How do we define special educational needs and disabilities?
Air Balloon Hill Primary School regards pupils as having a Special Educational Need if they:
(SEND Code of Practice 2015).
How does the education setting know if children need extra help and what should I do if I think my child may have special educational needs?
Children's needs may be categorised into four different areas:
We believe that early identification of special educational needs, whether it is social, emotional, physical, communication or a specific learning difficulty, is crucial to the wellbeing of all of our children.
Special Educational Needs are identified in the following ways:
If parents / carers have any concerns about their child's development or potential special educational needs, they should in the first instance speak to the class teacher. Further meetings will then be arranged with the Inclusion Manager (INCo). Official parent's / carer's evenings are held three times a year in terms 2, 4 and 6. However, concerned parties should not wait until then but speak to the teacher as soon as they have concerns.
As an inclusive school we do not seek to closely define the special educational needs for which we will make provision. Historically we have had success in providing for a wide range of different needs, when budget, resources and availability of expertise has allowed. This has included pupils with:
In admitting pupils with special educational needs, we would expect to have informative discussions with both the pupil's family and the local authority to ascertain the suitability of our provision. We understand that it is initially our responsibility to make provision for a pupil with special educational needs through the school's devolved SEN budget. Thereafter we are aware of the process of applying for High Needs Funding if the pupil's and the school's needs make that a necessity. As a mainstream school, it would clearly be difficult for us to make provision for pupils whose needs and/or demands are significant, severe or profound – to the extent that it could be argued that they would be most appropriately placed in a special school. However, we do not rule this out and would make a careful assessment of the needs of each pupil in constructive conversation with other agencies.
How will Air Balloon Hill Primary support my child?
When a child requires specialised individual support on a medium or long term basis, an assessment of need will be carried out by the Inclusion Manager and a plan of graduated support may be put in place. This will be recorded on our assess-plan-do-review 'Support Plan' form and shared with parents / carers. The assignment and co-ordination of all additional support lies with the INCo, however, the face-to-face meetings with the parents and regular updates will be, in general, carried out by the class teacher. If a child has an Education Health Care plan, additional information meetings will take place between the Inclusion Manager and parents/carers.
We have a member of the governing body assigned to monitor SEND provision. They meet with the INCo regularly to challenge and support the school. The INCo reports the progress made by children with SEND to the governing body three times a year. This report contains analysis of the effectiveness of provision for children with SEND.
How will the curriculum be matched to my child's needs?
When planning, teachers have the responsibility to make sure learning can be accessed by all members of their class, by delivering a curriculum that is suitably differentiated. Additional resources are deployed where needed to make this possible. This could be in the form of specialist equipment, access to interventions or additional adult support in the classroom. This will be planned for on a child's graduated response support document and reviewed three times a year.
How will my child be consulted and involved in their education?
Children who have an assess-plan-do-review support plan contribute to the process by sharing their views on their strengths and needs, and strategies that they find helpful. Pupils with EHCPs or Top Up funding will contribute views on their progress and next steps as part of the annual review process.
How will both you and I know how my child is doing and how will you help me to support my child with their learning?
The support plan document is shared with parents / carers. This contains the information explaining the additional and different support a child is receiving, how often this is happening and the practitioners involved in delivering this support.
Air Balloon Hill Primary encourage good contact levels with staff. Teachers are on hand twice a day to discuss concerns and longer appointments can be made if necessary. Where this is not possible, e.g. if a child attends breakfast or afterschool provision, a home school book or email arrangement can be set up to keep an open dialogue regarding progress. These things happen outside of our normal reporting arrangements, which happen three times a year.
If part of a child's provision is a specific intervention such as Maths Counts or Fast Track Reading, then parents / carers are provided with information on what this will entail before starting and ways of supporting their children at home are fully explained.
The INCo is available to meet with parents / carers to provide updates and explore options regarding meeting children's needs. Parents / carers can also book sessions with our Family Support Worker to look at ways of meeting additional needs at home.
What support will there be for my child's overall wellbeing?
We have the following support available, which make up our 'Nurture Package':
What specialist services and expertise are available at or accessed by the educational setting?
We access external specialist support for children as required these include:
Many of these services are called in by school, others are accessed via your child's GP (e.g. paediatrician service). The INCo can offer advice around accessing such support.
What training are the staff supporting children with SEND had or having?
Staff access training on a rolling programme depending on the children they are working with. Over the last few years support staff received training from Occupational Therapy (handwriting), Bristol Autism Team and the Hearing and Vision Impairment Services. We have an in-house performance management system for support staff, which identifies needs and targets support. Recently, this has included speech and language development, inference training, Gem Project, attachment training, behaviour improvement techniques including positive handling and diabetes training.
How will Air Balloon Hill Primary prepare and support my child to join their setting, transfer to a new setting or the next stage of education and life?
A change of school, class and staff can be an exciting, yet anxious time for all pupils. We recognise that this can be very challenging for some pupils with SEND. We endeavour to make sure these periods of change are carefully managed in a sensitive way to provide continuity of high quality provision and reassurance to pupils and families. Our school understands the need for good transition practice and this is especially important for a pupil with SEND.
If a child has an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) or significant SEND, preparation for transfer to secondary provision begins in year 5. Parents / carers are encouraged to visit settings and produce a short list. The Inclusion Manager then supports the decision making process by arranging additional visits, accompanying parents if required. The chosen school(s) is then invited to the pupils' Annual Review meeting. There will be a thorough handover in order to ensure that the new school have a good understanding of the pupils' needs and requirements.
When a placement has been agreed, a transition plan is formulated on an individual basis. This includes extra visits to the setting to meet with key staff. Children may be identified for group or individual sessions with our art therapist or nurture team to support transition. Occasionally, transition is support by outside professionals, such as the Bristol Autism Team.
How are Air Balloon Hill Primary's resources allocated and matched to children's special educational needs?
A costed provision map is produced each year to show how the school's SEN budget is spread across the school. Interventions are implemented in response to need. The level of additional support in each class or year group is not uniform, as it is based upon the needs of our individual cohorts.
When a child has received support in excess of £10, 000 per year and still needs a greater level of provision, then a request for additional funding may be applicable in order to meet their needs via the high needs funding TOPUP procedure.
How is the decision made about what type and how much support my child will receive?
The decision to give a child additional support may be made by measuring their distance away from age related expectations. This decision is made by the Inclusion Manager in response to concerns raised at pupil progress meetings, parents meetings or SEN review meetings. We have a wide-ranging package of interventions that have proven results to aid the acquisition of basic skills in both literacy and numeracy. These are time constrained and progress measured. Parents / carers will be informed their child is on such a programme by the class teacher or the practitioner running the intervention. Ways to support at home can also be discussed at this point.
If a child or group of children have additional learning support in class, it is because we believe they can't effectively access the curriculum or mainstream classroom without this. Reasons for this could include communication and interaction difficulties, social and emotional difficulties or sensory and physical needs. We recognise the well-documented studies that show additional adults in class do not lead to accelerated outcomes and therefore, we only use this approach when it is the only way to keep a child included.
If a child has a learning support assistant (LSA) they are available before and after school to meet with parents/carers to discuss learning and offer support.
The impact of these interventions are measured three times a year by the INCo. The measures of attainment and more importantly, progress are used to measure success and plan effectively.
How are parents / carers involved in the education setting? How can I be involved?
Parents / carers come into school on a daily basis in year R and 1. Throughout the rest of the school, the adults involved with their child's education are available before and after school daily. The Inclusion Manger, Pastoral Leaders, Achievement Leaders and Deputy Heads are also on hand to discuss any concern they may have. We encourage a close working relationship between parents and school as we believe they know their child best. We consult heavily when forming care plans and meeting medical and physical needs. We understand that parenting can be a demanding job and encourage parents to access our Family Support Worker, Children's Support Worker and Inclusion Manager.
How will my child be included in activities outside the classroom including trips?
We strive to make sure all trips and activities are accessible for all learners. Ratios of staff to children are adjusted to make this possible. Parents of children with specific disabilities or medical needs are consulted in the planning stages and an individual risk assessment is carried out if needed.
How accessible is the education setting?
Air Balloon Hill Primary is on a large sloping site. It is a mixture of buildings that are over 100 years old and a recently built 12 classroom block housing reception, year 1 and year 6. The classrooms are all accessible by wheelchair and there are disabled toilet facilities spaced around the school.
Acoustically, the new build is superb for children with hearing impairments. The old build however, is not, as all rooms have high vaulted ceilings. We take advice form the Hearing Impairment Service regarding seating positions of the children and any other reasonable adjustments they suggest.
Equipment to support children is often purchased directly by the school. In the case of a large piece of equipment e.g. a hoist, needed for a particular length of time, we would look to hire or loan it.
We have worked with the Ethnic Minority Inclusion and Assessment Team and created a procedure for new arrivals. We use the Bristol Translation Service for meetings and parents evenings where we need support in communicating and collecting parent's points of view.
Every caution is taken to make sure the site is secure, however, we cannot accommodate children with high levels of behavioural needs that present as climbing, escaping or hiding, as the site is too large to guarantee their safety.
Accessibility Plan
In line with the Equality Act, 2010, Air Balloon Hill Primary School has an Accessibility Plan, which is reviewed and updated every two years. This Accessibility Plan is available on the policies page of our website.
The plan is in place in order to:
Who can I contact for further information?
If a parent / carer is worried about their child they should first contact their child's teacher or the Inclusion Manager, Mrs Jenny Knight (ask at main office).
If a parent / carer of a child with SEN is considering joining Air Balloon Hill Primary they should speak to the Inclusion Manager, who will talk to them about their child's specific needs and how we can meet them.
The Bristol Local Offer is set out on the Findability website:

We are New Beginnings Estate Sales of SW MO
the ONLY true Estate Sale Company for the Joplin Metro area and SW MO.
This sale description was copied from EstateSales.NET on 6/2/2020 (225-220-11:37:02 AM). Please check there for accurate up-to-date information (231-3).
PLEASE NOTE! As of April 1, 2020, we have handled over 100+ estate sales since 2015 alone. We are the #1 Estate Sale Company in SW MO.... do not be fooled by the other knockoffs! They do not have the exposure with buyers like we do! Our buyers beg for our sales weekend and week out. Choose the best!
- We cover all of the SW Mo area, from Lamar to Monett, to Mt Vernon to Joplin, into the Baxter Springs, KS, Pittsburg, KS and Galena KS areas.
- While a majority of our sales are local, we have had great success going into smaller towns in rural areas. Often times, those areas only see auctions, so a fresh spin on sales is to have an Estate Sale.
- We have a $1250 minimum commission for Estate Sales. This is due to the amount of work required in order to prepare for a sale. A traditional sale is 35% commission off the total gross sales. You would be surprised how quickly you can get to $1250 commission so have no fear there!
- You do not pay us anything up front... most companies require that, or ask that you pay for the advertising up front. WE DO NOT! We work hard from start to finish, and request nothing up front.
- A $150 advertising fee is charged to the seller at the end of the sale. This is taken directly from the proceeds of the sale. We ask that the seller pay a portion of the advertising to help offset the large cost of print material. We utilize the Joplin Globe Classifieds as our biggest expenditure to run not only a Wednesday teaser ad, but also run a 3-4 day 2X6" ad in the garage sale section for 3-4 consecutive days. We also use the 2nd largest publication in the area, The Big Nickel, by way of their auction section. While there is cost to having a sale for advertisement, we also utilize Facebook with our company page "New Beginnings Estate Sales of SW MO" (which has over 3000+ followers and likes) and Craigslist Joplin and Craigslist Springfield. Sometimes, if we have the need to advertise in other towns, due to the uniqueness of items at the sale, we will go so far as to put the ads in KC, Tulsa, and NW Arkansas.
- Our Facebook Page is growing by leaps and bounds. if you hire a company that is not on Facebook, then they are doing you a complete disservice. We are the ONLY company in the SW MO area that has over 3800+ followers on Facebook. Just think, that's 3800+ people who are being told about your sale. Plus, if they like our page, that means their friends are seeing your ad to! Market exposure on Facebook is HUGE! A lot of our competition has less than 500 followers.
- Craigslist is HUGE! and FREE! we promote our sales 2 weeks in advance to let buyers know where, when and what we will have to sell.
BUYOUTS: New Beginnings now offers buyouts of entire homes, partial estates, or individual pieces. Depending on the situation or time frame, it may be necessary to do only a buyout... where we offer to buy out the contents of the home, pack it up, and haul it away. While we do not charge you a commission for this service, we do price the contents in a fair way to make you as the customer feel that you were treated fairly.
Setup begins on the Monday before the sale (most often, unless its an abnormally large sale). We have a crew of 4 that work to get the sale as prepared as we can make it. often times, you will see a crew member in the garage and outdoors working that section, a crew member setting up linens and cleaning closets, another doing the kitchen and living areas, and another doing the bedrooms. With this amount of crew, our setup time is spotless! And we will always stay til the last minute to make sure your sale is a success!
Tear down begins immediately after the sale on Saturday. We will arrange for whatever left over items (remember, our goal is to sell everything!) to be donated, sold, or thrown away. Thrown away? Yes, sometimes when it comes down to it, a few items may be for the trash... because if we couldn't get $1, then it wasn't worth a $1 to begin with. With items being donated, we will always allow for the seller to have the last say so as to which charity they wish to have the items donated to.
Our last step is to vacuum the home. We want it to be left in the same condition we saw it... spotless! Just a friendly reminder, our service provides cleaning as we go. We throw away and haul off trash, non-usable items that either need to be scrapped or hauled to the dump. Sometimes, our company asks that you as the seller provide a dumpster. On occasion, its necessary! Sometimes, it is necessary to utilize a dumpster... this could be an additional cost to you as the seller.
We do not charge a consultation fee! Call us today!
Not only do we handle sales for those that have passed, but we also perform Downsizing, Moving out of state, and even the ugly word "divorce" sales. Each sale presents its own challenges but we are capable to handle the situation!
"When our parents passed away within eight weeks of each other our family was over whelmed. We had 28 years of accumulation to go through. Michael came to our parent's home and assured us he could help. We set our date and Michael and his staff did all of the work. Michael arranges everything including finding someone to take items that are left or unwanted. He makes sure your items are fairly priced by staying up with current market values. I am completely satisfied that our family chose New Beginnings Estate Sales to help during a difficult time." -Kristen Fearnow 11/13/2017 (Joplin Sale)
"We were overwhelmed at our mom's recent passing, and the last thing we wanted to think about was getting rid of mom's things. But Michael and his crew stepped in and took over the process of liquidating my mothers house, plus he listed the home to! It was a weight off our already tired shoulders for Michael to do the sale. Mom knew she was going to need to have a sale and was thrilled when we told her who would be doing it for the estate when she passed and she 'approved'!" - Clarissa McCoy (4/22/2018) Webb City Sale
"Michael and his team were awesome! We couldn't have asked for someone better to do our parents sale. It was a rough home to work in... condition wise and we knew that going in. Unfortunately the emotions were to high for us as the family to do the work, so we hired New Beginnings to do the set up, selling, and tear down. We walked in at the end to an empty home. And were thrilled with the proceeds and process! More than we had expected to get." -Bottoroff Family (7/20/2018) Joplin

