Frichstival: A New One-Day Festival With Some Of The Best From The Upcoming Scene
Yes, there's a new festival every other a week, and yes, it is difficult finding the money to go to all of them. But luckily, if you dig a little deeper in your "what does Facebook tell me that Aarhus has to offer"-part of your calendar, you'll find plenty of quality underground stuff.
In the case of Frichstival, it's more the location that seems "underground", whereas the line-up itself includes some of our favorites from the Danish upcoming scene. This Saturday, you can walk past 'Åhusene', look to your right, and you'll find Frichstival; located at the heart of Verner Bryder A/S, one of Aarhus' hidden treasures.
At the festival, you can witness The New Family, who conquered SPOT Festival a couple of weekends ago, and J. Bruno, also a part of The New Family, will do a solo show as well. The same goes for Stine Drejer, who's playing both as Valmai and in Moon Loves Honey – last mentioned has got a new single out, and given that they're in the studio lately, they might bring brand new material to the show. At Frichstival, you can also experience Mathias Winther, who also played SPOT Festival and has been enjoying airplay on P3, and Sara Flindt, known from Sant, performing, with band, under the alias Zaar. What a line-up! But wait, there's more…
The beers are free, with an option to make a bar donation, and the same goes for the entrance; it's sort of a pay-what-you-want deal, but keep in mind, that the money, that you eventually decide to give, will be used to create yet another Frichstival.

Dear Teachers, Thanks.
I teach.A class of 15 College Freshmen.
And I'm eating my own words for every time I swore to my Mom (a teacher) that I'd never be a teacher, especially since she encouraged me to become a teacher a mother loving TON of times.
A "mother loving"...get it?
And, what's even more "I told you so" about this whole teaching thing, is that I'm loving every second of it.
So here I am, dreaming to be the teachers I had. When students sit in my class I want them to discover more of themselves, to feel believed in, and to be inspired to actually change the world instead of leaving it up to that over-achieving destined-to-be-president kid they sit next to in philosophy class.
I don't even have to think of ONE amazing teacher I had once, cause the truth is, I hit jackpot in the magical teacher department. Hogwarts, watch out.
I'm not sure if all of them would be over-joyed to hear that most of what they taught me wasn't the stuff I got SAT tested on. But here's a few things I've kept in my back pocket all these years that it's time to thank them for...
Mrs. Light- 2nd grade
I peed my pants during class and lied to her that it was my water bottle that spilled. My friend, Dan, peed HIS pants in second grade and the whole class found out and never let him live it down.... But Mrs. Light never said anything about the "water" on the floor, even though I think she knew what it really was...I owe her a lot. Like my social status. And a really big hug. And some anti-bacterial hand sanitizer.
Mrs. Jones- 3rd grade
Everyone needs a teacher that knows how to laugh and use their imagination. Mrs. Jones... she knows how.
Mrs. Calzada- 5th grade
She's the first person that told me I was a good writer. She also taught me what a menstrual cycle is... and for that, I really am grateful.
Mrs. Deckert- High School Principal
The kind of person who is faithful to you no matter what you've done. She's always encouraged me to speak my heart, because she's always believed I have something worth saying. How great is it that someone told me that what I have to say is of value?
Mr. Holland- Theatre guru
Oh this guy........He taught me the importance of fun, openness, and strength. He was also one of the realest people I've ever met that calls themselves a Christian... life is messy and faith is hard and at some point he communicated that to me, and the perfectionist in me is forever grateful.
Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. Lewis- HOLY JUNIOR HIGH BATMAN!?!
These two are the cheerleaders that never stopped cheering even after the game was over. They knew me through acne/braces, ugly makeup in my wanna-be-A*TEENS phase, and awkward flirtatiousness with wishywashy boys. And they STILL think I'm cool.
Kristen Whitbeck- Highschool Everything
She poured out her life for her students' hearts, souls, and minds. When it came to teaching, she was not bound to the classroom.
Mr. Dodson- High School English
He had a rug in his classroom I took a nap on during study hall once. He helped us understand and laugh at Chaucer. And one of the most meaningful letters I've ever received in my life, he wrote to my graduating class... he challenged us to leave high school with open eyes, ready to learn well, and ready to let our own values and beliefs be tested, molded, and changed. Thanks Dodson, I sure have.
Wendi Dykes- The Happiest Place on Earth Communications Professor
The first time I had a class with Wendi she informed us that her husband had suddenly passed away a few months before and that life for her family was a sudden season she was still embracing. But no matter what, every day in Wendi's class was live giving and fun. I'm so grateful she always showed up with practicality and real life stories.... I learned so much from her about life, hard work, Disneyland, and the importance of enjoying the work I do.
Karen Sorensen Lang- Persuasion and Attitude Change
You know someone's pretty impactFULL when they're the reason you want to be a professor. Confident, intelligent, and witty are all Karen. I never felt like she was teaching AT us... a gesture that somehow made me feel valued as a human being.
Paul Kaak- Leadership
I no longer hate philosophy. THAT'S magical.
Kristin Ritzau- Leadership
She's the AA leader for recovering perfectionists. And she made me want to get my masters degree. Me, the girl who didn't even want to attend college. And lots of my friends told me I should be her when I grow up. And I'm just grateful for her vulnerability, care, and confidence.
The Anonymous Teacher
Because you really shouldn't attach names to stories like these, I'd also like to mention that in one of her marriage talks with our all girl's class, THIS Anonymous teacher definitely advised us never to try sex in the shower. I'd just like her to know that I've taken her advice. And think it's pretty legit. I'll pass it on.

