Recent culture has taken a dramatic shift against cultural norms and advances in technology. Hobbyists and connoisseurs of all crafts have suddenly taken a step back to "appreciate" the technology of times past like never before.
The majority of today's movie features are remakes of cinema favorites from the 50s or 60s, and those that aren't are either movie adaptations of books like The Great Gatsby or movies that highlight a past time. American Hustle, anyone? Fountain pens have reached new heights in popularity due to the resurgence of an interest in hand-crafted calligraphy. Postcards are suddenly popular amidst the height of the digital age, where "snail mail" has been a thought of times past. TuneIn Radio, a popular website that allows users to listen to radio stations around the world, hosts 40 million listeners per month as last estimated[1], making it more popular than Netflix with its 33 million viewers per month according to statistics[2].
This is mind-blowingly stellar. These movements in society are representations of where society wants to take its lead from. We've realized that at every turn, modern society has turned in the wrong direction to find its lead. Like the lost driver driving back for miles so that he can take the other path at the fork in the road, the world has recognized that the best way to create a better society is to start "from scratch" in some sort.
Can photography have its moment to shine in such a world? Fortunately, it already has.
In a world where digital photography reigns king, a kind of resurgence has taken place. In the academic world, the past five to ten years have seen professors taking a radical shift to teach students the art of photography with its non-digital tools: the darkroom, film and photography without digital precision in lenses. In the hobbyist and professional aspect of photography, photographers have taken a liking to making their way of life a hobby, full of shows and gallery viewings that have sprung up in a flash. These viewings of stellar art popularize what photographers have shied away from forever: whereas photography has been made popular and accessible to the everyday user through digital innovation, viewing art that was created using non-digital cameras has brought about this spark from other photographers to create their art using tools they'd never imagined they would ever touch, let alone care about.
Is this the tip of the iceburg for a resurgence in photography's old technology?

If the box office returns on his last couple of films weren't any indication, Tarantino's still got stronger pull than Lou Ferrigno in a tug-a-war comp.
The filmmaker's next, a 60's/70's piece featuring a subplot about the Manson murders, has reportedly caught the attention of some of today's biggest names. Among them, Tarantino's "Hateful Eight" villain Leonardo DiCaprio, legendary Tom Cruise (hard to believe he's yet to with the Oscar winning director!), Brad Pitt (who worked with the "Reservoir Dogs" director on "Inglourious Basterds"), and in-demand Aussie starlet Margot Robbie ("I, Tonya"). There's apparently two male lead roles, so it's uncertain whether all three actors mentioned above will play parts – if the deals get made – or just two of them.
In addition to the casting report (via Deadline), Sony Pictures has snagged the distribution rights to the film.
Company chief Tom Rothman sent out the following email to announce the news :
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to report that late last night, Sony did indeed succeed in securing the worldwide rights in all media to Quentin Tarantino's next epic film. I was looking forward to sharing the news with you all myself this morning, but unfortunately the story leaked.
Bottom line: Quentin chose Sony over many other competitors. And he did this because of all of YOU! He remembers well the outstanding job the company did on Django, and was particularly impressed last week by the presentation of our marketing and distribution capabilities, both domestically and internationally. I'm grateful to all who worked to make this happen and confident that we will do a great job for him on this film and others to come.
It's a real credit to the studio and to each of you.
Tom Rothman
Chairman Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group
The untitled movie goes into production next year.

Bryce Canyon is not considered a real canyon since it is not carved by flowing water. Although, the freeze thaw cycle of water is the process in frost- wedging which is responsible for the development of the hoodos.
Hoodos are tall, narrow formations of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder rock. They can vary in size, extending to heights beyond that of a ten story building. The hoodos are formed by water seeping into the cracks or pores of the rock, freezing and causing expansion of the crevices. The melting of the ice allows more water to seep into more cracks, and the cycle continues. Rain being naturally acidic washes away any loose rock and rounds the edges to provide a totem-pole appearance
The hoodos are located in abundance in the northern section of Bryce Canyon National Park located in Kanab, Utah. Due to the low humidity, superb air quality and high elevation on a clear day you can see for hundreds of miles. One might fall to the temptation of using color film to document the brilliant red, orange and white colors displayed in the rock, but again, I would not have that! Could the color be a distraction to the detail?
I stopped at this location for a few reasons. I had an appreciation for the lone tree standing erect like the hoodos behind it. And the contrast of the soft pine against the hard rock amphitheater. A treat stands in the distance, as another pine in it's early years is trying to stand tall.

