Inspiring Kamloops Choral Workshop Intensive!
What an inspiring choral workshop we had under the capable direction of Greg Quan on Saturday, October 29th. After having had some time to reflect on that day, I am not sure whether to express my appreciation more for the choral techniques I learned with ideas for better breathing and tone quality, conducting cutoffs, having "sparkly eyes" and enthusiastically joining our voices together in the musical selections, OR the life skills of centering, thinking of what brings me joy and focusing on building connections.
Greg's skill in directing and drawing us together as a cohesive group was greatly appreciated. At the end of the day, the Kamloops and Cariboo songsters who attended left with an infusion of energy and inspiration.
Tim Dundas, one of the Choral Intensive! participants, wrote this note on the Kamloops Happy Choristers' Facebook page:
Many of us attended the choral workshop hosted by the Kamloops Choristers last Saturday at the Kamloops United Church. The clinician, Greg Quan, who teaches at Magee School in Vancouver, presented many new insights and tips for enhancing not only music appreciation and vocal performance but also the spiritual and psychological experience from singing together. The almost full house was highly appreciative of the whole experience which included delightful refreshments prepared by our hosts. The sound of the group was amazing when we went through the four pieces, the most memorable of which for me was the Benjamin Britten piece "This Little Babe" from his Ceremony of Carols. A hearty "well-done" and thanks to all involved in putting on this event.

Something for the golfers....
You may know that there is a major change to the golf handicapping system due to be implemented in 2020. The aim is to have a single worldwide system (probably with a number of specific possible variants that different regions of the world can adopt).
As yet, the full technical details associated with the new system are not available. Also, there is no published launch date for it. However I have recently seen a suggestion that it might not go live until autumn 2020.
I guess we will just have to wait and see.

2019: Abia State is for Buhari, he will win again — APC chieftain, Adiaso
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Prince Chamberlain Adiaso, has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari will run and win the 2019 presidential election.
Prince Adiaso, who revealed this during a press conference he addressed in Abuja, said Abia State was for Buhari.
He said Nigerians from all walks of life would hold a rally on March 8, 2018 in London to tell the whole world that Buhari was well-loved and admired by Nigerians.
He said: "Let me say it clearly and loudly that President Buhari will, by the Grace of God, remain the occupant of the Presidential Villa. By the Grace of Almighty God, he will contest and he will win resoundingly. God, the giver of life has made him well. He is fit as a fiddle and he radiates life.
"Mere looking at President Buhari, one would think that he has just collected his call-up letter and he is about to go for his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He is full of vigor and vitality. The people of Nigeria are behind him and they have seen in him the transparent, competent and trustworthy leader they crave for."
"Let me reiterate it that Abia State is for Buhari. Abians believe in him and are already working for him. He will win hands down in Abia State. Our political leaders, especially Chief Orji Uzor Kalu and many others are at work and the result is now visible to the blind, audible to the deaf and, perhaps, tangible to the paralytic," Adiaso said.

(NOTE: The following article was written by my husband, Ken Watson, and I think it is awesome, so I wanted to share it!)
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. I Peter 2:13-17
Some time ago, a brother who is well-known to most of us in our fellowship posted an article urging and encouraging us to treat our political leaders with respect in public forums. This was in response to some members of our church who were using social media to openly criticize political leaders they don't like and engage in arguments with those whom they disagree.
I want you to carefully consider: Is there any possible good for the cause of Christ that can be accomplished by giving vent to your displeasure with those that serve in government on public internet forums? I am also talking about public commentary on various trials and matters of justice in the news – which most people know absolutely nothing about except for the hearsay reported in news media articles.
I used to read those articles on Huffington Post, on Fox, CNN and MSNBC. And then I would read the comments of all the people responding to these articles and responding to each other. They aren't even listening to each other and having a real dialogue. They are trading insults and cursing each other in the vilest ways. If there is a reasonable voice in those discussions it is usually drowned out. And I realized that (in addition being a corrupting influence on my own heart) it was a monumental waste of time.
As Christians are we not to be different than all that? I was reminded of this passage in Titus 3:3-5 — "At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy."
Participation in these political controversies just makes us more ungodly. Even as observers. 2 Timothy 2 Paul says,"Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly."
I love my country. I grew up here and it's all I know. I know its good parts and its bad parts. I value the sacrifice of those to try and have a form of government that is representative of the people…but – like Peter said in his letter – what good am I doing to silence the ignorant talk of foolish people? Or am I just becoming one of them? Also in 2 Timothy 2:22-24, "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful."
Now, the context of this is dealing with opponents of Christ, not opponents of whatever political sphere you identify with. But are these not character traits that apply across the board in our dealings with all people?
If your highest allegiance is to a political system or a leader set up by people then you are on the losing side. Do you realize that? Are you a student of history? All societies and nations come and they go. And this one will be no different. There is only one eternal King.
One of the greatest kingdoms of the world was ancient Babylon. The prophet Daniel saw its greatest glory and its downfall. The city of Babylon itself had massive walls, considered impregnable. Do you remember – in the book of Daniel – when Belshazzar is partying with all his officials in the King's Palace (using objects taken from the temple in Jerusalem as their dinnerware, incidentally)? They are thinking: "We're safe, there's no one getting in here! No one has ever been able to."
But God said it's time for a change. Then the writing on the wall, "You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting." There was a river that ran through Babylon. The Persians under Cyrus diverted the river and then walked on the riverbed right under the walls and into that city and took over.
And through all the regime changes Daniel just lived as a faithful follower of God, faithfully preaching God's Word. Sometimes he was hated for it, sometimes he was loved for it, sometimes he was in trouble for it. He was always respected for it. And he was a government employee!
The purpose of a disciple of Jesus is to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of God, which Jesus very clearly said is not of this world. That is the Kingdom that lasts forever. That is the Kingdom of which we are supposed to be calling people to become a part, by giving up their allegiance to this world with its desires that are passing away, and instead submitting to the true and eternal King.
We are free to have our opinions. But when you argue politics and talk very publicly about who you dislike and all the bad things they do, you alienate all the people who have an opposing opinion, people to whom you are supposed to be offering some hope.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Romans 13:1-7
You realize of course who the kings were in the times that Paul and Peter were writing these commands? Roman Emperors like Nero, Domitian. What we know about these men is that many of them were venal, murderous, cruel, vicious megalomaniacs who constantly killed people they suspected of being a threat to their regime. Until some plot finally succeeded in doing them in. And they were right to be suspicious because usually somebody was trying to do them in. The Roman transfer of power was often dog-eat-dog, kill-or-be-killed kind of government succession. They certainly had no qualms about killing Christians or anybody else that they considered to be in their way.
Ultimately we need to leave to God to be concerned with who runs these earthly Kingdoms according to His will and His purpose. Part of our duty as citizens of the eternal kingdom is to be the best citizens we can possibly be of whatever earthly kingdom we're a part of – paying our taxes, obeying the laws – and yes – showing respect – unless or until we are told to disobey our God – which we cannot do.
But rarely (if ever) have we been called by the US government to oppose God, though we acknowledge and respect our brothers and sisters who do not live under such privilege in some places. Peter says: "If you are eager to do good who is going to harm you?" Hopefully everyone will see that as true disciples of Jesus what harm would we bring to anyone?
This is also a big matter of unity within the church. Paul says this is a matter of conscience. Don't defile yours by simply ignoring the scriptures. By your words, are you promoting unity or are you destroying it? I've heard some people say: "Well if everybody just sits back and lets everything happen – like you are seeming to propose – we will all be living under tyranny in no time." Listen: everything is going to happen the way God directs it whether you trust Him or not. You can't really control it.
We have the right to vote in this country…so vote. But if you signed up to be a disciple of Jesus, your job and my job is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. That is the only answer to making the world a better place. There is none other. There is no political leader that will ever offer a better answer than Jesus Christ.
But short of that, let me encourage you to use God's Word to shape your opinions and your attitudes about those whom God has chosen to govern us. Let me encourage you to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. To Him be glory and honor and power for ever and ever, Amen.
For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Hebrews 13:14