It's the most wonderful time of the year – if you're into creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night, that is! Halloween is upon us, and with it comes candy, parties, and incredible, mind-boggling costumes. The dedication, craftsmanship and creativity people put into their designs is truly astounding, and the tricks to pulling off a look truly are the greatest treat of the season. When you're going all the way with a costume, sometimes your own eyes don't quite cut the mustard; you want to be a red-eyed vampire, or a doe-eyed anime character, or something even more out there!
There are two ways you can go about getting custom costume contacts; you can get completely cosmetic lenses, which don't correct your vision, or corrective custom lenses, which correct your vision according to your prescription. When you have vision problems, it's strongly recommended that you don't go blind to complete your costume; get corrective costume lenses. There's never a night of the year that it's optimal to have bad vision on, but Halloween is particularly bad; the inability to discern shapes from a distance can definitely add to the spooky vibe, but it can also be dangerous. Halloween activities usually take place at night, and there can be a lot of people milling about, so being able to see is key.
You should know that costume lenses work on the same principles as regular contact lenses; that is to say, you're putting them over your eye. Needless to say, your eyes are very sensitive, and putting a costume lens you bought online right on top of them can be a spell for serious eye problems. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that you visit your optometrist before using cosmetic contacts. Off-the-shelf contacts may not fit your eyes properly; improperly fitting lenses can lead to eye infections, ulcers and other serious vision problems that could culminate into blindness. It can be tempting to cut costs on a costume, but the deterioration of your vision is not a price you should be willing to pay.
For prescription or cosmetic lenses, you should always speak with your optometrist. Once you've obtained a prescription, you should always go through trusted contact retailers; online vendors who don't care about your eyes might use improperly shaped or disinfected lenses, which can lead to significant health problems. If you're a regular in the extravagant costume world, and you might need colored contacts every Halloween, it's a good idea to schedule an annual eye exam in October every year; that way, your prescription will fit perfectly, and any eye problems you have will be detected early!
Remember, if you've never used contacts before, you should speak to your optometrist about technique so you understand how to apply them properly. For eye care Winnipeg citizens can trust, get in touch with Eyes in the Village; we'll be more than happy to find the perfect fit, show you how to apply, and give you props on your amazing costume! Once you're done, you can enjoy a wonderful Halloween in the Village, or wherever you end up; Happy Halloween!

Today I was looking around the web and found a picture of the last C-5 that I was a crew chief on. It was an A model 70458. Judging my the tail flashing it went to Kelly AFB sometime after I left to cross train and later to Dover. Pretty sad to see it this way. :( It was a good jet... Well as good as a leaky ole A model could be I guess.

A Handbook of Globalisation and Environmental Policy, Second Edition
National Government Interventions in a Global Arena
Edited by Frank Wijen, Kees Zoeteman, Jan Pieters and Paul van Seters
Chapter 18: Governments and Policy Networks: Chances, Risks, and a Missing Strategy
Charlotte Streck and Eleni Dellas
Charlotte Streck and Eleni Dellas SUMMARY Governments have engaged in a multitude of networks in attempts to respond flexibly to the rapidly changing political environment. A variety of international networks, fulfilling different roles, have been created between governments, governmental agencies, and private actors. This chapter describes and analyses different types of networks in which governments participate, and gives examples of governmental, transgovernmental, and public-private networks. The chapter also makes a case for a proactive governmental strategy with respect to these new tools of global governance. Recognising both the opportunities (in terms of flexibility and efficiency) and threats (especially with respect to control and legitimacy) of international networks, governments have to decide in which initiatives to participate, and how to manage, monitor, and evaluate them. Finally, global networks should complement rather than replace formal national authority. INTRODUCTION For a long time, international environmental governance, firmly based on treaty law, was the unchallenged arena of diplomats and negotiators representing the interests of sovereign states. However, since the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD), when governments agreed to include partnerships between different sectors in the official outcomes of the Summit, alliances between governments, businesses, and nongovernmental groups have increasingly taken centre stage in international cooperation. This official recognition of partnerships as part of the broader picture of environmental governance mirrors a change in the elements that constitute 510 M2782 - WIJEN TEXT.indd 510 16/11/2011 11:30 Governments and Policy Networks 511 the system of global governance. Today, powerful transnational corporations dominate the...

Methodical approach to determination of the rational zone of plying of a separate suburban passenger trainJournal: Economics Bulletin of The National Mining University (Vol.50, No. 50)
Publication Date: 2015-06-17
Authors : Barash Yu. S.; Matusevich O. A.; Kravchenko Kh. V.;
Page : 161-172
Keywords : commuter traffic; commuter trains; transportation fees; revenues from traffic; transportation efficiency; revenues; expenses; loss-making;
The method of determining the efficiency of a separate commuter train is developed which will reduce the loss-making of suburban communication in Ukraine. Methodical approach to determination of the optimal zones of suburban trains plying is improved through the establishment of a rational distance of the route, depending on the average trip length of passengers and their average number during the year, which in its turn will significantly reduce operating costs and ill improve transport efficiency.

