How to Lead Like Jesus
What can you learn from Jesus as a leader?
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Leaders define reality by developing a worldview and perspective that enable them to interpret life from the eternal vantage point of God's truth.
The truth, even when it's hard, sets people free from ignorance and deception.
Reflect on these truths from Scripture as you evaluate your role as leader in your home, workplace, church, or among your peers.
1. Leaders submit themselves to the ultimate Leader, God. (Mark 3:14)
2. Leaders develop teams in community, sharing life and responsibilities and gaining strength from mutual encouragement and accountability. (Matthew 7:28-29)
3. Leaders equip and release those they lead. They provide the wisdom and experience necessary, then let go and allow others to take responsibility for the tasks. (Luke 10:17, 20)
4. Leaders have a clear sense of mission and dedicate themselves to fulfilling that mission. (Acts 1:8)
5. Leaders accept expressions of genuine love and gratitude. (Matthew 26:37-38)
6. Leaders are vulnerable. (John 13:1, 4-5)
From TouchPoints for Leaders by Ronald A. Beers, V. Gilbert Beers, and Douglas J. Rumford
Helping readers find what God has to say about their particular needs is what the TouchPoints series is all about. TouchPoints for Leaders puts God's words of encouragement and affirmation at the fingertips of today's Christian leaders. Each section starts with a key question, which is answered through Scripture, and ends with a promise from God's Word.

The Michigan rap group Insane Clown Posse filed suit on Wednesday against the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, saying that the United States government had made the "unwarranted and unlawful decision" to classify fans of the band as criminal gang members, leading to their harassment by law enforcement and causing them "significant harm."
The lawsuit was filed in Federal District Court in Michigan by lawyers for the band and for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan. Plaintiffs include the Insane Clown Posse founders Joseph Bruce and Joseph Utsler, who perform under the stage names Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, and whose fans call themselves Juggalos.
Also listed as plaintiffs are four Juggalos from Nevada, California, North Carolina and Iowa, who offered details of incidents in which they said they had been subjected to police harassment or other punishments because of their identification with Insane Clown Posse.
"Among the supporters of almost any group — whether it be a band, sports team, university, political organization or religion — there will be some people who violate the law," the lawsuit said.
It added: "However, it is wrong to designate the entire group of supporters as a criminal gang based on the acts of a few. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened here."
The seeds of this lawsuit were sown in 2011, when the F.B.I.'s National Gang Intelligence Center published a report that described Juggalos as "a loosely organized hybrid gang" whose members were "expanding into many U.S. communities."
The report, titled "National Gang Threat Assessment: Emerging Trends," cited a 2011 incident in which "two suspected Juggalo associates were charged with beating and robbing an elderly homeless man," and another in 2010 in which "a suspected Juggalo member" shot and wounded two other people.
The report also included a photograph of a woman described as a "Juggalo member," wearing face paint similar to the kind used by Insane Clown Posse and pointing a gun at the camera.
In its lawsuit, Insane Clown Posse said that, even more than other hip-hop artists whose music "uses very harsh language to tell nightmarelike stories with an underlying message that horrible things happen to people who choose evil over good," the band's own songs offered "hopeful, life-affirming themes about the wonders of life and the support that Juggalos give to one another."
Mark Parsons, a Juggalo from Las Vegas and one of the plaintiffs listed in the suit, said in the complaint that he had been detained in July by state troopers outside Knoxville, Tenn., for displaying Insane Clown Posse's insignia, known as "the hatchet man," on his semi truck.
Another plaintiff, Scott Gandy, from Concord, N.C., said that he was told at an Army recruitment office in 2012 that he could not join the military without removing his Juggalo tattoos, which a recruiter told him were "gang-related." Mr. Gandy said he spent "hundreds of dollars to undergo a painful procedure in which his Juggalo tattoos were covered with other tattoos," but his application to the Army was still denied.
Robert Hellin, a Juggalo and an Army corporal from Garner, Iowa, said in the suit that he "has visible ICP-related tattoos," and that he believes that he is "in imminent danger of suffering discipline or an involuntary discharge from the Army."
Mr. Bruce and Mr. Utsler said that they had had an Insane Clown Posse concert canceled in 2012 at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Michigan. They said the local police department had requested the show's cancellation and had "cited the federal Juggalo gang designation" in doing so.
Insane Clown Posse filed an earlier lawsuit against the F.B.I. in 2012, seeking the documents that the bureau had used to reach its determination that Juggalos should be classified as a gang. Federal authorities filed a motion to dismiss this suit in August, saying that they had already shared much of this material.

