Four people, including two children were killed and another child was hurt Friday morning when their small plane crashed while taking off from a relative's airstrip in Missouri, authorities said.
A Utah State Board of Education member, his wife and two of their children were among the dead.
Missouri State Highway Patrol spokesman Jeff Kinder said witnesses reported that the Beechcraft A-36 got about 100 feet off the ground before stalling in a rural area near Huggins. C. Mark Openshaw, 43, a member of the Utah education board since 2008, and his family were returning to their home in Provo, Utah after visiting relatives.
The other victims were identified as Openshaw's wife, Amy, 43; their 15-year-old son Tanner; and 12-year-old daughter Ellie. The couple's 5-year-old son was taken to a Springfield-area hospital in serious condition. Openshaw, a pilot who served on the Provo Municipal Airport Board, has two other surviving children.
Steve Gleason, the manager of the Provo Airport, said Openshaw was a "very experienced pilot," adding that he was "meticulous in the way he took care of his plane."
"He was just always happy and energetic and just a great guy," Gleason said. "It is a sad day for us."
Roy Burgess, a family friend who lives next to Openshaw's parents in Missouri, told KYTV that he walked outside to watch the takeoff and that Openshaw's mother and sider were on the highway waving at the plane.
"And I never did see it get above the trees," Burgess said. "All I can say is, 'I'm sorry; I'm sorry it happened. I'm going to miss them. They're good friends of mine. It's a tragic thing for this community. They're well known here.'"
Openshaw, who won a second four-year school board term in 2012, served as the chairman of the Law and Licensing Committee. Utah State Board of Education Chairman David Crandall praised Openshaw in a statement.
Crandall described him as "deeply passionate about Utah's public schools" and describing his death as "a significant loss to our community."
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert will appoint a replacement to serve out the remaining 18 months of Openshaw's term, with the consent of the Utah Senate. Herbert said Openshaw's service to the board was "exemplary."
Openshaw, a Brigham Young University graduate, also was involved in agriculture and ranching operations. Additionally, he was the co-founder and president of AirComUSA, a Provo-based telecommunications business that provides Internet faxing services.
Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board officials said the agencies are investigating the crash.

Millions of people spend their lives alone because they believe that there is only one person in the world that they could be happy with. They are holding out for their soul mate,
their one true love and they person that they think they should be spending the rest of their lives with. It's sad really, as by doing this they are cutting themselves of from relationships which could be productive and fulfilling. They have in their head that soul mate = true love, and as romantic as this ideal is, it is not always the case.
Soul mates come in many guises. They can be partners and lovers of course, but they could also be members of your immediate family, or in your close circle of friends. So, if a soul mate isn't all about finding the person your are supposed to spend the rest of your life with, just what is it?
In essence, a soul mate is another energy that we have walked the path of life with before. Somewhere in out past lives we have come together with this other energy and decided that together we can work through the life lessons that we set out for ourselves before we arrived on the earth plane. Of course once on this plane we have no recollection of those plans that we made, or who we made them with. We simply know that there is someone we are supposed to meet in this lifetime, someone important – and in many cases we spend our whole lives looking for the wrong person.
When you do meet your soul mate for the first time there should be some form of instant bond. You may share the same sense of humour, the same outlook on life or you may even feel that you have met them before. Occasionally, and only occasionally you will look into that persons eyes and know that you are going to spend the rest of your life with them. There is an instant connection, something unexplainable but something just so right. When that happens it is like something out of a romance novel, hard to grasp and difficult to understand but the connection between you is just too strong to ignore.
Is it possible then to have more than one soul mate? In theory of course it is! Why would we limit ourselves to forming just the one bond with someone that we have travelled with before? It makes sense that we would select several, if not many energies from our past lives to walk with us again, in the hopes that we can learn all it is that we set out to do right at the beginning.
The next time you hear someone talking about meeting Mr or Ms Right, remind them that their narrow vision is blinkering them to the possibilities of other relationships with the linked souls that surround them on a daily bases and come into their lives just when it appears they are needed.

This landmark bridge at Singapore's Marina Bay is inspired by the geometric arrangement of DNA, with a walkway encircled by opposing double helix structures of stainless steel.
At first glance, the bridge appears incapable of carrying substantial load. However, Arup designed the bridge's two delicate helix structures to act together as a tubular truss – inspired by the inherent strength of the curved DNA molecule.
"The Helix is truly an engineering marvel. While the structure is incredibly delicate and intricate, it's been engineered to support more than 10,000 people at a time. The Helix is the first example of this structural solution applied to a bridge – there is nothing else like it."
