what to wear with your Stuart Weitzman.
1. The Slouch look
Slouchy fashion sounds like too drastic a contrast alongside Stuart Weitzman footwear? Think again. The right slouchy fashion, as showcased on the runways this season, is actually very tailored and the materials are incredibly rich – making it a perfect match. For example, with your soft suede Stuart Weitzman platform boots choose a stylish, flowing cape and high-wasted, cuffed trousers in warm, natural shades.
2. The Pajama style
Menswear style pajama pieces are totally trendy this season. Think shapely trousers and shirts in sexy materials, and you will find a look that is radiant with feminine sophistication. If you have a pair of Stuart Weitzman leather pumps, pair these with a pair of skinny ruche black leather pants and a tailored pajama blouse – it will make all other women envious.
3. Le Praire
Prairie pieces are not only about simple silhouettes and flowing, charming shapes. In fact, this trend of homespun glamour comes into a whole different light when paired with some glitter or sparkle. Try taking your Stuart Weitzman evening sandal pumps in superb gold leather and add a prairie skirt or a vintage camisole – you will love the results.
4. Yes, the denim choice
Favorite denims work with everything, especially Stuart Weitzman footwear. Go casual or dress it up; the bold statement of the shoes will let you do anything you want and get away with it. For example, pair your sexy sequin open-toe Stuart Weitzman pumps with a pair of skinny jeans and a silk tank top and you will instantly take center stage wherever you may be.
5. Dressing for the social gathering
The ultimate party dress is the last but certainly not the least important item on our list. This season, nothing is more popular than bold satin frocks in vivid colors, lovingly matched with broad shoulder silk jackets and blouses – absolutely perfect for your Stuart Weitzman satin platform heels.
As you look at the available Stuart Weitzman styles you will discover everything from knee-high boots to sandals in a variety of gloriously glamorous shapes and colors. They are every woman's dream shoes; all you need to do is pair them with the right clothing and accessories and in order to achieve your dream outfit.

I know from personal experience that Terre Haute, Indiana, is not the most happening place. But is "Church sign raises objection" really one of the most newsworthy items of the day?
Bear with me, and read the beginning of the story.
A sign at a Terre Haute church bearing a message that many people would deem "intolerant" has raised an objection from a concerned teenager who could not let the message go unchallenged.
Saagarika Coleman submitted a letter to the editor of the Tribune-Star (see page A8) stating that she was "hit with a wave of shock. I was horrified" when she saw the sign at Bible Baptist Church as her father drove her to school Monday morning.
The sign stated, "Jesus died and rose and lives for you. What did Allah do."
To Coleman and others, the message seems to challenge or belittle the Muslim faith. At best, such sentiments strike some people as an un-Christian approach to tolerance of other beliefs.
Stop the presses. A 13-year-old is upset? I don't want to diminish a 13-year-old's opinion, but just because one person objects, that makes it news? Later in the story, the pastor of the church said he had received three comments about the sign. That's it?
The Associated Press also picked up the story and wrote, "A Terre Haute church upset some residents with a message on its outdoor sign that mentioned Allah." Some residents?
Anyway, Lisa Trigg writes that "many would deem [the message] 'intolerant,'" but no one in her story does anyone call it intolerant. She also writes that the message "seems to challenge or belittle the Muslim faith," but no one uses those words. Then she says at best such sentiments strike some people as an "un-Christian approach." Some people? Who?
It's unfortunate that Trigg didn't interview Coleman, who wrote an articulately worded letter, and could have provided a colorful argument for the story being newsworthy in the first place.
Trigg spoke with the pastor, who defended the sign, saying "It just means the founder of Christianity still lives." Perhaps she could have asked him about why his church believes exclusively in Jesus, though this is not a shocker to a lot of Christians. She then quotes someone from the Islamic Center of Terre Haute:
"Allah means God. God is the Creator. Allah," he said, agreeing that Jesus is the Son of God, as Christians believe. Muslims also believe in Jesus, he pointed out. "We have to believe in Jesus. If we don't, we're not Muslim,"
This leaves the false impression that Islam and Christianity are essentially the same. Instead of explaining how they are different, she writes:
Terre Haute is a diverse community, with many people of the faiths of Judaism, Islam and Hinduism residing, working, raising families and being active in the community. However, the dominance of Christian churches and worship centers may give the impression that Christianity is the only organized religion in the area.
For Hindus, the nearest temple for worship is in Indianapolis, but weekly visits to a temple are not required for worship, unlike Christianity, which urges regular attendance at worship services.
Terre Haute is diverse? It would have been helpful for Trigg to provide some numerical data to prove her point.
I have no data to prove that this might be happening, but perhaps she could use the anecdote to pursue a story on how fewer churches seem to be using church signs. I'm just guessing that there are debates over whether you can effectively communicate a Christian message in a headline burst. Besides, who wants to end up on a blog like this?

