The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
This project will finalize HSPF watershed model construction by incorporating internal phosphorus loading in modeled lakes, run a suite of implementation scenarios and generate a GenScn project containing model output. The consultant will produce HSPF watershed models that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter TMDLs. The consultant will deliver all modeling files for baseline and implementation scenarios and provide a GenScn project containing model output.
This project will support a civic engagement cohort that will be offered in southwest Minnesota to foster partnering and build capacity of local government, organizations, and residents for effective civic engagement in water protection and restoration. This project will also build networks and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection. The cohort will be administered through the Minnesota River Board (MRB), established in 1995 with a goal of focusing water management efforts on the local level.
The Discovery Farms program is a farmer-led effort to gather information on soil and nutrient loss on farms in different settings across Minnesota. The mission of Discovery Farms Minnesota is to gather water quality information under real-world conditions.
The Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) program identifies environmental contaminants for which current health-based standards currently do not exist or need to be updated, investigate the potential for human exposure to these chemicals, and develop guidance values for drinking water. Contaminants evaluated by CEC staff include contaminants that have been released or detected in Minnesota waters (surface water and groundwater) or that have the potential to migrate to or be detected in Minnesota waters.
This Sauk River Watershed District project will conduct the Whitney Park river clean-up, adopt a river program and other community events as part of their healthy living programs; will collaborate with the city of St. Cloud to install a rain garden demonstration site at Whitney Park; use local radio and public television stations to promote the District's "neighborhood rain garden initiative" and other incentive programs.
The Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certification Program (MAWQCP) is a voluntary opportunity for farmers and agricultural landowners to take the lead on implementing conservation practices that protect water quality. Those who implement and maintain approved conservation practices will be certified and in turn obtain regulatory certainty for a period of ten years. This program will help address concerns about changing regulatory requirements from multiple state and federal agencies.
This project will provide a better understanding of nitrogen fertilizer management on irrigated, sandy soils that are common in central and west-central Minnesota.

On March 11, Colorado Headwaters Chapter President, Kirk Klancke, and chapter board member, Anna Drexler-Dreis, joined Good Morning Grand County to talk about water. Klancke was joined by Grand County Water and Sanitation District Manager, Bruce Hutchins, Klancke and Hutchins talk about the issues facing the water supply in Grand County and how the Learning by Doing initiative will help protect stream flows and temperatures of the Fraser River.
Klancke also speaks about the Fraser Flats River Enhancement project. Part of this project will include revegetation along the Fraser as well as stream channeling. Stream channeling will create a smaller river bed within the natural river bed to keep water consolidated during the low flow periods. This will keep the water moving faster, colder, and provide holding areas for trout.
Part of the project will also include a half mile of the river being open to the public for fishing. "We can improve the stream sections of the Fraser and its tributaries to the point where it will be healthier now than it was when I started fishing there 46 years ago," said Klancke.
Drexler-Dreis talked more about the Fraser Flats project, the first Learning by Doing project since its inception. The first step in the Fraser Flats project will entail planting willows along the Fraser River for just under a mile in an area that was heavily overgrazed. With willows in place, the river will experience more stable conditions and improve the stream banks to provide more trout habitat. Volunteers will help with the harvesting and planting of these willows.
The segments below were from the Good Morning Grand County episode on March 11, 2017. If you wish to view the whole episode, you can check out their YouTube channel!

The photographers chosen for the top 50 deserve their success. Inclusion in this select group is the result of a lot of work, thought and money to create and market their bodies of work. Many of the portfolios take on important social issues with a compassionate, activist eye. Congratulations to those who are members of the Critical Mass 2015.
However, while looking at the top 50 photographers, I couldn't help noticing there isn't a single African American photographer on the list.
Of the fifty, there are a few non-white photographers, plenty of non-white people being photographed, but no African American photographers themselves. The definition of critical mass is "The minimum amount of fissile material needed to maintain a nuclear chain reaction," and it doesn't seem right to not have a single black photographer in the mix.
So, why are no African-American photographers in this collection? Here are a few possible answers:
1. They just didn't enter.
2. The one's who entered weren't good enough to be chosen.
3. The fine art photo world is just as troubled by institutional racism as any other organization in the United States.
4. There aren't many African American photo curators.
5. African Americans are vastly underrepresented in every facet of the arts except jazz, rap, and R&B music That's only because THEY INVENTED THOSE ARTS.
6. Some of the above.
7. All of the above.
I don't have an issue with Photolucida. They aren't what's wrong and a strong case can be made that they do more right for equal access than most. It's the entire fine art photo community needing to be taken to task. We need to make more opportunities for African American artists. We need to make a focused effort in this regard and we need to do it now. It's that simple.
The photo world today reminds me of that famous scene in Animal House where the Omega Fraternity pretends to be welcoming Kent and Larry ("A Wimp and a Blimp") but walk them over to the corner with "Mohammad, Jugdish, Sydney and Clayton".
A good curator is someone who can look both see the universality and individuality in a body of work. They are true experts in the field. Curators help us understand and make sense of what artists are doing and thinking. In the ambient image culture we now live in, this has never been more important. However, curators are human and bring to the table their own values and social filters. This is not a bad thing except in the fact that most photo curators today look the same.
By my count, there are 208 Photo Lucida Critical Mass Jurors and only one of them is African American. His name is Charles Guice. To have over 200 very intelligent jurors for a photo competition is amazing. The roster is very impressive and represents a wide variety of tastes and speciality. The fact that less than 1% of these jurors is African American speaks to a larger issue. In full disclosure, I didn't google every name and check faces. If there are more, accept my apology and let me know so I can make the correction.
So, I have more questions:
1. Does the art world need some form of affirmative action?
2. What would that look like?
3. Why aren't as many African Americans becoming curators at prestigious museums founded and supported by rich white people?
4. Did I just answer my own question?
Now, the last piece I wrote about this issue introduced me to a very active population of African American photographers and scholars. It isn't that they don't exist but they aren't included in the larger conversation. The issue of race in America doesn't have a simple solution. Earnest white privilege (on full display right here) needs direct its energy to support African American and persons of color in the arts. A lot has been done but a lot more is called for. The current state is only appears equal and equitable if you aren't looking very hard.

I flew back home to London from Barcelona last night, landing just as news was breaking of the attacks in Paris.
Cue a journey home on the train and tube updating Twitter and the BBC news app for more details.
Unbelievable. Heart-breaking.
I watched the people around me doing the same, whispering about updates to the death-count and trying to make sense of it all. And then home and lying awake until 2am, watching news reporters and various 'talking heads' trying to make sense of it all.
And that's futile. Trying to find sense in madness like this is a waste of time. The people who did this don't share our values, our perspectives our the value we place on human life and a free and open society. So it's exceptionally difficult to understand their point of view.
They didn't attack a government department, a military installation or a physical symbol of the French State. They attacked the essence of society itself: innocent people out enjoying themselves on a Friday night. Doing things that obviously offend these monsters, like listening to live music and enjoying sport.
Why does this hit so hard, when there are all kinds of other abuses and attacks going on around the world? For me, it's because this could have been London. I can identify with the victims – they were just like me, like my friends and family. Just trying to enjoy the start of another weekend, eating a meal, telling stories and listening to music.
We don't know (yet) exactly who did this. But we know that, just like all terrorists, this was about causing fear and spreading hatred.
Let's not allow that to happen.
Let's not finger-point and blame entire communities for what happened here. Let's not blame refugees, who were trying to escape this kind of madness in the first place. Let's not use it as an excuse to make political points or to 'prove' that we were right all along.
Last night, Twitter illustrated both the best and worst of humanity on a single screen. The offers of a safe place to sleep, the sharing of embassy contact details. But also the 'whataboutery', the 'I told you so' statements and the celebrities weighing in with platitudes. The best and worst in a single Twitter feed.
Let's hope the former prevail in the weeks and months ahead.

