Parties provoke police action
As high school parties change, students face new consequences
February 28, 2018
On December 31, 2017, at 9:44 p.m., Southborough Officers responded to a report of a possible underage drinking party, according to a Southborough Police Department Press Release. After detecting a large amount of illicit substances, 36 minors were detained, and the adult resident of the home currently faces court charges for "Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor" and "Minor in Possession of Alcohol".
While police force and underage parties have always clashed, whether it be in movies such as "Project X" or in the past decades, factors such as vaping, narcotics and social media may be significant in what appears to be a spike in the correlation between parties and disciplinary action. The question remains: have parties changed in recent years?
Many students and faculty feel that there has been an increased police presence recently interacting with underage parties.
"I think that police action today is very inconsistent," Emerson*, an Algonquin junior, said. "Lately, they have been a lot more strict than in the past."
"[The police] have to change with the times, just like we all do," health teacher Melissa Arvanigian said. "I think the police are really just being more aware of the towns and what's happening in and around the towns."
However, while the police may be more aware of activities due to components like social media, their message has always remained the same, according to Algonquin's resource officer, Detective Michael Bisset.
"There are different factors that go into how the police arrive at that scene, but in terms of the actions once they're there, it has remained pretty consistent throughout my five years," Bisset said. "If there is a crime that is found and has probable cause to persist that it happened, then a person will probably be charged with that crime. That being said, the police's number one goal in going to these parties is the safety of every person that is there."
Protecting and preserving life is the Southborough Police Department's mission, and their actions must reflect that overarching goal and adapt to fit specific circumstances, according to the Southborough Police Department's website. According to Athletic Director Fran Whitten, effectively dealing with parties means keeping up with the trends in types of substances and forms of ingesting them.
"I think times change and the culture changes, but I would probably say that yes, certainly there are more parties and there is more going on at those parties now than back in the day," Whitten said. "The types of drugs that are available, the paraphernalia that's available—those things weren't even existent back in the day."
The police force also has to meet current legal standards, some of which include enforcing laws against use or possession of alcohol, marijuana, and other narcotics. Police are legally obligated to take action if suspected illicit activities are occurring.
"Back in the day, police would break up a party, they might call the parents, they might have them pick up the kids, whereas now, for legal reasons and liability reasons, the police have to adhere to the law," Whitten said.
Violations that can warrant police action, according to a report published on usa.gov, include but are not limited to: excessive noise, physical assault, damaging property and trespassing.
According to Emerson, both the prevalence and danger of parties has heightened, which may be partially a result of expectations placed on students everyday in a school and home setting.
"I would say that parties are slightly more out of control than the past," Emerson said. "I think that is caused by the amount of stress placed on students in their daily life. They're just looking for a place to let loose. This, however, when taken too far, has put far too many students in danger."
According to Emerson, strict regulations, albeit necessary to enforce safety, can sometimes promote further dangerous decisions.
"I wish [police and schools] could be more forgiving when we do happen to make a mistake," Emerson said. "Students are being taught that you won't get in trouble if you don't get caught. This is only promoting to students that you should run from the police instead of staying and ensuring you are safe."
Bisset stresses the safety and wellbeing of students as the most important factor when it comes to enforcing the law. He does, however, acknowledge punishments as part of maturing and accepting increased responsibility for actions.
"There are consequences to actions, so if you do something that you know full well you shouldn't be doing, then you should expect those consequences down the road," Bisset said. "That being said, the main goal and the main priority is the safety of those students… We don't need someone running away from the police and then being hurt in the woods and we don't even know that they're there, or worse, driving themselves from that party, because they don't want to get themselves in trouble and they think that they're fine."
Increased social media use, according to teachers and officers, has played a prominent role in the party culture seen today.
"Because of social media, we know more about the parties now than we used to," history teacher Nathaniel Uttaro said. "Word travels so much faster now that a party can grow from a small gathering to a melee in a matter of minutes."
For example, according to Arvanigian, sharing party photos or locations has specifically resulted in parties becoming more out of control and problematic.
"[Students] are sharing their location via Instagram or Twitter or Snapchat or whatever," Arvanigian said. "The word gets out, and it spreads quickly. Maybe five, six years ago, the same types of parties had been happening, but they just weren't as advertised as much as they are now."
Additionally, vaping and the use of E-cigarettes has been an emerging trend, contrary to long-standing student use of alcohol and marijuana, according to Whitten.
"Five years ago, when I was here before I retired, I never had a suspension for vaping," Whitten said. "This fall alone, I have had multiple suspensions for vaping. I don't think the alcohol part of it has changed dramatically, but the amount of vaping is epidemic."
Concern for vaping and the use of vape paraphernalia stems from an understanding of the health impacts in conjunction with the potential for it to act as a type of 'gateway drug'. According to Arvanigian, this can be particularly dangerous during a person's formative teenage years.
"When Detective [Brian] Griffin [from the Northborough Police Department] came to my class, he told the students 'I've never met a drug addict who shot a needle in their arm the first try and got high on heroin,'" Arvanigian said. "They got high somewhere else before, and that was either smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, something… When we are younger in the high school years, our brains are still developing, our bodies are still developing, until about 22 to 25 years old."
Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience Gary L Wenk describes a process called 'neuronal myelination' in an article called "Why do teenagers feel immortal?" published on psychologytoday.com. According to Wenk, neuronal myelination is the process by which a teenager's frontal lobes become engaged. When these frontal lobes are not fully developed, it can result in poor decision making.
"Essentially, your frontal lobes tell you that it's a bad idea to drink alcohol and drive or to ignore the consequences of taking heroin," Wenk wrote in the article.
This psychological phenomenon can be dangerous in situations where people overestimate their capabilities.
"We think a lot of times that we are invincible, that nothing is going to happen to us," Arvanigian said.
Brain development becomes crucial to curbing these destructive behaviors, and age is an important factor.
"When your frontal lobes finally complete their process of myelination, they begin to work properly and you stop doing dangerous things. Most importantly, you stop feeling immortal. Apparently, women finish this myelination process by age 25 years and men finish by age 30," Wenk wrote in the article.
Filtering through her 15 year old cousin's wake on April 14, 2016 reaffirmed for junior Stephanie Kalinowski the weight that certain decisions carry. After her cousin passed away in an automobile accident involving alcohol, Kalinowski speaks from her experience of suffering a heartbreaking loss to stress the importance of staying safe.
"In middle school, a 'party' was just a time for friends to get together to talk, eat, and have fun. Now that I have entered high school, everyone just gets drunk and dances around."
"The reason for this change in part culture is simply down to the immaturity of teenagers… Stupid actions always happen and parties ultimately will be halted by the police's intervention, which has consequences. "
"Police responses should be severe enough to show students the consequences of their actions without instilling the mindset of trying not to get caught instead of valuing safety."
"[Police] need to trust students. We are 18 years old and are allowed to vote and serve the country, yet we are not allowed to have a small get together without being shut down."
"Partying isn't a bad thing, but it's what people choose to do at the party and after the party that can turn out so horribly wrong," Kalinowski said. "No one should ever get into a car, whether they are driving or not, if anyone in the car has been drinking… This April marks two years since my 15 year old cousin was killed in a car accident because the driver was driving way too fast and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt."
Many teachers have also felt the far-reaching effects of losing someone as a result of speeding and alcohol. In 2005, Shauna and Meghan Murphy, both Algonquin students, were killed in an automobile accident involving driving under the influence.
"The bottom line is: it comes down to people being safe, and if people are not being safe, then it's the responsibility of whoever it might be who sees that to do something about it, because we don't need a repeat of what happened to the Murphy sisters," Uttaro said. "Hopefully we only have to learn that lesson once."
Especially when a situation becomes life-threatening, Bisset urges people to get the necessary help.
"My concern is always that someone is going to be at a party where they're going to get sick because of the substances they've taken in, and someone is going to be afraid to call to get that person help," Bisset said. "If they don't get the help they need, that could be the end of the night for that person."
While Bisset acknowledges that some students abuse substances as a coping mechanism, he encourages them to seek out support in other ways, whether it might be speaking to a counselor or other adult. Healthier alternatives exist to replace dangerous behaviors and habits.
"No matter what we preach, kids are always going to do it and always going to experiment," Arvanigian said. "I just wish that they would experiment with much healthier options, such as sports, or activities, or clubs, or something like that, rather than abusing their bodies. We only have one body. You wouldn't put bad gasoline in your Ferrari or your Lamborghini, so why would you put stuff like alcohol and drugs in your one body?"
Safety and wellbeing should be the primary responsibility of the students, according to Kalinowski.
"If there is one thing I can share from all the hurt my family endured, it would be this: when your mom tells you to make good decisions as you walk out the door, it's because she wants you to walk back through it," Kalinowski said. "The decisions you make at a party can save or destroy not only your life, but so many others."

