Hong Kong ,  2001
Directed by Raymond To.
What the ---? A Hong Kong movie which approaches the topic of AIDS with sensitivity and sincerity? Well I never thought I'd see the day. Chris Lee plays Fu, a young man with hemophilia who gets a transfusion of AIDS-infected blood and slowly dies. He finds his God given purpose on life is writing about his condition, so that others may benefit. Based on a true story, though given the usual usage of AIDS in Hong Kong movies as a cheap gay joke, I can only assume not many people read his writing. Sylvia Chang turns in a credible performance as his steadfast and religious mother, while Josie Ho struggles to create a real moment in her role as an HIV positive woman and comes up empty. Although this sensitive approach must be something of a watershed in Hong Kong cinema, it's nothing I haven't avoided watching dozens of times before here in the States, and this weepy melodrama offers nothing fresh and never strays from its tired formula.
Posted by Peter Nepstad on May 10, 2004.
I beg to differ. This show is excellent, and the storyline is strong and true to the heart. The actors brought the characters to life with powerful performances.
If an individual mistakes the heart of this film as cheap melodrama, than that person might wish to reconsider his or her own.
Perhaps the feelings that this movie invokes in a person are uncomfortable, showing how strong we all should really be.
And there are religious sentiments of the characters that could cause discomfort. But it takes a person who is not remarkably shortsighted to see past the characters' religious beliefs and admire how they drew strength to carry on with their lives.
I agree with what Misao has said out. this movie teaches us to be strong in life and be grateful for what we have now.
what you have wrote above is simply rubbish. either you are just some heartless person who laughed at the movie or someone who has no feelings.
btw, please. IMAGINE urself having aids. somehow, i dont think you will be as strong as the guy potrayed in the film.
you will probably wished you died earlier. i'm sorry, i just cant stand your comment of the movie.Posted by: rui juan at June 23, 2009 08:52 AM

188: Money Trends with Daniel Ameduri
Daniel Ameduri is Co-Founder of the Future Money Trends Letter. He is a self-made multi-millionaire, full time fact finder, and a proud father of 3.
After warning family and friends in 2007 about the coming market and mortgage collapse, he started his own YouTube channel, VisionVictory, which has received 10 million video views. On March 18, 2008, Daniel called for Dow 8,000, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, AIG, and Washington Mutual. During the mortgage crisis, he helped people buy Put Options on Countrywide Mortgage (these Puts saw a gain of 1,400%).
Not listening to his own advice, Daniel made a bad bet with Southern California's real estate market which wiped out his entire income and savings, leaving him broke. With a special focus and passion for personal finance, he re-built his wealth and declared financial independence in 2012. Having no mortgage and enough rental properties to pay for his life style, he was able to build his business larger than he could have ever imagined. By NOT focusing on money, but by focusing on over delivering value to his customers.
In 2010, when he launched FutureMoneyTrends.com it became the first personal finance letter for the new economy. Today, FutureMoneyTrends.com has been the most widely recognized authority for financial freedom and economic research in commodities, cryptocurrencies, personal finance, cash flow, and income ideas.

I'm interested in finding out how many people manage to make time for breakfast everyday! And if you do manage to, how do you fit it in?
If you don't have it everyday, how often do you manage to have it?

text: Above the Arctic circle, there's no daylight on the solstice. Farther south, Fairbanks has about 3.5 hours. Anchorage, 5.5 hours and Juneau a bit more than six hours. (Graphic courtesy of Brian Brettschneider)Alaska marked the solstice early Dec. 21, at 1:44 a.m. So what does that mean for the amount of daylight across the state?To answer that question, we checked in with Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist in Anchorage who closely tracks Alaska climate data and trends.He regularly talks with editor Annie Feidt from Alaska's Energy Desk as part of the segment, Ask a Climatologist.Listen NowInterview transcript:Brian: If you're north of the Arctic Circle, north of Kotzebue, there's no daylight, so no sunrise and sunset. And then once you get south of there, in Fairbanks, you're at about 3.5 hours. When you get to Anchorage it's somewhere in the 5.5 hour range and then in Juneau, it's about six hours, 20 minutes.Annie: Compare that to a few major cities in the lower 48.Brian: Places in the northern part of the lower 48, like Seattle or Chicago, you're looking at 8.5 to 9 hours of daylight. As you get farther south, like say Los Angeles- ten hours; in Miami- 10.5 hours.Annie: How does the amount of daylight, especially in a place like Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) affect the climate?Brian: When the sun is about five degrees above the horizon, it provides essentially no solar energy. And so even though the sun is out and on your skin, you may feel a little warmth, but it provides almost no atmospheric heating. It's just as likely in Fairbanks, for example, that the high temperature of the day would occur at 2:00 a.m., and the low at 2:00 p.m. There's really no correlation like you would find in the summer when the sun is high in the sky and the afternoon high temperature is going to be just after that peak solar angle. It could be any time of the day or night once you get a little bit north of Anchorage.Annie: Does the amount of daylight balance out around the globe over the course of a year?Brian: That's a really interesting question because we assume that long days in the summer, short days in the winter and they all average out. It's actually not entirely true because of the elliptical nature of our orbit and the tilt of our axis, we actually get more daylight in the summer here in Alaska than we have darkness in the winter. So for example in Utqiagvik, formerly Barrow, in the summer they have 82 days where there is no sunset, so 24 hours of daylight, but in the winter they have 64 days with no sunrise, so that's an 18 day difference. So it's not fully in balance and that solar equation is actually more heavily weighted toward light than dark here in Alaska.

So you've bought an ENERGY STAR-qualified TV to save energy. But there's even more you can do to boost your TV's efficiency. Here's a tip from Pee Dee Electric that can help you save energy—and money.
TVs are bigger than they used to be. And some of the largest ones can use as much electricity each year as a new, conventional refrigerator. But ENERGY STAR-qualified TVs use roughly 40 percent less energy than standard models.
Of course, if the set is left on when no one is watching, that costs money. But in some cases, even if you hit the "off" button, "energy vampires" might go to work―meaning your TV could still consume power.
Here are a couple of things you can do to stop that drain. Many high-definition TVs come with a quick start option. By turning it off, you'll save energy and add only a few seconds to start-up times. And to stop energy vampires, use a power strip as a central "turn off" point. When you're not watching TV and not planning to record a program later, simply flip the strip's "off" button.
For other tips on how to save energy — and money — visit www.energysavers.gov or Touchstone Energy® Cooperatives energy-saving website, www.TogetherWeSave.com or call the efficiency experts at Pee Dee Electric, (843) 665-4070.