– Dr See Lin Ming, Arup project leader
Using Arup's own 3D software to explore possible solutions, a method of successfully linking the two helices was found. The concept was developed in 3D in a virtual, digital environment.
Arup's lighting designers emphasised the DNA-inspired design through a series of dynamic multi-coloured LED lights installed on the helix structures.
The outward-facing luminaires accentuate the sweeping structural curves, with another discreet array of lights illuminating the internal canopy of glass and steel mesh to create a dynamic membrane of light. The inner helix uses white light to illuminate a path for pedestrians.
Four viewing 'pods' extend out over the water, allowing visitors a 360 degree view of the skyline. Glass openings in the floor provide a connection to the water below.
The 280m-long bridge is the world's first curved double-helix bridge, and provides pedestrians a direct connection between Marina Centre, the waterfront area and Marina Bay Sands® integrated resort.
The landmark bridge is the first inspired by the double-helix structure of DNA.

Bessie Hale in her shoe shine parlour, Albany, OR
- Photo credit: Albany Regional Museum
Visit the Albany Regional Museum and see the actual chair and tools that Bessie and Rufus used for over 60 years!
The Natty Dresser's shoe shine stand harkens back to the days when every gent would stop by the local shoe shine parlour and get his shoes cleaned and polished.
It is our desire to pay homage to the Deluxe Shoe Shine Parlour that Bessie and Rufus Hale had at the Venetian Theater building in Downtown Albany from 1939 until Bessie's death in 1993.
Our stand has an actual 1930s club chair, and authentic horse shaped cast iron foot rests. The old-growth flooring came out of a Lebanon area farm house and the carpeting on the stair treads came out of a house here in Albany. The stand itself was built from reclaimed beadboard that also came out of an Albany area home.
Shoe Shine while you wait $5
Shoe Shine with leather treatment $8
Drop off and pick up service add $2
We also sell shoe laces and Angelus shoe care products
including: polish, cleaners and conditioners.
The purpose of shining your shoes is more than aesthetic, the wax used to create the shine is a waterproof barrier protecting the leather from the elements. You will find that you feel better about yourself and your overall appearance when your shoes are clean and polished.

N.H. Right to Know Study Commission seeks public input
The Right to Know Study Commission has met twice so far and is making progress on its agenda to study alternate processes to resolve right-to-know complaints.
Future meetings of the Right to Know Study Commission will be held each Thursday at 1:30 pm through the end of October in the Legislative Office Building, 33 N State St, Concord. Directions are here.
A public comment period is included in each meeting. Attend a future meeting and share your thoughts on this important issue. Help us shape the future of how Right to know complaints will be resolved in New Hampshire.
N.H. Right to Know Study Organizes
The New Hampshire commission to study Right-to-Know complaint resolution met for the first time last Thursday, September 7, 2017 at 1:30 p.m. It's official name is the Commission to Study Processes to Resolve Right-to-Know Complaints. It was formed by House Bill 178. All the members except Rep. Gary Hopper and Chris Dwyer representing the N.H. Municipal Association attended.
The first meeting was for the Commission to organize itself. Rep. Jordan Ulery called the meeting together and asked each member to introduce themselves. He then opened the floor for nominations for chair and nominated himself. Harriet Cady, representing pro se litigants, nominated Sen. Bob Giuda. The vote was split 5-5 between the nominees, and after some friendly negotiations, Sen. Giuda agreed to be chair. Harriet Cady then nominated Rep. Ulery as vice chair, and he was approved unanimously. Mark Hounsell, representing the N.H. Association of Counties, then nominated Harriet Cady as clerk, and she was approved unanimously. Rep. Ulery remained as chair for this meeting.
The Commission then began a discussion about its charge and the short deadline of November 1, 2017 for its report. Gilles Bissonnette of the N.H. ACLU offered to have his intern research similar statutes from other states. David Saad of Right to Know N.H. said he had already started that research, so they agreed to work together. Sen. Giuda noted that plagiarism is allowed in legislation and thought this was a good idea.
While the discussion of the charge started from the recognition that it should stay focused, the discussion quickly broadened. Harriet Cady explained how the costs and burdens of relying solely on the courts is too great. Besides resolving complaints, the provision in HB 178 to "increase awareness" focused discussion for a while on the need for better education and training about the Right-to-Know Law. This discussion lead to the agreement to share resources from the N.H. Attorney General, represented by Lisa English, the N.H.M.A, the N.H. ACLU, and Right to Know N.H.