I've had lots of Buffalo Chicken Dip at parties and most were just meh. I've added some additional ingredients to kick up the flavors, and although it isn't burn your tongue off, it is nice and spicy (I'd say Medium). This is perfect not just for parties, but as an Appetizer, Game Day Snack, Back Yard BBQ, Movie Night or Game Night at home, etc. If you're serving a crowd, better at least double it. Try a plate of French Fries with this dip poured in the center. VERY GOOD!
2 ½ cups leftover shredded Chicken (Rotisserie works great)
1 TBSP Butter
1/3 cup Celery, diced fine
3 cloves Garlic, minced
¼ cup sweet Onion, diced
¾ cup Frank's Hot Sauce
¼ cup Water *
Black Pepper (A few dashes)
5 TBSP Cream Cheese, cut in chunks
5 TBSP Sour Cream or Prepared Ranch Dressing
1 tsp Parsley
¾ cup Shredded Cheddar or Colby Monterey Jack Cheese
1/3 +/- cup Blue Cheese, crumbled
Extra Parsley to garnish. Thinly sliced Green Onions are very nice also.
* The water keeps the dip from becoming too thick as it cools. Most of the water simmers out while you're cooking. I find that it will become thick enough to break your crackers without the water.
In an oven-proof skillet, melt the Butter. Add Celery, Garlic, and Onion. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add the Hot Sauce, Water, Pepper, and Chicken. Cook until it begins to simmer. Stir, and add the Cream Cheese, and 1 tsp Parsley. Keep stirring, because the Cream Cheese is going to melt. Once it is melted, remove from heat and add Sour Cream. Stir until blended.
Sprinkle the Shredded Cheddar on top. Pop pan under a preheated broiler for just enough time for the cheese to melt. It will only take a few minutes. (Is your mouth watering yet?)
Sprinkle about 1/3 cup Crumbly Blue Cheese on top. You can add extra Parsley now if you wish, but not necessary and it has plenty of color. The Blue Cheese is going to become soft and blend with the top layer of Dip. It might be a little tacky, but I like to serve it right in my little cast iron pan (As long as children aren't eating it. Cast iron stays hot for a long time. That's why I like to serve the Dip this way. It helps retain the heat of the Dip).
Serve with Vegetable Sticks, Assorted Crackers, Toasted Pita Chips, Melba Toast or serve over French Fries!

HONOLULU (AP) - Honolulu must contribute more money to help construct the city's rail line before getting any of the $744 million in federal funding that has been withheld from the project.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that a Federal Transit Administration spokeswoman said Tuesday the agency is insisting the city provide more money.
Honolulu must commit $25 million in city funds toward rail construction in the fiscal year that begins July 1. The city must also commit $92 million more in the next seven years before the federal government will resume funding the project.
The cost of the rail project has skyrocketed from about $5.2 billion to about $9.2 billion, forcing city officials to seek bailouts from the Hawaii Legislature in 2015 and 2017 that totaled billions of dollars.