Official apathy
Sonamarg Development Authority along with other wings of the government like Tourism Department has only tried to blame each other for the present mess in this tourist resort. Dozens of hotels with rooms more than approved on the files are already in business. There are dozens of construction works going on the more hotels within the green bowl of Sonamarg health resort. The authorities have failed to save the environment of the area as all these constructions are being done at the base of ecologically fragile Thajiwas Glacier and its Wildlife Sanctuary.
As per Master Plan 44 hectares of land has been earmarked for the constructions and so far only they have given permission upto 42 hectares of land. All these approvals have been given according to the Master Plan and as per the Environment Act, is the answer to the questions of environmentalists to the government. Using of green bowl by the Town Planners for the constructions was a wrong decision, say the environmentalists, who are concerned about the failure of the government to curb such activities. They have appealed State Governor Satya Pal Malik to look into the plight of Sonamarg health resort and save it from the further decay. They have appealed State Governor to take some steps and reverse the Master Plan approved in the past and instead allow only tented accommodation for tourists within the green bowl so that it is saved.
The Thajiwas Glacier has receded to great extent and has been reduced at the base to vast valley, full of stones and land mass. The base of Glacier has been turned into a `mini market' with hundreds of tourists getting meals and tea prepared there and recently authorities have imposed a ban on such activities.
Thajiwas Wildlife Sanctuary, Thajiwas Glacier and green bowl of Sonamarg meadow are at the verge of extinction, with authorities shifting the blame and politicians trying to appease locals. The role of Raj Bhawan becomes more important as this is the time when such wrongs of the past can be corrected for the future of Kashmir.

German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz addresses lower house of parliament (Bundestag) during a budget session in Berlin, Germany, September 10, 2019. REUTERS/Fabrizio Bensch
September 10, 2019
BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany can counter a possible economic crisis by injecting "many, many billions of euros" into the economy, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday.
Speaking to lawmakers in the general budget debate of the Bundestag lower house of parliament, Scholz said that Berlin had laid the foundations with its solid budget planning and its policy of no new debt to do more if a crisis hits.
"Because then it will be very important for us as the largest economy in the middle of the European Union, whether we are actually able to counteract a negative economic trend," Scholz said.
"And from my point of view, therefore, with the solid financial foundations we have today, we are in a position to counter an economic crisis with many, many billions of euros if one actually breaks out in Germany and Europe," Scholz said.

Dear OTM,
A neighbor of mine has a 2 year son. To be exact he is 2 years and three months. He doesn't talk, he grunts and makes noises and points at what he wants. And My neighbor and her husband will sit there and guess at what he is trying to say. Well my neighbor noticed that my niece is the same age as their son and that she talks. So they asked me why do I think that is? Why do I think that their son doesn't talk.Well i answered with i'm not sure but all kids are different. What I really wanted to say was Stop allowing him to grunt and make noises and point. They should make him SAY what he wants or tell him what it is if he doesn't know but then expect him to say it after that. Every time I say this in my head it sounds rude and I don't want to be rude.I know as a parent myself sometimes when someone else gives you advice on YOUR kids you can easily get offended. So should I just stick with what I said and make them find their way on their own or say what I think no matter how rude it may sound?
Dear Sarah,
You said exactly what I would have said at that moment. However the next time I saw your neighbor I would follow it up with, "hey I was talking to my sister-in-law and she said when Suzy (?) hit 18 months they started helping her talk and tell them what she wanted. They would say the words and have her try to repeat the word after them and praise her by clapping and saying good girl when she tried. Once they did that a few times, Suzy's speech just took off". Sarah, your neighbor asked you WHY your niece speaks and her son doesn't, so she has questions and now you can tell her.
Good Luck & Huge Muther Hugs,

