How to Make Your Home Feel Brighter During the Time Change
If you've felt yourself feeling sleepier lately or losing motivation to get off the couch, it's probably not in your head. The time change can really throw your internal clock for a loop. Not to mention, vanishing sunlight at 5:30pm is kind of depressing.
The good news is that there are ways you can squeeze every bit of daylight out of the day, and even make your home feel brighter at night. This will help make your home feel cheerier and potentially ward off SAD—Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Maximizing Daylight During Short Autumn Days
You already know there's not a lot of sunlight at the end of the day. However, there are a few tricks you can use to make your home feel a little brighter as the sun sets.
First, try hanging mirrors on your walls or place them on a fire place mantel. This is an old interior design trick that allows natural light to reflect off the glass, which essentially doubles the amount of light that makes its way to the mirror.
Second, make sure that your curtains and blinds remain open. Closing these too early will only block light even more, making your living area feel even darker before the sun sets.
If you must keep your curtains closed, use light fabrics or venetian blinds so light can filter through.
Another tip is to remove large, dark wall art. If you have a dark painting hanging on the wall, this will absorb light. Dark wall paint will do the same thing.
Arranging furniture perpendicular to the window wall will help promote the flow of daylight.
One last way to maximize daylight this time of year: use indirect lighting that's aimed at the ceiling. You can supplement sunlight with strategically placed light fixtures, such as a floor lamp near the back of the room. As the sun begins to set, turn on the lamp to make up for the loss of sunlight in the home.
How to Choose the Right Light Fixture
When it comes to darkening a home at night, the right fixture can make all the difference. Consider:
· Using a mix of floor and table lights. Not only does this add interest to your décor, but floor lamps can add extra lighting in even the darkest corners of a room.
· Arcing floor lamps are dramatic and beautiful, and they can offer a warm and diffused light
· Lampshade fabrics are an important consideration for light in a dark room. A linen or burlap lampshade will offer diffused light. If you want bright white lighting, use a crisp white shade.
Remember that window styles that are best for light flow are picture windows, bay windows, and even transom windows and sidelites when combined with an entry door. Decorative window glass can add a subtle sparkle to daylight in the home.
Try these lighting tips today for a less-dreary home this autumn and winter season.

This account is from about 1150 years ago when Hakam ruled Andalusia (Islamic Spain).
A nice site near the capital (of Andalusia) attracted the site of the ruler, and he thought of building a palace for himself there. The land belonged to an old woman who lived in a cottage upon it.
The ruler offered the woman a reasonable price for the land, but she declined to sell it. He then offered double the price of the land, but she was persistent in her refusal.
The ruler got angry, forcibly ousted her from the site and demolished the cottage. Within a short time a stately mansion and a beautiful garden was built on that spot. But the woman was not easily dismissed, she went to the Qazi and complained against the ruler.
Shortly afterwards the ruler invited the Qazi to see his new palace and gardens. The Qazi went to the Palace at the fixed time and took with him some empty sacks on his back and a donkey. The ruler felt curious and asked why the donkey was there in noble company. The Qazi replied, 'I pay to your Majesty to permit me to take some sacks of earth from this Royal garden'.
The ruler was amused at this strange request and granted the permission. The Qazi had the sacks filled with earth and then asked the ruler to help him in lifting the sack onto the back of the donkey. Further, amused at this particular request of the Qazi the ruler cheerfully went up and applied himself to the task. But with all his efforts he failed to lift a single sack.
The Qazi then turned to the king and said: 'Sir, if you cannot lift a single sack of earth today, how will you lift the entire garden when, on the day of judgement, Allah will command you to transfer it to the old woman whom you took it from unjustly?'
The ruler felt ashamed and at once sent for the woman. When she came, he said to her: 'Mother, I have grievously wronged you. Please forgive me. From today this Palace and it's Garden are yours'.