When The Doctor Works For The Insurance Company
In searching for ways to curb costs and improve care, some insurance companies are taking a page out of their own history books - running their own doctors' offices and clinics. This approach had mixed results the first time around, but insurance companies are now hoping more emphasis on primary care will be good for their patients and also their bottom line. Here's Tracey Samuelson from NPR's Planet Money team.
TRACEY SAMUELSON, BYLINE: Dr. Michael Byrne spent eight years working in a Brooklyn hospital. And he saw firsthand why the United States spends more on healthcare than pretty much any other country in the world.
DR. MICHAEL BYRNE: I would regularly see patients who were admitted to the hospital, I took care of, got better, and then we'd discharge them with a plan of care. And they would come back either to the ER sick or to the floor. It's a common occurrence.
SAMUELSON: Maybe they wouldn't fill their prescriptions or take their medications. They'd miss appointments for follow-up tests or doctors' visits.
BYRNE: And if you look at re-admission rates in Brooklyn, they're 25 percent. So 25 percent of patients that we discharge are back in the hospital within a month.
SAMUELSON: This was obviously a problem for his patients, because they were sick and not getting any better, but it was also problem for insurance companies because hospital stays are really expensive. But a company called CareMore has figured out a way to cut readmission rates for its Medicare patients to about half the national average.
They've been doing it out west since the 1990s. Last summer, they were acquired by WellPoint, one of the largest health insurance companies in the country, and so now they're going national - adding 13 new clinics to their existing 30 by the end of the year.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I want to welcome you to our CareMore Center, our grand opening here today.
SAMUELSON: One of those news clinics is tucked in a strip-mall in Brooklyn. If you're on Medicare, and choose to have a WellPoint affiliate administer your benefits, you can use this center for free. You still see your regular primary care doctor, but a lot of routine medical procedures can be done here cheaper.
Plus extras, like they'll come to your house and install a scale that automatically sends your weight to the clinic. They'll design a workout for you that you can do in the clinic gym. They'll even cut your toenails to avoid foot infections.
Brooklyn Dr. Michael Byrne left his old job at the hospital and now works in this clinic. He says one advantage is being able to follow patients to the hospital or a nursing home if they need care there. Plus...
BYRNE: I'm going to have more time per patient. I can spend, you know, 45 minutes with a patient versus 15.
SAMUELSON: WellPoint is far from alone in thinking more emphasis on primary care might save them money on costly diseases in the long run. Chris Rigg is analyst who covers the healthcare industry for Susquehanna Financial Group.
CHRIS RIGG: In recent years, you know, it's been across the board. You know, certainly all of, you know, the large publicly traded insurers, so Aetna, Cigna, Humana, United, and WellPoint, they're all pursuing slightly different, but generally similar strategies.
SAMUELSON: And this is largely due to new cost pressures on insurance companies coming out of healthcare reform or the Affordable Care Act.
RIGG: We've seen an acceleration in the last two to three years of what's generally described as vertical integration, where the managed care guys are either buying doctor groups, primary care clinics, or some relationship.
SAMUELSON: It's basically the original idea behind the HMO. Anthony Schlaff, a professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University, says it can work, that Kaiser Permanente, for example, has been doing this for decades and is generally well regarded with its customers. But many other insurers abandoned this model.
ANTHONY SCHLAFF: Where it doesn't work is when there aren't protections against skimping on care. If the insurer and the provider are one and the same organization, then how does the public have the assurance that the company isn't staying in business by collecting money and then not giving the care it should be giving.
SAMUELSON: HMOs became unpopular in the '90s because people thought they tried to cut costs by limiting care. CareMore patient David Benavides says his diabetes is much better controlled since he signed up for the plan about five years ago. He visits the clinic often for check-ups and blood work.
DAVID BENAVIDES: Actually, I go like once a month. I feel better and better, like I got the power to do what I want to do.
SAMUELSON: Which is mostly fixing up old cars in a shop behind his house. He says being healthy has been like being upgraded from a six-cylinder engine to a V8. And for CareMore, keeping him in his shop and out of the hospital, that's just good business. Tracey Samuelson, NPR News.

j'ever see this charity? "Poets In Need is a non-profit organization providing emergency assistance to poets who have an established presence in the literary community as innovators in the field and a substantive body of published work." so they must have a reader on staff who determines the innovation and established presence of anyone hoping for some help. bad poets need not apply, SoQ need not apply, non networking hermits need not apply. publish or die perhaps has a stronger meaning here. it seems like an effort to keep the best part of the gene pool going: the excellent poets. any charity one might do is selective, I understand that. I quibble with the aesthetic necessity here. sorry we can't help you with your cancer treatment but you're a trite poet.. file under That'll Learn Ya.

Erin came home this afternoon. he's still sick, but can take antibiotics by mouth rather than intravenously. I realize this autobiographicality may be the worst of blogs but there's not much possibility in writing about anything else. my reading the past 9 days has been Down Spooky by Shanna Compton, and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I've indicated here earlier that I'm down with Spooky. Stephenson's pretty good. it was recommended by Erin's friend and his friend's father, and they gave me a copy. I like it better than what I've read by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson (maybe 3 novels between them). Stephenson's characters have a warmth that I find lacking in the other 2, and a bouncier humour. I'd love to get back into reading novels. where novels fail for me is to the degree they simplify life into structured resolutions. I definitely don't want to watch any sitcoms, thanks. King of Queens is, I confess, oddly likeable, but I've had enough. that Ray Romano show is thoroughly unlikeable, but sometimes succeeds despite. Bill Cosby is fascinating in its good-for-you ickiness, but I believe his success made Tom Werner rich enough to place the Red Sox securely into the category of fat cats and World Series winners. Steve Hervey show is mild, comely crap. I like watching the secondary characters (played by tertiary actors) fuss about in the poorly conceived "bits" they are imprisoned by. I did a little writing, sitting near a window overlooking the Concord River.