Wine tastings are great on their own. But often it's much more pleasurable -- enlightening, even -- to taste them with food. After all, this is most likely how you'll be drinking them -- in the real world of daily dinners.
With that in mind, consider holding a wine-tasting dinner party, with food as an equally important partner.
Make it a potluck. Have friends bring a bottle or two of wine and a food item. You can make it appetizers or casseroles; maybe focus on Italian food with Italian wines, or do a tour of Asian cuisines with world Rieslings, or regional American food with American wines. The combinations are almost endless. (Here's a look at French Food and Wine Regions with loads of recipes and wine suggestions.)
To get you started, we've paired some of our top-rated recipes with wines.
- Merlot Wine Pairing Recipes
- Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Pairing Recipes
- Chardonnay Wine Pairing Recipes
- Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio Wine Pairing Recipes
- Find More Wine Pairing Recipes
Related: Know This, And You'll Taste Wine Like A Pro (And Enjoy It More)
Before you eat, take a few small sips of each wine to get a sense of the wine. Then pour a bit more from each bottle and compare with the food. See what you find out -- the results may surprise you. A wine that tasted deep and delicious as a sipper by itself may turn out to overwhelm one dish. It might be perfect with the next.

The first part of the trip will be a trek across part of Uganda to see the endangered Silverback Gorilla in the wild. £300 of your donations will go to the Ugandan Wildlife Society to help conserve the remaining Silverback population. The second part of the trip will be the playground build. This part of the trip will be spent living with a local Ugandan community. The group of Loughborough University students I am travelling with will spend this time transforming an empty field into a playground for the local school, not only for children now but for years to come. We hope to have a lasting impact on the development of children in this community. Furthermore, East African Playgrounds employs disadvantaged young adults and former street children through an apprenticeship scheme, teaching welding, prefabrication and playground installation. £1100 of the donations will go directly to East African Playgrounds, funding the build itself. The final £600 of donations goes towards the cost of the project, paying for food, travel and accommodation for the three week trip.I was fortunate enough to have a safe place to play, socialize and develop while growing up and I am going to Uganda to help provide this opportunity for those who need it most. None of this will be possible without your donations, so please give generously!Much love,Sam Samuel Marson

"You wouldn't."
"I would."
"You couldn't."
"I could."
"You can't."
"I can."
"You won't."
"I will."
This part of the game has remained unchanged in over two years -- even at two she somehow knew the proper won't-will combinations, which amazed me. Anyway, then I resign myself to a victim's fate: "Oh well, ok. Let's hear your song." I don't know how or why the song became part of the sequence, but it's apparently essential. She usually meanders through some long, ethereal, improvised poem-song about mountains that always ends with the same line: "...and the little boy stands up and says, The End." At that point the fearsome Rollie Monster rolls down and damages me with much noise and chaos.
She then does a miraculous twirling conversion where she transforms herself into a magical doctor and lovingly repairs every part of my broken body. If I play my cards right, I can usually get a back rub out of the deal, and it's important to note that the entire game can take place without me moving from the couch. This hospital phase can last up to 20 minutes, so we don't usually do many cycles of the game back to back.
Tonight Ella wanted to try the game, and she doesn't really get it, but I managed to remember her first attempt at the Rollie Monster song. Picture it in a little impish toddler voice, happily singing random notes just before rolling down to crush me:
"It's all ok
It is all ok
It is the end
And a polar bear"

When value-added tax (VAT) was introduced in the UAE and Saudi Arabia on January 1, 2018, initially stakeholders were wary on the potential impact of the new tax policy on the economy. A study conducted by Alliance Business Centers Network said that the UAE would be least affected by the imposition of VAT because it is one of the lowest globally compared to countries such as the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Mexico, South Africa and Australia. The study revealed that the VAT in UK and France was 20 per cent, which is substantially higher than the five per cent implemented in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. With the adoption of VAT in the real estate sector, investors and stakeholders are weighing the impact on market valuations. According to Deloitte, in the UAE, commercial property is clustered in the taxable bracket and therefore the costs of buying or leasing such property are likely to increase.

Latino Clergy Won't Bless Martin's Proposals
Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin got some pushback from Latino clergy members on his push for cable a la carte and lowering leased-access rates.
Martin has pitched both as helping minority programmers, but the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, which claims to represent 16,000 churches in 32 states, said Martin's leased-access plan will "limit the number of TV channels available for networks owned by minorities."
Martin instead has argued that making leased cable time more affordable will make it easier for niche programmers to afford to get on cable systems.
"Increasing minority-owned media outlets should be the FCC's top priority," said coalition president Rev. Miguel Rivera. "Instead, this chairman has proven, time and time again, that his interests lie elsewhere. Chairman Martin's obsession with decimating minority cable-station ownership through a la carte pricing laws has been followed by a series of attempts to practically give away cable-channel capacity to home shopping networks and other entities rather than making it available to emerging Hispanic-owned networks."
Borrowing a phrase used by FCC Democratic commissioner Jonathan Adelstein about another Martin proposal to help minorities -- leasing digital-TV spectrum -- Rivera urged the other commissioners to vote down the latest "media-sharecropping" proposal.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2013 -- TopFreeMmorpg.net, a new and innovative website that offers the freshest and most comprehensive coverage of the MMO industry, has released its Top MMORPG 2014 list. This newest website features 14 of the most highly anticipated upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) of 2014.
"2014 is going to a good year for MMO players. There are quite a few upcoming MMORPG games that look very promising. In addition, there are quite a few console MMO games that will be launched in 2014," said Markus Fournier, editor. "Most of the information about these games is scattered all over the web on different websites so we thought of compiling data about MMORPGs in 2014 and putting them on one post so that people can get a good idea of what they can look forward to playing soon."
So which new MMORPG will people be playing in 2014?
Visit this webpage to find out: http://topfreemmorpg.net/top-mmo-games-2014-list/
The Top MMORPG 2014 list includes basic information about each MMORPG such as the game developer, publisher, estimated release date, business model (free or pay to play), quotes from interviews, and a summary of the game's expected features.
Many of the games will allegedly have innovative gameplay content such as sandbox features, interactive terrain, player-run economies, player politics, non-linear storytelling, extensive crafting/player housing, and more.
Since all of the MMO games in the list are currently under development, the only sources of information are the official websites, press releases, and any interviews that the developers have given to the press. This means that much of the information given is not set in stone, especially the release dates. Details are liable to change at any time so the TopFreeMmorpg.net writers update the list as soon as new information about the MMORPGs becomes available.
For more information about the top free MMORPG games, visit the main website page at http://topfreemmorpg.net.