Izabella Barati Stec, Affiliated Professor at SPP gave a talk at UNEP HQ
May 9, 2018
"Izabella Barati Stec, Affiliated Professor at SPP gave a talk about "The role of gender balanced budgets in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals" at the UNEP HQ in Nairobi. Gender inequality has human development costs and impacts the environment and gender budgeting is a way for governments, but also for institutions such as UN Environment, to promote equality through the budget process. The presentation explored how fiscal policies aiming to close the gender gap spread economic and social benefit, reduce economic volatility and boost economic development. Gender mainstreaming can also improve the accountability and transparency of budgets."

The game finally drops this month, August 27th in the states and August 30th in Europe and Australia. For details on pre-ordering and incentives to do so, have a look here.
In anticipation of the release, I popped into the voice over studio at CapCom UK in London…
..where I had this curious interaction:
Also got to chat with the folks at Penny Arcade Report, who delivered this excellent piece on the game and the character of Peyton. We even got a photo shoot in on the last day of ComiCon:
One of my favorite articles on the game so far, can't begin to thank them.
Ran into my good friend Scott Narver (Bro Squad 5, Curtain Jerks) while at the Con, and we got to horse around for his great YouTube channel No Extra Life.
Yes, he's dressed as Damien Sandow.
The results are below:
More to come!

A Word About Prophecy (12:1)
Reading through the Old Testament, and coming upon the verses recognized as references to the future Christ, can be at times quite puzzling. These verses contain some of the most beautiful, poetic, and meaningful descriptions of Christ and His life found in the Bible. But a single reading through these verses should convince anyone of the virtual impossibility of understanding from them the manner of Christ's First Coming. Although, in retrospect, the accuracy and depth of understanding of the Old Testament references to Christ are truly astonishing, nevertheless, at that time, these verses simply did not present in any way a clear image of how Christ would come. This, I feel, is not a small thing (12:2)
Consider: even after 2000 years of research by Christian scholars and theologians - those who have recognized Christ and are therefore in a position to understand properly the meaning of the prophecies referring to Him - these verses, which we recognize as referring to Christ, still do not present a picture which someone could have followed in order to find Him. Not only do these references present rather universal descriptions of Christ with very little detail, but the references appear both confusing and contradictory in their meaning (12:3)
The prophetic verses appear confusing for a variety of reasons. First of all, many of the verses simply do not "look" like prophecies, but simply seem to be stating something, and how would one distinguish one of these statements from the thousands and thousands of other statements found in scripture? Many references speak in the past tense as if referring to events that have already happened with no clue that they were referring to the future. Many of the verses which are clearly references to the future, use such mysterious symbolism that there would be no way to figure out what in the world they mean. And some seem to refer to the writer rather than to someone else (12:4)
The prophetic references, moreover, appear to be as contradictory as they are confusing. Thus, Christ is portrayed as both the "desire of all nations" (Hag 2:7), whom the people shall praise "for ever and ever" (psa 45:6), and before whom "all kings shall fall down" (psa 72:11), while at the same time He is "a reproach of men", and "despised of the people" (psa 22:6). He is both "leader and commander" (Isa 55:4), "ruler in Israel" (Mic 5:2), and "The mighty God" (Isa 9:6), while being "smitten", "afflicted" (Isa 53:4), and "spat upon" (Isa 50:6). He is "fairer than the children of men" (psa 45:2), yet possesses neither "beauty" nor "comeliness" (Isa 53:2); He is the "Holy One of Israel" (Isa 41:14), and a "worm" (psa 22:6). (12:5) see
It is certain that many of the above references, especially the ones referring to Christ's lowliness and suffering, would not have been considered references to the Messiah at all until after Christ's Coming. Of course, now the references to Christ can be reconciled and understood in the light of the New Testament. The fact that He is the "desire of all nations" does not, in our minds, preclude the fact that he was also "despised of the people". But, before the coming of Christ, this could simply not be imagined. For those living before Christ, there would be no way of understanding how the different references to the Messiah that we now recognize - references to both His transcendent glory and dominion, and also to His humiliation and suffering - could be reconciled. Therefore only references to the Christ that seemed to harmonize with others would be kept in the body of prophecy. And with clear references to the greatness of their coming Messiah and Savior, and no clear references otherwise, any verse which seemed to run counter to that image, would no doubt have been understood as referring to someone else. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that all accounts in the New Testament seem to indicate that in the thinking of the time, the Messiah was to triumph, both spiritually and physically. A suffering Messiah, despite the fact that there were many references that He would suffer, was not imagined. God had warned of His suffering, but no one understood