Behold, The Lamb of God
In the 1950's, polio was the most feared disease in the U.S. The whole country was hoping, searching, waiting, and praying for a cure. Imagine how cool it would have been to announce the cure to the country when it was developed in 1955! That's the kind of privilege God gave to a man named John the Baptist, who pointed to Jesus and proclaimed, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."(John 1:29) This announcement followed 1,500 years of Old Testament worship that pictured what God's solution to sin was going to look like. As animals were sacrificed at the tabernacle and temple, God's message was graphic and powerful: 'Sin requires death, but I am providing you with something else, ultimately Someone else, to bleed and die in your place.'
"The Lamb of God" is the perfect name for Jesus that sums up everything the world has ever needed – a perfect substitute to suffer and die to make things right with God by taking away all sin, "the sin of the world." Think of all the sins, of all mankind, all lumped into a huge mass. Yes, the terrible sins you read of in the history books and see in the world are there. But so are the sins that keep you awake at night, and the sins that make you feel ashamed when you think about them, and the sins you just can't seem to leave behind. God took this gigantic mass of "the sin of the world" and He put it on the Lamb that He offered in your place. You see, sin can only be in one of two places: it's either around your neck and you're lost, or it's on God's Lamb and you're saved. The privilege that John had and that I have today is to point you to Jesus, God's Lamb, and tell you that you are saved. BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD!
Come visit us at CHRIST OUR REDEEMER for more of this message of God's grace!

On a quiet night, a baby boy is born in a stable—without much dignity, without any fanfare. But soon his parents begin to receive unexpected visitors. Shepherds who say an angel told them to visit this child . . . men from far away who received word that a special child had been born.
The parents look with a strange wonder at the child they hold in their arms. Could this really be the one? Could this be the promised one that will save the world?
Travel back to the days of Christ—and relive his life as if you were standing beside him.
Masterfully told by Gold Medallion Award-winning author Elmer L. Towns, Jesus is an engrossing, intriguing account of the most influential life ever lived. The birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus are painted against a vibrant backdrop of rich details and accurate settings.
You will even experience the emotional impact of the times and events . . . feelings unknown or unsensed by most modern Bible readers!