TheBridge profile: John Stanford
Name: John Stanford
Current city: Washington, DC
Current job: Managing Director, Prism Group Public Affairs
Past job: Vice President, Madison Services Group
Q. Favorite spot for a coffee meeting? Centrolina
Q. Describe one way how a skill you learned in a previous job helped you in your new job. Teaching high school math as part of Teach for America convinced me that you have to keep it simple for an audience to follow you. Whether it's a 17-year old or a Senator, you have to boil down your argument to be persuasive.
Q. Job advice in three words? Ask for things.
Q. How are you (or your company, org, nonprofit) currently bridging the gap between politics and tech? One of our government affairs practices centers around fostering entrepreneurship and innovation. Technology has made an entrepreneur out of all of us, and government should embrace that.
Q. Underrated virtue in an employee? Punctuality, which is shockingly underrated. The most visible commitment to a company, cause, or campaign is simply showing up when you agreed you would. Failing to do so sets everything off on the wrong foot.
Q. How many hours of sleep do you get a night? 6 Hours + (all depending when the puppy wakes me up)
Q. Company you're watching that's under the radar? Via - a relatively new ride-sharing startup (but keep the secret, because it means I ride alone).
Q. What can Silicon Valley teach DC? Challenging what's possible. DC has largely forgotten how to try new things and is stuck in a default of "No", while innovators out West are constantly willing to fail to achieve the impossible.

recently i updated my gentoo box. the computer is a c2c processor with a fast nvidia graphics card. but what is cool about that "you" wonder?
actually the new portage kde 4.3.3 seems to be very stable (read usable) for me. the proprietary graphics driver nvidia.ko is doing great! i use suspend2ram about 10 times a day. i leave the pc in suspend2ram for days and it only needs 3W of power! suspend2ram needs 2-3 secs for going down and about 7 secs to come back up! plasma is now at a point that i see it is going to be useful. the expose clone of the kde folks is very very nice to use. dragon player seems to get stable so i can use it with the smb:// kio plugin to watch films from my server. firefox64 selfcompiled now uses a 64bit flash plugin. and finally nearly all applications i'm using regularly work like a charm, which include:
- firefox (even watching flash films, fullscreen still stutters but then usually once can do: mplayer -fs /tmp/FlashAVE3 (name is somehow similar)
- very fast 3d support (nvidia i love you!) in kde and in fullscreen games as well as normal 2d acceleration for movies
- that said, the new kde desktop effects are the best user experience i've had for years now (i didn't test vista/win7) but mac os x
- sound seems to be working now. to be honest i don't understand why (didn't test skype tough)
- the game 'spring' runs with 280fps on my computer (that is a peak value of course) but then with medium details on a map with 5on5 (10 kaik ais) it still seems to be no problem to get decent 60fps!
to conclude: i'm very happy especially since this suspend2ram thing now works. both pcs (i just cloned the gentoo image from the first pc) did work with the same settings altough both use different hardware.
that is really really cool!
currently i'm looking forward getting:
- into kdevelop 3.9.95
- akonadi: using a backend !google for pim (i don't have a google calender nor do i use google mail)
- getting rid of my laptop with this awful radeon r300 card, i'll probably buy a "hp elite" with a nvidia card and a 6mb L2 cache (c2c cpu)
to all gentoo readers out there: i love this distribution so much since portage is doing well and the update (although taking long) was a great success.
UPDATE: i forgot to feature the graphics card i use: it is a 'Gigabyte GeForce 9600 GT Passiv 512MB for 83,90 euro' (20 nov 2009) which is as silent as you can imagine: 0 dB

Oliver Morrissey joined emotive. in the summer of 2017 as a Senior Account Executive before moving to the Project Management team in April this year. He has a BSc in Biomedical Sciences from Royal Holloway, University of London, and joined emotive. with over a year's experience in healthcare public relations.
What are you responsible for?
My team, led by our Project Director, Cécile, is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of projects. Our role is to make sure that we have enough resource both in the office and externally to fulfil the project requirements and that everyone in the office has what they need to do their job to the best of their ability. We then coordinate projects and the teams involved, making sure they're delivered successfully and on time.
Talk me through your typical day.
The first thing I do when I get into the office is check our internal resourcing tool, to see what needs to get done that day and the priority of each project. I then check in with each team to make sure they're clear on what needs to be done, and there's nothing holding them up from starting their day. The rest of my day is usually made up of internal project meetings and talking to suppliers, or supporting the client services team in managing the project.
Project management is extremely varied and I co-operate with pretty much everyone in the office on a daily basis. I work with client services to pull together budgets and proposals for new business. As a project begins, I work closely with the whole team to build a full timeline, which I'll work to during strategy and content development, creative design and technical development and finally, delivery, ensuring the internal collaboration of all teams throughout. I also do a fair amount of quality assurance testing, content population and reviews of work throughout the day.
On top of that, I am part of the Social Club committee so I am involved in organising social events for the team, which includes things like our Christmas party, monthly breakfasts and charity events, such as the Colour Run we did in July. It's great having so much variety in my role and being given the time to make sure everyone is regularly rewarded for all the hard work they put in!
Describe a favourite project you've worked on.
We worked on a project to develop an online learning platform teaching physicians techniques for using certain medical products. We worked very closely with the client to create the brand completely from scratch, including developing the brand identity and the full marketing plan. I enjoyed the freedom to get really creative with my ideas and seeing them come to fruition.
What do you love most about your job at emotive.?
Being a project manager means I get to work with all the different teams at emotive. It makes the role constantly variable and interesting as the teams work very differently and everyone has their own unique take on a project. Even though each team has their own objectives and tasks, it is always satisfying to see how everyone comes together to produce something special for the client.
What three words would you use to describe your job?
Collaborative, holistic, technical
Who has been the most influential person in your life to date?
My Dad. He came from very little and still works extremely hard every day to give me everything I have.
What has been the most fun since you've had during your time at emotive.?
We held a very British themed street party to celebrate this year's Royal Wedding, including our very own "emotive. Great British Bake Off'. The judges were hilarious and we all got to try lots of delicious cakes made by different members of the team – it was a great success and makes all the work we do on the Social Club worthwhile.
What is your favourite sandwich?
Hands down, Chicken and Sweetcorn Mayo.

"The Menorah: From the Bible to Modern Times"
by Steven Fine.
Harvard University Press (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2016).
273 pp., $29.95.
Steven Fine, a professor of Jewish history at Yeshiva University in New York City, explores biblical, cultural and religious history through the lens of what he rightly calls in his conclusion "the oldest religious symbol in all of Western culture."
The menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum, originally one of the sacred vessels of the Temple of Jerusalem, has become a symbol of both the Jewish faith and the modern state of Israel, symbolizing the continuity between the Jews of the Bible and contemporary Jews, and the rebirth of a Jewish state in the land promised to Abraham and Sarah and their descendants in the Book of Genesis.
While that is its major focus, Fine also brings to light the fascination with and use of the menorah by Christians, especially Catholics, over the centuries, and even its depiction in Muslim mosques.
The book begins with the sculptured image of the menorah on the Arch of Titus in Rome, erected by the emperor to celebrate his hard-fought victory over the Jews who had rebelled against Roman rule in 70 C.E. (the Common Era). Titus destroyed the second Temple of Jerusalem and brought back its sacred vessels, most prominently the menorah, to be placed in his own Temple of Peace in Rome. The relief shows Roman soldiers carrying the menorah, the altar of Divine Presence, a Torah (Bible) scroll and other sacred vessels plundered from the Jerusalem Temple, the same Temple that Jesus revered so much that he felt it must be cleansed.
The menorah is described in the books of Exodus 25, the prophet Zechariah 4, 2 Chronicles and 1 Maccabees (which the author notes is preserved in the Catholic and Christian Orthodox Bible though not in the Jewish or Protestant Bibles) and referred to numerous times throughout the Scriptures. Fine weaves into his story references to the menorah in Jewish and Christian literature and scholarship over the ages, ranging from Josephus to modern times. He notes that menorahs can be found not only in synagogues around the world but in Christian churches as well, especially in Rome but also throughout the world.
The menorah has long been sought by scholars and archaeologists, especially in Rome but also in Jerusalem, based upon ancient and medieval legends that it was secretly taken first to Constantinople and then back to Jerusalem. Fine, noting that the menorah can rightly be called the "Jewish Holy Grail," documents these searches and their ultimate futility.
He devotes an entire chapter to debunking the myth, still believed by many Jews, that the Temple menorah is hidden in the Vatican and notes the open access, especially since the Second Vatican Council, which the Holy See has given to Jewish scholars to search for it throughout the entirety of the Vatican Archives.
The book mentions the many references to the menorah in literature, including Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story, "The Jew's Breastplate." The volume includes 50 color illustrations ranging from Los Angeles to Europe to the modern state of Israel, which help the reader understand the book's detailed stories and descriptions.