1. Get Blowdried
Not all of us can afford to visit the hairdresser every four weeks, relying on at-home colouring kits and last minute cut-price appointments. However, a blowdry costs next to nothing in comparison - especially as blowdry bars are popping up all over the country. You can grab a whole new style or look, injecting life and glamour into your hair for a special occasion, within thirty minutes and often for less than £25.00. Having a great blowdry from an expert stylist sometimes negates the need for a complete hair overhaul, while making you feel like a million dollars.
2. Treated Tootsies
One of my favourite things to do when I'm getting stressed and overworked is to go for a pedicure. At-home treatments are never the same and never last as long, while there's something just a bit special about having someone care to your every foot need. It's one of the only treatments I book regularly, especially in the summer months when my feet are frequently on show. Experiencing a pampering pedicure can leave you feeling like you're walking on air, as well as providing a good hour to sit back with a magazine and coffee while someone else does the hard work.
3. Afternoon Tea For Three
This could be my favourite thing ever. Afternoon tea provides the perfect excuse to munch away on endless sandwiches, cakes and treats, sip on some delicious tea and catch up with loved ones. The small portions make it way more fun than a normal lunchtime, plus it's an extra meal in the day with no excuses needed. You can get some incredible afternoon teas in London from only £20.00 per person, providing a huge amount of food and oodles of entertainment if you visit one of the luxurious hotels and venues that offer the service.
4. Girlie Sleepovers
It may seem a little 1995, but girlie sleepovers are a great way to spend a Friday night. Invite your friends over in their best onesie, put on Legally Blonde/Clueless/Mean Girls, catch up over a glass or two of wine and make the most of the time to chillax. Make the most of the downtime by applying a face mask, giving eachother manicures and even applying some of Dove's new Purely Pampering Nourishing Body Oil to hands and feet for an even more preening. You'll wake up looking and feeling fabulous.
5. Personal Shopping
We've all dreamed of being Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, walking down Rodeo Drive armed with bags of extravagant purchases, so why not take an afternoon to re-enact it? Most department stores offer a free personal shopping experience, providing you with a helping hand and a personal stylist to recommend outfits and looks you may not have previously thought of. All you have to do it book a slot and rock up, being greeted with a glass of champagne and a willing right-hand-woman for the afternoon. Although some do require a minimum purchase, it's a great experience if you're looking for a wedding outfit or new season wardrobe.
Do you have any other favourite ways to give yourself a pamper and a bit of 'me time' without spending a fortune? I'd love to know... Mainly so I can get involved!
The Dove 'Purely Pampering' Week is sponsored by Dove.
The Purely Pampering Nourishing Oil is available in Pistachio & Magnolia and Shea Butter & Vanilla variants, priced £8.99 each and available from Boots, Tesco and ASDA.

All is well.
Play is good. Last time I wrote, I shared that McKenna wouldn't play alone if Brayden or Kaitlyn were home. She will now. I didn't do anything special. My guess is she has gotten used to them being home all of the time and isn't worried about them leaving or something.
Sleeping is going well. A new development for her is she is now sharing a room with Kaitlyn. See Room Sharing Log for more.
We had some sickness in the last couple of months. The first was Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. It hit her pretty well. She had no fever, but she had the blisters in her mouth, on her hands, on her bottom, and on her feet. She complained of a sore mouth when eating, but it didn't stop her from eating.
During this sickness, she also got an ear infection. This was made obvious by her oozing ear since she has tubes in her ears.
During the sickness, we completely quarantined ourselves in the house to prevent getting people sick. It worked--even our neighbors did not get sick from us. I about went crazy, but at least we didn't get anyone sick.
Swimming lessons were improving as I shared last time, then just before she got sick, she had a lesson where she just cried and cried the whole time. Her teacher suggested we drop her off and then go up to the bleachers where she couldn't see us during her lesson. Her teacher thought she was being stubborn because she could see us. My husband worried about that, but I felt good about it so we decided to try it for the next lesson and evaluate from there.
It was about two weeks before we could go again due to our HFM Disease running through the children. When we got there, I took her to her teacher, then we all went upstairs. She spent the first few minutes doing what her teacher asked, but crying and looking around for us. After 5 minutes or so, she stopped crying and just did her lesson.
The next lesson, we did the same thing. When we got there, she was upset and told me she didn't want to put her head under the water and I talked to her about why ("because I don't want to") and told her she knows how--her teacher said she does everything correctly when she is in the water. Then her teacher took her and I left. She was instantly fine and was not only not crying, but she was laughing her head off and having a good time. When her lesson was over, she decided it would be fun to jump into the pool over and over again for about 40 minutes--with her head going under the water. So not only has our new strategy helped her focus on the lesson, it has helped her get over her mental block against head in water.
McKenna seems to be quite athletic and she is also typically fearless, so I think from this point she will likely move forward rather quickly.
Our dog died from cancer this last month. McKenna took it rather hard. For more on this, see Dealing With the Death of a Pet.
7:15-7:30--Wake up and eat breakfast. She then can play with siblings. Right now, I like them to play outsisde after breakfast so they get some outside play in before it gets too hot.
9:00--Get ready and chores
10:00--Learning Poster and read stories
10:30--Independent Play
11:30--Free play with siblings
1:00--Learning activity and free play with sibling if time
4:00 or 4:30--Get up--TV Time
6:00--Family Activities