The discussion touched on lots of problems with the Right-to-Know Law in general. This ranged from difficulties trying to get access to records and meetings, to how to add teeth to penalties. A focus was the role of board members in responding to Right to Know requests made to their agencies. Trent Spiner of the N.H. Press Association noted that the means to resolve complaints needs to be timely, and not just cheaper. The Commission discussed timeliness of the courts with Right-to-Know complaints and consensus was that the courts adequately expedited these cases. Cost was the bigger issue. However, several members noted that a Right-to-Know request is often stale by the time the issue works its way through the courts. Cady noted the average citizen does not feel confident enough to go to court.
The Commission briefly discussed possible alternative mechanisms to resolve complaints. These ranged from a new ombudsman position added to the A.G. office, to a 3-member panel of volunteers. Cady offered the Board of Tax and Land Appeal as a model.
Sen. Giuda asked Bissonnette and Saad whether they would need 1 or 2 weeks to survey other state statutes, and decided to schedule the next meeting for 2 weeks. That is at 1:30 on Thursday, September 21, 2017 in room 103 of the State House. Besides the presentation of the statutes from other states, Lisa English offered to describe the current procedure to resolve complaints as well as penalties. Sen. Giuda said he felt optimistic that the Commission could complete its work on time. Roughly, he said the next meeting would be for the Commission to educate itself. Then the next meeting would be about how to improve education about the Right-to-Know Law and penalties for violations. The next meeting would be a discussion about what kind of alternative procedures the Commission would like to recommend, and the last meeting would be to formulate a bill. He noted that the leaders of the House and Senate have said they would expedite the bill that comes out of the Commission since it would have missed the early deadlines. The meeting adjourned just before 3:00.

N.H. Next to Bottom for Public Access
New Hampshire ranked 49th, only beating out Wyoming by 1 point for the worst score on public access to information in the recent State Integrity Investigation published by the Center for Public Integrity. And this low score for New Hampshire is in "the worst performing category in the State Integrity Investigation" according to an article on the report, where 44 states earned an F.
Overall, New Hampshire earned a grade of D- and ranked 34th among the 50 states. New Hampshire's score was 61, a drop from 66 in the 2012 study, though the study has changed between the years. But, it is the score on access to information that is particularly troubling, as noted by an article on New Hampshire:
New Hampshire also scored poorly on "access to information." The right of citizens to access government records and meetings is enshrined in the state constitution and is clearly defined in Chapter 91-A, commonly known as the "right to know" law. But in practice, this right is circumscribed both by legal exemptions (the governor's office is not subject to the law), and the lack of any formal mechanism for appealing when agencies rebuff information requests. In such cases, a citizen's only recourse is the court system. And the bar for recovering attorney fees and other costs is dauntingly high — only when an agency "knew or should have known" that materials were wrongfully withheld.

XOMA, LLC., was recently awarded a major federal contract to develop an antitoxin to treat human botulism toxin.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases granted the Berkeley-based company an initial award of $7 million, with the potential of up to $28 million over the next five years, according to NIH.gov.
XOMA will use the funding to develop an intravenous monoclonal antibody treatment for human botulism toxin. The treatment will target serotypes C and D of the Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin and is expected to also neutralize C/D and D/c hybrid toxins.
If successful, a botulinum monoclonal antibody treatment would be capable of replacing the existing horse-based products that are notoriously difficult to make and pose considerable safety concerns for humans.
"The success of our prior NIAID contracts for anti-botulism antibody products to Types A, B, and E toxins demonstrates the utility of XOMA's antibody development platform for biodefense applications," Dr. Patrick J. Scannon, XOMA's executive vice president, said. "It provides a strong foundation for this new contract which will expand our efforts to include Type C and Type D antitoxins."
Including the recent award, NIAID has entered into four contracts with XOMA related to biodefense product development totaling approximately $120 million.

Unequal treatment
My brother wanted to go too, but he was at the mercy of the German embassy. You see, the standard procedure for getting a visa to Germany usually takes about two weeks. With the use of wasta, including official letters from the government here to the embassy requesting them to issue an expedited visa, the procedure was still going to take 5 working days. My brother asked for a meeting with the German ambassador to see if maybe he can get him to expedite the procedure. He took with him copies of medical records and explained to the ambassador why he wanted to travel to Germany. The ambassador replied to him that this isn't really an emergency because my father is there with my mother in Germany. If she was there alone, then it would be considered one. Apparently, my brother could be using my mother's situation as an excuse to get into Germany!