Is caffeine really bad for my overall health?Will that cup of Joe in the morning really harm your health?
Right now, it appears that a moderate caffeine intake does not increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis or cancer. Contrary to popular opinion, caffeinated drinks do not dehydrate us, especially if we are used to caffeine.
Caffeine is found naturally in more than 60 plants such as coffee and cocoa beans, tea leaves, kola nut, yerba mate, and guarana. It's also used in soft drinks, energy drinks and drugs such as some cold and pain remedies. Coffee and tea are the main sources of caffeine for adults, while soft drinks are the main sources for children.
How much caffeine is safe? Health Canada recommends that adults limit their caffeine intake to no more than 400-450 mg/day. This is about the amount found in three 8-ounce cups of regular coffee.
Health Canada also recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women limit their intake to no more than 300 mg per day (two cups of coffee or six cups of tea). Caffeine can be passed to an infant in breast milk, which may result in irritability and sleeplessness.
Recommended limits for children are even lower (45 mg/day for children 4-6 years, 62.5 mg/d for 7-9 years and 85 mg/day for children 10-12 years). It doesn't take much for children to reach these limits. There are about 45 mg of caffeine in a 12-oz can of cola, 80 mg in an energy drink and roughly 10 mg in a solid milk chocolate bar.
For the average healthy adult, moderate caffeine intakes pose no health risk, especially if we eat a balanced diet and enjoy regular physical activity.

Phil Kosin dies
Posted by Ed S.
at 8/11/2009 10:09 AM CDT on Chicago Business
Sad news.
Phil Kosin, the editor of Chicagoland Golf and the long-time host of the golf show on WSCR-AM 670, passed away last night. He had been suffering from cancer.
To those who knew him or read his magazine and listened to his show, they know he was truly a unique character. He always had an opinion, especially when it came to golf. And he never was shy about sharing them.
Agree or disagree, there was no denying that Mr. Kosin was passionate about not only golf, but golf in Chicago. You could feel it on the pages of his magazine and hear it on his show. He loved to promote courses and people and issues that supported the game in our area.
People in the golf business, and those who just simply played the game, knew they had an ally in Mr. Kosin. He will be missed.
Here's a statement from Illinois PGA executive director Michael Miller:
"The Illinois PGA is deeply saddened by the passing of Phil Kosin. For over two
decades Phil has been synonymous with golf in Illinois. There was no greater
supporter of the game and The PGA of America. Through his passion for the game
and his dedication to covering and reporting golf at both the local and national
levels, Phil earned a reputation as a very credible and respected voice within
the industry. His friendship and support will be greatly missed."

ISAF Posts Review of Development Symposium
#DEVELOPMENT - The International Sailing Federation's (ISAF) inaugural Development Symposium at Howth Yacht Club recently "promised much in the way of passionate discussion", according to its review of the two-day event.
Presentations were given by Tony Wright, training manager of the Irish Sailing Association, who outlined the ISA's national programme that keeps the focus of the sailor "at the centre of all that they do"; and Simon Jinks who walked through his new Guide to Offshore Personal Safety for Cruising and Racing.
Meanwhile, World Youth Sailing Trust coach Hugh Styles spoke on the subject of cohesive training programmes adding value to international events and leaving a legacy for host nations and teams alike.
Participants from the federation's member nations kept an 'ideas bank' which listed development ideas for future consideration, including a proposal for a development forum for sailing coaches, and using the model of the European Qualifications Framework as a reference for coaching competencies.
New Zealand, South Africa, Iceland and Turkey were also suggested as locations for future symposiums.
For more see the full review of the Development Symposium at the ISAF website HERE.