additional showing
more showing
we learned yesterday that the doctors were more concerned about Erin than we knew. when his pediatrician 1st saw him, he said he was about to just write the antibiotic prescription, but something told him to look further, thus the x-ray. they have since tested Erin for things like Legionnaire's Disease. that Beth and I haven't shown symptoms suggests something airborne, not the usual pneumonia. his fever has finally abated, and his oxygen saturation levels (Erin has been on oxygen) are getting good. but he still faces more hospital time. rough row to hie. sunday his iv needed to be changed. for whatever reason, people have trouble locating Erin's vein. the nurse called the staff emt, because emts do the procedure all the time. man, were I ever to use the term lickety-split it would be to describe how quickly the iv was set. we watched another Jackie Chan movie, The Medallion. which is JC plus a cross between The Matrix and those world without physics martial arts movies now somewhat common. we watched a little of Kill Bill. I saw just the last part of vol 1 and the beginning of vol 2. Beth saw what I saw of vol 1 and all of vol 2. Erin fell asleep during vol 2. straight out of manga/anime land. I found the swordplay wearisome, and the cartoon hipness more precious than anything. I'm not convinced by the cool, and I think if you're to enjoy Tarentino, you need to accept that coolness. I'm glad I don't watch much tv anymore. I've always tried to pay attention, look underneath a bit, but you are still drawn into something numbing. when Erin's leg was broken, the bill of fare tended toward the Disney Channel, with heavy hitters like Hilary Duff and I don't remember what. you slip into a television rhythm, and then the day is done. I've written little lately.

Erin still at hospital. he was much improved yesterday morning, but then dipped. I've already mentioned that the on call pediatrician claimed to have seen Erin after he'd had the lung sample done. Erin, Beth and the nurse who helped transport never saw this doctor. possibly she was confusing having seen him in the morning, long before the procedure. a 2nd pediatrician talked to us about it, repeating the 1st doctor's claim, clearly more ready to believe her colleague than the three people who were there. the hierarchy must live. one saw/sees that with the Catholic Church. all those molested children and the greater issue for the church is maintaining the structure of the church. it's a cover your ass strategy, which is pretty fetid. and it's not like we begrudge the triage that goes on. the 1st doctor either lied about seeing Erin or was confused. the 2nd doctor chose not to listen to us. it's pretty dismaying. we just want to bring Erin home.

Guinness the terrier missing after burglary at owner's home in Smallworth
PUBLISHED: 10:42 20 November 2017 | UPDATED: 16:31 20 November 2017
Aaron Pegues
A much-loved pet has gone missing after a burglary at her owner's home.
Guinness the West Highland terrier has not been seen since the door of Aaron Pegues's house at Smallworth, between Thetford and Diss, was forced at the beginning of the month.
Nothing else was stolen during the break-in, which happened between 11pm and midnight on Monday, November 6.
Mr Pegues, who has owned seven-year-old Guinness for five years, said: "She's very friendly, very outgoing. I'm not 100pc sure whether they've stolen her or she's got out. They kicked the door in and left it open after they left."
Det Sgt Mark Glister said, "The offence of burglary of your home is a horrible crime for any victim to experience. But as in this case, where the victim has had their much loved pet taken, makes that impact so much more shocking and deplorable."
Today it emerged a West Highland was spotted muddy and 'looking sorry for itself' in Norwich, near Dolphin Bridge in the Mile Cross area. A friend of Mr Pegues said: "We don't know for sure if it was Guinness or not. I have posted flyers around the area and called local vets and dog rescues. It was all in case she was taken and was dumped. We just don't know so I'm trying to cover all bases."
Anyone with information should call Thetford CID on 101.

Hello there everyone, is there anyways I can change the login screen background apart from the dashboard? I tried adding a CSS style for the body tag and it changed the background in the dashboard too.
Allen A.
Hello there everyone, is there anyways I can change the login screen background apart from the dashboard? I tried adding a CSS style for the body tag and it changed the background in the dashboard too.
Allen A.
Hello Allen Ampueda...
I'm not completely sure this answers your question, but in the most recent Production Release Notes, there was a section on customizing the login screen. However, this assumes that your instance of Canvas has the new UI/UX enabled. Please check out this link: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-4645#jive_content_id_Theme_Editor Does this help answer your question?
It would help if we had the older version. Most of the guides that are provided are very outdated. I don't get a menu to customize the login screen itself. Right now the only thing I wish I could do is change the white background on the login screen without altering the background on the next page after you login. Thanks for your reply.
Best Regards,
Allen A.
You should be able to manipulate the following class to change the login background without it affecting the background once logged in (assuming you have the new UI turned on):
I added the class but still I am not able to get the background changed. I attached a screenshot showing what I did.
I added the following piece of code:
body.ic-Login-Body {
background-image: url("https://mycampus.astate.edu/image/image_gallery?img_id=2885738&t=1442521573237");
background: #000000;
am I doing anything wrong?
Apologies for the delay in responding. Looks like Mark has been helping you out.
Most of the guides that are provided are very outdated.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. If you are using the new UI and referring back to the Guides on how to do things, those Guides haven't all been updated to show screen shots of the new UI. Not all Canvas schools are using the new UI yet. So, that's why you'll typically see wording similar to this at the top of Canvas Guide pages:
Canvas recently introduced a new page design called the New Canvas User Interface (UI). Depending on your Canvas view, your page design may vary from the images shown in this lesson. However, the functionality and location of the components remain the same.
Also, on each Guide page, you can click on the version number at the top right corner of the Guide to see what changes have been made and when (you can even compare two versions side-by-side).
Hope this helps.
It looks like my UI was fixed during my absence this past weekend, I now see the option to customize the login screen. Thank you everyone for taking the time to help me thru this.
Part of that was my fault. From my screenshot, I forgot to mention that I was working in beta and that it would be available to you once they pushed out the production release over the weekend. So now you should be able to do the same in your production environment.