Master Enrolment
Master Enrolment
As a result from a change in Dutch legislation, the master admission criteria for RSM Bachelor students changed as of September 2017. Starting in the academic year 2017/2018 (September 2017 intake moment) both internal (BA, IBA and premaster students) and external applicants have to meet the same admission requirements. The requirements below are ONLY for students who are completing or have completed their previous education at RSM. External students should refer to the admissions requirements listed here.
For which programmes
The admission procedure and admission requirements explained on these pages apply for the following 11 MSc-programmes:
- MScBA Accounting & Financial Management
- MSc Business Information Management*
- MSc Finance & Investments
- MSc Global Business & Sustainability
- MSc Human Resource Management
- MSc Management of Innovation
- MSc Marketing Management
- MSc Organisational Change & Consulting
- MSc Strategic Entrepreneurship
- MSc Strategic Management
- MSc Supply Chain Management
The MSc International Management/CEMS is a selective programme and has a different deadline (31 January) and admission requirements. Current or former RSM students applying for this programme should follow the same procedure as external students.
* Due to the popularity of the Business Information Management (BIM) programme there a cap is imposed on the number of internal and external students admitted. The cap for BIM has been set at 175 internal (current or former RSM students) and 75 external students. If the number of internal students who apply for this programme exceeds the number of available spaces, additional selection will be made using the overall GPA.
Bachelor GPA => 7.0 or GMAT => 600
Students need to complete their bachelor programme with a weighted grade point average (GPA) of 7.0 or higher by the 31st of August. The GPA will be calculated over all valid numerical grades in the BA or IBA exam programme. Additional grades obtained during a second bachelor degree or a master programme, can be added to the GPA calculation for the benefit of the applicant. Students can check their GPA in Osiris-Student.
Students who do not meet the GPA requirement of 7.0 or greater can still get admission by completing the GMAT exam with a score of 600 or higher. Results of the GMAT exam must be handed in by the 15th of July. Therefore you need to plan your test well in advance.
The GPA requirement does not apply to current premaster students as this has already been evaluated during the premaster admission.
In order to verify the authenticity of your GMAT exam results you must give RSM permission to access your score. This is usually done by requesting a score report to be sent to RSM when taking the test. You can also request for this to be done after the test, but GMAT charges extra fees for this. RSM also accepts the unofficial score report which you will receive right after taking the test as long as we can verify your score later.
Please note that in the future, in view of increasing demand, we expect that a number of programmes will have a limited capacity in terms of enrolled students. This will mean that meeting the eligibility criteria may not be enough to gain admission.
Proof of English sufficiency
Students of BSc Bedrijfskunde and Dutch Language Premaster students need to show proof of English language proficiency before entering the master. Premaster students can fulfill these requirements during the premaster but must meet the requirement by 15 July in the year they plan to start the master programme.
You can prove your English level by submitting;
- IELTS: Academic test minimum overall score of 7.0 and minimum sub scores 6.5
- TOEFL (iBT): minimum overall score 94 with minimum sub scores of 22 for reading, listening and speaking and for writing 24. Please note that the ITP TOEFL test offered by the Erasmus University Language & Training Centre (LTC) is not accepted.
- Cambridge:
- Cambridge ESOL: Equal to CAE-C/C1 Advanced or CPE-C/C2 proficiency
- Cambridge BEC Higher/C1 Business Higher: Minimum grade C
- a passing grade in one of the BA English courses in trimester 7 from 2015-2016 onward (these courses are only accessible for BA students, not for premaster students):
- Language course English level C1.1 (BKB1035-C)
- English business speaking and writing skills (BKB1035-D)
- English course/test results at C1 level (CEFR) taken at any accredited applied science institute or research university institute within the EU/EEA, for example an intake test from the EUR Taal- & Training centre
Please note that results of the standardized tests must be verifiable:
- TOEFL scores can be verified online. Therefore you should request the tests center to send your score report to RSM. The institutional code of RSM is 0798. Scores can only be verified for 2 years*.
- IELTS scores are verified online using the TRF code marked on the score report. Scores can be verified online for 5 years*.
- In order for RSM to verify your Cambridge score, you need to add your Cambridge candidate ID number and secret number to your application with your score report. If you do not have the candidate ID and secret number, you must contact the authorized examination centre where the examination was originally taken. Please note that RSM can not verify test scores taken before 2005*.
*If your score report can no longer be verified online, you may bring the original certificate to the RSM Admissions Office for verification.
You are exempt from taking an English language exam if:
- you are a native English speaker from the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa;
- your undergraduate programme was taught completely in the English language (a minimum of 180 ECTS) in one of the following countries: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or within the EU/EEA. If it is not mentioned in the diploma, or on the website of the university that the programme is taught completely in the English language, a statement provided by the university is required; IBA and English Language Premaster students are automatically exempted on these grounds.
- Your secondary school was taught completely in the English language in one of the following countries: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or within the EU/EEA. If it is not mentioned in the diploma, or on the website of the school that the programme is taught completely in the English language, a statement provided by the school is required.
- You have an IB English A Higher Level certificate with grade 4 or higher or IB English A Standard Level Certificate with grade 5 or higher.
Admission procedure and application deadlines
If you wish to start a master programme at RSM you need to follow the steps below:
- Familiarise yourself with the admissions process and requirements.
- Register for ONE RSM Master programme in Studielink by 31 May. The Studielink platform has been updated in October 2018. If you have not logged in since, you may be asked to verify your account.
- On the first week of June you will receive a link to the *Osiris Aanmeld platform where you need to finalize your registration and upload any supporting documents. The ultimate deadline to complete registration in Osiris Aanmeld is 15 July. This is also the final deadline to submit your proof of English proficiency and your GMAT results (if applicable). After the 15th of July changes in registrations or new applications will not be accepted.
Application/registration requests received after the deadlines will not be processed.
Studielink issues: If you have problems using Studielink, please contact the Erasmus Student Service Centre.
ERNA issues: To complete the application you need to have an active ERNA-account. If you have taken a gap year and your ERNA did not become active after you registered in Studielink, please contact the Erasmus University Support Centre (USC): firstname.lastname@example.com
*If you have not received an email with a link to the Osiris Aanmeld platform by the 2nd week of June contact the RSM Admissions Office.
Confirmation of admission
Your GPA will be calculated over all your Bachelor results. Students can therefore participate in the re-sit examinations of all Bachelor 2 and Bachelor 3 courses in the summer. As a result, it might be uncertain until the last week of August whether or not you will be able to start the programme.
You will be notified about the admissions decision by email after the final grades have been issued. For bachelor students the final diploma date must also be visible in Osiris.
Tuition fee
Tuition fees 2019-2020
The 2019-2020 tuition fee for the MSc programmes is approximately €18,000 per year. The Dutch government contributes towards this cost for students who hold nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). These students therefore pay only the statutory fee of €2,083 per year. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.
The MScIM International Management - CEMS (18 months) is a longer programme, therefore the tuition fee will have to be paid for the duration of the programme. The expected total for this programme for non-EEA students is approximately €27,000 and €3,125 for EEA students.
2nd master degree: For EEA nationals who have already completed a master in the Netherlands (and obtained the diploma) the tuition fee for a 2nd master is €11,900.
In order to start your studies in September, you must arrange the tuition fee payment by 31 August.
Extend your Residence Permit/VISA (for non-EEA/EU students)
If you were required to apply for a Residence Permit / VISA for your bachelor studies or your current master, you will need to apply for an extension. This can be done as soon as the registration for master is complete (1st of September) or three months before the current residence permit expires (it generally takes two to three months to receive the extension).
The absolute deadline for submitting the form is two months before the residence permit expires. For more info please visit the Erasmus University website.
Your contact point for the extension request is EUR International Office: firstname.lastname@example.com
Introduction events & Schedules
As the admissions process for most students can only be completed very close to the start of the academic year, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the information regarding kick-off events and schedules on time. The information will be posted on the RSM welcome pages during the summer months.
For most programmes the official kick-off events will take place on the last week of August, so keep this in mind when making vacation plans.