Provisions of the Agreement
The Public Service Agreement includes provisions for the speedy resolution of disputes, using the State's existing dispute resolution machinery (Labour Relations Commission (LRC),Labour Court, Conciliation and Arbitration Schemes). These provisions emphasise the importance of seeking to resolve disagreements promptly by setting out clear timelines for the dispute resolution process. Specifically, section 1.24 of the Agreement provides that:
"Where the parties involved cannot reach agreement in discussions on any matter under the terms of this agreement within 6 weeks, or another timeframe set by the Implementation Body to reflect the circumstances or nature of the particular matter, the matter will be referred by either side to the LRC and if necessary to the Labour Court…. The outcome from the industrial relations or arbitration process will be final. Such determination(s) will be made within 4 weeks, or another timeframe set by the Implementation Body to reflect the circumstances or nature of the particular matter."
In addition, section 1.24 also provides that "The outcome from the industrial relations or arbitration process will be final".
The role of the Implementation Body
Section 1.21 of the Agreement provides that "the Body will provide the forum for interpretation and implementation difficulties arising from the relevant Sectoral Agreements….. prior to any decision on referral on any issue for mediation and/or arbitration."
In the event that one or more parties argue that the Agreement does not apply to a dispute, it is appropriate that the Court should determine whether the Agreement applies to the dispute in question.
The Body has been asked for assistance of this kind on a number of occasions and its replies are published here.
It is not the function of the Implementation Body to adjudicate on any disputes. In this context, the LRC and Labour Court(or the Arbitraton Board in the case of groups comprehended by schemes of Conciliation and Arbitration) will continue to perform their normal function of resolving disputes. This may involve reviewing the terms of the Agreement and interpreting how they apply to the facts of the dispute.
The Body wrote to the Labour Court about how disputes should be handled. There have been a number of Labour Court hearings about matters related to the Croke Park Agreement. Further information on relevant Labour Court rulings is available on the Court's website.
The role of the Sectoral Implementation bodies in dispute resolution
The primary focus of any sectoral body is to drive implementation of the Agreement at the sectoral level.
The relevant sectoral implementation body should, as a preliminary matter, be made aware of any disputes arising at the time of initial discussions, to the extent of ensuring that disputes are managed appropriately and in particular, to avoid a number of individual disputes on similar issues being referred to the industrial relations machinery.
A sectoral implementation body may also have a role if a party to a dispute raises a fundamental issue about the intention of the parties when they agreed to a particular clause of a Sectoral Agreement. In the event that the sectoral body is unable to resolve any such issues arising, or where the matter has implication beyond the sector in question, the matter should be referred to the Implementation Body for interpretation.

Ex-Valeant, Philidor execs charged with fraud, conspiracy
Valeant said that charges have not been filed "at this time" against it, its former chief executive or chief financial officers or current executives. Following subsequent revelations, several insurers terminated contracts with Philidor, and Valeant cut ties with the pharmacy. In emails the men exchanged, Davenport "evoked images from the old Western "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, ' [and] talked about how they would 'ride in the sunset" together", the complaint noted.

Music Tech Startups, Grammy® Awards and Music and Brand Integration News, November 10, 2013
Music business analysts discussed why small tech startups could prompt the beginning of the best years the music industry has ever seen. Also The Grammys announced prizes and opportunities for aspiring artists. And The Independent explored how commercial brand sponsorship is helping the British music industry rebound.
Will Small Tech Startups Rejuvenate Music?
"We're in the early stages of the best days the music industry has ever seen." This was the declaration of business expert Rocco Pendola of The Street, who said he believes despite battles over royalties, changes in the music business climate could be headed towards a time of prosperity, led by the many entrepreneurs who are embracing new trends in digital technology.
Pendola added that the revolution will not only be led by giants like Pandora and Spotify, but also smaller, tech-minded companies like Patreon, Kickstarter and live show platform Concert Window, run by musician and entrepreneur Dan Gurney of the indie band The Yanks, who runs a blog chronicling his life as a working musician and recently wrote a post about emerging business models.
Gurney observed, "But here's what's happening: the music industry is undergoing a fundamental transition. The old model of record labels and other intermediaries is going away. Thanks to the Internet and the level playing field it creates, musicians can now communicate directly with their fans, and that's a new dynamic … As the intermediaries are disappearing, power is shifting to the musicians."
He added that one of the best things about new business models that are emerging is that they take out the "middleman," give musicians more control over their own revenues and allow them to personally honor the fans that support them: "Because here's what the old model didn't appreciate: fans want to support musicians. As long as there isn't a monolithic, cold-hearted middleman in the way."
And Pendola concluded that while musicians and record label executives are looking for Apple to fix everything, its ultimate focus on selling hardware will prevent it from affecting the change necessary to raise music revenue: "Apple rides both sides of the fence – between downloads and the access model … This company is nimble enough to shift to wherever the consumer market shifts. Plus the revenue it derives from selling music means little, if anything, to it … for Apple, it's all about selling hardware."
Grammys Presenting Prizes to Aspiring Musicians in 2014
The Recording Academy will be giving out awards to aspiring and emerging artists as part of next year's Grammy® Awards, reported The Wall Street Journal.
The Academy will be taking submissions for the contest – co-sponsored by Hyundai Motor Co. – from the public for the next five weeks on its site GrammyUAmplifier.com. Submitted acts will be competing for a list of prizes, including a recording session with a top producer and the chance to be an opening act on a major tour or music festival. Contest judges will be rap artist Kendrick Lamar, pop icon Ariana Grande, jazz pianist Robert Glasper and country star Hunter Hayes, who will choose their top-three favorite songs, based in part on how well they perform on social media.
The program was first launched in 2012 and is an attempt to reach younger fans, according to an Academy spokeswoman. Academy President Neil Portnow said it is also part of an initiative to better develop "the next generations of music majors," as he feels that school music programs are in "such a pathetic state."
The Grammy-attached contest for new artists is open to anyone 13 and above, but Portnow stated the Academy is particularly focused on college students and will be sending out special notices through the "Grammy U" program being operated on hundreds of college campuses nationwide.
Winners will not accept awards on national television as part of the Grammy®s. But Hyundai spokesman David Matathia said they will be promoting last year's winners in the months leading up to the awards ceremony, releasing footage from winners' festival performances and recordings through the Hyundai's social media channels.
Commercial Brand Sponsorship Re-Energizing UK's Music Business
UK brands injected significant money into the music industry in 2012 – £100 million, cited The Independent. And this amount is up six percent from 2011, according to a study conducted by PRS for Music.
Fifteen years ago, this type of collaboration was often seen as "selling out" by musicians, but it has now become a critical revenue stream for big names like Professor Green, Avicii, Jay Z and even for growing numbers of indie artists.
Professor Green, who has been working with major energy drink producer Relentless for 18 months explained, "[In] the music business, all you'll hear everyone talk about is how different things are … There's not as much money in certain areas and really it's just trying to find ways to move things forward."
And he added that the fact that brands are making an effort to reach fans in interesting ways has also helped make the experience more appealing to fans. And this helps artists get access to new marketing techniques and also personalize relationships. And the brand-artist partnership also helps reach new potential customers.
Many record labels have added on teams dedicated primarily to managing deals between artists and brands. Universal Records' Marc Robinson said the goal is to bring in more money in a time when everything in the industry is changing: "Everyone thought file-sharing was the death of the music industry but actually it has given us a whole new lease of life … There are so many different platforms and ways to communicate music to get it heard … Working with brands sometimes brings platforms that we won't get through traditional media."
Dom Hodge of branding company Frukt iterated, "The traditional ways artists have made money has changed. They need new income and brands can give them that income … But also I think artists are wanting to do interesting new things and brands can give them the money to try those things out." His company helped with the study conducted by PRS for Music that revealed the amount of money injected into British music in 2012.
Hodge also revealed, "Over the last five or six years it has really exploded and particularly over the last 24 months … Almost every artist in pop, and increasingly outside of that, is working with brands in some way."
But Professor Green clarified that while artists working with brands is not as frowned upon by fans anymore, they still need to be selective about the partnerships they establish: "You can't be financially driven … It becomes very obvious to people if you say yes to everything and you do things purely for the money despite not having any belief in what you're endorsing."