UCF's Phi Delta Theta fraternity made history by winning this year's intramural sports Greek Cup Championship, by expanding the longest active winning streak in the Greek Cup era to six years.
Alpha Delta Pi also won the Greek Cup this year in the Greek sorority league. Both Phi Delt and Alpha Delta Pi are now in first place for the total number of Greek Cup championships they have won, both with six.
"We are extremely proud of the teamwork, perseverance, and dedication that all of our athletes displayed over the past year and are very excited about our sixth consecutive Greek Cup win," said Jacob Milich, President of Phi Delta Theta.
Scoring a total of 1,779 points, Phi Delt beat out Zeta Beta Tau, its closest competitor, who earned a total of 1,687 points.
Alpha Delta Pi, who scored 690 total points, won by a wide margin. Kappa Alpha Theta came in second scoring 383 points.
Phi Delt members have taken to twitter to celebrate the victory by posting a graphic with Michael Jordan wearing six rings.

Coming To Grips With Life.
Contributed by Gerald Van Horn on Aug 11, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: We canot escape the fact that Bible is very clear about the end times.
Coming To Grips With Life
Text. I Peter 4:7 "But the end of all things is at hand, be ye, therefore, sober, and watch unto prayer."
We cannot escape the fact that the Bible is very clear about the end times. In the light of present situations in our world today I Peter 4:7 is brought to mind. Can all things continue as they are? Peter tells us know how we are to act in such a crises times. We all need encouragement. Peter certainly is referring to the end of the age, the Second Advent, to the coming of Christ. We too must be live with this in view in our minds. The end could happen at any moment. If this is so then how shall we live?
Peter gives us useful guidelines:
1. We should live sober. 7a
The Greek word for sober is "sophroneo." It has the meaning of having a sound mind. (Strong's Dictioary of New testament words, #4993, page 70) What an admonition to all Christians! There can be no room for "strinkin' thinking." It is always in order to pause before we speak, think things through with a sound mind. There can be no room for harsh decisions. Level headedness is what is needed. "let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus."
2. We must have a sincere prayer life. 7b
There is no time to play church. Peter uses the words "to watch in prayer." There are things that God will not do until sincere prayer is offered. God will bless and answer is we watch unto prayer.
* A humorous incident comes to mind of a women when asked why she was praying with her eyes open. She replied, " I am watching and praying."
We have a choice of praying alone for with others.
3. We should love one another. v.8
We are to fervently love each other. This is more than just lip service. We should experience love among other believers. We are told in Revelation 2:4 to return to our first love. That is the love that Christ has for us. That kind of love will motivate us to love others. Even sinners.
4. We should be fellowshipping with believers. v.9
"Use hospitality one to another without grudging." Fellowship with one another is necessary and very profitable. It is a matter of the heart. We should encourage each other and express our love for each other.
5. We should be working for the Lord. v. 10
It is no time to be a slacker. We are to exercise our gifts and talents for the Lord. The Holy Spirit has bestowed gifts in each of us and we are to use them. If do not we are disobedient to the Lord. A great blessing awaits those who use these gifts. It's time to get busy.
6. We should be ready to give an answer for the Hope that is in us. v.11 a.
We are to glorify God with our words. Speaking as oracles of God. This will bring glory and honor to the Lord.
7. We should glorify God in all we do. v.11 b.
If we seek the Lord with all our heart and let Him move us with compassion for others. A burden for lost sinner will grip our souls and we will see many brought to righteousness.
We are not to think it strang when fiery trials happen for they speak loudly that the end time is near.

Review: The Bombs That Brought Us Together
The Bombs That Brought Us Together
Rating: 3/5
Buy or Borrow: Borrow
Source: Copy courtesy of the publisher, Bloomsbury!
Fourteen-year-old Charlie Law has lived in Little Town, on the border with Old Country, all his life. He knows the rules: no going out after dark; no drinking; no litter; no fighting. You don't want to get on the wrong side of the people who run Little Town. When he meets Pavel Duda, a refugee from Old Country, the rules start to get broken. Then the bombs come, and the soldiers from Old Country, and Little Town changes for ever.
Sometimes, to keep the people you love safe, you have to do bad things. As Little Town's rules crumble, Charlie is sucked into a dangerous game. There's a gun, and a bad man, and his closest friend, and his dearest enemy.
Charlie Law wants to keep everyone happy, even if it kills him. And maybe it will ... But he's got to kill someone else first.
Maybe it's because I read this right after Flamecaster (a completely amazing fantasy!) or maybe I just wasn't in the mood but I didn't enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. The books not bad, not at all, it's haunting in it's closeness to real life/events. There's a brilliantly tense opening to it, that throws you straight in to the world of the book and what things are like for them. I loved the friendship between Charlie and Pavel and Charlie's determination to befriend him and help him settle in to his new life. Pavel has a horribly realistic awful time and is treated horrendously by the people of the Town, and when the invasion happens, the tables are turned. I felt like it was a very realistic look at what it's like to be occupied by an enemy force.
So the book wasn't bad and I did enjoy parts of it, like I loved the ending! But for the most part I found my attention wandering, the book grabbed me every now and then but it wasn't one that I loved completely and got lost in. It just wasn't the book for me, for whatever reason, which is a shame because I was excited to read it and loved the sound of it!

Background to Christmas Carols
I recently gave my "Ding Dong Merrily on High" talk, on the stories behind Christmas carols, to members of the Community History Network in Leicester.
This talk, a very popular one, looks at virtually all the very popular carols, like "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "In the Bleak Midwinter".
Some were written by famous poets, some by famous composers, some refer to particular aspects of the Christian story, and some written under unusual circumstances.
Famous people involved include Mrs Alexander, George Frederick Handel, Gustav Holst, Felix Mendelssohn, Christina Rossetti, Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The Community History Network is for people in the Leicester area who are interested in local history. Meetings take place every two months at the New Walk Centre, with a talk. There is no charge, except for the Christmas meeting, when there is a modest charge to cover refreshments.
Angela Cutting or Joyce Mills will be pleased to hear from anybody wishing to come to future meetings.