French La Canicule.
Coming to you again from France this week, in fact I'll be coming to you from this lovely country for the next few weeks.
We are in the grip of a heatwave, or as the French so delightfully call it: La Canicule.
There is a lot of fan-waving of the face by the locals and copious drinking of water and proclamations of 'having to rest for the entire afternoon' – all of which I join in, even though I should be used to 36 degree days.
After two weeks in France we are feeling very chipper and becoming almost expert with our 'bonjour' greetings and 'au revoir' goodbyes.
We have even become reasonably skilled with our three-cheek-kiss greetings, although we have not yet managed to avoid lips landing on ears and noses in the confusion of where to begin and end the process. We will get there.
We are adjusting to the smaller scale of living space, getting used to apartments that must be reached by the scaling of many sets of stairs. Lifts have eluded us. We have not bagged a ground floor hotel or apartment yet.
Our charming apartment in the Place aux Herbes in the Duchy town of Uzes is, of course, on the very top floor.
As Australians used to a big a front yard, a path leading to an obvious front door and a leafy back garden that stretches to long fences, we have had to adjust to getting into our new living place via a hidden door in a stone alley where a key that looks like it belongs to a gaoler in the Middle Ages never seems to want to turn the right way.
Our first time to visit the apartment was quite scary, even for the big husband who does not scare easily.
Madam, the apartment owner, waited for us in the top-floor and pressed a buzzer which would open the alley door. She was not prepared for two Australian grown-ups who could not push the door down below once the buzzer had sounded. She had to walk down and physically open the door for us, an embarrassment I have yet to shake off.
Madam turned on the light at the alley door in the dark stairwell and indicated for us to follow. As we trudged up those big winding stairs, lugging ridiculously
overpacked suitcases, the lights suddenly went out and we were plunged into a darkness so complete we could have been hundreds of metres underground.
After an awful cat-howling scream from me, Madam, produced a tiny torch, made reassuring noises and found a nearby light switch while we stood absolutely still, terrified to make even a small move in case we plummeted to messy deaths.
In our ignorance, we had not known to push the light switch on every level we ascended before the timer gave out.
We are savvy now. We do not want that pitch black experience in a narrow stairwell ever again.
Now we enter the building, press the switch and start climbing at a good clip, pressing switches on every floor. Like the cheek-kissing, and the bonjour greetings, we learn.
The stairwell adventure to the top floor each day brings wonderful rewards. Once inside the elegant apartment it is all French charm and views over clustered rooftops to handsome old buildings and graceful tall towers.
"Do you still yearn for an Aussie front garden with a path and a big front door with a small key," the husband will ask as I step out onto our flower-filled roof-top terrace and look over the pretty Place aux Herbes with its stone arcades and green plane trees and handsome fountain.
"No, I love it here, very much," I answer. "But you can carry up the shopping next time."