In celebration of Leadership Archways' six month anniversary and new level of international readership I felt it necessary to address the topic of leadership in our global society. Below is a graphic that I would like to share, it displays the current readership by country, reaching over 30 countries in the past six months. It is with this in mind, that I have been reflecting on the importance of globalization and it's impact on how we lead in today's society. In this post I address two questions: How is effective leadership measured in other cultures and what are universally effective and un-effective leadership traits?
How is effective leadership measured in other cultures?
As firms reach across borders and world continues to evolve into a global society; a global-leadership capacity is surfacing more and more often as a binding constraint. According to one survey of senior executives, 76 % believe their organizations need to develop global-leadership capabilities, but only 7 percent think they are currently doing so very effectively (McKinsey, 2014). And some 30 % of US companies admit that they have failed to exploit fully their international business opportunities because of insufficient internationally competent personnel (McKinsey, 2014).
Most of the prevailing ideas in business and academia about global leadership reflect efforts by leadership experts to adapt the insights of their field to the global arena (McKinsey, 2014). With these statistics in mind, leadership literature has come up with some dimensions on which to measure culture (Hofstede, 1980; Inglehart; 1997).
- Assertiveness: The degree to which individuals are assertive, confrontational, and aggressive in their relationships with
- Collectivistic I (Institutational): The degree to which organizational and societal institutional practices encourage and reward collective
distribution of resources and collective action.
- Collectivistic II (In-group): The degree to which individuals express pride, loyalty, and cohesiveness in their organizations or families.
- Future orientation: The extent to which individuals engage in future-oriented behaviors such as delaying gratification, planning, and
investing in the future.
- Gender egalitarian: The degree to which a collective minimizes gender inequality.
- Humane orientation: The degree to which a collective encourages and rewards individuals for being fair, altruistic, generous, caring, and
kind to others.
- Performance orientation: The degree to which a collective encourages and rewards group members for performance improvement and
- Power distance: The degree to which members of a collective expect power to be distributed equally.
- Uncertainty avoidance: The extent to which a society, organization, or group relies on social norms, rules, and procedures to alleviate
unpredictability of future events.
From these dimensions, how a country generally functions can be determined. I have given two examples of profiles below. If you would like further information please contact me. I plan to do a more extensive post on this topic in the near future.
Desired leadership strategy in an Anglo-American region: United States and Canada (Bligh, 2009).
- Charismatic/value-based leadership (high)
- Participative leadership (high)
- Humane-oriented leadership (high)
- Team-oriented leadership (mod)
- Autonomous leadership (mod)
- Self-protected leadership (low)
Desired leadership philosophy in the region of Confucian Asia: East Asian cultural sphere are China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Vietnam. Mongolia, Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of Central Asia are sometimes included because of certain ratio of Chinese immigrants (Bligh, 2009).
- Self-protected leadership (high)
- Team-oriented leadership (high)
- Humane-oriented leadership (mod)
- Charismatic/value-based leadership (mod)
- Autonomous leadership (mod)
- Participative leadership (low)
Please be aware that these are norms and they do not exemplify everyone's desired leadership values. It is important to be aware of our stereotyping.
What are universally effective and ineffective leadership traits?
Although opposite parts of the world have been identified to thrive under different types of leadership, there are some traits that are universally desirable. Looking at the leadership literature I would like to list 10 universally accepted leadership traits (Bligh, 2009).
- Honest
- Team builder
- Confidence builder
- Resilient
- Emotional Intelligence
- Develops followers
- Foresight
- Intelligence
- Just
- Decisive
Looking at the leadership literature I would like to also list 5 universally ineffective leadership traits (Bligh, 2009).
- Irritable
- Ruthless
- Dictatorial
- Non-cooperative
- Egocentric

Soldiers walk 22 miles to raise suicide awareness
Three soldiers were trekking across a stretch of Long Island Saturday to raise awareness about post-traumatic stress disorder and veteran suicide.
A study by the Department of Veterans Affairs estimated that 22 veterans commit suicide each day. The three were walking a 22-mile stretch to symbolize those lives.
The three Airborne Tri-Team members left Calverton National Cemetery around 12 a.m., carrying 45 pounds on their backs.
They were headed to Sayville, and upon their arrival at Gillette Park they were set to take part in the Airborne 5K run.

Have you ever tried to immerse a balloon in water?
You try hard with both hands, but what do you experience?
The balloon always comes back to the top.
It does not matter the color or texture of the balloon, it will always come back to the top.
The content of the balloon …
A similar thing happens when you release a balloon in the air…it floats away to the sky.
The air inside the balloon makes it rise to top
Everyone of us carry the potential in us to rise to the top
You are destined for the top…
You may experience set backs or disappointments .
Painful as it may be, never allow that to keep you down.
Never allow the confidence you have in yourself or in your God to slip away.
Tap into the strength within and rise to your full potential.
Stay strong, stay motivated, you are unstoppable!

NEW YORK (Reuters) – JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) on Friday raised its forecast on the number of U.S. interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve next year to four from three as the October payrolls data reinforced the view of a tightening domestic labor market.
"In this environment we believe the Fed will see even more need for a steady, regular removal of accommodation," JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli wrote in a research note.