To my very good fortune, I must add two new friends: Gilles and Amaury, who own and operate a lovely and growing guest house in Avignon. When you are traveling to Avignon, you absolutely must stay there. They are located on the Imapsse Jean-Pierre, a small dead end street, just blocks from the Palace of the Popes. The suites are lovely, comfortable, and luxurious, every detail is beautifully designed, and as functional as they are stunning. Okay, enough about the lodgings themselves, it is the people that make it special. Amaury and Gilles invited me for dinner last night, before I left for Chateauneuf de Pape. We ate in their kitchen, a simple meal of cheeses, salad, and home made breads (yes, three separate loaves & all delicious).
Everything was delicious, but was particularly great was their company. I am best in the company of good people...my own strength and sense of self is often a reflection of my friends and family, who love me, listen to me, and break bread with me. That is what this trip is all about, so meeting these guys was a real treat.
Along with Thomas, they are running their guest house with the idea that they will welcome people into heir home to enjoy all that the South of France offers. They speak a little English and I a little French, so we managed with a Franglais, and their was not shortage of conversation!
We had such a good time that they took me to the antiques market this morning in Villeneuve. This is a must stop for any tour of Provence. The town itself is just dripping with charm, just stunning, and the Saturday morning market is full of great, interesting stuff...but for me the real find was my first French Croissant...
it was worth waiting for...the owner explained, "you cannot get this in the US," and I agreed. Thankfully, we cannot. I adore Pain D'Avignon, but I must have a reason to visit France;)
friends, wine, and croissant!

The Murder of Mexican Journalists Points to U.S. Role in Fueling Drug War Violence/
From [The Intercept] ONE MONTH AGO, the award-winning journalist Javier Valdez was pulled from his car and killed in broad daylight near his office in Culiacán, in Sinaloa state in Mexico. Valdez is the sixth journalist to be assassinated in Mexico this year, and his killing has sparked outcry and sent new shockwaves of fear through the country's media.
The journalists being targeted in Mexico have something in common: a commitment to documenting political corruption and state links to drug trafficking. Valdez's assassination follows a pattern of murder directed at silencing the messengers who are digging up truth and exposing the underbelly of the drug war.
Valdez was the co-founder of Ríodoce, the only independent paper still operating in Culiacán, which is the center of the Sinaloa Cartel and much of the drug war violence in the region. In February, Ríodoce published an interview with an envoy from Dámaso López ("El Licenciado"), formerly the right-hand man of the notorious drug lord "El Chapo" Guzmán. Lopez was apparently moving to take control of the Sinaloa cartel's territory in a fight with Guzmán's sons before he was captured by authorities last month. Guzman's sons reportedly pressured Valdez to not publish the interview. Other journalists who were close to Valdez suspect involvement of Sinaloa and federal authorities in the killing. To date, there have been no arrests reported in the case.
"We thought Javier was untouchable," said Marcela Turati, a prominent journalist who writes for the weekly magazine Proceso who was a close friend of Valdez. "He was one of the most internationally recognized journalist in the country. How do we protect ourselves if they are able to kill the most visible with impunity?"
A week before Valdez's murder, the Committee to Protect Journalists published a report detailing prominent recent murders of journalists and failures in the prosecution of the crimes. The Mexican government's human rights commission reported in 2016 that 90 percent of crimes against journalists go unpunished — 82 percent for killings and 100 percent for disappearances, where the bodies of journalists are never found. Of the 114 murders of journalists that the Mexican government has recorded since 2000, a federal special prosecutor's office for crimes against free speech has investigated 48 in the past seven years, resulting in only three sentences.
The U.S. State Department's human rights report on Mexico last year noted that "journalists were sometimes subject to physical attacks, harassment, and intimidation due to their reporting. Perpetrators of violence against journalists continued to act with impunity with few reports of successful investigation, arrest, or prosecution of suspects." This same line has appeared in all of these reports in recent years.
Nonetheless, in the face of blatant inaction by the Mexican government, U.S. assistance to Mexico's drug war has continued to flow, and to expand. Declassified State Department documents unearthed in recent years show that the United States has armed and funded Mexican military and police units despite being well aware of abuses and cover-ups. At the same time, the United States has supported projects supposedly aimed at strengthening the rule of law in Mexico, but none of it appears to be having the stated effect.
Training, Guns, and Money
Since 2008, the U.S. government has appropriated over $2.6 billion for security aid to Mexico through the Mérida Initiative — a counter-drug aid package negotiated between former U.S. and Mexican presidents George W. Bush and Felipe Calderón in 2007 — and other security assistance programs. Originally proposed as a three-year program, Mérida underwent a drastic expansion under the State Department of Hillary Clinton that continues today, despite President Donald Trump's antagonism toward Mexico over immigration and the border wall.
The aid flows not just from the State Department, but also the Pentagon, Justice Department, and other agencies. The large part of this money is funneled through U.S.-based security firms, which reap enormous profits from contracts on everything from Black Hawk helicopters to armed vehicles, intelligence equipment, computer software, night-vision goggles, surveillance aircrafts, satellites systems, and more. Additionally, weapons companies benefit from direct sales of arms and other equipment, which net another billion each year for the weapons contractors.
Along with equipment, the United States exported a kill or capture targeting strategy against the suspected leaders of Mexico's drug trade, an approach borrowed from counterterrorism that grew in popularity during Clinton's tenure at State. U.S. officials who helped shape the targeting programs include Anthony Wayne, former ambassador to Mexico and before that deputy ambassador to Afghanistan, and John Brennan, former CIA director who served as chief counterterrorism adviser to President Obama. Brennan visited Mexico in 2009 to discuss the architecture and implementation of the high-value targeting, or "HVT" operations, modeled on programs carried out in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries.

Swearing the Oath in Washington D.C., Richmond, and Lynchburg
Later this week, the presidential tradition will continue. Donald Trump will officially be sworn in as the next President of the United States. If you watch (or even personally attend) the festivities, you will see a day filled with ceremony. Some may see it all as unnecessary, and yet it is a tradition that represents one of the things that makes this nation, and its legal system, great.
Donald Trump's Oath of Office:
The highlight of the inauguration is the swearing into office. Donald Trump will put his hand on a Bible and say the following oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Why do we do this? Why doesn't Donald Trump just move in now that he has won the election? The answer is that the symbolism is important. The democratic nature of our country is entirely dependent on the participation in that democracy. Even the Democrats who are boycotting understand this. If the people of this country do not buy into democracy, democracy is nothing.
Terry McAuliffe's Oath of Office:
This ceremony filters down from the federal level of government to the states. In Virginia, the governor participates in a similar kind of ceremony before assuming office. In 2014, Terry McAuliffe swore the following oath before assuming his new position:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as [elected office], according to the best of my ability (so help me God).
It is an oath that the next governor will be asked to say in January 2018.
Joan Foster's Assumption of Office:
In 2016, a new mayor was chosen in the City of Lynchburg, Virginia -- Joan Foster. She, a member of City Council, assumed the office by being elected by her peers in City Council. While the format of her election was different, it represents an important position filled via democratic process at the local level.
Your Oath in Court:
Why does any of this matter? Why are we discussing this here? As mentioned above, the stability of this country's government, which infiltrates much of its infrastructure including the legal system, is predicated on the swearing of an oath. Most of our elected officials at all levels – federal, state, and city – do it as a mostly symbolic but necessary step before assuming office. We see it as necessary because a person's word is important. A person's word means something.
The same thing applies to you. If you ever end up in court and you are asked to swear an oath, you have to do it. Raising your right hand and telling the courtroom that you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is largely symbolic. It will not keep you from lying if you want to (of course), and yet, it is something you are still asked to do. Your word matters.
Regardless of how you feel about our country, we all benefit from its order in society. As Donald Trump takes his oath on Friday, think about all of the other oaths upon which this country has been built. While his oath is one of the most public oaths a person can make, your own oath is no less important. Taken together, they make our country -- from the White House to your house and everywhere in between – strong.