Tips on Getting a Job in Accounting
If you're fresh from an accounting certificate or degree or you're pursuing one now, chances are that you're a little concerned about your job prospects. While accounting is a career that is often in demand, actually breaking into a firm or company to start working can be awfully daunting as many positions require experience. But it's far from impossible; in fact, many of the big names in accounting hire entry level accountants regularly in order to keep up with heavy workloads, make deadlines and to replace retiring workers. With baby boomers retiring in all fields, there is no reason to think that you won't find a place somewhere! Still worried? Then read our tips to help you find and secure a job in your chosen field.
1. No Experience, no Problem. Although many firms state that they want to hire people with experience, most of them also look for new graduates. If you have no experience, highlight first your education on your resume and then highlight other experiences you have. Customer service experience is huge because it shows good people skills which are important for accountants deal with clients. Highlight jobs that show off your ability to communicate as well. And don't underestimate the power of your volunteer experience and showing off you balanced work and schooling successfully as all of these things have some useful transferable skills.
2. Network, network! Most universities and colleges have job fairs and other events that let employers meet potential employees and students and accounting is no different. Whenever possible, it's a good idea to attend these job fairs, talk to representatives from different accounting firms where you live, learn more about the companies and really put yourself into the minds of the representatives so that when it comes time to apply for a job you've already shown yourself in a positive light. These events are also good because they let you narrow down where you'd like to work and what you will be expected to have on your resume to get in as most firms have slightly different needs.
3. Keep Learning. If you have your accounting degree, there is so much more you could do. Try for your Masters, take and pass the CPA exam, look at other things you can learn that branches off your accounting. There are online courses for just about everything now so you can have flexible learning and it will add to your skill set. It's also a good thing to add to your resume as it shows you are committed to personal growth and trying new things.
4. Keep Trying. Just like any other job, you have to be politely persistent. If you have a resume going out, keep tabs on it by asking-politely-after a week or so if anyone has seen it or what its status is. After an interview, send a thank-you note and follow up on it later. If you just expect to get a job by throwing a resume at it and doing nothing else, you're in for a shock. This is the case with most jobs nowadays, but given how competitive accounting can be, it's even more important.
5. Hire Yourself! Freelance accountants are on the rise along with a rise of freelancers in many other fields. There are no shortages of small business ventures which need a good on-off accountant to help out, plus the world of the internet means you can go global. Just make sure that you have something unique to offer clients, you have a good education and certification and prepare to do some scraping and competitive bidding until you get yourself established.
Accounting is a great field to get into because once you start working and have more experience you have something that will never really go out of style. People will always need someone to manage their books! It may not necessarily be easy to break into the field, but with some work and a bit of luck you can manage it. Good luck!

I have begun a one-person campaign to bring back the art of letter writing. I have found that the more I immerse myself in social media, the less I actually feel connected to people, so I'm trying something new. This week I have written letters to my grandma, my sister-in-law, and one of the ladies with whom I went to Israel. I'm going to try to come up with more people and addresses in the coming weeks, and I'm hoping eventually people will start writing back. My goal is to write a letter to someone new every week (or maybe a rotation of people when I start to run out of recipients) plus respond to any letters I receive.
It makes me feel so important to receive a hand-written letter. It takes that added bit of effort to write something by hand, as opposed to tapping out an email. And even putting it in an envelope and finding a stamp adds a layer of intentionality. Few people write a real letter on a whim…so when I go to my mailbox and discover a letter, I feel happy because someone felt that I am important enough to warrant their attention long enough to draft and send a note. I'm hoping that when my friends and family get my letters, they'll realize that I think they're important, too.
Plus, maybe I'll feel more connected to people.

Our mothers are warm, like the warmth of the Bahamian water. And just like our vibrant seas, our mothers sustain us.
Of course, not just mothers: Grand Mothers, Aunts, and all the strong women in our life. In fact, as you are reading this you're filling in the blanks with names of the women close to you. You know these people. You know how important they are.
But Bahamian society has the tendency to be a bit chauvinistic. Women do not have equal rights in this country. Before I go on, just let that fact settle. Women, our mothers, are considered less. In regards to passing on citizenship to their children, Bahamian mothers must rely on the father's nationality. Women have no power to do this on their own.
This is backwards, immoral and a terrible embarrassment for our society.
If you are a Bahamian man and do not believe this should change, please don't hide behind your fear of gay people, your fear of "marriages of convenience," or your fear of any other red herring that comes up every time the country tries to have a national dialogue. Own up to your real fear: women making decisions. Look your mother in the eye and tell her how it really is: you think she is less than you.
And that's not a very nice thing to say so close to Mother's Day.
This must change if we are to grow as a nation. And I believe we will change.
It's not all bad news for women in our country. According to the international Labour Organization, women make up 44.4 percent of people in managerial positions. This puts The Bahamas 9th out of the 108 surveyed countries.
THIS is a number we can be proud of.
So with the increasing role women play in Bahamian business, leadership and politics it seems so counterintuitive that we tolerate laws that openly discriminate against our mothers. I ask you to change the attitudes in our island and our country. When the opportunity arises to change, take it.

|Jonathan Dower
|Company Name(s):
|Track / Format:
The mobile free-to-play market is extremely competitive. Making games that last for years in this climate is by no means an easy task, even for the most experienced. However, by making some tough decisions, the learnings from a failed game can be the most import of all.
Quality, learning and long term are key values at Supercell. They are real values that are common amongst each team. In order to truly hold these values high, hard decisions, like knowing when to kill a project, are needed to focus on quality and the long term. In addition, the learnings of such an experience can be integral in the making of a future success.
In this session, Jonathan will discuss the inner workings of Supercell, how the games are made and the importance of the small, truly independent teams making huge decisions.