The Record (http://www.troyrecord.com)
Friday, August 4, 2017
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> Trainer Gary Contessa is both excited and realistic about the rich Whitney Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga.
The 90th edition of the prestigious event, worth $1.2 million at 1 1/8 miles on the main track, has drawn a field of seven including the mighty Gun Runner, considered one of the top horses in the world.
He sends out Tu Brutus for Winning Move Stable and partners, with Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard.
"He's a really good horse, just a REALLY good horse," said Contessa. "If Gun Runner has a bad day, this could be a wide open race. Tu Brutus came off the boat and ran a 118 Beyer, comes back and runs a 108 and wins eased up. And then he's sick in the Brooklyn."
The 5-year-old was acquired late last year from Chile, and Contessa was referring to his Beyer Speed Figures from his three races so far in this country.
The 118 is the highest of any Whitney entrant and he earned it finishing second in the Excelsior Handicap at Aqueduct in April.
Tu Brutus then won the Flat Out Stakes by 11 widening lengths prior to his third in the Brooklyn.
He exited the Brooklyn with a severe throat infection.
Although he scratched Tu Brutus from the Birdstone Stakes on Thursday, Contessa said the Whitney was in his plans for some time.
The Birdstone option was considered in case he decided to run in the Woodward at the end of this meeting.
"When the Whitney began to materialize, we began to think this might be the Grade 1 race we'd want to take a shot in," said Contessa. "This is a good horse, a stakes winner clockwise and counter-clockwise, turf and dirt. And he is 'Mr. Cool, Calm, and Collected' in his training. All business."
Contessa noted that an unusually strong work at Palm Meadows last winter showed Tu Brutus possessed a combination of speed and stamina.
"And I believe he will rate if necessary, because he showed that in Chile," he said.
Gun Runner makes the second start of his career at the Spa.
He was third in last year's Travers, 15 lengths behind Arrogate, and narrowed that margin to 2 ¼ lengths when second to him in the Dubai World Cup on Mar. 25.
He comes off a powerful victory in the Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs on June 17.
Breaking Lucky also makes his second start here, having finished fourth, beaten a neck, in a blanket finish in last year's Woodward.
He has been on the board behind Gun Runner in the Clark and Foster handicaps at Churchill Downs, and is also entered in the Alydar Stakes at Saratoga on Sunday.
Keen Ice figures to have a say in the Whitney, having broken a long losing streak while winning the Suburban Handicap on July 8 at Belmont Park in his last.
He is famous for upsetting Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in the Travers Stakes two years ago.
Completing the Whitney field are War Story, Cautious Giant, and Discreet Lover.
The Grade 1 Test Stakes, for 3-year-old fillies, and a trio of turf stakes sponsored by Fasig-Tipton Company complement the Whitney.
The 7-furlong Test is headed by California fillies Faypien and American Gal. The former has won three straight, including the Summer Oaks at Santa Anita, while the latter returns to New York after winning the Victory Ride Stakes at Belmont Park on July 9.
The Fasig-Tipton Waya, at 1 ½ miles for females, is headed by multiple graded stakes winner Suffused, who captured the Glens Falls last year at Saratoga.
The quality field also includes recent stakes winners Apple Betty and Guilty Twelve.
The Fasig-Tipton De La Rose, for females at one mile, is topped by On Leave and Sassy Little Lila.
On Leave won the Perfect Sting in her last, while Sassy Little Lila was a close second in the Grade 1 Just A Game at this distance.
The Fasig-Tipton Lure, for older males at one mile, features Ring Weekend, who set a new course record for 1 1/16 miles while winning the Bernard Baruch last year at Saratoga.
The favorite in the Lure is Projected, who is in top form this year and exits a pair of close seconds in graded stakes at Pimlico and Belmont.
Camelot Kitten should not be overlooked by virtue of his win in the Hall of Fame Stakes last year at the Spa.