Penn State Health plans to absorb Lancaster's largest physician group

Dr. Craig Hillemeier, CEO of Penn State Health.
(Harrisburg) -- There's a new chapter in the battle between health care giants in the midstate.
Penn State Health says it plans to partner with the largest independent physician practice group in Lancaster County - Physicians Alliance.
As part of the deal, all 120 physicians and other staff would become employees of Penn State Health.
Penn State Health's CEO Dr. Craig Hillemeier says patients at the offices will still be transferred to local hospitals as needed, but says the new arrangement guarantees a seamless transition to Penn
State Health's Hershey Medical Center if more complex care is necessary.
The deal follows the collapse of a proposed merger between Penn State Health and PinnacleHealth after a federal appeals court rejected it.
PinnacleHealth has since announced plans to buy four smaller hospitals and affiliate with one of the largest health systems in the country - UPMC.

After a tour of Newington Children's Hospital in 1990, Gary J. Raffia told his wife, Jacqueline, that he wanted to do something more to help out these sick children.
``It really hits home,'' Raffia said of the tour. ``Sick kids are a terrible thing.''
So the Raffias started Cans for Kids. They have collected more than 2.5 million empty bottles and cans from customers and other Enfield residents who drop their empties off at a shed at the Raffia Road Shell service station, which they own. The redemption of those cans and bottles has raised about $140,000, most of which has been donated to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford and its predecessor, Newington Children's Hospital.

We had some snow days last week. It was cold and snowed a little on Tuesday, then Wednesday freezing rain fell all day, leaving us with about in inch of ice over the little bit of snow. It was cold, windy and the freezing rain stung as it hit your face, that's the kind of weather that is not friendly for little kids to be out in, so we were stuck inside. I was basically waiting for the power to go out so I washed every speck of laundry, washed all the dishes, made sure everyone was bathed and had dry hair. And, of course, the power didn't go out. So, all that prep for nothing, I guess I liked being prepared.
I needed to keep myself busy when the kids were playing quietly so I worked on Miss B's Valentine amigurumi. The pattern can be found here. I thought it would make a cute "My Little Pony." I had some bright pink yarn and a soft baby pink yarn that were just perfect for Pinkie Pie. I even made the little cutie mark out of felt and embroidery floss. If you don't have preschool age girls and are wondering what the heck I am talking about, just nod and smile. My girls have been obsessed with My Little Pony for quite a while.
I loved My Little Pony when I was little, but the ponies of today look much different than the ponies of the late 80's!
After our freezing rain day, it turned to snow later in the evening and we woke up to a blanket of the white stuff over the layer of ice. It was like a fun layer cake. Of course, it melted later in the day and then yesterday it was 72 degrees. What? That's the south for you!

I am not sure how all these wonderful bloggers keep up with everything they have going on in their life. I am finally able to say that I am caught up. All of my parents have finally signed the waiver either giving permission or not to have them on the blog. I will finally be posting pictures of things that have been going on in my classroom.
Over the past few months, I have become more familiar with the common core and have decided that I like that we are expecting our students to become masters as opposed to just being exposed to different concepts.
Our district is also going through the new evaluation process and it is not that great. Administration can come in on any day without any warning, which is great, however I swear it is always on the day that I am having a bad lol! I have now been evaluated 6 times and that was before the vacation break. Are any of you going through the evaluation process like our district? Let me know what you think.
Also we are about to go to extended days next year and I am a bit scared as to what the future holds for us.

The annual celebration that honors South Florida's vast Caribbean culture turned tragic on Sunday when a woman who was taking part in a parade at the Miami Broward One Carnival died in a freak accident.
According to Miami-Dade police, Jacqueline Annette Martin, 54, of Lauderhill was a masquerader in costume from the Mascots International Mas Band, marching toward the main stage at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Expo.
According to investigators, a box truck with a trailer attached stopped so the masqueraders could dance and perform for the event judges.
Martin's cellphone dropped to the ground and rolled under the metal trailer. She went between the truck and trailer to retrieve her phone when the truck, driven by Karel Bidopia of Pembroke Pines, started moving again. Martin was struck by the trailer.
She was taken to Kendall Regional Trauma Center, where she died.
Miami Broward One Carnival released this statement:
"Today, on our 30th anniversary celebration, we unfortunately experienced our first injury of a masquerader that resulted in a casualty from an accident during the Parade's approach to the main stage. It is our understanding that the accident involved a middle aged female masquerader from the mas band, Mascots International, and one of the vehicles providing refreshments to the masquerades. She was treated on the scene and later transported to Kendall Regional Medical Center where she later died from her injuries. At this time, Miami -Dade Police Department is completing the investigation of the accident. We extend our condolences to her family and members of Mascots International."