261 UP schools without drinking water! Over 13,000 primary students facing health issues
In Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor district, thousands of young students are being forced to consume unhygienic water leading to frequent illnesses and diseases.
The State Nutrition Mission whose which is working to make the UP children malnutrition free is facing a major roadblock with this issue as tainted water is one of the major harbingers of malnutrition.
A recent report by the Basic Education Department brought the grave plight of over 13000 students in these 261 primary and upper primary schools to light.
Why no drinking water?
- According to the report, most of the handpumps installed in 1,791 primary and 765 higher primary government schools in Bijnor either do not work or churn out contaminated, polluted water, which the children are forced to consume due to lack of any other drinking water facility
- The concerned authorities, who were asked by the state government to supply clean and safe drinking water, are apparently "not complying" with the directives
- "A few days ago, we had directed the district coordinator to conduct a survey to find out how many handpumps were defunct in primary and higher primary schools. Handpumps are out of order in 261 schools and pump contaminated water," said Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Jai Karan Yadav to TOI.
How are the schools dealing with the issue?
- Many students and teachers are carrying their own water bottles to school so as to not rely on the contaminated water
- "Most of us bring our own water bottles from home," school teachers of Ajitpura, Sipaiwala, Chatarpur, Bhootpuri told TOI. "We informed the authorities concerned about the problem following which a survey was conducted by the education department in the area," they added
- "We've handed over a list of 261 handpumps to the jal nigam authorities to conduct re-boring work on them again. Work will be started soon," said BSA Yadav.
Though there aren't any clear cut answers, recognizing that poverty is a global issue and that children all over the world deserve a future is the first step in the right direction. As Dr. Loretta Scott famously said: "We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
Many of the street children who have run away from home have done so because they were beaten or sexually abused. Tragically, their homelessness can lead to further abuse through exploitative child labour and prostitution.
Not only does abuse rob runaway children of their material security, but it also leaves them emotionally scarred. Many of the abused children I-India encounters are traumatised and some refuse to speak for months. To aggravate matters, children often feel guilty and blame themselves for their mistreatment. Such damage can take years to recover from in even the most loving of environments; on the streets it may never heal.
Child Labour:
Most Indian street children work. In Jaipur, a common job is rag-picking, in which boys and girls as young as 6 years old sift through garbage in order to collect recyclable material. The children usually rise before dawn and carry their heavy load in a large bag over their shoulder. Rag-pickers can be seen alongside pigs and dogs searching through trash heaps on their hands and knees.
Other common jobs are the collecting of firewood, tending to animals, street vending, dyeing, begging, prostitution and domestic labour.
Children that work are not only subject to the strains and hazards of their labour, but are also denied the education or training that could enable them to escape the poverty trap.
Poor health is a chronic problem for street children. Half of all children in India are malnourished, but for street children the proportion is much higher. These children are not only underweight, but their growth has often been stunted; for example, it is very common to mistake a 12 year old for an 8 year old.
Street children live and work amidst trash, animals and open
sewers. Not only are they exposed and susceptible to disease, they
are also unlikely to be vaccinated or receive medical treatment.
Only two in three Indian children have been vaccinated against TB,
Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio and Measles; only one in ten against
Hepatitis B. Most street children have not been vaccinated at all.
They usually can not afford, and do not trust, doctors or medicines.
If they receive any treatment at all it will often be harmful, as
with kids whose parents place scalding metal on their bellies as a
remedy for persistent stomach pain.
Child labourers suffer from exhaustion, injury, exposure to dangerous chemicals, plus muscle and bone afflictions.
There is much ignorance about reproductive health and many girls suffer needlessly. A girl made infertile by an easily-preventable condition may become unmarryable and so doomed to a life of even greater insecurity and material hardship.
he root causes of poverty are beyond a single NGO's power to change, but humanofindia believes in helping where it can. Street schools provide some education, as does mainstreaming of children into government schools and offering scholarships to private schools. Vocational training centres are a pragmatic, but powerful, tool to assist children in escaping the poverty trap. Children at these centres learn skills such as jewellery-making and tailoring which can prove more valuable to them than additional formal schooling. The money children earn at the centres alleviates some of their poverty, and encourages the child and his/her parents to choose vocational training over child labour.humanofindia has also been active in promoting Child Rights.
A street child in India is someone "for whom the street (in the widest sense of the word, including unoccupied dwellings, wasteland, etc.) has become his or her habitual abode and/or source of livelihood; and who is inadequately protected, supervised, or directed by responsible adults".
It is estimated that more than 400,000 street children in India exist.Mainly because of family conflict, they come to live on the streets and take on the full responsibilities of caring for themselves, including working to provide for and protecting themselves. Though street children do sometimes band together for greater security, they are often exploited by employers and the police
I noticed that fewer students had access to a computer after school. The sluggish economy forced many families to prioritize their money and use it for more pressing needs. They needed food. They need to pay their mortgage on their rent. Some of them lost their crops due to rainfall and no rain. I feared that many of these students would get left behind.
So I will buy a bus, filled it with computer and buy technology to the kids. I have computer lab, I have provided free, computer-based tutoring for some of students since 2012. I determined to help poor children get the same educational opportunities as other children.
The computers are loaded with educational software, providing interactive exercises that reinforce state-mandated curricula. Children receive their own account login and password, allowing them to continue their work from anywhere they can access the Internet. Users can only advance to the next level in a subject once they reach 90% proficiency in the current one, and the software allows I will track their progress. On the bus, adults can receive online banking tutorials, resume assistance and help searching for jobs and affordable business knowledge.
"I don't think about what I'm not able to do or not going to be able to do, "I plan for the things that I think I'm going to do, need to do and want to do. And I think most of them are going to happen.
Thank you
A.K Chauhan

It was a surprise announcement to read that Chef Bertus Basson has been exorcised from Spice Route wine estate outside of Paarl, and that Chef Liam Tomlin with Neil and Tina Jewell are taking over this space. It makes for an interesting discussion as to why the top chefs of our country are so determined to open one restaurant after the other, and to ask if they make any money out of it!
The restaurant reshuffle gives our country one six-restaurant top chef owner: Tomlin owns the award-struggling Chefs Warehouse on Bree Street, the drastically better Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia, Chefs Warehouse at Maison, Thali, a recently opened Brugarol in Barcelona, and now Jewells at Spice Route, opening in late April. In addition, Tomlin consults to Singita.
He is followed by two five-restaurant top chef owners:
#. Chef Luke Dale-Roberts runs The Test Kitchen, The Pot Luck Club, The Shortmarket Club, Salsify at The Roundhouse, and The Commissary. This chef stays out of the limelight, and is in his The Test Kitchen kitchen, with a less prominent ego than his chef colleagues!
#. Basson now has five restaurants in Stellenbosch, an overkill in this student town one would think, with Overture, Eike by Bertus Basson, my 'favorite' Spek & Bone, De Vrije Burger, and The Deck. One wonders why Spice Route and Basson have parted ways, given that he was a big name brand for the wine estate when it reopened after buying Seidelberg. To me it signals that Basson's star is waning, as the Eat Out Awards demonstrated in November. Basson juggles his hate-campaign against me as a restaurant writer, running/owning five restaurants that he is barely at himself, TV appearances, and cooking at events.
I have been told that many wine estate owners are funding the restaurant collection expansions of chefs, nothing more than ego boosting, and not financially viable without the support of their financiers. But is this good for our restaurant industry? Chefs who barely cook in their restaurants? But commendably they are building young talent, to give them a chance to grow in the new restaurant additions, usually staffing from within, as Dale-Roberts does so well.
I would welcome reader views on this topic.

As with any wedding weekend, things don't always go to plan. When you buy a killer pink dress, the caverns forget about your reservation, and you only have 10 minutes for photos in a pitch dark cave (instead of 90 minutes with ambient lights), you make the most of it. When the shuttle runs late, and the wedding day is delayed, you roll with it. I could name several other instances of when we all had to be flexible, but I have to give Felicia + Jon props for going with the flow.
They hosted one of the most unique weddings I've been to in my 11 year career. I've never photographed in a cave before, nor under a natural bridge. Natural Bridge, VA, has some of the most beautiful rock formations that I've seen on the east coast. It was fun to play and photograph in a different environment than I'm used to in the mountains.
Even with plans running amiss, everything turned out in the end. They were happily married. The weather was beautiful. The celebration was fun.
Special thanks to Lucy for helping me out with this one.
Great work and they look super fun!