Every vehicle on New York roads has a differential, and it is important to the proper operation of the vehicle. But most Falconer residents don't have a clue what it is.The differential compensates for differing wheel speeds. For example, when you turn, the inside tire on the turn travels a much shorter distance than the outside wheel. So the inside wheel of the vehicle must move at a slower speed than the outside wheel. Without a differential, the wheels would hop and scrape while turning.Have you ever seen the large bulge in the middle of the rear axle of a truck? That's the differential. In a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the differential is located on the back axle. Four-wheel drive vehicles and SUV's have differentials on both the front and the rear axle.You might expect that the differential is located on the front axle of a front-wheel drive vehicle. You'd be right. But the differential is called a transaxle on a front-wheel drive vehicle because its location allows it to be combined with the transmission.In an all-wheel drive vehicle, an additional differential or transfer case is located between the front and rear axles. Differentials are strong: They have to be because of the job they do. But those tough parts need proper lubrication. You don't want your differential to seize up. That results in damage to your vehicle.So you need to have your vehicle differential serviced regularly. It's not a complicated job. At I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service in Falconer, we've been servicing differentials for years. The used lubricating fluid is simply drained and then replaced. Some vehicles require specific additives in the differential fluid; your Falconer service center will ensure you are getting what your vehicle needs.The intervals in time or mileage for servicing your differential vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle. Check with your owner's manual or I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service service advisor to find out how often your vehicle differential needs to be serviced.I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service1739 Lindquist DriveFalconer, New York 14733716-665-2501
Differential? What's that? And what's it for? I've been told by my service advisor that I need to get it serviced, but is that on the level?Do these questions sound familiar? They're not uncommon for Falconer drivers. A lot of us in Falconer don't know what a differential is or what it's for. Every vehicle has a differential, and, yes, it does need to be serviced. In fact, it's more important to the operation of your vehicle than the air conditioner or windshield wipers.A differential allows your vehicle tires to move at different speeds. This happens more than you think. The best example is when a vehicle is turning. The inside wheel travels a much shorter distance than the outside wheel during a turn. This means the outside wheel has to move faster than the inside wheel. Without a differential, your tires would hop and skip while turning. They would also lose traction in sand or snow.The location of your differential depends on what kind of vehicle you drive. On a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the differential is located in the back. For a front-wheel drive vehicle, it is located on the front, but it is usually called a transaxle. Four-wheel drive vehicles have three differentials: one on the front, one in the back and one in the middle. This center differential compensates for differences in speed between the front and rear wheels.Your differential contains strong gears that need to be protected from dirt, debris, water and other contaminants. A differential is sometimes referred to as a "gear box." The work of these gears is to transfer power from the vehicle drive train to the wheels.Your differential needs fluid to lubricate and cool the gears. This fluid, even though enclosed in the "gear box," can get dirty because the gears grind down over time, releasing tiny bits of themselves into the fluid. Also, the additives in the differential fluid break down and need to be replaced. That's why preventive maintenance for your vehicle needs to include servicing the differential.Your owner's manual can give you recommendations on how often to service your differential. But you should also consult with your friendly and knowledgeable I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service professional. I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service can give you some good auto advice on whether your vehicle needs to be serviced more frequently. For example, if you drive in hot or cold New York weather conditions, your differential will need to have its fluid changed more often.Severe conditions will also affect your vehicle care routine and your differential. Check your owner's manual for a definition of "severe service" conditions that affect your vehicle. Examples may include driving with frequent stops and starts, a lot of short trips around Falconer, hot or cold New York weather conditions and towing.Off-roading is particularly hard on a vehicle's differential. If you are an off-roader, especially if you cross New York streams or waterways, it is important that you service your differential more frequently than the recommendations suggest.Properly servicing your differential will extend its life and keep you out of Falconer auto repair shops. A smooth ride is the result of proper preparation and smart choices.

When you take a corner in your car, the outside wheels have a slightly longer distance to go than the inside wheels. That means that the outside wheels must turn a bit faster than the inside. The piece of mechanical wizardry that makes this possible is called the differential.
The differential allows the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds in turns without the wheels binding or hopping. If you have a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the differential is on the rear axle. You've seen that bulge in the middle of the axle when you're behind a truck – that's the differential.
If you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, the differential function is handled by your transaxle. Of course, all-wheel drive vehicles have differentials on both axles. They also have a center differential or a transfer case between the front and rear axles to compensate for speed differences between the front and rear.
Because all the power of the engine is transferred through the various differentials, you can imagine that they are very strong and are built last a long time. That's why it's important to keep your differential properly lubricated. Differential fluid cools and protects the gears.
Your service technician will check differential fluid level and top it off if necessary. With low fluid, the differential will run too hot and wear prematurely. Ask your service advisor for when it's recommended to change your differential fluid. Fresh fluid will extend the life of your differential. Your technician will also inspect the u-joints which connect your drive shaft to the differential and may recommend service. Some u-joints can be lubricated as part of a routine lube, oil and filter change as well.
Now, of course differentials eventually wear out and need to be replaced. You might notice a strange noise from your axle area as one of the first warning signs. When the differential shows signs of failing, it's important to repair it. If you leave it too long and it freezes up when you're driving you could lose control of your vehicle and other parts like the axle, driveshaft and transmission could be damaged.

Retailers Get Urban
October 12, 2010 § Leave a comment
There was a time when retailers had eyes only for the suburbs. The newest era of development, however, is seeing these same retailers shift interest towards downtowns and other urban environments, where many of their old customers – and potential new ones – are now living. This has brought new challenges for architects, who are now designing the "big box" into smaller spaces. At Studio One Eleven we have already established relationships with many of these typically suburban chain retailers, and have been assisting them with fitting their programs in tighter downtown and inner-ring suburban environments, as well as community outreach, entitlement, and ultimately construction.
For more discussion on this trend check out this video from ICSC, courtesy of real estate website GlobeSt.com: Retail Flight to Urban Locations

