The main aim of ACTIVE project is to equip the students with the necessary skills required to enter successfully local and European job markets. Understanding and proper use of non-verbal communication (NVC) is vital for shaping appropriate models of conduct in situations generated by working environment. Considering high rates of youth unemployment and recognizing the need for young people to be flexible and competitive, it is also important for them to be able to maintain cross-cultural interactions. The activities in the project and the very diverse partnership of the group itself will provide the students with the essential practice in terms of business communication, career planning as well as linguistic and ICT skills. Moreover, for the participating institutions with a vocational profile the project will create the opportunity to enhance their curricula. For the schools with general comprehensive profile it will be a chance to incorporate more job market related elements in their teaching process. In order to proceed with the project activities the schools will need to build closer relationships with the local businesses, what will lead to mutual benefits. For those reasons ACTIVE project will have a great impact on the target groups while meeting current needs of youth entering adult life.
Our partnership was established for reasons of mutual interest in improving the participants' communication and interpersonal competences as well as in enhancement of motivation for vocational subjects and language learning.
Our students need to develop deeper understanding of the diversity of European cultures, languages and European values and at the same time acquire life skills for both their personal development and future employment. They need to learn how to live in multicultural societies as they would probably look for job opportunities throughout Europe, not only in their local communities.
Considering the deep changes that most European economies have been experiencing recently, it is necessary to equip our students with the essential knowledge and skills that will allow them to become more enterprising and self-reliant young adults. Students who leave school need to be aware of the need to be mobile, flexible and capable of working in international teams at home or abroad. We would like to enrich education processes in our schools to give our students the chance to develop such skills. Therefore, the activities that we intend to organize in the project aim at raising students' awareness of efficient means of cross-cultural communication with special focus on interpreting and using nonverbal cues essential for successful interactions. Moreover, we want to create opportunities for students to experience real-life situations to model professional conduct in workplaces.
Having in view that we live in the age of massive electronic communication, our students need to know how to overcome difficulties they might encounter in face-to-face communication. Thus, cooperating with their peers while taking part in local and international activities will add up to their interpersonal skills as well as linguistic and intercultural competences.
The mobilities provided by a Comenius project will broaden their horizons and give them ideas of what they might do for a better life in the future. Besides, involvement in all stages of the project will teach them to interact better and improve an entrepreneurship and community spirit that they may lack at the moment but they need for future development.
Project partners recognize the need for improving key learning competences in the most attractive way for students. The character of planned activities and strategies in the project will allow to satisfy the need to a great extent. Firstly, the project will require students' ability to come up with new ideas and put them into action. The participants will improve their skills in terms of planning, organizing, managing, analyzing, evaluating and reporting while undertaking the tasks. They will also be instructed on self-assessment and finding own strengths and weaknesses. This will lead to the enhancement of initiative and entrepreneurship which are vital for future individual and professional development. Moreover, the project will help the students to understand better multicultural and socio-economic dimensions of European societies. It will show them constant interaction between national and European cultural identities. Through interaction with partner teams the participants will learn how to be more tolerant, express and accept different points of view, solve conflicts, negotiate and reach a compromise. These social and civic competences will allow them to attend effectively and constructively in society. What is more, through this project students will have the opportunity to get some ideas on time and information management while working alone and as a part of a team. It is also obvious that they will become more self-confident and self-reliant. Both these factors are essential for improving the ability to learn effectively.
Teachers need to improve their capacity to work in interdisciplinary teams and become more open to innovations and new methods of teaching. Through this project they will share their knowledge and experience. They will need to work on creating new practical teaching materials. They will also have the chance to build on knowledge of foreign school systems. Most participating institutions are of vocational profile but they still need to provide more practice for their students. Comenius project will create international and cross-cultural environment for such practice. Those institutions that have more general, comprehensive profile will definitely benefit from this cooperation as the activities planned in the project will add a practical dimension to their curricula. Moreover, the partners believe that their joint project will improve social atmosphere at their schools and result in a stronger cooperation.
The project aims at exploring non-verbal communication and its importance in the work process and everyday situations through various activities. It will promote key competences such as sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expression, communication in foreign languages, digital competence, sharing European values, learning to learn, civic and social skills. The following objectives will be achieved by the end of the project:
• To do a research into communication beyond language and compare nonverbal communication in each partner country.
• To raise awareness of similarities and differences in the meaning of nonverbal communication in various cultures and to compare how different situations and nonverbal actions could be interpreted differently in various countries.
• To improve students' interest and skills in vocational subjects, especially of those related to interpersonal and business communication.
• To turn the participants' attention to the need of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation when planning their career paths and entering the job market.
• To develop students' ability to "read" nonverbal cues as they are essential for successful relationships in their future careers.
• To create a professional conduct in the field of services.
• To improve digital skills and the ability to use the modern technologies, such as ICT, when exchanging personal and cultural experience.
• To improve skills of written and spoken vocational English language.
• To create an opportunity to acquire knowledge and competences concerning European citizenship.
• To broaden the horizons in terms of understanding foreign values, cultures and customs and instill tolerance towards other cultures
• To develop learning competences such as communication, debating, critical thinking, looking for information, classifying, sharing and presenting information.
We are going to achieve these objectives by means of team work, local and joint workshops, drama and role-play activities, debates, sharing experiences and knowledge, self-assessment, sessions with professionals, observations of business environment, evaluation tools as well as research work.
Our international cooperation will lay an emphasis on the inherent diversity of the continent and will create an opportunity for the participants to learn how to accept and celebrate diversity. The cultural exchange the participants will experience during mobilities to Mediterranean and Eastern European countries will lead to a decrease of international prejudice and an increase of the sense of European citizenship, a change of mentality of the participants and the local communities. The project will provide new conditions for the partner countries and the students involved to create a network with the outside world and acknowledge a sense of belonging to a common human frames of values.
This project also aims at encouraging a sense of initiative and the learners' entrepreneurial skills by means of different modes of international interaction. The increasing globalization of economies and the competitiveness require strengthening of the European response to the new challenges of the job market. Consequently, it will respond to the needs of the rapidly changing world of work and diverse society by improving wide range of key competences of our trainees.
We hope to exchange a lot on the different teaching methods, educational systems and methodologies used in our partner countries, enhancing our readiness to enrich our pedagogical approach.
Throughout the project students and teachers will trace their European identity by setting common goals for results and outcomes so as to become clear for them that collaborative work creates strong friendships, enhances motivation and produces quality work that can be set as examples of good practice in the community for others to follow.
Students will also get to visit places that they have never visited before and more importantly meet people, thus developing their communicative and social skills that are necessary while setting and applying their working plans.
The project will have a considerable impact on its target groups: students, teachers and the participating institutions.
Concerning students, they are expected to become more aware of the similarities and differences in interpreting and using non-verbal cues in their own and foreign cultures. Through various partnership activities they will acquire a better understanding of codes of conduct and customs in a workplace as well as in social situations. Moreover, the project will turn the students' attention to vocational subjects and the need to improve their language skills in these fields. They will also develop their digital, teamwork and presentation skills by performing project tasks. They will be led to take responsibilities and to plan their own work. Contact with and first–hand knowledge of traditions and values of the different cultures will offer them the opportunity to improve both their linguistic competences and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, the relationships with students from other schools will enhance their self-esteem, whereas mobilities will give them opportunities to travel and get to know new countries in the European Community. As a result, the students will become better prepared to enter the job market as well as to plan their future career paths having acquired a spirit of initiative and creativity.
Teachers will be able to collaborate with colleagues from the participating institutions. That will enable them to exchange ideas, information, experiences, knowledge and teaching methods. Project products are going to be shared between all participating schools. Since all the main products are designed to be used as practical tools in education process they will add up to the teachers' source bases.
Finally, the participating institutions will improve their educational process by incorporating new topics, strategies and techniques. They will also have the possibility for further cooperation with their partners. On the basis of this project they will get an appropriate experience to continue good practice in terms of European collaboration.
Evaluation is a crucial element of the project and it will be conducted before, during and after certain stages and finally at the end of the whole project. The evaluation process will focus on assessing whether or not the proposed aims have been met. It will be done by students, teachers, parents and local community members.The methods which will be used are surveys, questionnaires, interviews and self-assessment.
The interviews and questionnaires will first be conducted on national levels and then a comparison of the results will be done in a form of a summary which will be presented and discussed during the working meetings. All the final results will be published in electronic forms so they will be accessible for general public.
Coordinators will monitor completion of tasks, achievement levels, efficiency of communication, development of skills, impact on the curriculum and team spirit. Each group of students will evaluate their own work during workshops and stages of the project. Their leader will then report the results to the coordinator who will deal with difficulties.
The first part of the evaluation process will be an initial questionnaire on participants' expectations from the project. It will allow the coordinators to direct their work with teams. Apart from that, students will also fill in a survey which will assess their knowledge of NVC. The results will be compared with the outcomes of the final quiz on NVC and this will show the progress made in that field. Moreover, before working meetings the participants will discuss their expectetions and after the meetings they will be able to compare them with experience as well as reflect on the work done during the meetings. Additionally, after the 2nd meeting there will be a survey for the parents allowing them to express their views on the project and its influence on their children. Before the 3rd meeting there will be interviews in schools for teachers, students and also local citizens to assess the project impact in local communities. A self-assessment session is a part of activities planned for the 3rd meeting and it will be, along with previous evaluation results, used to summarize the whole work done so far in the project. One of the 3rd meeting products will be a mid-evaluation report which will show strong and weak points of the project. Also the final project products will serve as ultimate evaluation tools as they will present to what extent the aims have been achieved.
The project will make a significant contribution for each school's educational curriculum. The outlined aims and activities will be integrated in regular school schedules during various teaching sessions. The subjects which compose the syllabus, such as English, Geography, Economics, Fashion Design, Social/Civic studies, IT courses will directly or indirectly contribute to and benefit from the project as it progresses. Teachers on the teams will focus their attention on topics relevant to both project activities and the curriculum. They will incorporate the different tasks into lesson activities, emphasizing team work, intercultural understanding and the cross-cultural teaching units. The schools will also organize additional classes that will prepare students for project tasks which involve specific skills, such as making and performing presentations, DVD recording, acting, carrying out a research. There will also be workshops and meetings organized with job advisors, business coaches, actors, business people which will enable the participants to achieve project goals and at the same time enrich education processes in partner schools.
Students will experience greater freedom in the process of education, since they will take responsibility and participate actively in the project. They will also have the opportunity to share their knowledge and practice skills while taking part in working meetings as well as organizing activities for the other students in their schools.
Finding innovative solutions to problems in teaching practices is one of the important aims of the project. During local and regional teachers' meetings the materials produced in the project will be presented and their usefulness explained. Implementing products and strategies used in the project into the lesson activities will boost the teaching-learning process and bring about enhancement of motivation.
Pupils of partner schools are already engaged in the planning process. They had been informed about the essence of Lifelong Learning Programme as well as the main ideas of this project. The students were asked to propose a title of the project before the preparatory visit. They had an opportunity to share their conceptions and discuss them with school coordinators. Furthermore, students took an active part in preparing materials for the preparatory visit in Poland (e.g. partner schools and regions presentations).
During the course of the project, the students will be involved in all activities concerning production and dissemination of the project results. On local levels they will work in groups responsible for certain tasks according to a topic they choose (e.g. drama, ICT, media, evaluation, research).
The groups will be in constant contact with similar groups from partner schools to share ideas and cooperate. At the beginning of the project they are expected to exchange introductory messages with their partners to get to know each other.
Students will prepare adequate materials for working meetings as well as take part in all activities planned to promote their work in the region. They will also organize sessions for other students in their schools to share the knowledge they gained in the project and practice new skills.
Moreover, students will participate in working meetings to present their work done locally, to participate in joint activities and improve their skills while working with their partner students. The pupils will then prepare appropriate materials to introduce the results of the meetings in their schools.
Pupils will also be active participants in the evaluation process. They will be guided how to prepare evaluation tools, how to use them and how to share the results. They will have the occasion to assess their own participation in the project as well as the results and products of the project in general.
There are seven partners in the project out of which four attended prep visit. We developed a twin system of mobilities. There are three meetings organized by two partners each and held simultaneously. These meetings will be attended by two or three other partners and the "twins" will have the same project activities. Then there will be a concluding meeting in Poland that will be attended by all the other partners. Each meeting is compatible with the main idea of the project but has a distinctive objective. The first meetings are of introductory character in terms of NVC knowledge and meeting project partners. During the first meetings Reunion and Italy will organize drama activities, ice-breakers and games. Partner schools will present themselves and their regions. The logo proposals will be discussed. Participants will also discuss NVC in terms of introducing and meeting people for the first time. Italy is responsible for the report on this aspect and Reunion for the production of the project final logo. During the second meetings in Croatia and Bulgaria, partners will present their findings on six different aspects of NVC, i.e. eye contact, proximity, appearance, haptics, gestures and posture and will take part in a fashion show with outfits for various occasions. Croatia's task is to put together the glossary of cultural similarities and differences of the above mentioned aspects. Bulgaria is in charge of making a photo presentation of the fashion shows. The third meetings will be hosted by Romania and Turkey and will focus on NVC in workplace interactions as well as evaluation on all the work done so far. Students will participate in job interview and customer service workshops and observations followed by role-play activities and self-assessment session. Romania is responsible for describing the whole process in ready-to-use materials for further use, while Turkey will collect all the evaluation results and sum them up in a mid-evaluation report. After each "twin" meeting there will be presentations exchanged to share the outcomes. The last visit will be in Poland and will concentrate on reviewing the project content through drama sketches which will be recorded on a DVD accompanied by a booklet. The host country will also prepare a cultural and NVC contest quiz which will measure the students' level of achievement. Apart from being responsible for the meetings, each partner will organize the planned project activities at their schools.
At a local level, each partner school has chosen its Comenius coordinator and formed a team of teachers who are going to participate in the project. Each teacher is going to take care of certain tasks during the project. The school coordinators and their teams of teachers will have regular meetings to organize work throughout the project. Participating students will be organized into groups and will also meet regularly with their teachers and the coordinator. The students teams and the coordinators will be in constant contact with their foreign counterparts through email and online platforms such as Facebook. Each group of students will choose their leader who will then attend the meetings and represent the group.
School coordinators have first met on the eTwinning platform and agreed on the idea for the project, and then through numerous emails they have developed the idea for the project, after consulting with their colleagues, students and principals. There was a preparatory visit organized in Poland from 4th to 8th February where school coordinators filled in the application form. During the project, apart form constant mail exchange, school coordinators will have monthly chat-sessions to deal with possible problems and share ideas and experiences.
There will be a communication platform organized for students (blogs, forum) to cooperate effectively. The coordinator will create a Facebook page for the project so that every participant will be able to keep track of the undergoing activities.
Moreover, there are four meetings planned for representation groups consisting of school coordinators, students and possibly teachers involved in the project. These meetings will result in specific products and enable the participants to communicate and cooperate in the most efficient way, thus they are extremely important for the completion of the project.