CERES -- Emil Adam knew he'd have eight months in the United States to find work before he'd lose the benefits he's entitled to as an Iraqi war refugee.
That timeline seemed inconsequential to the 51-year-old physician when he prepared for the journey in Lebanon last year.
"I didn't care for the eight months," he remembered thinking, "because I am going to the U.S., the master of the world. I will get a job."
His deadline is just four weeks away, and Adam still can't find steady work.
His dreams for a stable life in America are colliding with the country's worst economic recession since World War II.
"This is our luck," said Adam, who fled Iraq with his wife and three daughters when sectarian violence in their south Baghdad neighborhood made life unbearable.
"I am ready to work any job. I have to save my daughters," he said. "I am ready to work any job, but I can save patients."

Let's say you are Bugs Bunny, sitting in front of an assembly line of mortar shells. Every third one you hit with a hammer to be sure it is a dud. You don't know how many will come down the assembly line, but you are sampling 33% (for a while, anyway).

No argument from me there. Like any utility, I expect it all to just work, I shouldn't need advanced training in reading traces just to fix random problems with someone breathing down my neck.

Yes, erratic is the issue. But it does work most of the time, and tools exist to tell it what to do. There are a couple of different failure modes, you'd have to be advocating RBO to address the problem of app developers not being good as good as CBO at figuring out what the best plan is. The erratic behavior in production is mostly boundary conditions, CBO suddenly deciding to use an inappropriate plan. We only notice the fails there, not the vast majority of successes. (Of course I'm ignoring bind peeking and many other kewl things that are silly in retrospect - but known soon enough).
So there is a legitimate purpose to the kewl features of CBO, and that is to address the changing skew and distribution of data. The only thing that is really missing is a big red button to say "lock it down like so." There's too many little knobs and switches to do that, but you can. And you can't really ignore all the various ways a general purpose rdbms can be used and abused. Maybe it's too much to expect app vendors to tweak the knobs - no, make that definitely, they have no idea how the data for any customer is going to spread, and I'm sure most of us are no stranger to silliness in vendor requirements. That's the customer dba's responsibility. Bespoke developers should be expected to be able to do that, but we all know that's too much to ask.

Good example, but I'm not convinced that the general trend is not towards "better." The only real problem I see is Oracle not addressing the range of desire, some production environments value stability, predictability and quality more than others.
We had a power outage Sunday night, the power-protected server had to be bounced twice in order to fix the NFS mounts that got screwed up (there's probably some way to get around that, but it's so rare the sysadmins haven't figured it out yet) which bothered Oracle not at all, but a SS database on another server was corrupted, which of course was something visible corporate wide the next morning (active directory or something).

Helmut Newton and Bettina Rheims exhibition at Art Gallery of NSW
MiSociety February 6th, 2013
* SYDNEY Art
Helmut Newton and Bettina Rheims – over 50 works by two iconic fashion photographers at Art Gallery of NSW
- 9 February – 19 May 2013
- Free
The fashion of Helmut Newton and Bettina Rheims presents two photographers whose work during the late 20th century was pivotal to the progression of fashion imagery into the 21st century – Helmut Newton (1920–2004) and Bettina Rheims (1952–).
Helmut Newton and Bettina Rheims, despite the generation difference, explored the construction of gender identity through their photography. They challenged the conventional representations of women, but also – particularly in Rheims' case – men.
Art Gallery of NSW has a significant collection of Helmut Newton photographs. The 20 works in this exhibition are taken from the most important period of Newton's career, the 1970s and '80s. Newton is exemplary in his ability to expose the intimate connections between sex, clothes, gender, class, voyeurism and photography itself in his representations of women.
Bettina Rheims' celebrated series Modern Lovers of 1990 will be presented with more than 30 photographs, This series marked an important shift in Rheims' work, which had previously focused on a much more conventionally feminine depiction of women. In Modern Lovers, however, Rheims employs a neutral grey background and uses models scouted from the street, the oldest of whom was 20, to depict an androgynous image of youth.

Globally, stand up plastic pouches sold about 40 billion units in 2011, making the pack type one of the most dynamic in terms of growth. Karine Dussimon, senior packaging analyst at Euromonitor, states that pouches are most prominent in food, but can also be found in the pet food, beverages, and home and personal care categories. There are opportunities for pouches in emerging markets such as Latin America and Asia Pacific where the pouch is still a relatively unconsidered alternative to rigid plastic containers.