Caterpillars Montessori School 2012 (C)
follow us on
Why MONTESSORI and Who is Dr. Maria Montessori?
Montessoris teaching method was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, a medical doctor and educator who was born in Italy in 1870. Montessori brought the scientific methods of observation, experimentation and research to the study of children in their development and education. She observed the children in her care to ascertain their developmental patterns and needs.
In the course of her career, Maria Montessori developed Casa dei Bambini, or Childrens House in San Lorenzo in Rome in 1907. Through her observations and work with these children, Montessori discovered how effortlessly children taught themselves. She recognized that learning is stimulated by an inner need and carries for the childs own motivations and rewards.
From these early beginnings is born a method of education based on following the child, their characteristics as individuals and constructions of an environment to meet these needs. Montessoris developmental approach was designed to fit the child instead of making the child fit the program.
Maria Montessori was nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize living to see herself and her theories acclaimed throughout the world. She died in Holland aged 82.
Caterpillars Montessori Pre-school and Kindergarten
Caterpillars Montessori Pre-school and Kindergarten was established in 2011 by several parents who believe in Montessoris method of education. The first Caterpillars school was established in Alam Sutera, Tangerang. Others follow in Lippo Cikarang, Muara Karang and Bali.
When opening a school, we have two-fold missions:
to help families unleash the potentials of their golden-aged young children and open the door to all future possibilities with love, passion and care; and
to encourage our children to learn by doing with emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for their natural psychological development based on the Montessori Method.
At Caterpillars Montessori, we envision our children to grow cognitively, socially and emotionally based on their unique characteristics and personalities, and for them to become active shapers for a better world.
Caterpillars Montessoris symbol is a cute and colorful caterpillar representing the joys of childhood. School environment and facilities are also arranged to reflect this colorful vibe so children can get into the right mood whenever they come to school.
Why is Caterpillars Montessori special for your child?
Caterpillars Montessori is a special place - not only do we follow the Montessori philosophy and method, but we also are highly experienced, innovative and truly understand that caring for your child is our utmost priority.
We are an established pre-school that offers your child the opportunity to develop at their own pace in a stimulating and caring environment where your child can feel safe and have fun.
Caterpillars Montessori is more than a building - it is a complete environment. Entering a Montessori classroom can be quite a different experience. The children will be involved in a wide range of activities and working independently. The equipment and activities are displayed on open shelves so that the child can choose easily. The materials are attractive, child-sized, real where possible, self-correcting and manipulative. The teachers will not be the center of the classroom giving direction, but rather working together with an individual child or guiding a small group of children. The obvious co-operation and feeling of community is reflected by happy and busy children.
The Montessori approach is based on a profound respect for the child. Maria Montessori saw parents and teachers as having similar roles. Teachers prepare experiences and the environment to stimulate the child. Parents do the same at home by talking with their child, sharing trips, books, music etc. At Caterpillars Montessori we value the partnership that develops between us when your child joins the school. In these formative years we look forward to supporting your child achieve his/her full potential - Montessori is an education for life.
At Caterpillars Montessori we are extremely fortunate to have a team of hardworking, intelligent professionals. Ongoing training is an important aspect of the schools professional development. All staff are carefully selected and evaluated regularly by our School Management to reach the maximum quality in delivering the service to the children in our care.
Montessori Activities
The Montessori children work to develop themselves as independent people, grasp reality, acquire facts and impressions. They are interested in the what and the where. The prepared environment is structured to aid and develop them, divided into five categories:
Practical Life Exercises.
These simple activities aid development of co-ordination and concentration and encourage independence as well as establishment of work cycle, i.e any activity chosen is completed until the material used is ready for the next child in such a way that the children get a sense of their own culture. The activities include pouring, washing, polishing, sweeping, cleaning own mess, dressing and developing social skills.
materials are designed to help the children to become more perceptive to understand concepts and focus on details in the world around them. Activities involve grading, matching shapes, weight, color, taste, sound and touch.
materials increase vocabulary, explore the sounds of the English Language and help the children write and read. Language development is stimulated in all areas of the classroom.
materials are designed to take the children from the physical concept of numbers to an abstract level of understanding mathematics. Beginning with the meaning of numbers from 1 to 10, comprehension of and simple operations in the decimal system, fractions and geometry.
area includes elements of geography, history, art, craft, music, animals and plant classification, simple science experiments, social studies, movement and foreign languages.