The Free Press reports today that the Lions are still staying quiet on the recent tampering charges they were hit with by the Chiefs, and are just going to let the process play out.
The Detroit Lions insist they want to move on from the tampering charge the NFL found them guilty of last month, but they continue to let questions linger on whether they appealed the verdict. Lions president Tom Lewand declined to say today whether the team formally appealed the punishment that cost them a seventh-round draft choice and forced them to swap fifth-round picks with the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I don't think we really need to get into that," Lewand said in a teleconference with reporters to discuss the NFL lockout. "I think we've said what we needed to say on that. Both Martin (Mayhew) and Jim (Schwartz) addressed it down in Indianapolis and we'll let the process play itself out with the league. And again no matter what happened, I said this when it was filed a long time ago, no matter what happens we'll be prepared to move forward and we are."

During our premarital counseling session, our pastor and his wife asked us to talk to each other about specific expectations we had for each other going into marriage.
My husband mentioned a few things we had previously discussed, but I remember one thing he said stood out:
"Me and Victoria talked about it and she said that she is going to keep her legs shaved regularly," he said matter-of-factly.
There was a pause in the conversation, and both our pastor and his wife looked at each other with knowing smiles on their faces. The wife started laughing and she said, "just wait … that won't last long!"
Their reactions were priceless, but the conversation was a little embarrassing. I figured shaving wouldn't even be something that would come up in our marriage. What girl who is about to marry and move in with her soon-to-be husband is planning on just letting her body go, including her hairy legs?
Fast forward to us being married, and they were right! My "regularly scheduled shaving" became less and less regular. Towards the end of my first pregnancy, I couldn't even bend over to shave my legs even if I wanted to. After having my baby, most days I took a shower with my newborn so I didn't have the time to shave.
To my surprise, my husband's response was little to nothing. I would even tell him not to touch my legs when we were cuddling because,"I didn't have time to shave today." His response was always, "I don't care! I just want to be close to you, I don't care if your legs are prickly or smooth!"
As it turned out, my husband couldn't care less that I wasn't shaving regularly. Our love is much much deeper than freshly shaved legs … or lack thereof. I still try to look my best for him when I can, but it is a relief to know that he wants me no matter what I look like.
Looking back on that awkward conversation with our premarital counselors, we laugh just like they did about the expectations we had going into marriage.

Beyond Ray Tracing: Innovative Optical Design with Fast Physical Optics - Tucson, AZ, USA
26 October 2018
Tucson, AZ, USA
University of Arizona
Modern optical technology has so branched out from traditionally understood lens systems that ray optics often falls short when it comes to simulating and designing cutting-edge optical systems with acceptable accuracy. A software package that yields fast physical optics simulation results alongside ray tracing then becomes, not a choice, but a necessity. This is precisely what VirtualLab Fusion offers: come to our free seminar to discover the fast physical optics concept, how to benefit from it through our user-friendly GUI, and an overview of what it can provide in a wide-ranging set of applications!
Seminar Schedule:

I haven't ever been a sugar addict but from time to time I do enjoy a little sweet treat. And as I talk to people about the Paleo lifestyle (I don't like to refer to it as a "diet"), the one thing I like to emphasize is the fact that one never feels deprived eating Paleo. And that includes having a sweet fix now and then!
I have become quite engrossed lately looking for all sorts of Paleo recipes, mainly on Pinterest. And let me just tell you...there are LOTS out there! All you have to do is put what you are looking for in the search engine and then begin a wonderful collection to try yourself. The recipes I share with you are always "tried, tested and approved" before I put them on this site. Most, I am really impressed with and like enough to prepare more than once. One of my other favorite places to find Paleo recipes is The Paleo Mom. This link is to her Facebook Page where you can find many great recipes to try. As a matter of fact, she is just coming out with a new cookbook that I predict I will be rushing out to order a copy of.
Now, on to the subject of satisfying those sweet cravings while eating Paleo. It is my belief that if you want something sweet, go ahead and eat it but stay clean and eat in moderation. Make your sweet treats ahead of time to keep from grabbing something not so good when that craving hits you. I have included a couple of great sweet recipes that I have "tried, tested and approved" that I think might just hit the spot for you.
Both of these recipes were found on Pinterest (I told you this was a great resource for finding Paleo recipes). The first one is a Brownie recipe that not only I tried but it also got the seal of approval from the Hubby, a son and a daughter-in-law.
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil (*I used coconut oil*)
1 T. vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup cocoa (unsweetened)
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and mix ingredients together. Bake for approximately 25 mins. OR until the middle does not giggle (ovens may vary).
These brownies were delicious and the perfect snack for those days when I just had a craving for something sweet. I must admit though that I still got that stab of guilt in my stomach that it was OK for me to grab something so good to eat. I know, I know...old habits die hard.
The second recipe also came from Pinterest and I actually got Parker Ann to help me prepare it. She had such fun rolling these Energy Bites in unsweetened coconut. This snack was also "tried, tested and approved" not only by me but also the Hubby, my sister (who is a sweets expert) and my cousin. I made a batch of these and one in the afternoons was the perfect sweet fix for me to enjoy for an entire week.
1/2/ cup almonds
1/2/ cup cashews
1/2/ cup Medjool dates, pitted
Zest and juice from 3 key limes
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
I put the almonds and cashews into my Ninja and pulsed them until fine. Then I added the dates and lime zest and juice. I rolled them into balls and poured the unsweetened coconut out on the counter for Parker Ann to roll the balls in. We then placed them in a dish and refrigerated them.
I predict that this recipe will be a favorite of mine for a very long time. I made it originally on Parker Ann's birthday party day because I knew they would be serving birthday cake and I didn't want to be tempted to sneak a bite. Like I said, I enjoyed one in the afternoon with a cup of coffee for the perfect healthy snack.
Now, one thing to remember about sweets and the Paleo lifestyle in general; moderation still applies. Just because you are now eating in a healthier manner does not mean that you can eat the house down. Just watch what you eat and how much you eat of it and before you know it, you will see your body changing in ways you never thought possible!