We had our final lesson on our creation theme in Sunday school this morning. We made mobiles showing what happened on each of the days. We had a great morning with lots of chat from the children and some tasty snack at the end.
In Bible class we looked at the verse;
'You say, "I am allowed to do anything" —but not everything is good for you. You say, "I am allowed to do anything"—but not everything is beneficial.' (1 Corinthians 10:23 NLT)
The young people worked through a collection of statements and decided which were definitely beneficial, which were definitely wrong and which fell into 'grey areas'. They gave their thoughts on these and talked through the way to deal with different choices that they will face as they grow up. We discussed the importance of thinking carefully about the decisions we make. We finished with a short time of prayer and some munchies.

This Cinema Does Special Dog Screenings
This cinema does special dog screenings 🐶 📽
Posted by BuzzFeed UK on Monday, August 21, 2017
This movie theater in central London is offering Sunday morning screenings that welcome dogs…yes, the movies have gone to dogs. It looks adorable but if you think someone talking during the movie is bad, imagine what happens when you got a yorkie that is just barking through the best parts? I would love to have Dachshund chilling with me while I watch a great big screen movie.

(ass' uh hehl) Personal name meaning "God acted" or "God made." 1. Brother of Joab and Abishai, David's nephew (2 Samuel 2:18). He was a commander in David's army (2 Samuel 23:24). He was a fleet-footed individual who pursued Abner as the latter fled following his defeat at Gibeon. Unable to dissuade Asahel from pursuing him, Abner slew him. That act led at last to the murder of Abner by Asahel's brother Joab (2 Samuel 3:27-30).
2. A Levite during the reign of Jehoshaphat, Asa's son. Asahel was sent out along with several princes, other Levites, and priests to teach the people of Judah the book of the law of God (2 Chronicles 17:8). 3. A Levite under Hezekiah, the king of Judah following Ahaz. Asahel, along with ten others, assisted the chief officers in charge of contributions, tithes, and dedicated objects. Asahel's title was that of overseer. 4. The father of Jonathan who along with Jahaziah opposed Ezra's direction for the men of Judah to separate themselves from the foreign wives they had married. Ezra indicated they had sinned in marrying foreign women (Ezra 10:15).

"Pray for me"- Could be three of the most costly words anyone can say. They are expensive because they cost us our vanity and require a hefty endowment of humility. It takes a lot for us to ask for prayer. Many times we can underestimate the value of asking for prayer and the power in praying for one another. Prayer can become the last resort instead of our GO TO.
1 Timothy 2:1-5 says, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
We are exhorted to pray for others - including our country's leaders, our authorities at work and elsewhere, our church leaders, our co-workers, friends, and family. We are admonished to pray for those who may never ask us for prayer.
Of course that means praying for those with which we agree and with those we do not. We have reached a point where we should be able to pray for loved ones and enemies just the same. For both are in need of peace and God's blessing.
During this time of fasting and prayer it would be good to add a consistency and order to our daily prayer. Whenever a name comes to mind- write it down and pray for them. And if by the end of your day you haven't thought of anyone in particular- ask God to show you who needs to be covered. He will be faithful to lay someone on your heart. You don't have to have a specific need in mind. Simply pray that peace that surpasses all understanding would invade their heart and bring them comfort. Pray that the peace of God that takes a life that feels so scattered and puts it all back together- would overshadow them and elevate their lives.
As you remember others in prayer today and in the coming week- remember that your name is being whispered in prayer as well!
Instead of a song suggestion - today we would love to recommend a truly brilliant, hilarious and moving film entitled, WAR ROOM. It is absolutely a MUST SEE! Not only will it direct the steps we should take in prayer but illuminates the POWER of PRAYER!
QUOTE OF THE DAY: BECAUSE HE BENDS DOWN TO LISTEN, I WILL PRAY AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH. Psalm 116:2

For example, I upload a product which costs me $10. The price in my store is $15.
Suddenly, the product on AliExpress goes on sale for say, 50% off, therefore costing me $5. Would the price in my store retain the same $15 or would it drop in price since that product price is lowered.
I asked this because if it's the case where the price lowers as the AliExpress prices lower, I think it would be a great idea to have an option where it only monitors the original price and disregards the sale price. Then all the storefront manager will have to do is adjust prices manually in price ranges for what they want to go on sale. If they don't they will keep the same prices and save more money.
Hey ip0wnn00bs
Oberlo has an auto-updates feature so you can decide if you'd like your products to update with Aliexpress or not! If you log in to your Oberlo app and go to Settings you can scroll down to see all the options available.
Here is a more thorough guide explaining the options. Does that clear things up for you? Let me know!
Hey ip0wnn00bs yes, when you choose "Update Price Only" it will update all the existing products in your store the next time an update occurs from AliExpress. Does that answer your question? 🙂
Magda Forgot this was there, haha thanks.
If I select do nothing for the price but then set it to update price only a while after, will it refresh the prices of current in store products with what's currently on AliExpress?