Essential Tips For The Best Hikes in Maui
Are you looking for a guide for the best hikes in Maui?
When you're spending your vacation on the island, there are myriad fun activities to look forward to. From riding the waves of the Pacific ocean, to biking or living an adventure on one of the best hikes on Maui.
Hiking can turn out to be a wonderful and one of a kind experience. The island is well known for its spectacular trails and scenery and there are plenty destinations you can explore as a tourist. As long as you know what to pack and wear on a hike, you should have no trouble hitting the trails in search for an adventure.
So what's the best way to prepare for the best hikes on Maui? Here's a short list of essential tips that should come in handy.
1. Consult with a guide and choose the best hikes on Maui that fit your fitness level
If this is your first time going on a hike, have a chat with an experienced hiking guide first. Decide together on what are the best hikes on Maui that would be a good fit and get ready to experience a true adventure on the island!
For beginners, shorter hikes that you can complete in a few hours are ideal. If you have never been on a hiking adventure before, its's always best to take things slow at first.
Consult with your guide and pick a trail that can be done in less than a day. This way you won't have to worry about packing a tent or risk to be out of breath on one of the best hikes on Maui.
2. Wear the appropriate clothing and shoes while going hiking on Maui
The sunny and warm weather on Maui might tempt you to dress up like you would for the beach. But a hike is not exactly the same as a walk in a park.
Make sure you avoid any cotton clothes or socks. Even the best hikes on Maui can get really intense, the last thing you need is for your clothes to stay wet.
Wear appropriate hiking shoes as well and avoid flip flops or sandals at all costs. Hiking trails can sometimes be slippery and you'll need all the safety measures and foot support your can get.
3. Pack light while exploring the best hikes in Maui
If you chose a trail you can do in few hours or a day, there's really no need to pack a lot of supplies.
Food and water - Keeping your energy level up is important and staying hydrated is definitely a must!
First aid kit - You never know what can happen even on the best hikes on Maui, so make sure you come prepared.
Sunscreen and a camera - You might think sunscreen is not necessarily a must, but Maui is well known for being a very sunny place in Hawaii. And make sure you bring your camera along as well. You won't want to miss documenting the best hikes on Maui!

Victim confidentiality plan would shield addresses
Lansing — Victims of domestic violence or sexual assault could hide their street address in public records under legislation unanimously approved Tuesday in the Michigan Senate.
Supporters say the proposal would protect victims who could be at risk of repeated attacks if their abuser is able to access their address. The majority of states have similar laws.
Sponsoring Sen. Margaret O'Brien, R-Portage, said she began working on the legislation after meeting Nicole Beverly, a Michigan domestic abuse survivor whose ex-husband allegedly threatened her life from prison as he neared release.
"I was able to see how many people who are survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking cannot feel safe when they try to start their life over," O'Brien said. "So we want to offer a reasonable path that could help them stay in Michigan but start over and be able to stay safe."
The proposal would require the Department of Attorney General to administer the new address confidentiality program, which would be open to victims of domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking or sexual assault. Parents could apply on behalf of minors.
The legislation defines "victim" as someone who suffers direct or threatened harm as the result of a crime but does not specify if proof of a conviction would be required to participate in the confidentiality program.
Applicants would need to provide a notarized statement affirming he or she is a qualifying victim or that disclosing a residential address "will increase the risk that he or she will be threatened or physically harmed by another person."
Participants could ask to use a generic state address on all public records and identification cards, including his or her voter registration and driver license.
State departments, law enforcement agencies and local governments could request a victim's real address or telephone number from the attorney general's office if it was required for a legitimate governmental purpose.
At least 37 other states have similar victim confidentiality laws, said Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, who sponsored four measures in the seven-bill package.
"We've got to give these victims the power to hide, and we need a system," Jones said.
The confidentiality program would cost the Department of Attorney General an estimated $400,000 per year, according to the nonpartisan Senate Fiscal Agency. It would also likely increase costs for the Secretary of State's Office and the Department of Technology Management and Budget.
Gov. Rick Snyder first proposed an address confidentiality program for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking or stalking in his 2015 special message on public safety.
The legislation now heads to the Michigan House.