Partners will use various means of publicity to present procedures and products completed in the project on local and international level. Notice boards will be set up where school community will be informed on events, activities and products. The schools agreed on specific forms of communication among students. These forms include the use of e-mails, "skype", facebook, "chat conferences" and blogs. There will be a group of students responsible for this type of communication and another one, responsible for sharing information through articles published in school magazines. Local community members will be informed through various means of communication as well. Local media will provide opportunities for presenting the project activities: articles will appear in the local newspapers, short films and video-clips will be broadcast on local TV stations, interviews will be presented by the local radio stations. Moreover, local communities will be addressed through leaflets and posters. As to inform a wider lifelong learning community, the most efficient platform will be provided by the Internet. Each participating school has got its own website where the main steps and details (video clips, pictures and reports) will be shared.
The outcomes of the project are meant to be of further use when the project is finished. Most activities, including those organized during working meetings will involve not only the direct project participants but also other teachers and students from partner schools as well as representatives of local communities. Therefore, more people will benefit from the project and at the same time will have the opportunity to get informed of its content. Participating students will also organize activities for others in their local schools to share their knowledge and practice new skills. Results and products of the project will be used in participating schools to enrich the teaching process. Students and teachers will be able to use their developed skills in their future education and careers. What is essential, the main products (the cross-cultural glossary of NVC elements, the DVD with sketches presenting appropriate modes of behaviour in various workplace situations and the set of ready to use materials on how to organize practical activities concerning NVC) will be available for wider community through national and international means of publicity for example teachers' meetings held locally and regionally and teachers' resource websites.