With the Harlem Globetrotters having passed through town early in April, the idea that there isn't much of note on the Binghamton sports scene was highlighted. Granted, an event like a Globetrotters game is no small matter, even if they're not quite the famous show they used to be. But on the professional level, the area's sports scene is somewhat lacking.
This might lead some who are passing through or even moving to Binghamton to wonder what sports-related options there are that are at least within driving distance. The following options serve as a fairly comprehensive answer to that question.
Syracuse University Basketball
Syracuse University has one of the most consistently excellent college basketball programs in the country. The team frequently boasts NBA-level talent, and, competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference, plays annually against the likes of North Carolina, Duke, and other famously terrific programs. The team plays its home games at Syracuse's Carrier Dome, which has been ranked among the 10 best venues for college basketball, and which is barely more than an hour's drive north of Binghamton. It also happens to be a massive stadium, which means you can usually find a ticket one way or another.
Buffalo Bills Football
The Buffalo Bills don't have the best reputation in the NFL, but then some would argue that it doesn't really matter - it's still the NFL. Professional football occupies a uniquely special place in the American sports psyche, so to speak, and attending a live game even for a struggling franchise can make for an awesome experience. The drive to New Era Field, where Buffalo plays its home games near the shores of Lake Erie, takes less than three-and-a-half hours, which can be worth it for a day trip, but which also gives you a nice excuse for a weekend away. After all, once you're there you're just barely south of Niagara Falls as well!
Philadelphia 76ers Basketball
It's almost exactly a three-hour drive south to Philadelphia, where the 76ers have become one of the more exciting teams in the NBA. Even now in fact, the latest odds from bookmakers have the 76ers factoring into the current NBA playoff picture, with a reasonable chance to advance to the Finals. Furthermore, this team isn't just competitive, but fairly young, meaning it should continue to be a playoff factor in years to come. This in turn should make the Wells Fargo Center, where the team plays its home games, a fun place to visit for the foreseeable future.
Hartford Athletic Soccer
Hartford Athletic isn't quite on the same level as these other teams in terms of prestige or name recognition. However, the four-hour trip to Hartford is worth it for anyone who loves soccer. Hartford Athletic is one of the newest teams in the USL Championship, which is a division below the MLS but still a very competitive league. It's always exciting to see a brand new team attempting to make a name for itself, and starting this summer the club will occupy the beautifully updated Dillon Stadium, which makes for a nice, casual outdoor sports experience.
Lastly, it should also be mentioned that Cooperstown is within driving distance. This is not a place you go to watch professional sports, but it is home to the Baseball Hall Of Fame - a legendary place that's attracted everyone from casual baseball fans to President Obama. If you like professional baseball at all, or ever did growing up, Cooperstown is worth the hour-and-a-half drive. There's a certain magic to it, even if it's more like visiting a sports museum than attending an actual sporting event.
Hopefully these options, covering various sports in various directions, give you some idea of how you can enjoy sports from Binghamton even if the city itself doesn't have much of a reputation for them.

Fit: 2015 Honda Fit - Audio and Telematics
Key New Audio, Information and Telematics Features
Audio Systems
All systems feature Speed-Sensitive Volume Control (SVC). As vehicle speed changes, the audio system's volume is automatically raised or lowered to compensate for changes in ambient cabin noise. The feature can be deactivated at any time.
Display Audio
Icons resembling smartphone apps are displayed on the high-definition, capacitive touchscreen, making the interface intuitive and easy to use. Standard internet-sourced music and media options, such as Pandora® are built into the Display Audio interface, with the ability to create personalized stations, tap to "like" songs, and view album artwork directly from the touchscreen. Display Audio also integrates touch operation of the volume (with a quick-swipe adjustment), menu, and return functions for a modern and sleek look. The EX-L with Navi model includes the Display Audio with a fully integrated and fully featured Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System? with continuously updated traffic information.
HDMI Audio and Video Playback
Next Generation HondaLink?
Four specialty HondaLink apps provide organization and are a gateway to additional online content:
Additional new features found with HondaLink include HondaLink Assist, which can help request emergency assistance for drivers. If there is a cellular connection and an airbag deployment sensor is triggered by a collision, the system is designed to automatically attempt to notify an operator, report the car's current location, and allow you to talk directly to the operator. The operator can then contact emergency services if needed.
The connection between the system and the user's smartphone is made through the USB interface and a new HDMI interface. For iPhone 5, 5S and 5C, a HondaLink iOS cable kit is available for purchase through Honda dealers or online at hondanavi.com. The iOS cable kit includes an Apple Lightning digital AV adapter, an Apple Lightning-to-USB cable and an appropriate-length HDMI cable (Apple-approved). Consumer information and helpful tips regarding HondaLink can be found at hondalink.com.
HondaLink Assist
Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System? With Voice Recognition and Honda HD Digital Traffic
The navigation system can be controlled by voice or through the 7-inch electrostatic touch-screen Audio Display utilizing its tap, pinch and swipe functionality. The voice-activation system can respond to more casual command phrases that require less user familiarization, in addition to the previous capability of being able to understand spoken city and street names. For example, a voice request for "Radio 98.3 FM" can now be spoken in approximately a dozen different ways ranging from "change the radio station to 98.3" to "98.3 FM." This logic applies to audio functionality of the audio/information screen. The navigation system can also be controlled by voice with conventional navigation commands like, "Find nearest Chinese restaurant" or "find nearest ATM."
The audio system is automatically muted when the "Talk" button is pressed. The voice-recognition technology allows the driver to simply speak city and street names aloud, and the system responds by displaying the matches available in the database. Points of interest on the map-such as restaurants or grocery stores-can be displayed with brand logo icons or you can have the system provide turn-by-turn navigation, all by voice command. The massive point-of-interest (POI) database includes telephone numbers that can be dialed by using the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system when the driver's cellular telephone is connected to the system.
The Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System uses GPS in combination with detailed information from the vehicle's mapping system to pinpoint the vehicle's location and to provide a host of useful mapping and route guidance features. The antenna can utilize up to 12 satellites from a network of 24 global positioning satellites. If the antenna is obstructed by a tunnel, a parking garage or a tall building, an internal gyroscopic system and a speed sensor track the location of the vehicle so that the map information remains current and reliable. The vehicle clock is independently controlled by GPS data, so when time zones are crossed while driving, the clock will automatically set itself to the current time.
Siri Eyes Free Integration
Owners can direct Siri to perform a number of specific tasks while they keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.
SMS Text Message Function
Once a compatible phone is paired with the Fit's Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system, the text messaging function is enabled. When the phone receives a text message, an alert appears on the 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen. Using the touchscreen, the driver can choose to have the message read aloud, can select among the preset reply choices, or can call the sender-all without touching the phone.
To help avoid driver distraction, the text of the incoming message is not displayed on screen unless the transmission is in Park.
Available factory preset text replies:
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® enables audio files to be played through the vehicle's audio system wirelessly with a feature called Bluetooth® Audio. If an audio compatible device is paired it will be added as an auxiliary source on the Monitor Audio (LX) or Display Audio (EX, EX-L) screen. This allows the Bluetooth® device's media to be played wirelessly by the audio system. Cell phone devices that support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.3 allow the display of metadata for artist, album and track name on the Monitor Audio or Display Audio screen. The vehicle's audio controls for "skip forward" and "skip backward" allow for navigation from track to track.
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® is designed for easy use. After the driver completes a simple one-time "pairing" process to link the cell phone with the vehicle, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® can communicate wirelessly and securely with the driver's cell phone when the phone is within about 33 feet of the vehicle. Once the driver enters the vehicle, the phone can be stored in a pocket, briefcase, purse or a storage bin inside the vehicle's cabin as the call transfers information through the wireless telephone interface. Certain compatible cell phones can also transfer the cellular phonebook into the vehicle through the Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® system. After the cellular phonebook is transferred, calls can be made by making selections from the registered phonebook on the information screen.
Operational features include:

Guided medi tation\n
In this class we will begin with a practice of breathing aw
areness and somatic meditation\, which is meditation which focuses on foll
owing the sensations of the body. This practice is invaluable as it can be
practiced anywhere to start to calm down our thoughts\, and bring us into
our bodies and the present moment\, and stimulates the parasympathetic re
sponse of our bodies\, and out of fight or flight.
\nNext we will be lead through a guided meditation. After entering into deep relaxation we w ill explore deeper parts of ourselves within our bodies and souls\, each m onth focusing on different topics\, such as\, self love\, forgiveness\, co mpassion\, creating boundaries\, finding our voice\, creating space\, recl aiming our bodies\, and learning to listen to our bodies\, minds and spiri ts. Afterwards\, a few minutes to write about your experience and space to share.
Shannon Knorr has been teaching rehabilitative Pilates\, Y
oga and embodiment for almost 2 decades. She has completed a 500 hour adva
nced yoga training as well as having a degree in Dance/Movement Therapy. S
he has extensive knowledge of the body\, it's anatomy and the workings of
the inner body. She believes that a movement practice truly is a dialogue
with our own bodies. Shannon is a breast cancer survivor and during her t
reatment and recovery found her movement practice to be her lifeline. Shan
non believes that Pilates and Yoga are accessible to every body\, and lear
ning about our bodies puts our health and wellness into our own hands. Thr
ough our movement practice together\, may we develop a stronger connection
to ourselves and our bodies\, which in turn deepens our connection to the
greater world. Inhabiting our bodies brings us more into the present mome
nt and more into our very own lives.

British accounting firm BDO highlights the fact that the U.K. economy will be extremely weak as far out as 2015, with 'uncomfortably high' risk of a double dip recession, according to a 'Transitions' report released today.
To make things worse, there are far too many similarities between the U.K. today and Japan pre-deflation.
"Economists seem to believe there is only a remote possibility that the UK could follow the Japanese 1990s route into stagnation. But with no scope for further fiscal easing, interest rates at 0.5 per cent and £200bn of QE already in place, there is little more that the authorities can do to prevent such an outcome. So if banks remain reluctant to lend and households and businesses remain reluctant to borrow, it seems to me the risk of a Japanese- style outcome should not be easily dismissed."
Yet the real crux of the report is that British board rooms remain largely oblivious to the risks ahead — BDO found that as much as 44% of British corporate board members believe business will soon be back to 'pre-recession normality'.

In Focus
Month in Space Pictures: November 2018
A lunar transit, Insight's first look at Mars and more.
Shooting "star"
An Antares rocket carrying a robotic cargo ship to the International Space Station soars over the Thomas Jefferson Memorial on Nov. 17. The cargo craft, which launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, delivered about 7,400 pounds of science experiments, supplies and other hardware to the orbiting outpost.
Dark and stormy
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured this view of Jupiter's magnificent, swirling clouds. The image, released on Nov. 22, was taken as the space probe performed its 16th close flyby of the giant planet.
Countdown to launch
NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko complete final training exercises ahead of their scheduled launch to the International Space Station on Dec. 3.
"Final exams are complete and Expedition 58/59 crew members are preparing to visit their new home for the next 6 months," NASA tweeted, along with the photo, on Nov. 30.
Nice catch!
NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor shared this photo of the robotic Cygnus cargo ship arriving at the International Space Station on Nov. 19. Auñón-Chancellor and her crewmate, Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency, used the space station's robotic arm to capture the cargo craft and dock it to the orbiting outpost.
"Proud to have The SS John Young on-board!" Auñón-Chancellor tweeted.
Celestial interference
The Solar Dynamics Observatory witnessed this so-called lunar transit — when the moon passed between the spacecraft and the sun — on Nov. 7. The celestial event lasted just under an hour, and at its peak, the sun was about 44 percent obscured.
The photo, released on Nov. 17, was captured in a wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light, a type of light that is typically invisible to human eyes but is shown here in gold.
Sunset recovery
The USS John P. Murtha is shown retrieving a prototype of NASA's Orion capsule from the Pacific Ocean on Nov. 1. It was one in a series of tests that the space agency's Exploration Ground Systems Recovery Team, along with the U.S. Navy, are conducting to practice fetching the Orion spacecraft after it splashes down following deep-space exploration missions.
Members of NASA's Mars InSight landing team celebrate after receiving confirmation that the spacecraft successfully touched down on the surface of the Red Planet on Nov. 26. InSight now begins a two-year mission to study the deep interior of Mars.
First look
The Mars Insight lander beamed back this photo — its first from the Martian surface — on Nov. 26. The landscape of the Red Planet is obscured by debris on the camera's dust cover, which was later removed.
Up, up and away
Spectators gaze up at the trail left behind by a rocket carrying the Indian Space Research Organization's GSAT-29 communications satellite, which launched from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh on Nov. 14.
Godspeed, Alan Bean
Apollo astronaut Alan Bean is laid to rest in a ceremony held Nov. 8 at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Bean, who died on May 26, was selected as an astronaut in 1963 and flew in space twice, becoming the fourth human to walk on the moon on Nov. 19, 1969. He later spent 59 days in space as commander of the second Skylab mission in 1973.
Massive wildfire
The Landsat 8 satellite captured this photo of the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire to date in California history, on Nov. 8. The photo, released on Nov. 17, shows the fire burning about 85 miles north of Sacramento.
The death toll from the fire stands at 88, and U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke recently said costs associated with the deadly blaze will likely be in the billions.
Rendezvous with an asteroid
This photo was created using eight images taken on Oct. 29 by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft as it closes in on its target, the asteroid Bennu. The images were snapped from a distance of about 205 miles, but both the spacecraft and the asteroid were moving at the time.
According to NASA, the OSIRIS-REx team used a super-resolution algorithm to combine the eight images and produce a higher resolution view of the space rock.
A Soyuz rocket carrying the Metop-C weather satellite launches from the Kourou, French Guiana, on Nov. 6.
Lunar lights
Spectators examine a giant floating ball depicting the moon's surface in the Obvodny Canal in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Nov. 3. The orb was part of an installation for the city's "Festival of Lights."