Thank you very much, Mr. Ambassador. Long story short, my brother got the visa four days later and arrived the night before our mother's operation. Everything went well, al-hamd lillah, and she's back in Oman now.
The reason I'm writing this post is that I am pissed off that Oman has a visa on arrival policy for countries that don't have quick visa procedures for Omani citizens. A German can step off a plane at Muscat International Airport and get a visa to stay in Oman for 14 days at the affordable price of 7 Omani Rials. Whereas we Omanis have to subject ourselves to all types of poking and prodding to be "allowed" to visit their country. We have to show bank account statements and get letters from our employers and salary statements. We have to show our hotel bookings. If we are going on business we need letters of invitation from the companies we're going to visit. And even after we receive the visa, when we arrive in their country we have to go through a whole other barrage of questions and answers. "Why are you here? Where are you staying? Have you been here before..."
As an official in the German embassy told me last year when I first went there to get a visa: this is policy, it is not just for Oman. (I heard this sentence from officals in the US, UK and French embassy as well). Policy is policy, fair enough. The German government does not want people to get easy visas. It's their country and it's their choice. They have a problem with people coming to Germany and then seeking asylum or staying on illegally. I haven't heard of any Omanis migrating to Germany, but as the woman in the embassy said, "this is policy", and I swore at that time to never let myself go through their crap again. And when I had to go to Germany again, I applied for a Schengen visa from the French embassy.
But why doesn't our government apply a policy of equal treatment? Countries that don't give quick visas for Omanis should have a similar policy applied to their citizens by the Omani government. If it takes two weeks for an Omani to obtain a German visa, German citizens shouldn't be given visas on arrival here in Oman. Will that stop Germans from visiting Oman? I don't think so. They'll just have to plan their visits and allow for the time it takes to get the Omani visa. After all, we still go to their countries even though we have to go through a hassle to get their visas.

Muscati, Thank you so very freaking much for hitting the nail right on the head. It is indeed unfair and frustrating.
I don't even want to go into my own experience with the US embassy in Muscat. But I think I cannot complain since my country of citizenship does not have good relations with the United States in the first place, so I am the victim. Though, I think being a resident of Oman for more than 20 years helped, just a little bit.
- Balqis said...
Just a personal guess
If we open, then we must do for everybody
And the flow of northern Africans we have [at least to Italy, Malta and few others] would become more than the double
So we should build a scheme like Oman [first and second list countries]
Even if it was technically possible, that would upset people like Ghaddafi on whom we're highly dependent for energy and liquidity in our banks
Actually unofficially most of these also pay big money to keep a certain flow of their citizens towards our places, to avoid internal rebellions
All in all, things would get more complicated
Am surprised anyway by the Ambassador answer
That was very rude indeed
- kapil said...
Nothing personal mate, but as an Indian citizen, I can also rant about the same thing. When Omani's travel to India for medical purposes, they are let in easily as compared to Indians allowed into Oman.
Things are balancing themselves out, but double-standards?
But this problem looked genuine, so, i would say it was unfair.
- Arabian Princess said...
I was going to say the same thing Kapil said. We enter Malaysia without a Visa, but malaysian needs a visa here. It used to be the same with thailand until changed the policy and now we need visa ..
I guess thats how the world goes .. you a super power country, you can bully others. you have less power, you bully the weaker .. and so it goes.
- sythe said...
If you don't like it, don't go there. Simple. Of course, if you want to go to these countries, then you should do what is necessary.
Amjad, you wanted to go to the USA to learn, you went there on your own accord, and so you have to do what is necessary to go.
I do agree with the logic though, Muscati. But in this modern world of terrorism, its not going to happen any time soon.
Besides, Germany sends the largest number of tourists to Oman, so if the visa policy is changed, it will effect tourism here, in my opinion.
- Amjad said...
I'm not sure if the "if you don't like it, don't go there" part was directed to me or not, but if it was, then I think I need to clarify once more that I'm not complaining, sir/madam =). And as I said in my earlier comment, I can't even complain because my country of citizenship does not have good relations with the US in the first place, and that being a resident of Oman for all these years (in my opinion) helped things go kind of smooth in my case. So actually I should be thankful, even though I have to go through this hassle every single time I get out of the US (something not all International Students in the US go through).
Glad your mother has recovered – its not nice to be ill without family in a foreign land. To extend the topic slightly – from a European point of view the purchase of property, ownership of businesses, sponsorship within Oman might also be brought within the policy of equal treatment.