Find Your Method Around The Physical Fitness Maze With This AdviceThere's much more to fitness than simply spending time at the gym. You need an abundant amount of know-how and dedication to see results in your fitness plan. Below, you will be provided with tips that will help make your fitness regimen a better one.
When on an exercise routine it is best to have a day of rest once a week. During rest your muscles will grow and recover. In order to have the best results, your body needs its rest so it can be at full potential when you are exercising.
An exercise class is a great way of continuing your fitness routine through the winter months. Many people are less inclined to exercise during the winter, especially if they have an outdoor routine. Try signing up for something completely different to your regular exercise: if you typically cycle, try yoga. If running or jogging is http://nymag.com/thecut/2017/04/collagen-powder-benefits-side-effects-supplements.html preferred routine, try free weights. Who knows, you may find that you really enjoy this new form of exercise, and if nothing else, it's a healthy way to get through the dark winter months!
If you want to get in shape using yoga, do your yoga stretches and poses on a hard surface. Practicing on a soft floor can lead to joint injuries and can throw off your balance, which will reduce the effectiveness of your yoga routine. In a reverse of the common practice, you can place a hard, smooth material onto a soft carpet to create the ideal yoga surface.
No matter what your schedule is, make time for exercise. Now this doesn't mean that you have to be able to make it to the gym each and every day. Just make sure that you are getting some movement in every day, whether that's a walk at your lunch break, playing with the kids at the park or doing an exercise video before bed. Make a commitment to move your body every day.
When strength training, the rest you take between sets, will determine how your muscles will develop. If you are looking to build muscles and get bulky, your rest time between sets should be longer. If you are looking to build endurance and get leaner, more sculpted muscles, then your rest time should be shorter.
Strengthen your back to help end back pain. Every time you do a set of exercises that focus on your abdominal exercises, do a set of exercises that focus on your lower back. Working out only your abdominal muscles can cause poor posture and pain in the lower back.
If you want to bench press without injuring yourself, proper form is a must. Remember to always lie completely flat on the bench. A great way to always maintain the proper form is to leave your feet firmly planted on the ground, and always grip the bar no more than shoulder width apart. This will allow a fluid, natural motion and enable you to keep a solid form.
Try to achieve more birdies with your golf putt. To do this, try aiming 17 inches past the hole when you are putting because there is 17 inches of green that will be footprint-free. This means there will be thicker blades of grass around the hole that will slow down your putt.
By working out your hamstring muscles, you can improve your sprinting ability. These muscles are responsible for starting a sprint and helping you gain speed. Try doing a variation of a leg curl. Start by placing all your weight toward flexed ankles with your toes pointed towards your shins. When the weight is lowered, extend your toes away from your shins, back toward the front. These give your hamstrings more of a workout than standard leg curls.
One simple tactic to add motivation to your fitness plan, is to pay in advance for your gym membership or your personal trainer. Because your money is already gone, you will be more inclined to work out to get back full value for what you have spent. You should never underestimate the motivational drive, provided by the threat of losing money.
Switch up your workout routine so you don't get tired of exercise. You may find another workout you really enjoy more than another. This will also keep your focus on a variety of fitness techniques instead of doing the same thing daily. It's also better for your muscles and helps to develop them with different exercises.
When you are running short distances, go faster than you normally would. This will improve your running form and make your muscles less susceptible to injuries. When collagen benefits digestion are running longer distances, it is important to run at a stead pace. Running too fast for long distances can cause injuries.
Walk to lunch. If you work in an office environment, try walking to lunch at a place at least five minutes away. That way, after you've eaten and returned to work, you will have also done a nice 10 minute walk which can be healthy for your state of mind and body as well.
During the rest for one set of exercises, select another exercise that works a different muscle group. Keep alternating until you've done the appropriate number of repetitions. This allows your muscles to rest in between exercises while not sacrificing time while you sit around doing nothing. One muscle group can relax while you work on another, instead.
Most people know the importance of stretching before a workout, but many do not hold their stretches long enough. Younger people should opt for a minimum of 30 seconds for each stretch. When you are topping 40 it becomes important to hold for at least 60 seconds because muscles are less pliable as we age. Allow time in your routine for full stretching.
Now, are you ready to make a difference? Hopefully, the above tips have encouraged you to get started today! There is always room for improvement. No doubt, when you see improvement it inspires you to work harder. Now is the time to put your plans into action! Enjoy you workout!