Would any serious business knowingly ignore 10% of its prospects or customers? You'd think not. But the fact is more than 10% of the online population has a disability – that's 750 million people worldwide and 55 million Americans. And while it may seem like a no-brainer to ensure websites are accessible to this huge audience, a lot of organizations – either through ignorance or indifference – have not made catering to this vast group a priority.
Case in point: Target, which in 2008 agreed to a $6 million class action settlement after the retail giant was sued by a blind advocacy group had alleged its website was inaccessible to the blind and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
That's likely to happen a lot more as the US Department of Justice actively pursues companies and organizations out of compliance with ADA, like Section 508, which establishes requirements for any electronic and information technology developed, maintained, procured, or used by the federal government.
In response, more and more human resources departments are sounding the alarm bell in an effort to accommodate ADA concerns and avoid a negative impact on their organizations – like loss of customers, avoidance of lawsuits and harm to overall brand image. Unfortunately, they sometimes come face to face with IT staff occupied with other pressing concerns and web developers who have never had to make ADA compliance a standard part of their development cycle.
Two interrelated hurdles to ADA compliance are, not surprisingly, time and cost – both of which run high when compliance testing is done manually. But a lot of the pain IT professionals feel when dealing with compliance can be easily avoided with two relatively simple steps: [Read more…]

The Father says today, set your affection on things above. You are more than a creature derived from the dust realm. The dust realm is where the serpent finds its food. There is nothing for you – no sustenance for your soul to be found in the dust realm, says God. I have given you this day of the hidden manna that is only found in My glory. Set aside the dry husks of the swine's flesh food that only satisfies momentarily and then burdens you down in guilt and sorrow. You are more than flesh and blood. I became flesh and blood so that you could become a creature of spirit and life. Receive My life this day. Drink of My life that is liberally poured out to you this day, says God.
Michael, the great prince, is standing up among My people in this day. Though all the world stands against you, I have sent angel warriors and angel reapers into your life to litigate in your defense and to militate in your favor. Rejoice, says God, for out of the Lamb's book of Life your name has been declared and because of that CHANGE IS AT HAND. Embrace the change that I am bringing, says God. Accept that you are an eternal being living out a finite existence to be an example of grace and life and overcoming by My Strength every obstacle that comes against you. As I am from above, so you are from above because I have received you to Myself. You are not merely human. You are a new creation because in the cross I brought a conclusion, a terminus to the Adamic race and by the new birth I have brought you to Myself and raised you up as God men and God women in the earth. Embrace this and demonstrate it in every thought, word and action as you go about your day this day, says your Father.

James, Dominic and me took the Shinkansen out to Mishima on Thursday where we wanted to start to explore some more roads of the Izu peninsular and show off our new Positivo Espresso team wear.
Actually that was the first time for a ride in the new 2009 kits so we wanted to make it a memorable one. The weather was OK when we arrived at Mishima station at about 8:30, assembled our bikes, made final adjustments to man and machine and tried to ride out from Mishima as fast as possible.
Somehow and with the help of James, his iphone and Google maps we arrived at route 414 along the West coast which is at least as boring as riding out through the suburbs of Tokyo. But once we were on road 17 the traffic became lighter and with a good tailwind we also made good speed. My god, I thought, we will be in Shimoda by noon.
But we had ambitious plans. So instead of continue to ride along the coast, what we have did so many time, we forked off to the left on route 127.
A long climb was waiting there for us. I had problems withe the rear derailleur despite that Nagai-San had adjusted everything only two days before. Dominic and James were gone and I creeped up the hill at 8 km/hr or so – it was really steep and I felt that I was in really bad shape. So we moved to 真城峠 and then further and unfortunately down and up again on to heda (戸田) Pass which was the start of a climb which brought us almost to 900 meter elevation.
And into the mist.
And finally to the famous Hayakaze Toge and even higher to Nishina Toge where we completely ran out of water after this very exhausting series of long and steep climbs.
We asked a peeing Japanese along the road if we can take the small road down to Matsuzaki and he said that it would be OK for cycles. There were some construction sites along the way and our bikes got really dirty, but we made it down and we could hear the sound of water and finally we stopped at a small stream to refill our throats and bottles. That felt good.
Along the way down we passed a group of construction workers that were sleeping on the asphalt next to their cars with a huge banner reading "作業中", literally "Man at work". Too late to make a photo now.
There was still a lot of debris on the road and it was also still wet from the rain of the previous day so we took a rather cautious approach down. Luckily there was a guy with a portable vacuum cleaner (or blower?) who started to clean up the mess so we can expect better road conditions any time soon. In which countries of the world to you meet a guy in the middle of a forest trying to clean with hoover?
Next stop at a family mart in Matsuzaki. This is a traditional stop in case you want to know why we stopped there. After 4 and a half hours of riding without major breaks we were also desperate for some food.
We then continued to ride towards Jaishi Toge, another traditional Positivo Espresso climb where Jerome always strips naked and we all take a nap on the bare asphalt.
Riding up to Jaishi Toge followed by the long descent in direction of the coast is one of the most beautiful stretches in Izu. Nice fast roads and some smaller hills which can be sprinted over. The last part to Shimoda was easy and I was feeling stronger with every minute.We then had a good meal at the Sunny Side Cafe and took the train back to Tokyo from Shimoda. A very nice training trip which provided me with the right amount of stamina for the Hitachi Naka Race. Thanks to James and Dominic for the good company.