Chloe and Carl married in Cuba and were celebrating their marriage with their friends and relatives by holding a party at the Sandbanks Hotel.
They had asked if we could take some photos of them on the beach which we were more than happy to do. We often cover events such as this which also include special birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, retirement parties and christenings with 2 – 3 hours coverage.
Chloe wore her wedding dress from Daisy Bridal again , it was stunning and was perfect for the beach in Cuba. The wedding photos from Cuba boasted a bright blue sky and it was obvious that it was hot, quite a contrast to the Sandbanks beach which was windy and looking quite cold. However the sun was setting and a warm glow was starting to appear.
We returned to the hotel for a few shots inside. Chloe, a beautiful bride posed for some fabulous images before the guests started to arrive. If only we had been in Cuba!! After a few family shots we mingled with the guests for a few photos before leaving the couple with their guests to get the party started with the disco provided by Ultimate Discos
We wish Chloe and Carl all the very best for their future together and hope you enjoy these few images.
All of the images will be available to view online in the client area on our website in the next week or so using the password provided.

IV. Listening comprehension (3 min.)
T: There are a lot of channels on TV. It is very difficult to choose any to watch. Now we shall listen to the short story where Stacey and Charlotte are main characters and choose the correct answer to the questions of the exercise 4, p. 74.
Text for Listening
"Quick, let's switch on TV," said Stacey. She and Charlotte ran into the family room. They started switching from channel to channel. They found an interview, a cooking show, and two new programmes. "Boring," said Stacey. "Let's switch on MTV. At least we could hear some good music." "What's MTV?" asked Charlotte. "Music television," Stacey replied.
They looked at all the regular channels. "Boring, boring, boring," said Stacey. "Hey, here's something." She had turned to channel 47. At the top of the screen there were the words GHOST THEATRE and under them, WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
"Oh, ghosts!" said Charlotte. "Shall we try it?" asked Stacey. "It's better than anything else that's on. "OK," agreed Charlotte. They looked at each other and giggled.
Post-Listening Activities Ex. 4, p. 74 (Oksana Karpiuk)
V. Communicative activities. Monologue: "TV Preferences" (5 min.)
T: What programs do you prefer watching on TV?
What do you think about television?
VI. DVD revision (4 min.)
T: Now let's watch a short video film. While watching think about the type of programme you have got on the screen.
Black Eyed Peas Song
Where is the Love? (From Elephunk)
What's wrong with the world, mama? People living like they ain't got no mamas. I think the whole world's addicted to the drama. Only attracted to the things that'll bring you trauma. Overseas, yeah we trying to stop terrorism. But we still got terrorists here living in the USA, the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the KKK.
But if you only have love for your own ways, then you only leave space to discriminate. And to discriminate only generates hate, and when you hate then you're bound to get irate. Madness is what you demonstrate, and that's exactly how anger works and operates. Man, we got to have love just to set us straight. Take control of your mind and meditate. Let your soul gravitate to the love, ya'll.
Chorus: People killing, people dying. Children hurt; I hear them crying. When you practice what you preach, would you turn the other cheek? Father, father, father help us. Send some guidance from above because people got me, got me questioning: where is the love?
It just ain't the same, always with change. New days are strange. Is the world insane? If love and peace are so strong, why is there pieces of love that don't belong? When nations dropping bombs, chemical gasses filling lungs of little ones, with ongoing suffering as they use the air, so ask yourself: is the loving really gone?
So I can ask myself: really what is going wrong with this world that we living in? People keep on giving in. Making wrong decisions, only visions of them living in. Not respecting each other, denying thy brother, a war is going on, but the reasons undercover. The truth is kept secret, swept under the rug. If you never know truth then you never know love. Where is the love, ya'll? Come on. I don't know. Where is the truth? Come on. I don't know. Where is the love, ya'll?
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. As I'm getting older, ya'll, people gets colder. Most of us only care about money making. Selfishness got us following the wrong direction. Wrong information always shown by the media. Negative images is the main criteria. Infecting the young minds: fascism bacteria. They just want to act like what they see in the cinemas. What ever happened to the values of humanity? Whatever happened to the fairness and equality? Instead of spreading love, we spreading animosity. Lack of understanding leading us away from unity. That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under. That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down. It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under. Got to keep my faith alive until love is found. Now ask yourself: where is the love?
Sing with me ya'll: one world. We only got one world. That's all we got. Something's wrong with it
T: What type of programme have you just watched on DVD?
P1: Social advertising
T: What do you think of adverts on TV?
T: Why advertising is so important for commercial TV?
VII. Group work (Role-play situation: "A Youth Channel") (7 min.)
T: Imagine that your friend and you were offered to run a youth channel on local television and you agreed. Let's join groups of four and think about the name of your channel and make up one-day programme.
Group work
VIII. Debate on the question if TV brings more harm than good (7 min.)
T: It should be mentioned that TV has both positive and negative sides. Now join two teams and debate on the question if TV brings more harm than good.
Team 1 stands for the opinion that television gives us more useful things
Team 2 has got an opposite point of view.
Children's arguments
IX. Home task setting (2 min.)
T: Prepare for the short test paper at the next lesson.
X. Summary (2 min.)
T: At our today's lesson we have revised and learned the words and word-combinations on the topic "Television", discussed various preferences, got some new information about television in your life. I suppose you've realized that television plays a great role in our life and makes it more colorful and efficient. But don't forget to do something useful except watching TV.
(Give marks and motivate them).