Once Routine, ICE Check-Ins Now Fill Immigrants In U.S. Illegally With Anxiety By Joel Rose • Apr 18, 2017 Florinda Lorenzo has been in the U.S. illegally for more than a decade but checks in with federal immigration agents in Baltimore several times a year. Until recently, it had become routine, almost like a trip to the dentist. Many immigrants who are here illegally — like Lorenzo — are not in hiding. Hundreds of thousands of them report to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a regular basis. They've been allowed to stay because past administrations considered them a low priority for deportation. Georgia Lawmakers Send Bill Banning 'Sanctuary Campus' Policies To Governor By Sam Whitehead • Mar 28, 2017 John Bazemore / AP Photo Georgia lawmakers have approved a bill banning private colleges and universities from adopting so-called "sanctuary" policies. The measure would block state scholarship and research funding from institutions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. What Happens When U.S. Immigration Rules Tighten? Let's Look To Alabama By editor • Mar 8, 2017 Back in 2011, Alabama passed what was then considered the nation's strictest immigration law. Much of it was later struck down by the courts. Now, the law offers a snapshot of potential challenges ahead for the Trump administration. For Fernanda Herrera, a senior at Samford University outside Birmingham, Ala., the current climate surrounding immigration has her scared, just as the Alabama law did in 2011. "I don't know if I'm going to see my parents tomorrow," Herrera says. Her father crossed the Mexican border illegally when she was two. Migrants Choose Arrest In Canada Over Staying In The U.S. By editor • Feb 17, 2017 Royal Canadian Mounted Police are reporting a flurry of illegal crossings into Canada in recent months. Officials say Quebec province has seen the highest influx of people seeking asylum, with many crossing in snowy, remote areas in northern New York. One illegal crossing area that has become particularly popular among immigrants is in Champlain, N.Y., in the northeast corner of the state.

Winners of the Trinity Engineering Student Entrepreneurs of the Year Competition 2014 Announced
13 May 2014
The multi-disciplinary "Leading Edge" team, Stephen Brennan, Stephen Ennis, Carl Fox, Daire Ó'Catháin, and Richard Reid, presented their business plan at the competition held on Tuesday 1st April 2014 in the Printing House Hall. Judges Gillian Slattery of Enterprise Ireland, Patrick Lynch of Dublin City Enterprise Board, Mark Dineen of Accenture, and Simon Phelan of Better Capital, selected "Leading Edge" from six excellent video presentations and Q&A sessions. The finalists had previously been shortlisted from a total of twenty one teams.
The competition was sponsored by daft.ie, Dublin City Enterprise Board, Trinity Engineering Alumni, Accenture, Trinity Business Alumni, the School of Engineering, and the School of Computer Science and Statistics.
Second prize winners were the "UVLife" team, Conor Broderick, Brian du Toit, Harold Foot, Finn Murphy, Jasper Pickersgill, and Alistair Shannon, whose product will bring purified water to distressed parts of the world.
A special prize for the best video was awarded to the "Lampyrid" team, Anne Gallagher, Giacinto Rittgers, Aisling Smith, and Eduardo Vasconcelos. Their Lego-based animation showed the potential of their idea for an innovative, eco-friendly and cost-effective traffic light system.
This year's competition displayed some of the achievements produced by third year Engineering students during a twelve week module in which they learnt about entrepreneurship and got to put business ideas into practice. Throughout the twelve weeks, they worked in groups to develop their own business ideas. They were guided by experienced professionals.
From Joanna Gardiner, managing director of Ovelle Pharmaceuticals, and finalist in the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition, the students learnt about the importance of branding and brand equity. From Frank Ward, former president of Trinity Business Alumni, and a judge in the early days of this competition, the students came to appreciate the importance of sound financial models and plans, and also the importance of protecting their clever and innovative ideas.
The course was coordinated by Dr Niamh Harty of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. Several guest speakers shared their entrepreneurial experiences with the class during the semester.
We would like to congratulate our winners, and to thank all who participated. The standard of all entries was very high and all of the finalists were very impressive. We are very grateful to our sponsors for their generous support.