Starting this week, the Grand Rapids Downtown Market's Incubator Kitchen is the newest referral organization for Varnum Law's MiSpringboard program. Food entrepreneurs working out of the commercial kitchen space will now be eligible to receive free legal assistance from Varnum as part of the program started in 2011. Varnum recently pledged an additional $1 million to the innovative entrepreneurs creating a vibrant startup community in Michigan.
MiSpringboard is Varnum's statewide initiative designed to remove some of the barriers associated with starting a business, by providing free legal services to Michigan startups. The program will assist growing businesses incubated by the Downtown Market with free legal consultation and services.
"The Incubator Kitchen has become the starting point for dozens of new food entrepreneurs and startup businesses in West Michigan," said Varnum attorney Jake Droppers, who co-chairs the firm's Food Law Group. "In partnership with the Downtown Market, we want to help those entrepreneurs remove barriers for growth and become thriving businesses and employers in our community."
Although services are tailored to fit individual client needs, typical legal services for MiSpringboard clients include company formation and operating agreements, employment agreements, vendor contracts, trademark work and licensing agreements. Clients referred by Downtown Market may also receive specialized services such as assistance with FDA labeling requirements. Ideal candidates for MiSpringboard are companies with a viable business plan, the potential to be engines of job growth in Michigan and a need for legal services.
Part of the Downtown Market's Education Foundation, the Incubator Kitchen is not only a licensed commercial kitchen, but also an inclusive space for food startups and entrepreneurs seeking resources, support, and technical assistance. There are more than 20 small food and beverage startups currently using the space, as well as students from Kent Intermediate School District's culinary program.
"Most startups have a great idea or talent, but may need some outside assistance to lay the groundwork for a successful business," said Mimi Fritz, president and CEO of the Downtown Market. "Varnum's strong legal resources are a perfect addition to the support we offer startups. They will be invaluable partners to the small businesses we're incubating here at the Market."
About the Grand Rapids Downtown Market
The Grand Rapids Downtown Market is the region's choice for fresh, delicious foods and amazing public market merchants. The Market is a $30 million, self-sustaining, LEED-certified, mixed-use facility that brings together production, distribution, marketing and education about local foods and growing.

About MiSpringboard
In 2011, Varnum committed $1 million in free legal services to Michigan startups through the MiSpringboard program. Over the past five years, the program has helped more than 250 emerging companies in over 75 communities across Michigan. In June 2016, Varnum renewed its commitment with a second $1 million pledge to the program. To be considered for MiSpringboard, clients are referred by partner organizations including business incubators, Smart Zones, angel investors, state agencies, universities and entrepreneur programs from around the state.

As I begin training yet another class of new hires for our company, I have been looking back at the teaching and "being- taught" experiences that I have had in this life. I have begun to ask myself, what does it mean to teach?
One could look at the acronym of T.E.A.C.H. and ascribe attributes that encapsulate noble and good teaching…Truth, Enlightenment, Acceptance, Caring, Hope.
I have been taught by magnificent teachers with very different styles as, I'm sure, have all of us. There was Dorothy Martin, in 8th grade, that made Shakespeare come alive and to this day imbued me with a passion for "The Bard". There was Eloise Haldeman, who recognized my musical gift, nurtured and mentored it, getting me into advanced music classes and experiences so that my gift could flower. As I went through high school and college I was touched deeply by so many teachers who, perhaps, had no idea of their impact. Margaret Hillis at Northwestern believed in me and taught me profound truths in music. There were voice teachers who nurtured, bullied, inspired. Vera Rozsa, one of the great voice teachers of the last part of the 20th century and first part of this century, in Europe, taught me profound vocal, musical and life truths during my London years, she will always be a part of who I am. I had conductors and coaches that just by the way they conducted or played the piano, taught me infinite wisdom in non-verbal ways. But I remember each and every one of these teachers and thank them many times each day for the lessons each taught me.
More recently I have been inspired and transformed while being taught yoga; learned new skills such as Flamenco dance; and have been taught other martial skills that I never dreamed I could aspire to…and yet, with the concentration, wisdom, experience and grace of my teachers, I've exceeded any expectation I'd ever had.
It seems, looking at my life, that I was born to be a Teacher. If you had told me that 30 years ago I would have balked. I was "an artist" a "performer" certainly teaching was done by "those who can't". Ah, how wrong I would have been!
Teaching is done by those who have indeed done it, absorbed it, distilled it and are graced with the gift to impart it.
As I filled in my musical performing income with voice teaching, I began to see, slowly and begrudgingly, that I was gifted in teaching. The gifts of empathy, patience, caring, and ingenuity were just that….gifts…that I only discovered as I taught. I saw voices change, careers change, lives change…because of the gift I was given… to teach.
I learned that one can only teach the Truth because anything less falls apart. I learned that Enlightenment was a mutual thing between student and teacher. It goes to that line from The King and I …"It's a very ancient saying, But a true and honest thought, That if you become a teacher, By your pupils you'll be taught" . I experienced that Acceptance of where the student was, was essential to moving the student forward. I also learned by teaching that Care meant that no one, neither human nor critter learns by being criticized but only by being cared for. Last, but certainly not least, through my own teaching and by being taught there sprang a "wellspring" of Hope. Whether hope for better singing, thus a better operatic career; hope for better expression in dance; hope for peace, increased health and inner journeying through yoga; hope for better self-defense; or…. as in my current position of Director of Training…hope from my new hires for a career that they will love and in which they will prosper.
In the second book, A Wind in the Door, of Madeleine L'Engle's Wrinkle in Time quintet, there are two characters that are TEACHERS ( others are Namers and Counters of Stars…things I would have wished I were…far more "romantic":) But these Teachers are Truthful, Enlightened, Accepting, Caring and when it looks like darkness will prevail and all hope will be lost…teach HOPE. Ultimately, it is Love that prevails…ultimately, that is the primary mover of the universe…Love. And the Teachers…including the greatest TEACHER to live on this planet…taught it.

Was it only a couple of weeks ago I was in Indiana with Loretta? Lots has happened since then, and I still haven't showed you all the fun we had. On Sunday afternoon we went to Ouabache State Park. Just say Wabash, like the river. It's near Bluffton.
They have a nice trail system, over 10 miles! We did about two miles.
We followed the eastern edge of the park and returned beside the small lake where a stream that flows into the river is dammed.
Loretta is still smiling even after I walked her about to her limit.
I liked this bare honey locust against the sky.
It's easy to tell the honey locust. It's the ones with the nasty thorns growing right from the trunk.
Really full work day coming up tomorrow.