- illogicist said...
Sorry to hear about your mother, glad she's ok.
From what I hear, the number one source of tourists to Oman is Germany. Considering Oman is in full overdrive when it comes to the tourism industry these days, its understandable that they dont want to do anything that would affect the flow of tourism cash from Germany.
I dont know the number of Omanis in Germany, or the number who travel to Germany per year, but it may not be worth the diplomatic headache - at least to those who would have to negotiate it.
- Muscato said...
What you're talking about is reciprocity, which actually does play into how countries look at visas. For Americans, for example, you're right: they get visas on arrival here in Oman. But they're single-entry, short term, and extending them is a hassle.
Omanis, by contrast, routinely get two-year multiple-entry visas to the States. Oman would have a stronger argument for less hassle in getting a U.S. visa (which is still pretty fast for most applicants) if its own visa regimen were less restrictive.
And what about non-Gulf Arabs who practically can't get here at all? I have a wealthy Egyptian friend who's given up trying to get an Omani visa, because he's coming to stay with us, not through a holiday package...
- muscati said...
balqis - I am not asking for any country to change their policy or visa procedure to make it easier for Omanis to enter. Fair is fair. They have a policy and that's their right. It's only fair to apply the same policy across the board. What I'm asking for is reciprocity.
kapil - India's visa procedure isn't as easy as you make it seem. They don't take weeks like a Schengen or US visa, but they aren't exactly as easy as a Visa on Arrival.
arabian princess - according to the ROP website which I linked, Malaysians and Thais are eligible for visa on arrival. I've been to Thailand twice in the past year and both times I didn't need a visa.
sythe - I fully agree with you. If it wasn't for necessity then I wouldn't have gone to Germany. I've been there three times in the past 14 months and all the visits have been for medical reasons. I don't agree with the US's visa policy and racial profiling, so I haven't gone there in ten years. And this is a country that I love, which I have lived in for more than 5 years, and which I have been visiting since I was a child. Post-9/11 when the US started its new policies to regulate visitors, we Omanis went from getting our US visas in one day, to having to wait as much as 4 months for a visa. At that time, I chose to start taking my vacations in other countries. I've visited a lot of countries that I haven't been to before, and as I progressed in my career and my earnings increased, this translated in my vacation spending getting bigger and bigger, none of which is benefiting the US.
As for your comment on Germany sending more tourists to Oman than any other country, yes this is absolutely true. But they have been sending more tourists here since a long time. Long before our visa on arrival policy. Even back when Oman had one of the strictest visa policies in the world and it was virtually impossible for people to get tourist visas for Oman, Germans were still willing to go through the hassle of going through the procedure. It used to be that they could only come as part of tour groups sponsored by 5 star hotels or local travel companies. It didn't stop them then. It won't stop them now.
By the way, while Germans come to Oman on packaged deals which give them hotel rooms much lower than the rack rate, my mother's hospital room cost 1000 Euros a night.
- Balqis said...
Then why Gulf governments don't react ?
The only comment I read was from Sheikh Mohammed some months ago saying that if they make it so tough for Emaratis then the UAE might apply the same reasoning
- SWEeTs said...
the same thing happened to me last month!!
i had my one year Schengen visa from the french embassy as well but it was about to end during my trip, so i went to the German embassy to make a new one.
I went in, greeted the guy and handed my bundle of papers(all set & Ready).
The guy there looked at my papers and says some words in Hindi i dont understand then "Not Applicable" and through my passport on the side of the table and gave me his back!
me as polite as quite as possible tried to ask for reasons,"excuse me, is there something missing", "hello...why are you not talking", trying to know if anything is incomplete and the man just kept giving me his back.no answer.
no matter what impression i gave he should have never through my passport, that pissed me off. I complained to the embassy, wrote an email to our concerned parts and tried to talk to the ambassador but she refused and transferred me to another guy who agreed my papers werent missing anything. simply apologized and apparently this was not the first time some one complains about his attitude but simply they have no one else to do the job but him!!
eventually i had to travel with my French Schengen visa but i would never wanna put foot again in the German Embassy in Oman. I had to travel with the idea of hating the Germans but when i went there, i felt so bad for impression the german embassy in Oman is giving on Germans.
- fusion said...
Muscati... The only answer to your question is related to Oman opening its borders to tourism... And I mean quality Tourism...
Having the same policies to them to apply for the Omani visa may hinder their decision to visit Oman.