Apple's new iPad hasn't even been on store shelves for much more than a month, but already the device is taking the world by storm. Sales are skyrocketing, Apple is having trouble keeping up with demand, and just about every analyst believes it'll be the company's top-selling tablet of all time. And all the while, competitors are wondering why they can't quite keep up.
When one looks at what the new iPad comes with, it's easy to see why Apple has been so successful. The tablet boasts 4G LTE connectivity and Apple's Retina Display. Add that to an improved camera and the fact that Apple itself is selling the slate, and it's no wonder the new iPad is dominating the tablet space.
But for many customers that have yet to buy the new iPad, perhaps it's a good time to consider holding off. Everyone knows that Apple will launch a new iPad next year, and that device will likely come with many of the features customers had hoped would be available in the new iPad. Simply put, the iPad 4 might just be the tablet to buy.
Flip through the following pages to find out why:
One of the biggest issues with the new iPad is that it doesn't support Siri. Instead, Apple launched the device with voice dictation, providing some of Siri's features but not all of them.
In the iPad 4, expect Apple to offer Siri. The software is the future of Apple's user experience, and it must eventually be made available on the company's tablet.
There has been much talk about Apple eventually launching an iPad with a bigger display. The new iPad comes with the same 9.7-inch screen found in previous iterations, but adds Retina display support.
As more tablets launch with bigger screen sizes -- Toshiba just announced a 13-inch slate, for example -- Apple might have no choice but to deliver a bigger screen in the iPad 4. And consumers and enterprise users can capitalize on that.
Apple has positioned the new iPad as a replacement for the laptop. But in order for the iPad 4 to be considered a true laptop replacement, it'll need to come with far more storage than what is available right now. Expect one of Apple's iPad 4 models to come with 128GB of storage -- and the enterprise to jump at the chance to store more content on the slate.

Yellowman DVD
Nigel Montego | Orange County, California | 04/11/2007
(1 out of 5 stars)
"I was/am disappointed. Maybe I recieved a bad copy?? The DVD is grainy and the sound is degraded. The first song has several "skips" in it. I have not sat and actually watched the entire DVD because of the poor quality of the first 15 minutes but I expect that the DVD does not improve as is continues. There was a nice suprise inside though: a CD and a pack of flavored rolling papers... I'm new to Amazon, so I haven't looked into the return policy... but, I need to return this one...."
Yellowman at his best!
Scott Brown | 04/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Ok, so the video quality is a little spotty in certain areas...but crank this dvd up and enjoy the true essence of Yellowman; this dvd is awesome!!! I learned about this one when I saw "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" from this dvd on another reggae concert compilation. Fantastic sound quality (since we all know that most reggae concert dvds are hit and miss sometimes). This is Yellowman's only concert dvd, and it's well worth it. Highly recommended for reggae lovers who are maybe more into the roots aspect, with some early dancehall stuff intertwined. Not hardcore like Beenie Man or Elephant Man, but plenty of good material to keep both roots AND dancehall fans very happy."

School Workshops
We run a number of educational (and fun) candle-making workshops for schools and in return donate part of the proceeds to the school's PTA fund.
Children Workshops
A fun, practical and interactive approach to learning that can complement the National Curriculum in Science, History, Religious Studies and Geography.
We teach children the skills of candle-making and align them with learning in the classroom. Students keep the candles they make to remember the activity and reinforce their learning.
Teacher Workshops
We also run workshops and parties for adults, which is a great way for teachers to learn a new skill as well! These can be run as a team building workshops or as a party, or fun social evening after school.
Candle-making Birthday Parties
Children make hand-poured candles using individual melters, adding dyes and fragrance oils. As the candles are setting each child decorates candle holders and packaging with paint, glitter and pretty gems. Best of all, the children take home a party bag filled with all the lovely candles they have made!
If your school can help promote our candle-making birthday parties or workshops e.g. by putting flyers into book bags or elsewhere where parents can see them – for every booking we receive we donate £10 towards the school's PTA.

The Jewel of A Waiting Banquet
"Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart" (Jeremiah 15:16, NKJV).
How do I know it is God speaking? That question has echoed through the ages.
Among the many excellent books written on the subject, one of the best in my estimation is "Hearing God" by my retired pastor, Rev. Peter Lord. In more than 50 years of ministry, he has helped many do just that, myself included. However, he cited a dilemma.
"One of the most common experiences I have in encouraging people to listen to God is that they hear him but cannot believe that it is really the Lord communicating with them." Such doubts have arisen in my mind. I compare them to a hungry orphan shivering in winter's cold outside a great mansion. She is gazing through its windows at a banquet table spread with a mouth-watering array of meat, buttery potatoes, vegetables, pastry and more. The orphan yearns for even one crumb and perhaps a moment to warm her icy hands at the crackling fireplace.
But she believes the feast, warmth and riches have been prepared for those far more important and worthy. She knows all too well, the dark mental corridors to which a hungry soul can stray. Certainly, the Master of this great place must know and would not want such a one at His table.
Our poor orphan does not see the truth—the "feast" and the sustenance it provides, illustrates the Bible and Jesus Christ, the living Word, becoming a part of us through His personal, rhema word, available to all who believe.
Does the orphan sound familiar? Are you stranded outside in the cold of doubt?
No matter what, you don't need to stay there. God's love can reach into the darkest corners of our hearts. Scripture assures us of His compassion. If our starving souls ask Him for bread, He will not give us stones.
This means we don't have to watch from the sidelines while others feast on God's goodness. The riches of His presence is not for an elite few, but for all who believe—the "heirs of salvation."
God would not have us hear His words second-hand, or crawl around the floor groping for crumbs. The doors to His house and heart are open and as near as a Bible, a prayer or a hunger for more.
God has many wonderful things to say to you. Your place is set at His table.
PEARL TO PONDER: To teach our congregation to establish communion with God, the Rev. Lord would ask, "What two qualities do you especially love about God?" After we had a minute to jot down our answers, he would then ask, "What two positive qualities do you think God loves about you?"
We were urged not to "think" about this, but to write what first comes to mind. If you can complete this exercise, it is likely you have communed with God and sampled the riches of His table.
LOVE NUGGET: "He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."