If you're buying a home for the first time, you likely have lots of questions – and you should. After all, this is likely the biggest purchase you'll make in your lifetime, so you want to make absolutely sure you're taking all the steps to do it right.
Well, we're here to help. We've helped hundreds of first-time buyers just like you, and we can answer any and all questions you have.
Here are just a few of the questions our first-time buyers usually ask. Have more? Don't see your concern addressed? Contact The Claus Team today for more help.
Do I really need a realtor?
A real estate agent can make the home buying process easier and more efficient, helping you find the right properties, at the right price point for your budget. They can also schedule tours and negotiate on your behalf, and they'll be there from start to finish, walking you through every step of the process. For a first-time buyer, this help can be invaluable.
How much can I afford?
This depends on your income and monthly expenses, as well as the mortgage rate you'll qualify for. Use a home affordability calculator to get a rough estimate, or consider getting pre-approved with a mortgage company for a more definitive number.
How do I find a mortgage company?
Your best bet is to go with a recommendation. Your real estate agent will likely have a few lenders they use regularly, or you may want to ask a friend or family member which lenders they've used and been satisfied with. You can always check online too, but be sure to read customer reviews first.
Are listing prices negotiable?
Always. You don't have to offer the full price listed for a home, and many times, sellers are willing to negotiate much lower prices than what they initially ask for. They may even be willing to cover closing costs and other associated expenses if they're really motivated to sell. This is where having a good realtor on your side can come in handy.
How long will it take?
In general, it will take about a month from the time you put an offer on a home to the time you close, which is when you'll get your keys and can move into the property. Sometimes, the closing process may take longer if there are hold-ups with the inspection or appraisal, but your agent will guide you through this and make sure things stay on track.
How much do I need for a down payment?
That depends on the type of loan you're getting, but it could be as little as 3 percent. Keep in mind though, the more you're able to put down, the less your monthly mortgage payment will be, so do your best to maximize your down payment however possible.
Are you looking to buy your first home? Let The Claus Team guide the way. Contact us to learn more or start your home search today.

The World Today
I don't think I'm going to be posting a full article today. I don't think the next one will be very business related either. I'm afraid it might come off as more a rant. Over the last few weeks I've been thinking about the government, humanity and the state of the world today. I can't help but get frustrated. We're all working parts of a system that propagates the status quo without doing anything to make it better.
It's almost like we've been brainwashed into apathy by our televisions, radios, computers and phones. Now, when we see something happening like a fire or a purse snatching we're more apt to tweet about it than we are to do something constructive like help. Even our jobs aren't constructive. We live in an economy built upon serving each other rather than producing useful goods and items.
We expect our grand government to do something about it, to fix it. But what are they really going to do? Nothing. An honest, hardworking person can no longer survive in the political system that we're so proud of. Instead they are an indentured servant to lobbyists for the money that they need to maintain their status. They have to compromise away anything substantial in order to win agreement to do anything at all. And we stand aside, a voting electorate that doesn't even pay attention to democracy until it's time to vote again. Then, we all go out and research what they say they will do instead of analyzing the real impact of what they have actually done.
We live in country where the people who earn the most money are those who can think up the coolest new gadgets and market them successfully. All while the teachers who are responsible for the education of the next generation are struggling to make ends meet and having money pulled back from them by the government officials who claim to be broke but spends millions of dollars every year on advertising and promotion just to get back to the office where they say their hands are tied because they have no money.
Then we have the parents who want to blame the teachers for not raising their kids appropriately. Parents who have abdicated the responsibility to raise their children to become strong, productive members of society. Why? So that they can live in the life of happy apathy that has come to represent the American dream in the 21st century.
Am I mad? Yes I'm mad. I'm even madder because of how hopeless it all feels sometimes. We have no way to funnel the good people who care in to productive opportunities to make a difference. As a result they gradually give in to the same apathy that infects the rest of us and live an unfulfilled life.
Does it have to be like this? No, it doesn't have to. But it's going to take sacrifice. Millions of Americans look back at Martin Luther King Jr. with respect and admiration. But how many of the millions are willing to pick up their cross and walk with it every day, just like he did, in order to make a difference in the world today?
That's what it will take. Not one person, but a tidal wave of people who are willing to sacrifice to change the way that things are done and make a difference.

What an astounding way to put feelings into words Jonathan! Once I figured out the public school system and, realizing private tuition wasn't an option, I decided to home school.
As for the economy and government, we felt the backlash when my husband gave his two week's notice for a steady job. The new job is lot less paycheck but a lot more opportunity. Opportunity to move up, branch out, and maybe even retire. The old job threatened to fire him on the spot. A hardworking, dedicated man who was always on call, missed only 4 days in 10 years, (one day each for the birth of our girls) and never took a vacation had his hours cut, his vacation tossed, and then humiliated when they made it seem like HE owed THEM something! Even when the girls were born, he just stayed overnight one time. He wasn't even there to bring us home.
It's such a shame but I've taken up writing again myself (not publicly) just to vent emotions and frustrations! You do such a great job with these blog postings. I hope you keep it up!
Leora, your husband didn't happen to work for Winn Dixie did he? That sounded awful familar to me.
Jonathan, you hit the nail on the head. Money makes everything goes around right now. I hate to say it but capitalism is part of the problem. No one will do anything if they don't see any money in it. The only organization that is willing to spend money and get absolutely nothing in return is the goverment. And unfortunately, that is going to cost us in the long run.
And you are right. It is going to take sacrifice to fix things. Unfortunately, it may already be too late to fix somethings. I heard that if every American was taxed 100% of their income, it still wouldn't wipe out the US budget deficit. That's bad. The US is borrowing money that it can't pay back. When these loans come due, we could really be in big trouble. And yet TV stations are spending record amounts to broadcast football games. And candidates for goverment office are spending millions on their campaigns. It is going to bite us–the American public–one day. I'm sure of that!