It is quite difficult especially at the Germany Embassy. Last summer, I made my booking (Tickets and Hotels) to spend my summer holiday in Europe. I went to the office rented by the UK embassy to get their visa. It was very well organized. The only things I gave them were my passport, picture, form of application and salary statement. It was so comfortable and quick. Few days after that, I headed to the German Embassy but it was not a very pleasant experience. I headed there with the same documents. I had to stand on my leg for over an hour waiting to get a chair of the 5 chairs available. Most of the people who were coming to apply for a visa rejected on a very rude way by the Indian fellow sitting there. NOT even a SMILE! It was the same for me – No insurance! He through my paper and passport! I was about to cancel my booking to Germany because of this! I sent an E-mail complaining about all the things that I was upsetting me. They replied – Wish was good- with a long list of justification! Germany is a nice country but I will never be back to their Embassy here in Oman!
I would agree that sitting a procedure might hinder Germans to come to Oman but we want good quality tourists! Since I know German I find many Germans who wear shorts in public places like Traditional Markets (Souqs) which I find a little bit annoying.
We welcome everybody here in Oman but we always argue of good quality tourists.
Omani in Oman
- Jet Driver said...
Muscati - I hope that everything is still going well for your mother.
It is very frustrating to deal with visas in a lot of countries.
Unfortunately there is no bi-lateral agreement between Oman and Germany for your countrymen to visit Europe on an ad-hoc basis.
Maybe the situation will change soon insha'allah
- Hafiz Yahya Al Madrasi Al Omani said...
The matter is simple. Even if they make it difficult for Omanis. Oman will not make it difficult as the losers are themselves only whereas Germans can go anywhere. They really dont care!
- Panton said...
I had to deal with the german embassy in Oman to invite some omani friends to Germany. Problems arose partly because I did not know the procedure and partly because of some very impolite indian I spoke to on the fone, who was giving my friends a hard time. Not pleasant at all but the second time around we all knew what to do and from then on it has been easy every time.
I hope your mother got good treatment, in spite of the staggering costs.
The differences in regulations are certainly not fair and by their nature they make no allowance for individual cases which can be frustrating.
Still, for omanis getting a german visa is easy if you know what to do and make it past those indian employees who seem to be more "german" than they need to be.

Starting with iOS 11.2, iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X to support 7.5W fast charging support at 7.5 watts using compatible Qi-based wireless charging accessories. With the current iOS 11.1.1, all the three device charge at a speed of 5W using Qi wireless chargers.
Apple has promised that faster speeds would be available in the future updates and just as it promised it appears to be live on iOS 11.2. MacRumors has received a top from RAVpower post which they have confirmed that the phones were indeed charging at faster speeds.
Belkin charger that Apple sells which supports 7.5W was able to charge the iPhone X from 46 to 66% in just thirty minutes, while the same phone was able to charge from 46 to 60% with the accessory that doesn't support 7.5W charging speeds.
Obviously, the 7.5W charges quicker than the regular 5W and with 7.5W you will be able to charge you're iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X quicker than usual. iOS 11.2 is currently in beta and is limited to developers and public beta testers, the public release is expected in the coming weeks or a month. The 7.5W fast charging only supports Apple's wireless charging supported iPhones with iOS 11.2 installed.

How to Celebrate a Safe Halloween With Kids
Trick or treating is the default way for kids to have fun on Halloween night. Whether with parents along, an older sibling, or a group of friends they run with joy from house to house, begging for candy at any that beckon them with porch lights or decorations. Unfortunately in this day and age trick or treating is sometimes seen as too dangerous an activity. Certain cities may have crime rates that discourage the concept of walking the streets after dark or perhaps traffic conditions in your area pose a hazard. Other towns are simply impractical for trick or treating due to the distance between houses.
But choosing to ban trick or treating for your children certainly shouldn't mean skipping the holiday entirely! There are many alternatives to trick or treating that help kids stay safe on Halloween while still having a fun time.
Community Halloween Party
One classic way to celebrate Halloween with children is to attend a family friendly party. There is a very good chance your town or city hosts a public Halloween bash suitable for kids. Community centers, churches, and schools are all good possibilities for merging a safe environment with Halloween events. Keep lookout for flyers and updates to Facebook pages or websites.
Kids and adults alike are usually invited to dress up in their cutest or spookiest at these parties. A chance to wear costumes is a "must" for celebrating Halloween. There may even be costume contests with prizes!