The Redskins hired Scott Turner as OC. He's re-uniting with Ron Rivera after working with him in Carolina the past 2 years. Turner replaced his father, Norv, as Panthers OC for the final 4 games of last season. That's his only experience calling plays at the NFL level.
The Redskins have hired Ron Rivera as their new HC. Rivera compiled a 76-63-1 record in Carolina before being fired earlier this year. He took the Panthers to the playoffs in 4 of his 9 seasons. We'll see if Rivera retains OC Kevin O'Connell or brings in fresh blood.
Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins (ankle) is out for Sunday's finale against the Cowboys, HC Bill Callahan said. Washington will turn back to QB Case Keenum, who has tossed multiple scores in 4 of 5 full games this season. That includes a 221-2-0 passing line vs. Dallas. Keenum will be on the QB2 and DFS radar for Week 17.
Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie is undergoing additional testing. If that confirms this initial diagnosis, he won't play in Sunday's finale against the Cowboys. That'd put Case Keenum back under center for the 'Skins.
Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins was carted back to the locker room in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game against the Giants with a left ankle injury. We'll update his status when we learn more, but Haskins obviously won't be back today. QB Case Keenum is in for Washington.
The Redskins named QB Dwayne Haskins their starter for the rest of the season. The rookie has looked in over his head so far, although he showed improvement in Buffalo last time out. Regardless, it certainly makes sense for the 1-8 Redskins to get an extended look at Haskins. He'll remain just a low-end QB2 -- and a guy to attack with opposing DSTs.
Los Angeles has been a fertile spot for RB fantasy production since HC Sean McVay arrived, giving Akers a lofty fantasy ceiling if he wins the starting job.8:06am EDT 6/5/20 Read More
Which WR could win you your league? Which RB situations are worth stacking -- or avoiding? And which TE are we hoping doesn't listen to this podcast?4:06pm EDT 6/3/20 Read More
The veteran wideout brings a long record of production to wide-open opportunity and the efficiency of Drew Brees.7:06am EDT 6/3/20 Read More
How should the 2020 rookies fit into your overall dynasty rankings, and which sleepers should you go get?8:06am EDT 6/2/20 Read More
Montgomery ranked 13th among RBs in carries but just 24th in PPR points last year. Will he be more efficient in 2020?9:06am EDT 6/1/20 Read More
Golladay finished as a top 12 fantasy WR last year. Here's why you shouldn't expect a repeat in 2020.9:05am EDT 5/28/20 Read More
The Chargers' #2 WR saw his targets go deeper but his TDs dry up in 2019. Could a change at QB unlock further fantasy football upside?9:05am EDT 5/26/20 Read More

Analysis of firefly algorithms and automatic parameter tuning
Yang, Xin-She ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8231-5556 (2014) Analysis of firefly algorithms and automatic parameter tuning. In: Emerging Research on Swarm Intelligence and Algorithm Optimization. Information Science Reference, IGI-Global, pp. 36-49. ISBN 9781466663282. (doi:10.4018/978-1-4666-6328-2.ch002)
Many metaheuristic algorithms are nature-inspired, and most are population-based. Particle swarm optimization is a good example as an efficient metaheuristic algorithm. Inspired by PSO, many new algorithms have been developed in recent years. For example, firefly algorithm was inspired by the flashing behaviour of fireflies. In this chapter, the authors analyze the standard firefly algorithm and study the chaos-enhanced firefly algorithm with automatic parameter tuning. They first compare the performance of these algorithms and then use them to solve a benchmark design problem in engineering. Results obtained by other methods are compared and analyzed. The authors also discuss some important topics for further research.

2012 is going to be a great year.
I can feel it.
It's starting off on the right track.
A few weeks ago, I auditioned for the music program at my university. This raised some eyebrows, because I'm a) not a music major b) have essentially no music background and c) am almost done with an advanced degree in something else entirely.
I was terrified of this audition, because to be told no at this audition would have felt like being told "Sorry…you just can't sing. We don't see potential here."
Waiting was a big test of patience. It was almost a month before I got the final word that I had passed, been assigned to a voice studio and choir, and could register for classes.
That's right. 3 semesters out from finishing my PhD, I'm enrolled in all undergraduate music classes.
It's going to be strange going to classes again. But I'm excited.
I'm also doing something a little out there, and investing in me this year: I'm having SmartLipo, which is essentially the newest format for liposuction, performed with lasers.
It's expensive.
It's costing me, all said and done, half of what I make in a year. (I pulled this off with some extreme budgeting…bye bye iPhone…and a payment plan).
I've been self-conscious about my weight and my stomach for a long time. As long as I can remember. A few years ago I got tired of people asking if I was pregnant, so I started doing Weight Watchers and exercising like a fiend.
I lost over 25 pounds.
I'm only 5 feet tall, so that was significant. I'm currently only about 20 pounds from my super-pinnacle of achievement goal weight of 105 pounds, and I'd be happy with making it to 110. I'm not overweight, and in general I'm pretty happy with my size. I've cut out soda, candy, butter, white bread, full-fat everything, and anything fast food, besides the occasional Whopper (plain, with cheese, add barbeque sauce) from Burger King that I generally get twice a year, at Fourth of July and Christmas when boyfriend and I head over the mountains to visit his family. I've reduced portion sizes, taken to measuring everything, and acquired a Bowflex Treadclimber (second hand). On top of classes at the gym.
After a couple of years of that, I got discouraged and gave up. Because my stomach wasn't getting any smaller or less-pregnant looking, despite the fact that I'd lost a lot of weight and developed abs of steel beneath it all.
Why exercise and give up all the foods I love if I wasn't feeling any better about the one part of my body I'm self conscious about?
I binged and gave up exercise for a while. But I realized that I didn't miss huge portions, or regular soda, or fast food. I did sort of miss exercising. I just needed an added boost.
I got a doctor's opinion, and a second opinion. It turned out, I wasn't failing in my diet and exercise routine. I'm just built this way, and genetically, my extra weight wants to go straight to my stomach. The bottom line was, there isn't much I can do about it short of a) going hardcore-all-out-bodybuilding or b) having surgery.
I don't particularly want to be a body builder. And I have a friend who does it, and it's expensive when you add up all that goes into it. So I picked surgery. And a good combination of yoga, pilates, tabata, and recommitment to my Weight Watchers plan.
I don't expect surgery to give me a six-pack or fix all my body issues.
I do expect it to give me the boost I need to continue moving forward with my weight loss goals, and an added dose of confidence that I believe I deserve after all the hard work I've put in on changing my attitude and response to life in the last few years.
I've done a lot of work on me.
It's time for the outside to match the inside.
So there we have it…two major major steps I've taken toward building something amazing in 2012. It's a new beginning that has been in the works for a long time.
I love when a plan comes together.