Pakistan v Australia Test - Men's
Khawaja's strong response to doubters
Player of the match defends work ethic after his career-defining century helped Australia secure a draw in the first Test
Louis Cameron in Dubai
12 October 2018, 11:00 AM AEST
A spirited Usman Khawaja took aim at his critics after scoring his match-saving maiden Test ton in Asia, fiercely pointing to a decade of hard graft as the main factor in his incredible effort in Dubai.
In near 40-degree heat, Khawaja was the backbone of Australia's nail-biting final-day batting performance against Pakistan, playing one of the greatest fourth-innings hands in Test history with a 302-ball 141.
His eight-hour, 44-minute vigil was the longest ever by an Australian in the fourth-innings of a Test and the second-longest overall, while only Bob Simpson and Mark Taylor (both in games when they made triple-centuries) have spent more time at the crease in a Test than Khawaja's 12-hour, 47-minute stay.
Having previously lamented that he's described as elegant when he's making runs and lazy when he isn't, Khawaja passionately defended his work ethic after the Aussies clung on a for an improbable draw.
"A lot of work goes into playing cricket at the highest level, I've worked as hard as anyone," the 31-year-old told reporters.
"I've worked my backside off for the last 10 years of first-class cricket, day in, day out.
"People think because of my relaxed nature that's not the case, that I've been gifted to be able to get to where I am, but it's not the case at all.
"I've worked my absolute backside off for the last 10 years and really worked as hard as I can in different conditions like this and in England and other places.
"People overlook that sort of stuff and you don't get to play at the highest level without putting in the hard yards. There's no secret to success, it's all about hard work."
Khawaja's previous Test record in Asia has been mentioned endlessly – a top score of 26 through nine innings and an average of 14 – but the signs have been there that his tireless efforts to improve it are paying off.
The left-hander scored a first-class hundred against India A last month while he also struck a second-innings county century for Glamorgan earlier this year on a dry, dusty track in Swansea.
Khawaja has insisted in recent times that his supposed weakness against spin is only a perception and his first-innings effort of 85 – a knock that came before Australia's astonishing collapse of 10-60 – demonstrated his capabilities against the likes of Yasir Shah and Bilal Asif, who claimed 10 wickets between them for the match.
The 31-year-old said that his 175-ball first-innings knock was as sapping as it was confidence-boosting.
"That was as tough as any innings as I've played," he explained.
"I was drenched. I came off the field with sweat through my shirt. My shirt was drenched and my pants were drenched.
"That took it out of me a fair bit. I've never had an innings like that."
On his second-innings century, he added: "I was feeling pretty good for most of it until we got to the second session with one hour left before tea, then I was withering.
"I was just asking for God to get the sun down so we could get some shade.
"We got in the changerooms and felt good again after I got in there and then it got a bit cooler.
"I just love batting and I was just enjoying batting out there and enjoying getting a few partnerships with the boys and playing cricket for Australia. "It's what you dream to do."
Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed admitted his side was powerless to stop an all-time great knock.
"I have seen one of the best innings in Test cricket, especially in the fourth innings," said Sarfraz.
"The way he batted, he took Australia to the draw. He batted very well, he played most of his shots, even the reverse sweep - his was a brilliant knock
"No praise is enough for his batting and then Head also supported him. Khawaja played all his shots which are usually tough on the fifth day for a batsman, sweep and reverse sweep so it's frustrating.
"Test cricket's beauty lies in that a team (can) draw from a position of losing after a thrilling contest."

If someone had told me two months ago that a MOOC would bring my family closer together I would have LOL'd at the idea. However, several weeks into my participation in the National Writing Project & Educator Innovator's Connected Learning MOOC (#CLMOOC), I can tell you that "Connected Learning" has taken on an entirely new meaning to me. Yes, I connected with many other people in the MOOC in various and interesting ways, but moreover, I made deeper connections with my family and close friends.
How? You ask – through making.
The #CLMOOC is the inverse of your typical MOOC. In this MOOC, instead of one person doling out bits of information that they deem important, the learners drive the show. The course is structured through "make cycles," in which facilitators suggest a "make" theme that can apply to virtually any interest or topic that you are passionate about learning/doing. Learners contribute their "makes" to a "make bank" for others to view, learn from, comment on, and riff off of.
I chose my makes to be about food, since my son and I have a keen interest in the subject (see my earlier post for background on this). In our first make cycle, we were asked to develop a "how-to guide" for our subject. We decided to make a three-tier cake and write a how-to guide. Mind you, this is quite ambitious for me since I can't recall the last time I made a birthday cake, let alone a three-tier goliath (I have to thank my son's obsession with Cake Boss for figuring out what in the world to do with fondant). Here is the final version of our how-to guide.
In the process of making the cake and guide we:
- Took a family trip to a friend's farm to gather ingredients
- Sought out advice from close friends on cake-making tips.
- Jointly researched cake-making techniques and designs.
- Celebrated by eating with family and friends (on more than one occasion).
- Shared photos and stories of the event with other family and friends.
- Were asked by several friends to make birthday cakes for their kids.
- [and the list continues to grow]
The making of the cake became an event that connected us with the lives of family and friends in deep, memorable, and playful ways.
The making of the cake became an event that connected us with the lives of family and friends in deep, memorable, and playful ways. And there was more fun to come- the next cycle asked us to make a "meme." This was easy – our trial runs at decorating cupcakes had been a complete fail (and thus, good learning experience), so the "nailed it" meme worked perfectly. In the process of creating and sharing this make we:
- Connected with foodie friends in my personal network, some of whom I hadn't heard from in years.
- Discussed "hacking" with my parents, and learned more about their 1960's version of making/hacking: the Whole Earth Catalog.
- Convinced my mother to use Facebook. Not sure if that was a loss or a gain.
We were then asked to create a game. I must admit, we wimped out on this. We had plans to create a Minecraft food game, but ran out of time for this. Instead we played 20 questions on a "food" theme – which was pretty fun and did involve the entire family. Who knew it was so difficult to guess 'asparagus'?
Our next task was to "hack our writing." We decided to hack a recipe for this make. Having convinced my son that the Little House on the Prairie series was the best book series ever (and hopefully not wrecking his social life in the process), we discovered the The Little House Cookbook, which curates all the dishes described across the series and provides stories and recipes. We chose to hack an "apple turnovers" recipe in several ways: 1. Make it gluten-free (celiac sufferer here) 2. Use modern apples (the apples they used back then were pretty sour and inedible by today's standards). 3. Half the recipe. In the process of this make we:
- Learned about the history of apple pie making on my father's side of the family (that's where the 'Baker' comes from, I guess).
- Took trips around the city together to find various ingredients.
- Argued about who ate whose apple turnover and then came up with a plan to respect each others' food (it all worked out in the end…).
We are still in the midst of the CLMOOC. Next up is working with light and writing. I'm not sure how we are going to work that into the theme (open for suggestions though!). I am looking forward to continued family making and celebrating. I am thankful for the CLMOOC in inspiring us to connect. make, and play together. Also, I want to give a special shout-out to Mia Zamora and Kylie Peppler for helping me think more deeply about the role of making in connected learning, and in my own life.