Food options are sure to be treats such as chocolate and popcorn and caramel apples. Hopefully a spooky, tasty punch will be included! Peeled grapes (eyeballs, of course) can get some fruit into the kids while sticking with the theme. Let the kids indulge in the sweets at the party as much as they'd like, as an alternative to a bag full of candy.
It likely goes without saying that games will be a Halloween party activity, but some party hosts even build a not-so-spooky (or just-spooky-enough) haunted house to walk through! At one community party I've been to, little kids received a bag to decorate and then walked through a hay maze to trick or treat, collecting candy treats from Disney princesses. On the other hand, the church I grew up in was fond of classic monster masks and jump-scares in the dark!
Host Your Own Party
If you can't find a good Halloween party in your town or you just like the idea of one in your own home then throw a monster mash for your children as well as their friends and neighbors! Just be aware that most kids are likely to be out trick or treating that night and unable to attend, so you may want to talk to parents ahead of time and get a sense of other families who would prefer this safe alternative to trick or treating. You could send out invitations to your child's classroom, if the school allows. Or even set your Halloween party for after trick or treating hours have ended.
Get creative with the treats or provide big bowls of candy. Maybe order a pizza. Punch or pop is a must! A benefit of hosting a party is that you can offer children sweets that are considered too high a risk for kids to take from strangers, such as homemade cookies or brownies. There's nothing wrong with fruit or veggies, but at the point is to let everyone have childish fun. One night of junk food overload isn't going to hurt anyone.
Depending on the age of the kids, children might prefer to have a Halloween cartoon movie playing on a TV rather than spooky Halloween music to dance to. Games like bobbing for apples or pin-the-nose-on-the-pumpkin are classic. BINGO (or WITCH) is always fun too, especially when prizes are awarded. Speaking of prizes, don't forget the costume contest! For a little crazy fun let the kids use rolls of toilet paper to turn a victim-- ah, I mean parent -- into a mummy.
Trunk or Treat
At first thought, trick or treating in a parking lot doesn't sound fun or safe. But Trunk or Treat is becoming an ever more popular Halloween event. Often the Trunk or Treat night will not be October 31st itself, allowing real trick or treating to still take place. However, if you look around I'm sure you can find a Halloween-night Trunk or Treat, as many parents find it to be a safer take on the traditional trick or treating.
Everyone who participates in passing out candy is registered ahead of time and is usually a member of the school or church or community center hosting the Trunk or Treat. They'll hand out one or two pieces of Halloween candy to your costumed children as they come around, just like with traditional trick or treating.
The best part is that your child will not be trick or treating out of boring old cars and their trunks, as it sounds. No, all the cars will get into the Halloween spirit with a little (or elaborate) decorating! Often there is a contest for coolest decorations which motivates people to go all out in dressing their cars for Halloween. I've seen car trunks turned into fang-filled mouths, entire spooky scenes set up in the backs of vans, and even performances put on in truck beds.
Halloween Movie Marathon
This relaxed way to celebrate Halloween night depends on having the "right" kids for it. Some children would most definitely be bored and disappointed to spend the evening on the couch with Mom and Dad, watching movies in their own house while other kids ran around outside or attended parties. But there are ways to make a night of fictional Halloween turn into real Halloween fun.
Preteens: Let them invite over some friends. They can wear pajamas or or their costumes. You can allow your almost-teenaged 'child' to select the movies, being somewhat lenient about ratings due to the special holiday. You can check out why a movie was given a PG-13 or R rating on many websites and make the final decision, if you wish. Let him or her pick out a bunch of junk food for the evening. Promise to leave the room and let them watch by themselves once the guests arrive, but you can still be close by to supervise.
Kids: Again, they should get a hand in selecting which movies everyone wants to watch the most, though of course it's more important to pay attention to ratings and content with younger children. Go wild with the food! Special treats that they might not get the rest of the year or as much chocolate as they would like sounds fair for Halloween night. Maybe everyone can come up with a creative handmade treat the day before and prepare it for the family. And no required veggies on Halloween! Order a pizza or some other kid-friendly food for supper.
It probably goes without saying, but: Popcorn! Butter and salt aren't the only toppings. If you and your kids would like, experiment by mixing in candy or pouring on the chocolate syrup.
Haunted House and Hayride
It's scary, it's out of the home, both young and older kids are likely to find it fun, and it's perfectly safe as you can be with your children the whole time.
We all know that not every haunted house out there is a good one for kids. You know your child better than anyone and can judge what they'll be able to handle, but keep in mind it would be no fun for anyone if the family had to go back home due to a screaming frightened toddler at a haunted house meant for adults.