Driving home from my workout one morning this week, Peter Gabriel was singing on the radio about the rain coming down on him. Why do they play this stuff when it's really raining out? Especially when it's been raining non-stop in Vancouver for weeks and weeks without let up. When my dogs are permanently wet and stinky. When my SUV is permanently filthy and stinky. When the skin between my toes is webbed and stinky. Enough already!
Okay, I'm moaning about the rain because this my way of leading up to what may be the craziest decision of my life to date.
But wait, I'm not finished rationalizing quite yet. Remember, my New Year's Eve wasn't quite up to par; for some reason I don't consider raised voices, stomping feet and slamming doors delightful. (See Happy F–ing New Year in F–ing Paradise.) Also, consider the fact that I've been feeling rather left out and sorry for myself lately, since my husband, the Original Obnoxious One just went skiing for several days with his buddies and is planning yet another guys' trip, this time golfing in Bandon in mid February. Yeah, yeah I know that Bandon is a golfer's dream – trust me, I've heard that many, many times. In addition, my son, the Obnoxious One is going to an all inclusive in the Dominican Republic over reading week in February with his buddies. Heck, even my daughter, the Demon Child, went skiing at Big White a few weeks ago with her friends.
Meanwhile I sit at home, holding down the fort…looking after the dogs and whomever else is left behind. Doing the usual…cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, schlepping up dog poop. And hunched over my computer day in, day out.
.Are you feeling sorry for me yet? Can you hear the violins playing for my pity party?
But since this is a New Year and a new phase of my life, (I've recently joined the half century club – oh joy), I've decided to take matters into my own hands, and I WANT SUN. So I offered to take my 16 year old daughter and 2 of her friends to Hawaii for a week. Without my husband or son – a girls' road trip over March break. I figured I could soak up some rays, do a little shopping, relax, unwind and since she would have her friends along, she would be happy too. Brilliant, right? The Demon Child totally jumped on my suggestion and signed her friends up within moments of my uttering those fatal words.
Amazing how quickly teenagers can respond to something that interests them – who would have guessed?!
So now we're really going…to Waikiki…for 6 days.
Reality is settling in and I'm starting to shake. Each of the parents has taken me aside and murmured how brave and wonderful I am. What the heck have I done??? Three beautiful, headstrong, hormonal 16 year old girls, including the Demon Child, and me spending 6 days together in a hotel room. Deep breath now.
Okay…well I'm not totally nuts; I have rented a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite at one end of the beach. Should be a little quieter here I think, I hope. And I've read them the riot act: NO boys, NO alcohol, NO drugs, in the room by 11pm and they MUST have dinner with me every night.
Doesn't matter that I've never been to Waikiki or Honolulu before. And doesn't matter that it's been 12 years since I've visited Hawaii at all and then it was only Kauai. Not much difference between Kauai 12 years ago and Waikiki now, right? And who cares
when if the Demon Child has a melt down? Just because she's had a temper tantrum at some point on each of our trips the past few years. And no way the 3 girls will have a fight – after all, they're BFF's.
Stop with the negative chatter…only positive thinking from here on. This is a brilliant plan, remember?!
So, I'm going to load up my ipod with lots of happy music (What a wonderful World), pack light-hearted books and magazines, bring feel good clothes, and PRAY. I think I'll also stock up on coffee and wine the moment we land..lots of each…TONS in fact… just for me.
Yeah, I must be batty, but don't worry, I'll keep you posted. Really!

The Proapproach
Having explored the various sources that form the bases on which to build therapeutic stories in the last chapter, the next question becomes, "How do you structure those ideas into a metaphor and present it to the child?" Fortunately, the process is not difficult: just three simple steps with which, by now, I hope you are already familiar. Each story in Part Two is preceded by a heading, "Therapeutic Characteristics," detailing the Problems the story addresses, the Resources it seeks to develop, and the Outcomes it offers. I refer to this as the PRO-Approach (the acronym for Problems, Resources, and Outcomes) and find it a pragmatic basis for building metaphors as well as for maintaining focus on the therapeutic outcome.
It is very easy at times to get caught up in the problem-focused story of the child or child's parent. Their story, as yet, has no resolution—as evidenced by the fact that they are sitting in our office discussing it. Let us take the example of a mother who brings a teenage daughter to therapy. The mother tells how the daughter is anorexic, taking drugs, mixing with undesirable peers, fighting with family members, and failing to study. She has slashed her wrists, overdosed on her mother's antide-pressants, announced she is sleeping with her boyfriend (who has not won parental approval), and said she doesn't care if she gets pregnant. Her parents have tried everything, nothing has worked . . . and this teenager sits with her arms folded staring you in the eyes with a you-ain't-gonna-make-a-difference-either look.
Where do you begin? And what is the problem—the conduct issues as described by the parent, or the curtailment of independence as seen by the teenager? Even if it is possible to have a clear, em-pathic understanding of the problem—though perhaps that is an important starting place—is this necessarily going to provide the mechanisms to effect change? For this reason it is therapeutically beneficial to have a clear understanding of the outcome. Where does the client want to go? How might the client want life to be happier? What does this teenager want for herself and her relationship with her parents?
Having defined the outcome, it is easier to ask the question about what resources, abilities, or means your child or adolescent—and, consequently, the character of the metaphor—needs to reach the desired outcome. Focusing on the outcome puts you in a better position to structure a healing metaphor than if you were caught up in the client's story of seemingly endless problems. In the rest of this chapter I explore how to undertake an outcome-oriented assessment, plan your metaphor, present it to the child or adolescent, adapt it to the client's responses, and generalize the outcome into real life.

Families of sweethearts killed in Manchester attack send `love´ to London
The families of a young couple killed in the Manchester terror attack have sent their "love and condolences" to the relatives of people affected by the London Bridge terror attack, and said their "hearts are aching" for their loss.
Teenage sweethearts Chloe Rutherford, 17, and Liam Curry, 19, from South Shields, died along with 20 others on May 22 when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an improvised explosive device following an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena.
In a joint statement issued by Greater Manchester Police, their families wished those injured by last night's attack in London a "speed recovery".
Chloe Rutherford and Liam Curry died in the Manchester attack on May 22 (Greater Manchester Police/PA)
They said: "We would at this point also like to reach out to those affected by the London terror attack, sending our love and condolences to those who have lost loved ones, our hearts are aching for your loss, may those injured have a speedy recovery."
The London attack, at around 10pm on Saturday night in the Borough Market area of central London, killed seven and injured 48 people as three terrorists armed with knives went on a stabbing spree after ramming civilians with a van on London Bridge.
The families of Ms Rutherford and Mr Curry described the past two weeks as "a parent's worst nightmare" following the Manchester attack, and said their children had been taken "much too soon".
They also praised the work of the Greater Manchester Police and Northumbrian Police forces and expressed their gratitude to nurses and members of the British Red Cross who had supported them "during [their] darkest hours".
They continued: "Finally after much heartache and sadness we are in a position at last to bring our babies home where they belong.
"We ask that in the days ahead the press show us the respect we deserve and the time to come to terms with the impact this horrendous crime has had on us as families."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Tons of individuals lessen bodyweight just to buy it back again because it was when. A strategy fails to should be anything at all using this entire world.

Through an arrangement notwithstanding getting constant with the strategy is important for just about any excess fat misfortune being reputable. To moreover expand its setup, you can use guaranteed bodyweight lessening things to supplement your drives. These dietary supplements must be employed effectively.

Labour cannot "deny families the opportunity to build homes on family owned land" and at the same time call for "large scale rezoning" of land in the city.
This is the view of Fine Gael FG councillor Brian Walsh who has accused Labour of "double standards" in its approach to the draft Galway City Development Plan.
At Monday's city council meeting, which was held to deal with the development plan, councillors voted on a number of rezoning applications which will come into effect when the plan is finally adopted in 2011.
According to Cllr Walsh almost all of the variations that were approved were minor in nature and the majority related to the provision of houses for family members where a housing need had been identified.
"One variation was to facilitate the construction of one house on a 3/4 acre site to the west of the city," said Cllr Walsh. "Under the current development plan the applicant was unable to secure planning permission as the plan dictates that a one acre site is required for each house."
Some councillors tried to change this and reduce the requirement to 3/4 acre per house to allow the applicant build a family home but the application was rejected by Labour. However the Labour councillors brought forward the largest rezoning proposal of the night when they argued for the rezoning of a c16 acre site from industrial to commercial on the Tuam Road.
"In promoting this one rezoning application, Labour would have more than doubled the total area of land actually rezoned on the night," said Cllr Walsh. "The Labour proposal was vigorously opposed by the planning department and was eventually withdrawn."
Cllr Walsh said Labour "can't have it both ways" and he accused the party of "denying families the opportunity to build homes on family owned land" while at the same time "introducing large scale rezoning requests which would have a far greater impact on the future development of the city".