His 40 professional wins include 30 victories on the European Tour and six major championships: three Open Championships (1987, 1990, 1992) and three Masters (1989, 1990, 1996).
Thus, it is such an honor to have my daughter Ashia Marie Sahi-Nocum qualifying to play for the "Faldo Series Asia Grand Final 2016" in China next year where she will be pitted against the best junior golfers in Asia.
After three days of challenging and grueling tournament under the Faldo Series Philippine Championship in Beverly Place Golf Club in Mexico, Pampanga, Ashia emerged among the winners in her age category to join the Philippine Team in playing for the prestigious golf tournament in China.
Apart from the playing slot, also got a Faldo Medal and a signed congratulatory message and invitation from my gold idol Nick to play in China.
What makes her feat amazing is the fact that she did not have time to practice in the unfamiliar greens of the golf course as we were all so busy to join her in her tournament games.
Congratulations Ashia for once more making us all proud; and for making all our effort to support your golfing career worth all the hard work and sacrifice.

audio blog: bits from my brain
Here are two .m4v files. If you click on the file name they will open in a separate window in Safari, or I think Firefox will just download them and you can play them through iTunes. The first one is in case you don't want to or don't have time to listen to the second one. It is an excerpt from the prologue of the book I write and never finish, and is only a couple of minutes long, 2.5 mb.
The second one is ten minutes long (9 mb) and...although it's one of my favorite things I've ever written, requires a very dry and possibly slightly warped sense of humor. If that's you, you'll giggle a time or two. I wrote it about 4 years ago, in a house we no longer occupy, so a couple of the references are out-dated. And I messed up a couple words here and there, but whatever. No one's paying me for this.
They sound slightly muddy; I confess I just record them in Quicktime and let them go. I do have neat sound-editing software, but don't much understand how to use it...well, mostly just don't have the patience to learn all the new terms.

When you were appointed to office, you said that among your priorities was the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection of the National Gallery - Veletržní palác. What can be done in the near future so that this institution finally starts to function? Veletržní palác was one of the first issues that I really had to deal with right after taking my office. I've heard about the previous problems…

There are a few ways to look at art and there are several possibilities to interpret it and make its current expressions legitimate. Looking back to history, it becomes obvious that the state which is so typical for today, that of the state of "nothing new", started long ago. Perhaps it was for the lack of a certain power in the program which usually leads to innovation and avant-garde results.…