My students tell me that the biggest challenge they have with book marketing is finding time to do it. Authors are busy, especially those authors who work a day job. Add children to the mix, and you end up writing in the marginalia of your life.
So how do you find time?
Book marketing: time, energy, and money
You need time to promote your books, as well as the enthusiasm for it — and the money, today. So I'm always looking for easy, fast, and low-cost marketing strategies for my students, and of course for me.
Try these tips; they work for my students, so they're worth trying because they may work for you too.
First, a tip which concerns writing.
1. Many books from one idea: think smaller books and publish more often
In Self-Publishing Tips: How To Sell Books Without Marketing we pointed out:
Amazon doesn't care whether you publish a book of 100,000 words or 2,000 words. I've been encouraging you to write and publish short stories, and short nonfiction too.
We're on the cusp of 2019. I've developed my publishing plans already. If you're still working on it, and mulling over what you'll publish next year, consider adding shorter books to the mix.
Think in terms of novellas for fiction.
With nonfiction, think of "easy solutions." It takes forever to research and write a nonfiction book of 50,000 words. Moreover, the market's well supplied with them already, in many categories.
Consider short nonfiction.
Start by researching current trends in whichever categories of books you write. Then research trends and crazes in the news media. What movies are coming up which indicate a trend? (Movies set fashions.)
Take a risk, too. When an idea strikes, trust your intuition. Who knows, you may be in the vanguard of a brand new obsession. Rush to publication, and you may sell thousands of copies. (Remember the coloring book craze of a couple of years ago?)
2. Sell your books from your own website, and keep more money
When you sell your books via retailers they of course take a chunk of the profits. When you sell from your own site, you get to keep more money.
That's a big benefit. Here's another benefit: by slowly transitioning to "going wide" (publishing everywhere you can), and adding your own website to the mix, it gives you a chance to build community.
When they think "community", authors tend to think "oh — a Facebook group." Creating a Facebook group became popular once Facebook started restricting what appears in your news feed, because you get group postings in your feed.
BUT (and it's a big, juicy but) when you tie your fortunes to a big company, it's like swimming with a killer whale. Yes, the whale may play nice for a while, but sooner or later, you'll be swiped to oblivion.
It's a challenge to set up your own website. However, if you use a website creation company like Squarespace, you can set up an online store in minutes. And the big company takes care of all nuisance housekeeping tasks.
More and more authors are spending time and energy on their own websites. Consider whether it might work for you, going forward.
3. Build your community: reward readers who love what you do (and find new readers)
Authors are hopping onto Patreon too, to build their community of readers. They publish complete short stories on their Patreon blog, then publish the stories elsewhere. They also offer snippets from works in progress.
In 2019 and beyond, building a community around your author name will become imperative. Today, it's a challenge to find your readers because audiences are so fragmented. The only way to get a wide reach is via advertising, and that's becoming increasingly expensive, as well as taking lots of time.
Try out different book marketing strategies: test, to see what works for you
We all long for a magic bullet when it comes to book marketing. Unfortunately, no single strategy works for everyone. Nor does any strategy keep working forever, except for carrying on with your writing, while marketing.
Onward, ever onward. And do have fun with it all. 🙂

Plan, Write, And Publish Serial Fiction In Four Weeks
Why write serial fiction?
Everyone's busy today. A serial is by its nature, faster to write, and publish, than a novel.
It's a quicker read too, and many readers appreciate this. While a reader may hesitate before committing hours to a novel, he can read an episode of your serial in minutes.
If you're a new author, a serial serves to introduce you to readers. A reader may not be willing to commit to a novel by a new author, but be willing to read an episode of a serial.More info →

If you want a good example of unswerving loyalty, persistence and service in the Old Testament then look no further than that offered by Benaiah to his king. Throughout David's reign, Benaiah remained steadfastly loyal, a quality the king clearly recognised when he put him in charge of his bodyguards. Even after David's death, Benaiah's loyalty continued to be rewarded when Solomon ascended the throne and made him commander of all the army. There's so much we can learn from this example of loyalty and persistence; here Steve Gibbons describes the many traits attributed to and evidenced by this little known titan of Israel.