2017: Time For A Strong Finish!
Last week we wanted to inspire you with some great reading to 're-kickstart' your year. This week is all about doing something to make the most of the time we have left this year.
September is almost like a second start or 're-start' to the year with the return to work and school and holidays. The year may not have gone as you would have liked and it might be tempting to just write off the remainder and coast into the holiday season.
BUT we still have three months left of this year. You can still make the most of that time and achieve a lot, even if you are not quite where you would like to be. So this is a perfect time for 're-' activities - review, reflect, re-evaluate, re-activate, re-commit, re-start etc. After all, "it ain't over until the fat lady sings'!
Coincidentally, every 20/21 September (in the northern hemisphere) is the Autumn Equinox - the time of equal day and night before heading into the long evenings of winter. It is almost like a momentary pause in the year, and the invitation is both to look back and look forward.
It also traditionally marks the end of the harvest in farming and so is a great time review what you have reaped from what you sowed earlier in the year.
In practical terms, this is a brilliant time to pull back and focus on strategy, i.e. looking at what has happened so far this year and why then determining what you want to do for the rest of the year. Here are five things that you can do (and questions to consider) to help you get on track, form a strategy and crush it for the rest of the year:
Take some time out to look at what has happened this year. Has the year gone as you would have like and as your planned, or has it gone a bit wonky? Often when we set resolutions at the start of the year, we fall off the bike very quickly.
Even if we have set longer terms goals, life gets in the way, and it may not go with the way we thought. If you haven't set goals, this is a perfect time to set a different course for the rest of the year.
- What has worked this year?
- What hasn't gone so well?
- What have you done/not done that has impacted how the year has gone?
- What have other factors contributed to how the year has gone so far?
As the old saying goes, "you reap what you sow". Your year so far will undoubtedly reflect some of the seeds you planted earlier in the year - both the goals you may have set and the actions you have taken. If you are like most people, if you have reviewed the year so far you have probably focused on the negative.
One thing we tend to be horrible at is celebrating our victories, no matter how big or small. We also don't tend to recognise or think of the good stuff we have got going on in our lives.
- What victories have you had so far this year?
- What can you do to celebrate these successes and reward yourself?
- What can you appreciate about your life as it is right now?
If things are not how you want them to be in your life, sometimes that is because we haven't set the right goals or headed off in the right direction. Now is the time to re-evaluate if your goals/intentions/direction are taking you where you want to go.
It is also the time to step back objectively, take a look at your life and see if you are focusing your time, energy and effort on the things that matter to you.
- What has the experience of going after your goals been like?
- What areas of your life are calling for attention?
- What do you want to change/do differently?
You may find that you are heading in exactly the right direction but circumstance and everyday life have slowed you down...maybe to a standstill. If that is the case, you still have a quarter of the year left.
You can drift towards the holiday season, or you can make the most of the remainder of the year and re-commit to your goals/intentions/direction. Your choice...
- What action are you going to take to move towards your goals by the end of the year?
- What is the first step?
- What might get in the way? What can you do to overcome these barriers?
If you feel you can't wait for year to end, September is almost like the second start to the year. So, acknowledge where you have got to and let go of what you haven't achieved, give yourself and your mind-set a reset and just re-start the year!
Set some intentions for the next three months that are less about striving/achievements and more about creativity/nurturing/re-energising. For example, it might be about finding more work-life balance, starting that art class you have always wanted to do or starting some daily habits to look after yourself a bit more.
- What have you been wanting to do but haven't had the time for?
- What could you do to place more focus on looking after yourself better?
- What could you do to feed your creativity?

A few days after Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX announced that it was cutting ten percent of its workforce, his electric car company Tesla has said it is cutting seven percent of its workforce as well.
This week has not been a good one for Musk's companies, earlier in the week Breitbart News reported that Musk's rocket manufacturing company SpaceX was cutting ten percent of its workforce. The company said in a statement that the sudden layoffs are in an attempt to become a "leaner company" and that they only needed to be done due to "the extraordinarily difficult challenges ahead." Now, Tesla is following suit.
The Associated Press reports that Tesla told employees on Friday that they plan to cut seven percent of the company's workforce as the company attempts to produce a cheaper electric car. In an email to employees, CEO Elon Musk wrote:
Looking ahead at our mission of accelerating the advent of sustainable transport and energy, which is important for all life on Earth, we face an extremely difficult challenge: making our cars, batteries and solar products cost-competitive with fossil fuels. While we have made great progress, our products are still too expensive for most people.
As it stands, Tesla's cheapest Model 3 vehicle costs $45,000, the company hopes to produce a model for $35,000 in the coming month according to reports. Musk discussed the company's future plan stating:
Tesla will need to make these cuts while increasing the Model 3 production rate and making many manufacturing engineering improvements in the coming months. Higher volume and manufacturing design improvements are crucial for Tesla to achieve the economies of scale required to manufacture the standard range (220 mile), standard interior Model 3 at $35k and still be a viable company.
Later in the email, Musk stated: "Tesla has only been producing cars for about a decade and we're up against massive, entrenched competitors," which is true. Tesla shares fell by 3.7 percent this week as auto manufacturers across the world revealed a new interest in electric car manufacturing. Ford, Nissan, and GM have all announced large movements into the electric car manufacturing space, whether Tesla's plan of cutting their workforce in order to compete with them remains to be seen.

Sydney, 27 October 2016 – Online education provider and innovation leader, Ivy College has been named Australia's top medium-sized business for service excellence in 2016 for the second consecutive year. This prestigious accolade was awarded by the Customer Service Institute of Australia at the 15th Australian Service Excellence Awards held at the Crown in Melbourne.
Ivy College has now won this prestigious award for two years running and last year Ivy College was named global winner of the esteemed "International Service Excellence Award" (medium-sized business category) by the International Council of Customer Service Organisations (ICCSO). These awards are recognised as the premier service awards around the globe.
Ivy College acquired an additional two awards within the company on the night. Student Support Team Leader, Cynthia Di Natale was awarded with Customer Service Leader of the Year and Director of Customer Success, Cherie Diaz was named Customer Service Executive Hero.
Endorsed by the ICCSO, the Australian Service Excellence Awards are internationally recognised, with Australian winners automatically becoming finalists in the global International Service Excellence Awards.
For Ivy College's founder and CEO Peter Mobbs, service excellence has played a fundamental part in Ivy's success. "We're delighted to be acknowledged as one of Australia's top companies for service excellence yet again. Ivy was founded with one clear mission in mind: to provide a service to others, and we've achieved this by ensuring we provide ultimate flexibility and support for our customers. To also have staff personally excelling on the night is a great reflection of the supportive culture we have built at Ivy College" said Mobbs.
Ivy College has quickly established its reputation for service excellence through its innovative personalised learning model designed to enable choice and opportunity for all Australians. To overcome accessibility issues faced by working adults, Ivy College reinvented flexible service models by:
- Replacing rigid semester-based intakes with rolling intakes – Ivy students can start 365 days a year, 24/7.
- Developing an instant enrolment service – eligible students can apply and receive their course login within 60 seconds.
- Bringing online learning to mobiles – courses are delivered via a fully mobile responsive website and learning management system.
- No set timetables and no exam deadlines –courses are self-paced.
- Supporting students at the time they choose to study – Ivy's student support service is fully on-shore and available 8am-8pm weekdays, and 9-5pm weekends.