C'mon Son! "I'm Dreamin'" Singer Christopher Williams Arrested For Very Petty Crime
Remember Christopher Williams, the "pretty boy" from New Jack City and the 80's/90's legend who sang "I'm Dreamin?'" Well, today he probably wishes the answer was 'Yes' he is dreaming, so he could wake up and get on with his everyday life, minus his recent arrest. Unfortunately that ain't the case for Williams.
On Saturday, August 30th, the brotha was booked for a petty theft, after committing one of the pettiest crimes ever- stealing a pair of expensive headphones. Yep, you read that right, but there's more. The 50 year old R&B crooner reportedly claimed forgetfulness was the cause of his crime. See the details of what went down:
Via TMZ: Sources tell us the incident went down Saturday at a Kohl's in McDonough, Georgia where Chris walked in with a tote bag and wearing a baseball cap. We're told he went to the back of the store and grabbed a pair of JBL headphones … priced at $99.99. We're told he threw the headphones into his bag and tried walking out. When security stopped him, we're told Chris said he simply forgot he bagged them. By then, cops were called and arrested him. The "I'm Dreamin'" singer was arrested and booked for petty theft, a misdemeanor. He was released after a couple hours.
Listen, I get it, JBL headphones are one of the best quality headphones on the market…one that many recording artists prefer. So it's understandable why Williams wanted those bad boys. The question is did he really forget he slipped them into his bag and tried to slide outta the door with them? That'll be up to the judge to determine.
Meanwhile, I'll be over here vibing to his classics R&B joints and hopefully he'll be staying out of Kohl's stores. Much luck to ya' Williams!
On a lighter note, the good thing is that Christopher Williams is still doing what he loves for a living. He's currently gracing the stage as part of the cast of "I Cheated So What" – a stage play that's been getting solid reviews. For more info on that you can visit icheatedsowhat.com.

|Planing the Next Leg of the Trip
Another beautiful day here in Virginia. A little cooler than yesterday, but still "T" shirt weather, at least when the sun is out. It is a bit more windy than yesterday, and the clouds are building - the reports are for a little rain tonight, than clearing for the rest of the weekend.
More trailers arrived today for the 4th Fall Mini Rally - there are a total of 8 of us so far, with three more expected. Lots of dogs, in fact, more than trailers and almost more than people! They come in all sizes - check the photos.
Most of today was spent saying hello, and finishing my current book The Walking by Bentley Little.
Dinner was the rest of the Caesar Salad & a steak & pepper sandwich made with leftover steak from yesterday.

Goodbye Oracle, hello PostgreSQL! I've decided to get out of the Oracle business and move our Enterprise Geodatabase to PostgreSQL. I'm tired of giving Oracle lots of money each year. PostgreSQL is open source and it is very mature. Though we do not have a dedicated DBA here that knows PostgreSQL, they can learn! And so can I. Besides, ESRI supports it and if something goes wrong, I can get them on the red hotline phone!
Over the past few years, I have been testing PostgreSQL on Windows by installing it with our ArcGIS Server installations and using it to store GIS data used in our map and feature services. I have had only one issue and it was a speed problem when selecting over 10,000 polygons in ArcMap. ESRI confirmed it was a bug. I believe that problem has gone away, so now is a good time to move to PostgreSQL. But just to be sure, we will be running both Oracle and PostgreSQL in parallel for a few months.
NOTE: To be able to install an Enterprise Geodatabase in PostgreSQL, you must be running ArcGIS Server (enterprise addition) somewhere. You need the keycodes file that was created with it to authorize the geodatabase. You will also need the st_geometry.so file that was created when you installed ArcGIS Desktop 10.6. More on that later. Continue reading

SoCal does not experience avalanches very often. Since 1950, at least 64 people have died in avalanches in California with 9 of those in SoCal, according to this article.
Snow avalanches can cause a significant loss of life. As a naturally occurring disaster they are unique in nature, usually being highly localized events, and often in remote areas. Their victims are often voluntarily at risk for recreation purposes and become the trigger of their own avalanche.
Avalanche forecasting seeks to safeguard recreationists in winter mountain environments using risk based decision making. Avalanche experts interpret the spatial and temporal distribution of hazards and abstractly present these in the form of a forecast. Recreationists can then use them for planning excursions into avalanche prone terrain and avoid high risk slopes that pose a hazard.
Check out this article on how Scotland looked at using GIS to make cartographic visualizations of predicted avalanche danger areas.

bthechange was started after the founder member had experienced being on the wrong side of the criminal justice system having had a law abiding life up to that point. His experience of the criminal justice system and the impact on his own life made him convinced that there was a need for more help for first time offenders. He realised that without support first time offenders are likely to reoffend, or to have lives impacted negatively for the rest of their lives.
Nationally 60% of first time offenders go on to reoffend within a year of sentence, of those who have been mentored and supported by bthechange the rate is 3%. Whilst it is recognised that to date the clients have self-referred and therefore may be more willing to address their future, the statistics are very encouraging and suggest that those who are offered the opportunities provided through bthechange are finding ways to make positive changes and avoid further offending behaviour.
At present bthechange has a bank of NOCN Peer mentor qualified volunteers that are providing peer support and transition training for clients requiring help throughout Devon & Cornwall. It is important to the services provided that all staff have themselves been through the criminal justice process or have a great insight into the criminal justice system. The majority of our front line staff are ex-clients of bthechange.
Our Vision…
"Is to close the re-offending revolving door before it starts spinning"
Our Values are…
Hope & Inspiration:
We aim to provide inspirational support, guidance and mentorship which will create hope and promote self-worth.
Positive Change:
Change is a process, not an event. Therefore all our programmes support sustainable change and achievement.
Trust & Integrity:
We treat people as they wish to be treated and we follow through on our promises and commitments.
Our Core Belief…
We believe that maximum resource needs to be applied upon entry into the criminal justice system. This will promote effective rehabilitation. Equally we believe in a restorative approach: Restorative Justice, restorative sentencing and restorative community service.
Our Work Is Based On…
Individuals taking responsibility, accountability and ownership of their lives and only then can the re-offending revolving door stop spinning. This is achieved through our clients engaging in our 'powered interventions' and restorative / methods.
Social Impact
Our social impact is two-fold:

Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Christmas is coming and many people make a point to attend church worship services and the Christmas Eve Candlelight service.
There are many challenges people face at Christmas, but one practical thing is "What do I do with my kids?" At Lawson Heights Alliance, we invite our children into the worship for the first two songs every Sunday, and at Christmas and Christmas Eve, they get to join us for the whole service. Here are some tips that help:
- Start with your attitude and pray – you can do it! Remember the goal is to Worship God and Connect with others.
- Discuss expectations with you kids. I know that sounds like it's asking a lot, but many children can help create realistic expectations. "When the pastor asks us to stand, what would be the respectful thing to do? Why do we stand?" "When the pastor is speaking, what are things we can do?"
- Get a drink and visit the restroom before entering the sanctuary – this may require you to be early. Bring some snacks and a colouring book.
- Help them fill out KidZone sermon notes or Activity Packs that are provided at the KZ table.
- Read the passage in their Bible. No one is going to judge you for reading the Bible to your children in a whisper during the service.
- Sit near the front – seriously. There will be fewer distractions in front of your kids and they can see better.
- If your child wiggles or doesn't sing, realize many adults do the same when it's not their favourite song either.
- Explain anything that is unfamiliar, like songs and words they don't understand. Say things like "Do you know what this song is about? Our God is so awesome, that he is the source of all wisdom, power and love!" "Do you know why we light advent candles – because we're so excited that the celebration of Jesus' birth is coming" "Do you know why we do this? Me neither, lets ask a friend after the service"
- Sing Christian songs at home with your kids and play them on Spotify or Youtube.
- Don't reward them for what can be "normal" behaviours like listening and not being disruptive. A simple "thank you" and "well done" can go a long way.
- Oh yeah, there is no such thing as "Normal" and no kids are perfect! Some weeks will be a disaster, but some weeks will actually be worshipful and you'll likely hear your kids talking about the sermon or singing the songs at home.
- Be consistent with attendance and expectations, it will enable them to get into a groove – and worship God!
If you've tried all these things and they're still restless, just remember that they are kids, have patience, relax. Real Christians are not judging you based on how well your children behave during a service. We are glad you are able to join us and we don't mind a few disruptions. We love you. We need you. You can do it!

Question: "What is the Assumption of Mary?"
Answer: The Assumption of Mary (or the Assumption of the Virgin) is a doctrine which teaches that after the mother of Jesus died, she was resurrected, glorified, and taken bodily to heaven. The word assumption is taken from a Latin word meaning "to take up." The Assumption of Mary is taught by the Roman Catholic Church and, to a lesser degree, the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The doctrine of the Assumption of Mary had its beginnings in the Byzantine Empire around the 6th Century. An annual feast honoring Mary gradually grew into a commemoration of Mary's death called the Feast of Dormition ("falling asleep"). As the practice spread to the West, an emphasis was placed on Mary's resurrection, and the glorification of Mary's body as well as her soul, and the name of the feast was thereby changed to the Assumption.
It is still observed on August 15, as it was in the Middle Ages. The Assumption of Mary was made an official dogma of the Roman Catholic Church in 1950 by Pope Pius XII.
The Bible does record God "assuming" both Enoch and Elijah into Heaven (Genesis 5:24; 2 Kings 2:11). Therefore, it is not impossible that God would have done the same with Mary. It is not wrong to believe that God "assumed" Mary into heaven. The problem is that there is no biblical basis for the Assumption of Mary. The Bible does not record Mary's death or again mention Mary after Acts chapter 1. Rather, the doctrine of the Assumption
is the result of lifting Mary to a position comparable to that of her Son. Some Roman Catholics go so far as to teach that Mary was resurrected on the third day, just like Jesus, and that Mary ascended into Heaven, just like Jesus. The New Testament teaches that Jesus was resurrected on the third day (Luke 24:7) and that He ascended bodily into heaven (Acts 1:9). To assume the same thing concerning Mary is to ascribe to her some
of the attributes of Christ. While the idea of the Assumption of Mary is not heretical in and of itself; in the Roman Catholic Church, the Assumption of Mary is an important step towards why Mary is venerated, worshipped, adored, and prayed to. To teach the Assumption of Mary is a step toward making her equal to Christ, essentially proclaiming Mary's deity.