Ephesians 4a –The Authentic Church
1. 4:1-9 Fulfilling the CallWe must walk worthy of this calling. "Calling'" in context with this study, refers to building on our position in Christ, seated at His right hand in the heavenly places (2:6), fulfilling His call and administering His fullness to all things on heaven and in the earth.
This is a very important thing we do: preach the Gospel. It should be taken very seriously. It is the whole reason for our existence; the privilege of sharing with others out of our relationship with Jesus. After describing all these great mysteries and the purpose of the church, and the secrets of the Spiritual Realm, he urges us, out of the seriousness of the Gospel–of which he is imprisoned–to walk out this stuff that he has been describing, which is Our calling, to walk worthy of this great and privileged calling to which we've been called.
a. 4:1- Honor of Persecution – He is a prisoner of the Lord: this is a brash statement considering he is imprisoned by men. The Lord made Paul worthy to suffer imprisonment, which is a great honor in the kingdom (Heb. 11, Acts 5:4), because of all that Jesus suffered. Paul may be limited in the natural, but he still has access to God in the Spirit (Eph. 3:12) and still causes movement and change in the spiritual and natural realms. His person was imprisoned but his Spirit was free. (2 Tim. 3:12) Many in the church are afraid to even speak of this (in the West) but in many ways it's a gift to make us more like Jesus. As stated here (2 Tim) it's a mark of genuine authentic Christianity. We shouldn't be weird and long for pain but when the trials come, we can have faith and press through in Jesus. In the latter part of this verse, Paul's essentially saying 'if I'm in prison for this Gospel, the least you can do is walk worthy'. He doesn't just encourage us–he implores us with all urgency–that if we're going to walk in the fullness, then we must in character and conduct, and in all function walk worthy of the call.
2. 4:2-6 Unity In The Body as there is unity in the Trinity, a mature church doesn't fight against each other, they're in unison. Not only must we individually learn how to walk in fullness, we must learn how to walk in fullness within the Body. There is only one body to be apart of and we must get along.
3. 2:7-9 We're not all the same. God has ordained it that way, each of us are called specifically to our own unique and individual calling. All of these different gifts and callings come together as one Revelation of Jesus Christ in the Earth. You've got a spiritual body–working in unity in their spiritual gifts–that form a spiritual people in their spiritual gifts, and that form a spiritual people in the earth. In the context of the flow, he is taking us into the maturity of the fullness of Christ, and setting us up for the way the church is to function in its leadership which is to properly attain and reach this maturity to a greater degree. This is an authentic church. This is the way the Spirit set up the church so it would be full.
4. 4:10-16 The Ministry of Fullness
a. 4:10 He is far above and fills all things. This is significant, because the one who is above all in all (v.11) is about to give the gifts (of these ministries–or you could say some of himself) the church, which needs these functioning properly and in unity for the church to be the fullness of Him who fills all in all. That's why this section is preceded with character development and working together, so we understand the significance of those gifts and their functioning harmoniously in the body to be an accurate and complete representation of Christ in the Earth. The gifts which he is about to describe are foundational and absolutely essential for a properly living and breathing community of believers
b. 2:20.4:11– The Ministry Gifts – The Fivefold Ministry[1]This is NT church structure. This is not for the sake of ruler-ship, but servitude. As we saw in the previous verses, these gifts are for serving the body in unity. Helping one another achieve maturity helps the whole body achieve maturity. And, as we will see in the later verses, these gifts must be present and functioning within the body (church), for it to be real and alive, and fulfilling the call of God. We are seeing these gifts restored to the church, and thank God for that. Hhowever, unless they are fully restored and begin to grow and mature into their rightful place in the Body, then the church will never walk in the fullness[2] of Christ as mature believers. The very reason God gave these gifts was so that the church would walk in fullness. He has called us to maturity and He has given us the gifts to us here.
- Apostles[3] – The apostle serves all and helps all–even the other ministry gifts–attain, develop, walk in, and release them in their calling. They are the builders and foundation layers (along with prophets). They assure proper growth of the over all body. They walk in the power of God, and are commissioned by Jesus–sent ones–building the kingdom of Heaven in the earth. The term comes from a title given to a Roman general sent to change the culture of a conquered land to that of Rome in attempt to lessen the chance of a rebellion. In application we can see that apostles are sent by Jesus to change the culture of earth to the culture of heaven. Remember where we are seated in heavenly places, we are meant to bring that to this realm.
- Prophets – Prophets do not just prophesy. They are prophetic. They discern the time and seasons. And direct the body in the right direction. Their life is a revelation of the Word carried out.
- Evangelist – NT evangelist would go out, often to new places, and demonstrate[4] the power of God as witness to Jesus as Lord. They usually confront the local spiritual authorities and relinquish them of their power. They showed the locality Jesus.
- Pastors – They shepherd and teach [5]. They help individuals and fellowships in their walk and in the growing process, keeping watch over their souls.
- Teachers – Similar to pastors; they teach all aspects of the Christian life: the Word, the things of the Spirit, operation of spiritual gifts; and equipping for ministry.
- c. 4:12 The reason for these gifts is for the equipping of the saints. This is active; we are always being equipped for what lies ahead for us to do for the Gospel. Ministry is service. We serve others and God by ministering His life to their needs. We are the ones that administer His kingdom to the earth and we need these gifts to fulfill the calling. The saints must be equipped for the work of ministry for the Body to be built up. 2:21-The building is being fitted together and is growing only if theses gifts are present and ministering according to their vocation. In a practical sense, these gifts are the trades that are required if the church is going to grow into a building that fills the earth. An authentic church-that which is real- has these gifts in full and proper operation. Anybody that denies these gifts as a vital part of the church, will not reach maturity, the knowledge of the Son, or walk in fullness. This is unauthentic and unreal according to the biblical mold[6].
- d. 4:13 We will go phrase by phrase through this verse to dissect its meaning and application to the context of which we have been studying and that of the authentic church.
- i. Until is a strong word to start the sentence here. Many use this to say that these gifts haves passed away and are no longer needed today. First of all, has the church reached what is described in this verse? Not hardly. Secondly, if we read in context with verse 12, we see it used differently.Building up of the Body, until we all attain to the unity…knowledge of the Son of God… a mature man… fullness. We are built up to attain these things: this place of knowledge, maturity and, fullness in Christ. The ministry gifts are given to make us reach this goal. Until, is not used to indicate that the gifts will be taken when the building is finished (even though the church is not even close to completion–theoretically). Untilmeans that the goal of these gifts is the Fullness of God; the place we are reaching for.
- ii. Unity – In v 4:3, we read: being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. This is necessary in the function of the gifts, because part of the purpose of the gifts is for the church to attain to the unity of the faith. Imagine all the dividing walls in the church coming down and there is one massive Body with Jesus at the head, pushing back and destroying the gates of hell, and advancing the kingdom with signs, wonders and miracles.