Hannah's Prayer of Thanksgiving
Explanation for verses 1 Samuel 2:1-10 from the MacArthur Study Bible, page 376:
"2:1-10 in contrast to the prayer that came from her bitterness (1:10), Hannah prayed from joy in these verses. The prominent idea in Hannah's prayer is that the Lord is a righteous judge. He had brought down the proud (Peninnah) and exalted the humble (Hannah). The prayer has four sections: 1) Hannah prays to the Lord for his salvation. (2:1-2); 2) Hannah warned the proud of the Lord's humbling (vv. 3-8d); 3) Hannah affirmed the Lord's faithful care for his saints (vv. 8e-9b); 4) Hannah petitioned the Lord to judge the world and to prosper his anointed king (vv. 9c-10e). This prayer has a number of striking verbal similarities with David's song of 2 Samuel 22:2-51: "strength/stronghold" (1 Sam. 2:1; 22:3), "rock" (2:2; 22:2-3), salvation/deliverer (2:1-2; 22:2-3), Sheol (2:6; 22:6), "thunder" (2:10; 22:14), "king" (2:10; 22:51), and "anointed" (2:10; 22:51)."
Let's pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I lift up all who are reading Your words today. Please show the truth to those who do not know the truth. I pray that joy will replace any bitterness in the hearts of those who are hurting. Please heal those who are sick and suffering. I pray for healing for my mom who is very ill. I say these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Some of the "I Am" Statements of Jesus
"Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35 ESV
"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12 ESV
"Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." John 8:58 ESV
(Explanation for John 8:58 from the MacArthur Study Bible page 1559:
"8:58 Truly, truly. See note on 1:51, I am. See note on 6:22-58. Here Jesus declared himself to be Yahweh, i.e., the Lord of the Old Testament. Basic to the expression are such passages as Ex. 3:14; Deut. 32:39; Isa. 41:4; 43:10 where God declared himself to be the eternally pre-existent God who revealed himself in the Old Testament to the Jews. See also notes on John 8:24, 28.")
"So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father." John 10:7-18 ESV
(Explanation for John 10:7-18 from the MacArthur Study Bible, pages1561-1562:
"10:7-10 I am the door. This is the third of seven "I am" statements of Jesus, (see 6:35; 8:12). Here, he changes the metaphor slightly. while in 10:1-5 he was the shepherd, here he is the gate. While in vv. 1-5, the shepherd led the sheep out of the sheepfold, here he is the entrance to the fold (v.9) that lead to proper pasture. This section echoes Jesus' words in 14:6 that he is the only way to the Father. His point is that he serves as the sole means to approach the Father and partake of God's promised salvation. As some Near Eastern shephers slept in the gateway to guard the sheep, Jesus here pictures himself as the gate.
10:9-10 These two verses are a proverbial way of insisting that belief in Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God is the only way of being "saved" from sin and hell and receiving eternal life. Only Jesus Christ is the one true source for the knowledge of God and the one basis for spiritual security.
10:11-18 Jesus picked up another expression from vv. 1-5, i.e., he is the "good shepherd" in contrast to the present evil leadership of Israel (9:40-41). This is the fourth of seven "I am" statements of Jesus (see vv. 7, 9: 6:35; 8:12). The term "good" has the idea of "noble" and stands in contrast to the "hired hand" who cares only for self interest.
10:11 lays down his life for the sheep. This is a reference to Jesus' substitutionary death for sinners on the cross. Cf. v. 15; 6:51; 11:50-51; 17:19; 18:14.
10:12 sees the wolf coming. . .flees. The hired hand likely represents religious leaders who perform their duty in good times but who never display sacrifical care for the sheep in times of danger. They stand in contrast to Jesus, who laid down his life for his flock (see 15:13)
10:16 not of this fold. This refers to Gentiles who will respond to his voice and become a part of the church (cf. Rom. 1:16). Jesus' death was not only for Jews (see notes on John 10:1,3), but also for non-Jews whom he will make into one new body, the church (see notes on 11:51-52; cf. Eph. 2:11-22).
10:17-18 take it up again. Jesus repeated this phrase twice in these two verses indicating that his sacrifical death was not the end. His resurrection followed in demonstration of his messiahship and deity (Rom. 1:4). His death and resurrection resulted in his ultimate glorification (John 12:23; 17:5) and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (7:37-39; cf. Acts 2:16-39)."
"I and the Father are one." John 10:30 ESV
"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world." John 11:25-27 ESV
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 ESV
(Explanation for John 14:6 from the MacArthur Study Bible page 1571:
"14:6 This is the sixth "I am" statement of Jesus in John (see 6:35; 8:12; 10:7, 9; 10:11, 14; 11:25; 15:1, 5). In response to Thomas's query (14:4), Jesus declared that he is the way to God because he is the truth of God (1:14) and the life of God (1:4; 3:15; 11:25). In this verse, the exclusiveness of Jesus as the only approach to the Father is emphatic. Only one way, not many ways, exist to God, i.e., Jesus Christ (10:7-9; cf. Matt. 7:13-14; Luke 13:24; Acts 4:14)."
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser." John 15:1 ESV
(Explanation for John 15:1 from the MacArthur Study Bible, page 1573:
"15:1 I am the true vine. This is the last of the seven claims to deity in the form of "I am" statements by Jesus in the Gospel of John (see 6:35; 8:12; 10:7, 9; 10:11, 14; 11:25; 14:6)."
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 ESV
(Explanation for John 15:4-6 from the MacArthur Study Bible, page 1573:
"15:4-6 Abide in me. The word "abide" means to remain or stay around. The "remaining" is evidence that salvation has already taken place (1 John 2:19) and not vice versa. The fruit or evidence of salvation is continuance in service to him and in his teaching (John 8:31; Col. 1:23, 1John 2:24). The abiding believer is the only legitimate believer. Abiding and believing actually are addressing the same issue of genuine salvation (Heb. 3:6-19). For a discussion of the perseverance of the saints, see note on Matt 24:13.)"
Let's pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I lift up to You those reading Your words. We worship and honor You and are so grateful for Your sacrifice on the cross. We do not deserve Your love, but we are humbled that even though we sin You still love us and have provided a way for us to be with You forever. I pray that You would speak to the unbelievers hearts and that those who are not believers would come to have faith and believe in You as their Lord and Savior. I say these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
Have a nice day!