(Reuters) - Leicester City forward Fousseni Diabate has the right attributes to handle the rigours of the Premier League and has made a good early impression, manager Claude Puel said.
Diabate, 22, who can operate as a forward or on the wings, scored a brace on his debut in Leicester's 5-1 FA Cup victory at third-tier Peterborough United last month.
The versatile Malian took up Riyad Mahrez's position on the right side of midfield in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Swansea City, with the Algerian midfielder left out for missing training and trying to force a move away from the club.
"I think he has a lot qualities and good attributes for the Premier League," Puel said. "It was his second game for us and he showed a lot of quality."
Diabete moved to Leicester in the January transfer window from French Ligue 2 side Gazelec Ajaccio on a four-and-a-half-year deal. He played 20 times in all competitions for the French second division club.
"He combined well with his team mates. He played simple passes and two touches, and made good penetration," Puel added.
"It was a good first half and he showed some strong work defensively, and brought something to our attack."
Leicester are eighth in the table with 35 points and travel to league leaders Manchester City on Saturday.

Dental Implants
Are you missing teeth? Dental implants are the most advanced and convenient alternative to false teeth. The implants are miniscule titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone wherever teeth are missing. The titanium binds to the bone, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In addition, these implants can help preserve facial structure by preventing bone deterioration, which occurs when teeth are missing. In this way, implants provide people with the confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life to the fullest, knowing that their teeth appear natural and healthy.
Implant Overdenture
An implant overdenture is a denture that is connected to a dental implant. This connection helps secure the full denture into place, while overcoming the instability and lack of retention that a common complete denture entails. This is a great treatment option for someone who requires a full denture, but wants to achieve a more stable and less bulky restoration.
Removable Partial Denture
A removable partial denture is the most economical type of tooth replacement. These tooth replacements vary in complexity and durability from elaborate systems of clasps and teeth to simple plastic pieces with clips. In order for the appliance to fit securely and remain in place while eating and talking, grooves and planes may be ground into the surface of some of the patient's natural teeth. When they are made well, they can be very comfortable; however an adjustment period is inevitable because of the noticeable foreign object in your mouth. Partial dentures must be removed and the mouth must be cleaned after eating. If this regimen is not carefully followed, the places where they clip onto your teeth will readily decay. There are many disadvantages to a removable partial denture, and this isn't recommended as a permanent treatment.
Fixed Bridges
A bridge fills the space where a tooth once was, and is generally three or more crowns fused together. When damage to a person's teeth is extreme and beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "fused on gold" crowns to restore the patient's smile. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems; it can permanently replace missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite.

Shannon & Joe tied the knot, May 28, 2017 at the Barn at Trinity Peak in Oconomowoc, WI. The venue was a beautiful set up of rustic elegance on a lovely lush of fields and land. The day was filled with so much love, family and friends. I was blown away by the gorgeous details of her rustic styled wedding, where the bride wore cowboy boots and arrived minutes before the start of the ceremony by horse and carriage! It was truly such a romantic and enchanting day.

Where is Uruguay?
My friends and others (mostly on visits to the States) have asked me where "Uru-what?" is...or "that place Paraguay where you are living". I give them a break though in that it is a bit difficult to find in the enormous continent of South America (but come on, it is not in Africa).
So here is a [new] map [so graciously sent to me] of South America. Uruguay is small, very small.
About the size of Missouri, and on the southeastern portion of the continent below the mammoth backyard of Brazil and north (and east) of airy Argentina, Uruguay quietly hangs out. Tranquilo.