The pair suggests that Byogy's proprietary ATJ process produces biofuel that is in some ways "better than jet fuel produced from oil". Byogy Renewables has developed a platform that converts any source of ethanol, butanol, mixed alcohols, or related olefins, into full replacement biofuels. Its CEO, Kevin Weiss, said: "At some point, we will wake up from this ethanol hangover and realise that it is more important to use alcohols to produce full replacement renewable aviation fuels than it is to push higher blends of alcohols into infrastructure that cannot support it. This is probably the most significant initiative in the aviation industry as it demonstrates the evolution to a full replacement, high-quality renewable aviation fuel." Byogy will first develop a biofuel blend before increasing the biofuel content to 100 per cent under tests. It is yet to be approved.

friday's confession: I blew it.
In January 2013, I attended ALT Summit. During one of the round-tables, I had an opportunity to pitch my book idea to an editor from Chronicle Books. I only had about 45 seconds, so I quickly exhaled an idea about turning my Social Media Rehab program into a book.
"Great," said the editor. "We've been looking for something like that, but instead of just social media, we'd like to focus on unplugging in general."
She handed me her card and told me to email her (using these guidelines) when I had my thoughts sorted out.
"PERFECT!" I thought. "I'm totally going to just send a quick email and then all of a sudden be published by Chronicle."
Yeah. Riiiiiiiight.
As you can imagine, it didn't exactly work out that way. After the initial omg, she liked my idea! wore off, I realized that I had no clue how to pull all of this together. So I talked to my friend Kari about what I needed, I brainstormed titles (my favorite, Digital Detox, was already trademark pending), and I thought and thought and thought.
But I didn't actually do anything.
I didn't put my one-page author bio together (although I talked to Erin about it). I didn't map out an outline (although I started scribbling notes but then it got hard). I certainly didn't submit anything to the editor (nope, nada).
One by one, all those days of not doing combined with life going on to equal me completely forgetting about it.
Until I saw this book for sale at Paper Source in May: Unplug Every Day: 365 Ways to Log Off and Live Better, published by Chronicle Books.
Fuck, y'all. That was totally the project I could have pitched.
I blew it.
Now, I want to point out that I'm not trying to pull an oh, I could have totally written that here. Because, yes, I could have gotten an idea and put together daily prompts and such (hello! More Shenanigans Please!) but I didn't. I don't want to discount the work of the editors who did create this book.
But. But. But. Seeing this made me realize that what I could have done was kept it simple and come up with a fun concept that wasn't overly complicated.
It made me realize that I should have done the work to follow-up and send the freaking email and see where the process went.
It made me realize that I let fear win out, I let overthinking win out, and I let doubt win out.
And that, my friends, is a shitty realization to have. Especially when getting a book published by Chronicle is one of your dreams and career goals.
I've been talking up my upcoming 100 Rejection Letters program for a few weeks; this is why I'm taking on the project again. I've gotten to a place in my business where things are good but they aren't great. Everything is fine but it isn't amazing.
And with two kids and limited time and energy, the work that I do needs to be in-fucking-credible for me to keep going. Otherwise, I might as well just go out and get a job. (Which is a whole lot of NOT what I want!)
Seeing that book in print made me realize that it's going to take bold action to push my business to a level where it is working for me and what matters most in my life.
It made me realize that it was time to stop thinking about things and start getting shit done.
Even if I'm not 100% sure of the outcome.
Even if it might feel easier to not most often.
Even if, for a majority of the time, I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
Guess what? Most people feel that way. They just aren't talking about it.
I made the choice to take my I blew it moment and let it propel me towards something bigger instead of letting it paralyze me into more of the same: inaction.
And starting October 15, you'll have a chance to go behind the scenes into that something bigger. Like full transparency, laying it all out, here we fucking go world behind the scenes. (Oh! Hi nerves!) You'll also have the chance to commit to your own version of the 100 Rejection Letters project, to put all you've got into making a goal happen for yourself, to see what's possible when you really try your absolute hardest. (Oh! Hi nerves!)
Everything will be revealed next Friday, but in the meantime, you can sign up here to get early access AND you can RSVP for a free training call I'm hosting on Wednesday 9/24 at noon PST.
In Pitch Perfect: Mastering the Art of Making the Ask, I will walk you through the start of making your own pitches (including how to figure out where to even begin!) and offer an exclusive first look at the new program. I've got some amazing bonuses for early sign-ups and you'll get first glance (and first dibs!) during this call. RSVP here.
In the meantime, I'd love to hear about your I blew it moment in the comments. Have you ever had that feeling? Have you ever seen someone else pull off one of your dreams? What did you do in response? And, now, in retrospect, what do you wish you had done?
It all comes down to choice. Every time.
PS. Thank you all so much for the podcast love! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, you can find all the deets here!

So I took an online survey a couple of days ago. I wasn't really sure what my homeschooling label was so I took the test to figure it out. Well, The survey result said that I was an unschooler. Ok, no offence to unschoolers because that's totally cool if that's your style but that's Not how I envisioned myself. I am completely a curriculum junkie. I love learning and so do my children, so I'm attracted to all types of curriculum and all kinds of subject. I pull subjects from different lines of curriculum because they are attractive and meaningful, have a biblical worldview, and are kinda in the "middle" when it comes to graphics. They can't be too distracting or too boring.
I also keep my eye out for new books that come along. I actually pray before each homeschooling conference I go to that the Lord leads me to the books that He wants me to use for the upcoming year.
Because we are self-employed our budgeting plan does not always work out the way we think it will. Last spring we found we were a little cautious at conference time, so I made a very big list of books that I wanted to try and find at secondhand sales. Well, the Lord had something else in mind. He had given me a new sweet friend about a year prior that I actually met at homeschooling conference. We had hit it off and we're becoming close via text and phone calls and one day she asked me if I had a list of books that I was going to buy at the conference. I said yes, and she asked me what was on the list. She actually had about 90% of the books that I needed in her house and she was no longer using them so she offered them to me. I was a little confused so I asked her how much she wanted for the books, but she said that she wanted nothing. She really just wanted to give…..such a sweetheart.
When I met her at the conference she filled up my trunk with so many books it was full. It really helped us out a lot and we were so grateful and thankful. There was even a Christian English series I wasn't 100% sure about but she insisted that I take them and look at them, and all I could think was yes Lord, if this is what you want us to have then that's ok with me.
So we use some living books, some mastery mathematics, tons of novels and readers, copy books, outdoor and indoor sports, mega art, nature days, free play, play dates, host gatherings, the list can go on and on. I think I use a somewhat Charlotte Mason philosophy mixed with the freedom of unschooling, throw in some fun schooling and a whole bunch of traditional curriculum. Making any sense?
So I think if I had to pick a short label for my type homeschool it would be Eclectic Freedom homeschooling. I would love to hear how you describe your homeschool. Please comment below😁