Student Leadership
East High School students are provided with a number of leadership opportunities. A few of these opportunities include student government (Kayla O'Connor), senior board (Kathy Clausen), and National Honor Society (Brian Koch). At East High, it is an expectation that students graduate with a world awareness and are actively engaged in their school and community. Student leadership activities provide students with this opportunity and the responsibility to actively engage and motive all students to get involved.
National Honor Society
The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation's premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS and NJHS. NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
Senior Board
Senior board is an elected group of seniors at East High School who share the responsibility of planning senior activities. The board is comprised of elected students who are actively involved in East High activities and who want to ensure graduating seniors have a final year to remember.
Student Government
Student government is a group of elected East High students, representing each grade level. Student government students lead efforts at East resulting from interests and ideas brought forth by the student body. Those involved in student government learn to organize resources and to work together to accomplish common goals benefiting East High School and the community.

2002 Newsletter
San Luis Obispo
Mothers for Peace
September 2002
142 N. Tassajara Drive
San Luis Obispo, CA 93405-1276
(805) 773-3881
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Our last letter informed you of PG&E's filings with the County of San Luis Obispo and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to expand the radioactive waste storage capability at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant by constructing a facility that would utilize a dry cask system. The eventual plan is to transfer these casks from the plant to a national waste repository (supposedly Yucca Mountain in Nevada) by barge/rail/truck. (To find out how far you live from the proposed transportation route, go to www.mapscience.org)
In response to PG&E's filings, the Mothers for Peace has joined with other community groups and individuals to intervene in this case. Eight contentions (objections) were filed with the NRC on July 19th. These contentions involve the seismic issue (the nuclear plant is situated 2 ½ miles from the Hosgri fault), financial concerns (PG&E is in bankruptcy), the potential for terrorism, and other environmental problems. The NRC held a Prehearing Conference on September 10th and 11th to determine which contentions will be accepted for full hearings. The judges' decision is expected in a few weeks.
This legal intervention is part of a larger plan to attempt to stop production of nuclear waste at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The pools which currently store its spent fuel will reach capacity by the year 2006. Our goal is to close the plant at that time. You can help in a variety of ways:
*donate money to help pay the expenses of litigation - legal fees and the costs of experts (Your donation is tax-deductible.)
*attend Mothers for Peace meetings
*attend events such as the pre-hearing conference
*call and take on organizational tasks, errands, phone calling...
The community must act now to protect its families and environment from continued production of lethal radioactive waste that will pose a threat for decades, centuries, or longer. Thank you for your support.
Community Intervenors: Avila Valley Advisory Council, Supervisor Peg Pinard, Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club, Surfrider of San Luis Obispo and Ventura, Central Coast Peace and Environmental Council, San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, SLO Cancer Action Now, ECOSLO, Cambria Legal Defense Fund, Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, Santa Margarita Area Residents Together, Grandmothers for Peace

Hello, all! I am so VERY sorry it's been so long since I've been back here – two long years, to be exact (to the day, really). In that time, so much has happened:
I got a great job.
I had a baby (Yes, he's awesome and yes, he loves to eat. No, he does not love to sleep, so please send advice my way).
I left my great job.
I started upping my posts on the 'gram.
My blog's layout strangely changed and I never corrected it.
I got an iphone (really, this was the biggest leap for me. RIP, droid life).
And I never really came back to say farewell properly. So this is it.
Farewell to my amazing little engine that could. The blog that was an effort of love, that brought me so much joy and taught me so much. Thank you to any and all of my readers who may still be out there, for keeping this blog afloat. It's not going anywhere – It will always stick around. And I'm around on twitter and instagram (@fritosnfoie) as well as all over the interwebs on various sites under my married name (Sarah Spigelman Richter). Thank you so much for all the laughs, all the learning and all the awesome Fritos and foie.

Going back to nursing school
School starts this week. I am not prepared. Let me repeat, I am not prepared. This quarter may very well kill me, in which case I will be replaced by another blogger who may be more funny or insightful than I am. Which may be a good thing, but still, I don't want to die. But this quarter appears ominous.
The good thing is, I only have one book to buy. The bad thing is, that means there will be a million (yes, I said a million) articles to read. Reading, writing, thinking; repeat. Sometimes it's just too much! I remember going back to school when I was a kid and being excited! New books! New pencils! Peechee folders! I mean, it was great.
I got to see my friends; there was recess, lunch, playtime, P.E. and goofing around. Life was simple. Then I grew up and started having to pay insurance and property taxes. Going back to school is insanity! And yet I keep doing it.
They say that your PhD is your "terminal degree" since obviously, there is nothing beyond it. I'm starting to think that they call it "terminal" for another reason. Like maybe I'm not gonna make it out of here!