- iii. The Knowledge of the Son of God – These gifts mentor us. Imagine someone representing all these gifts. They have lived a lifetime walking with God, knowing Him, knowing Jesus, knowing the Holy Spirit, knowing the Word, knowing the power of ministry in the Spirit, knowing His suffering, love, etc. And, while I am still a young man, the person comes to me and pours all they know into me. I may still lack the experience, but I will have gained a lifetime of the knowledge of God from them. In essence, I will start where they are leaving off. I will receive the baton from them instead of starting the race over for myself.
•2Kings 2:11-14 Elisha was with Elijah when he was taken to heaven. Elijah had poured all of his life into Elisha. Elisha saw what God had done for Elijah. When Elijah was gone Elisha had a deep knowledge of the Lord. Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? He knew, even without the personal command experience, that God would answer Him, just as He had done for Elijah, and the water parted.
– Where are the Elijahs of God? We need the fivefold gifts in total operation for true discipleship to flourish. Where are those who know God and pour that knowledge into the young ones?
– Malachi 4:5-6 – This is the restoration of the hearts. Instead of the older revival generation cursing the younger one, as being not of God; they raise them up.
With this kind of generational transfer, the kingdom will ignite in the Earth. This is the hearts of the sons turning to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers turning to the sons; learning from and loving each other.
•Remember 1 Cor 2: The church must have this spiritual knowledge of Jesus. We are next to Jesus at the highest place in the spiritual realm (Eph 2:6). We should be masters at spiritual matters. This is where we really live, not here; yet, that is how we can have so much impact here.
- iv. Mature Man – We are being built up to attain maturity[7]. The church has been amateurs long enough. Our profession is to dictate the supernatural theory as fact, as a result of our faith in Christ. Do we possess supernatural theology or just head knowledge? We need to be individually mature and corporately mature, which is why he stresses unity here. We need to stand as one body, not a divided one. If we seek to bring out the best in others, then we will bring out the best in ourselves!
- v. Measure of the stature – Fullness of Christ – We measure up to Christ. The Body needs to be like Jesus. We put ourselves down and then use it as a reason/excuse not to grow up. Because of his blood, He allows us to measure up to Him. He seated us next to Himself and wants us to do greater things than He did. Now, when we understand our real position in Christ; we will understand measuring up to a stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. A church in fullness will be like millions of Jesuses changing the world[8].
- C. 4:14 This is grown up Christianity. Knowing our place in Christ and walking it out. The devil knows that once this machine[9]starts producing power, it cannot be stopped. He will try to keep the church from growing and reaching any level of maturity or fullness, with all of his might and forces. Paul prepares us for this attack and resistance from the wicked with the armor of God listed in chapter 6. The church in Acts changed not only their generation, but every generation since then. What would a generation that walked like that do today? What about a generation that has even greater power than they? How much could the world handle? How many generations of fathers raising up sons in the Gospel of power would it take to totally change things for good? I believe that with this kind of testimony it would not be long before all Israel was saved and Jesus return. This is a mature and authentic church.
- a. Maturity is grown up. We are now solid in our faith and doctrine, no longer bouncing form here to there[10]. This why the devil deceives us. Every group thinks that they are the right ones and many refuse to work together as a body[11].
- D. 4:15 – These verses describe an authentically living body working and growing together in Christ. All aspects of our walk should be in maturity.
- E. 4:16 – This culminates in this section: These are different gifts. Not everyone who does something in the kingdom will look and act the same. We must understand that the one who is different than us is doing their part. If we abuse them we are only hurting ourselves. I would not smash my finger in the door because I scratched myself too much[12]. Every part must be working for growth to occur. The mortar that holds the building (the church) together is love.
[1]This is not going to be an in-depth study on the ministry gifts. We will just briefly describe their role in the church and the necessity thereof; and a quick description of their function will be given. To study this and the importance of these gifts would be a separate study in itself.[2] The church today has a major absence of these gifts. Especially apostles and prophets: Recently though, there has been some, and even a great deal of restoration of the gifts. We are still light-years away from where we should be though. (The Spirit can change that in an instant, though.) Even the pastoral gift is away from its NT counterpart. Many are more CEO-like than shepherd-like. These gifts have not passed away as some claim; but in reality they are a vital part to NT church life.
[3] The descriptions are not exacting, but general. Nor are they an in-depth examination of all that the gifts pertain to. This is just a quick summary in context to the perspective from which we are studying Ephesians.
[4] NT evangelism is not like what we see mainstream churches doing. Back then, men filled with the power of God would go to a place in demonstration of the Spirit's power (1 Cor 2:4-5). This led to people believing in God rather than a new faction of men. Evangelism is not just a great and convincing speaker, nor is it handing out tracks. I am not negating these things, but this does not characterize an evangelist as we see in Scripture. Acts 8 describes Philip's first evangelistic journey. Since he is the only one in the Bible, specifically called an evangelist (Acts 21:8), what he did here probably characterizes what an evangelist does. 8:4-He proclaimed Christ to them; 8:6-The people heard and saw signs which he was performing; 8:7-Unclean spirits were cast out and the sick were healed; 8:8-There was much rejoicing; 8:11-12-He broke the power of the spiritual authority controlling the city and got their attention on Jesus; even the sorcerer got saved (13).; 8:14-15-He worked with the apostles in planting and building the church. Later, he was spoken to by angels and transported by the Spirit. Every aspect of his ministry was utterly supernatural, shoe=wing people the existence and power of God. It is necessary that the church has proper evangelism restored. In 2 Tim 4:5, Paul is raising up Timothy as an apostle, and part of his exhortation is for Timothy to do the work of an evangelist, then He says fulfill your ministry. Timothy was an apostle, but this required proper evangelism for that to be fulfilled (I am not being dogmatic here, just relating scripture to the point).
[5] See footnote 23.
[6] The mold is a flexible one and moves like the wind-John3:8. Mold was used to drive home the point. I am not saying that these people are not saved or that they are not real Christians. I am saying that they will lack all that God has for them and will need to embrace these things if they want the fullness of Christ.
[7] We will specifically discuss maturity in the Walking in Maturity sections: Just putting it in context here-which will set up the aforementioned section.
[8] I know there is only one Jesus. I am saying that a whole church full of people that are utterly Christ-like will have a great influence and impact, changing the world.
[9] In using machine, I am referring to the correct functioning system of preaching, building the church and sending out laborers to plant new works.
[10] There will always be times of growth, debate, and discussion; I am speaking of drastic doctrinal shifts when we hear the latest trend to hit the church. The TV, and even our "Christian" channels, often teaches what is popular, not what is solid Biblical truth.
[11] I am not saying compromise for tolerance. There is a truth doctrinally and we should aspire for that truth, but it should not keep us from working with and loving other members of the Body.
[12] See 1 Corinthians 12:14-26.