The beautiful old Chateau des Cars, located at the center of the town. The first chateau was built in XIIIth century. At the end of the XIth century, Ramnulphe de Lastours, gives to the Abbey Saint-Martial of Limoges, villa de Quadris, 'village des Cars', located in the wooded part of the vast parish of Flavignac. The village appears already equipped with a Holy-Marie-Madeleine vault. The abbey quickly founds there a priory formally attested as of the first years of XIIth century.
About 1280, the pledged family of Flavignac in Lastours dies out. It is undoubtedly what supports the appearance and the development of the seigniory of Les Cars. This new stronghold, initially within the hands of the family of Barry, then of the family of P?russe as of the medium of XIVth century, appears to have formed with the beginning mainly of territories of the old parish of Flavignac (current communes of Flavignac and Les Cars). Gradually, the new lords go emanciper of Lastours (they will end themselves even up repurchasing the seigniory of Lastours (commune of Rilhac-Lastours). Quickly, also, Perusse, will take the name of Perusse des Cars, sometimes written Perusse d' Escars, starting from the Renaissance.
The castle, which is probably at the simple beginning only one house-strong, to a few hundred meters of the priory of Saint-Martial, will be gradually rebuilt to become a true residence. Geoffroy de Perusse of Les Cars (died in 1534), adviser-chamberlain of king de Navarre seems considerably to have improved and have enriched the monument at the time of the First Renaissance.
The site was then strengthened/fortified, at the time of the wars of religion. 1798: destruction and plundering of the castle. It belonged to the family De Barri, which was combined in the Perusse. Defence work, it was coveted during the One hundred Year old war. It fell in 1373 with the hands of the English who established a garrison there. The Duguesclin constable drove out some. The family of Perusse des Cars was one of more famous of the kingdom. One counts among its members the Marshals of France, the secretaries of State, of the bishops. Charles IX set up their field in county.
The second castle was built at the end of XVth and at the beginning of XVIth century. A description from 1793 the known as one composed of five large houses and surrounded a terrace on which four opened carriage entrances. It was improved in 1778 and was equipped with immense gardens known as the most beautiful in all the province. It was destroyed with the Revolution. They do not remain today, all that does remain are two big towers partly demolished, of the cellars some sides of walls and the partly filled ditches. Two other small towers which flanked the entry were updated by the recent excavations. In the town, outside of the site, one can notice two constructions with decorated attic window pinnacles (of XVIth), stables and infirmary, which belonged to the chateau. These buildings are registered with the Inventory historic buildings (I.S.M.H.) since December 21, 1982.

Additionally, persuading the development of an India on the backdrop of the youth, Prime Minister Modi urged the formation of a 'New India'.
"January 1 2018 will not be an ordinary day; those born in this century will start turning 18, the 'Bhagya Vidhatas' of our country. Everybody is equal in our nation; no one is big or small. Together we can bring a positive change in the nation," he said.
On that note, an exercise of same kind was executed yesterday to mark Pakistan's Independence Day.

Prophecy is a vital ministry in the body of Christ. Every believer can prophesy and some do, but many struggle to discern the voice of the Lord. Many others do not understand simple protocols for prophetic ministry because they have not been rightly trained, despite the Ephesians 4:11 mandate for five-fold prophets to equip the saints for the work of the ministry.
In my Issachar Institute's School of the Prophets earlier this month, we discussed prophetic protocols and guidelines. I shared with you in the past 10 important prophetic ministry protocols, and many rogue prophets went into attack mode, suggesting protocols are not in the Bible. I would urge any of those who take that stance to read 1 Corinthians 14, where you'll discover Paul setting order in a church where the gifts were flowing freely, but maturity was sometimes lacking.
God is not a God of confusion but of peace (1 Cor. 14:33). Prophetic operations without protocol can often generate confusion, chaos and even damage people's faith. Prophets are oracles and mouthpieces for God, yet some of what comes out of people's mouths in His name can be self-willed, self-promotional witchcraft. We must be willing to submit our prophetic ministry to elders for accountability, especially when the word may cause shock or stir people in the body.
Here are five more prophetic protocols to consider:
Get Spirit-filled content delivered right to your inbox! Click here to subscribe to our newsletter.
1. In personal prophecy situations, abide by the 1 Corinthians 4:3 mandate to edify, comfort and exhort, especially in itinerant ministry. Although there are times when the Lord will have a prophet speak forth a word of warning or even correction publicly, this is not the norm—especially without relationship. The Lord is not trying to embarrass anyone publicly, and they are not likely to receive the word if they are embarrassed, even if it is valid. Discretion is key when offering correction in the name of prophecy. Exhortation is different than correction but can feel like correction to someone who is insecure.
2. Use wisdom in releasing prophetic words. Just because the Lord shows you something does not mean you are supposed to release it. The Holy Spirit who spoke to you is the same Holy Spirit who will give you an unction to release the prophecy. Hearing does not equal unction. An unction is a bubbling-up in your spirit—not a bubbling-up in your soul. Maturing in the prophetic means differentiating where the bubbling-up is coming from.
3. Deliver prophetic words with diplomacy. How you deliver a word can make a difference in whether or not someone receives it. If you have to deliver a corrective word, for example, it should be after much prayer and even grieving or weeping. Your tone should reflect the heart of God, which is love. Delivering words of warning must also be done with diplomacy to avoid perceptions of judgment on a person as if, for example, they are in some way to blame.
4. Don't feel pressure to prophesy. Taking on pressure to prophesy because people expect you to have a word can lead you into compromise or error. If the Lord is not speaking, you don't have anything to say. If you strain and stress, you could tap into a familiar spirit or divination.
5. Don't try to force someone to agree with your prophetic word. If they don't bear witness to it, don't insist that God said it. Just ask them to pray about it. Do not argue (2 Tim. 2:4). They could reject a perfectly good word if you argue, whereas if you stay humble, they may remain open to the Holy Spirit confirming it to them at a later time. Your job is done when you deliver the word, other than praying as the Holy Spirit leads. You are not charged with convincing them.
There's much more. I shared 34 guidelines with my students. I'll stop here for now and let you absorb these. I pray you will commit yourself to prophetic accuracy and accountability. The Lord is igniting the prophets, prophetic voices and intercessors in this season.
Charisma House has raced to publish a teaching book based on this prophetic word so you can apply biblical principles in cooperation with the angels of abundant harvest. Visit angelsprophecy.com to learn more and read what James Goll and others have to say about this teaching.