Reverend Dr. Howard-John Wesley Celebrates 5 Dynamic Years as Pastor at Alfred Street Baptist Church! Reverend Dr. Howard- John Wesley is best known as the power-house preacher that has created quite a stir in Alexandria, Virginia since his installation in 2008 as pastor of Alfred Street Baptist Church. On any given Sunday, the congregation has no problem getting a little bit closer on their pews or anywhere in the building where a seat can be found to hear this anointed pastor preach the Word of God with an intense passion that always seems to be just what the doctor ordered for their souls. Pastor Wesley's disciplined prayer life, study habits and listening to his congregation through everyday conversations and counseling sessions really helps him to deliver life changing sermons every Sunday. As the people speak to him, he hears God and discerns the kinds of messages that the congregation needs to hear. One statement that he says oen is, "I feel that I am doing my job when I make the congregation not need me by encouraging them to develop their own prayer life and study of God's word." is year, Pastor Wesley celebrates his 5th year anniversary at the historic Alfred Street Baptist Church! e anniversary weekend will be September 21 – 22, 2013 and the guest preacher will be Reverend Dr. Marcus Cosby.

e Publishers Perspective WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STRATEGY? Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. - 3 John 1:2
n life, sometimes stuff just happens!! Can I get an Amen?? However, in order to maintain your peace, joy and well-being, you must have a life strategy. I say this because there are far too many people living below God's best for their lives, due to a lack of understanding concerning how to navigate life's issues. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." As we patiently wait for God's plan to unravel, He gives us the Holy Spirit to discover His strategy and wisdom to deal with things that are spiraling out of our control. is strategy helps us to think things through on a higher level, as we learn to accept cumbersome situations, and difficult people in our lives. As you consider the worst
people forget that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Prayer is always the key in working through a life strategy, because the Holy Spirit will always lead and guide you into all things for your life, making all things work out for your good. and best things that can possibly happen; the next step is to apply a concrete, divine strategy to deal with all types of circumstances. For instance, years ago I would have panic attacks whenever I was bombarded with too much, such as: issues with work, people, personal relationships, school, family, etc. I was a people pleaser, always wanting everyone to be happy. Yikes!! en, one day – I got a clue. I realized that God can work all these things out in due time. I started to understand that I needed to please God,
not people. All that I needed to do is work His plan, His "divine" life strategy for me. Well, aer I got this clue and got over the disappointment of things I couldn't control; it was easier to let the chips fall where they needed to fall. It was easier to let go and let God have his way, with a smile. As 3 John 1:2 infers, God wants us to prosper in all things concerning every aspect of who we are. He wants us to prosper and be whole in our minds, bodies and spirits. Oen times,
Today, I pray that you will stop, pray and work out your own life strategy with the help of the Holy Spirit. May you have a blessed winter, lled with new insight about how to handle life's ups and downs. May you stay in His peace, love and joy – no matter what is going on! With Warm Regards,

True Confessions of a Saved Man by Jason Ottley
What if I Marry the Wrong Person? Modern society has enchanted our thinking to suggest that choosing the right mate is so essential that if we end up choosing the wrong one – then the rest of our lives are doomed. Because we are human, our decision making does not always work out in our favor. Which is why I'm glad the bible says, "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. ey are new every morning!" Isn't it amazing that despite our erroneous decisions, God can simply make a miracle out of our mess? ere is only one time in scripture where God created one speci c man for one speci c woman – the book of Genesis outlines the love story of Adam and Eve. Our own thinking, that God has ONE right person for us, has caused many people to remain single hoping, wishing, and waiting for that RIGHT person. And for others, we have married, divorced, married again, divorced again, and then re-married in search of the RIGHT one. I certainly believe there are times where God allows two purposeful people to cross the same paths and those two people get it the rst time. Certainly He will lead us to make wiser choices and pro table decisions, including that of a mate. But, what about everyone else – the not so fortunate ones? Is their destiny destructively altered if they don't mature fast
enough to select the right one? Certainly not! In the words of Michael Pearl, "marriage is the boot camp of life where men and women discover their strengths and weaknesses, and have opportunity to adjust their characters". When we discover things about ourselves that we don't like, we are quick to put the blame on someone else. Whether it is our upbringing, neglected teen-age years, rejection from a college crush, or even a failed marriage – we tend to point the nger at others instead of taking responsibility for what we did. It is in the selfdiscovery of the things that you dislike that can cause you to abandon ship. And most times those things are demands – silent demands that you have placed on other people. We have to be careful that we don't place demands on people because like Michael Pearl said, "we need the opportunity to adjust our characters". And if you married the wrong person, could it be that you didn't give yourself time to adjust your character? Or, perhaps you haven't given yourself time to love your spouse enough to be patient while they adjust his or her character?
your best, marriage is not for you. It is for those who seek to be better and seek to make the lives of their spouse better. It is humbling and not self-seeking. It will turn your good into great! Today's Challenge: Everyone has a checklist. A checklist of what they are looking for in a spouse. Create a list of your personal strengths and list of your personal weaknesses. Be honest! Keep this list and when you are dating/courting someone you are beginning to have strong feelings for, show them your list and wait on their response. Both of you should know exactly what you are walking into. is is a good start! Jason Ottley