Often one of the issues that is presented to Adelaide Night and Day Family Therapy is couples fighting. The fighting takes many forms, and is often destructive of the relationship in one way or another. Sometimes what people say can be a deal breaker and some people find it hard to let go of these deal breakers.
I have written this in a way that there are 5 things to do and 5 things not to do. It might be worth putting the list on the fridge – but a rule I didn't put in – dont point out where your partner is not following the rules. Use the "I" statements or "reschedule" rules.
1. Fight
- The first rule is always fight. Partners have differing opinions and its worth while working out the difficulties that this may cause. This is about connecting or communicating. But remember to follow these rules and any others you can find to be respectful in the way you fight.
2. Use "I" statements
- "I feel" not "you did this"
- "I feel unheard" not "I feel you are not sticking to the rules.."
- "I would like" not "you never ….."
- Feelings happen in your body and not your head. Feeling statements cant be argued with. I feel scared. I feel sad. no one can say "no you don't". But if you say I think you… or I feel you (this is thought not feeling and its a "you" not "I" statement) these can be argued with because it is about someone else not about you
3. Be respectful
- You are fighting because this person is important to you. Respect is a hard thing to gain and a very easy thing to lose. An easy way of losing respect of another is treating them with disrespect.
4. Listen rather than tell
- This is probably the hardest. But being curious about where your partner is at, and what it is they want, and what it is they are offering you in the fight could be the solution to the problem.
5. Schedule/reschedule
- Never force a fight. If there is an issue that you feel needs to be solved. Request a time. If you or your partner is becoming overwhelmed – try to find another time mutually agreed upon to finish the fight. You may keep rescheduling, and that's OK. Sometimes it takes a while to be ready. But be respectful with each other enough to reschedule, and try to have the discussion that needs to happen.
6. No physical violence
- No hitting – this often should go without saying, but as our primitive responses come into play while we feel angry some people find that the anger is a good reason to act like a child and start hitting. Hitting is a deal breaker, hitting can be illegal, hitting rarely advances the argument, or dispels the fear that is causing the anger.
- No holding – sometimes when we feel unlistened to, or when our partner might walk off, we want to 'make them' listen by blocking the way or holding them albeit gently in place. You cannot make someone listen – you might be able to make them receive a sound – but they may not hear
- No throwing – sometimes when we feel angry – we just want to throw something to show how angry we are or to get the anger out. Ok you want to get the anger out – go outside and find the punching bag and hit it out of earshot of your partner and kids- or put the coffee or tea set on a tray and go and smash it into the bin one by one – again out of sight and earshot of your partner. Make sure that its your property that you are destroying not theirs or ours.
7. No Multiple issues
- Deal with one thing at a time
- Define your issue and stick to it
- Fix it then schedule the next issue
- It is rare for us to fix the world in an hour
8. No Blaming
- When we attribute blame, we are saying that the cause of whatever is going on is the fault of the other. This is in reality rarely the case, or if you really think it is, or have pages or proof and a legion of witnesses, your partner may not. This may be why you are fighting. Blaming therefore is unlikely to get the result you want. Even if your partner admits to something – don't revel in the victory – revel in the reconciliation that may come about
9. No Past Issues
- "You've done this again" – "this is your pattern", "you always do this", or even more so "I remember when you…." The past is the past, the present is the present – try not to bring up examples from the past – stick to current examples of what you are talking about.
10. No other people in the fight
- Triangulation is a beautiful thing. "Your mother agrees with me – she says you..". Ganging up can have far more consequences than we think at the time.
- Mentioning an indiscretion or fault to someone else may lose the support of that person for your family or partner forever. You may need to chat to a confidant or your friends about what your partner does, but leave it there, leave it confidential. And if your partner changes – or if you were not entirely looking at it from the most charitable view, let people know of your mistake or the changes that came about. Your friends and family may not want to socialise with someone who hurt their friend.
- "The therapist said you did this." First of all, in my experience the therapist rarely said what is used as a weapon. If they did it is more often used out of context than on. And they never said anything that could or was meant to be used as ammunition against another. Be an adult don't bring the therapist into the fight.
- When some people feel ganged up upon they may have a fight or flight reaction- they retreat from the fight into their cave or they come out fighting, not only with you, but with the others. This is not going to work for you.
- Relationships are rarely exactly equal. If you feel in danger, or need actual support to deal with the issue – ensure that your partner is not just being ganged up on, and try to encourage their agreement in having the third person there. If you feel in danger, it is best not to enter into a fight, find a way to safety. Here the police may be necessary.
- "You are not sticking to the "Fair Fighting Rules." Pointing out a breach of the rules is another form of bringing the therapist, who offered you the rules, into the fight. Best not to do it. Again go back to the "I" statements.