Who do You Belong to?
Explanation for 1 John 3:9-10 from the MacArthur Study Bible, ESV, page 1919:
"3:9 The fourth reason why Christians cannot practice sin is because it is incompatible with the ministry of the Holy Spirit, who has imparted a new nature to the believer (John 3:5-8). born of God. John wrote here of the new birth (John 3:7). When people become Christians, God makes them new creatures with new natures (2 Cor. 5:17). Believers have God's characteristics because they have been born into God's family. This new nature exhibits the habitual character of righteousness produced by the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22-24). John repeats this phrase twice for emphasis. God's seed. The new birth involves the acquisition of a seed, which refers to the principle of life of God imparted to the believer at salvation's new birth. John uses this image of a planted seed to picture the divine element involved in being born again. See notes on 1 Pet. 1:23-25. abides. The word conveys the idea of the permanence of the new birth, which cannot be reversed, for those who are truly born again are permanently transformed into a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 2:10). he cannot keep on sinning. This phrase once again conveys the idea of habitual sinning (see vv. 1 John 3:4, 6).
3:10 This summary verse is the key to vv. 4-10. Only two kinds of children exist in the world: children of God and children of Satan. No one can belong to both families simultaneously. Either one belongs to God's family and exhibits his righteous character or one belongs to Satan's family and exhibits his sinful nature.
3:10b the one who does not love his brother. This phrase introduces the readers to the second aspect of the moral test, i.e., the test of love (as in 2:7-11). John develops this thought through 3:11-24. The false teachers not only had an erroneous view of Christ's nature and displayed disobedience to God's commands, but they also displayed a distinct lack of love for true believers, who rejected their heretical teaching."
Let's pray: Dear Lord Jesus, I lift up those reading Your Word today. I pray that those reading 1 John 3:9-10 would choose to belong to Jesus. I pray for the unbelievers--that their hearts would be convicted by the Holy Spirit and that they would see their sin and see the truth that is found only through Jesus in the Bible. I say these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
Note: The little children in this painting are children of God.

Dog Walking
Our male Jack Russell has become increasingly stubborn about his evening dog walk. Usually he is always ready for movement, whether that is a game of ball, a tussle with a chew animal or a walk outside. But lately he will hide when the leash comes out. We wonder what is up? Is he having PTSD?
Backstory: Both our dogs have always been calm when faced with loud noises, e.g. sirens, truck air brakes, fireworks. We were so surprised because our former Jack Russell would have none of the loud noises. He would bark loudly and ferociously at them. Was he telling them to be quiet or just didn't like the competition?
A couple of years ago while on vacation we were walking our dogs along the beach. It was evening time and we were walking along a service road that ended at a dismantled light house. Out of nowhere fireworks exploded overhead. Turned out, we were at the non-sanctioned town firework display gathering. Our female dog took the noise and lights all in stride. Our male, flattened his ears and pointed towards home. It wasn't as if any of the fireworks fell on him as they were exploding a bit from where we were walking. Nonetheless, ever since that time, any noise that sounds like a firework, explosion or even a car door slamming gets him all in a tizzy.
He needs his evening walk. We know that it is good for his digestion, for his weight and overall health. Yet, we cannot reason with him. He has to walk out of obedience to us.
Makes me think of how I am so much like our pooch in my treatment of God. There are things that He wants me to do. Things that are for my benefit and good health yet I refuse to do them. Truth be told, most times I am afraid to listen. Afraid that listening requires me to give up my plans and my control of my life. Afraid of being asked to do something that I cannot or do not want to do. Afraid that perhaps God, my creator, might not know what is best for me. Crazy.
I am sure that God wishes I would just listen. Although I am sure He isn't as frustrated as we get with our dog. I need to just do what is best for myself and get on with it. Yet I balk like my dog.
The thing is, our dog has never been hurt or maimed by the noises. We have never let any harm come to him on the walk or otherwise. We only want the best for him and act accordingly.
I know that God does the same. I just have to believe it.
What about you? Do you ever notice your behavior or lack thereof? What makes you balk when God asks you to do something? Are you afraid? Has He ever not had your best interest in mind?

Dye is one of the main harmful industrial waste, mainly from the dyes and dye intermediate production industries, made up of a variety of products and intermediate crystalline mother liquor, the loss of material in the production process and scouring the ground water and other components.
Dye industry of our country with a small number of features mostly intermittent operation intermittent discharge of waste water, water quality varies greatly. Dye production processes is long, low yield, high complicated components and concentrations of waste water (COD-1000~10 mg/l) and color depth (500~50 million). Organic components in wastewater mostly aromatic and heterocyclic compounds-matrix, with polar groups and colorant. Wastewater also contains more of the raw materials and by-products, such as halogens, nitro compounds, such as aniline, phenol, and inorganic salts such as NaCl, Na2SO4, n a2S. That dye production varieties, and toward anti-light solutions, development of resistance to oxidation, bio-oxidation, making dye wastewater treatment more difficult. Treatment of dye waste water difficulties: a COD is high, BOD/COD is small, poor biodegradability; second, high colority and complicated components. Relationship between COD removal and bleaching, bleaching more difficult.