Lobster Rolls
The question of what makes a perfect Lobster Roll is much debated among local Mainers. No one can seem to agree on how it is best served and what the original recipe is. How should the hot dog bun be prepared? Mayo or not? Spices or not? Butter only?
The ones at the famous Red's Eats in Wiscasset allow the choice between mayo and butter…we went with butter and dipped the sandwich in it. We were happy with our choice. We also decided that lobster rolls at Red's are a cut above due to the toasty*ness of the hot dog bun. Tyson commented that it must have been buttered also. Well, what's a little more butter right? I of course, judge most lobster shacks by their coleslaw, not their lobster as lobster seems to pretty much taste like lobster…at all of them. The coleslaw at Red's hit the mark – creamy and not too tangy, sweet and shredded small. The cabbage doesn't have to be perfectly shredded but I don't like those squares or chunks people!
Of course, since we had to wait in line for awhile…I found some cute things to take pictures of.
If you want to make your own lobstah rolls like they do in Maine, you could refer here. It's just one of many conflicting ideas about how to make them. In the end, I would rave about Red's. Touristy or not, you can't really drive through the town of Wiscasset without seeing what all the hype is about. Well done Maine. Well done.

ColumbusCrewSC.com's countdown of the top five moments of 2014 continues with moment number two: the induction of Frankie Hejduk into the club's Circle of Honor and the accompanying 1-0 win over the New England Revolution.
Considering the historic significance of the Circle of Honor, this was another slam-dunk choice for the moments list. Only two players have their names permanently in the upper fascia of Crew Stadium: Brian McBride and now Hejduk, who was officially inducted on September 20 as part of a 1-0 Black & Gold win.
The induction ceremony was distinctly Frankie, with his family and former teammates joining him on the field for the honor. So many elements of the induction were memorable: the tribute video featuring shoutouts from soccer personalites connected to Frankie, the dedicated tifo display in the south stands featuring every jersey he had ever worn with Columbus, and of course, the man of the hour's speech. Take the time to rewatch the full ceremony below:
The bond between Hejduk and Black & Gold supporters is a great example of what makes sports so special. Hejduk's reaction at the end of the video when he jumps into the first row of the Nordecke is all you need to see to get the idea of how special this night was to him.
The Crew did its best to make the night even more special, as Federico Higuaín scored on a free kick-goal minutes after the ceremony ended as well:
As the intro video at the top shows, Steve Clark celebrating with Hejduk on the field is certainly one of the lasting images from this season, and indicitave of why this match makes the list.
With one moment to go, the countdown is as follows:
5. October win at Red Bull Arena
4. Historic comeback at PPL Park
3. Season-sparking explosion against LA
2. Frankie Hejduk enters Circle of Honor
1. ???
There are a lot of options for the top spot, and inevitably, some great moments will be snubbed from the list. What's your top five look like? Drop me a note and stay tuned for the unveil of this season's number-one moment tomorrow.

Richard Louv webcast. Louv, best-selling author, chairman of the Children & Nature Network, columnist, & recipient of the 2008 Audubon Medal will speak on Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder as part of the Cornell Plantations lecture series, 7:30 p.m. Eastern, Sept. 24. The event is sold out, but you can watch the live webcast. I'm pretty sure that the lecture will be archived and will post a link when it's available.
Check out this temporary park in Collegetown created by landscape architecture students. The one-day event was sponsored by The Trust for Public Land and celebrated parks by creating temporary parks in public places.
Durand Van Doren, local metal artist extraorinaire, gave a great talk at the ACNARGS meeting Saturday. Too bad the weather was so nice and attendance was sparse. He told me that he's due to install the remaining two gates on the north and south sides of Minns Garden this fall. I'll have pictures when he does.
Ladybug, ladybug, where have you gone? Another Ithaca Journal article about a citizen science project involving gardeners, students and others to find "the once-ubiquitous beetles entomologists call Coccinella novemnotata — or C-9, for short." It's our state insect here in New York, but was last collected here in 1970, having been displaced by alien ladybug species that have a penchant for coming inside over winter.
High-angle pix – When I was shooting the new sod sculpture at Bluegrass Lane last week, I thought I was doing good to get a high-angle shot from a lift on the turf crew's utility vehicle.
But while I was out there, I met Bob Chiang, the father of one of the students who did me one better when it comes to high-angle shots. Bob rigs gas-powered model airplanes with digital cameras to get really high-angle shots. But at this shoot, he was experimenting for the first time with a camera mounted on a telescoping 25-foot survey pole. Shooting blind, I think the results were quite good. If I were a professional garden photographer, I'd rush right out and get one of these so that I could get a 'second-story shot' from anywhere. Check out Bob's Landmark Images photo galleries for some great shots of the area from his model airplane.

How wonderful, how pleasing, how charming is the image of those who hope in the God Who saves
— in God the compassionate, the God of mercy, the good God Who loves mankind.
People who hope in God are truly blessed.
God is their constant helper and they fear no evil, even if others provoke them.
They hope in God and do good.
They have set their every hope on Him and they confess to Him with all their heart.
He is their boast, their God and they call upon Him day and night.
Their mouths direct praise to God; their lips are sweeter than honey and wax when they open them to sing to God; their tongue, full of grace, is moved to glorify God.
Their heart is eager to call upon Him, their mind ready to be elevated towards Him, their soul is committed to God and "His right hand has upheld them".
"Their souls will boast in the Lord". They ask and receive from God whatever their heart desires.
They ask and find whatever they seek. They knock and the gates of mercy are opened.
People who hope in God rest upon untroubled waters. And God grants them His rich mercy.
The right hand of God directs their paths and the finger of the Lord guides them on their way.
Those who hope in the Lord do not fail. Their hope never dies. God is their expectation, the furthermost desire of their hearts.
Their hearts sigh before Him all the day long: "Lord, do not delay, arise, hasten, come and remove my soul from every necessity, bring my soul out of prison.
"I will glorify you with my whole heart, Lord. Every word which proceeds from my mouth will be directed to you".
Those who hope in the Lord bless the Most High, His Redeemer and also sanctify "His holy name".
They hope, and cry to God from the depths of their hearts: "Lord, when shall I come and appear before Your face".
Those who hope in the Lord will call upon the Lord and enter into His holy place, in order to see and rejoice in His wonders.
And the Lord will hear the voice of their supplication.

Rotary Oamaru will host a group of aspiring leaders for five days' of challenges and awesome experiences. We're focused on helping you develop the top ten most desirable 21st Century skills... the skills that the World Economic Forum predicts will land you a high-paying job by 2020!
We're talking about;
- Complex problem-solving
- Critical thinking
- Creativity
- People management
- Coordinating with others
- Emotional intelligence
- Judgement and decision making
- Service orientation
- Negotiation skills
- Cognitive flexibility
You'll meet motivational speakers, real world young leaders, other aspiring leaders (just like you) and a host of locals who can't wait to show you around.
You'll be given hands on opportunities to develop your leadership skills and you'll leave this programme ready to take up the mantle on your own personal leadership quest.
You'll have experiences that prove your capability... and that means the kinds of experiences that will help you get ahead - in your career and your life.
Plus, you'll experience Oamaru at its best - think Steampunk capital, Penny Farthing racing, Little Blue Penguins, Limestone Carving, Whisky & Brewery tours, A2O NZ Cycle Trail and so much more... all on our doorstep.