Item Number: SCP-3619
Object Class: Euclid Uncontained RK-Class World-Exposing Scenario
Special Containment Procedures:
NOTE: SCP-3619 has breached containment, and currently poses a RK-Class World-Exposing Scenario.
SCP-3619 is to be kept in a secure underground storage facility at Site-47. Relocated to Site-48 See Incident Report 3619.
Artifacts recovered by SCP-3619 should be kept in the same storage facility as SCP-3619. Artifacts that currently have present value or are being searched for by non-SCP Foundation authorities should be applied with a Level 3 Amnestic, and false memories implanted as needed. If a well enough known object, the artifact should be thoroughly tested for anomalous effects, and if proven safe should be released immediately.
Description: SCP-3619 is a concrete statue of about 0.7m in height. It's structure resembles a dog of the Golden Retriever breed. When any personnel says the name of an object or structure within 8ft of SCP-3619, SCP-3619 will immediately enter it's 'Pocket Dimension', much like SCP-106, and teleport to the structure or the nearest version of the object that the tester requested from it. It will then use an unidentifiable force to transport the object back to the SCP's original location in containment. It appears to be able to retrieve any object.
The similarity of this object to ancient anomalous statues is close, mainly seeming similar to Egyptian mythology's shabti, or animate statues. The question of whether or not this statue's origins are Egyptian has been debunked, as the breed of Golden Retriever was not present in Egypt at the time of these shabti.
|Input Request
|Time Taken
|Output Material
|~34 seconds
|3lb turkey , rotten
|~3 seconds
|Bondage strap, often used in criminal or sexual activities. Material is leather.
|~0.1 seconds
|Returned with a paper note, note read: Non utilem.
|~10 hours
|See Incident Report 3619.
Recovery: SCP-3619 was discovered on the date of 1/1/20██, on a porch behind a small farmhouse in Athens, ███████, after witnesses say the statue "disappeared and returned with a small object in it's mouth". State officials then notified the Foundation, and Foundation LP. Agent Jones1 handled the recovery, proceeding with amnestic application to witnesses. Object was put in containment at Site-47 without issue.
The main problem stands that SCP-3619 poses a RK-Class World-Exposing Scenario. This class states that, "Any SCP or anomalous event that runs a large risk of exposing the Foundation and/or SCPs to common society is now qualified a RK-Class World-Exposing Event".
There are currently 2 files with RK-Class assignment.

Crater Dunes - False Color
May 17, 2019
Context image
Today's false color image shows an unnamed crater in Acidalia Planitia. The dark blue feature on the crater floor is a mound of sand. The sand is tall enough to cast a shadow, with the sun is coming from the left (west). The texture on the surface of the sand are dune features created by wind action.
The THEMIS VIS camera contains 5 filters. The data from different filters can be combined in multiple ways to create a false color image. These false color images may reveal subtle variations of the surface not easily identified in a single band image.
Orbit Number: 63180 Latitude: 61.4065 Longitude: 311.579 Instrument: VIS Captured: 2016-03-12 01:24

Udall, Heinrich Slam Trump Administration Proposal To Weaken Protections Against Discrimination In Health Care
Proposed rule would undermine health care protections for LGBTQ people, women, people with disabilities, and people whose primary language is not English
Washington, D.C. (August 14, 2019) – Yesterday, U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich joined 34 fellow Democratic senators to submit a comment letter for the record to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar criticizing the Trump Administration's proposed rule to weaken critical protections that help address discrimination in health care. The senators outlined several issues with the proposed rule, including how it could harm patients who already face barriers when seeking care by emboldening insurers and health care providers to discriminate against them, and called on the Trump Administration to withdraw the proposal.
"We write to oppose the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS or the Department) proposed regulations implementing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2019. Section 1557 of the ACA prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex (including, but not limited to, discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery therefrom, childbirth or related medical conditions, sex stereotyping, and gender identity), national origin, age, disability, and language proficiency. The proposed rule attempts to eliminate protections against discrimination for those who already struggle to access quality, affordable health care services. In advancing policies that not only allow discrimination – but in fact endorse it – HHS is abdicating its responsibility to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans," wrote the Senators.
The full text of the letter is available here.
The letter was led by Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee Ranking Member Patty Murray (D-Wash.), and in addition to Udall and Heinrich, signed by U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Jack Reed (D-RI..), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Gary Peters (D-Mich), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor on Saturday said he was leaving for the United States to seek medical treatment and will be away from work for some time.
The 66-year-old actor took to Twitter to share the news, saying after facing over four decades of "wear and tear" in the showbiz, the check-up was a much needed engagement.
"I am taking a short leave of absence from work to go to America for some medical treatment... It's been 45 years 'plus' of wear and tear at the movies," Kapoor wrote.

December 8, 1987: Bernard Kings makes his first visit to MSG as a member of the Washington Bullets
Bernard King returned to Madison Square Garden for the first time as a Washington Bullet. The Knicks got the last laugh in a 116-92 blowout victory. King came off the bench to score 19 points in 32 minutes.
Patrick Ewing & Bill Cartwright combined for 52 points and simply overpowered the Bullets' frontcourt. Mark Jackson nearly had a triple double with 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists.
King missed the entire 1985-86 season and all but 6 games of the 1986-87 season recovering from the torn ACL. In the 6 games, King averaged 22.7 points a game and shot nearly 50% from the field.
However, the Knicks decided against re-signing Bernard King in the summer of 1987 for various reasons. At the time, the Knicks were afraid that King wouldn't fully recover from the knee surgery. At the same time, the front office didn't like that King did most of his rehabilitation away from the team and barely attended games during the stretch. Furthermore, the Knicks committed to rebuilding with Patrick Ewing, Mark Jackson, & Kenny Walker, amongst others, and thought that King would be a deterrence to the development process.
Despite the Knicks' qualms, King was able to make a near-full recovery and had several productive seasons after his Knicks tenure. He made the 1991 All Star team and averaged 28.4 points/game that season, including a 49 point effort against the Knicks.
The Knicks had a short stint of success in the Rick Pitino era and spent a lot of effort looking for small forwards after King's departure. Perhaps Bernard King would have made a difference.
December 8, 2001: Jeff Van Gundy unexpectedly quits
In a day that marked the downward spiral of the New York Knicks in the 2000s, Jeff Van Gundy (JVG) abruptly resigned after a 10-9 record to start the season. The team won 5 of their last 6 games heading into the resignation.
He was known as one of the hardest working coaches in the league. Many of his former assistant coaches currently coaching in the NBA possess the same traits as him. Six + years of coaching at high intensity took a toll on Van Gundy and his family. JVG, then 39, was married with a 6 year old daughter and often longed to spend more time with his family.
JVG felt he was losing the team as early as the 2000-01 season, the same reason the Knicks traded Ewing. The team wasn't playing with the same intensity that they were reputed for during the 90s. He often questioned the team's effort and publicly stated that the team was "mailing it in" during some of the games.
Additionally, Van Gundy dealt with tragedy close to home as two of his close friends, Farrell Lynch & Bill Minardi, were killed in the September 11th attacks. The culmination of events leading up to the season were tough to overcome.
JVG left the Knicks with a 248-172 record. He spent nearly 7 years as an assistant coach under Stu Jackson, John MacLeod, Pat Riley, & Don Nelson. As a head coach, he led the Knicks to an unexpected NBA Finals run in 1999. Despite the success, he was nearly fired on multiple occasions and dealt with a highly publicized feud with GM Ernie Grunfeld that led to the latter's dismissal. Furthermore, he outlasted both Patrick Ewing and Dave Checketts, leaving him with few allies internally in the organization.
Don Chaney took over for JVG as interim coach. It's safe to say the Knicks never recovered after his resignation during the decade. Likewise, JVG has admitted that he shouldn't have resigned.