5 S.M.A.R.T. Ways To Become Unstuck in Life:
TURNING DEAD SITUATIONS INTO VICTORIES! by Hasani Pettiford
Are you stuck in a dead end job or relationship? Is your money looking funny? Do you walk around with an empty feeling inside of you? If so, there are ve things you must do to walk in God's perfect will.
Develop A Workaholic Mentality If someone offered you a tremendous sum of money, perhaps billions of dollars, but the exact amount would be determined by how well you could learn to speak French in two months time. You would embark on the most intense crash-course program of learning in your life! You would study from morning to night, burn the midnight oil, listen to language tapes, carry ash cards wherever you went, and seek out uent French speakers, so you could practice with them.
Dream Big Dreams People who take charge of their own lives are known for being visionaries. ese people have an uncanny ability to see well beyond their present day circumstances into their future. ey are always thinking two, ten or even twenty years down the road. Imagine yourself sitting before a large motion picture screen. You are on the screen. e important thing you see in these pictures is a vivid and detailed image of the person you want to become and things you want to accomplish. What do you see? Imagine ten years have passed and you are living your ideal life. What kind of person have you become? What are you doing, ideally? What do you have? When you dream big dreams, it puts you on a path that will bring you closer to God's intended purpose for your life. Set Goals No success can be achieved unless there is rst a goal to carry one into the threshold of accomplishment. And yet the great bulk of people continue to dri through life with no goals at all, or with only vague dreams, hopes and wishes. I once read about a Korean billionaire who gets up early every morning and spends an hour writing his goals 10
Optimal Living Magazine
over and over. Successful people who have gotten unstuck with the issues of life have always had clear, focused goals that have guided them to greatness. However, not all goals are equal. To ensure your success you must have SMART goals. SMART is an acronym for the following:
During those two months, no one could drag you near a time wasting television program. You would probably allow nothing to interfere with your progress other than the necessar y physical activities to sustain life itself. All for money! It's amazing what people will do once they are motivated. Once you nd your motivation in life and apply the same type of work ethic, it will be the key to take you places that you never imagined of going.
Speci c: states exactly what will be accomplished. Measurable: a milestone event with speci c dates given. Action-Oriented: sets up things to be done. Realistic: goals that can be achieved within geographic and other constraints. Timely: time allowed that is reasonable, but not too long.
Embrace Life's Failures Successful people who have managed to overcome their obstacles in life have experienced all types of setbacks, difficulties and undesirable results in life. e average person would view this as failure. And failing is something most people dread. But people who are unstuck view failure as an opportunity to grow and learn. How do you view failure?
Once you have SMART goals, success is almost guaranteed.
One of the key attributes of accomplished people is never
5 S.M.A.R.T Ways To Become Unstuck in Life: Turning Dead Situations Into Victories! (cont.) describing undesirable results as failure. Failure contains the seed of victory and of success. Failure teaches you what works and what doesn't. When you study the reasons for your failure and learn from it, you'll nd the key to your success. In L eadership Magazine, J. Wallace Hamilton states, "e increase of suicides, alcoholics, and even some forms of nervous breakdowns is evidence that many people are training for success when they should be training for failure." When you take the time to train for failure, it teaches you not to quit when opposition or undesirable results occur. It teaches that success is on the other side of failure. So embrace failure and learn how to turn it into success.
Be Persistent e last way to become unstuck with the issues of life is to be persistent. Persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again and again without giving up. Persistent people are stubborn. ey refuse to take no for an answer. ey believe that winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. ey refuse to surrender, refuse to relent, give up, cave in and quit.
Hasani Pettiford About the Writer
Persistent people develop a dogged determination to follow through their plans regardless of obstacles, criticisms or circumstances. You can have anything you want in life if you are willing to pay the price of persistence. If these 5 steps are diligently pursued, you will become unstoppable and begin to move into God's perfect will for your life!

e Wifey 101 Series: The Awesome Power of Speaking Blessings Over Your Husband and Children She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness. – Proverbs 31:26 s wives we should consider it a privilege to speak blessings over our husbands and children. Do you know that you are in a spiritual war for your family? ere are demonic principalities that are operating each day to make a mockery out of God's church. Satan does this by attacking foremost our marriages and then our children. is does not have to be proved to you. Just look around at the divorce rates, men that are not rising up in their spiritual positions in the home, and children going every which way but right. ere are only two kinds of power and they are that which comes from God and other from Satan. When I began to take a deeper walk in my prayer life I was able to see clearly many of the cunning attacks of the enemy. God started to show me how to strategically pray and speak over my husband and children. If you are tired of seeing your family hit from every angle, then you must begin to speak blessings on purpose over not only yourself but your husband and children. e word tells us that: Death and life are in the powerof the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit

thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) I am sure you have read this verse many times, but how many of us are really good at taming our tongue? In the book of James, it tells us that no man can tame it and from it we speak blessings and curse men who were made in the image of God (Read James 3). Our husbands and children need different things in each season of their lives and we must be discerning over what we should be speaking over them. When you begin to consistently do this you will see fruit that remains.. I have seen rsthand the changes that take place when I submit to God, resist the devil and speak good things over my husband and children. is may look like it is easier said than done. However,
speaking words that edify only comes from a woman that has submitted herself to Christ and has a transformed mind. What are you putting in? If you are looking at junk and listening to junk, then nothing but double junk will ow from your spring. e word of God tells us clearly that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. e mandate that God has given wives to care for their families does not only include cooking, cleaning, and having sex. But one of the most important things is watching over the ways of our households which includes spiritual warfare by speaking over our husbands and children and shaking the gates of hell. No one is going to do it for you. e world is against the church, the sanctity of marriage and the devil is aer our children. Will
Lifestyles: SEVEN SECRET HABITS OF ORGANIZED PEOPLE
Guess what? ere are no secret habits! Organized people simply have rules in place to help save time. Quick tip: Don't try to organize everything at once. Set aside a small amount of time each day for organizing (i.e., 15-20 minutes). You'll be surprised how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time. Start with the rst rule, and work your way down the list: 1. Reduce/eliminate before you organize. Remove everything
from the closet, drawer, or other container; clean it out, and only keep the items you love and really use on a consistent basis. If you can't bear to part with something, put it in a box marked "maybe" and store it away. On the label, describe the contents and the current date. If haven't used any of the items within six months, let it go! 2.Designate a place for everything. Every item must have an assigned place. For example: You should have one place for car/house keys (next to
By Rhonda Feimster
the door is best) and you'll never lose them again. Put a key holder on the wall right inside the door and hang your keys there as soon as you get in the house or you can use the purseket to keep your keys and things organized in your purse/handbag: www.purseket.com 3. Put things back. It's simple; aer you use an item, put it back where it belongs, right away. Most people have the intention of "putting it away later". is habit will save you a lot of cleaning, sorting, and organizing later. Optimal Living Magazine
Lifestyles: Seven Secret Habits of Organized People (cont.)
4. Write things down/don't procrastinate. Organized people keep lists, notes, and tasks in one consistent place such as a planner, or calendar. ey reference their lists and notes on a daily basis. Carry a small pocket notebook wherever you go so you can write things down immediately. en transfer the tasks or notes into your day planner, online calendar or to-do list, so you don't forget. Set goals and assign deadlines to get things done. 5. Don't allow papers to pile up. Place an inbox in a central location in the kitchen or on a small table in the entranceway for all incoming mail, notes from school, etc. en, once a day, or weekly, review your mail over a recycle container or shredder so
papers don't have a chance to multiply. Take action right away: read, shred, toss, delegate, le, add to your to-do list (if the action needed is on a future date), or do it now. Don't defer these decisions for later. 6. Clean as you go. It's much easier to clean things as you work than to let them pile up into a big cleaning session later. It's easier to do it things in smaller increments. 7. Staying organized. Only keep w h a t y o u u s e a n d e n j o y. Organized people believe in simplicity. Don't let anything take up space that doesn't have a useful or pleasurable purpose in your life. If aer a little while, things tend to start to get disorganized again, don't worry, you can go
back to step one and start over.