This week the popular writer John Pavlovitz posted an essay to his blog title "The Extinction of the White Male Dinosaur." He noted that as the 116th Congress was sworn in this week, it is the most diverse Congress in our history. Congress looks more like the America we actually live in than at any time in history – and yet there is still a long way to go so that white, Christian males aren't the overwhelming majority.
In his essay, Pavlovtiz notes that the White Male Dinosaur is not going "quietly into that good night" of history's scrap heap. Quite the contrary, the dinosaurs are "raging against the light" of truth and are going to fight, kick, and scream all the way to their death bed. This will probably mean our politics gets uglier before our country gets better, but the numbers aren't going to change. We are headed toward a diverse beloved community.
Five years ago I wrote a similar blog post about this called "The Last Stand of the Old, White, Angry, Christian Men." I noted that demographically their time is coming to an end and they sense it and it makes them dangerous, like a cornered wild animal. A cornered wild animal is going to lose, but can still be very dangerous, just watch a YouTube video of animal control officers trying to capture trapped alligators, mountain lions, bears, or even raccoons.
I'm going to guess that you join me in happily cheering the most diverse U.S. Congress EVER. It's another decided step-forward toward creating the country we dream about. It hasn't been easy. Some of this history is ugly, so ugly we don't want to admit to it or to its full impact on not only how we live but how we perceive our reality. And yet, we seem to march forward inch by inch and maybe, just maybe this new Congress is a two inch step. And yet, we still have so far to go to realize the world we dream about.
The core reason our country is so conflicted right now is that older rich white straight Christian men (and the women who support them) are, for the first time in our history, having to deal with the fact that their days of a privileged position, their days of being more immune to life's difficulties than others are going to end, and sooner rather than later. They are scared to death. Are they scared of this change itself – partly, BUT they are more scared of what they will lose. They will lose their compass, the way they were taught to navigate the world used one map and now the map is being switched out for a new GPS system that talks back to them. Actual progress for the country means actual real and painful losses for the rich, old, white men.
And yet it has to be. We no longer live "in the old dispensation", we live in a world where fairness, justice, and equality are freedoms and rights that have been tasted and imagined by everyone on the planet and they can't be unimagined or untasted. We live in a world where it is no longer accepted but ignorant to believe one group, one gender, one color, one religion, on language, one sexuality, one gender expression, one historically located and socially constructed location is better than another. We live in a time where the way we've always done it – be it government, or health care, or education, isn't working any more. We live in a time where if we don't apply what we've learned from science about how our planetary ecosystem works, we will actually in all reality KILL our planet and we will all die. If we step back, what sane rich, white old man wouldn't want to bury his head and sand and ignore all this?
When people are scared, especially when they are scared of losing their way, losing their power, losing their feeling of control, losing their feeling of safety, they will say and do almost anything to prevent it or to not have to deal with it. They will blame and scapegoat – all our society's problems stem from others – It's the Jews fault, It's the blacks fault, it's the uppity women's fault, the gays fault, it's the immigrant's fault, it's the Muslims fault. They will rant and rave and not understand why some people don't share their point of view. After all, their perspective is THE correct one. Isn't it obvious that marriage is between one man and one woman? Isn't it obvious women should stay home and take care of children? Women don't need to work or make the same money as a man for doing the same job. America is Obviously a Christian nation where we speak English. The old, white men are throwing a tantrum – if everyone just did it my way, everything would be fine, even great, once again. What's wrong with the way we've always done it? Virtually all of you are imagining the people I'm talking about – Nazis, Deplorables, MAGAs, Conservatives, Rednecks, and so on.
Now stop and think for a minute how this is exactly like so many congregations.
Just like the situation facing our government, education and health care systems, and our social norms and mores – the way we've always done it isn't working any longer at church either. What's wrong with these people who don't value the Bible and the Lord's Prayer, or who don't like the old hymns, or won't help teach Religious Education? Some of them don't even want to have church on Sunday mornings because it's inconvenient! And just like in the rest of the world there is blaming and scapegoating – things are wrong at church because of everyone in the congregation that doesn't think like I do. It's the Religious Education Director's fault. It's the Minister's fault. It's the "new" people's fault. What's wrong with the way we always did things? What do you mean we are not "welcoming?"
And if right now you're thinking, wait a minute, that's not the same thing – let me assure you that it is exactly the same thing. The fear and anxiety of loss associated with changes going on and changes yet to come is the same. And the reactions to it are the same. Church is the place where we practice being human said James Luther Adams. How can we heal division in the world if we can't heal it in our congregation?
Notice what's happening with this new, diverse Congress – Many of the freshmen class are unafraid to speak of things that were political suicide less than 5 years ago – Socialism, Medicare for All single payer health care, free public college education, guaranteed basic income, increasing taxes on the wealthy, rank choice voting, automatic voter registration, national election days as national holidays. All the people who have traditionally been left out are organizing, working hard, dreaming and instead of just complaining about the way things are they are getting involved, getting elected, giving voice to new ideas, new approaches, new attitudes, new ….possibilities! What if we did the same in our churches?
Instead of focussing on fear, what if we focus on what's possible? Before anything can happen, someone has to believe it is possible. Hope is built on possibility -that no direction or plan or fate is ever completely firm and fixed forever – revelation is ongoing is a cornerstone of our Unitarian Universalism – anything can, and eventually everything does, change.
Change isn't something to be feared, it's the playing field of life, of reality. Will we be controlled by change? Will we put so much strength into resisting it that we can't form it and shape it into a more pleasing and accessible shape?
Creating the life we want for ourselves and the future we want for our church happens in fits (and sometimes they are actual fits – arguments, taking my ball and going home tantrums) and starts and stops and starting agains and stopping agains and successes and failures.
Possibility doesn't come wrapped up in a holiday gift box – just open what you've hoped for and there it is! Possibility requires work and it requires courage. We must be brave enough to consider new things, new ways of doing and new ways of being. We must be brave enough to give up certainty and assume an emotional as well as an intellectual posture of curiosity. We must be brave enough to give up some of our personal preferences for the good of the group, trusting that others will too. Possibility requires trusting that there are enough resources within us and within our community and our congregation and the world around us to justify hope and optimism and this is another cornerstone of our faith.
Considering possibilities doesn't have to be fearful, it can be hopeful. The way it's always been is safe, but limiting – we may need ideas, practices, customs, and programs that are brand new to all of us. But instead of thinking of this as too risky to chance, how does our attitude change if we think of this as too risky NOT to chance.
Possibility unleashes creativity. Possibility unleashes energy. Possibility and creative energy are attractive. Possibility unshackles us from the way we've always done it so we can create together the way we need to do it from now on. Possibility enables us to not only move forward but create a future even more glorious and storied than our past.

All Is Calm, All Is Bright!
Each year, Upper School students crowd the Field House for the annual Silent Night basketball game.
Each year, Upper School students crowd the Field House for the annual Silent Night basketball game. Following the lead of college teams, a few years ago, PCA's Varsity Basketball team added a new element to one game of the year. Students dress up in crazy outfits such as full body bananas suits or space alien costumes. During the beginning of the game, the PCA fans stay seated and silent until the Lions score their tenth point. Once the tenth point is scored, everyone goes crazy and keeps cheering throughout the game. This is a fun way for the student body to incorporate school traditions into a basketball game.
Players, cheerleaders, and fans all influence the game. The cheerleaders, like the fans, get to dress up too, some have even dressed up as hippies or angels. Junior Claire Ring got to participate as a Varsity cheerleader for the first time this year. Claire said that her favorite part of basketball season was "getting to see all the Seniors and grow my friendships with them since we no longer have a cheer class." Claire said, "We decided to dress up as aliens this year." The whole cheer team bedazzled their face and hair and dressed in neon shirts to look the part.
The fans also brought a unique aspect to the game. Groups of friends often get together and plan what they want to wear and match each other. Senior Kyle Miller has been going to the games to cheer on the team every year. This year, Kyle decided to dress up as a teddy bear. Kyle said, "The thing I was most excited for was reaching ten points." He loved to be a part of cheering on the team to a big win.
The last perspective might be the most important, the basketball players. Senior Max McWilliams has been playing basketball all throughout high school, which means he has either watched or participated in the Silent Night game. Max said, "Yes, this is my favorite game of the season, it was fun." The players have to stay focused amidst loud noises. It is also fun for them to see how the opposing team reacts to the PCA fans staying silent at the beginning. Max said, "The silence freaks the other team out." This year, the team played Bishop Dunne. They choose a different team each year so that there is an element of surprise.
PCA has countless traditions throughout the year, but this might be one of the students' favorite. It is always fun to come to the game and see the crowd full of colors and costumes. It is a tradition that should never die and brings everyone together for a fun basketball game!