The 3 Best KNIGHTlife Areas in Orlando
Every college student wants to go out and have new experiences while they're in college and luckily Orlando has many things to do and see. One major thing that college students love to do is create memories with friends whether it be out on the town or on campus. Luckily for Orlando college residents, there are multiple areas that have a variety of options to choose from when it comes to how you want to spend your night.
UCF Area
The UCF area houses many bars that are a great place to let loose at after a long week of studying and exams. A few notable and most popular bars here are Knight's Pub, Knight's Library, and Stagger Inn, all great options to choose from. A major benefit at these bars to the broke college student is that you will always find great deals, regardless of the night you go. Be wary however, because peak nights at these bars will result in long lines to get in and being shoulder to shoulder with everyone once you get inside. The UCF area bars are ones you must visit before you graduate, because they truly give you that college experience.
Downtown Orlando
Downtown Orlando offers the most universal nightlife in one walkable area. With downtown's high variety of bars and clubs, there is always a new place to try each time you go. The multitude of different bars downtown leaves many people surprised. There is Joysticks Arcade and Lounge, where you can play arcade games and listen to the 90's best hits; Frosty's Christmastime Lounge, where it snows inside the bar and Christmas music plays all year long; and even the rooftop bar Aero, where you can get great views of the City Beautiful while dancing the night away. These are just a few of the many bars and clubs that downtown has to offer.
International Drive
Head over to International Drive (also known as I-Drive) for a taste of fun. Often overlooked by Orlando residents, I-Drive offers many fun nightlife options. The I-Drive 360 complex has many great bars that you can spend your night at. Go dance and listen to live music at Tin Roof, or even test your agility and hop on a mechanical bull at Cowgirls Rockbar. If you're trying to add a little ethnic flare to your night, try either Mango's Tropical Café, which offers dancing and live shows every night and puts you in a tropical state of mind, or Cuba Libre, where you grab a partner and salsa until you shut it down. International Drive always promises good vibes and great times.
Disclaimer: Establishments serving alcoholic beverages as their primary service are generally intended for adults of legal drinking age (21 years old or older). Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive. There are plenty of transportation options for safe arrivals and departures to your points of destination.

Deb Caletti
Simon Pulse
I felt like this book was the anti-thesis to all the my-boyfriend-loves-me-so-much-he-stalks-me, Twilight-esque books out there. Clara and Christian have an intense relationship right from the get; there's an instant connection and the word soul mates is tossed around almost carelessly. They "love" each other. They're completely wrapped up in each other. However, as their relationship grows, so does Christian's jealousy. He doesn't want Clara to talk to other guys, look at other guys. He checks up on her when they're not together, just to make sure she's where she said she would be and not cheating on him. He gets angry too easily and this anger fades into a desperate neediness too quickly. When they break up and he starts stalking her, the fear is palpable. He emails, calls, and shows up at her house uninvited.
The story switches between past and present, telling the story of their relationship simultaneously with what happens after Clara and her father move to the sea for the summer to get away from him. While I wished that the past/present sections were marked, the story flowed well enough that it wasn't jarring for me. There's a lot of descriptive language in this book and a lot of times I felt like it slowed the story down, but at the same time there was so much tension in the story and this balanced out the slowness of it to a good degree.
The setting of the sea plays a bit part of this book and it's written beautifully. Though the overriding symbolism of the ghosts seemed a bit overplayed at times, the actual setting and atmosphere of the seaside town Clara and her father come to is great, as is the various ways that this setting plays into the plot of the story.
Clara and her dad have exactly the sort of father-daughter relationship I've been waiting for in YA. There's an obvious love and ease between them; when Christian starts going crazy, Dad is right there for Clara; he even even changes their life around to give both his daughter and himself some peace of mind. The relationship between them is so easy and such a huge part of the book, which I absolutely loved this. While there were some revelations near the end that I was unprepared for and that at first felt out of place, these things came together and made perfect sense by the conclusion. Things here are, thankfully, not tied up so neatly with a bow and while I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending, which felt rushed and a bit too easy compared with the rest of the story, I do like how Caletti left things overall.
I didn't expect to, but I loved this book. Love love love. It's lyrical and creepy, all-too-honest and believable, and written with such great tension and realistic characters. As I said earlier, I definitely recommend it for those readers who have grown disenchanted with the insta-love of many YA novels.