Poetic Moments "Who Can Stand in His Presence Without Being Changed" by Tanisha Hopson
As I lay across God's threshing oor, Jesus deposits more of Him and I walk away with less of me. I cry out to God for answers to life challenges; and he blesses me with insight and an anointing that surpasses my understanding. Who can stand in his presence without being changed? As I lay there silently, faced down, arms stretched wide; His mysteries are welcomed and spoken freely into my spirit. His love is like a gentle breath of fresh air; Covering me and keeping me, even in my darkest hour. î ˘e King's love is pure, everlasting, and holy! Who can stand in his presence without being changed? In His presence confession is a catalyst to my healing, For he searches the heart and digs up even the most hidden secrets with me. Yes, he brings forth all hidden motives and gives opportunity to bring it to the altar for a fresh start- never to be remembered again.. Who can stand in His presence without being changed? 18

news @ nature.com
"A recent survey shows that the western treatment for this sexual problem seems to be replacing more traditional medicines, including potions made from seal penises and reindeer antler velvet. This could be having a knock-on effect on the welfare of those animals, scientists say. However, conservationists largely remain unconvinced."

What else has changed is the attitude of people. Its almost like my husband and I have earned our membership in this club that makes it alright to talk about other women's breasts and genitals and your own. They are not sexual organs anymore, they are "a portal of entry or exit (whichever you prefer) and organs of sustenance". We have been accepted by relatives who would not visit us for we live 30 bloody minutes away from them (that is a f@#*ing long drive for some), but now I am told, "let us know if you need anything, its just a thirty minute drive". Oh really! Sure, will do.
Being married, not living together or being in a long term relationship, but being married means you must have children. That seems to be universal. If you choose not to you are pretty much an outcast. We took our time with this baby, but the five years from marriage to the birth of this child was a constant barrage of "so, when are you guys have a kid". I bet there were speculations of my being a lesbian (what with a wardrobe that consisted of nothing but jeans and shirts) or my husband being homosexual. Ah well, we have proven that we are both fertile. As for our sexuality, well if the ignorant associate homosexuality to infertility, its really their problem.
I am sure life and people around us will keep changing as our baby grows...and so will I. Sitting here typing this means my son has decided he will leave me be for an hour (if I am lucky). Here's hoping he will let me keep up with this blog business.

On a side note, he is still resistant to change as evident by his crying breakdown when he saw my new haircut. He says my hair looks crazy and he wants it back to the old way. Poor guy will just have to adjust to me with bangs.
The adventures of Little Man, Peanut and Sweet Pea are the daily memories and trials, our amazing moments and stories. I am blogging and cataloging the adventures of my children's lives, the ones that should be scrapbooked or put in their baby books, but aren't. This way I can capture all of the stories, update friends/family who choose to follow our stories and maybe give a few laughs to strangers who enjoy the humor of a 6 year old, the antics of a 4 year old, the sweetness of 3 year old.

Facing Fears
Little Man is our most sensitive child. He has had some typical childhood fears like the chicken behind his door or being scare the first time he was dropped off at school. But he also had a fear of the elevator at Home Depot. To be clear, he didn't have a fear of just any elevator, just the one on the roof of the parking lot at Home Depot. This is where Papa Bear has often taken the boys to get them out of the house, play on tractors and do manly stuff. Part of their routine was to park on the top deck and take the large service elevator down to the main level. But tragedy struck. One day they all got on the elevator and right before the doors closed Peanut ran off the elevator. Papa Bear had to follow him but Little Man didn't move fast enough and was stuck in the elevator. Papa Bear heard him crying and yelled to him not to move and it would come back up. He pushed the button and Little Man stayed put and when the elevator came back up they were all reunited. But ever since then, Little Man has refused to get on the elevator at Home Depot. Today the boys went to Home Depot while Sweet Pea and I went to a book store. The stairs they usually use were closed off and they were forced to use the elevator. Little Man bravely faced his fear and rode the elevator down without incident. I am always proud when my kids face fears head on even if they are forced by yellow tape barring the easy way down.

Paul McCartney was in New York on September 11, 2001, when the infamous terrorist attacks took place. He headlined the Concert For New York City just a few days later. In between, a film crew recorded the former Beatle's whirlwind media tour, that included interviews with Howard Stern, Dan Rather, and others, leading up to the concert.
Those interviews were culled together 10 years later for a Showtime special, The Love We Make, now available on DVD. There's also footage from the concert itself, with performances by David Bowie, Billy Joel, Elton John, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, The Who, and James Taylor, plus brief shots of Billy Crystal & Jim Carrey.
Following is a promo video from Showtime.
It all speeds by in a shade more than 90 minutes---it was made for cable, after all---, and the concert itself may still be available on DVD by itself, though I'd fast forward past Stern's on stage antics.
Rating: B-.