Boyz get ready for do-or-die clash
VINA DEL MAR, Chile:
After a fair bit of travelling by air and bus, the Reggae Boyz are in Vina Del Mar for tomorrow's do-or-die Group B Copa encounter against world number three Argentina, in the Copa America football tournament.
The Jamaica senior men's football team was up and ready for an 8 a.m. breakfast before a near-hour drive to the airport in Antafogasta, the desert mining town in which they found much love for their charm and unexpected high-quality performance against cup holders Uruguay, and then against Paraguay, in their first two Group B matches.
Both ended in 1-0 defeats, which left the Jamaicans at the bottom of the Group of Death and needing to win to give themselves any hope of advancing to the quarter-finals.
Argentina and Paraguay, with a win and a draw, are tied atop the group with four points, while Uruguay have three. There are three first-round groupings of four teams and the top two, along with the two best third-placed teams, will advance.
From day one, head coach Winfried Schäfer had stated his intention of "making the quarter-finals".
The players and coaching staff have added to that call with similar expressions, noting that "we're not here to make up numbers" on the back of strong performances in both matches played.
a bizarre goal
They went shoulder to shoulder with Uruguay and created enough chances to win; and conceded a bizarre goal from a goalkeeping error against Paraguay, which thoroughly dominated their match-up in the first half before the Reggae Boyz transformed the game in the second half and pressured their opponents to the end, while going close to scoring on a couple of occasions.
It drew wide admiration and support from the people of Antafogasta, with cheers of "Jamaica, Jamaica, Jamaica", as they willed the team on in the two matches.
"You saw after the match all supporters of Chile were applauding," Schäfer observed. "They cheer for Jamaica because they saw a team that wanted to win, was fighting, was determined."
Now, the Reggae Boyz, who did some stretches two hours after arriving here, are looking forward to rising against the challenge of a star-studded Argentine team with the world's top player, Lionel Messi, along with Sergio Aguero, Angel di Maria, Carlos Tevez and Ezequiel Lavezzi, some of the game's biggest strikers.
"You never know with football; anything can happen on the day," central defender Michael Hector said, reflecting on their underdog status. "But we've got to cut out the silly mistakes that lead to the goals, and if we stay solid, then a set piece or a counterattack could do it."

Today it's easier than ever to research and find the perfect senior community for yourself or your loved one. The amount of information that's out there is incredible so much so, that it can understandably feel like an overwhelming task. Don't worry. Once you break it down, the search for senior living can become more straightforward. Here are four steps to follow as you start the journey.
1. Start the Conversation Early
The conversation about making the move to a senior living community can be a positive discussion, and the sooner you start, the more time you will have to find the right community.
"It's a very tough time when you wait too long. It's probably the worst decision you can make," says Wendy, daughter of Margo, a Terracina Grand resident in Naples. "Have the conversation early when your parents can still tell you what they want."
Remember that beginning the discussion doesn't mean you have to make an immediate decision. It just gives you the time to be proactive and better prepared for the future.
2. Research Your Options
As you might guess, the internet is a good place to start finding out what senior community living options are available in your area. Not only are there websites for the communities themselves, but you can find a wealth of blogs, checklists, surveys, reviews, and testimonials to help narrow your search. A good way to begin is to search for "senior communities" and your city/state or ZIP code.
The internet isn't the only way to research your options. Here are a few more ideas to get you started:
- Talk to friends, neighbors, and other family members about their personal experiences with senior living. It's always comforting to talk to someone who's been through the process.
- Local senior centers are likely to have some good information and recommendations.
- Check with your place of worship. They may be groups and counselors there who can help with your questions.
- Your health care professionals can also answer questions and point you in the right direction.
3. Narrow Your Search
For Ginny, a resident at Terracina Grand, she knew the moment she walked into the community that it was the right fit for her. "It's just a feeling of knowing that you belong," says Ginny. "I felt like I was going to be able to meet people who I would be comfortable with and who I could relate to here."
Once you've had time to review your options, narrow your list based on the factors that are most important to you. These can include location and services, as well as cost and availability. Try to narrow your list of options to between three and six communities. Or, if you are like Ginny, go with your intuition!
"I think that it's important to understand what's included in the monthly rental," says Wendy. "Can you get assistance right where you live, or do you have to move to another building or even a different area in the same building? What amenities are included?"
4. Plan Some Visits
"My advice to families is to not make an appointment. Go unannounced," says Wendy. "See what's happening when they're not expecting you. Do people look engaged? Do they seem to have a high quality of life?"
Try to arrange a visit that's at least an hour — and more is better. You'll want to tour the community, talk to residents and staff, and possibly have a meal in the dining area. Be sure to spend enough time to get a real sense of the day-to-day workings and atmosphere of the community. If you haven't found what you're looking for within the first three visits, it's time to schedule the next three on your short list.