Bah Humbug! Now PC brigade target Christmas office party
by JAMES SLACK
Last updated at 23:46 28 November 2006
In an extraordinary advice pamphlet, Acas told firms they have a "duty of care" to drunken staff and could face crippling legal action if they do not get home safely.
More here:
• Acas dos and don'ts for the office Christmas party
Managers were also told age discrimination laws could be breached if the music and entertainment caters only for younger staff, and holding a raffle or giving out alcoholic prizes could offend Muslims.
Any member of staff who suffers "verbal abuse" for being gay could also sue - even if it takes place in the pub before the office party.
And Acas, a Government quango charged with settling industrial disputes, added a "proper risk assessment" must be carried out before any decorations are put up, particularly if they could be fire hazards.
Staff were cleared to display trees, tinsel and lights - but only because they are "secular" and "not inherently religious".
This, the advice note says, makes it "difficult to argue that they cause offence to non-Christians".
The guidance was last night branded "politically correct drivel", but firms said it was enough to put them off holding an official Christmas party.
Employment lawyers said they would also think twice about going ahead with a celebration, given the Acas warning.
Possible pitfalls include age discrimination laws, a raft of health and safety legislation and the Protection from Harassment Act. Damages could run to hundreds of thousands of pounds - enough to cripple a small business.
Matt Hardman, of the Forum of Private Business, said companies were cancelling formal Christmas parties.
He added: "They feel they are given unreasonable responsibility for employees who may have a mishap after over-indulging.
"The smaller the business, the more acutely aware they are of the consequences of being taken to an employment tribunal.
"It is not just a case of if they lose, but they are also less likely to have the resources needed to fight their case. The repercussions could be severe."
Acas's warning said managers would be in "hot water" if drunken staff do not get home safely.
This is because they have a "duty of care", under various health and safety laws, to all employees.
Scenarios could include stumbling out of the party drunk and falling over in the street, or getting knocked down.
They could also be liable if a worker injures himself driving home while drunk.
A spokesman for Acas said: "Many organisations find themselves in hot water over the Christmas season where seemingly harmless pranks or party ideas result in damages or tribunal claims."
Sarah Cleary, a regulatory lawyer at Irwin Mitchell solicitors, said there was a real risk to employers of legal action in front of an employment tribunal, which has the power to award damages worth hundreds of thousands of pounds in some cases.
"If there was no formal and proper supervision, and free alcohol was available to particularly the younger staff and someone got injured or seriously ill then there could potentially be a claim against the firm for personal injury and or a breach of Health and Safety regulations."
She added: "I think the ACAS suggestions are scary really and would put anyone off having an office party."
Factors which would make a firm more liable to action would include senior managers being present at the party, and an unlimited supply of free alcohol. Staff could also sue if they fall while on the premises where the party was being held, she added.
Acas said that, by following its advice, employers could argue they had all reasonable steps to protect their staff from harm.
These included providing plenty of food and soft drink, the number of taxi companies in the area and ensuring the event finishes while public transport is still running.
In a lengthy question & answer note, which it described as 'free advice' to employers, Acas covered a raft of other subjects.
Raffles to raise money for the company's social club should be approached with caution, as Muslims are forbidden from gambling. Care should also be taken not to offer alcohol or meat as prizes.
To avoid age discrimination claims, firms are told to "ensure there is a mix of music and that any organised entertainment takes account of all ages".
On verbal abuse, Acas warns employers are responsible for events which take place even outside of the official party in a local pub.
The pub, if staff are visiting prior to the event, is "an extension of work", so covered by all the usual discrimination laws.
It opens firms to the prospect of a harassment claim as a result of banter or abuse over which they have no control.
Ruth Lea, director of the Centre for Policy Studies and formerly of the Institute of Directors, said the advice was 'beyond parody'.
She added: "Acas is supposed to be a serious organisation with a serious job to do, so why is it making such a complete and utter fool of itself with such fatuous nonsense.
"They should be getting on with their job - which is to deal with serious abuse in the workplace - rather than interfering in people's lives and office Christmas parties."
Conservative MP Philip Davies said: "It seems Acas are setting themselves up as the most politically-correct killjoys of the year.
"There is not a shred of evidence that celebrating Christmas is offensive to religious groups, but still this left-wing clap nonsense continues to be peddled."
Mr Davies added: "To suggest that alcohol should not be given out as a raffle prize is taking things to absolutely ridiculous levels."
Law firm Peninsula said a survey of 5,000 managers had found three out of four fear their office Christmas party will lead to a tribunal claim.
Almost nine out of 10 said they had received complaints from employees about the bad behaviour of colleagues.
Earlier this month, a manager at a property firm won her claim for religious discrimination against her boss, who "humiliated" her at the company Christmas party after learning that she had converted to Islam.
Caroline Elgedawy, a £52,000-a-year head of business information and strategy at the Hanover Park group, was insulted by the chief executive in front of other directors because of her religion.