Arthur J. Penty, an English architect in private practice in York at the turn of the century, became associated with Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin as a freelance designer and exerted a fundamentally important (though largely unsung) influence on the stylistic principles now associated with Parker and Unwin's work at the First Garden City, Letchworth (founded 1903) and at Hampstead Garden Suburb in London (commenced 1905). He was a competent Arts and Crafts designer during a late phase of this idiom's effectiveness in England, believing it to be both culturally and socially appropriate in its reflection of the English temperament and its demand for high quality production. His concerns for the latter prompted him to be an architectural theorist, to popularize the work of Voysey and Lethaby, and to advocate greater on-site collaboration between architects and craftsmen and the virtual abolition of designing on paper. It also persuaded him to become a political activist and to originate a movement-Guild Socialism-which placed great faith in the potential governance of education and production by restored crafts guilds and which enjoyed a brief moment of success in the form of a National Guilds League just after the First World War. Medievalism is the key concept linking all aspects of his life's work-his devotion to the teachings of Morris, his respect for likeminded 19th-century practical idealists, his wish to encourage a return to systems of quality control and production effective in the Middle Ages, and his "medievalist" detailing of several of Parker and Unwin's landmark buildings.

Would buy again and again. Spent the week on the back of a car through rain. The only issue is the outside pocket is not water resistant. Many inner pockets.

Well our first few appointments fell through so we contacted a whole bunch. After we ate we went to talk to Manuel but he is working and almost never is home. We were able to talk to Manuel, 14 yr old reference that we got. He is really cool and I'm sure he'll be baptized. We had to go to Elder Rodrick's and Archundia's area to do an interview for a baptism that they are going to have. Returned kind of late and went again to visit Orobaldo.
Manuel and his friend Luis went to church! Two others showed up with another family which was cool. Manuel really liked the church and has been reading the book of Mormon and we didn't even ask him to---he is awesome. He really is a fast learner. After church we went to eat way far away and then we went back to Rodricks area for the baptism to help them out it went really well. Then we came back and contacted like beasts.
Today was really fun we washed our clothes quickly and then went with the zone leaders and the sisters to a place called villas del oeste. It's like a western place and they do shows and stuff it was funny. And we all had a good time.
Well today is my birthday---20 years old. Went to district meeting ---nothing special, a few happy bdays and nothing else. After we went to the comida at a really cool family, but had forgotten it was my birthday. We went to a appointment, which was a surprise party with a few members a cake. After that we went out and worked at night. We went to an appointment, a FHE with the family we had eaten with in the afternoon, and they had lied. They had remembered it was my birthday and had a really super good cake prepared. All in all a really good day.
We did some contacting in the morning then went to talk with Manual, the older one, and again not there but tomorrow we are going and hopefully we should find him. Had a meeting with Manuel the younger. He is still progressing super well. We even got permission from his mom. YAY! We were able to meet with Orobaldo and he has officially given up smoking and drinking coffee and said he will go to church with us. That is super exciting.
We made some cool plans for references to make the members help us even more. We made a reference box. We went to see Manuel and still nothing with him but his daughter said tomorrow at 4 so we will go then. After we ate we went to see the other Manuel. Out of nowhere Luis who always listens but never seemed too interested, and who is cousin of a bunch of members, said that he want to be baptized and has asked permission already. YAY! Now we have two. Went to see a reference but she wasn't there so we went out and contacted. And no one opened darn people

Happy reading. 🙂
In the next six days that followed, he drifted in and out of consciousness and each time he was conscious, he became more inclined to believe them. He had really lost his memory.
They called him Peter.
But it didn't ring half a bell!
When he was awake, he was groggy.
He was getting better, they said.
He would be out sooner than expected, they said.
How soon? They never said.
The woman they called his wife, Sophia, came in everyday, and watched him with that blank expression of hers. Her eyes seemed to speak volumes but he couldn't quite place what exactly he was missing. He couldn't wait to get out and piece his life together, somehow!
When he felt strong enough, he walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in front of the mirror.
He was well built with strong tanned arms, pointed nose and random scars here and there (from the accident he was told). Quite good looking he had to admit… white teeth, nice smile, black hair blah blah blah.
He had no idea who this person was!
When he got back to the room, he stopped and stared at Sophia. She stared back.
"I married you?" He just had to ask.
"I married you?"
"I heard you the first time."
"So why ask again?"
"It was a rhetorical question"
"Ok so, I married you right?"
"You're asking for the third time?"
"Apparently I am"
"That was rhetorical too!"
He sighed and stared at her. He had a feeling that this wasn't the first time they were having this 'back and forth'.
"Are you going to answer me?"
"I have to right? Ok, yes you did. Why do you ask?"
"Because I don't think you're my type."
An awkward silence followed. That was unkind, why did he say that? He started to apologize when she began to giggle.
"Ermm, and you're laughing because?"
"I'm glad you're getting back to yourself, that's all."
"Yeah. An ass."
He couldn't help but smile.
"And you're the babe that married an ass?"
"Unfortunately so." She retorted right back, smiling.
"Oh yeah?"
She had a sharp mouth; he had to be wary of that in the future.
She walked up to him and hugged him. Slowly, he responded and held her back.
"It's alright; it'll all come back to you in time."
He hoped she was right.
Just then, one of the doctors came in. As she let go, she whispered something he couldn't quite get. He looked into her eyes, searching for any meaning, but she just walked back to her seat in the corner, blank expression back in place. What a character!
A few minutes later, as he fell asleep Sophie sighed and shut her eyes too.
He wasn't exactly sure of what it was that woke him up. The strange dream he was having or the people moving round in the room.
He opened his eyes. It was dark!
He could make out two silhouettes moving around the room. For some reason he didn't panic; he tried not to move.
His moved his eyes to where Sophia was sleeping and found a third silhouette bending over her.
Before he could make a move, he felt hands hold him down. He struggled in futility for a few seconds before someone whispered in his ear:
"Calm down, we're getting you out of here to a safe place. Shhhhhhh!"
At first he wanted to fight them off, but on second thought, maybe they were right. He hadn't been able to shake off the feeling that something wasn't quite right about this place.
They got him out of bed and into a wheelchair and immediately they were on the move.
"Two more minutes. Hurry!" Someone whispered.
They seemed to know their way around in the dark and moved urgently.
He heard a door open, and then another… and then another. And then, he was outside, facing a van.
He barely had time to take in the cool night breeze when the back door opened and hands pulled him inside. The lights in the car park and the building returned as the door was slammed shut.
The engine revved and with a screech of tires, they were speeding off.
He struggled to his feet and looked through the window at the hospital he'd been in all this while.
Only there was no hospital! Only a small bungalow surrounded by trees!