Showing 25 of 271 results
A measurement of the electron charge asymmetry in inclusive pp to W + X to e nu + X production at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 840 inverse picobarns. The electron charge asymmetry reflects the unequal production of positive and negative W bosons in pp collisions. The electron charge asymmetry is measured in bins of absolute value of electron pseudorapidity in the range of abs(eta) < 2.4. The asymmetry rises from about 0.1 to 0.2 as a function of the pseudorapidity and is measured with a relative precision better than 7%. This measurement provides new stringent constraints for parton distribution functions.
We present a measurement of the muon charge asymmetry from the decay of the $W$ boson via W to mu nu using 7.3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. The muon charge asymmetry is presented in two kinematic regions in muon transverse momentum and event missing transverse energy: (p^{\mu}_{T} > 25 GeV, \met > 25 GeV) and (p^{\mu}_{T} > 35 GeV, \met > 35 GeV). The measured asymmetries are compared with theory predictions made using three parton distribution function sets. The predictions do not describe the data well for p^{\mu}_{T} > 35 GeV, \met > 35 GeV, and larger values of muon pseudorapidity.
Measurements of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp to WX production at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 inverse femtobarns recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. With a sample of more than twenty million W to mu nu events, the statistical precision is greatly improved in comparison to previous measurements. These new results provide additional constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton in the range of the Bjorken scaling variable x from 10E-3 to 10E-1. These measurements and the recent CMS measurement of associated W + charm production are used together with the cross sections for inclusive deep inelastic ep scattering at HERA in a next-to-leading-order QCD analysis. The determination of the valence quark distributions is improved, and the strange-quark distribution is probed directly through the leading-order process g + s to W + c in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
The forward-backward charge asymmetry for the process $ q\overline{q}\to Z/{\gamma}^{\ast}\to {\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-} $ is measured as a function of the invariant mass of the dimuon system. Measurements are performed using proton proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ and 8 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 fb$^{−1}$ and 2 fb$^{−1}$ respectively. Within the Standard Model the results constrain the effective electroweak mixing angle to be $ { \sin}^2{\theta}_{\mathrm{W}}^{\mathrm{eff}}=0.23142\pm 0.00073\pm 0.00052\pm 0.00056, $ where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third theoretical. This result is in agreement with the current world average, and is one of the most precise determinations at hadron colliders to date.
In the pp→tt¯ process the angular distributions of top and anti-top quarks are expected to present a subtle difference, which could be enhanced by processes not included in the Standard Model. This Letter presents a measurement of the charge asymmetry in events where the top-quark pair is produced with a large invariant mass. The analysis is performed on 20.3 fb −1 of pp collision data at s=8TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, using reconstruction techniques specifically designed for the decay topology of highly boosted top quarks. The charge asymmetry in a fiducial region with large invariant mass of the top-quark pair ( mtt¯>0.75 TeV ) and an absolute rapidity difference of the top and anti-top quark candidates within −2<|yt|−|yt¯|<2 is measured to be 4.2±3.2% , in agreement with the Standard Model prediction at next-to-leading order. A differential measurement in three tt¯ mass bins is also presented.
We report a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry, AFB, in bb¯ pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions and identified by muons from semileptonic b-hadron decays. The event sample is collected at a center-of-mass energy of s=1.96 TeV with the CDF II detector and corresponds to 6.9 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. We obtain an integrated asymmetry of AFB(bb¯)=(1.2±0.7)% at the particle level for b-quark pairs with invariant mass, mbb¯, down to 40 GeV/c2 and measure the dependence of AFB(bb¯) on mbb¯. The results are compatible with expectations from the standard model.
We measure the forward-backward asymmetries AFB of charged Ξ and Ω baryons produced in pp¯ collisions recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at s=1.96 TeV as a function of the baryon rapidity y. We find that the asymmetries AFB for charged Ξ and Ω baryons are consistent with zero within statistical uncertainties.
The production of prompt muons ine+e− annihilation has been studied at centre of mass energies near 34.5 GeV. The measured semi-muonic branching ratios ofb andc quarks areB(b»Xμv) =0.117±0.028±0.01 andB(c→Xμv)=0.082 ±0.012a−0.01+0.02. The fragmentation functions of heavy quarks are hard, <zb>=0.85a−0.12–0.07+0.10+0.02 and <zc> =0.77a−0.07–0.11+0.05+0.03. Limits have been set on flavour changing neutral current decays:B(b→Xµ+µ−) <0.02 andB(b→Xµ+µ− (95% confidence level).
The D0 collaboration has performed a study of spin correlation in tt-bar production for the process tt-bar to bb-bar W^+W^-, where the W bosons decay to e-nu or mu-nu. A sample of six events was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of approximately 125 pb^-1 of sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV pp-bar collisions. The standard model (SM) predicts that the short lifetime of the top quark ensures the transmission of any spin information at production to the tt-bar decay products. The degree of spin correlation is characterized by a correlation coefficient k. We find that k>-0.25 at the 68% confidence level, in agreement with the SM prediction of k=0.88.
Using data from Fermilab fixed-target experiment E791, we have measured particle-antiparticle production asymmetries for lambda zero, cascade minus, and omega minus hyperons in pi minus-nucleon interactions at 500 GeV/c. The asymmetries are measured as functions of Feynman-x (x_F) and pt^2 over the ranges of -0.12 GE x_F LE 0.12 and 0 GE pt^2 LE 4 (GeV/c)^2. We find substantial asymmetries, even at x_F = 0. We also observe leading-particle- type asymmetries which qualitatively agree with theoretical predictions.
We present the first measurement of the electron angular distribution parameter alpha_2 in W to e nu events produced in proton-antiproton collisions as a function of the W boson transverse momentum. Our analysis is based on data collected using the D0 detector during the 1994--1995 Fermilab Tevatron run. We compare our results with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD, which predicts an angular distribution of (1 +/- alpha_1 cos theta* + alpha_2 cos^2 theta*), where theta* is the polar angle of the electron in the Collins-Soper frame. In the presence of QCD corrections, the parameters alpha_1 and alpha_2 become functions of p_T^W, the W boson transverse momentum. This measurement provides a test of next-to-leading order QCD corrections which are a non-negligible contribution to the W boson mass measurement.
We present a direct measurement of the parity-violation parameter $A_c$ in the coupling of the $Z^0$ to $c$-quarks with the SLD detector. The measurement is based on a sample of 530k hadronic $Z^0$ decays, produced with a mean electron-beam polarization of $|P_e| = 73 %$. The tagging of $c$-quark events is performed using two methods: the exclusive reconstruction of $D^{\ast+}$, $D^+$, and $D^0$ mesons, and the soft-pions ($\pi_s$) produced in the decay of $D^{\ast+}\to D^0 \pi_s^+$. The large background from $D$ mesons produced in $B$ hadron decays is separated efficiently from the signal using precision vertex information. The combination of these two methods yields $A_c = 0.688 \pm 0.041.$
A measurement of the beam-spin asymmetry in the azimuthal distribution of pions produced in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off protons is presented. The measurement was performed using the {HERMES} spectrometer with a hydrogen gas target and the longitudinally polarized 27.6 GeV positron beam of HERA. The sinusoidal amplitude of the dependence of the asymmetry on the angle $\phi$ of the hadron production plane around the virtual photon direction relative to the lepton scattering plane was measured for $\pi^+,\pi^-$ and $\pi^0$ mesons. The dependence of this amplitude on the Bjorken scaling variable and on the pion fractional energy and transverse momentum is presented. The results are compared to theoretical model calculations.