Free guide books often give an overview of nearby haunted attractions and a quick Google search will always produce results. You can compare prices, get a sense of the fear factor involved, and see if any deals or coupons are offered.
One more thing to remember is that on Halloween night a Halloween attraction is liable to be packed! Getting there early, dressing for the weather, and being prepared to wait are all musts.
Whether your kids trick or treat or head off to parties or participate in some other activity, be sure to have a safe and fun Halloween night!

July 2014
Speaking from the Heart
I just returned from an extraordinary week-long camping experience. There's not a lot of words yet for what I feel. I can only offer feelings from my heart. The heart speaks in non-verbal ways - how to communicate that in a newsletter?
I can share images, experiences that touched me. The sound of a single bird would wake me at 5:30, gradually followed by other birds. The opening to my tent faced east, and on clear days, I'd see the rays of light beaming through the redwood trees across the large field we had our village gatherings in. On foggy mornings, we'd hear the drip-drip-drip of moisture from the redwood branches fall on our tent. My daughter and I would rise at 6, dress and join the handful of early-birds to sing the wake-up songs for the camp.
One day, I took off my shoes and socks, and scaled a hillside barefoot with my clan members, stealthily surrounding another clan to surprise them. I felt alive, like a child, full of the joy of adventure and play.
And tears streamed down my face as the teens returned to the village, victorious after their 2 night backpacking excursion into the wilderness, all of us singing and drumming at the tops of our voices to celebrate their rite of passage. How much I longed for every child to experience this transformation.
This trip was the first time in over 20 years that I have spent more than a night in a tent, sleeping on the ground. More importantly, it was a week-long program designed to deepen my connection to nature and a sense of community, and indeed, it filled those places in me - the longing to connect to others, and the longing to connect to our natural world.
It reflected to me again my calling, my sense of the compelling need in our society for authentic, real connection to our own selves, each other, our planet, and Spirit. I feel ever more moved to create spiritual communities that are nourishing each of us on these levels.
My recent endeavor to meet that need is The Spiritual Cafe', where you can gather over the phone or internet with others who are also longing for community and to deepen their connection to the Divine. It's coming up next Friday July 25th, 10:30-11:30am Pacific - won't you join me for some inspiration and tranquili-tea? Call-in details below or on the Spiritual Cafe' page.
Miss that sense of community and spiritual depth in my yoga classes? Then you can look forward to Yoga Quest, coming up in September and October! I'm repeating the series on the Brahmaviharas: 4 Attitudes of Relationship at Mind-Body Zone in Fremont; and returning to YiY in October and November for a new series, Panchamayakosha: The 5 Sheaths of the Self. See below for dates, times, and registration.
Regarding the 4 Attitudes of Relationship, I'm writing an article every month on one of them, starting with Maitri in this month's issue. Let it inspire your practice and how you respond to everyone in your life - including you.
And for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the Sanskrit language, I'm returning to the Yoga and Movement Center in Walnut Creek this Saturday for Sanskrit: The Sacred Language of Yoga. Immerse yourself in the beautiful and empowering sounds of Sanskrit for an afternoon!
As I did, step out into nature and connect to it from your heart. Let it nourish you, and soothe the soft longing for deep connection. From that place, you need no words to speak from the heart.

Maitri - Are You Friendly?
by Rev. Connie L. Habash
[This article is the first of a four-part series on Chapter 1, Verse 33 of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali]
What is your first response when a friend is elated about something and wants to share it with you?
What about a distant relative whom you hear has just become wildly successful – in your field?
How about when you're at a party, watching someone joyfully eating up all of your favorite food – when you're on a diet?
Or when you're in yoga class, struggling with a difficult and painfully uncomfortable pose, and you see someone across the room gracefully, blissfullly flowing into and out of it?
In the Yoga Sutras, chapter 1 verse 33 guides us how to respond to various situations in life. Yoga philosophy isn't just about attaining deep states of meditation or to mastering invisibility (yep, the sutras do talk about invisibility, among other unusual things – but that's another topic). The deeper practice of Yoga brings our attention to all aspects of life, including how we respond to others and how we treat ourselves. This sutra gives us four keys to maintain inner peace and serenity when faced with four different relational situations.
The first part of this sutra poses the situation of encountering someone who is happy. Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras, asserts that when we encounter someone who is happy, we should have the inner attitude of Maitri. Maitri translates as "friendliness", but has also been interpreted as love, or being pleased.