SOURCE: Family Federation for World Peace
January 31, 2014 10:51 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 31, 2014) - Unificationists in Japan are applauding the verdict of a Tokyo District Court that decided in favor of a member of their religion held against his will for 12 and a half years.
Mr. Toru Goto, 50, sued two professional deprogrammers, his brother, his sister and his sister-in-law for kidnapping him in September 1995 and holding him in various condo prisons until releasing him in an emaciated condition in February 2008. The court on Jan. 28, 2014 fined Goto's relatives and deprogrammer Takashi Miyamura an amount equivalent to $47,000.
The verdict was greeted with enthusiasm by human rights activists, who expressed hope that the verdict will represent an important precedent. "I am so very happy for him and all the victims of this horrible practice against human rights!" said Kathryn Cameron Porter, president of the Washington-DC-based Leadership Council for Human Rights.
Dan Fefferman, president of the International Coalition for Religious Freedom, added:
"We are hopeful that this will be a turning point for Japan. In the United States, deprogramming didn't come to an end until the courts made it clear that the perpetrators of this crime would be punished."
"This is welcome news indeed, and it brings our religious community in Japan one step closer to closing the sad chapter on forced conversions," said Dr. Michael Balcomb, President of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU) in the United States. "But the good news is that Mr. Toru Goto is a victor in the end, having recovered his dignity, found a good spouse and now has children. He is in the company of many American Unificationists who likewise survived deprogrammings -- though 30 years ago -- and today are watching their children get married in the Marriage Blessing of 2014."
Mr. Goto told the court he made many attempts to escape the condos where his relatives held him prisoner, but he was caught every time. In frustration, he went on three hunger strikes, each of 21 days or more. In retaliation, his captors stopped giving him solid food, and he was severely emaciated when they kicked him out of their apartment in 2008.
The ruling acknowledged that the professional deprogrammers performed a key role in guiding the Goto relatives to confine Toru Goto in an attempt to force him to recant. For decades, the professional deprogrammers have denied that they use coercion of any kind.
Following the ruling in his favor, Mr. Goto held a press conference at the Judicial Reporters Club in Tokyo together with the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Nobuya Fukumoto, and Mr. Mamoru Kamono, Director of Public Information for the FFWPU of Japan. "My heartfelt wish is that this will be of help in eradicating kidnapping and confinement," he said.
During the conference, Mr. Goto reflected on the three years since he filed the civil suit in January 2010, saying, "In the course of the trial, I had to recall the times of my confinement, which was painful, but I am pleased by the single point that the culpability of deprogrammer Mr. Takashi Miyamura was recognized."
He also reminded reporters that abductions of Unificationists continue in Japan.
"Among church members who visited their homes this New Year, some were kidnapped and are now being coerced to leave the church," Goto said. He added: "With the opportunity provided by this victory, I hope that Japan, which guarantees freedom and human rights, can at least become a country where people do not have to fear daily, being kidnapped and confined because of their faith."

Imagine this, you are inside a conference room having a very important business meeting regarding the future of your company, but right then and there, nature is calling you and you really have to go. This awkward situation is very, well, awkward and kind of unprofessional if you have to incessantly go making them wait for you.
Sounds too formal? Well, how about having to go to the bathroom every time your favorite show comes on and you always miss the best part? Does not sound good also, right?
An overactive bladder can cause all these embarrassment and discomfort. And this can lead to incontinence or the involuntary control over your urination.
For the young at heart who wants to put a stop to this ridiculously bathroom-going attitude, the best urinary bladder controller is here. Flotrol is an all-natural supplement that does not need any prescription for.
Because those who formulated Flotrol are concerned about the health of those who need Flotrol the most (older generation), Flotrol is made of herbal concoctions without the chemicals.
Flotrol Ingredients
Effectivity of the product can be attributed to the ingredients or formulation of the supplement. In Flotrol's case, the extracts of pumpkin seeds and soy germ extract work in a complementary motion.
We all know that different people react differently to medicines, Flotrol makes sure that you can cure your overactive bladder without having to worry about different body reactions or side effects. This is because of the natural ingredients, both of which have been clinically proven to be very effective in urinary tract problems.
If you think Flotrol is not working for you after taking it for several months, the best advice is to go to you doctor for check up. Your overactive bladder might be a sign of a different sickness already.
Flotrol Best Price
Because manufacturers want to give you the best minus your fear in trying something that might actually be better, offers regarding free bottles of the supplement are available all over the internet.
Many are offering free bottles if you buy your first bottles. However due to some site scams offering genuine Flotrols, make sure to check where you are ordering to get maximum promised benefits and avoid serious side effects these scams give off.
With Flotrol's best price, you get your money's worth without the discomfort and pain down there. You get your old life back, the one where your urinary tract does not interfere with your desired situation.
Think about this: free initial bottles, plus all natural ingredients, minus side effects, produces a "normal lifestyle without disruption or embarrassing moments," what else will you consider as the best price?
Order Flotrol with 2 free bottles here!

Zavvi customers given free PlayStations in error
Customers at online retailer Zavvi may have thought they had been handed an early Christmas present - when they ordered video game 'Tearaway' and got sent a PlayStation Vita instead.
Luke McGillen was one such customer - but Zavvi have been quick to warn him and others that they could face legal action if they did not send the machines back.
Luke told BBC Radio 5 live's Phil Williams that he "just wanted his money back" but consumer rights expert Fergus Muirhead warned that the law is "vague" in these situations.
Zavvi declined the right to comment and instead pointed the programme to advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau - which stated customers should hand the consoles back.