Saga and the achievements of an academic institution
Prof Jairos Kangira
World-class universities such as the University of Oxford, University of Harvard, Cambridge University, University of Melbourne, University of Cape Town, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have extraordinary institutional sagas that have shaped their trajectories of academic excellence over the years.
To a novice, the word saga may seem confusing as it is normally associated with some horrible and distasteful events or happenings. Saga is often associated with something negative or scandalous.
No, saga is not used in these senses when talking about institutional saga or organisational saga.
The positive meaning the word saga has as I use it here is never thought of in most cases. In the term institutional saga, a saga is a story or narrative of an institution or an organisation that is initiated by either an individual or a group of people. A saga is something good; it is a story or a narrative that its believers strictly adhere to in pursuit of excellence, academic excellence in this case. An institutional saga is an ideology that unites its believers because the believers, players and stakeholders have shared and common beliefs about the institution, and they have values that revolve around excellence in their operations and actions. For a university as an organisation to succeed and achieve the prestige, it must have what has been termed a cadre of followers which rallies around the core values and beliefs of the institution which are couched on excellence. The initiators of a saga begin by setting values, beliefs and best practices for the organisation/university which the followers have to adhere to strictly for the common goal. The values and beliefs of universities and other organisations are usually spelt out in their mission and vision statements, and mottoes. The slogans or maxims of the institutions give a direction which the institutions follow, a direction that inspires everyone to achieve their best for the sake of the institutions. When an institution has developed a strong saga, all its members are expected to rally around the saga to propel the institution to greater heights. Newly recruited staff members are expected to follow the institution's shared values and beliefs or else they have to leave the organisation because they cannot fit in it.
The high quality of tertiary education is one of the crucial forces for development in any country in this knowledge-based economy. Nations that have invested towards raising the standard of their tertiary education have succeeded in improving the standard of living of their citizens.
While the quality of tertiary education depends on a number of factors – financial resources, availability of highly qualified and committed academics, training, state-of-the art equipment and infrastructure, among others – the organisational or institutional sagas of higher education institutions play a key role in both the quality of education and reputation of the institutions. The university creates what is called a faculty cadre of believers which protects the institution from newcomers who might want to derail the institution from its commitment of excellence. The alumni of the university and all its stakeholders assist in propagating its saga to the local and international communities.
What universities should be careful about is that their sagas can be weakened or completely destroyed if the faculty cadre of believers weakens or leaves. Some universities in the region which had strong sagas are down on their knees due to socio-economic and political issues in their countries. These universities were the jewels of Africa's tertiary education.
Higher education institutions in Namibia need to do an introspection of their sagas and map out their trajectories into the future. It is crucial to note that sagas are not developed overnight. The values and beliefs of the university must be shared by all academics and stakeholders for the institution to progress in the right direction. Academics, students and stakeholders should feel goaded by the desire for loyalty to their university; they must uphold all the values and beliefs of the institution. They become emotional about their allegiance to the saga of the institution; this affective aspect of the saga is what brings unity in its believers.
The believers of the saga want to see the institution progress against all odds; those who cannot cope with the demands of the saga find themselves out of the system in one way or the other. The drivers of the sagas, who are usually senior academic staff who have gone through the mill of higher education and know what works and what does not work, provide guidance in the development of the saga.
A strong saga creates a strong bond between academics, alumni and stakeholders, and their institution of higher education. There is no doubt that institutional saga is key to the quality of education that higher education institutions provide. A strong cadre of followers is crucial in the development of academic excellence in a university.

Singing is something I enjoy doing. Growing up I was lucky enough to sing in a children's choir at church that turned into a Youth group as we all grew older. Now I sing in the choir at my church. Occasionally I sing solo as I did this morning, and last Sunday.

TRINITY, N.C. — During the holiday season, you hear a lot about porch pirates, but what about porch angels?
One woman is living up to the name.
After dozens of mis-delivered packages were dropped on her door step, Heather Heath decided to take matters into her own hands.
RELATED: Minutes after package dropped off, person seen taking it from Greensboro front porch, homeowner says
"Usually they're piled up here or they're stuck behind the mums or they're behind the door right here," said Heath.
Heath says 26 Amazon prime packages were supposed to be delivered to her neighbors homes, but were dropped off at her house instead.
That prompted a sign. It's a piece of ply-wood with spray painted letters posted in her yard.
The sign encourages delivery drivers to check the address on the package before dropping it at her house.

She says it happened over the course of 3 weeks. She made sure every single package went to its rightful owner.
"I take them all inside and put them on the kitchen table and I just organize them and drive up the street and just deliver them," said Heath.
Heath takes the time out of her day to do the opposite of what porch pirates do - placing packages instead of stealing them.
She's making sure to spread kindness this season.
"Christmas is magical," said Heath, "Christmas is three weeks away and there's little kids or that special someones need that gift under the tree."
We reached out to Amazon. A representative with Amazon said they're looking into it.
WFMY News 2 will update this story as more information becomes available.

You might be wondering why I am so excited about the discovery of a zucchini pizza base? Well, as you already know I follow the low fodmap diet and I am also gluten intolerant, so it is pretty tough finding a great gluten free pizza base. Secondly, I am also carb intolerant/insulin resistant (you can read about this here) and this means that I need to get very creative when it comes to pizza crusts. Continue reading

Konjac noodles: are they low fodmap?
If you are looking for a low fodmap alternative to pasta that it is also grain free, then one product that I recommend and personally use is konjac noodles.
Flaxseeds and linseeds on the low fodmap diet
There has been a lot of debate on various blogs and message boards lately about whether flaxseed (also known as linseed) is a low fodmap ingredient. Monash University in Australia are yet to conduct their fodmap research on this ingredient alone however they have analysed LSA which is a blend of linseed (flaxseed), sunflower seeds and almonds.

Why you need to avoid Natvia & Truvia
Natvia (and Truvia in the US) is a sugar free blend of stevia and erythritol and you may have noticed that they are starting to become very popular in the supermarket as a sugar replacement and also as an ingredient in many processed food items such as muesli bars, jams and chocolate. Personally, I don't have anything against Natvia, I think it is a great sugar alternative for the general public. However for those of us who suffer from IBS it MUST BE AVOIDED! And this is why… Continue reading
Zucchini Fritters – low fodmap, packed full of nutrition and oh-so delicious
I am supposed to be studying, but I'm not. I just couldn't wait to share this amazing recipe with you all!
I hated zucchini for 32 years of my life until I started the low fodmap diet and realised it was one of the limited low fodmap vegetables. Now I love it, although I still won't eat it steamed. I grate it into absolutely everything, which is why when I saw this recipe today I had to try it straight away and it was easy to convert it to be fodmap friendly. I'll show you how… Continue reading
Why I 'pass' on the bread
This is a post that I have been wanting to write for a while now as I felt it was time to give an explanation as to why I follow a low carb diet as well as a diet low in fodmaps and free of gluten. A close friend said to me early last year: "what is there left for you to eat?" Well, if you take out grains, processed foods and sugar then we are left with the simple things that people have been eating for many thousands of years – vegetables, meat, eggs, a little fruit. And lets not forget chocolate which deserves its own food group (do you remember that I make my own chocolate without sugar?). Continue reading