JR Motorsports Race Report
Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015
Race 33 of 33: Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Track Specs: 1.5-mile oval / 200 laps
Weather: Cloudy; 83 degrees
Race Winner: Kyle Larson
Rhodes' finish: 20th
Ben Rhodes and the Alpha Energy Solutions team fought through a series of obstacles during the Ford EcoBoost 300 to battle back for a 20th-place finish Saturday afternoon at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
After starting 18th in his first race at the 1.5-mile speedway, JR Motorsports (JRM) rookie Rhodes held steady in the top 20 for the first quarter of the race, running as high as 15th. The 18-year-old made contact with the wall near lap 65 while fighting to stay on the lead lap. The contact caused a flat tire and Rhodes had no choice but to hit pit road. The crew went to work on the No. 88 Chevrolet Camaro, pulling out the fender to repair the damage and change the tires. The team received a pit road violation during the stop and Rhodes had to make another pass down pit road as a result.
Rhodes went back on the track three laps down in 32nd place. He made his way up to 22nd , but couldn't advance further as he was the first car three laps down. When the fifth caution of the day waved with 28 laps to go, crew chief Dave Elenz made the call for Rhodes to stay out and the team received the wave-around to restart just two laps down. In the remaining laps, Rhodes raced his way up to 20th, wrapping up the season for the No. 88 JRM team.
Kyle Larson won the final NASCAR XFINITY Series race of the year, followed to the stripe by Austin Dillon, Erik Jones, Brian Scott and Ryan Blaney.
Ben Rhodes, driver No. 88 Alpha Energy Solutions team
"It was not the night the No. 88 Alpha Energy Solutions team wanted, but we were able to come back to 20th after a long, hard race. Early on, we ended up getting into the wall. A couple of the veterans were racing pretty hard around us, playing some aero games. When they did that we got caught up in it and nudged the wall. I fell back quite a bit. I ended up hitting the wall again and we had to come in and pull the fender out and that put us behind. We got a violation, so that put us another lap down. We went three laps down pretty quickly and we were fighting the whole race to get it back. We held our position in front of the cars we needed to the entire time. I think we had a pretty great race car. All in all, I'm happy with how much I learned and the adversity that we overcame taught me a whole lot."

Kerala Flood Relief Fundraiser
Dear Friends,
Our homeland Kerala has been devastated by an unprecedented catastrophe caused by the massive floods that lasted for several weeks. Several hundreds of people have lost their lives while over 700,000 have been rendered homeless or displaced. Tens of thousands of shops and other establishments were destroyed or severely damaged. The floods also significantly hurt the state's infrastructure by damaging bridges, roads, and buildings resulting in serious hardship to those living in the affected areas. Given the enormous stretch of the affected areas, rebuilding the lives of those affected requires tremendous amount of funds.
How can you help?
Kerala Association of Washington (KAW) is driving a fundraiser to help fight the crisis. KAW has already set aside $10,000 to this fund, and is working with our partners and sponsors to do more. We at KAW humbly request you participate in this drive by generously donating to help rebuild Kerala. 100% of the funds raised will go to the Kerala Chief Minister's Disaster Relief Fund. We will send the funds in three batches a) August 31st, b) September 20th, and c) October 20th.
How to Donate?

How will be funds be utilized?
- Relief Efforts driven directly by KAW - We got a team working on the ground in Kerala under the leadership of a KAW executive committee member to drive relief efforts. They are working directly with the relief camps in figuring out the needs, and sourcing and donating required materials to those camps based on the camp authorities' direct input. They have already made an impact in camps across the worst hit areas in Kerala. KAW is directly funding their efforts.
- CMDRF - The rest (which would predictably be the majority of the funds collected) will go to the Kerala Chief Minister's Disaster Relief Fund.
- Other trusted channels - We are on the constant lookout for other trusted channels that would be able to work on the ground and make a direct impact to the relief efforts.
Thank you for helping during the hard times. #STANDWITHKERALA, #DONATEViaKAW
